There was nothing unusual on the other side of the door.
There was nothing spooky or evil enough to terrify the white fog.
When the door was opened, Bai Wu saw what looked like a huge library.
There are tens of thousands of books hidden here. In this spherical building, all the walls are bookshelves, and there is a spiral winding road in the center of the huge sphere.
This road is comparable to an overpass in a certain 8D city, which even experienced drivers in the city may not be fully familiar with.
In the entire huge spherical library, Bai Wu soon saw a small desk hidden at the end of a road.
The tyrant was puzzled:
"It is said that the previous civilization was extinct because of improper use of wells. But why hasn't their civilization gotten rid of paper records?"
Bai Wu shook his head:
"Of course, using computers to record data does not require such a large spherical library, but it is very likely that they have fallen into the same fate as humans, with technological civilization and various physical theories blocked by some force."
"At times like this, the most practical method is to use the most ancient way to leave marks and symbols on things, and to leave text to record everything."
The tyrant nodded and looked at the central road of the sphere which was as tangled as a maze of threads. He didn't even know which road led to which side.
"How are you going to find it in such a huge library?"
This is not a problem for Bai Wu. Such a huge library is actually a record house of civilization.
It is just the last witness of this civilization, existing in the well.
The notes of the Eye of Prell began to avoid the important issues that were too simple.
There is always some irrelevant information.
For example, building materials and so on, each book only tells you the thickness and number of words.
Bai Wu was not bothered by it, as it meant that the contents of these books were not important to him for the time being.
But there is a note on the desk at the end of the road that is crucial.
Because the huge exclamation mark has been marked, and the symbol has even turned dark gold.
It feels like an epic prop.
In the library, there seemed to be some kind of force suppressing the rules. Bai Wu and the Tyrant found that their powers were greatly weakened.
This is not surprising.
There is also one in the high tower, so this place may correspond to the high tower.
The tower suppresses evil, and here perhaps even evil and humans are suppressed.
In a sense, it can also be regarded as a protection for books.
The white mist had cleared the path and began to move towards the marked notebook.
He became more and more confused along the way.
The rulers of the tower fought each other on the fifth floor, but it was obvious that things were different here.
The tower is from bottom to top, here is from top to bottom.
The people of this civilization did have traces of fighting here, but it was definitely not a battle to the death where only one person could survive.
Otherwise it would be impossible for someone to build such a huge library here.
Maybe even... there are books in other buildings too.
To record a civilization that may be older than human history, such a library is... not enough.
arrive.
At the end of a winding path, Bai Wu saw his mission target.
On a rectangular desk made of unknown material, which was quite similar to the style of human home furnishings, he saw some manuscript drawings and some letters that could not be sent.
I also saw the not-very-thick notebook marked with eyes.
But what's interesting is that this time the notes... are written in human language.
The manuscripts around him and all the books in the library were written in sequential text that could only be machine translated, given the tyrant's cultural level.
Yes, judging from the translations such as Depressed Umbrella, Envious Greatsword, and Greedy Shield, Bai Wu feels that it is possible that the creator may not have named it so hastily.
But it’s because the tyrant’s cultural level is limited... The translation is really bad.
Fortunately, this time, Bai Wu saw the "official proofreading version" instead of Baidu Youdao translation.
"Outsider Revelation".
When he saw these words, Bai Wu finally confirmed that this was where the builder of the tower had stayed.
Including the drawings above, the black substances that were excavated were all made by the tower builders.
As Alpha's most powerful opponent, the man who sealed Alpha for thousands of years, it was not surprising that Bai Wu came to the depths of the well.
But he did have a lot of questions, because it was obvious that more than just the creator of the tower had been to this place.
There must have been a large group of people here.
With all kinds of questions in mind, Bai Wu opened the notebook:
"Hello outsider."
"First, to answer one of your questions, I don't know who you are, and I didn't know you were coming."
"Cause and effect is something that higher-dimensional beings have mastered, and they use it to predict the operation of lower-dimensional beings."
