Road to science and technology

Upon hearing this, Yue Yuanzhou immediately turned around and flashed back into the universe.

That's right, unlike previous information transmissions, this time Yue Yuanzhou actually heard it, the kind that he could really hear with his ears. You know, this is in the sea of ​​chaos, and it comes from the universe. It's amazing.

As soon as he returned to the universe, Yue Yuanzhou planned to once again fiddle with the underlying information of the universe and conduct a broadcast dialogue. But just as he was about to start, he stopped, and turned to stand in the void of the universe and said silently: "Yes, I am Yue Yuanzhou, I'm back. Looking for the answer, are you the civilization that cut me out of this universe together with the universe?"

Sound cannot be transmitted in the universe, but Yue Yuanzhou chose to speak silently. His purpose of doing so was simple, just to test how powerful this unknown existence was.

If the other party does not respond, then two conclusions can be easily drawn. One is that the other party did not hear it, which means that the other party still relies on methods that it can understand to detect the information transmission, which means that the other party's level has not reached the point of being incomprehensible.

The second conclusion is that the other party does not want to pay attention to me, but based on the answer just now, this is unlikely.

After speaking silently, Yue Yuanzhou hoped that the other party would answer, but also did not want the other party to answer, so that he could send the message again in the form of a cosmic broadcast.

The wait was not long, and the response came just the next moment after Yue Yuanzhou spoke silently.

"Not really."

The voice was neither distant nor aged, and the tone was ordinary, but it made Yue Yuanzhou's hair stand on end. Because the other party actually received his message, he was clearly just speaking in the vacuum of the universe.

What does this mean? It means that the other party has mastered some kind of detection method that he does not know. In other words, the other party is near you now and is staring at you, and then you can judge the content of your words from the shape of your mouth.

No matter which one it was, it made Yue Yuanzhou feel horrified.

The unknown is always scary. Whether it is unknown detection methods or the other party is right next to him, Yue Yuanzhou cannot detect it.

Fortunately, this existence has no ill intentions towards him, otherwise he would not respond to his search. But why didn't the other person show up after searching for him for so many years at the beginning?

‘Could it be that the other party is a being who has reached a higher level? Are you testing me? ’

At this moment, Yue Yuanzhou had such a doubt in his heart, so he asked: "Are you a person who has stepped on a higher level? Or have you already climbed the 42nd step and climbed over the wall? The wall exists?”

"Not really."

Another short answer without any follow-up.

Yue Yuanzhou felt like he was waiting for him to ask a question, so he was ready to ask again without being polite. But just as he was about to ask the question, Yue Yuanzhou calmed down and discovered that the source of information for this answer seemed to be from outside the universe again. Perhaps the first answer just now came from outside the universe, but he didn't notice it carefully.

"You didn't appear before, were you testing me? Did I destroy this universe then, and you would never appear again." Unknowingly, Yue Yuanzhou used honorifics for this unknown existence.

"Not really."

Three times, this answer came again. This made Yue Yuanzhou complain a little. He couldn't talk properly, right? A master pretending to be mysterious?

Complaints are complaints, but I still dare not say them out loud.

Yue Yuanzhou resisted the urge to complain about this answer and asked: "Can you put it another way? To be honest, your answer feels very perfunctory."

"is that so?"

When the other party finally said something else, Yue Yuanzhou said happily: "That's it."

"All right."

Through these few lines of dialogue, Yue Yuanzhou, who carefully explored, discovered that the other party's voice was really not in this universe.

So this time Yue Yuanzhou no longer hesitated and immediately moved out of the Nano Core Universe and came to the chaotic sea of ​​nothingness.

After a while, Yue Yuanzhou stared intently into the depths of the sea of ​​chaos.

That's where Yue Yuanzhou sensed that the stairs existed.

The voice of the unknown existence seems to come from there. I don't know which step on the ladder it is, or the highest step, or even the other side of the wall.

This feeling is correct, but Yue Yuanzhou is not that forgetful about the other party's answer just now.

This unknown existence denies existence on higher steps or beings who have ascended the highest steps or even climbed over the wall.

"Do you have the answer I need?" Yue Yuanzhou, who was in the sea of ​​chaos, asked again, and then quietly used chaotic information to sense the source of the other party's information.

"have."

have? !

Yue Yuanzhou was startled, because he was very sure, and he didn't even ask what answer he was looking for. How could the other party be so sure? Did the other party know what answer he needed?

"Do you know what the answer I need is?" Yue Yuanzhou asked directly instead of speculating, because he felt that sometimes speculation is redundant, such as when facing this unknown existence that seems to be beyond his own understanding.

