Chapter 3217 Distortion and Miracle

"Miracle? What on earth is this?"

"Does that mean the purpose of our living here is to create miracles?"

"Does this also mean we are safe?"

Through constant investigation and study...these apes discovered the city's 'purpose'. 3

Although the images they saw were always blurry, every time they saw them they always felt that their brains received...some signals.

This allowed them to slowly learn... the truth here.

That is the truth they have always been looking for: why are these cities here?

They got the answer. The signal told them that everything here was to create a miracle. If a group of creatures could live here for a long time without doubting, or did not leave even if they doubted, then the miracle would be accomplished.

After learning this truth, the apes felt that... they had not found the answer.

Simply put, they just don't believe it.

They had thought of countless possibilities before, of course not including the possibility that this was a 'miracle' or something.

It was as if they had never thought that the reason leaf-cutter ants attacked surface cities in the past was to study them.

These apes had never thought of this, and even if they knew it, they were unwilling to believe that this was the real reason.

They thought that this was just a strange signal created by these "statues" to confuse them, so they ignored this "truth" and continued their research.

After studying more "statues", they indeed discovered more new signals.

These new signals told them about the reality of the "miracle", and some even mentioned the existence of miraculous creatures.

However, because the signal was intermittent and not very clear, they did not take it too seriously.

After that, they found more "statues" and could sense a lot of signals by activating or... dismantling them.

But these signals are intermittent and vague, and contain a lot of information they don't understand, making their research very difficult.

Lin almost understood everything. Based on the information she had learned and some guesses, she knew the general situation was probably... like this.

I don't know when it started... but it must have been before these apes came to these cities, these cities were infected by... something.

Lin thinks that these are distortions.

Or something else...anyway, it's something related to the creator.

It infected the city's internal systems, causing some changes in the internal systems.

The entire 'City of Miracles' is roughly divided into two parts. One is the 'outside', a city that changes according to the different creatures that visit.

Another one is the internal one, which is the main control system.

The main control system is mainly responsible for "reading" the thoughts of approaching creatures so that a city suitable for them can be constructed. At the same time, these systems will also determine whether to accept approaching creatures.

Civilization will not accept some species that are too powerful or... not developed.

For example, some creatures will drift here following creatures such as buses, but their own level of civilization has not yet reached the level where they can navigate in the void.

There are also some creatures that don't doubt, or are less likely to doubt.

For these creatures, the City of Miracles will not transform into the appearance of a city.

It will only accept those creatures that doubt, but ultimately 'overcome' their doubts and decide to stay.

Although it has this ability, the main system does not directly influence or control the thinking of any living being.

The visitor's suspicion of the city and his final departure were all his own thoughts.

Under normal circumstances, most creatures would become increasingly suspicious of this place and eventually leave.

But after the main system was 'corrupted', the current situation occurred.

This group of apes themselves should be a species that would normally be suspicious. After all, the longer they live here, the more they will feel that this place is... weird.

However, the thinking of some apes was directly affected, and no matter how strange this place was, they decided to stay here.

Only half remained skeptical and left.

Of course, it wouldn't be a miracle to affect them directly like this, so it can't happen.

At this point the system can be said to be divided into two parts, one part is normal, and the normal part allows the apes to maintain their doubts and their own thinking, allowing them to choose whether to leave or stay.

The eroded part actively influences the apes' thinking and forces them to stay.

In fact, the main purpose of erosion is to interfere with the normal operation of the entire miracle.

However, whether normal or corroded, they seem unable to directly destroy each other.

Their 'fighting' is primarily manifested through their effect on these apes.

Initially, two factions of apes continued to emerge, which was the result of their constant erosion and attempts to maintain normalcy.

Later, the erosion took it a step further and tried to completely destroy the entire wonder.

That is to tell the apes the 'truth' directly.

Those statues that appear everywhere and the signals hidden in the statues were actually created by the erosion party.

The normal system was trying to block it, so the signal was always vague... but slowly it became clear to the apes.

Once the apes knew that this was a miracle, the whole miracle became meaningless because the miracle itself was based on the 'unknown'.

But that's not the case.

Because these apes don't believe it, they continue to investigate what they believe to be the truth.

At this time, the eroding party tried to explain the details of the whole process to the apes, explain the existence of the miraculous creatures, etc.

This too was interfered with by the normal system, which made the information blurry, which caused the apes to remain skeptical.

Then, the two sides maintained this 'war'.

The corrosive party cannot completely control the apes, it can only exert some influence. It keeps trying to let the apes know that this is a miracle, to let them know the complete truth, so that the whole miracle becomes... meaningless.

What the normal party actually has to do is much simpler. It doesn't even need to do too much. It just needs to interfere with the signal or something.

Then the apes will begin to doubt themselves and deny whatever 'truth' they discover.

In the end, they still thought they had discovered nothing, so they continued to live in this strange city of miracles.

Until a certain point, this particular war finally came to an end.

These cities were attacked very fiercely.

This is related to the fact that the three nearby worlds are close to completion...actually, it is related to Ersh.
