Chapter 1377 Shocking Secret, Two Ways to End Disaster
'At first, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, and the disappearance of a city, until this disaster was closely related to everyone.'
Sumo stood there in a daze, this opening line from a classic movie flashing through his mind.
On the vast earth, disasters that truly affect the whole world are so rare that many people have never experienced them personally in their entire lives and can only get a glimpse of them in books, videos or other people's stories.
However, the real reality is that disasters are never far away. They are everywhere like ghosts, but they happen quietly in different forms and in different corners.
Imagine if every step of human progress was quantified into actions, each action would raise the ball by ten centimeters.
Then as time goes by, the height of the ball from the origin gradually accumulates, getting higher and higher.
This height is an intuitive reflection of the level of human development in various fields and witnesses the efforts of human beings along the way.
However, at the same time, as the height of the ball continues to increase, the pressure it bears also continues to increase.
That pressure comes from the fear of the unknown, from the lack of resources, from the deterioration of the environment, the side effects of various technologies, and even from human beings' own expectations and uneasiness about the future.
These pressures are like invisible shackles, binding the small ball, making it feel so heavy every time it jumps.
When the balance of rising and falling is broken, then humans will naturally be greeted by horrific disasters.
It could be that a full-scale war breaks out and everything is smashed to pieces.
It may also be that you fell several times while trying to support, and finally returned to the starting point without being able to save it.
"Didn't you already study the truth that energy in the universe is eternal?"
"It neither comes out of thin air nor goes away out of thin air. Just like a phoenix reborn from the flames, the new power draws nutrients from the old and dying things. After a long period of gestation and transformation, it finally blooms.
It shines brightly. And the power of destruction does not come out of thin air, it also has deep roots. It comes from the prosperity and vitality of the past, and is the inevitable destination of new forces after they reach their peak."
"This cycle and conversion of energy is one of the most basic operating laws of the universe. Nothing can exist forever, and will go through a process from rebirth to prosperity to decline. In this process, energy is always
Remaining conserved, it neither disappears nor increases, it just flows in different forms."
Speaking of this, Adam couldn't help but feel a trace of unspeakable sadness on his face.
His eyes flashed with nostalgia for the past, as if he had traveled through a tunnel of time and space and returned to those glorious days.
How glorious the Giant Mountain Star Territory was in the past. At that time, it was like the sun in the sky, like a bright star, shining on the entire gravel belt.
Its name has become the belief and pursuit in the hearts of countless people, and its brilliance is enough to shock the past and the present, and will be passed down through the ages.
Unfortunately, in the end, it was still unable to escape the law of pinball and failed to escape the cycle of history, gradually heading towards decline and destruction.
"Theoretically, the Giant Mountain Star Field is still a lucky one. There are countless star fields similar to ours. They have all experienced reincarnations from bright to dim, from glory to destruction, but the difference is that everyone is eagerly looking forward to the unknown.
When the mysterious game comes, only a few star fields are accidentally selected, and our giant mountain is one of them."
"The game has transcendent power. It can forcibly extract some of the destruction that will erupt in the future and transform it with pressure. If you, the direct participants, can digest the power of destruction, which is disaster, then you can create a huge disaster for the giants.
The mountain star field transforms into an equivalent vitality."
"So the two ways to end the disaster are either to absorb all the destruction, or to have enough vitality?"
Sumo understood completely now.
Let’s analyze the first way of digestion and destruction concretely.
Combined with the disaster that has just occurred, it may be that this is a disaster that will come due to the endless demands of creatures on the environment. However, the game uses its power beyond common sense to forcibly extract this disaster from the future timeline, or from
Other planets in the Giant Mountain Star Domain were extracted and descended.
The creatures of the New World suffered a huge impact from this disaster.
The severe cold of spring caused those cold-resistant plants that should have thrived in this season to freeze to death in the ground. However, these dead plants did not disappear, and their lives continued in another form.
