Chapter 563: Right and Wrong: The Dead Planet The Continuation of the Dream......
Alert to possible danger, Xiao Lan did not go to the Federation's planet in the end.
And in order to prevent anything unnecessary, he also used the Nightmare Mirror to erase the relevant memories of the characters in the plot, and the robot Kai-Em was also physically erased from the corresponding data records.
Fortunately, the monitoring system of this research ship is not developed, and when they woke up, Jason had already made a big fuss, and the spacecraft also crashed head-on with the "solar system" artificial biosphere, and the ship's already unsound monitoring system was completely scrapped at that time, so that the Federation would not know that there were two "monsters" from two thousand years ago in this world that would use powerful supernatural powers, and it would be impossible to send people out to arrest and study in the future.
This is not a delusion of victimization, but a necessary caution.
In the absence of enough information, God knows if the Federation of this world has anything to do with Star Spirits, Jedi Knights and the like, Xiao Lan has no intention of putting herself at risk.
Although after returning to this normal timeline from the past, the power of the dream realm has been restored to a usable state, and he can now activate the portal to jump back to the previous level of "Ghost Street 7" from this world, but unfortunately this "permission" appeared after the result of this cause and effect between them and the expedition team, it is conceivable that if they are entangled in a new cause and effect, they will have to be dragged in this world...... That's definitely not a good thing.
But having said that, he didn't directly return to the upper world.
With about a day to go before the Lord God returns, he finally decided to go back to Earth—two thousand years have passed. The earth has lost its vitality and died completely, but if you don't see it with your own eyes, there will always be a gap in your heart.
If the entangled cause and effect can't be stopped, what you want to do has been held in your heart. Hope will one day turn to despair.
- So go ahead, no matter what the final outcome is.
The just-built Void Ship immediately came in handy, and after loading all the oxygen, food, and water that had not disappeared from the scrapped spaceship into the space equipment, Xiao Lan and Flora both sat in the cockpit of "Lancelot", and completed the connection with the Void Ship like a knight boarding a vehicle, and at the same time, the demon unfolded his energy wings to absorb the Void energy, and protected the entire Void Ship through the λ-drive system. Then the flight began to take place on the Earth through the star map recorded on the ship.
Faster than light, 140,000 times the speed of light to be exact.
Although the target Earth is 60 light-years away, it would take 60 years for the speed of light to travel. But it takes less than four hours to start the Void Ship of the Jump.
In the development of the interstellar age, the most critical turning point is the faster-than-light engine, without which humans can only walk around the solar system at most, because the closest galaxy to the solar system is the "Centauri α system". Proxima Centauri, located 4.22 light-years from the Sun, is the closest star to the solar system. It takes nine years to go back and forth at the speed of light, and 180 years for the third cosmic speed, and the speed of sound is ...... That can't even fly out of the atmosphere.
In the vastness of the universe, life is too small.
Incomparable longevity, incomparable vastness, incomparable boundaries.
Human civilization has only appeared in 10,000 years, primitive humans have appeared in millions of years, and primordial life has appeared in billions of years. The solar system was born 4.6 billion years ago, and the age of the universe is estimated to be about 13.82 billion years according to the Big Bang model of the universe. Compared with them, human life is only a moment, and even the heroes who have been brilliant in their own time are only short-lived......
After truly seeing this boundless universe, the so-called man will conquer the sky is just a joke.
Even if he can jump into the previous interface like Xiao Lan, he is only an observer and not a controller, and he can't interfere without entering the world, if he builds the world in the nightmare mirror, it is indeed possible, but even if it is Freddy, who has jumped out of this "box", he has not become an omniscient and all-powerful God in this world, he is only a transcendent and not a creator who can negate everything.
It was in this contemplation that the Void Ship crossed the vast cosmic void, saw the black hole that even the light engulfed, saw the brilliant nebula, saw the supernova that emitted the last swan song, and finally reached the destination of the earth as the starting point of everything.
This is no longer the water-blue life planet in memory, now it is the same as Mars in the adjacent orbit, the water that once occupied most of the earth's surface has disappeared, the green covered by vegetation has been completely replaced by the red desert desert, the surface sand dunes and gravel are all over, the oxygen in the thin and cold atmosphere is exhausted, and the same red sand and dust is suspended in it and rolls up blood-colored dust storms, most of the buildings left by the former civilization have been eroded, only the mountains and islands can barely see a little of the original outline, Vitality is completely dissipated.
