Chapter 443 Life Inheritance Carrier (8200 words chapter)
Listening to Feng Qi softly recounting his experience, Mu Yan's expression changed from nonchalant at first to serious, nodding his head in affirmation from time to time.
Time passes bit by bit.
In the polar night environment in the north, it is impossible to distinguish between day and night, and it is not clear how long has passed.
During the narration, Feng Qi also fell into memories following the memory scenes, and was unable to extricate himself from it.
When he finished speaking, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Mu Zhen was already standing beside him, smiling and rubbing his head:
"Thank you for your hard work, chess boy."
Reaching out to push away Mu Yan's left hand, Feng Qi, who had already escaped from the ocean of emotions, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He chose this path by himself and did not need anyone else's pity or heartache.
He spoke at this moment:
"Muzhen, it's my turn to ask now."
Hearing this, Mu Zi nodded vigorously, sat down across from the dining table, started eating, and then said:
"Ask, tell me everything you know."
"What is your identity?"
"Your guess is correct. My situation is very similar to that of Little Fatty Mo Yue. He is a clone created by Mo Yue's consciousness, and I am a clone created by Sun's consciousness. We walk in the world in this way."
After hearing Mu Yan's answer, Feng Qi fell into silence.
Through the information collected in the previous timeline, he and the Lord of Mist analyzed the origin of Mo's identity and had a rough guess about Mu's origin, so Mu's answer did not surprise him.
He then continued to ask:
"I still don't understand one thing. Why do you want to build the Road to Heaven and send the most potential warriors in mankind there? Doing so can certainly create a road to block the invasion of realm world forces, but the current situation of mankind is getting worse and worse.
Especially after 1500, the existence of Tongtian Road is meaningless to human beings. It would be better to let those warriors retreat to the human world... For example, building a human city similar to Star City, with strong people on Tongtian Road
Those who guard this city will have more room for growth, and perhaps they will be able to grow into a force that is not inferior to super powerful races."
Facing the inquiry, Mu Yan first picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, with an intoxicated look on his face, and then explained:
"The purpose of building the Tongtian Road is more to delay the invasion by the realm world."
"Facing the general trend, if the racial forces in the domain world want to continue to live, they can only invade the human world, so they will choose to invade the human world no matter what. The power of the human world cannot compete with the domain world, so Tongtian Road
It can only slow down the speed of the invasion, but it cannot completely stop it."
"So why does Tongtian Road exist? Shouldn't the best option be to tighten the human position and let these Tongtian warriors guard the position to buy time for human development?" Feng Qi frowned slightly.
"You are wrong. If there is no road to heaven to buy time for mankind, human civilization will not usher in the years of stable development achieved by holding on to the position, but a hopeless future. It may last for hundreds of years, but it will eventually perish in the future."
"How do you say this?" Feng Qi said solemnly.
"For example, the human world and the domain world are like two adjacent walls. One side is dyed red and the other is dyed gold. When the red wall is about to collapse, red starts to shift positions in order to survive.
, choose to invade the golden side. Every time red occupies an area with a golden wall, the gold on it will turn into red. The final outcome is that the gold will completely disappear and the world will turn red. That is, the domain world will completely engulf the human world and replace the human world.
"
"So the reason for building the Road to Heaven is that you, as a clone of the Sun Consciousness, don't want to be swallowed up by the realm world?"
After hearing Mu Yan's answer, a doubt in Feng Qi's heart was solved.
He had learned through the information from the Silver Moon Clan that there were advantages for domain forces to bring domain fields to the human world, but it was also the most risky move.
Yin Ling once told Lin Ran that there is a group of extremely powerful blockers on the Tongtian Road. They seem to have the ability to sense the field. If they are lucky, the Silver Moon tribe can carry the field through, but if they are not lucky, they will be in danger of annihilation.
The Silver Moon Clan, who did not want their people to take risks, chose to reduce the risk. After Yin Ling and other pioneer warriors were sure that they could adapt to the environment of the human world, they resolutely chose to abandon the clan's territorial field and come directly.
When he heard the news, he was very puzzled.
I don’t understand why there is such a huge gap in risk exposure between carrying a field field and coming directly.
