I Am God!

The project in front of the temple is getting bigger and bigger, and the buildings are rising taller and taller, as if they are going to penetrate directly into the clouds.

It was a super-large iron tower-shaped building, and its core was a crystal similar to an energy crystal. But if you look closely, you will find that the entire iron tower is actually made up of countless wisdom, large and small, driven by that crystal. Mechanically spliced.

Many metal robots create various mechanical creations, often filling them with themselves and becoming a part of them.

And at the top of the tower.

The space is criss-crossed and divided into triangular steel frames.

There is a large structure that looks like a piano, and it is that "piano" that controls everything.

Watching this scene, the puppet understood from its own perspective why the other party was not interested in building civilization at all, and it suddenly dawned on it.

“He doesn’t need anyone, He alone is a civilization.”

"He doesn't need people to worship and worship Him. He can create all kinds of things with his own power. No wonder he has no interest in building civilization."

The puppet sighed.

"With such existence in the world, what is the meaning of ordinary people?"

The puppet watched the project gradually improve and understood that the time for the god's departure was gradually approaching. Once the other party made a decision, it was irreversible, at least it was not something it could stop.

But even if the other party didn't agree to him, it still followed its own ideas on the way back.

"Can I do it alone?"

"try it?"

The puppet returned to his base, which was the wreckage of the energy crystal ship.

It took inventory of the various resources it had and the various facilities on the ship that could still function.

But reality soon told him that after losing the overall scientific and technological capabilities of the civilization, he could not even build a signal transmission tower on his own. Each component may not seem like a big deal, but it is the combined power of the entire civilization and countless people. Made with wisdom.

Not even a tower, let alone the restoration of civilization.

And the most important thing to establish a civilization is an intelligent group as the main body, but the puppet and his energy crystal ship were created because of the signal light project. Their mission and the function of the ship is to cruise around the world continuously. Send signals to the ground, waiting for the return of the main civilization.

Moreover, the technological capabilities of the mermaid civilization are mainly in energy crystals and how to create life.

To be honest, this is not their strong point.

The puppet stood under the lamp, feeling a little depressed.

"I and the facilities on the ship alone cannot restore civilization. When they left, they never thought that they would never come back. All the facilities and traces on the ground have disappeared."

"And even if the facilities and traces on the ground have not disappeared, I have no way to recreate them."

At this point, it should have given up because it calculated that its chances of success were next to zero.

but.

After possessing real wisdom and emotion, this energy crystal puppet suddenly understood something at this moment. Some things must be done even if they are very slim.

It doesn't want to go back to the days when it was cruising alone in the sky day after day, or wandering on the earth, nor does it want to go to the starry sky to face the truth that civilization may have completely disappeared.

For it at this moment, it seems that there are no more choices.

It stood up again and looked in the direction of the temple.

——

On the iron tower, Herfas was observing the starry sky.

He knew that a long, long time had passed in this world, but he didn't know exactly how long he had been in the darkness. After all, there was no time scale there at all. Everything just came from his self-perception and thinking prison.

It could be a moment, it could be a million years, it could be eternity.

There you will find that time is actually a concept designed by life itself.

In fact, he could also directly try to leave this world by leaving his soul out of his body, but he was worried that once he left this body, he would lose the ability to sense anchor points due to this special isolation and the power to erase coordinates.

By then, he will probably fly out of the universe again.

At least he couldn't try this method rashly here. He was prepared to use the safest way to fly out of this world, and then make the next plan.

soon.

A servant of God came to the iron tower with a puppet left by the mermaid civilization, and then let the puppet walk in front of him.

The servant caught it on the window of the temple because it tried to steal the jars inside the temple, which are the so-called cloning machines, which are products of technological civilizations from the depths of the stars.

Perhaps, it is also related to the technological civilizations and countries that originally flew out of this world, but they are no longer one.

Such a long time has passed.

Even if the original civilization has continued, there is no trace of that original civilization, not even the ethnic group.

The only thing left behind may be the concept of technology.

When the puppet saw the figure of the god, it suddenly felt a strong sense of shame. It seemed that it suddenly woke up and didn't understand why it suddenly did such a thing.

It knelt on the ground and spoke to the gods.

"I committed the crime of theft and I accept your punishment."

The puppet didn't know why it became like this. Suddenly everything about it changed, although its world didn't change much.

It began to want to do things it had never thought of before, it was controlled by various emotions, and it committed the crime of theft.

This is definitely not what an energy crystal puppet who follows the rules and strictly follows instructions should do.

It obviously possesses human things like wisdom and emotion, but for some reason, these things give it a feeling that it is broken. It does not feel that it has become wiser, and even feels that it has become wiser. Time to get sillier.

The gods looked at it.

