Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 68 The Lost History

The exploration of the fourth segment of the ring world was surprisingly simple. The civilization that was trying to ascend did not leave anything difficult to deal with except for a big explosion.

At least it is better than the third segment of the ring world. After the control center is rebuilt and the ecology here returns to normal, the fourth segment of the ring world will be a very perfect segment of the ring world.

Although he had gained a ring world, Li Wenyuan had mixed emotions.

This ring world looks like this, what will happen to other similar buildings left by humans?
Humans will definitely not build only one such thing as the ring world. If the aborigines taken in by other humans are also a group of crouching dragons and phoenixes, then what he will receive when he recycles in the past may not be the bombed and fragmented ring world.

"...I hope there will be some natives who keep their own way in the future..." He could only force himself to comfort himself, and began the most difficult third stage of the restoration process of the ring world.

"But speaking of it, did the psychic natives here sign a contract with that so-called 'End of Reincarnation', which directly caused their own civilization to explode?"

Li Wenyuan thought of the explanation given by the aborigine chosen before. Although his civilization was destroyed because of "the end of reincarnation", they also received great help before they were destroyed.

According to the saying, this is the gift of "End of Reincarnation" before charging interest.

But when liquidation occurs, the more previously given, the more received back.

Even the population of an indigenous civilization can form a "distorted consciousness" that is not too weak.

So what will happen if the population grows by tens or hundreds of times, and the level of civilization surpasses that of the indigenous people for several generations?
"...In the idealistic civilization in the galaxy, no one will sign a contract with the 'End of Reincarnation', right?" The more he thought about it, the more likely it became.

The pursuit of progress is something every civilization will do, and "End of Reincarnation" can obviously bring about progress within a certain period of time.

The signatories may not know what the consequences of this will be, or they may know, but think they have a way to solve it, just like this indigenous civilization.

But if someone really signs it, then the galactic civilization may have to be prepared to face a group of more powerful "distorted consciousness", and even need to face even more terrifying virtual creatures that may be born.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Wenyuan decided to issue a notice to Galaxy, clarifying the possible harm caused by the "End of Reincarnation", at least let the civilizations who want to sign carefully consider it.

He didn't expect idealistic civilizations to listen to him, but sometimes it only took a little doubt to make them give up this potentially extremely risky behavior.

So all the interstellar civilizations in the galaxy received a message from the "Guardian" not long after.

"...'The end of reincarnation'? This thing sounds very magical. Which stupid magic stick is predicting the end of the galaxy?"

In Corebo's trading station, while listening to his subordinate's report, Breining casually criticized this kind of unscientific thing.

He is a staunch materialist. Although the existence of psionic power and virtual world has been confirmed, he is still not optimistic about it, let alone the mysterious-sounding "end of reincarnation".

After his subordinates heard this sentence, they held back for a while, and then said angrily:

"This... This news came from the 'Guardian'. He broadcast this matter to the whole galaxy. As for whether it is true or not, it has not yet been verified..."

But he saw that Breining, who was still very sloppy before, straightened up instantly with a serious face, nodded and praised:

"A great discovery. This is worrying about our future! Quickly, send me an order to replace the advertising screen here with this message, and broadcast it on a loop for a month!"

His expression looked very serious, as if he had really seen the moment when "the end of reincarnation" came.

But that's not what you said just now...

Although this subordinate was slanderous in his heart, he still had a flattering look on the surface, and he nodded and bowed to accept Brainin's order.

And after he left, Braining changed back to that plain look, and began to tap on the table with his fingers.

"...Is it a threat from the Void Realm? How many threats like this will exist in the Milky Way and beyond?"

"Sure enough, strength is still needed..."

……

The spiritual civilizations also received this message from the "Guardian".

The vast majority of civilizations are ambiguous about this. After all, although the content is terrifying, it has to meet the "end of reincarnation" in the virtual world.

In fact, a large part of them don't even know that there are things in the virtual world that can sign a contract, and they are still in the initial stage of using the virtual world.

But a certain civilization that "has made a lot of achievements" in the virtual world doesn't think so.

"The 'Guardian' has sent news that there is a terrible thing in the Void Territory, and it seems likely to be the existence that signed a contract with us. How about it, let's talk about it?"

An elder of the Great Clan of Duncomb projected the Guardian's message onto the conference table for all to see.

But everyone had read the news long ago, and their choices were almost overwhelmingly unanimous.

"...Whether it is true or not, we have already signed the contract, and this news is meaningless." An elder shook his head and abstained.

Another elder said: "Encountering difficulties and solving them is part of the way forward. Even if it really brings destruction, I think we can find a way before that."

After all, he voted in favor, expressing his belief that he should continue on.

"As the elders of Lingmiao said, if destruction is unavoidable, then moving forward is the best choice." Another elder voted in favor.

As the process accelerated, more and more people voted for it. Although some people chose to abstain, there were no opponents.

And the last voter was a very young elder.

He is a person who stands out from the masses after the "Great Awakening Movement".

Spirit energy seemed to take special care of him, and it didn't take long for him to take the position of elder, and he was the youngest among the elders here.

His eyes swept across the people in the conference room, and then he said loudly:
"... To be honest, I have always been very puzzled, why we need to mobilize people for such a piece of news that is not true or false."

"Why? Just because he is a lost empire? Even if it is a lost empire, it should be announced by the 'Watcher', not by a group of robots who cannot enter the virtual world."

The elders looked at each other, not understanding why he said these words for a moment.It's just a vote, and it will be done in a few minutes. Isn't this a waste of everyone's time?
An elder couldn't help reminding: "Elder Gnostics, voting is just a habit that we have continued before we went to the stars, but any event involving the entire civilization needs to be voted. In fact, all of us know what the result will be, but There is still a need to keep the program working."

"So why? As long as it is a lost empire, do we have to be so cautious? Aren't they a group of outdated antiques? Given time, they will also be defeated by us!" The young elder still expressed deep dissatisfaction with this.

In the end, the great elder of the Dancom big group sighed and said:

"The lost empires once had a glorious history. You can think that they are not enterprising and lifeless now, but you can't underestimate or even insult them because of this."

"Sometimes, their loss is not even because they want to lose so much, but because they lost too much in the process of fighting the enemy of the galaxy."

"So much so that when they came back to their senses, they had already forgotten who they were."

"Maybe we can indeed beat them in the future, but we still need to respect them, whether as opponents or as former defenders."

These words with some kind of deep meaning shocked everyone present, and one elder couldn't help asking:

"Great Elder, where are you from..."

But the elder did not explain, just shook his head and announced the end of the voting ceremony, and let everyone return to their respective posts.

And Li Wenyuan, after all the control centers in the four-stage ring world were repaired and the connection was re-established, he got the news that humans left here.