Now after listening to Mu Yan's explanation, the doubts in his heart were cleared.
This is obviously related to Mu Zi. Bringing the domain field with you is like bringing a territory that can be dyed. After entering the human world, it will engulf a space in the human world. With the expansion and spread of the domain field, the devouring will continue.
, which is extremely harmful to the consciousness of the human world.
Therefore, in order to prevent this possibility from happening, Mu Zhen built the Tongtian Road and took the lead in targeting those domain forces that came with domain fields.
"Do you think I'm selfish?" Mu Yan asked with a smile.
"Perhaps...you have a reason to do this?" Feng Qi did not finish his words, because he had seen Mu Yan's memories, so he knew that Mu Yan always had good thoughts towards human beings.
"Well, if my body dies, even if human civilization still exists, it will have no room for development and will eventually perish. It is impossible to grow strong enough to compete with the peak groups in the field."
"Why?"
"Human beings are beings born under the laws of the sun. They can only be compatible with the rules of the domain world at best, but they cannot truly integrate... If the domain world completely engulfs the human world, even if humans still occupy a place in the world, all existing cultivation systems will
Most of them will be overthrown, and all their efforts will be in vain. They can only find another way to find a cultivation method that is more compatible with the domain world and abandon the existing cultivation system."
Hearing these words, Feng Qi was shocked.
He suddenly thought of the first few timelines and a piece of information he learned.
When he was investigating the dark period created by the Dawn Army, he had several important key pieces of information.
The first key information: Mu Qing formed the Dawn Army, betrayed humanity, and chose to be the enemy of humanity.
The second key message: Mu Qing led the Dawn Army to massacre the city, causing a loss of life...
The third key message is that Mu Qing began to vigorously promote the rune transformation plan and revived this project that the Scarlet Research Institute also planned to gradually abandon. From then on, a large number of rune warriors were born in the Dawn Army.
…
Combined with Mu Yan's explanation just now, he suddenly understood why Mu Qing would vigorously promote the rune transformation plan in the future.
Apparently Mu Qing learned the truth through Mu Jun.
I feel that since the ultimate destination of the existing cultivation system is to become nothing, if we want humans to be compatible with the rules of the domain world, only the Scarlet Research Institute's ultimate project "Rune Transformation Plan" can transform humans into life forms close to domain creatures.
Mu Qing is also one of the experimental subjects of the rune transformation plan.
Thinking about it now, Mu Qing was looking for a feasible new way out for mankind at that time, rather than launching the rune transformation plan in order to create more evil warriors as described in history.
After coming back to his senses, he looked up at Mu Yan who was enjoying eating.
If Mu Zi's explanation is the truth, the future of mankind is obviously closely related to Mu Zi's true identity, the "sun".
Moreover, when one is prosperous, both are prosperous, and when one is deprived, both are deprived.
Just like the main crystal base of both the enemy and ourselves in the confrontation mode of the game Breaking Dawn.
This also explains why Tongtian Road is so important.
The significance of the existence of Tongtian Road is to resist the speed of invasion by domain forces, and at the same time give human beings a breathing space for development. During this period, human beings can vigorously develop the growth path that is most suitable for them.
At that time, Mu Zi obviously anticipated the worst possible scenario.
In order to cope with the worst-case scenario, Yu Muqing initiated the further development of the rune transformation plan.
Thinking of this, he looked at Mu Yan and continued to ask:
"I understand the significance of the existence of Tongtian Road, but what I don't understand is why you didn't leave some strong men for human beings, but instead sent them all to Tongtian Road, causing the rear to be seriously compromised."
Hearing these words, Mu Yan, who was cooking, suddenly fell silent.
After pondering for a long time, she explained with a smile:
"Actually, I have trained many strong human beings, such as Emperor Ye, who must exist in your history textbooks. It was they who led mankind to resist the invasion of domain forces and created the five major cities today... After the turbulent period, mankind is facing
In the stage of rapid development, everything was prosperous, and the pressure from the invasion of domain forces was reduced. On the contrary, the pressure from Tongtian Road was increasing, so I sent them to Tongtian Road."
