Chapter 765 The New Era

Hao Ren and others waited outside for a long time until a ball of amorphous arcane energy floated out of the hall and told them to come in.

In the hall, the giant was sitting cross-legged next to the Crystal Spire, still maintaining the same posture as before having a long conversation with his eldest son. However, all the holographic projections on the Crystal Spire were still, and an atmosphere of silence filled the air. Hao Ren came to the giant and tried his best to smile reliably: "Are you done talking?"

The giant nodded silently, and then the eldest son's voice sounded in the hall: "Why..."

Nangong Sanba casually answered: "Why?"

"Why are they going to kill mom..." The eldest son's voice was confused, "Mom is obviously good to everyone, she likes everything in this world... Why are they going to kill mom?"

"For some people, it doesn't make sense who treats them well," Yzaks said solemnly. "When the demands exceed what they deserve, the mortal race will do unreasonable things. Stupidity It’s a serious crime, and unfortunately there are too many such sinners.”

The eldest son fell silent again, and this time the silence lasted longer. Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment. Hao Ren could only take the initiative to break the atmosphere: "Ahem... By the way, do you have any plans next?"

"Well, yes," the eldest son finally said, although his voice still sounded a little weak, "Mom is actually just asleep, right?"

"According to the information we have, the power of the Creation Goddess is still operating in the universe, and her thoughts occasionally respond to the calls of believers, so there is a high possibility of sleeping," Hao Ren touched his chin, "In addition, as far as I know In fact, none of the direct witnesses of that war actually saw the scene of the goddess's fall. What they observed was only the explosion of the Founding Star. After that, the entire battlefield was exiled to a place called the Dark Realm. In other words, there is currently no evidence to prove that the goddess actually died in that battle. To sum up, there is a high probability that she is still alive."

"You will help me find my mother, right?"

Vivian smiled: "Not only are we helping you, this is also our own goal."

"Then I will wait for mother to come back," the eldest son replied, "before then, if there is anything I can do, I will help you."

Lily looked up at Crystal Peaks, and after holding it in for a long time, she still couldn't help but ask: "What about that? After you heard what happened back then...do you feel filled with hatred? If you have anything unhappy in your heart, you can say it here. Ah, we are all from another universe, and we have nothing to do with the second son here. If you are unhappy, you can discuss it with us, and don’t hold it in your heart."

The giant silently lowered his head and glanced here. It was obvious that he didn't agree with Lily's statement that he had "nothing to do with the second son" from a blood perspective, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The eldest son's voice sounded calm: "I'm very angry and sad, but my mother said, don't be like the other brothers and sisters, I have to listen to her. And Mulu also said, all the rebels have died in Heaven's Punishment , so we can’t pursue it.”

"Muru?" Nangong Sanba asked subconsciously.

The giant's rumbling voice came from above the crowd: "My name."

"Oh! I feel like I forgot something - I forgot to ask your name when I talked to you last time." Hao Ren patted his head while swaying in the strong wind, "Please don't speak in a hurry. "Man, the wind is really strong. Besides, now that we know the name of the giant, what should we call this one here? I can't always call you 'eldest son', it sounds weird."

The second half of his sentence was directed at Crystal Peaks: When the eldest son only had one soul left, this facility became its interactive interface by default.

"Me? We don't have names. We all live alone in the universe. Unlike giants, we don't have a society, so we don't need names." The eldest son's voice was a little troubled.

"Um, didn't the Drom people give you a name?"

"They called me many names, but they were not names."

Hao Ren understood it after thinking about it for a moment. For a creature that is the only one on the planet, a name is of little use. It is the only one on the planet Zhuom. It doesn’t matter if humans call it the root of origin, the tree of the world, the ancient god, etc. Even just calling him "He" is okay. The eldest son usually has no other similar people around him to compare with, so he is very indifferent to the concept of names. As for how the goddesses and guardian giants usually contact these "ecological managers" scattered throughout the universe, they mostly use a method of spiritual connection + code book.

