Chapter 1946 Gaia
Although the terrain of the swamp is the same, Leo still quickly found the tribe where he was reborn with the help of the spiritual network, and also found himself before his rebirth.
As he remembered, during the migration of the tribe, he was injured in the foot by a wild beast in the swamp because he was protecting his tribe. In addition, some people in the tribe got sick due to the climate and environment. The migrating tribe had to stop in the swamp and build a temporary camp. After the injuries were healed, they migrated to the warmer south.
During this process, although he was treated by the witch doctor in the tribe and the witch doctor's medicine was applied to the wound, the medicine was obviously not very clean. Soon the wound was infected, and he had a high fever for several days. Everyone thought he was dying, so they had already started to choose a new chief.
Leo used his psychic power to hide himself, and then walked into the temporary camp, came to the tent in his memory, and saw the primitive man himself lying on the ground covered with animal skins, covered with a layer of animal skins.
Perhaps because he had seen the ape man himself before, his emotions did not fluctuate too much, and his mentality was like seeing a stranger.
Just like monitoring the ape man himself before, Leo also used the mental network to monitor the primitive man's own physical condition. Just as he remembered, he was in a very bad state at this moment. The high fever of 40 degrees had completely destroyed his body functions. His brain was probably half-cooked. Whether there were still brain cells alive was an unknown. As for the internal organs and other organs, they had already failed, and breathing was almost on the verge of stopping. It was no exaggeration to say that in a few minutes, the primitive man in front of him would usher in death.
Leo did nothing, just in the tent, waiting for the moment when the primitive man himself changed.
A few minutes later, as he expected, the primitive man stopped breathing, all his organs gradually failed, and there was no signal from the brain. It was certain that he was completely brain dead at this moment, but some cells in his body were still working tenaciously, but in terms of the meaning of life, the primitive man himself should be considered truly dead at this moment.
A minute later, something that Leo expected and also unexpected happened. The primitive man came back to life, and all his body functions returned to normal. Some of his injuries were also recovering slowly, especially the wound that caused the infection. All these changes were completed in an instant. He even felt that the primitive man in front of him was completely changed in an instant, just like a frame change in the image.
Even though Leo used the mental network to monitor all the movements of the primitive man, he still didn't find out how his rebirth happened.
At this time, because his body was completely improved, the primitive man himself woke up from his coma and opened his eyes.
However, what made Leo feel strange was that the other party seemed to be able to see him at this moment, because when he opened his eyes, his sight swept through the tent and fell directly on himself, and his eyes revealed a hint of doubt and fear, and there was nothing worth the other party's attention where he was.
However, the look in the other party's eyes soon changed, leaving only doubts, and he struggled to get up from the bed and walked towards Leo.
Seeing this, Leo took a step and moved his position, but the other party did not notice it. Instead, he continued to walk to the place where Leo had just stood and waved his hand there, as if looking for something.
There is no doubt that from the performance of the primitive man himself, it is obvious that the moment he woke up just now, he did see himself using psychic power to become invisible, which made Leo curious about the primitive man himself again, and he used the mental network to repeatedly scan the primitive man's physical condition again.
Although Leo admitted that he was not particularly good at using psychic power to become invisible, he was a ninth-level psychic after all, and was only one step away from becoming an Omega-level higher life form. Even if he was not good at psychic power, the effect of his use would not be weakened too much. Not to mention the eyes of ordinary people, even the best monitoring equipment in the universe could not detect his invisible self.
But the fact now is that the primitive man, who is still an ordinary person, did see himself at the moment he opened his eyes to look around, and he became curious, so he came over to explore and search.
The primitive man's doubts did not last too long. Soon he gave up looking for Leo, whom he had just seen. Then he seemed to hear the sound of conversation in the camp, so he picked up a piece of animal skin on the ground, put it on his body, and limped out.
When the primitive man left, Leo's examination was over. He did find some things that he had not found before. Although the primitive man's body function recovered from complete exhaustion to normal in an instant, the primitive man's brain was not just recovered. He found that the primitive man's brain ganglia and brain cells were more than ten times more than normal people.
Although his brain capacity did not increase, judging from the surge in the number of ganglia and brain cells, he was definitely the smartest person at that time, or even in the entire Old Earth era.
"Is this the reason for having advanced knowledge?" Leo had a guess in his mind, but he felt that this guess was wrong, because the mutation of the brain could not provide advanced knowledge, but only made him think more than the primitive man at that time, and it was easier to think of solutions when encountering problems.
Just like the previous transition, when Leo was unaware, the scene in front of him changed again. This time it was the location of his next rebirth. He also found himself in the next rebirth and witnessed the entire process of rebirth.
In this way, after going through the rebirth process back and forth for more than a dozen times, Leo did not look for himself who was about to be reborn this time after the scene change. Instead, he stood where he was and said to the people around him: "What do you want to do?" What?"
Almost at the same time that Leo finished his words, a female voice that sounded familiar to him sounded from behind, answering his question and saying, "Answer, we want an answer."
Leo turned around and looked behind him, with a surprised expression on his face when he saw the mysterious being who spoke.
The reason why he was surprised was because he knew the mysterious being who spoke. Although he was much more mature than he remembered, his appearance had not changed much. This mysterious being was the spirit that Leo had adopted in the world where the Belmont family branch was located. Can apprentice Penny.
He still remembered that he had compiled his psychic knowledge into a book and left it to Penny, who asked her to practice according to the contents in the notes. He believed that with Penny's talent for controlling psychic powers, she could rely on the knowledge in the manual alone. It was enough for her to complete the entire psyker evolution sequence.
