Chapter 555: Gentle Exchange with the Fayya People
This backdoor can still be used.
Yang Ming remained calm. At this moment, his body - the virtual thinking body in the City of Light, sat behind the table motionless, just letting the scene in front of him keep changing.
He connected to a world that was both familiar and strange.
It felt familiar because every time he faced the space Zerg, he would see this light and shadow and these starlights.
Yang Ming felt Posu's presence, and Posu was also observing this place curiously.
They were close, they just couldn't see each other directly.
There was a flickering light among the stars, and three transparent figures appeared in front of Yang Ming.
Fayyad.
They have body shapes close to those of humans, but they themselves are just a transparent ball of light.
Unlike Yang Ming's previous two meetings with them, the Faya people who appeared in this space had a group of entangled lights inside their bodies, either in the chest, neck, or brain.
A true Faya individual is formed by the collective dimensional upgrading of a biological civilization, enveloping an entire large galaxy cluster.
The Faya people who now appeared in front of Yang Ming were just three fragments of thinking differentiated from this individual, responsible for three projects. For the sake of ease of understanding, they were also called Faya people.
The three Fayats spoke at the same time:
"Hello, Forerunner No. 1."
"Hello, the controller of the Falling Wind Alliance."
"Hello, Yang Ming."
Apparently, one of the Faya people was meeting Yang Ming for the first time, replacing the one who had previously used Hera to "experiment with endowing the Zerg with emotions."
The Fayyad in the middle introduces himself:
"Nice to meet you. I am mainly responsible for the political system regulation project of the human civilization sector in the Milky Way. This is the channel I opened for Levi Sherman back then. Because I saw that you would arrive here at this time, I kept this channel to communicate with you this time."
The Faya Road on the left:
"You must have a lot of doubts now, Forerunner. In fact, you have interfered too deeply in the human civilization of the Milky Way, which has affected the normal development of the Greenhouse Civilization Trial Project.
"I must remind you that you need to deal with Levi Sherman, this troublesome mechanical thinking body, as soon as possible, and then prepare to do your job - the mission of advancement."
The Fayya man on the right laughed and said:
“I won’t give you any more tips!
"Because of that time when I contacted you without permission, I have been warned that returning to the main thinking body and then differentiating is not a reward."
Boss Yang, who had been frowning all the time, suddenly smiled brightly.
"I was just curious and tried it. I didn't expect that I could really communicate with you all... Well, now that I'm here, I have a few questions."
"We choose to communicate with you to answer your questions."
The Faya in the middle said:
“I can see that you are a little confused now.
“From your perspective, Levi Sherman’s legendary life is indeed enough to inspire admiration in you.
“But in reality, all his actions are for his own satisfaction and self-interest.
“He never thought about the collective, and he did not have the quality of self-sacrifice when the collective needed it, which was the fundamental reason for his failure.
"In addition, I can explain to you a fact that there is no need to explain to you. It was Levi Sherman who provoked us first, which led to our expulsion, forced dimensionality reduction, and the loss of his mecha's ability to resonate in space and time."
Yang Ming nodded slowly: "I actually have a hunch about this. Levi Sherman is used to being an emperor. He wants to conquer wherever he sees, including higher-dimensional civilizations."
“That’s understandable.”
The Fayyad in the middle continued:
"But in fact, Levi Sherman has also shown qualities that are worthy of our admiration, but these qualities are too insignificant for a civilization."
“From the perspective of the universe, there is only the survival and destruction of civilization, but no individual development and feelings.”
Yang Ming asked: "Now, I just need to find Levi and release the butterfly you gave me, and that will complete the mission?"
The Faya in the middle said: "Yes, it's very simple. Li also wants to kill Levi. Levi himself doesn't have much desire to live."
"I have a question," Yang Ming said, "If Levi dies, Li will break free. Li's fleet and hundreds of billions of mechanical thinking bodies will invade the entire galaxy and take crazy revenge, right?"
The three Fayya people nodded simultaneously.
"On every event line we can see, the probability of this event occurring approaches '1'."
"So, what are you going to do to stop her?"
Yang Ming said:
"I actually know where Levi is. He is not far from me. That bald uncle, the teacher Bardoli who appeared in front of me at a subtle time and tried to guide my thoughts thirty-nine times, is Levi.
