"Okay, let's get down to business, now, we're ready to start class, today's topic is the rise and fall of civilization, you can give your own opinions on the topic first." Wang Defa rubbed his hands and rubbed off some of the ashes left over from the previous fight with the old professor on the cultivation side.

"Okay, this classmate." Soon someone raised his hand, so Wang Defa directly called the classmate, who stood up and said loudly.

"The rise and fall of civilization, I think it can be attributed to the merits of the leader, when the leader is good enough, he can lead a civilization to glory, the kings of ancient times were like this, but now, because there is no guarantee that the leader must have excellent ability, so we choose the democratic system." "Decisions about the future of civilization can be made by pooling all the wisdom of all the people," he said. ”

"The third student has something to say, please!" Wang Defa nodded again at a classmate who raised his hand.

"I don't agree with this classmate, the wise decisions of leaders are very important, but I believe that economic development is the cornerstone of the progress of a civilization." The other party said, "Just imagine, isn't Darvel, a super civilization that once spanned the northwest galaxy, split due to the collapse of the internal economic system, and was finally attacked by the surrounding civilizations, and is still in exile in the universe?" ”

"I disagree!" Another classmate raised his hand.

"Please." Wang Defa didn't care, and stretched out his hand to ask the classmate to get up and speak.

"I think the rise and fall of civilization should be related to its military strength, no matter how developed your economy is, as long as my military hard power is stronger than yours, you don't have any way, you must know that the Sturt system civilization that was once the most developed in economic strength has no way to deal with the Darvel civilization, no matter how strong the economy is, what's the use!" The classmate said.

"Okay, what you said is very reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it, but I want to summarize that what you said has nothing to do with our topic today." Wang Defa smiled and said something that made everyone almost fall, "Today, our task is mainly to discuss the rise and fall of civilization, and what we need is only to learn from history, as for the foundation of civilization and prosperity, this will be the content of the next lesson." ”

"......" Everyone was silent, and there was no way to refute it, because on the huge projection screen in the classroom, the three iron laws of the classroom were written.

1. When your thoughts are different from those of the professor, it must be your thoughts that are wrong.

2. When you think differently from your professor, be sure to listen to your professor.

3. If you don't believe the professor, get out.

"It's really overbearing." Liu Qi shook his head, and couldn't help but drop a few points for the image of the Civilization Academy, whether it was the previous "Civilization" Quantum Sea Link System, to today's class, it made him feel that the courses here were a bit of a ticket nature.

"Okay, students, before class, I want to say one thing, this matter is a major matter related to the academy and the universe." Professor Wang Defa's words suddenly became serious, as if a catastrophe was coming.

"In 3 days, there will be a meeting of delegations from all major civilizations and organizations in the universe, originally, these things have nothing to do with you, and now, they still have nothing to do with it." Wang Defa said, "But, listen, the light-speed confinement belt of the Celerance Galaxy, where the home planet of the Iotar civilization was once located, has passed through tens of millions of years, and now, it has reached the point where it can be directly traversed, so all major forces will send people there, and we are no exception." ”

"There are 10 people involved, one in our class, yes, Liu, Liu Qi, where is Liu Qi? Stand up! Wang Defa said.

"I'm here." Liu Qi stood up, and then Professor Wang Defa nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it's really a talent." ”

“！ @#¥% Labor and management are wearing power armor and face masks, how do you see that I am talented?! Liu Qi suddenly felt that there were endless complaints and the power of the desolation in his heart that wanted to burst out, but in the end he held back, after all, it is not too good to burst into foul language now.

【Tips!】 Scenario Event: Triggered at the end of civilization. 】

[Mission: Mystery of the Dawn released.] 】

"New mission? Mo Qinghan, explain. Liu Qi frowned, and expressed his puzzlement about the task released by the origin now, through Tias, the guardian of the Justice Libra, Liu Qi knew the true situation of the origin system, so there was no need to ask the system anymore, and Liu Qi also understood the source of those sand sculpture profiles - it is estimated that Mo Qinghan found it from the network in Shenzhou.

"Insufficient access to information." Mo Qinghan rarely said that he had insufficient authority, "However, Liu Qi, what I can tell you is that the final disaster is not far away." ”

"You talk about the ultimate calamity every day, is it the ultimate fear similar to the supergods?" Liu Qi asked, "I need specific information, and you don't tell me anything, how can I find a way to solve things?" ”

"Insufficient access to information." Mo Qinghan repeated, his eyes were indifferent blue light, which means that the current Mo Qinghan is completely emotionless, just a simple artificial intelligence.

"It's really irritating." Liu Qi shook his head, and then leaned directly on the back of the seat, "I still want to ask more information, this civilization academy gives me a feeling that is also a little special." ”

"Civilization Academy? Civilization Apocalypse, how does it feel so familiar? Could it be that the Academy of Civilization itself is also an eternal ark? Liu Qi suddenly realized something, "Although it is said to be a huge planet, the Justice Libra has formed the Aeolian Galaxy through the separation of various parts, so such a planet, as an eternal ark, seems to be reasonable." ”

"Forget it, don't think about it, let's take a step and see one step at a time." Liu Qi thought about it, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, Liu Qi was not interested in the theory of the rise and fall of civilization mentioned by Wang Defa.

40 minutes later, the long class ended, and Liu Qi no longer knew when he was waiting for the end of class like this, at least he hadn't encountered it for a long time.

"Alright, let's go outside and have a look." Liu Qi thought about it, left the teaching building, and came to the sightseeing area of the college, yes, the sightseeing area, the civilization academy is a huge building complex covering an area of one planet, and the number of such sightseeing areas is definitely quite a lot.

