Chapter 828 Chapter 827 · "I'm here."

Li Ming looked at him, and the data in its eyes disappeared, becoming as clear as a mirror, clearly reflecting Su Ming'an.

Its illusory hand pressed on Su Mingan's shoulder, and its perfect face got closer and closer——

"What do you mean by 'so that's how it is'?" The voice was close to Su Ming'an's ear.

Su Mingan raised his hand to close the live broadcast room. In an instant, millions of eyes of fear, confusion, confusion, and unwillingness were cut off.

He took a few breaths, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was slightly red, and his expression seemed to be condensed with a ball of fire, as if he would be burned even if he came close.

Then, he slightly pulled his lips.

"...'Redeem Zhai Xing', what kind of ghost wish is this?"

He grinned.

"If Akto had said that he wanted to rule Zhai Star and take power with one person, wouldn't there be so many things happening in the ruined world?"

There was a taste of blood in his mouth, as if he was chewing his own flesh and blood.

He looked straight into the dawn and saw it sighing slowly.

"If the doctor's wish back then had been more selfish," it said, "Maybe...he really wouldn't have died."

This sentence was like a sharp spike piercing Su Ming'an's heart. His legs trembled for a moment, and then he was quickly controlled by himself to stand still.

"The doctor proposed the wish of 'redeeming Zhai Xing' back then. However, there was another person who passed all levels perfectly at that time, who proposed the wish of 'letting Zhai Xing be promoted to a higher dimension'." Liming said:

"These two desires conflict with each other."

"If you want to 'redeeme Zhai Xing', it means that the sovereignty of Zhai Xing must be returned to humans. High-dimensional forces such as the organizer can no longer interfere with Zhai Xing, including high-dimensional civilizations such as [other dimensions]. You can no longer interfere with everything about Zhai Xing."

"If you want to 'promote Zhai Xing to a high dimension', it means that Zhai Xing will become a part of the high dimension and will be inextricably linked to the organizers and other high-dimensional forces."

"In the case of conflicting wishes, [the rules] determine both the former and the latter. It retains both Akto's 'protection' and the other person's 'dimension enhancement'."

"The wish came into effect."

"High-dimensional forces can invade Zhai Xing, but they cannot really interfere with everything in Zhai Xing. They can only provoke human infighting through indirect means-for example, whispering temptations and technology investment. At the same time, another person also successfully led some of his companions Shengwei completely left Zhai Xing to explore his ideal hometown."

"Zhai Xing has redeemed it, but it is equivalent to not redeeming it."

"Human beings have been given the opportunity to be promoted. They can hear the whispers of higher dimensions, but it seems that no promotion has occurred."

When Dawn said this, the space became silent.

The origin of a battle between civilizations, mixed with human nature and helplessness, slowly emerged from its words. Simple words reveal the vast conflicts and sacrifices of the past.

Su Ming'an finally understood why [Tavite] didn't invade the ruined world on a large scale at the beginning even though he was so powerful - [Tavite] could clearly have invaded the Dawn System in the first year of the disaster before the firewall of the Dawn System was established. Humans were killed cleanly, but [He Wei] didn't do that.

——It’s just that he is restricted by Akto’s wish and cannot do this.

"The 'Source of Civilization' in the ruined world should have belonged to the two of them, but after the other person successfully ascended the dimension, only the Doctor was left as a human being. Therefore, the 'Source of Civilization' in the ruined world all belonged to the Doctor alone. The hand - Doctor is the 'world' itself." Li Ming said:

"At that time, on the last day of the world game, the organizers proposed that as long as the doctor died, they could let everyone go and prevent the invasion of other civilizations."

"People at that time also believed that the 'Source of Civilization' represented everything in the world, including lifespan, wisdom, strength, and the upper limit of human technology... As long as the 'Source of Civilization' could be obtained, it seemed that anything could be accomplished."

"So, the day before the end of the world game - the vast majority of people hope that the Doctor can share the 'source of civilization' equally among everyone. They believe that such a precious thing should not be concentrated in the hands of one person."

"But the 'Source of Civilization' already belongs to the Doctor and is inseparable from him. Unless the Doctor dies, it cannot be distributed to others."

