"Human, don't leave in a hurry. The beings in our red light world have never stepped out of this world, so we hope to exchange some information with you." The petal life form saw that Shangguan Wuhui had no ill intentions and relaxed his vigilance. .
"Oh? In that case, I would also like to learn about this wonderful world of yours."
"It's like this. Our world has actually existed for a long time. It has always been slowly growing and evolving by swallowing red light. But in the past ten thousand years, an unusual situation has occurred." The red light life form said this It stopped for a moment, observing the fluctuations of Shangguan Wuhui's soul to determine whether he was worthy of its trust.
Shangguan Wuhui didn't think much about these non-aggressive red-light life forms, but he was a warm-hearted person. Now that he had encountered them, he wanted to know their story, "Oh? What's the situation like?"
"Old monsters like ours are creatures that have appeared since the birth of this world. They have evolved so far after so many years. Other weak red-light creatures are regarded by us as our descendants. Originally, they were in peace with each other. It absorbs red light and grows slowly. But something strange happened just ten thousand years ago.
"At the beginning, we didn't care about those weak red-light beings. Because for us, they are too small. If they want to grow to our level, the span of time is a gap that can never be crossed. So. We didn't notice that the world was beginning to change.
"Until one day, an old monster suddenly sent me a message saying that it found that the number of red-light life forms in its star field began to decrease, and the number declined sharply. However, it did not find any alien life forms anyway. Signs of invasion. Regarding the disappearance of those weak red-light life forms, it really doesn’t know what went wrong.” The petal monster felt Shangguan Wuhui’s emotional fluctuations, and found that Shangguan Wuhui was not only not surprised, but also had a kind of I felt confident, as if I already knew what happened, so I stopped talking.
"Haha, in our human world, since death does not come from outside invasion, it must be an internal problem. Either death from plague or death from exploitation. Of course, the death of some resource consuming people will inevitably indicate the death of others. The rise of part of it. Because resources are constant, the overall energy of the life forms it nourishes should be conserved." Shangguan Wuhui had actually guessed what was going on.
"Yes, we originally had nothing to do with the world, so we were naturally indifferent to the affairs of that old monster's territory. Later, we did not really investigate the reason. It was not until eight or nine thousand years later that the old monster suddenly told us Said that the reason for the sharp decline of life forms in its territory was found.
"It turns out that some red-light life forms started to discover at some point that devouring their own kind evolved faster than absorbing red light, so they began to hunt and devour their kind. This is simply an extremely terrifying thing!" This Immortal King-level creature Life does have extremely scary emotional ups and downs. It seems that for this old monster who has lived indifferently for countless years, any disturbance is as terrifying as the earth falling apart.
"This is a good thing." Although Shangguan Wuhui felt funny in his heart, he still said lightly. After all, it was not wise to anger this old monster.
"A good thing?" The old monster really couldn't understand.
"Yes, this is something that will inevitably happen when life civilization develops to a certain extent."
"Um?"
"Just like us humans. After they solved the problem of survival, they began to accumulate wealth, but the initial accumulation was very slow. So they annexed each other, and then exploited those with less wealth. In this way, extremely huge wealth possessions appeared By."
"ah!"
"I guess that in the next thousand years, there must be red-light life forms that can compete with you. And they also have plans to annex all of you old antiques."
"You...! Who are you?" The old monster with red light immediately became sensitive, as if he was going to attack Shangguan Wuhui at any time.
"Don't be afraid. No matter what kind of life forms each world has, the evolution methods of life civilizations are all very similar. Because resources are fixed, you must plunder them if you want to grow!"
"Unfortunately, you are half right." Hongguang's life suddenly became a little depressed. It didn't wait for Shangguan Wuhui to question, and then continued, "At the beginning, the more powerful red-light beings born in this millennium were not our opponents, but because we have always thought about harmonious coexistence, some weak beings are here. This kind of compromise was eaten away by them little by little, and eventually they evolved to an existence that could compete with us old monsters.
