Chapter Eighty-Eight: The First Law of Life in the Universe

Chen Jing once imagined what the examiner would look like.

Humanoids, perhaps.

It could also be some other exotic species.

But in any case, Chen Jing never thought that the examiner would look like this...... Ordinary?

Yes.

can only be described as the examiner named "M" by his unsightly appearance.

He was like an ordinary person, standing in an unlit studio, wearing a gray cotton and linen robe and hiding in the shadows.

The language he speaks is not of any known human language.

But like those words that appear in the sky, they are obviously strange to listen to, but they can be inexplicably understood.

"I'm sure you're all confused right now."

"Why is the world the way it is?"

"Who are we?"

"What are you going to do to you......?"

The examiner seems to be more like a human being than a god.

At least his way of communicating made Chen Jing feel quite friendly, and there was no kind of contempt and contempt for low-level creatures between the lines.

Projection Error ......

"Wait a minute......

Restart Dimension Connection ......

When the examiner finished saying this, the mobile phone screen went black instantly.

But less than two seconds, the examiner reappeared.

This time He is not in an electronic device like a cell phone.

It's in Chen Jing's eyes.

In the eyes of Baiaji.

The eyes of all living beings.

It's like some kind of projection on the eyeball.

That terrifying clarity, as if it was close at hand, made Chen Jing shudder.

"To put it simply, the level of development of your human civilization has reached the level of 'leaping red line', and like other intelligent civilizations in the universe, you must go through an exam before you can continue to reproduce......"

The chief examiner stood in front of Chen Jing, at least he felt so.

But no matter how close he was, he found that he couldn't see the examiner's face clearly.

Beneath that robe, there seemed to be an indescribable nothingness.

"If we pass the exam, we will guide human civilization to leap forward, go to a higher dimension to survive and reproduce, if we fail the exam, human civilization will be completely destroyed by us, and even wipe out all traces of your existence."

Mu's words made Chen Jing feel a trace of heartfelt fear.

It's one thing to know the content of the exam from another source, and it's another thing to hear it from the examiner.

Although his tone was always calm, it was this kind of understatement that gave the impression of the end of civilization.

"It's really going to be messed up......"

Chen Jing looked at the projection of the examiner in front of him with a dull expression, and Bai Aji beside him trembled and said nothing.

It didn't even dare open its eyes to look at it, as if it were the most terrible thing in the world to it.

……

"Doomsday...... The end is really coming!! ”

"Why does he want to decide the survival of our human civilization with an exam?! Does he really think of himself as a god?! ”

"If you don't pass the exam...... Will everyone die? ”

"Woo woo woo I don't want to die......"

"What the hell is this exam?! Who the hell is this examiner?! ”

When the examiner says the rewards and punishments for this exam.

Humanity all over the world is in a panic.

Some people screamed in the streets because they lost their minds with fear, others screamed hysterically at the examiner's projection, but many more were crying in despair and helplessness......

There are many works of art about the "end of the world", whether it is a novel with words as a carrier or a movie with visual art...... It can be said that the vast majority of human beings are no strangers to the apocalypse.

A lot of people have imagined it.

If one day the end comes.

What will you do? And what should be done?

It turns out.

Nothing can be done.

Despair is the largest emotion in the human community, and it is also an emotion that can continue to spread like a virus......

"I'm sure you must be in a desperate mood right now, and even hate us extraterrestrial visitors, our so-called creators, must be no different from demons in your eyes, right?"

The examiner seems to be able to see everything.

All human reactions seem to be watched by Him.

"It's okay, all civilizations see us that way before they go through the exam...... Next, let me explain to you why you are allowed to participate in this cruel exam. ”

When the chief examiner's voice fell.

A large silver ball of light appeared in front of him out of thin air.

The diameter of the ball of light is about one meter, and the whole body exudes a brilliant light like the Milky Way.

This ball of light seemed to be made up of countless hair-thin lines.

As soon as it appeared, it began to spin, expand, and contract...... This series of changes is repeated.

"In all the dimensions of the known universe, there is an eternal and immutable fundamental law, which we call the 'First Law of Life'...... It exists beyond our Creators, just as you cannot fully explain the laws of physics as you know them. ”

The first law of life?

This strange word was extremely unfamiliar to Chen Jing, and it seemed that this was the first time he had heard of it.

"The total amount of civilization in all dimensions of the universe is constant."

"For example...... If this number is one hundred, then the number of intelligent civilization races that can exist at the same time in the entire universe will remain at one hundred. ”

"At the time of the existence of these hundred civilized races, there will not be any more intelligent beings born in any world."

"If one of these civilizations is destroyed, the vacated quota will be randomly given to a certain world in the universe, or a certain dimension...... A new race of intelligent creatures has been born. ”

"That's why we, the examiners, exist."

"When a civilization reaches the point of 'jumping to the red line,' we will put it to the test."

"This test may be brutal for you, but it is necessary...... You must prove that you are qualified to perpetuate civilization. ”

At this point, the examiner paused slightly.

"Actually, the biological ascension test of your human civilization should not start until five thousand years later, but after our observation, you must enter this test in advance......"

Hearing this, Chen Jing was a little confused.

Testing after 5,000 years...... Why advance to now?

Is there any special reason?

"According to our observations, human civilization has a special nature, and it is extremely rare even in the entire universe...... Your moral level and concept of life have not made much progress for thousands of years, and they are even regressing. ”

His tone was calm and helpless.

"Human civilization is one of the very few civilizations in the known universe that will kill its own kind."

"In your seemingly brilliant civilization, we do not see the existence of biological equality, and if the leap exam is placed in five thousand years, almost all examiners can foresee it...... You will start a war in the stars. ”

"War."

"This is an atrocity that must not be allowed in the universe."

"So [the Council of the Creators] unanimously decided to raise the 'red line' index of human civilization so that this test could be advanced by 5,000 years...... That is, now. ”

"Before your morals have completely collapsed, before your cosmic values have been finalized......"

The chief examiner's gaze seemed to penetrate the dimensional space, reaching the depths of every human soul.

That look of heartache and pity.

As a result, countless theists began to repent of their sins.

"Prove it to us."

"Prove to us that your civilization is worth sustaining."

"Prove to us that you can save yourselves."

"Prove ...... to us"

"You are saved."
