Chapter 983 518: See, This Is What It Means to Look for a Donkey While Riding One
"Civilization?"
Gu Shanhai's expression held a bit of "what the hell".
After continuing to mess around with the Lantern Specter at the Grand Heaven Realm, Gu Shanhai delved deeper and discovered that the power targeting the ghosts seemed somewhat similar to his Civilization Seed.
The difference is that the Civilization Seed in his hand is just a small fledgling, unlike the powerful and complete existence that envelops books and electronic products.
"The reference material has always been beside me, yet I knew nothing..." Gu Shanhai found himself a bit speechless at this moment.
The main reason is that most of his mind was focused inward, not outward, plus the thing was quite obscure; unless he came into contact with ghosts, it simply doesn't exist, and the conditions to obtain it are quite harsh.
It was because the Grand Heaven Realm was fiddling with the Lantern Specter and asked him to play on the computer, diving deeply into playing, unlike the previous passive acceptance when watching TV with the Yin Fenggui, he was actively engaging.
This is how Gu Shanhai noticed some clues, which led him to study deeply afterward.
"It seems Peeping Realm is within reach..."
Gu Shanhai felt a sense of joy; initially, without the reference, he would have had to go to the next instance to craft the Civilization Seed into the Peeping Realm, considering this instance was evidently fast-paced, allowing only ten days per stage, with a total of a maximum of fifty days.
For someone like him, who occasionally spends hundreds of years in an instance, this pace is incredibly swift.
Under normal circumstances, completing the research on Peeping Realm in this instance is nothing short of a fantasy, who would have thought that the reason human world could crush the Ghost World is due to the extraordinary existence of human civilization, and Gu Shanhai could analyze it to further himself.
Previously, he thought this world had no Transcendent system; now it seems, it's not absent, just rather special.
The entire Transcendent system doesn't act on humans, but on the whole civilization and society, then radiates to humans, rendering humans devoid of Transcendent abilities, but possessing Transcendent characteristics to counteract various Transcendent existences.
Other Transcendent existences will, under the influence of human civilization, become various things in human life, like ghosts seem like small bread or erasers to humans, it's not just a change in appearance; human perception will affect them.
This is what makes survival so tough for ghosts in human hands.
Who pays attention to what a small piece of bread is thinking?
In one big happy family, ghosts can disguise themselves as humans, which is already a very high level.
Gu Shanhai now understood that these rules were likely established to stabilize ghost disguises, hence the insufficient protection against threats, unlike in the Garden Apartment where room protection was provided.
Ghosts in the Garden Apartment could hide in rooms and if the protection time hadn't expired, humans couldn't threaten them like they could here.
And this is still an instance with nodes; in other survival instances, ghost survivors... seem about the same.
They still live very tough, even if the difficulty is simpler, yet how simple can it get, instead these five nodes are significantly cared for by the human world and civilization, resulting in the greatest protection but the hardest difficulty.
Thinking about it is quite unfortunate.
"Currently, it's temporarily adequate, if not for the existence of Air Walls, my progress would be faster."
Gu Shanhai felt somewhat regretful, in this villa, because it is heavily targeting nails left from the All Ghosts Survival Platform in the human world, the civilization power is exceptionally strong.
He is confident he can complete his Civilization Seed in this world and make it solely into the Peeping Realm.
However, breakthroughs certainly won't happen in this world, the main reason naturally being it's unsuitable.
As an arena, there must be certain existences behind it, and if these existences target Gu Shanhai, he could suffer great misfortune.
It's better to return to the player space of "First Era", at least without worrying about being watched by the eyes of certain existences.
Nor worrying about lack of funding; the world he consumed in the last instance is still not fully expended, having only been digested about ten percent, more than enough to cost for breakthrough.
"Come to think of it, a bit of a loss indeed."
Gu Shanhai suddenly realized, had he discovered this matter in the previous stage, his progress would surely be faster, not rushing like now.
To ensure the Civilization Seed successfully becomes Peeping Realm, Gu Shanhai can only reluctantly pause learning "World's Self-Cultivation" and "When Space Doesn't Pause", naturally prioritizing benefits given such situations, otherwise missing this village means missing the store.
"So I should delay time quickly... Dammit, there's still a Shura, needing sufficient reasons to persuade the Grand Heaven Realm."
Gu Shanhai thought of stalling time.
Yet the Grand Heaven Realm might not agree, considering the Shura is still locked in the BOSS room, without convincing enough reasons to persuade him, at most by tomorrow, this stage will be cleared.
Gu Shanhai certainly cannot outright say he wants to collect civilization power data, such matters involving one's path certainly brings trouble if spoken aloud.
Mainly because the involved level is too high, plus this world isn't simple, the potential troubles wouldn't stop at Gu Shanhai alone, the Grand Heaven Realm might also have to suffer.
