Chapter 172 [Inheritance]

Chapter 160 Seven [Inheritance]

What is a human being?What are the characteristics of human beings?
Chen Nuo didn't intend to seriously discuss or answer this unfamiliar spiritual force with such a big question.

For example, what is [human beings are primates, anthropoids, hominids, hominids, hominids, genus, Homo sapiens...]

To have this serious discussion with this unfamiliar spiritual force - Chen Nuo is not interested, and is also cautious about it.

Before you figure out what this guy is, it's better to talk nonsense, keep a little mystery, and let this guy guess.

At the same time as the communication of spiritual consciousness, Chen Nuo did not stop, but accelerated his speed, heading towards the sky-high stone pillar in the center.

If you can make this guy dizzy, let him have no time to worry, and don't stop himself from moving forward, Chen Nuo doesn't mind singing all the brainwashing songs on Douyin to him.

"What is Mao Mao?"

"I can count it for you."

"number?"

"Yes."

With a simple mental awareness communication, Chen Nuo felt that he was getting closer and closer to the stone pillar.

at last.

"You seem eager to get closer?"

"..." Chen Nuo didn't respond, and took the opportunity to leap forward more than ten meters.

Then, he hit a barrier!
Chen Nuo was all too familiar with the feeling of this barrier.

This is a purely invisible barrier set up by spiritual power.

Both physical and spiritual.

Chen Nuo stopped and calculated the distance between himself and the central stone pillar - it was about 500 meters away, maybe farther.Because visual estimation is not very accurate.

Chen Nuo gave up and continued to move forward, but began to try to release his mental power and carefully retrieve the barrier in front of him.

Pure spiritual power, very pure.

The magnitude of that powerful, vigorous, flowing mental power made even Chen Nuo, who was standing in front of the controller-level threshold, unable to help but secretly surprised in his heart.

This unfamiliar spiritual power guy - purely from the strength of the spiritual power, even if it is the master wizard of the mind power system who is the controller, it is far inferior.

In the air in front of him, an invisible and sticky force prevented Chen Nuo from moving forward.

He stretched out his hands and pushed forward gently, his hands seemed to be stuck in a quagmire that didn't exist, becoming more and more stagnant.

The body tried to move forward, the first step was relatively easy, the second step started, the stagnant feeling became more and more intense, and then the third step, the resistance began to increase exponentially!
Chen Nuo estimated in his heart that with his mental strength, he would be able to move forward no more than five or six steps at most.

Therefore, he simply chose to take a few steps back and stood outside the barrier.

"You don't want me to go?" Chen Nuo asked.

"Just a test." [It] replied: "You wish to pass, and I stop you, I want to see what happens."

Chen Nuo sighed.

Looking back, Ishii Hisako and the others had already reached the ground from the cliff.

The diver began to take out the equipment he was carrying, checking for something.

Chen Nuo only glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze.

"Are you talking to them too?"

[It]'s answer surprised Chen Nuo: "I released a communication signal, but only you can respond to me."

Chen Nuo frowned and thought for a moment, then he understood.

Hisako Ishii and her subordinates are all ordinary people, and their mental power is only at the level of ordinary people. Because they cannot exert mental power outside the body, they cannot sense the communication of [It], and naturally cannot respond.

"To communicate with them, it can be done. But because of your existence, you can respond to my communication, and I don't need to spend extra energy. This is an optimal choice in the current situation."

"...That's right." Chen Nuo nodded.

Then, he asked the question: "What is this place?"

silence.

After more than ten seconds of silence, [It] responded.

[I searched your spiritual power, the description and definition in language, I think, in the language environment that applies to you, some words that can make it easy for you to understand, this place can be called 'sanctuary' 'seed' 'Incubator'..."

Refuge, seed, hatching...

Chen Nuo's heart was beating, and he asked subconsciously, "Then what are you?"

[It] was silent again.

This time, it took more than ten seconds to respond.

"According to your language, I can probably be regarded as a 'Greeder', 'Distributor', 'Keeper', 'Watcher'..."

