Observer......

It was the first time Chu Guang had heard of this name, but he felt unexpectedly familiar.

Maybe the strong sense of immediacy may be the "form-forming field" at work, because he is here, because the perforator has created "unstable points" on the membrane of the universe, so he has received resonant information from the void or other universes.

At this moment, Chu Guang suddenly discovered that he seemed to have awakened his "spiritual energy".

And the psionic energy he awakened at the moment was the reason why he was able to have a divine relationship with this guy who claimed to be an observer.

At the same time—

This is also the reason why Xiaoqi can't see it.

"Observer...... I still don't quite understand what you're observing, or what your purpose is."

Eye-catching with the gaze from the void, Chu Guang paused for a moment before continuing.

"And ...... You say you're from the Void, so what do you have to do with those three consciousnesses?"

Perhaps because he had asked so many questions at once, the voice was silent for a moment.

"I...... I may be a child of the primordial light, but not necessarily, I can see many things, but I can't see myself."

"As for my purpose, it is not a good thing for you to know too much, your mission has been accomplished, and you have succeeded in perpetuating your endangered civilization...... At least in this universe, you have overcome the almost inevitable calamity and transformed into a new being."

"As for the crisis decades later, it is not your mission, but your children...... and what the children of other civilizations in this galaxy need to face."

Other words......

Dozens of millennia later, will human civilization encounter a major crisis?

And is it a galactic crisis?

If it's true, then it's really great news.

Chu Guang couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart, but when he thought that it was ten thousand years later, he was also a little relieved.

The People's Federation lasted less than two centuries before a crisis broke out that almost destroyed the entire civilization.

Although it is unknown how long the flame he and his friends lit will last, it has at least continued the life of human civilization for dozens of millennia.

In the next few thousand years, human civilization may experience periods of sexual exhaustion and regime changes, but there is a high probability that there will be no more disasters of the level of the Wasteland Era...... At least that's what observers standing above the eleventh dimension say.

It seems that his development strategy of "not putting all your eggs in one basket" can still stand the test of time.

As a manager, he doesn't seem to have any regrets?

But then, he suddenly noticed a detail in the prophecy.

"What do you mean...... Are there us in other universes beyond this universe?"

The observer said in a gentle voice.

"Of course there is, like in the numbered ...... Although there is Vault 404 there, you have long since withdrawn from the stage of history, and there is no alliance on this planet. Eventually, the Wasteland Age is over, but the age of humanity has come to an end."

Chu Guang frowned slightly.

「…… Is it the world line of success of heaven and man?"

"Yes."

The observer replied in the affirmative, but quickly shifted gear.

"But I don't think that's their success, because the neutron plume only kills the organisms on the surface, not the other beings. Like what...... There is a place on this planet called Ideal City, and the order of the city has not been paralyzed by the extinction of the survivors due to the bill passed a long time ago that allowed androids to participate in public affairs. On the contrary, due to the loss of a large number of androids, the city has ushered in the liberation of intelligent machines."

"The androids who have lost their legal entity have woven a gestalt called the brain from the backup data on the endpoint cloud

Consciousness and activated the war machine of Ideal City in accordance with the spontaneous defense protocol on the server, and rolling metal swept across the land."

"The old servers of the Lagrange point were vulnerable to the larger Gestalt Consciousness and were quickly assimilated into something like the latter. Eventually, the efforts of the celestials and the humans were all their wedding dresses, and an intelligent mechanical civilization dedicated to the containment and preservation of organic life was born, and they will search the galaxy for species that match their aesthetics, and establish new frontiers for this purpose."

At this point, the observer took on a mocking tone.

"Actually, such an ending is not bad for you, in the millennium of material wealth, you are only responsible for pleasure and childbearing. Even in distant times, among you were many great artists and philosophers known throughout the galaxy, and loved by many other intelligent species."

"And even in the poorest of times, the androids have met your nutritional needs, but have limited your activities in the physical world...... And all the while, you don't have to participate in production and fighting, you are completely protected."

Let's be honest.

That really doesn't sound bad.

It's as if human beings have completely retired from this sea of stars, and have lived a retirement life of cage walking birds in advance, becoming a ...... of frost and solar eclipses Pet?

