Don't worry, the file is being read.

Chapter 66 Sword and Scabbard
  Yujing Church Headquarters, Temple.

Sitting at the desk where Zuo Yi used to handle official duties, Ji Xiu looked at the files Zuo Yi left for him.

Every word in the file was written by Zuo Yi himself.

The answers to many questions are also revealed at this moment.

Among them is a description of why the number of people with supernatural powers in Yu Jingguo has increased over the years, and why there is mandatory supervision of civilian superpowers in unofficial organizations.

His conjecture about this approach at the time was that many of the extraordinary power controllers born among the people were very likely to be members of the troublesome forces, just like the members of the Black Hole Organization who could exchange 5000 mission points for extraordinary abilities.

It is not reasonable for them to have extraordinary abilities, and it is normal for them to be regulated.

But after learning that the Black Hole Organization was founded by Zuo Yi himself, this question became a bit difficult to understand.

How could Zuo Yi supervise the black hole organization he created?

Now Ji Xiu understands the reason, and the truth of the matter is far from simple as he thought.

In the file on the desk, Zuo Yi divided the activation methods of extraordinary abilities into two types: innate extraordinary abilities that are naturally activated, and acquired extraordinary abilities that are forcibly activated through the stimulation of soul medicine.

These two methods of activating extraordinary abilities do not affect the strength of extraordinary abilities, nor the speed of advancement of extraordinary abilities.

But in Zuo Yi's eyes, there is a huge difference.

The reason is related to the difficulty of making soul medicine and the scarcity of the raw materials required.

Zuo Yi looked at this problem from the overall perspective of Yu Jing's country. Each acquired extraordinary cost is high, and Yu Jing's offshore resources are simply not enough to support a large number of extraordinary people.

How to increase the number of innate extraordinary people is an important research direction for the rise of the human race in Zuo Yi's eyes.

In order to solve this problem, Zuo Yi looked through a large amount of historical data, and finally found a path to the mysterious ruins in the data left by Yu Jingshen, and formed a scientific expedition team to investigate. Finally, the mysterious ruins found human body parts The truth behind the extraordinary genes.

Only then did Zuo Yi understand that the history of the human race was far more than just 500 years.

Long before the human race established the Yujing Civilization, there were traces of human civilization that existed for eight epochs.

And this generation of humans is the continuation of the human fire in the eighth era.

After the Kuroshio natural disaster, everything belonging to human civilization was gone. However, the human fire species that escaped the natural disaster under the protection of Yu Jingshen inherited the four divine powers given by the two human leaders in the eighth era, namely the power of trickery, The power of rage, the power of fear, the power of darkness.

But for unknown reasons, with the opening of the new era, the powerful power hidden in the human body has completely disappeared from the body. The seal has not been unlocked, and it is difficult to rely on natural conditions to activate it. It is generally necessary to stimulate the human body through the stimulation of soul medicine to open the human body. potential.

Although there are occasional people born with extraordinary abilities among the people, their numbers are very rare.

Zuo Yi's conjecture about this phenomenon is that perhaps in order to avoid the Kuroshio natural disaster at that time, the human fire that was left behind was sealed with extraordinary abilities to prevent the aura of the ability from leaking and attracting the attention of the Kuroshio natural disaster monsters, thus escaping the natural disaster.

But this also results in the inability of human beings to display their powerful innate abilities in this new era.

Zuo Yi regards the extraordinary abilities in the human body as "the hidden treasure of the body". If a way can be found to tap the potential of the human body, the growth talent of human beings will not be weaker than that of any top alien race, and may even be better.

As long as this problem is solved, Yujing civilization will inevitably move towards glory.

But there are two ways to solve the problem.

The first method is simple and crude. As long as you have enough spiritual resources to make soul medicine and mass-produce it, you can create a prosperous world with extraordinary abilities for all people.

At that time, Yu Jingguo will not be afraid of any challenge from external forces.

But it is extremely difficult to achieve this method.

The output of spiritual materials for making soul potion is mainly from several resource islands in the outer sea, and they are not rich resource areas. The amount of spiritual materials produced is very limited, which can only be used to create and maintain the activation and growth of a few extraordinary abilities. If you want to have more resources, you must first have strong force, but if you want to have strong force, you need to have more soul medicine to create and cultivate more people with extraordinary abilities.

With the weakening national power of Yu Jingguo, it is very difficult to hold on to the existing resources, and it does not have the strength to plunder the outside world.

The second method is to find ways to naturally activate extraordinary abilities.

