Text Chapter 1,235 Independence and Fairness

what happened?

Zhao Nan couldn't help but lowered his head and pondered... The only prototype of the Ninth... will it grow into a complete indicator leading to everything right when the new era changes?

From a literal understanding, can the light ball in front of us be understood as the carrier of this indicator? But who does the carrier contain?

The answer seems obvious...that is the only one in the Eighth Age.

But... it stands to reason that the moment an era is born, the One should exist... The Ninth One?

That is to say, the ‘one’ in the eighth era should be the eighth one. The light ball in front of you will be the only carrier of the eighth. If this is the case, then at the beginning of the eighth era, there should be a same ball of light, as the only carrier of the previous era of the eighth era, the seventh era...the seventh.

That’s right to think about it…but in this case, there’s still something wrong with it—the only thing that should happen is that it should coincide with the new era.

Is it because the Eighth Age has not yet been completely destroyed?

Alice once said that the collapse of the Eighth Era this time was much slower than any previous one - this slowed down process was due to the unique relationship between the first and third clones of the Eighth Era. With joint efforts, the relationship was sealed...

"But it's strange. Logically speaking, I can complete my growth after shaping the beginning of the ninth era. Why is it still in this state after such a long time? You are a person from the eighth era. , should you know something?”

The sound of the light ball suddenly floated to Zhao Nan's ears.

Asking him about this kind of thing seems to be of no use... In fact, Zhao Nan was greatly surprised that the light ball, which was the only carrier of the Ninth, would actually ask such a question. However. If you think about it carefully, if this light ball is not included in the Eighth One, if it is just a childish consciousness-under the premise that it doesn't know anything, it will only ask...ask the person it thinks it can get an answer from.

Zhao Nan, who came from the eighth era, seemed to be an object of inquiry in the mind of this light ball.

Zhao Nan suddenly raised his head...because of the question from this light ball. The doubt in my mind was instantly solved: By the way, if the transition between the old and the new era cannot be completed in an instant, there must be a process. If the Eighth Era came to an end, then the Ninth Era should have begun to shape up before it was completely destroyed. This shaping process is also the only process of the previous era, which is gradually injected into the carrier of the next era.

Then, at the moment when the long era is destroyed, a new era can be born. And the whole process of becoming a complete indicator.

Obviously, because the Eighth One was temporarily sealed, this transformation process was temporarily interrupted-the light ball in front of him also retained a little immature consciousness, and in this era, he had nothing to do.

"If you think about it this way, it seems that everything can be straightened out...?" Zhao Nan looked at the ball of light in front of him, and the stars in his eyes began to flicker again.

He seemed to feel the complex emotions in these eyes. The ball of light retreated slightly, "I feel something from you that is not good for me. Can you let go of your mind and let me feel what you are thinking? Just like them."

They——probably refers to everyone in this station.

It seems that because it has assimilated the troops in these stations and the consciousness of the Queen and others, the light ball is able to directly communicate with Zhao Nan - in fact, this light ball probably wanted to directly assimilate Zhao Nan at the beginning. Awareness, getting what you want to know.

It doesn't think there's anything wrong with this behavior - it can do it easily. At the same time, no one ever told it there was anything wrong with this behavior.

All things...the entire era are constructed by it. As a creator-like existence, it is the master of all phenomena. As a host. There is no need to ask for opinions on your own private property.

However, he suddenly encountered a... creature that could resist his assimilation. This has never happened to him before, so he feels scared.

At this time, even if it is the master of the ninth era, it will still feel panic because of things beyond its understanding.

This carrier...

It seemed to be slowly starting to move away from him.

This time away, maybe he will never appear in front of Zhao Nan again - for this new consciousness, once fear arises, he will hide forever.

Zhao Nan had a feeling that he couldn't just leave this ball of light - a premonition from overlapping divine will. But for what reason, it was unclear at this time.

But it stands to reason that I should stay away from this guy - this is the only carrier of the Ninth Era, and I am afraid it will be the core of the Ninth Era in the future, something similar to the Origin Network of the Eighth Era. Facing it was equivalent to facing the entire ninth era. The reason why Zhao Nan felt that extremely uncomfortable heaviness and his heart was beating wildly was for this reason.

"You... come back first, I have something to ask you."

"Now that I think about it, I have no obligation to answer the creatures from the previous era, and I shouldn't have come into contact with you. You made me feel in danger."

As expected of his nascent consciousness, he had no intention of hiding his thoughts at all - but this seemed better. Zhao Nan took a deep breath and let the starlight in his eyes slowly dissipate. Instead of putting on a full-body defense posture, he tried to make the light ball lower its guard against him. "What now?"

"It seems...a little better, but I still shouldn't approach you."

As expected, he was completely defenseless.

Zhao Nan allowed himself to become more peaceful - but this ball of light was far smarter than he imagined, or rather willful. Once its alertness is lowered, it begins to try to assimilate its own thoughts.

Perhaps for it, things that cannot be assimilated are not worthy of trust - it needs to thoroughly understand all the thoughts of a living being before it can be sure that the other party cannot threaten itself.

"What... is your name?" Zhao Nan suddenly asked.

"Me? I don't have a name. Why do I need a name?" The ball of light asked curiously: "As long as the change of eras is completed, I will disappear. There is no difference whether I have a name or not."

