Chapter 624 Sorting Out

Chapter 624: Sorting Things Out

As Wu Hang put it...

When a new civilization is born into this world, the world will belong to the new race, to that new land, lush with trees and blooming with flowers.

Whether it's the crimson moon or the seas of blood everywhere, whether it's the remnants of the previous civilization or the bloodthirsty Eerie Entities, they'll all hide deeper, out of sight of that young civilization.

Even if some living thing actually stumbles across the Eerie Entities, they'll treat 'em like bedtime stories, the kind that scare kids, just like in Su Bai's own world.

The crimson moon never actually brings down a civilization; it's more like this world just isn't built to support long-lasting civilizations.

So when a civilization falls, when the sky and earth come crashing down, the endless night and the dripping crimson moon show up again, the seas of blood surge back, and the crazed alien races and Eerie Entities get set free, bathing under the crimson moon once more.

The world turns into hell, but the collapse stops at the very last second, and the whole land just keeps going in this nightmare state.

That's when the races from the previous civilization suffer the most.

They might have powerful or weird abilities, like the Blood Clan or the Merfolk, but their bodies, never soaked in the crimson moon's light, are fragile. The second they touch the crimson moon, their bodies soak it up like a sponge, and in no time, their once-normal bodies get flooded with the crimson moon's energy.

This power can make their bodies and abilities way stronger, but out of all the remnants, only a handful can handle it...

Most of the remnants lose it and go crazy under the influence of this power.

They're called remnants.

They survived, sure.

But they can't even tell what life or death is anymore, the happy memories of the past are wiped from their minds, and their minds get eaten away at a terrifying speed.

A few powerful remnants still hang on to a shred of sanity, but that life, teetering between sane and crazy, is worse than death.

The crimson moon's existence keeps this world going, but for the remnants and the human players dragged into this world, it's a total nightmare.

Maybe that's why Su Xuan, with his strong bloodline and a shred of sanity left, chose to ditch the Merfolk body and become an Eerie Entity.

The reason the Red Moon Association goes all out to find a fixed point that can merge with the crimson moon is that they think if the crimson moon becomes a fixed point in time, it can last forever, always under the crimson moon's protection.

Not just to survive, but to preserve the immense power they possess.

But the Opposition seems to have a different opinion.

In his previous life, Su Bai had never heard of the "Opposition's" existence. Su Xuan had just said that Wu Hang had always maintained a neutral stance.

But in this life, something has changed, and Su Bai has gradually become aware of the existence of these "people."

"Most of them don't have such fervent feelings for the crimson moon," Wu Hang said, seeming to know more about the Opposition. "They don't really care whether the crimson moon falls or not. At worst, they'll find a way to leave this world, even if it means going to a world without any power at all."

"Besides, making the crimson moon a fixed point is definitely not a good thing."

Wu Hang turned to look at Su Bai beside him.

"Once it becomes a fixed point, the crimson moon will still gradually move towards its fall. There will be no new civilization in this world, the cracks in this world will completely shatter, and the entire world will be utterly destroyed."

"But after the world is destroyed, time will loop back to a certain fixed point, back to a time before the crimson moon fell, and then... the process of the world's destruction will repeat itself."

"The biggest difference between the Opposition and the Red Moon Association is that they still have brains. Constantly destroying the world and constantly looping time back is definitely not a good thing. The Red Moon Association is just deceiving itself."

"If the time overlap caused by the fixed point happens once or twice, it's fine. But if it repeats indefinitely..." Wu Hang frowned. "Even the Eerie Entities might go mad and lose control. In the worst-case scenario, the repeated folding might cause some terrible changes in that crimson moon itself."

"Rather than that, it's better to let the crimson moon and this not-so-great world be destroyed altogether."

Wu Hang said this very firmly.

Su Bai sorted through and digested the information he had gleaned from Wu Hang's words. Especially when he heard "time loop," his heart tightened involuntarily.

"Speaking of which, because the Red Moon Association's power has grown so excessively, the Opposition still doesn't have a meeting place," Wu Hang said, looking around and changing the subject. "I think this place is pretty good. It just needs further renovation."

"This place?" Su Xuan glanced at the "Rainbow Locust City" he had built.

This was his memory, his beautiful dream, the safe haven he had built for himself and his brother.

How...

was it going to become the Opposition's base?
