Apocalypse: Starting with an infinitely evolving luxury RV

Chapter 1138 I believe you

"Actually, the reason I came to Dao Yi Sect this time is to obtain some information from the sect leader."

Su Chen explained his purpose.

"Just tell me, as long as it's not particularly sensitive information, I'll tell you."

Bai Henian smiled slightly.

"Is such that……"

Su Chen recounted in detail all the clues he had collected since the apocalypse.

At first, he realized that this apocalypse was orchestrated by someone, or that he was exploring a secret realm.

After slaying various monsters, he discovered the existence of rune crystals in the vampire bat's cave.

The rune crystals lay quietly on the stone pillar, much like the rewards for defeating a boss in an online game.

Since then, Su Chen has had some doubts.

Later, when dealing with the little green-eyed zombie, before killing it, he roared angrily.

"Let them know that you are not worthy of being my stepping stone!"

This made Su Chen even more certain of his guess.

Later, during the second expedition to the secret realm, the Silver Guardians reappeared.

As the referee of the chess game, it directs Su Chen and his opponent in their match.

Su Chen asked about its origin, but it just smiled and remained silent.

There was also the dragon Su Chen encountered when he entered the world of Atlantis.

Even on its deathbed, it shouted,

"I'm not convinced... Why were you chosen instead of me!"

He even told Bai Henian about Su Chen's encounter with the Azure Dragon in the Purple Mountain Secret Realm, their fierce battle, and how the Azure Dragon gave him the flying sword, "Quest for the Way."

After listening to Su Chen's explanation, Bai Henian and Yan Zheng's expressions became even more surprised.

They never expected that Su Chen would have such a wonderful and legendary experience.

No wonder he has grown to such a terrifying level!

Bai Henian exhaled a long breath, his expression turning somewhat solemn.

"In fact, the reasons for the end times have been discussed within the Dao Yi Sect as well."

"Many people share your view that this apocalypse is man-made."

"It can only reverse the climate of the entire Blue Star, create zombies and monsters, and revive the spiritual energy of Blue Star..."

"This series of grand projects is something that even the entire Dao Yi Sect combined could not accomplish, let alone me."

"So our conclusion is that either this apocalypse was an accident, or the mastermind behind it is someone we can't even imagine!"

Unexpectedly, the Dao Yi Sect also noticed the clues.

Su Chen paused for a moment, then slowly said,

"I think there's still a mastermind behind this; this apocalypse is unlikely to be an accident."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Su Chen, have you heard of the Gaia hypothesis?"

The gist of the Gaia hypothesis is that Earth may not have consciousness, but it can act like a living organism, actively regulating environmental factors such as climate and atmospheric composition to ensure the survival of life.

Su Chen had naturally heard of it and nodded.

"Brother Zheng actually knows about this too?"

"Hehe, a cultivator's lifespan is extremely long. Besides cultivation, I will also look for areas that interest me to study."

Yan Zheng continued with a smile,

"If the Gaia hypothesis is true, then the arrival of this apocalypse is not surprising at all."

"Who has caused such severe damage to the Earth?"

A thoughtful expression appeared on Su Chen's face.

When a person gets sick, the body's immune system activates a series of complex defense mechanisms to fight against invading pathogens.

The same is true.

Human beings' rampant destruction of the Earth's environment has seriously affected the ecological balance.

They are like pathogens invading the Earth, naturally causing the Earth to activate its defense mechanisms.

Seeing Su Chen deep in thought, Yan Zheng smiled.

"Of course, this is just my guess."

Su Chen snapped out of his reverie and chuckled softly.

"Although there is no substantial evidence, it can still be considered one explanation."

"However, in the first few years after the apocalypse, why didn't the Dao Yi Sect step forward to save the world, but instead only entrusted the task to the Vermilion Bird Sect?"

Before coming to Dao Yi Sect, Su Chen had this question in his mind.

The strength of Dao Yi Sect far surpasses that of Zhu Que.

If Dao Yi Sect had chosen to act immediately when the apocalypse had just begun.

While we can't change the climate, we can save more lives!

Bai Henian sighed, without giving a direct answer.

"Su Chen, you must have read quite a few online novels, right?"

"Yes."

"So you also know about the existence of Heavenly Tribulation, right?"

"heard about it."

"We are not taking action because of the heavenly tribulation."

In online novels, heavenly tribulations only occur during the process of undergoing tribulation.

You're only at the Golden Core stage, so why are you worried about heavenly tribulations?

I don't believe you for a second! You're a really bad old man!

Su Chen silently complained to himself.

Bai Henian seemed to see through his thoughts, and continued to explain with a wry smile:

"The total amount of energy, or spiritual energy, between heaven and earth is finite."

"Whether it is humans, animals, or plants, they can all enjoy these spiritual energies equally."

“But cultivators are different—we can absorb and even plunder spiritual energy at a speed far beyond what is normal.”

"Ordinary living beings have a limited lifespan. After death, their spiritual energy returns to heaven and earth, endlessly cycling."

"But those who cultivate immortality live extremely long lives."

“Like Yan Zheng, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one can live for at least five hundred years.”

"Once I enter the Golden Core stage, it wouldn't be difficult for me to live for another thousand years if I don't encounter any major tribulations."

"If it is supplemented with methods such as slumber and sealing, its lifespan will be immeasurable."

"This actually violates the natural law of birth and death of heaven and earth."

"Therefore, it is often said that the path of cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens."

Listening to Bai Henian's words, Su Chen gradually fell into deep thought.

This statement is indeed not without merit.

Ordinary living beings have limited capacity to absorb and exhale spiritual energy; through the cycle of life and death, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can circulate and maintain balance.

Cultivators can seize the creation of heaven and earth to extend their own lifespan. If there are too many of them, wouldn't the spiritual energy in heaven and earth be gradually drained over time?

"The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more their every move will cause the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge."

"Therefore, many profound people often avoid the world, for fear of getting involved in karma and being 'targeted' by the laws of heaven and earth."

"As I just told you, as time goes by, the spiritual energy in the world becomes increasingly thin."

Do you know why?

Bai Henian asked.

"I don't know."

Su Chen said honestly.

"According to the ancient records within the Dao Yi Sect, in ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant and there were many cultivators."

"But it seems that overnight, the spiritual energy dried up, and many highly skilled cultivators perished one after another."

"According to the speculations of the elders of the Daoist sect, it was probably because those cultivators were too active that they ultimately caused the heavenly calamity!"

"The heavenly tribulation caused the depletion of spiritual energy, leading to the deaths of cultivators!"