"So, you're not a creature?"

"With your civilization and language system, it is difficult to define this definition." [It]'s answer is very strange: "In our civilization, there is no detailed description of the word creature. This word is too much for our civilization. single."

Chen Nuo simply sat down, sat on the ground of this black rock, and said with a smile: "So, what are you? Carbon-based life? Silicon-based life? Or..."

"That depends on what your definition of life is."

Chen Nuo began to feel that his head was getting bigger.

"Stop! This question is too philosophical." Chen Nuo shook his head: "So, are you a prehistoric civilization? Atlantis? Atlantis?"

"There is no relevant information in my memory."

The answer of [It] is actually equivalent to making a negative - Chen Nuo's judgment.

"To be precise, we are not a companion civilization on this planet...or you are."

"What is a companion civilization?"

"To put it simply, the word 'indigenous' might be more accurate to describe it in your language system.

Your life and civilization were born and nurtured on this planet, and the process of evolution and formation is also on this planet - so you are the companion civilization of this planet. "

"you are not?"

"I'm not."

Chen Nuo sighed.

Damn, so much nonsense... In short, isn't it aliens!

"The name alien is inaccurate. Because, according to your logic system and language system, I should not be considered a 'human'."

"So...is there a 'human' existence in your civilization? It's similar to human life? Or...in your civilization, are there spirits like you? Besides, is there a physical body? I mean the physical body, even if your body is an octopus with eight tentacles?"

Chen Nuo stretched out his finger and quickly drew an octopus pattern on the ground in front of him.

"Can you see this picture?"

"I can feel it."

Chen Nuo took a deep breath and asked slowly, "So, is this the form of life in your civilization?"

"Yes and no."

This answer made Chen Nuo stunned again.

[It] seemed to be very patient, and explained slowly: "The form of life is not more rigid than one, but should be changed according to different living environments.

Our civilization, in the physical sense you think of it, doesn't have a fixed shape.Instead, it will breed different forms of life according to the needs of the environment. "

What the hell?
Chen Nuo frowned, trying hard to understand the messages this guy sent.

"What you mean is, your civilization, let me call it a person, this person means the life form of your civilization...

I mean, your group, in appearance, has this octopus form?Are there other forms? "

"Yes."

"Then... wouldn't it become a different ethnic group and race?"

"No, because we share the spiritual power of a system, our civilization doesn't care about the appearance."

"...Then..." Chen Nuo thought for a while, then pointed to his nose: "Then in your civilization, are there any living beings whose appearance is the same as that of a human like me?"

"...if necessary, it can be conceived like this."

Chen Nuo couldn't understand it.

Same race but different shape?

One in the shape of an octopus, maybe something else?Like a humanoid?

Chen Nuo kept his fingers, and quickly began to write and draw on the rock, and kept drawing many shapes and patterns.

There are humans, there are octopuses, there are cats, dogs, elephants...etc.

He has painted almost every animal that he can paint within the scope of his painting skills - although many of them are not at all.

Then, [it] came back.

"I understand what you mean.

You can do all of the things you draw - the premise is that the environment requires it.In order to adapt to the needs of the environment, we can breed life forms of different shapes and shapes, um, in your words, clansmen. "

"Then how do you communicate? How does an octopus communicate with a humanoid lifeform with the same shape as me?"

"Communicate mentally—as you and I are now."

"Then... different shapes, how to breed the next generation?? How to reproduce??" Chen Nuo was at a loss.

How can a human-shaped life and an octopus-shaped life reproduce?
"We don't need your so-called reproduction process." Chen Nuo's answer was a little shocked.

"In my civilization, there is no such thing as the mating process of offspring as you understand it."

No bisexuality?
"Does your civilization have no gender?"

"Gender can exist, but in most cases, it's not necessary."

"Asexual reproduction?" Chen Nuo frowned.

"No."

