Death is not necessarily a painful thing, and it is even more so for Chu Tianjiang.

It's a long process, and it's only a matter of moments. For Chu Tianjiang, it was like darkness replacing light in an instant after the lights in the room went out. For anyone, death means the end, the end of all activities related to consciousness.

After death, there is clearly no concept of time.

As a result, when the light drove away the darkness and the consciousness was recondensed, for Chu Tianjiang, it was only a matter of a moment.

The thing is, it's definitely not a split-second thing.

The re-condensation and recovery of consciousness was a relatively slow process, and Chu Tianjiang clearly felt that it was not a spontaneous process, that is, there was some external force helping his consciousness to coalesce together. If this external force disappears, Chu Tianjiang will "die" again.

The intelligent individual of the great civilization?

Chu Tianjiang didn't think about it anymore, he also knew that the only people who could bring him back from the dead were the intelligent individuals of the great civilization.

At the beginning, when returning to the Anthropocene realm, the intelligent individuals of the great civilization promised to let Nicol and the others return to Chu Tianjiang after Chu Tianjiang completed their mission, and Chu Tianjiang doubted this, and the intelligent individuals of the great civilization mentioned a key, that is, the information in the micro-universe will not disappear, but will continue to transform from one form to another, so as long as there is enough advanced technology, the information can be restored.

Obviously, the intelligent individuals of the great civilization have mastered this advanced technique.

If the intelligent individuals of the Great Civilization can restore Nicole and their personal information, that is, bring them back to life, then they can use the same method to save Chu Tianjiang. Besides, Chu Tianjiang died in the subspace he created, and this subspace is much smaller than the solar system, and his personal information is all in this subspace, so the intelligent individuals of the great civilization can bring him back from the dead more smoothly.

The most important thing is that apart from the intelligent individuals of the Great Civilization, who else will bring Chu Tianjiang back from the dead?

Thinking about this clearly, Chu Tianjiang decided to wait patiently.

There must be a very important reason why the intelligent individuals of the great civilization brought him back from the dead. Besides, Chu Tianjiang couldn't resist the intelligent individuals of the Great Civilization, so he could only be at his mercy.

Gradually, Chu Tianjiang found that his consciousness became stronger and stronger, and the feeling of a body appeared.

A body did appear, and it was a very special body, completely different from the bodies that Chu Tianjiang had before.

This body seems to be nothing, it doesn't exist at all, but it's so real.

What surprised Chu Tianjiang even more was whether there was infinite energy in this body, which seemed to allow him to do whatever he wanted.

This is an incredibly powerful body!

"I am very happy that you are back, and it also shows that my choice is not wrong, and you have a strong will that far exceeds that of others."

The sentence that suddenly appeared startled Chu Tianjiang.

Sounds seem to be coming from all directions, with no definite source.

"Don't look around, you can't see me now. Your body is not yet complete, so you are now just an individual consciousness pinned on me. ”

"Who are you?" Chu Tianjiang was shocked, could it be that he felt someone else's body?

"We've known each other for a long time, haven't we?"

"You ......"

"I told you my name, but you must have forgotten. It doesn't matter, because I've come to your realm and have a whole new name. ”

Chu Tianjiang was very shocked, because he knew that he was now facing the intelligent individual of the great civilization that created the solar system.

"You can call me 'Ali'."

"Aleigh?"

"Yes. As I understand it, this should be a gender-neutral name that can be used for both men and women, so it is more in line with my current identity. Of course, only intelligent civilizations at a lower stage will strictly distinguish between the sexes of individuals. ”

Chu Tianjiang didn't say much, because this was indeed the case.

After the intelligent civilization entered the advanced stage, the distinction between genders became less obvious, and even reproduction was no longer based on gender. For example, when the entire population has achieved qualitative energy, the reproduction of the population becomes a blend of individual consciousness, rather than the matching of genes. In Chu Tianjiang's understanding, the invaders no longer strictly distinguish between genders, and the human society established by Graham no longer values individual gender.

"What, are you okay?"

"Why did you bring me back to life?"

"You think you should be allowed to die?"

"I'm dead, right?"

Ali hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, you were indeed dead when I arrived, and another sapient individual controlled this subspace. ”

"So, Gram didn't make it out of subspace?"

