Chapter 1015 Spiral
There is a camp in the forest, a military tent made of animal skins, and the former arrogant king of Doma City is lying weakly on the bed.
It rained all night last night. Perhaps because of the rain, his wound became more swollen.
It seems that not only the ancestors, but also the great Tree of Insof are standing by the Qiu people.
But why?
Those guys obviously couldn't hear the voice of the Tree of Insof, but they gained his favor.
Tunnan, who was lying on the bed, was puzzled, but his consciousness gradually became trance-like.
At this moment, he has not yet realized how insignificant he is to the world.
The person who defeated him was never the Qiu people, nor the ancestors, nor the Tree of Insof, but the arrogance and greed deep in his heart.
He thought he had understood the secret of the Tree of Innsof, but he did not expect that he was just an ant at the foot of the tree. The little things he had penetrated were not even fur, but just withered leaves and bark.
But it's not his fault.
The limitations of the times meant that he could only see things from the perspective of an ant.
The giants belonging to the forest tribes have not yet appeared, and the enlightenment of thought has not yet arisen.
Perhaps as time goes by, when his descendants finally walk out of this forest, truly light up the fire of civilization, step towards the stars, and get to know the Tree of Insof again... they may have different understandings.
But that will be an unknown number of thousands of years from now.
If their civilization can withstand the test of time and reach that day...
Looking at the weak leader, Sagui, who was sitting next to the bed, sighed softly and said in a trembling voice.
"...the prophecy finally came true."
Flame, corpse, death...
That was the revelation he received from connecting to the Tree of Insof, and he had seen it before the war began.
And all this actually happened.
He who is omniscient and omnipotent seems to have penetrated cause and effect, or in other words, He is cause and effect itself!
Shocked by the terrible karma, Sakwe pressed his left hand on his chest, held a handful of beast's ashes in his right hand and threw them into the fire. He murmured plausibly, repenting and praying to the great Tree of Insof and his ancestors.
.
Tunnan, who was squinting his eyes slightly, suddenly opened his eyes, and a rare trace of piety appeared on his angular and weak face.
"I saw the Tree of Insof... He was calling me."
Sakwe's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he held the young leader's hand, with a hint of pleading in his voice.
"Please don't leave us."
Tun Nan sighed and spoke slowly and breathlessly.
"I don't want to, but I don't have much time left... Not listening to the advice of my ancestors was the biggest mistake I made. The descendants of Doma City should remember this profound lesson."
When he said this, a rosy glow suddenly appeared on his weak face.
As if in a flashback, he raised his arm and took Saqui's wrist.
"I have to go back to Doma City and take me to see the ancestor...I want to apologize to him in person."
That was his last wish and the revelation he saw through the Tree of Insof.
That was the last thing he could do for his people.
Seeing the piety and determination in those eyes, Sagui nodded with tears in his eyes and agreed to the dying leader.
"good."
Under the escort of 300 remaining soldiers, the soldiers of the Doma tribe traveled day and night, and finally brought Tunnan, who was still half alive, back to Doma City before the sun set for the third time.
At this moment, outside the temple at the base of the holy tree, devout believers were prostrate beside the roots of the tree as thick as a mountain.
Thousands of fireflies are lingering under the majestic whirling canopy, turning the night into day and turning the green leaves into golden.
Seeing this incredible scene, the tribal warriors who returned from the front line opened their eyes wide, and the priests who accompanied the army had even more incredible expressions on their faces.
Even Tunnan, the most powerful "spiritual power" among their tribe, could not drive so many "Insects of Holy Light".
Normally, tribesmen who have awakened their spiritual powers can only control dozens or hundreds of animals.
But the "Insect of Holy Light" lingering here at this moment has lit up the entire holy tree!
The number is so large that it cannot be described in the language of the people of the Tree of Insof!
"The golden tree..."
Saqui murmured to himself, staring intently at the tree crown that seemed to be glowing.
He remembered an old legend.
Legend has it that at the beginning of the distant barbaric era, when everyone on this land lived in the Forbidden Forest Valley, the original holy tree that protected all living creatures looked like this!
Now that long-gone scene has once again descended on this forest, and on the sacred tree of the Doma tribe.
While he was ecstatic, Sakwe was even more confused.
In the end what happened?!
At this moment, he saw the temple maid kneeling at the entrance of the temple to pray——
The Dora who delivered the prophecy on behalf of the Forefather.
With pulsing and trembling steps, he quickly walked through the winding tree roots to the entrance of the temple.
Kneeling beside her, the old man put his hands together and prayed, establishing a spiritual connection with her and asked.
"What's going on here?"
Dora closed her eyes, there was no wave on her pious face, and her tranquil state of mind like a lake reverberated silently.
"...The tree of Insof sent a miracle, and the first ancestor heard His voice again."
Sagui was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression suddenly changed.
"The founder is still in there?"
Dora nodded slightly.
"We begged him to come out, but he refused..."
Sakwe was stunned on the spot. After coming back to his senses, he immediately got up from the ground and walked toward the entrance of the temple.
Dora did not stop him, she just opened her eyes and watched the figure disappear at the entrance of the temple.
