The essence of Asha Hess?

Upon hearing Asha Hess's words, Qin Feng was slightly surprised: "Will you really answer any question?"

A hint of amusement appeared in Asha Hess's pale golden eyes: "Don't get any crooked ideas."

Qin Feng coughed and said with a straight face: "How could that be? Do you think I'm that dragon next door?"

???

Osirio was still squatting nearby with Grey Chicken, and upon hearing this, he looked bewildered: "Wait, I'm just sitting at home, and the blame falls from the sky?"

Grey Chicken: "Hahahaha, that's really not a pot, is it… Quack!"

Halfway through, Grey Chicken's neck was grabbed by Osirio.

The dragon and the phoenix immediately started brawling…

Qin Feng covered his forehead, ignoring those two.

He pulled Asha Hess to the side, avoiding the battlefield.

Then he asked: "If a civilization is destroyed during the process of the God Forsaken Game and enters a new reincarnation… if no accidents occur, are the players' experiences exactly the same as in the previous life?"

This was a question he had been thinking about just now.

For example, Qin Xiaoyou was a Life Priest in both her previous life and this one.

Stina's class and Talent also hadn't changed from her previous life.

The most typical example was Sakura Country… its development process and trajectory were almost exactly the same as in the previous life.

Asha Hess nodded with a smile: "The changes in civilization reincarnation come from variables; without variables, there would be no changes."

"And under normal circumstances, the variables of civilization reincarnation come from the number of people who reached Order Land in the previous life…"

"Every player who chooses to stay in Order Land will disappear from the civilization's records after the civilization reincarnates; this is one of the variables."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng roughly understood.

Take India for example.

Master Tuchar from the previous life reached Order Land and didn't return, so in this life, India has an extra 'Master Bazaar' who didn't exist in the previous life.

Originally, this Bazaar would have been one of the strongest people in India in this life.

Of course, now this guy is already a prisoner in Judgment Land…

Once someone stays in Order Land, it becomes a variable for the civilization's next reincarnation!

Thereby causing the civilization's next reincarnation to change.

Even if it's just a very small variable…

The impact might not be visible in the early stages.

But by the mid-to-late stages, it will inevitably lead to a completely different development trajectory for the entire civilization.

At the same time, Qin Feng still noticed quite a few contradictions.

He asked: "According to the information I have now, civilization Ascension… although it can escape reincarnation, this point might not necessarily be a good thing."

"In reincarnation, players of that civilization can be resurrected after Death, and can give birth to more and more powerful individuals in Order Land through repeated cycles."

"But if they Ascend, players of that civilization die for real."

"From a personal standpoint, the situation of the 'War Civilization' next door is a bit unrealistic."

"For some people, even if they went to Order Land, if they come back and find that their loved ones didn't survive to the ninth year, would they still firmly promote civilization Ascension?"

This was also a question Qin Feng had been thinking about just now.

After civilization Ascension, it means the dead can no longer be resurrected!

Wanting to accumulate so many powerful individuals from Order Land like the War Civilization did, and having them come back to help complete the Ascension in one go, is very unrealistic.

For example, A is a powerful individual in Order Land who originally planned to cooperate with other powerful individuals to return and help with the Ascension.

But when he went back and saw…

In this reincarnation, his wife had kicked the bucket!

Or, since A's existence was 'erased' in this reincarnation—either vanished or dead—it's very likely his wife found another man in this life.

In this situation…

Would A still be willing to promote civilization Ascension and let the entire civilization's ending be fixed in this reincarnation?

Regarding this point, Asha Hess smiled and pursed her lips: "Humans are indeed complex. Whether they return or not, they have their own stances and considerations."

"In this matter, one cannot view a civilization as a single whole; every individual is complex, and the situations are completely different."

"Some people don't return because they are afraid that if they come again, they won't be able to achieve their current accomplishments."

"But some people don't return because they are indeed gathering strength, preparing for the future civilization Ascension…"

"As for the benefits of civilization Ascension, they are extremely important."

"Of course, the specific situation can only be known once you yourself reach Order Land."

Hearing this, Qin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems your essence, Hess, is that of a riddle-maker."

Once certain rules regarding the God Forsaken Game were mentioned, she would stop talking.

Asha Hess smiled and shook her head, but said nothing.

Qin Feng saw a hint of helplessness in her pale golden eyes.

Perhaps…

It's not that she doesn't want to tell him.

But is constrained by certain rules?

Just like before, before Qin Feng viewed the memories and learned the truth of civilization reincarnation, she couldn't discuss related things with him.

"Language might be quite rigidly restricted by the rules."

"But if it's information I've already learned, like by viewing others' memories, then there's no issue with her discussing it with me…"

This level is still too high.

Qin Feng couldn't understand it for now, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Then, he looked at the surrounding dark space, at the players trapped in this Judgment Land and being punished: "These people, they have been judged, if the civilization reincarnates, can they return to the beginning?"

Asha Hess shook her head: "What is judged is their consciousness. Unless you issue an order, they will be trapped here forever. If the civilization reincarnates, they will be the same as those who chose to stay in Order Land… their traces of existence will be erased from the real world."

Immediately after, Qin Feng asked more small questions.

All of which were answered by Asha Hess one by one.

For example, whether the judged people can still be released…

What are the conditions for sending someone out of Judgment Land…

And so on.

The answer obtained was that Judgment Land is a power belonging to Qin Feng, and as long as there is enough Divinity, any operation can be achieved.

Finally, Qin Feng looked at the 'Killing Executioner · Diabad' who was already being punished in the oil cauldron in the dark space.

Through his memories, Qin Feng knew that he truly hoped for his mother to be resurrected.

"He resented his father because his father, after his mother died, still helped promote civilization Ascension, thereby causing his mother to lose the possibility of resurrection…"

"But from his father's perspective, civilization Ascension is an irresistible trend, and he alone couldn't stop it."

"How can one person resist so many people?"

"If the resistance failed, then after civilization Ascension, their entire family would be wiped out…"

Qin Feng couldn't say his father was wrong, nor could he say his father didn't love his mother.

Sacrificing an entire civilization to resurrect a lover, and even dragging dozens of powerful individuals from Order Land into the water (re-entering reincarnation), such a story is certainly romantic.

But from another angle…

If civilization Ascension really failed and everything started over, then there would be no such person as Diabad!

Because with dozens of powerful individuals from Order Land returning, there are too many variables in the civilization's development, and it's not certain that Diabad would be born again…

"Forget about these."

Qin Feng shook his head and cast these thoughts to the back of his mind.

If he wants to know more information about Order Land, he must either go to Order Land himself, or check the memories of higher-level NPCs!

"However, high-level NPCs are existences that have reached Order Land."

"For example, those at Sister Yuan's level."

"If I really want to judge an NPC of this level, the difficulty is very high…"

"Not to mention whether I can beat them, at the very least, my current Divinity Cap is definitely not enough."

Thus, Qin Feng decided to put this matter to rest for now.

At least, he had learned information about civilization Ascension and reincarnation this time.

Next, Qin Feng planned to go to the Tower of Divine Authority outside the Magic City Ruins and send 'Mom' Virginie into Judgment Land.

"Judge her first, check her memories, and if there are no problems, consume some Divinity to release her."

Of course, before setting off, there was one more thing to do.

Qin Feng returned to the Evil Spirit Academy Hideout in the game and took out the abyss vase.