Speaking of this, Mu Yan suddenly sighed:
"This is a dilemma. If these warriors are left in human society, they can certainly allow the human race to develop stably in a short period of time, but this time is very short. If there is no Tongtian Road to create more time, the efforts at this time will be in vain.
Like Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, when this world is covered by the domain field, their efforts will be in vain, and they have to buy more time in order to create a power system that is enough for humans to compete with the domain-born races within this time."
"I have also hesitated about how to make a decision, and also consulted with Ye Huang and others... At that time, human society was relatively stable. Although there was pressure in the face of external threats, it would not reach the level of civilization extinction. In comparison, Tongtian Road
The increase in domain power accompanying the invasion has made it increasingly difficult, and the space of the human world is being eroded in large quantities. If we do not increase our power, the pace of invasion will further accelerate."
"So I took away batch after batch of miracle warriors. They carried the burden for the human race on the Tongtian Road and tried their best to gain time for development."
After listening to Mu Yan's explanation, Feng Qi fell into deep thought, and then asked:
"You must have not returned to human society for a long time, otherwise it would be impossible to allow the five major cities to be infiltrated by domain forces."
"I have been away from the human world for a long time, and I have never returned during this period, so I have allowed the latent forces in these fields to succeed." As she said this, Mu Xun couldn't help but show her teeth. It seemed that the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She subconsciously waved her fist angrily.
Mu Yan's explanation made Feng Qi stunned.
If Mu Zi was still here, he would definitely find some clues, and it would be impossible to allow domain forces to penetrate into human society.
No wonder she doesn't know anything now.
"Where have you been all these years you've been away?"
"Went to the void world."
"Void?"
This is not the first time Feng Qi has learned about the existence of void.
In a future dream, he went to the Shadow City built by the Lord of Shadow City through an illusory teleportation array, and that city was suspended in the void.
The narrator's explanation of the void is that it is a special space that is attached to the realm world and the human world. The environment inside is extremely harsh and is simply not a place where ordinary flesh-and-blood creatures can survive.
The reason why Shadow City can exist in the void is also thanks to the space barrier protection layer that the Lord of Shadow City spent a huge amount of resources to build.
What Feng Qi was curious about was, what did Mu Jun do in the years after he disappeared?
Thinking of this, he immediately asked:
"Muzhen, why did you go to the void world?"
"There is a broken floating island in the void world. There are many things left over from life in the previous era. It is also the place where I learned the truth about the world. As a result, I was trapped on that island and I have not been able to escape until now."
"Last era?" Feng Qi was stunned:
"Are you referring to the era in which Pillar God lived?"
Mu Yan swallowed the food in his mouth, and then nodded solemnly:
"Yes, it is most likely a historical relic left behind by the Pillar God's era. I learned many truths about this world there."
"Have you never come into contact with the Pillar God?"
"How could I have come into contact with him? He was a superpower from the last era, or even several eras ago. I was born in this era, so of course I have never come into contact with the Pillar God."
Hearing these words, Feng Qi was suddenly confused.
He originally wanted to ask Mu Zhen for information about Zhu Shen, but he didn't expect that Mu Zhen didn't know Zhu Shen either.
"Then do you know the origin of the miraculous items?"
The origin of the miraculous items was one of the doubts that always troubled him.
If Mu Zhen couldn't give him an answer, he really didn't know where to find the truth.
"I found some incomplete pieces of information on that ruined island, and I can roughly piece together some answers. The miraculous items should be relics left by the lives of the Pillar God Era to the lives of this era."
Hearing that Mu Yan knew this information, Feng Qi suddenly became energetic and asked immediately:
"Tell me more about it."
Mu Yan did not explain this problem. He puffed up his cheeks and said:
"Actually, like you, I have also doubted whether this world is a game or the real world, because many settings of this world are very similar to many online games developed before the human disaster."
“The most puzzling thing to me is what kind of existence the domain world and the human world are, but I found the answer in online games... If you have played online games, you will find that the domain world and the human world are different.
The setting is very similar to the game.”
After pondering for a long time, Mu Jun continued:
"The human world is like the player's main world, and the domain world is like the player's strategy world, which can also be called a copy world, so the world there is divided into different small worlds, just like the different difficulty levels in the game.
