When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 1060 - 383: The Final of Life, The Truth Behind the Harvester’s Descent

They immediately realized something was wrong and tried to escape.

However, it was too late.

When harvesting the shells left in the Main Universe, the Harvester took a day.

But when harvesting the "minds" in the Void Realm, the Harvester took less than a second.

Descent means death!

In the end, only eleven Void Realm Administrators survived.

They didn't do anything special compared to others, yet they managed to survive.

Obviously, the Harvester deliberately spared them.

But why did the Harvester choose to spare them?

The surviving administrators were perplexed.

They questioned loudly, but received no response.

Actually, this was normal.

The Harvester was a giant, and they were ants; giants annihilate ants without concerning themselves with their thoughts or explanations.

However, understanding the thoughts of the Harvester does not mean accepting this reality.

Led by Aijie, the eleven Void Realm Managers vowed to uncover the truth.

They first attempted to return to the Main Universe, hoping to find some clues, but the Void Realm had been exiled by the Harvester, making return impossible.

Fine, if returning is not possible, then we will investigate within the Void Realm.

The Harvester once descended into the Void Realm; we refuse to believe there is no information here to be found.

With the sharp Perception of a genius Researcher, Aijie indeed discovered a problem during the investigation.

With the Harvester's Ability, it was clearly possible to instantly wipe out the shells in the Main Universe like it did in the Void Realm, even faster. But why did the Harvester spend a day?

Aijie concluded that the answer to this question was critical, even more so than the reason the administrators were deliberately spared.

[They might be searching for something or collecting something]

So, what exactly is it?

Aijie called a meeting of all the administrators.

What can be confirmed first is that what the Harvester needed was not related to souls, otherwise, it wouldn't have swept the Void Realm so swiftly.

[What they need is our bodies, and the most valuable thing within our bodies is...]

[The Gene, perhaps]

Aijie's conclusion was Gene. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Based on this conclusion, she reverse-engineered a complete theory on the Harvester's logic—

The Harvester is researching the mysteries of Genes, aiming, most likely, to explore the final chapter of life's Evolution, to make themselves a perfect existence. However, Genes are so profound that even their immense technology cannot calculate a true path to perfection.

They must confront a fundamental inquiry.

What is perfection?

The Harvester doesn't know and can't calculate it, so they changed their approach.

If they can't calculate it, they might as well take a gamble!

In countless experiments, maybe just once they might be incredibly lucky to find the perfect path.

The Harvester's experiments scatter wisdom in the universe and allow these intelligent beings to freely develop, watching as they explore the path of Evolution in the long night, perfecting their Genes.

The Harvester is engaged in an experiment; they certainly won't just let the Experiment reverse and destroy them, hence setting a [Crisis Red Line].

When a civilization established by these disseminated intelligent beings, or any intelligent being among them, touches the [Crisis Red Line] that makes them uneasy, they will immediately descend to harvest it.

[I think, the day the curtain falls and they leave, is the day they assess the outcomes of this experiment, to see if this experiment incidentally birthed the perfect Gene they desire]

[Clearly, the Void Realm Civilization still didn't satisfy them, so they quickly initiated a new round of sowing]

[I speculate that the reason they didn't completely erase traces of Void Civilization and our Void Realm Civilization is to see if some miraculous sparks are struck when the different generations of intelligent beings interact]

[The Evolution of life also requires Inspiration]

Aijie's theory left the other administrators utterly stunned.

They tried to rebut, but after much consideration, they found this theory sufficiently explained all the problems they had encountered so far.

So, is this the truth? Were they simply a batch of Experiments?

Yet if this were the case, then what of vengeance?

The Harvester has already set a red line; if they cross that line, they die, yet without crossing it, they can't exact revenge.

Thus, wouldn't they have no chance for vengeance at all?

Such a truth was utterly despairing.

As the feeling of despair began to spread, Aijie proposed a new viewpoint.

No, the matter is not that simple.

The Harvester plants civilizations with the goal of evolving into a perfect life; hence, the civilizations they plant could not be random scatterings.

[I don't think they would randomly disseminate intelligent beings vastly different from themselves]

[They already don't understand what perfection is, doing so would make their vision of the future even more obscure. Can the path to perfection for these intelligent beings they planted be truly perfect, for them?]

[Thus, I believe their so-called random gambling is actually random upon a "platform" they set up]

[Explanation of this "platform"]

[In my view, the intelligent beings they disseminated—including us—must have a significant portion of their Genes very similar to theirs]

[And this, is our chance!]

Under Aijie's leadership, all eleven administrators began trying every conceivable way to contact the newly emerged intelligent beings outside.

They aimed to guide these intelligent beings to unravel the secrets of their own Genes, subsequently developing weapons effective against the Harvester, ready to attack when the Harvester next descends.

Even if they couldn't completely eliminate the Harvester, they at least wanted the Harvester to see their fury!

Aijie's idea was sound.

However, just as she began contacting the outside intelligent beings, she and the other administrators were struck with a figurative hammer blow.

Their memories related to the effort were erased by an invisible attack, not only their deductions but also what they originally intended to do.

From then on, the eleven administrators became eleven Angel Envoys.

Years later, some Angel Envoys, under subconscious influence, left the Void Realm and descended to the Main Universe.

Information recorded in the program ended here.

Bai Fu blinked in surprise.

After reading the records in the old relic 003 obtained from slaying the Void Lord Gui Ji, she had been wondering why the Harvester planted civilizations and what the purpose of setting the red line was. Aijie's hypothesis answered her questions perfectly.

But even if everything seemed to make sense, she cannot conclude Aijie's conjecture is correct.

Because Aijie had no evidence.

However, considering Aijie and others were suddenly erased from their memories afterward, the conjecture, if not entirely accurate, at least hit on some key points.

"The question now is, why did the Harvester only erase Aijie and others' memories instead of their existence entirely, and why allow the existence of this Mysterious Code recording the truth?"

"Could it be that leaving it behind is no big deal? No, if they truly felt it was insignificant, they wouldn't have erased Aijie and others' memories at the start. Isn't there a possibility..."

Bai Fu looked towards Aijie.

Aijie blurted out: "Was it not the Harvester that erased our memories?!"

Bai Fu nodded; she thought the same.

Only by introducing a third party can these inconsistencies appear reasonable.

Then the question arises; if the truth is really as they imagined, they might have the opportunity to smoothly survive the Harvester's descent crisis, allowing themselves and civilization in the Main Universe to continue.

No matter the intention, the third party is a target worthy of pursuit.

"Quick, check if there's anything else recorded in this program!"

Julia hastily urged.

Bai Fu responded affirmatively and continued to invoke the Void Lord Core and True Spirit Marrow. In the next second, a mechanical voice echoed in her mind.

[Insufficient authority]
