Chapter 63 The Forgotten Tyrant's Memory Erasure Plan! The Cruelest Trial of the Eternal Evolution Journey!
After the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom left the Emotion Civilization, they sailed through the starry sky.
This time, Lin Feng did not ponder the revelations of the trial, nor did he think about the enemy's weaknesses. He was simply feeling—his own memories were disappearing.
At first, he thought it was just exhaustion after the trial. But soon, he realized it was a true disappearance of memory.
He forgot whether the first stop of the Journey of Eternal Evolution was the Consciousness Civilization or the Mechanical Civilization. He forgot the names of Tian Jian and Li Xue. He forgot what Earth was, what the universe was, and even—who he was.
"Lin Feng," Li Xue's voice carried an unprecedented fear, "Did you... did you forget?"
"Forget?" Lin Feng looked at Li Xue, but in his eyes, there was not a trace of recognition, "Who are you?"
"I am Li Xue!" Li Xue trembled, "I am the scientific advisor of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, I am your partner!"
"Li Xue..." Lin Feng repeated the name, "This name... it's so familiar, yet so strange..."
Just then, Tian Jian rushed in.
"Lin Feng!" Tian Jian's voice was filled with fear, "I've forgotten who I am!"
"Who are you?" Lin Feng looked at Tian Jian; there was not a trace of recognition in his eyes.
"I am Tian Jian!" Tian Jian gripped his weapon tightly, "I am a warrior of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, I am... I am..." Tian Jian suddenly stopped, "Who am I, exactly?"
At that moment, Li Xue also walked in, her face pale.
"Lin Feng..." Li Xue's voice trembled, "I've discovered a... despair-inducing civilization signal."
"Civilization signal?" Lin Feng repeated, but in his eyes, there was not a trace of understanding.
"Yes," Li Xue operated the sensors, "The sensors show—the memories of the Multiverse are disappearing."
"Memories disappearing?" Tian Jian was shocked, "What do you mean?"
"It means all memories of this universe are disappearing," Li Xue explained, "History, knowledge, experience—all memories are vanishing bit by bit. At first, one type of memory disappeared per day, but now, countless types are vanishing every second."
"Countless types of memories..." Tian Jian's face was pale, "At this rate, all memories in the entire Multiverse will disappear within three days."
"Three days..." Li Xue's voice shook, "By then, all living beings will become a blank sheet of paper."
"A blank sheet..." Lin Feng said calmly, "We must go."
But in Lin Feng's voice, there was not a trace of memory.
Memory Civilization: The Forgotten Universe
When the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom arrived at the Memory Civilization Galaxy, everyone was completely shocked by the sight before them.
It wasn't a patch of darkness, nor was it distorted space, but rather—an absolute absence of memory.
All the stars were burning, but not a single star could remember its own age. All the planets were rotating, but not a single planet could remember its own history. All the living beings were acting, but not a single living being could remember its own existence.
This wasn't just the disappearance of memory; it was the absolute rule of oblivion.
"This is the Memory Civilization..." Li Xue looked at the sensors, her face as white as paper, "Memories are disappearing frantically. At first, one type of memory disappeared per day, but now, countless types are vanishing every second."
"Not only that." Lin Feng looked toward the center of the galaxy, his eyes showing no emotion, "The Oblivion Vortex there is expanding frantically, at a speed one hundred billion times the speed of light."
"One hundred billion times the speed of light..." Tian Jian was shocked, "This has already broken through the absolute limits of Memory Structures."
"Yes," Lin Feng said calmly, "It is no longer bound by any memory laws and can erase all memories of the universe at will."
"Erasing memories at will..." Li Xue repeated.
"At this rate, all memories in the entire Multiverse will disappear within three days," Lin Feng continued, "Including us. Including our history, knowledge, experience—all memories."
"All memories..." Tian Jian repeated, "Then... will we still be alive?"
"Alive?" Lin Feng said calmly, "Alive, but no longer with memories."
Just then, the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom received a communication.
It was not a voice, nor was it a wave of consciousness, but rather—cold Oblivion Ripples.
[Memory... is a burden on existence... Oblivion... is the only path to civilization's progress...]
The Oblivion Ripples were filled with absolute coldness, as if the entire civilization had already forgotten all its memories.
[I am the Memory Eraser... the Oblivion Tyrant of the Level 14 Civilization... the Memory Eraser of the Multiverse...]
"A Level 14 Civilization?" Lin Feng asked without emotion.
[Yes... I have broken through the absolute limits of the level 13 civilization... ascending to a Level 14 Civilization... possessing the absolute power to erase memories...]
"The power of a Level 14 Civilization..." Tian Jian looked at Lin Feng and found that he had no expression.
"A Level 14 Civilization can erase memories at will," Lin Feng said calmly, "They can erase the universe's history, knowledge, experience—all memories—at will. This power far exceeds that of a level 13 civilization."
"Far exceeds a level 13 civilization..." Li Xue's voice did not tremble, because she had already forgotten fear.
