Chapter 1329: Chapter 585: Gusha and Mirage Tapir_2

Moreover, before entering the hibernation pod, one could choose to copy their consciousness data and retain it, continuing to enjoy a beautiful life eternally in the world of programs, which for some, was actually a benefit.

As for the specific selection of personnel, Mu You handed over the responsibility to Lin Xue, the Deputy City Lord, to handle in full authority, while he stayed in the Star Spirit World, with some matters still needing attention.

Mu You had now changed back to his original body and, after being injected with a newly produced Vaccine, descended directly into the Abyss. At this moment, he was being led by Ava to look for Maccioli, which is the ashes of Taurus.

Taurus’s ashes were laid to rest in a place called the Ancestral Garden, where the remains of all beings who perished in the wars during the chaotic times of Eden were buried. It was also a site where the beings of Eden commemorated and paid homage to their ancestors on certain holidays.

On the way to the Ancestral Garden, Mu You suddenly stopped, turning his head to look at a row of mechanical devices not far away.

"Is this... your pollution filtration system?"

Mu You approached curiously.

Before him was a row of oddly-shaped mechanical pipes that extended towards the high skies at their ends, reaching into the clouds.

Beneath the pipes were a series of intricately interlocking mechanical instruments, connected to a row of transparent tubular devices below.

In the midst of these transparent devices were placed hexagonal crystals, each about the size of an adult’s fist.

Mu You immediately recognized these crystals – weren’t they the Forest Spirit Cores? Only, these were larger than the ordinary Forest Spirit Cores by a whole size.

Taurus had previously explained that during the chaotic periods of battles in Eden, due to the beings being under continuous oppression and the rampage of Black Magical Power, the mechanical beings, in order to eliminate the pollution within Eden, copied the structure of the Forest Spirits to create some pollution filtration devices. These devices extracted pollution from Eden and expelled it into the Star Spirit World.

Now it seemed these were the very devices.

"Yes, these are replicas made by replicating the core of the Forest Spirit, possessing an absorption feature for pollution not inferior to the Heart of the Forest Spirit. However, we can only copy the core but not the Forest Spirit’s ability to resolve pollution, so the absorbed pollution can only be discharged into the Star Spirit World," said Ava.

"May I take one of these Crystal Cores with me?" Mu You suddenly asked.

The reason he asked was that the Heart of the Forest Spirit he had before was destroyed in the battle against the main brain upon arriving in Eden. He needed to return a new one to the Forest Spirit.

"Of course. These pure Crystal Cores can be mass-produced. Moreover, after transferring the Vaccine to you, the Fool, these pollution devices have essentially become useless. In the future, it is the Forgotten Land that will need to absorb pollution," Ava said.

"That’s good."

Mu You stepped forward and took a Crystal Core, which at this point only contained a minuscule amount of pollution.

Since these could be mass-produced, they would indeed be useful to distribute on Earth to absorb future Black Magical Power pollution. The absorbed pollution wouldn’t need to be expelled but rather stored, eventually serving as the energy source for Eugene’s conversion device for electricity generation.

Next, Mu You entered the Ancestral Garden and, under Ava’s guidance, found the burial site of Taurus’s ashes and unearthed them.

Not long after the box containing the ashes was dug up, Taurus’s soul felt something amiss from above the Abyss and quickly descended, appearing in front of the two after a short while.

"Maccioli, it’s been a long time," Ava was the first to speak, exchanging pleasantries.

"So you’re saying, that at that time, you were the one who woke me up?" Taurus looked towards the helmet in Mu You’s hands.

She had already learned about Ava and Despair Ava through Mu You.

Her reference to ’that time’ was about thirteen hundred years ago when she was suddenly awakened from her slumber and released from the container that imprisoned her soul.

At the time, she thought it was a temporary malfunction of the system that led to her awakening. Now it seemed likely that Ava had deliberately set her free.

"Yes... Although it’s all over now, I still need to apologize for imprisoning you before. I, lacking empathy at the time, failed to consider your feelings, and if I hadn’t done so, Eden might not have survived until now," Ava said.

Taurus was silent for a long while before finally sighing and shaking her head, "Never mind, you’ve had it tough too... And compared to my compatriots who died in the wars, I’m already one of the luckiest, at least I survived."

"What are your plans going forward?" Mu You asked Taurus.

"I haven’t planned it yet... I’ll probably travel around the Star Spirit World. After all, when I came to Eden, I was only ten years old. I never had the chance to see the world, and there’s so much I need to re-experience."

Upon finishing, Taurus looked at Mu You: "Moreover, I’m quite interested in the culture of your Forgotten Land. If I have the chance, I will go and take a look."

"Welcome."

Mu You handed Taurus a business card, "This is my address and contact details. If you visit Earth someday and encounter any difficulties, feel free to come find me."

"Okay."

Taurus accepted without refusing. She was well aware that without acquaintances in a completely unfamiliar place, it would be difficult to get by, and she gratefully took the business card.

"We’ll meet again."

With that, Taurus bade farewell, took her ashes, and left the Abyss, her speed suggesting she was eager to start her journey.