They turn into nutrients and nourish the land in a cyclical manner, providing nutrients for future life.
At the same time, there are some more cold-tolerant plants that tenaciously withstood this disaster. They survived this severe cold and became a boost for new forces.
Analyzing further from an abstract perspective, when the disaster of "Three Downfalls and Spring Cold" is completely over, mankind will undoubtedly learn profound lessons from it and immediately begin to prepare for the next similar disaster.
Such a preventive measure is to absorb the power of destruction, so that when the second spring cold comes again, the threat it brings may be greatly reduced, or even almost non-existent.
When one day, even if the star field is in decline, humans will have a way to inject energy, the Giant Mountain Star Field will be completely resurrected.
The other kind is easier to understand if it has enough vitality. The disaster in the future ruins is the best example.
After the death of those foreign gods, their bodies burst into pieces, and the energy they absorbed was fed back into the world.
For example, if a land contaminated by nuclear radiation is purified by the body of a god, it is equivalent to one less disaster.
And when it has enough energy to counteract all the forces of destruction, it is the so-called vitality.
Without the power of destruction, there would be no disaster, and everything would return to its original point.
Of course, due to the absorption of external energy, this starting point may be significantly higher than before.
The ball would have started bouncing at 0 centimeters, but now the slingshot has moved to 30 centimeters, and the ball will start bouncing from 30 centimeters again when it falls.
"Yes, you guessed it right, this is the only way to end the disaster!"
Adam nodded happily. After dozens of gaming experiences in the past, there are not many people who have realized this.
But no one has ever understood the fundamental way to solve the disaster at this point in the wasteland years.
"Digesting all destruction is a task that is carried out all the time in any star field. Before this cycle cannot be completely ended, the domain masters shoulder one of the important responsibilities, which is to delay these two events as much as possible.
The time when extreme conditions occur.”
"And you can probably guess the other important task of the Domain Master."
"Resist foreign enemies?" Sumo thought thoughtfully.
"Haha, yes, it's thanks to you that we were able to intercept batch after batch of key vitality."
Speaking of this, Adam was a little ready to make a move.
It would be great if Soma could be sent to every edge of destruction in the Giant Mountain Star Territory in turn and let him fish and enforce the law.
However, he also understands that such opportunities are rare.
"Damn it, all the remaining vitality in the past was wasted by the fools before. As a result, there are not many ruins that you can enter this time. I thought it was over."
Adam spoke plausibly, not mentioning that it was actually his idea to brainlessly release a large amount of vitality to the first few batches of players in the first place.
At that time, the Giant Mountain Star Territory was almost on the verge of destruction, and he almost died of fright.
Of course, after the game is over and you grab the life-saving straw, you can play all the cards in one go.
From King to King, to 2AK, round after round, players digested more and more cards in Adam's hand.
Not to mention only 3, 4, and 5 are left for the earth players this time. Anyway, those who can provide huge help are definitely gone.
"Fortunately, you killed the false god Tengu, as well as the clones of the gods of the five royal families behind you. Their scattered vitality has reopened the upward cycle, opening up the deep sea of the past and the ruins of time that you can enter later. And you are in the ruins of time.
We actually killed a lot of gods and gained more vitality, it’s simply unbelievable!”
"Is it possible that the expansion of the New World, the emergence of routes, and the Ten Thousand Paths War are all due to the death of those gods?"
No wonder the gap between the real wasteland and the ruins of the future is getting wider and wider. Sumo thought the game had changed the version without authorization.
It seems that the reason actually lies with him!
"Otherwise, when you arrive, the Jushan Star Territory will not have any more vitality to support your development. The human race on earth can get to where it is today thanks to your performance."
After finishing speaking, Adam said with a smile: "The route is of great help. I specially selected it for you from all the rewards available in the game. Does it give you the ability to confront alien races head-on?"
"Fuck, you came up with the route?!"
Hearing that the inexplicable route was actually chosen by Yaxuan, Sumo wanted to reach out and give him a try.
