At the same time.
Lu Yuan realized another issue.
Even a native of a Low Martial Modern World could easily discover the existence of the Simulator.
In other, more technologically advanced, or higher combat-capability Immortal Martial Worlds, wouldn't people have long realized this?
Or in those Xuanhuan Worlds where stars are shattered with a single strike, and the heavens are split open with a sword.
The existence of Simulators is no longer a secret.
Just thinking about the possession, manipulation, puppetry, and avatars in those Advanced Worlds.
Lu Yuan felt a chill down his spine.
"Initially, I established this research topic purely out of curiosity."
"Just like Newton discovering the law of universal gravitation, or Einstein discovering relativity."
"People like you have a deadly allure for researchers."
"If we can unravel the mysteries surrounding you, it will surely become the greatest discovery in human history!"
"But later I discovered, the deeper you delve into research, the more you realize the terrifying crisis surrounding your kind!"
Chen Hongyu sighed.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly.
"Eerie."
Chen Hongyu's simple word sent a shockwave through Lu Yuan's pupils.
"What exactly do you know?"
Lu Yuan stared intently at the middle-aged man before him.
Intuition told him.
The information Chen Hongyu was about to reveal would determine the direction of his simulated life.
"Before that, you need to look at some documents first."
"Nova, bring up the top-secret files from the Pentagon."
Chen Hongyu commanded.
The next moment.
A detailed archive was displayed before Lu Yuan in the form of a virtual projection.
"On July 20, 1969, humanity first landed on the Moon, marking a moment in aerospace history."
"Astronaut Amstendant became a household name due to his famous quote, 'That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.'"
"A hundred years later, human technology has undergone transformative change, and with our current aerospace technology, even long-distance interstellar travel is possible."
"But have you ever wondered, why no country has landed on the Moon a second time?"
Chen Hongyu asked.
Lu Yuan couldn't answer.
The technology in this world is very advanced.
Artificial intelligence, digital life, death ray weapons, controlled nuclear fusion, exoskeleton armor…
With current technology, transforming the Moon into a space colony would be feasible.
But think carefully.
Since the first moon landing.
Every government has been deeply secretive about lunar activities and has secretly ceased all outer space exploration projects.
As if they feared something!
"After Apollo's successful moon landing, the Lighthouse Country's space lab discovered a mysterious energy in the lunar soil they brought back."
"Under the radiation of this mysterious energy, all biological beings would exhibit varying degrees of genetic mutation!"
"Moreover, this mysterious energy penetrates all barriers and materials, with no known method to contain it."
"It can only be studied once the energy is completely depleted."
"At that time, researchers dubbed it Dark Energy, meaning it brings despair and destruction."
Chen Hongyu pulled up several video clips.
In the video.
A grotesquely deformed, twisted humanoid monster, drooling a foul-smelling drool, was ferociously attacking a military base.
After sacrificing hundreds of soldiers, the Lighthouse Country finally killed the monster.
But few knew.
The monster in the video was actually the well-known moon landing hero!
"So this is why you're afraid to go to the Moon?"
Lu Yuan looked at the monster with a grim expression.
Merely the emanated Dark Energy could twist ordinary biological beings into grotesque monsters.
This signified.
The eerie source has terrifying power.
In the face of such high-tier eeriness, Lu Yuan had no chance of survival.
Only an Advanced Simulator could confront it!
"No."
Chen Hongyu shook his head.
"If Dark Energy only existed on the Moon, it wouldn't be enough to stop all countries from exploring space."
"But after paying great cost and conducting numerous experiments and data analysis."
"We despairingly discovered that the Sun is actually the source of all Dark Energy!"
As he spoke.
Chen Hongyu pulled up another audio file.
"This is Voyager 1, capturing magnetic fluctuations near the Sun's orbit."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After conversion, the magnetic fluctuations turned into a dull heartbeat sound.
This heartbeat was deep and powerful.
Like the resonating toll of a church bell at dusk.
Ancient and majestic, instilling a feeling of reverence and awe!
Just by hearing this heartbeat.
Lu Yuan could confidently say.
Deep within the Sun, some terrifying ancient entity is definitely slumbering!
"Even more despairing is that since the Sun was eroded by Dark Energy, it is rapidly distorting, and soon this Dark Energy will radiate the entire Solar System!"
Hearing this sentence.
Lu Yuan felt as though he'd fallen into an ice cave.
With an overwhelming urge to make an immediate escape.
Radiate the entire Solar System?
What does that even mean?
This is something that only Tier Seven King or even Tier Eight eerie could achieve!
To this day.
Lu Yuan still remembered the advice given by his teacher to all students back in class.
Tier One eerie, proceed with caution.
Tier Two eerie, live stealthily.
Tier Three eerie, pray for luck.
As for Tier Four eerie.
At this point.
The teacher paused for a moment, looked terrified, and swallowed nervously.
If your first simulated life in the reincarnation world encounters eeriness above Tier Four.
Run!
Run immediately!
End the simulation by taking your own life.
Do not harbor any illusions!
If even Tier Four eerie can be so formidable.
And here I am, a rookie who hasn't even left the beginner's village.
You expect me to face a Tier Seven King eerie?
That is an existence that could rival the World Will!
If that eerie ever awakens.
Not to mention myself.
Even if the Heavenly Dao Will of this world were present, it would likely be defeated at that time!
Lu Yuan was so furious he almost cursed the entire Will of the Heavens family.
Until this moment.
He finally understood what Hell Level simulation difficulty meant.
But thinking carefully.
He calmed down once more.
The description in the life script states that the world is about to face dark erosion.
This means.
The Tier Seven eerie is still dormant, not yet awakened.
Otherwise, once it fully awakens.
The entire Solar System would be distorted, and no one would survive.
Upon realizing this.
Lu Yuan changed his strategy.
Every day he lingered in this world added to the danger.
He needed to achieve a high rating quickly and end the simulation.
And if he guessed correctly.
The breakthrough point for this simulated reincarnation.
Is likely connected to Chen Hongyu and his repeatedly mentioned Ark Plan!
