Above the nine springs, people rob the earth and the spirit

Chapter 261 Information from the Outside World

"I don't remember. I forgot my identity. I only remember that I was once a human being like you. Perhaps I can tell you something that you might be more interested in than these."

Compared to the past when only fragments of information were revealed, this underground being now speaks more.

"You should have discovered that your thoughts may cause some bad things to happen. That's why, in the beginning, terror and weirdness enveloped the entire world, and during the century-long dark age, countless tragedies were created. But at the same time, humanity was also growing rapidly."

Bai Tianqing listened very seriously, and of course she did not stop absorbing information from the mental hospital at the same time.

"Among them, there is a plan called the Shanhaijing Project. In the process of exploring themselves and exploring strange powers, humans have discovered that they can use artificial means to create some machines that can counterbalance strange powers... machines, or humans, but in fact, they can't be called humans. You have seen those pomegranate people, right? They are the result of self-evolution and selection. Most of them are uncontrollable and can also be very dangerous and polluting."

"During the Shan Hai Jing project, a large number of lives that could survive pollution were born, but their forms shifted from humans to strange species. Because these species were similar to some of the strange beasts in Shan Hai Jing, they were named this way. I am one of them."

"But to be precise, I should be part of the Shanhaijing Plan's Life Extension Plan, the so-called Ancient Mythical Beast Plan. My ability is to devour, and my corresponding code name is Taotie. So I no longer remember who I am, and I can't answer you."

Bai Tianqing seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Otherwise, I want to know more about the outside world."

"I'm sorry, as the first generation experiment, I don't know much more about the outside world than you do. I just know the meaning of my existence and my mission."

"Then what is your current situation?" Bai Tianqing didn't hesitate.

"Lost control, just like you did before, I lost control of my body, or I should say I lost control of my power. My original form was actually no longer a human form. Despite this, as my power grew, I gradually lost control of it. Before I completely lost control, I was locked up here. There are strong defenses around here. At least for a hundred years, my power will not spread out and cause harm to the surroundings."

"At first, I discussed with them how to control power, and I also participated in many experiments. A lot of my power was directly extracted by them. I think your existence should be based on my existence. After seeing you, I know what method they have developed."

"We have discussed this before. Although the beast form can enhance the body's quality in a short period of time, it seems that only the human form is the most perfect. It is the best form to learn and control strength. However, before mastering it, the body will still collapse. This is a very difficult problem to solve."

"But you have regained control of your body now because of plants. Indeed, when the Dark Ages came, plants still took on most of the purification capabilities, although this also caused the plants to mutate. Especially when combined with souls, these plants will have life. They can even turn into humans again. Or it can be said that this is a fusion of plants and humans. You are now a very good fusion of this method."

Bai Tianqing pondered in silence.

All this does sound like an evolution, so is the ultimate goal of evolution to become a human being who can control this powerful force?

In this way, humans should be able to re-establish a new order, and these strange things will no longer have any impact.

"Then do you know about the Eternal Life Plan? I don't know if it's called this plan. Are there any other plans besides the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

"Before I lost control, the Nuwa Creation Plan should have been launched. It is a skill about the reincarnation of the soul, the immortality plan... I don't know. I only know that there is a Human Immortality Technology Research Institute, which is also the initiator of all the planned research. Maybe this is the answer you want?"

Maybe. Bai Tianqing asked again: "According to what you said, you are actually sacrificing for humanity. This is also your mission goal. You were imprisoned here on your own initiative. So why do you want to come out now?"

"Ah, who said I was proactive?"

The other party seemed to smile.

"You know what? When you lose your human identity, many emotions that are only human will disappear."

"My mission is to devour a large amount of strange power to achieve the purpose of purification, just like what you are doing now. But you should have discovered that you can not only devour strange power, but also living people and even any objects. So, what will this cause? They will be happy about your birth, but they will also be afraid of you, so they will put shackles on you to control you."

As he spoke, he sighed.

“No one wants to be controlled. Whether I am a human or not, as long as I am a life, an independent individual, I don’t want to be controlled by others.”

"If you let me out, I can help you. Don't worry. As the same kind and the only existence that can devour each other, it's best for us to keep out of each other's way. I don't want to both suffer losses with you. That will not do any good for us. If I come out, I can help you devour and fight, and we can cooperate."

That sounds good.

Bai Tianqing didn't have much emotional fluctuations.

"You can control your body now too?" She just got the point.

This man had to be trapped here because of the loss of control of his power. Now he wants to come out and says such words. This can only be controlled by him.

"Yeah, although it's not complete control, it's much better. Didn't you see that I can control those houses?"

That’s not a form of control.

"I've also seen moving houses in the mental hospital. You can't be the one controlling it."

"Of course I can't do this. I can't control ordinary houses. The materials of these houses are special. You have seen the wall, right? The wall was born from the High Wall Project and was the first existence to be born. It is also a life form, and it was transformed by humans. Some of the materials are used to study other things, such as the houses here. In essence, these houses are life forms. It is not surprising that they will evolve into anything over the long years. It's just that I swallowed these life forms and replaced them at the same time."

I have to say that Bai Tianqing really gained a lot today, in many ways.

"So the question goes back to the beginning. Who is that person underground? What does your being trapped here have to do with that person underground?"
