Volume 3 Chapter 203 This is a gift from God
"Could it be that this world was created not long ago? Is that why there are no old people and children?" Nanzhu guessed again.
"This is easy to verify. Just look at the history of this world and you will know." Lu Yao pointed to the historical division category not far away and said.
Looking at the densely packed books, it is obvious that this dream world was not just created, but has gone through a long history.
Just like the real world.
At this time, Lin Xu had already arrived at the historical area and began to browse.
He really wanted to know, if this was a logical and perfect world, how did it become what it is now?
But when he looked for books that recorded the oldest history, he only found some ancient myths and legends.
It records the story of how gods created the world three thousand years ago.
After careful searching, it was found that the oldest history in all the books only dated back to three thousand years ago, and the explanation for the beginning of the world was that God created the world. There was no second explanation.
The difference lies only in the description of the deity who created the world.
Some say that the god of creation is the Goddess of Life, and the world is a fruit in the palm of the Goddess of Life.
Some also say that the world is actually a dream of God, and all life is the elves in God's dream.
"The world is a dream of God, and someone actually guessed it right." Nanzhu also flipped through history books and read the records in them.
It was surprising to see someone speak the truth about this world.
While reading the history books, they gradually understood why the world is like this.
It all began a thousand years ago.
Because a thousand years ago, the gods came.
Yes, God has come, not any false God who uses the name of God.
But the real God.
Thus, the history of this world began to split into two parts a thousand years ago.
In the world a thousand years ago, people suffered from war, disease, hunger and other pains, struggling to survive.
But everything changed after the gods came a thousand years ago.
"The gods could not bear to see mortals suffer the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death, so they came to the world thousands of years ago and granted mortals eternal life. From then on, mortals were forever free from disease and hunger. And under the guidance of the gods, there was no more war, and the world entered an era of eternal happiness." Nanzhu read the records in the book with his eyes wide open.
"God came and granted immortality to mortals? Is this true?"
"Just look at the situation in this world and you will know. It is probably true. But who will be this god that descends? Is he the god born in this dream world? Or is he the consciousness of the Apocalypse Clan?" Lu Yao asked puzzledly.
"Lord Lin Xu, do you want to contact this descending god?" Nanzhu looked at Lin Xu.
At this time, Lin Xu had just put down the book in his hand. It was a Bible that had been published a thousand years ago. It recorded every word and action of the descending gods.
There are undoubtedly many beautified parts in this record, but even if you don't read the Bible, just look at the fact that this god has bestowed immortality on all mortals and allows all mortals to live happily in this world.
It can be seen that this god is full of kindness towards mortals.
So Lin Xu thought about it and made a decision.
"Let's go and meet this god."
"Do we really want to go? If this god is the consciousness of the Apocalypse Clan, what if he is awakened?" Nanzhu was a little hesitant.
"It's okay if he wakes up. Humans can seal him before he upgrades to another dimension. It's not impossible for me to seal him again now. It's just a little more troublesome! On the contrary, after seeing what he did in this dream, I became interested in the ideas of the Apocalypse Clan. He should be a very interesting person." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Okay, Lord Lin Xu, it's up to you to decide. I will always support your decision." Nanzhu raised his hands and cheered.
Lin Xu shook his head, so the group looked through various books for a while and specifically looked for records related to the gods' residences.
Lin Xu sighed again, this world in the dream is exactly the same as the real world.
Before leaving, Lin Xu hesitated for a moment, but still summoned a large number of nanorobots to record all the contents of the books.
After all, in such a strange dream world, Lin Xu always wanted to leave something behind, in case the owner of the dream woke up and nothing was left.
Although the nanorobots he used to record were only creations he imagined in his dreams, they were still able to record all the content and import it into the real nanorobots in his body. He could then wait until he left the consciousness of the Apocalypse Clan and export the content out of the nanorobots in his body.
It can also be regarded as a disguised way of making a civilization backup for this dream world.
If the owner of the dream really wakes up one day, even if this civilization no longer exists, at least there will be some traces of its existence left.
Then they left the library, got back on the hovercraft, left the city and flew away.
After several hours of flying, a more prosperous city floating in the air appeared in sight.
The biggest difference between this city and the previous smaller city is that there is another huge palace floating above this city.
And that palace is the residence of the gods.
The god lives in the temple, always watching over his people.
This is the glory from God, this is the blessing from God.
Today is the day to celebrate the one thousand and thirty-seventh anniversary of the God’s coming to the world.
It is also called the God’s birthday.
Countless God's people gathered in this prosperous city, decorated with lights and colors, preparing to welcome the God's procession which only happens once a year.
At that time, everyone will be lucky enough to see the sacred figure of the god from afar.
"God's birthday? We came at the right time." Nanzhu was strolling on the street and was infected by the warm atmosphere and became excited.
"Yes, we will see it in a while. Is the so-called god the god born in the dream, or the consciousness of the Apocalypse clan itself?" Lin Xu was also looking forward to it.
In this way, Nanzhu took Lu Yao to eat street snacks along the way, and did not forget to buy some back to share with Lin Xu, Mu Xiyue and Miss Qiu.