"His name is Gramm?"

Chu Tianjiang didn't answer this question, because he felt that Ali was asking knowingly.

"He really didn't make it out, and that's the main reason I let you live."

"What do you mean?"

"You've accomplished your mission, but it's not as ideal as I thought it would be."

"This ...... Do you want to deliver on your promises? ”

"As I said, it's not as ideal as I thought it would be, so I can't deliver on my promise right now."

Chu Tianjiang laughed, laughing wildly.

Gramm is not wrong, he is nothing more than a tool to the intelligent individuals of the Great Civilization, and he becomes a worthless tool after completing his mission.

"You think I'll break my word?" Ali seemed to have guessed Chu Tianjiang's thoughts.

"It doesn't matter, does it?" Chu Tianjiang controlled his emotions. He can't resist, and he can't change anything with his own efforts.

"Yes, it really doesn't matter."

"Why did you bring me back to life?"

"Because you're still valuable."

"Really?" Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, I'm not as powerful as you think, otherwise I wouldn't have used such an extreme way to deal with Gramm, let alone end up where I am now." If you don't keep your promise, you might as well let me die. ”

"How do you know that I won't keep my promise?"

Chu Tianjiang was silent, this was indeed a problem, or the only hope.

"You have completed your mission, human civilization has not perished, but it is not as strong as I imagined. What's more, I am the same as you were at the beginning. ”

"What do you mean?"

"There is no other choice."

"This ......"

"I have come to your world."

"Dimensionality reduction completed?" Chu Tianjiang suddenly understood. The dimensionality reduction of the great civilization has been completed, the four-dimensional cosmic space no longer exists, and all the intelligent individuals of the great civilization have entered the three-dimensional micro-universe created by themselves, and they need an intelligent civilization to act as their wisdom carrier.

Instead of answering the question, Ali said, "You and I are closer relatives now than ever, and we have common interests. ”

"So, you brought me back to life and let me continue to work for you?"

"Not for me, but for yourself."

"Do you think I'll still believe you?"

"I know that you have been suspicious of me for a long time, because I have hidden the truth from you and have not told you about other micro-universes. It's just that you have to understand that under the circumstances, I can't tell you more, because it's not good for you to know about other micro-universe things. ”

"I don't think so."

"Trust me, neither you nor I have a choice in this matter."

"Why do you believe you?"

Ali hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Do you still want to meet them, do you still want to save human civilization, and do you still want human civilization to develop and grow?" ”

"Yes, I want to see them, but I know how to give up. If letting human civilization grow and develop is just to provide you with objects to enslave, then I would rather choose to give up. ”

"You ......"

"A real person should have freedom and the right to decide his own life."

Ali was silent, as if considering the meaning of Chu Tianjiang's words.

Chu Tianjiang didn't speak again, because he felt that with the intelligence of a great civilization and wisdom individual, it was impossible not to understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Perhaps, this is the most unique thing about human beings."

"Unique?"

"Or maybe it's the environment." Ali sighed and said, "I don't deny that here, I need enough carriers of wisdom. But it is also undeniable that after forming this relationship, I have been completely bound to the carrier of wisdom. My strength is also the strength of the wisdom carrier, and the strength of the wisdom carrier allows me to strive for more living space. ”

"It's just your realization."

"It is also the understanding of the vast majority of intelligent civilizations that act as carriers of wisdom, at least as far as I know, other selected intelligent civilizations have produced such an awareness."

Chu Tianjiang was a little speechless at Ali's words, but he didn't directly refute it.

"In fact, most of the intelligent civilizations that have naturally evolved to a higher level have already developed a similar consciousness before we arrived."

"Enough, humans are not such a civilization."

"Okay, so why can't we make a deal for it?"

"Deal?" Chu Tianjiang was a little surprised, because before this, the intelligent individuals of the Great Civilization had also done similar things.

"Assist me in the rest of the work, and I will give complete autonomy to some of them, and let you take them to establish the ideal world of human civilization. Of course, I will give you a large enough living space to give human civilization a chance to develop and grow in the great cosmic period. ”

Chu Tianjiang was very surprised, but he knew that this was a condition that could not be refused.

Whether it is for the sake of individuals or the entire human civilization, Chu Tianjiang cannot miss this opportunity.
