Chapter 258: Five Generations and Seven Clans
"You two, why are you in such a hurry? Can't you spend more time here with me, an old man? ”
Just as Su Shi and the two were looking for their way out, they heard a sound coming from overhead, and it was getting closer and closer, the two followed the sound and looked up, only to see a man who was slowly falling, Su Shi hurriedly came to Luo Shiqi's (shēn) side, his left hand covered Luo Shiqi's eyes, and the right arm that had mutated because of the atavistic phenomenon was also constantly accumulating strength at this time, although Su Shi did not know the specific use of this strange power, But the power after transforming the elemental power in the body through his arm is very powerful, and Su Shi is convinced of this.
The man looked at Su Shi, who was ready to attack, then at his own (shēn) body, nodded thoughtfully, and the skin on the surface of his body began to change, to Su Shi's shock, although the man in front of him looked like a person, the clothes that suddenly appeared on this man (shēn) reminded Su Shi of his danger (xìng).
After dressing his (shēn) body in the same clothes as Su Shi, the man looked at Su Shi's right hand and smiled, and with his thoughts, the power accumulated in Su Shi's hand disappeared invisibly.
"Don't worry, do you know how hard it is for both of you brains to parse? There is still a lot of useless information, so I have a lot of things to reason about on my own. ”
The man walked towards Su Shi and Luo Shiqi, but the two had no way out, Luo Shiqi gently slapped Su Shi's hand off and looked at the man who was walking over.
"You are." Luo Shiqi thought for a moment and asked the person in front of him, "Is it the ancestor of Ah Shi?" ”
Hearing that Luo Shiqi had finally figured out his (shēn), the man looked distressed, and Su Shi looked at the man who was very similar to his own face making such a contrived expression (qíng), and his heart was a little uncomfortable, and then he saw that the man had walked to the center and slowly sat in place.
"Wasn't that the one who spoke to us just now a program?" Su Shi looked at the person in front of him and expressed his doubts.
The man also replied to Su Shi with a regretful face:
"I still wish I was a programmer, after all, I could die."
"Speaking of which, are you two sure you want to stay so far away from me?" Seeing Su Shi and Luo Shiqi, who were looking at him vigilantly by the wall, and Luo Shiqi, who was looking curious, this person smiled, and then invited Su Shi and the others to come to his (shēn) side.
Before Su Shi and the others could react, two piers that happened to match the height of Su Shi and the others appeared on the flat ground, and then the two sat down in a stunned state.
"Okay, okay, sit down, I've been holding back for so many years, and I've finally found an opportunity for me to say what I need to say (qíng), you two don't think about running, and when I tell you everything, you can leave."
After Su Shi and Luo Shiqi felt that the energy in their bodies could not operate in a normal trajectory after approaching the person in front of them, they no longer resisted, after all, if they wanted to kill the two of them, he could do it immediately.
Seeing Su Shi who was gradually calming down, this person was also satisfied and began to tell the story he wanted Su Shi to know.
"When you were looking for the exit just now, I probably recompiled what I knew based on the knowledge in your consciousness, and the two of you are really not worry-free, if you slow down, you will really find a way out."
After calming down, Luo Shiqi realized a problem, that is, the person in front of him, the voice coming out of his mouth, is the Chinese language, in the establishment of the Chinese Federation to this day, the concept of nationality has been gradually erased, and the language that originally belonged to the various countries of the Chinese Federation, has gradually been integrated into the Chinese language, after experiencing the evolution of the war, gradually formed a new language based on Chinese, supplemented by other languages, was named Huaxia, since then, Although people who originally belonged to the land of China could understand Chinese, the original usage of Chinese and those other languages has become a professional discipline.
And she and Su Shi did not receive an orthodox education, so the words (rì) often spoke were naturally Chinese, not this new language, and the learning ability of the person in front of him made Luo Shiqi feel a little shocked, after all, learning a language through energy fluctuations is much more difficult than using energy fluctuations to communicate this kind of thing (qíng).
"I've lived for so long, I've forgotten my past, and there's a man named Prometheus in your memory, just call me that." The two of them clearly felt that Prometheus was very sad in his heart when he said this.
"I should have said just now that on this earth, there were once seven sufficiently powerful biological groups, and these seven groups eventually succeeded in breaking away from the limitations of their own (shēn) and went to the four-dimensional space to become high-level beings."
