Chapter 74: Somogo, and 'Dimensional Erosion'
In the bar, Bai Lang and Lily found a quiet place to sit opposite each other and communicate in a low voice.
Bai Lang couldn't wait to ask him what he was most concerned about: "You said that you also live in this hotel and accept asylum." Is the world dangerous? ”
The girl didn't expect Bai Lang to ask like this, considering that the other party was an illiterate person from another world, so she thought about it: "Let me think about it...... The danger probably comes from the following aspects. ”
"First of all, since a hundred years ago, this planet has been affected by 'paradise', and the extraordinary power is rapidly recovering, and technology is also improving rapidly, and the general environment is not safe. 50 years ago, a high-intensity nuclear war broke out that threatened the global ecological balance, and 1/3 of the nuclear wasteland is still blocked by the gods and listed as a forbidden land. ”
"Nuclear Continent?" The corners of Brother Lang's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that our earth was super peaceful! Are you really fighting a nuclear war?
"That's right! In the past, it was not called this name, but that group of crazy people played too much, and now the nuclear radiation of the entire continent exceeds the standard, and it is still polluting 'Somogo', so it has been changed to 'nuclear continent' as a warning. The girl responded.
"Secondly, the contractor and Paradise have existed for a long time, and it is a semi-open secret. Since a hundred years ago, there have been high-level contractors who have substituted their own power into the present world, formed forces, and become the masters of this planet...... It is impossible for the contractor to hide, on the contrary, many people are eager to enter Paradise. ”
"There is a rule in the park that when an ordinary person kills a 'contractor' with their own hands, they will be given the number of the other party and enter the park to be subjected to the 'trial test'. Those high-level powerhouses, those who have the protection of a team, come from a big family, or have a big power background, naturally don't have to worry about these. But lucky people like you and us will be targeted by some hunters at the low level and captured and given away. ”
In addition, the hatred and contradictions in the paradise will also extend to reality. Although Paradise is not advocated, it is also forbidden to restrain vendettas...... For all these reasons, do you think that a hotel with a 'good reputation, enough to protect yourself and allow you to develop lewdly' is not worth staying? Although the boss is a defeated dog, his strength is enough to protect us. ”
After listening to the girl's introduction, Bai Lang had to nod and admit. The world is really living in 'dire straits'. Similar to the conflict and battle in the subway station, this world is happening all the time, and even nuclear war is at ease.
…
"How strong is the boss? He's a contractor too, right? Bai Lang asked again.
"He, last time he boasted to me that he was a high-level contractor, after the failure of the attack on the 'lord', he spent a lot of money to complete his retirement, and now he is opening a hotel in this city to train newcomers like you."
"What rank and how many levels is the lord?"
"In terms of rank, it's the fourth order. The third and fourth levels of the paradise are a chasm, and I don't know exactly what the gap is. Do you see the 'protective shield' that envelops the city? ”
Bai Lang nodded.
"That's one of the characteristics of a lord. After entering the fourth order, you will complete some kind of transformation and break into a butterfly, and your status in the paradise will be greatly improved, and you can also dominate the shelter side in the real world. They can even colonize and erode another 'quest world', become gods, open dimensional tunnels, and project their own power into reality. ”
Bai Lang immediately asked: "This is how the gods of this planet came?" ”
"Well, maybe, I don't know, so I can't blow it. This involves 'dimensional erosion', which is something that only the 'lords' have access to. But one day, I can become a god! "Lily has blind faith in herself.
"How strong are you now?" Bai Lang became curious.
"I'm about to go through the test of promotion and become a mid-level contractor. And you're a low-level little dried fish. The boss used to be a defeated dog in the third order, and he boasted that he was the number one brand in the paradise, until he was hit by an arrow in the knee, and he had to redeem himself and retire from old age,...... Now he lives by opening a store. ”
I don't know what hatred she has with her boss? Hurt the other party's poisonous tongue, and the white wave eyelids jumped wildly when he listened. It's so poisonous!
"Can you leave the park? Isn't it tenure. This reminded him of the 'main god space' where life and death are all in reincarnation.
"Please, we are working hard for the 'paradise', if we can't even end up with a good death, wouldn't it chill people's hearts, who still works hard? Spaces are also in competition with each other. The girl said that she couldn't understand Bai Lang's brain circuit, "After mixing to the high level, as long as you pay ten times the 'cultivation fee' to the paradise, you can redeem and retire." But how many of them have enjoyed true power and will give up? ”
In Lily's explanation, Bai Lang, a low-level contractor, can only bring basic attributes back to reality; Starting at the intermediate level, you can unlock some abilities and use them in the real world; And the higher level is further liberalized. Until the impact of the 'Lord' is completed, you will enter another new world and become one of the 'Rulers' of this planet.
……
"What do you mean by 'dimensional erosion'?"
Bai Lang was very interested in the structure of this world, and he had seen the 'Angel Courtyard and the Holy Order' in Camp Rogge, both of which were 'faith sects' in the Overworld, and both had the existence of gods.