Zhao Nan raised his eyebrows: "Disappear? Are you willing that your existence will disappear?"

"Are you willing? Why not? I was born to accept the indicators of the previous era. If I can't complete this task, I shouldn't appear."

"But you know how to think."

"Because I need to manage the operation of the new era, before the indicators arrive. So I need a little thinking ability."

"You know how to think, that's right...you are."

"?"

The sound of the light ball suddenly became softer——,. ,,,,,,…

It kept repeating these two words, as if without the slightest consciousness - but in Zhao Nan's eyes, the ball of light continued to shrink at this time. As it contracts, the light released continues to change.

It is so defenseless that this change in appearance can easily be seen, which is also a change in his thoughts.

"Do I need it?"

Perhaps for the first time, Guangqiu expressed confusion about this issue. This is the effect Zhao Nan needs - in fact, he is not sure that such an approach is feasible. And also with the mentality of giving it a try. At the same time, it is also to gain more time to think about the current situation.

It's not dangerous now. This ball of light will leave at any time out of fear. And Zhao Nan can return to the Eighth Era through the crack at any time. But this is not a dangerous situation, but it is an extremely important encounter!

He met the indicator carrier of the Ninth Age - this was probably something that he had never encountered in the First and Third Branches of Paradise 27,000 years ago.

Zhao Nan even has a bold guess, that is, if the Eighth Era's only one loses the Ninth Era's carrier, will it not be able to become a complete indicator in the Ninth Era... It will not be as good as it was in the Eighth Era. of strength.

"Don't you need it?"

This is a guy who can think for himself, since he can think for himself. Then asking a rhetorical question seems to be the best answer. Zhao Nan tried to guide this nascent consciousness to the state that was the only opposition to the eighth era.

Even if there is no confrontation, as long as there is a slight difference, what will be gained. It is definitely much larger than imagined.

,,,,,…

The light ball once again fell into the same repetition - the light ball trapped in this dead end seemed to easily ignore the things around it. For example, it didn't really notice the slightest change on Zhao Nan's face.

There was a trace of expectation in his eyes, expecting that the light ball could continue to amplify this contradiction according to its current state. Anyway, the complete indicator of the eighth era is now in a sealed state. Zhao Nan felt that at this time You can really instigate this ball of light without any scruples.

"But... what exactly is it? We shouldn't. Only collective consciousness and things decided by the collective are the most correct choices."

us?

Zhao Nan's expression was stunned. He was not sure what the so-called "we" was referring to... was it special and unique to the eighth era, or was there something else?

"If you think that way, I have nothing to say." Zhao Nan shrugged and said, "I just think that you finally gave birth to your own consciousness, but you can't maintain it for long, and you can't even feel this new consciousness. The changes created in the ninth era cannot witness the splendid civilization that will be born in the future... It's all just because you are just a carrier, so you can't feel these. But in fact, the new era. The creation is almost all due to you. Think about this state, you have made countless efforts, and in the end, your consciousness still needs to die, waiting for the complete indicators of the previous era to be obtained, and to receive all the results... Everything here, including primitive humans, dinosaurs, and even the humble living grass, will not remember you, let alone know you. Do you think this is fair?"

A certain balance seemed to begin to tilt in the light ball's thoughts following Zhao Nan's words - without being able to communicate with the complete indicators of the previous era, the limited and monotonous level of the light ball's thoughts did not even know What should I think about next.

At first, it only had some simple behavior patterns, which was to try its best to shape everything in this new era to be perfect. However, because it could not get more instructions from the complete indicators of the previous era for too long, it could only maintain the current state without change.

Every day, it gave birth to the idea that "it seems not good to continue like this" - because of the emergence of this idea, more and more problems gradually emerged within this simple consciousness.

Before Zhao Nan arrived, that is, after the troops of the Shadow Empire were stationed here, it had been observing silently - until today, an irresistible impulse made it show itself in front of everyone and directly assimilate the consciousness of everyone here.

But before it had time to digest this information, it met a strange guy that could not be assimilated.

He asked himself two questions.

Do you think you are?

Do you think this is fair?

Two questions that could not be answered in its mind - however, vaguely, it seemed to feel that these two questions made it feel very inconsistent in its mind.

It was hard for it to understand what this disharmony was, but it began to feel fear - fear, it actually felt this strange emotion - before this manifestation, it had only seen this emotion when primitive humans were unable to defeat the giant dinosaurs.

What was it afraid of... fear that everything the other party said would happen?

"This era... is very beautiful."

After a long time, the light ball suddenly stopped moving, but its voice became clearer than before: "It's really beautiful, I spent a lot of effort. In the only time when the eighth could not connect with me, I kept perfecting it... It's really beautiful, very beautiful..."

"Yes, any complete era has incomparable beauty." Zhao Nan nodded and said: "What's more, it was shaped by you, just like your child. However, when the old and new eras alternate, you must disappear and hand your child to others. In the end... your child will never know your existence. How pathetic are you?"

"My, my, my, my... my child!" Suddenly piercing: "I don't want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The world was instantly whistling with winds, and the sky collapsed and the earth broke.

The light ball suddenly expanded and became extremely huge, but it rushed towards Zhao Nan... (To be continued, please search for Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
