Chapter 1973 Artificial Rules

"I probably know what you are going to say. We have discovered before that the power of will is very important in this world. If the will is strong enough, it can change reality to a certain extent, at least it can change light and darkness. balance.

When the army sings loud and clear military songs, the will and morale within the army reach a high state, which can sustain it in the dark storm.

And if people firmly believe that an object can resist darkness, then it will have the effect of dispelling darkness, just like the military emblem we discovered before.

The general will make it into the shape of an amulet and make everyone believe that he can release light in the darkness, so he can really do it. This is achieved by placing the power of people's hearts on certain items. Effect.

And why does this kind of sustenance have to be formal? Why must we place our spiritual power on an amulet? Since songs can convey the power of the soul, why not symbols?
  So people have taught children for generations that runes can dispel darkness, and different combinations of runes have different effects in the darkness. So generation after generation of people believe this, and generation after generation of people are influenced by this. Education, I believe that this rune can dispel darkness, and then the rune really has such an effect.

The rules of their arrangement and combination have become a reality, observed by generations, and can be used everywhere. If this is really a plan they came up with on their own initiative, then the person who came up with this plan is definitely a genius. In this chaotic world without rules, he used human power to establish a set of human rules and a set of human rules. You can develop and use rules yourself.

Let people no longer use the light power they contain in crude and primitive ways, but organize them into a power that can be learned and inherited. If not, the population of this world is still too sparse, so The power that inheritance can give to runes is still too weak, so the power that such inheritance can bring may be even stronger. "

After Cheng Ying thought of this guess, he admired the people who had created runes in this world even more. This was not a profound idea, nor did it require complicated knowledge, but in the environment of the doomsday wasteland , it is extremely great to be able to think of such a path to preserve a glimmer of vitality for civilization.

Entropy was thoughtful when he saw this scene: "Although in a broad sense, I can be regarded as a prehistoric race, and I should maintain a contemptuous attitude towards human beings, but I have to say that these people do a good job. They show It showed a stronger survivability than I imagined, but it was not enough.

These are far from enough. If they survive in the apocalypse, they will eventually consume everything in the apocalypse, and eventually civilization will decline and perish. "

Cheng Ying nodded: "Indeed, the masters of the former civilization have done enough, but what they have done is still not enough to change the outcome of the world. I am afraid that the world will eventually be destroyed in the future, but it is obviously not today.

And I'm thinking, maybe this world would have been completely destroyed long ago without what these people have done. The strange rules of light and darkness opposing each other, and the special environment where faith can change reality are really created by the darkness of the doomsday. Of? Or is it that everything that human civilization did in the past led to the current results?
  Maybe darkness was darkness in the beginning and no one could release the light? Do you remember what we saw in the city? The city seems to have not suffered any damage. To be precise, it has not suffered any damage from animals and plants. Things in the city have not been spoiled by microorganisms, nor have they been affected by any animals or plants, except for the earthquake after the apocalypse. Apart from natural disasters, the city is very well preserved.

Then I have a question, in such an environment, what about human corpses? Have you seen human corpses among the ruins of the city? Don't you think all this is strange? Without microbial activity, human corpses would dry out over a long period of time. Not even the skeleton is left, right?
  And in the apocalypse, how many people died, one can only imagine where their bodies ended up. Or maybe the darkness here is actually more terrifying than imagined. "

Entropy seemed to understand what Cheng Ying guessed: "You mean that darkness actually has a stronger ability to devour life, and it is not more of a spiritual attack like it is now. The original darkness can be The physical level directly destroys the living body.

As the only surviving natural life in this world, humans can only survive in the darkness after undergoing some special changes. "

"Yes, that's what I think. The humans in this world are probably very different from the ancient humans we imagined.

One of my guesses is that the corpses left by ancient humans may have been obliterated in the darkness, including the corpses of other animals and plants. They were also obliterated by the darkness, and if you notice the corpses of current people, you You will find that not only will they not be destroyed in the darkness, they will also emit light. They will not emit light when they are alive, but they will after death. Isn't this interesting? Why doesn't it shine when it's alive? While alive, their will plus their body should be able to become stronger.

But the fact is exactly the opposite. Living people will not release light after entering the darkness, but will be corroded by the darkness. When they are corroded and die, their corpses will glow with light.

It's like when they are alive, the light is contained in the body to protect their bodies, and only after they die, the light will be leaked out.

And even if their bodies completely exhaust the light in their bodies, they will not disappear in the darkness. We have already seen the corpses of primitive people in some tribes, and occasionally they can be seen as children in the wilderness and urban ruins. , their clothes can also easily tell that they are not ancient people but modern people. "

"What you said makes sense, but before we see the truth, don't regard any of our speculations as the truth. What we have to do is to dig out and speculate on the truth through facts as much as possible, rather than making guesses out of thin air.

