A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 88 Atomic Biology is Too Convenient

After an unknown force passed, a void space took shape.

Within this void, a supreme being, surpassing all others, was born.

When a powerful being opens their eyes, the void is illuminated by light into a pure white expanse; when they close their eyes, the ever-changing void returns to silence; when they speak, all the laws of the heavens permeate the void; and with a single movement, the space of the void is stirred up and turned upside down.

One day, the perfect supreme being saw a large hole appear in the void. A savage beast capable of devouring the void ran into the hole. To prevent this space from being destroyed, the two began to fight without saying a word.

Savage beasts are extremely powerful beings. Even the most perfect and powerful being who ultimately wins the battle is only severely injured and on the verge of death after narrowly winning by one move.

With its last ounce of strength, the supreme being placed a restriction on the massive hole torn by the savage beast in the void, preventing the endless chaotic energy from polluting this space, before finally perishing.

The flesh and blood of the strongest beings transformed into land, rivers, lakes, and seas, while their bones became countless fragments. These fragments were engraved with profound and mysterious techniques, which were the ultimate principles of the world. Their souls were transformed into countless living beings on the earth.

This is the Desolate Ancient Realm.

As beings of the ancient wilderness, anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows about the supreme creator of the world; this is an inherited memory they possess from birth.

However, this inherited memory is beyond their control, and its content cannot be increased or decreased. Many beings in the Ancient Wilderness Realm believe that this is the inherited information left to them by that supreme being, and also evidence of that supreme being's existence.

Relying on inherited memories, the creatures of the Ancient Wilderness have long enjoyed exploring various mysterious places. In these places, they discovered numerous inscriptions recording how to cultivate spiritual energy, thus embarking on the path of spiritual energy cultivation.

Then came the establishment of a sect, gradually raising the level of spiritual energy amidst fierce competition, and exploring the thirteen realms of spiritual energy.

Furthermore, according to the inscription, there are realms above the thirteenth level.

Unfortunately, due to the inscription's incompleteness, the beings of the Ancient Wilderness Realm could only cultivate to the thirteenth level before they had no further guidance and could only rely on their own exploration.

After a long period of 50,000 years, a peerless genius was finally born in the Desolate Ancient Realm.

He challenged numerous sects, plundered their scriptures, and then summarized the cultivation experiences of various sects and schools. He forged a new path and broke through the thirteenth level of spiritual energy in one fell swoop, reaching the fourteenth level!

However, this was far from enough; this extraordinary person was not content with being trapped in the Desolate Ancient Realm.

Since savage beasts can invade from outside the space, it means that there is another space outside of this space.

The unknown contained within this realm beyond the heavens deeply attracted this extraordinary person. Perhaps the realm beyond the heavens also contains records of the cultivation methods for the fourteenth level and beyond, allowing him to advance even further based on his current level!

Outside the sealed palace, corpses piled high and blood flowed freely.

To prevent anyone from breaking the barrier, someone built a barrier palace in front of it. A strange person ventured into this place alone and fought fiercely with countless powerful spiritual beings for many days. His corpse floated in the void, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

In the end, only ten level thirteen experts from the Forbidden Palace were left, barely managing to survive the battle.

But that's all. Faced with even more powerful spiritual energy, even if ten people worked together, they would still find it difficult to contend with the spiritual energy of those at level thirteen or higher.

"You insignificant insects, how dare you obstruct my path?"

A humanoid creature stood on the ruins of the Forbidden Palace, arrogantly turning its back, ignoring the ten weaker psychics of its kind behind it, its gaze fixed on the large vortex in the void behind the Forbidden Palace.

Although it is a humanoid creature, it only has two arms, two legs, a head, a mouth, and two ears; in other aspects, it is nothing like a human.

It has three eyes: two on its face and one on its forehead. The pupils are vertical, like a cat's eyes.

It has a large mouth with the corners of its mouth splitting to the base of its ears. Its earlobes are very long, hanging down to its shoulders. It has four fingers, twice the length of a human's.

Its skin is a ghastly green color, and it has no hair on its body, making its skin more like that of a fish.

They don't have long noses; they breathe through their skin, like the leaves of a plant. By human biological standards, they are probably a kind of creature between plants and animals. Some plant characteristics can also be seen in these humanoid creatures.

The humanoid creature with pale green skin suppressed its excitement as it looked at the vortex behind the sealed palace. According to its inherited memories, what lay before it was the Gate of Annihilation. Once anyone passed through this gate, it meant that the Ancient Wilderness Realm would be destroyed.

"That's the Gate of Annihilation! Brahma Heavenly Saint, if you go there, you will bring an irreparable catastrophe to the Ancient Desolate Realm! Cough cough cough..."

When the ten elders of the Forbidden Palace saw that Brahma Heavenly Saint had his back to them and was facing the vortex, they assumed that he was about to cross the threshold and tried to get up to stop him. However, their injuries were too severe, and as soon as they stood up, they coughed up blood.

The dark green blood stained the clothes of the ten elders of the Forbidden Palace dark green.

Brahma Heavenly Saint laughed wildly, "Hahaha! How laughable! It's a waste that Feier and the others are also powerful immortals who dominate their respective regions, yet they act so cowardly! Hahaha!"

"You possess no heart of a true warrior; this is why you are trampled beneath my feet by the Great Dao! Hahahaha!"

An elder, lying on the ground unable to rise, angrily rebuked, "For the sake of one person's desires, you're willing to plunge the entire Ancient Realm into annihilation? Brahma Heavenly Saint, is this your path? Selfishness... cough cough cough... the path of selfishness! cough cough cough..."

