There is a poem called "I Didn't Speak", which tells the story of only caring about one's own interests in the face of evil, watching others being wronged, bullied, and persecuted, and not paying even a small price for social justice. Then one day,
When you need help, there will be no one to speak up for you.
Whether it was the light camp's worship of the giants or the evil dark people growing up in their hearts, they did not cause the giants to deviate at all. If monsters appeared, they would be destroyed, and if there were no monsters, they would disappear.
And this has also caused a lot of controversy, some yearning for mystery and greatness, some criticizing arrogance and disdain, but no matter what, they can't attract the attention of the giants, just like robots without emotions, rigidly carrying out their tasks.
Program', which is to destroy monsters.
Originally, if things continued like this, no matter how much worship or evil thoughts there were, they would never reach these giants who came and went without a trace, but the psychedelic flower suddenly bloomed.
The paradise that people have been searching for appeared in front of them in an instant. There was no need for hard work or hard pursuit, just a thought in the heart, everything you wanted could be realized in an instant, and everyone was immersed in bliss.
, surrounded by boundless happiness, experiencing this bliss that is hard to find in the world.
How difficult is addiction to break?
Put down your phone and see how long you can hold on, and you will know how difficult it is.
And the happiness brought by this psychedelic flower is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more powerful than a mobile phone. All the good things can be realized, and everything you can imagine appears before your eyes.
No one can refuse, I just want to keep it forever.
The monsters that produced the psychedelic pollen appeared, and so did the giants. However, looking at the people guarding the psychedelic flowers, the giants stood for a long time, then disappeared and never appeared again.
The giants who had no interaction with humans naturally lost their purpose of staying here when humans refused their help. They appeared and disappeared as suddenly as they appeared.
And people are happily experiencing bliss, even if some people know that this will not last long. After all, no one grows food, no one moves bricks, and no one is cut. How can society still function?
But they have all experienced the bliss. No one wants to be a hard-working cow or horse, or an honest leek. They just want to live in a dream and be immersed in this beauty for a longer period of time.
In the end, one after another, people fell to the ground with happy smiles. Their bodies were starved to death, but their spirits disappeared in happiness.
—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—
The light of the sand in Qianye Cheng's hand dimmed rapidly, and the picture that appeared in the light also changed from clear to blurry, until it completely disappeared, and this sand of time also disappeared without a trace, leaving only the dazzling array of flowers.
The ruins and the tangled roots on them are deeply imprinted in Chiba Cheng's mind.
The psychedelic flower that feeds on civilization!
In the beginning, they were just small and beautiful flowers, which looked just like other flowers in the flower bed. However, the more people it 'infected' with the pollen it released, the longer and thicker its roots and stems became.
By the time all the people on this planet died in the illusory beauty created by pollen, its roots had penetrated deeply into all corners of the planet, and its stems were more than ten meters thick, occupying the planet like a coiled and crouching dragon.
All lands of the planet.
Whether it's mountains or plains; whether it's cities or villages, they are covered with thick stems everywhere, densely packed like a huge net, enveloping the entire planet in it.
It looks like weeds growing wildly in the farmland, occupying all the sunlight and absorbing all the nutrients, leaving crops that should grow vigorously without any space to grow.
This is the case with this sand of time. Before the scene disappeared, this once vibrant planet had fallen into a dead silence. No birds were heard in the sky, no insects were heard on the ground, and even the vegetation was left with only rotten branches and leaves.
, all the animals and plants have disappeared, leaving only this psychedelic flower covering every inch of the planet.
No, it can no longer be called a flower, because after the extinction of civilization and the demise of the race, the flowers closed and no longer released pollen. They just grew, grew, and grew with all their strength until they were full on this planet.
What happened next? Because the Sand of Time lost its light and disappeared, Chiba Makoto could not see it, but he could probably guess it.
Anyone who cultivates land or flowers knows that when a piece of land has no nutrients, movable animals will migrate. Before the immovable flowers and plants wither, they will use various methods to deliver mature seeds to where they can take root and sprout.
The place.
Therefore, after a planet is completely sucked dry, the roots all over the planet will naturally wither and decay, and the seeds cultivated with the nutrients of the planet must be sent to other places in some way, waiting for the opportunity.
, then take root, sprout and grow again.
Repeating this cycle, like a chain reaction, the number of seeds will increase rapidly, and the number of planets that are 'sucked dry' will also double until...
"A certain threshold has been reached!"
Chiba Cheng murmured in a low voice. Although there is not much evidence, as long as you think about it seriously, you can imagine that if this trend continues, only one seed will sprout for the first time and suck a planet dry, but
Even if there are only two seeds grown, the second generation will suck up two planets, the third generation four, and the fourth generation eight...
There will definitely be seeds that fail to complete their 'mission' along the way, just like in this world, being wiped out by Da Gu, who is both light and human. But as long as the number increases, the failure of one or a few seeds will have an impact on the whole
It's not big, it can even be said to have no impact.
And as generations go by, one day, the number will become extremely terrifying, and the total amount of energy absorbed will be calculated by how many universes are filled.
The more Chiba Cheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. He took a deep breath and looked at the dark vortex that was very close at hand. It was so huge that it filled Chiba Cheng's field of vision. It was even darker inside and could not be revealed to the outside.
If you look inside, you can only see grains of golden sand flying out of it and then floating upward.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I don’t know where I came from, let alone where I am going.
Chiba Cheng stretched out his hand and gently held a grain of sand of time that had just flown out of the dark whirlpool. The faint light gathered in his palm, and a scene full of brilliance appeared in front of Chiba Cheng's eyes again:
The same brilliant civilization discovered light, developed light, and became brilliant because of light.
