Chapter 256 I am a little fish (11)
Both 6058 and Lu Mingguang, who saw the message, fell into deep thought.
"There is indeed such a rumor among the gossip about Chunqi, saying that Chunqi suffered a cultivation mishap, his Dao heart was shattered, and his soul was scattered... I thought..."
Lu Mingguang initially categorized this statement as a "rumor".
According to this logic, no matter how powerful Chunqi was, he must be dead beyond any doubt.
If one's life is endangered due to external influences, it is impossible for such a powerful world consciousness to remain completely unaware.
Therefore, Lu Mingguang subconsciously believed that Chunqi would not die, even if he fell into demonic possession and cultivated the path of ghosts, he could not possibly die.
However, it now appears that Chunqi did not die, but he was indeed shattered.
"So the question is, what made Chunqi become like this? And where are his other fragments?"
In response to 6058's question, Lu Mingguang said, "Perhaps this is also related to 'divine revelation.' The shattering of Chunqi may have been his own doing."
6058 blinked, quietly waiting for Lu Mingguang to continue.
Lu Mingguang fiercely suppressed the urge to hug and kiss his wife whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and explained, "We were just talking about how the so-called divine revelation is related to ascending to immortality. It is said that this path no longer exists, and the cultivation world needs a brand new rift to reopen this path."
"By the time everyone believed the news was true, the pollution had already begun."
6058 followed Lu Mingguang's line of thought: "Becoming an immortal is the lifelong pursuit of most cultivators. However, in this world, the concept of 'immortal' is not clearly defined. For mortals, awakening their spiritual roots and forming their core are already within the realm of immortals. But now someone has appeared and told them that what they are cultivating is not immortality, but a way of thinking..."
6058 raised an eyebrow: "The emotional fluctuations of cultivators are quite different from those of mortals."
“That’s right,” Lu Mingguang flicked his fan again, waving it ostentatiously, “so the pollution in this world spread extremely quickly, and everything in the cultivation world, including human cultivators, demon cultivators, and evil cultivators, began to search for the so-called cracks.”
"The more they search, the less they can find, and the more severe the pollution will become."
"So, does this crack actually exist?" 6058 asked.
Lu Mingguang closed his fan, his expression slightly grave: "Logically speaking, it exists, but it's not the rift we think it is. Tang Bao, do you remember how you came to the Zero Realm?"
The red in 6058's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood what Lu Mingguang meant.
Born in an ABO world, 6058 experienced so many worlds with Jingli, and he vaguely sensed that his world had also been corrupted.
Like the previous Sentinel Guide world, the world 6058 inhabits is also a site of interstellar war—a war between humanity and interstellar insectoid races. At the same time, factional conflicts also exist on his planet.
Thus, in the intervals between wars with the Zerg, humans themselves would occasionally engage in wars, causing the human population in this world to decline sharply.
Perhaps it is against this backdrop that the ABO system came into being: the ALPHA, which has the advantage in warfare, and the OMEGA, which has the advantage in reproduction, thus maintaining the survival of humanity as a whole.
The family of 6058 was a very typical military family at the time.
His father and two older brothers were all top-quality ALPHAs in their country, and his mother was a female Omega.
It is also because of this family background that 6058 understands the difficulties OMEGA faces in this era.
For people at that time, military strength and population were of paramount importance. In this era, there was no such thing as love, and procreation was as important as childbirth.
Here, premium omega, like premium alfala, is considered divine.
But OMEGA is the god of life.
It's ridiculous that even 6058's mother, OMEGA, the youngest daughter who was also pampered in a military family, was just a breeding machine.
Marriage is never equivalent to ALPHA's fidelity; it is an exchange of power.
An ALPHA must have one OMEGA wife, but can have many OMEGA lovers.
When 6058's mother became pregnant with him, his ALPHA father brought home an OMEGA lover who was also pregnant.
This caused 6058's mother, whose health was already deteriorating, to suffer from severe depression. She didn't even want to give birth to 6058, especially after secretly finding out that 6058 had a 75% chance of differentiation into an Omega.
More than not wanting to bear a child for her so-called husband, she didn't want her own child to become a lowly product of this era.
But her innate maternal instincts ultimately prevented her from making the decision to abort 6058.
6058 became the child that was not expected to be born.
But after his birth, everything took a subtle turn.
6058 was diagnosed with congenital glandular absence.
His potential for differentiation remains OMEGA, but he lacks glands, which prevents him from being tagged and from conceiving.
According to 6058's brother, after their mother learned about this, she hugged 6058 and cried and laughed at the same time.
She wouldn't allow 6058's ALPHA father to do anything to harm 6058, protected him until he was seven, taught her brothers to protect 6058 unconditionally, and then passed away when 6058 was seven.
6058's brothers are really good to him, and because of his prominent family background, he can do many things he wants to do.
But no one knew that what 6058 wanted to do was to overturn the world.
Unfortunately, 6058 was not successful.
He was accused of being a "witch" by the people of his time and they wanted to burn him at the stake.
It was the brothers of 6058 who disobeyed military orders and bought him the opportunity to escape.
6058 piloted his spaceship away, not knowing where he was going, nor wanting to know.
He had no attachment to this world and rebelliously decided to test his time travel fantasy, which he had made in his spare time.
He was lucky; he left his original world and came to a secondary world, where he met Lu Mingguang. Lu Mingguang took him to the Zero Realm, where they found Jingli and discovered the fact that the world was polluted.
6058's eyelashes trembled slightly: "So, you mean that these cracks are actually invisible borders between different worlds, just like when I went from my world to those secondary worlds?"
"Yes." Sensing 6058's emotional fluctuations, Lu Mingguang gently rubbed 6058's head. "But not entirely."
Lu Mingguang continued, "We've been to the world of cultivation before. What are the common methods cultivators use for cultivation?"
6058 understood Lu Mingguang's meaning almost instantly: "You mean, a blessed land?"
Lu Mingguang nodded.
Almost every small world related to cultivation has some lost places. Some of these lost places are ancient inheritances, while others are the places where powerful beings fell.
Without exception, they are all extremely dangerous, but they also contain abundant treasures.
Therefore, it is called a blessed land.
"In other words, these blessed lands—could potentially border other worlds?"
Lu Mingguang nodded, his expression extremely solemn.
"These blessed lands inherently possess immense power, and most of them contain the power of spacetime. From another perspective, for this world, the stronger the power, the more fragile the world's boundaries become. If it were a world that operates naturally, that would be fine..."
6058 felt his hair stand on end: "But if it's like this now—that's the easiest place to create cracks."

6058: I was once a person with a miserable life too. (Looks up)
Everyone must have forgotten that our mommy is an Omega, right? 6058 cherishes our silly baby a lot, partly because he himself is an Omega who has lost his glands. After meeting Mr. Lu, he occasionally hoped to have a baby, and just like that, our little fish came into 6058's life.
6058's process of raising small fish is also a process of raising himself all over again!
