Chapter 1350: Chapter 77: Enoch

Between the [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body] and reincarnated consciousness, there indeed exists an inseparable link that remains unchanged no matter the distance or the passage of time.

However… as the [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body] came closer to Luo Qiu, their connection started to weaken… continually weaken.

In just a moment, this sturdy connection seemed to transform into tiny silk threads, easily snapped with a gentle tug.

“It seems my judgment was indeed correct.” The reincarnated consciousness clearly sensed this change, “I want to detach from it, and also prevent it from falling into anyone’s hands; only with you is it truly safe.”

Most likely this relies on the club’s formidable ability to isolate everything, disregarding any kind of probing… an overwhelmingly powerful barrier.

“That being said…” Luo Qiu quickly understood what the reincarnated consciousness intended to purchase from him, “Are you planning to entrust us with the [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body]?”

The reincarnated consciousness nodded directly, quite candidly saying, “Exactly, only under your custody is it guaranteed to be in the safest state… and the custodial fee is merely the body itself. As for the duration of custody… it’s until the day I die. Of course, during this time, if I need to use it, I can retrieve it from you.”

“Custodial service, huh…” Luo Qiu nodded, having no objections to such a transaction, and considered quickly agreeing to it.

However, before agreeing.

Luo Qiu looked at the reincarnated consciousness, saying, “Please reconsider carefully, given the value of the [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body]… because you cannot predict how much time remains until your death.”

According to the reincarnated consciousness’s statement, even if it dies tomorrow… or in half an hour, the [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body] would still be registered with the club, becoming the club’s possession… naturally, it was originally sold by the previous owner via the club.

“No need.” The reincarnated consciousness shook its head, “Actually, the quicker the decision is made, the better… the more consideration, the more time wasted.”

“Then, let’s sign the contract again.” Luo Qiu did not waste words… though this was his first encounter with such a custodial service, it did not pique his interest.

At this moment, the reincarnated consciousness swiftly stamped its mark on a new contract parchment… as the contract took effect and subsequently burned away… the transaction was already in continuous effect.

The [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body] fell into Boss Luo’s hands, beginning to diminish once more… originally the size of a grinding stone, it soon compressed into nothing more than a rugby-sized rhombic crystal.

The crystal emitted colorful radiance… but it was not hard; on the contrary, it was quite soft, easily reshaped from its original rhombic form with a gentle squeeze.

“I didn’t expect, it could compress even further?” Although the reincarnated consciousness could not see, it naturally possessed the ability to understand events unfolding nearby, “I originally thought, this was its true form.”

Boss Luo, at this point, whether intentionally or unintentionally, remarked, “Strictly speaking, this doesn’t count as a genuine [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body]… of course, the ‘not genuine’ here means it is not naturally formed as a [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body]. But rest assured, even though it is not naturally formed, in capability, it’s indistinguishable from a genuine [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body]… frankly, this is my first time discovering it can reach such an extent.”

“You…?” The reincarnated consciousness furrowed its brow.

Boss Luo just smiled casually without further explanation… nor did he plan to inform the reincarnated consciousness that this [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body] was actually synthesized from a special substance named: Wansu.

The [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body], initially purchased by [Cain], was directly generated using a complete Myriad Element Ore Mother — naturally, based on the properties of Wansu, once it stabilizes into a certain form, it cannot be reversed.

But even so, the reincarnated consciousness appeared to have lifted a large stone from its heart… compared to the time in the [past] within that cave, the reincarnated consciousness now seemed noticeably more lively.

Due to being essentially an entity of consciousness, this type of fluctuation in consciousness was easy to perceive… After Boss Luo handed the entrusted item to Ms. Ren to store away, he pondered for a while, then suddenly said, “Although the contract is signed and the transaction relationship is established, however…”

Even the reincarnated consciousness became somewhat tense at this moment.

Its knowledge about the club originated from [Cain]’s legacy — and in this legacy, many parts detailed the mysterious nature of the shop — furthermore, before encountering the void Asura’s downfall, [Cain] once ventured a remarkably bold hypothesis.

