Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3076: The end of childhood


"Compared with your story, my story is not so colorful, and even boring."

In exchange, the Nüwa Clan girl "Moon Watcher" also told Li Yao about her story, using a combination of brain waves and sound waves to tell, "I have stayed in the ancient ruins since I was born, of course, back then I didn't realize that there was a wider world outside, and I didn't find how complex, erratic, and elusive the world inside the ancient ruins compared to the vast and stable world outside.

"Perhaps you have discovered that the space within the Taikoo Ruins is a fusion of a lot of Greater Thousand Worlds, or the entire Taikoo Ruins is a 'Wormhole condensate', as if it were everywhere Traffic hub, countless invisible tunnels leading to four dimensional space are criss-crossed here, forming a maze and puzzles that have exhausted hundreds of Civilization billions of years and failed to be completely resolved.

"This kind of characteristic gives the unpredictable characteristics of the ancient ruins. Here, the continuity and stability of time and space are broken. It is very likely that the summer is hot here, but it is white snow 100 meters away. It ’s capped, or here are colorful flowers blooming, and a hundred meters away is a black and white monotone fungus blanket, which creates a stiff and stiff image. In my childhood Era, I also chased butterflies and crossed the flowers. , But found that the butterfly turned into a flame of burning fiercely in an instant, and the flame turned into countless Star Glow with the wind. It seemed to be reborn in the form of a firefly. When I did not listen to the advice of the adult, I extended my finger to the butterfly. At the time of the place, my fingers also turned into colorful fireworks, completely blooming in the vortex of time and space.

"In short, this is the case, all inherent and stable laws can be broken, any strange things can appear, the most ethical, cautious expert may die in the most weird way, and Those crazy lunatics may live longer.

"Listen to my father that the first batch of researchers and adventurers who entered the archaeological ruins at that time had only two endings, either the Civilization ruins that faced the bizarre environment and the open teeth, and the ubiquitous strange radiation that was alive. Scared of madness and scared of death, the spirit completely collapsed; or, that is, studying the laws, formulas and theorems of a lifetime, they were defeated by the unconventional things in the ancient ruins. Finding the objective laws hidden in it, but like a moth chasing the sun, will never reach the goal, and ultimately waste life and gloomy end.

"Because of this, researchers and adventurers who later entered the archaeological ruins had to seal most of their emotions and wills to survive in this nightmare ruin.

"Of course, for innocent children, staying in this kaleidoscope-like world from birth, seeing all kinds of things that cannot be explained with common sense, but taking these magical spells and even magic powers as There is an objective existence. Before entering the real research, there is rarely a mental breakdown. Therefore, it is not necessary to seal the emotion completely before the abnormal disturbance of brain waves has been detected. "

With the whispers of Moon Watcher, the silver city in the mind of Li Yao, the smooth and mirror-like facade of a high-rise building, was also contaminated with circles and circles of gorgeous patterns, like a bunch of beams The alien flowers are blooming slowly, really turning this city, built in the depths of the ancient ruins, on the corpses of one hundred ancient Civilization, into a kaleidoscope that is constantly rolling and strange, like vortex.

"In my childhood Era, there are two most interesting games, or secretly ran out to explore the countryside with my friends to explore, different Greater Thousand Worlds from different spaces, or else to study The corpses left by the ancient Civilization where fallen was here. "

Moon Watcher continued, "You know, when you spent your childhood with the remains and corpses of one hundred ancient Civilization, when you knew that there were once a hundred extremely brilliant ancient Civilization all silently After the annihilation, when you see that the war machines up to 100 meters are turned into wrecked and rusty debris, your world view, Civilization view and universe view will be shaped very ... strange.

"Perhaps, in your eyes, both time and space are stable. Civilization is the result of incomparably brilliant after hundreds of millions of souls have worked together for hundreds of millions of years, and the universe is a vast ocean.