"Hmph! Don't try to compare me to incompetent people like you!" Brahma Heavenly Saint sneered disdainfully.

With an arrogant gaze, Brahma Heavenly Saint swept his eyes over the Sealed Palace, now reduced to ruins by his spiritual energy, before turning his disdainful look to the ten dying elders of the Sealed Palace. He declared haughtily, "A cataclysmic disaster? If there truly is a cataclysmic disaster, I, Brahma Heavenly Saint, will destroy it! This is the invincible heart! My supreme path to power! This is a realm you can only look up to in your entire lives, a realm you can never attain!"

Turning his head, Brahma Heavenly Saint, filled with boundless excitement, used his spiritual energy to leap into the enormous vortex.

"Gate of Destruction, let me witness your great calamity!"

The ten elders of the Forbidden Palace watched in horror as Brahma Heavenly Saint flew away, desperately trying to stop him, but their injuries were too severe. They were barely able to maintain their physical condition, let alone have any spiritual energy to use.

"No!"

"Don't go over there!"

"It's over!"

Under the sorrowful and desperate gaze of the ten supreme elders of the Forbidden Palace, Brahma Heavenly Saint used his spiritual energy to withstand the powerful gravitational pressure and passed through the vortex.

What came into view was neither the sounds of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, nor the wild beasts that Brahma had imagined in his childhood.

There was nothing here, only a deathly silence and pitch blackness.

The only source of light was the large vortex behind Brahma Heavenly Saint.

"Is this the other side of the gate to destruction?"

Brahma Tian Sheng muttered to himself as he observed his surroundings. After a moment of vigilance, he shook his head with disdain.

"Ha, just as I suspected, the so-called catastrophe was nothing but a lie. There's nothing behind the door, so what kind of great disaster could there be?"

"Let me, Brahma Heavenly Saint, explore this unknown land..."

……

Meanwhile, the managers of the breeding area outside the closed-loop space-time received a report from the atomic organisms within the breeding area.

"Scan completed."

Since atomic organisms were designed, the Babel bee colony no longer needs to specifically capture organisms in the breeding area to examine their brain structure.

Since these psionic beings are atomic beings, wouldn't it be possible to directly obtain the structure of the psionic brain by simply having the atomic beings report their respective locations?

Unless the psionic creatures in the breeding area construct a second brain using subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, the structure of such atomic creatures cannot be directly understood because they are not microscopic enough.

However, it's not a big problem, because at least level fourteen psionic energy cannot forcefully guarantee that neutrons will not decay, and protons and electrons cannot combine due to electrical repulsion.

As for the combination structure of protons and electrons, such as this metallic hydrogen structure, bee colonies also have ways to cope with it.

In short, everything is fine.

"Slow down the time in the breeding area first, complete the collective upgrade, and then clean it up." The breeding area manager ordered Atomic Bio.

"OK."

In the breeding area, the atomic organisms responded and then got back to work.

All of this was observed by the mastermind Rabi, who, due to the tasks assigned by Lu Shang, became the mastermind in charge of the river system's aquaculture farm.

As Lu Shang had previously mentioned the risks, in order to avoid them as much as possible, Rabbi monitors all changes in the river system aquaculture farm in real time through the bee colony network.

"There's something I don't quite understand," Rabbi asked the manager of the breeding area directly.

"What's wrong?"

The managers of the aquaculture area had always known that the rabbi would monitor everything at the river system aquaculture farms, so there were no surprises.

"Why spread it in the breeding area? The tunnels will bring disaster to civilization," the rabbi asked, puzzled.

Indeed, this inherited memory is the work of the Babel Tower bee swarm, as are those stone tablets scattered in various secret realms that record the cultivation methods of spiritual energy. Those are the cultivation methods of the second brain of the Ring World.

The rabbi could understand the latter, since the purpose of breeding was to improve psionic levels, but he couldn't understand the former. Why tell those psionic creatures beforehand that the tunnel was a gate to destruction?

Wouldn't that mean that no psionic beings would want to cross the tunnel anymore?

The manager of the breeding area said, "Because I've discovered that in any civilization, there's always a desire to break taboos. The more taboo something is, the more one wants to break it and push the boundaries until the taboo no longer exists."

"Based on my observations, this is likely due to the thirst for knowledge inherent in the deepest levels of the thinking of intelligent beings. It is a primal driving force hidden deep within the minds of beings. This is why civilization's rules deviate from the rules of the universe, yet it can still exist stably. Objectively speaking, this is not unrelated to the primal driving force continuously breaking existing rules and then breaking taboos."

The rabbi suddenly realized, "So you thought of using this?"

The breeding area manager said, "That's right. I summarized Lu Shang's previous experimental information and found that we can't push the psionic creatures in the breeding area too hard. If we push them too hard, they will easily grow out of control. What the bee colony wants is for these psionic creatures to break through their psionic level, not to maximize their combat power based on their existing psionic power. So we have to handle it gently."

Rabbi agreed with the management of the breeding area, but a question arose in his mind.

"Is it impossible for a civilization to give up on breaking taboos?"

The manager said, "I'm still here, aren't I? If all the psionic creatures in the breeding area really give up on breaking through the taboo, then clean them up and replace them with the next batch. Anyway, those who will just give up are ultimately a minority, while those with ambition are the majority."

When the conversation with Rabbi turned to Lu Shang, the administrator asked somewhat curiously, "Speaking of which, what has Lu Shang been busy with lately? I remember he used to be quite keen on improving his psionic level."

"Some time ago, he discovered some atomic machinery from an unfamiliar civilization, and he's currently focusing all his energy on that," the rabbi replied.