The shop might have originated from the primal world — and the original [Cain] once inquired of the shop about this issue, even proposed purchasing intelligence.

However… regarding the shop’s intelligence, the former Shop Owner’s asking price far exceeded that of a [Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body] by countless times… concerning the notion of purchasing a primal marker from the shop, the offered price further rendered the former [Cain] into temporary despair.

Nevertheless, the former [Cain] never relinquished the idea of exploring the primal.

As for the Transcendents… or rather, individuals who reached this level of life evolution, accompanying more time spent in time-space exploration, they increasingly sensed a peculiar call — initially, the explorers embarking upon time-space did not fully comprehend what this call was.

They only instinctively knew the call’s source name: The Origin.

Why explore The Origin, why arrive at The Origin… some pondered, for a millennium, ten thousand years, yet perpetually failed to find the answer, as if the impulse to explore originated from the very depth of their Soul.

Though in reality, none have reached The Origin… yet information concerning the distant is as abundant as the sands of the Ganges River — each Transcendent journeying through time-space, reflecting this primal call distinctively in their consciousness… each perceived phenomena vary.

Thus, never have Transcendents gathered together, able to piece together clues from each other’s obtained information.

Hence, [Cain] consulted these matters and left behind the acquired answers — these knowledge components constantly warned the reincarnated consciousness that within the endless long run through time-space, only that store cannot be conquered through any force… the store does not attack any entity; theoretically, each entity arriving is bound to become its customer; it lacks a standpoint as long as no established transaction rules are violated — but once rules are breached, regardless of identity, no one meets a pleasant end.

If, in the present world of a century ago, during the Oth Continent, the elites of the [Non-Human] put forth a valiant effort against the shop, considered merely a trivial game, then within the endless time-space of history, Transcendents once mounted a similar endeavor against the shop.

Knowledge passed down from [Cain] indicated the former [Cain] was not the first to hypothesize an exceptional connection between the shop and The Origin… a group preceding [Cain] in achieving Transcendence carried similar conjectures.

A terrifying time-space covered conflict once transpired before [Cain] reached Transcendence… the outcome, however, is unrecorded; even after extensive exploration of many dimensions, [Cain] could only infer from scant traces.

Apparently, that entire batch of old-generation Transcendents… all perished.

The dimensional rift seems formed only after that major conflict occurred… serving as its battleground.

Time-space exploration thus encountered a lengthy, unknown duration of stagnation… all old-generation Transcendents vanished.

Then at some point, a new generation of Transcendent was born… nameless, yet inherently knowledgeable, formed naturally, born already at the Transcendent’s life tier.

Since its birth, it has never announced its name, nor has any subsequent new generation Transcendent truly witnessed its appearance. It is just that at some point, the legend about it began to spread among the new generation Transcendents… It is said that this first new generation Transcendent left behind more than three thousand contracts similar to it, and it was just fortunate to be the first to “wake” up.

It used the word “wake” very mysteriously.

Therefore, apart from the seemingly innate exploration of The Origin, searching for traces of the first new generation Transcendent is also a relatively popular activity among many new generation Transcendents.

“Cain” counts as one of the later appearances among the new generation, and for the most part, he pieces together the old generation’s matters through exchanges with Seniors or his own exploration.

However, one thing is very clear to “Cain”, and that is, after the old world war vanished completely, this shop still remains.

Powerful can no longer suffice as a description… even reborn consciousness can’t think of anything that can fully describe the essence of this existence—therefore, when he heard Boss Luo just finish saying the word “but”, he involuntarily tensed up.

“But as for myself, I still feel somewhat guilty.”

Reborn consciousness did not immediately react after hearing this.

Boss Luo just smiled indifferently: “Actually, primarily speaking, it’s just that I personally quite like this “past”. Although…”

At this moment, while Luo Qiu was speaking, some strange changes began to occur across the entire Corpse Pit… Initially, it was the place cracked open by the giant hand of the “Lost Canine” that started to be patched directly.

Then, just as in the Unhuman Domain, if there is an error in the system maintaining the stability of the “Domain” structure, the topography of the “Domain” will suddenly change accordingly.

