Two hundred years of history cannot be explained in a few words, especially since the survivors of this planet have not only forgotten the language of the human union, but even the written word has been lost.

However, to Night's surprise, even though these foresters are quasi-"illiterate", they still record their culture and history in their own way.

It was a series of cracks engraved into the roots of the sacred tree, and those angular lines crawled all over the walls of the entire "temple".

It's like a mural.

At first, Yashi thought that the lines were naturally formed, until he saw with his own eyes that the angular lines slowly grew with his own arrival.

It seemed to be happening at the same time, and it was hard to tell which came first.

Like the visions he encountered in the hyperspace tunnels......

"The sacred tree is the tree of Insof, the mother of all things. His roots are all over the forest, all over the world, and all that make up our world...... And the sacred tree above us at this moment is only the part of Him that is exposed, or a cluster of shoots that emerge from the soil. ”

Dora spoke in a soft voice about the sacred tree.

Ye Shi was surprised to find that as she continued to communicate with her, her level of human language was improving at an incredible rate, even more amazing than that of the old man named Sakuy.

If there is a distinction between levels of "psionic energy", that old man is about level 10, and she is at least level 30.

Of course, it may be because young people learn things faster.

"I kind of understand...... If we compare Him to a higher dimensional being, the sacred tree we see is only one of His projections in the three-dimensional world, and there are other parts in the dimension that we can't see, does that mean? ”

Dora was stunned for a moment, not seeming to understand at first, but she quickly reacted, smiling and nodding slightly.

"That's the initial explanation."

Night Ten wondered.

"The original explanation?"

Dora nodded lightly and said in a quiet voice.

"Dimension is an old word for us. That's what you or your people taught us a long, long time ago...... How to understand the existence of the Tree of Insof, how to call Him, how to feed Him, and then become His branches. ”

Ye Shizhi understood what she meant.

In other words, those who survived the Twin missile cruisers or colonies discovered the existence of the "Tree of Insov" in the period after the end of the three-year war, mastered the ability to communicate with it, explained it with the physical theory of the Human Union, and then passed on the chewed knowledge to their descendants.

What is puzzling, however, is why they did not use Gaia's name, but instead invented a separate proper noun to distinguish it from the original name.

Are they trying to show that Gaia is dead?

Or did He evolve into something else?

Or, the People's Federation's initial perception of Gaia was biased, and they tinkered with the original theory.

Seeing that the Ancestor did not speak, Dora set her eyes on the wall in front of her that was made of the roots of the trees.

The fireflies floating around her seemed to be pulled by an unknown force, and flew forward slowly.

They clumped together in the air, like an index finger resting on the page, frozen in the first line of the article.

"We found a new way of life in the long years, and then we went back to the forest and started over. After the Second Judgment, we use the growth patterns at the roots of the sacred tree to record the teachings of the sacred tree and what happened in the past. ”

Second Judgment Day?

Ye Shi's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked puzzled.

"Doesn't this abstract pattern lead to a bias in the recording of information?"

"No," Dora shook her head, continuing in a gentle tone, "symbols are just forms, and we can connect with the past through invisible bonds. ”

Hearing this, Ye Shi was completely shocked.

Boy.

It was a coincidence that he established contact with the crew of the USS Orion missile cruiser, which was also in the hyperspace channel, in the hyperspace channel.

As a result, these people are born with this ability?

That's not right.

If we could establish a connection with the past, move the technology of future research to the past, and then act on the future in reverse, wouldn't it be possible to step on the left foot and step on the right foot to go to the sky?

However, this was clearly not the case with what he saw.

At least according to the Doma tribe's own description, the technical skills of these foresters are far inferior to that of the "valley people" next door.

As if recognizing the confusion on Yashi's face, Dora continued in a soft voice.

"The information that can be conveyed is limited, it has to be the same things to believe, the same confusion, and the same questions to be pondered. Therefore, when this connection is established between different time and space, the information we receive from the past tends to be more concrete, and the revelation we receive from the future tends to be more abstract. ”

As the communication progressed, she seemed to understand more and more languages, and was even able to speak some concepts that Ye Shi herself didn't fully understand.

After listening to her statement, Ye Shi said with a heartfelt appreciation.

"Even that's pretty impressive."

Receiving the Ancestor's affirmation, Dora's face appeared with a happy smile, and she continued in a happy voice.

