Chapter 1227 The Continuation of the Story

"What are these?"

"That's... the blue sky."

"But I haven't seen a real blue sky, have I?"

"Yes, that is a view that can only be seen from our cue ball... No, you can't see it from the cue ball now."

………………

"It's back to this place again...but it's a little different than before."

The scholar is standing in a space covered with green lawns, and in front of it, there is a young Xumin. This cub is innocently asking about the "blue sky".

There is a blue sky above its head, but like the grass beneath its feet, these are all fake, because this is the interior of the Wanderer... so there is no such thing.

Why do scholars come here? That's because it went into...sleep.

Not long ago, it destroyed the underground sphere on the disk platform, and later returned to the quiet town of the Emerald Dragon. The Emerald Dragon seemed unresponsive at first, but then slowly they began to act abnormally.

After a pom-pom day and night, some of them began to want to run out of the town, and some began to wonder what they had been doing before. Not only did they recover, but their previous memories did not disappear. When they recalled it a little, they would feel that they It's an odd behavior to stay here all this time.

Then, these emerald dragons quickly left the town one after another, and all of them, including the courage system, disappeared... It is estimated that the creatures in other towns were in a similar situation.

The scholar did not follow them. It decided to wait in the town. The scholar felt a little tired so he rested for a while, but after he opened his eyes, he found that... he had arrived at this place.

The scene is the same as before, but the only difference is that there are... creatures in this scene.

It was a scholar in the cub stage. In addition to the scholar, there were several other Xumin cubs, and a 'nurse' here to tell the cubs various things.

This caregiver is not a virtual citizen, but an image, which can also be regarded as an intelligent system. It will answer many questions of the cubs and interact with the cubs in various ways, but it will not really 'think'.

But when I was little,

The scholar always thought that the nurse was alive, until one time the nurse's system went wrong, and after reinstalling it no longer 'recognized' the scholar. At that time, it was quite shocked.

"...Every time I see this place, I remember a lot of things from my childhood, but why do I dream about this place? Have I entered a dream space similar to the last time?"

Because the cubs here ignored the scholar, the scholar didn't try to talk to them. It left the room, opened the door and walked outside.

The scholar quickly saw the corridor outside the Wandering, which was exactly the same as before, except that many 'citizens' were added here, and there were many adult virtual citizens walking back and forth here.

They communicated with each other and did various things, all ignoring the scholar's location. The scholar tried to contact a virtual citizen and found that he passed through it.

It seems to be in a ghost-like observation state, but scholars can still touch objects here, such as opening doors and so on.

The scholar found the previous exit door. After opening it, he found that outside the Wanderer was a... very vast environment.

The sky is black and full of stars, but there are no statues of creatures on the ground. The ground is not entirely made of crystals. It is much more complicated than before.

The ground is full of gravel and cracks, and there are things that look like plants growing in these gravels, but most of them are blue or purple.

The ground is earth-colored, but occasionally you can see a spot covered with crystals.

The scholar came out of the Wanderer and stood on the ground full of gravel and purple plants. He looked towards the sky and saw a huge tumbler among the stars. The surface structure and mountains were clearly visible. Seems pretty close to here.

"What the hell is this place?"

When the scholar raised this question, he suddenly found that... some "voices" appeared in his mind.

"This is the original appearance of the Beginning World. The previous exploration was interrupted, but now it is connected again. You can continue to explore. You first go to climb... that rock."

The scholar looked forward and saw a large stone in front of his eyes, so he quickly walked over and climbed onto the stone...

"That's..." The scholar found that the stone he was standing on was on the edge of a cliff, and under the cliff was a large and vast plain.

On the plain, the scholar saw a large number of... buildings. They were all made of crystals. Although the shape was very strange, the scholar immediately felt that this was a city.

There are many creatures moving under the building. It can be seen that these creatures are not made of crystals, but look like a group of... cellular creatures with body.