When Dawn System said this, he paused.

When Su Mingan heard this, he raised his hand and stared at the back of his hand. The six marks of perfect clearance were firmly engraved on the skin of the back of his hand, and they would not disappear even if the skin was cut out.

"So-" Su Mingan whispered:

"Are they forcing Akto to die? Forcing a hero who redeemed the planet to die?"

Dawn coldly said:

“Isn’t that what human nature is like?”

Its voice was harsh, but full of grief and anger.

Snow-white data flow passed around them, 0 and 1 like shining stars. Su Mingan's eyelids drooped slightly and he put down his hand.

"People said at that time——" Li Ming said:

"'Actor, if you don't distribute the source of civilization equally to everyone, you want to be a dictator.'"

"'Actor, you clearly promised that you would take everyone home. Now that our home is right in front of us, for the sake of the overall strength of mankind, why don't you give us the source of civilization'?"

"'Actor, the organizers have promised that you can let us go if you die. Since you are already a hero of mankind, why can't you be a hero to the end?'"

"But the doctor knows that this is not possible. What he has in him is all the 'sources of the world' for mankind. Except for another wish-maker who has left, there is no other qualified person in the world who can inherit these 'sources of the world'. Once the Doctor dies completely, the ruined world will immediately lose its sovereignty."

"This is a trap. With the encouragement of the organizers, few people believe that the Doctor is not afraid of death, but that he cannot die. Even if some people are on the Doctor's side, there is no evidence."

When Su Mingan heard this, he had already imagined the situation at that time.

Everyone who saved him personally pushed Akto to die together for a "promise of safety". It seems that only after he dies will the hero be eternal and worthy of being remembered and erected as a monument in the future.

How did Akto feel when he heard these voices?

Among these voices, there must be human selfishness and fear of dictators. Even some people don't think Akto will be dictatorial, they just don't want him to live.

Su Mingan thought that if it were him, he would definitely not show mercy to these people.

"Finally, at the moment when the World Game ended, the Doctor chose to erase everyone's memory of the World Game and prevent all human beings from civil strife," said Dawn.

"How did he erase his memory?" Su Mingan asked.

"Participants of the World Game can bring back part of their own strength in the game." Liming said: "The doctor's profession back then was called 'price'. You can use what you already own as a 'price' in exchange for attribute points and skills. , equipment, technology, wisdom, abilities, etc. By the end of the game, this profession has almost developed into an authority-like ability."

"It sounds awesome." Su Mingan said. This kind of profession sounds like a very powerful hidden profession.

"The Doctor used part of his own strength as a 'price' to erase people's memories of the World Game. So in your memory, the Doctor's personal combat effectiveness is not particularly strong." Liming said.

"...Hmm." Su Mingan thought of the last figure who died in the public fire.

His heart suddenly became very tense.

Asa Aktor.

"'cost'."

As he recited this professional name, he felt that these two words were heavy, as if they were soaked in tears and blood.

After the Cataclysm of the Century, why did Akto only have eight companions accompanying him? Does Akto have no other comrades?

There must be some, even Su Mingan now has double-digit comrades around him. Akto has such great charisma that it is impossible to lack people around him.

But in the end, Akto only had eight seats left at night.

--cost.

With this kind of professional ability, Akto must have paid a lot of prices that people cannot see with the naked eye. Are his long-standing friends, those who did not step out of the world game in the end, also a "price" of loss?

There is only one last person in the journey of the story, and the scenes of the past disappear at a heavy price. Will there be people who voluntarily sacrifice to say goodbye to Akto, becoming an essential ‘price of civilization’?

"..."

Su Mingan pursed her lips tightly, and the light in her eyes flickered.

The weight of fate hung on his shoulders, pressing down bit by bit.

After a long time, he said:

"I would like to ask why their wishes conflict...didn't they discuss it beforehand?"

"No." Liming said: "The doctor tried to discuss it, but was rejected by the other party. They used to be very good comrades, but later, due to different ideas, the two parted ways. The other party chose to embrace Gao Wei and has been trying to lead All human beings ascended the dimension. Even at the moment when they were about to make a wish, the other party was unwilling to communicate with the doctor. In the end, the doctor kept trying to kill the other party and prevent the other party from making a wish, but he never succeeded."