Above his city, there is also a god who Lily says has colonized the 'mission world'. Thinking of the meaning behind this, Bai Lang became inexplicably excited. He has a strong interest in this kind of thing.
Just like a girl who is confident that she can become a god, Bai Lang has a strong desire just by hearing about it. Like Orochimaru's desire for science, there is no need for a reason!
Lily pondered and concluded in her own words: "'Dimensional invasion' is a phenomenon, and our planet is a 'paradigm'. If you are from the earth, you don't wonder why two different planets have such similar words? Is the language exactly the same, even the 'idioms' in common? ”
"Why?"
This has always been a problem that has plagued Bailang. He determined that 'Somogo' was definitely not an alternate universe Earth, but a complete alien planet.
"This is 'Dimensional Erosion'!" The girl turned on the popular science mode: "Some scholars divide the history of the home planet into four stages: 'old era, erosion period, distortion period, and new era', and we are in the 'new era'." The dividing line between the old era and the erosion period was about 170 years ago, when 'Paradise' first appeared. ”
"How old is the park?"
The girl nodded: "Paradise did not originally belong to this planet, and for a hundred years, it has merged with the main star, constantly transforming and improving the level of Somogo. The current civilization of the main planet is deformed, chaotic, and promoted. ”
"Scholars have confirmed that before 'dimensional erosion', Somago was a planet with a unique ecosystem, unrelated to Earth, as for whether there were human beings? There are still two hypotheses: one is that humans on the main planet appeared out of thin air, and the other is that there were originally indigenous people who were similar or even identical to 'Earth humans'. ”
"When 'Paradise' first appeared on the home planet, it also brought about 'dimensional erosion'. Paradise injected the 'Alayya Consciousness', which belongs to the Earth's civilization, into the interior of the planet Somogo and reshaped the Star Soul. The Earth's 'Alayah' is like a virus, infecting the 'Gaia consciousness' of Somago, causing the Earth's civilization to flow into the 'human embryo' of this planet. ”
"That is, around 170 years ago, a large number of newborns on this planet, as if they were possessed by extraterritorial heavenly demons, had more vague and incomplete 'earth memories'. The civilization of the earth was reborn in Somogo in a brutal backdoor in a posture of pulling out seedlings and fueling them. The entire 'invasion' lasted for 50-80 years, and civilizations similar to the Earth's 'Celestial Empire' quickly reorganized and matured in the land of 'Kunxuzhou', and other continents also showed plausible 'civilization erosion'. ”
Bai Lang was dumbfounded when he heard this: "So our language is the same, and the words are not very different." ”
"It's only been more than 100 years, and naturally there hasn't been much change. The nearly 80 years of 'dimensional erosion' is not only the rebirth of the 'planetary civilization level', but even the history of the old era 170 years ago is constantly being eroded and changed. Can you imagine? To this day, everything that happened on this planet in the past is still spreading to both ends of the timeline with 'paradise' as the coordinates. What happens now not only determines the future, but also changes the past......"
"I don't understand!" Bai Lang shook his head decisively, indicating that his brain was not enough.
"Well! It doesn't matter, it's just like that, and it doesn't have much impact on our lives now. The erosion of civilization 170 years ago made the history of the old era come out of nothing, staying on the dynasty of 'Later Ming'. Lily said.
"Hou Ming? I only know Da Ming! Bai Lang replied.
"That's right, it's the 'Hou Ming' after the Ming Dynasty." The girl nodded in affirmation.
"After the Ming Dynasty, there is the Qing Dynasty, and there is no Hou Ming!"
"......" the girl's expression became weird, "Then you know Qin, Western Qin, Han, Shu...... Tang Dynasty...... Is it? ”
"It shouldn't be the Qin, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms...... And then Don? Bai Lang's eyes also became weird.
"I understand, your earth is an 'alternate world' derived from the origin earth, and even history is a pirated copy of confusion and fiction." The girl waved her hand and said disdainfully, looking down on Brother Lang's 'history of the earth'.
"I ......" Brother Lang is stunned, where do you, a native of the wild planet who has been eroded by the dimension of 'pirated earth history', have the courage to despise me, the heir of the orthodox earth?!
"Stop, don't discuss this! You will experience all kinds of earth, and they all think that they are the most orthodox. The girl interrupted the question, "The erosion period lasted for 80 years, and the paradise also accepted the first generation of 'contractors', and the current Angel House is a product of that era. A hundred years later, the park was closed for unknown reasons. And the power and technological data flowing out of the 'mission world' led to Somogo entering the stage of technological explosion. Science has gone straight from the ignorant feudal era to the modern age without any brewing, and the supernatural power is constantly recovering...... The development of the home planet was completely deformed, and it was out of control for a time. Nuclear war is one of them......"
"The new era, which began about 20 years ago, opened the fire park for the second time, and then it is now."