In the beginning, they built starships propelled by light. After subsequent technological development and a better understanding of the universe, they began to build giant island-shaped aircraft, with personnel inside, weapons and equipment outside, and a large space at the top for parking small ones.
The aircraft can capture comets and asteroids, or tow them back to the parent star, or perform rough processing on the spot.
...
—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—
I don’t know if it was this sand of time that floated out of the dark vortex. Because the light was still abundant, the pictures Qianye Cheng could see were clearer and more detailed, and they vividly displayed the creations.
use.
Chiba Makoto was amazed by this giant island alone. It was so creative.
This creation, named 'Mechanical Island' by TPC, is not for fighting, but for resource extraction.
The self-destructing robots inside are actually 'miners', which are equivalent to the original 'blasters'. They are used for rough processing of the universe. They blow up the excess rocks in the universe and bring back only the rich ore parts. This not only saves space.
, and can also reduce weight, thereby pulling back more minerals at once.
It is precisely through the large-scale development of resources in the asteroid belt that civilization has made leaps and bounds of progress. There is no need to consider which minerals are non-renewable, nor do we need to consider future generations, because there are more asteroids outside the solar system for them to mine.
A large amount of resources promote the rapid development and progress of society. The splendid civilization of light stands proudly in the solar system and moves towards the Milky Way.
Then...
Without any battle, darkness suddenly fell.
From the underground, from the ocean, and from the air, various monsters appeared one after another, wreaking havoc among cities, setting off waves on the sea, and diving and bombing in the air. Cities were reduced to ruins, countless people were displaced, and civilized
The development process came to an abrupt halt and even began to reverse.
When all efforts were in vain, the stars from the universe shone brightly, forming huge people of light one after another. On the ground, in the water, and in the air, they fought fierce battles with monsters, killing one terrifying monster after another.
The monsters are destroyed and disasters are put to rest one after another.
People who have experienced disasters and fear, unsurprisingly began to worship these giants of light, cheering for them, jumping for joy for them, and even paying homage to the erected statues.
For a time, entire civilizations regarded these giants as gods.
Slowly, the ugliness in human nature is revealed, and greed engulfs everything. The evil eyes are fixed on these giants who have great power and can easily climb mountains and reclaim seas. They have long lifespans and have not changed at all even after hundreds of years.
Giants.
But this time, evil spawned darkness, and dark giants quietly appeared and began to confront these giants of light from the stars. Although these dark giants also destroyed monsters, once they discovered the giants of light, they would immediately abandon the monsters and also destroy them.
To destroy the giant of light.
The two sides fought fiercely on the planet, causing greater damage than the monsters, and the fear they brought to the people was naturally extremely strong.
The war continues to spread, and the number of wars is increasing rapidly!
Until one day, the psychedelic flower suddenly bloomed, allowing the people who had suffered from the war to feel bliss and immediately immersed themselves in it.
Because the people are all attracted by the psychedelic flowers and no longer care about anything.
What light and darkness, what evil and goodness, all have no meaning.
For ordinary people, temporary happiness is the most important. What is the long-term plan, sacrificing this generation for the sake of future generations.
impossible!
Not to mention decades, even a few years and a few months are unbearable.
Therefore, pollen that can bring bliss is naturally very popular. Even if they know that it is drinking poison to quench their thirst, when they are about to die of thirst, few people really care. They can be happy for a while.
This civilization sank at a faster speed, and then no one paid attention or care to the war between the dark giant and the light giant, and it slowly disappeared, leaving only people lying all over the street, dying in joy.
Die happy.
The beautiful planet was once again occupied by endless vines, the fertile land was once again filled with greedy roots, and soon the entire planet lost its vitality.
The Sand of Time in Qianye Cheng's hand also lost its light, and finally disappeared from Qianye Cheng's eyes because of the lack of light.
"So this is the emergence of darkness." Qianye Cheng murmured in a low voice. In the last sand of time, there was no dark giant. Only the light giant continued to fight until the psychedelic flower appeared, causing
The people no longer need the giants of light, and if they let them leave, civilization will perish.
But in this sand of time, a dark giant appeared, and a war broke out with the giant of light, causing the people to suffer the suffering of the war, and thus became even more addicted to the beauty brought by the psychedelic flower, and thus moved faster
The speed is extinct.
"Why are these changes happening?"
Chiba Cheng frowned, thinking hard about the difference between these two sands of time, and why there was such a difference?
Could it be that...
It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through Qianye Cheng's mind, making Qianye Cheng think of a possibility.
Could it be that the algebra of the seeds is different?
For example, the psychedelic flower in the last Sands of Time was the third generation, and this Sands of Time is the fourth generation.
Because the fourth-generation seeds are the third-generation psychedelic flowers that were born after absorbing the energy of the planet, then during the absorption process, will they also absorb the "darkness" in the hearts of the perishing people?
And these darkness will take root and sprout with the seeds until they bloom, and then enter people's hearts along with the pollen, quietly affecting people's hearts, thus creating greater darkness?
This is like the accumulation of toxins in the biological world. Along the food web and food chain, the top predator is, the more toxins are accumulated.
Correspondingly, the lower the algebra of the seed, the more "dark" it contains, and the pollen produced will have a greater dark influence on people after it is absorbed by people.
You must know that the darkness in human hearts is huge. It does not seem impossible that such a huge darkness will give birth to a huge dark person.
Therefore, the dark giant of this civilization was born because the darkness absorbed by the previous seeds accumulated to a certain extent.
This further supports Chiba Makoto's previous speculation that the guy who created the psychedelic flower and spread the seeds from generation to generation is definitely waiting for the energy absorbed by the psychedelic flower to reach a certain threshold.
Quantitative changes can produce dramatic changes.
Just like the darkness in people's hearts, a single one is nothing and cannot change anything, but once accumulated to a certain extent, even a giant can be born.