"According to your words, the earth is divided into five generations, before the primeval times, when there were no life forms on the earth that could be explored, the first race on the earth to go to the four-dimensional space appeared, and in this era, that race has become a legendary existence, no, even in our time, this race is already a legend, we can only barely know their existence from the door they left behind, as for their form of existence, We don't know how they got to the four-dimensional space. However, their existence must have given life to the earth at that time. ”
"Maybe, they'll know." Prometheus said softly, but this voice did not reach the ears of Su Shi and Luo Shiqi.
After a brief silence, Prometheus continued:
"Later, it's the second race, the time they survived, probably existed between the Jixian period and the Aurora period in the Proterozoic Era, although the information of that race is also less, but compared to the first race, they left a lot more, the Cambrian biological explosion of the Paleozoic Era You both seem to be familiar with (tǐng), it's strange to say, obviously the races behind us left behind when they left extinction, but only they brought a biological explosion, which makes people a little puzzled, However, there is no definite conclusion as to how they came into being and how they evolved until we go. ”
"Perhaps, they can be considered the ancestors of all those who come after us."
"Later, it was the third ascending race, in the Cambrian period, through the deliberate obstruction of the earth's star consciousness, the evolution speed of the creatures that should have evolved rapidly was significantly reduced, so that for nearly 100 million years in the entire Cambrian period, no race evolved enough to go to a higher dimension, and after the Cambrian, the influence of the earth's star consciousness gradually declined, and the ocean wrapped the entire earth and gave the creatures at that time a chance to evolve."
"At that time, the elemental energy on the earth, in the observation of our race, was the most intense in the entire history of the earth, and even when our race left, the concentration of elemental energy was not as good as it was at that time."
Speaking of this, the undisguised envy (qíng) in Prometheus's eyes made Su Shi and Luo Shiqi yearn for it, in their opinion, the concentration of elemental energy in the settlement was already very high in the cognition of the two of them, even if the carrying capacity of liquid for elemental energy was much better than that of gas, it was difficult for them to imagine what the elemental level was like at that time, so that this existence that had witnessed the ascension of the clansmen was also so yearning.
"It was also from that time that the influence of star consciousness on the creatures on the earth began to slowly decrease." Prometheus turned his head, stared at the two, and then asked:
"Do you think that the consciousness of the stars exists for a reason?"
"Guiding the emergence of new life on the planet?" Su Shi replied, but he also understood that what he said was wrong.
Perhaps, when each star is born, they will be given their own mission? For example, what is the mission of the sun to maintain the solar system? Luo Shiqi thought about it, and didn't know what to say, because in her opinion, Xingchen realized that the birth did not have any meaning, maybe it was an unknowable existence to give meaning to the Xingchen consciousness, or maybe there was no such existence, but in any case, Luo Shiqi couldn't think of the meaning of the birth of the Xingchen consciousness at all.
"The correct answer is, evolve, let him evolve himself."
Prometheus paused, then said to the two:
"If the evolution of our organisms is to obtain a more adaptable (shēn) body and a farther and deeper vision, what is the standard for the evolution of the planet?"
Prometheus put away (shēn) the elemental energy that escaped from the side, and the energy luck in Su Shi and Luo Shiqi's bodies slowly returned to their normal trajectory, and the original star light in Su Shi's body also slowly multiplied with Su Shi's energy operation.
After a period of silence, the power of starlight, which had become more and more due to the flow of energy in his body, finally reached a threshold, and before Su Shi could react, these starlight powers came to his arms, and after a burst of light, the power of starlight disappeared, and Su Shi's arms, which had become crystal clear, also changed back to the harmonious and unified appearance of the (shēn) body.
"What you hear is the standard for the evolution of the stars." Without explaining why Su Shi's arm had changed, or where the starlight power in Su Shi's body had gone, Prometheus Knowledge continued with his words.
"Although the power of the stars is strong, they are also bound by this powerful power (jìn), and getting rid of this shackle is the common desire of all star consciousness."
"The consciousness of the stars should not be able to exist independently, and when they get rid of their own (shēn) body, won't their consciousness also disappear?" Luo Shiqi was a little puzzled, even the consciousness of the stars could not exist alone from the carrier.
"For the star's consciousness of the stars, as long as there is enough time and a strong enough substitute, they can get rid of their original (shēn) body and gain freedom, which is not much different for the planet, but the planet's consciousness cannot leave his body no matter what, and everything about this is what is left over from the Fourth Ascension."