"The doctor has long seen that no matter what, the desire to 'promote to a higher dimension' is a trap. Once humans rashly step into the realm of [other dimensions], they have given up all their protection restrictions and can be ignored by higher dimensions. Eaten alive without scruples, losing sovereignty.”

"With the doctor's wisdom, he had already guessed that the other person's wish was to advance to a higher dimension. The doctor could have made a wish like 'I want to become a stronger higher dimension', so that he could preserve himself and even become a stronger person. existence. However, the doctor believes that he must retain the bottom line of civilization."

"He must make a wish to protect Zhai Xing, such as 'redeeming Zhai Xing', in order to ensure that Zhai Xing's sovereignty is at least still in the hands of mankind."

"Even if he will suffer tremendous pain and invasion later, even if he himself may not die well."

"Even if he knew that after making this wish, he would lose the opportunity to advance to higher dimensions and get a glimpse of the true meaning of the universe - he is obviously so smart and wants to get a glimpse of the true meaning and mystery of the universe."

"But for the sake of mankind, he gave up. In this way, at least most people can still have a chance to live, instead of becoming victims after being promoted to higher dimensions."

"The doctor predicted that after he made a wish, humans would inevitably be invaded by other civilizations - so he has been cultivating a 'backhand' since the beginning of the world game, using the props and abilities found in each copy to continuously improve ——”

"Finally, at the end of the first year of the disaster, his 'backup' was ready."

After listening to this, Su Mingan looked up at the Liming System: "That's you, right?"

Dawn nodded.

Its eyes are still full of human compassion and sadness. When recalling the history of this civilization, it seems to have a soul:

"I came from a copy of technology. It was just a small watch at first. It only had the lowest level of artificial intelligence and could only play music and play small games."

"It was the Doctor who perfected and filled me in bit by bit during his travels in different dungeons, until I became stronger and stronger. Gradually I was able to construct a virtual world, and gradually I was able to build a firewall."

"Later, in the harsh winter of the first year of the disaster, the doctor put all his abilities on me and transformed me. I was finally able to build a complete two-dimensional world."

"In the end, the doctor opened me up and injected his 'source of civilization' into me at the cost of death, activating a complete two-dimensional world. Subsequently, humans were brought into the two-dimensional world and built layers of firewalls , started a simulation that lasted 2,300 times——"

"Then, Su Ming'an, it's everything you have experienced in the 'ruined world'."

"After the cold winter, spring comes and flowers bloom."

The data space is silent.

The person who brought spring died in the severe winter of the first year of the disaster.

He could have smoothly promoted to higher dimensions, and even used his own wishes to override another person who made a wish, and it was possible to get anything. Eternal life, superb technology, extremely strong strength...

But he voluntarily died in the harsh winter, just after turning nineteen.

For one hundred and two years and 2,300 simulations, he relied on the bionic body he left behind to protect human civilization at all times.

Su Ming'an's heart seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds, and it was sinking every minute.

The name Asa Akto seemed to contain so many meanings that it was difficult for him to even pronounce a single word. It seems that it is no longer calling a person, but a monument of civilization.

"The gods including [Tavi] are also participants in the world game. The gods' professional ability is 'observation', so the gods are so omniscient - the gods want his civilization to survive, and that's why they want to deprive the ruins The civilization of the world." said Li Ming.

"This is the war of civilizations, Su Ming'an."

"——This is 'civilization'."

Su Mingan curled his lips, as if there was blood in his mouth.

——There is no [Tavi],

——It’s just “doctors” from different dimensions leading their own civilization’s path to survival.

He raised his hand, and the ring of time reflected the silver light of each name.

His ending will not be the same as Akto.

Absolutely not.

"An-chan."

At this time, Ah Du, who was on his left wrist, called out softly, as if to comfort him.

"Yes." Su Mingan smiled, and the water in his eyes that had been building up for a long time was suppressed by him.

"……I am here."
