With a gentle lift of his right hand, Lu Yan seemed like a programmer, able to freely rewrite the cognition and memory of all living beings.
A tap of his index finger, and a scene perfectly aligned with Lu Yan's vision unfolded from his fingertips.
...
It was a long time before the cyber version spiritual ability users finally came to their senses.
Looking around, there was only a desolate wilderness remaining, the core territory they remembered was nowhere to be found.
They tried to recall, but there was only the fear stemming from the soul in their memory, their survival instinct stopping them from thinking deeply.
"What exactly happened?"
A spiritual ability user tremblingly asked, but no one could respond.
In their confusion, everyone's gaze fell on a sturdy man among the crowd.
This man was Shaq.
In the vague memory of all the spiritual ability users, Shaq was the first to lead them out of the version fragment proactively.
If it weren't for Shaq, they would have disappeared along with the version fragment long ago.
Feeling the gaze of the crowd, Shaq sorted through his memories, recalling only the great calamity at the Tower of the Universal. The spiritual ability users retreated to the core territory, but Shaq sensed instability and led everyone out of it against all opposition.
In the end, the core territory was destroyed, and Shaq became the great hero who saved everyone.
"I'm a great hero?"
Shaq murmured to himself in doubt.
He knew his own nature — selling Nine Dragon Power, running an underground fighting arena, kneeling instantly to the boss, lying to the Universal Giant Corporation — the word hero definitely didn't suit him.
But feeling the eager gaze of everyone around, even the few remaining extraordinary spiritual ability users showed him respect, Shaq suddenly felt a bit lost.
"Could it be... I'm really a hero?"
Just as Shaq was questioning life, a series of colorful meteors suddenly streaked across the sky.
The meteors traversed the sky, followed by powerful auras descending upon this barren land.
The spiritual ability users instantly felt like they were carrying a mountain; some of the weaker ones even directly fell to their knees.
The light from the meteors dissipated, revealing youth dressed in opulence before the spiritual ability users.
There were cultivators standing on flying swords with celestial demeanor, towering martial artists, demigods surrounded by divine radiance with sounds of faith echoing around them, and even saints in white emitting an eerie aura...
With just a glance, all of the upper-rank spiritual ability users including Shaq recognized that these people were strong individuals from various top version forces.
Golden Core True Inheritors of the All Immortals Alliance, Martial Saints of the Ten Directions Martial Arts, demigods of the Land of the Gods, Human Saints of the Seven Gods Church, Great Arcanists of the Arcane Hall...
Excluding Intelligent Machinery City, all top version forces had gathered.
While the spiritual ability users were bewildered, the Ten Directions Martial Arts' Martial Saint with a tiger-backed bear-waisted physique snorted coldly, sounding like thunder exploding next to all spiritual ability users.
"The person in charge, come out for me!"
The spiritual ability users exchanged glances, subsequently directing their gaze to one person.
This person was not the strongest extraordinary spiritual ability user present, but rather Shaq who had just become a hero.
Even the few extraordinary spiritual ability users who were originally in charge secretly rejoiced and looked towards Shaq.
Under the gaze of everyone, the strong individuals from each version force set their sights on Shaq.
"Are you the person in charge of the Tower of the Universal?"
With the Martial Saint from Ten Directions Martial Arts staring him down, Shaq braved it and stepped forward.
"Sir Martial Saint, my name is Shaq, considered the current person in charge of the Tower of the Universal."
With an expressionless face and a cold voice, the Martial Saint spoke:
"Tell me everything that happened here, don't leave out any details!"
Shaq opened his mouth, then revealed a bitter smile, saying:
"To report to Sir Martial Saint, it's not that I don't want to say, it's just I don't know where to start."
"Are you playing with me?" The Martial Saint angrily questioned, taking a step that swept immense power across the land, rendering the thousands of spiritual ability users breathless.
Standing at the forefront, Shaq took the brunt, his face turning red, wanting to beg for mercy but unable to say a word under this terrifying pressure.
At this moment, the Golden Core Peak True Inheritor Cultivator spoke.
"Stop messing around, let him clarify in detail."
Though merely at Golden Core Peak, still some distance from a Nascent Soul Realm Martial Saint, yet upon the Golden Core True Inheritor's reproachful words, the Martial Saint from Ten Directions Martial Arts immediately restrained his aura.
Upon witnessing this scene, the other version force representatives showed a trace of mockery on their faces, yet when their gaze met that threatening look from the Martial Saint, they quickly concealed their smiles.
The Martial Saint of Ten Directions Martial Arts is nicknamed the Martial Madman, only the All Immortals Alliance's Simultaneous Fate Changing Technique poses a threat to them.
Even the Golden Core Peak True Inheritor has a chance to replace a Martial Saint, thus Ten Directions Martial Arts is incredibly wary of the All Immortals Alliance.
But facing same-tier strong individuals from other version forces, Ten Directions Martial Arts' Martial Saint knows no fear.
Sweating profusely, Shaq took a deep breath, then responded hoarsely:
"To report to all the lords, our Tower of the Universal also doesn't know exactly what happened, only vaguely remember a powerful foe attacked, I led other spiritual ability users out of the core territory, and it ended up like this."
All Immortals Alliance's Golden Core True Inheritor furrowed his brows and said: "Could it be like the Superpower City, all version fragments devoured by Eternal Sky?
But why didn't the survivors of Superpower City lose their memory?"
At that moment, the Human Saint from the Seven Gods Church suddenly smiled.
"Since they can't explain clearly, let's directly explore their memory."
Upon speaking, the Human Saint walked to an extraordinary spiritual ability user.
The extraordinary spiritual ability user, comparable to Golden Core, suddenly looked devout, all memories in his mind converging into a book, with memory pages turning slowly under the Human Saint's control.
Demon Army invasion, execution of Authority Angel Level spiritual ability users, construction of large altars, reception of Eternal Sky...
Scene after scene unfolded before the strong individuals of each version force.
Despite having reconstructed the scene of Superpower City through various channels, upon witnessing Eternal Sky's arrival in the memory visuals, they were still awestruck by its grandeur.
"Just like that? Then why are their memories automatically shielded?"
The Great Arcanist questioned, but then the images on the memory pages began to change.
As Eternal Sky enveloped the heavens, the void seemed to be gently stirred by an invisible finger, rippling like a distortion.
Everyone felt a pair of invisible eyes traversing endless time and space, crossing countless dimensions, gradually focusing on this world.
The images present on the memory pages seemed to mirror reality; as the gaze came closer, reality distorted, permeating the air with an indescribable aura.
"It's not good! This is a forbidden existence!"
The Human Saint's eyes widened, spitting blood, as his body began mutating strangely.
Beneath his skin, scaly patches emerged, turning his eyes into cold vertical pupils, with chilling, bloodthirsty aura continuously emanating from him.
Struggling to maintain a sliver of sanity, he roared angrily:
"Destroy the Book of Memory!"
The moment those words resounded, Earth Evil Divine Techniques, Path-Entering Martial Techniques, Faith Divine Skill, Transdimensional Spells... all trump cards from the strong individuals of the various version forces were unleashed upon the Book of Memory, annihilating the book along with the extraordinary spiritual ability user.
The gaze that seemed to invade reality through memory abruptly ceased, everything returned to silence, leaving only the Human Saint gasping heavily.
He looked around at the strong individuals from various version forces, his eyes still contained unparalleled fear.
"There's a forbidden existence stretching its reach towards the Great Destruction Realm via Eternal Sky.
We must convene all forces before this realm falls into oblivion, and jointly discuss ways to counter Eternal Sky!"
