"You are all quite big." Luo Binhan said. He was not afraid now, but he became very puzzled and hoped that someone could give him some hints, but Asabam was far away, and Garfield also avoided Upsilon.
"Does Mr. Zhou Yu know the history of my hometown? It's not about the promotion after the establishment of the Guardian of Light, but what happened to my hometown and ancestors before that, before I met the civilizations of the alliance."
Luo Binhan nodded hesitantly. He did still remember the small class on the history of the Kingdom of Light carefully prepared for him. But after he thought about it carefully, he shook his head decisively. Yes, he had heard about calculus and linear algebra, but that didn't mean he understood them. They just happened to be in the same classroom as him. As for the Eternal Light Realm, the Kingdom of Light, those emerald green, smooth and shiny glass-like stars, Marin's description of his hometown is still in his ears. Even so, he couldn't imagine how they were formed.
"You burn your stars into glass," he said honestly. "It sounds quite obsessive."
"Haha, that's true, Mr. Zhou Yu. I have only heard about this matter in school, and I have no real feeling at all. But all the historical records that can be found do describe it this way. A long time ago, I The ancestors are not the 'Yongguang Clan' in the literal sense. In terms of various physiological characteristics, they are pan-sapient races that have undergone several sublimation transformations. The so-called breeding and clothing development was only a very partial method at that time. The Ether Control Extension Project was done to crack and utilize the laws of law. I use the word 'cracking' because my ancestors at that time did not believe that magic was a natural thing. Although all laws of nature looked like Life is actually just a 'phenomenon'. That is to say, it is the same as starlight shining on the ground, or stones being blown away by the wind. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Normal stones wouldn't chat with me." Luo Binhan said.
"That's right. However, the illusion of 'thinking that each other can communicate' also exists, right? For example, although some creatures do not understand each other's language, they can accurately imitate the sounds they hear, and it sounds like they are talking to each other. We communicate the same. Of course, this kind of imitation is still easy to see through, but what if Mr. Zhou Yu built it yourself? If you are now in a machine that hypnotizes people to dream, most of the time, that machine It won't interfere with your thinking, but it will make you make up a friend who doesn't exist at all. He is completely involved in your life, leaving traces in all your memories, and you remember every word he said. , every preference - but this person cannot actually be called a 'life', it is just a derivative of you, Mr. Zhou Yu. It is the machine that gave you, Mr. Zhou Yu, a constant and long-term delusion."
Luo Binhan twisted uneasily. It was not difficult for him to understand what Upsilon said, but he didn't like the metaphor.
"...For my ancestors, they believed that regularity was a phenomenon, a powerful hallucination created by some advanced machine. Only the weak of mind would believe it. But it is different from hypnosis for individuals. , many laws are composed of the common imagination of 'real life forms', for example, light, darkness, death, life, violence...the collection of laws composed of concepts like this, in some theories of the alliance is classified as an 'original species', and the machine that creates this illusion - let's just regard it as a certain kind of machine - is correspondingly called the 'Advanced Infinite Wishing Machine' and the 'Natural Index Specific Twist Point' , 'Abyss Machine'... If there is no distant domain theory, the concept of 'spiritual field source' is the closest. Of course, these theories are actually much more complicated than what I said, because if we want to define it by 'real life' , aren't all living beings just machines with complex structures? In order to prove that there is an essential difference between 'real life' and 'imaginary life', in other words, only the rational kind is the real life. For this reason The price paid was huge. The many invasions carried out by the White Tower before joining the alliance, the occult wars with the alliance, the joint contracts, the moral wars, as well as the several moral wars and foreign conflicts launched in the past ten months , can all be said to be related to this theory.”
Luo Binhan shrugged. He didn't think he showed any emotion about it, but the giant laughed.
"That's the expression, Mr. Zhou Yu. Sometimes you look like an alien friend of mine. He is Farah Enlundo's monster hunter, and in layman's terms, he is the Space Ranger. Although he usually seems carefree, whenever I mention it, When he did something unjust, he had a particularly contemptuous expression on his face. But when I asked him about it, he would never admit it directly. But why should he pretend not to care? In order to let others admit his truth. And killing lives is absurd, wrong, and can be said to be sinful. Why can't he express his feelings openly? Mr. Zhou Yu, can you tell me the answer? "
Luo Binhan was simply at a loss. He didn't have any defense against this question, but the other party didn't make it difficult for him. Upsilon seemed to just ask casually, and soon took the initiative to say: "I understood later, because he believed that this matter was irreversible. His original words were this: Everyone wants to prove themselves Correct, everyone will do whatever it takes to do this. Life itself is such a despicable thing, so any despicable behavior is not worthy of blame. Even my glorious ancestors may not be inferior to the current alliance in terms of technological achievements. But they are just arrogant and cold-hearted guys... Although these were his remarks with an extreme mentality as a planet wanderer, I had no way to refute it at the time. Because my ancestors, even the most stubborn ones in the alliance today, I am afraid that members of the intellectual class are not far behind. Starting from the abyssal machine hypothesis, to abyssal engineering, infinite geology and infinite cybernetics, their ultimate ideal is to control the machine and turn it off. , or permanently destroyed...
"You are frowning, Mr. Zhou Yu. Words are really cunning things. I say this as if they are just pursuing a real and correct life. But if the abyssal machine hypothesis is completely wrong, or what they call ' If the "life of illusion" is also recognized as life - to completely control and destroy all existences of laws and regulations, and to live and kill based on one's own preferences and beliefs, isn't this better than any other kind I have fought? Are all monsters that much more evil? But my ancestors, who were so arrogant and powerful, ended up perishing because of all this research. All the past technology and glory were lost, and all that was left was relying on breeding technology. Survivors who slowly mutate in the silent light of the Spark Tower. Isn't this an ironic thing? We are called the Eternal Light Clan, as if we are something extraordinary, but if we look at it from the perspective of our ancestors , I’m afraid we are just some false and redundant illusions. It is a fragile sense of luck before their demise, some kind of naive imagination about reality.”
The giant's eye lamp emits a steady and gentle light. He commented in a calm tone: "So, if my ancestors are 'real pelicans', then the current Yongguang people are 'imaginary pelicans.' I'm obviously just talking to myself, not at all." We don’t have that ability, but we are regarded as a symbol of the redeemer. Mr. Zhou Yu, can you trust us like this?"
Luo Binhan looked above his head and then at the ground. He knew in his heart that this must be a trap. There was something going on here, but he couldn't quite figure it out.
"To be honest," he said, "I just think your eyes are weird. Don't they attract moths at night?"
"No. Because we will use the call of the heart to guide our moth friends who have lost their sense of direction. Generally speaking, the more difficult ones are stone-eating ants."
"what is that?"
"They are stone-eating insects, which are quite common in the Yongguang Realm. Are there none in Mr. Zhou Yu's hometown? The shell is very hard, and they also like small stone-eating insects. Although the insects are difficult to bite, they will Trying to make nests in cracks and folds until they find there is nothing to eat. At that time, they will also do what the legendary pelicans do - use the flesh of their ancestors to nurse and reproduce their offspring, mutating them into stronger They are tough and aggressive individuals. Therefore, a stone-eating ant nest in a barren area will eventually cause a very serious disaster if it is not cleaned and moved in time."
Luo Binhan's back itched slightly because of this description. He reached out and grabbed it twice, feeling the breeze blowing around him. At this time, he heard Bang Bang's voice again, calling him intermittently.
"Luo..." Bang Bang said vaguely, "I think... I seem to have found an exit..."
