Yes, brother, yes, look down at the ground beneath your feet.

...

After a long time, Zhang Ze opened his eyes.

He sat up on the bed, staring blankly for quite a while.

Though some things were still unclear, Zhang Ze's mind was buzzing, and he needed to calm down.

Not until his gaze became somewhat vacant did Zhang Ze shiver and regain his senses.

He decided to take a look in the back hall of the Ancestral Temple.

Because the answers to the crucial questions about Stone Pill, how he died and came back to life, and what he did in the Primordial era, were behind that door.

This matter didn't require Li's help; Zhang Ze could remember it himself.

So, Li decided to continue dreaming for a while, enjoying the feeling of flying around like a long strip.

Zhang Ze got up and walked toward the back hall.

According to Li, after the mutation occurred, it and Zhang Ze were trapped in this ecological capsule.

Nearly all the technological devices in the capsule were destroyed, and the capsule became an isolated Secret Realm space, floating in the Earth Sea.

Probably due to this relationship, Li's mutation was limited.

Apart from being more tightly integrated with the square locomotive, its appearance did not change much.

As for its personality, it remained normal.

If you don't count its sudden demonic hunger, wanting to swallow everything around it to store in its belly, that is.

As for Zhang Ze, he had no issues.

As a man impervious to the Earth Sea, he felt nothing.

Thus, Li and Zhang Ze lived in this enclosed Secret Realm.

Every day, they either chatted nonsensically or raised dinosaurs together.

Mainly because there was nothing else to do, they couldn't leave the place, nor fix it. Plus, neither of them had the temperament to heroically sacrifice themselves, so they didn't want to die.

There was no choice but to find something to do to alleviate the loneliness.

Like raising dinosaurs, or teaching dinosaurs to communicate.

This life continued for sixty years, until Zhang Ze died of old age.

However, after Li tearfully buried Mr. Zhang, at twelve twenty-nine the next day, Mr. Zhang reappeared in front of Li.

In the youthful appearance of eighteen.

At the same time, the buried corpse mysteriously disappeared.

In the years that followed, this phenomenon happened repeatedly, as if this place was Mr. Zhang's mysterious resurrection point.

At twelve twenty-nine the day after he passed away, he would always come back full of life.

And Zhang Ze, in this unusual form of immortality, continued to be imprisoned here with Li.

Until he was 'drawn' out by someone 'pulling cards'.

Zhang Ze pushed open the door to the back room, which was vast, but besides a chair backing against the door, there was only a black sandy beach and the concretized ripples of the Earth Sea.

Zhang Ze scratched his chin, thinking this seemed somewhat like Death Stranding.

He stepped towards the 'sea', knelt on one knee, and extended his hand into the 'sea'.

Afterward, countless murmurs sounded in his ears.

Zhang Ze withdrew his hand, stood up, and exclaimed in wonder, "Sure enough, the origin of Stone Pill is here."

The Stone Pill had nothing to do with the technology of the Exile Fleet back then.

It wasn't an escape pod or any other advanced technology, but rather the Four Continents Will's continuation of the new life plan.

Those genetic and soul samples that should have vanished with the destruction of all the equipment in the Divine Capital were protected by the will of the Four Continents and preserved here.

As time passed, the Four Continents, through the means of the Stone Pill, allowed them to reappear in the world.

Some special individuals like Li and himself, who were unique classes, could awaken multiple times and form an alternative cycle.

However, because of another wish to forget the pain, these individuals would lose many memories after awakening in this manner.

As for the summoning form itself, calling it a summoning is less accurate than saying it's a wish that can only be completed under specific conditions.

A wish to the Four Continents Will.

The array for Summoning Stone Pill was a wish method summarized by a certain tribe during the Barbaric times.

Similar to, "Mom, I want to raise a puppy."

Then dear Four Continents Mother would carefully select and send you a soy sauce-colored, cunning, water-fearing top-class glutton that can eat two hundred pounds of pork knuckles in one meal.

Sea Patrol Dog.

Thinking of these things, Zhang Ze pulled out a notebook from a hidden compartment under the chair.

Li had told him about it.

It recorded his multiple travels between the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm and the Four Continents in this manner.

It could also be called a Phantom Mirror Memoir, or Zhang Ze's Rogue Diary.

"I went out, and I came back, the outside world is really dangerous, it's safer by my God Li's side."

...

"I went out again, and I came back again. This time, I lasted quite a while, but they're fighting all over up there, and I don't know if the tribe that treated me to a meal is safe and sound.

"And I found that this Major Amnesia Technique seems to be one-way. Returning here, I don't forget the experiences up there, but leaving here and going up, most memories are erased again.

"Up there, I can only remember things from when Blue Star still existed, not things from here.

"Does that mean every time I go up, I have to start over?

"I wonder when someone will summon me next time? By the way... what exactly did those people wish for?"

Zhang Ze continued to turn the pages and found that many pages later were filled with sketches of small dinosaurs, interspersed with drawings of tombstones.
