Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

At this moment of unprecedented change, there are many possibilities.

Mo Dao's current life is indeed very different from the previous ones.

With the help of hibernation technology, under the constraints of countdown time, the time limit of the life that should have ended in the early summer of 1982,

There was a large degree of deviation, and the end of one lifetime was delayed by more than double the time.

This may be the reason for the new changes in the countdown before our eyes.

At the same time, this is also the first time that Mo Dao has arrived outside the solar system.

This is also the difference between this life and previous lives.

So,

What does the change in countdown mean at this moment?

Can it never be repeated, or will the countdown always stop at the zero position at this moment?

As the countdown in front of me stays at zero for longer and longer,

Mo Dao, because the energy from reaching the end of this life seems to flow back into the body a lot,

My thinking gradually became clear again.

And at the same time,

In the short time of thinking here,

In the surrounding area, other changes were taking place at the same time.

Miss Qin Huaishi, who had been supporting and embracing Mo Dao before,

Disappeared from Mo Dao's field of vision.

More precisely,

It’s not just Miss Qin Huaishi, but the whole voyage spaceship of Qisuo.

The bench Mo Dao was sitting on before.

The small parks and squares on the edge of the living area of ​​the Quest voyage spacecraft where we were previously located,

You can see some laboratories and large conference rooms in the experimental area that provide researchers with continued research.

And the inner layer that supports all of this, the quest's voyage spaceship, is constantly being pushed and rotated.

The outer shell that wraps the inner layer and connects the engine system of the long-distance voyage spacecraft,

These are gone.

This process is neither abrupt nor very gradual, making it difficult to describe in simple words.

Just for a short time,

Mo Dao was directly exposed to the starry sky and the universe from inside the original Quest.

But the amazing thing is,

Mo Dao's body, which had already reached the end of his life, did not undergo any changes due to his exposure to the cosmic environment.

There was no suffocation, nor did the body swell.

Mo Dao tried to stand up under this starry sky and universe.

This is a very strange feeling and process,

I couldn't see any solid support under my feet, and there was nothing at hand that looked like I could draw on it.

But as soon as Mo Dao stretched out his hand, he reached the seemingly invisible borrowing point.

As soon as he stood up, he stood firmly in the void of the universe.

What's even weirder is that after Mo Dao got up, he tried again.

Moving around, it's like walking on a solid flat ground.

However, you can still go up and down at the same time.

Going up, it's like invisible stairs appear in the void,

Going down is like climbing down stairs.

This basically means that there is a high probability that he is no longer inside the quest.

Lowering his head, Mo Dao glanced at his chest,

There is no ups and downs, I feel the lower nose, and there is no airflow from the mouth and nose to breathe.

But he didn't feel suffocated.

At this moment,

It is impossible to say that Mo Dao did not have any emotional ups and downs.

However, the long life he has spent has still given Mo Dao a high level of acceptance of many things happening.

Without moving around, Mo Dao looked at the starry sky again.

He could still see the dimly glowing Proxima Centauri star, as well as the other two stars in Nanmen 2. Judging from the movement trajectory and visual size of Proxima Centauri,

He should still be at the previous location not far from the Quest, at least, that's how it seemed.

On this voyage, the Quest voyage spacecraft did not carry many weapons.

It’s not that I love peace very much, it’s just that there’s not much need.

Although the quest ship was already the pinnacle of human technology when it set sail.

But when it comes to a light-year voyage, it's still barely enough.

If we encounter a civilization on the way that cannot reach the technological bottom line of the voyage era, it will be difficult for the enemy to attack the quest ship if it does not attack.

And when encountering something that surpasses human civilization... this is basically the current situation.

"Hello, leader of human civilization, you have arrived at the boundary before the birth of your civilization."

in silence,

A voice, or more accurately, a message appeared.

In front of Mo Dao, under the starry sky and in the universe, a dividing line appeared at the same time.

From the farthest point that can be seen on the left side of Modao, it extends to the farthest point that can be seen on the right side of Modao.

This seems to be a symbol.

And in this silence, when that sentence appeared, the amount of information was obviously very large.

Not only the amount of information in the words themselves, but also the amount of physical information.

When that sentence appears,

There was no specific conversation partner in front of Mo Dao.

In front of him, there is still a certain starry sky in the Proxima Galaxy.

Mo Dao stood in the starry sky, paused for a while, and looked at the starry sky and universe in front of him.

——It is the universe itself that 'speaks'.

At this moment, in this starry sky, from Proxima Centauri to the other two stars of Proxima Centauri to the empty and empty background of the universe,

They are all sending out a message in a way that is incomprehensible.

This information comes neither from sound nor from visual images.

There is no transmission process, no transmission channel can be seen, it directly appears in Mo Dao's cognition.

Mo Dao's first reaction was that it was 'decoded' into one sentence,

But it seems that if you think about it, this information can be transformed into a picture with more information.

“You can cross the border and your civilization will literally be born in the universe.”

After these words, the transmission of information seemed to have stopped temporarily, waiting for Mo Dao's response.

“What does true birth mean?”

Mo Dao's emotions at this moment are indescribable.

His thinking ability, which has been increasing over the years, allows him to think of many things at this time.

However, his expression was still calm after all. He just faced the starry sky in front of him and asked a key question.

"As the leader and pioneer of human civilization, you still have a long time and infinite possibilities, but everything in the past will be fixed."

"Just like a child in the mother's womb, the past gestation time has shaped it. After birth, nothing in the past gestation time will be able to change. However, after the child is truly born, he will also face a broader world and room for growth."

With almost no delay, the answer to the question appeared in Mo Dao's mind in the same form.

"Who are you?"

After receiving this answer, Mo Dao immediately asked another question.

There is already some obvious information on this issue.

Based on the information revealed in the words, it seems that the source of information transmission is no stranger to Mo Dao and human civilization.

And the countdown frozen in front of me also directly showed that,

The individual or civilization from which this information comes is directly connected to Mo Dao, the countdown clock that has spent a long time with him.

The countdown in front of me seems to be frozen because I have reached the boundary before birth.

What is the boundary, beyond the solar system where human civilization was born?

However, at this moment Mo Dao realized that this question still needs to be asked,

Because there is obviously a lot of information, there are also a lot of questions,

And it’s almost impossible to get around.

Faced with this problem, the starry sky still gave no feedback.

"We gave birth to you."

This sentence contains even more information.

"Together we gave birth to you."

The word 'pregnant' is already quite special.

Mo Dao did not give an answer at this moment,

And as if he guessed what Mo Dao was thinking, the starry sky gave Mo Dao a clear message.

"It's not creation, it's gestation."