"Or rather than predicting, it's giving a diagnosis."
"Decide their fate."
Bai Wu was very surprised. He thought that this notebook would record a lot of irrelevant things, and even start from some very long ago.
But it is obvious that the other party came straight to the point and wrote this document with a targeted purpose.
"During the observation process, I learned a lot of characters. I have to admit that although the sequence characters have additional abilities, this is only due to the peculiarity of our civilization. We are born with a higher dimensional perception."
"And as humans, a civilization weaker than ours, the surprises you gave me have exceeded my expectations."
"I even think that if we take away the uniqueness of our civilization, our race's... things that you call superpowers, maybe we are not as good as humans."
"In short, observing you in the lower latitudes has taught me a lot. I have learned to obey order and to transform order in a positive way. Of course, humans have also taken many detours in this process."
"So what you are seeing now is what I have recorded in your language. In your history, this is called Shengguo Characters."
"Of course, as I said, this is through observing low-dimensional creatures. But I can't predict who you are or where you are from. I can only infer the activities of those high-dimensional creatures based on the activities of most low-dimensional creatures."
This statement is a bit confusing, but Bai Wu understands it very well.
It is like Well Six cannot see the cause and effect between Well One and Well Five, and cannot see its own cause and effect, but can infer through some other observable cause and effect.
In the inference of the creator of the tower, it is obvious that the prosperous country, which has been immersed in distortion for seven hundred years, will suffer a huge blow.
But at the same time, because of the appearance of the tower, the civilization of Shengguo was able to continue, which also made... in the subsequent distortion that swept the world, the people of Shengguo had the highest survival rate.
Therefore, the Lord of the Tower reasonably speculated that the person who was able to finally come here and witness this written record was a person from Sheng.
Bai Wu continued to read:
“I believe that when you step into the well, or when you come into contact with things related to the well, the revelations I left around the world will slowly draw closer to you.”
"After a life-and-death battle with another member of my tribe, I was about to face death. Before the final death came, I went to the place where another member of my tribe had stayed. It was the continuation of his will. There, many children grew up happily, but they would eventually face a tragic fate."
"I left some revelations there. These revelations will slowly appear in the course of your adventure, Outsider. I believe you have already received some of them."
Bai Wu reacted suddenly.
I did receive the message during the magic tower challenge.
It was also there that he learned that he was doomed to fail and that two genuine Seven Sins were hidden in Denglin City.
But he obviously didn't get all the revelations.
It is possible that I have not found it yet, but it is also possible that some revelations are not for myself.
There are other heroes in this world, some who are not as good as himself, but are more like heroes than himself.
If possible, Bai Wu hopes that they can also get enlightenment.
“It was also there that I discovered the powerful plasticity that humans display in the choices of the times.”
"The distortion created a creature that you later called evil. This creature is the counterpart of human negative emotions in the Well World."
"We will talk about the well later, please don't worry. My race and our entire civilization were destroyed by the well. Another member of my tribe has been completely corrupted by the well. I will explain everything to you later."
"The evil body lives in the well world, while humans live in the real world. But if the two overlap in the real world, the evil body will deprive humans of their rationality and give them powers that do not belong to humans."
"Only those with strong will and outstanding talent can keep their sanity when becoming evil. And gain the recognition of the evil itself."
"Only the most powerful and outstanding human beings can gain the respect of the evil ones, or even sympathize with them, and obtain their complete power and even their memories."
Memories of the Evil Fall…
So far, among the evil people Bai Wu has met, whether it is Nie Chongshan, Liu Mu, or Gu Hailin, these people are actually very great, but they have not obtained the evil people's memories.
They know nothing about the world inside the well. Are there really such people
A human being who respects his own evil body
Bai Wu's mind suddenly flashed back to the conversation he had with Omega.
"Is his personality very different from the captain's?"
"No... Gu Qingyu and Shen Hong... have very similar personalities."
He shook his head. For him, this was ultimately a failure and a painful experience.
Bai Wu's attention returned to his notes again.
