The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the terrain of the swamp is the same, Leo still quickly found the tribe he was reborn in by virtue of the spiritual net, and also found him before rebirth.

As he remembered, during the migration of the tribe, he was injured by a wild animal in the swamp because he was protecting his tribe. In addition, some people in the tribe fell ill due to the climate and environment. They stopped in the swamp and built a temporary camp. After the injury recovered, they migrated to the warmer south.

During this process, although he was treated by the witch doctor in the tribe, and the witch doctor's medicine was applied to the wound, but the medicine was obviously not very clean, and the wound soon became infected. He also had a high fever for several days. Everyone thinks he's dying, so they've already started picking a new chief.

Leo used his spirit to hide himself, and then walked into this temporary camp, came to the tent in his memory, and saw the primitive man himself lying on the ground covered with animal skins. .

Perhaps it was because he had seen the ape-man himself before, which made his emotions not fluctuate too much, and his mentality was like seeing a stranger.

Just like monitoring the ape-man himself before, Leo also used the spirit network to monitor the physical condition of the primitive man himself. Just as he remembered, he was very bad at this moment, and the 40-degree high fever had completely destroyed his body. Function, his brain is probably already half-cooked, it is unknown whether there are still brain cells alive, as for the internal organs and other organs have failed, and breathing is almost on the verge of stopping, it is no exaggeration to say that in a few minutes, the in front of him Primitives will face death.

Leo didn't do anything, just in the tent, waiting for the moment when the primitive man himself would change.

A few minutes later, as he expected, the primitive man stopped breathing by himself, and all the organs of his body gradually failed. There was no signal from the brain. It is certain that he was completely brain-dead at this moment, but some cells in the body were still tenacious. However, in the sense of life, the primitive man himself should be regarded as truly dead at this moment.

A minute later, something happened that was both expected by Leo and unexpected by him. The primitive man himself came back to life, all his body functions returned to normal, and some injuries on his body were slowly recovering. The wound that caused the infection was also recovering, and all these changes were completed in an instant. He even felt that the primitive man in front of him had completely changed himself in an instant, like a frame of transformation in the video. like.

Even though Leo used the spirit net to monitor all the movements of the primitive man, he still didn't discover how his rebirth happened.

At this time, because of the complete recovery of the body, the primitive man himself woke up from the coma and opened his eyes.

However, what made Leo feel weird was that the other party seemed to be able to see him at this moment, because when he opened his eyes, his eyes swept across the tent and fell directly on him, and there was a trace of doubt and panic in his eyes, And there is nothing worthy of the other party's attention where he is.

However, the expression in the other party's eyes soon changed, only doubts remained, and he struggled to get up from the bed and walked towards Leo.

Seeing this situation, Leo moved his position, but the other party didn't notice, but continued to walk to the position where Leo was standing just now, shaking his hand there, as if he was looking for something.

Undoubtedly, judging from the performance of the primitive man himself, it is obvious that at the moment when he woke up just now, he did see himself using psionic power to hide himself, which made Leo curious about the primitive man himself again, and used the mental net to scan again and again The physical condition of primitive man himself.

Although Leo admits that he is not particularly good at using psionic invisibility, he is still a level nine psychic at the moment, and he is only one step away from an Omega-level advanced life form. , the effect of his use will not weaken too much, let alone the eyes of ordinary people, even the best monitoring equipment in the universe cannot detect him who is invisible.

But the fact now is that the primitive man himself, who is still an ordinary person, did see himself at the moment when he opened his eyes to look at the surrounding situation just now, and he became curious, so he came over to fumble for it.

The primitive man's own doubts didn't last too long, and soon he gave up looking for Leo he saw just now, and followed him as if he heard the voice of conversation in the camp, so he picked up a piece of animal skin on the ground and put it on his body , limping out.

When the primitive man left, Leo's inspection was also over. He did find some things that he hadn't discovered just now. But the brain is not just restored, he found that primitive people's own brain ganglia and brain cells are more than ten times more than normal people.

Although his brain size has not increased, judging from the surge in the number of ganglia and brain cells, he is definitely considered to be the smartest person at that time, or even in the entire Old Earth era.

"It's so difficult that this is the reason for having advanced knowledge?" Leo had a guess in his mind, but he felt that the guess was wrong, because the mutation of the brain could not provide advanced knowledge, it would only make him think more than the primitive people at that time. The more you learn, the easier it is to think of a solution when you encounter a problem.

Just like the previous transition, just when Leo didn't notice, the scene in front of him changed again, this time it was the location of his next rebirth, and he also found himself in the next rebirth, and witnessed the whole process of rebirth.

In this way, after going through more than a dozen rebirth processes back and forth, after the scene changed this time, Leo did not look for himself who was about to be reborn, but stood where he was, and said to the surroundings: "You want to What?"

Almost at the same time as Leo's voice fell, a female voice that he felt somewhat familiar sounded behind him, answering his question, saying: "Answer, we want an answer."

Leo turned around and looked behind him, a surprised expression appeared on his face the moment he saw the mysterious existence speaking.

The reason why he was surprised was because he knew the mysterious existence of speaking. Although he was much more mature than he remembered, his appearance hadn't changed much. Apprentice Petunia.

He still remembered that he compiled his knowledge of psychic powers into a book and left it to Petunia to practice according to the content in the notes. It was enough for her to complete the evolutionary sequence of the entire psyker.

