Volume 5 This Locked Starry Sky Chapter 135 From Myth to Civilization (3)
Jianmu was so big that although the fire on its body was raging, it seemed to have a unique way to resist it.
Octavia watched silently, the building wood in front of her had been wrapped in the red flames, the pillars of fire that rose up to the sky illuminated the night, the surrounding stones, earth, and sand were completely transparent and glazed, and the heat shrouded the forest.
Fight! Fight!! Fight!!!
An emerald green liquid flowed from the wood, dousing the flames of an area, but the forest was burning, and even the world.
In Octavia's eyes, the flames were like a giant snake spewing venom, constantly entangled in Jianmu and climbed up, trying to hang its prey completely, and then swallow the behemoth in one gulp.
Jianmu is the soldier who defends the lonely city, even if it is embattled, it still defends this lonely city, and constantly fights with the ferocious enemy for every inch of the city wall, even every brick.
In this way, the war lasted for a thousand years, during which the fire was raging, and Jianmu was already at the end of the crossbow, Octavia sighed lightly, and she jumped again to remember ten thousand years later.
The dim world was overhead, covered with black clouds, the silver dragon hidden in the black clouds rolled up and down, the deafening thunder spread to the black earth in the distance, and the air was filled with a smell of burning, and the faint smell of saltpeter sulfur.
Octavia's pale pupils had long since lost the shadow of Jianmu, and in the course of 10,000 years, Jianmu was finally burned to ashes, and Octavia looked through the continent beneath her feet, and she saw that the huge roots that had run through the entire continent and spanned thousands of miles had also turned black, and the continent had completely lost all life and become a scorched earth.
The same is true of the other two continents, but beneath the scorched earth Oktavia felt a glimmer of life, wildfires that could not be burned out, and it was a ray of hope.
"Jianmu, Jianmu." She sighed lightly again, if it weren't for the fire that had burned for 10,000 years, Jianmu would have been growing for hundreds of thousands of years, enough to break through the starry sky and completely become the second pale tree in the universe, and then the civilization of the earth would be unpredictable.
But there are not so many ifs, fate always gives you a ride in your pocket.
After the wood burned out, it was so old that it caused this continent to appear a different color from the other continents, and an orange-colored light was established between heaven and earth, bringing a comforting color to this dull planet, and whenever the time of dusk came, this color would appear between heaven and earth.
Still as at the beginning, the huge shadow of the tree, the will of the unyielding flame towers between heaven and earth, and the shadow that shuttles through thousands of years is still telling the various things of the year, silent but touching the heart.
Time memory beats again, this time a hundred years later.
It was still a dim sky, the smell of saltpeter and sulfur in the air was getting thicker and thicker, and the phantom of the building wood of this continent was becoming clearer and clearer, first at sunrise, the sunlight shining through the dim black clouds, the warm orange light was reflected by countless black clouds, layer upon layer, such as the original building wood branches, completely enveloping the sky of this continent, forming a spectacle of orange and yellow mixed with black, and the place close to the horizon, with an incredible light to form a straight pillar of light, although it could not pass through the real thing, But you can still see the pillar of light extending from the horizon to where the original building was located. Jianmu has completely become a shading tree that envelops this continent!
However, the spectacle is always fleeting, and then in the evening, the warm orange turns to orange-red, with red dominating in it.
The remnant sun is like blood, its leaves are like screaming, and its stem struggles in the color of the remnant sun, just like the fire at the beginning.
"Are you crying in this way?" Octavia watched all this indifferently.
If the morning sun represents the hope of the day, and the sunset represents the end of the day, it is just a dozen hours from the beginning to the end, and during this period, for Jianmu, it is the long hundreds of thousands of years, from birth to destruction, just a blink of an eye.
"Mirror yourself in the principles of nature, sunrise, sunset, hundreds of millions of years have not changed, you still look at this plane, but completely forgotten......" Octavia thought of the sunrise and sunset, in reality, more and more like a huge tree, bright and short.
It's a kind of sadness, and it's another way of life, a way of being good at forgetting.
Although there is hope in the other two continents, they are also bare at the moment, this planet has no life, it is in a dead silence, and in one day Octavia feels the changes of the four seasons of the year, wind and rain, frost, blowing snow, and lifeless direct rays, the black smoke after the burning of the building wood has been lingering, can not disperse, the earth is brewing a majestic.
