Chapter 149: The Secret of "Immortality"

The application technology of souls originally came from the experiment of immortality in the mythical age, and the old man did a lot of wrong things for this.

But in the end, humans in the old era suddenly woke up because they found that even gods could not resist the extinction of time.

Eternal life is a false proposition.

But the immortality experiment still researched a series of less humane experimental results.

This includes human soul parasitic technology...Clone soul grafting experiment...

But unfortunately, when they realized this, the three days of darkness in the mythological age had already arrived, so the old man who fled to the Utopian Ark also happened to carry this technology onto the Boat of Hope.

By chance, it also came in handy in the disasters in the future.

In the mythical age, humans discovered that the soul is real and is also the only source that gives life.

Just as the Old Testament says, the soul comes from the Garden of Eden created by the gods, and the fruits produced on the only tree of the world.

When the fruit matures and falls on the ground, it will turn into a seedling of the soul and come to the world, bringing new hope for human reproduction and inheritance.

When the soul experiences reincarnation in the world, the decaying body will untie the constraints on the soul and allow them to return to the Garden of Eden.

Then it is absorbed by the roots of the World Tree again and recurs in this cycle.

When the soul walks in the world, it will experience the tempering of emotions such as seven emotions, six desires, ups and downs, and this is the nourishment of the tree of the world.

The above process constitutes the order of life and death cycle in human society, so this is the order of life and death described in the Old Testament and the cycle of rebirth in the world.

However, when the three days of darkness in the mythological age came, the Utopian Ark left the main world and naturally lost the protection of Eden from them.

After humans die, their souls have nowhere to return and become lonely ghosts floating in the exile.

Apart from dissipating itself in the long river of time, there is no other choice, let alone entering the cycle of rebirth.

It just so happened that the Utopian Ark was penetrated by unknown forces and lost more than 1/5 of its population. The people on the ship prayed all day long, but they did not respond.

Therefore, the aura of despair in the ark became heavier and heavier, and the land of hope had a faint trend like the development of the land of despair.

In just a few days, the surviving humans were unwilling to face this cruel fact. Under the influence of increasingly anxious emotions, several artificial riots occurred in the Utopian Ark.

Under pressure, [Earl] opened his lifeboat and released a large number of humans who hoped to return to the main world. They would rather choose to die than face the vain future.

A small number of followers of the [Earl] who hope to maintain human seeds remained on the ark.

Hopefully, with their own efforts, they can repair the damaged utopia, and they choose to confront despair.

But at this time, most humans had already embarked on a lifeboat, and the Utopian Ark was becoming increasingly lacking. At this moment, the human soul application technology, known as a taboo technique, came into play.

[Earl] has always been a very mysterious place. There was no record of his footprints in the old mythological era, but it was such a mysterious man who became the captain of the Utopian Ark.

At the critical moment, he didn't know what to use to gather the souls of the dead floating in the ark, and at the same time ordered Utopia to activate the blocked soul application technology.

It consumed a lot of stored resources to make undead puppets in batches, and then found a way to seal the soul into it as motivation.

The so-called Immortal Crew Club was created.

"But... since these undead crew members have lived to this day, doesn't that mean they are no different from immortality?"

After hearing Lu'er's description, Snow subconsciously looked at the hunched undead crew members below.

"Captain, do you really think that such existence is immortality? If they still have consciousness, then I believe they will choose to die without hesitation."

This is the failure of the Immortal Experiment.

Such eternal life is actually very painful... although the soul has not suffered any cruel torture.

But as memory with consciousness, they will move forward on the road where the future will never be visible.

I was sealed in a doll without five senses, day after day, doing work that could not see the future.

If you cannot survive or die, who will expect such eternal life?

The eternal loneliness that cannot be seen is the most terrifying thing in this world.

"This is nothing different from the demons created by the Millennium Earl."

Snow murmured to himself in a daze, "It seems that eternal life is also a torture!"

“That’s different, every member of the Immortal Crew will volunteer to go on this path.

What supports them to continue on this road ahead of invisible hope is not painful sadness and torture.

It is called the seed of hope."

Lu'er's tone suddenly became serious.

