"Compared with your story, my story is not that colorful.
It can even be called boring."
In exchange, the Nuwa girl "Moon Watcher" also told Li Yao her story, using the fusion of brain waves and sound waves to tell her story, "I have been staying in the ancient ruins since I was born.
Of course, that At that time, I did not realize that there was a vaster world outside, nor did I realize how complex, changeable, bizarre and elusive the world inside the ancient ruins was compared to the vast and stable world outside.
"Perhaps you have discovered that the space within the ancient ruins is formed by the fusion of many parts of the world.
In other words, the entire ancient ruins are a 'wormhole condensation', just like a wormhole extending in all directions.
A transportation hub, countless invisible tunnels leading to the four-dimensional space crisscross here, forming a maze and puzzle that hundreds of civilizations have not been able to completely solve for hundreds of millions of years.
"Such characteristics give the ancient ruins the unpredictable character.
Here, the continuity and stability of time and space are broken.
It is very likely that it is a hot summer here, but there is snow a hundred meters away, or Here are the gorgeous and colorful flowers blooming freely, but a hundred meters away is the monotonous black and white carpet, creating various dull and rigid images.
In my childhood When I was young, I chased butterflies through flowers, only to find that the butterflies turned into a blazing flame in an instant, and the flames turned into countless stars and disappeared with the wind, as if they were reborn in the form of fireflies.
When I Ignoring the adults' advice, when I stretched my fingers towards the place where the butterflies were annihilated, my fingers turned into colorful fireworks, completely blooming in the whirlpool of time and space.
"In short, this is the case here.
All inherent and stable laws can be broken, and any strange and weird things may appear.
The most disciplined and cautious strong people may die tragically in the most bizarre way, and those crazy people may die miserably.
The madman may live longer.
"I heard from my father that the first batch of researchers and adventurers who entered the ancient ruins had only two endings.
Either they faced the treacherous environment, the arrogant civilization ruins, and the ubiquitous weird radiation, and were scared to death and scared to death.
Scared to death, completely mentally broken; or, he has been studying for a lifetime The rules, formulas and theorems were all defeated by the unconventional things in the ancient ruins.
From then on, they got into trouble, trying to capture the illusory laws in the ancient ruins and find the objective laws hidden in them, but they were like moths chasing the sun.
Just the same, you will never reach your goal, ultimately wasting your life and dying in depression.
“Because of this, researchers and adventurers who later entered the ancient ruins had to seal most of their emotions and wills in order to survive in this nightmarish ruins.
"Of course, for innocent children who have been in this kaleidoscope-like world since they were born, they are used to seeing all kinds of things that cannot be explained by common sense, but they regard these magical spells and even magic as objective existence.
It’s rare to have a mental breakdown before entering into real research, so it’s not necessary to completely seal off emotions before abnormal brain wave disorders are detected.”
Along with the moon-watcher's narration, the Silver City in Li Yao's mind, the smooth mirror-like facades of high-rise buildings, were also stained with circles of brilliant patterns, like bunches of exotic flowers.
Star flowers bloom slowly, truly turning this city, built deep in the ancient ruins and on the corpses of a hundred ancient civilizations, into a kaleidoscope that is constantly rolling, bizarre, and like a whirlpool.
"In my childhood, there were two most interesting games.
Either I would sneak out into the countryside with my friends to explore and learn which world the different spaces came from, or I would study those things that once existed.
The remains of the ancient civilization that fell here.”
Moon Watcher continued, "You know, when your childhood is spent with the remains and corpses of a hundred ancient civilizations, when you know that a hundred extremely glorious ancient civilizations were quietly annihilated. , when you see those hundred-meter-high war machines turned into rusty wrecks riddled with holes, your world view, civilization view, and cosmology view will be shaped very... strangely.
"Perhaps, in your eyes, time and space are stable, civilization is the extremely glorious result of hundreds of millions of living beings working together for hundreds of millions of years, and the universe is a vast ocean.
"But in my eyes, at least in my childhood, time and space are neither stable nor continuous, nor do they have much meaning - if all the worlds separated by hundreds of millions of light years can pass through If the wormholes are connected together, what is the meaning of space if it takes ten million years for a civilization to develop from a hairless monkey to one that can control the stars?
