Chapter 178: The Bet(1/2)
Xia Lian slowly raised his feet, and the gravitons quickly enveloped him. He slowly floated up. At that moment, his whole body flew towards the depths of the cave like a rocket.
After flying for an unknown period of time, Xia Lian felt that the temperature around him was rising significantly, and there were more and more parasites around him. Soon, he stopped in front of a path.
At the end of the darkness, a red light loomed, which seemed to be the light of fire or the light emitted by magma.
Have you reached the center of the earth?
Xia Lian thought to himself, but continued to float forward.
"Dongdong~Dongdong~"
A sound similar to the beating of a heart came from a distance. Because the frequency was similar to his own heartbeat, Xia Lian almost thought it was his own heartbeat, but he soon came to his senses. His current modified human body was
There is no heartbeat.
As Xia Lian got closer, the heartbeat became louder and louder, and gradually, the scene behind the red light was gradually revealed in front of his eyes.
His vagina shrank slightly...
…
Xia Lian stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at it. It was an endless fascia structure with a scarlet light. It was beating very rhythmically. On it were countless parasite eggs, and
Some parasites crawl in it.
The temperature here is very high, even comparable to the surface of the sun, but fortunately, the modified human body is very resistant to high temperatures, and ordinary machinery cannot even reach here.
"Your Highness." Xia Sha's voice came to Xia Lian's ears, "The scanning system has been turned on. It is certain that what you see should be an unknown life form in the universe.
It is not recorded in the Milky Way database....
However, there is a record of this thing in the data you brought back from the Yajeliman people, and it was retrieved by the system.
This thing, or in other words, this group, has existed in this universe for a long time, so long that it can be traced back to the Big Bang.
The Yajirimans once captured and analyzed this group, but the data seemed to be damaged to a certain extent. The main structure was a large number of primitive particles...
The primitive particles here seem to be the fifth element, and their significance to the universe is..."
"Destruction, creation."
Another voice suddenly sounded in Xia Lian's mind, deep and melodious, like thunder. His hair stood up at that moment, and he looked at the thing wrapped in fascia in front of him.
"We finally officially meet, human."
The voice continued to ring in his mind, and Xia Lian finally confirmed that the voice just now was not an illusion.
"Who are you?" Xia Lian asked.
"You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"
Xia Lian fell silent.
"You can call me... Yephes."
"I have been observing you from the moment you came to this place." The voice continued.
"At first, I thought you were just a group of humans who accidentally entered here to take refuge.
But later, I discovered that your identity does not seem simple.
You can gather your faith and use the fifth element.
But the divinity in you is not enough to support you to complete all this...
In our memory, we have never seen a life like you. Are you a god? Or... a human?"
The people here should be ordinary non-god beings, but they were transmitted into Xia Lian's mind by her in a way that Xia Lian could understand.
Xia Lian stared at the thing in front of him, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether I am a human or a god. I don't want to conflict with you, since this is your territory.
Then we’ll leave immediately.”
"This is not my territory." Yephes said, "This is just a "cradle of life" for us."
"The cradle of life?" Xia Lian frowned.
"As you can see, I haven't really been born yet
.”
Yephes opened his mouth and said, "My people put me here so that the life here can provide me with the nourishment for my birth into the world.
Our people were all born this way."
"The nourishment you are talking about should be the life on the Evernight Star. The last civilization perished because of you." Xia Lian said.
"I know what you want to say. The Evernight Star was created by my people, including the life on it.
You humans can raise livestock and plant crops to harvest after they multiply to a certain number, why can't we?
Is it because the animals you raise in captivity are stupider and inferior to you?
For us, the same is true for things on the Evernight Star.
Everything in this world, the movement of nature, follows certain rules, and nothing exists unnecessarily.
Just like the ecology on a planet, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps, following a certain circular cycle.
The reason why some planets need the existence of gods is because gods can sort out the rules and create cycles for the planets.
The same is true for the universe.
Where do you think so many planets in the universe came from after the Big Bang?"
"It was born due to the Big Bang." Xia Lian said.
"After the Big Bang, a lot of basic materials were indeed born, but it was us who condensed these materials into stars." Yephes said, "We created a large part of the planets in the universe, so a long, long time ago
, some people call us the Star Creators.
The Dragon of Creation.
Our birth and growth require civilization and life, and after we are born, we will create many civilizations and lives.
This is the cycle of the universe."
Xia Lian was silent, without words, just staring at the things in front of him quietly.
"What do you want to do by telling me so much?"
"You are special."
Yephes said, "It's completely different from the humans I've seen. Do you want to be my kin?"
Xia Lian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You want me to work for you?"
"There is still a long way to go from childhood to adulthood. Our growth cycle is very long and we need to harvest a lot of fruits.
But in the past few hundred million years, the progress of these fruits has been faster and faster every year, and harvesting has become more and more difficult every year.
I need to find some owners and agents.
You are a good fit."
"How many lives will you probably consume when you reach adulthood?" Xia Lian asked.
"Probably, there are as many as Yongye Star, maybe a few thousand more." The thing said...
Xia Lian fell silent. There are about 100 million humans on Evernight Star, hundreds of billions of people, and the principality is only 400 billion.
From childhood to adulthood, this guy will at least eat up his principality.
"This amount is not small." Xia Lian said.
"Indeed, that's why I also learned how to obtain souls for a long time." Yephes said, "In the past, I was eager to come to the world, but I was too impatient.
In the end, it led to the destruction of a civilization on the Evernight Star, but I was still not old enough to be born in the world.
Under normal circumstances, it will take at least several million years for another intelligent civilization to be born on this planet.
But the arrival of another group gave me a chance.
They planted the seeds of your civilization on that planet.
This just makes me ecstatic.”
"So, there is the existence of the abandoned old Fagu. While ensuring the continuation of this ethnic group, it will steadily provide you with souls." Xia Lian said.
"Although it's still rare, there has been progress, and now, I finally have only the last step left..."
"Is this a war?" Xia Lian frowned.
"That's right, so I never care about your interference in the frozen soil, because no matter which side wins, it is beneficial to me.
Eventually, everyone on the Evernight Star will merge with me and provide nourishment for the birth of new stars.
This may be the greatest honor for these humble ants..."
After a pause, the voice continued.
"So, what do you think? Human being, you will gain eternal life and gain huge power.
You will make one person inferior and ten thousand people superior."
To be continued...
