Screaming Cycle

When Ji Tuan realized that he had to figure out where he was, he began to look around.

Compared with the space that was too white to distinguish between the sky and the earth, where he was now was more like a corridor with an overly strong sense of science and technology.

Solid-color floor tiles, translucent walls made of unknown materials, embedded in the walls, lighting facilities that can not see the specific shape but can emit bright and soft light, and the top, deep and endless. Of the dome.

Ji Xuan made a low "Ah" cry.

He was pretty sure that he had seen a similar "ceiling"-it was the hourglass cube that they had to enter every time they draw lots.

"So, we are in the Hourglass Cube now?"

Ji Lu turned his head, trying to find approval from Ren Jianmo.

Mr. Ren smiled.

"You guessed it right. In a sense, we are indeed inside the Hourglass Cube."

Ji Lu: "???"

The doubt in his eyes grew deeper.

In fact, Ji Xiaoniao has a lot of questions that he wants to ask Ren Damei in his family. One of the most urgent is-how do you know these?

"I do know more than you."

Ren Jianmo seemed to read Ji Shu's heart using "God said to have light", and he could easily see through the other party's question.

With that, he took Ji Shu's hand and led him through the corridor step by step.

"Partly because of the answers I got in'Brahma', and partly because of my abilities."

If time permits, Ren Jianmo is very willing to tell Ji Lu about his second ability "Hunyuan Youdao", but at this time, a sea of ​​light has appeared above their heads.

Ji Lu: "!!!"

He raised his head and looked at the top of his head in surprise.

For a moment, Ji Tuan felt like he had walked into the viewing tunnel of a large aquarium.

Because, in the endless darkness beyond the depth of his vision, there are a large number of fluorescent blue or fluorescent yellow luminous bodies floating.

They are like a bunch of jellyfish, light and elegant, but when you look closely, they don't have any entities that can be seen with the naked eye, just clusters of light **** emitting bright fluorescence.

At the bottom of these light clusters, numerous slender and slender "tentacles" were dragged out, and the ends of the roots were linked to each other to form a beautiful and huge spider web.

Ji Lu: "What are these?"

"The guy who brought us into the'Peach Blossom Spring'."

Ren Jian thought for a while and added:

"Or it's the spiritual body."

Ji Lu: "???"

Poorly he was a sports student who hadn't touched physics after the exam, and what he was most afraid of was these terms that sounded very tall and incomprehensible.

Just when Ji Xiaoniao wanted Ren Jianmo to explain to him again, the "net" directly above the two suddenly opened a gap.

A few light blue "jellyfish" released part of their "tentacles", and then Ji Shun saw the tentacles swinging softly and hanging down.

Classmate Little Bird almost reflexively jumped a step back, exploding the hair all over her body like a frightened cat, and put on a defensive posture.

There is really no way. After staying in the "Peach Blossom Spring" for a long time, I have been forced to develop a strong sense of crisis. When I see an unknown object approaching, I will have this reaction.

"Tentacles" seemed to see Ji Shu's warning, did not approach any more, just drifting in the air, keeping a distance of one meter from him, and testing far away.

At this time, Ren Jianmo stretched out his hand and took the initiative to touch those "tentacles."

Ji Lu: "!!!"

He saw that these "tentacles" were the same as their bodies. They had no substance at all, but strands of light that were as thin as spider silk.

These light filaments looked extremely soft, but the moment they touched Ren Jianmo's palm, they were all stretched straight and "stabbed" into his skin.

Ji Lu was very worried, and carefully observed Ren Jianmo's expression.

At this moment, Ren Damei, his eyes closed slightly, as if an old monk had entered concentration.

So Ji Lu could only follow his way, and stretched out his hand to touch the "tentacles" floating in the air.

Immediately, a few strands of silk thread gathered and plunged into his hand.

Ji Lu: "!!!"

For an instant, he felt his knees soften, and he staggered backward, almost sitting on the ground without a butt.

After a long absence for six months, he once again felt the shock of the first time he faced "God said there must be light."

Plural thoughts penetrated his brain at the same time, buzzing together, but none of them belonged to him.

People who have never experienced it for the first time have the illusion that they are suddenly crazy, and it is easy for people to doubt life.

Fortunately, Ji Xiaoniao is a clever boy, and soon learnt to learn without a teacher, and learned to ignore these thoughts that suddenly flooded his mind.

After shielding most of the messy voices, Ji Yu began to talk to one of the "people".

"Congratulations, I finally found us."

That voice said to Ji Shu.

&&&&&&&&&

Finally, from the thoughts conveyed by Guangsi, Ji Lu figured out what everything he had experienced for a long time.

