Under the illumination of the Silver Dragon's headlights, Xiao Ran saw a yellow-brown stone mountain, or a complete boulder, more than 70 meters high and 300 meters wide.
A long cave was carved out of the boulder.
The fire was burning in the cave.
Regina had never heard of this place, and Yuchen could not find any information on the Internet. After entering the longitude and latitude, there were no places of interest here.
The bare boulders seemed to fall from the sky and suddenly appeared here, which was a bit mysterious.
What the hell are the authorities doing?
Xiao Ran observed carefully and found nothing unusual. The space-time field was very calm, so calm that there seemed to be no living beings.
When we get close to the boulder, the temperature rises to minus 70°C.
This shows that the fire in the cave has great energy.
Stone Mountain is right next to the track. Xiao Ran parked the Silver Dragon on the track, picked up his water cup, and walked towards the cave.
He thought it was a temple, but he didn't see the statues that are common in temples.
Stepping into the cave entrance, a warm breeze hit you.
It made Xiao Ran feel much more comfortable.
In the dim light of the fire, he saw that the rock wall was covered with paintings. There were various animals such as cattle, horses, ostriches and camels. There were primitive humans hunting, dancing and kneeling to worship the sun. There were also sword-wielding warriors fighting strange demons.
.
Xiao Ran concluded that the history of these large murals was tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, the Sahara should have been a prairie, not the desert it is now.
This is a mysterious ancient ruins!
In the extremely silent atmosphere, only the sound of burning flames could be heard.
The flames encountered the extremely cold air blowing from outside the cave. In the tenacious struggle, the flames kept bursting out and beating ceaselessly.
呲呲呲呲…… 呲呲呲呲……
Sparks kept flying in the wind, flying very high, spreading out in all directions, and then little red lights disappeared into the cold black sky.
It gives people an indescribable feeling.
…
Xiao Ran realized.
First of all, Stone Mountain was not created in a hurry. It has always been here, but it is located in the hinterland of the desert and has not been discovered.
Secondly, the contents of the murals belong to the relics of ancient civilizations and are not casual graffiti by modern people. They were deliberately introduced into the Metaverse by someone.
Finally, the fire and the murals must have special meaning to this person, and this person must not be an ordinary person, so that the M authorities can fulfill his wish.
"Regina," Xiao Ran asked softly, "I heard you say that among the masters in the front, there is only one person related to fire."
"Yes, it's Duke Spark, brother," Regina replied, "But this man is very mysterious and rarely interacts with others. I don't know him well. In fact, those so-called masters are mysterious.
Everyone has their own little world."
It's like this. For all the top-ranked masters, the Yuanverse authorities have spent a lot of effort to design corresponding inheritance, beliefs and sources of force for them, such as the Yellow Witch.
This fire should belong to Duke Spark.
What else can be said?
Xiao Ran was very interested.
…
Xiao Ran is very interested in various human beliefs.
It contains simple wisdom that can enlighten the minds of future generations.
Looking at a blazing flame on the stone platform dozens of meters away.
Xiao Ran thought of his master's teachings.
He heard his master Zhu Long say that when a civilization reaches the realm of invincibility and immortality, its next greatest pursuit is to explore the mysteries of the universe.
There are countless civilizations in the universe, and as of 3033, humans have just entered the threshold of second-level civilization.
A first-level civilization is called a planetary civilization and can only control the planet it is on, such as the Earth.
The second-level civilization is called stellar civilization, which can use the energy of the stars in the galaxy to immigrate and control the entire galaxy, such as the solar system.
Level three civilizations are called inter-galactic civilizations, which can break out of the galaxy where they are located and move towards a broader universe, such as the Milky Way.
The fourth-level civilization is called cosmic civilization, which can develop and utilize the energy of the universe beyond human imagination, such as Yuanli. Xiao Ran's master Zhulong belongs to the fourth-level civilization.
There are five, six and seven levels above, which for humans already belong to the realm of gods and are beyond the scope of understanding.
There is one thing that is completely different from human cognition.
For example, the law of the dark forest only exists under the third-level civilization.
Different civilizations compete for resources, plunder and kill each other, and engage in cruel civilizational competition.
But as long as you evolve to the fourth level of cosmic civilization, you will be out of the dark forest.
Higher civilizations are no longer interested in lower civilizations.
It will not easily interfere with the development of lower civilizations.
Just like human beings generally will not destroy ant nests, unless the ants cause harm to people, they will take action to eliminate them.
What advanced civilizations are most interested in is thinking about the origin and birth and death of the universe. Their goal is whether they can escape from this universe and enter a mysterious super time and space. Or, slow down the expansion rate of the universe and extend the existence time of the universe. Or
, can we create a new universe when the universe is about to be destroyed?
The realm is different, and the pursuit is different.
"Human beings are a special kind of creature with a unique understanding of the universe." Zhulong once said to Xiao Ran, "Unfortunately, the aggressive side of human nature is difficult to eradicate, and eventually loses the protection of higher civilizations."
That is to say.
Gods, higher civilizations, once guarded the development of mankind.
But human performance has disappointed advanced civilization.
So exterminations happened again and again, and in the end, only Xiao Ran was left as a human being of flesh and blood.
"The last hope lies with you, Xiao Ran." Zhulong laughed, "It seems a bit contradictory that a person who is best at fighting should take on the mission of rebuilding human civilization."
Xiao Ran's heart trembled when he heard his master say these words.
Master, what does this mean?
Could it be said that there is no way for Xiao Ran to survive?
He worried too much.
Master said that Xiao Ran had one chance to rebuild human civilization, one last time.
He must eliminate the two worst evils of mankind: warlikeness and ignorance.
So after Xiao Ran returned to the past, his mission was to eliminate all warlike people through fighting and build a new civilization for good. Of course, in order to get out of the cruel dark forest, he also had to lead the united humans to fight against the evil low-level aliens.
Star race.
Eventually, we will bring humanity to the fourth level of civilization.
This is an extremely difficult task.
This means that Xiao Ran has to go through countless cruel battles, but he still has to stay awake and cannot go astray.
The standards for measuring higher civilizations are, first, the degree of control over the energy of the universe, and second, the purity of one's own soul. One cannot do either of them.
Xiao Ran's mission is to take humans to ascend.
…
On the dark earth shrouded in war and ignorance, Xiao Ran is the last fire.
Like the blazing fire in front of me.
The scene stirred up emotions and gave rise to many emotions, but it only took a few seconds.
