"So...is this the truth you want me to see? Another book called "Self-Awakening" that Yougege has not published?" Zhuo Zhiwen asked. www.
Han Kongwen shook his head and said, "You are only half right."
"Um?"
"These things were indeed found from Yu Gege, but it is hard to say whether they are fragments of Yu Gege's memory or real things... As for whether there is another "Freedom Awareness" that has not been announced to the public...
…I think it should exist, but it has nothing to do with any of this.”
"Tsk... you confused me. Since you said it was Yougege's memory fragment, why is there still a truth or falsehood?"
"Because this is one of the powers that Yougege has after completing his transformation."
"Oh? What's more specific?"
"Constructing an imaginary reality."
This time Zhuo Zhiwen understood, but she still felt very incredible.
Why is it Yougege? How did she obtain her transformation? Why did she do this?
So Zhuo Zhiwen then asked: "What is the purpose of all this?"
"We are still investigating."
"Ah?" Zhuo Zhiwen frowned: "You don't want to tell me that you are also in the fog and don't understand it at all, right?"
Han Kongwen shook her head again, this time with a smile, and said: "Actually, I already have some features, but it is relatively troublesome to sort them out."
Zhuo Zhiwen: "Then have you combed it?"
Han Kongwen said nothing, she closed her eyes, and then Zhuo Zhiwen felt a massive amount of information pouring into her memory.
The process was fierce and rapid.
When the memory synchronization was completed, Han Kongwen gave Zhuo Zhiwen some time to adapt.
After a long time, she asked: "How is it? Did you find anything?"
Zhuo Zhiwen held her forehead, feeling nauseated and wanting to retching. This was a problem caused by excessive weakness.
"I found a lot...but it's very messy..."
Han Kongwen smiled, took out a crystal plate, and combed through it one by one.
"Then let's sort it out from the starting point of it all."
"starting point……"
"Yes, starting from when we received the distress signal from Earth."
…
We were very surprised when we received a distress signal from Earth.
But we are just surprised, because we know that the person who sent this signal may have been dead for many, many years.
However, when we began to analyze this distress signal, we found that it was not a "cry for help" in a simple sense, but more like a warning, a warning from the past for us in the future.
"warn?"
Yes, warning.
We may have misunderstood it from the beginning and simply thought it was a tragedy.
But in fact, our ancestors are warning us in this way.
Warning us that what happened on Earth in the past is about to happen again on our new home planet Gaia.
"Oh...what happened on Earth...are you referring to the cause of the 'Spark Origin Project'?"
Yes.
For a long time, our scientific researchers and historians have been trying to find the reason why humans fled the earth. However, most research reports contain too many guesses and rules, and no one can specifically explain why we left.
Earth.
It wasn't until we discovered the "factor" that all this became somewhat clear.
"'Factor'...well...this thing is indeed very mysterious...but I didn't expect that in order to continue our own civilization, we would actually use the 'factor bomb' on Gaia..."
This is Prometheus's decision, and it's a thing of the past.
The "factor" we are talking about now is not the part used as a weapon, but the part used to touch time.
"Touch time?"
Yes, our researchers have recently found a way to use factors to achieve biconical symmetry collapse in space, and based on this technological breakthrough, you and I can sit across from each other like this and discuss the problem.
“What if we didn’t have this technology?”
Then we will complete the exchange of consciousness at an uncertain time, which is what we think of as the two-way "invasion" between the past and the future.
"That is to say...this kind of consciousness exchange is now controllable and can be achieved face to face, right?"
Yes.
"Then...where is this place we are now? Is it the Earth? Or is it Gaia?"
No, here is a part we extracted from Yougege's memory, and it is one of the more specific clues we currently have.
"Memory extraction...Super Yuan intervention?!"
Your insight is very strong. Here we do use a technology similar to super-element intervention, but we have made some improvements.
"You...have mastered the ability to travel through time and space?"
It's not that exaggerated... but we have found a way to break through the time paradox. The wrong path we took before was too long, but we finally found the right direction.
"It's incredible... Then you should be able to find the truth easily. Why are you still lingering here?"
