Chapter 701: Stone Age, The Promised Neverland!

This situation was terrifying, like a headless creature with a bright red pitaya growing on its head.

It felt as if it was ripe for the picking, ready to be sampled.

Is your pitaya fragrant, sweet, and vibrantly red?

The thought of this, and the image it conjured, rendered everyone completely silent.

"It reminds me of... The Promised Neverland."

"Yes, it's like a dark fairy tale. A dreamily beautiful lava island, but lurking behind it is a sinister darkness."

"Ahhh! I'm going crazy! What does this mean? It's terrifying to dwell on! Oh my god! What exactly are the Three Pillar Gods doing? What horrifying super-conspiracy are they secretly brewing?"

"I don't know!"

"No, it can't be, right? It must just be a coincidence?"

"Anyway, I'm covered in goosebumps. I'm so glad I don't live in a terrifying world like that!"

"I'm so scared I've undergone mitosis!"

"I'm so scared I've undergone plasmolysis!"

"I'm so scared my cell nucleus has turned into a demon core!"

"Oh mama, it's truly wonderful to just be an ordinary high school student on Earth!"

Many people online expressed feeling completely overwhelmed, finding the implications too terrifying to ponder deeply.

The game "Spore Evolution" once again shattered their worldview.

Even more people's expressions changed, becoming extremely strange. They increasingly realized this was no simple game, as the schemes of the various ancient deities within it were too astonishing, unfolding as if they were real, calculated events.

At the same time, if they weren't mistaken, this would be the most terrifying event to occur, not just on the entire lava continent, but in the entire "Spore Evolution" game since its launch!

Moe Girl: "Of course, this is just a guess. The reason we discovered this is that the Three Pillar Gods have always strictly forbidden human experimentation, prohibited creatures from dissecting their own brains, and desecrating the forbidden zones of the human body. Any arcanist who ventured into these areas was to be executed."

"Previously, many arcanists on the lava continent believed this was to prevent a repeat of the Ishdar people's path, which led to self-destruction through researching forbidden human body zones. It was also thought to prevent humans from researching the Pillar Gods' virus... But clearly, after the Dream God's invasion and subsequent research into brain demon cores, it's become much more than that!"

Screenshots appeared.Screenshots appeared.A series of even more detailed screenshots appeared before their eyes.

"The Dream God's research found that the human brain is not so simple. It's not just the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus you just mentioned... There are even more detailed divisions. Inside their brains, structures similar to mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and so on, float freely like seaweed."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exploded in shock!

Inside your brain, structures resembling a single cell, complete with mitochondria, Golgi apparatus...

They felt only endless terror. Darkness and silence seemed to crash over them like giant waves in the night, chilling their hearts.

Moe Girl continued: "Of course, this is the result of the continuous evolution and iteration of demon core creatures!

As you all know, from the prehistoric diminutive humans, they evolved into the current three-meter tall giant humans. Their body shapes continuously evolved, with subtle differences appearing in limbs and organs... At the same time, the biological brains of the Three Pillar Gods vary. For example, the demon core plants of the Plant-type Pillar God have chloroplast-like structures in their special brains."

Everyone fell completely silent.

It was as if they were witnessing an earth-shattering game unfolding, its curtain just slowly beginning to open.

Moe Girl continued: "But specifically, we can only see an outline, still hidden within a colossal black entity. We have lost contact with the people inside. The only one we can still contact is you, Balloon Fish. So, leave the sealed glass enclosure and see what the situation is like outside."

Upon seeing this, Balloon Fish also felt completely numb.

This current situation made him realize just how terrifying it truly was.

He took a deep breath. "Don't worry," he said, "I'll immediately prepare my protective suit and all my equipment, then I'll leave the isolation room to see what's happening outside."

All the netizens expressed,

"Don't worry, we're supporting you all the way!"

Click.

Balloon Fish calmly put on the specialized protective suit, fastening every button and zipper.

"I still have to go out."

Although the protective suit could resist viruses, its safety level was far inferior to staying hidden within the manufactured glass enclosure. Any damage to the suit meant he would be infected by the Pillar God virus, and the viruses were becoming increasingly terrifying.

It was important to note that his protective suit could withstand attacks from many powerful beings, but powerhouses at the Heavenly Emperor level, or even higher, could still easily penetrate it.

That's why he dared not venture out easily.

Thump, thump, thump!

He put on the white protective suit, donned various equipment, and stepped out of the long-enclosed glass sphere.

He then discovered something utterly bizarre.

All the viruses outside the glass enclosure, all the viruses in the world, had miraculously vanished. "What happened to this world?" he wondered.

"Where are the viruses?"

"Where did the viruses go?"

"No, where have the creatures gone! All living beings in the world, and even the viruses, have vanished, as if this is an eternal deadland, devoid of life."

Creak!

Wearing the heavy, cumbersome, and bulky protective suit, like an astronaut, he slowly pushed open the research institute's heavy metal door, staring incredulously out the window, filled with bewildered fear.

"This is...!!"

In an instant, he saw the current state of the entire lava continent.

Everything had vanished...

No wonder Du Xue had also disappeared...

It was an extremely bizarre sight.

On the ground, plants seemed to have had their "brains" scooped out. Various animals roamed the land, maintaining statue-like postures, headless and in various poses. It was as if ancient dinosaurs had instantaneously experienced a comet impact; before they could react or run, they were instantly buried by the dust of time.

Their cellular structures had solidified.

They seemed to have turned into hard fossils, stone sculptures.

"A world of stone?"

This was the overwhelming sensation: a heavy sense of bewildered loss.

"What exactly happened to this world? All living beings have turned into stone sculptures and lost their heads."

Screenshots were sent out.Screenshots were sent out, appearing before Moe Girl and the Alchemy Emperor in the neighboring Six Realms.

A group of deities stared at these images, their expressions grim.

"As expected of Earth Mother Green Vine, unfathomable... Even if we lose contact, she still has mysterious ways to obtain information about that world."

"What has happened to that world now?"

"Unimaginable!"

"All have lost their heads!?"

A group of deities looked at the images, feeling an unknown dread, as if all the blood in their bodies had frozen.

"Go inform the Holy Sakura Emperor, who is currently in Mount Shu," the Alchemy Emperor suddenly said.

Those around him nodded in agreement.

Moe Girl and the Alchemy Emperor exchanged glances, nodded, and secretly contacted Balloon Fish.

"Go! Go find the legendary Messiah Monarch Emperor! He might know something; he is the savior of the entire world, of all Six Realms!"

Balloon Fish was stunned.

"Messiah," in ancient wizardry and in ancient times, meant "savior," signifying an ancient god reborn, descending from the heavens to save the mortals of the earth.

"But other Dream Gods and similar beings have all vanished," Balloon Fish couldn't help but say, "and the Messiah Emperor is only at the Heavenly Emperor realm..."

"There's no other choice."

Moe Girl took a deep breath. "In a world that has completely lost its vitality, what else can you do?" she said. "You can only place your last hope on the slimmest chance."

Click.

Wearing his protective suit, Balloon Fish stared blankly at the entire land. "Is this another new era?" he mused.

"In the last era, we could only flee. But today, I, and Du Xue's fate, still rests with me..."

"Eras always repeat themselves."

Xia Naiming's expression became solemn as never before. He raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. "Messiah Emperor..."

He walked through the city.

He didn't know what exactly had happened, what the Three Pillar Gods were doing, or where those people had gone. He only knew one thing:

The world was about to undergo another transformation!
