Chapter 520: 489 Little Bowl’s Clue 1

The man in front of me mentioned "Old Civilization," "Doomsday," and "forget," which made me feel that my previous speculations were quickly becoming reality.

His subsequent words further confirmed my belief.

"It seems you have been overly corrupted by Frenzy, losing too many memories." The man looked at me with sympathetic eyes. "No wonder you don’t know even this level of common sense, and are acting alone... Have you even lost your old partners? Do you still remember your name?"

As he spoke, his initial wariness seemed to have regained a little, as if he would base his subsequent attitude on my reply.

He actually mentioned "Frenzy"... It seems I really have crossed into the Doomsday Era. As for his heightened vigilance at this moment, it wasn’t without reason.

In the Doomsday Era, if you can’t even say your name, it means you’re close to Sin demonization. That is undoubtedly a dangerous person, akin to being close to zombification in a zombie movie, survivors would definitely heighten their alertness.

To ensure smooth communication afterward and as a test, I replied: "Are you worried I will undergo Sin demonization? Don’t worry, I remember my name. I am Zhuang Cheng."

The man showed no confusion about the term "Sin Demon," but instead asked: "Do you still remember Sin Demon?"

"I don’t know what Sin Demon is. It’s just that losing your name will turn you into Sin Demon... When you asked earlier if I remembered my name, I suddenly recalled this matter." I pointed to the strange thing nailed to the exterior wall of the jump tower not far away. "Is Sin Demon referring to this thing?"

"No, Sin Demon doesn’t look like this. This should just be a strange entity wandering nearby."

The man slightly approached the strange entity, and the latter struggled like a cockroach pinned to the wall.

After careful observation, the man’s expression slightly changed, and he said: "It seems I’ve heard of this type of strange entity elsewhere... It seems to be targeting you. You’ve really encountered something troublesome."

"Troublesome?" I was curious, "What is special about this strange entity?"

The most special thing is that my Power of Word Spirit, when targeting it, inexplicably failed to activate. But this should have nothing to do with the entity itself.

During this brief period, I did some analysis. The reason why the Power of Word Spirit fails to take effect is likely due to the chaotic temporal and spatial environment. Essentially, the Power of Word Spirit is the privilege of Impermanence in the natural world, established upon the order of heaven and earth.

Unlike eusocial organisms like ants and bees that can biologically determine social hierarchy, where higher-ranking individuals can neurologically control lower-ranking ones through pheromones, human societal rulers and subordinates are of the same biological level. However, ancient kings could command their subjects to fight for them, or even go to their deaths. This is the power of order.

Once detached from order, a king is merely a human with bare hands, and when stripped naked, there’s no difference from other humans. Similarly, Impermanence, once detached from the natural order of heaven and earth, is merely a singularly powerful lifeform that cannot command All Things through language.

The Doomsday Era is a chaotic world where social and natural orders have both been shattered. Not only Power of Word Spirit but even Fatian Xiangdi probably cannot be executed here. After all, even the primal natural order evolved over billions of years has collapsed, so the so-called power of "rewriting heavenly laws, reshaping earthly images" of Impermanence cannot be counted on.

In the past, Little Bowl mentioned in the Void Realm that her Right Positioning Heavenly Phenomena also had many limitations in the Doomsday Era. The most important ability, "the capability to communicate with the natural world," faced the greatest restriction because according to her, if the world is metaphorically a giant lifeform, it is actually already dead or dying in the Doomsday Era, unable to respond normally to her calling.

She can only barely hear some vague voices one-sidedly, unable to decipher their meanings, which might not have any meaning at all. All she perceives is a chaotic, seemingly delirious mumbling.

Due to the excessive limitations on power, Mazao from the past even never realized that Little Bowl possessed special abilities.

Considering these characteristics, I am fully convinced I am in the Doomsday Era.

Returning to the topic, upon hearing my inquiry about the strange entity, the man generously provided an answer.

"First of all, the most special characteristic of this strange entity is that it won’t die." He said, "It seems to live in the memory of the witness, as long as the witness remembers it, it will resurrect again and again, appearing before the witness.

"Secondly, it persistently attempts to prey on those who see it, with a high frequency of resurrection, randomly attacking the witness several to more than ten times in a day, possibly even more... Don’t ask me how long a day is, I calculate a day based on each interval of sleep. Other survivors might have abandoned this time unit or might be using other methods to calculate."
