Chapter 351: The End of the Void
What exactly is the "void"? It's not that hard.
The void can purely refer to this universe with all kinds of particles and all kinds of energy; It can also refer to an "absolute vacuum" where there is nothing, not even time; It can simply refer to a space that looks empty; It can even refer to the idea that "consciousness determines matter" in the realm of idealism.
It's all about how you define the void.
The scientists of the "Far Traveler" read the meanings of all the words related to "the void" in their dictionary to the "Void Lord" like the names of the dishes, and the answers were always correct when they used a lot of data.
They also couldn't understand the meaning of "void" in the name "Void Breed", because they had heard the name "Guardian" from the "Guardian", and they rightly called it "Void Breed".
And Li Wenyuan heard it from the "Presorin" queen, who learned about the existence of such a group of "hounds" from the memories passed down from generation to generation.
As for who named these creatures "Void Breeders" in the first place, the Queen's memory is also very vague.
So why did this creature get so named? "Seedling" can be understood as the meaning of a large number of reproduction offspring, and "Void Breeding" can be simply understood as "the offspring of the void", so what does this "void" refer to?
It seems to have been unnoticed as some sort of conventional name, and it wasn't until the wise-minded "Void Underlord" questioned the origin of their name.
【…… Is it......]
What the Farwalker scientist said through the signal was all fresh knowledge to the Void Underlord, and it listened carefully, but it didn't seem to hear what it wanted.
At this time, Li Wenyuan's artificial intelligence fleet had already transmitted back the information about what had happened here, and began to cautiously approach the "observation terminal" infected by the flesh and blood of the "Void Underlord".
They chose to observe this strange life within a controllable range, and once there was any abnormality, they would activate the "purification authority" granted by Li Wenyuan to nip the abnormality in the bud.
And the "Void Underlord" didn't care about the approach of the AI fleet, and didn't react to the drones that were scanning the planet, just stating its opinion to itself.
[My wisdom was born by chance, I don't have the common sense of this universe, everything I know comes from your broadcast signals flying all over the galaxy]
[The first question I think about is the definition of "self", which is the first thing that every intellectual life should think about]
[I know that you define the life of "me" as "the Void Breeder, the Void Beast, the Void Egg", etc....... I can't be sure if this is pertinent, but it's also a way to understand the "self" through the objective evaluation of a third party]
[Now that I think about it, you have also discovered that "void" is a definition word that appears very frequently, even if the language is different and the signal is different, it can be translated into a similar meaning in the end]
[This may be a coincidence, or it may be fate, no matter how long it is inherited, we are ultimately defined as "void"]
So what exactly is the "void"? 】
In the communication signal, the "Void Underlord" threw out such a rhetorical question, but instead of waiting for an answer, it continued to state it:
[I thought that those self-proclaimed "Presolin" beings were the same as us, so I did not hesitate to expose my existence and trade with the secrets I knew]
[But as a result, you also know that only we seem to have something to do with the "void" in this universe.]
[You don't know what the "void" is, but I know that it is the source of our appearance, and there are relevant contents in our memories, and I can't decipher what those things are without wisdom, but with the help of this planet processor I already know]
["Void" is actually "God"]
As soon as the signal of this "Void Evil Lord" came out, everyone present was silent for a while.
I thought it would have some lofty opinions, but it turned out to be such a magic stick's answer, and almost all the "Far Traveler" scientists showed disappointed expressions.
Attributing all incomprehensible phenomena to "God" is the most primitive belief and worship, which is the result of insufficient scientific development, and interstellar civilization has ceased to thrive.
Even those theocratic interstellar civilizations with the Holy See as the supreme authority and officials always shouting "for the sake of the XX gods, destroy you in the name of the XX gods", the preschool education textbooks they compiled also wrote that "the XX archbishop discovered the law of gravitation when observing the fallen fruit", rather than "God told us about gravity".
However, the scientists of the "Far Traveler" can also understand the "Void Underlord", after all, the other party is a life that has not undergone systematic education, and it seems very normal to attribute incomprehensible things to non-existent "gods".
However, its next words made these scientists think deeply.
[This is not an unwise statement, in my memory, "void" is a "phenomenon", or "rule", with a certain degree of instinct]
[In general, the definition of "life" no longer applies to such beings, so I prefer to call them "gods"]
[To be precise, the "void" is one of the "ends" of this universe, the end of a universe where all matter and immaterial disappear, and even time and space cease to exist.]
[I don't know if you have a similar theory about the "end of the universe", maybe you already have multiple opinions]
[But now I can tell you unequivocally that one of the ends of this universe is the Void"]
[I, or "we", the "beasts of the void", are the products of the "void", and they are the "props" he uses to accelerate the universe into the end]
[He will spontaneously make the universe tend to His essence, regardless of any need or for any purpose, because it is a "phenomenon", just as gravity exists in all things.
[Most of our nature that is different from this universe comes from Him, and that is His nature]
But why is He the end of "was"?] Because memory tells me that theoretically there should be countless "voids" of different natures in the universe, and they will sweep through this universe, transform all the rules into "voids", and destroy everything.
[How to describe this behavior or phenomenon?] I think there may be a more accurate definition in your text—a huge, devastating, unexpected, "end" that everyone has to face.
[However, none of this happened, the "end" was rewritten, and no other "void life" appeared.]
[And we are no longer the subordinates of the "Void", but are controlled by a civilization that calls itself "Hunters", and have become their "hounds"]
The "Void Underlord" tells things that I don't know if it's true or not, and there seems to be nothing that corroborates what it says, except for its special anti-thermodynamic properties and the ability to "evolve superbodies".
However, these scientists have an inexplicable premonition about this, as if what it says is true.
And what they care about the most is the sense of déjà vu in this discourse.
They also came out of the galaxy, although because of the relationship between humans and Li Wenyuan, they did not experience those things head-on, but they also knew what had happened.
In their definition, it seems that it is more appropriate to use "natural disaster" as what the "Void Underlord" is talking about, but this "natural disaster" is aimed at the entire universe.