In Zuo Yi's eyes, this is the path to rise that is most suitable for the modern world.

But it is not easy to find a natural way to activate extraordinary abilities. There is no corresponding key or password, and the answer can only be found through trial and error.

To this end, Zuo Yi opened a large number of subjects in the field of extraordinary ability research and launched a huge plan called "Extraordinary Recovery".

Mainly by studying those who are born with extraordinary abilities, looking for ways to naturally activate their abilities.

This is also the reason why every person with extraordinary abilities needs to register and even undergo relevant ability tests.

After decades of research, Zuo Yi finally found several feasible natural activation solutions.

For example, an invisible spirit-capturing array is deployed in Yujing's country to subtly increase the aura content in Yujing's country, improve the environment, and nourish the bodies of the people of Yujing's country through aura.

This method is indeed effective, but it takes a long time to accumulate, and the effect in a short period of time is very limited.

The Kuroshio natural disaster is imminent. In Zuo Yi's view, this method is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket and cannot allow the human race to have sufficient strength before the Kuroshio natural disaster comes.

The solution to the problem was finally found after the birth of the black hole organization.

Zuo Yi discovered that every extraordinary talent hidden in the human body requires a specific method to activate.

One of the most critical factors is "emotion". For example, under extreme fear and despair, the seals in the human body will loosen, and the possibility of activating extraordinary abilities will greatly increase.

The loosening of the seal caused by this emotion is characterized as "adaptive evolution" ability in Zuo Yi's eyes.

In the face of desperate situations and harsh environments, the potential in the human body will be activated to protect the owner of the body from death.

This is also the reason why the number of extraordinary people born in Yu Jingguo has increased significantly during these years of turmoil.

But this key seems to Zuo Yi to be a double-edged sword.

The turmoil itself is weakening Yu Jingguo's foundation. Creating extraordinary abilities in this way is equivalent to replenishing blood during the process of blood loss, and cannot solve the root problem.

What Zuo Yi needs is extreme fear that can completely plunge the people into panic without affecting the development of Yu Jingguo.

The Black Hole Organization can indeed create chaos and fear in specific locations, but this part of the fear will be absorbed by the fear seals on the members of the Black Hole Organization, and then transmitted to the fear formations buried underground in the city, and then to the fear in the far north. Divine body.

For the vast majority of people, the threat posed by black hole organizations to them is very limited.

The black hole organization is more about creating the ultimate fear of individuals in the face of death.

After all, the purpose of the birth of the Black Hole Organization is not only to serve as a secret weapon for Zuo Yi to fight against opposition voices, but also to create fear, rather than to completely paralyze the entire Yu Jing Kingdom. Therefore, it rarely engages in large-scale sabotage incidents that shake the foundation of Yu Jing Kingdom.

How to solve this problem, Zuo Yi finally found something.

That's the source of pollution.

The emergence of pollution sources can be traced back to more than a hundred years ago. When he was young, Zuo Yi felt the extreme fear caused by pollution sources.

Every time a pollution source appears, people will panic. Wherever a pollution source appears, the people in the entire city will tremble under the threat posed by the pollution source.

Because the influence of the pollution source ignores any physical defense, as long as it enters the specific range of the pollution source, it means that it will be mentally infected and eventually turn into a mutated monster.

It is like a plague that has no cure. After being contaminated, there is no antidote or vaccine to save it.

This is a powerful tool to create fear in Zuo Yi's eyes.

The fear caused by a pollution source is greater than that of a large-scale chaos caused by the Black Hole Organization, causing panic among the people of the entire city.

The fear emotions provided can either feed the fear body or be used to stimulate the birth of innate transcendence.

But in Zuo Yi's eyes, this thing is Pandora's box.

If it cannot be controlled in time, a large-scale pollution incident will break out, and if something goes wrong, Yu Jingguo will be completely unable to turn over.

It's like walking a tightrope, and the result of a mistake is death.

For this reason, Zuo Yi began to research the antidote to the source of pollution, using this as a means of guarantee to prevent the situation from completely getting out of control.

Zuo Yi originally thought that even if he could develop an antidote, it would not be made public.

After all, having an antidote means that panic will be suppressed, and the unknown can bring real fear. The emergence of the antidote will give people a layer of insurance, thinking that they can be treated even if they are infected, and there will be a safety valve. But the antidote has never been found.

This left Zuo Yi in conflicting emotions about whether to use this card in his hand.

Thinking of the offshore resource crisis faced by the human race and the Kuroshio natural disaster they would face in the future, he finally decided to take the risk and continue to use pollution sources.

