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.
The leader of the "Light Chaser" in the Homeship Science Council also had the same hallucination. At this moment, he understood that the fact that their origin is the "Fire Chaser" is probably true.
He knew that there was indeed a "World Tree" in their history.
At that time, they were still aboriginal, 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 seems that when "Zhuguang" first formed civilization, the giant tree entered into shrinkage.
Just like the melting glaciers on an ordinary planet that has been ecologically damaged, 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 became only a record in history.
The era has undergone numerous changes, and the memory of the giant tree is gradually being forgotten.
In the 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 illusion proves their origin.
"But, what are these hallucinations? And..."
A certain scientist in the parliament 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 remembered a theory related to genetics.
"This...couldn't it be that the 'Fire Chaser' wants to be 'reborn' with us?"
That theory believes that genes preserve memory, as long as a person's genes can be perfectly copied, then this person can achieve the resurrection of the soul in the sense of death.
The basis of this theory is "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 the 'Dawn Star' is what we are 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 thought that the corpse was digested by plants, but the truth may be worse than they guessed. Those plants might be their former "citizens", but they were reborn compatriots after they were reborn from the cocoon of the "fire chaser".
Almost everyone is sure that all this is the 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 in the field, 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 considered 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 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 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 following the instinct of survival.
In fact, they have never been "malicious" from the "Fire Chaser". Could it be that all of that is a lie for 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.
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 this, all the people of "Chasing Light" 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.
The scientists in the parliament discovered that the leader was missing at this time, and hurriedly searched for him.
At this time, the leader of "Chasing Light" 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 "Chasing Fire" was not for resurrection.
The only thing he doesn't understand now is why the other party wants to "summon" him.
The spaceship is moving forward, and Li Wenyuan, who is five 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.
Similarly, he doesn't think it's the backhand left by the "Firechaser" for resurrection.
The reason is pretty much the same as what the leader of "Chasing Light" thought, but there is another point that he believes that it is impossible for "Fire Chasing" to fall into 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 "Chasing Light" was also turned unexpectedly, facing the leader of "Chasing Light" who was driving the spaceship.
Time flows quietly
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 fresh breath that was completely different 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 more awake.
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 the "World Tree", he understood his destination.
He went there without any hesitation, and there were no plants to stop him along the way. The translucent plants that looked like scourges in the logbook of the expedition team behaved quietly and without any aggression at the moment.
Even if the leader of "Chasing Light" actively touches these plants, they will retract on their own initiative, instead of preying 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 impending 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 fluorescent lights flash, as if guiding him the way.
Under such circumstances, he easily came to the "World Tree".
The tall tower that was not connected to the top of the spaceship also appeared surrounded by plants with a large area of canopy, as if it became the supporting core of the entire spaceship.
At the gate of the tower, translucent plants still linger here, but the entrance is not closed, and the fluorescent flashes seem 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.
From the transcripts of the expedition’s soldier captain, he knew that the solar engineer had escaped into the tower, and had strange behavior when entering the tower.
This abnormal point has been infinitely magnified now, and it also lets the leader of "Chasing Light" know who may leave the trace.
Finally, he came to the top of the tower, where there is an observation deck, from which you can overlook the whole 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."
