"The environment in this giant tower is like this?" Zhuang Bifan had once been greatly shocked by Aurora Island. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut compared to this artificial island of the Kinip people, Aurora Island is like a small sand state that is artificially filled, and this artificial island is a continent.

"This is the top floor of the Central Tower, where the elders of the Presbyterian Church study. The other floors are more living areas, and there are more buildings. They are all floor-to-ceiling buildings. ”

Zhuang Bifan looked at the beautiful landscape below, there are many strange scenery, and there is indeed no building.

Soon, the small flying machine flew to the underside of a six-sided inverted vertebrae. The bottom side should be about a kilometer long. The underside is a lush forest. There is a clearing in the middle, and in the middle of the clearing there is a small white palace.

The aircraft landed in front of the small palace. Zhuang Bifan followed Liroda into the small palace. It is said to be a small palace, but it is definitely not smaller than the main villa of his manor in Tianhai. However, there are almost no furnishings inside, just an empty lobby.

As they entered the lobby, Zhuang Bifan saw a Kinip figure standing in the middle of the lobby facing the doorway.

Liroda made a gesture as if to salute, and the horns on the heads of the two Kinips flashed in unison. Zhuang Bifan guessed what they were communicating.

After a while, Liroda bowed down and took two steps back, turned around and walked out, leaving Zhuang Bifan alone to face the strange Kinip man.

The people of Kinip all looked the same, at least Zhuang Bifan didn't see any obvious difference in appearance between Liroda and the Great Elder, only in their clothing.

When Zhuang Bifan didn't know what to do, he heard the Great Elder say, "Guests from afar, welcome." I am the current Grand Elder of the Kinip civilization, and you can call me Quilocilla. ”

"Hello, Honorable Grand Elder Quarchangela. Zhuang Bifan knew that the other party was a person with a respected status in the Kinip civilization, and he did not dare to make a loss in etiquette, so as not to anger the Kinip people. He touched his right chest and bowed slightly. "It's an honor to have you in charge. ”

"Guests don't have to be informal. Please follow me!" the Great Elder turned around and walked inside.

They went up to the second floor, where there were many floating crystals in the hallway and in the room. Although he was curious, he kept it all in his heart. They eventually entered a large, empty room, with a circular platform in the middle that was a few feet above the ground, and a few smaller and lower circular platforms around it.

The Great Elder walked straight to the platform in the middle and sat down cross-legged directly, and then said to him, "Guests, please feel free to sit." ”

He chose a platform facing the other party and sat down.

When he was seated, the Grand Elder said, "The guest must be curious why I have come to meet you. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Elder. I'm really scared!"

The Great Elder nodded slightly and said, "Guests don't need to be restrained. I invited you to meet me this time, mainly because you aroused my curiosity. ”

"I don't know what makes the Great Elder curious?" Zhuang Bifan was stunned for a moment. Doesn't it mean that in this space, the Kinip man is omniscient and omnipotent? He exists in this space, and what else do they not know?

As if he knew what he was thinking, the Great Elder said, "I noticed that when you first entered our space, you were very weak. And this time, I felt that the guest already had a rare power. And the nature of this power is something I have never seen before. That's why I invited you to come. ”

Zhuang Bifan's heart jumped suddenly. The alienation in his body is because of the appearance of an inexplicable energy in his body that can come to that and Hei Yan can't explain it. Unexpectedly, this Great Elder discovered his abnormality before he saw him.

Since this Great Elder also saw it, he took the opportunity to say, "Don't hide it from the Great Elder, there is indeed an energy in my body. However, this energy is not only not good for me, but it is also constantly harming and destroying my body. What the Great Elder has discovered, please let me know. ”

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "Guest, the energy in your body, I thought it was the power of the stars at first, because it felt like the energy produced by the way the energy was generated by the way the energy was generated by the convergence of the energy inside the stars. But now it doesn't look like it. It was energy that I had never been exposed to before. ”

Zhuang Bifan was a little disappointed, but he heard the Great Elder ask, "Guest, can you describe how you feel about the energy in your body?" ”

A hope rose again in his heart, and he organized his words and said, "Actually, I don't feel anything in myself, but I feel that my body is full of strength. And emotions are prone to fluctuations, and there is always an urge to destroy something. ”

The Grand Elder didn't speak, but looked at him fixedly—he couldn't see the eyes of the Kinip, but he just felt that. He felt as if he had been seen through by the Great Elder.

After a long time, the Great Elder raised his head slightly, making him feel like he was looking into his eyes. I only heard the Great Elder say, "Guest, do you know how many civilizations there are in the universe?"

He shook his head. He is just an earthling, and the only alien civilizations he comes into contact with are the Three-Eyed people represented by Black Flame and their Kinip. Of course, I don't know how many civilizations there are in the universe.

