Chapter 455: T's Past
Li Yang nodded, and then quickly said: "Stop, stop, I'm here to see T."
"Is he free? I have something to ask him about the epidemic."
"This guy has been pretending to be the Riddler from the beginning, and all the random questions are really annoying."
"Since the goal is to overcome the epidemic...we need his knowledge from the outside."
"Besides, it would be difficult for him alone to achieve any results here."
Datta was silent for a moment and nodded honestly in response:
"I understand, I will contact T for you."
After a moment, a figure wearing a silver-white mecha appeared on the screen opposite Li Yang.
"The God of Creation, Li Yang."
"Thank you for saving my life."
"Without your timely support in this operation, I'm afraid there really would be no way for me to escape."
"Please feel free to describe the problems you are experiencing."
"I will do my best to solve it for you."
The sound was sonorous and powerful, blended with the hum of many electronic pulses.
When I suddenly heard it, I felt a bit like I was in another world.
In the conversation with T, Li Yang elaborated on the difficulties they encountered in fighting the epidemic.
Although he has obtained some of the memories left by Hephaestus, he still cannot find a cure.
The epidemic is like an omnipresent terrifying beast that threatens the entire universe at all times.
T listened carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head.
Finally, he spoke:
"The epidemic you are facing has actually destroyed about 70% of the outer universe."
"Even in the history I know, that thing is the most terrifying thing in the universe."
"It originates from nothingness, is bred from chaos, and is a destructive force that existed at the beginning of the universe."
"Whether it's the main universe or other isolated virtual universes..."
"When civilization develops to a certain level, this kind of thing will always be born involuntarily..."
"As I said before, some external civilizations have to pay a huge price in order to avoid the spread of this disease..."
"After creating many closed dimensions of reality like yours and artificially interfering with the historical process, they tried to observe, hoping to find ways to suppress it."
Li Yang nodded slowly:
"So to a certain extent, the universe we are in now is a cage created to seal the disease, right?"
T responded in response: "It can be understood that those beings injected part of their power into this world and turned it into the seeds of the World Tree, weaving this dimension into an orderly system that never stops running..."
"And those born on the World Tree are what you call gods... These beings are not only the guardians of this universe, but also the law enforcers bound in this space."
"However, all things must die, even gods. They age, evolve, and die... causing the power of disease to quietly erode the world."
Artemis asked in confusion:
"Then where did Hephaestus discover this secret? How did he learn about the existence of [the epidemic]?"
T pondered for a moment and replied:
"Based on the information I saw when I was trapped in [Epidemic]'s body."
"Hephaestus once came into contact with some fragments of information from the outside and glimpsed the nature of the world from those fragments. So he took risks and tried to open the door to the world to find the so-called 'truth'."
"However, his behavior accelerated the release of the power of the disease... Zeus only resisted out of instinct, but could not completely prevent it from happening."
Demeter murmured to herself: "I see... That's why there was war and the destruction of the gods. And now, the disease has completely broken out and begun to devour the entire universe."
"It seems that we can't resist this kind of existence on our own... What about you? T? Don't you claim to be a doctor from the outside world? Do you have any specific solutions?"
T stared at Li Yang. After a long time, he finally spoke slowly:
"I didn't lie. I came here to eliminate [the epidemic]."
"In fact, it's not just about eradicating [the disease]..."
"I still need, please help."
"Help you break down the barriers together and head to a broader sky..."
"Then...use your strength to fight against this huge epidemic."
Li Yang was a little confused now:
"Isn't the epidemic just a restraint on our authority?"
"You are the ones with special attacks on that thing, right? You actually thought of asking us for help?"
"Besides... I thought the so-called [Supreme Will] would be more attractive."
"I never thought that the Creator would actually start asking for help from his own creation."
T sighed helplessly:
"The civilization that created the virtual universe...the existence you call the [Supreme Will] has been completely defeated by the ravages of the [epidemic]."
"And the characteristics of the epidemic in the outside world are exactly the same as here."
"They can all react with the matter and energy of the current universe and cause it to perish."
"Therefore, the existence of our own universe cannot deal with the disease of our own universe."
"The only way to resist the epidemic at present is to seek external assistance...."
"What do you think?"
"I will help you solve the troubles in your universe."
"You, come and help me."
Li Yang nodded, then smiled and shook his head:
"My answer is... yes, but I must be cautious first. Can you give me some reasons to trust you?"
"After all, there are too many mysteries about you. I can't just hand over the responsibility of the entire universe to you?"
T nodded, as if he had expected Li Yang to say this:
"I understand your concerns. In fact, I have been waiting for someone among you to raise questions."
He stretched out his palm and projected a three-dimensional image in mid-air. The image shows a distant and glorious Milky Way, and the brilliant nebula is constantly surging and changing.
"This is the appearance of the main universe I come from. The technology is very advanced, and the civilization has reached a very high level. But even in such an environment, the epidemic still broke out."
The image switched, and destroyed planets appeared one after another, and the surface of the planet was devastated. Finally, a huge vortex engulfed the entire galaxy.
"This is the tragedy that the plague brought to our home. We have tried countless methods, but unfortunately none of them worked."
"For this reason, we even tried to shake time, but still couldn't reverse the spread of the plague."
"After that, we found your isolated virtual universe in the main universe and found that it had not been infected much..."
