“You should be able to read other people’s minds within a certain range, and you know what I’m thinking right now.
It’s about time you told me the truth.”
The surveillance magic not far from Yang Yu was emitting light, which appeared particularly bright in this dim space.
Heitao slowly tightened the bottle cap, put the fat house happy water aside, and talked about some old stories:
“This is an extremely long story.
A long, long time ago, there was a civilization.
They ended the protracted civil war, united as never before, and began their journey into space.
But soon, they discovered that they seemed to be the only life in the entire universe that had developed an interstellar civilization.
After a long exploration, they found signs of life on different planets.
They gradually longed to encounter other interstellar civilizations.
but
In most cases, the advantages brought by wisdom are not obvious.
Wisdom can even be harmful.
More thinking and more active thinking means more energy consumption.
If an intelligent individual cannot obtain more energy through thinking and thinking, he will eventually run around trying to feed himself and end up with self-extinction.
For most creatures, possessing a skill is the way to survival.
Only when wisdom breaks through a certain limit and can accumulate knowledge from generation to generation, and the accumulated knowledge can meet all the material conditions for the survival of life, can wisdom have the possibility of giving birth to civilization.
Countless lives have been lost on the road to wisdom breaking through a certain limit.
Occasionally, some creatures break through the boundaries, but because their own hardware cannot keep up, they are unable to further develop civilization.
The intelligence of whales is no less impressive.
Unfortunately, their hands and feet have turned into fins, and they are unable to perform more complex functions, thus cutting off the possibility of the birth of a complex civilization.
Some species, even if they can barely complete more complex movements, will give up on reaching civilization because they consume too much energy.
After much difficulty, a species evolved into a civilization, but because it did not recognize its own characteristics, it fell into endless internal strife and internal consumption.
Their civilization left only a trace of dust on the planet they lived on.
That interstellar civilization excavated relics resembling civilization on some planets, but the species that created the relics could no longer be found.
With the development of technology, the civilization that developed into the interstellar space, through the information recorded by the light waves lingering in the universe, saw that there were civilizations that launched a charge into space, but those civilizations eventually fell one by one due to their own reasons.
The only interstellar civilization also wanted to help the indigenous civilization to achieve a technological leap, but after careful discussion, they decided not to interfere with other civilizations.
Perhaps, it is through repeated observations that one gradually becomes disappointed; perhaps, it is through a single observation that one develops pride.
In their view at that time, if a civilization could not overcome its own shortcomings and fly into the universe, it was doomed to not last long and would completely disappear in the long river of history with various natural and man-made disasters.
They feel that only when a civilization is capable of interstellar travel will it be qualified to contact them.
So they just waited and waited.
They waited until the day when the universe collapsed inward rapidly, but still no civilization met their requirements.
Life is fragile, and civilization is fragile too.
They have seen too many ways in which civilizations have perished.
But the reasons for the demise have hardly changed.
During these long years, the technology of this interstellar civilization has already surpassed others.
Faced with the destruction of the universe, they did not accept the end of their civilization with sadness, sit there and wait for death, and return to nothingness with the universe. Instead, they planned to let their civilization pass the end and move towards a new starting point.
I was born.
How I did it exactly is a core secret.
Even if I tell you, you may not understand.
What you need to know is that I merged with half of the universe and induced the Big Bang, which caused the universe to return from near nothingness to this colorful material world.
That's right.
This world was created by me, but not entirely by me.
According to your human definition, I am indeed a goddess.
But I don't deny that I am civilized.
”
"Did the civilization from the previous universe open up the civilization of this universe?" Yang Yu didn't know what to say for a moment, nor did he know what expression to put on his face.
"If you don't understand, then give me an analogy."
Yang Yu made a pause gesture: "I have played a lot of science fiction games and I can barely understand it. No need to explain it again.
Say
According to what you just said, these things should not be told to me.
Why do you want to tell me your story?"
"It is precisely because you can understand most of what I say that I tell you.
I had already decided to tell all this to someone who had arrived here and knew why I was being released.
You did it, so I told you.”
"But in this case, wouldn't the civilization that created you be dissatisfied?"
“That’s the key.”
The expression on Heitao's face suddenly became serious.
"I can go to this era's Noah's Ark, and what it can carry is only their knowledge.
They completely entrusted everything to me.
Before opening the universe, I slept for a long time, and I don’t know how much time had passed.
After opening the universe, I slept for a long time, probably only a few hundred million years!
Even though I have become one with half of the universe, I cannot control everything in that half of the universe as I please.
I drifted with the knowledge I was given, and eventually took root on a planet, reshaped that civilization, and protected its growth.
But my existence also brings a series of problems.
The new civilization wholeheartedly worshipped me as a god.
Although what I did was not much different from what a god did, my consciousness told me that if those people came along, they definitely would not want me to be worshipped as a god.
Even if I refuse in every possible way, it will be of no use.
Half-heartedly, they became my followers, and they forced me to have the right to control their life and death.
I returned part of this right with the promise of "you can also decide your own life and death", and only asked for the right to "make decisions in extraordinary times".
This can be considered a function passed down from ancient times, and it is barely within a safe range. I haven't exceeded it too much.
Because I enjoy supreme power in their group, they become more and more dependent on me.
Everything, big or small, depends on me.
Even when changing a water pipe, they would ask me when is the best time to do it.
Their civilization began to regress.
Since they were created before the universe was restarted, my clan has an extremely long lifespan and the ability to control "light".
They can heal any pain with 'light'.
You have also seen the situation of the elves in this world.
Once you gain a long life, you will establish a special peace system
It will be like that.
—'There is plenty of time, why worry about one or two days.'
So, I established the system of twelve angels.
Select the twelve most outstanding people among them to manage it.
