“However, there seems to be a deeper response mechanism that just can’t be activated; it seems that certain conditions need to be met.”

“Wait, did I place the main character in the wrong camp?”

“Done, I finally managed to crack the firewall of the Heroic Spirit Land, but going in there next… is definitely not possible.”

“Indeed, one shouldn’t be limited by conventional thinking. There are differences between main characters, especially when the world has undergone an irregular change. Then, the main character surely can’t be a normal one.”

“Put in another way, this mud is like the six realms of reincarnation, uh, the damaged plus BUG version.”

“The question is whether it can be repaired. If it can be repaired, perhaps it could be transformed into a Titan Level Giant Structure for resurrection.”

“With my size, I’m afraid I’d trigger an alert the moment I enter. I can only send in a spirit body to explore.”

“It looks like someone has sabotaged the entire Heroic Spirit System.” Qin Muye concluded that the Spirit Summoners were not an Extraordinary System at all, but rather a spillway.

“Damn it, stupid. So the firewall isn’t to prevent external invasions but to prevent these things from spilling out.”

“Even if there is no one to maintain it, it can still run automatically. It’s probably been hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years, but why has the civilization remained at this level?”

“Then… what use is the main character?” Qin Muye also realized this.

“So, no matter which main character it is, as long as they enter the Sky Tower, the cataclysm will be set in motion?”

“No wonder I have no related memories; it’s probably because their brains were consumed.”

“It’s not surprising that there are outbreaks every three thousand years because it roughly takes this time to accumulate.”

“No wonder the Sky Tower can be at the forefront of the era. It’s because the entire civilization hasn’t made any progress at all. Now we can still resist, but if the number of cataclysmic events increases, the entire civilization might regress to the primitive era.”

“The souls of the dead find their destination here, and becoming a Heroic Spirit is real, but everything is not what everyone imagines.”

“If the Heroic Spirit Land is indeed breached by the Spirit Tribulation Mud, it would flow into the real world, and that would be a disaster.”

“If all else fails, we can only let this thing become the cataclysm and then erase it ourselves.”

“Forget it, no use worrying about all that for now. First, let’s figure out what Spirit Tribulation really is.”

“A highly advanced civilization?”

“So the very nature of the firewall system that was built has already shown flaws, but because of the Spirit Tribulation Mud causing the loss of technology, no one has come to repair it?”

“Therefore, someone discovered this problem, which is why the qualification of Spirit Summoner was established, and the firewall was built.”

“Heroic Spirits and humans are two different entities. Heroic Spirits are just energy life forms with human memories, not actual people.”

“Is there a possibility that the main character belongs to the cataclysm camp, not the human camp?”

“This seems like some kind of disorder of the world rules?”

“This main quest is really simple, the supporting character identity is a hundred times stronger than the main character identity.”

“Aimed at cognition?”

“But sure, this mud definitely has to be dealt with. I have no means to do so; using this stuff as fuel is barely effective, not to mention stuffing so much into my fuel would reduce the energy building efficiency.”

“The main character is the protagonist of the world, not just of humanity. That is to say, the camp was never on the human side to begin with.”

But when a Spirit Summoner awakens a Heroic Spirit here and leaves, the black mud inside would diminish a bit. As the number of Spirit Summoners increases, the mud would lessen, until the growth and consumption reach a balance.

Naturally, Qin Muye’s interest grew more and more.

The sampling of the Spirit Tribulation Mud went smoothly, and Qin Muye found that this substance wasn’t material; rather, it was a highly concentrated form that became mud-like. Calling it mud wasn’t correct, instead, it was a special form of energy aggregate.

Following that, the mud in his hands began to change, and a human face even emerged from it.

And all Heroic Spirits were formed from Spirit Tribulation Mud.

And such individuals were thus called Heroic Spirits.

After all, as long as it’s useful, it doesn’t have to be a certain Titan Level Giant Structure. What’s most important is suitability to the location.

There might be errors and omissions in his conjectures, but the overall direction was definitely correct.