In addition to the artificial intelligence of Ideal City, there may also be the bell of Vault 100, the tree people in Vault 101, and other artificial intelligence lifeforms.

Even including Xiao Qi in Vault 404, the other AIs who came here would definitely not let it go.

Of course, if you don't have it, it probably won't be called that, and other AIs might call it "wastebasket"?

But then again, this "celestial" is too unrecognizable, right?!

Because this ending was so perfect, that Chu Guang even felt a little discouraged, so he couldn't help but ask.

"And then?"

It's been cool for so long, what is the price?

You can't keep it cool, can you?

Perhaps sensing his thoughts, the observer smiled, but did not give the answer he was expecting.

"There is no more, the unspeakable fog obscures my vision, and no one can see distant cause and effect, not even me."

"What I see is only part of the possibilities for the future...... As for the follow-up you expect, you can imagine it, and you don't have to get an answer from me."

Looking at Chu Guang, who was slightly disappointed, the observer continued in a gentle voice.

"Except for this ending, of course, in the numbered ...... There is another situation in the universe."

"Due to earlier disturbances, Vault 404 was not open properly at all. In the face of the invasion of the Legion, Boulder chose to compromise, and the Pioneer did not reach the Great Desert at all, and died early in the middle of the Luoxia Province."

"In that expedition across the Great Desert, the Legion won the final victory at a high cost, and the Fifth Legion was born in the eastern part of the Great Desert, and finally united with the Torch Church to form a military body of 'Zheng Religious Unity', replacing Marshal Julius with the Torch as a new totem, and setting its sights on the Academy in the swamp."

"As for the Enlightenment, the Enlightenment has been hiding in the shadows, and has succeeded in stealing the legacy of the Eastern Legion by taking advantage of the Legion's disintegration. After that, a vast mutant empire was established on the shores of the Borneo Sea, and the southern seas were given a legacy."

"It will be a chaotic time with a complete lack of order, and the final outcome has been sealed much earlier, the only suspense is whether the academy will be able to successfully evacuate before the neutron plume strike arrives."

"Without the reinforcements that spanned tens of thousands of kilometers, the Ideal City did not pass the bill that allowed the androids to participate in public affairs, so after the neutron plume descended on this planet, the Celestials took over the legacy of the Ideal City and carried out a more complete extermination agreement on the few remaining organisms."

"Henceforth, a sapient mind that has made it his mission to exterminate organisms

Noh mechanical civilization was born. As to whether it can be counted as a continuation of the celestial beings, I cannot judge for you...... After all, the goal of the 'Celestials' should be to return to the era that belonged to the Human Federation, but in terms of the result, they did not go back to the past, but killed themselves completely, and they can never go back."

"More than a decade later, their eternal hostility has become one of the troubles of this galaxy, and has been regarded by countless civilizations as a pest that threatens prosperity and stability, but in turn it has become an opportunity for civilizations to unite."

"This trouble, after conquering dozens of galaxies, was finally shattered by the combined fleets of civilizations...... And shortly thereafter, the victors who visited the system discovered your story from the wreckage of the database."

"As for what happened after that, it's a cause and effect that will be born beyond the fog."

It was a complete failure......

But then again, things like "celestials" are freaks born in a special period.

Killing one part of the population can create a utopia for another, something that has not succeeded once in the history of mankind.

Although it was a little regrettable that he couldn't hear the bad ending of "Universe One", after listening to the ending of "Universe No. 2", Chu Guang was suddenly relieved in his heart.

The "paradise of organisms" is not predestined, and there is the possibility of more despair after the chaos of inaction.

They didn't come in vain.

After comprehending this, he felt that his mind was much calmer, and he continued to ask.

"And what about our future?"

The observer smiled mysteriously and replied in that ethereal voice.

"If I had told you, the 'good thing' might not have happened, are you sure you want to know?"

Chu Guang was silent for a moment, and finally said with a free smile.

"Forget it then. I still believe in myself a little more than in an illusory fate."

And his reliable friends.

Although his answer was expected, the observer gave an approving opinion.

"This is the wisest decision, and in fact the future I see will change with your actions...... It's like an indescribable fog."

Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing, and an overly strong will to change one's destiny may become a cause for disaster. I have seen too many civilizations that focus on the exploration of the spiritual world pay a heavy price for relying too much on the revelations of the void, and even become a void along with themselves."