"In a sense, only those who can maintain human sanity can survive in the subsequent world, but I have discovered a different life."
"Three extremely special people, two with extraordinary abilities, even humans who have no corresponding evil bodies in the evil world, and one who is called a half-evil being in the future."
"I am convinced that they are the people who can complete my commission and make everything right."
"In the territory of another of my people, which you later called the Farm, I can find such humans. I believe I can give them revelations and guide them to eliminate distortions."
"It's just that this process will ultimately fail, and they will be doomed to fail."
"And there is not much world left for me. It is very difficult to find someone who can fulfill the burden in the vast future and huge cause and effect line."
"All I can do is leave clues at some key points. Whether you can gather these clues and find them ultimately depends on you."
In other words, if he had not gone to that magic tower, he would not have been able to get any clues about the Seven Sins weapons.
Even if I had gone to the Demon Tower and not made the corresponding choice, I would not have been able to get any clues about the Seven Sins weapons.
"It is almost impossible to defeat my people."
"My race, our entire civilization, is different from humans because what we pursue is eternity. We want to be able to stay in one place with sufficient resources forever, so that our people can reproduce from generation to generation."
"So we are not like humans, with an overly diverse nation."
"But our race does have two different factions."
"One is to improve ourselves, reduce energy consumption, and even gradually integrate with the world, reduce the impact on the world, follow nature, refine technology, maintain order, and find a way to achieve harmony between man and nature, so that our race can continue for a long time and survive forever in this world."
"The other faction wanted to completely destroy order. Another member of my tribe was quite persistent in this regard, but at that time, he was not yet pathological. There were very few people who supported his view."
"He believes that it is precisely because everything has order that the end can be seen at a glance. If he wants to keep civilization forever, he must construct a distorted world where all rules are unpredictable and the end can never be seen."
This can be said to be a twisted logic. Bai Wu certainly knows who this person is, Alpha.
But from the words of the Lord of the Tower, it seemed that Alpha was just a somewhat crazy person at this time.
He is still far from being called the Lord of Distortion.
"Most of the civilizations we belong to believe in following order. Although we pursue the eternity of civilization and coexistence with the world, we do not agree with some... extreme practices at that time."
"No one supports him. He is just a person who talks nonsense. When all the rules of the world become unstable, when all order is distorted, when the tribesmen cannot seek benefits and avoid harm by finding rules, how can they survive?"
"At least at that time, most of us just thought he was a madman, not a genius."
The line between genius and madness is actually not as thin as many people think.
In Bai Wu's eyes, there is definitely a difference between a genius and a madman.
Many people believe that genius and madness can be achieved in a single thought, but this statement itself is blurring the line between the two. The depth of that single thought may be something that ordinary people cannot achieve in their entire lives.
In Bai Wu's opinion, Alpha is just a madman, far from being a genius.
"His words were so dangerous that he was exiled. He could only return to his homeland after he had been in exile for fifteen years and had erased those thoughts through hardship."
Thoughts, not dangerous thoughts.
Because at that time everyone thought that what Alpha said sounded crazy but was impossible to achieve.
Can you distort the rules? Birth, aging, sickness and death, mountains and rivers, time, space, force fields, these things are the rules of the universe, how can they be changed
But looking back at reality, Bai Wu knew that everything should start to change:
"But as resources continue to be depleted, as we face more and more natural disasters, we have a larger population than humans... but the number of people who die each year has gradually exceeded the number of people who are born each year."
"We follow the rules, but as the environment gets worse... many species in the world are becoming extinct, and we are worried about the future."
"One day, a winter of despair arrived, freezing all life."
"At that time, our people discovered that trying to guess the order of heaven was a foolish thing. The resources of this world were constantly depleting, and our demise was inevitable."
“Maybe not this generation, maybe not the next generation, but they will eventually perish.”
"The harsh winter makes it more difficult to gather resources, and the vitality of our civilization is constantly being eroded by the cold."
"And at this time... a madman appeared as a savior."
