"I?"
"Yes, it's you. In this universe, every life has the value and purpose of existence, that is, it has the meaning of existence."
Yang Yi looked at Yang Guang dumbfounded, feeling like he had fallen into a huge vortex.
"Although I don’t know in what way the intelligent body in the six-dimensional universe exists, or what it is for, the intelligent body in the three-dimensional universe obviously has a very clear purpose, and this purpose is often directly related to the things around it. Or an indirect relationship. Simply put, the wisdom bodies in the three-dimensional universe are not real individuals, but social bodies, which have social forms, that is, civilization. In this collective, any individual is more or less related to others. Individuals have relationships, and this relationship is the key to the continuation of civilization itself. In a sense, this is also the biggest and most fundamental difference between you and us."
"This is important?"
Yang Guang nodded and said: "This is not only very important, but also extremely critical. You must know that we are separate individuals, even if we have a common ideal, we are willing to cooperate for the common ideal, but fundamentally speaking, we The relationship between the puppets is very loose. That is to say, we are still separate individuals in essence, and will not be seriously affected by the demise of other individuals. In fact, even if only me is left, we can still exist well. It does not mean that we cannot live without other puppets. Although a high degree of independence allows us to easily cope with an almost infinite life span and minimize the impact of time, it also makes us lose continuity, that is, lose the most protection. Precious things, the inner motivation that allows it to continue."
Yang Yi frowned and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Actually, this is not the case only for humans. This is the commonality of all intelligent bodies born in the three-dimensional universe. Because there is no eternal life, both humans and other creatures can only continue their existence through reproduction, and it is a long time. In the process of evolution, only those creatures who know how to protect their offspring and pass on their knowledge to their offspring can evolve true wisdom, and only such creatures can develop and grow. Similarly, in the long evolutionary process, this kind of nature As a result of elimination, those creatures that have evolved wisdom have a high degree of sociality, that is, they have a close inner relationship, and this inner relationship will eventually evolve into civilization."
"This is important?"
"It is absolutely important, because this is the basis for the continuation of wisdom."
"Why?"
Yang Guang smiled faintly and said: "Although we are from the six-dimensional universe, we are not the intelligent body in the six-dimensional universe. At best, we can only be regarded as a natural continuation in the three-dimensional universe, that is, we are just the intelligent body in the six-dimensional universe. A carrier created to continue wisdom. If this process is to continue, then we are definitely not the right person, but you are, because you are born with the inherent motivation to pass on wisdom, and we don’t. If you say, it needs to be passed. The way of self-sacrifice to achieve the purpose of inheriting wisdom, then only you can do it, and we obviously cannot do it. Obviously, having eternal life makes us the gods in the three-dimensional universe, but it also makes us lose the most Fundamentally, it is also the most important feature."
"Because you don't care about anything, it is impossible for you to sacrifice yourself for other existence."
"Yes, that's what it means."
Yang Yi sighed, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Of course, for intelligent life in the three-dimensional universe, getting to this point is an extremely long process and requires a lot of time."
"What's the meaning?"
"Without my appearance, or without my guidance, mankind would not be able to evolve true wisdom in just a few hundred thousand years, nor would it be possible to conquer the entire galaxy in just a few hundred years, let alone The galaxy may be destroyed in just a few thousand years. According to the intelligent life we created in the Alpha galaxy, it is only the first step, that is, it will take tens of millions of years to evolve true wisdom, and the second step is It takes almost a million years to obtain the ability to navigate across the star system by mastering the original energy, and then it takes tens of millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years, to master the technology that can lead to the destruction of the star system, and obtain the opportunity to make a leap, that is, through destruction. The black hole in the center of the star system found the energy module hidden inside. Of course, such a thing has never happened in the Alpha galaxy. However, it is certain that without my appearance, human beings are still apes living in the jungle."
"you… "
"Of course, my appearance shortened the time for human evolution. More importantly, after I left, human beings developed rapidly without restraint, allowing us to see the amazing results of the natural evolution of intelligent creatures. In this way, I have reason to believe that the value of our existence is actually to create you. This universe belongs to you, and no matter what the future looks like, it also belongs to you."