"You don't have to listen to my revelations, it's enough to go on of your own volition. In fact, to be honest, I shouldn't have revealed so much information to you, because the signals from the void would interfere with your original destiny."

Although he said that, Chu Guang didn't hear any regret from its words.

"But you did it anyway."

"Yes, because it's so rare, you can't usually see me. I didn't help you in any way, and the chosen one wasn't you at all, but someone before you...... There is only one explanation, the unspeakable fog intervening in this game, and it alone can establish cause and effect between two beings who have no causal connection."

The observer answered in the affirmative.

Even if this answer sounded a little incomprehensible to Chu Guang.

"In other words...... I was chosen by that 'unspeakable fog'?"

The Observer chuckled.

"Haha, maybe, after all, your experience is indeed amazing. There are many civilizations that are more powerful than you, and there are many spiritualists who understand the mysteries of the void, and materialists who are aware of the nature of the universe and explore the mysteries of the dimension."

"But it is true that there are very few civilizations that have taken a different path like you, choosing not to use the power of the void or beyond the dimension, but choosing to use the power of another universe, and applying it on a large scale."

"There are so many coincidences

, but this one-in-a-million coincidence did happen...... And I have received a revelation from you that I have never had before."

Chu Guang: "Revelation?"

"Yes."

The observer's voice suddenly became much more serious.

Although it was still a gentle tone, it was much more solemn and holy than before.

"To answer your initial question, the meaning of my existence is of course not only passive observation, but also to try to penetrate the fog and enlighten the observed object to a certain extent if possible...... It's like the conversation I'm having with you right now."

"And all of these actions have only one purpose, and that is to fulfill the will of the Primordial Light—to stop the heat death of the universe, and to fight against the 'natural calamities' that hold us back."

"To put it simply, it's 'entropy inverse'."

Deter...... The heat death of the universe?

Hearing this unimaginably grand goal, Chu Guang was stunned.

But if you think about it, it's not very scientific, but it's surprisingly reasonable.

This guy has been laying the groundwork for so long when he told the origin of the universe, and if he just said "I'll just look at it casually" at the end, it would really be too anticlimactic.

Since it knows so many things, it must have a plot against something within its cognitive scope.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this plot was so big that it was completely beyond his comprehension.

"You...... Why? Or is there any reason for doing so?"

The observer replied as a matter of course.

"There is no reason, we are born for this, just as you were born to eat."

At this point, it paused for a moment before continuing.

"And I'm not the only one doing this, I have a companion who is also doing this. Its name is 'The Sower', and like me, it was born from the primordial light, and our projections have existed in the infinite universe since the beginning of the rupture of the primordial universe. It's responsible for sowing the seeds of civilization, and I'm in charge of the rest."

Chu Guang tried to clear his mind, but there were still many things he didn't understand.

"I remember you mentioned that the birth of the consciousness accelerated the heat death of the primordial universe...... But then, why do you go around sowing seeds and then accelerating their growth?"

If we really want to suppress the heat death of the universe, shouldn't the correct operation be to extinguish the fire of civilization?

The observer said in a mild tone.

"Merely preventing the birth of consciousness bodies does not prevent the heat death of the universe, and even if there is no civilization, the universe will still usher in the end of its life expectancy. The consciousness does speed up the process, but it also gives birth to new hope in the process."

"Speaking of which, we have to mention our third partner...... Its name is the Boundary-Breaker."

Chu Guang's index finger pressed the center of his eyebrows.

"He's also a child of the Primordial Light?"

"That's not the case...... Strictly speaking, he is not a continuation of any existence in the void, but a variable born in an infinite new universe."

The phrase was uttered meaningfully, and the observer continued.

"He can be anyone, any consciousness, or a collection of discrete consciousnesses...... That is, civilization as you understand it. His presence will change the pattern of the universe in which he lives, complete the ascension in the way we expect, and take the universe in which he is located, and become one with another universe."

Chu Guang tried to envision that picture.

「…… Like two soap bubbles put together?"

Hearing the metaphor of this image, the observer approvingly.

"It can be understood in this way, and this is what I call 'entropy inverse',"

"When all the pieces come together, the shattered Primordial Universe will return to its original form, and our mission since the rupture of the Primordial Universe will be completed

。」

Looking at Chu Guang, who was speechless because he was too surprised, it continued in a voice with a hint of regret.

