The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After recovering those memories of the past, Leo spent a long time researching his own source, that is, the period before human beings were still apes living in trees and did not go down to the ground.

However, the memory of that period can provide him with too little information, because at that time he had no wisdom at all, and he followed instinct when doing things, and also because his brain was not developed, the things he could remember were very limited. There are few, and among these pitifully few memories, most of them are memories that he is very reluctant to recall and would rather forget, such as the process of ape-man courtship and so on.

Undoubtedly, from his current point of view, all the actions he did in the ape-man period were inhuman behaviors that he couldn't bear to look at directly. After studying the memories of the origin period for a while, he directly sealed those memories and didn't want to touch them again.

However, all the scenes he saw now made him unable to help recalling that memory.

Among those unbearable memories, some memory fragments are very clear, such as the fragments of him getting along with the mother ape-human, the fragments of the birth of his offspring, the fragments of the growth of his offspring, and the fragments of those close companions and relatives who died in front of him, etc. In addition, there are some memory fragments that are also very clear, and the scene he sees now completely matches a clear fragment in his memory.

The reason why this memory of the scenery in front of him is so clear is first of all because this is the place where he buried his first offspring.

His first offspring was killed by a saber-toothed tiger before he grew up. At that time, he killed the saber-toothed tiger in anger, and had two ideas that had never been seen in the ape community at that time. One was burial, and the other was It is a sacrifice.

In his memory, he just buried his first offspring at the edge of a small forest far away, then tore off the head of the saber-toothed tiger with his teeth and arms, and placed it in front of the tomb of his first offspring, expressing his consciousness from An unknown sacrifice that has never existed and has no concept at all.

Secondly, the reason why Leo can remember this scenery is that he also became an undead at this time, but in his memory fragments, there is no detailed process on how to become an undead. As for where it is different, it is completely unclear, at least at that time, it was impossible for his ape-man brain to understand these things, and even if he died from then on, he would come from another place, from here on out. Another human being lives, and in the process, sometimes he loses his memory, and sometimes he saves or restores his previous memory. It feels somewhat similar to the problem he is encountering now.

"Is this an illusion created by the Supreme Court?" After Leo figured out where he was, he couldn't help guessing that all this might be the evil taste of a giant in the Supreme Court, through the fragments in his memory A phantom created during the Old Earth period.

While having doubts in his heart, Leo also activated his spiritual vision, and in order to enhance the strength of his spiritual vision, he also injected the power of the Stone Throne, in order to try to see through the illusion in front of him through the ability of the eye of truth.

However, after his spiritual vision was activated, the scene in front of him did change, but it was not blurred or transparent like the phantom that was seen through, but still presented in front of his eyes in a solid state. There are some more things, these things are the laws of the world all over the earth, the number of these world laws is almost endless, intertwined and fused with each other, forming a law that is more complicated than any world he has seen in the world tree. The giant net of laws covers the entire earth, and at the same time, it is connected with the net of laws that the outer space belongs to galaxies, star regions, and the universe.

It is not particularly difficult to create an illusion or domain that is close to reality, but to create a perfect world and even the laws of the universe, this kind of thing is impossible even for the giants of the Supreme Council of the Universe and the High Court. The law that Leo saw was such a perfect sequence of laws.

"It's so difficult that it's really the earth in the past?" Leo couldn't help but wonder, and at the same time, he boldly guessed whether he had traveled back in time to the past universe.

Although this conjecture is a bit too bold, it is not a delusion that cannot be realized at all. In fact, in the subspace, it is not uncommon to be imaged by some mysterious power in the subspace, travel through time, and go back to the past. The Federation has also recorded more than a dozen similar incidents.

For example, there was once a subspace spacecraft that escaped from the subspace rift and entered the normal space, then docked in the dock of the space station. When the dock staff inspected the spacecraft, they found that there was no living thing on the spacecraft. The landing and docking are all performed by the control system of the spaceship mastermind, and they also found that the number of this spaceship is an empty number.

Afterwards, they called up the flight records and internal monitoring of the spacecraft and found that the spacecraft turned out to be a concept spacecraft that was still in the laboratory design stage and had not been manufactured. The spaceship was manufactured decades later and began to be used. As for the internal monitoring of the spaceship, they also saw some spaceship staff, and after comparison, they found that most of these staff were not recorded in the population data , and those who have identity data are all old people, and these old people are still some children.

After research by the relevant official departments, they came to the conclusion that when the spaceship was sailing in the subspace, it was dragged into the turbulent time by the mysterious power of the subspace, and returned to the previous time, only the people on board None of them have the ability to resist the power formed by time regression, and are completely wiped out by time, only the spaceship remains.

Although this explanation sounds reasonable, it is only recognized by ordinary people. For the vast majority of scientists, this explanation is full of loopholes and cannot explain this phenomenon, but they all agree that the spacecraft came from some time in the future.

There are still many things similar to future objects appearing in the Earth Federation through the subspace. The Earth Federation even established a special department to study this phenomenon, and even tried to master the mysterious power of the subspace, which is obscure in time. At the end of memory, the exclusive department of the Earth Federation has not produced any research results.

It is precisely because of so many precedents that Leo now guesses that he may have traveled through time, even if the time span is a bit longer.

In order to confirm his guess, Leo spread his psychic wings and flew towards the grave of the first descendant in his memory.

Soon he flew to the outside of the small forest, and easily found the location of the first descendant's grave. That location was very eye-catching outside the small forest, which was not particularly large. It was just a small hill. A ginkgo tree grew and this feature is also unique.

