The image of the nine-life cat demon became clearer and clearer in Yang Yu's mind.
There is no doubt that the Nine-Lived Cat Demon is an artificial intelligence created by ancient humans.
"The Queen just said that your clan is maintaining the magic system. What exactly is your job?"
The Queen waved her finger, and cups of steaming cocoa fell from the sky in front of Yang Yu and the others:
“It will take a lot of time to talk about them one by one.
The operation of the maze and teleportation magic are all within our responsibilities.
There is also relevant content in the book you brought.
If you read that book completely, you will also know the mystery of our existence."
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty."
Handing the book to Queen Jinzhi again, Yang Yu took out his notes.
The Queen knew that she slowly turned the first page of the book, projected the contents into the air, and revealed the dusty past to Yang Yu and the others.
The person who wrote this book was called "Wundt". He lived in an era of great prosperity yet full of despair.
As the murals in the underground ruins of the Fairy Kingdom tell, humans evolved from ancient apes. They learned to make stone tools, gradually distinguishing themselves from other beasts, and eventually ushered in a magnificent history of civilization.
Due to the limited level of early human technology, it was difficult to overcome geographical barriers, and the civilizations that were born in different environments were also very different.
People who live by the sea usually make a living by fishing, and the ocean is their god; people who live in open grasslands make a living by grazing, and the grassland is their god; people who live by rivers make a living by growing crops, and the rivers and the earth that nourish the crops are their gods.
Their awe of nature formed their initial beliefs.
As productivity continues to improve, human population continues to increase, and tribal territory continues to expand, two different civilizations are bound to come into contact with each other.
Different civilizations have different cultures, which will inevitably lead them to disagree on certain issues.
If two different civilizations fail to properly handle these differences, war is bound to occur.
They want to eliminate people with different cultures from theirs, or make them their slaves, so as to win greater benefits and living space for themselves.
In that case, a leader who can lead a successful war will inevitably become the object of everyone's admiration and gradually be deified.
They became the "gods" of their own ethnic group.
Sometimes the reverence for nature and the deified people may be glued together because of certain "connections" in other people's minds.
The gods from nature gradually took on clear images, and the people who were deified were gradually pushed to an unattainable position.
It’s hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Sometimes people living in the same ethnic group will have huge differences, but as long as there is something that connects them together, the differences between them will be reduced a lot and they can work towards a common goal.
"King" can be said to be an inevitable product of the times.
As leaders, they are "closer" to gods than anyone else, and they will naturally become objects of admiration by the world.
Sadly, they are not gods.
Everyone has his or her own lifespan, and it is very important to find a suitable successor when your own time is up.
Logically speaking, only the strongest in the tribe can inherit the title of "king", and among animals, only the strongest can become the leader.
But genes are selfish.
After a while, there will always be mediocre people who can have the title of "king".
If a mediocre person becomes king and the king's "deification" is greatly reduced, those who are dissatisfied with his rule will rise up against him.
For a long time, the history of the world has been constantly repeating the alternation of new kings and old kings.
When a catastrophe occurs that cannot be forgiven even by praying to God, people will gradually question God, rethink the world, and study the world.
When knowledge accumulates to a certain level, they will have the power to move forward.
Things that we didn’t know before are gradually becoming clear to us, and things that we couldn’t do before are now able to be done. Humankind is becoming increasingly powerful over the course of history.
It’s a pity that humans’ characteristics as biological beings have not changed much.
Among the huge number of human beings, some people show greed to the fullest. They want to become the "king" of the new world, enjoy privileges higher than countless people, and demonstrate their superiority.
The world is undoubtedly lucky that someone saw what those people were thinking.
They possess extremely outstanding abilities, but they do not seek supreme power for themselves. Instead, they think about how to allow people who are no different from themselves to obtain more rights of their own.
But this world is extremely cruel.
Whoever possesses greater power will have more say.
The winner takes it all.
History is written by the victors.
No matter how reasonable what you say is, as long as the victor with great power strongly opposes it and there is no way to defeat the victor, there is no way to prove that what you say is right.
Fortunately, the winner with great power does not necessarily always have great power.
They overthrew their rivals and told the world that the "King" was dead.
Even though "kings" in different senses tried to restore the throne again and again, they still guarded the fruits of victory.
It is no longer the leaders of a certain group that stand in history, but the group called humanity.
In order to unite more people and to protect the fruits of their victory, they created a unique "legend" just as humans had done in the past.
However, unlike other legends, this one is real.
Just by outlining the legend of him and his descendants from the beginning, one can feel how small it is in the vast ocean of billions of years, and marvel at the simplicity and complexity of the world.
The name of that legend is "Luka".
The descendants of "Luka" naturally refer to the billions of lives living in this world.
Under the guidance of the "Luka" legend, mankind has come together as never before, and science and technology have achieved unprecedented great development.
Interstellar exploration and interstellar colonization became the hottest topics at that time.
The streets and alleys, regardless of age or occupation, are filled with yearning and expectations for the future.
After interstellar exploration and interstellar colonization become possible, whether there is other life in the vast universe has become a hot topic of discussion on the streets.
"Wundt", who wrote this diary, was born in such an era.
However, a few years before Wundt was born, the world's top scientists came to an extremely cruel conclusion:
"We have explored one-third of the known universe.
Among them, many Earth-like planets were discovered, and probes were sent out to explore them.
But unfortunately, there was no sign of life.
Everyone, you need to be prepared.
Perhaps we are alone in this vast universe."