There are dungeons, and each dungeon has different races, which can produce different resources after conquering them."
Hearing this, Feng Qi couldn't help but frown.
He doubts the authenticity of this world due to the many functions of miraculous items.
Hearing what Mu Yan said at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was a greater chance that this world was a game. The domain world was just like what Mu Yan said, it was like a replica world in the game.
"What's your answer?"
"I don't know, but Little Fatty Mo Yue said that he has studied the rules and principles of this world and feels that this world is most likely true."
"Do you have a good relationship with Mo Yue?" Feng Qi was stunned.
"We used to have a good relationship. I often went to the realm world to have big meals, and he often came to the human world to play...until he came up with the idea of a bird occupying a dove's nest and wanting to devour me."
"I found that Mo is not very strong. With your strength, you can kill him, right?"
"I can only kill his conscious clone. There is only one way to kill him completely, and that is to defeat all the fields in the domain world. Just like what you described 1500 years later, Mo Yue dyed the entire world.
As scarlet, there is only one way to die between him and me, and that is to be covered."
After listening to Mu Yan's description, Feng Qi had a clearer understanding of the human world and the domain world.
Mu Zhen is the conscious clone of Taiyang, and Mo is the conscious clone of Mo Yue.
They represent the human world and the domain world respectively.
But in comparison, Mu Yan's role is obviously greater than Mo Yue.
Both are avatars of world consciousness. Mu Zi represents the entire human world, but Mo Yue cannot fully represent the domain world. Even without Mo Yue, there are still different small worlds in the domain world, and each small world has its own consciousness.
with rules.
But humans cannot live without Mu Jun.
If Mu Zi falls, the rules of the human world will be completely disrupted.
This is why Mu Zi said that if the realm world completely takes over the human world, the upper limit of human growth will be suppressed and it will be impossible to develop a growth method that is most suitable for the human race.
No wonder Mu Qing set the rune transformation plan as one of the main growth routes of the Dawn Army in history.
Although this path is not the first choice, it is necessary.
If the Tongtian Road defense line collapses and the realm world completely takes over the human world, it will be difficult for humans to find a way out without the sun.
Thoughtful, he couldn't help but nod secretly.
At this moment, he still had many unanswered questions in his mind. He looked at Mu Yan and continued to ask:
"Muzhen, I once had contact with Mo in a timeline. He said that human beings are the sealing vessels of the strongest. How do you interpret this sentence?"
"Oh, this is an answer that he and I pieced together through the partial information remaining there when we explored the ruined island."
"Tell me more about it. Any information you provide will affect me in formulating a new future line."
Mu Zhen nodded:
"Mo Zeng and I learned a piece of information while exploring the ruined island. I don't know exactly how long this piece of information has existed. After we interpreted the remaining damaged information, we understood the general meaning."
"I heard from Mo that this message should have been left by those pillar gods who died inexplicably. They were looking for a way to pass on their knowledge and power to the next era, but they seemed to have encountered a dilemma and didn't know how to use it.
How can we preserve their traces?"
"I didn't understand." Feng Qi said with a puzzled expression.
"For example, if you want to preserve a piece of information and pass it on to your grandchildren, what method would you choose?"
"The way I record information is a notebook." Feng Qi replied decisively.
"Your method is correct, but how much can you record with a notebook? The knowledge of the Pillar Gods is extremely vast. Even if all the paper in the world is added together, it will not be enough to record. What is even more difficult is that even if you can use
Paper records, how long can this knowledge be preserved? Don’t forget, paper will corrode.”
"Except for paper, mankind's most advanced recording methods are almost ineffective in the face of time. Hard drives, databases, and even words engraved on stones. These methods may be able to record information for hundreds, thousands, or ten thousand years... and can extend the time.
In 100 million years, a billion years, or tens of billions of years, all the means that humans can use to record will be wiped out. In the distant future, there will be no traces of human beings. Everything will be annihilated by the corrosion of time... Even if it is strong
Even the God of Pillars cannot find an information recording carrier that can truly resist the corrosion of time."
After hearing these words, Feng Qi was confused:
"I don't understand, what does this have to do with us humans?"