But what you said is indeed possible. I just found an ordinary person walking in the wilderness. He was holding an umbrella made of the bones and skin of former people. Under the protection of the umbrella, it You can move forward in the dark. And his body seemed to be shrouded in light as well. The light in the bodies of the dead is constantly overflowing. Although we have not yet been able to perceive the existence of this light too clearly, I have vaguely found a sense, at least I can distinguish the concentration of the light. In the living body, the concentration of light is actually the highest.

Nowhere is the concentration of light higher than in the body of a living person, which may be why the blood can be released from the body to allow a campfire to illuminate farther away.

The power of light has always been bound within the human body, which protects people from surviving in the darkness and makes human blood the best fuel. If you put it this way, these strange phenomena will make sense, and what we are looking for now is probably why there is light in the human body. It seems that this is not inherent in the apocalypse. Perhaps as you said, these lights are some attempts by predecessors to deal with the apocalypse.

This continent fell into darkness, and it definitely did not fall into the eyes of the wild sea in an instant. There must be a process for darkness to completely swallow up this planet. Perhaps during this process, people can already do many things. "

While Cheng Ying and the two were talking, they had already arrived at this rare city. In the entire human world, there are probably only a dozen or so cities of this size left. Even with the efforts of predecessors, no matter how many civilizations there are, Having survived in the darkness to this point, he was finally close to death.

However, in this city, you can still more or less see a hint of the prosperity of humankind's past.

The food on people's tables is no longer just simple and boring fungi, but there are some plants that can only be seen in the past civilization era. Facts have proved that ancient animals and plants were not completely extinct. In this area of ​​light that can maintain stability, they can still produce slowly. Although the growth rate is much slower than that of fungi, as long as they are given a land in the light, they can still grow as slowly as before the destruction of the world.

But in imagination, the phenomenon that these precious natural foods need to be provided to the nobles did not happen.

In times of crisis, there was no room for corruption among the nobles, just as they were described in those biographies. Has noble quality.

If this is not possible, human civilization will not be able to survive such a doomsday, and these precious crops are completely provided for the use of the army. Although humans still don’t quite understand what vitamins are? But they can realize that light and fungi alone are not enough to sustain their healthy existence.

These plants, which are similar to vegetables, must be replenished regularly to maintain a person's health. People who are responsible for working in the city do not need to be too healthy, but members of the army do not. They must Only a healthy body and a strong mental state can open up a canopy of light in the wasteland, so most of the vegetables are used to supplement the army.

Occasionally, the army can search for a jar of vitamin tablets and the like in the ruins, and these will become treasures like a panacea in the city.

In this doomsday, the vast majority of people are in a sub-healthy state due to lack of various necessary vitamins, and their life span has been greatly shortened. And these things that can help people extend their lives are simply like Generally, eating one of the legendary elixir can increase your life span by many years.

Facts have proved that even if civilization is eradicated, knowledge is also eradicated. People can still re-summarize precious laws bit by bit from life, and use these laws to help themselves survive better.

Chengying also saw many things in the civilized world in this city. And these people have actually learned to use them more or less. And many people have concepts related to the civilized world.

They understand what the world should be like after development and prosperity. At least many people understand this. Because they can occasionally pick up some photos from outside, and through these photos, they can judge all this. It's like picking up the incomplete pieces of a puzzle, and finally pieced together the original appearance of the outside world.

In their myths and legends, humans once lived in a beautiful world like the Garden of Eden. At that time, humans did not have to worry about food and clothing, nor did they need to worry about the invasion of darkness. They had developed magic, built cities that were hundreds of times grander than they are now, and had an unknown number of people than now, and could even be used as Linjiutian. Above, across the barriers of the world, and coming to other worlds.

Of course, there must be some misinformation in it. For example, crossing the world barrier to come to other worlds is not actually crossing the world, but coming to other planets.

The civilized fires here saw photos of other planets, and in the photos, the natural environment of those planets was very different from the planet they were on, so they thought it was a different world.

This idea was very common among ancient people. For primitive people, dark caves or deep seabeds are equivalent to another world. If someone can enter there and return safely, they will be considered a hero who has traveled to another world.

Although there are various fallacies in their cognition, this understanding of the ancient civilization makes them clearly dissatisfied with their modern civilization and has the motivation to actively develop.

It is only due to the limitations of the material world that it has stayed in such a system similar to the Middle Ages. This is a civilization whose ideas have been enlightened, but are limited by the productivity of the world. Whether it is the end of the world or not, this civilization was created. quality? If they were placed in a materially rich place outside, there is no doubt that they would be able to develop into a great human civilization.

Cheng Ying thought about it at a deeper level. As the saying goes, a civilization honed by the end of the world has a potential that is unmatched by ordinary civilizations. According to the original historical trajectory of the prehistoric era, human beings Before the rise, there was an operation that went from the prehistoric continent to various outer planes. Did the humans who went to various different worlds set out from the prehistoric continent, or from the prehistoric sea eye and the turbulence of time and space? ?