“I originally just thought that he was Li’s clone, or Li’s subordinate.
"But later, he kept promoting the so-called Cosmic Truth Investigation Society, which gave me strong hints and obsessions. He tried to guide me to re-understand the Faya civilization, right?"
"Yes."
The Fayya man in the middle said, "You are smarter than we thought. He thinks we are the hegemons."
"What he did was too obvious. Moreover, after I used the back door of the City of Light, you all showed up to see me immediately. You probably wanted to guide me, or give me some precautions."
Yang Ming squinted and smiled:
"If you have any advice for me, please tell me. You know, I have to fight for my hometown with everything."
The Fayya man in the middle suddenly laughed.
Yes, he expressed obvious emotions directly.
He laughed:
"Yang Ming, Lord White Ghost, I have previously played the role of an old noble in the Sherman Empire. This is a privilege granted to me by this experimental project. I can always appear in various political systems of human civilization in the Milky Way.
"I have heard you say this more than once in order to deceive the dignitaries of the Sherman Empire. You know, I have the mission of a pioneer, and now I just want to gain a foothold in the empire and protect my hometown.
"Ha ha ha ha!
"I'm sorry, Yang Ming, but I don't think you are planning to gain a foothold in our Faya civilization and then destroy us, right?"
"This!" Yang Ming pursed his lips, frowned, spread his hands and shrugged, "This is simply the most unfunny joke I have ever heard. Faya is a level 5.5 civilization. I just... to put it bluntly, if you can agree to let my home planet enter the Milky Way without taking an exam, then I..."
"That's impossible."
The Fayya man on the left immediately said:
“Every pioneer has the same aspirations as you, but this is absolutely impossible.
“Faya’s Game is the core component of the Law of Seeding Civilization, which is one of our seven basic laws.
"The so-called basic laws are the principles we will never violate. If there are non-basic laws that conflict with the basic laws, we must give priority to following the seven basic laws. These are the provisions of the three original agreements."
Yang Ming sighed, "Can't we talk about this at all?"
"The probability of your home planet passing is very low. I suggest you lower your expectations."
"No," Yang Ming's expression was a little serious, "We touched the space-time bubble by accident! Isn't it too rough to use touching the space-time bubble as a criterion for judgment? There is something wrong with this mechanism itself!"
The Faya Road on the left:
"No, the mechanism is sound. After touching the space-time bubble, our project's inspectors evaluated your planet and found it meets the minimum standards for participating in the Faya Game Project.
“The problems on your planet stem from the relatively primitive social system and the serious uneven distribution of resources. Every planet has a similar process in its development.
“Also, you may have some misunderstanding.
“We have always said that the Earth’s competitiveness is too weak due to comprehensive considerations.
"First, your technological level has not yet reached the level of being able to fully utilize all the energy of the planet. Therefore, after you entered the trial space of "The Abyss", the speed at which you accepted various types of information and technology was relatively slow.
"Second, your social development is lagging behind, and you cannot form an effective planetary coalition government in a short period of time. It will take you at least 20 years to build something like a planetary parliament. Although there are many people on Earth, their education levels are seriously uneven.
"Third, the above two problems will severely restrict the performance of Earth civilization in the Abyss. Each trial has a unified deadline, and the competition is based on the points ranking. When you first try to unite yourselves, other greenhouse civilizations will inevitably interfere with you.
"We have already agreed to one condition of yours. The replies of the other four forerunners to their own civilizations will be sent out 0.5 standard galactic years before the start of this trial, while you can send it out 1.5 standard galactic years before the start.
“This is the maximum support we can give you in view of your outstanding contributions to our various projects.
"Yang Ming, you have already done what you can. There is no need to add more."
Yang Ming was silent.
The Faya on the right sighed: "We know that this is hard to accept, but it has to be accepted... and, Yang Ming, I can tell you in secret."
The Fayya people in the center and on the left looked over at the same time.
"Just a little bit," the Faya man on the right muttered in the Galactic language, "This is our powerful warrior against the Zerg. After he arrives in the higher-dimensional world, he will have to grow, gain experience, and obtain true biological power. We should pay attention to his mental journey."
The other two Faya people nodded simultaneously.