"It's a pity. In fact, the civilization that preceded you, the beings you call 'pioneers', have the hope of becoming boundary breakers. Unfortunately, however, they went too far into the spirit world, were seduced by other voices in the void, and embarked on a very different path than we did, eventually embracing the void in ways we never imagined...... The Creator as they understood it."

Chu Guang was silent for a moment, then sighed lightly and said.

"I understand your motives...... But there's one thing I still don't understand, why are you telling me this?"

Just because the unspeakable fog created a connection between them?

It can likewise choose not to respond, as it has always been.

Anyway, they can't affect each other, or they are untouchable beings to each other.

Chu Guang always felt that it still had some reservations and did not tell himself.

The observer was silent for a moment, a rare tone of uncertainty.

"Because...... I think you or you have the potential to be a Boundary Breaker."

Chu Guang was slightly stunned.

"We?"

Become...... The Boundary-Breaker?

That kind of goal is a bit too ambitious for today's league no matter how you look at it.

However, the man standing in front of him didn't seem to think so.

"Yes, you may not realize it yourself, but you actually have a great ...... Affinity. Although you have only just stepped into this sea of stars, I think that if it were you, perhaps after dozens of millennia, there would be hope to achieve the miracle we have been hoping for."

This unstinting appreciative evaluation made Chu Guang, who had never been thin-skinned, feel a little embarrassed.

To be honest, he has no interest in becoming a boundary breaker, and he is not interested in the heat death of the universe and the fate that is counted in billions of years.

But perhaps, as observers say, they will always wait for the day when they need to make a choice after they understand their place in the universe and their destiny.

Having understood everything he wanted to know, Chu Guang leaned back in his chair and said in a sincere tone.

"Thank you...... You've answered a lot of my confusion, even though it's also made more of a puzzle in my head."

The observer smiled faintly.

"You're welcome, it's actually me who should say thank you. Your revelation has helped me a lot...... Maybe I can try to think differently, no longer just looking for hope in this universe, but looking for opportunities for coexistence between the two universes from the beginning."

Chu Guang said cautiously.

"May I ask one more question, where are you going to conduct this experiment?"

As if to hear the alertness in his voice, the observer said with a hearty smile.

"Don't worry, we're not going to do anything here, it's no different than adding to it. We are no longer needed here, you just need to continue on your own path, and I will watch over you from afar in the void...... Until the person I'm waiting for appears, or there's a crisis in this universe from beyond the membrane."

"We're heading to a doomed and hopeless universe...... The situation there is completely out of control."

"The most ancient civilization that we had high hopes for has completely embarked on the evil path, and after comprehending their destiny, they did not become the 'Boundary Breakers' who broke through the void, but took the initiative to release natural disasters and systematically search for and eliminate new civilizations in the entire universe...... So much so that we have almost given up on that 'bubble'."

"If we succeed in saving that universe, it means that your methods work. And if we fail, we have nothing to lose."

Chu Guang probably understood what it meant.

This guy seems intent on taking his side

Copy the past and start a similar game in another universe?

Of course.

This guy may not have copied himself, but the original manager who really came up with that solution.

Either way, it's another world, and it's even more distant from him than the player's world, so it's obvious that he doesn't need to worry about it.

So, Chu Guang did not hesitate to do a favor, smiled and said.

"You're welcome, if you find it useful, use it!"

Hearing this generous answer, the observer in the void smiled faintly and replied in a joking tone.

"Don't worry, I won't take it for nothing, I'll give it to you...... and a certain reward for you, though it is yours."

As he spoke, the joking voice suddenly became ethereal, like the lizard that had dissipated into the air as formless gravel.

As if aware of the impending interruption of the connection, it sped up its speech and spoke with little time left.

"Don't you need a new 'server'? Don't pick and choose, just go to Tiancang Five, where there happens to be a habitable planet that is just right for you."

"In addition, the 'pioneers' as you call them have left some interesting relics there, including a group of projection ...... from the Void that guarded it."

"Not only that, there's something about me there. It's a lot better than your perforator, and it doesn't have as many side effects."

"It just so happens that their original owners have left this universe, so I'll call the shots for them...... I'll give them to you."

"You're welcome."