"The Book of Genesis is about to begin......" As soon as Octavia finished speaking, the earth trembled, the long-dormant volcano began to erupt, the rain poured down, and the world burst into the strongest vitality in another way!
Octavia kept jumping time memory, she didn't see Lynn anymore, the crown of the eternal night protected her to death, there was no trace at all, but she still refused to give up, the picture flashed, hundreds of millions of fragments were accurately and effectively deprived by Octavia, this time she stopped, because she found traces of life.
Following Gaia's initial memory, the giant civilization, the ape civilization, and Jianmu have spent hundreds of millions of long times, and the earth has once again ushered in a new history!
Entering a desert, Octavia's body suddenly appeared in the universe and looked down on this planet, the original three continents were completely fragmented after the upper crustal movement, volcanic eruptions, hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the original location of Jianmu was completely separated from the other two continents, on the left side of her line of sight, forming a million-mile desert, and the remaining two continents were connected together, they were also incomplete, separated from countless islands walking on the sea, The original ocean of boiling water has changed for hundreds of millions of years to become an ocean of life again, and it has eroded part of the land, forming an ocean that is even larger than the millions of deserts.
The most interesting thing is that on the right side of the ocean, there is another continent on the edge of the continent that coincides with the two continents, which seems to be a continent left over from the previous continent fusion, so that this plane is still a total of three continents, two of which are combined into one, and the remaining two are on the left and right.
"The rudiments of human civilization?" Octavia had observed the current map of mankind, seven continents, eight oceans, and now the Genesis had the shadow of the continents on the map.
And on a plain, she saw a group of intelligent creatures wrapped in animal skins, speaking an ancient and unfamiliar language, they were human.
Octavia felt a little strange, she couldn't find a picture of the origin of humanity in Gaia's consciousness, and suddenly there was a trace of humanity on the plain in front of her, so she began to jump forward to remember, but still did not find the shadow of the origin of humanity.
"Gaia! What about your memories of the origins of humanity?!! Octavia said.
"I don't know...... I was awakened again from the nightmare, you know, only civilization can awaken my consciousness, the previous two civilizations were not enough to put me to sleep, but enough to make me sleep, and when I woke up in the nightmare, this group of intelligent species already had the foundation of civilization......"
"Could it be Lynn?" Octavia frowned and pondered, "Lin wears the Crown of Eternal Night, the Crown of Eternal Night can decipher the most basic information of any creature, coupled with Lynn's strength, it is not so difficult to create an intelligent race, and the middle civilizations in the universe all have the technology to create civilizations, not to mention the Crown of Eternal Night." ”
"If it weren't for Lin, there would be two possibilities left, one is the life that evolved over millions of years during the Gaia Chaos period, after all, there were two civilizations before, and their existence was the basis for the evolution of later generations, and the other was like the giant civilization, which belonged to an alien species."
"Actually, I tend to evolve more naturally, there are other human civilizations in the universe, but all of them are low-level civilizations, and they don't have the technology to travel far in the universe, and the life created by the Crown of the Eternal Night will not be like this...... So...... Lower. ”
Throughout human history, from tribes to cities, from stone tools to bronze tools, from steam to electricity, from macro to microcosm, there has never been a march towards the universe, and the farthest achievements in manned spaceflight are only to the moon, and how many stars are there in the Milky Way?? The earth is just a drop in the bucket.
After all, an inaccurate measure of low-level civilization in the universe is to explore the galaxy of surrounding civilizations, that is, to travel through the universe, and to have the ability to colonize the surrounding stars, although this has always existed in human civilization, but it is just an idea, and in Octavia's eyes, it will take at least a few hundred years for human beings to do this.
Since Genesis Gaia was in a state of confusion and could not be traced, Octavia did not insist on it, and she continued to observe everything.
This tribe is near the long river of a winding continent, and there are countless tribes scattered around it like stars, dotted with stars, and when Octavia jumped to another continent, he found that the two levels of this planet were covered by hundreds of millions of years of cold, forming two white continents based on ice and snow, and the pure ice of 100 million years was extremely strong.
"The rudiments of the North and South Poles?"