The other party did not ask why it stole the cloning machine, because the other party knew that it wanted to create an intelligent population through that machine, and even knew that it was self-righteous that the gods would never lend such a thing to it, so it chose the stupidest one in the moment. Way.

The spirit knows its every move and the countless clues in its mind, and when it reaches this point, many words become meaningless.

The so-called offenses and crimes have become irrelevant. What can make him think a little bit may be the other party's desire to restore civilization.

He just said.

"Even if you create the fish-men, dragon-men, and bird-men of the past, it is impossible to recreate civilization so simply. The era of dragon beasts is over, and the ecological environment that can accommodate them has also been ended."

"In the past, those who created the intelligent people were a group of beings called witches. They had the power of giant gods to reshape the world. They had the artifacts to dominate the gods and could simulate the environment in a glass jar for tens of millions of years to slowly adjust the bloodline of the intelligent people. .”

"Although you don't need to reshape the world like a witch, you also don't have a glass vat to adjust your bloodline."

The puppet said: "I can also try slowly and slowly find the ethnic group that can adapt to this world over the years."

Spirit: "You can't do it."

Puppet: "Why?"

Spirit: "You will die."

Puppet: "You mean, I will be broken?"

God: "Broken refers to a machine. You are a life, and all lives will die, even if you are a special individual."

Only then did the puppet realize that the wisdom and emotion it possesses are not indefinite, and when the deadline is reached, it will once again become the machine that follows the instructions and wanders blankly through the years.

Although it had a feeling that it was broken and was afraid that it was not following instructions, it became extremely panicked when it knew that it was about to lose this feeling.

The puppet was silent and asked: "How long can I have it?"

Helfas: "Your body can function for a long time, but your wisdom, emotions and desires can only last for a thousand years at most."

A thousand years.

For some people, it is unimaginably long; for others, it is as short as morning dew.

The puppet became at a loss for a moment. What it just said was based on the belief that it had plenty of time. It thought that the adventure it had received was endless.

It began to understand that this was an extremely wonderful feeling for it from now on.

Every moment is passing.

Every minute is precious.

On the iron tower, the gods asked it.

"Are you planning to use this thousand years to experience the colors of this world, to squander it, or to quietly appreciate every moment of your life?"

"Or do you want to invest this millennium in a long journey of reviving civilization where you don't know when you will see the results?"

When it left, the gods also told it.

"If you choose the latter."

"Then come here and find me. I can give you the machine you want."

——

The construction of the flying tower that will leave this world is nearing completion.

It can be seen that there are fewer and fewer servants of God scattered on the island and outside. They have cast themselves into the giant building one by one according to the plan, and will follow their gods to the stars. Then go to another world.

The puppet would come here every day to look at the construction process of the flying tower, and he began to become more and more anxious day by day.

When the flying tower was finally completed, it could no longer hold back. It began to question its own heart, whether it really wanted to restore civilization.

Finally, it thinks it wants it.

It longs for the prosperity that civilization still has.

It misses the cities and buildings located on the earth, the figures of people coming and going, and the rising and falling energy crystal aircraft.

It no longer wants to follow the instructions in a daze, nor does it know how a person can feel the so-called colors of the world in this world.

It is not willing to look for answers in the starry sky, it just wants to hold something that it can hold.

Even if it cannot see these things now, it believes that they will appear one day.

It came to the foot of the flying tower.

We boarded a mobile iron carriage that passed straight through this huge building and kept rising upwards.

It felt a little nervous, but as the iron carriage stopped, it reached a floor covered by a steel frame and a crystal dome.

not far away.

There is the "piano".

No one was playing the "piano", but the keys were pressed by themselves. The sweet melody echoed under the dome, and instructions were conveyed to every corner.

It stared intently at the piano, as if it felt that it contained the ultimate meaning of the gods and the inconceivability of the extraordinary world.

Passing between the huge steel pillars and steel frames, the shadow of the god appeared in front of it unknowingly. It immediately stopped and hurriedly saluted the figure standing on the edge of the dome's crystal surface.

The god didn't mention what happened before. When it came here, it already indicated that it had made a choice. The god just told it that the machine was in the temple, and that he would leave here later.

When the other person is leaving.

The puppet finally remembered that it seemed that it had never had a serious communication with the god in front of it. It had no idea of ​​the other person's past or where the other person was going.

The other party is like a machine that knows the answer. Every time it comes over, it just throws out the answer without any process.

But at this moment, it finally couldn't help but ask.

“What exactly is the answer you’re looking for?”

The spirit finally took a look at it and told him.

"I want to know who I really am?"

The puppet is a little confused. Isn't the other party's name Helfas? Why does it say that he doesn't even know who he is?

