From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Or they learned about the situation from travelers who went to the ground from the lighthouse.

In short.

Their main reason for being wary of lighthouses is their three inhumane laws!

As for whether the Three Laws truly guaranteed the survival of the majority of those in the Lighthouse...

Hong Guniang believes there are still some.

But after seeing the crashed spaceship in the canyon and learning that no spaceship had been able to successfully fly out of space in the early stages of the cataclysmic event in that timeline, she was certain that if the Mana ecosystem wanted to, the lighthouse could not have flown in the sky for so many years. The fundamental reason must be that there was something at the core of the lighthouse that was very likely to be very important to the will of the Mana ecosystem.

This prevented the lighthouse from crashing directly.

And do these ground survivors covet the lighthouse's resources?

Maybe there is.

But judging from the expressions of these six people... apart from Boss Bai, the other five are mostly genuine and true to themselves, and they are all local cultivators!

Although these people didn't quite seem like the practitioners she had in mind, and appeared to be overly emotional, they were still practitioners after all, and should be able to understand each other's ways of thinking.

"So, my companions and I are gradually changing the lighthouse, rendering the Three Laws obsolete. Perhaps we can cooperate?"

Mr. Bai's eyes gradually deepened, and he finally shook his head, saying, "Then let's wait until you change the Lighthouse. Until then, I will never trust the Lighthouse again."

"Again?"

Red Girl astutely grasped the key words, realizing that the faction these six belonged to might have clashed with the Lighthouse, and that the Lighthouse had won—according to what Lu Jin learned from Eun, the Lighthouse's Abyssbreaker Armor seemed to have been snatched from a white-haired woman…

Could it be this Mr. Bai standing right in front of us?

"also."

With this thought in mind, Red Girl agreed, "Once we have complete control of the Lighthouse, as a token of our sincerity, I will return the Abyss to you, using it as a bridge for cooperation between us, how about that?"

"You actually know about the Abyss Walker?"

Shan Da was surprised, "Then Charles gave you a pretty high official position."

“He didn’t tell us about the Abyss Walkers, but one of my partners obtained the information from another high-ranking official through coercion and bribery.” Red Girl replied without hesitation.

Shandong University: "???"

Mr. Bai frowned and asked, "Can Charles tolerate this?"

"If he hadn't contracted scarlet fever, he probably wouldn't have been able to endure it."

The girl in red chuckled, "My companions and I are playing the roles of tigers, deer, and sheep. When Charles's days are numbered, the 'empire' of the lighthouse will be ours to rule!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Bai raised an eyebrow, clearly familiar with the book "Journey to the West." After a moment of thought, he asked again, "How long will it take?"

"Plans can't keep up with changes. We're just going with the flow right now. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be done in less than a year." Miss Hong awaited Boss Bai's response.

After a long pause, Boss Bai finally spoke, asking, "Do you know the fundamental reason for the establishment of the Three Laws?"

"To make the lighthouse operate more efficiently, conserve resources, and eliminate emotions..."

The Devouring Beast tracks its target using life essence, and human emotions cause strong fluctuations in life essence.

Just like when a person is excited, whether it's joy or anger, their whole body feels full of power, and their strength is three times greater than usual.

Hong Guniang knew perfectly well that the ground survivors who could use the "Return to Origin" method must know this, and even guessed that they had facilities to block emotions.

After all, judging from the expressions of Wuting and Nann before, these local cultivators seem to be quite straightforward... while Guiyuan would obviously break his cultivation due to emotional fluctuations, so there must be some kind of device that can shield the human body from emotional fluctuations.

"Then you should know how many Devouring Beasts would be triggered if the Three Laws were to completely collapse and the emotions that have been suppressed for so long were to erupt?"

At this point, Boss Bai also revealed a piece of information: "The evolution of the Mana ecosystem requires a large amount of life essence, and we, the survivors on the ground, are unwilling for the Mana ecosystem to take away any more life essence."

“I know, but as long as the lighthouse remains suspended in the sky, even if the Mana ecosystem evolves into flying Devouring Beasts, it will absolutely not launch a large-scale attack.”

Red Girl smiled confidently, "In this way, we can train a group of warriors with strong will. Instead of hiding, we should take the initiative to fight and fight for the future of humanity in this world."

Why are you so certain?

Now it was Boss Bai who was puzzled.

"The people at the Lighthouse said that after the Great Cataclysm, spaceships around the world malfunctioned due to various accidents, and even signals sent into outer space went unreceived..."

# Chapter 1165 Dragon Bone Village

Is that girl in red really trustworthy?

On the way back to Dragon Bone Village, Shan Da's eyes were full of suspicion. "Boss Bai, that woman is just as assertive as you, and she can even fly!"

How exactly did she manage to fly?

Xia Dou still finds it hard to believe that after the girl in red finished talking to them, she leaped into the air and transformed into a streak of light like clouds.

Although Kolova in the village also has the potential to transform herself into an element and become a liquid, the form that Red Girl takes doesn't seem to be a simple gasification.

After Kolova liquefies, she is immune to physical attacks, can dissolve in water, and has the same properties as real water. However, she cannot control real water flow and can only use the liquid she transforms into to pull enemies into the water during combat.

But after the red girl "gasified", theoretically her body should become very light and float with the wind. However, she was able to fly autonomously, ignoring the airflow, and her speed was so fast that it might even be comparable to the speed of sound!

If the flight speed could reach the speed of sound, it should produce a sonic boom!

But the girl in red did not fly silently, as if she were sliding along invisible and intangible "undercurrents" or "channels" in the air, which was simply unbelievable!