A few people enjoyed the festive atmosphere for a while, and soon the grand parade began.
As the protagonist of the parade, the God who is revered by the whole world will descend from the temple at the final stage of the parade, give a speech to all his people, and finally leave.
Lin Xu and his companions had already taken their seats in the square in the city center.
Until the parade finally arrived at the city center square, a large number of fireworks rose into the sky.
With the explosion of fireworks, a goddess who looked like a young girl finally descended from the sky in her best attire.
In an instant, cheers resounded through the sky and the celebration reached its climax.
"Is it a female? Lord Lin Xu, is the sealed member of the Apocalypse clan a male or a female?" Nanzhu asked.
"Is there any difference?" Lin Xu didn't understand why she asked this.
Isn't it the same whether it's a boy or a girl?
"Of course there is a difference. If the sealed Apocalypse tribe member is a male, and this female god is the manifestation of his own consciousness, does that mean that he subconsciously wishes he were a female?" Nanzhu's eyes lit up, with a gossipy gleam in his eyes.
"You little brat, can you please stop having those nonsense thoughts? We need to get down to business." Lin Xu stretched out his finger and flicked Nanzhu's forehead.
Nanzhu immediately covered his forehead with his hands and made a pitiful expression.
Just as a few people were preparing to quietly follow the god and find a chance to meet him alone.
Something happened that no one expected.
In the crowded crowd, several guards separated the dense crowd and came to Lin Xu and his companions. After confirming the identities of Lin Xu and his companions by comparing them with the tablet-like tools in their hands, they stepped forward and spoke directly.
"The God wants to see you." The guard looked at Lin Xu and the others with some confusion. He obviously didn't understand why the Lord God, who had not met anyone privately for a long time, would take the initiative to ask to meet these people.
Is there something special about them?
Lin Xu and others were also surprised.
"Are we exposed?" Nanzhu's eyes widened.
"Maybe." Lin Xu recalled that when he was in the library before, he couldn't help but use a large number of nanorobots to record the behavior of the library books.
"I underestimated her. After all, this is her dream world. When it comes to the degree of control over this world, we are indeed not as good as her." Lin Xu sighed.
However, since he had been discovered and the other party had taken the initiative to invite him, Lin Xu calmly accepted the fact that he had been discovered.
Then he took Miss Qiu, Nanzhu, Lu Yao and Mu Xiyue, and followed the guards to the back of the square, in front of a large aircraft.
"Aren't we going to see the gods? Where are you taking us? Are you trying to kill us secretly?" Nanzhu said without any concealment.
Successfully earned some unhappy looks from a few guards.
In this way, several people were brought to the large floating ship, which was more like a palace of God than a flying vehicle, and entered a luxurious reception room. Then several guards said goodbye.
Lin Xu and his companions waited here for a while before the door was opened. The god who looked like a beautiful girl whom they had just seen in the square appeared in front of Lin Xu and his companions.
A tall figure and outstanding looks are just the basics.
More importantly, it was her aura that belonged to a god. No matter where she went, she was naturally the focus.
Everyone's eyes would fall on her, but no one would feel the slightest desire to desecrate her.
She is so beautiful, yet so holy.
One just wants to praise her greatness.
Of course, these are the feelings of ordinary mortals.
Lin Xu and his companions could naturally remain unmoved, but they had to admit that this was a woman who exuded holiness from head to toe.
At this moment, as soon as she entered the reception room, her eyes fell on Lin Xu.
There was hesitation and doubt in his eyes.
Obviously, as a god, she should rarely have such hesitation and doubt.
"Who are you?" she asked directly.
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking about someone's identity?" Lin Xu asked with a smile.
However, Lin Xu's question again made the great god stunned for a moment.
After all these years, it seems that there has never been anyone who not only dares not to answer his own questions, but also asks himself questions.
"Me? I am a god. Do I need an introduction?" the goddess girl asked puzzledly.
"I know you are the god of this world, so what is your name?" Lin Xu continued to ask.
"Name? God is God. I don't need to have my own name like mortals." The god thought for a moment and spoke as if he had never thought about having a name.
"Is that so? Then do you know who you are? Apart from being the god of this world?" Lin Xu continued to ask.
"An identity other than God? I don't understand what you mean." The God frowned in confusion.
"So that's how it is. It seems you don't know anything about things outside this world." Lin Xu nodded in understanding.
"Things outside the world? You know things outside the world? Who are you?" The god's eyes lit up and he asked.
"My name is Lin Xu, and I'm a human being. We are indeed from outside the world." Lin Xu said as he confirmed the expression of the divine girl.
"Human? Outside the world?" The god's expression changed instantly.
"Have you thought of anything?" Lin Xu asked with a smile.
"Strange, I should be more interested in the world outside, but why does the word human make me so emotional?" The divine girl expressed her confusion.
"Yeah, who knows." Lin Xu agreed.
At the same time, he was also communicating in consciousness with Nanzhu, Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao through the nanorobots.
"She reacts to humans. Does this mean that she is the consciousness of the Apocalypse? Is it just because she fell asleep that she forgot who she is? Just like when we are in a dream, sometimes we can't remember who we are?" Nanzhu guessed.