And when Flora and Xiao Lan stepped down from the Void Ship and stepped on the land where Britain was originally located, the female knight's gaze was suddenly a little confused.
"It's no longer a thing......
Neither of them was wearing an obstructive spacesuit, Xiao Lan was not affected by the harsh environment around him at all, and if he didn't need to breathe if he didn't have psychological needs after obtaining the fruit of life, Flora would not have been so high, but Pandora had built a just right life support system around her, resisting the poisonous dust storm from the outside world and supplying oxygen, and then the two of them walked quietly on this wasteland, trying to find a trace that could be remembered.
But unfortunately, 2,000 years is too long.
If it hadn't become a wasteland, there might have been some hope, but now...... It's no longer possible.
And it's not just the scenery, you can't feel any breath of life here, the sea of life that is the origin of the planet has been depleted, and the soul of the planet's mindful body "Gaia" has also completely disappeared, and only the endless curse left by the completely dead planet is left here, in this case, even if there is a soul that is beyond life and death, it is impossible to continue to live. Two thousand years ago, even if the soul stone was still preserved and had not been destroyed or taken away, it would have been twisted into an extreme evil spirit in this environment.
However, the evil spirit did not appear.
In a situation where even the sea of life has dried up. The basis for them to show up is no longer there.
And it was looking at this barren landscape, looking at this world where only resentment and curse remained, Xiao Lan suddenly thought of something in the dark.
"This is the real Last Judgment, but alas...... There can be no new life anymore. In a tone that bordered on emotion, he muttered to himself.
His voice was soft and ethereal, but it was still heard by Flora, who was nearby.
The female knight was suddenly shocked, and then lowered her head a little weakly. The light in his eyes dimmed, "Indeed, we have worked hard to defeat the Necromantic King. Gave the world a chance to survive, but after just two thousand years, they actually killed the planet......"
"If we had failed at that time, and had been reborn after a tragic death, perhaps this planet would have survived for a long, long time. There will be grief, but there will be no loss of life, right? ”
muttered self-deprecatingly. From the depths of the soul there is sentimentality.
Are they wrong?
There's nothing wrong with that.
The preciousness of life lies in hard work, and they can do whatever it takes to survive, and their brave battles and sacrifices have definitely been rewarded.
But is that right?
…… I don't know.
They defeated the will to die with their will to live, but perhaps it was that "infighting" war that consumed too much planetary origin power, so that when the world was devastated and needed to destroy human civilization and usher in a new life, instead of destroying human beings, they completely lost their lives and even had no chance of rebirth.
There is no wrong choice, I don't know if it is the right outcome, the world ...... It's so cruel.
And it is with this depth of awe. Xiao Lan gently opened the portal that left and pulled Flora, who also looked solemn, back to the upper interface-the real world. Or the world of "Ghost Street 7".
- Here, they are just outsiders.
Stepping out of their dream world and returning to the ward, screenwriter Wes, who had come to visit him as usual, heard an incredible voice.
"Wes ......"
Probably unconscious until then, the man lying on the hospital bed called his name.
"Evans!? Are you awake......!? ”
“…… Kindness. Had a dream. ”
Hazy voice.
But the voice was very--very warm to his ears.
"Dreams, ......?"
Like an inquiring voice, Wes resisted his excitement.
Because the patient's consciousness is not yet complete, if he does not ask this question, he may fall into the darkness again.
But the situation is not so bad, the patient's spirit is getting better and better, although the feeling is still a little blurry, "Well, a long dream." Nothing I have ever seen, a valuable experience......"
And not just him, Caroline on the other side—she also opened her eyes.
"Is it really a dream, ......?"
When the doctors and nurses began to rush up and down, doing tests and informing relevant people, her eyes were only fixed on the empty void.
There, where the human eye could not see, and where machines could not catch either, she saw.
Smile and float away, the knight who appeared in the dream, the hero who saved the world......
Far from this world, their story will continue.
-- That's the end.
The warmth in my heart, the moist droplets falling from the corners of my eyes, everything announced the reality of this dream.
Legend has it that if you have a strong longing, a dream is something that you can see even after waking up. It's not a different dream, but just close your eyes and you see the same thing......
So she closed her eyes softly and whispered her prayer.
"--I'd love to see your future."
The whispering voice rides the wind.
Falling into the distance, it is like sinking into the endless blue.
"The Continuation of Dreams......" (To be continued......)
