Volume 3 Chapter 275: Rights and Obligations of Mankind
"In this way, it is reasonable that the surviving high-dimensional humans are unaware of some of the things that those humans who sacrificed themselves for the purpose of upgrading have done behind the scenes." Wang Jian continued to explain.
"Indeed, but isn't this unfair to them?" Lin Xu admitted that this was a good idea, but emotionally he couldn't accept it.
"In order to upgrade the dimension, we have sacrificed a lot, including scientists, soldiers, scholars, and every ordinary citizen, but upgrading the dimension is the choice of all mankind. Because there is no fairness in upgrading the dimension. For that glimmer of hope, countless races have come forward one after another, and for them, being able to allow mankind to survive is the greatest fairness." Wang Jian replied.
Lin Xu had nothing to say about this answer.
"Wait a minute, if that's the case, then why did your shadow appear in history?" Lin Xu discovered the blind spot again.
"It's very simple. Those shadows are fragments of shadows created by my wife based on the me before we met. Isn't it reasonable for her to leave the old me in the ruins?" Wang Jian replied.
"Your wife? She?" Lin Xu realized something.
"She died during the first activation experiment of the Space Crossing Fortress."
"My condolences."
"It's nothing, it's all in the past. And after her death, she can still contribute to human history. I believe she will only be happy." There was a sense of relief in Wang Jian's tone.
"Okay, tell me, what exactly do you need me to do?" Lin Xu took a deep breath and said to Wang Jian, who was communicating with him with the help of high-dimensional fragments.
Although he didn't know whether the current form of Wang Jian's high-dimensional body was still the same as when he was a human, he still looked straight ahead and pretended that Wang Jian was right in front of him.
Wang Jian also cooperated. Opposite him, in the pure white space, a phantom emitting a faint white glow condensed.
"It's actually very simple. Just do what you are doing now." Wang Jian replied.
"What am I doing now? You mean, dominating?" Lin Xu suddenly realized something.
"Yes, but it's more than just the Overlord." Wang Jian continued.
"Not just the Overlord? Could it be all the transcendent civilizations? No, it shouldn't be." Lin Xu asked first, then denied it himself.
"The pursuit of dimensional upgrading is a natural right that every civilization should have. Although the hope is slim, it should not be denied. But the pursuit of dimensional upgrading should not be at the expense of depriving other races of the opportunity to upgrade their dimensions." Wang Jian replied.
"Seize the opportunity of other races to upgrade their dimensions? Do you mean to destroy the universe like the Overlord?" Lin Xu nodded in understanding.
"Yes, when the Overlord destroys a universe, it is equivalent to depriving countless civilizations of the opportunity to upgrade. From a higher-dimensional perspective, by doing so, the Overlord is actually blocking the possibility of his own upgrading. The Overlord is completely unable to upgrade. Maybe he himself has realized it, but he can no longer turn back. He even has to keep running on this wrong path. At this time, he needs some higher-dimensional restraining force to help him step on the brakes." Wang Jian explained.
"High-dimensional inhibitory force, so I am that high-dimensional inhibitory force?" Lin Xu nodded to show that he understood.
"No, it's not that simple. But you can simply understand it this way. Some things are difficult to explain to you before you personally reach the higher dimension, so it's better for you to understand it this way." Wang Jian said with disapproval, but also agreement.
"But I still don't understand. If we become a being similar to a high-dimensional inhibitory force, will it be of any help to humans in the high-dimensional world? We have already been upgraded to a higher dimension. Will things in the low dimension still affect us who exist in the high dimension?" Lin Xu asked puzzledly.
"It won't have any impact, but humans are the first race to ascend from a low dimension to a high dimension as a whole. We can even say that we represent the will of countless civilizations in the endless universe that are striving for survival, development, and even upgrading. So we must maintain the will of this civilization to strive for progress, because it is equivalent to maintaining our own will."
“What’s the point?”
"You don't understand it now, but when you ascend to a higher dimension, you will understand that higher-dimensional races need an anchor to anchor themselves, and this will of never giving up, never retreating, and always pursuing a higher level is the anchor of mankind." Wang Jian replied.
"Wait a minute, the Apocalypse tribe is reducing its dimension?" Lin Xu suddenly realized something.
"Yes, the Apocalypse Clan lost their anchor point, so they had to choose dimensionality reduction. But also because they are a naturally high-dimensional race and do not have enough understanding of low dimensions, so there are so many flaws in the way they prepare for themselves." Wang Jian replied.
"Then, if the low-dimensional races in the endless universe no longer strive to make progress, will humans also be downgraded?" Lin Xu suddenly felt a little frightened.
"No, the anchor point has nothing to do with the many civilizations in the low-dimensional universe. It is purely the will of human beings themselves. If one day, the endless low-dimensional universe is destroyed and there are no low-dimensional races striving for progress, as long as human beings themselves still maintain this will, human beings will not be reduced in dimension. However, this is not a reason for us to allow the low-dimensional universe to degenerate. Even if there is a possibility that the low-dimensional degeneration will affect human will, we must avoid it. Moreover, we also hope that there will be more and more companions." Wang Jian explained.
