Chapter 444 What Did You Do?
Two spiral points of light fell from the sky.
The ground shook violently.
On one side is a black-haired young man, and on the other side is a dead dragon spewing black smoke and mist.
Amid the billowing smoke, the landing postures of both the man and the dragon were not elegant. They immediately bounced up after landing and assumed alert and hostile postures towards each other.
The black-haired young man's body was covered with wounds, and the Necromancer's body was also covered with the same battle damage.
In the battle just now, the two sides were evenly matched.
After Liu Xingquan left, their subjective fighting time in this simulated alien world had spanned hundreds or even thousands of years, but the result was still countless draws.
Their permissions interact with each other, and no matter how many effective attacks they carry out, no matter how many copies of themselves they create, the outcome of their competition is zero. No one can make any further progress, no one can make any further progress.
Their strength is each other's strength, just like the left hand and the right hand interacting with each other, just like mirrors reflecting each other.
"That's enough," said the Necromancer.
The surrounding environment changed, the golden sunlight filled the campus, and laughter continued on the green grass. They were like in an ordinary campus somewhere on the earth. The Necromancer transformed into a young man who looked exactly like the black-haired young man, with the same slightly curly black hair and the same black jade eyes.
"You stole my looks again." Yan Zhen said.
"You were the one who stole my power first." said the Necromancer.
"Who was the one holding on to my fragments when he was sealed by Mr. Air?" Yan Zhen sneered.
"Who else was clinging to the key while being cut into pieces?"
"That's not your key!!"
They glared at each other angrily, showing a friendly attitude that seemed to want to tear each other into pieces.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Necromancer spread his hands and said, "You have already noticed that even if we fight here for hundreds of centuries, there will be no results. I think we might as well talk it out."
A chair appeared behind Yan Zhen. He sat down and crossed his legs. "Oh, is it time for the verbal battle now?"
"As one of the founders of the Black Box Society, my ideal has never changed." Necromancer also conjured up a chair and sat down steadily, "That is for the well-being of all lives in the world."
"Wow, that really worked hard for you."
“This world is horrible and cruel.”
Yan Zhen tilted his head, "You sound very convincing when you say this."
"What do you think life is?"
"It's just that I really want to punch you a few more times now."
Ignoring Yan Zhen's uncooperative attitude, the Necromancer raised his head and said, "Life is just a tiny flash of light in the universe. No matter what race it is, its final fate will be destruction, and everything will return to nothingness."
"So when will you die?"
The Necromancer stretched out his hand and waved gently.
Different images appeared in Yan Zhen's field of vision. These should be from the memories of the Dead World Dragon, and possibly other data that it copied, or the residual memories of billions of consciousnesses that it collected.
He saw the rise of life on an alien planet.
That was not the protein life he was familiar with. This planet was covered with volcanoes that erupted one after another. When the crust and magma vibrated violently, the free sulfur in the air triggered bright light and expanding heat. The original molecules no longer existed. The sulfur atoms and oxygen atoms rearranged and combined in a strange throbbing, just like the electron cloud in protein life. The brilliance of burning became the heat of new life, which was the heat required by the thinking unit.
The Necromancers call them sulfur people. When they grow to a certain age, the little sulfur people will carry oxygen atoms and turn into gas to start a new journey. After a period of time, some sulfur people will choose to re-light the brilliance of new thinking with water vapor, and life will move towards another form of journey. The order of molecules dances again, and atoms use energy to record their own experiences. The sulfur people combine with hydrogen atoms to embrace the sky, and then turn into acid rain and return to the earth.
At this point, their life journey is complete. The next reincarnation will belong to a new generation of sulfur people.
In their life tours again and again, they recorded their own existence. After millions of years of evolution, the sulfur people finally entered a period of prosperous and stable social development. They have no parents, nor the concept of a partner, but they have friends and mentors. New sulfur people have a special breeding ground. The older gaseous sulfur people have to take on the responsibility of raising the cubs after a certain age. When they feel the time has come, they will complete the final ascension and rain with the farewell of their friends. New life is brewing again in the rain.
After hundreds of generations, the technological level of the Sulfur people is almost the same as that of the people on Earth. Although many of the technology trees follow completely different routes, their living customs are even more different. They raise a creature made of metal elements as a pet. This creature is similar to the robots that Yan Zhen knows, but not the same. They are not man-made, but naturally formed creatures. Most of the time, they will continue to perform the action of friction to generate electricity to maintain their lives. The Sulfur people like this creature very much and named it Cha Cha. Whenever they stare at Cha Cha friction, the Sulfur people will feel a healing and relieved emotion.
If this continues for several generations, the Sulfur people will probably leave their planet and explore the universe.
But an accident happened suddenly.
A super flare suddenly erupted from a star in the Sulfur Star Galaxy, instantly bringing disaster to the planet where the Sulfur Stars lived. The destruction was so swift that the planet that was once full of vitality and civilization fell into a dead silence. The Sulfur Stars' world turned into eternal darkness.
Not a single Sulfur Star survived.
There is no more reincarnation of life.
"See? This planet was originally just like your Laura." Necra Dragon said, "Although the life forms are completely different, who can deny that they once had civilization? But they came to an end because of a sneeze from a star, leaving only eternal nothingness."
“……”Yan Zhen didn’t say anything.
"When the Sulfur Star people perished, tens of millions of civilizations in the Milky Way suffered the same fate. But the universe doesn't care, and the Milky Way doesn't care. The brilliant civilization that took millions of time units to evolve is just a meaningless dust in the universe. Everything will perish, everything is meaningless, this is the true reality of darkness." The scene of the demise of tens of millions of civilizations flashed in the air like a playing card, and the Dead Dragon said, "From the moment life was born, it was destined to end one day."
