After that, another three days passed.

Just as the leader of Doma City, Thonnan, went from having only one breath left to half a breath left, Night Ten finally left the temple and ended the long retreat.

As for why I stayed for three more days, there was actually no special reason.

Mainly to transplant his findings on the frescoes, as well as the frescoes themselves, to the forum.

It's easy to say, but it's a bit of a hassle to do.

So much so that Ye Shi felt that his memory and concentration in reality had improved a lot, and he even suspected that he had awakened some special function in reality.

It's a pity, though.

Perhaps because the real earth is in the "age of the end of the law", or perhaps because there is a relic of a pioneer civilization, the telepathic ability does not appear in his real world body.

But to be honest, when updating posts, Night Ten always can't help but wonder if something similar actually exists in reality.

For example, fortune telling, feng shui, divination, and even tarot cards, etc., these "numerology" with the nature of folk culture, will it actually be a primary manifestation of spiritual energy?

Just as the Domas observe the future through the void by praying to the "Tree of Insov".

Although they do not properly understand the essence of the Tree of Insov, because they have reverently repeated the same thing from generation to generation, both in the past and in the future, they have inadvertently resonated with future generations around the indescribable existence of the "Tree of Insov" and thus met their own future.

In terms of results alone, although they have always sought their own advice, it is no different from the advice of the "Insov Tree".

The existential and elusive being only plays the role of a "ladder", and standing on the ladder they eventually see a part of the future, even if the future they see is abstract.

And this prophecy about the future was finally fulfilled.

Night Ten doesn't know how to summarize these findings with scientific theories, and perhaps the Coalition should send professional social science researchers to live in orbit on the planet Gaia to observe the activities of civilization on the surface.

Maybe it's just his opinion.

But he always wondered if it might be more useful than colonizing the planet directly.

The universe is big.

They don't need to cling to the star of South Gate II, there is a wider world waiting for them to explore.

For example, other remnants of pioneer civilizations left in this universe, such as other new civilizations that have just come out of their infancy like humans.

In short, after the events of the Orion and the Twins, Night Ten is still undoubted that he is still a staunch materialist,

It's just that his cognition is no longer the same as before, as absolute as a child.

After all, he saw it with his own eyes.

The real world is not black and white......

Updating all the findings on the forum, Night Ten finally walked out of the temple.

And when he went outside, he found that countless forest people were prostrate on the ground, bowing in his direction.

It's not just the natives of Doma who are there.

There are also inhabitants of other tribes in the forest.

They looked solemn and religious, prostrate themselves under the roots of the sacred tree, bathed in the golden light of the shower.

It wasn't until this that Night Ten noticed that the flying fireflies had turned the sacred tree into a shining golden yellow.

A group of topless temple guards walked in.

They carried a rattan woven stretcher, covered with broad leaves and hay, on which lay a burly body.

This body once belonged to a king of infinite power and power.

He was once the strongest of the forest, and both the ferocious beasts and the most warlike tribes submitted to his feet.

However, now he has come to the end of his life, like a rotten log, and can no longer even walk on his own feet.

Ye Shi looked at him with pity, and there was no trace of hatred in his heart, nor was there any schadenfreude or revenge.

One cannot expect the monkey in the tree to know the same manners and shame as man, he just does what he will do.

And his end has long been written in the prophecy, everything is as if it was agreed.

"I confess to you...... I beseech you to forgive me and my people for their sins. Tunnan looked at him with a repentant gaze, trying to lift the hand that could no longer be lifted.

Yajuchi reached out and took his hand, and said in a kind tone that he had never used before.

"I forgive you."

That sentence seemed to forgive him of all his sins.

Tunnan's eyes floated with a hint of gratitude, and he finally swallowed the last breath in his throat and closed those tired eyes.

It's actually easy to save him.

You don't even need too high-end technology, just a shot of penicillin.

Ten didn't do so, and the man on the stretcher didn't plead with him.

Looking at the deceased leader, the temple guard carrying the stretcher knelt on one knee and read a eulogy in his mouth to bid farewell to the departed soul.

"With cremation."

Ye Shi looked at the temple guard led by him and said only one sentence, and then said no more.

The priest named Saquay became the new chief.

It is said that when Tunnan was dying, he gave him the position of leader.