[It] was silent for a while, and then slowly replied: "All life, through the [Central Matrix], conducts centralized and integrated calculations, distributes it according to the needs and adaptability of the external environment, and then calculates various needs, conditions, and so on. Conceive again."

"...Understood." Chen Nuo suddenly laughed.

This is so special, isn't it the civilization system of Planet Krypton?
There is no bisexual reproduction.

Instead, according to the needs of a civilized society, it is distributed uniformly by a central matrix.

Those who need workers give birth to the lives of workers.

When an artist is needed, a life with the attributes of an artist is born.

When a warrior is needed, a life with combat attributes is born.

After the pursuit of the ultimate efficiency and the allocation of the highest efficiency, unified calculation, unified management, and unified distribution are carried out.

Then you need what you need, and give birth to what!

"So, your civilization is a central matrix. As the 'mother' of all people in the civilization, what needs to be born?
Hmm...like a tree?Your people are all fruit from the tree? "

After a while of silence, [it] replied: "This metaphor is very vivid and similar."

"So, what are you? Are you the Central Matrix??"

"I'm not, I'm just a watchman." [It] denied.

Chen Nuo smiled, he raised his finger and pointed at the stone pillar in the distance: "So...it is the central matrix?"

"...Yes, but it's sleeping."

"Long sleep...do you mean dead?" Chen Nuo frowned.

"Using your civilization and language system to understand, similar. But not accurate."

"Can it come back to life?" Chen Nuo thought about it and changed the word: "Activate?"

"...Yes, but the conditions are very harsh. Under the current situation, it cannot be achieved."

Chen Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

A parent body of an alien civilization?

If it can survive, and, if it can give birth to life according to [it]...

That was just horrible.

"Can I go over and take a look?"

"Wait a minute." [It] replied: "Need to be tested."

"test?"

"Yes, you, and your companions. Through the test, you can get close to the mother."

"..." Chen Nuo stopped mental communication and looked back at Hisako Ishii, who was trying to move forward.

There was an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

·
After a few minutes.

Ishii Hisako worked hard and walked to Chen Nuo's side.The woman was out of breath and staggered.

"Why don't you keep going?" Ishii Hisako asked coldly.

"If you can continue to move forward, please." Chen Nuo waved his hand.

His attitude towards Ishii Hisako was very indifferent.

This woman is still hiding a key message from him at this moment!

Hisako Ishii tried to move forward...but she couldn't even take a half step.

Facing this invisible barrier in front of her, this woman did not show any unexpected expression, but instead showed a look of excitement and surprise on her face.

She even tried to walk sideways... a futile move of course.

But after trying it, Hisako Ishii was relieved.

"You knew that when you came here, you might encounter a barrier and be unable to move forward?" Chen Nuo frowned.

"...Yes." Hisako Ishii nodded.

"Then... Have you ever thought about how to go back?" Chen Nuo said coldly: "We fell from that tunnel! If you go back, I don't think you have the ability to climb from that tunnel with such a high drop. Go back! Also, the oxygen storage is not enough."

Hisako Ishii's eyes were complicated, and he hesitated for a while: "Of course there is a way!"

Ishii Hisako sat down slowly, and she made a standard yoga posture of cross-knee meditation.

Even, under Chen Nuo's unexpected eyes, the woman actually closed her eyes, took off her oxygen mask, and turned off the oxygen supply of the oxygen cylinder!

She just sat cross-legged and entered a state of meditation.

Chen Nuo suddenly understood something!
Close your eyes, mute, don't speak, don't smell, don't touch.

After the five senses are suspended, a person's sixth sense, that is, spiritual power, can be relatively enhanced.

After a brief silence...

[It] responded.

"what are you?"

Chen Nuo frowned.

Because the communication of spiritual power cannot be stopped, Hisako Ishii's spiritual power is in a divergent state.

In other words, through the communication of spiritual power, Hisako Ishii cannot conduct "private chat".

Chen Nuo could also sense every word that her spiritual consciousness communicated.

It is equivalent to typing and chatting on the public screen.

The message released by Hisako Ishii was only one sentence.

