Returning from the abyss

"Surface knowledge cannot change the essence of things. Under the seemingly stable appearance, the world we live in is operating with a very twisted logic."

Christine wrote quickly on the blackboard.

"The deviation of the sun comes from failed observers, which stems from the earliest disaster. People's final failure left behind a group of monsters. They died together, leaving behind a universe that was rolled back."

Lewanska listened to Kristine's lecture, but she thought about the information book that Kristine had compiled.

The loopholes created by the doomsday have not been repaired at all, they have just been hidden so that people cannot see them at all in normal life.

If civilization had seen double suns since its birth, it would not have thought there was anything abnormal about double suns.

If people don't see something from the beginning, they won't think there is anything strange around them.

If the recorded races in history were seven, then they would consider this number to be normal.

If there are gods in the world, then gods are natural.

Except for a few individuals who are more thoughtful and inquiring, most people will not find any problem with this. However, when Kristine revealed everything one by one, even Lewanska felt frightened.

The underlying logic of this world is like a program full of bugs that somehow manages to run; or a patient suffering from a variety of weird diseases who can barely hang on to life by relying on some external force.

Although Lewanska has seen a lot, she is now worried about the future of this world.

"We have cognitive locks in our minds, three ways." Christine pointed to her head.

Their respective functions are to reconstruct dark matter cognitive filtering, suppress negative emotions, and reorganize mathematical concepts.

"Our bodies have undergone five revisions and transformations."

The temperature sense is adapted and reconstructed, the sensitivity of the planet is blunted, the need for life support is shifted, the death of the organism is deepened, and the life signals are desynchronized.

Lewanska remembered what Christine said when she explained it to him.

"The degree of racial deviation of the seven races is enough to produce reproductive isolation, but they can still produce demi-humans. Why? I haven't developed the genetic tools yet, but based on the data I have produced before, I can already deduce it. "

There was originally only one race in this world.

Where are there so many diverse ethnic groups? The current divisions among these races are naturally due to the inability to maintain unity through the various transformations that have fallen on their bodies and consciousness.

"The elves can be reborn once through their Elf Tree, which also allows their race to live longer than other races. But this is the result of the failure to deepen the biological death. The elemental body's ability to perceive nature Stronger than other races, they are even born with a certain elemental affinity, but this is a manifestation of the failure of the planet's acute degradation. The phantom's thinking synchronization is a failure of life signal desynchronization, the orcs are a failure of thermoadaptation and regeneration, and the orcs It is a failure to offset the need for subsistence."

As for humans, they are the only race in which all surgeries are successful.

"But this doesn't mean that humans are a superior race, Lewanska, do you know what this means?"

"Of course I know," Lewanska murmured.

This is equivalent to the fact that in order to survive and adapt to the environment, the civilizations on this planet have repeatedly cut off their ability to perceive the outside world and weakened their body functions. A powerful ethnic group that should have had the strengths of all races has now reduced itself to Weakened to the point of "humanity", we can adapt to today's environment.

Survival of the fittest does not mean degrading oneself step by step.

Christine slammed the table.

"What are your expressions like that?"

As Christine spoke, the expressions on Yang and others' faces changed from the initial concentration on their thoughts to ashen expressions.

They are relatively clear about their abilities. If there were one or two of those problems, they might dare to challenge them. But as Christine's description exceeded their ability, confusion began to appear on each of their faces. , followed by a sense of despair about the future.

"Teacher Christine, we really don't know how to deal with this situation. What you said is something we have never heard of. Even if we know that this situation exists, I don't know how to solve it. What's more, it's still like this Much..." Yang said with a bitter smile.

"Now that I have told you the problem, I want to solve it. With your sad faces, could it be that you have lost confidence?"

"No! Teacher, we will definitely be with you, but..."

"No! Yang, you know why I chose you in the first place, so you must show the same qualities now. Is it because the enemy you face this time is no longer a slave-catching team but a world disaster? , are you ready to give up resistance?" Kristine said loudly, "And you! Yang called all of you over, not just to listen to what I said. After listening to what I said, you must make Act accordingly! Get rid of all the fears and confusions in your minds! I will tell you what to do next, and you must also grasp your own direction!"

At this time, the discussion between Lu Ning and Humphrey also reached a critical point.

"Doomsday, this is a very common word for us. We have just confirmed that the twelve doomsday messages are consistent with each other, so do you think these doomsdays are special?" Humphrey asked.

"Speciality?"

"How is it different from the apocalypse we have seen in other scenes?" Humphrey asked. "We have been thinking about how to solve it, but the twelve crises are too difficult to deal with together. And conversely , isn’t it also outrageous that there are twelve doomsdays on a planet that destroy civilization but do not cause much damage to the planet? They appear so suddenly, and then disappear after destroying the civilization, just like assassins." He also thought of this direction. , the unity of the doomsday and the response plan. However, Lu Ning looked at Humphrey and felt that this man still had reservations.

"What you just said is special, right?"

"Maybe, but I think this derivation process is not over yet. We can't just conclude that this is the end of this scene. The mission of the distribution center must have prompted something, but we haven't understood it yet."

"Then let me ask a question about the distribution center mission first." Lu Ning said, "Based on the current situation we have encountered, the difficulty ranking of the main missions is considered normal. After all, if we tourists are involved in a fight, we will definitely It’s very intense. However, the difficulty of the optional missions seems to be lower than that of the main story.”

"Oh?"

"Humphrey, when we advance, tasks are basically distributed according to certain rules. Although optional tasks are not necessarily more difficult than main tasks, the overall difficulty of optional tasks must be higher than that of main tasks. It's a challenge for now. But this time, our main plot may be facing the destruction of the world. Relatively speaking, the war between gods and demons and the things left over from the war don't seem to be a big problem. I have already seen the creation of seeds by gods. Although it is very powerful, it is still far behind what we were just discussing."

