Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 433: The Secret of the World
Through the defective container, Xu Shen could feel that these creatures had a very familiar smell and feeling, similar to the strange insects gathered around him. They were not bred by quasi-perfect containers, but secondary creatures bred in defective containers.
But these creatures have the characteristics of ruins and shells, are extremely ferocious, and seem to act entirely on instinct, crawling towards the shore.
Xu Shen ignored these things that landed. These things were impossible to kill. The End Sea was filled with black creatures. There should be some defective container shells in it, which turned into breeding grounds and continuously bred these monsters.
To deal with these monsters, the defective containers must be fished out.
Xu Shen came to the edge of the End Sea, where the world and the End Sea met, and the collapse continued slowly.
The things that crawled out of the End Sea didn't dare to get close to Xu Shen, as if they were afraid of something and took a detour.
Xu Shen stepped into the End Sea, and Hei Xue's black hair extended out. With the power amplification released through the defective container, Hei Xue's hair could extend hundreds of miles away and be salvaged in the pitch-black End Sea.
Soon, following the root of the monster's crawling, Xu Shen found a broken and defective container.
This defective container has rotted and broken, the inside has been hollowed out, and the core flesh and blood have disappeared, but follicles are bulging inside the huge piece of meat. When the follicles burst, hideous monsters crawl out from inside.
Xu Shen picked up the defective container, turned around and threw it towards the shore.
Then he looked elsewhere, and all he could see was the boiling sea with countless monsters crawling inside.
On a more optimistic note, these monsters will cannibalize each other.
It seems that the monsters bred from different defective containers will devour each other, causing them to dissolve into each other, which is why their numbers do not expand horribly.
Xu Shen understood that he could not eradicate these monsters by himself.
What he did was basically in vain.
Xu Shen did not go any deeper, but turned around and returned from the End Sea. Looking at the dust on the edge that was still disintegrating all the time, he couldn't help but sigh. At this point, he finally understood where they were.
This entire world is what Maeve calls a quasi-perfect container.
And it's already corrupted.
Therefore, after 1,500 years, the world will completely decay and disappear.
But given the current situation, in less than 1,500 years, or at most a few hundred years, there will be no place for humans to live here.
As the black fog spreads, the range of the defective containers' activities will become larger and larger. By then, the monsters bred from the defective containers will also invade the inner city and the bottom city. Human power will be unable to stop them.
Each monster has a fighting power close to that of a king.
By then, not only will humans have no place to live, but even the shells and ruins... will be destroyed together.
Xu Shen turned and left without looking for other defective containers. After hunting two previously, he found that although his strength had increased, it was only a quantitative accumulation and could not lead to qualitative change.
No matter how many defective containers there are, they cannot be piled up into a god, unless this quasi-perfect container is completely decayed and decomposed. At that time, the power of all the decomposed defective containers is combined, and perhaps it can become a god in one fell swoop.
But that would have to wait 1,500 years.
The return journey was easier than the coming journey. Xu Shen manipulated the defective container out of the black fog and immediately felt the discomfort of a dehydrated fish, as if he was suffocating. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that this was just an illusion of stepping out of his comfort zone.
He will not suffocate to death.
Nor will anything get worse as a result of leaving the black fog.
The black fog is like a nutrient solution, which only provides an extremely comfortable environment for the defective containers, making the containers that act according to their instincts unwilling to step out.
"The eight defective containers you mentioned, the one under my feet is one of them, right? In other words, there are seven more world continents like this?" Xu Shen looked at Maeve. Outside the End Sea, there are seven more "world continents". Are there humans living on them?
Maeve smiled and nodded, saying, "But some are more severely rotten and have completely rotted away, while others are in better condition than what you have here."
Xu Shen was silent.
"Why does this quasi-perfect vessel look similar to us humans?"
Xu Shen asked.
Maeve was stunned and asked in surprise: "How do you know he looks similar to you?"
Xu Shen said: "I saw it when I first entered the mysterious world..."
When he exited the spiritual world for the first time, he saw an enormous human figure, and then his consciousness fell from the sky into his body. Xu Shen thought that the human figure he vaguely saw was an illusion, or something else, but he didn't expect that it was the shape of the world they lived in... that is, the appearance of this quasi-perfect container.
Imagine that in the vast world, there are eight giant bodies lying, and countless ant-like humans living on them.
This is the true face of the world.
Maeve was relieved to hear Xu Shen say that. She chuckled and said, "Because the container is manufactured, it naturally needs a shape. To be precise, it is you who imitated the container, not the container that imitated you. The container came first and then you came. Moreover, the shape of each quasi-perfect container is different. Other quasi-perfect containers look different..."
"From the perspective of other creatures , your appearance is also very strange. Although it is not scary and you don't have that kind of wet and sticky stuff, this bare feeling is also scary."
Xu Shen asked doubtfully, "Are you saying that we are also lives that grew out of this container?"
"That's about right. You're making microscopic adjustments on each container," Maeve said.
Xu Shen glanced at her. Obviously, Maeve in front of him had also stepped into other containers over the endless years.
And the living beings in these containers are just pawns in the gods' deductions.
"But you have some interesting creatures born here," said Maeve.
"oh?"
"You are called the Human Emperor."
Maeve chuckled and said, "Those interesting guys did some interesting things. One of them is still above you right now."
"Head..."
Xu Shen looked up and saw that the Human Emperor was a god, but all he saw was the dark starry sky and a circular bright moon.
Xu Shen was suddenly stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be..."
Moon Lord?
Maeve shook her head slightly: "The Moon Lord is just one of the duty officers selected by the gods. Your Human Emperor is beside Him."
"Beside me?"
Maeve chuckled and said, "That's right. He used his body and life to create a vast fantasy world to hinder the Moon Lord's visit. Otherwise, the Moon Lord would have taken action long ago when there was something unusual here. The person on duty will not allow a being close to God to be born, and will not allow the defective container to be controlled by other life forms. This is a vessel made by the gods, and only the gods are qualified to control it."
Xu Shen was stunned.
