Chapter 58: Bai Ze's Exposition
The elder smiled and continued, "Silver Wind must not be rude, aside from spiritual power, human beings must be much smarter than you and me, otherwise the Empress would not have chosen them. Young man, for thousands of years, Silver Wind and I have been guarding here, just to wait for an opportunity to appear, that is, the appearance of the Nine Heavens Spirit. During this period, there were few people to disturb, and we were very lonely. Recently, however, humans have been coming over occasionally. Every time someone came, I expected him to be the Spirit of the Nine Heavens, but I was disappointed many times. "I thought for a second, this place was deep in the primeval forest, uninhabited. When technology is not developed, humans will definitely not be able to approach this place. Even if there are a few people who are not afraid of death and have nothing to do to wander around the primeval forest, they basically either die of illness or are eaten. Modern flying machines were introduced, and this place was discovered, so humans began to set foot here. So I asked, "So how do you deal with uninvited guests?" "Ordinary people don't care, they can't get in, the barrier will make them mistakenly think that there is no way, and then they will see giant snakes, or giant crocodiles and other behemoths. It will make them unforgettable for a lifetime. For them, it was lucky to save their lives and escape. There's no need to risk it again. For cultivators who come to hunt for treasures, they will find that there is a lot of gold outside, and they will be in a hurry to find gold in the water, and after finding it, they will encounter some supernatural events, which will cause harm to the body, so they will leave with a huge amount of property. Because for them, the gold has been exhausted, and it is dangerous here, and they will not come again. Speaking of this, the old man looked at me and said, "The most annoying thing is that you are like this, you don't want gold, and you will continue to come back if you are hurt." Ordinary enchantments can't be deceived, and they have to go into the cave. For such people, they will encounter some random dangers, which can be regarded as punishment. Hearing this, I looked at the old man, and then at the silver wind like a heavenly immortal, and asked, "That is to say, not long ago, one or several waves of people also came here, but none of them went back, is that what it means?" The beautiful elf interjected again: "If it weren't for Uncle Bai saying that you are the Spirit of the Nine Heavens, I wouldn't have pulled you up, I would have let you fall and fend for yourself." We're not bloodthirsty elves, we're just going to guard this place and not interfere with anything else. I smiled: "Although you are so beautiful that I don't dare to face it, you are also ruthless to make me dare not face it." Still, I can't help but sneak a few peeks at you. The old man laughed: "When the group of friends outside you first came, I knew their purpose, but they are not the spirit of the Nine Heavens, my subordinates were merciful, and did not go too far, and gave the little girl a hint, fortunately, the little girl was not stupid and made the right choice." If they continue to break through at that time, they will encounter the current barrier, and if they break the barrier, they will have to fend for themselves. I asked suspiciously: "Senior Bai, this logic doesn't make sense, you can know anything that has happened, then you must know that they have something to do with me, and you also know that I have a moon spirit on my body, which is the spirit of the Nine Heavens you said." Why don't you just tell them to come to me, but you have to greet them without any pain first?" Bai Ze smiled slightly: "Good question, I and Yinfeng are guarding here, as I said earlier, it is to wait for an opportunity, waiting for the Spirit of the Nine Heavens." This opportunity cannot be interfered with by me, and my indirect reminder is already very undeserved. What is the Spirit of the Nine Heavens, do you know?" I paused, not expecting Bai Ze to ask this question that had always puzzled me. I shook my head: "Actually, I don't know exactly what the power of this moon spirit is, and I don't know if the fragmentary information told me by the outside world is true. I also can't use this power freely, it comes and goes, and the side effects are very big. For example, now, I don't have much strength, and I guess I'll have to lie down for a while. Bai Ze suddenly said very seriously: "You are an outcast, do you know?" "Senior, outcast, chess piece? I didn't hear clearly?" "The so-called innate talent must be useful, your mission at the beginning is not a good thing, you are a chess piece." But then fortune changed and your mission was canceled. You will be an outcast. You should have left before you were a minor. "Then why am I still alive until now? because of the Moon Spirit?" "Your benefactor has almost exhausted all his life's learning, leaving hope to you, and at the same time giving you a new mission, so you were reborn because of the Spirit of the Nine Heavens, and the reason why the Empress chose humans to manage this land is not because of the bad roots of human beings, but because of the sense of mission that human beings bring. This sense of mission is something that is hard to find in other species. I stared at Bai Ze for two seconds, and then asked, "Then may I ask Senior Bai, who is the Empress, and what is my new mission?" After the elf disappeared, Bai Ze said to me again: "Look at this, you look at the picture on this wall, and I tell you the history and the present at the same time." If you have any questions, when it's over, you ask together, and I will answer them together. I nodded: "Oh, I thought so at first, and I forgot about it all of a sudden, well, I didn't forget my original intention." From now on I will not speak, only listen to you. ”
As he spoke, Silver Wind had returned, carrying a delicate gold plate containing all kinds of berries and a pot of tea with an extremely fragrant fragrance. Then he glanced at me and stepped aside. I knew in my heart that this elf was still very resistant to humans. But it doesn't affect her beauty. Bai Ze made a gesture of please, then took a sip of tea himself, and slowly recounted the ancient legend.