The god raised his head and looked into the depths of the universe.

"I'm going to find my true hometown and where I come from."

"I want to see where I was born and know why I was born."

Puppet: "Is it that simple?"

God: "After experiencing all kinds of years, everyone will find that what they need is very simple, but what seems to be the simplest is the most difficult. Gods will engrave it and call it God's desire."

Puppet: "Then why not choose a more grand and interesting God's Desire?"

God: "The desires of gods are chosen by the gods themselves, but it does not mean that you can choose whatever you want. Each god will go through his own long life. After going through many difficulties and tests, a choice will appear at that time. In His presence.”

"At this moment, you find that you seem to be free to choose everything, but the past has pushed you into a situation where you have no choice."

"Some gods are lucky and bear the most beautiful fruits."

"Unfortunately, not all gods are so lucky."

The puppet is incomprehensible.

It seems that the gods are not what it imagined. It thinks that the gods are the kind of beings who can get whatever they want.

As the spirit departs, the puppet asks him to leave behind his supernatural power.

It is like a mortal who has gradually become accustomed to the setting of the god as a wishing machine in this short period of time, and has even developed some kind of dependence.

but.

This time the gods rejected it.

The god asked it: "Without extraordinary power, wouldn't your civilization be able to fly to the stars?"

Those eyes that penetrated the years fell on it and asked it softly.

"Does civilization really need extraordinary power? Do all living beings really need a god? Or do you want to be the god of all living beings?"

It didn't dare to look into the other person's eyes and lowered its head.

because.

Those black eyes seemed to have dug out every thought deep in its heart, looked at it carefully, and even saw every choice it would make, thus deducing its approximate future.

The flying tower emitted strong energy and gradually flew towards the sky.

The spire pierces the clouds.

Submerged in the golden light of the sun.

He set out again, but this time his goal was much more determined, and he probably knew how to find his goal.

He will keep going all the way to the end.

The flying tower flew through the atmosphere, broke away from gravity, and left the orbit of the world.

Look back again.

The whole world disappeared, it should be here, but it can no longer be found.

This is the place where everything originated. You may have owned it once, but once you give it up and embark on a long voyage, the cradle that once gave you shelter and childhood will no longer belong to you.

Helfas looked at the darkness and moved forward step by step, and his divine form began to grow higher and higher.

Finally, he sat down at the piano.

He was left alone.

He gave the order: "Go forward!"

No matter what happened in the past, no matter what the future is like, for individuals living in this world, you can neither restore the past nor grasp the future.

When it fell on him, there was still only one word to move forward in the end.

He left this strange world to search for his origins and past.

besides.

That so-called hometown.

——

The puppet stood on the ground, waving towards the flying iron tower that penetrated the sky, and said goodbye to the last god who left this world.

"farewell."

"God Helfas!"

It knows that the other party, like the civilization it once belonged to, will never come back once it leaves here.

Its civilization traveled to the stars in search of the future, while this god searched for the past.

"home?"

"Where is His hometown?"

It looked up at the sea of ​​stars, guessing which starry sky the other party's hometown was.

When it entered the temple, the pillar-like prayer machine had already been dismantled, and the fossil worshiped by the servants of God had also disappeared, leaving only an empty altar.

Going further back, the vast space inside contained the cloning machine it wanted, as well as a large number of jars.

But the figure in the jar had long since disappeared and became empty.

But after searching around, it found some liquid in a jar that had been used to preserve those bodies.

It was saved immediately.

Because an idea came to his mind, if he wanted to build a new intelligent race, why should he create mermaids, dragons and birdmen?

What kind of ethnic group can be better than that god's form?

It cheered for the idea that suddenly appeared in its mind, and then felt more and more that it should do this.

"Who should I call you?"

"God man?"

"Just call someone!"

The first steps were taken, machines and samples were obtained, and the plan began to become clear.

The next step is to start creating prototypes one by one, and then combine the environment and use technology and its methods to promote the plan.

Even if.

It ends with wisdom.

The instructions it sets will also control the puppet and carry out the plan step by step to the end.

Until one day, beings named humans appeared in this world and established their civilization.

They were not born from myths, but continued the concept of technology. They were not possessions created by gods, and they did not need a superior god to guide them.

It disassembled the core of the Energy Poseidon crystal spacecraft and moved it to the island temple on the water. It prepared to launch its own plan here and regarded it as a new base.

It stood in front of the ship's core and turned it back on.

The huge energy crystal console bloomed with light.

"Authentication."

The puppet raised its head, and the light fell on it.

Illuminating the wave mark on its forehead, it looks like a divine mark.

"Identification confirmed."

"Mermaid Empire - Poseidon-type permanent self-circulating energy crystal puppet!"