The Spirit Body was quickly enveloped and then sent into the Heroic Spirit Land.

The Spirit Body soon shed a strand, which then underwent various modifications and sealings to prevent it from becoming a source of contamination upon entry.

Not just anything could be stuffed in as fuel; Qin Muye also had to consider the characteristics of the fuel.

But the problem was that this balance had not been successfully established. On the contrary, due to Spirit Summoners cultivating the Heroic Spirits, the death of a Spirit Summoner led to the return of the Heroic Spirits to the Heroic Spirit Land, resulting in the acquired power becoming an even larger mass of mud.

At that time, if Heroic Spirits turned into Demon Spirits, Qin Muye wouldn’t know how to explain it.

Qin Muye couldn’t help but think of the Gendaya Civilization, with somewhat similar experiences, though this instance world was even more extreme; now, truly, only so little remained.

Qin Muye felt that these matters were too bizarre; he had not expected the truth behind the cataclysm to be like this.

Qin Muye realized why Heroic Spirits were inherently a part of the Spirit Tribulation.

What Qin Muye needed was a normal, complete Heroic Spirit Land, not one transformed by the Abyss; after the transformation, many data would change, which would be a huge loss for him.

Qin Muye swore in dismay; this explained everything, the main character wasn’t someone who came to resolve the cataclysm, but was actually an executor acting on Heaven’s behalf.

If Qin Muye were to physically enter the Heroic Spirit Land, it would definitely trigger an adverse reaction.

If you asked when the main character was the closest to the Heroic Spirit Land, it was undoubtedly when holding the Heavenly Order to enter the Cabinet of the Sky Tower.

Even the so-called Heaven Pavilion was likely a part of that mechanism.

He didn’t want to hack through a firewall again, so using a Thief-style infiltration was best, rather than a Berserker-style one.

He knew that these mechanisms weren’t natural, like firewalls, the Heroic Spirit System itself was a unique project built by people for survival. Its intrinsic value was just too high, causing modern-day Spirit Summoners to be oblivious.

At first glance, the Heroic Spirit Land was not filled with various Heroic Spirits as Qin Muye had imagined, but a terrifying expanse of black mud.

Now, Qin Muye also understood why the civilization of this world was so strange; considering everyone’s thoughts were devoured, most likely, they had to redevelop. How much could civilization advance with such an event every three thousand years.

It was equivalent to releasing one portion and receiving back tenfold, a hundredfold.

Repair was impossible; Qin Muye didn’t have the technology for it.

Once the Heroic Spirit Land fell, it was certain that all Spirit Summoners would be contaminated by the Abyss Power, greatly reducing their value.

Therefore, the resurrection-oriented Titan Level Giant Structures were out of the question. Although the original function of the Underworld was lost, it gave birth to even more bizarre functionalities, which Qin Muye considered could perhaps be turned into energy structures.

After acquiring a large amount of data and making deductions, Qin Muye had this idea.

Upon seeing the mud for the first time, Qin Muye understood something—that this substance was the so-called Spirit Tribulation.

The moment he got hold of it, Qin Muye could feel the Spirit Tribulation Mud on his hand slowly consuming the thoughts of this strand of his Spirit Body.

This mud continued to proliferate, seemingly filling up the entire Heroic Spirit Land bit by bit.

This also explained why there was no record and even the Heroic Spirits didn’t know what Spirit Tribulation was—because this memory segment had been erased for everyone. Heroic Spirits were part of the cataclysm; who could retain their memories?

This human face was naturally Qin Muye’s, and it was still struggling, apparently trying to completely consume his thoughts and become a completely new entity.

The entire Heroic Spirit Land gave Qin Muye a feeling like the Underworld with a BUG—all the intended functionalities were there, but due to massive data overflow, functionalities could not be implemented or even became problematic.

But after a thorough inspection, it was found to be completely damaged. Due to degeneration, functionalities were permanently impaired.

As long as it was successfully created, not to mention anything else, there would be no need to worry about energy problems in the entire Endless Abyss.
