In fact, I am a little worried about whether Anulili can accept that her compatriots have become a pile of luminous mosaics—or can she accept that a pile of luminous mosaics is her compatriots. Of course, in my personal opinion, this is nothing. It may be that I have been with the Apostles of Xiling for a long time, or it may be that I deal with the strange and intelligent races in Shadow City all day long. My ability to accept racial forms is not so high now. , I can basically regard things that can think as intelligent species: if you don't have this ability to accept, then you can't get along in Shadow City, where you can even meet an iron ball or even a puddle of jelly on the side of the road Might be smarter than you... But Anulili might not think so. In any case, this girl has little experience in the world. She may be able to accept other races looking weird, but she may not be used to her ancestors changing their heads to colorful ones.
And I also worry about whether those spiritual creatures can integrate into the local life after returning home: it can be said that, except for the soul, they have now completely become a brand new species, no longer eat, no longer drink water, the human population They no longer possess some of the emotions that are limited by sex, they only need to go to the ionosphere every month to blow some air to survive, and all of their minds are full of knowledge that was at least seven hundred years ago—say every three years. Generation gap, guess how deep is the gap between these ancestors and Anulili's generation
Such a group of ancestors who have left the human form suddenly returned to their side. Can Anulili and her compatriots accept it? Can these ancestor spirits get used to it? Can they still recognize each other as compatriots? Gao( Beep) Dali, the old humans had a fight with the new humans because of a few dna issues, and now these ancestor spirits have lost their cell nuclei...
sometimes. The gap caused by life forms and worldviews is a headache.
We can imagine a situation that is most likely to occur: those revived ancestor spirits are first of all stronger than ordinary species, then after they return to their own race, they will have authority and knowledge (of course, power) like gods, and Ordinary people may have to unconditionally believe in these ancestor spirits. This situation may be fine at first, but after a long time... Some people may start to challenge authority, and some people may question that these ancestor spirits are no longer their own compatriots, but become A new high-ranking "god" was established. Even the spirits of the ancestors themselves may have problems: can they tolerate their slow, ignorant and backward compatriots, and spend hundreds of years of patience to wait for these "primitives" to catch up with them? We cannot easily underestimate others, but Nor can everyone be regarded as a saint. Species such as the Protoss and the Apostle of the Spirit are not everywhere. If you don't think about these things, once you start thinking about them, you will find that reality is full of fucking places.
While Anulili was communicating with her ancestors, Gaia and I were waiting outside bored. Gaia was holding a chubby self-discipline machine in a daze with a smile on her face, and a large group of at least dozens of self-discipline machines gathered around her, which made Gaia feel like she had a group of pet dogs. It is estimated that she is basically in this state when she is alone, and I am thinking about the above-mentioned inconspicuous things in my mind. After a while. When Gaia had already started to name the self-discipline machine, I finally couldn't help it, and poured out my messy thoughts with Gaia.
With a faint smile on her face, the blue phantom woman gently stroked the round body of the autonomous machine in her arms. After thinking for a while, she smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, do you think it will be very pleasant to be with me?" Is it strange? Do you feel that when you communicate with me, there will be a sense of alienation that is not my race, or a sense of distance that cannot be understood in words?"
"Of course not," I saw Gaia playing happily. So he also bent down curiously and picked up a ball-like noise maker, which made a series of gurgling sounds: What's so funny about this? "But this situation is different. I know you very well, and I personally The ability to accept is quite strong, and no matter how strange the creature is, it can be regarded as one of its own. Otherwise, life will not be possible, and there are all kinds of birds and beasts in the house. Counting foxes and crows, I can dominate the animal world... Well, counting Lilina. I guess The vegetable kingdom must also be included..."
"In fact, there is no difference. If it is for one goal and focused around one idea, anyone can unite. Differences in life forms, worldviews, and even perception methods will not destroy this unity," Gaia volleyed and sat on the air , seems to be in a very good mood, probably every time I come to accompany her on the home planet, she will be in a very good mood, "Your Majesty, you used to live as a human being, and you also have a human worldview. When you first met us, and when you saw us When you came to the intelligent race in another world, you also showed great surprise and alertness, but now it has only been less than five years, and you have accepted everything calmly. As long as it is a species under the rule of the empire, you can do it Treat them equally: even if their appearance is incompatible with your original human worldview. You should also trust that girl and her compatriots. At this critical moment of the re-emergence of the race, no one will stop because of this gap, at least in the No one in the general direction of the whole family will have this kind of problem: because it is simply too stupid. As for the contradictions that can occur in the apes you mentioned... Indeed, they may appear in a small area, and friction and sacrifice are impossible. It can be avoided, but it will never affect the overall situation. Besides, there are so many races in the macro world, and they can all live in harmony, so why must there be divisions among people who should be compatriots?"