"Of course it's related. The discovery that Mo and I made can prove that humans were originally created by the Pillar God, and are most likely the continuation of the Pillar God's life, or the carrier of the Pillar God's power and knowledge."
Seeing that Feng Qi's expression was gradually becoming confused, Mu Yan continued to explain:
"When Pillar God was studying how to store knowledge and power, he discovered that there is only one thing that can truly resist the corrosion of time, and that is the inheritance of life."
"Explain it in words you can understand. 1 gram of DNA can store 455 EB of information, so the amount of information that human DNA can store is very huge. At the same time, DNA can also copy and pass on the stored information to the next generation, so that the next generation can continue
Preserve information and then pass it on to the next generation... This is a relay of life inheritance, and every inheritance is new life."
After hearing Mu Yan's explanation, Feng Qi was immediately confused:
"Even if DNA can be passed on to the next generation, it will change. After multiple generations of inheritance, the original information of the gene should be disrupted. Wouldn't the information stored through life inheritance be disrupted?"
"Reorganization and changes of genes do not mean that information will be lost. It is like those electronic locks that change passwords regularly. Changing the password on the surface does not mean that the internal storage will change. Even if it does change, it can be reversed.
There are many ways to change the process to restore the original information."
"You can understand that the Pillar Gods are about to fall for some reason, but they hope to pass on power and knowledge to the new era in the future, so they created humans who can carry knowledge and power. In order to ensure that this information will not be lost, they set up
There are many complex protective mechanisms, such as human beings’ instinctive desire to reproduce, which may be one of the settings.”
"With the process of reproduction, the carriers of knowledge and power are constantly dispersed, resulting in some humans being equipped with miracles, while some humans are not equipped with miracle items."
After listening to Mu Yan's explanation, Feng Qi gradually understood why Mo would call human beings sealed vessels.
"Any other information?"
"Yes, Mo Zeng guessed that humans may be another form of life continuation of the Pillar Gods. The Pillar Gods know that they cannot escape the crushing force of the general trend, so they store their information in a substance that you humans call ribonucleic acid.
, passed it on to the next era, and eventually evolved into the current human form, trying to avoid the final crisis."
After listening to Mu Yan's explanation, Feng Qi suddenly understood something, and he said at this time:
"So the miracle you are looking for is actually human beings themselves, right?"
"Yes, Mo and I worked together to develop a method that can activate the mysterious power hidden in the human body. However, this method is not effective for all humans. Only those with potential who reveal some of their abilities can be activated through my method.
The mysterious power within the body.”
Mu Yan's explanation solved a doubt that had always been lingering in his mind.
It turns out that Tianshu, Ye Huang, Wei Wei... they themselves are in a state of semi-activated potential, and Mu Yan only played a role in fueling the flames. This also explains why Mu Yan is always looking for miracles instead of creating miracle warriors.
Thinking of this, new doubts emerged in his mind.
"What are those miraculous items? Are they the embodiment of special powers separated from the human body?"
Faced with the inquiry, Mu Zhu nodded and shook his head:
"I don't know. Human beings and miraculous objects already existed when I was born. According to the information I found on the ruins island, the power of many pillar gods has not been retained. Perhaps it is these pillars that have not been qualified to inherit.
God embodied his power and turned it into miraculous items, which caused most of the miraculous items to be broken and split under the corrosion of time. As long as time lasts long enough, these miraculous items will eventually turn into
Nothingness becomes part of the fabric of the world.”
Mu Yan's explanation made Feng Qi fall into deep thought.
It can be seen that much of the information Mu Zi learned was only guesswork based on limited clues.
But what the specific truth is, even Mu Zhen cannot give a definite guarantee.
After all, Mu Zhen was born in this era, but Zhu Shen was a being from the previous era.
Miracle objects have already existed from the moment Mu Zi was born. She and Mo are also seekers of the truth of the world.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the Lord of the Mist.
There is also a miraculous item inside the main body of the mist, and this miraculous item has been passed down through bloodline to this day.
Even the Lord of the Mists himself did not know that there was an artifact hidden in his bloodline.
But what puzzled him was why the ancestors of the Mist Lord were able to obtain that part of the information by licking the blood left by the Pillar God.