After that, when he left that world, he also thought that maybe one day Penny could become a high-level psyker, master the method of opening space rifts, travel through other worlds, and maybe meet in a certain world, but he He never expected to see Penny here in this situation, which also made him doubt the identity of Penny in front of him.

Just when Leo wondered whether the other party had deliberately turned into Penny, the other party took the initiative to salute Leo, and then said in a familiar tone, "Long time no see, teacher."

"Are you really Penny?" Leo frowned and asked.

"Yes." The other party nodded, and added: "But not exactly."

"What do you mean?" Leo asked.

The other party explained: "I am Penny, but Penny is only a part of me, just like Leo is you, but you are only a part of Leo, only with you sitting on the throne, Leo is complete .”

Leo was silent for a while, then asked again: "Who are you?"

The other party replied: "If you call me in the language of the Earth Federation, Gaia is my name."

"Gaia?" Leo wasn't too surprised, because before he came to the High Court, he had already thought that there might be a giant who was the founder of the Supreme Council of the universe, and almost all the myths and history of cosmic civilizations had existed there. Gaia, the Earth Mother, also happens to be one of the giants that he believes are most likely to survive the collapse of the universe.

However, what surprised him was that Penny turned out to be Gaia's clone, but after thinking about Penny's psychic talent, he felt that this was very reasonable. After all, in his memory, there was no psychic beginner who could do so quickly. Learn all kinds of psionic abilities, and even use some basic psionic abilities to achieve the effect of almost strategic-level psionic skills.

While the other party revealed his identity, Leo also had a strong curiosity in his heart. He wanted to know what the legendary Gaia was, so he used the spirit net and other abilities to check the other party.

The other party also noticed Leo's actions at the first time, and did not make any resistance, but let Leo's spiritual net and other probing forces sweep over him.

Although Leo had already guessed what the result would be before the test, but after actually getting the feedback results of various forces, he still inevitably showed some disappointment.

Whether it is the Spirit Net or other probing forces, the results are the same. Gaia, who is wearing Penny's face, is an ordinary human being, and even has the scars that Penny left on her body.

Leo asked in a deep voice: "Did you appear in front of me and become my student on purpose?"

"No, that was an accident." Gaia shook her head and said: "According to our thinking, we will not contact you until you return to the Supreme Court, and everything will develop according to your own ideas. "As she spoke, she smiled again, and said: "However, I was also very surprised when Penny recovered part of her memory in a fully evolved form of life, found herself back in the Supreme Court, and appeared in front of me. After so many years Come on, I invested countless avatars in the countless worlds bred by the world tree. Only one of her has completed the full evolution of life, recovered part of her memory, and found it back to the Supreme Court. So I am curious how she did it, and the result It is really a coincidence to find out that it is related to you."

"Why do you want to create so many clones, is it to integrate into the world tree?" Leo asked again.

"Of course not." Gaia shook his head and said, "Although the World Tree was created by us, it has grown into a complete individual, and our power will only cause harm to him. The reason why I created so many clones Putting myself into those worlds of the World Tree is just because it is too boring, there is no other reason."

"Too boring?" Leo felt a little inconceivable about this answer. In his opinion, these beings at the top of the universe should be exploring various mysteries all the time. How could there be such a feeling of boredom?

Gaia seemed to guess what he was thinking from Leo's expression, so he said earnestly: "A lot of things have changed, aren't you the same? Undead."

Leo thought for a while, then asked again: "Is this an illusion created by you?"

"No, this is the real earth, the earth in the time period you thought it was." Gaia explained: "The moment you entered the Supreme Court, the Lord of Time sent you back to these Earth in time."

Leo believed Gaia's words, but asked puzzledly: "Since you have such a powerful ability to go back in time, why..."

"You want to ask why you didn't send us back before the universe collapsed to prevent the universe from collapsing, right?" Before Leo could finish asking, Gaia asked the question he wanted to ask.

Leo nodded.

Gaia said calmly: "How do you know we didn't do that?"

"You have done it?" Leo was stunned.

Gaia replied: "It has been done more than once, but every time the result is very bad, and the more you do it, the worse the final result. You must know that the universe just failed to ascend the dimension at the beginning, but it collapsed directly in the end. If we If we do that, then maybe when the universe collapses, we will not even be able to keep that bit of origin, and the World Tree will not be able to exist."

Leo asked suspiciously again: "In this case, why this time..."

Gaia explained: "No, the situation between you and me is different now. In the time dimension, we are still in the Supreme Court, and we only appear on the earth in this time period in the form of projection. It is impossible for you to interfere with the time dimension. Things that have happened and things that haven’t happened will not affect the future.” He paused and said, “Actually, it’s not wrong for you to regard him as an illusion, but this illusion is real.”

Leo asked puzzled: "Why did you do this? Why did you send me to this time period to observe the process of my rebirth?"

Maybe it was because of the topic, Gaia's expression also became serious, staring at Leo, and said in a deep voice: "Because we want to know what you are?"

Hearing this, Leo was stunned for a long time before slowly saying, "Am I not the undead?"

Gaia looked at Leo and said, "The Undead is just a name we gave you. We don't know what you are. You appeared so suddenly, it's like clicking an ordinary person on a piece of white paper. It is the same as a small dot that cannot be seen by the naked eye of living things, and this dot is white. But we can see you, and see that you are a part of the universe, but you are incompatible with the universe. We cannot find your source, cannot Speculate on your future, so we are very curious about you."