In fact, I would like to remind Gaia that sometimes the races other than the Xiling Apostles have such a painful situation: they can often communicate friendly with other races, but once there is a top-notch among them, there will be a small wave Humans are capable of producing brains. But after thinking about it, what Gaia said is also reasonable. I was such an ignorant person back then, and now I can accept that my family is like the animal world, so what kind of mind am I going to do...
We waited outside for quite a long time, and there was indeed a lot to say between Anulili and her ancestor spirit. Gaia had already told those ancestral spirits about the entire cause and effect of the empire’s expedition to the Melova people and what happened in between, but of course Anulili knew more from her perspective. same. Ancestral spirits who have undergone the most incredible reincarnation journey an intelligent being can undergo also have a lot to tell their descendants. During the waiting period, Gaia and I chatted one after another, enjoying a little bit of the lonely tranquility on the home planet. Our topic started from the unforgettable first encounter a few years ago, and has been extended to thinking about In Pandora's expedition plan back then, Gaia also mentioned the events of her elder sister's previous life: after the separation of concepts was lifted, she had recovered all the memories of her previous emperor. From Gaia's mouth, I finally knew what kind of person my sister was tens of thousands of years ago:
A ruler who is not interested in opening up borders, but is very keen on developing various new technologies. Has the same indestructible will and execution power as all Xiling apostles. It also has a human side. Occasionally, Pandora is planning a lot of conquest plans with great interest, but the focus of work in the sky zone happens to be a certain scientific research project. She used to have a very close relationship with Alaya, because she likes the soft and warm feeling of angel wings. Gaia mentioned the past life of her elder sister, and she couldn't help showing nostalgia on her face. She expressed her opinion: "At that time, His Majesty was a serious person, focusing on breaking new ground in the research and development field, rather than going to Expedition to a barbaric world with low value. She pays attention to efficiency and doesn't like to repeat an order twice. Occasionally, she will argue with Pandora about armaments: Pandora always suggests making more and stronger super artillery, and the child thinks that as long as Cover it completely with artillery fire. The will of the empire will naturally be carried out, and His Majesty always likes to use surprise soldiers and various new technologies with unexpected effects to achieve his goals. But anyway, His Majesty and Pandora had a very good relationship back then—except for the occasional When you pat the latter on the head and say to yourself, 'When will this kid not care about his size', it will make Pandora lose his temper... "
"You miss her very much?" Seeing Gaia's lonely expression, I finally couldn't help but say. The Apostles of Xiling are also sentient beings.
"For more than four years, I never thought that His Majesty was always by my side," Gaia smiled and shook her head, "Now that I see her, I can feel the familiarity in my soul, but things have changed. She is no longer the emperor of the past, and she doesn't remember many things, so we old subordinates feel somewhat disappointed, but I think... maybe this is a good thing."
I looked at Gaia with some surprise.
"It's time for her to rest. Her rule has lasted for hundreds of millions of years and she has never rested. It is true that the Apostle of Xiling will not be trapped by fatigue, but if she can put down the burden like now, I think it is a good thing," Gaia said. Look over with a smile. "And more importantly - you have taken over this burden. The empire will continue to move forward, everyone will have their own place, and we old subordinates don't have to worry about the future. Nostalgia for the past is not what the apostles of Xiling should do. We only need to look forward gone."
I can feel a kind of heavy trust from Gaia's words. If it was me many years ago, I probably didn't even have the courage to bear this trust at this time, but now, I just nodded confidently: "Don't worry, You will not be disappointed."
"Then we will continue to follow behind you," Gaia suddenly pressed his hand on the back of my hand, and I felt a 72 hertz and numb warm touch, "I will also trust you, unconditionally. "
At this moment, Anulili finally knew everything from the mouths of the three ancestor spirits, and the triangular pyramid-shaped building opened. I saw a thin girl walking in the front, and behind her were three spirit creatures floating in the air, like some kind of guardian spirits. Anulili had an irresistible smile on her face and a look of surprise that had not completely faded away. Judging by the atmosphere, their communication seemed to be going smoothly. I greeted them from a distance: "Hey! Are you done talking?"
"Thank you, really, thank you," Anulili came to me, her expression excited, even a little incoherent, "... I don't know how to express my current mood, I really didn't expect the surprise you mentioned It turned out to be... Our people will be ecstatic, this surprise has completely exceeded expectations."
"I hope you can adapt to the vastly different life forms on both sides as soon as possible," I laughed. It might be easy for two species with completely different life forms to get along, but if the life forms are completely different. They are compatriots in essence, and they have to deal with problems completely in the same way as the same clan. This is a relatively high-end social and humanities subject, "I have already prepared a transport ship, and the ancestor spirits you want to take away are not limited to these three , and there are thousands more."
"Yes, I can't wait to take them back!" Anulili happily grabbed my hand and shook it back and forth, only to realize that this subconscious action was a bit reckless, revealing a simple and silly expression. Smiling, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... that... can I go as soon as possible?"
