Hao Ren and the others waited outside for a long time, until an amorphous ball of arcane energy floated out from the hall and told them to go in.
In the hall, the giant was sitting cross-legged next to the crystal peak, still maintaining the posture of having a long conversation with the eldest son, while all the holographic projections on the crystal peak were still, and there was an atmosphere of silence in the air. Hao Ren came to the giant and smiled as reliably as possible: "Is it all over?"
The giant nodded silently, and the eldest son's voice sounded in the hall: "Why..."
Nangong Sanba answered casually: "Why?"
"Why are they going to kill mother..." the eldest son's voice was confused, "Mother is very good to everyone, she likes everything in this world... why are they going to kill mother?"
"For some people, it doesn't matter who is nice to them," Y'zaks said in a deep voice, "When you ask for more than what you deserve, the mortal race will do unreasonable things. Stupid It is a felony, and unfortunately there are too many such sinners."
The eldest son fell silent again, and this time the silence lasted longer, making everyone feel awkward. Hao Ren could only take the initiative to break the atmosphere: "Ahem... By the way, do you have any plans for the future?"
"Yes, yes," the eldest son finally said, although his voice still sounded weak, "Mom is actually just asleep, right?"
"According to the information we have, the power of the Goddess of Creation is still operating in the universe, and her mind occasionally responds to the call of believers, so it is very likely that she is asleep," Hao Ren rubbed his chin, "In addition, as far as I know In fact, the direct witnesses of that war didn't actually see the scene of the goddess' fall. What they observed was the explosion of the founding star. After that, the entire battlefield was exiled to a place called the dark field. In other words, there is currently no evidence to prove that the goddess really died in that battle. In summary, there is a high probability that she is still alive."
"Will you help me find my mother?"
Vivienne smiled: "Not only to help you, this is also our own goal."
"Then I'll wait for my mother to come back," replied the eldest son. "Until then, if there's anything I can do. I'll help you."
Lili looked up at the Crystal Peak, and couldn't help but ask after holding back for a long time: "Then what, after you heard what happened back then... are you panicking with hatred in your heart? If you have any unhappiness in your heart, you can say it here. , we all come from another universe, and it has nothing to do with the second son here, if you are unhappy, you can discuss it with us, don't hold it in your heart."
The giant looked down silently. Obviously, he didn't quite agree with Lily's statement that "it doesn't have much to do with the second son" in terms of blood, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The eldest son's voice sounded calm: "Very angry and sad, but my mother said, don't be like other brothers and sisters, I want to listen to her. And Muru also said that all the rebels have died in the punishment of heaven. So it can't be pursued."
"Muru?" Nangong Sanba asked subconsciously.
The giant's rumbling voice came from above the crowd: "My name."
"Oh! When I said it, I always felt like I forgot something—I forgot to ask your name when I talked to you last time," Hao Ren patted his head. While shaking his body in the strong wind, "Excuse me, don't talk to people, the wind is really strong. Besides, since I know the name of the giant, what should I call this one here? I can't just call you 'eldest son' all the time." , which sounds quaint."
The second half of his sentence was directed at Crystal Peak: when the eldest son has only one soul left. This facility is assumed to be its interface by default.
"Me? We don't have a name. We all live alone in the universe. Unlike giants, we don't have a society, so we don't need a name," the eldest son's voice was troubled.
"Uh, didn't the Zhuom people give you a name?"
"They've called me a lot, but it's not a name."
Hao Ren understood after a little thought. A name is of little use to a being who is alone in the whole planet. It is the only one on Zhuomu, and it doesn't matter what humans call it the root of origin, the tree of the world, or the ancient god. It’s not a problem even to just call him “He”. The eldest son usually has no other similar people to compare with, so the concept of the name is very indifferent. As for how the goddesses and guardian giants usually contact these "ecological administrators" scattered throughout the universe, most of them use the method of spiritual connection + code book.
