Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Nature and Future of Mankind
Li Fengqi did not see the gate of hell under the crater.
I didn't see hell either.
I didn't even see the Taoist source book that was about to close the last page.
He walked into a time tunnel.
Around him are countless twisted Ambilights, bending and flowing from the deep distance where they don't know where they started, and bending and flowing to the distance behind them that they don't know where they are going.
Behind the brilliance, countless famous pictures from the past and present are blurred in a flash.
Li Fengqi was at a loss and didn't know what to say.
Is it a real time tunnel?
"Interstellar" does have similar images.
Is it Hecate's magic?
If she had made a move against her, there should have been a seal thunder punishment, but his divine sense was released, and he didn't find anything unusual under the seal.
Countless images disappeared in a flash.
From ancient times to the present day.
In the end, some familiar images of modern times flashed blurry.
The huge cannon roared, the turbid waves were monstrous, the smoke-filled battleship whimpered and slowly sank into the sea, and countless soldiers scrambled to jump into the sea, struggling to survive in the huge waves......
There are heroes who can live but seek death, and the fearless resolutely hold down the dog beside him.
Hardworking.
People and dogs, all die to serve the country!
Li Fengqi sighed.
reminds me of the elegiac couplet written by Emperor Guangxu at the end of the Qing Dynasty: On this day, the world is full of tears, and there is a strong navy.
Pictures came again.
Spears spew fire, cannons roared, and Western soldiers in various military uniforms were greedy, burning and looting in the imperial capital of the dynasty unscrupulously, and thick smoke was seen billowing into the sky everywhere......
In the rich and luxurious garden, the crowd of ants runs, all holding treasures.
Immediately, the fire was raging, and the smoke covered the sky.
Days without stopping.
Li Fengqi was stunned, this picture was the fire of the Old Summer Palace, which was a century of shame for the Chinese nation.
History has become history.
But as a son and daughter of China, I remember the shame and work hard.
And the pictures came in.
It's all war.
Without exception, all the past images in this time tunnel are full of blood and carnage, which happens to be a history of human evolution: war.
Later pictures are becoming more and more modern.
It is also gradually becoming clear.
One of them was seen by Li Fengqi in film and television dramas: the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
And then there's modern warfare.
There are very few pictures, most of them are the war on the Iraqi side of the imperial graveyard - this thing Li Fengqi can only guess, after all, he knows very little about the Iraq war.
When the modern war passed, Li Fengqi thought that this time tunnel would end, and another picture came in.
The picture is extremely clear, and you almost feel like you're in it.
Be......
Future wars.
Incomparably Hongdae.
Above the blue stars, flames are burning everywhere, and the once prosperous city is in ruins, and among the ruins, there are countless half-human and half-machine soldiers who combine humans and machines, as well as all-mechanical soldiers.
In the end, there were even robots, as well as various high-tech weapons that Li Fengqi couldn't understand at all.
The war is in full swing.
And the people are not living.
That's it, in the final picture, Li Fengqi seemed to look down at the entire azure star, and in his eyes, from the territory of this azure star, a flame rose from the sky, or crossed the sky and fell directly into the territory of another country, or entered the atmosphere to cruise and then fell to the ground.
Mushroom clouds one after another.
In a very short period of time, the stars are no longer blue, and the entire atmosphere is covered with the dust that has not dispersed this year.
Green decays rapidly.
Humanity perished rapidly.
In the end, when the remaining human beings died completely under the nuclear radiation, the blue stars full of desolation were no longer lifeless, only endless death and desolation.
The earth has become a dead ball.
Time passes.
Decade.
Century.
Millennium.
Years.
100,000 years......
The dust that covered the surface of the stars gradually dissipated.
The once modern road, under the corrosion of the years, has returned to the soil, high-rise buildings, but also returned to nature under the erosion of the years, and the dead planet has re-revealed its green vitality.
The sea is surging.
One day, clumps of sponges begin to appear in the ocean.
Countless years later.
In a calm water, the first single-celled paramecium broke the peace, and then the second, the third, and countless ......
Time still passes quietly.
The blue stars once again show vigorous life.
On the continent that has undergone the earth's changes, animals with thinking intelligence have found it easier to walk on two feet and can do more with their forelimbs, so primitive humans have reappeared.
Hominids invented fire.
Primitive humans learned to dry salt and wrought iron......
War began again.
The re-development of civilization has allowed the re-emergence of humans to master archaeology again, and they have found some traces of the previous civilization, but they still have not been able to prevent the emergence of war.
They archaeology to find ancient civilizations, they explore the starry sky, and in their hearts, the journey is the sea of stars.
Extreme prosperity was followed by another war that destroyed the entire civilization.
The Earth is dead again.
With the passage of time, the Earth came alive again......
And so on and so forth.
Endless.
Until one day, the sun suddenly turned pale and slowly shrunk, and the entire solar system was dying and withering......
The blue stars also slowly withered.
Death and darkness.
It has become the main theme of this galaxy.
After watching this scene, Li Fengqi was full of despair in his heart.
"Hopeless?"
The time tunnel disappeared suddenly, and Li Fengqi stood in the empty and empty starry sky, with no edge in sight, and under his feet was the earth that was once blue and full of life, but now it is slowly dying.
The sun in the distance is extremely white and very small.
Now it's no longer a star.
It's a white dwarf.
Not far away, Hekate stood quietly, only one end of a long rope in his hand, and his eyes were pitying: "Despair is right, this is the nature of human beings buried deep in their bones, and it is also the final end of a star civilization." ”
Hecate's voice was soft and unemotional, "Actually, with the starry sky theory that this star can be explained by today's civilization, it is not only this small galaxy that dies after a long and uncounted amount of time. ”
"All the stars in the entire universe will die in the end, this incomparably prosperous universe, its end, is not an eternal immortal immortal, you must know that the aura will also disappear one day, to that day, the billions of stars in the entire universe will die, no one can survive, even the saints of Kyushu, the universe, will only be left with an absolute dead silence. ”
Li Fengqi knew that this time Hekat didn't lie to him.
In the decade when humanity disappeared, he read a lot of books.
Among them are theories about the future of the universe.
When the universe reaches a certain period of time, all stars will age and die, and life that depends on stars will also die with the death of stars.
He just didn't expect that cultivators wouldn't be able to transcend it.