"Then let's call you Zhuomu," Hao Ren thought for a moment, "name it after the planet you lived on, as a way to remember you."

"Okay." The eldest son agreed happily.

After confirming that the matter of the goddess's fall had been smoothly handed over, Hao Ren began to care about the 1.6 billion souls in the space station host and the Droam ecological database (that is, the virtual world parameters): "Then let's talk about the database. Well. The blueprint library of the Dream Ark has been rescued, what are your plans next? What will happen to the souls in the Ark next?"

The eldest son thought for a while: "According to my original plan, I was to use the source blood to reshape the ecosystem, but now that even my body has been burned, it will probably be difficult to return to the real world. So from now on I should just I can continue to create virtual worlds. But the souls of my younger brothers and sisters...the restriction lock has been broken, and they will wake up after this. It may be a bit difficult for them to accept the current situation."

Hao Ren heard a new word: "Restriction lock?"

Under the eldest son's explanation, he figured out what the so-called "restriction lock" and "waking up" were about. The former refers to nothing else, but the mechanical parts on the previous planet of Drom. They are an important reason for ensuring that the people of Drom sleep in their dreams!

The mortal soul is delicate and fragile, and its lifespan is the biggest problem. Races born with short lifespan cannot live forever rashly. They need to undergo complex training and soul strengthening to allow their souls to withstand the extreme extension of lifespan. This is also one of the techniques used by the Xiling God System to promote and transform the dependents. -However, the Drom people have no experience in this area, let alone time to study this technology. The first problem they face after entering the Dream Ark is not death, but survival: What should humans with a lifespan of only more than a hundred years suddenly become immortal?

They will get tired, lose themselves, gradually go crazy and ignore the whole world. What's even worse: after enjoying a stable life in the virtual paradise for too long, they will completely adapt to this place, and even forget the feeling of the real world. "Sleeping in sweet dreams" is a beautiful temptation, but it is also the real beginning of the extinction of the race. The Drom people have foreseen this very early, so they set up another security measure on the Dream Ark. Then It's the "limiter".

"Their memories were solidified in the tenth year after entering the dream world. That was the period when all human beings were in the best shape in terms of fighting spirit, mentality, and mobility. Then their souls began to reincarnate without memory. Each reincarnation It ranges from several years to decades to ensure the activity of the soul," the eldest son explained patiently. "If a dream lasts too long, history will be distorted, and what happened on the 'planet' will also accumulate. Too much data, so the stage needs to be reset every once in a while. This is all designed by them, they are very smart!”

"So this is the truth about reincarnation..." Nangong Sanba stared, even more amazed at this grand plan, "So, when the real 'awakening' comes, their memories will go back to just ten thousand years ago. The state of being in a dream state not long ago? This is a good mental state...but aren't the things that happened and the accumulated experience in these ten thousand years gone? It would be a pity to forget them all."

"They will not forget it and will store it as harmless memories, because these accumulated experiences are also useful and can be used to rebuild society in the future. Their brains are very large and can remember many things. After returning to the real world Things in reincarnation will still be remembered, but they will be harmlessly encoded. These memories will be like watching photos and movies. Although there are many, they will not affect the psychology."

"The feeling of 'personal experience' has been erased, but the knowledge has been retained... In this way, everyone will be a polymath when they return to the real world. However, because the knowledge has not been accumulated every time, they should not be able to compare with Nolan. Hao Ren said to himself, "But now that the limiter is gone, they will wake up in the virtual world and live endlessly."

"So can you help make another limiter?" The eldest son asked, "You seem to have very high technology, so you should be able to make it."

Hao Ren laughed after hearing this: "Compared to this...don't you plan to return to the real world?"

The eldest son didn't react for a moment, and the giant Muru also cast a curious look at him.

"After ecological disasters, many planets have been reshaped. This universe is full of fertile wastelands." Hao Ren opened another set of holographic projections, which showed the scenery of Tanagus, "How is this planet? Use it to welcome your new years.”
