Chapter 724 Mana, World Tree, Mana, Humans [Requesting Monthly Tickets and Recommendations]
The Lord of Light and Shadow's faction advocates for sustainable development, believing that all low-dimensional planetary civilizations should not be wiped out at once.
We must know how to cultivate life, otherwise, once the life essence is exhausted, it will take hundreds of millions of years to sow the seeds of life and regenerate life civilization.
However, the Mana Primal faction advocates for a complete rejection, arguing against giving lower-dimensional civilizations a chance to breathe and develop.
Otherwise, once the low-dimensional civilization, filled with hatred, recovers and develops, it will experience a technological explosion and launch a counterattack against the high-dimensional civilization.
By then, it will be too late to regret it.
They would rather be less efficient and spend hundreds of millions of years rebuilding their civilization than risk letting a lower-dimensional civilization develop and take revenge.
The contradiction between their theories led to differences in their behavior on Earth.
The Mana ecosystem, dominated by the initial Mana entity, is driven to extinction.
The Lord of Light and Shadow granted humanity a glimmer of hope, signing a pact with Charles to preserve humanity's lifeline at a critical moment.
In return, the faith in the Lord of Light and Shadow must be developed, human thoughts controlled, and life essence slowly harvested.
Those old men who traveled far away and were left behind by the lighthouse are proof of this.
Their life essence was harvested by the Devouring Beasts, and this continuous supply fed the Mana Ecosystem for decades, fattening it up considerably.
Whether it's the Lord of Light and Shadow or the Primordial Mana, the core interests of both factions remain the same: to harvest the life essence of humanity.
None of them are good.
Chen Hong also discovered that the Mana civilization, where the Lord of Light and Shadow resides, lives in a higher-dimensional world called the "Mana Plane".
The higher-dimensional beings there have abandoned their physical bodies, which they call shells.
They exist as the source of life, being both energy and information, a dual existence of energy and information.
If I had to put it in a way, it's somewhat like a soul or a ghost cultivator.
However, their civilization is advanced and has been upgraded to a higher-dimensional civilization, where everyone is a higher-dimensional being with the ability to control dimensions.
For lower-dimensional beings, any one of their abilities is a devastating blow.
Just as Chen Hong was about to delve deeper into more information and obtain the dimensional coordinates of the Mana plane,
The Lord of Light and Shadow resisted fiercely and finally broke free from Chen Hong's soul search.
Without the slightest hesitation.
The Lord of Light and Shadow decisively chose to annihilate himself, obliterating the consciousness and all information of this projection.
They did not allow Chen Hong to obtain any information, especially the most crucial coordinates of the Mana plane.
Once Chen Hong obtains the coordinates, their Mana civilization will become restless.
Despite the brief exchange, the Lord of Light and Shadow had already realized how terrifying Chen Hong was.
Without giving Chen Hong any chance, he decisively ended his own life and perished.
Anyway, it's just a projection clone; at most, it will lose some mental consciousness.
As long as his higher-dimensional self remains unharmed, he can afford this loss.
"Humph!"
"That's decisive!"
Chen Hong was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
Without coordinates, in the vast and boundless universe, in the endless and infinite dimensions of spacetime, it would be really difficult for him to find the location of the Mana plane.
Using exhaustive search, scanning the area repeatedly with one's divine sense, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Chen Hong didn't want to do such a futile effort.
However, Chen Hong was not in a hurry. Since the Mana civilization had clashed with him and formed a karmic bond, they could not escape it.
Wait until they make their move, or until I have some free time, then I'll go and get my revenge on them.
The most important thing right now is the Earth's mana ecosystem. Chen Hong is wary of things handled by others; who knows what backdoors or contingency plans might be left behind.
He glanced at Charles, whose faith had crumbled, who was distraught, and whose eyes were filled with hatred.
Chen Hong killed him with a single palm strike, annihilating his life essence and rendering him utterly dead.
He glanced at the old man, Lord Morgan, from afar, and then released a wisp of life essence.
This wisp of life essence, hidden within Morgan's body, will slowly damage his bodily functions and pollute his life essence.
He'll be riddled with illnesses, and will soon suffer from Alzheimer's disease and die.
When a person dies, their life essence dissipates into the air, essentially causing their soul to scatter and making it difficult for them to gather, recover, and be reborn.
Completely eradicate the problem at its root, leaving no hidden dangers.
Anyway, neither the father nor the son is a good person.
His hands are stained with the blood of countless people from the Lighthouse, he has suppressed countless rebellions, and he has orchestrated countless conspiracies.
It's not a pity to die!
Chen Hong stepped out of the lighthouse and headed towards the whirlpool of blood.
We might as well refine the Mana Flower King and extract all the life essence from the entire ecosystem.
It devoured all the Devouring Beasts and Mana creatures in the world.
All the enormous mana sea monsters from the deep ocean were refined into massive amounts of life essence!
It unravels all the mysteries of the mana ecosystem.
Create a new mana ecosystem!
This way, there's no need to worry about the Mana civilization having any backup plans or preparing to ambush us.
This is called "cutting off the fuel supply from under the cauldron"!
No matter what your plans are, we'll start over from scratch. I don't believe you can still cause trouble.
Chen Hong directly created the [Mana World Tree], incorporating a large number of mysteries and systems from other worlds, diluting the proportion of Mana ecological information while retaining the excellent capabilities of the Mana ecosystem.
The roots of the Mana World Tree penetrate directly into the Earth's crust and mantle, running through the entire planet!
By growing mantle vines, they spread all over the world, weaving a network of underground tree roots.
Manna flowers sprout from the tree roots and mantle vines, forming a vast ecological network.
The spores of the mana flower spread across the earth, giving rise to countless mana plants and forming the ecological foundation.
The sporangium of the Mana Flower begins to nurture a brand new Devourer.
These Devouring Beasts were infused with various divine beast genes, monster genes, elf genes, slime genes, primordial demon genes, dragon genes, Pokémon genes, Digimon genes, and so on from another world by Chen Hong.
It encompasses various biological templates from land, sea, and air.
It can be described as the ultimate enhanced version of the Devouring Beast.
There are even cosmic behemoths and interstellar creatures adapted to the cosmos.
Finally, there are the [Mana Humans], who combine the strengths of humans from all walks of life. Their intelligence, physique, strength, speed, defense, and perception are all maxed out in all six dimensions.
Moreover, Chen Hong deliberately set the lifespan to a mere 800 years, a short lifespan, which enhanced the reproductive ability.
It helps civilization to iterate and upgrade rapidly, without being too short-lived to inherit the knowledge of predecessors, and allows innovation to be built on the shoulders of giants.
After death, the essence of life returns to the Mana World Tree, where one can exist as a Holy Spirit in the Hall of Heroes at the top of the World Tree, overlooking the human world and continuing to study and learn.
Alternatively, one can choose to be reincarnated, live a second life, and give it another shot.
To this end, Chen Hong specially created the Netherworld. Life essence can travel down the roots of the World Tree, cross dimensions and spacetime, and arrive at the Netherworld to await reincarnation.
The new Mana humans are physically strong; adults can traverse the stars in their physical form, shatter meteorites with a single punch, and are virtually immune to illness.
Furthermore, one can learn the Source Potential System, tap into the power of life's source essence, and develop unique skills.
More importantly, they have extremely high IQs, with an average IQ of 5000 and none below 1000.
Those with an IQ below 200, like Einstein, are considered intellectually disabled due to congenital developmental delays among the Mana humans. (End of Chapter)