In order to ensure that pollution source incidents are always under control, Zuo Yi reformed the structure of the Saints Group and established a team system dedicated to dealing with pollution sources.

But this is not enough. Every year, Zuoyi requires major cities to organize drills to deal with pollution sources to make it the norm. It also requires major cities to install square speakers in all areas specifically for notifying emergencies. When pollution source incidents occur, they can be promptly carried out. A city-wide announcement was broadcast.

Broadcasting can not only amplify the publicity and influence of pollution sources, but also allow people to evacuate in time when responding to pollution source incidents.

What Zuo Yi wants is the fear energy provided by the people, and he does not want to scare civilization into a country of decaying monsters due to the endless spread of pollution.

While drawing out the evil sword and slashing at Yu Jingguo, Zuo Yi used his own way to create a scabbard for the evil sword, so that the evil was always within control.

The purpose of all this is to create gods and increase the number of innate extraordinary controllers.

The black hole organization has a special organization called "Pollution".

The members of this organization are all extremely evil people. They are excellent tools in Zuo Yi's eyes, and they are also a scourge that must be eradicated in his eyes.

It is up to this team to find the source of the contamination.

Before each pollution source is released, Zuo Yi will receive the release address and information from the pollution organization, and then Zuo Yi will send this information to the top leaders of the Saints Group who are responsible for him such as "Dark Night".

Among them, the file recorded an incident that made Ji Xiu find it ridiculous.

The contamination team has conducted several internal cleanups, believing that the Thousand Faces Organization or an undercover spy from the Saints Group has appeared in the team.

Because every time the pollution source is released by the pollution team, it will be discovered in time. The high-efficiency cleanup of the Saints team is simply like prejudgment and cannot effectively spread the pollution.

Because of this incident, the leader of the pollution team, "Gan Duo," even conducted a complete change of leadership in the pollution team.

But Gan Duo had doubted everyone, except the mysterious leader of the Black Hole Organization.

Although Zuo Yi has never revealed his true identity in front of Gan Duo, in his eyes he is the ultimate incarnation of evil. He is the leader of the black hole who bestowed upon him extraordinary abilities, and he is also the divine agent of the black hole god in the world.

The mysterious leader in Gan Duo's eyes is the source of all fear. Even if he doubts himself, he will never doubt him.

In the end, Gan Duo attributed this problem to the efficient organizational structure of the Saints group. Although he still released the source of the pollution in accordance with Zuo Yi's request, he completely gave up the idea of ​​searching for spies internally.

After searching all over and changing the personnel, the real spy could not be found at all.

As for the origin of the pollution source, there are detailed records in Volume 13.

The source of pollution does not come from the wall, but from the open sea.

The initial source of pollution that entered the country of Yu Jing was carried by the Thousand Faces Organization, which was a link in the conspiracy to destroy the situation in Yu Jing.

In order to take advantage of the pollution source, Zuo Yi formed a "pollution team" within the Black Hole organization to investigate the source of the pollution source.

The answer was finally found offshore.

It's the Demonic Mist.

Relevant information Ji Xiu learned about it many years ago when looking up relevant information on sea rituals and rituals.

Devil's fog is a very rare phenomenon that only appears in the open sea. It is one of the four major crises in the eyes of fishermen when going to sea. According to records on the Internet, fishing boats occasionally encounter thick black fog during navigation, and the ship enters the fog. After that, they will lose their direction, and the pointer and compass will become invalid. During this period, the fishermen's mental state will be eroded by some mysterious force, causing them to become lost, crazy, vomiting, fainting, and other negative states. In serious cases, they may even die suddenly.

When the pollution team investigated the Devil's Fog, they discovered that there was a sticky black fruit floating on the sea surface when the Devil's Fog appeared. They called this fruit "Devil Fruit". The Devil Fruit that escaped from the sea was the source of pollution, and it was accompanied by strong mental damage. The effect can even distort the fallen soul.

Extraordinary abilities are characterized in Zuo Yi's research as power from the soul.

Get power feedback by strengthening your soul.

The same applies to the source of pollution. This is also a force that acts on the soul and spirit, changing the structure of the soul, and the power of soul feedback can turn the polluted person into a twisted monster.

The difference is that extraordinary ability is a gentle feedback, gradually growing through the path of rules engraved between heaven and earth, while the source of pollution is a rough transformation of the soul, causing the soul to mutate in distortion.

This is also the reason why no antidote can be found through research on the source of pollution.

