After showing Cen Mu his existence.

Instinct said: "Actually, you can't blame me for concealing it, my memory is activated and awakened in the process of continuous upgrading, as I told you before, I originally thought I was you, but then I found out that I am not you, I know a lot of knowledge that does not exist in this world, during this time, I am also thinking, who am I?"

The connection between us started when you used that bottle of potion, in my embryonic stage, I was still a creature of your three-dimensional world, protected by the rules of the world, until you woke me up, after waking up, I opened my memory, cognitive transformation, form began to recover, transformation to multidimensional creatures, now you also see the status quo I am in, I do not belong to this world, I am rejected by this world, you are my only anchor point in this world, once you die, I will not be able to cling to this world, and will be caught in the turbulence of time and space, There is a chaotic, immortal and immortal world, we call it the 'gray space', there is no need to live, there is no need to die, there is no sense of existence, everything is nothing, with my current ability, enter the gray space, then it will completely die. ”

Seeing Cen Mu put down the dagger, he instinctively continued: "Very good! Looks like you understand. When you promoted me to the third rank in Rock Town, I activated some of my memories and gradually figured out where I came from. ”

Silence.

After a moment, instinct muttered, "I am the race known as 'Protos', and we exist in this universe...... Well, countless years, all right! I don't remember exactly......"

"My ancestors said that we are the earliest civilization in the universe, our civilization has gone through many epochs, on many planets, evolved countless branches, maybe the current branch of the Protos people is completely different from my people, maybe they have forgotten their origins, maybe they have all perished, but it is undeniable that we are the pioneers of the evolution of civilization."

"The wise men of our people have been contemplating the ultimate form of life, and yet, no one has found the result. My civilization is one of the furthest branches of Protos on this path, and we divide the civilization epoch into four phases:

The first age, the primitive stage, that is, the stage in which your civilization is located, starting from the wilderness, getting to know the world first, making tools, and improving life;

In the second era, walking into the starry sky and having the ability to explore space, you have declared that you have entered the second order civilization, you have moved forward in this direction, but the progress is not enough, energy and materials limit your activity space, as far as I know, you do not have the strength to immigrate to another neighboring planet, at least the cost problem has not been solved, of course, if there is no nuclear war, maybe your civilization has entered the second age.

In the third era, the mysteries of time and space, that is, mastering the mysteries of time and space, breaking through the confinement of the four-dimensional space, and having the ability to travel through time and space, this means entering the third-order civilization. Eternal life will not be a luxury in this era, and it will also be one of the most dangerous epochs, in which so many of our races will perish: some are gone, exploring the past and the future; Some people are crazy, because they are not old and immortal, they cannot find the meaning of their own existence; There are also those who have been thinking about the ultimate goal of civilization and finally leaving, and my civilization is at this stage......"

Cen Mu interrupted, "Since you are in the Third Era, how do you know what the Fourth Era is?" ”

Instinctively said helplessly: "Listen to me!" We are in the Third Age, and I am one of the plane explorers, I am committed to studying the process of various cosmic civilizations, in order to find the direction of the future, because there are no pioneers, no references, and no direction, we call the Fourth Age 'Exploration Era', it is not the end, and I don't know the end, so in fact, it is not accurate, it just represents a direction, and represents our imagination after the Third Age......"

Cen Mu asked again, "Since you are from the Third Age, why don't you use the ability to travel through time and space to return to your hometown?" ”

Instinctively smiled, even though he didn't have a body, Cen Mu could feel its smile.

"Are you thinking that if I tell the mystery of time travel, you will also have the ability to travel time and space?"

Cen Mu smiled, for a moment, he did have a similar thought.

"Do you know how strong the flow of energy is needed to break the crystal wall of space-time? Can you imagine what kind of matter can withstand such high energy without disintegrating? Do you understand the rules of space-time? Do you know how to calculate anchor coordinates? Do you know how to hook a space-time anchor? ”

Cen Mu didn't answer, and instinct didn't expect him to answer, he continued: "It's a very simple metaphor, as far as I know, your civilization has been pushed forward by 6,000 years, at that time, can your ancestors imagine what it feels like to fly in the blue sky?!" I'm afraid that they will worship it as a miracle, in an era, the gap of 6,000 years is so big, how can you imagine the gap between those levels of civilization eras?! The sage of our race said that the gap between the ages of civilization can be summarized in three aspects:

First, the worldview, the understanding of the world is the most important, it determines the rules you master, the rules are the basis for understanding the world, only by mastering the high-level rules, can you have strong creativity;

second, energy, the energy that can be controlled, determines the energy of this civilization;

Third, materials, the materials that can be made determine the carrying capacity of this civilization;

These three are the basic elements for determining the degree of civilization, and you should understand what I am trying to say.