"But this still cannot rule out the possibility that she was born in the dream of the Apocalypse Clan and is a relatively special conscious individual." Lu Yao said.
"Then how do you say we can be sure?" Nanzhu said unhappily at Lu Yao's sabotage.
"There's no way to be sure. We can only see if there's more evidence." Lu Yao said calmly.
While the two were arguing in their consciousness, the conversation between Lin Xu and the divine girl entered the next stage.
Unable to understand why he reacted to the word "human", the divine girl did not delve into it further and continued to ask about things outside the world.
"Are you from outside the world? What is outside the world? How did you enter this world?" The divine girl asked with great interest and eager to try.
"We found a special passage and came in." Lin Xu replied.
"A special passage? Impossible. Every corner of this world is under my surveillance. There can't be a passage that I don't know about." The divine girl frowned.
"So it is a special channel. If you can find it, it is not a special channel." Lin Xu continued without blushing or panting.
"Is this so? Then where is this passage? Can I go outside the world through it?" The divine girl was extremely interested in the world outside.
She was like an ordinary girl who had been trapped in a small room for thousands of years, and she yearned for the outside world very much.
"That's not clear. We can pass through that passage, but the gods may not be able to pass through." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"It's okay. I can let my people go first. They will help me find a way to pass." The divine girl was full of confidence.
"Well, the world outside is very different from here. I'm afraid your people won't be able to get used to it when they go there." Lin Xu said after thinking for a while.
"Different? What's the difference?" When the divine girl heard this, she became even more eager to try.
"People in the outside world cannot achieve eternal life." Lin Xu said as he carefully observed the expression of the divine girl.
“Can’t live forever? Just like this world a thousand years ago?” The divine girl began to frown.
"Yes." Lin Xu nodded.
"Filled with killing, betrayal, disease and death?" The divine girl continued to confirm.
"Yes." Lin Xu nodded again.
Then, the divine girl fell silent.
He spoke after a moment.
“I don’t like this world.”
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are natural phenomena." Lin Xu said with some confusion.
"But I just don't like it. Don't you think it's too cruel?" The divine girl looked at Lin Xu with stubbornness in her eyes.
Lin Xu didn't know which part of the sealed Apocalypse clan this girl represented.
But, if she really is the true thoughts deep in the heart of the sealed Apocalypse Clan.
Then the bet between her and humans probably needs another explanation.
"Why do I feel that this person is a bit naive?" Nanzhu complained silently in his mind.
" After all, they are members of the Apocalypse clan. Can't you give them some face?" Lu Yao complained about Nanzhu's complaints.
"But this is really a bit naive." Nanzhu still insisted.
"Okay, never mind whether he's naive or not, I just feel like he's not the villain that I imagined at the beginning." Mu Xiyue also started to complain.
And the conversation between Lin Xu and the divine girl is still going on.
"So, since a thousand years ago, you have made it so that the people in this world no longer have to suffer the pain of birth, aging, sickness and death, and have given them what you think is eternal happiness?" Lin Xu suddenly felt that he didn't know how to face this Apocalypse Clan, which could be said to be a bit naive.
Although she in the dream may be just one of her many faces, dreams can also be said to be the subconscious of intelligent life.
But the subconscious mind cannot deceive people.
"Isn't this good? Everyone is happy now. Wouldn't it be good if everyone could stay happy like this ?" The divine girl asked back.
"Very good, but this can only exist in your world. It won't work in the outside world." Lin Xu also felt a little emotional.
"No? Why?" the divine girl asked puzzled.
"Because the world outside is too big, and there are too many variables, so many that you cannot control them, and so many that if you violate the laws of nature, you will be backlashed sooner or later. Moreover, you have given them eternal life, an eternal life that comes easily and is not achieved through hard work, it also kills the possibility of a race's progress, doesn't it?" Lin Xu shook his head, indicating that he could not agree.
"I, don't understand." The divine girl frowned and shook her head.
"If you don't understand, then you don't understand. You are just a god in this world. This is good enough." Lin Xu said with a smile.
However, the divine girl was obviously not satisfied with Lin Xu's statement.
"Tell me where the passage is?" the divine girl asked.
"It's no use telling you, no one in this world can leave, neither you nor your people." Lin Xu shook his head and said.
"Don't want to tell? It doesn't matter, you will tell it." The divine girl had obviously lost her patience and turned to leave the reception room.
Afterwards, a large group of guards came in and escorted Lin Xu and others away.
"Where are you taking us?" Nanzhu immediately became unhappy.
Instead, Lin Xu waved his hand, signaling her to be patient.
Only then did Nanzhu calm down.
Then he followed the guards outside. At this time, the airship had already arrived above the temple.
After they got off the airship, they were taken into a palace and were temporarily placed under house arrest.
Without waiting for the guards to leave, Nanzhu had already asked the question in his consciousness through the nanorobots.
"Master Lin Xu, why don't you take action?"
"We don't need to do anything. This world is already counting down." Lin Xu sighed.
"Countdown? What does that mean?" Nanzhu was puzzled.
"The dream is about to end."
As if to serve as a footnote to Lin Xu's words, the collapse of the world began.