"The fourth group, they lived in the Devonian period, and it was not until the late Devonian period that the climate changes and the retreat of the oceans forced them to leave this dimension and go to the four-dimensional space."
"Must?"
"Yes, I have to, compared to the first three ascending races, which can only evolve from the depth of life, the civilization of the Devonian period can already support them to evolve in the breadth of life, and this has also become the fuse that they have to leave."
"As the original amphibian creatures, they have gradually learned how to survive in the universe in tens of millions of years of evolution, it can be said that as long as they are given a little more time, they will become the first creatures on the earth to go to the universe, but they have evolved to such a point in just 50 million years, so that the consciousness of the earth has the hope of getting rid of the earth, so, in order to make this group unable to leave the earth, the consciousness of the earth has deliberately accelerated the evolution of the climate, resulting in a decrease in temperature, And although the Fourth Race has a strong enough civilization, they have no way to solve their dependence on the environment. ”
Thinking of this, Prometheus's face was filled with regret.
"But it's not so much that they can't get rid of it, but rather that the temperature hasn't changed for tens of millions of years from the beginning of civilization to its end, and they're used to the fact that the world will move the way they want it to, which leads to such a tragedy."
"Then, they found the secret realm left by the third clan, which was the last gift left by the third clan to the latecomers, and it was there that the fourth clan gradually began to have a cognition of elemental energy, and only then did they begin to have an elemental cultivation system, and it was precisely because of this secret realm left by the third clan that the fourth clan was saved from the flourishing fourth clan."
"It is precisely because of this that the Fifth Race, the Sixth Race, and my people will receive a certain amount of guidance when the possibility of evolution (xìng) is first generated, so that our evolution will not die young, and you, too."
Speaking of which, Prometheus also fell into deep remembrance, not long after he returned to the clan, he encountered the collective ascension of the entire clan, although he was a little afraid at the beginning, and their race, it was not until they reached the shallows in front of the four-dimensional space that they finally connected everything they knew, which temporarily let him be the inheritor, and he also accepted this task because he was attached to the original world, and returned to this world.
When he returned to this world, he encountered the rising tide of the river of time, which allowed him to spend a long time in the river of time, and he saw almost the entire history of the earth except for the time before the disappearance of the unobservable second race. When he returned to Earth safely, the earth had undergone tremendous changes, the temperature had decreased, the concentration of elements had decreased, and the influence of the earth's consciousness on living beings had become stronger again, so he had to choose to secretly help this human being who had begun to take shape, helping them establish the initial settlement, and handed over the method of finding these miniature spaces attached to the main universe to the humans who had learned to use tools at that time, of course, the method was buried in their racial memory, until the human intelligence was enough to understand, The message he left behind appeared.
"As for the Fifth Clan, when they left, it was really earth-shattering, so much so that when I was observing, the period at the end of the Permian was like looking at pre-Cambrian history, and I only heard of it by name, and I didn't see it. However, the only thing that is certain is that in order to cause the unity of the earth's continents and the overall temperature rise (qíng), the Fifth Race must have done something embarrassing (qíng) before leaving. ”
"It was only after the departure of the Fifth Race that the dominance of the sea finally declined, and we, as a race living on land and in the sky, were able to slowly get rid of the oppression of the sea."
Prometheus is also a little lucky, after all, if it weren't for the Fifth Race doing something (qíng) that caused the earth's environment to change abruptly, then no one knows how many years these sea creatures will rule the earth, and after hundreds of millions of years of essence, the sea creatures' excavation of the environment has reached an extreme, and the ocean, as a place to give birth to life, has naturally become a place that hinders the progress of life, if there is no third mass extinction, Sea life is still dominant, and the ocean, which has no potential to be tapped, will not be able to support the next Ascended Race, and if that happens, the Earth will fall into a dead silence.
"This sixth tribe, but the most quietly left, this mass extinction of creatures, is also inseparable from the fifth tribe, after all, if they didn't inexplicably gather the continent together, there would not be a division of the Pangea continent in the late Triassic period caused by frequent crustal movements, but speaking of which, the form of the sixth tribe should be more familiar to you, it can be regarded as the ancestor of the crocodile on the earth now, they are the overlords of that era, and their existence almost made the entire Pangea continent tremble, Although they are the top predators, they still have evolved extremely high intelligence, but after the development and growth of our race, the crocodiles left on the earth have almost no intelligence, and only a small number of crocodiles remain, and they still insist on bringing us the information of their own race. ”
"The rise of the Sixth Clan must be inextricably linked with the Fifth Clan, but what these connections are, I'm afraid no one can know anymore."
