196. The original dream
"Actually, I don't want to be the person you think you are."
Gu Tao's hands were bandaged, and after a long period of suffering, he finally beat two hundred percent of his mirror image, but he was almost inhuman, but he did not choose to accept restorative treatment, but instead put himself on a splint, and then sat on the gorgeous long table with a miserable face to eat and drink with the old man.
"And what do you want?"
"I want to sing." Gu Tao poured himself a large glass of wine: "Be a bard, wander around the map with a guitar on your back, release an album in ten years, and then let hundreds of thousands of millions of fans wait quietly for my new song." β
The old man's face was pale, and in his consciousness, it was absolutely impossible for his descendants to be so unproductive, but the little beast in front of him was so unproductive, but there was no way to do it, the only bone and blood......
"You really don't look like someone from our family."
"It's not like it, it's not like it, I didn't have any light in the first place, whether it's on the home planet or on the earth, everything I have is because I'm good enough." Gu Tao's face was blue and purple, and his tone was naturally not much better: "You suddenly tell me now that you are my grandfather, and then you are going to send me a task." To be honest, I don't really want to talk to you. β
The old man's eyes widened: "You dare to disobey me?" β
"Don't put that shelf, I'll give you face and call you grandpa, if you don't give you face, you're a bad old man, you put the emperor on the shelf in front of others, what's the use of you blowing your beard and staring in front of me? Do you want to see me kneeling at your feet and shouting, 'Grandpa Huang's life, I'm terrified'? You've really lived back a lot of your age. Gu Tao touched the corner of his mouth with a napkin: "Since the day I landed on the earth, I have never planned to rely on anyone, even if I don't have your inheritance, I have my own way, at most it is to be slower, but I am still young, I have a lot of time to squander." β
"You really look like your father."
"That's a strange thing you say, how can I not be like him? And in my eyes, my father is much more powerful than you, the emperor, although he is only a little teacher, but as my enlightener, he has more influence on me than anyone else, but you, the powerful emperor, have no influence on me at all, and even your name can only be seen from textbooks and biographies. Why, do you think you can have much influence on me? Or is it that you, the emperor of the spirit body, still plan to use the aura of a king to intimidate me? Gu Tao smiled, with disdain: "I told you before, we don't have any special feelings, you want to be a grandfather, let's be like a grandfather, we are like a grandfather, if you want to put the emperor's score for me, don't blame me for being a mob." β
After he finished speaking, the old man actually laughed, touched his beard and shook his head: "You are so naΓ―ve, you are still not a citizen of the empire?" β
Gu Tao frowned and made no sound.
"You still think of yourself as a citizen of the empire deep down, right, so now that the empire is destroyed, should you do something for the empire?"
"If you want to say that, I can actually accept it. Or you can use the tone of a grandfather, but don't use the tone of an emperor. β
"Young people are a little arrogant." The old man pushed a pamphlet to Gu Tao: "Take a look." β
When he sat there and flipped through the booklet, Gu Tao's mouth was not idle for a moment, and he said to the old man while reading: "What do you think of the earth civilization. β
"Primitive, backward, barbaric, ignorant, low." The old man said a series of things, and then suddenly the words changed: "There is nothing but hope." β
"Cultural people just don't talk the same." Gu Tao was frowning and looking at the booklet, but when he heard the old man's comment, he laughed: "I reached a consensus with you for the first time, and in fact, there are many great works of art on the earth, some are words, some are film and television, some are dances, some are songs, and some are paintings, from the perspective of the depth of thinking, they are not worse than us." β
"The same seed will not grow different crops."
"Hmm......" Gu Tao said perfunctorily, and then raised his head sharply: "There are only seven human civilizations left in the galaxy?" And it's decreasing? β
"If nothing else, there should only be two left." The old man took a deep breath: "What do you think?" β
"Earth and where?"
"Centaurs."
Gu Tao didn't react for a moment, and looked at the old man directly: "In other words, apart from the two of us, there is only the lone seedling of the earth left?" β
"Theoretically, that's true."
"Why?"
The old man smiled and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Because the appearance of the entire human civilization is very strange, then what is strange about it disappearing in a strange way?" β
"Creation of civilization? Is it them? β
The old man is noncommittal about this speculation, but if there is only one seedling left in the Milky Way, the Earth, then ......