The Faya Road on the right:
"Yang Ming, the higher-dimensional world will overturn your understanding of the universe. When you look at the universe now, it looks like a sphere enveloping you. In fact, when you step into the higher-dimensional world, you will be in the membrane of this sphere. What you see are countless spheres rotating at the same time and interconnected with each other. Time will no longer have any meaning to you, and you will need to re-understand information and matter.
“Your family lives in one of these spheres.
“The sphere will not disappear, it will always exist, but the information inside will change.
"When you have accumulated enough merit, you can pull your family's information out of the solidified sphere and send it to a corner you think is safe."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.
"This is not a promise," said the Faya on the right. "This is just something you can do after you complete the dimensional upgrade. Of course, the premise is that you must have enough energy."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Well, man, you always find ways to make me sincerely convinced by you. I suddenly start to look forward to upgrading my dimension."
"Well," said the Faya in the middle, "now, you just need to do the simplest thing, find Levi and release the butterfly."
The Fayya on the left said, "You must do this as soon as possible. We have completely given up on Precursor No. 5. We have arranged for Precursor No. 2 to assassinate her... We occasionally encounter such particularly negative individuals, which confirms the diversity of primitive human genes."
Yang Ming groaned for a few seconds: "Let's go back to the question I asked at the beginning. When Levi dies, the imprisonment will be released... How do the Faya people want to deal with this third natural disaster?"
"This is a test, a test for the human civilization in the Milky Way."
"This is also a punishment. The human civilization in the Milky Way tolerated the Sherman Empire for tens of thousands of years without solving the problem. The energy accumulated by the empire is erupting outward, which is also a kind of energy cycle."
"From all the events we have seen so far, this war will eventually break out. The only difference is how much loss there will be. We will try to reduce human casualties in the middle and late stages of the war."
"When Levi dies, we will give information to the top twenty political entities in the galaxy."
"If you can find a way to kill Li, it would be a great help to the human civilization in the Milky Way. However, we will not make similar requests of you. This is a topic for other project teams, and you already have too many projects."
Yang Ming sighed: "I don't know how many humans will die because of this."
“Civilization is not going away.”
“Individual life is just a form of matter. What is precious is that life gives birth to thought.”
"Do you have anything else to ask, Yang Ming?"
"If I ascend to a higher dimension, should I just hug Posha?"
"Posha has found a way to upgrade the dimension, similar to the fusion you used to fight against the queen. You need to carry out it in the current dimension... You know what I mean."
Yang Ming leaned back: "Well, I can't avoid turning into a tumor monster."
After saying that, he smiled, waved to a few people, and closed his eyes.
The light in the dormitory returned to normal.
Yang Ming sighed softly, stretched out his left hand, and a butterfly appeared in his palm.
In the space where Yang Ming had just stayed, three Faya people’s thought fragments were exchanging information.
If their communication is translated into Galactic language, it would be something like:
"Did we tell Precursor One too much information?"
"He is different from Levi. He is a very good individual. His thoughts tend to be collectivist. His thinking is similar to ours."
"Levi is just a blind and ignorant human individual, but Yang Ming is not. Po Su also likes Yang Ming very much."
"You have poured too much emotion into Po Su, and your main thinking is almost influenced by you."
"Oh, man, haven't you seen how lovely Posa is? Especially when she really unfolds herself, she is simply the ultimate microcosm of life. She will definitely become the most powerful anti-insect warrior we have ever trained."
"Be prepared to notify the various political bodies."
"Do you really need to notify me? I have an energy indicator here. It requires the energy of about 62 billion humans. The counterattack of the rationale can at least meet the indicator requirements."
"Do other sectors also have energy indicators? Is the recent offensive of the space Zerg a little too strong?"
"We just need to take care of our own projects and don't need to worry about these . Since we just told Yang Ming that we would notify the various political entities, we must do it, otherwise we would be lying. Lying thought fragments will be recycled."
"Alas, this mechanical thinking body of Li is actually quite good. She has great potential and could very well be absorbed into our tribe. What a pity."
“What a pity.”
“What a pity.”
…
In the dormitory, the butterfly mark on Boss Yang’s palm was flickering slightly.
He slowly stood up, turned around and walked out of the dormitory.