The energy and materials needed to travel through time and space do not exist in your current world, and may not appear in another 10,000 years.

And I'm still far from my peak state back then! Maybe there is no hope in this life! ”

Instinctively a little lonely, silent for a long time.

"Tell me why I'm here."

Then, instinctively recounted what happened to him: "In the last interstellar trip, I met Meraldrod, a race at the pinnacle of second-order civilization, their branches of civilization are all over the universe, their ancestor is a creature called 'Zelotta', the meaning of their existence is to kill and destroy, I can't understand their life, and suspect that they may not be the native species, so, I began to study this race, and later, accidentally noticed by Meraljord, so, Caught in an endless wave of bugs, I didn't want to lose the current space-time anchor sequence, so I didn't dare to trigger the emergency random teleportation, and, by luck, I thought I could clean up all the bugs, and in the end, I found that with the entire alliance galaxy as a support, the bug tide is endless, unless I have the ability to destroy the entire galaxy, and finally, relying on my portable device, I made one last emergency shuttle, so I lost ......"

"I don't know what happened later, guessing that I was teleported to this planet, the energy was excessively consumed, my material body died, and the inscription inheritance program was automatically activated, as for how to become a reagent, I don't know, maybe the material entity of my inscription inheritance was swallowed by some creature, maybe it obtained part of my inheritance, how long has it been, I don't know, maybe a hundred years? A thousand years? 10,000 years? Who knows? I'm in a state of space-time loss right now. ”

Cen Mu thought for a while and asked, "You're hanging outside the crystal wall now, are you okay?" ”

Instinct said: "Positioning space-time anchors makes use of the underlying rules of the universe, and there will be no problem, you can rest assured." You have also seen that the higher my level, the more I am rejected by the world, if you are still not at ease, I can tell you the way to cut off the anchor point, so that even if we are even, we have a constraint on each other, how about it? ”

This is a very sincere proposal, Cen Mu thought about it, nodded, and said, "In this way, we can be regarded as equal." ”

Next, Cen Mu had some illustrated descriptions in his mind, cutting off the instinctive anchor link is not much of a profound mystery, there are many ways to do it, and for Cen Mu, the simplest and most direct way is to use the known space-time coordinates of the anchor point to create a space wall nearby, you can cut the anchor chain, the difficulty is to calculate the space-time coordinates.

When instinctively informed the way to cut off, he was informed of the space-time coordinates by the way, Cen Mu tried it and found that this coordinate was not wrong, which caused an instinctive exclamation.

After understanding the true form and condition of the instinct, Cen Mu had actually forgiven him, even if he didn't provide a way to cut off the anchor point, Cen Mu felt that he could no longer pursue it, they were not a level of creatures, although the high-level civilization was powerful, but because of the advanced pace, they were decoupled from the low-level plane, which may be the embodiment of the fair will of the universe, he could be an observer, and he could even exert some vicissitudes of influence, but he could never integrate, so he lost the meaning of the influence.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if one day instinct grows to the point where he can destroy the entire planet, Cen Mu doesn't care, all he can do is destroy, which is meaningless to instinct.

Cen Mu said: "Then what will I call you in the future?" Protos? ”

"Well, I like the name, it will always remind me of my origin, okay, I'm going to stop sharing vision, this state is too expensive!"

As soon as Protos finished speaking, the starlight in front of Cen Mu's eyes was far away, and in the blink of an eye, the hazy past, and the early morning of the wilderness appeared in front of him.

The east is full of fish belly white, and the pink glow fills the sky, constantly spreading to the dark blue sky in the west, and the stars in the sky are unwilling to leave, spreading the last ray of starlight towards the mangyuan, this is really a pure sky!

Cen Mu is still reminiscing about the "God's perspective" just now, to the civilization of Protos, the inheritance of knowledge does not need to be expressed in words, but can be more vivid, from his vision, Cen Mu saw the world cognition under the high-end civilization, and the comprehension of time and space has an extra layer, and unconsciously seems to have a hazy consciousness of the mystery of time, although there is no way to make the space he created "move", but the seeds have been planted, and the evolution point is enough, You can try to confirm your extra thoughts.

End of Volume II.
