Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 310 The Ultimate Truth

The genes began to boil, and the memories deep in the blood began to flood into everyone's hearts at this time.

Countless hallucinatory scenes appeared in front of my eyes, most of them were broken scenes, and I couldn't see what was displayed at all, as if they came from another world.

But only one is fixed, and that is the scenery of "World Tree".

Almost everyone can see the shadow of the World Tree in their eyes. It seems that this giant tree gave birth to the life of the world.

The mythical scene stunned the people of the entire "Light Chasing" civilization, and everyone was surprised by it.

Many people even wondered if there was something wrong with the chip in their bodies, which made them hallucinate.

And the leader of the "Light Chaser" who was in the Homeship Science Council also had the same hallucination. At this moment, he understood that the fact that their origin was "Fire Chaser" was probably true.

He knew that there was indeed a "World Tree" in their history.

At that time, they were still in the indigenous era, and various theories were developing rapidly.

Of course, they also conducted research on the world tree that was as big as several cities. Finally, according to the popular "God-given Origin Theory", they believed that it was the first plant born in the original organic soup, so it was so Huge size.

However, the era of the "Giant Tree" was very short. It seemed that when the "Light Chaser" first formed civilization, the giant tree entered into shrinkage.

Just like the melting glaciers on an ordinary ecologically damaged planet, the giant tree is also dying due to unknown reasons.

Their scientists also tried to save it, but in the end, the giant tree completely lost its trace from the planet, and only became a record in history.

Times have undergone countless changes, and the memory of the giant tree is gradually being forgotten.

In their dealings with the "Fire Chaser", they did not associate the giant tree with the "Fire Chaser".

After all, in their memory, the "World Tree" and the "Fire Chaser" have no similarities at all. Even if they are all plant life, the terrifying translucent appearance of the "Fire Chaser" can't match the emerald green World Tree .

However, the present hallucinations prove their origin.

"But, what are these hallucinations? And..."

A certain scientist in the council beat his head a little irritably. The increasingly intense hallucinations did not make him feel painful, but the feeling that there seemed to be plant sprouts in his bones was the most uncomfortable.

Another scientist, on the other hand, remembered a theory related to genetics.

"This...couldn't it be that the 'Fire Chaser' wants to be 'reborn' with us?"

That theory holds that genes preserve memory, and as long as a person's genes can be copied perfectly, that person can be resurrected from the dead in the sense of the soul.

The basis of this theory is that "memory determines the soul", and this cognition is generally applicable in the "Light Chasing" civilization.

If there are indeed gene fragments of the "Fire Chaser" in their bodies, then in their view, this is very likely to be the backhand left by the "Fire Chaser" in order to survive the "Dimensional Erosion".

Now the strangeness in their bodies is the best proof.

"Could it be that the disaster that happened on 'Dawn Star' is what we are doing now?"

Some scientists have linked this feeling of about to sprout in their bodies with the disaster on the "Dawn Star" home ship. Of course they know the situation of the spaceship parasitized by plants. One of the biggest doubts is that almost all of them The bodies were gone.

They think that the corpses were digested by plants, but the truth may be worse than they guessed. Those plants may be their former "compatriots", but compatriots who were reborn from the cocoon of the "fire chaser".

Almost everyone is sure that all of this is a conspiracy of the "Fire Chaser", the purpose is to use their bodies to be reborn and get rid of the pain of "Dimensional Corrosion".

But there are still people who don't think so.

"...The plants on the 'Dawn Star' did not show the wisdom they should have after rebirth. Is this a failure?"

"In addition, this galaxy is not limited to the 'World Tree' in our history. According to the information provided by the 'Guardian', the origin of all life here comes from the 'Fire Chaser'. If this is the case, why didn't they regenerate earlier Woolen cloth?"

Even though they are the only ones left in the battle royale of civilization, he still remembers very clearly that no civilization has shown any signs of "dimensional erosion". It is determined that there is no problem, and thus directly resurrected from the flesh of all people.

But this kind of thing didn't happen. Instead, they participated in this "Civilization Battle Royale" just like a normal civilization. This kind of dramatic reduction in biomass does not meet the needs of the resurrection of the "Fire Chaser" .

"and……"

The leaders of "Chasing the Light" recalled their ancient history and the origin of their civilization's name.

Although the sane "fire chasers" drove away them who had just ascended to heaven, they didn't seem to think that they were offended, but seemed to understand that they were about to lose their wisdom. They did this to prevent harm to their indigenous civilizations. made.

Even after completely losing their minds, the "Fire Chaser" did not attack everywhere like a lunatic, but bound himself within civilization until the arrival of the battle royale, as if he followed his survival instinct.

In fact, they have never been "malicious" from the "fire chaser". Could it be that all of that is a lie for the sake of resurrection?
Suddenly, the illusion in front of the leader of "Chasing Light" changed, and he came to the "Dawn Star" home ship, which was full of plants and felt like a primitive planet.