"In the vastness of the universe, on a planet in an extragalactic galaxy, a group of advanced beings have discovered their existential crisis. The life forms of these higher organisms are somewhat similar to those of life on Earth today, but they are definitely not carbon-based. They have physical forms, survive by absorbing outside energy, and are born with the ability to control multiple energies. When this creature developed into a text, the tech tree grew crooked. They revel in the pursuit of technology that infinitely magnifies individual abilities, and they advocate mastery of energy. And began to work in isolation, with poor cohesion and no sense of mission for the race.
Gradually, they can create devices of all sizes, some of which can store energy, and some of which can gain their ability to control energy. Gradually, they became dissatisfied with individual vacuum flights, ultra-long-range flights of spaceships, expeditions inside planets, destruction of small stars, creation of large stars, etc. They began to set their sights on flying out of the galaxy and exploring the universe. And try to use technology to control the energy that exists in the universe but they can't control - void potential energy and space-time kinetic energy. As a result of their various acts of death, a huge waste of energy has been caused, and the entropy of their system has increased more and more. Suddenly one day, their Venerable warned them that this independent system was starting to be unstable, that we had played with time, with space, with energy, with matter, and now the system was coming to eat us. What we are facing now is extinction.
However, no intelligent creature will sit still, and their scientists will immediately come up with a rescue plan. The first is to build a huge flying machine, fold outside the system, replenish energy from distant places, and then replenish energy into this system to stabilize this system. The second is to upgrade the technology and turn the entire system into a black hole, directly absorbing the surrounding energy and using it for their use. The third type is immigrants, each of whom takes technology to the vast universe to find a suitable place for their own survival.
Obviously, everyone is not on the same page, and they are not as united in the face of great rights and wrongs as human beings. Most of them believe that energy is infinite and that the so-called system is just a cover to limit their behavior, a few think that it is easier to turn the system into a black hole, and a very small number think that they have to go elsewhere to harvest energy or emigrate.
The Empress and several other high-level creatures chose to run far away, immigrating if they came across a suitable place, and absorbing energy to fill the system if they didn't. When he said this, Bai Ze took another sip of tea and said to me: "These are not things that I know from my spiritual power, this is what the empress told me, after all, there was no me at that time. I smiled and nodded, motioning to continue.
"The Empress told me that traveling through the stars is not just about seeing who flies fast, just like you need to open the door when you get out of a house. They are also a group of scientists. It's just that they activated the latest technology in the experimental state, and the spaceship that integrated the space folder, the void potential energy tracker, and the space-time kinetic energy fusion device began their interstellar journey with a large number of genetic fragments and a small number of embryos. At this time, Bai Ze suddenly shouted: "Not good!" and then pushed in the direction of the cave with one hand, and then I saw a dazzling shock wave smashing my head and covering my face, and after hitting Bai Ze's palm, the air seemed to be shattered. I heard the glass breaking, but I didn't see it. The other hand pushed towards the silver wind, instantly pushing the silver wind behind the protruding golden wall. Then Bai Ze's face became ugly, and he looked tired, just like the two of them just now. Silver Wind hid behind the golden wall and yelled angrily: "I know that you humans are not good things, but the empress favors you." Bai Ze smiled bitterly: "Silver Wind, don't blame humans, this is also my mission, I should have left a long time ago." Then he said to me: "It's really too late now, that female friend of yours will be in danger soon, do you want to save her?" As I spoke, I ran out, and I didn't forget to grab my bag and the snake. After sprinting to the hole in two or three seconds, I plan to jump into the water. At that moment, I stopped, I froze, there was not a drop of water in the cave, the whole cave was golden, it was a golden hole. I don't care about admiring the resplendent scenery. Turned around and climbed down, the memory of the previous rock climbing is still there, although I was still weak just now, my body seemed to be hollowed out, and my physical strength was insufficient, but at this time, I don't know if it was too much adrenal hormone, I didn't feel tired at all, I was just worried about this Yang Yi and the cook.
At this time, the silver wind flew over, hovered behind me, and sang: "I have crossed the mountains and mountains for you, but I have no intention of looking at the scenery." I glared back at the elf, and Silver Wind grabbed me by the waist: "I don't care if the bones are broken, don't spit on me." "Then my eyes went black, and then my body told me that my neck was going to break and that the blood was going to go to my brain. But before I could feel uncomfortable, the feeling was gone, and the sun shone on my eyes, a little dazzling. The top of the mountain turned white, as if it had rained lime. I immediately jumped up and shouted, "Sister Yang, where are you, Brother Cook, where are you?" As soon as the words fell, the cook's voice came from the cave: "Is Wu Yong you?" and then a rush of footsteps came from the cave, and soon, the cook appeared. Then he looked at me with a puzzled expression, as well as Bai Ze and Silver Wind. I didn't care about the cook's confusion, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother cook, if you have any questions, I'll tell you later, Sister Yang, is there any danger?" The cook shook his head: "Two or three minutes ago, Sister Yang said that she was unwell before I went down to the cave to find you, and she was lying behind that big rock to rest." It should still be there. It's isolated here, so what's the danger? As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly ran behind the rocks, and Yang Yi was lying on the ground with a pale face, covered in lime mortar. There was still some slaked lime on his face, and he struggled to squeeze a smile out of me.