Of course I nod. Although I really want her to spend a few more days in Shadow City, it is clear that this is not the time for the other party to hang out. She still has a devastated world waiting to be rebuilt: this girl has a long way to go, and those who save the world at the age of fourteen, and She probably wouldn't be able to lift her head up even if she stood alone.
The significance of these ancestor spirits to Anulili's race is very obvious.
What does it take for a race to rebuild
A cultural system of knowledge, inheritance, and dating. Lost technology... These things can all be gathered into one word: history.
What Anulili and the others lack most now is history. They are the one with the most serious historical dating among all slave races. The Melova people have almost wiped out all their knowledge except for eating, sleeping and working. Now only the resistance organization still holds a few scattered materials from that year. For the overall reconstruction goal, that data is not a drop in the bucket, but it is almost the same. For thousands of years, they even forgot the original name of their race.
And these ancestor spirits carry the "history" they most urgently need.
The main will of the spirits of the ancestors almost all came from the first generation of humans who fought against the Melovas (the humans here refer to the race of Anulili, of course), and these people have persisted until today because of their strong resistance. They covered members of all fields of human beings at that time, except soldiers. It also includes scientists from all walks of life. Even the latter is more than the number of soldiers. After all, most of the soldiers had died on the battlefield, and only scientists were captured by the Melovas after the war. They have a large number of technical materials of human beings back then, and they also have a glorious picture of the entire civilization in their memories.
Culture, belief, technology, tradition. They have everything from customs all the way to past history.
Although due to limited quantity, these materials will not be very complete, but for a wasteland civilization that urgently needs to be rebuilt. This is already an incredibly generous gift.
With excitement, Anulili took away 6,700 ancestor spirits from us—this number is more than the large royal starship we faced at the beginning, because many human brain array hosts did not have Instead, it is stored in the underground warehouse of the kingdom of gods as a spare. She left the imperial capital that afternoon and embarked on the journey home with honor.
Perhaps this girl has not realized how much she will leave in the history of her own race.
The young cadre of the rebel army who rose up in the slave war, the legendary girl who brought the spirit of the ancestors back to her homeland, and the hero who rebuilt civilization—she is not yet the leader of her own race, but I suddenly feel that she may really leave in the future For this position, as long as she accumulates enough qualifications, Anulili has the capital. I can almost imagine that many, many years later, Anulili's name will appear in the history textbooks of junior and senior high schools of their race. The following topics are listed below:
May I ask that the great heroine of our family, Anulili, brought back the spirit of the ancestors in xx? (5 points for this space)
May I ask how many ancestor spirits returned home at that time? (3 points for Ben Kong)
What kind of far-reaching impact did the actions of the heroine Anulili have on our family? Please give a brief description based on your own understanding. (Essay questions, full marks 12 points)
Then Anu Lili will definitely be rated as the most feared historical figure by middle school and high school students, just like those white-bearded old men who hung on the wall of my high school teaching building back then, they will be rated as the nightmare of middle school students... You say me Is there any remedy for this tangent that gets off topic when you are free
Because Gaia is still busy studying the grand plan of storing her own cloud in the entire shadow space, I didn't continue to disturb her. The headquarters still has some things to confirm, so I didn't go home, but went directly to Shadow City.
The assembly square in Shadowkeep was still as orderly as ever—I mean there weren't many people there at all, so it was orderly. Now that there is no war in the empire, the assembly square is naturally empty. A few scorpion soldiers were on duty at their posts, like steel sculptures when they were motionless. Seeing me appear, the nearest scorpion soldier immediately saluted: "Your Majesty!"
I nodded, and finally couldn't help pointing at the only guy in the assembly square who looked out of tune with the surrounding environment: "Who is that?"
In the assembly square, which should be absolutely free for idlers, there is a girl wandering around. I have seen her since just now: she is a tall and slender woman with a side profile that looks about twenty years old, wearing a shawl Flaxen-colored long hair, although the other party is wearing an imperial uniform, but the behavior of wandering around the military stronghold as if lost is really not like that of the imperial army: even the most mischievous Raven 001 will not be idle in this place wandering.
What I didn't expect at all was that the scorpion soldiers standing guard here showed a look of shock: "Your Majesty! Your subordinates didn't see what happened to her at all... Please wait a moment!"
Then the scorpion soldier, who thought he had seriously neglected his duties, rushed up, but I saw that she had just met the strange woman before turning back in embarrassment, and the flaxen-haired girl followed behind her.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Emperor—well, Your Majesty the Emperor, that's the right name." A flaxen-colored long-haired strange girl stood in front of me pretty, and greeted me very acquainted and warmly. She was taken aback for a moment, and then noticed a small sign hanging on her chest, with a line of words like a dog crawling on it:
"Xiling, if you find it, please contact the military department, thank you."
