Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 252 The End of Ascension

However, in such an environment, a certain civilization was born in this galaxy like a ray of light in the darkness.

That is where the guys who came to attack Li Wenyuan once belonged to, a civilization that called itself "Ascended".

What was locked in the memory of those psychic creatures was not only the story of the "traveler", but also the story of the "ascender".

This civilization uses similar means to keep the inheritance of civilization in the memory of future generations, hoping that they will be able to complete this unfinished mission one day.

In the language of this civilization, "ascension" represents the final level of evolution.

The generally high-concentration psionic environment makes the starting point of their civilization very high, because they don't need personnel engaged in basic production.

All material needs and production needs can be met directly or indirectly through spiritual energy.

Their species seeks a higher level of spiritual satisfaction, and this pursuit is embodied in their desire to travel to higher worlds.

The memory from the "Traveler" was deciphered by them, and that level of genetic means is completely worthless for a civilization dedicated to ascending.

Obviously, they yearned for the world shown by the "traveler", so they became the only "forwards" in this dark galaxy.

They were the first to find a way to use the virtual world to perform "super-light speed". This "teleportation" method was completely a dimensionality reduction blow to other civilizations at that time.

What's more, their use of psychic energy was more efficient, so they successfully defeated all opponents at that time, and tried to reverse the extremely bad atmosphere in these relatively primitive civilizations, trying to make this galaxy work together to go to a higher level. world.

It was also during this process that Li Wenyuan discovered traces of humans.

The "Ascensioners"'s description of human beings is very short. At that time, they were busy rectifying the galaxy and found that "outsiders" had entered this galaxy.

Although they wanted to communicate with them, it happened that some powerful psychic criminals who had not been wiped out were making waves in many places, so they had no time to communicate with those outsiders whose whereabouts were unknown.

During that time, they noticed that those outsiders seemed to be focusing on the black hole at the center of the galaxy, and when they freed up their hands, the group of outsiders seemed to confirm something and disappeared suddenly.

This inexplicable experience made the "ascenders" a little sad, they felt that they had wasted the opportunity to communicate with life outside the galaxy after so much effort.

However, they quickly regrouped and focused on how to go to a higher world.

So after demonstrating again and again, they chose a path that could theoretically "go through the gods".

They will take advantage of this illusory realm of the galaxy, and use that seemingly inexhaustible psionic pool to provide them with enough energy to surpass this world.

"...It's good to have this motivation to move forward, and it's also a noble idea to lead everyone to 'fly up' together, but..."

Li Wenyuan hasn't read the follow-up of this memory, but he can already guess a rough idea through the current situation of this galaxy.

He has actually heard of the means used by the "Ascended" civilization.

In the galaxy, more than one civilization or individual wants to take advantage of the transcendence of the void, as does the lost empire of the "far traveler" that has not yet been updated, as does the high priest of the lost empire of the "watcher".

Each of them seems to regard Voidland as a fish pond. If they can't catch fish or get any benefits, they just use water pumps to pump them.

And this related technology has also been recorded by humans:
【Natural Disaster Plan】

[Technology level: 7]

[Introduction: After in-depth research on the Void Realm, we have confirmed that the large-scale disturbance events that occurred here will have an impact on the Void Realm.According to existing theories, a surge of energy large enough may tear the barrier between the two planes and let the Void fall directly into our hands, which is much more powerful than a siphon can extract.Then, maybe we can try to completely take the power in the Void as our own, and then go to a higher world? 】

This is one of the few "dangerous technologies" marked by the red skull in Li Wenyuan's technology tree. Obviously, "pumping water in the virtual world" is not that simple.

Perhaps its difficulty and its consequences will have uncontrollable effects.

The "Ascended" civilization failed in the end, and directly led to the collapse of Void Realm.

Excessive psionic energy filled the galaxy like a flood from the virtual world. During that period, even the barren cosmic space was filled with substantial psionic energy nebulae.

Too much of anything overflowing would not be a good thing. The spiritual power itself linked to the spiritual world formed a terrifying hallucination that was enough to kill, erupting uninterruptedly everywhere in the galaxy.

The failure of "Ascension" also caused heavy casualties to the "Ascension" civilization, which was on the verge of extinction.

Even if they tried to turn the tide, the broken virtual environment made them powerless, because the psionic energy was used less and less from now on.

The collapsed void can no longer circulate psionic energy, and this kind of special energy is now water without a source.

No longer able to live without worries, they must use every ounce of psychic energy wisely, while having to return to technological means that have never been valued.

But this overflowing psychic energy is the carnival of other psychic energy users. If they can resist the terrifying hallucinations, then all of them are now first-class powerful psychic users.

The "Ascended" did not choose to establish a new order again, because they knew very well that war would only accelerate the consumption of psionic energy, and they had to use limited resources to re-order the technology tree before the psionic energy was exhausted.

However, the civilization that was once controlled by them began to revenge and revenge. Under this forced war, the brilliance of this galaxy was finally extinguished.

This is the history of the "Ascended" civilization. The last "Ascended" killed all creatures except them, which ran counter to their original ideals.

In this era of madness, they were eventually eroded by hallucinations, and changed from "ascended" to "fallen", and no one will record their history, only the blocked residual memory still shows this "inheritance".

In order to survive, their strong will and psychic ability allow them to direct the direction of evolution without genetic means.

The lack of skin covering the body surface is to better absorb the diffuse spiritual energy, and the lack of five senses is also to make oneself more sensitive to spiritual energy.

The spiritual world, which is crucial to the use of psionic energy, has long since become crazy in the harsh environment and the torment of horrible hallucinations day and night.

They created this hellish environment, and this hellish environment deeply affected them.

Now, the galaxies that do not have a high concentration of psionic gas in this galaxy have been "searched".

The total amount of resources is decreasing, but the consumers are not decreasing, and those who are weak will naturally be "cleared".

And in order to live, only by becoming stronger and stronger can they keep their lives, forming a bad social relationship here.

This is the end of the "Ascension" here. There are only a group of crazy bloodthirsty people left in the whole galaxy. Compared with them, the Milky Way is much better.
