Chapter 271: 137: Differential Imitation_2
Zhou Baiyu suddenly clarified a relationship.
"Could it be... when a world is thoroughly corrupted, it will spread to the next world, initiating a new battle?"
Doctor A clapped and said:
"Congratulations, you're correct. The stories of the great pioneers from that era have all ended. A few individuals, after the twilight of the gods, became middlemen, remnants of that age."
"Now, corruption has spread to the Advanced World, and it's about to—figuratively speaking—completely take over. In a sense, the regions controlled by the old gods—Longxia—are still hanging on by a thread. What you're facing is the overwhelming tide of corruption."
"If the 2.50 version is the complete fall of humanity, then the '1.01' version of your world, the Third World, has arrived."
"However, up to this point, I have not found the existence of a Fourth World. We can refer to the three worlds as—Reality, the highest current version, 1.0; with the corruption rate too low to consider."
"Advanced World, the highest current version, 2.49; with the corruption rate upwards of ninety percent, but not a full hundred percent."
"And Origin World, the highest current version, 0.99; with absolute corruption, total corruption."
Doctor A's view was outrageous, but upon closer reflection, it made sense to Zhou Baiyu.
Indeed, Divine Endowment Night, gods battling each other, Twilight of the Gods...
These significant events seemed to have occurred a long time ago, but they left no trace in the Advanced World.
It seemed the demon race knew of some divine presences, but where did the demon race originate from?
The great pioneers fought for this world, and the great pioneer Kuang Xun was even frustrated by the pioneers' inability to collect comprehensive information.
Yet, the history of the great pioneers protecting the world could only be found in the transfer station...
The timeline of the Advanced World simply couldn't fit the active history of the great pioneers.
So the answer is—
The world guarded by the great pioneers has completely decayed.
Following the Twilight of the Gods, the battlefield of the rules shifted to a new battleground.
And if humanity fails at 2.50, the final battlefield will be Reality itself!
Zhou Baiyu broke out in a cold sweat.
When lips die, teeth will be cold. Defending the Advanced World, to carve out a future for humanity, took on even greater significance.
"You have completed the recruitment and obtained a chance to choose for yourself, but I suggest... treat it as something normal, what people fear the most is reaching beyond their grasp."
"I may want to witness the Twilight of the Gods with my own eyes, but that's me, you are different. Jiang Xianwu, if I were you, I would choose a version between 1.01 and 2.49. However, you will need to consult another middleman for that. Now, we should talk about the next question—what do you need to buy?"
Doctor A's answer was version 0.99.
A version that is highly likely to be related to the Twilight of the Gods.
Zhou Baiyu said:
"I need to go to Lin's place now, and as for shopping, I currently have no need to spend."
Doctor A shrugged, not insisting further.
Zhou Baiyu still had some fondness for the mysterious Doctor A.
Clearly, each of the middlemen had their own schemes. What exactly Doctor A was plotting, he didn't know.
But he could feel that, for the time being, the other party was still someone on the same side as him.
The answers given might not always be useful, yet they revealed sufficient information.
Zhou Baiyu felt that his journey had not been in vain, as he now possessed a clearer understanding of the whole catastrophic sequence.
That was enough.
...
...
The transfer station.
The suggestive ambiance of pink lighting persisted as Lin mixed drinks, leisurely saying:
"Welcome back, little brother."
Zhou Baiyu's affection for this elder sister was much greater than for A.
"Lin, you should know about my clearance reward, right?"
Though middlemen were unaware of the clearance process, they were undoubtedly informed about the performance evaluations and rewards of their pioneer subordinates.
After all, that was part of a middleman's duties.
Lin nodded and said:
"An opportunity to choose your version is very precious. You have asked the same question before, if someone could choose their version. Indeed, there have been such instances."
"But that was only within a small range of versions; what's different for you is that you have the chance to make a choice from a wider range. "
"So, to maximize the value of this option, you'll have to find a way to understand history."
"Of course, I first need to congratulate you, little brother, on becoming a legendary pioneer and stepping into the third rank."
Mutator, different walker, Mutated Demon, Mutated Demon Master, Lord of Divine Abnormality, Chaotic Order.
The third-rank Mutator, had a rather unflattering name, Mutated Demon.
Upon reaching the third rank, most other professions underwent a qualitative change. But for Mutators? They remained the same.
"However, for us Mutators, the meaning of a third-rank profession is just a measure; it signifies that you have started your journey into the fourth rank."
"Your initial differentiation rate has decreased, the likelihood of positive outcomes after each mutation will increase. Also, you'll have a few more chances to mutate. Your physical condition will be somewhat better, but only by a little and still incomparable to combat professions, even those at rank one. "
"Besides that, there's nothing else. Essentially, for future battles, you still need to rely on luck, items, and teammates."
"Right now, everyone is talking about you. "
Inside the Transfer Station, the Voice of the Pioneers.
Everyone was discussing Jiang Xianwu. His speed in becoming a legendary pioneer was astonishingly fast.
Pioneers were essentially one faction.
Since Jiang Xianwu's return from successfully navigating Gu Lou and saving the Snow Demon, the various discussions surrounding him at the outset had shifted to unanimous praise.
