After the white light disappeared, Lu Heng walked to the position where the white light had been, reaching out to feel the traces left by the white light in the air. No residual temperature, very peculiar. Normally, such a bright light would cause at least a slight temperature change in the air. However, the place where the white light just lingered didn’t emit any heat. This white light was a cold light, or more accurately, a light without specific temperature characteristics. Lin Zeyu fell to the ground, rubbed his butt, and after realizing what happened, he quickly jumped up and said, "Lu Heng, something happened. I’ve been targeted by a terrifying presence, and I couldn’t move at all just now." Lu Heng turned back to look at him and asked, "You don’t even know what the white light just now was?" Lin Zeyu replied matter-of-factly, "I couldn’t see what it was, okay? I seemed to be controlled, neither my mind nor body was under my own control. "That white light asked me a few questions, then... then... it seemed to just disappear. "I thought I was done for. From the questions it asked, it seems related to the Zero Civilization. It seems like the Zero Civilization lost something." Su Muyu and Xie Shi’en also arrived one after the other, asking, "What happened?" Before coming in, Su Muyu had already used the Qingluan Divine Bird to confirm the surrounding situation and found no suspicious targets. The white light had disappeared, Lin Zeyu wasn’t injured, the threat was temporarily lifted. Lu Heng took a step back into the living room and said, "Let’s sit down. The Zero Civilization has entered our world." Lin Zeyu, still with a frightened expression, began describing the white light he saw to Su Muyu and Xie Shi’en, painting it as something very terrifying. After he finished speaking, Lu Heng added: "It’s not just us; the superpower soldiers from the Southern War Zone who were summoned to the Zero Civilization probably also encountered a similar white light. "This kind of white light is characteristic of the Zero Civilization’s activities, but it can’t be determined what that white light actually is. "There is too little information about the Zero Civilization; we only know it’s a demigod civilization, but what type of civilization it is remains unclear. "The white light might be an individual of the Zero Civilization, or it could be a phenomenon that appears when the Zero Civilization emerges. "From what we know so far, the Zero Civilization lost an important object, causing trouble within their civilization. "A civilization as closed-off as the Zero Civilization leaving their original world to search for this lost object shows how important it is to them. "According to the Zero Civilization’s behavioral logic, they will investigate every Summoner who has been to the Zero World. "Both Lin Zeyu and I have encountered the white light; you two haven’t yet, so the white light is likely to come looking for you." Lu Heng said this, looking at Su Muyu and Xie Shi’en. Su Muyu nodded and answered, "Alright, I understand. If I encounter the white light, what do I need to do?" Lu Heng considered for a moment and asked, "First, there’s something to confirm: Did you take anything from the Zero Civilization besides the compensation?" Su Muyu slowly shook her head and replied, "No, before being summoned there, you already briefed us about the Zero Civilization. I just followed their requirements and stayed thirty days before teleporting back." Xie Shi’en added, "I didn’t take anything else either." Lu Heng asked this because he was worried the incident might be related to his team. If one of his teammates had indeed taken something from the Zero Civilization, things would become very complicated. Lin Zeyu chimed in, "If I had really taken something from the Zero Civilization, I definitely would have shown it off when I got back." Lu Heng thought while speaking, "Next, let’s talk about how to respond if you encounter the white light. "First, this white light possesses extremely strong power, capable of immobilizing space, and resisting will only make things more troublesome. "Since we haven’t taken anything from the Zero Civilization, there’s nothing to worry about; just communicate normally. "If anything unexpected happens during communication, you can voluntarily offer to help the Zero Civilization find their lost object. "The Zero Civilization hasn’t found all the Summoners who have been to the Zero World at the same time; they’re investigating one by one, which suggests they sent out a limited number of individuals for this task. "In such a case, if someone is willing to help them, they should be more cordial." Xie Shi’en reflected for a moment and asked, "Should we delve deeply into this matter? In theory, we didn’t steal anything from the Zero Civilization, so this matter shouldn’t be related to us. "If we don’t want more encounters with the Zero Civilization, we can choose to avoid this matter, just proving we didn’t take their things should be enough." This is a rather serious question. Should we delve deeply into contact with the Zero Civilization? If it were someone else, they might choose to avoid this issue, but Lu Heng could not. Lu Heng remembered that the item the Zero Civilization was seeking was the Reincarnation Source Material. And Lu Heng had regenerated to the eve of the Abyss Descent after coming into contact with the Reincarnation Source Material. That is to say, in his previous life, Lu Heng had already had deep contact with the Zero Civilization, and if he wanted to understand the essence of the Zero Civilization, he would inevitably have to continue the contact. Lu Heng understood Xie Shi’en’s concern, and after pondering for a moment, replied, "My thinking is to continue engaging with the Zero Civilization, first to understand this civilization’s essence, and then to find ways to combat the Abyss from the Zero Civilization." Xie Shi’en voiced no objections; he asked the question merely to clarify the nature of the incident. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