'boom--! ’ Just when the scholar tried to see clearly, a burst of explosions sounded over the city, and the roaring flames illuminated the dark night sky, and towering buildings collapsed in the tremors.

Then, the scholar saw a large number of flying objects appearing in the distant sky. They flew quickly towards the city and threw countless explosives into the city, causing the entire city to be engulfed in flames.

"They are... at war?" The scholar felt that the ground was constantly shaking even from a very far away place. It was obviously a very tragic war, but the city was not without the ability to resist. Many buildings faced the sky. He continued to shoot out various missile-like things, shooting down one flying object after another.

"This is a war simulated by the Beginning Realm." In the scholar's mind, the voice reappeared: "After that, they lived such a life. They lived in the ocean of simulated knowledge, constantly learning, Constant simulation.”

……………………

A long time ago, in the crystallized world, the Beginning Realm defeated the two civilized species at that time and ruled the world. However, they did not make many changes to the world. They... lurked.

They hid their own power and various imitated technologies, and then continued to wait for new civilizations to appear.

This takes a relatively long time.

However, because the Beginning Realm exterminated all the individuals of the previous two civilizations, they could only wait for new civilized species to appear. The Beginning Realm thought it was too long, so they began to promote some species with great "civilization potential" in the world and let them Become a civilization, then let them acquire some of the technological foundations left by past civilizations, start developing, and then let these new civilizations war with each other.

Shijing is observing these civilizations from the side, and they have learned and recorded all the best parts of these civilizations. When these civilizations want to decide the winner, or when Shijing feels that they have nothing useful to show, Shijing will Show up... and destroy them.

However, it is not completely destroyed. The Beginning Realm will leave behind some cubs who know nothing about their own civilization's past. Then the Beginning Realm teaches them the basis of another technology and allows them to display a brand new civilization.

Then the beginning will absorb the essence of these exhibitions...

Initially, the initial environment only used two species to do this. Later, they thought that too few species was not good, because even if the same species was given different technical foundations, the civilizations they would later develop would be very similar, so the initial environment made many different species.

In addition to cellular organisms, they also created many other types of organisms. The development methods of two individual multicellular organisms are relatively similar, but the development methods of a cellular organism and a... non-cellular organism are hugely different. Fortunately, There are quite a lot of various kinds of creatures in the crystal world. The purpose of creating a variety of creatures in the beginning is to experience various different civilizations, then absorb the essence inside them, and finally record them all as one's own technology.

However, Shi Jing found that it was not appropriate to do so.

Because their world could not bear the consumption, the crystal world already had a large area of ​​'nutrient-free' environment like desert wasteland. This world could not support the consumption of these civilizations' continuous rise and destruction. If the war continued, this world would be The world turned into a scorched earth.

Therefore, Shijing decided to obtain resources from the void.

The Beginning Realm has integrated the technologies of some civilizations to create things that can fly into the void, and they use these things to travel towards the void.

However, the Beginning Realm also showed that they could only fly to a nearby... satellite at most. As for other places, they were too far away from them, and many of the exploring troops never returned.

The Beginning Realm initially felt that they could only create something that could fly far enough with limited resources, so they created two civilizations.

To be precise, there are two groups of creatures, because the number of these creatures is not as large as the civilized creatures produced by the Beginning Realm before.

The Beginning Realm gave these two groups of creatures the illusion that the end was approaching.

It is to make them think that the end of the world is about to happen, and at the same time, it also gives these two groups of creatures very new technology, allowing them to create aircraft that can escape to the farthest void before the 'end of the world' arrives.

Researchers of these two groups of organisms therefore work very hard to imagine, invent, and create new types of aircraft.

Later, the end really came.

Because these creatures had not made aircraft after the time was up, the Beginning Realm killed them.

Then Shijing got two other groups of creatures to continue testing. Shijing felt that maybe the doomsday time setting was shorter, so the end of the world would take longer this time.

However, these two new groups of creatures did not succeed in creating any aircraft.

However, they made something useful. (To be continued.)