Interestingly, after the rout of the Senate, the Qiu people got a leader to lead them out of the wilderness.

And after experiencing the fiasco of the eastern mountains and the death of Tunnan, the forest tribes instead picked up the senate system thrown down by the Qiu people, and the germ of a classical republic that had never existed in the forest appeared!

War has not only brought them destruction, but also things that they have never had.

Maybe that's what he called "fun......

These things that happened outside the temple were told to him by Dora telepathically during the retreat.

He didn't really cut off all contact with the outside world.

After all, Jiang Xuezhou was still waiting for him in the synchronous orbit, and he had to let someone report his safety.

Seeing that Tunnan, who had closed his eyes and rested in peace, was carried down, Sakui stepped forward with trembling steps, knelt respectfully in front of Ye Shi, and said in a solemn voice.

"Supreme Ancestor, I implore you to give your children a revelation......"

He lowered his posture very low.

It's like a child who makes a mistake facing his strict father.

Night Ten looked him in the eye and spoke in a gentle tone that he had never used before.

"Engraving your history in the roots of the tree, in the slabs of stone, in the dirt, in every place you can see...... Forever pass on what happened in this land. ”

"You don't need our advice, you need to face your heart."

Sakuy had a stunned look on his face, as if he had realized something.

He bowed his head respectfully, thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and then got up with the help of the temple guards and walked to his people.

The era of Tunnan is over.

A new era has begun.

Looking at Sakuy, who walked in front of all the little green men and made an impassioned speech, the corners of Yeten's mouth curled up with a smile of relief.

Just as he was about to leave, a silver-white drone suddenly floated up to him and slammed into his shoulder.

"What the hell are you doing! Do you know how worried I am? An anxious voice floated out from under the drone, and it could be seen that Jiang Xuezhou was indeed worried.

"Didn't I tell you that I was safe," Yashi rubbed his shoulder and said in a complaint, "And don't say you didn't think about it in your heart, 'It's good to let this guy suffer a little'." ”

"Hmm-"

This sentence obviously choked Jiang Xuezhou, obviously she did think so.

A group of natives can trap him, but it's impossible to put his life in danger.

After all, the parts on that guy's body were all her own, and she knew his skills too well.

“…… It always feels like you're a different person. The drone in the air shook, and a small muttered came out of the speaker.

Ye Shi involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a faint smile.

"Is there one? Perhaps...... You may not believe it, but I have awakened my psionic powers. ”

"Really?" The drone's camera was pointed at him, and the voice was full of suspicious surprise.

"Really," Night Eleven said with a serious face, "I won't believe it in a moment, I'll go back and show you a hand." ”

"It's okay to show your hand...... But you don't have to mess around. Jiang Xuezhou's voice suddenly twisted.

Night Ten made a helpless expression.

It's okay to mess around......

How else can he mess around.

What nonsense.

"Let's get down to business, I have an idea."

I always feel weird to hear the word serious from this guy's mouth.

However, Jiang Xuezhou still asked suspiciously.

“…… What's the idea? ”

Night Ten paused for a moment and said what he thought.

"I found something interesting in the temple of the Domas. All kinds of clues show that before the birth of our civilization, when our home planet was a dead planet...... There is also a far more advanced civilization in this universe than we are, which I will call a 'pioneer' civilization. ”

"I'll write it down for you when I get back to the starship...... I want to wait until all this is over to find the remnants of that pioneer civilization. ”

"It's going to be a long journey, and I'm not sure when it's going to end...... Maybe it will never even end, and we may go on and on this path until the end of the universe. ”

"You...... Would you like to stay with me? ”

Those ruins should be much more interesting than the ruins in the wasteland, and they are probably worth so much more than the latter.

He felt that the esteemed administrators would support his idea, and perhaps sponsor him with a ship.

The more he learned about his existence, the more he couldn't restrain his curiosity about him, and his curiosity about the game.

Is this really just a game?

He thought of the rumor that had been circulating on the Internet for a long time.

Wasteland Online is not just a game, but a gift from a high civilization to humanity.

The end of the Wasteland Era is only the main line on the surface, and in the deep code, there is actually a dark line buried under the bright line-

That is the exploration of the nature of the world.

Or rather, explore clues about the Creator.