If the route hadn't increased human demand for food several times, we wouldn't even be able to harvest the autumn harvest now.
Moreover, the route has also aggravated the chaos among humans, causing constant disputes among major gathering places.
But having said that, the route does make humans' physical disadvantage no longer obvious. Some players who are lucky enough to get rare routes even have the ability to compete head-on with aliens.
"Otherwise, should I choose something technological for you?"
Adam had an inexplicable but natural expression: "I'm right, the applicability of technology is too low. It is only suitable for development in the most prosperous rising stage of a star field, providing enough time and an excellent environment.
It is not suitable for the destruction stage of continuous natural disasters that we are encountering now. You can think of it this way, so what if I give you complete information on nuclear fusion, it will take you earth players a few years to achieve it, ten years,
Twenty years, or longer?”
"Furthermore, nuclear fusion is only the most basic thing of a technological civilization. It also requires various accompanying technologies to help you enter the category of first-level civilization. The enemies encountered by first-level civilization, the gods who ignite the divine fire,
They only need to wave their hands to disable all your weapons, the gap is too huge!"
As he talked, Adam thought of the Yan Kingdom again.
"I helped them redeem a lot of technology rewards, including those modular technologies you dug up from the ground. So what happened? None of them were used at all, right?"
"In the end, they were still thinking about individual mechanical ascension. I am really going to faint from this group of people!"
"Where are you going to ascend? To some damn realm of death?"
Forehead
Sumo was a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to refute or agree with Adam's point of view.
Strictly speaking, those technology rewards are not completely unhelpful.
If Magu’s shelter and oil well had not been dug in the early stage, today’s story would not have happened.
Or there would be no Liangfang Town without Ma Fei, and without the things stored in it, there would be no subsequent development.
Including those who stole the authority, it was the authority of the God of Cookery that allowed him to officially come into contact with a higher level of power.
If we had not stood on the shoulders of giants, how could we be qualified to stand here and have a dialogue today?
"I can help you redeem rewards to a certain extent, but the frequency and magnitude of disasters are not under my control. If there is a large-scale disaster, where is the punishment? Wouldn't I have to wait for the next batch of players again?"
"Suma, I can't wait any longer. I don't dare to think that I will meet someone like you again in the future. This time is ours. This is the last chance for the Jushan Star Territory!"
Sumo nodded silently.
It is impossible for anyone to remain calm after experiencing more than thirty failures.
What's more, every failure lasts for years and decades. From the first batch of players to now, Adam has been waiting for hundreds or thousands of years.
"Besides, I haven't fully considered your current situation. Those Blue Star forces who followed the Phantom Mist, and whether Qinggang City will be of great help to you, I specially selected it from Blue Star. And the academy.
, foundations, companies, do you think they will always show up to help you at the right time? These are all my contributions!"
"No way, it turned out that you did all this?"
Sumo lost his composure at all.
There are also many Blue Star cities coming to the wasteland, but so far, except for Hu Lai City, no one that can reach the scale of Qinggang City has been discussed on the World Channel.
Moreover, the appearance of the Foundation's caravan is strange, as it is right around the Tianyuan territory, no more, no less.
Including later colleges and enterprises, they also gave them time to react after discovery.
If Adam was behind all of this, then everything would be clear.
"Hehe, believe me, I have witnessed tens of millions of years of ups and downs in the Giant Mountain Star Territory. No one understands better than me what exactly you need now?"
"What about before? How come those people failed with your "help" before?"
Sumo retorted without hesitation, and saw Adam immediately showing a embarrassed look.
Do you understand?
You know a hammer, you know it!
With such a cheating thing, no wonder the endings of the previous players were more miserable than the last.
If mastering the World Cauldron gives one the right to choose to digest destruction, then mastering Adam gives one the right to choose to use life force.
This is the complete authority, and it must be used in conjunction with each other. One is indispensable!