"You once said something similar to me." Yan Zhen said.
"You were touched by the ending of the Sulfur Star people, right? Look at this planet again. Ah, it looks familiar, doesn't it? That's your Lola, your Earth. Yes, this is the Earth from another parallel world. Look, it has also become a dead planet. Human civilization just vanished into thin air and no longer exists. Oh, you finally feel a little emotional now, right? You are afraid, and you are grateful."
"I have witnessed countless destructions. I have monitored the birth and destruction of civilizations time and time again in the dome. No matter whether I like it or hate it, no matter how interesting or boring the civilization is, the final path is destruction. After observing and calculating again and again, I finally understood one thing. Life is meaningless. Since the forerunners left behind the principles of things, why don't I define everything?"
"Since the universe will eventually be devoured by entropy and everything will perish, why don't I give life poetry before it perishes? Why don't I create more welfare?" The Necromancer opened his arms. "It will be quick and not scary at all. Compared to the terrifying and ruthless universe, I am a more worthy choice. I will offer a better script for life."
"Don't dream." Yan Zhen said, "You are just using beautiful words to cover up your own selfish desires. The person who hurt Xi Yiqi like this has no right to say such things ."
"Xiyiqi," the Necra Dragon replied, "The Xiyiqi Swarm was doomed long ago."
"It was your Black Box Society that spread the plague."
The Necra Dragon shook his head. "No, we didn't spread the plague. It was the queen of the Xiyiqi Swarm who had genetic distortion during the inheritance process. The first queen was perfect, but the distortion of organisms during the generations is uncontrollable. After generations of inheritance, the distortion finally accumulated to the limit. Even without our Black Box Society, the Xiyiqi Swarm would have become extinct within three to four generations. We just slightly accelerated the process."
"Oh, a person could live to be 80 years old, but you let him live to 40 and ascend to heaven, and then killed his whole family. You still feel quite at ease, right?"
"If this price can achieve the well-being of life, then everything will make sense."
"Ah, I'm sure. The happiness of my life is that I must beat you to death." Yan Zhen nodded with a smile.
"Haha, then let me ask you another question." Necromancer said, "If you saw your Earth destroyed meaninglessly like the mother of the Sulfur Star people just now, and none of your friends and relatives survived, would you still remain indifferent?"
"There are no ifs." Yan Zhen said, "I only know that you are threatening the world now, so I must beat you to death."
The Necromancer suddenly laughed. Its laughter was so strange and cruel that Yan Zhen frowned.
"It's really disgusting that you use my face to smile like this."
"Why do you think I have to tell you again about the horror and cruelty of the universe?" Necromancer said with a smile, " Do you think your subjective time is still a million times slower than the outside world? While chatting with you, I have already sped up time again. Let's take a look at the outside world."
Yan Zhen's expression changed.
The sky of the alien world was burning. It was like a movie screen showing the tragic situation of the real physical world. Everywhere was covered with an overwhelming black tide. Buildings collapsed, starships were broken. He could not see any living creatures. Dust covered the sky and the sun, and the sentinels covered all the areas he could see.
Queen Siyichi's army had been decimated.
Not a single living being could be seen.
The picture contained only falling debris, like silent, cold raindrops hitting Yan Zhen's brain.
"you……"
"Then let's make an exchange." Necromancer said with a smile, "Exchange the key with the Earth you mentioned, Laura."
“…”
"If you refuse, Earth will be the Sentinels' next target."
“…”
"Last time you refused to hand it over to me even though I cut you into pieces. What about now? Are all the lives on Earth worth giving up?" Necrasaurus said, "Is a key that you don't understand or know how to use so important to you?"
"I……"
Are the living things on earth worth giving up?
His parents, his sister, and thousands of people he was familiar with and unfamiliar with...
Before Yan Zhen could answer, a gust of wind blew and the Death Dragon appeared in front of him.
He heard the sound of its hands piercing his chest, flesh being torn apart roughly.
Then came a hard push.
Yan Zhen was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground.
The Necromancer, in his adult form, manifested a spinning crystal in his hand, stained with Yan Zhen's blood.
"It's much easier this time. That guy connected us to each other. We are like different sides of each other. Although you stole my power, as long as you hesitate, I can easily get the key."
"You..." Yan Zhen raised his head, his hands and face were covered in blood.
The Necra Dragon blew a breath at the crystal, and the blood melted like snow.
"You let the Earth go..."
The Necralius turned around and stared at the crystal in his hand with full concentration. The final key to the Forerunner Library, what it had longed for day and night, was finally in its hands.
As long as the key is opened, it can bring all the lives in the world into a beautiful dream from which they will never wake up.
The crystal glows slightly and falls off layer by layer, like a blooming flower, emitting a faint and charming fragrance.
Finally, finally…
The moment has finally arrived.
The time has finally come for it to inherit the greatest achievements of its predecessors.
Its dream is about to...
The flowers are in bloom.
…
…
Then a chicken jumped out from the center of the flower.
An ordinary yet majestic chicken.
The chicken glared at it.
Necradragon said, "Why is there a chicken here?"
Yan Zhen, who had been lying on the ground begging desperately, suddenly shook his shoulders and laughed. He laughed very happily.
The Necromancer roared, "What did you do?!"
"You are too confident. You can divert my attention while secretly speeding up the subjective time, but that doesn't mean I will do nothing. While you were preaching, I added another shell on top of the alien world. The real scene of the outside world that you showed is just a simulation calculation on the shell. As for this chicken, do you really think everything will go as you wish to get the key?" Yan Zhen slowly loosened his hand, and his black jade eyes flickered slightly between his fingers.
"Hey, it looks like I won."