The ship absorbs the energy of stars and changes the environment of the galaxy, but it is wiped out in a second because of a wrong answer.
So, what is the meaning of time if a hundred civilizations can die so silently?
, then, what is the difference between the essence of civilization and a dead leaf in the strong wind, or even an ant on a dead leaf?
"Living in such a universe, the universe may be a vast ocean, but this ocean is full of invisible traps.
It is more like a cruel game that is destined to fail.
In my childhood, I might still Didn't realize the cruel truth, just I think this game is very interesting, but I don’t have any respect and respect for life and civilization.
I think I am living in a fragmented and mottled dream, and I am even a part of the dream, and I am the original ancestor.
'It's just a spiritual thought."
When Li Yao heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "The original ancestor was the prehistoric civilization that built the ancient ruins, the Tower of Babel, and... the 'black wall' that enveloped the entire Pangu universe?"
"Yes, it seems that you have discovered a lot of information on your own, which saves me most of the explanation."
Moon Watcher said, "When I grew up, my father forcibly placed me in the 'Soul Temple' and received a massive amount of information.
The wisdom of various categories, fields, and civilizations left a deep impression on my young mind.
My dissatisfaction and confusion only intensified when my brain was imprinted and even permanently altered my cerebral cortex.

“Because, in the eyes of my childhood friends and I, the world was like this, elusive, unexplainable, and even unexplainable.
“Hundreds of civilizations that tried to explore the ultimate secrets of ancient ruins have all fallen and been annihilated.
“Even among my father’s colleagues, that is, the parents of my friends, many of them died in various bizarre and horrific ways while conducting dangerous experiments and exploration work.
"Only about one tenth of the victims can recover their whole bodies.
Among the remaining victims, there are even cases where they mysteriously disappeared for a hundred years and then fell from the sky in a handful of withered bones and were smashed to pieces a hundred years later.
——According to the research of later generations, it is very likely that this victim He stepped on the air and fell into a special gap in time and space.
He kept falling and falling in the gap for a whole hundred years.
He starved to death on the way, and his body fell in the endless gap for several decades.
It waits until the energy to maintain the space-time gap is exhausted before reappearing.
"Although I was still young at that time and didn't have a particularly strong fear of death, this kind of 'step on the air, fall into the gap in time and space, and fall in the void for a hundred years.
In the end, I didn't fall to death but starved to death or even died of fear.' , this way of death is still a little too inexplicable.
“So I asked my father, where did we come from, where are we going, and most importantly, what are we doing now?
"Obviously, in my childhood eyes, we were rich in materials, developed in technology, and had few natural enemies and foreign threats.
In the countryside surrounding the City of Silver, the most dangerous and unpredictable areas were also marked. , as long as we are careful and don't seek death, we can live a very safe, comfortable and stable life.
"But why, my father and his colleagues have to challenge the taboos again and again, to activate those talisman formations that have been sealed for thousands of years, to repair those ancient war machines that look like jagged teeth and gleaming cold light, to release A deadly virus that is very likely to cause the extinction of ancient civilizations, or even Even during the rare rest time, I would sit cross-legged around the Tower of Babel, staring blankly at the top of the Tower, the vast starry sky that could never be reached, as if it had taken away my soul and sucked away all my life force. , become its slave completely, what is the purpose of all this!”
"When I was young, no matter how much I pestered my father, he would always remain silent and unwilling to tell me the answer.
He would even become sullen, squeeze out his remaining emotions, and get angry at me.
"In my impression, my father is gentle and gentle most of the time - which makes him even more ferocious when he gets angry.
"When I grew up, I realized that once I learned the truth, I would inevitably devote myself to real research and burn my life to the ground like my parents and other elders.
Then, I My soul might be eroded by the elusive power and the treacherous universe, and I would have to seal my emotions and will.
My childhood would be completely over.
"My father wanted me to have a carefree childhood for a few more years, so he was unwilling to tell me the truth so early.
“But the day has finally come.
"I will never forget that day, that morning, when my mother was transformed into a black iron statue."
