522 The Curse of Memes
So the problem turned to the breakthrough of the bottleneck of cultivation, and there should be a new level above A-level practitioners.
Ancient people speculated that there should be some special energy in the universe, but it was not discovered. If this energy is found and utilized by them, then their cultivation bottleneck can be broken.
There are many holders of this view. Under the greed desire of people's hearts for immortality, countless powerful people support it openly and secretly. However, as a large amount of human and material investment has not achieved any results, people began to calm down, and more and more doubters and opponents, and in the end only a small number of people persisted.
In addition to their almost faith-like persistence in this theory, this small number of people was secretly supported by top-level people, so they began to explore and search in the universe frantically.
In the end, the emergence of a mysterious wormhole made the ancients crazy because they really discovered this special energy that only exists in theory, that is, the energy of heaven and earth that is ubiquitous in the Endless Continent. They called the original energy and could only be perceived by mental power.
These are all described in ancient languages. Yan Chong can translate them into original energy in a well-known language, or into elements of heaven and earth, spiritual energy, and spiritual power.
A trend similar to the "gold rush" broke out in ancient people's society. Major forces began to send people to explore the mysterious wormhole, but the original energy was very special and could not be preserved or carried out in any way, so they continued to explore deep into the wormhole and studied the original energy in it.
At least, one thing is certain that original energy has a nourishing effect on the human body. Although this nourishment does not increase significantly for practitioners, it eventually opens up a new path of cultivation for people.
If this continues, one day magic will appear, and some ancient people will break through legends, then practice all the way, and finally break through myths and achieve the ultimate goal of eternal life.
But ancient people did not get enough time to develop. They did not understand why there is no original energy in the universe, only in that mysterious wormhole, and it cannot be transferred out.
This is the key to the problem. Obviously, this is not a gold mine that has not been discovered, but a master.
This principle was gradually understood by people after the mass extinction of ancient people. At that time, most people were hot-headed and automatically ignored this problem. Occasionally, a few people with clear minds once asked similar questions, which were all drowned in the crowd.
As the exploration continued to deepen, ancient people became closer and closer to the truth, and eventually came into contact with the existence of taboos.
What is the existence of taboos? This is not measured by destructive power, but the indescribable ominousness and horror that cannot be mentioned. The real taboos are the ones.
Ever since the return of the mentally ill-stated A-level practitioner and incoherently speaking what people don’t understand, the ancient government has taken great importance to it.
Because A-level cultivators are already the end of the ancient cultivation system, there are not many things that can make cultivators of this level crazy. This is not the main reason. The most important thing is that through the detection, the strength of this A-level cultivator has been greatly improved, and some attributes of the body have broken through the limits of A-level cultivators.
All kinds of top instruments cannot analyze the reasons for his physical changes, which made the senior officials of ancient people crazy, thinking that there must be a real secret of the original energy in his body.
But it is a pity that this A-level cultivator died soon. He was in his prime and had hundreds of years of life. He had no physical problems, but he went crazy first, and then died suddenly not long after.
His body was secretly preserved, and some top forces united to study it for hundreds of years.
After this A-level cultivator, some people had such symptoms. Ancient people still could not analyze the reasons for them and the secrets in them. They gradually calmed down and began to realize something was wrong.
However, this feeling of something wrong is completely the intuition of professionals and cannot be explained by science, so the exploration of mysterious wormholes and the research on the bodies of these crazy and dead practitioners are still underway.
Hundreds of years later, the mass extinction broke out, and all information about the mysterious wormhole was completely blocked. A large number of ancient people died suddenly after going crazy, and the population dropped sharply. No one could find out the cause.
Some people once thought it was a virus that could affect the brain, but it was never possible to find it.
Some people think it is the influence of the mysterious wormhole, because the symptoms of those sick ancient people are very similar to the first A-level cultivator who died crazy after coming out of the mysterious wormhole.
Some people think it is a curse, but curse is a superstition in ancient civilizations and has no theoretical support at all.
When Yan Chong saw this, he naturally understood what it was, and went crazy and died suddenly. This symptom was undoubtedly the consequence of the legendary professions looking directly at the gods.
Like the endless continent, the Earth universe has gods!
A large amount of knowledge that goes against the three views and common sense, and is too profound, will definitely go crazy if you don’t have enough strength, and your lifespan will drop sharply. As for why those who go crazy are A-level practitioners, because those below A-level practitioners are dead.
Secondly, the curse is real, and it is a meme curse, which is 100% certain, because Yan Chong's status bar has an additional curse state.
Status: Health/Extinction Curse (Duration: 29 days, 23 minutes, 45 seconds)
This made Yan Chong feel creepy because the contagiousness of this curse was too brainless, and even he was caught silently.
Yan Chong was not sure about the specific infection conditions, but it was definitely inseparable from the files he had browsed just now. He had not watched the video files directly before. He thought that plain text was very safe, but he didn't expect that he could not guard against it.
But fortunately, this curse of extinction seems to have been weakened a lot. At least the symptoms of madness and sharp lifespan are gone, only one left is - a fertility rate reduced by 83.53%, and this can still be inherited. With his current state, if he is lucky and has a grandson, then his grandson's fertility is normal (1-83.53%)^3 - 4/1000!
Of course, the inherited curse effect will also decay from generation to generation, but the effects of the previous generations are still very obvious.
So, this is why ancient people hid this S-class secret.
Maybe they were not as sure as Yan Chong, but they must have noticed the ominousness of this top-secret information.
After Yan Chong read these text materials, he opened the video and watched it again, confirming his previous conjecture.
