"Can you still talk?" the snake man asked.
"Yes... a little, thank you." The armored warrior stumbled and said hoarsely, "Is it the end of the era again?"
"Not yet, there was a little accident." The old snake man pointed at Lu Yuan and others, "A civilization fell into a different space and was trapped here."
The armored warrior stared at Lu Yuan and others faintly, sizing them up with his scarlet eyes for a long time: "You are so kind... you have too much to take care of yourself, and you want to help."
"Ahem..." The old snake man smiled bitterly, he wants to torture me.
I'll dig you out and bear the pressure, and see if you die by the way.
If we are going to be tortured, we brothers will be tortured together!
The old snake man was also cunning and immediately changed the subject: "Brother, I'm helping you. We finally came to a civilization. Before they become extinct, let's get together and have a good meal."
"It makes sense..."
I don't know whether it's because of low intelligence or because life here is too difficult, but the newly carved armor warrior is actually very excited.
"Vegetables...vegetables...do you have leafy vegetables there?"
Lu Yuan was speechless as he was assessing the other party's mental state.
After wandering around like this, five strange people with different shapes were discovered in the tomb!
An armored warrior who wanted to eat vegetarian food, a bat-man who bit anyone he saw, and three... crystal men whose bodies were covered with clay and whose foreheads were inlaid with gems.
Plus the old snake man, there are six strangers!
Everyone was confused at first.
It was only later that I ate datura fruit that I regained my clarity a little.
…
Even the human think tanks at the rear were frightened by this luxurious lineup.
The strangeness of this place far exceeded imagination. Originally, everyone thought it was a completely dead place.
But unexpectedly, so many old people were found.
Creatures like aliens are rarely seen in normal times, but now they are almost free of charge.
People have to sigh that the power of intelligent life is really terrifying.
There are actually people who are tenacious and persevering in such an inhospitable place. It is really beyond imagination and beyond conventional understanding.
…
A group of old creatures, with big eyes and small eyes, hid in a dilapidated stone house and formed a circle.
The humans provided some military food, such as lunch meat, compressed biscuits, canned fruits, etc.
The quantity is not much, just one for each person, because I am worried that they will overeat and eat themselves to death!
These guys ate with gusto, making "sizzling" sounds in their mouths. They were not even satisfied. They licked up all the soup and water left in the bottle with their tongues, and then patted their stomachs with satisfaction.
The old snake man is considered to be in the best condition and has the clearest mind.
He was in a worse state, almost forgetting to speak, and his body deteriorated significantly.
They need more of the "Fountain of Eternal Life" to regain health.
But if you drink too much spring water, your brain will become even more stupid.
"Everyone, there is a young civilization, a human being, that was brought in by [monsters]. For the sake of them giving us spring water to drink and providing delicious food, let's find a way to save it." The old snake man said.
Human beings were a little wary of those [Demons], so there was no rescue this time - having said that, the identities of these strangers were also unclear and quite dangerous, so Lu Yuan kept an eye on them.
These old zombies are confused and have no idea how much intelligence they have.
They were sipping spring water and eating datura fruits.
One item increases the lifespan, while another extraordinary item reduces the lifespan. This goes back and forth, canceling each other out, squeezing out some lifespan in the gap.
"How do you want to save me?"
A creature with a structure like a crystal man said in a mechanical tone: "This place, time has passed for too long, and it has become reincarnations."
"At the end of the era, there will definitely be strangers again, gathering here to avoid disasters."
This intelligent species in the form of crystal appears to be a silicon-based creature and calls itself the "Crystal Concrete Clan."
The body is round and round, and because of its relatively large tonnage, it moves slowly.
But the Crystal People may have been the strongest race ever, because there are a total of 3 Crystal People alive.
One race and three great auras seem to represent the extraordinary heritage it once possessed.
The big crystal man said slowly: "I don't understand why humans would come in at this moment. It's really ridiculous. [Strange] Humans shouldn't be let in..."
"This problem is quite simple. The snake people group has completely degenerated, and it is difficult for [the monster] to obtain aura through raising it." Lu Yuan explained, "It may be in a state of energy shortage, so naturally it can only hunt other wisdom.
Species, access to energy.”
The Crystal Man had a straight face and was eerily silent.
It took a long time before he said: "Everything must come to an end... It seems that the setting here has reached the end of its life."
"Those [Devils] have not succeeded so far, I'm afraid there is no hope."
