After seeing Tianren No. 7 and understanding what was going on inside the solar system, the doubts in Zhang Heng's mind were finally solved.
Since Yan is here, there is nothing to worry about.
After thinking about it, Zhang Heng drove the Black Water and headed straight towards the Sky Blade No. 7.
In order to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Zhang Heng still sent a subpoena to Yan when he got close to him, indicating his identity immediately.
And when Yan, who was on Tianren No. 7, received the message that Zhang Heng took the initiative to reveal his identity, the last trace of doubt in his heart was completely eliminated.
Then, she opened a hole in the protective shield of Tianren No. 7, and also notified the space fleets of the three civilizations not to fire, allowing Zhang Heng to board Tianren No. 7 smoothly.
"Why are you here too?"
After seeing Zhang Heng, Yan started to ask.
When the two parted outside the Yuan Universe, she also knew Zhang Heng's specific plans.
Zhang Heng asked her to take the Mayfly Civilization back to the known universe of Super God first, while he was to move with the Kuntai Civilization's trading market to the gathering place of the Star Alliance.
Although a long time has passed since they were separated, but on the scale of the entire universe, this time is only a blink of an eye.
In such a relatively short period of time, has Zhang Heng already accomplished what he wanted to do?
"Isn't it the right thing for me to ask you this question?"
Zhang Heng didn't answer and asked instead: "I didn't ask you to go back to the known universe, so why did you end up in the three-body universe?"
In fact, he was very surprised when he found out that it was an angel in the solar system of the three-body metaverse.
Although the various metaverses of Pangu civilization are connected, each Pangu metaverse also has entrances and exits to other metaverses.
However, if one cannot master cosmic strings, it will be very difficult to accurately find the entrance and exit to a certain metaverse and go to that metaverse.
Even I didn't find the three-body universe by myself and came here.
Rather, they ran in by mistake while chasing the remnants of the light-form civilization.
"You are asking me now. Actually, I don't know how we got here..."
Yan replied.
You can’t say it’s because you got lost, right?
However, to be honest, she really couldn't figure out how she suddenly came to the three-body universe without knowing it.
"Not to mention this issue, what is the current situation of the solar system and the Trisolaran galaxy next to it?"
Seeing that Yan himself couldn't explain the reason, Zhang Heng turned to ask about other ways.
He also saw the space fleets of three civilizations behind Tianren Seven.
Among them, he also discovered the existence of Trisolarans.
In this case, it is not difficult to think that the disappearance of the Trisolaran Galaxy is also related to angels.
"They, now I call them the enlightened faction civilization..."
Later, Yan explained to Zhang Heng.
At the same time, it also explains that the three-body galaxy is no longer observable because of the black zone.
Although Yan did not specifically explain who these were for.
However, how could Zhang Heng not see it at this moment?
So, he did not hesitate to praise and said: "Not bad."
Hearing this, Yan's expression froze; that's it?
However, she didn't say much, and she didn't expect Zhang Heng to say anything disgusting.
"By the way, there's someone I think you might want to meet."
Then, Yan mentioned Luo Ji, who was brought from Earth and was still on Tianren No. 7.
However, when Zhang Heng heard the name Luo Ji, his reaction was different from what she believed.
"What? Isn't this person one of your best friends in this universe?"
Looking at Zhang Heng's always dull eyes, Yan asked in confusion.
"Whether this person sees me again or not actually doesn't mean much to me or him!"
Zhang Heng sighed.
Perhaps, after meeting Luo Ji who was currently in the zero cycle, he could still regard him as his former friend based on his similar personality and appearance.
But what about Luo Ji?
Who is Zhang Heng?
In his memory and in his past, this person has never appeared.
Naturally, it was impossible to get along with Zhang Heng like Luo Ji did before.
"I have a concept here. The lives that were reset to zero in the last zero-return cycle of the universe, after their consciousness is reset to zero and restarted, will no longer have anything to do with the previous cycle, and it will be a completely new life. "
"The past between me and the former Luo Ji was during the last universe zero cycle. He could not complete the independence of consciousness like me and get the opportunity to come to the current universe."
"So, strictly speaking, my best friend Luo Ji has died a long time ago. Now this one is just a replica that was reborn due to special reasons in the Pangu Yuanverse..."
Zhang Heng still spoke in a very calm tone.
However, the concept he talked about made Yan fall into thinking.
After a long time, she spoke again: "According to what you said, since the known universe is also the Pangu Yuanverse, then there must be an angel in the known universe during the last zeroing cycle."
"Does that also mean that I am also a copy, and the real Angel Yan actually died when the universe experienced its first return to zero?"
"I'm not the real Angel Yan?"
It seemed like she didn't like the concept a bit.
After all, no one wants to be said to be just a copy.
"Yes."
But Zhang Heng still nodded: "The concept of my statement is a bit like, the me of tomorrow will still be the same as the me of today."
"Although from a materialistic perspective, it can be said that the person I am tomorrow will no longer be the person I am today, because matter is in motion, which requires us to look at things from the perspective of change and development, so the person I am tomorrow will no longer be the person I am today."
"But from an idealist perspective, I will still be me tomorrow, because idealism believes that everything is human-centered, and humans are unchanged."
"So, for the entire universe, or for the people who have existed since the first zeroing cycle, you are no longer the same person you once were."
"The same applies to Luo Ji and I. As far as he is concerned now, of course he is himself."
"But to me, he is no longer the Luo Ji from the last reset cycle."
Speaking of this, Zhang Heng also saw that Yan was trying to get into trouble, so he continued to explain: "Actually, you don't need to worry about whether you are just a copy of any existence in the past."