"These are the patterns that we have discovered since you left...... As you can see, we didn't stop exploring. ”

Ye Ten nodded and continued to ask.

"Is this a special function of the Doma tribe? Or is it ...... All of them? ”

"This is true of all the tribes of the forest," Dora said in a soft voice, "and although we have not yet found a way to awaken this ability to everyone, as long as we live under the sacred tree, people with similar abilities will continue to emerge from our race. Fifteen or sixteen, forty or fifty, and I was one of them. ”

Night Ten suddenly realized that his initial impression of them was inaccurate.

He had thought that the emergence of those special functions hindered their understanding of the universe in which they lived, but now it seemed that the truth seemed to be diametrically opposite-

Instead of being obscured by their invisible hands, they saw farther because they stood on the shoulders of giants, and even came into contact with that part of the universe that they did not fully understand even in the era of prosperity of the Human Federation.

Accelerate the growth of plants by communicating with them, reclaim lost technology by communicating with the past, or even connect with parallel time and space to gain enlightenment from the future...... These guys are actually even more awesome than he imagined!

It's just that the starting point is a lot lower.

Admittedly, this "convenient ability" hindered their discoveries in the natural sciences.

However, once they have established a relatively mature scientific research system through years of observation of nature, this kind of perceptual enhancement will become a catalyst to accelerate their scientific and technological breakthroughs, and make those "flash of inspiration" under coincidence appear more frequently.

And not even just in the field of science.

Political, economic, cultural, military, industrial...... and so on, this ability has the potential to be a catalyst.

This talent is simply amazing, okay!

The more Ye Shi thought about it, the more shocked he became, and even had the thought of "this son must not stay", but suddenly came back to his senses.

Speaking of jumping out of the setting and framework of the game itself, isn't the "player" a similar existence?

In fact, the presence of the player has indeed promoted the prosperity of the alliance in a series of fields such as science, politics, economy, culture, military, etc., and it is an explosive push!

Under the influence of these "players", the alliance has achieved development results that other survivor forces may not have been able to achieve in more than a decade or even decades in just a few years.

Realizing this, Yashi was completely shocked.

Boy.

It's me who hangs the explosion?!

Dora looked at the Ancestor who was suddenly silent with a puzzled expression, and blinked curiously at the pair of talking eyes.

This guy is always like that.

Suddenly there is no sound as he speaks, or he stands there alone, not knowing who he is communicating with.

However, she didn't wait long, and soon the ancestor standing in front of the "fresco" of the temple came back to his senses, looked at her sincerely, and said.

"Thank you...... This information is important to us. ”

"We have always kept your teachings in mind, and we have never slackened our communication with the sacred tree." Dora bowed her head respectfully, a happy smile on her face.

In the time that followed, Night Ten asked many more questions.

In particular, it is about the origin of the tribes of the forest, the grievances of the forest tribes and the valley tribes, the so-called "sinners", and what exactly is meant by "from heaven".

And for these trivial inquiries, the temple maid named Dora also patiently answered them one by one.

According to her, the people who live on this land are children who have survived by the grace of the tree of Insov.

And before that, the so-called "Old Era", this planet once belonged to the "ancestors" from the sky.

At that time, people of all colors of skin, different beliefs, spoke almost the same language of the old era, and lived in paradise that is unimaginable today......

Until the first "Day of Judgment" came, countless scorching suns fell from the sky, turning the prosperous surface world into charcoal, completely destroying everything in the old era, and only a few young children survived the entire land.

Just when the world was in despair, the branches of the Tree of Insov emerged from the soil and stretched the first shoots into the gray sky.

No one knows where He came from, or maybe He has always been there and lived right under people's feet.

It's just that He had been asleep for so long that he had forgotten the concept of time, and was only recently awakened.

In the face of a declining world, the merciful He sent down miracles and gave the believers green skin, so that they could bathe in the sun and get food and clothing, and survive those years without food.

And that's not all.

By His miracles, the dead world began to revive gradually, and in just two decades, the entire planet was transformed from an endless wasteland into a forest.

A new era has begun.

Those who survived the Day of Judgment for some reason forgot everything about the past, including the writings and history of the old era.

Even this memory of the day of judgment and the "First Ancestor" comes from the account of the Tree of Insov.

Of course, these are things that happened later.

People who have just entered the new era are not yet aware of the existence of the "Insov Tree", and although the people who have changed their skin have survived, they are more like animals.