"Then I'll call you Zhuo Mu," Hao Ren thought for a while, "It's a memory to name it after the planet you lived in."
"Okay." The eldest son readily agreed.
After confirming that the matter of the goddess' fall has been handed over smoothly, Hao Ren began to care about the 1.6 billion souls in the space station host and the Zhuom ecological database (that is, the virtual world parameters): "Then let's talk about the database. Alright. The blueprint library of the dream ark has been rescued, what are your plans next? What will happen to the souls in the ark?"
The eldest son thought for a while: "According to my original plan, I was to use the original blood to reshape the ecological circle, but now even my body has been burned, it may be difficult to return to the real world. So in the future, I should only You can continue to create virtual worlds. But the souls of the brothers and sisters... the restriction lock has been broken, and they will wake up after this, and it may be a little difficult for them to accept the current situation."
Hao Ren heard a new word: "Restriction lock?"
Under the explanation of the eldest son, he figured out what the so-called "restriction lock" and "waking up" were all about. What the former refers to is nothing else, but the mechanical parts on the planet Droam before, and they are an important reason to ensure that the Droam people sleep in their dreams!
The soul of a mortal is delicate and fragile, and its longevity is the biggest problem. Races that are born with a short lifespan cannot rashly live forever. They need complex training and soul strengthening to allow their minds to withstand the extreme extension of their lifespan—this is also one of the techniques used by the Xiling Gods to promote and transform their families—however The Zhuom people have no experience in this area, let alone time to study this area of technology. The first problem they have to face after entering Dreamland Ark is not death, but survival: What should we do if human beings with a lifespan of only a hundred years suddenly become immortal
They will get tired, lose themselves, gradually become mad and ignore the whole world, and even more serious: after enjoying a stable life in the virtual paradise for too long, they will completely adapt to this place, and even forget the feeling of the real world. "Sleeping in a sweet dream" is a beautiful temptation, but it is also the real beginning of the extinction of the race. The Drom people foresaw this very early on, so they set up another safety measure on the dream ark. It is the "limiter".
"Their memories are frozen in the tenth year after entering the dream world, which is the best period for all human beings in terms of fighting spirit, mentality, and mobility, and then their souls begin to reincarnate without memory. From a few years to a few decades, to ensure the vitality of the soul," the eldest son explained patiently, "If a dream lasts too long, the history will be distorted, and what happened on the 'planet' will also accumulate Too much data, so you need to reset the stage every once in a while. That's what they designed, they're smart!"
"So this is the truth of reincarnation..." Nangong Sanba stared, and was even more amazed at this grand plan, "So, when the real 'awakening' comes, their memories will go back to ten thousand years ago. The state of the dream not long ago? This is a good mental state... But the things that have happened and the accumulated experience in the past ten thousand years will be gone? It would be a pity to forget them all."
"It will not be forgotten, and it will be stored as a harmless memory, because these accumulated experiences are also useful, and can be used in rebuilding society in the future. Their brains are very large, and they can remember a lot of things. After returning to the real world Things in reincarnation will still be remembered, but after harmless coding, these memories will be like watching photos and movies, although there are many, they will not affect the mind.”
"The feeling of 'personal experience' has been erased, but the knowledge has been retained... In this way, everyone will be a polymath after returning to the real world, but because the knowledge has not been accumulated every time, it should not be comparable to Nolan," Hao Ren said to himself, "But now that the limiter is gone, they will wake up in the virtual world and live endlessly."
"So can you help make another limiter?" The eldest son asked, "You seem to have high technology, and you should be able to make it."
Hao Ren laughed after hearing this: "Compared to this... don't you plan to return to the real world?"
The eldest son didn't react for a while, and the giant Muru also cast a curious look here.
"After the ecological disaster, many planets have been reshaped, and there are fertile wastelands everywhere in this universe." Hao Ren opened another set of holographic projections, which showed the scenery of Tanagus, "How about this planet? Use it to usher in your new era." (To be continued~^~)