"But in my eyes, at least in my childhood Era, time and space are neither stable nor continuous, and it does n’t make much sense if Greater Thousand Worlds separated by hundreds of millions of light years can pass Wormhole What is the meaning of space when connected together? If a Civilization took 10 million years to develop from hairless monkey to be able to control Starship, absorb stellar energy, and change the extent of the galaxy environment, but because of a wrong answer, in one second scattered ashes and dispersed smoke, then, what is the meaning of time? If a hundred Civilization can die so silently, then, the essence of Civilization, and a dead leaf in the violent wind, even an ant on the dead leaf, What's the difference?

"Surviving in such a universe, the universe may be a vast expanse of ocean, but this ocean is full of invisible traps, more like a doomed, cruel game, childhood Era I may not realize the cruel truth yet, but I think the game is very interesting, but I ca n’t mention the awe and cherishment of life and Civilization. I thought I lived in a fragmented and patchy dream, even I am a part of the dream, a telepathic thoughts of the "primary ancestor". "

When Li Yao heard this, I could n’t help but ask: “The original ancestor is the prehistoric Civilization that built the ancient ruins, Connecting Heaven Tower and ... the‘ black wall ’that enveloped the entire Pangu Universe?”

"Yes, it seems that you have found a lot of information alone, but it saves me most of the explanation."

Moon Watcher said, "When I gradually grew up, my father forcibly pressed it into the" Temple of Soul "and received the instillation of massive information, so that the wisdom of all categories, fields, and Civilization was left in my young mind. Under the deep imprint, even when I permanently change my Brain cortex, my dissatisfaction and confusion become more intense.

"Because, in the eyes of my little friends and I in childhood Era, this world is like this, unpredictable, unexplainable, even unexplainable.

"Hundreds of Civilization that tried the ultimate secret of the ancient ruins of Expeditions, fallen and annihilation.

"Even though my father ’s colleagues, that is, the parents of my little friends, there are many people who sacrifice in various strange and unbearable ways when conducting dangerous experiments and Expeditions work.

"Only one in ten of the victims can recover the whole body. Among the remaining victims, even mysterious disappeared for a full hundred years. Only a hundred years later, they fell from the sky with a bunch of dead bones and fell. The example of smashing According to the research of the latecomers, this victim was most likely to step into the air and fall into a special space-time gap. In this way, he has been falling, falling, and falling for a whole century, starving to death on the way. The corpse fell again in the endless gaps for decades, and reappeared only when the energy to maintain the space-time gap was exhausted.

"Although I was still young at that time, I did not have a particularly strong fear of death, but this kind of" walking into the sky, falling into the gap between time and space, falling in the void for a hundred years, and finally not falling to death but starving to death. 'Scared to death', this kind of death method is still a bit inexplicable.

"So, I asked my father, where did we come from, where would we go, and most importantly, what are we doing now?

"Obviously, in my childhood Era, our materials are abundant, technology is developed, and there are not too many natural enemies and foreign invasions. The most dangerous and unpredictable areas surround the countryside around the Silver City. Being marked out, as long as we are more cautious and do not seek our own way, life can be very safe, comfortable and stable.

"But why, my father and his colleagues must challenge taboos again and again, activate the Glyph Array that has been sealed for thousands of years, and repair the ancient war machines that are intertwined and glimmering at first glance, To release the deadly virus that is very likely to lead to the extinction of the ancient Civilization, even during rare rest periods, we must sit around the Connecting Heaven Tower, looking at the top of the Connecting Heaven Tower, which can never reach the vast starry sky, like being It took away the soul, absorbed all the vitality, and completely became its slave? What is all this for! "

"When I was a kid, no matter how much I struggled with my father, my father was often silent, unwilling to tell me the answer, and even sinking his face, squeezing out his few emotions left, and furious at me.

"In my impression, most of the time my father was polite, Gu Guwubo's image became more and more terrible when he was furious.

"I do n’t know until I grow up. Once I learn the truth, I will inevitably invest in real research. I will burn my life like my parents and other elders. Then, my divine soul may be eroded by the unpredictable power and the unpredictable universe, so I have to seal my emotions and will, and my childhood will be completely over.

"Father hopes that my carefree childhood will last for a few more years before he wants to tell me the truth so early.

"But this day has finally arrived.

"I will never forget that day, that morning, my mother became a black iron statue."
