ACT562: The Observer
The Gendayans were once organic like humans, and were even related to their ancestors, just as humans and other primates do today. There is no guarantee that the monkeys in the zoo will not evolve into a new intelligent race in the future, and when the time comes, they will look back at humans, and perhaps they will look up to the Gendaya people in the same way that humans look up to the Gendayans today.
But Zhao Jian knew from a long time ago that in the process of transforming into energy life, the ancient people were too troublesome to dislike the old way of reproduction, so they piggybacked on the sex. After that, the birth of children in this race was all made up by the brain, and the reproduction of the sexes was already a very old memory for them.
And although Old Freeman has DIY a "physical body" that can be fake, his basic structure is still an ordinary human being, which is not the same as a fusion individual like Zhao Jian.
The other party is well aware of the process of making a special case like his, but as a hardcore "human faction", that kind of sacrificing behavior is deeply ashamed by old Freeman. However, the physiological structure of Zhao Jian's fusion individual, he is still very interested ♂!
But the old Freeman is interested, which does not mean that Zhao Jian is willing to cooperate. As long as it is a man with a normal personality orientation, when he is asked by the same sex to observe a "little friend", he will instinctively want to refuse.
"Hey! Uncle, I'm not good at that! ”
"Don't be embarrassed! I just wondered, is fusion individuals really immune to the kind of backlash that occurs when interracial mating? Judging by your reaction, I think I've already done it, right? ”
"Uh...... Yes. Zhao Jian replied stiffly.
"What about humans? Do you have? ”
"Also...... Yes, there was no problem. ”
"Oooh! Awesome, awesome! Did you give birth to a child? ”
“…… Uncle, is it really good for you to gossip like this? ”
"Little friend, you may not realize it now, but your body may become a template for the next stage of human evolution, and this path is the one that we Gendaya people did not choose back then."
As if recalling a long past, old Freeman's expression showed a hint of sadness.
"I'm a Gendaya, you should know that. But you certainly don't know, I was also the first pioneer of the entire race to receive energy transformation back then. The process of transformation from organic life to energy life may seem to humans to be reborn from a mortal into a god, with eternal lifespan, immortal body, and collective wisdom that can be shared, and mutual understanding between people in the true sense of the word, and any dispute will reach a consensus at the moment when the consciousness of both sides meets. ”
"Feeling...... It's supposed to be a utopian world. ”
"Yes, we felt that way at the beginning, and there are no more divisions in society as a whole. The wisdom of the union has brought technology to a new peak. But over time, problems arose. ”
"Do you mean suicidal?"
"The disaster can only be described as a consequence, and we survivors tried to investigate it afterwards, but the cause we found was extremely sad, which is the common will of the entire Gendaya society."
"A common will?"
"After the Gendaya people have all been transformed into energy beings, not only knowledge, but also thoughts and self-consciousness have been counted by us, and naturally they can be shared. At first, everyone just thought it was funny, and then it just got out of control. Imagine a world where billions of people are like one person, where the existence of the self is gradually integrated by the whole group, and by the time it reacts, it is already too late. ”
"So you mean. Is suicide a big outbreak of negativity for an entire ethnic group? ”
"Almost, in fact, in the last few thousand years, the Gendaya have reached a bottleneck, even the limit. We are losing sight of where we are going. Beginning to hesitate and do nothing, this confusion naturally spread throughout the entire ethnic group with the spiritual network, and finally ...... You know. ”
Listened to the old Freeman's story. A lifeless world came to Zhao Jian's mind. This repressive society is already prone to high suicide rates, and coupled with the spread of the medium provided by the spiritual network, it is only natural that tragedy occurs.
"Many times I have wondered why the Gendaya people are so fascinated by human beings, not only because of their likable appearance, but also because of your short but brilliant life, which comforts us souls who have lost our feelings. When I was still flesh and blood, I also loved once! ”
When old Freeman said this, his eyes were full of incomprehensible complexity, including nostalgia, sadness, and loss, which was a comprehension that Zhao Jian's experience could not understand. But from the other party, Zhao Jian clearly saw the epitome of Gendaya society at its peak.
"I have been in human society for thousands of years, and to be honest, I see the shadow of the Gendaya in you. Just like the war, the Gendaya people also fought it back then, and they fought it even more fiercely. War itself will never be right, but it can make one understand the value of peace. ”
"Uh...... As far as I know, you didn't just fight fiercer back then, right? ”
According to Zhao Jian's understanding from the Star Castle database, there have been as many as 33 world wars in the history of Gendaya, and the entire race has faced the crisis of extinction 17 times because of this, until the arrival of the Energy Age.
The last and largest world war encompassed 17 super-large galaxies, and the final battle left an indelible wound on the M87 nebula...... One of the largest black holes ever observed.
In comparison, the war that mankind is fighting at this moment is even inferior to pediatrics!
This is why old Freeman can have a positive attitude towards human warfare, because it is more effective to teach a young man to cherish life, and to tell him about the beauty of life ten thousand times, than to lead him to see a cold dead man.
After talking about a dusty old history, the elder Freeman confessed that he did not choose to sleep or end himself like the other survivors, because he regained his curiosity after seeing humans.
He was curious about what kind of feasibility the human race could deduce, whether it would repeat the mistakes of the Gendayans or embark on a new path, and the appearance of Zhao Jian made his eyes shine.
In the past Gendaya society, the sacrificial possession of organic organisms was a forbidden technology, invented by a group of depraved elements at the end of history. The sprout of the seized body will be wiped out by irreparable souls, and what Zhao Jian encountered at the beginning was such a strange thing.
However, in the process, the ancients themselves were not safe. In order to fuse organic creatures, the caster must first materialize himself, which would make the energy body of the ancients, who was theoretically completely immune to physical damage, become as fragile as glass, so that the neck was broken by a Colt pistol.
But the other party's mistake also created a miracle on Zhao Jian's body, an organic creature with energy attributes, and magically with cross-attribute reproductive ability. When Old Freeman saw Zhao Jian, he was as ecstatic as Yuan Da Druid in another time and space when he found that famous wild rice! (To be continued......)
PS: If you want to see the plot of sex transfer, it's still provincial, Yuan Da Druid is engaged in hybrid rice, but it is not said that it is a human-rice hybrid!