Thinking of this, he immediately expressed his doubts to Mu Yan.
Facing the inquiry, Mu Yan looked thoughtful, and then said:
"In fact, most of the miraculous items on the outside are in a damaged state. The very few that are not damaged may have withstood the corrosion of time... After all, the Pillar God must not have expected when the new era will be born. The longer it must be preserved, the better.
, life inheritance is the safest way, other miraculous items are allowed to be corroded by time, and may be preserved until the new era, or may dissipate under the corrosion of time."
Hearing this, Feng Qi couldn't help but nod.
Mu's analysis is not unreasonable.
Perhaps the miraculous items from the outside world are the power and knowledge that the Pillar God gave up. If this part of power and knowledge is allowed to withstand the corrosion of time, whether it can be left to the next era will be left to chance.
This may be the reason why most of the miraculous items that are nearly indestructible are in a mutilated state.
Regarding this issue, Feng Qi did not think about it in detail. He looked at Mu Yan and continued to ask:
"Do you know how you were born?"
"I don't know. When I was born with consciousness, I found myself suspended in the human world. At that time, primitive humans already existed in this world. Mo was the first friend I met while exploring the world. He was very confused about his origins like me.
We have all doubted whether we are also special consciousnesses created by the Pillar God."
"Why do you say that?"
"Mo and I parsed a piece of broken information on the Miracle Island, which probably means this: Our continuation will challenge us again in another form."
"My understanding of this sentence is that the Pillar Gods knew that they would die, but they did not choose to surrender to the unknown. They planned to leave their power and knowledge to the next era in the form of inheritance, so that those who control their power
Life in the new era challenges the unknown again and tries to defeat it."
Feng Qi nodded at this moment:
"The unknown in your mouth should refer to the coming of the general trend, right?"
"Mo and I also think the same way. We feel that Zhu Shen may have challenged the advent of the general trend before the emergence of our era and failed, so he left many successors to the new era. It is very possible that Mo and I are also Zhu Shen.
The inheritance of life left by God to the new era.”
"Even the Pillar Gods cannot escape the coming trend. Can we really resist it?"
"We should lose, but we shouldn't sit back and wait for death. We must learn to resist." A bright smile appeared on Mu Yan's face. As he spoke, he stuffed the chicken drumstick in his hand into his mouth. He closed his mouth and pulled hard to pull out the bone.
.
Looking at the infectious smile on Mu Yan's face, Feng Qi also smiled:
"Yes, I will never give in even if I fail."
As they looked at each other and smiled, their hearts resonated.
He found that Mu Zi and he were the same kind of people. The only difference was that Mu Zi always had a heartless and optimistic attitude.
"Any more questions?" Mu Yan asked curiously at this time.
"Of course...by the way, can you extend my life for me?"
"Well, it doesn't seem possible. Weiwei's long lifespan is her own potential. I didn't directly give her a long lifespan, so... you know."
"Why don't you see if there is any hidden potential in me? Maybe my genes have the power and knowledge of a certain pillar god hidden in my genes. After activation, I can gain a long life like Sister Wei and Tianshu."
"I just observed you carefully. You are very ordinary and not a person with potential. Give up."
Feng Qi:......
Faced with Mu Yan's denial, Feng Qi sighed in his heart, knowing that he would inevitably die.
He no longer thought about this problem and decided to continue to learn more intelligence information from Mu Yan. He still had a lot of questions that were not answered.
"Muzhen, what is the origin of the scarlet rune crystal on Mu Qing's body?"
"Who is Mu Qing?" Mu Zhen was stunned.
"Do you still remember that you once gave a scarlet rune crystal to the first director of the Scarlet Research Institute? In order to find an adaptor for this rune crystal, the Scarlet Research Institute conducted countless experiments. From the establishment of the Scarlet Research Institute
It has taken hundreds of years to search, and Mu Qing is the only scarlet adaptor and the current owner of the scarlet rune crystal."
Hearing these words, Mu Jun stood up suddenly, his eyes shining:
"Is there an adaptor for the scarlet rune crystal?"
"Well, it has already appeared...so, what is the origin of this rune crystal?"