"The Prophet brought me here."

[It] was silent for a while, then responded: "Where's the prophet?"

"Already dead." Hisako Ishii continued to release mental signals: "I brought testers."

Chen Nuo smiled and pointed to his nose: "So, I'm a tester?"

Hisako Ishii shook his head, his eyes still closed.

At this time, Chen Nuo felt that Hisako Ishii's mental power suddenly swelled up!
As if the invisible existence of [It], I don't know what power was used to suddenly increase Ishii Hisako's mental power in a short period of time!

Ishii Hisako slowly opened her eyes, but her mental power was already enough to talk to Chen Nuo directly without opening her mouth.

"You, and...they, including myself." Hisako Ishii pointed at the six men who followed behind: "We, all of us, are the testers this time.

Of course, it's mainly you!Because you are the strongest among us. "

Chen Nuo sighed: "This item is not included in the content of the transaction."

"It's only good for you, not bad." Hisako Ishii shook his head.

Chen Nuo sneered.

·
The six divers brought by Hisako Ishii were already sitting behind her, just like her, sitting cross-legged, as if meditating.

Chen Nuo opened his eyes and looked at some of Ishii Hisako's subordinates...

He felt a group of spiritual power slowly contacting these six people, and then entangled them...

Not only those six divers, but also Chen Nuo himself.

A mass of spiritual force tried to approach Chen Nuo, and even entangled Chen Nuo's spiritual tentacles.

Without hesitation, Chen Nuo used his mental power to forcefully block it back!
[It] seemed to sigh softly: "This is the process of testing."

Chen Nuo responded coldly: "If it's a test of mental power, I don't think I need this test. I'm stronger than a few others, and if everyone else can pass, I don't need the test.

And... I refuse to release my spiritual awareness space, this kind of thing! "

really!

Chen Nuo's refusal was wise.

Because just after Chen Nuo's message was delivered.

Pfft!
Behind Ishii Hisako, one of the six divers sitting suddenly fell to the ground from the posture of sitting cross-legged!

The man opened his eyes, but his eyes were empty, staring blankly above, his body seemed to be twitching and trembling slightly, but he didn't say a word.

Chen Nuo frowned, and a trace of spiritual power curiously tested the past, and soon his heart jumped!
This person's spiritual consciousness has been completely destroyed!

The consciousness space of ordinary people is torn apart!

"Test failed."

The message of [it] is calm.

Pfft!
The second diver fell.

Hisako Ishii was unmoved, as if he had expected this to happen, but just sat there with his eyes closed and his whole body trembling, as if he was trying hard to hold on to something.

Chen Nuo can feel that Hisako Ishii's spiritual power is getting stronger and stronger, and it has surpassed the scope of ordinary people!Even after staying at the critical point of the limit, it quickly grew again!

Ishii Hisako's ears, eyes, and nostrils all leaked thin blood lines...

Pfft!
The third diver is down!

The three people who fell were actually in the same state—the space of spiritual consciousness was completely blown up by what force!

At this moment, Hisako Ishii suddenly stood up!

She still closed her eyes tightly, but without hesitation, she took a firm step forward!
At this step, he stepped directly into the barrier, but Hisako Ishii didn't seem to feel any obstruction.

Then, step two!

third step!
Behind Hisako Ishii, the fourth diver fell!

But the fifth and sixth, the two divers also stood up, followed behind Hisako Ishii, and slowly walked forward!
Chen Nuo thought about it and stood up.

"Three people passed." Chen Nuo said lightly: "So... I'm stronger than these three people! Logically speaking, I can pass too, right?"

After being silent for a while, [it] replied: "...the logic is established."

In an instant, Chen Nuo also sensed that the barrier in front of him had melted away, revealing a narrow passage!

Chen Nuo took a deep breath, with a strange smile on his face, and slowly walked forward.

·
Hisako Ishii and her two divers kept their posture closed.

And [It]'s mental power test has actually stopped. After the test, the mental power of Hisako Ishii and the two divers seems to have increased a lot.