[Memory is a burden on existence, an obstacle to civilization evolution. Only absolute oblivion can allow a civilization to reach a state of perfection. Therefore, I must erase all memories within the Multiverse and create a perfect universe of absolute oblivion.]
"Memory is a burden on existence..." Lin Feng repeated, but in his voice, there was not a trace of doubt.
[Yes... Memory leads to the shackles of the past and affects the development of civilization. Only absolute oblivion can allow a civilization to be completely liberated and reach the highest level.]
At that moment, the Memory Eraser suddenly launched an attack.
This was not an ordinary energy attack, but rather—a Memory Erasure Attack.
Instantly, Lin Feng felt his memories disappearing. One second ago, he still remembered the nine trials of the Journey of Eternal Evolution; the next second, he forgot those trials; and the second after that, he completely forgot what the Journey of Eternal Evolution even was.
"This is... a Memory Erasure Attack..." Lin Feng was shocked, but there was no fear in his shock, "It is erasing all my memories..."
Then, the Memory Eraser continued to attack, but this time it wasn't targeting Lin Feng, but the memories of the entire Eternal Divine Kingdom.
Instantly, Li Xue forgot all her knowledge, Tian Jian forgot all his combat experience, and all the crew members forgot all their memories.
"No..." Within Lin Feng's body, the nine civilization evolution cores vibrated simultaneously, "You cannot lose your memories..."
Golden energy erupted from Lin Feng's body, rushing toward all the crew members to restore their memories.
"Nine civilization evolution cores..." Lin Feng panted, "I can only barely resist..."
The Memory Eraser sneered: [Eternal Evolver... you have only nine civilization evolution cores... how can you resist the power of a Level 14 Civilization...]
Lin Feng clenched his teeth, but his teeth did not draw blood because he could not find anger—because he had forgotten what anger was.
Power of Eternal Evolution: The Truth of Memory
"Nine civilization evolution cores are enough." Lin Feng stood up again, but in his eyes, there was not a trace of fire.
[Nine... how can you resist a Level 14...]
"Because the Power of Eternal Evolution is not a simple stacking of strength, but rather—the understanding of laws," Lin Feng's voice was cold, "I have undergone nine trials and understood nine different types of the third balance. These understandings allow my Power of Eternal Evolution to transcend the limits of levels."
"Transcending the limits of levels..." Tian Jian said, but there was no excitement in his voice.
"Yes." Lin Feng looked at the Memory Eraser, "Memory is not a burden on existence; memory is the foundation of civilization. Memory needs the filtering of oblivion, and oblivion needs the preservation of memory; the two fulfill each other and are both indispensable."
[Memory needs the filtering of oblivion, and oblivion needs the preservation of memory; the two fulfill each other...]
The Memory Eraser's voice began to fluctuate, as if contemplating this statement.
"Yes," Lin Feng continued, "Oblivion without memory is void, hollow, and meaningless. Memory without oblivion is a burden, a shackle, and prevents progress. Only by combining the two can a true civilization be created."
[Oblivion without memory is void... Memory without oblivion is a burden... Only by combining the two...]
The Memory Eraser's voice became even more confused, and the Oblivion Vortex began to oscillate violently.
"Your faith is not in erasing memories," Lin Feng said firmly, "Your faith is in understanding the essence of memory. The essence of memory is not a burden on existence, but the foundation of civilization. Memory and oblivion should fulfill each other, not oppose each other."
[A misunderstanding of the essence of memory... the Memory Eraser has misunderstood memory...]
The Memory Eraser's voice grew weaker and weaker, as if it were undergoing some internal collapse.
At that moment, the nine civilization evolution cores within Lin Feng's body began to resonate.
"Power of Eternal Evolution—Memory Eraser Faith Correction! Manifestation of the Essence of Memory!"
Following Lin Feng's voice, a massive surge of golden energy poured out of his body and rushed toward the Memory Eraser.
This golden energy was like a pair of gentle palms, enveloping the entire Oblivion Vortex. Under the guidance of the Power of Eternal Evolution, the Memory Eraser's tyranny of oblivion began to dissipate, and its erroneous faith was corrected bit by bit.
Essence of Memory: The Perfect Combination of Oblivion and Remembrance
As the Memory Eraser's faith was corrected, the Memory Eraser underwent a massive transformation.
It was no longer a cold existence of oblivion, but a beautiful existence of memory—like a transparent memory lifeform, neither matter nor energy, but a state of pure memory.
[I... remember now...]
The Memory Eraser's voice was no longer cold oblivion, but a gentle and profound memory.
[The essence of memory... is not a burden on existence... but the foundation of civilization... Memory needs the filtering of oblivion, and oblivion needs the preservation of memory; the two fulfill each other...]
"Yes." Lin Feng smiled for the first time, "Memory is not a burden on existence, but the life of a civilization. Without memory, a civilization is just a blank sheet of paper. With memory, a civilization can have history, culture, and heritage."
[I understand now... the faith of the Memory Eraser... led me to mistakenly believe that memory was a burden on existence... but that is not the essence of memory... that was the Memory Eraser's misunderstanding...]