He had a premonition, it seemed that there was "calling" him to go there.

Immediately, he ignored the sense of germination in his body, rushed out of the parliament, drove a spaceship from the mobile star port on the home ship, and left the home ship by himself, and went to the "Dawn Star" alone.

After that, all the "Light Chasing" people got rid of the weird hallucinations and the sense of germination in their bodies, looked around in surprise, and quickly set their sights on the landmark buildings of the Science Council, hoping that the government could give an explanation.

And the scientists in the parliament discovered that the leader was missing at this time, and hurriedly searched for his trace.

At this time, the leader of "Light Chaser" was already on the way, and he also felt the disappearance of the abnormality in his body, and he became more and more sure that "Fire Chaser" was not for resurrection.

The only thing he doesn't understand now is why the other party "summons" him.

The spacecraft is moving forward, and Li Wenyuan, who is 500 million light-years away, is also thinking about what just happened.

Although no one had time to explain to him in the hallucination, he still judged what happened through words.

Likewise, he doesn't think it's a backhand left behind by the "Firechaser" for resurrection.

The reason is pretty much the same as what the "Light Chaser" leader thought, but there is another point that he thinks it is impossible for the "Fire Chaser" to degenerate to such a situation in order to survive.

Even with the worst malice to speculate that civilization should be the norm in the interstellar world, Li Wenyuan also understands that there really are "pioneers" in the universe.

The original intention of the "Fire Chasers" is to accelerate the growth of the "Cradle" civilization. Will they abandon their original beliefs as "Pioneers" for their own survival?
The "Navigation Beacon" flickered slightly, and a certain string of "useless codes" that he passed on and hidden in the "Dimensional Manufacturing Machine" also started to work.

Under the influence of the extremely weak signal, a certain camera in the spaceship on which the leader of "Light Chasing" was also rotated unplanned, facing the leader of "Light Chasing" who was driving the spaceship.

time quietly flow

The leader of "Chasing Light" has arrived on the "Dawn Star" home ship, and he is the only one on board.

After landing in an open area without vegetation cover, he took the protective suit, hesitated and hung it up in the cabin again, and finally entered this plant world without protection.

The spaceship was filled with a completely different fresh breath from the "Song of Dawn". It was difficult for him to describe the feeling of this breath, but he felt that even his brain seemed to be much clearer.

The panic of coming here alone gradually calmed down. He seemed to hear the sound of plants breathing, but when he looked around, there was only silence.

And as soon as he saw the tall tower covered with vegetation like a "world tree", he understood his destination.

Without any hesitation, he went there, and no plants stopped him along the way. In the log of the expedition team, the translucent plants, which were like scourges, behaved quietly and without any aggressiveness at the moment.

Even if the leader of "Chasing Light" actively touches these plants, they will retract on their own initiative, instead of predating through the sense of touch as mentioned in the report.

Everything looks so beautiful, except for the lack of vitality, I can't find any shortcomings here.

The leader of "Chasing Light" even had the illusion that "such a world is the best" in a trance.

Here, there is no desire for survival and development, nor anxiety about imminent danger, it seems that there is only eternal silence.

He shook his head, expelled this illusion from his heart, and refocused on the "plant tower" in front of him.

There are no stars outside the home ship, and the artificial sun inside the ship has long been extinguished. It stands to reason that it should be pitch black, but the translucent plants can emit a slight fluorescence in the dark. Under the overlapping of countless vegetation, the home ship The interior is illuminated as if it were daytime.

Not only that, but the vegetation on his way forward will also make the fluorescent light flash, as if guiding him the way.

Under such circumstances, he easily came to the "World Tree".

Surrounded by plants, the tall tower that was not connected to the top of the spaceship has a large area of ​​canopy, as if it has become the supporting core of the entire spaceship.

At the gate of the tower, translucent plants still entrenched here, but the entrance was not closed, and the fluorescent flashes seemed to be urging him to enter.

Stepping on some limp plant roots, the leader of "Chasing Light" stepped onto the tower step by step.

He is not an engineer, but he walked to the top of the tower with ease. Apart from the fluorescent light showing him the way, he also saw traces left by "someone" along the way.

It seemed that someone had come before him, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered who it might be.

He also read the report of the expedition team, and knew that a solar engineer chose to sacrifice in order to buy time for the team.

He knew from the records of the soldier captain of the expedition that the solar engineer had escaped into the tower, and had strange behavior when he entered the tower.

This anomalous point has been infinitely magnified now, and it has also let the leader of "Chasing Light" know who may leave the traces.

In the end, he came to the top of the tower, where there was an observation deck, from which one could overlook the entire city inside the home ship.

The steel sky of the past has disappeared, only vegetation covers this world.

Although it is uninhabited and there is no sign of any animal activity, the vegetation emitting fluorescent light seems to represent "new life after the end of the world".

"……I am coming."