"The rest of the test plots have failed, and only the seedlings of the earth that have just begun to sprout remain."
Gu Tao thinks that this kind of speculation is the closest to possibility, if that legendary first-class civilization really has such the ability to kill all the second-third, fourth-class civilizations in a snap of his fingers, then ...... What can he do on his own? Flying a spaceship with a handful of people to be the Guardians of the Galaxy?
So he thought about it, and decided to eliminate the creation civilization from this great demise of civilization, there may not be so many conspiracies in the world, maybe it's just because of coincidence.
It's just this coincidence, he doesn't want to believe it, even if he deceives himself, he can't fool himself.
"This pamphlet says that the last creation civilization appeared on Earth?" When Gu Tao saw half of it, he raised his head again: "What about the characteristics?" β
"The creation of civilization is just the definition we give it, what kind of civilization it belongs to, it has not yet been determined, the former Galactic Alliance has sent search teams to search more than once, but nothing has been found, except for a broken spaceship that obviously does not belong to the galactic civilization has been recovered."
"Where's the ship?"
"That's what you drive." The old man raised his head and glanced at Gu Tao: "Centaur." β
"Huh?" Gu Tao was stunned: "I didn't find anything special about it." β
"I didn't find out either, at that time, the entire Galactic Alliance used three hundred cosmic years to gather everyone's wisdom and failed to crack its secrets, no one found out. But I have a feeling that its secret must be a shocking secret, and I hope you can unlock it. β
Isn't this embarrassing, what do you mean by hoping you can solve it, the entire Galactic Federation has not solved the problem, what can he do as a thug who dreams of singing and being a bard? This is simply like pulling out a native from Africa who is chasing gazelles all over the ground and asking him to take over as the CEO of **** Group, isn't this nonsense?
Toothache...... Braincase pain...... Body aches......
Gu Tao propped one hand on the table, looked at the mother star text on the booklet, and then suddenly raised his head: "Why are the two of us who can speak Saturn, sitting here and speaking Chinese." β
"Hmm......" the old man seemed to react, "what's the matter?" β
"Alright, let's not talk about spaceships, and we won't talk about first-class civilizations. I just want to know, what's going on with my body? β
"It's evolving, and it's time for you to strengthen yourself. Okay, that's all for today's chat, the training tasks I have arranged for you in the second phase will be more difficult. β
"Hard? How hard can it be? Gu Tao pointed to his hand that was still playing the splint: "Is this so miserable?" β
β¦β¦
Sitting on the beach of a lonely island, with a bonfire in front of him, wearing a simple apron that had just been woven from palm leaves, Gu Tao held his hands on his knees, looked up at the vast sea, and let out a long sigh, while the sound of fierce beasts came from the lush woods behind him.
With no weapons or armor, Gu Tao felt that he would be beaten by the saber-toothed tiger that suddenly came out at any time, and the only tool in his hand was a fairly sharp stone picked up from the sea, and the fire in front of him was made by the most primitive method of drilling wood for fire, and life was quite difficult.
"Captain, doesn't it sound familiar, that's how it was when you were training cadets."
"Do I have their basic abilities?" Gu Tao grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at Satania: "Why don't you let me finish my meal and then get me." β
Satania knelt beside him, squinting at Gu Tao and smiling, looking very unbeaten.
"I'm sorry, Captain. In addition to surviving, you also need to train with me every day. Satanya raised her small fist: "I will not show mercy." β
"Practicing with you? Hehe, you can't wear armor. β
"No."
"No weapons can be used."
"No, you don't."
"You can't summon a fleet."
"No, it won't."
"Then you're dead." Gu Tao stood up: "Lao Tzu is full of resentment now, if I don't beat you, it's really hard to understand that I only hate in my heart." β
After Gu Tao finished speaking, a vicious dog pounced and rushed towards Satania...... But in the next second, he was suddenly punched in the chest, and he immediately deflated when the punch hurt, clutching his chest and rolling on the ground...... At this time, Satania made a gesture of fighting skills, and the next batch was stable.
