Hearing Lu Heng’s affirmative response now, he nodded and agreed, "Understood, since we need to delve deeper, we can try to help them search for the lost item."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Do we know what was lost by the Zero Civilization?"
Although it can’t be completely certain yet, Lu Heng already has an answer in his mind. The lost item of the Zero Civilization might be the Reincarnation Source Material.
The Reincarnation Source Material is not Class Source Material, but belongs to Divine Attribute, and the contained Strength is higher than ordinary Divine Attribute.
Lu Heng had encountered this kind of Reincarnation Source Material before, and knew it was what the Zero Civilization was looking for.
However, this information cannot be revealed.
With the capabilities of the Zero Civilization, perhaps that group of white light is eavesdropping on the conversation of the four people right now.
So far, the Zero Civilization has not mentioned the four words "Reincarnation Source Material." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥
If Lu Heng says these four words now, explaining it to the three teammates would be a small problem; explaining it to the Zero Civilization would be a big problem.
Therefore, Lu Heng needs to wait for that group of white light to appear again, communicate with it, and then determine what to do next.
The four concluded their discussion and each went back to rest.
Lu Heng took out his phone and dialed Qi Jinhui’s number:
"Has the missing warrior been found?"
Qi Jinhui replied, "Found, currently in a coma, the doctors are conducting examinations, and temporarily, the vital signs are normal."
Lu Heng continued, "It can basically be confirmed that the Zero Civilization has appeared."
Qi Jinhui followed up, "Did you see them?"
Lu Heng replied affirmatively, "Yes, I encountered them. When the Zero Civilization appears, there will be a glaring white light. It’s uncertain if it’s a biological entity or just an energy form of white light.
"Currently, there are three pieces of information to be concerned about, first, the Zero Civilization lost a very important item.
"The Zero Civilization appeared on Blue Star just to find this lost item.
"Second, the Zero Civilization will investigate all the Summoners who have been to the Zero Civilization, no one can escape their capability.
"Third, the Zero Civilization won’t harm Summoners as long as you prove that you haven’t stolen anything from the Zero Civilization.
"Therefore, I suggest that Summoners who have been to the Zero Civilization, upon encountering the white light, communicate with them in a normal manner and try not to attack."
After listening, Qi Jinhui agreed, "Understood. Do you have any thoughts on what the Zero Civilization has lost?"
Lu Heng replied, "I don’t have any thoughts for now, but I volunteered to help them find the lost item, so they should come to me again."
Qi Jinhui further inquired, "According to the Zero Civilization’s records, not only humans were summoned, but Bloodline Demons too. According to your statement, would the Zero Civilization also investigate the Bloodline Demons?"
Lu Heng confirmed, "Yes, theoretically, but the Bloodline Demons are in the Abyss World and have Abyssal protection behind them. I’m not sure if the Zero Civilization has the ability to demonstrate Strength in the Abyss World."
The Zero Civilization can appear on Blue Star, one reason is that Blue Star hasn’t yet shown high-level extraordinary powers.
To the Zero Civilization, the current Human World is a low-class world.
The way the Zero Civilization sees humans might be similar to how humans view bacteria under a microscope.
However, the Bloodline Demons’ world is different, it is a world shrouded by the Abyss.
Whether the Zero Civilization can penetrate the Abyss World at will is still unknown.
After finishing the call with Qi Jinhui, Lu Heng thought of another person.
Yuan Yaoyao was also summoned to the Zero Civilization, although she went earlier, it’s likely she would be targeted by the white light.
So Lu Heng called her to remind her to be careful: "The Zero Civilization has appeared. If you encounter a glaring white light, don’t panic, communicate with them properly."
Yuan Yaoyao exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Lu, are you worried about me?"
Lu Heng was slightly speechless, "Could you focus on the right point? I’m telling you that the Zero Civilization might find you."
Yuan Yaoyao nonchalantly said, "If they look for me, they’re quite generous. If they find me again, could I demand compensation? If I get another Skill Slot Crystal Core, I’ll give it to you."
Lu Heng couldn’t fathom her thought process, and after exchanging a few more words, he ended the call.
Lu Heng lay on the bed, recalling the day’s events.
Especially the process of seeing the white light, meticulously recalling each detail, attempting to guess what the white light was composed of.
As midnight approached, the room lit up with a glow.
Lu Heng’s heart raced wildly, shielding his eyes with his hand, trying to adapt to the sudden glaring white light.
At the moment the white light appeared, the surrounding space seemed to be enveloped by a bubble, creating a unique suffocating sensation.
Calling it suffocating isn’t accurate, as he could still breathe with no sign of oxygen deprivation, but the air felt like it had "hardness."
Once Lu Heng adjusted to the light, he removed his hand, attempting to see the object within the white light.
This time, what appeared within the white light wasn’t humanoid, but a bizarre rune shape.
As predicted, humanoid white light wasn’t a fixed characteristic of the Zero Civilization’s appearance; the white light could be any shape.
Lu Heng proactively asked, "Have you still not found your lost item?"
The white light transmitted a distant voice, "No, it hasn’t been found."
Lu Heng asked, "Have all the Summoners on Blue Star who have been to the Zero Civilization been investigated?"
The white light answered, "Yes, all have been checked."
Lu Heng pursued the topic, "As far as I know, your civilization also returns Abyss Summoners. According to the Summoning rules, we humans belong to the Alliance Summoners, while the Abyss Summoners are adversaries to you.
"From this logic, your lost item was more likely taken by the Abyss Demon."
The white light said, "Until an event is observed, it presents in a superposition of ’yes’ and ’no’ states; probability is pseudo-science researched from observed phenomena, just like your classical mechanics."
As the boundaries of science expand, humans have indeed discovered limitations in classical mechanics.
Lu Heng couldn’t help but quip, "Can you communicate in a manner understandable by a 0.8-level civilization?"
The white light said, "Yes, your civilization level is indeed very low, but its structure is benign."
Hearing a Demigod Civilization evaluate human civilization made Lu Heng a bit speechless.
Now isn’t the time to discuss such matters; Lu Heng brought the conversation back to the main topic: "You came to me, presumably needing my help, right? Let me guess, entering the Abyss World isn’t that easy for you."
The white light said, "You’re very clever, I even suspect you might be concealing other information."
Lu Heng quickly diverted the topic, "I roughly understand your purpose, you want me to enter the Abyss World to help find your lost item."
The white light said, "Sort of, but I’m not informed about your capabilities. If you can find the lost item, it’s naturally good, but if you lack the capability, you can choose to help me enter the Abyss World."
Lu Heng raised an eyebrow, asking, "Since you need my assistance, I need to understand the whole matter. First question, what did you lose?"
This question surely needs clarification; after all, to help the Zero Civilization find the lost item, knowing what to search for is essential.
The white light fell silent and did not immediately answer the question.
Lu Heng chuckled, reminding, "You should be aware that the Abyss Demon who took this item probably knows what it is. Hiding information from me about the item is meaningless now."
The white light answered, "In your language, the lost item is called [Reincarnation Source Material], an entity with a Rank higher than Divine Attribute."
Lu Heng took a deep breath; the situation was indeed as he anticipated. The Zero Civilization indeed lost the [Reincarnation Source Material].
The Reincarnation Source Material dispute event from the past life is happening again.