"I understand. Having enough companions will also be beneficial to our development in higher dimensions." Lin Xu nodded.
" Yes, we respect any possibility," Wang Jian replied.
"So, we also have enemies in the higher dimension, right?" Lin Xu has realized something.
"That's right, the higher dimensions are infinite, but the known higher-dimensional races are limited." Wang Jian's shadow seemed to nod.
"How many?" Lin Xu asked.
"Four, including humans," Wang Jian replied.
"Only four?" Lin Xu was a little surprised. In the endless higher dimension that was even vaster than the ocean of the multiverse, there were only four higher-dimensional races. Although according to Wang Jian, these were the only known races.
"In addition, there are some high-dimensional individuals, but they are not races, so they are not included." Wang Jian replied.
"The Apocalypse race descended in dimension, while humans ascended in dimension? And the other three races are all born high-dimensional races?" Lin Xu had some guesses.
"Yes, just as you said, the dimensionality reduction of the Apocalypse Clan is too coincidental with the dimensionality increase of humans. It is also possible that humans have replaced the Apocalypse Clan in the higher dimensions." Wang Jian nodded.
"So , the other three high-dimensional races are also worried that they will be replaced by low-dimensional races?" Lin Xu understood something.
"There is indeed such concern, but the two high-dimensional races among them, as we say, are more Buddhist, so we are just a little worried and have no plans to do anything." Wang Jian shook his head and said.
"In other words, there is still a higher-dimensional race that is ready to take action?" Lin Xu understood the implication.
"That's right." Wang Jian replied.
"What are they going to do?"
"It's very simple. Completely destroy the endless low-dimensional universe, eliminate the possibility of low-dimensional civilizations appearing, and also eliminate the possibility of them being replaced by low-dimensional civilizations. And this must first start with seizing the endless civilizations of the low-dimensional universe and the possibility of upgrading dimensions. Then, destroy the low-dimensional universe bit by bit."
"So, there is actually a higher-dimensional civilization behind the Domination?" Lin Xu was really shocked this time.
"No, the master is not qualified yet, but the will of higher-dimensional civilizations will indeed affect the choices of civilizations in the endless universe. Just as, because of human beings' dimensional upgrading and striving for progress, the multiverse has been affected." Wang Jian replied.
"So, the low-dimensional universe has no meaning to the higher-dimensional existence. But the will of the higher-dimensional existence can affect the low-dimensional universe?" Lin Xu concluded.
"Yes, for higher-dimensional existence, the low-dimensional universe is dispensable. Even for modern humans, the existence of the low-dimensional universe is of little significance." Wang Jian said frankly.
"But we are still trying to prevent the low-dimensional universe from being destroyed and to completely eliminate the possibility of civilization upgrading," Lin Xu answered quickly.
"Yes, the path of civilization and progress should not be blocked. This is our will and our persistence." Wang Jian's answer was simple.
But Lin Xu already understood.
The effort to fight for a glimmer of hope for low-dimensional civilization to upgrade to another dimension is also a process for human beings to implement their own will.
Only by constantly implementing one's own will can one avoid falling into depravity one day.
And he, Lin Xu, exists to help mankind realize this will.
After all, humans who have already upgraded their dimensions can no longer return to a lower dimension.
So many things are difficult to do.
But with Lin Xu, some things became much easier to handle with his help.
"So, my mission is to eliminate all external forces that hinder civilization from striving to move forward, right?" Lin Xu finally had a clear idea of what he was going to do.
"Yes." Wang Jian replied.
"But the endless universe is so big, can I really do it alone?" Lin Xu hesitated.
"You just need to continue moving in the previous direction. After dealing with the matter of the Dominant, continue to the universe where the next human remains are located. We have arranged everything for you." Wang Jian no longer concealed and said very bluntly.
"It seems that you have arranged everything for me." Lin Xu said with a smile.
“But you also have to be careful. What you encounter next may involve the intervention of a real high-dimensional civilization. Don’t rush to the higher dimension to report to us before you finish your work,” Wang Jian reminded.
"I understand. But I'm still very curious. Am I really the only one here?" Lin Xu nodded and continued to ask.
Because he thought of what Wang Jian's shadow said when he first met it when he was still in the Milky Way.
During the human cryogenics program that Lin Xu experienced, a batch of cryogenic hibernation chambers disappeared before the voyage began.
The disappearance of those freezers was inexplicable and there was no clue, and Lin Xu was one of the missing.
Looking back now, the missing hibernation chambers should be the result of future high-dimensional humans manipulating historical nodes.
Then it is impossible that the high-dimensional humans in the future would have spent so much effort and manipulated history to lose a batch of frozen hibernation chambers just for Lin Xu.
Where did the rest of the hibernation chambers go?
Could it be that they were thrown into different universes to perform different missions?
Thinking about it this way, he is lucky to be left on Earth.
"Guess?" Wang Jian did not answer.
But Lin Xu heard a smile in his voice.
Lin Xu was about to continue asking questions, but the next moment the pure white space around him began to gradually dissipate.