It is for this reason that Dora calls this initial period the "Age of the Savages".

At that time, people were like wild beasts, and the only difference between them and primitive animals was that their calls were more special.

When he heard this, Ye Shi couldn't help but sweat from his back.

It can be seen that these guys don't remember the Three Years' War or the events before the Three-Year War at all, so much so that they still have a layer of worship for their "ancestors".

If they knew that the so-called "Day of Judgment" was actually a neutron plume shot by the Red-Eyed Men and the Aerospace Forces, I wonder if they would still look at their compatriots on Earth with adoring eyes like they do now.

But on the other hand, at this moment, Night Ten can almost confirm that these "little green men" are earthlings.

The "Insov Tree" probably changed their genes, and it is suspected that they gained photosynthesis or similar abilities, so that they survived the most difficult years.

But then again, is photosynthesis really something that humans can do?!

On Earth, he had only heard of some nudibranchs capable of photosynthesis, such as certain nudibranchs...... However, even the sea slugs do so with the help of algae cells, and they do not do it entirely on their own.

However, these little green people obviously do not photosynthesize entirely on their own, they also need to eat.

Ye Shi suddenly wanted to borrow some DNA from the girl in front of him and go back to study.

Nothing else.

Purely out of curiosity.

Not knowing what strange things the Ancestor in front of her was thinking, Dora looked at Yeten and continued.

"In the third decade of the Wild Age, the fiftieth year of the Savage Age, we met the Ancestor again. They appeared out of nowhere, seventeen men in all, wearing the same armor as you and speaking the same language as you. ”

"They helped us a lot, taught us how to make fires, taught us to hunt, and most importantly, ...... With their help, we realized that we were different from all things and ignited ...... The spark of civilization, and the discovery of the existence of the Tree of Insov. ”

"They helped you find the Tree of Insof?" Ye Shi looked at her in surprise, a little confused by this message.

These seventeen people should be the crew of the Twins?

The crew of the Orion is dead, and it's a sure thing, it could only be a living person on the other side.

If he remembered correctly, the crew of the missile cruiser USS Twin should be "ultra-conservatives", and these people would actually take the initiative to help this group of survivors living on the surface to ask for help from the existence of the suspected "Gaia"?

It's really the sun coming out in the west.

Of course, it is not ruled out that things are not as absolute as he thinks, and perhaps not everyone on the Twin missile cruisers is extremely conservative.

What's more, they called their discovery on this planet the "Tree of Insov", probably because they had already recognized the difference between him and Gaia.

Or maybe they just want to use the power of the "Tree of Insov" to pull these compatriots, who are almost turning into monkeys, off the tree.

But then again, Ye Shi didn't expect that these seventeen surviving crew members would float in the sky for thirty years before they landed.

He and Jiang Xuezhou had always thought that the "Twin Fall" and the "Orion Incident" happened at the same time, or even at the same time.

Feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of history, Ye Shi couldn't help but ask.

"And then?"

Dora continued.

"Then, with the help of the Tree of Insov, we got to know each other, and with their help, we gradually mastered the way to communicate with the Tree of Insóf and everything else in the world, perfecting our own language."

"That was the first time we realized that we existed, and that we had a place in the world...... In your words, we have walked in just ten years what would have taken thousands of years, and we call that period the Age of Awakening. ”

The Age of Awakening is ok.

Night Ten thought she would use the phrase "Age of Prosperity".

Facing the rows of angular growth lines on the wall, Dora's eyes floated with nostalgia.

Those psychic eyes seem to have really returned to that era, the "era of prosperity" that belongs to the people living in this land.

"It was a wonderful time, we were living in the Forbidden Forest, and everybody lived there. It was also at that time that the Tree of Insov told us that we came from a certain star in the sky, where our ancestors lived. We had a quarrel over something that led to Judgment Day, but the future is bright, and sooner or later we will meet again. ”

"But it didn't last long...... In the second decade of the Age of Awakening, our first parents had a serious disagreement, and this disagreement eventually led to the prophesied Judgment Day coming again. ”

At this point, Dora's face showed a hint of sadness, and she sighed softly and continued.