The Immortal Crew didn't look like this at the beginning. They essentially just replaced a new body for their souls.

Although I lost many feelings, I could still communicate and talk freely, and even the emotions preserved in my soul affected them.

When they become the Immortal Crew Club, they have "hope" in their souls.

They hope to repair this damaged utopia, retrieve the eternal energy of the ark, and allow the few humans who remain on it to continue to reproduce.

Become a seed of a new world.

But day after day, year after year, until they no longer record the time, until the last human on the Utopian Ark died and turned into an undead crew.

The last human seed on the utopian ark disappeared.

Only the souls bound in the dolls are carrying out increasingly meaningless work day after day.

Unlike the demons whose Millennium Earl uses sorrow and pain as the driving force, the Immortal Crew Club supports them with the only glimmer of hope in their souls.

So they will not kill people, nor have the possibility of evolution, let alone give birth to new ideas.

I can only let the long river of time wash away their souls little by little until their feelings and self... are gradually erased.

Slowly, the Immortal crews went from being able to talk freely or even laugh and laughter to becoming tireless and emotionally-free dolls.

Later, they forgot their identity, gave up their memories, and turned their soul into an empty whiteboard.

Only when the last "hope" is retained by them in their souls, can the Immortal crew continue to operate.

Until the day when the Utopian Ark was completely restored, more than 90% of the undead crew fulfilled their last wish.

[Earl] On that day, they restarted their only remaining self, allowing them to see the repaired utopian ark and the completely desolate internal environment.

Although "hope" has been achieved, everyone can no longer support the step to continue.

More than 90% of the Immortal Crew members will choose to self-disintegrate when they finally wake up and free their souls.

But there are still a group of staunch supporters of [Earl] and believers who are unwilling to let mankind fall into this.

They chose to stay in the end, at the cost of their eternal life and being reborn, and forever placed in the doll where the soul cannot be liberated.

This is the busy undead crew members below Snow, and it is also the last group of souls to save humans in the mythical era.

They have no self, no memory, no emotions, abandon the past and the future.

Just working as a machine that can only obey orders.

They are willing to devote themselves to this ark and the future of mankind until their souls can no longer bear the erosion of time and completely dissipate as time passes.

But the Utopian Ark had lost its energy at that time and had almost no possibility of operation.

So [Earl] issued an order to put them into a deep sleep and preserve their souls.

If you are lucky enough to see the future, then wake them up and continue according to the plan you have already formulated.

If there is no hope, let them sleep like this until they die forever in their sleep.

This is the truth about the Utopian Ark, the Immortal Crew.

As for why they had pentagrams that were exactly the same as demons on them, Snow's answer from Luer also surprised him.

Because the pentagram was the symbol of believers in the mythical age. They believed in gods and gained divine power, so as to get the mark given to them by gods.

The black pentagram is not originally created by the Millennium Earl, but a symbol passed down from the mythical age.

In the mythical era, believers walked in time instead of gods. They had firm will and pious beliefs, and exchanged divine power for responses through communication with the pentagram.

In other words, only the true gods and devouts can mark the pentagram on their bodies, otherwise, this kind of thing will become poison.

People who are not believers, using this thing without authorization will cause the power of divine recognition to burn every inch of your body to burn out.

However, after the fall of the gods, no one can tell how much power the marking constraints of this pentagram remain.

However, even so, it can be seen that the Millennium Earl's demon-making technology does come from the Utopian Ark.

It is very likely that it is the copy of the soul application technology that the group of people who escaped onto the lifeboat said.

However, the Millennium Earl may have made some changes with his own strength, leading him to two paths that would be completely opposite to the original Immortal Crew.

"So they are all applications of the soul, does the captain still think that the means of the undead crew are a symbol of evil?

The Immortal Crews have persisted until now, and what they believe in is [Have hope], which is definitely not pain or sorrow.

If they do not have firm beliefs in their hearts, their souls will not be able to nourish the energy that is driven by the doll, and they will not be able to become an immortal crew member."

After hearing Lu'er's words, Snow opened his mouth wide in shock, not knowing what to say at all.

He was shocked to see the undead crew members who were still unmoved and working continuously below.