Not long after, the old priest walked out of the temple with blank eyes.
His face was full of confusion and surprise... and gradually turned into panic and fear.
He was clearly walking towards the depths of the temple just now! However, while walking, he returned to the entrance!
Dora looked at him and said in that silent language.
"No one can enter the temple..."
"Without his permission."
She has tried many times before this...
…
The outside of the temple was as bright as day, and the interior of the temple was equally brightly lit.
Sitting on the bed surrounded by vines, Ye Shi quietly stared at the murals on the wall, feeling that his spiritual world was more fulfilling than ever before.
That's a wonderful feeling.
It's like opening two alt accounts on the same computer, and one of the alt accounts has entered the copy.
He had experienced this wonderful feeling once before when he was in the hyperspace channel, but he left in a hurry before he had time to think about it carefully.
Now as he sinks his consciousness into the surrounding environment and allows the divergent spiritual perception to spread around, the feeling of consciousness traveling through time and space has returned to him!
And unlike before, this time his consciousness in the "main world" did not fall into a deep sleep, but remained awake at the same time as his consciousness in the copy.
But on the contrary, this time he could not touch anything in the copy. He could only watch what happened quietly behind the fog through a layer of flickering fog.
This is probably "spiritual energy".
At first, Ye Shi felt a little overwhelmed by this bizarre situation, but now he is able to skillfully control this ability and independently choose the target to establish a connection with.
For example, at this moment, he connected his consciousness to the holy tree in Doma City. Through the growth pattern engraved on the root of the holy tree, part of his consciousness returned to more than 150 years ago, when this towering tree was just planted here.
While in a forest.
As he speculated, the sacred tree in the forest was indeed planted by the crew of the Gemini.
not only--
After some testing, Ye Shi was pleasantly surprised to find that not only could he establish a spiritual connection with the mural at the root of the sacred tree, he could even continue to activate his abilities while entering the dungeon, using the targets in the dungeon as a "springboard" to enter a new dungeon!
In other words, drag the "progress bar" forward! Drag it to more than 200 years ago before this sacred tree was planted!
Of course, this iteration cannot go on indefinitely.
When he used the target in the dungeon as a springboard to enter the new dungeon, what he could see was already quite blurry, as if a thicker layer of fog had enveloped the outside of the fog.
Through the fog of the void, all he could see were vague shadows, and all he could hear were the occasional fragments of words. There was no way to find a new "springboard."
However, even if you can hear and see only a few words, it's still quite good.
At least for Ye Shi, it is enough to help him combine the information on the murals to restore the history of this planet in the past 200 years!
At the end of the three-year war, Gemini and Orion respectively received orders regarding the "End War" plan.
Just as Captain Zhao Tianhe predicted, they received completely different orders from the sister ship Gemini.
Orion is the executor of the Endgame Plan and is responsible for restarting the earth's ecological environment and completely cleaning up the remaining harm of the Gaia Seed to help the shelter better rebuild the order of the United Nations era.
As for the Gemini, which has little ammunition, it is the supervisor of the plan and is responsible for monitoring the execution of the Orion's orders.
In fact, both parties had no choice from the beginning.
Especially when Gemini knew that there was a high probability that Orion would not carry out its mission, they had no choice but to strike first if they wanted to survive.
And even if they strike first, their probability of survival is very low. At most, they will end up dying together.
Such a victory is meaningless and even worse than defeat.
Therefore, Song Yuchuan, the captain of the Gemini, made an extremely risky and bold decision -
That is to upload the thoughts of all the crew members to the circuit board!
They will kill themselves before their opponents kill them, and then resurrect after dying together with their opponents to continue executing orders as androids.
This is the best solution they can come up with.
Between the survivors and the People's Federation, they chose the People's Federation without hesitation.
This plan was approved by most people. After all, they had no better choice, and most of their family members were also in shelters.
However, there are a few people who believe that uploading thoughts to a circuit board is tantamount to suicide, and that the "Armageddon" plan formulated by the Lagrange Point space station is even more stupid.
The correct way should be to talk to Orion. They believe there must be a way for everyone to survive.
Ye Shi could not see any more information about how this dispute occurred and how it ended.
Through the fog of the void, he could only see so much history from 200 years ago.
After all, it is not easy for the sacred tree above his head to truly understand this memory that "belongs to heaven."
What's more, the crew member who planted it obviously didn't want to recall those "old times".
The seventeen crew members were finally stuffed into the sleeping cabin, stuffed into the landing craft and launched into synchronous orbit.
Needless to say, what happened after that was basically similar to what Ye Shi saw on the hyperspace channel and the wreckage of the Orion.
The Gemini fired a landing craft loaded with neutron bombs and the "souls" of the entire crew at the Orion, while the Orion fired a neutron torpedo at the former just before entering the hyperspace channel.
The wreckage of the Gemini remained in the orbit of the planet Gaia, while the Orion jumped five light-years away with its crew in a superposition state of uncertainty about life and death.
As for the seventeen "exiled" crew members lying in the sleep cabin, they slept in synchronous orbit for nearly forty or fifty years, and finally woke up at the end of the Savage Era.