The whole Corpse Pit, within an instant, underwent this kind of transformative change.

It seemed like a barrier of light, from one side, sweeps across to another side… Corpse Pit then became a settlement that had appeared in that “past”.

Houses made from polished bones, gray-white paths.

You can see fields that have been opened up in the distance, and also… the cave where reborn consciousness resides.

“…Although, for the final transaction payment as the “Pseudo Eternal Immortal Body”, these don’t really mean anything. But I think…”

On the street carved from white bones, a figure suddenly appeared… A young man carrying a basket on his back… As the first man appeared, one figure after another began to become clear on the road, in the houses, in the fields, and in the plaza.

“However, I think, rather than letting this “past” merely exist within your consciousness construction, it’s better to have a more stable reality carrier for it…”

Initially, reborn consciousness could only perceive the changes of all this… but gradually, it seemed to “see” something.

As the figures beside him appeared one after another, when all colors of this “past” could only exist within its consciousness and could not be truly “seen” with its own eyes until everything was colorless… colors thus entered its “Vision”.

Losing sight also got restored in this transformation… An old appearance also returned to youth, nearly indistinguishable from the appearance of the Holy Blood’s will.

Then there was sound… the sound of their voices speaking.

Then there was singing, inside the house, a woman gently rocking the cradle, softly singing a lullaby.

Then there was a baby… a small figure within the cradle, started to solidify from being faint, from nearly transparent to gradually casting shadow… finally becoming complete.

“…Of course, these are all calculated based on the “past” in your consciousness as the fundamental—no need for you to continue to use a large amount of energy to do that calculation. I think in this way, you should have more time to ponder the questions for answers you want to get.”

Reborn consciousness just subconsciously touched its face… fingers, it saw the shape of its fingers, it touched its eyelids.

“Why… go to such lengths?” It opened its mouth, the only feeling it could find was… puzzlement.

Boss Luo just casually smiled: “Didn’t I say, in this way, you don’t have to expend too much energy continuously keeping this “past” for those little resentful spirits. You can have more time to contemplate the answers to your questions… Have you forgotten the content of our first contract.”

The first contract… before managing the “Pseudo-Eternal Indestructible Body”, in the cave from “past”, the first transaction that was completed—completely liberating reborn consciousness from the Holy Blood’s will entanglement.

Now, as the content of this transaction unfolds along with the Holy Blood’s will returning to its original dispersed state, the shop side actually completed its product—and then what follows is the payment required by reborn consciousness.

—When this commission is completed, reborn consciousness will surrender its Soul after it becomes a True Object.

“So I think, there’s no need to thank me for anything… I just did something, which if seeing the essence clearly, may actually make one loathe.” Luo Qiu smiled slightly, “After all, I’m considered a merchant. Oh, by the way…”

Finally, Boss Luo waved his hand.

In the Corpse Pit, all of a sudden, many bones emerged from beneath the earth… They were scattered, shattered, but soon they separated again, then assembled, finally becoming complete skeletons.

Human skeletons… additionally, there were skeletons that probably belonged to children.

Different sized skeletons then began to separate at this moment, pairing up… finally forming multiple combinations in twos and threes and started embedding in various white bone residences.

These were the descendants of the Ancients who once lived here, who escaped from the Farm, and the… children they once gave birth to due to ignorance and instincts.

Boss Luo softly spoke at this time: “Although I didn’t intend to even retrieve the spirits of their parents, after all, here… the parents already exist and aren’t the faces that buried them initially, but I suppose… for the family to be whole is considered better.”

Reborn consciousness, now looking at this truly manifested settlement constructed from the “past” it created for those little resentful spirits that were like solitary spirits to have a refuge, watching those vibrant little resentful spirits that accompanied it for a while, frolicking under their parents’ companionship here… It could no longer distinguish what was between true and false.

Lastly, Boss Luo suddenly asked: “Don’t plan to give this place a name?”

It subconsciously replied: “Enoch… From now on, this place will be called Enoch.”