"However, just when we thought everything could be peaceful, they were not satisfied. In order to destroy the camp controlled by old monsters like us, they did not hesitate to devour each other. In the end, a red-light life existence beyond our knowledge appeared. At this time, we Some of these old monsters began to doubt themselves. They actually began to abandon the offensive and defensive alliance and devour the same old monsters. It is really incomprehensible, why is this happening?" The old monster Hongguang became extremely sad, but Shangguan Wuhui sneered in his heart. , because it is inevitable for new things to replace old things. The old monster itself is nothing more than a giant corpse growing lazily in a comfortable environment.
"Why do I feel like everything is calm here?" Shangguan Wuhui couldn't help but become curious.
"I am here in a relatively remote corner, in the center of the world, where there are bigger red giants and stronger red-light old monsters. And the two sides are competing fiercely."
"Both sides fighting?"
"That's right, the old and new factions that emerged through devouring are in the final battle."
"Oh? Why don't you participate?"
"I don't like fighting by nature." Shangguan Wuhui said nothing, because this cowardly old guy was not worth his skin. But now he has a hunch that this world is about to give birth to its own World Wheel. According to the situation here, the Wheel of the World that is about to be born will not be very powerful, because it is a representative life in this world. They are cowardly, content with mediocrity, and lazy.
"Just leave."
"Yeah, but you have to be careful."
"Why?"
"Because the evolutionary terminals of every world will merge into one. No matter how powerful the old and new forces are or how they change, they will eventually become one living body. Even you will be no exception and will become a part of them."
"Humph! Are you laughing at me?" Hong Guang Life became a little angry. But Shangguan Wuhui still had a playful smile on his face. He was now convinced that if he wanted to leave, the old man with red light in front of him would not be able to stop him.
"I'm just telling you the ending so that you can prepare early. I'm not sure when this day will come."
"Oh, it turns out you were trying to scare me."
"No. But if you think I'm pretty good, I can leave you a message. If that happens, just send me a message. Maybe I can save you." Shangguan Wuhui said, using the spiritual method to leave a black and white mark on it. Although this old monster had a tough talk, he still accepted the mark of Shangguan Wuhui. Shangguan Wuhui is also convinced that although this old guy is old-fashioned, he definitely still has some wisdom, otherwise it would be impossible for him to survive in the crack between the old and the new.
Shangguan Wuhui already had a premonition that at the last moment, the wheel of red light would be born. If I came here and could get it without any effort, that would be a very happy thing. However, he did not expect how much trouble he would face when the Red Light Wheel was born. This is a story for another day.
Shangguan Wuhui saw that the old monster had no intention of keeping him, so without saying anything, he activated the wheel of time and escaped from the red world in a flash. The old monster, which left a red light like petals, is still attached to the red giant star, waiting for its end.
Although Shangguan Wuhui guessed that a World Wheel would eventually be born in this world, he did not know what the purpose of the upcoming red light wheel would be. He hurried on while guessing, and soon passed through another world space.
Suddenly, Shangguan Wuhui thought of what happened before arriving at the red light world. What kind of existence is there that makes the Wheel of Time dare not use its full strength. Although he couldn't understand it, Shangguan Wuhui felt a little vigilant. If you come to this red light world in the future, you must be wary of such an existence that can threaten you. At the same time, Shangguan Wuhui thought about what it would take to create the more powerful wheel of fate and the wheel of cause and effect. Like the Wheel of Yellow Sand and the Wheel of Red Light, it is obviously unrealistic for the creatures in a universe to engulf each other and eventually merge with that universe to give birth to the Wheel of the World. Shangguan Wuhui vaguely felt that the secret contained in this must be related to the final evolutionary direction of the entire world of Heavenly Dao.
Shangguan Wuhui was thinking and observing the universe he was in. He suddenly felt that these universes seemed to have triggered a switch at the same time. It is no longer like those endless years ago when it was constantly expanding for the evolution of life. The universe now seems to be coming to life on its own. They are no longer the carriers of life or the appendages of life as before, but have a life of their own. They no longer have a way out because the living beings have become stronger. They are now looking for a way out for themselves. Shangguan Wuhui was suddenly frightened by this discovery. Because if this conjecture of mine is true, then the current changes in the universe will make living organisms truly become parasites of the universe, instead of being the masters of the universe like in the past.
It seems that times have really changed. But is this change a blessing or a curse for countless lives?