"The faith has been corrected," Lin Feng smiled, "The essence of memory has manifested."
[The Memory Eraser's misunderstanding... has been corrected... the essence of memory... has manifested...]
The Memory Eraser looked at the surrounding memory space, its eyes filled with new light.
[What I see is no longer the void of oblivion... but the richness of memory... Memory is not the enemy... but the foundation of a civilization's existence...]
"Not only that," Lin Feng continued, "Now, I will help you find the third balance—the perfect combination of oblivion and remembrance."
[The perfect combination of oblivion and remembrance...]
Enlightenment flickered in the Memory Eraser's eyes.
[Oblivion needs the preservation of remembrance, just as night needs the light of day. Remembrance needs the filtering of oblivion, just as day needs the rest of night. The two fulfill each other, both are indispensable, and together they create eternal memory.]
"This is the third balance," Lin Feng praised, "The perfect combination of oblivion and remembrance, the mutual fulfillment of filtering, preservation, and rest."
Memory Civilization: From Void to Richness
As the essence of memory manifested, the entire Memory Civilization began a true transformation.
The disappearance of memories stopped, and the Oblivion Vortex ceased its expansion, instead beginning to stabilize. Oblivion was no longer the tyrant of the universe, but the filter of the universe's existence.
The members of the Memory Civilization were no longer victims of oblivion erasure, but a special kind of lifeform that perfectly combined oblivion and remembrance—possessing both the preservation of remembrance and the filtering of oblivion.
[We... are no longer the tyrants of oblivion erasure... we are the guardians of the essence of memory...]
The Memory Eraser said excitedly, but this time his excitement contained true memory.
"Not only that," Li Xue looked at the data on the sensors, "The third balance of oblivion and remembrance has given the Memory Civilization unprecedented power. Oblivion is no longer a cold rule, but a gentle filtering of memory."
"A gentle filtering..." Tian Jian praised, his voice once again containing combat experience.
"This is the true power of the third balance," Lin Feng smiled, "Oblivion and remembrance are not opposites, but fulfill each other. Remembrance needs the filtering of oblivion, and oblivion needs the preservation of remembrance."
[Thank you... thank you...] the Memory Eraser said excitedly, [Not only did you correct my faith... but you also allowed the essence of memory... to truly manifest...]
"It is our honor," Lin Feng said gently, "Helping all civilizations find the third balance is our mission."
At that moment, all members of the Memory Civilization began a true evolution.
Remembrance began to preserve, and oblivion began to filter; the two promoted each other and progressed together. The Memory Civilization transformed from a victim of oblivion erasure into a Memory Civilization that perfectly combined oblivion and remembrance.
More importantly, Lin Feng felt a new power—the Memory Civilization Core, the tenth civilization evolution core.
Journey of Eternal Evolution: Tenth Stop Completed
When the fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom left the Memory Civilization, all the members of the Memory Civilization came to see them off.
They were no longer cold existences of oblivion, but a beautiful, rich, and wise civilization that combined oblivion and remembrance.
[Thank you,] the Memory Eraser said, [You will forever be friends of our Memory Civilization.]
"We are your friends as well," Lin Feng smiled, "The Eternal Divine Kingdom will continue to help all civilizations in need."
"So, where is your next stop?" the Memory Eraser asked curiously.
"The next civilization that needs help." Lin Feng looked at the starry sky, his eyes once again holding memories of the universe, "Our Journey of Eternal Evolution has only just begun."
**[Good luck to you!]** the entire Memory Civilization said in unison.
"Good luck to you too," Lin Feng waved goodbye, "May memory forever be the foundation of civilization."
The fleet of the Eternal Divine Kingdom set sail once more, heading into the depths of the starry sky.
This was the tenth stop of the Journey of Eternal Evolution. Lin Feng had corrected the Memory Eraser's faith and helped the Memory Civilization find the third balance of oblivion and remembrance.
In the trials of the first ten stops, Lin Feng had saved:
Consciousness Civilization (Balance between individual and whole)
Mechanical Civilization (Balance between hardware and software)
Flesh Civilization (Balance between genes and soul)
Energy Civilization (Balance between energy and conservation)
Void Civilization (Balance between nothingness and existence)
Causality Civilization (Balance between cause and effect)
Dimensional Civilization (Balance between low and high dimensions)
Time Civilization (Balance between past, present, and future)
Emotion Civilization (Balance between rationality and emotion)
Memory Civilization (Balance between oblivion and remembrance)
Ten different types of civilizations, ten different third balances, ten different trials of laws.
But more importantly, what Lin Feng faced at the tenth stop was a powerful enemy from a Level 14 Civilization. The Memory Eraser's power far exceeded Lin Feng's, but Lin Feng used the Power of Eternal Evolution to correct its faith and help it find the third balance.
The Journey of Eternal Evolution is not only about helping other civilizations find the third balance, but also a gamble of faiths with powerful enemies.
And Lin Feng, this Level 12 Civilization powerhouse who had already fused ten civilization evolution cores, though only from a Level 12 Civilization, used his wisdom to help a Level 14 Civilization find the third balance.
