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

This time, Kunjie died, and Gaoge died too.

The elderly people left behind by Sister Hongkou are all gone now.

The majority of hunters are now newcomers.

However, even the newcomer Mark had his eye on died.

For a moment, a feeling of despair crept into Mark's heart.

At this moment, he realized that all their battles would be in vain if the Mana ecosystem was not resolved.

All sacrifices are worthless.

Generation after generation has sacrificed themselves, but the Mana ecosystem remains, and the Devouring Beasts still exist.

If this continues, humanity will be the first to perish.

"Mark!" Mo Cheng came up from behind. "Should we go back now, or head to the next supply depot?"

Mark thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back!"

……

Inside Dragon Bone Village.

The villagers held a ceremony to commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed their lives at the lighthouse.

Since the Lighthouse and Dragon Bone Village began their cooperation, Dragon Bone Village has been storing the life essence of those who sacrificed their lives at the Lighthouse in order to prevent the life essence from falling into the hands of the ecosystem.

None of the people who sacrificed themselves in this mission had their life essence absorbed by the Devouring Beast.

In theory, all of these people have a chance to be resurrected. Thinking about this makes everyone feel a little better.

After the resurrection ceremony, everyone at the lighthouse returned to the lighthouse.

Mark and Ran Bing walked at the back.

Mark stopped when he reached the village entrance.

Ran Bing saw Mark's expression and knew that he must have something on his mind.

Mark looked at Ran Bing and said, "Ran Bing..."

"What do you want to say?"

Mark sighed and said, "Before, with Jingyuan around, collecting the materials to build the Soul-Destroying Tower was relatively easy. But now, it's very likely that even if everyone is sacrificed, we still won't be able to complete the Soul-Destroying Tower."

Mark didn't think this way just because of this mission.

Ever since he decided to build the Soul-Destroying Tower, someone has sacrificed themselves on every mission to collect materials.

The lighthouse can no longer withstand such strain.

Are you giving up?

“Yes!” Mark paused for a moment before slowly saying, “Perhaps… the only way now is the one Bai Yuekui mentioned!”

Ran Bing's eyes were filled with reluctance! She knew this day had finally come. Now that Mark had made his decision, no one could stop him!

Given the choice between the extinction of humanity and sacrificing himself, Mark would certainly choose to sacrifice himself to save others.

Mark smiled and said to Ran Bing, "I said I would protect you! If I can really solve the Mana ecosystem problem, you must live a good life!"

With tears in her eyes, Ran Bing said, "Don't worry, even if you become a Devouring Beast, I will still love you!"

"Ran Bing, take good care of yourself!"

Ran Bing hugged Mark tightly, and the two stood at the village entrance and cried for a long time.

Ran Bing left and returned to the lighthouse.

Mark turned and entered Dragon Bone Village.

Mark arrived at Bai Yuekui's residence and went inside.

Bai Yuekui was sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, resting with his eyes closed.

She knew Mark had arrived, but she didn't say a word.

"Bai Yuekui, use your plan!"

"Have you thought it through?" Bai Yuekui's tone showed no surprise whatsoever.

"I figured it out!"

"it is good!"

Mark looked at Bai Yuekui and asked another question: "In your eyes, what am I?"

Bai Yuekui stood up, looked at Mark, and said, "You will be the most powerful weapon against the Mana ecosystem!"

Chapter 238 Yet another ancient civilization!

A paradise on earth.

Jing Yuan cultivated in the Peach Blossom Paradise and actually broke through to the sixth level.

After his mental power was raised to the sixth level, his physical attributes were also enhanced.

After his body was strengthened, he was able to withstand more mental energy.

Even after Jingyuan broke through to the sixth level, he continued to practice by copying the stone-carved runes every day.

He used sixth-level mental power to copy it, and the growth rate of his mental power was ten times that of before.

In just one month, he was able to unleash thirty-six strands of mental energy, controlling thirty-six small knives to make copies.

There are hundreds of thousands of stone carvings on the mountain. The effect of copying them with a single knife is completely different from that of copying them with thirty-six knives.

Thirty-six small knives is the minimum requirement.

Only by simultaneously activating all thirty-six small knives to copy the inscriptions could Jingyuan perceive the information contained within these stone-carved runes.

These stone carvings, like the patterns on a vinyl record, record information through different patterns, thus reproducing the music of that time.

The stone carvings and runes on the entire mountain are like a giant record, and each knife that Jingyuan controls with his telekinesis is like a record needle.

To transform vinyl records into beautiful music, you need a phonograph.

To decipher the information on the mountain, a spiritualist is needed.

This form of communication is unique to spiritual practitioners.

If a mentalist cannot replicate the thirty-six strands of mental power, they can train their mental power by imitating superficial patterns until they can use the thirty-six strands of mental power.

Jingyuan controlled the thirty-six small knives, like a needle gliding across a record.

As the needle traces the grooves carved into the stone, an ancient and mysterious message begins to emerge from the stone wall.

A strange spiritual power enveloped Jing Yuan.

"Hello! Fellow countrymen of future civilizations!"

A blurry figure appeared before Jing Yuan's eyes.

"who are you?"

"We are a civilization born from this planet, you can call us the Immortal Civilization. Our Immortal Civilization appeared many years before your civilization. This time is at least several million years, and at most tens of millions of years. I don't know how much time has passed, but at least several million years! This time is enough for an ordinary species to evolve into a civilization."

Immortal civilization? Another ancient civilization?

Both the last message and the message received this time were transmitted directly to Jing Yuan's brain via brainwaves.

This method allows Jingyuan to directly understand the other party's meaning, thus avoiding translation errors.

Therefore, the Immortal Civilization and the Starry Night Civilization are two different civilizations.

"you……"

Jingyuan was about to ask a question when the other person paused, but the other person continued talking.

Jingyuan then realized that this was just a recording, not a conversation.

"Although you and I are not even the same species genetically."

But please allow me to call you a fellow traveler, because we are all intelligent life forms nurtured by the source matter of this planet.

If you can enter the small world and unravel the mystery of the runes, you must be one of the best in this civilization!

The runes in this small world are a letter we leave to future generations of civilization, and also a hope for the continuation of our civilization.

Just as Jingyuan was wondering what the hope for the inheritance of civilization was, a sentence from the phantom shocked him once again!

"Before our civilization was born, our planet was occupied by the mana ecosystem. When our civilization developed to a certain extent, the mana would awaken. In our time, our civilization fought against the mana ecosystem for thousands of years."

Jingyuan stared wide-eyed at the illusory figure.

The Stardust Civilization's time capsule states that they have been fighting against the Mana ecosystem for hundreds of years.

Here, the Immortal Dao civilization says they have been fighting for thousands of years.

Judging from the time it took to confront the Mana ecosystem, the Immortal Civilization was clearly more powerful than the Stardust Civilization, and both of these ancient civilizations were more powerful than the current civilization.

Because our current civilization has only lasted for a few decades.

"We tried every possible method, but ultimately we were unable to defeat the Mana ecosystem."