Yang Yi fell silent. Although he didn't like Yang Guang, he did not deny this view.
"In fact, the key lies in you, and your performance completely exceeded my expectations, even better than I expected the most ideal."
"what?"
"Do you think that you can come to the Southern Alpha Galaxy and accept the transformation only because of luck?"
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Guang without understanding.
"It is undeniable that after I have learned more about humans, especially after being integrated into human society, I have feelings for humans, and I even regarded myself as a human for a while. In other words, before leaving, I always regarded you As the result of my natural continuity, that is, to treat you as my offspring. Although I still chose to leave in the end, before leaving, I left a lot of things, some of which were specifically reserved for you." Yang Guang slightly After a pause, he said, "Your ability to come to the Southern Alpha Galaxy is directly related to the technology that I left behind to build a light-speed spacecraft. Otherwise, it would be impossible to build that spacecraft in your lifetime with human technology."
"So, should I thank you?"
"No need, after all, we are father and son, at least once." Yang Guang smiled faintly, and said, "Of course, the spacecraft that sent you to the Southern Alpha Galaxy is nothing, after all, using the technology I left behind, especially Those technologies related to energy modules will soon be able to make breakthroughs. The real key is actually another spacecraft, the "Hope" you encounter on the Lava Star."
"You mean..."
"This spaceship was built by myself, and the modification equipment on it was also my own hand. More importantly, only you can enter this spacecraft and accept the modification, because only your genes can activate the modification equipment on this spacecraft. , And then become what I expected."
Yang Yimeng was taken aback for a moment and looked at Yang Guang in disbelief.
"Of course, I could have waited until you grew up and reformed you with my own hands, but I didn't do this, not for anything else, just because I was scared."
"Fear?"
Yang Guang nodded and said, "It's very simple. I don't know what kind of existence you will be after completing the transformation."
"you… "
"In other words, I am not sure to control you after the transformation." Yang Guang sighed before saying, "Compared with us puppets, what you humans lack the most is not wisdom, but strength. Of course, it's not just you humans. It is all intelligent creatures. Of course, this is not an irreparable gap. The point is that the root cause of this problem is actually that your lifespan is extremely short, so no individual can become strong enough in a limited life. The solution is actually It is also very simple. It is to let you get the same life span as us, at least a considerable life span, so that you can become stronger and even comparable to us."
"You mean, for my transformation..."
"Yes, for your transformation, the biggest effect is to give you an almost unlimited life span, allowing you to use time to make up for the gap with us. Maybe at the beginning, your strength is far inferior to ours, but as long as you have Time, you will inevitably surpass us." Yang Guang paused for a while before saying, "It's just that this is just my assumption when designing this transformation plan, and I have overlooked a very critical issue."
"what?"
"This is that you humans have too strong learning ability and adaptability, and can always do things that I can't predict. Although this is also the inevitable result of evolution, after all, only the strongest vitality can be eliminated naturally. Time survived, so it must be the most powerful individual that survived, but this ability has given you an extremely powerful ability that we do not have."
"What ability?"
"Explosive growth and progress."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Guang without understanding.
"Of course, this phenomenon is more manifested in groups, that is, the development of human civilization. Simply put, before you mastered science and technology, you spent thousands of years to accumulate the necessary knowledge, and after that, It took only a few hundred years to achieve a leap from industrial civilization to aerospace civilization. Simply put, your development speed is not linear, but explosive, and the speed of progress is getting faster and faster. What I didn’t expect is this This phenomenon also exists in the individual, and it is most obvious in you." Yang Guang paused for a while before saying, "It took you only a few years to fully adapt to the result of the transformation, that is, this new body. , And maximize its value. In fact, I chose to leave at the beginning because I was worried about this result. Simply put, as long as you are given the right conditions, it will not take long, maybe decades, at most hundreds of years, you will Can surpass me and become a stronger existence than me. At this time, will you still treat me as a father, or can you tolerate my existence?"
Yang Yi was silent because he could not answer this question.
