Li Zhen and Bai Xiaodang had seen a huge white square in the center of the six towns before. Now they landed in the square and experienced its immensity. The square is surrounded by lush forests with towering trees, at least tens of meters high. There were many trees that Li Zhen had never seen before, but he could still see that they should not be the tree species that were still alive in the current world.

This means that this space was indeed carved out a long, long time ago. Dinosaur civilizations have tried three methods, and at present, they should choose this one the most - open up an independent space. Although he still has to cling to Gaia's body, he can at least temporarily avoid that catastrophe and have a chance to slowly figure it out.

He was also even more glad that he hadn't rashly revealed Gaia's information in the first place—the previous generation of civilization was ironclad proof. One person or a few people may be able to be rational, because everyone has a lot to worry about. Holding a gun to the head of the person he cares about the most, this person is really willing to sacrifice himself for someone else's chance to live. However, a civilization is a collection of all individuals, and even such things as "government" seem insignificant on such a large scale, and it is difficult for them to decide anything.

As a collective of all consciousnesses, a civilization will "return to its roots" – it will behave like a child who has not experienced any human social education.

It is timid, capricious, and absolutely selfish. It is unwilling to make any sacrifices for the sake of other beings, and if something tries to harm it, even if it is only a will, it will be met with a frantic backlash.

It is also extremely sensitive and intolerant of any potential threats that may exist – just like previous civilizations. They'd rather take a gamble. Nor is he willing to continue to endure the threat of an existence that may awaken.

Similarly, as a civilization, if humans had known about Gaia's existence at the beginning, but could not have enough time to buffer like the dinosaur civilization, this "child" would probably fall into a complete collapse - because survival is above all else!

In fact, this has already manifested itself – only a partial "truth" is needed, and many people have begun to criticize Li Zhen – because as a civilization, it feels threatened.

"This used to be a launch site." Zeus said, "Here, a lot of resources are sent to the sky." ”

"Something to do with the left arm of the old gods?" Li Zhen asked.

Zeus walked to the center of the square and clicked on something on the ground as he said, "Yes." Relying only on dinosaurs, this is a difficult thing to do. The power to send them to the skies alone would deplete the resources of an entire civilization, not to mention anything else. ”

"So most of the driving force here comes from the amount of force in that left arm. Its force is derived from an unknown law exchanged by another universe. So we're actually using this law to 'borrow' the amount of force from another universe. ”

Suddenly, the place where they were standing became transparent. It's like the walls of the house before it. Then they began to sink, and the previously solid ground seemed to turn into liquid.

Li Zhen looked down at the bottom - below was a "well" that I don't know how deep. The walls of the well are densely covered with unknown devices, which constantly flicker blue or white. In the center of the giant well there is a pillar of equal enormity. Numerous pipes protruded from the apparatus on the wall of the well, connected to the column. Look down from above. It's like a terrible spider's web.

Li Zhen realized that the left arm of the ancient god was in there.

Earlier, Zeus said that the old gods were not aware of the existence here. He thinks the other person may be overconfident. But see what is happening in front of you. That suspicion vanished. If there was such a group of people in the Dao of Knowing that they were absorbing their own power for hundreds of millions of years, it would have gone away a long time ago.

A circular platform rose to support the three men. The techniques in this look quite sci-fi. can be thought of as the source power that supports this technique, and science fiction has become fantastical again.

The platform descended, and after the last they stopped in the middle of the column. There is a large, transparent "glass window" in which three people are transformed into tiny ants, and the limbs on the opposite side of the window are unrealistically large.

Li Zhen once saw an arm, and that arm was the same size. But that muscle was full and powerful, lifelike, as if it could be swung at any moment. But the one in front of him is like the arm of a corpse that has died of long-term hunger.

The loose skin enveloped the skeleton inside, and the thick blood vessels wriggled slightly like countless dying snakes, protruding from under the skin. The pipes that penetrate through the column wall penetrate deep into the skin, greedily sucking up its force like a leech.