"She is probably as old as she looks, but her will is definitely no weaker than mine... We are not the same kind of people, but we can be friends."

Mr. Bai first answered Shandong University's question.

The unspoken meaning can be summed up in two words:

believable.

Besides, this is why Master Lai also allowed them to contact her.

Then, she answered Xia Dou's question: "As for her potential, it should be similar to Kolova's elementalization, which allows her to vaporize herself, but also to manipulate magnetic fields."

It should be about connecting with the air currents in the sky and the magnetic field on the ground, thereby using the power of nature to achieve the purpose of flight.

Furthermore, it should also be able to bind its gasified body in one place, forming a dynamic force field to prevent itself from disintegrating during high-speed flight.

Such exquisite manipulation... If there's no other reason, then her understanding of the human body is definitely no less than mine. And you might not have noticed, but when she uses her potential, she doesn't wear any auxiliary devices like we do.”

Each Awakened in Dragonbone Village has different potential, but to unleash that potential to its fullest potential, they must be supported by equipment.

Even someone as powerful as Boss Bai needs to wear appropriate tool gloves to perform precise operations when using the potential similar to the Bessel beam.

"That's really exaggerated?"

Xia Dou pouted and asked, "Then, Boss Bai, who's better between you and her?"

"Take her flying ability as an example. Her efficiency in utilizing life essence may be higher than mine. In a real fight, there are too many factors. Reality does not have the truly fair arena that is in theory, so it is hard to be sure."

Because she didn't know much about Miss Hong, Boss Bai didn't dare to make any guarantees, but she wouldn't be afraid if a disagreement arose someday, even to the point of having to fight.

As they were discussing, they arrived at Dragonbone Village—

This is a village built in the mountains, and vehicles enter a tunnel from halfway up the mountain.

Against the backdrop of the unknown giant beast's spine above the tunnel, the car drove into the supply station at the village entrance, where it encountered a tall, upright creature over three meters tall, with dark gray skin, a tail, disheveled hair, a short horn on its forehead, and a face that resembled a feline but also somewhat like a monkey.

"Mark, after two months of recuperation, the scarlet toxins and the vital essence in your body have been almost completely eliminated. Are you going to start training immediately?"

Maiduo climbed out of the car window and jumped in front of the creature, which resembled an upright Devouring Beast. She patted his hand, which was bigger than her head, as a greeting, "How is it? Can you control this body freely?"

"Not bad. Speed, strength, and defense all surpass my previous self, but it always gives me a cold feeling, making me feel like I'm not human." Mark clenched his fist, making a cracking sound. His strength far exceeded that of a human body, but his expression was downcast, without a trace of excitement.

Compared to the power contained within this Devouring Beast body, he would much rather possess his original human form—

Although its strength is far less than that of this body, it is at least a person.

"Don't be so discouraged. At least you're still alive, and you're still the hope for eradicating the Mana ecosystem. Cheer yourself up."

Maido encouraged, "When you first came to Dragonbone Village, you could only crawl on all fours, but now you can walk upright."

mark:"······"

I feel offended!

But what Maido said makes sense. At least compared to his wild beast-like appearance back then, he now looks more like a human.

If one can awaken their source potential, perhaps—

Thinking of this, Mark immediately asked Boss Bai in the driver's seat, "Bai Yuekui, when can I awaken my source potential?"

"Let's train for a while longer. There are two ways to awaken your source potential: one is spontaneous awakening, and the other is relying on equipment. But both require a certain understanding of yourself. You are not yet fully familiar with this body. If you rush to awaken it with the help of equipment, there may be problems."

Boss Bai's real name is Bai Yuekui, and he rejected Mark.

"But···"

"There are no 'buts'."

Bai Yuekui interrupted Mark, smiled, leaned out of the car window, and pointed to the round ball covered with a gray cloth at the back of the car, saying, "Help me remove the marrow crystal from the back of the car and put it back in. This car of mine is almost totaled."

resignedly.

Mark could only go to the back of the carriage, untie the ropes, and take the spherical myelin crystal down, saying, "This is a myelin crystal? Why is it round? Why is it wrapped in cloth?"

Out of curiosity, he tore off the cloth covering it, revealing a bright blue, spherical crystal, inside which was even a human being!

"Why are there people inside?" Mark's pupils contracted as he asked Bai Yuekui for the reason.

"That's why I led the team out twice."

Bai Yuekui recalled Master Lai's instructions before he gave her the mission, and patiently explained, "Sword Radiance Grand Canyon, or as you know it, the W-38 resource gathering point, has undergone a change in the ground vines below. The specifics are unclear, but the roots are spherical. We found this special marrow crystal in it, and when we brought it out of the canyon, all the Devouring Beasts in the vicinity rushed over... The Mana ecosystem is most likely caused by humans, but not by humans."

"alien?"

The amount of information was so overwhelming that Mark momentarily came up with a bizarre answer, but immediately dismissed it, "Impossible, those Devouring Beasts have no intelligence at all!"

"Perhaps it's to plunder the life-gathering essence of Earth?"

"Perhaps we're going to conduct an ecological experiment on Earth?"

"If they really are aliens, then you'll have to go into the vortex of filth to ask them about their purpose. I just hope you won't be misled by them."

Bai Yuekui's eyes narrowed for a moment, but then he said to Mark, "Alright, don't ask so many questions. Although you live in the mountain village, I pay for your food. Your meals in the village are also charged to my account. You have to do some hard work, right?"

According to the lighthouse traveler recently received by the village, you always think about the people on the lighthouse, but just thinking about it is not enough; you have to personally experience the hardships of the people.
