Chapter 468: The Magnificent Civilization of Humankind
In the courtyard.
Lu Songling made a cup of tea for Lin Ye, and then poured himself a glass of boiled water.
"Ask whatever you want to ask. After today, you may not have the chance to answer your questions."
Lu Songling dismissed everyone in the courtyard, and at this moment, no third person could hear the conversation in the courtyard except the two people in the courtyard.
"Mr. Lu, do you know the Book of Humanity?"
Lin Ye went straight to the point. According to what Lao Shi said, Mr. Lu was transformed by the Book of Humanity.
"The stone told you."
Lu Songling was stunned for a moment, then he understood why Lin Ye asked this. Lin Ye did not hide it and nodded in acknowledgement.
"I am not the Book of Humanity. I just merged with the Book of Humanity by chance. If you want to know, I will tell you..."
"Back then, I was chased by five powerful Void God Realm masters in Tianwai Tian. I opened a space rift with the determination to burn my boats and was sucked into the space rift..."
Space cracks are very magical. They can swallow everything. Not to mention the Yuanshen realm, even the Void God realm will be torn apart if not careful , and will be exiled forever in the eternal void while alive.
When Lu Songling was hit into the space rift, all his cultivation had been destroyed. It would have been impossible for him to survive under such circumstances. Lu Songling didn't even intend to survive at that time. He just didn't want to fall into the hands of the aliens from outer space.
After entering the space rift, Lu Songling lost consciousness, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself floating in the void.
The void was completely silent, with nothing in it, but it wasn't the ultimate darkness...
Just... just like the deep sea.
As his body floated in the void, Lu Songling found that some spots of light would float past him from time to time. At first, he just watched those spots of light float by, but after a long time, he became interested and reached out to grab the spots of light that floated past him.
As he looked at the light spots, a huge amount of information flooded into his mind, and Lu Songling finally knew what these light spots were.
A civilization that once existed but has been destroyed, a civilization belonging to the human race.
Each point of light represents a period of human civilization.
Some of these human civilizations are similar, while others are very different.
"Mechas...spaceships...this kind of sci-fi human civilization exists and has developed to an extremely high level, but there are also non-technological civilizations that have also developed to a very high level."
"The largest civilization has hundreds of billions of people, while the smallest civilization has only a few thousand people."
"The longest civilizations have existed for several epochs, while the shortest civilizations have only a history of a few hundred years..."
"It can be said that I have witnessed the rise and fall of countless human civilizations. At the same time, I have also followed the light of these human civilizations and drifted to the deepest part of the void. There, there is a huge ball of light, a ball of light gathered by the light of human civilization..."
When recalling this scene, Lu Songling's face was moved.
"A light cluster that is so large that you cannot imagine it. A civilization is just a point of light. To make up this light cluster, it is conservatively estimated that there must be more than hundreds of millions of civilizations."
"Hundreds of millions?"
Lin Ye's face was also filled with emotion. They all said there were three thousand big worlds and three thousand small worlds, but if hundreds of millions were true, then there would be more than just three thousand big worlds.
Human beings, is the trajectory of existence so broad?
In his original conception, there might only be thousands of worlds, and not every world necessarily has humans.
He finally understood why the Book of Humanity could be formed despite such harsh conditions. With so many human civilizations, even if only a small number of them had developed a certain level of spiritual intelligence, that would be enough.
"I chose to touch that ball of light, and the result was the formation of the Book of Humanity, and I became the book spirit of the Book of Humanity. With this book, I will not die as long as the human race is not destroyed. Even as long as he is human, I can use the power of the Book of Humanity to describe his past and future."
This is why Lu Songling was able to train several disciples . He depicted the past and future of those disciples and changed their opportunities.
"Do you know why I chose you from the beginning? Because you are the only one for whom I borrowed the power of the Book of Humanity but could not describe the future and the past. You are special!"
"Unable to describe my past and future?"
Lin Ye didn’t expect that Lu Songling had tried to describe himself, but the Book of Humanity was so powerful, why couldn’t he describe him?
Am I not a human?
Lin Ye looked at his arms and legs. It didn't make sense. They were definitely signs of being human.
"Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities. One is that some existence has blocked everything about you, so no one can deduce it. The other possibility is that you are not a human. However, the second possibility is unlikely, so there is only the first possibility."
Lu Songling gave Lin Ye an explanation.
"Who can do it?" Lin Ye did not question Lu Songling's words, but asked the key question.
"I don't know." Lu Songling shook his head decisively : "If I knew, it wouldn't be so troublesome to solve the problem of Tianwaitian."
Speaking of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, Lin Ye frowned. According to Lao Shi and Lu Songling, this Book of Humanity is the gathering of so many human civilizations, and its power is so terrifying that even gods may not be its opponents. Why is it so difficult to deal with a Heaven Beyond Heaven?
"The power of the Book of Humanity is not so easy to borrow."
As if knowing what Lin Ye was wondering about, Lu Songling gave the answer without waiting for Lin Ye to ask: "Although I am the spirit of the Book of Humanity, I can only use a very small part of its power."
"I understand." Lin Ye said he understood, and then asked: "Mr. Lu, may I ask if there are gods in those hundreds of millions of human civilizations?"
An idea suddenly occurred to Lin Ye's mind: Is it possible that the world where hundreds of millions of civilizations exist is not in the same dimension as the many worlds that Lao Shi mentioned?
"Some civilizations have them, some don't, and those civilizations without gods either exist the longest or for a very short time, while human civilizations with gods can only be considered medium in duration."
"Why is there such a difference?" Lin Ye asked curiously.
"In the memories of those civilizations, any civilization with gods would eventually encounter a catastrophe of extinction. The reason is that under the protection of the gods, these human civilizations developed too fast, causing dissatisfaction from a certain existence."
"Heaven's Way." Lin Ye uttered two words.
Lu Songling looked at Lin Ye in surprise, then nodded: "Yes, it was the Heavenly Dao who took action."
