Through Aponya's experience, Zhong Rui finally figured out where this correction force came from.
Looking up in the direction of the moon, Zhong Rui's expression gradually became serious.
The Cocoon of Finality, as the reason for the birth of the Herrscher, is also the culprit of frequent collapses on the earth.
Its body is a terminal created by other civilizations in the universe. In order to evolve the earth's civilization into an existence similar to theirs, it constantly sends tests called collapse to the earth.
All the abilities of the Herrscher originate from this terminal, and when the civilization of the earth is judged to be unqualified, the Herrscher of the End will come as its strongest agent to restart the reincarnation of the planet!
The power needed to restart planetary civilization is time.
The power of time that Jingyan possesses can also be said to be the power to control everyone's destiny.
Even though the Herrscher of the End has not yet arrived, the Cocoon of the End still holds the thread that represents the destiny of mankind.
According to Aponya, he who does not belong to this world does not have the thread of fate on his body, but the fate of others is still within the correction range of the Cocoon of Finality.
"The only thing that can fight against time is time..."
Although space and time are the most advanced abilities, if they are at the same level, there is no doubt that time-based abilities have the advantage.
Because the force that drives the development of all things is [time]...
Before he obtained the power of finality, Zhong Rui had no way to fight against the power of time.
And even if he wants the power of the End, the current concentration of Honkai Energy on the earth may not be enough to support him to become the Herrscher of the End.
What's more, there may be other conditions for the arrival of the Herrscher of the End.
Since there is no way to fight, then optimize to the greatest extent based on the established facts.
Although the corrections from the end allow Xier and Kevin to embark on their original destiny, their situations are also different from the original plot.
For example, Xi'er's stigmata originally appeared only after modern civilization, and Kevin's body temperature was so low that it would cause frostbite to those who touched him due to the side effects of being a fusion warrior.
But now Xi'er has just changed into a different life form, and Kevin has no side effects at all. He has gained self-healing, strange strength, and ice control abilities in vain.
This shows that the general trend cannot be violated, but the small trend can be changed.
The cocoon of the end is reading the entire human civilization. As an examiner, it only cares about the answers on the questionnaire, not the process of writing the answers and the beauty of the handwriting.
On a larger scale, life and death matters in the eyes of humans are nothing to the Cocoon of Finality. Even the death of the Herrscher as an individual does not matter to it.
So why does it lead the Herrscher of Death to death?
There is only one answer that Zhong Rui can think of, and that is the stigmata. Perhaps it has some expectations for the stigmata project.
The death of the Herrscher of Death and the transformation of Xi'er into a stigmata really promoted the Fire Chasing Moth's emphasis on the Stigma Project.
The same goes for Kevin becoming a fusion warrior in advance. Otherwise, with Zhong Rui's stability, I am afraid that we will not let them perform surgery until the fusion warrior's technology is fully mature.
Because today's Fire Chasing Moth does not lack combat power, there is no need to take huge risks to undergo warrior fusion surgery just to increase that power.
The success of the Fusion Warrior now also means that Fire Chaser Moth will further develop this plan, and at the same time promote the development of civilization itself.
All the interference done by the Cocoon of Finality is to bring the earth's civilization closer to the civilization that created it.
After seeing through the essence of what the Cocoon of Finality was doing, Zhong Rui also recalled what he saw in Ling's inner world.
Why is it that even though civilization is on the verge of destruction, the faces of those soldiers chasing the fire moth are not swallowed up by despair.
He initially thought it was Aponia's commandment, but then he thought carefully about the [Sealing] they mentioned.
I am afraid that I have expected this kind of thing to happen, and I have prepared for the destruction of civilization in advance.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Zhong Rui, what happened to you suddenly?"
"Nothing, I just figured out some interesting things."
Zhong Rui quietly looked at the direction of the moon, and his original plan for the Fire Chaser Moth also changed.
Since the destruction of the previous civilization is already doomed, then he will let the former civilization be destroyed eventually.
But except for the superficial [civilization], he accepted everything without any ceremony!
"Mebius, immediately prepare for the fusion warrior surgery on Aponnia, and at the same time, prepare the fusion warrior surgery on Qianjie, Alicia, Hua, Kosma, Destobia, Hen, and Padofelis. Well, as for the time of your fusion surgery, it’s up to you.”
"?"
"Don't worry, your operation will definitely be successful, even if the theoretical success rate is less than 1%."
Seeing Zhong Rui's sourceless self-confidence, Mebius could only regard it as Zhong Rui's ability to predict the future.
Moreover, with the experimental data of Kevin as a guinea pig, Mebius is now confident that the success rate of fusion warriors has reached [-]%.
With the improvement of subsequent technologies, this value will probably continue to rise, and fusion warriors may even be mass-produced in the future.
Chapter 306 Abandoning Civilization
After Zhong Rui notified Aponia to come to the first laboratory on his mobile phone, he went to the second laboratory for inspection according to his original schedule.
During the Sixth Collapse, he temporarily fused with the core of the Death Herrscher, becoming the only multi-core Herrscher in the former civilization.
Mei was worried that the two Herrscher Cores would burden him physically or mentally, so she asked him to come over for a comprehensive examination.
Originally, his physical examination was supposed to be done by Mebius, but because of Kevin, the First Laboratory is now busy collecting data related to fusion warriors.
