Chapter 78: Dark Matter Mimicry

"Wait, wait, wait!" After hearing Taiyin's explanation, Fangzheng seemed a little panicked.

"Aren't you guys starting to eat people too?"

"Even if they're still enemies after being fed milk, and even if there's no way to win them over, they shouldn't be eaten!"

"They should also be intelligent creatures, right? Aren't you the same as the Dark Lord back then?"

"No!" Taiyin slowly uttered the terrible truth, with a hint of solemnity in his voice.

He looked at Fang Zheng seriously and said in a deep voice, "They are not human at all. Or rather, they can no longer be called intelligent creatures."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and the two of them came to another cell.

The Dark Immortal King imprisoned here is not huge in body, but has the appearance of a heroic young man, and looks no different from an ordinary person.

However, he was also waiting for the fate of having his body dismantled and refined into the Immortal King's Dao Fruit.

Taiyin pointed at the Dark Immortal King and said with a grim expression, "Do you know what happened when we tried using milk on them?"

Fang Zheng frowned and asked, "What is it?"

Taiyin's voice was low: "Nothing happened! It's impossible to feed it!"

Fang Zheng quickly asked, "Then, what about the potion of weakness and the golden apple?"

In the MC world, villagers infected by zombies can be restored to normal villagers by giving them weakness potions and feeding them golden apples. This method can reduce the prices of items sold by the villagers.

If these Dark Immortal Kings can be identified as zombie villagers, they should be able to be restored to normal using this method.

But Taiyin still shook his head. "That won't work either."

To prove this, Taiyin took out a milk bucket and poured it into the mouth of the Dark Immortal King.

However, just as he said, no reaction occurred.

Fang Zheng was immediately confused.

The effect of milk should be mandatory. In previous attempts, Fang Zheng noticed that it was different from drinking milk on his own, which he had to drink actively.

Perhaps it is because of some kind of adaptability of the rules. In this world of cultivating immortals, as long as you put the milk to your mouth and make the corresponding movements, it doesn’t matter whether you are willing or not, the effect of the milk will take effect spontaneously.

Taiyin continued to explain: "Unless, according to the milk's judgment effect, this thing is not a living thing at all!"

Due to the miraculous effect of the milk bucket, it can remove all negative states, even the dark evolvers, and can forcibly erase the influence of the black air in their souls.

Therefore, in order to gain more allies and obtain more information about dark matter, the Supreme Nebulae, as soon as they discovered the invasion of the Dark Immortal, began planning to capture the Dark Immortal King and tried to restore his consciousness with milk.

But the result was a complete failure.

Milk cannot be identified as a living thing at all.

Unlike the Dark Evolvers, after being infected by the black energy, even though their mental state will begin to change, becoming gradually violent and their negative emotions will surge, they still retain some rationality.

Even if the original soul disappears as time goes by, a new dark soul is born, which has all the memories of the original one but is filled with negative emotions.

But such a dark soul, such as the Taiyin Divine Emperor, even if filled with negative emotions, still has rationality and can be communicated with.

But the dark immortal kings who attacked from the sea of ​​​​boundaries were completely different.

Theoretically, they should be more advanced than ordinary Dark Evolvers, and should possess greater intelligence, yet they lack any communicative rationality. Not only is milk completely ineffective against them, but even the Supreme Nebulae, after attempting to kill these Dark Immortal Kings, tried to use healing potions on their remaining souls, but to no avail.

Even after killing it, its body and soul will gradually collapse into the purest dark matter.

It was as if both their physical bodies and their spirits had become a mimicry of dark matter, a phenomenon, a puppet.

And if these things are puppets, then who is the one who truly controls these puppets?

"Wait!" Fang Zheng keenly caught a suspicious point.

"If these things have all become puppets, mimics of dark matter, how can you refine them to strengthen yourselves? Isn't this actively polluting yourselves?"

Taiyin shook his head and answered seriously, "Not really."

"Because we have discovered the critical point after becoming a Dark Evolver, when the original Primordial Spirit disappears and a new Dark Primordial Spirit is born."

He paused, then continued, "So, with milk as a last resort, we can proactively control this critical point."

"Therefore, when refining these dark substances that mimic the Dark Immortal King, we refine their Dao Fruit and record the results of our insights. When the erosion reaches a critical value, we use milk to eliminate its influence."

Fang Zheng understood. "Oh, so that's how it is. This is like me eating rotten meat to fill up my hunger, right?"

Taiyin gave Fang Zheng a strange look, then turned serious, "And if these Dark Immortal Kings are all puppets, then the person manipulating them must be even more powerful!"

"Strong enough to defeat us now."

"If this is possible, we must continue to hold out until the first Immortal King emerges from our individual body. Then, you can replicate it."

"Only in this way can we possibly fight against the manipulators behind these countless Dark Immortal Kings."

"Um, but is there any basis for this?" Fang Zheng was puzzled. "What if this is just a property of dark matter itself?"

"Once infected, they will completely lose their minds over time and become puppets?"

Taiyin shook his head, "Of course there is a basis for it."

He recalled the mysterious figure they had discovered during their carpet search of the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, their understanding of all the planets and all the traces of the Dao left from ancient times to the present. To be more precise, it was a mysterious human-shaped void.

You must know that the existence of all things will leave traces in the laws of heaven and earth.

No matter how many or how few such marks there are, they always exist.

For the Supreme Nebulas at this time, although the past and future of the long river of time were completely shrouded in darkness, means such as divination used to view the past and the future were almost useless.

However, through their understanding of the remaining traces in the myriad ways of heaven and earth, they can still indirectly restore the events that have occurred in the nine heavens and ten earths through reverse deduction.

Just like a person who is heavy enough will leave deeper footprints when walking on the ground, the more powerful they are, the deeper the mark they leave in the world will be.

Although it can be actively concealed through means such as the Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern, the act of concealment itself will also produce unique traces left behind by the concealment.

However, in the process of exploring the history of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Supreme Nebulae noticed a strange void in history.

It's like a clean place without footprints on a ground covered with mixed footprints.

Compared with other places mixed with numerous footprints, this clean place without footprints is made to look like a footprint hole with no trace at all.