"You have the power, and I have the power." Zeus pointed to his arm and said, "This is where my strength comes from." It's more than just a source of power for us. ”

It's like a cow or a horse. Li Zhen wanted to use cows and horses for life, and then eat them after they died. No...... Here it was "eating" it while it was still alive - like the cup of "tea" that Zeus had served to the two of them. This thought made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he no longer cared how Zeus extracted that amount of force.

He was a little more powerful than he thought.

Zeus told him almost everything, without concealment, but never mentioned what exactly he wanted him to do, as if he were really a hospitable host. He even referred to his "powers". This power was once unique to the Old Gods, surpassing abilities and psionic powers. In the realm of power, both of those powers will be invalid - Li Zhen's infinite proximity to the bloodline of the ancient gods inherited this power, and as he gains more and more new abilities, this power will become even more powerful.

Zeus obtained it in another way, and he also demonstrated this force in that room. To be sure, Li Zhen doesn't think he would do that – it's a good idea to show weakness to his opponent first – if the opponent sees him as an evenly matched opponent.

Li Zhen once thought that Zeus would hide something related to that period of history, but the other party told him. Li Zhen once thought that Zeus would not let him see the left arm of the ancient god easily, but the other party also brought the two of them with him. At this point, he finally couldn't figure out what the original species was going to do.

So he naturally asked the question, "What do you want me to do?" ”

When Bai Xiao asked this question, Zeus did not answer. But when Li Zhen asked this question, Zeus turned around solemnly and said in a deep voice, "I want you to be the first tester. ”

"You mean, Ascension Technique." Li Zhen said, "Have you entered the test stage? ”

"Not yet, but soon." Zeus replied, looking at Li Zhen intently.

Li Zhen pondered for a long time and said, "What am I for you?" ”

"You know what the essence of the Dao Ascension Technique is—living beings detach from the physical body and become pure energy or regular forms. As this Miss Bai said, it is equivalent to a legendary god - we thought so at the beginning. Zeus said in a candid tone that sounded like he had been preparing for a long time, "but now we've studied more and figured out more." In the past, due to the limited objective conditions, we thought that the 'field' state would exist in our current space. However, the theory of the present stage is that this period is also fraught with great risks, which comes to the nature of the various abilities that you, me, and her have. ”

"You humans used to think that the power of the ability came from mutated genes. This is understandable - asking an adult human to lift a car with their bare hands is indeed possible in the form of muscle strengthening. Another example is to discharge electricity from the human body, which can also be done. Because electric eels are experts in this area. ”

"But that's just relative to the 'ability.' Rising to the level of 'psionic energy', how does human technique explain that a person can excite hundreds of thousands of volts of high-voltage current? And how to explain that a person can slow down the flow of time for a short time? And how to explain Miss Bai's ability to manipulate plants? ”

At the mention of himself, Bai Xiaodang couldn't help but interject: "But my ability is still an ability, not a spiritual ability." Plants grow naturally, and even if I speed them up and mutate them, they won't be able to rise to psionic heights, right? ”

Zeus smiled: "It's not that simple. The way you humans categorize abilities is actually wrong and general—you classify abilities related to known creatures as abilities because you can find similar forms of abilities in some other creature. As far as Miss Bai's question is concerned, plants do grow, and you can also catalyze them by manipulating certain chemicals. But the question is, where does the energy come from when you make a tiny vine grow into a behemoth in a very short period of time? ”

Bai Xiaodang thought about it for a moment and was stunned.

"The question of this – where does a psionic person spew fire from the palm of his hand? Have you ever noticed a drop in temperature around him? Did you find any other way for him to replenish his energy? None - that's what the energy needed. ”

"Please continue." Li Zhen said. He felt like he was vaguely grasping something.

"There is a theory called quantum mechanics that I don't know much about. But I'll just give you one example, the concept of virtual particles. The theory that a virtual particle can 'borrow' energy from a vacuum in a very short period of time – in the process, it gains energy, but nothing loses energy – seems to contradict the law of conservation of energy, which holds that what is gained must be lost. ”

"But it is also said that virtual particles disappear very quickly after being 'borrowed' energy, and the energy is repaid in a very short time. From a macro point of view, energy is still conserved. ”
