Zeus paused briefly, as if waiting for Li Zhen to say something. And the latter did not disappoint him, and hesitated to speak: "Shen Mu thinks that our universe is also a very small particle. On a larger level...... It is also equivalent to a tiny particle in a quantum state. ”

"So...... It is also on a more macroscopic level that our universe can also 'borrow' energy in the same way that virtual particles do. So that is...... The energy we use when we use our abilities is borrowed temporarily. ”

"Yes. We borrowed it temporarily. Zeus affirmed his statement, and then slowly spread his hands, "If you borrow, you will pay back." This repayment time may be quite long for us, but on a larger scale, it is also a very short moment – the essence of the energy we use. As an aside, the reason why human quantum mechanics has not been developed, and why it has not been able to establish a perfect and self-consistent system, is actually the same as we were at that time - the lack of necessary objective observation conditions. In an era when there is no microscope, how can we know the internal structure of atoms? ”

"So as the first person to test it, you will be taking a lot of risks. You've borrowed a lot of energy, and you don't know when you'll return it. Once it becomes some kind of 'field', we don't know if the time for this repayment will come earlier due to the change in the rules of space. ”

Li Zhen nodded and asked calmly, "How bad is the result?" ”

"The more pessimistic view is that you could fall into space outside of two universes, or you could fall into another universe. In another universe, it is not clear whether the physical laws that make up this 'field' are still valid. Zeus said.

"This ...... It's suicide! Bai Xiaodang couldn't help but exclaim.

This is a rather pessimistic conclusion. We think the probability of this happening is about three percent. Zeus said.

Three percent of the likelihood. Very small, very small. However, for such a thing as life, this possibility seems a bit bigger.

“…… Can't I use someone else to try it? Bai Xiaodang asked, "Ordinary people who haven't used their abilities?" ”

Zeus shook his head and patiently explained: "We are one whole – our universe. Therefore it is the same for anyone who goes. The reason why we choose those who are capable and choose those who are the most powerful is because it is possible to ...... After becoming a 'field' state, some abilities are still valid, so the chances of self-help are greater. ”

"So you were going to do it yourself?" Li Zhen suddenly asked, "The vampires in history are your descendants, and you have been absorbing more abilities to make yourself stronger. Was this what was originally intended? ”

"Yes." Zeus replied.

"I don't believe it." Li Zhen said dryly. "You have no reason to sacrifice for humanity, that's too high."

Zeus smiled: "It's not a matter of sacrifice. On the one hand, once we become that kind of being, we become incomparably powerful. My civilization is dead. So I'm not doing it for my civilization or for human civilization. It's about doing it for myself. Otherwise time passes. We're going to die—why don't we try? You're welcome...... Let me use an analogy - if one day human civilization perished, would you live happily in a monkey civilization? ”

Li Zhen and Bai Xiaodang frowned at the same time, but they didn't refute. As the first species of the past. He does seem to be qualified to compare the current human being to "monkeys."

"For the same reason, I can't just pick an ordinary person – because that form of existence can be very powerful. When an ordinary person becomes a god, will he want more people to share in this glory? ”

Zeus had a smile on his face: "But according to my observations of you, you can." I think you're the kind of person who makes sacrifices – you even help humans against species, you're powerful, and you have a family. That's the deal between us – you're the first to do the test. If it doesn't work out, you can give us feedback so we can find a solution. And if you succeed, I'm sure you won't do that kind of thing to glory alone. ”

"It is possible for us to open the door to the kingdom of God, and you are the ticket to this gate for human civilization."

Bai Xiaodang didn't know what to say. On the one hand, she didn't want Li Zhen to take such a risk, but on the other hand, she ......

That's the realm of gods.

"Oh, that's right." Li Zhen looked at the ancient god's huge left arm and nodded, then turned to face Zeus, "You trust me, but how can I trust you?" I mean, after my failure. How do I know that you won't have that glory to yourself? ”

"You can't tell. Whether you trust me or not, you have to face the same choice. In fact, this is even your chance, you just replace the old me. The worst outcome is that after you fail, we will not succeed and we will all be destroyed together. Gaia has been asleep for 4.6 billion years, which means it has grown for 4.6 billion years. ”

"The first awakening it only erased some of the flesh and skin of the old gods, and the second awakening it easily destroyed a highly developed civilization. It's getting stronger, and I don't know if Olympus will survive this third time. To be honest, Li Zhen, the worst outcome is only that you die a little earlier than us. ”

Bai Xiaodang wanted to say something, but restrained the impulse. Because she knew that maybe both of them could talk to her on an equal footing, but this involved this kind of issue, and she was not qualified to participate in the discussion. Or maybe only these two people are qualified.

