Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

"I'm not asking you to answer! I'm just posing a question so we can all think about it together!" Jing Yuan said, looking at everyone.

Having reached this point in our fight against the ecosystem, since there seems to be no way forward, we can only rely on existing information to make inferences.

However, Bai Yuekui didn't seem to care about any of this; in her heart, she had already made up her mind about the path she wanted to take.

At this moment, Jingnan walked over and said, "I did not find any descriptions of higher-dimensional life."

Jingyuan fell silent.

Bai Yuekui said, "Ancient civilizations may have been more powerful than humans today, but they may not have seen the whole picture of the ecosystem either."

However, you can still analyze the manufacturing method of this weapon, and perhaps you can use these technologies to develop new weapons.

After saying that, Bai Yuekui walked to Quaid, who was standing to the side, and said, "Quid, you can make a copy of this information and take it back to Uto. But you don't need the antimatter in this time capsule, so give it to me!"

Quaid smiled and said, "Okay, but it has to be done according to the deal."

Bai Yuekui frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, this time capsule was dug up by our people. And you still owe me some catalysts that haven't been delivered."

After Bai Yuekui said that, Quaid was speechless.

Jing Yuan asked curiously, "What do you want to do with antimatter?"

"As an energy source for entering higher-dimensional worlds!"

Jingyuan initially thought she was going to build a spaceship.

It seems that Bai Yuekui has been preparing for her plan all along.

Uto, the leader of Steelflame Fortress, thought the metal cylinder was a treasure, so he specially sent Quaid along.

Quaid was speechless; if he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have come.

Once the time capsule is activated, its interior can be opened.

Bai Yuekui removed the antimatter from inside, and the other components were also disassembled one by one.

Jingyuan looked at the time capsule's outer shell and asked Jingnan, "Could you help me modify this thing?"

Jing Nan, who knew Jing Yuan well, asked directly, "You want to use this material to make weapons?"

"Correct!"

Jingnan said, "Among the messages left behind by the Stardust Civilization is the technology on how to manufacture capsules. We can use this technology to create weapons for you!"

Jingyuan smiled and said, "It seems that it wasn't entirely without any gains!"

Jingnan whispered, "Aren't you going to manufacture that weapon anymore?"

Jing Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I need to wait a bit!"

"Wait for what?" Jingnan asked, puzzled.

Jingyuan smiled but remained silent.

Jingyuan is waiting for Master Lai.

After the others left the lab, Jingyuan and Jingnan remained to study the information left behind by the Stardust Civilization.

This time capsule contains nearly a thousand storage devices, each capable of holding complete weapon manufacturing technology.

To ensure that weapon manufacturing technology can be passed down, 70% of the storage units are backups of weapon manufacturing technology.

The remaining 30% is other content.

However, of the time capsules that have survived to this day, only one percent of the storage devices remain intact.

Therefore, information on weapon manufacturing technology has been preserved relatively completely.

All other information is incomplete.

Jingyuan tried to find the basis for their initial conclusion that the vines were the main body from this information, but he couldn't find a complete logical chain.

After all the technical data was imported into the computer, it took the computer an hour to simulate and display the appearance of the weapon.

According to the data, this weapon, named "Soul Destroyer," is 128 meters long and resembles an ancient pagoda in shape.

Seeing this, Jingnan asked with great confusion, "Why is it an ancient pagoda?"

"do not know."

Jingnan looked at the information on the screen; the computer was now simulating how the weapon would operate.

As Jing Nan watched, he said, "Seven people, controlling simultaneously, seven... mental... will... power... masters?"

Because the information was translated automatically by computer, the computer did not recognize some special terms.

Jingnan looked puzzled, but Jingyuan understood immediately.

He is a spiritual master!

It takes seven mentalists to operate this Soul-Destroying Tower.

Jingyuan was completely stunned when he saw it.

Even if this thing were built, where would we find seven mentalists?

……

That afternoon, Master Lai returned to the lighthouse.

Because of Master Lai's unusual appearance, he always stayed on the Swift spaceship when he was at the Lighthouse.

The Swift was suspended by Jingyuan in the middle of the stilt house in the Dust People's Suspension Zone.

A building here was destroyed by the flying Devouring Beast.

The Swift's position here perfectly restored the lighthouse's balance.

Upon learning that Master Lai had returned, Jingyuan immediately went to find him.

When he arrived at the spaceship, Mark and Bai Yuekui were also on board.

Master Lai brought good news: the Devouring Beasts surrounding Dragonbone Village were retreating.

Jingyuan was somewhat surprised.

He originally wanted to conduct an experiment, to go to other places to kill Devouring Beasts, even King-level ones, and then absorb their life essence.

He wanted to use this method to lure the creatures to hunt him down elsewhere, thus causing them to abandon Dragonbone Village.

When Master Lai returned, he said that the Devouring Beasts had gradually retreated.

There's no need for Jingyuan to conduct the experiment anymore.

In Master Lai's words, the shielding system was previously ineffective because the ecosystem was directing the Devouring Beasts. Now, as long as Jing Yuan stops absorbing the Devouring Beast source essence and the ecosystem stops paying attention to this place, the Devouring Beasts will slowly leave.

Jing Yuan showed Master Lai the information about the Stardust Civilization and asked him, "Master Lai, you said that the Lord of Light and Shadow is an artificial intelligence of an ancient civilization. Is it the artificial intelligence of the Stardust Civilization?"

Master Lai shook his head. "No."

"Which ancient civilization does it belong to?"

Master Lai shook his head again, "The time is too long, and there is very little memory left in the essence of the Light of Hope. I don't know which civilization it belongs to."

There has been more than one civilization in Earth's history, and the Star Twilight Civilization you discovered is just one of them! Moreover, their understanding is incomplete.

While the vines do contain a large amount of life-generating material, this does not mean that they constitute the main body of the mana ecosystem.

Mana ecology is merely a tool used by higher-dimensional life.

Master Lai's words were exactly the same as Bai Yuekui's.

Jingyuan stared at Master Lai and asked, "Master Lai, do you think the 'Soul Extinction' weapon is useful?"

“I think it’s useless!” Master Lai hesitated for a moment, then added, “Eliminating the Earth Vines is the same as eliminating the Devouring Beasts; it won’t harm the essence of the ecosystem!”

"Then what is the essence of ecology?"

"Of course, it's a higher-dimensional being that's controlling everything from behind the scenes!"

Master Lai and Bai Yuekui gave the same answer: they both believed that the culprit behind the ecosystem was higher-dimensional life.

"Then what are higher-dimensional life forms?"

Chapter 207 He is not trustworthy

Master Lai said, "The part of my original consciousness that merged with me was disconnected from the ecological network many years ago, so we can only find out what the situation is like in the higher dimensions by going there."

Bai Yuekui listened to Jing Yuan's question from the side, then looked at Jing Yuan. He had come over and asked Master Lai the same question again.

"Do you think I've been hiding information about higher-dimensional life from you?"

“No!” Jing Yuan said calmly, “Everyone has a different perspective on a problem, and the answers they get will also be different.”

Master Lai looked at Jing Yuan and said, "I know you want to know about higher-dimensional life, but we cannot know before we enter the higher-dimensional world."

Master Lai then looked at Bai Yuekui and asked, "Girl, did you tell him about our plan?"

"No!" Bai Yuekui shook his head. "Our plan doesn't need him!"

"It's just entering a higher-dimensional world, isn't it? Do you have other plans?"

Bai Yuekui shook his head, "No, it's just a plan to enter a higher-dimensional world!"

Jingyuan looked at Master Lai and asked, "Master Lai, I want to confirm something with you."