"In other words, I care whether I treat you as a replica that has gone through countless zero-return cycles."
"After all, from my perspective, Angel Yan from the last cycle, or Angel Yan from the first reset cycle, has nothing to do with me."
"I know you now, so to me, naturally you are the real Angel Yan."
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, Yan's face finally looked much better.
She just now really started to doubt life.
"However, since everyone is on Tianren No. 7, let's meet them!"
After ending this idealistic and materialistic topic, Zhang Heng walked straight towards the area where Luo Ji was.
He had just heard about Yan's idea of making Luo Ji the leader of mankind.
He had no objection to this.
After all, no matter how Luo Ji is now, to him, he is not the same as before.
However, Luo Ji essentially remained unchanged.
Since Zhang Heng believed on several occasions that the former Luo Ji had the ability to lead all mankind, then the current Luo Ji must also have it.
Perhaps, there was a hint in his heart that he wanted to use the current Luo Ji to make up for his past regrets, just like Yan had considered for him before.
When he came to Luo Ji's side, Yan didn't follow him.
After gently knocking on the door of Luo Ji's room, Zhang Heng walked in after hearing the sound of "Enter".
What caught his eye was a man with a vicissitudes of life, a bit haggard, and a middle-aged appearance.
Of course, no matter how much the person in front of him changed, Zhang Heng still recognized this familiar appearance immediately.
"Who are you?"
When Zhang Heng was sizing up Luo Ji, Luo Ji was also sizing up Zhang Heng.
Similarly, after seeing Zhang Heng, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. This kind of thing was also impossible to happen.
If you don’t know it, you don’t know it.
Looking at this stranger who walked into his room, Luo Ji's heart was filled with doubts.
He has been on Tianren No. 7 for a long time. According to his understanding, no one else can enter the angel activity area on Tianren No. 7 except angels and him.
Even the members of Angel International, no one can be brought in without exception.
Therefore, at this moment, he was very curious about who the man in front of him was who was making a living.
"Hello Luo Ji, this is the first time we meet. Please introduce me as Zhang Heng."
Zhang Heng smiled and stretched out his right hand.
He had also used this same opening line when he first met Luo Ji from the previous zeroing cycle.
"Well……"
Luo Ji was stunned for a moment, but still out of politeness, he stretched out his right hand and shook it with Zhang Heng: "Hello Zhang Heng, I am Luo Ji."
Luo Ji's conditioned answers and reactions were surprisingly consistent with Luo Ji's past.
It seemed that the scene of the two shaking hands at this moment was also merged with the scene in the last reset cycle.
"Can we talk?"
After getting to know each other again, Zhang Heng entered the topic.
He wanted to convince Luo Ji to really become the leader of human civilization.
Now that angels control the entire human civilization, it is only a matter of words to choose who can lead human civilization.
"Please tell me something."
Hearing this, Luo Ji made an invitation gesture, indicating that Zhang Heng should take a seat on the sofa in the room, and he also sat across from Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng could come to Tianren No. 7 and come here to find him. Naturally, he could imagine that Zhang Heng's identity was not simple.
Therefore, he dared to guess that Zhang Heng was probably here because of the things that the angel had mentioned to him before.
However, at this time, Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to get down to business, and instead asked Luo Ji: "You must be very curious, who am I?"
After Luo Ji nodded, Zhang Heng continued unhurriedly: "Let me tell you a story first..."
So, under Luo Ji's puzzled gaze, Zhang Heng told the story again.
After all, storytelling is also a feature of the Three-Body Universe.
Therefore, Zhang Heng planned to follow the local customs.
I believe that with Luo Ji's understanding, it is not difficult to understand the content of the story.
"That is a farmer's story. I believe you have heard other versions of farmers' stories before this."
Zhang Hengyi pointed out something.
Luo Ji nodded again.
Yes, there was a story about a farmer on earth more than two centuries ago.
However, the Trisolaran civilization that the farmer was referring to, and human civilization were the turkeys on the farm.
"My story as a farmer is a little different from what you have heard before..."
Zhang Heng formally told the story.
However, what he uses is not to use things to compare people, but to use people to compare things.
"The protagonist of the story is a civilization, in our words, called Pangu Civilization."
"They were the farmers. No one knows when they originated. No one knows how many farms they had and how big they were."
"I only know that the universe we live in is one of the farms under his name..."
"..."
Just hearing this made Luo Ji call him a good guy in his heart.
Are these different versions of the farmer’s story a little too outrageous?
The previous one only meant that human civilization was insignificant, and the earth was nothing more than a farm in the eyes of advanced civilizations.
But what Zhang Heng is describing now refers to the entire universe, and even other universes whose existence is unknown, as a farm.
However, although he felt it was a bit outrageous, he did not interrupt and waited expressionlessly for Zhang Heng to continue.
"This farmer has a somewhat peculiar personality, and he seems to like stories very much, so he writes and collects a lot of story materials that he likes."
"Then, he arranged the characters in these stories to the animals he raised on his farm, such as turkeys, sheep, cows, etc."
"Then, these animals who have been assigned roles will continue to play their roles, over and over again, over and over again..."
"Of course, nothing lasts forever. The universe will die one day, and the animals on the farm will die one day."
"So, the farmer kept replicating the same animals through duplication, so that they could continue to play the same role..."
"Until one day, perhaps the farmer suddenly wanted to do other mischief, and he let the animals in one of the farms go to other farms."
"Furthermore, he also gave this animal that went to other farms abilities that far exceeded those of its kind..."