After a long period of silence, Li Zhen finally spoke.

"I agree." He said, "I agreed." But the timing is up to me, only when I'm willing to accept it. I have another condition. ”

Zeus frowned slightly: "You say." ”

"I'm going to see what the dinosaur people used to look like."

Zeus was stunned for a moment, suspecting that Li Zhen was joking. But then I found out that the other party was serious.

So he spread his hands: "They are already extinct." There may be video data, but I can't guarantee that it will be intact - this is a time span in billions of years, and it is impossible for any electronic data to be well preserved. Other than that...... Do you want to satisfy your curiosity at this time? ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Don't we have to eat at this time?" And it's not just out of curiosity. Comrade Zeus. ”

His tone became genuinely pleasant, as it had been a long time ago: "In this small world, you are the only myth of heaven and earth, but outside, I am just a general of a small country. Many people are afraid of me, jealous of me, and flattering me, but they are far from being subservient to me. What we're talking about here — even it sounds like a novel called God-like that I read a long time ago...... Not to mention those people. ”

"You should know what I did a few months ago - I told the leaders that as long as I concentrated on landing on Mars to show me if there were any so-called dinosaur civilization relics, I would give up the method of transforming ordinary people into capable people. Of course I believe that dinosaur civilization exists, but how do you want them to believe that kind of thing - especially those politicians, who have long forgotten how to tell the truth and how to trust a person. ”

"Actually, that's not my ultimate goal. I'm thinking, landing on Mars to do something like that. Once the beginning began, the existence of the ruins was confirmed. Then more people will cling to that possible straw – they will gather to pressure the government to continue to invest more resources and money in this area – and I believe that even those politicians will not be able to turn the tide at that time. ”

"I think about it, people must think it better. So after that, the news came out - "part of the truth", and I was attacked by the crowd. Because those people are still lucky...... Rather than devoting energy and resources to something as almost dreamlike as interstellar migration. It's better to fight the ancient gods on the ground. In their eyes anyway. Mankind has never been afraid of anyone. ”

"As for whether it will fail? They must have thought that once the fight broke out, it would be a very long process -- at least compared to what kind of space science and technology would be long. You must know that the current situation in the outside world can be described as the people's lack of livelihood. At this time, all efforts were made to engage in aerospace, and before it could produce results, the government was overthrown by a mob of starving people who were not willing to start the first thing themselves. ”

"Do you know what my plan was? I want the government to engage in aerospace. Then find the other limbs of the ancient gods scattered all over the world. The old gods said that it could gather information from those who were able, and although it only got vague "impressions" from a specific person, once many, many impressions came together, it could understand something. ”

"And what am I going to do? I'm going to get those limbs out and put some good stuff around them in the name of building various space bases. What kind of high-yield nuclear bomb super-generation weapons -- as long as they can be used as an excuse to develop space science and technology, they will all be piled up there. I want to hide it from the world, and when I am ready, I will give it a fatal blow - if I don't do it, after the seventy years I promised it, I will either fight or die. ”

"But I can't reveal my thoughts to others, because there are more people who know the Dao, and the ancient gods also know the Dao. So I'm going to do it alone – I haven't even figured out how to do it and how I'm going to do it on my own. Doesn't that sound naïve or naïve? However, even if it is such a simple and naïve plan, I can't say whether it can be realized! ”

"So the next day the Emperor of the Empire came to talk to me and hinted at me if I still wanted to do something for humanity - even if I openly declared that I was no longer human. I was scared to death, and I almost broke out in a cold sweat - I was afraid that the guy would know about it. Until today, it has come to you...... I felt that I could finally breathe a sigh of relief and put down my previous bullshit plan. ”

"I finally don't have to go into light sleep even when I'm sleeping—because I'm afraid I'll talk in my sleep."

"So, I still need your help here. Give me information, give me a lot of information. I'm going to have to convince the people out there that what I've revealed to them is true, and I'm going to have to convince them that with the current strength of humanity, there's no other way than to immigrate to Mars to preserve the fire. Let them believe, and let the Old Gods believe - believe that we don't want to resist anymore, we just want to survive. ”

"So we have at least seventy years left with the Old Gods. Aerospace is engaged in outside, and ascension is carried out here. When the day comes...... Li Zhen paused and waved his hand gently, "On that day, we will consider whether to give it a ticket or not." (To be continued......)
