Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1771 No One Can Break Our Wings

"We ultimately underestimated our civilization's drive for freedom and our curiosity.

After we stopped them from flying into the sky, they began to dig underground. We used many means to stop them, even resorting to violence, and the initial prevention seemed to be successful.

The empire of the first tyrant who dug underground was destroyed, but the energy reserves of the spacecraft began to be consumed at an accelerated rate during this war.

What makes us feel even more helpless is that the large-scale power outage during the war made the steam engine, which was once abandoned by them, return to the stage of history.

Scientists have also discovered that electric motors can also be used as generators. Electricity is no longer monopolized by us. Although it is much more difficult for them to obtain electricity, we still cannot stop them from continuing to climb their technology tree.

The countries they established later would encounter rebellions every once in a while, and the reason for the rebellions was always to dig downwards or explore the sky.

We have unleashed massive floods to stop these people, completely cut off electricity supplies for years, and used powerful weapons to directly kill their leaders from a distance.

We even shut down our artificial sun for a whole week to warn them.

But this still did not scare them. Instead, it made many people convinced that they were on the right track. The confrontation between the people on the earth and us was getting more and more intense. The ecological roller was already developing in the direction of being out of control. With the invention of the steam engine, each suppression of them consumed more and more energy and materials. Even if we warned them as gods, we still could not stop them. Even after telling them the truth, they were unwilling to believe it. Many people thought this was the weakness of God.

We thought that their resistance had finally frightened the gods, and we had gone through thousands of years without finding a way to completely curb their desire to explore. We tried burning their history books and destroying all traces of their past existence, but the most amazing thing happened.

It is unknown how they managed to dig out their true past, which was before their autonomous civilization regressed. Although their records were very vague and many were even wrong, they were fabricated out of thin air.

But they roughly described that their race once roamed in the sea of ​​stars, but now they have fallen into such a situation and have been imprisoned here by the gods. As long as they can break this cage, they can break out of the cocoon and become a free race sailing in the starry sky again.

Only then did we realize that we were wrong from the beginning, and we underestimated ourselves from the beginning. We had no other way. Our civilization really regressed. Even if we relied on the most primitive word-of-mouth method, some people still secretly preserved our culture and history, but they preserved it at the wrong time, and I was powerless to reverse the tragedy that was destined to come..."

……

Elizabeth saw that most of the murals behind were about epic wars between the people on earth and the gods in heaven. War promoted the development of science and technology. The obstruction of the gods did not stop the people on earth from continuing to dig. Instead, it made their digging progress faster and faster, making their technological level higher and higher, and even the population larger and larger.

In the midst of these wars, a new church was established, which was the church whose symbol they saw now was a bud growing out of an eggshell.

Looking at this sculpture at this moment, everyone had different feelings. It was not until this moment that they realized the true meaning of this sculpture. It was not just a simple sculpture, but also represented the civilization's desire for rebirth.

The holes on the mural were dug deeper and deeper, while the attacks of the gods became weaker and weaker. Everything seemed to be ushering in a perfect ending. The oppression of the fettered lives of the residents living here broke the shackles of the world, and they broke out of their cocoons and became butterflies.

But when everyone present, including Elizabeth, saw this, their faces turned grim.

Because after the last mural was painted on it, the gods completely stopped harassing them, completely cut off the power supply, and only a thin layer of water remained in the underground cave.

But there are no other murals behind this one. If there is still civilization surviving in this world, then the murals in the church should have the next scene. The only possibility for the mural to be cut off is that the civilization they are observing was completely destroyed in a very short time, and they can also imagine the reason for the destruction of civilization...

……

"The thousand-year war has finally exhausted the resources stored inside the spacecraft. I am the last watcher who can keep the spacecraft running. I broadcast the last oracle to everyone in the name of the god they once believed in, telling them all the truth. I told them that once the ecological drum is dug up, the atmosphere inside will all be lost into the vacuum, and no one will be able to survive.

Tell them that the remaining energy of the artificial sun in the sky is only enough to maintain its operation for 500 years at most, and tell them that they must save energy as much as possible in order to survive until the space storm subsides.

Tell them that all the books that record everything that has ever happened in civilization have been left by me in the archives of the artificial sun. If they don’t believe it, they can fly to the artificial sun and check these books.

Unfortunately, we have become evil gods in their minds. No matter what we say, no one will believe us. They are still digging the last layer of the wall of the ecological drum.

Although high-strength alloys are much stronger than soil and rock, I believe that this cannot stop their determination to explore. Perhaps we were wrong from the beginning. Civilization should not only survive in the present. Perhaps we should have chosen to pilot the broken spacecraft and die in the storm of time and space from the beginning..."

The record in the book came to an abrupt end, and what followed was a series of complex operating instructions, which were the instructions for starting the artificial sun. The extinguished artificial sun still stored the energy for the last time to start it.

……

"Let's go and take a look at that big hole. Although we have already guessed what will happen, we still have to see it with our own eyes." Elizabeth rubbed her eyes, stepped on the flying skateboard, and flew into the air with other demons, flying towards the direction of the big hole in the distant photo.

When they were about to reach the sky above the big hole, the artificial sun in the sky suddenly emitted a violent buzzing sound, followed by a little bit of dim red light, and as the red light gradually lit up, the sun became brighter.

After more than 100,000 years, this artificial sun once again shines on the ecological drum. Lan Nuo releases his finger on the start button and looks through the porthole at the vast land beneath his feet.