Completely covered in wind and snow all year round, she only looked for a moment before leaving, there was no life, and below the northernmost white continent, on a quiet and peaceful land, a river ran through the continent, and there was a shadow of civilization near it.
On the easternmost continent, compared to other continents, it is flat and unobstructed, and that continent is divided and impacted, and a mountain range that is enough to isolate any life stretches for tens of thousands of miles, completely isolated from the ocean, but it also has rivers and rivers, and the fire of life on it is scattered, and on the continent where the original building wood is located, the continent full of deserts, what Oktavia can't imagine is that there is life on it, but they lean against the ocean, above the desert.
"River civilization? Rivers give them the most basic substance, will one day they go to the ocean? ”
As Octavia watched, the spark slowly ignited, and she jumped back a hundred years into the fact that the original tribe had grown and grown, and the appearance of humans in them was different from that of modern humans, but there were things different from modern humans.
For example, the human figure that Octavia was looking at, with a handsome face and clothes that had the characteristics of his own civilization, and were covered with strange patterns, Octavia stood against him.
Naturally, he couldn't see her, not even Octavia.
Giving birth to four eyes, this is something that modern people can't do, even his tribe can't do, but life has built a miracle, his original black and white eyes, under the eyebrow frame, there is an extra pair of eyes, those eyes have never opened, just like him, standing here for three days.
For the next ten years, he came from sunrise to sunset, and let the wind and rain blow, the cold wind, the lightning and thunder, and he stood like a statue looking to the east, during which his countenance became old and wrinkled, and the human eyes were cloudy, but Octavia saw in his eyes a light that had never been seen before, something that had been brewing for a long time, if an eruption was comparable to a volcano.
Then another twenty years passed, and Octavia stood still, and he came and went every year, then three, and then five years, and then ten years.
And so, after another ten years, he reappeared in Octavia's eyes, only this time he was even more senile and dying, with one eye full of scars, and the other was the eldest with bloodshots, only the two eyes on it remained unopened.
It seemed that his spirit was very poor, there was no life in his body, but he still chose this place as his final resting place.
Perhaps in the tribe of high respect, the tribesmen built this place into a rough stone platform, he could no longer stand up, so he sat on the stone platform, at this moment the sun rose in the east, the clouds like fish scales were illuminated transparently, a big tree seemed to reflect between heaven and earth, Octavia faced a somewhat cold morning breeze, silently watched the fleeting shadow, just as she was out of her mind, the dying man suddenly opened an eye that had never been opened.
The eye was so deep that Octavia had never seen it before, and then she heard him laughing, and then she saw the old man reach out his large, rough hand like bark, and pick up a stone from the ground, leaving two crooked words on the slate ground in front of him.
The font was beautiful, but Octavia couldn't recognize it, she only felt a resonance in her veins, and after a few seconds she finally recognized the font, without it, this font was born out of her own civilization!
"Lynn!!"
"It must be Lynn!! Only Lynn will know our font!! It must have been Lynn who taught him!! ”
The string of fonts is like an iron chain, full of an extreme sense of beauty, but there are writers' own thoughts, which are different in many places, and even the skeleton of the font is different, only the shape is similar.
But Octavia still recognized it at a glance, it was an indelible memory, because it was also Lin who taught her to write in the first place, and she went crazy and kept carefully checking the details of Gaia's memories during this time, but there was still no trace, and the crown of the eternal night erased all traces of Lin.
She could only return to this point with some decadence, and it was already evening dusk, and all the stones around him were engraved with words, and the old man's body trembled, and soon came to the end of his life, and when there was no place to carve words, he threw away the stone in his hand, and sat in the center of the stone platform, watching the sunset.
One eye closed, and he opened the other, an incomparably cloudy eye, so cloudy compared to the other that he couldn't even distinguish the whites of his eyes from the kernels.
After a relieved laugh, the old man's life disappeared with the setting sun, and the stone platform was covered with his day's masterpieces.
Countless fonts, Octavia walked up to the old man, looked at the old man sitting on the ground and hung his head dead, she squatted down, stretched out her slender jade hand and rubbed the first piece of font.
The coldness of the stone carving penetrated Octavia's nerves, and the rough stone surface was a little awkward, and Octavia silently recited the two big characters that used the entire stone platform as a blank piece of paper, and his life as a pen, and wrote vigorously as his life dissipated.
"Cangjie".