There is a hunch in the darkness of the night, not only the world of "Wasteland Online" has a creator, but the real world also has a similar existence.

Whether it is "Night Ten" or "Ye Wei", they are actually characters in a certain movie or a certain novel.

Just as he looked down on Thonnan, a pair or pairs of invisible eyes were looking through the all-pervasive window of vision, looking down on the echoes of him and "Him" in this universe.

There was silence on the other end of the communication channel for a few moments, and then an excited and even choked answer came.

"I'm willing to ......"

"I am willing to accompany you to the end of the universe!"

She didn't know what the "pioneer" was, and she was even more confused about Yashi's adventures in the temple, only that he seemed to have successfully spoken to an unspeakable being through the strange "ghost drawings" on the wall, just like that Dora.

It was indeed a very interesting research material, and it was not sure that she could take her career to the next level, upgrade from C-level to B-level, and become an equal existence to her former mentor!

But for her, those things don't matter anymore......

The sentence just now was the most romantic and affectionate confession she had ever heard in her life.

Listening to the answer on the other end of the communication channel, a sunny smile appeared on Ye Shi's face.

Originally, he was going to apologize to her, but now it seems that the anger in her heart has disappeared......

Not just yourself.

She has matured.

Glancing at the forest people who had returned to their own historical tracks, Night Ten was ready to leave here.

At this moment, Dora, who had been waiting at the door of the temple, suddenly knelt down in front of him and said in a pleading voice.

"Honorable Ancestor...... Please take me to heaven. ”

She felt like he was leaving.

And this walk, I don't know how many centuries.

Living on earth, they may never meet these ancestors again.

Looking at that pious face, Yashi somehow thought of the fool that "He" had mentioned.

That fool is probably Dr. Qiu Shiye, and if you think about it, it can only be that guy.

He longed for Him to take him to heaven, only to find that the heavenly world was completely different from what he had imagined.

Ye Shi thought for a moment, looked at her and said.

"Heaven is just another earth, it's not the heaven you imagined...... If you make the exploration of the spiritual world your life's pursuit, you should listen to His voice more than ours. ”

If anything, these forest people should be the children of "pioneers", not of human civilization.

At least mentally.

Without the intervention of external forces, they will probably end up on a similar path as the "pioneer" civilization, ascending to the world of the Creator.

And Qiu Ren is the child who belongs to the "People's Federation" in the real sense. They will probably follow a similar path to the "People's Union", taking the "ideal city-style Datong world" as a spiritual paradise and the exploration of the material world as their lifelong pursuit.

Two civilizations on the same planet will give birth to different countries and organizations.

The sparks of friction and collision between these primitive nations and organizations will provide the Alliance with a large number of artworks and valuable sociological experience.

The Alliance may be able to draw some kind of inspiration from this to enhance or improve communication with other extraterrestrial civilizations.

Of course, that's all for later.

Night Ten said this, but Dora still didn't want to give up, and looked at him with those bright eyes.

"I want to see it...... Please, please take me there, I'm willing to do anything. ”

Looking at those pious eyes, Ye Shi was silent for a long time, and finally relented.

"For the sake of how much you've helped me, I can take you to heaven to see. But you have to remember that this will mean that you will never be able to return here, and you will be completely goodbye to your hometown and family...... Are you sure you want to do that? ”

Dora nodded earnestly.

"I'd rather want to know...... Truth, the pioneers, the tree of Insov, the poem engraved in the ruins, and the frescoes on the walls and the clouds in the sky...... I wonder what they mean exactly. ”

The leader of the Qiu people said that he saw his answer and that he would continue in the labyrinth. I saw my own answer too, but it was buried in the clouds of heaven...... I want to go there, so please take me. ”

She and her people still wandered the forest in the future she could see, and the more distant future was beyond what she could see.

She didn't want to spend the rest of her life in confusion and waiting.

She wanted to know the truth she longed for.

She was even willing to pay with her life.

Looking at that serious face, Ye Shi finally recognized that determination and no longer dissuaded.

Actually, if you think about it, it would be nice to have a psyker translator on his ship.

Although he also awakened psionic powers, he was the captain of the ship after all-

Well, Xue Zhou is the appointed captain of the Orion, and he is the second-in-command executive.

But it doesn't make a difference.

"Get up."

"From now on, you're also a crew member of the Orion."
