As a science fiction fanatic, Chen Yuan has experienced the cruel survival of civilization in the Three-Body Problem, the devastating war in Star Wars, the desperate but shocking scene in the interstellar crossing, and the romance of roasting marshmallows in every corner of the universe in the interstellar frontier.

Bringing back a virtual VR device from the Metaverse Experience Center, Chen Yuan walked home full of joy, facing the scorching sun, squinting his eyes and looking up at the blazing sun.

"Maybe in this world, you and I are dust."

The unknown, for people of any age, is an almost crazy expectation.

Whenever the sun sets on the horizon and night falls, Chen Yuan will look up at the starry sky and ponder what is contained in the boundless universe. Light years away, another story has happened, what kind of story is going on.

It was only when Chen Yuan came home excitedly, put on the VR that he had bought with great difficulty, and logged in to the so-called metaverse, that he was disappointed to find that it was not so much an online reality platform as a low-profile version of Minecraft.

"Garbage."

Chen Yuan did not hesitate to give a very high "praise"!

Since returning to China and then being dropped out of school, Chen Yuan has always felt that his life has become as rubbish as the VR equipment in his hand.

He may not be able to participate in the revival of a great country, and it is estimated that he can only wait for the latecomers to discover the vast universe.

"Can life be simulated, if I can, I really want to experience a different life."

Chen Yuan lay on the sofa on all fours, sighing weakly.

[Life cannot be simulated, but it allows you to see a simulation of civilization.] 】

【Civilization Simulator Activated】

[Hello, civilized observer. 】

？？

Civilization simulator?

The voice that suddenly sounded in his head made him sit up directly, and looked around suspiciously for the source of the sound, "What happened, where did the sound come from, shouldn't you meet a ghost?" ”

[Hello. 】

The voice came again.

This time, Chen Yuan clearly felt that it came from his own brain.

For a moment, he was a little excited, and after reading so many online articles, he didn't see much of this kind of routine.

"Isn't this the legendary system, what is the civilization simulator for?"

[This is a simulator that can witness the demise of civilization, and it is said that there is nothing big in life except death, and for a civilization, perdition seems to be the last choice. 】

[You can collect the current civilization technology blueprint during the simulation.] 】

After hearing the system's explanation, Chen Yuan was a little excited, "You mean that as long as you complete the simulation, you can bring out the scientific and technological drawings of the civilization from it?" Doesn't this mean that if I happen to simulate a civilization above level 3, then any technology that can be brought out can increase the strength of a great country many times?! ”

[It can be understood in this way.] 】

"It's more exciting than five million!" All the previous troubles were gone, and Chen Yuan didn't even care about what the consequences of failing the simulation would be.

The reality of the light curtain that emerges in front of you:

Civilization Simulator. 】

[Current number of simulations: 1]

[Cooldown: None]

[Current Progress: None]

Do you want to start the simulation?] 】

Faced with the choice that emerged in the light curtain, Chen Yuan chose yes without hesitation!

[The simulation program is about to begin.] 】

[Note: During the simulation, please make sure that the minimum score of each simulation is D+, otherwise the current simulation will be declared a failure, your observer level will also be reduced, and you will not be able to start the civilization simulation if you lose your observer status!] 】

Chen Yuan's eyes darkened, the consciousness of the whole person seemed to be withdrawn from his body, and the surrounding environment began to become dim, a low voice sounded, and at the same time, a jumping subtitle appeared in the darkness in front of him.

[Desperate human beings raise their guns towards the god they once feared......]

After a moment's pause, the line of words was blown away by the wind like quicksand.

Then, in the distance, a black ball of light appeared.

It seemed to be close at hand, but when Chen Yuan stretched out his hand to touch it, he found that the distance between him and the light cluster was billions of light years.

The "bell" shook suddenly, and the black light seemed to explode silently.

The needle-like streamer began to spread in all directions.

The surrounding environment began to change wildly, the darkness faded like a curtain, and the light enveloped Chen Yuan's entire body.

It is no longer darkness that catches the eye, but a wild land.

Not only is there no life, there is no air or water, there is only nitrogen, water vapor and carbon dioxide.

Chen Yuan stood on the reddish-brown cliff like this, overlooking the absurd scenery.

"Here...... Is it a simulated world? ”

"It's so realistic."

As far as his eyes could see, Chen Yuan doubted whether he was in a dream or in the real world.

Close your eyes and feel the familiar, yet completely different, scorching wind.

It's a fireball!

Boundless desolation, except for these, is still desolation!

"Could it be, this is the time when life has not yet sprouted?"

Chen Yuan only felt that all this was too realistic. But at the same time, it also gave rise to his desire for an unknown civilization.

In reality, he plays the most in a game called Time Killer - Stars.

In the game, he fulfilled a long-cherished wish of mankind for thousands of years.

Finally stepped out of the planet and galaxy that gave birth to us, but also imprisoned us.

At the beginning of the interstellar era, Chen Yuan always felt that as long as he had the ability to travel interstellarly, colonize, mine and explore.

Resources will no longer be an issue, and the strife that plagued humanity will become a thing of the past.

Unfortunately, where there is life, there is competition.

Tens of thousands of fleets were assembled at the pass just to allow the race to thrive in peace.

In the Star Sea Community, they are politely discussing the law for the protection of Tiyanqi, but behind the scenes, they shamelessly say that they have the ownership of our galaxy.

Even if the galaxy is so big, it can only accommodate one civilization.

But at that time, Chen Yuan was fighting for the galaxy, and the fleet was invincible, defeating the natural disaster and defeating all the coveted enemies.

The human fleet, the human race, the human civilization is in every corner of the galaxy.

The supreme creations and achievements amaze all beings in the galaxy.

But it's also a sad game.

Because Chen Yuan knew that it was a scene that he would not be able to witness with his own eyes in his life.

Turn off the computer at the end of the game, and the TV in the living room is arguing with all parties for petty profits.

In the Internet forums, everyone holds up all kinds of labels and flags and abuses endlessly.

Walking to the balcony and looking out the window, the road was full of traffic during the evening rush hour, and the cars and street lamps shone brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Looking at the night sky in the crowded city, Chen Yuan often felt a little lonely.

Will humanity ever take that step?

Or will it always be like this, silently crowded on this inconspicuous planet, noisy, screaming and disappearing......

Chen Yuan knew that this kind of game and videos related to the grand universe could not be watched, and it was easy not to want to repay the loan.

But at this time, he was glad that he was able to see such a realistic and magnificent scene, even if it was only a simulation.

But Chen Yuan had a huge question and panic in his heart.

"Civilization simulator, a simulator that can witness the demise of civilizations, doesn't it mean that every civilization I experience will eventually go to the end?"

"It's kind of outrageous."

"But, anyway, it's simulated by the system, and it's also very exciting."

Chen Yuan really couldn't believe how spectacular it would be to witness the destruction of a civilization.

Just thinking about it, my limbs couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking, a large number of asteroids containing water sources in the universe began to impact the planet, such a spectacular scene made Chen Yuan dumbfounded, and even frightened him to curl up on the ground.

However, when a meteorite brushed against him, his entire body became transparent.

"Luckily, it's a simulation."

Chen Yuan rejoiced.

Gradually, the Earth began to cool.

The ground beneath his feet seemed to shake.

Chen Yuan, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, hurriedly took a few steps back.

Just ahead, a giant actually walked slowly towards him!