Another stranger sneered: "No one expects them to succeed. We just have to do our best."
Everyone sighed.
Lu Yuan squinted his eyes, these old guys might know a lot of information.
But they are unwilling to disclose more confidential information.
Or - I dare not say more.
"What level of civilization are you at?" Another old bat man asked Lu Yuan in a confused voice.
"Level 3 civilization..." Lu Yuan was not sure, "It should be..."
The intelligent life in the form of a bat suddenly felt full of superiority: "Level 3 civilization? This is too good!"
"We were still a level four civilization back then, able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth! Volcanic eruptions, lightning storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes were all at our fingertips. But it was just like that, and it was not enough to see in front of [ghosts]."
The old bat pinched his nose and gloated: "You are trapped here and can only wait to die!"
"They have space capabilities, old bat, don't look down on people." The old snake man encouraged at the side.
"Of course, you can also learn from us and make a living. There are only six of us here, so it's a bit lonely!"
"It would be quite lively if there were 60,000 people."
Megmeet of the Lan Peng Civilization was immediately furious. Our prince is still working hard, and the eight million hibernators are not dead yet!
Our plan will definitely succeed!
Just wait and see!
Lu Yuan quickly patted his mecha to signal him to calm down.
These old guys have been confused for a long time. It's normal for them to have unclear minds and bad tempers... Anyway, it's not a loss if they can pull out information.
He took a deep breath and pondered for a while: "Senior, what is a more advanced civilization like? Are you willing to answer our questions? Our third-level civilization has little knowledge and no culture."
This isn't much of a secret.
These old men had been buried in the ground for a long time, but they finally regained some consciousness and had sufficient willingness to communicate.
In addition, it was still early, it was just 11 o'clock at noon, and there was still some time before the [ghost] appeared, so everyone gathered together and started chatting.
Crystal Man patted Lu Yuan's armor: "Don't feel inferior...Level 3 civilization...it's not that bad."
"The division of civilization levels comes from the fifth era!"
"A long time ago, it was pure idealism, focusing on individual strength. Starting from the fifth era, a powerful civilization brought changes. It felt that the limit of individual strength was not enough to overcome the epochal disaster, so it began to focus on the overall development of civilization.
."
Lu Yuan's heart moved. Hai Zhiyun once analyzed that the fifth era was a key time node - the path of combining materialism and idealism started from that time point.
It seems that this analysis is indeed correct.
Crystal Humanity weighing more than ten tons said: "Level 4 civilization can mobilize the original power of Pangea."
"What is original power?"
The crystal man drew a circle on the ground: "Pangaea is a huge idealistic body. Countless lives and civilizations are active here, forming an organic and complex thinking body."
"To describe it in simpler terms, this world has a will. Only by communicating the will of the world and being able to influence some of its decisions can we become a level four civilization."
"Generally speaking, the technologies born at this stage are natural technologies such as lightning storms and volcanic eruptions. But their essential principles are actually based on the original power of Pangea."
Lu Yuan frowned slightly and nodded slightly.
This conversation was transmitted to the rear through electromagnetic waves.
The think tanks were naturally talking about it.
"This statement is not low in reliability... We have long suspected the existence of the will of the world." Hai Zhiyun rubbed his temples and said excitedly, "The most intuitive manifestation - [God], may be the will of the world.
Part of it.”
"You think about it, why is [God] everywhere? How can [God] know that we have completed the milestone of civilization? It is because we are active in Pangea, and the will of the world does not know it."
Lu Yuan's eyes also lit up, and he remembered something: when he domesticated the immortal giant tortoise in the Dinalai Empire's spaceship, it did not immediately trigger a civilization milestone.
Only when the Immortal Giant Turtle came out, the milestone was officially triggered.
"[God] can indeed only detect movements occurring on Pangea."
Of course, the will of the world is not an intelligent life in the conventional sense.
It is an abstract rule system, more like a set of computer programs: if you take actions that are beneficial to the operation of the world, I will give you "civilization points" as feedback.
Once I am destroyed, you can only become a stranger.
The will of the world in the next era will never favor you again.
It has no good or evil, let alone wisdom, but it prefers civilization that can save itself.
If a civilization develops to the point where it can influence the world's will and use the power of Pangea to control its origin, it can basically be called a "fourth-level civilization."
"Looking at it this way, Greenland Civilization is only a fourth-level civilization at most."
"If we take another big step forward, we can catch up with the green grass." This is the latest conclusion reached by mankind.