Later, when leaving that world, he also thought that maybe one day Penny could become a high-level psychic, master the method of opening space rifts, travel through other worlds, and maybe meet each other in a certain world, but he He never expected to see Penny here in this situation, which also made him a little doubtful about the identity of Penny in front of him.
Just when Leo was wondering if the other party had transformed into Penny on purpose, the other party took the initiative to salute Leo, and then said in a familiar tone, "Long time no see, teacher."
"Are you really Penny?" Leo frowned and asked.
"Yes." The other party nodded and added: "But not entirely."
"What do you mean?" Leo asked.
The other party explained: "I am Penny, but Penny is only a part of me, just like Leo is you, but you are only a part of Leo. Leo is complete only with you sitting on the throne." "
Leo was silent for a moment and then asked: "Who are you?"
The other party replied: "If you call me in the language of the Earth Federation, Gaia is my name."
"Gaia?" Leo was not too surprised, because before he came to the High Court, he had already thought that there might be a giant founder of the Supreme Council of the Universe there, and that he had existed in almost all the myths and histories of the universe's civilizations. Gaia, the Earth Mother, also happens to be one of the giants that he thinks is most likely to survive the collapse of the universe.
However, what surprised him was that Penny turned out to be a clone of Gaia, but when he thought about Penny's psychic talent carefully, he felt that this was very reasonable. After all, in his memory, there was no psychic beginner who could do it so quickly. He has learned various psychic powers, and even used some basic psychic powers to have almost strategic-level psychic skills.
When the other party revealed his identity, Leo also had a strong curiosity in his heart. He wanted to know what the legendary Gaia was, so he used his mental network and other abilities to check the other party.
The other party also noticed Leo's actions immediately and did not make any resistance. Instead, he allowed Leo's mental network and other probing powers to sweep over his body.
Although Leo had already guessed what the result would be before the test, he still inevitably showed some disappointment after receiving the feedback results of various powers.
Regardless of whether it is the spiritual network or other probing forces, the results are the same. The Gaia with Penny's appearance in front of her is an ordinary human being, and she even has the scars that Penny left on her body before.
Leo asked in a deep voice: "Did you appear in front of me and become my student on purpose?"
"No, that was an accident." Gaia shook her head and said: "According to our ideas, we will not have contact with you before you return to the Supreme Court. Everything will develop according to your own ideas. She smiled again and said, "However, I was also very surprised when Penny recovered part of her memory in a fully evolved form and returned to the Supreme Court and appeared in front of me after so many years." Later, I invested countless clones in the countless worlds created by the World Tree, and only she completed the complete evolution of life, restored part of her memory, and returned to the Supreme Court, so I was very curious about how she did it. It’s really a coincidence that I found out that it’s related to you.”
"Why do you want to create so many clones? Is it to integrate into the World Tree?" Leo asked again.
"Of course not." Gaia shook her head and said: "Although the World Tree was created by us, it has grown into a complete individual. Our power will only cause harm to it. The reason why I created so many clones I threw myself into those worlds of Yggdrasil just because it was too boring, no other reason.”
"Too boring?" Leo felt a little incredible about this answer. In his opinion, these beings at the top of the universe should be exploring various mysteries all the time. How could there be such a feeling as boredom?
Gaia seemed to guess what Leo was thinking from his expression, so she said earnestly: "A lot of things have changed, aren't you the same? Immortal."
Leo thought for a while and asked again: "Is this an illusion created by you?"
"No, this is the real Earth, the Earth in that time period as you thought." Gaia explained: "The moment you entered the Supreme Court, the Lord of Time sent you back to these places through his ability. Earth in time period.”
Leo believed Gaia's words, but asked in confusion: "Since you have such a powerful time retrieval ability, why..."
"You want to ask why you didn't send us back to before the collapse of the universe to prevent the collapse of the universe, right?" Before Leo could finish asking, Gaia said the question he wanted to ask.
Leo nodded.
Gaia said calmly: "How do you know we haven't done that?"
"Have you ever done this?" Leo was stunned.
Gaia replied: "It has been done more than once, but the results every time were very bad, and the more we do it, the worse the final result is. You must know that the universe just failed to increase its dimension at first, but in the end it collapsed. If we If we do that, then maybe when the universe collapses, we won’t be able to preserve even that little bit of our origin, and the World Tree won’t be able to exist.”
Leo asked doubtfully: "If that's the case, why this time..."
Gaia explained: "No, your current situation is different from mine. In the time dimension, we are still in the Supreme Court, but we only appear on the earth in this time period in the form of projection. You cannot interfere with time. Things that have happened and things that have not happened will not affect the future." After saying that, he paused and said, "Actually, it is not wrong for you to regard him as an illusion, but this illusion is real."
Leo asked in confusion: "Why did you do this? Why did you send me to this time period to observe my rebirth process again and again?"
Perhaps because he got to the point, Gaia's expression became serious. She looked at Leo and said in a deep voice, "Because we want to know what you are?"
When Leo heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then slowly said: "Am I not an immortal?"
Gaia looked at Leo and said: "Immortal is just a name we gave you. We don't know what you are. You appeared so suddenly, as if you clicked an ordinary button on a piece of white paper. It is the same as a small dot that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and this dot is white. But we can see you and see that you are part of the universe, but we are incompatible with the universe and cannot find your source. Speculating about your future, so we are curious about you.”
