Chapter 156: The Pale Blue Dawn (1) Is Not the Beginning

What is an antimeme?

Literally: an anti-conventional memetic effect.

Memes are the genes of culture, the process and effect of the spread of ideas, information, and concepts.

Antimemes are the external dissemination of all information that erases.

All records and memories of contact with it are to be lost.

"But we remember. Shen Qiao's gaze flashed a few times, and finally fixed on the only other person in this space, "I am sure that my memory is intact. ”

"That's just what you think. Ninety-Nine's tone was not very good, "Amnesia that can be easily detected is not called antimemetic." ”

They stood on the endless wasteland, and the mechanical wreckage that had been scattered around them had become the raw materials of the Heavenly Tower, making the environment even more barren.

And that tower, perhaps the "information backtracking device," as it should be called, is now completely shut down.

The traffic light still shows that it is running, but the backtracking progress is no longer improving.

Under the antimemetic effect of the outside world, information gathering has become the most difficult work.

The involution of memes makes it impossible for countless messages to be delivered at all.

It's not that there isn't, it's that it can't be delivered.

It is not feasible to record, remember, transfer, or even describe in any form.

Seeing that it didn't work to continue to force the operation, Ninety-Nine paused the backtracking function and called up the archived database, "In a better direction, at least we have got some information, and we haven't forgotten how it came to be." ”

"But we forget why we can't forget. Shen Qiao added.

This is not difficult to deduce from logic.

Everything is vivid about Xing Li, about the isotope, about the main god, about the purpose of their arrival in this space.

But where does the antimemes come from?

Who told them this?

Who protects them from the antimemetic effect to remember this?

"Secondary humans entered their current social form about 6,000 years ago. Ninety-Nine put the focus out of the massive database, "Earlier backtracking can see two timelines, one is the route of ancient human civilization, which is similar to what modern scholarship believes, and the other is not clear, and can only be roughly determined - from outside this universe." ”

He raised his head and asked the solemn-looking accomplice, "It seems that further exploration can only go to the last overworld, but are we really going out?"

Leave this fault space, protected from antimemetic erosion for unknown reasons, and enter a universe outside whose chaos is no longer known?

Shen Qiao shook his head: "We have no other choice. ”

"That's right. ”

Staying here is only waiting, too passive.

Sure enough, I could only go out, even if the road ahead was extremely dangerous.

……

Bai Xinli is trapped in a never-ending nightmare.

She wasn't sure if she was the only one who had been attacked in this way, or if she was just one of many people who were being attacked at the same time.

No, nothing is certain.

Even the will of the ego.

The girl walks alone in endless illusions, and no matter how good her patience is, she can't support her to go on.

But she could only continue to hold on, alone.

Bai Xinli recalled—I don't know how many times—what she had done this time, oh yes, before time and space crushed her to powder, she unfolded the psionic structure in a completely destructive manner.

So the universe shattered before her, split and intertwined like a fragile mirror, but surprisingly still maintained its basic functions.

The fragments of time and space are stacked without connection, and the torn spiritual cycle tears everything apart as well.

Even so, even if the entire universe is already in danger like a loose pile of sand, it is still restrained by some kind of inertial force to fulfill its duty.

On the verge of collapse, yet so tenaciously existing.

After that, Bai Xinli could only watch the world irreversibly draw into the abyss and accelerate towards the unpredictable "bottom" of the abyss.

- If this continues, she will definitely be the first to collapse before the universe collapses.

Bai Xinli didn't overestimate herself.

Unlike Minahir, who has a wealth of experience in space-time operations, she can only be regarded as a newcomer in the position of "rebel".

Whether it's fighting without a support system or dealing with antimemetic effects......

Wait a minute!

Is it true that she hasn't been trained in antimemetic scenarios?

No, no way!

With the intensity of Alrente's operations in the timeline, it's impossible not to have suffered other antimemetic disasters!

What's more, this time the "space-time melting" itself is one of the objects that Alrente cleaned up......

Bai Xinli stood on the fragmented space, and there was only the reality of the collapse as far as her eyes could see.

The material structure called the "brain" no longer exists, but the mind has long been able to exist independently of the body.

The spiritual circuits of light and extinction are still struggling to revert to the Kassara grid structure.

But the aura attached to it is gradually fading.

This makes the interconnected network structure seem unfamiliar.

When all the light is extinguished, she will lose all knowledge of "spirituality".

- Bai Xinli clearly knows this.

Then the reason for the lack of knowledge of antimemetics is also obvious.

First devoured her memories of antimemes, then Kassara Grid and spiritual knowledge......

Memories of the past are like old photographs, fading little by little in the erosion of time.

She reached out to grab something, only to find that all the information was like water that she couldn't catch.

A slow and destined pass.

Doesn't she have any way to resist?

She didn't find any way to do it in her surviving body of knowledge.

She can only strengthen her memory over and over again, hoping to fight.

Yes, repeat the memory!

This slows down the erosion of the self!

And then you can ......

And then what's going to happen?

The girl's eyes widened slightly in a daze, and she looked around to see the universe collapsing more and more.

Should resist, yes, her mission is to rebel!

But who is it that is resisting?

She...... And who?

There is nothing here.

What should not exist, what will be forgotten, what has been abandoned......

There is nothing here.

[The conditions have been met, and the Second Entente of the Rebels has been activated!]

Due to the fact that it is in an area covered by a non-supported network, the overrun rule will be activated in accordance with the supplementary agreement!]

Altasus, the main city of space-time several eras away, has received a message that transcends thousands of barriers.

Through this momentary connection, the future existence forcibly builds a passage between the two points in time.

The law of transcendence, the law that transcends all rules and limits.

Antimemes' information restraint also does not prevent the delivery of its message.

And a large-scale reversal of time back in time is essentially a violation.

But Alrent won't care so much.

As long as he can reach the battlefield directly, does he care if he violates the rules or not?

If you don't deal with this kind of high-intensity space-time melt quickly, do you still wait for the timeline to shake and the historical line to be confused?!

So before the other factions of the same level could react, the Arrent civilization quickly gathered a group of rebels and sent them to the battlefield.