The Great Elder shook his head when he saw him, and said, "Our Kinip civilization has lived in this space for 6.8 billion years, and it has also been cut off from the universe for 6.8 billion years. So we don't know exactly how the universe is changing today. But according to the records of our forefathers. There were five types of civilizations in the universe before we entered this space. ”

It was the first time Zhuang Bifan had heard of this statement, so he quickly woke up and listened carefully.

"No matter what type of civilization it is, the fundamental purpose of development is to survive. If you want to survive, you must keep evolving, otherwise you will be eliminated by the universe. The highest ideal of civilization evolution is to grasp the origin of the universe. Whether for survival or for the origin of the universe, these five types of civilizations have evolved in different ways. ”

"The first is energy-based civilization. They naturally have the ability to use the energy of the universe, in the initial stage, they simply use energy, and when they slowly grasp more laws of cosmic evolution, they slowly evolve their bodies to be able to simulate the evolution and transformation of energy between universes, and improve their ability to use energy. This civilization usually seeks its own strength. ”

It paused for a moment and continued, "But there is a limit to the evolution of living things. Because there is no limit to evolution, and eventually you will become a god. And the universe does not allow God to exist, so the universe has restrictions on all civilizations. When their evolution hits a bottleneck that they can't break through on their own, they think of a way to keep evolving. They know that each carrier of civilization itself has a strange and unique understanding of the nature of life, and that these understandings are not even clear to the carrier itself. They think of killing the carriers of other civilizations, absorbing the information that these carriers will have time to dissipate when they die, obtaining this unique information, and strengthening their understanding of the origin of life. ”

Zhuang Bifan felt like he was listening to a mythical story, but he couldn't help but believe it.

I only heard the Great Elder take a deep look at him and said, "Originally, I thought you were such a civilization. However, your situation is very different from that of an energy-based civilization. Although energy-based civilizations also have extremely powerful physiques, they can also generate energy themselves. But it will not generate passive energy like the guest. ”

He was a little confused when he heard this: "What does the Great Elder mean is that you can't detect the source of energy in my body?" There is no external energy involved, and the body does not consume mass energy.

The Great Elder said, "Yes." Usually, the energy of living beings is converted after ingesting substances through a certain way, and then providing the needs of life activities. And there are two kinds of energy that appear in you, one is the energy that life needs. The other kind of energy is generated, without any consumption of matter and energy. I think it's the energy that is generated by any life reaction that is different from life activity. ”

Zhuang Bifan was stunned for a moment, this means that the alienated energy in his body actually came out of nothing? Could it be that he has already become a god? He couldn't help but interject and said, "Your Excellency, the universe does not allow the existence of gods, so no one can create something out of nothing. The energy in my body, as you say, is out of nothing. Isn't that a bit of a contradiction. ”

The Great Elder nodded and said, "You're not right. The universe allows God to exist, but it does not allow God to appear. Of course, I'm not saying you're God. ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Bifan smiled. No matter how arrogant he is, he will not dare to claim to be a god. However, he is also a little confused, and it seems paradoxical that he does not allow God to appear, but allows God to exist. However, as the Great Elder said, each civilization has its own understanding of the universe, and he does not need to make up with the other party in this regard. Otherwise, it's like an atheist and a devout saying that there is no need to discuss whether there is a God or not.

The Grand Elder continued, "I'll talk about the second type of civilization. The second is the most numerous intellectual civilization in the universe. The evolutionary limitations of this civilization are very prominent, and even if it evolves to the limit, its lifespan is relatively short. So they embarked on a very different path from the energy-based civilization. They pay more attention to the development of intelligence, and use external resources to improve the strength of the overall civilization in the process of deepening the understanding of the laws of the evolution of matter and energy. This is a social civilization with a very clear division of labor and cooperation. And I initially thought you belonged to this type of civilization. ”

"The third civilization is a spiritual civilization like our Kinip civilization. ”

Without waiting for Zhuang Bifan to answer, it continued: "The fourth type, the comprehensive civilization, they have the advantages and disadvantages of two or three of the first three types of civilization at the same time. ”

It does not talk about the characteristics of spiritual civilizations, but goes on to talk about the fifth type of civilization: "The fifth type is the wandering and predatory civilization. They evolve quickly, and civilizations with a relatively high evolution ceiling. But they have a natural flaw, and that is that the evolution of intelligence is extremely flawed. Because of their intellectual deficiencies, it is difficult for them to develop interstellar civilizations. But they are usually very reproductive, and they have a clear division of labor among biological groups. Once they have evolved the ability to roam the universe on their own, they will plunder all the resources they can in their path. ”