The light cluster floating in mid-air was once a life form living in a certain cosmic plane.

In terms of biological characteristics, these "aliens" have a high degree of genetic similarity with humans.

If you have to go back to the source, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "ancestor" of mankind.

Of course, their history is much longer than that of human beings on the earth, and their level of technology is far better than the current level of the earth.

It's just that when their civilization has developed to a certain stage, with the addition of high technology, many genetic modification, drugs, training and strengthening technologies have emerged.

People on the planet have become smarter and stronger. Newborn babies are the product of perfect splicing of gene fragments from the embryonic stage.

Then, at a certain period, among these people, a group of particularly outstanding people appeared.

They are like abilities such as Ji Tuan and Ren Jianmo, in the process of continuous "optimization" and "adjustment", or "artificial evolution", they have far more power than ordinary people.

The abilities are divided into two directions, physical strengthening and spiritual strengthening.

In the beginning, the ability makers were inevitably excluded and hostile, but as more and more such people gradually became the "majority" of the crowd, the evolution of the ability became the mainstream of society.

Powerful abilities mean greater advantages, but also mean aloof status.

Under the premise of genetic control, people began to argue about the direction of the evolution of abilities.

The superpowers of the two factions gradually divided into two opposing camps, and repeated conflicts triggered global-scale wars.

The destructive power of supernatural powers and high-tech is incredible. When the war is over, the planet has become a wasteland.

The tragic battle ended with the victory of the spiritual evolutionist.

The survivors began to rebuild the city little by little, and at the same time they never gave up further research on spiritual evolution.

However, they didn't know at the time that compared to war, this was the real end of civilization.

Because, for the human beings on that planet, the end point of the evolution of the spiritual system's supernatural powers is the separation of the spirit from the physical body, and the spiritual body transcends the dimension to become a higher-level existence...

...

Ji Shu: "..."

He was really a little confused.

He tried to digest this concept silently, but as soon as the thought came up, it instantly spread through the entire network through the light filaments connected to the spiritual bodies, and immediately many voices poured into his brain, rushing. Explain the concept of "high-dimensional organisms".

Poor Ji Xiaoniao only feels a splitting headache, and once again confirms that he hates this way of communication very, very much.

Finally, after a lot of unclear physics terms were bombarded in turn, he finally got a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

To put it simply, when people evolve to the advanced stage of separation of spirit and body, the "quality" of the spirit is too large, and the body can no longer accommodate it, it will "sublimate" into a higher dimensional space and exist in the form of a pure consciousness.

But even high-latitude creatures are not immortal.

The consciousness body still has energy consumed for a day when it cannot maintain the mind, and it degenerates into a pure energy body, and after a long period of time, it dissipates completely.

[The yellow light clusters you see are pure energy bodies. 】

Ji Yu caught this sentence in several different voices, and couldn't help but raise his head and carefully observed the light net hanging over his head again.

Within the range of vision, most of the "jellyfish" are fluorescent yellow, accounting for about three-quarters, and only a few still emit bright green light.

——So, you don’t have much time left, right?

Ji Lu asked in his heart.

[Yes, we have no time. 】

Many consciousnesses speak in unison at this time.

After the world war, the planet's population has been extremely declining, and the birth rate is shockingly low. However, the more powerful a person is, the faster the spiritual upgrade will be.

What's more terrible is that although the spirit body can survive only by consuming its own energy and has a long life span ten times that of humans, it cannot reproduce, replicate, or regenerate in any form.

In other words, when all human beings that can be upgraded have been upgraded, they will no longer be able to increase the number of mental bodies.

When these spiritual bodies "look down" on their home planet from a higher dimension, they suddenly discovered that on a certain day, the once prosperous and beautiful blue planet has completely become a gray, dirty and ugly death. star.

They destroyed a planet, a civilization.

--I see.

Ji Shu thought.

While listening to the spirits telling the history of the home planet, Ji Xiaoniao also shared some of their memories.

Although it was just some broken fragments, he still felt a faint pain in his heart.

He has seen a lot of eschatological movies, novels, comics, or documentaries, and occasionally meets some pessimistic eschatologists, and hears from them an extremely terrible future.

But these are far less touching than seeing it with your own eyes.

--Understood.

Ji Shu thought silently.

——When all the energy of the spiritual body is exhausted, you will be annihilated.

As soon as the idea came out, he felt a lot of sad emotions passed into his mind through the mental network.

——But what does it have to do with "Peach Blossom Spring"?

Ji Xiaoniao continued to ask.