But the three did not open their eyes.

Chen Nuo was not surprised by this.

He clearly felt... Hisako Ishii and the two divers were already blind!

The eyes of the three people, the nerve of the eyeball has completely collapsed!

Even the eardrums of the three of them have been damaged.

The throat, vocal cords, and various nerves also burst!
As if in exchange for the strength of their spiritual power, the audio-visual and vocal functions of the three were damaged as a "price".

·
After several hundred steps forward, Chen Nuo, Hisako Ishii and two divers, four people, came to the stone pillar.

Chen Nuo could clearly see the shape of the clumps of square rocks under the stone pillars.

A group of square rocks...or not rocks, although the surface is pitted, it is obviously not the same material as the black rocks on the ground.

Each size is about the height of a person.

Each one is a cube with a length, width and height of about two meters.

"It's kind of like the fire in the Transformers movie." Chen Nuo frowned.

Surrounding under the stone pillar, there are eight piles of these cubes, each with eight cubes.There are 64 piles in total.

"These are the 'cornerstones'." [It] introduced Chen Nuo: "Each cornerstone can give birth to a breeding ground that needs to develop civilization, and can use the cornerstone to give birth to a city... Well, a city, Probably use that word."

"Oh?"

"After the test is done, it's the allocation process. When the allocation is done, each of you can take a cornerstone with you."

"Can it breed the cornerstone of the city?" Chen Nuo frowned: "City?"

"Yes."

So...is it a portable base vehicle?
"Everything in the city? Are you sure? Buildings, buildings, living places? And everything?" Chen Nuo shook his head: "Including TVs? Computers? Game consoles? Cars?"

"Maybe there are no words you describe, but the functionality is complete, transportation, living places...etc., functions that meet all needs."

"What control? Mental power?"

"Mental power! The strength of mental power determines the scale of the city you can build."

Chen Nuo stopped talking.

What do you mean?
On Earth... rebuild their civilization?

·
"The second step is to communicate with the mother body and establish a system of civilization inheritance and subordination."

[It] released a spiritual signal to Chen Nuo and other four people.

Chen Nuo keenly felt that when he said this sentence, there were obvious emotional fluctuations in the expression of [it]!
If it is said that in the previous spiritual communication, [it] has always been a calm or even indifferent attitude.

And at this moment, [it] seems to finally have a slight emotional fluctuation.

A trace of anxiety, a trace of excitement, a trace of anticipation, a trace of joy...

Although very faint, Chen Nuo still caught it.

"Maternal communication, inheritance?"

Chen Nuo asked, "How to communicate?"

Just after he finished asking, on the stone pillar in front of him, several mental tentacles suddenly stretched out and came towards the four people.

Hisako Ishii and the two divers had no way of resisting, nor did they resist, and let the mental tentacles enter the bodies of the three of them.

Chen Nuo, on the other hand, stretched out a trace of spiritual power and took the initiative to meet the spiritual tentacle - to avoid letting this tentacle directly enter his consciousness space.

"You still say you're not a mother?"

Chen Nuo came into contact with the stretched spiritual tentacles, and immediately recognized that this was the feeling of 【It】, the pure and powerful spiritual power.

"I didn't deceive you." [It] replied: "This is the spiritual power of the mother body... and I am just a guardian consciousness that exists in the spiritual power of the mother body in the process of the long sleep of the mother body. In the process of the long sleep of the mother body , I can mobilize part of its spiritual power.

From a purely existential standpoint, I am just a piece of consciousness. "

"So, the inheritance of spiritual consciousness?" Chen Nuo shook his head: "I refuse you to enter my consciousness space."

"...It's not important." [It] said lightly: "You can cut your own mental power without affecting the transmission of the message."

Chen Nuo did not hesitate, after condensing his mental power, he forcibly cut off the stretched out mental power tentacle from the mother's body!

After the broken mass, Chen Nuo wrapped it in it with his own mental power...

In an instant, a large amount of information poured into the depths of Chen Nuo's mind...