The reason is simple, because when we use this technology to peek into the world, we find that... humans disappeared long before the birth of the Fire Origin Project.
"What?! How is that possible?"
Right... When I first saw this reality, I thought I had been deceived. But many years later, when I used the same technology to peer into the past, I found... that it was the truth.
Humanity……
became extinct at an undetermined point in time.
"No! If humans are extinct, what is your history? A whole lie?"
No, human extinction is a fait accompli, as is our existence. The problem is how to view time.
"How do you think about time?"
Yes.
We have always believed that time is like a road of no return, and that the fate of countless people is intertwined to form the complete trajectory of human history.
In the usual sense, if we could go back in time, history would be changed. That is to say, I might kill my father and then disappear. This is a classic time paradox.
"Isn't it right?"
Yes, according to the usual logic, this theory is completely consistent and almost perfect.
But in fact, the past we went to has become our future, which means that we are not returning to the past, but putting the past in front of us. Through this repeated road, we will see
Many familiar scenery.
But on this road, even if we kill ourselves, we at this moment will not disappear.
Because we come from the past, not deny the past.
"This is really hard to understand..."
It's a bit puzzling.
But if you compare time to a measuring stick, your past existed between 2 centimeters and 5 centimeters, and at this moment you are 6 centimeters away.
At this time, you perfectly reproduce the time of 2-5 centimeters in the past into the future you are about to face.
So is the period between 6-9 centimeters that you experienced exactly the same as the period between 2-5 centimeters?
"...It's different, I seem to understand..."
That's good.
"But I still have a question."
What?
"If I don't kill myself, when I pass 9 centimeters, will I meet another self at 10 centimeters?"
Won't.
"Why?"
Because the universe is diverse, what you experience at this moment will not completely change the future you will face at that moment.
It's like an inescapable prison.
Even if we can repeat everything we have experienced in the past infinitely, the memory trapped in it can only exist in that fragment.
In other words, when you really pass the 9cm position, even if you are walking with yourself, she will stop at 9cm and never be able to take another step forward.
"Is this the basic rule for super-yuan intervention?"
Yes.
The reason why I can answer you so clearly is because there was a person who tried to change the past and brought back those people in his memory from the past.
But he failed... again and again...
"...I understand, so how does this relate to the problems we are facing now?"
What?
"Since we can't change the past, then after the extinction of mankind, who turned things around and started the 'Origin of Fire'?"
Don’t you want to know how we became extinct in the first place?
"There are many ways of extinction, but since the ending is the same, why bother paying attention to the details."
Yes, it is……
After the extinction of humankind, according to our current understanding of time, we will never have the opportunity to start the "Origin of Fire" project.
unless……
"unless?"
Unless the reality we glimpse is fiction and an uncertain variable that exists on the other side.
It hasn't happened yet and may change.
"It's not possible, but it has been changed, right?"
Do you really think so?
"Isn't it? You come from the future, from the Gaia star. Isn't this the best proof?"
No...I don't think so.
"Then...then what do you mean?"
I have been exposed to many incredible things throughout my life.
The first incredible person in my life was Yang Yurong.
She took me to see reality.
But I think it's all an illusion.
Sunrise and sunset, three hundred and sixty-five days, this high wall in front of us is reality.
Like a prisoner who has been imprisoned for decades.
I no longer try to break through it. I accept it all with peace of mind and cannot live without it.
Until...until he showed up.
Once upon a time, like him, I firmly believed that breaking through the shackles and allowing human beings to embrace freedom could bring about transcendent civilizational progress.
Going to the unexpected discovery, there is an absolute power called "Central Curtain" above the world after breaking through the golden birdcage.
Under its power, humans are like a group of naughty and willful children.
No matter how many times you fight, the result is the same.
"Same...that's wrong...when the Transcendent appeared for the last time, didn't Lin Sen already use the power of the Wall of the Soul and the Kabbalah of Light to deceive the Anyou people and deceive the central curtain?"
…
Han Kongwen shook his head.
"No...he didn't leave because of victory...but because he was still a long way from the truth."
"This..." Zhuo Zhiwen didn't know what to say when she heard this.