And Gu Tao only then realized how powerful the auxiliary function of the armor was, before he thought that his fighting skills were strong enough, but now he found that his speed and reaction could not keep up with Satania......
"Captain, all fighting skills are common, pay attention to fast, accurate and steady, the mode you just now is only suitable for situations with armor boosts, otherwise you will be knocked to the ground."
Gu Tao took a sip and stood up from the ground: "Come again!" β
About an hour later......
"We have something to say, it's a big deal that I will release you, and from then on you will be relieved of grievances, and you will not hate each other, one will be separated and two will be wide, and everyone will be happy."
Gu Tao was trampled on the soles of Satanya's feet and had been beaten into a pig's head. Without the help of armor, Gu Tao is really a weak chicken, and he has completely discovered it.
"Come on, Captain, you've been targeted by a sturdy female panther."
"What?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew past him, and then a leopard with a shiny body of oil and at least two meters long jumped in front of him, and then began to assume an attacking posture, looking at Gu Tao seriously.
"Hold the grass! Is this a leopard? It's a lion! β
Gu Tao turned over, bowed down and stared at the black panther, he knew that he would definitely not be able to run away at this time, because it was impossible for him to outrun the leopard, and it was a natural skill for animals to attack from behind......
"Satania! You're setting this difficulty too high, I'm going to die. β
"Come on, you're already good, it's too low to make you progress."
After Satania finished speaking, the panther launched an attack, Gu Tao's only way was to fight, one person and one leopard scuffled on the beach, Gu Tao was injured in many places in an instant, but fortunately, it was all skin trauma, he forced his body to guide the leopard to the beach little by little, and when a wave hit, he suddenly strangled the leopard's neck and brought the leopard into the water with his own strength.
Gu Tao can breathe underwater, but the leopard can't, as soon as he chokes on the water, the situation immediately flips, but the salt in the sea water makes Gu Tao's wound hurt to the core, and tears are about to come out......
"Satania, fuck your ancestors!"
After shouting these words, Gu Tao sank into the water with the leopard, and it was not until ten minutes later that he dragged the huge leopard out of the water with a scarred face, the black leopard was already dead, but Gu Tao was not lightly injured, he glanced at Satania coldly: "You wait for Lao Tzu, I have a way to get you." β
"Captain, please forgive me, this is to keep you alive, I can quietly tell you some secrets."
"What's the secret?"
"For example......" Satania was silent for a moment, "creating civilization." β
When Gu Tao heard this, he didn't say much, just dragged the leopard to the fire, and began to disembowel the leopard with a stone knife: "You say." β
According to His Majesty's analysis, he believes that the creation civilization may be a higher-dimensional civilization system, because the virtual arena can adjust the flow of time, and this technology is not even available in the empire, and another place that can regulate the flow of time is the dream of mankind. In other words, the virtual arena is actually a dream world. The Earth civilization is the only civilization with legends about dreams and virtual space, and even each of its sub-civilizations has similar dream legends. β
Gu Tao listened quietly, but he had already cut the leopard meat in his hand and put it on a stone and placed the stone in the center of the fire: "In other words, the earth is the place where it is most likely to find clues to first-class civilization?" β
"Theoretically, this is the case, and there are many things in the earth civilization that they themselves cannot explain, and His Majesty the Emperor thinks that these things are traces of a higher civilization. Even the entire arcane side may be a by-product of the creation civilization. β
Gu Tao was stunned: "You mean...... Are there all the secret spells? β
"Theoretically possible, but the specific content, we still need more information, if we find the creation civilization, maybe we can know the reason for the fall of the centaur civilization, but we don't know whether the creation civilization is friendly to us or not."
"By the way, will there be interstellar pirates? Civilization perished, but those advanced civilizations have tens of billions of people, and it is impossible to completely die, right? Will they find Earth? β
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, and it is still necessary to establish the captain's protection network."
This grandson finally said something beautiful, no matter what, the protective net still needs to be built, and the secret method side still needs to be supported, and now it has just come out of the novice village, and the future is long......
Although he was beaten by the robot for an hour and scratched by the little beast, Gu Tao didn't care too much, when he was roasting, he was full of how to toss the secret method side, until the leopard meat exuded a unique meat fragrance, he raised his head: "How is the sixth son?" β