They landed on the planet Gaia in a landing craft, and discovered the descendants of the colonists on the planet - the green-skinned Gaians.
During the research and observation of those Gaian people, they gradually realized that the People's Federation's understanding of the planet Gaia was biased.
Or even downright wrong!
Whether this mistake was due to intentional misdirection by the colonial "radical forces" or the condescending arrogance and prejudice of the People's Federation itself is no longer known.
After studying the living habits and cultural customs of the Gaians, the seventeen crew members finally came to the conclusion——
There once existed an infinitely prosperous civilization on this planet.
And it is different from the people who just stepped into the starry sky.
The prosperity of this advanced civilization is far from being limited to the galaxy Nanmen II, and its footprints have even gone far beyond the scope of human civilization's cognition!
As for Gaia——
It's nothing more than the "ecological maintenance system" left by that advanced civilization on this planet.
I have to say, this discovery is quite fascinating.
Whether it is the existence of that advanced civilization itself or where they ended up.
After all, if even this "pioneer" whose achievements far exceed those of human civilization cannot escape the end of self-destruction, the decline of human civilization seems to be nothing to regret.
All things move from life to death, and from death to life, which is just a destined fate.
With curiosity about the "Pioneer" and the desire to reveal the "truth of the universe", the seventeen crew members temporarily gave up their plans to return home, and launched a series of investigations into Gaia and their sacred trees with the help of limited tools.
And after a series of explorations full of twists and turns, they finally discovered His existence!
That happened on the eve of the "Awakening Era". The first person to discover Him was Qiu Shiye, a physicist from Wubu.
These guys who are usually useless can always prove in inexplicable places that they are not as useless as they seem, but their usefulness is not obvious.
In short, after more than ten years of research, he finally analyzed the "psionic energy" possessed by the Gaians, and after awakening the spiritual energy, he discovered the existence of the "Insofian Tree", and then used the theory of dimensions to
It's explained!
These are the messages left on the temple murals.
After Ye Shi understood the content on the mural, he naturally inherited these clues, and like Qiu Shi who had "succeeded once", he had a direct conversation with "him"...
It was that conversation that made Dr. Qiu Shiye completely crazy and fell into hysterical madness.
Or in other words, it's just crazy.
He learned from the pioneers that there is a "Creator" in this universe, and everything in this universe, including himself, is just a character in a certain book or a mural on a certain wall.
If you want to control your destiny in your own hands, you can only break the "window of vision"!
That means breaking the fourth wall!
In Dr. Qiu's view, this is the fate that all civilizations must eventually experience. They will eventually face their creator!
And there was a living example in front of him - the "pioneers" who once existed in this universe had successfully done it and broke the barrier between them and the Creator!
In order to achieve this goal, he needed the reactor on the Gemini guided missile cruiser for further testing. For this purpose, the reactor needed to be dismantled and moved to the ground.
The other sixteen crew members naturally expressed their opposition to this crazy plan. After all, it was their only hope of returning home.
From the perspective of the other sixteen crew members, they had successfully excavated the entire ruins and it was time to leave.
Not to mention that they all suffered from madmen and were kicked off the ship for this.
In order to prevent this black sheep from doing outrageous things, they tried to lock him up, but unfortunately he escaped into the forest with his followers.
And these people are the later "Qiu people" - those "materialistic" natives who cannot perceive spiritual energy.
What happened next was the "Second Judgment Day" that all the natives in this forest are familiar with -
The burning palace fell to the ground!
It is worth mentioning that the mural in the temple of Doma City was not left by Dr. Qiu, but by one of the other sixteen crew members.
They brought the seeds of the sacred tree into the forest, nurtured a new sacred tree with the help of the indigenous people who had awakened their "spiritual energy", and recorded this history at the roots of the sacred tree.
It is precisely for this reason that the information on the murals actually contains a strong subjective color.
From a third-party perspective, Ye Shi tried to decipher the clues on the mural, and was suddenly surprised to find that this period of history was so similar!
Seventeen crew members disagreed over whether to follow the path of the "pioneers" and got into a fight.
Qiu Shi, who led the "sinful people" to conquer the Forbidden Forest Valley, undoubtedly won, but it was also undoubtedly a complete failure.
If the fourth wall was so easy to break, the "pioneer" civilization wouldn't have to put in so much effort.
Although there is no record on the mural, Ye Shi has already guessed what happened next.
Just like myself.
Dr. Qiu Shiye finally discovered the final truth.
"He" did break the fourth wall, but he did not become the "omnipotent" creator he imagined as a materialist.
And the sound he heard was not made by Him as the "Senior Creator", but was just the echo left by "Him" in this universe.
He never really had a conversation with Him.
I just said hello to the shadow "Him" left in this world...
"Gan! Isn't this the same as the 'First Judgment Day'?"
For the truth they believed in, the survivors of the three-year war fought again with unfinished things on the planet Gaia after the war.
History was like a circle repeating itself again and again, even turning around again right under his nose.
Thinking of the rain that made all the natives jump for joy and the smart-aleck Tunnan, Ye Shi couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and finally understood "him"'s meaningful ridicule when he first saw him -
You are always like this.
"It's funny."