Everything in front of them was like a fantasy illuminated by the last match in the hand of a little match girl. Everyone seemed to see the army on the earth, guarding the big hole to the death, and countless hardworking workers digging underground. Under the sunlight, a huge hole appeared on the earth of the ecological roller. Everything around the hole had been razed to the ground. No traces of ancient civilization were left here, only the strange terrain like an hourglass remained.

When the eco-drum is completely hollowed out, the internal air pressure causes the atmosphere in the entire eco-drum to rush into the hole. An unprecedented super storm will destroy everything near the hole. However, although there will be corpses of epic heroes left behind, there will be no remnants of super epic buildings. All buildings that can prove that this miracle has happened will be razed to the ground in the violent storm.

But everyone seemed to see above these ruins the figures who once fought here, and the last echoes of this lingering civilization. At least in the last moments before their demise, they could proudly hold their heads high and use their own demise to prove that no one can break our wings!

Elizabeth looked up at the artificial sun that had been relit in the sky and increased the speed of her skateboard. She was expecting to see some miracle in the void. Perhaps a seed of that civilization had really survived.

But time is the most ruthless killer. The doomsday storm destroyed everything in the hole. The surroundings became desolate and even the earth was polished smooth.

Standing on the edge of the funnel-like hole, Elizabeth made a decision that even she herself felt was not very rational: "Let's go down!"

  Although this was an extremely risky decision, no one objected at this moment. They all wanted to see what was left of this world outside the eco-drum.

It was still spinning. The relative speed between the eco-drum and the spacecraft outside was very fast. This meant that it was very dangerous for them to jump down the hole, but everyone still stepped on the individual flying vehicle and jumped down resolutely.

As they fell to the bottom of the hole, facts told them that no miracle had happened.

Outside the giant ecological drum, where the light swept across was a larger spherical shell space, and in this space, various shattered ruins were scattered like space junk. Everyone regained their weightless state, suspended in these ruins, allowing them to float past them quickly.

  Sometimes they can see the remains of huge buildings, and sometimes they can see relatively intact mummies. I wonder if it is a coincidence or the last remaining will of civilization is influencing something?

Elizabeth saw a sword floating towards her. The relative speed between the two was not very fast. She subconsciously reached out to grasp the sword and was surprised to find that the guard of the sword was in the shape of a crown, which looked very similar to the one painted on the mural before. There were words engraved on the hilt that she didn't recognize.

If Lan Nuo were here, he would be able to recognize it. Engraved on it is the motto left by the tyrant of the once fallen empire: No one can break our wings!

……

Everyone finally left the ecological drum. Lan Nuo held the ancient book in the artificial sun and the sword that Elizabeth picked up, and sighed helplessly: "It seems that we have accidentally done the work of an inquisitor."

Elizabeth had sharp ears. After hearing this, she asked curiously, "What is an inquisitor? Why are we doing what an inquisitor should do?"

"Ah... the Inquisitor! You should have a chance to meet him in the future. The nature of their work means that they often have to collect corpses for civilizations. Before their demise, each civilization will show their splendor and greatness from certain angles, just like what we see. So people who are not strong enough usually can't do this job, otherwise they will die in a few days."

Elizabeth: ""

“Okay, you don’t have to keep this expression. Countless planets and countless civilizations in the universe will face various ways of destruction. One day when you really step into the starry sky, you will gradually get used to it.

And if your civilization had always maintained the status quo, without a figure like your father to break the divisions among the races and build a fleet to explore the starry sky, your fate would not necessarily be much better than theirs. So you should hurry up and inherit your father's throne, and lead a group of people from your civilization to explore the starry sky."

  For the first time, Elizabeth felt the importance of the mission on her shoulders. Before she had seen a truly destroyed civilization, she had never imagined what the destruction of a civilization would be like. Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she understood even more clearly what an important historical position she held in the space bubble civilization.

"Now that you mention it, I feel a little psychological pressure. I feel that if I lose, I will be sorry for the entire space bubble civilization." The girl, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly became a little timid.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, your advantage over the Holy See coalition is really not a little bit, anything on this spaceship is Zenith Star technology when it is moved back to their place, and our trip to the ecological drum is not completely fruitless. Although the level of technological development of humans on the ground is still inferior to yours, we can't get any useful technology or equipment.

But the last Watcher did a good thing. He left behind the self-translation system of his race's language. Give me some time, I can compile a translation dictionary between this thing and your language. After we successfully start the device we brought back, we can try to operate it according to the text instructions on it, so that we don't have to be in the dark and study other people's screen savers for a long time, thinking it is some high-tech magic circle..."

On the other side... in the Athens shelter...

Hao Ren, along with a group of his tenants, faced the Sacred Relic of Origin in the alien space, and the little old man inside the shield next to the Sacred Relic of Origin who was explaining his plan like a villain, gritting their teeth.

“Don’t compare me with you brainless inferior creatures. I have been researching the Sacred Artifact of Origin for countless years, all for this moment. As long as I press this button, the Sacred Artifact of Origin will send me to the true homeland of the aliens, where I will obtain the treasure that truly belongs to the aliens!” As he pressed the button, the Sacred Artifact of Origin began to vibrate.

Hao Ren and his teammates took out various weapons. They fired at the shields around the Origin Sacred Artifact to no avail. Just as the villain's plan was about to succeed, the Origin Sacred Artifact suddenly stopped working and played an incomprehensible voice.

The data terminal was stunned when it heard this voice, and then translated it for everyone: "The machine just said that the system has completed self-cleaning. The button that was pressed just now should be the automatic cleaning button."

Hao Ren: “…”

It is said that you should read the manual before using an unfamiliar device! Otherwise, you will spend a lot of time studying the screen saver and think it is some kind of black technology magic circle!