"The oxygen content is not small, and it is indeed very consistent with the survival rules of carbon-based life." Liu Qi walked among the greenery, followed by a woman in white, with a smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, looking kind and natural.

"Qinghan, you say, what is the essence of life?" Liu Qi bent down and put his face close to a green plant, there was a small insect above it, crawling on the leaves, Liu Qi reached out and touched the leaves, and the other party suddenly flew away with a wing.

"I don't understand." The woman in white shook her head, "Although I am an intelligent being, I can't answer these questions that none of you human philosophers can explain, and if you answer them by definition, life is an individual with the ability to think and act independently." ”

"Hmm." Liu Qi nodded, "The technology tree of the X.-rank civilization is gray, is it because Iota has never reached it, right?" ”

"Yes, the history of Iota in my database shows that X-tier civilizations are civilizations that need to understand the nature of life or the universe, but the understanding of the universe is like the area that a huge circle touches, and the more you know, the more you find out what you don't know, so the final civilization can only be infinitely close to X-tier, and cannot be reached." Mo Qinghan said.

So, have you ever thought that maybe life doesn't have any meaning in the first place? It's like time. Liu Qi said suddenly, his words were amazing, but Mo Qinghan was silent.

The woman in white slowly lowered her head, the golden light of the stars behind her shone on the ground through the leaves, casting a mottled broken shadow, Mo Qinghan stood under the tree, there was no shadow - after all, it was a projection of a quantum state, not an entity, so the photon could pass through directly.

"Heh, I've been a little sentimental lately, don't mind, let's continue shopping, it's rare to be free, give the whole company a holiday today, so decided!" Liu Qi stretched and said.

"You are really ......" Mo Qinghan smiled dumbly, not knowing how to answer, for a boy who will never grow up, she can't care about anything, just let him go.

Man, perhaps, is such a creature, after passing through time, he will become old, but when the light is long to a certain extent, he will become immature again, becoming, like a newborn baby.

Mo Qinghan sometimes felt that the ancient culture of Shenzhou was too advanced, and the words "No Ji Tailai" could be summed up, not at all like a civilization that had not even walked out of the planet.

-- Dividing line --

"Elena, this is an opportunity and we can't miss it." In the freshman teacher's office, a dark shadow rarely appeared behind a woman, the woman had a purple and blue complexion, if Liu Qi was here, it was not difficult to see that the other party was his former mentor.

"Resas, please give me a little more time." The woman said, closing the notebook in front of her, raising her fingers and rubbing her temples, "The attraction of the home planet to the cosmic civilization is too great, and we are not sure that the final ruling process will be initiated in this case." ”

"Why, you can obviously use your ability, you can destroy the entire universe and avenge civilization a long time ago!" The black shadow began to distort, and the red features began to distort.

"Are you going to betray our civilization! Don't forget, Elena, if it weren't for civilization, you wouldn't be alive now! The shadow roared, dancing wildly behind Arena.

"You are the leading mentor of this operation, as long as you fool those students who don't know anything, they will rush forward without hesitation, how simple, rely on the information of students and some ruins to drag these main civilizations, we will have a chance, it will not be too rare, Elena, believe me!" The shadow spoke, expanding a little in size, and said in a demagogic voice in Elena's ear.

"No, we, we can't be blinded by hatred, eventually disaster is coming, we can't directly launch this revenge!" Elena's eyes suddenly burst into a hint of clarity, and she said.

"You're betraying our civilization!" The dark shadow roared.

"No, we should learn to put it in, Resas, I know the squalor of the three major forces, but the current universe, without any of them, will definitely break the balance, and when the time comes, the continuous war will make the entire universe lose the ability to resist the final disaster!" Elena said, her eyes completely unbewildered, unusually determined.

"This may be the reason why I can't be chosen as the Apocalypse, Resus, we shouldn't indulge in hatred, hatred will only make us lose our minds." Elena said, and the dark shadow behind her began to wail in pain.

"No, revenge, we must take revenge, we must make the three major forces pay their price!" The dark shadow roared, trying to fight before finally dying.

"The great war of that year destroyed the civilization of the Cyrens system, and also shattered countless families of the three major forces, the war traumatized both sides, and hatred will only bring hatred in the end, we must learn to change." "I'm not a saint, Resas, but my heart is still righteous. ”

"Let the light of civilization shine on the entire universe." Elena said, closing her eyes and gesturing an "I" on her chest.

"No, no!" The shadow began to wail more violently, gradually turning into black smoke, and finally dissipated completely.

"Resas, we've all changed, we used to be, how innocent we were, but now ......" Elena stood up, and the black shadow behind her dissipated, replaced by a white shadow.

"Welcome back, Guardian - Ainir." White Shadow said slowly, "Supreme Guardian, Oriath has informed you that you don't need to look for a successor directly, just go with the flow and wait for him to find out on his own." ”

"Thank you, Reyktor, I almost fell into the Devil's Path." Elena, who should be called Ainiel by now, smiled helplessly.

The Eternal Ark - The Guardians of the Apocalypse of the Ages is definitely the most special of all the Arks, because its guardians are not one or two, but two pairs, known as the Twins, a pair of darkness, symbolizing war, and a pair of light, symbolizing civilization.

"Needless to say, Tias is still back, and justice will surely lead civilization to glory." Bai Ying's voice is indifferent and emotionless, but it can make people feel warm from the heart.

"Sometimes I really envy my successor and don't know anything, indeed, ignorance, and sometimes, it's happiness!" Ainir said, and then, slowly turned around, and disappeared into the space, at this time, Ainil's complexion had changed to white, and he was wearing a mage robe similar to the Middle Ages, looking extremely holy.

"May the light of civilization shine on the universe." The white shadow said a word, and disappeared.