Humanity's exploration of the soul is still in its infancy, and the only thing that can have an effect on the soul is "soul medicine."

After closing the file, Ji Xiu came to the bookshelf, stuffed the file into the corresponding position, and then pulled out a new volume to continue reading.

Before transforming into the God of Fear, Zuo Yi left a lot of development groundwork for Xia Gengzhu.

The pollution source plan, the fear tree, the core members of the new black hole organization (Xiang Ming, Heiye, and other members who clearly know Zuo Yi's plan), the high priest's divine ring (divine nature), the extraordinary recovery plan, etc.

It can be said that Zuo Yi has already paved the way for Xia Gengzhu to take charge of Xiayu Jingguo's future.

Zuo Yi has only one request.

After he falls, Xia Gengzhu will embark on the road to become the new God of Fear in the name of a successor, stepping on Zuo Yi's burned corpse to continue to guard the cracks in the high wall, and continue the development of the human race for another period of time.

During this period, Xia Gengzhu also had to choose his successor and become the third successor to guard the high wall.

Before the Sequel Disaster awakened, the high wall was the only barrier for mankind to resist the Kuroshio natural disaster.

Opening the file in his hand, the above content explains Zuo Yi's understanding of the Kuroshio natural disaster.

His understanding is very similar to that of Lei Yan. He believes that the ultimate goal of the Black Tide Natural Disaster is to turn everything in the world into a state of chaos and nothingness, and then retreat behind the high wall before the arrival of a new era to accumulate the next round of power that will sweep the world.

But this is just a conjecture, and there is no detailed explanation of the Kuroshio natural disaster, including the information in the mysterious ruins.

Even Zuo Yi once raised the same doubts as him in the file, why humans in the first eight eras did not go to the open sea to escape and become the first line of defense against the Kuroshio natural disaster.

There may be potential problems that cannot be avoided, but at least Zuo Yi can't think of a reason why humans should face the Kuroshio natural disaster.

The file records Zuo Yiyou's idea of ​​leading the Yujing people to migrate and flee overseas. He did not want humans to become the first barrier to life when the Kuroshio natural disaster swept through. He believed that if the sky fell, the alien races from the outer sea would stand in front, and humans would be completely destroyed. There is no need to sacrifice your life for the righteousness of the world.

But this plan simply could not be implemented.

The combined population of humanity's five largest cities is close to 3000 million, which is a very large number.

Migration means giving up all the resource areas of Yu Jingguo. Human beings will no longer have land that can produce food and spiritual resources. They will also give up the prehistoric technology and hundreds of years of infrastructure achievements that can bring revolutionary progress, completely Become a refugee.

The process of migration will inevitably be accompanied by large-scale population decline.

More importantly, the outer sea is a land of disputes, with a large number of rare treasures and spiritual resources. Countless powerful alien forces are entrenched on one side. To plunder land from them requires powerful force.

Without the nourishment of land, human beings will eventually perish in the wandering process of migration.

But Zuo Yi did not give up the idea of ​​migration. He didn't know why humans in previous eras clung to the high wall, but he just wanted to protect the continuation of human civilization, so migration was an important part of Zuo Yi's plan. The premise was that if humans Before migrating, it is necessary to have strong force so that the human race can successfully establish a foothold in the outer sea.

This is one of the reasons why Zuo Yi guarded the high wall to buy time for the human race.

The Kuroshio natural disaster is bound to come, and perhaps humans will eventually face the challenge of the Kuroshio, but Zuo Yi does not want humans to be the first line of defense in front of the high wall. He hopes that humans will migrate as deep as possible to the outer sea.

Before that, human beings need time to grow and develop and accumulate the strength to deal with crises.

Seeing this, we can see that all of Zuo Yi's plans are to speed up the development of the human race and buy more time for the development of the human race, but the ultimate goal is not to fight against the Kuroshio natural disaster. To be more precise, humans cannot be allowed to Become the first force to fight against the Kuroshio natural disaster.

After reading this volume, Ji Xiu had a more detailed understanding of Zuo Yi's plan.

Looking to the end of Volume 14, the above text records Zuo Yi's interpretation and conjecture about the Thousand Faces, All Gods, and other troublesome forces, as well as the gods behind them.

There are also relevant records from the prehistoric investigation team.

　Brothers, I saw your comments. Zuo Yi’s foreshadowing is indeed too little. The plot will be refined later and slowly advanced. The current plot progress is indeed a bit fast.

　　(／_＼) bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