So the job fell to Mei from the Second Laboratory.
"Mei, is it convenient for us to chat?"
"Can we check and chat at the same time?"
"That's fine, but there are some things I want to talk to you about alone."
Hearing Zhong Rui's slightly ambiguous speech, the assistants in the second laboratory quietly pricked up their ears and couldn't help but gossip about the relationship between the two.
After Zhong Rui's identity was revealed, his previous experience with World Snake was no secret in Fire Chaser.
In addition, Mei has been with Zhong Rui since she was very young. Wilwei and Eden, who are also from World Snake, both have a good impression of Zhong Rui.
Among them, Velvet has already succeeded in taking over, Eden is still in the stage of being more than a friend but not yet a lover. As for Mei, the situation is more complicated.
Judging from her actions, she should have a good impression of Zhong Rui, but in terms of feelings, she has never launched an offensive, or even given out a signal to attack.
"That's it...of course, you can go out first."
Seeing the serious expression on Zhong Rui's face, although Mei's mind flashed with the expectation "Is it possible that he will confess to her?", she was quickly denied this possibility by reason.
After everyone else left, there were only two of them left in the laboratory, and Zhong Rui got straight to the point.
"Civilization as it is now will undoubtedly be destroyed in the next few years."
"I see, so what's the reason?"
Seeing that Mei accepted this setting very calmly and let the topic continue, the corners of Zhong Rui's mouth rose slightly.
This was one of the reasons why Zhong Rui decided to tell Mei about it.
"The thread of fate that Aponya saw was the interference from a higher-level power, and this power also led to the birth of the Herrscher. Do you remember the ruins that the Fire Chaser Moth discovered on the moon before?"
"Well, so that means the civilization before us was destroyed by that existence?"
"As expected of Mei, you understand so quickly, and that existence I named the Cocoon of Finality is a special terminal made by other civilizations. The purpose is to bring our civilization closer to its maker."
Faced with the blockbuster information suddenly given by Zhong Rui, Mei quickly analyzed and absorbed the information.
Regarding the destruction of the previous civilization, there has been speculation within Fire Chaser. Although some people believe that the ruins found on the moon are actually the products of alien civilization, Mei is more inclined to believe that they are ancient civilizations that have been destroyed.
What made her think so was the text analyzed from the ruins and the study of current human history. She found that during the 46 billion years of the earth, there have been several strange gaps in human-related history.
The evidence for this kind of gap also comes from archeology of the past, but the evidence discovered today is very sparse, resulting in the world not studying this aspect carefully.
"Since our civilization is destined to be destroyed, does it mean that our current civilization cannot get close to its creator?"
"This is my knowledge blind spot. After all, I don't know what the civilization that created it looked like."
Zhong Rui really didn't understand anything about that completely unknown civilization.
Moreover, it is not necessarily a good thing to actively develop civilization towards that unknown civilization.
At least for Zhong Rui, today's civilization can maximize his interests.
Although in the simulator, he cannot absorb faith to add points, but when the simulation is over, these humans who become his followers in the simulator will become believers who can provide a large amount of faith!
"I see. Since all it values is civilization itself, there are many things that can be manipulated..."
After Zhong Rui's explanations, Mei also understood his intention of coming to find her.
According to Aponya, Zhong Rui is the unknown number
Coupled with the power brought by the use of divine blood, the future development of mankind will definitely not be close to the civilization that created the Cocoon of Finality.
In the final analysis, the Cocoon of the End is essentially just a test machine for civilization, and it is not really meant to wipe out all human beings.
Then there are many choices for survival paths before human beings.
One of them is for all mankind to become a Stigmata life form like Seele, a being that can perfectly adapt to Honkai energy and has no concept of birth, aging, sickness and death.
However, the cocoon of finality brought about by the trial was not a threat to the Stigmata life forms at all.
However, after becoming a Stigmata life form, human civilization can also be said to be destroyed. Even if Stigma inherits the human spirit and everything, Stigma is not human after all.
I just don’t know what judgment the Cocoon of Finality will make at that time, will it determine the destruction of human civilization and then start a new round of restart?
"Although my original intention is not to give up human civilization, I can't do anything about the interference of the Cocoon of Finality. The power it uses to control destiny is time. Unless I also gain the power of time, there is no way to overturn it."
Faced with the cheating power of time, except for Zhong Rui becoming the Herrscher of the End, there is no way to destroy the destiny of others.
No, there is actually a way for humans to get rid of the interference from the Cocoon of Finality.
Alicia completely liberated the power of the Herrscher of the Origin, at the expense of herself, returned to the Cocoon of Finality, and rewritten some of the mechanisms of the Cocoon of Finality.
But Zhong Rui couldn't let Alicia sacrifice herself to create a future for human civilization.
The reason why he wanted to save the former civilization was because of the large number of believers. The only people he really wanted to protect were the people around him.
As for those strangers, if they were not his future believer candidates, Zhong Rui would not bother to care about them at all.
Zhong Rui doesn't care at all about the continuation of human civilization. He only needs to allow these people to continue to exist as intellectual life forms.
After all, it's not just humans who can provide faith. Zhong Rui just needs to ensure that they stay alive, no matter what way of existence they are.
"I will try my best to think of as many solutions as possible. By the way, can this matter help others?"