"Some of the Ancestors left the Valley of the Forbidden Forest and went deep into the forest, and the rest of the Ancestors still live with us. Shortly after this, the burning palace fell from the sky, destroying the sacred tree in the valley of the Forbidden Forest, the branch of the Tree of Insov left on the surface. ”

"Our doom began, the forest was ablaze, the flames engulfed everything, thousands of people died in the flames, and only a few survived...... And those who had left the Forbidden Forest returned with weapons, snatched the Holy Land from us, and imprisoned, sacrificed, and banished the rest of us. ”

"Fortunately, it was only the shoots of the Tree of Insov that were burned, and his children had already foreseen the dangers of the future through the fog of time, and we had left the Valley of the Forbidden Forest to establish a new home in the wider forest."

"On the other hand, the holy places that the sinners have taken from us have become the cages in which they are imprisoned. Without the protection of the sacred tree, they could not move an inch in the forest, and everything in the forest was their enemy. In order to survive, they can only compete with birds and beasts for the seeds of wild grasses, and hide in the cold stones to survive......"

Hearing this, Ye Shi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"You don't hate us?"

"Why should we hate you?"

Dora looked at Night Eleven suspiciously, and continued in a gentle voice.

"Without you, we would never have realized the difference between ourselves and the beasts, let alone live in prosperity and abundance as we do today. And the Tree of Insov has reminded us more than once that we should learn from the memories of the past, rather than allow the disasters that have already happened to happen again. ”

Looking at Dora in a daze, Ye Shi suddenly felt a trace of shame in his heart, and he didn't know how to face that simple look for a while.

Maybe Jiang Xuezhou is right.

He did mess things up.

There was a better choice in front of him, but he didn't hesitate to choose the worst.

Even if it seemed to him that all he was doing was turning a blind eye.

In his subconscious, he only wanted to inherit the almost infinite power of the era of the United Nations, but subconsciously forgot that the comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side with him had not only handed over to him the "ship key" of the Orion missile cruiser, but also the responsibilities they had shouldered.

They trusted him to get the starship into his hands.

Thankfully, it wasn't too late for him to realize it.

There is still a chance for remedy.

“…… I may have done something bad. Ye Shi took a deep breath, looked at the confused Dora, and said in a serious tone, "Do you have a way to get in touch with those sinners in the valley?" ”

Dora was stunned and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"And the sinners...... Get in touch? Why? ”

She couldn't understand it.

If the Ancestors had already chosen them, why bother looking for their enemies.

"I want to talk to them."

Looking at the face full of confusion, Ye Shi said sincerely.

"Perhaps, I can help you get rid of these 200 years of grudges, so that the whole thing can end in a more successful way-"

In fact, there are many ways.

Especially as the "ancestor".

After a while, he coaxed Jiang Xuezhou, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and asked her to cooperate with him to play the god stick again.

Believe in her kindness, and you will definitely not refuse!

Dora looked at him blankly, her lips moving to say something.

However, at this moment, a respectful and majestic voice suddenly floated from behind the two of them.

"It's too late, honorable Ancestor, we have nothing to talk about with the sinners."

"You want to disobey my will?" Ye Shi's face fell, and he cheekily said this sentence that even he thought was the second in class.

However, the line of the second explosion in this sentence seems to have had a slight effect.

In front of the "mortals", the "gods" are really still a little powerful.

Even if this mortal is not an ordinary mortal.

Standing at the entrance of the temple, Tunan was silent for a while, then slowly opened his mouth and continued.

"I dare not disobey your will, but for the sake of your children's future...... Please also get some sleep. ”

Hehe.

It's better to say than to sing.

Ye Shi sneered, his right hand was already on his waist, and he pulled out his pistol.

This guy is a toast and doesn't eat and drink.

Admit that there is something about these guys, such as the spear with green crystals, such as the godlike "psychic ability".

But to rely on this trick to deal with his "spear and cannon" is still a bit of a fool's dream.

Of course, he didn't think about what to do with that "little Ah Guang", and he didn't think about clicking that guy, but he still had to get some color to see.

Brother Guang rode him on the neck, he recognized you, and your special mother is also worthy?

However, just when Ye Shi was thinking about this in his heart, he heard Jiujiu's voice coming through the door.

"Brother, I ate your takeaway!"

"Truly...... Anyway, I can't hear it, so I'll leave you a chicken bone. ”

As soon as his head sank, Ye Shi's face changed suddenly, but the icon of [Abnormal Connection] had already appeared in front of him.

"it?!"

Dropped?!

Don't bring such fun, do you!?