However, although he found the hill and the ginkgo tree where the tomb was, he did not see the tomb he dug for the first offspring.

Just when Leo, who was suspended in the air, was thinking about the problem, there was a sudden noise from the forest not far away, and some birds flew out of the forest, disturbed by the noise, and then saw an ape-man hugging him with one arm. Holding a bloody ape-man corpse, and carrying a huge saber-toothed tiger head on his shoulders, he got out of the forest. Then he stopped outside the forest, stood tall, looked around, and saw the small hills and ginkgo trees not far away. tree, and quickly walked over there.

The ape-man didn't look up, and naturally he didn't see Leo floating in the air, and after Leo saw the ape-man, he immediately understood that it was his past self.

Although he knew that the ape-man below was him, Leo had no intention of falling down to contact it, he just suspended in the air and watched quietly, he was waiting for the mysterious existence that gave him the talent of the undead to appear.

I saw that the ape-man came under the ginkgo tree, put the corpse and head aside, and then dug a hole on the ground with his bare hands.

The surrounding weather is very cold, and the ground is very hard. It is difficult for ordinary people to dig out the frozen soil with tools, but the ape-man dug it up with his hands. Soon a deep pit that could accommodate the little ape-man was dug out.

Afterwards, the ape-man put the corpse into the deep pit, and then buried the soil in the pit. This scene also evokes related memories in Leo's heart, and makes him feel a kind of intense sadness that he has never had before.

After burying the little ape-man's body, the ape-man placed the sabre-toothed tiger's head on the top of the grave, and then sat beside the grave, until the sky became completely dark, then slowly got up, returned to the forest, and climbed onto the tree .

Seeing this scene, Leo was stunned, because he had been waiting for the mysterious power that inspired his undead talent to appear, but until the ape-man returned to the forest, there was no extraordinary power around him, let alone transforming the ape-man.

"It's hard that that power has already appeared, but I didn't notice it?" An idea suddenly appeared in Leo's mind, but he quickly denied it, because he not only used his spiritual vision ability to monitor everything around him. Power, including various laws, also uses the mental net to completely surround the surroundings, and any disturbance cannot escape his perception. More importantly, his spiritual net also wraps the ape-man in it, monitoring the changes in its body, and Until the ape-man enters the forest, there is no change in the ape-man's body.

"Has it been transformed before?" Another guess appeared in Leo's mind, but it was also denied, because in his memory he clearly remembered that his origin was to bury the first offspring, and then After placing the head of the saber-toothed tiger on the top of the tomb for sacrifice, I felt that my body had changed, and it became different from before.

After denying various speculations one after another, Leo suddenly had a bold idea, saying: "Could it be that I am the mysterious force that caused the origin to change? But if that's the case, then I didn't do anything just now. Doesn't it represent my origin or is it a normal ape-man, I won't show up at all?"

Thinking of this, Leo found himself caught in a logical paradox, and based on his experience, as long as this kind of time-level causal paradox appears, it means that this paradox does not exist, and it also means that the cause of this paradox The idea of ​​a paradox is wrong.

Just when Leo was deep in thought, the scene in front of him suddenly changed again, but this time it was no longer the grassland, forest and snow-capped mountains, but a swamp.

With almost no need for analysis, Leo can be sure that this swamp is on Earth, and he has also awakened information related to this swamp in his mind.

In his memory, this swamp was where he was after his first reincarnation. The original ape-man was bitten to death by a beast attack. At the moment of death, he was in a southern swamp very far from the place of death. Rebirth, and his reborn body is no longer an ape-man, but a primitive man with a certain amount of wisdom. Obviously, his rebirth not only spans space, but also spans time. This is the same as when he died in the normal universe, but in Rebirth in the Velen world of the World Tree is a truth.

In Leo's memory, this rebirth was very strange. Leo even studied this memory for a period of time in the tower library, but there was no result.

The reason why Leo felt weird was because in his memory, he didn't feel any discomfort when he was reborn for the first time. You must know that before rebirth, he was still an ape-man without much wisdom and instinct prevailed. After rebirth, But he has become a primitive man that will not appear until tens or even millions of years later.

In his memory, he quickly accepted his reborn identity and memory without showing any discomfort, and even changed the various habits left by the ape-man life at the origin, without any trace of ape-man, Anyone would see them as separate individuals and would not think they were connected in any way.

While thinking, Leo flew towards the place where the primitive tribe was in his memory.

The primitive tribe that was reborn for the first time in his memory was originally a northern tribe, but due to climate reasons, it began to move south, and finally chose to settle on the edge of this swamp.

And the reason why he chose to settle in the swamp, which seemed to have few resources and not enough prey, was entirely because he was the chief of the tribe after his rebirth, and he thought the swamp was a suitable place to settle.

As for the reason why he had such a completely different idea from the other primitive tribes at that time, it was because he knew that there was a lot of carbon mud in the swamp that could be burned for heating, and the black mud of the swamp was also very fertile, and could easily grow various Food crops, and the moss in the swamp are also very good materials for building tents, and there are no fewer animals inhabiting the swamp than in other places. As long as you set up a little trap, you can catch enough prey.

It's just that this is also the weirdest part for Leo, because neither the ape-man before nor the primitive man afterward has such survival knowledge. It seems that at the moment of rebirth, a lot of advanced knowledge was stuffed into his mind Normally, this made him wonder if there was any mysterious force intervening in it.