"Hunting... four consecutive hunting missions. But they are all just remnants of the hunting war."

"I will refer to your biological modification technology, Humphrey. If you were allowed to use it freely, what level could you reach in two years?"

"Leave the surface." Humphrey said, "The time is still a bit short. I can make some creatures fly directly into space with mechanical assistance, and I can also strengthen people to be more than ten times stronger than their current individual strength. But I have not encountered Having been to the races designated for hunting, I cannot judge the strength or weakness.”

"I don't think the god-made seed I met can be used as a yardstick - it's just some scattered scores." Lu Ning thought for a while and said.

Humphrey agreed: "You also said that the species created by gods are probably one of the easiest to hunt, just like the demon species. We have learned some historical data, and the descriptions of species created by gods and demon species are basically the same. The above refers to the main force of the war at that time, and the largest number of survivors."

"The problem lies with the latter two." Lu Ning said.

When four hunting missions are arranged in front of them in almost the same format, many people will subconsciously not correctly measure the difficulty differences between them. But what if the divine species and the evil demon species are not at the same level as the first two?
Among the races provoked by the demons, there are five types of demons: heavenly demons, evil demons, fire demons, sea demons and monsters. However, battlefield records are the most difficult to restore. Apart from the battle reports left by some angels, there is no way to know the specific situation. many. On this basis, it is normal to equate the two races of heavenly demons and evil demons.

"There is even the issue of the last mission, the unification of Haifa." Humphrey said, "I do not deny that this mission may include the participation of tourists, thereby increasing the difficulty, but I still feel that the difficulty coefficient of this mission is a bit low. Apart from anything else, if the two of us form one force, it probably won't be very difficult to wipe out the mainland."

"In other words, there must be other obstacles to unification." Lu Ning continued, "Even as powerful as Angel, they have not forcibly completed the unification of the continent. But in fact, according to the results we have seen, Angel's technology Horizontally crushing all the remaining races, even some border barren lands look down upon it, but the countries of the seven native races still have a lot of fertile land, and even places like the Green Plains are not dominated by the Angel family."

Angels don't think highly of native races, this is something they have discovered a long time ago. They will not let it go lightly out of emotions such as pity, and this race cannot be called peaceful and friendly. The angels first established the country but won the territory purely through force and intimidation.

Thinking about it from her perspective, if Lu Ning were an angel, she felt that she would not be able to help but annex more land. Even if she did not exterminate other races, she would definitely bring them under her rule.

The fact is that such a country, which far surpasses all other countries, established normal trade channels, exchanged resources, and developed peacefully for more than 1000 years until the demons brought war.

"There are too many strange things." Lu Ning expressed his thoughts. "After the angels only occupied a large area of ​​Shenghui City in the east, they stopped expanding and started to build infrastructure instead. and scientific research..."

"Completely different from the angels we have in mind, isn't it?" Humphrey grinned.

"According to records, the fantasy species once had a fierce war, and the war destroyed the civilization at that time. But since the fantasy species have such strength, it means that they themselves are also advanced civilizations. Let's not discuss their origins for now - First of all, where did they go?" Christine asked.

"Leaved? They seem to have the ability to leave the planet. After all, according to records, they came with meteorites..." a young orc guessed.

"If it only appeared once, I would consider this idea. But the Phantasmal Species appeared twice, which means they have not left, or in other words, this planet is always within their control." Kelly Steen glanced at the young man, "No one has any ideas? This should be the most basic. Looking at the abilities of fantasy species, you should know-"

Yang suddenly thought of something and spoke before thinking deeply.

"God...God?"

Among the people present, there were many who still retained certain beliefs. When they heard this idea, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

"The gods have been watching the planet. Although the war destroyed our homeland, I still have to say that it was the gods and angels who withstood the attacks of the demons." An old man said, "I can't thank them enough, because my family They all died in the war, and I will not condemn them because they stood on the front line of the disaster and fulfilled their duty of protection."

"I dare not say that the gods are necessarily good, but how can they be the disaster of the end of the world? If this is the case, when we, no, our race formed the most primitive villages from the beginning, shouldn't they have taken action? Shall we destroy it?" Another person also raised objections.

"What if they have also been corrected? Let me put it in a more common way, what if they wake up later and find out what sin they have done and want to repent?" Christine asked.

Lewanska sighed slightly. On this issue, Kristine still chose a gentler approach.

"Let us assume that six races realized that they could not destroy each other during the war, and finally chose to reach a reconciliation. Then, they discovered that because of their war, the flourishing civilization that originally existed on this planet was destroyed Out of a certain atonement mentality, they decided to stay and cultivate the birth of the next civilization to make up for their own mistakes." Christine said.

"But it doesn't sound like this." Yang had begun to follow the train of thought at this time, "Teacher, you should know the deeper truth, right?"

"Then we can't confirm until we actually see a god who is still alive, at least a god." Christine sneered, "You'd better accept this fairly warm fairy tale I made up. Well, on this basis, the gods discovered that although the newly born civilization came from the old civilization, it was also one in which the old civilization began to reduce its perception, body, and consciousness in order to survive during various disasters, resulting in division. A race. At this time, what else will they do, who have really seen the old civilization, while trying to cultivate these fragile newborns? Remember, make up for it."

"Angels." Yang took a deep breath, "They used the previous race as a model to create...angels."

"Very good. According to theological records, angels have been blessed by gods and possess those powerful qualities. So if our guess is true, these qualities are already possessed by native races like us."