Hearing this, Luo Shiqi poked Su Shi and said softly in Su Shi's ear:
"If your abilities don't disappear, can you go to that time?"
And everything in this space seems to be controlled by Prometheus, and before Su Shi could answer, he took the first step and answered Luo Shiqi's doubts:
"Su Shi's ability to travel through time and space is based on the concept of the present, by strengthening the connection to the present, in order to gain the ability to travel through time and space without getting lost, Su Shi can obtain the ability of the future because Su Shi Ben (shēn) exists in the future, but there is no Su Shi in the past, if there is a forced connection, then this connection can only be the connection between bloodlines, and this too fragile connection is simply not enough to support Su Shi to return to the past, even if it is 10 million years is a very difficult thing ( qíng)。 ”
Su Shi thinks back now, it seems that this is exactly the case, the past he returned to is the moment of his existence, as for the farther past, every time he rises up to explore, there will always be a marquee-like scene in front of his eyes, which makes him feel restless, and so on, Su Shi no longer thinks about exploring the limited past, after all, for him, although the single but infinite future is what he really likes.
"This kind of thing (qíng), after you take the human race to the four-dimensional space together, wouldn't it be better for you to ask the seniors of the fifth and sixth races yourself? What's the hurry? ”
Prometheus paused, then continued:
"Later, it was the strong period of our race, speaking of which, although we belong to the same time period as the dinosaurs, the period when their intelligence appeared was much slower than ours, until our people left, their intelligence was just the same as that of human beings whose minds were not fully developed, but the environment at that time was also (tǐng) to take care of them."
Luo Shiqi faintly felt that Prometheus was a little envious, and when Prometheus said that the Seventh Race and the dinosaurs belonged to the same time period, she couldn't help but think of those who sacrificed themselves to restore the elemental power of the earth to a point where they could produce new intelligent creatures, and the problem that Prometheus said about the dinosaurs producing intelligence may also be due to the decrease in the concentration level of the elements at that time.
"In fact, at the beginning, we didn't know what the four-dimensional space was, compared with other Ascension races, our race has a natural disadvantage, that is, our people need to be born under very harsh environmental conditions, and this environment can only appear on the earth, even if we have mastered the technology of flying out of the earth, but the inheritance of our race makes us have to be trapped on the earth."
"Until we reached the shallows of the dimension, we thought we were sacrificing for the sake of the earth that could produce new intelligent life, and it was only after we got there that we understood the true meaning behind what we did (qíng)."
Listening to Prometheus's nostalgia for the past of his race, Su Shi was moved by his endless stream of glorious moments from his consciousness, but Luo Shiqi's heart (qíng) is a little complicated, judging from the information that Prometheus is now bringing to them, the seventh ascended race has some characteristics (xìng):
1. Living above the sky, isolated from the world, but also communicating.
2. The Seventh Clan suffered a lot in the early days because of the scarcity of the clan, and it was not until the inheritors of the Sixth Clan began to guide them that it was a little better, but these things (qíng) were also things that were forgotten by time (qíng) for Prometheus, and they were only learned before the ascension (qíng).
3. Technology is extremely developed, and even interstellar travel can be carried out, but it is limited to the body and life inheritance that causes it to be unable to leave the earth, and finally chose to sacrifice for the future of the earth, and (yīn) became the seventh ascended race by mistake.
Luo Shiqi suddenly felt that the person in front of him seemed to have seen it there, and when he looked at Su on the side (shēn), Luo Shiqi's heart (qíng) was a little complicated, after all, he and Liu Zhixun traveled to the end of the Cretaceous Period because of the resonance of the elemental fragments, and because of the trouble caused by Liu Zhixun's race, he inexplicably became a winged human race, and finally saw the last moment of the winged human race (qíng), which is a little too mysterious anyway.
And at this moment, something even more mysterious (qíng) happened to appear in front of her, a person suspected of being a Winged Human, claiming to be the ancestor of Su Shi's bloodline, and if all the Winged Humans were ascending, then how should Carlisle explain? The gem that can carry the information of all the winged human races, Luo Shiqi will not admit it.