"I have no idea."

Yue Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief at the unknown existence's answer.

Because such an answer at least does not completely exceed one's understanding of the unknown. Such an answer shows that this unknown existence does not have the ability to read one's own thinking. Of course, Yue Yuanzhou preferred not to guess, or that there was no need to guess.

However, the unknown being's next words turned Yue Yuan Zhou's relieved breath into a breath of cold air.

I only heard the unknown being continue to say: "But I can know, but it's just not necessary."

The source of the information seemed to have come from the Nano Core Universe again, but Yue Yuanzhou did not return to the universe again because now he felt that this was his illusion.

Even if he could truly perceive it through the chaotic information flow, Yue Yuanzhou felt it was an illusion. Because he believed even more that the information came from that wall.

After thinking about it for a moment, Yue Yuanzhou felt that this situation was like facing a low-level civilized individual. It was entirely up to him to collect information through various signs to judge what he needed and even what he was thinking, but it was not necessary.

This feeling is the feeling of those ninth-level civilizations in the Defender universe facing the soon-to-be omniscient and omnipotent Defenders, right?

This situation inexplicably reminded Yue Yuanzhou of what happened in the Defender Universe.

"I want to know the reason why I traveled across time. Do you have an answer?" Yue Yuanzhou stared hard at the stairs deep in the sea of ​​chaos, and then asked.

While asking questions, Yue Yuanzhou mustered up his courage and used all his means to transform himself into the form of chaotic information, and stepped towards the direction of the ladder he perceived.

Yue Yuanzhou, who transformed into the form of chaotic information, flowed with the information of the Chaos Sea, and it seemed that the information of the Chaos Sea carried him. In a unit that did not need to be measured by time, Yue Yuanzhou stepped on the steps of nothingness.

Yue Yuanzhou had been to this invisible step before, and the first step was the one he could easily step on before.

But now, Yue Yuanzhou wants to take the second step.

There is nothing unknown about stepping on the stairs to Yue Yuanzhou. He knows that with his current ability or technological strength, he can step up, but he can only step up with 'half a foot'.

So Yue Yuanzhou stepped up with one foot and listened.

In order to more clearly perceive the unknown existence or the exact 'position' of the source of the sound information.

"Yes!" The unknown existence answered with certainty.

But Yue Yuanzhou frowned, because his mind at the moment was no longer on the answer to the question, but on exploring the source of unknown information.

Needless to say, this is Yue Yuanzhou's addiction to exploring the unknown. He wants to miss any possibility of understanding the unknown and making himself stronger, even in the face of the answer he is looking for.

In Yue Yuanzhou's mind, the answer to his own time travel is certainly attractive, but this answer can also be found by stepping to the top of the steps.

However, Yue Yuanzhou was horrified to find that the source of information about the unknown existence was gone, and he could no longer detect it.

At this moment, Yue Yuanzhou finally knew that this might be intentional by the unknown being.

So he stopped struggling and simply asked: "Who are you?"

The unknown existence said that it had the answer to the reason why he traveled through time, but at this time, Yue Yuanzhou was not in a hurry because he wanted to know what this unknown existence was.

"who I am?"

Regarding Yue Yuanzhou's question, the unknown being asked this question, seeming to be a little surprised that Yue Yuanzhou actually cared about who he was before the answer.

Yue Yuanzhou determined his question: "Yes, who are you?"

Unknown Being: "This question is a bit difficult."

Yue Yuanzhou was curious: "Isn't it difficult for me to know who I am anymore? Well, sometimes it is difficult."

who I am?

Where do I come from?

Where do I go?

Three major problems of philosophy.

Yue Yuanzhou understood that the unknown existence must have thought that he was asking, 'Who am I? ’

This is a beautiful misunderstanding, so Yue Yuanzhou has no intention of clarifying it. At this moment, he also wants to know what this kind of existence above his own level thinks of 'Who am I? ’ this question.

The unknown existence answered after a moment: "It is indeed a little difficult, but it is not too difficult, because I know who I am, I know how I was born, I know my form of existence, and I know everything about me, so I know who I am, not only do I know who I am, but I also know where I come from and where I am going. It’s just that, I think, what you asked about should be my title.”

"Yes, but if you are willing to share your past and future, I don't mind hearing it."

Just a title, of course, is not exactly the same as the deeper meaning of the question of who I am, but at this moment Yue Yuanzhou honestly admitted it, but he also expressed his wish to know more.

The unknown existence seemed to smile, and then said: "No existence has ever called me, but you can call me: Thinker."

Thinker? ! ! !