"Hey, are you sure it's going to end like this?" Lin Xu had already realized something and said unhappily.
"This piece of high-dimensional fragment remains, and it can only last here. The low dimension cannot withstand the arrival of the real high-dimensional existence, and I can only communicate with you with the help of this fragment. Unfortunately, even so, the time is limited. But it doesn't matter, when you find the human remains in the next universe, we will see each other again. I wish you good luck, but don't come to us too early." Wang Jian finally reminded with a smile.
It can be heard that this communication with Lin Xu made him very happy.
"Oh, right, the Apocalypse people, those who followed humans through the universe and left? They are secretly rebellious." Lin Xu seized the last chance and asked. Although he felt that he didn't need to remind them that the Apocalypse people were secretly rebellious, after all, humans have been upgraded and they would not be unaware of this, he still said it quickly.
"If you have the chance, you will meet them. Don't be anxious. We have plenty of time. The birth and death of the universe is just a moment for us. Everything exists to increase your experience. In the future, you will slowly understand it." Wang Jian's voice disappeared completely.
The pure white space around was also completely shattered.
When they reappeared, Lin Xu and his companions were already in this new universe-traveling fortress. There were only various high-speed rail pillars around them, but no high-dimensional debris.
"Lord Lin Xu, what happened just now? It feels so strange." Nanzhu, who was standing aside, felt as if she had just had a dream. After waking up, she quickly hugged Lin Xu's arm.
"It's a high-dimensional fragment. It seems that this level is a bit beyond your understanding." Lin Xu stretched out his hand and rubbed Nanzhu's fox ears and said.
When low-dimensional races are placed in high-dimensional environments, they will go crazy in a very short time because they cannot understand anything in the high-dimensional environments.
It's like forcing the knowledge of advanced mathematics into the head of an ant.
There is no need to even be in a higher dimension. Even just observing the chaotic energy, the materialized object of high-dimensional power obtained from high dimensions, will drive low-dimensional intelligent life into madness because of their inability to understand.
Although Nanzhu and the others, as human relatives, are immune to the madness caused by high dimensions, they still don't understand it, especially when they are directly in the high-dimensional fragments.
Therefore, just feeling that you had a dream and not remembering the content of the dream when you wake up is already a good situation.
Of course, Arisa is not yet a human family member, but as a former high-dimensional being, even if she has been reduced in dimension now, she still has some immunity.
But after waking up from the dream, I felt a little more groggy than Nanzhu and the others.
Afterwards, it was Lin Xu who explained to them, and they finally understood what had just happened.
"No wonder those shadows of Wang Jian are all alone, without even a female companion." Nanzhu sighed first after listening to it.
Lin Xu had a strange expression on his face. He hadn't thought of this before. He only realized it .
Yes, those shadows were left by his wife, how could she have arranged for him to have female companions?
I can only say that Nanzhu is indeed a vixen, her angle is tricky enough.
"Four high-dimensional races?" Arisa's tone was a little complicated, especially when she knew that the status of the Apocalypse Clan had been replaced by humans, it became even more complicated.
After the high-dimensional fragments disappeared, Lin Xu temporarily lost the channel to communicate with high-dimensional humans.
But at the same time, this universe-traveling fortress also came back to life.
Amidst the rumbling roar, the surface formed by meteorite impacts over who knows how many years was shattered, and countless buildings left on it by civilizations all collapsed and disappeared, then drifted away into the universe.
The space-travel fortress, which had shaken off all the dust on its surface, stood side by side in this galaxy with another space-travel fortress that Lin Xu brought out from the original universe.
Two space-traveling fortresses, plus a star, form a triple star system.
Lin Xu named the newly discovered space-crossing fortress Fortress No. 2.
The original one was Fortress No. 1.
If Fortress No. 1 had not activated the anti-gravity shielding device to block its own gravity, the addition of such a massive planet to the galaxy would have caused problems with the movement of planets in the entire galaxy.
Of course, after Fortress No. 2 left with Lin Xu, there would definitely be problems with the operation of the planet. Fortunately, there is no intelligent life in this galaxy, otherwise it would be another trouble.
Compared with Fortress No. 1, Fortress No. 2 has many new technologies, especially those related to high dimensions.
After reading the database of Yinghuo, the vortex positioning device of high-dimensional power from outer universe that Lin Xu urgently needed was quickly found.
"High-dimensional power vortex? This name is interesting." Lin Xu looked at the name of the instrument reported by Yinghuo thoughtfully.
"Lord Lin Xu, based on the high-dimensional beacons extracted from the conquerors of the Domination Realm, we have already locked down the location of the Domination Realm in the outer universe." Nanzhu reported excitedly.
"It's time to deal with the Overlord. Let's go." Lin Xu ordered.
"Lord Lin Xu, is this where the Lord God is?" Nanzhu asked.
"Issue a mission to encircle and suppress the Dominant Conqueror." Lin Xu thought for a moment and decided.
So, while the universe-traveling fortress opened the universe barrier and entered the outer universe, a large number of players in the main god space, stimulated by a large amount of points rewards, began a campaign to encircle and suppress the conquerors of the dominant realm.
