Chapter 33 Reproach
"I don't know what this means. I once asked the gods, but she just shook her head. She told me that even with the technological level of our tribe, many problems cannot be solved. Knowing too much will only increase troubles." Roland regretfully simulated the sigh of human beings, "So I didn't ask again. I just patrolled within my ability as the gods said, on the premise of ensuring safety, and tried to save some lost people who are similar to ours. Over the past thousand years, there has been some results. We saved some strange races in scattered ways and brought them to the body of the gods. Although the gods have been sleeping for most of the time and rarely wake up, they still have a sense of the vitality of the outside world. After sensing that we have brought back carbon-based life, she specially transformed her body and grew food and water to maintain life for carbon-based creatures, so that they can survive smoothly here."
"Do you use your own blood and flesh to nourish mortals?" Although Shur had guessed it long ago, he still glanced at Moria in secret, or rather, he glanced at Lord Anika who was hiding in Moria's soul. Even a god with such an unpredictable mind would do such a thing, which was really unexpected.
"Unfortunately, the lifespans of those carbon-based organisms are very short, and their number is not enough to maintain the continuation of civilization. Over the past thousand years, most of the rescued races have naturally perished, and only a few of the long-lived races have continued. However, due to the differences in life and cultural characteristics, everyone still lives in different locations. Occasionally, some of them have outstanding physical strength and will go out to patrol with us, but their cycle of restoring strength is much longer than ours, so we search for it ourselves most of the time."
"But over time, their number has become smaller and smaller. Now, there are only a few hundred smart creatures on this planet, except for us. In fact, some races also have the opportunity to redevelop their civilization, especially some technological races. They carry the gene bank of races. The number is not a problem, but in order not to add too much burden to the gods, they still gave up and chose to hand over the gene bank to us for custody, waiting for the opportunity to rebuild their civilization, while they themselves chose to perish."
"As for you... you should belong to the race with individual power as the main development direction. Technology is the kind that serves to enhance individual power. Sure enough, you can see that you can use your flesh and body to travel through the destruction space. Then you should be able to live well here. The gods provide you with sufficient living resources. You can choose whether to live in our city or to contact other races. If you want to contact other races, we can lead the way and introduce you."
"Then I'm not in a hurry to make a decision. Compared with those races, I'm actually more interested in the space inside the source of disaster." Shure asked expectantly, "Do you know anything about it over the past thousand years?"
"No." Roland replied without thinking, "We only follow the commands of the gods, move within the safe range, and have not explored in depth, so we have no further understanding of the destruction space."
"That's the way, what about the gods." Shur said thoughtfully, "If possible, I would like to talk to her in person, especially the words she said before. She said that this may be the only way out for thousands of worlds, and I would like to discuss it in depth with her."
"This requirement is probably not enough. The god hasn't woken up for three hundred years. I don't know when it will be when I wake up next time." Roland dissuaded, "I don't know how long your life will last, but I don't think there is a chance to wait until the god wakes up before your life spans."
"Ha, whether there is a chance is actually depends on your thoughts. The gods may be sleeping, but I think you, as one of the first believers who followed and believed in her, should have a way to awaken her, that's right."
"It is not wise to awaken the gods. The gods choose to sleep in order to reduce their own consumption. Forced awakening will only accelerate the dissolution of her power and reduce the time for her to persist, so we firmly oppose awakening the gods." Roland said seriously, "And even if you ask, the answer she gave may be the same as what she gave us. I think maybe she is right, just like this destructive space, we can do nothing, and you are the same, so what can you do even if you get the answer?"
Xiuer did not speak anymore, but his face became gloomy and his eyes stared at the metal living body on the screen. Under Xiuer's stare, the metal living body that had lived for tens of thousands of years actually felt at a loss. His body even subconsciously leaned back, and the golden light on his head did not even dare to touch Xiuer's gaze.
"If it were your brother, you would never say such words." After staring at him for a long time, Shuer sighed deeply, shook his head slowly, and said softly, "Haha, maybe it was because of the memory exchange, and it was somewhat affected by emotions. When I heard you say this, I was really sad for him."
Roland let out a low buzz, as if muttering to himself.
"Do you know, Roland, I thought a lot when you just talked to me." Shuer ignored Roland's reaction and said to himself, and said with his fingers rhythmically on the mace at his waist. "I have been thinking about why you should say these things to us aliens who have first met. I have even considered whether it was this thing that has been suppressed in your heart for thousands of years. You urgently need to vent your emotions, so you choose two of us who are unrelated outsiders to talk to you. After you vent your vent, you will find a way to kill us two people who know the secrets in your heart."
"Impossible." Roland's head subconsciously rotated, "How could I..."
"I already know that I misunderstood you, you can't do such a thing." Shure said with a smile, "If you can do this, I will pay more attention to you, because no matter what kind of character, you at least have courage, but now... to be honest, Roland, I look down on you very much. Do you know why? Because thousands of years have passed, you have not changed at all. Even if you know that your brother has sacrificed heroically, even if you see the gods protect you with their bodies and use their flesh to support your life, you still have not changed. For thousands of years, you have never grown up, not at all. Just like thousands of years, you are still the timid and afraid of things."
The criticism was quite severe. Not only did the various geometric figures of the metal living bodies on the screen tremble at distances, but even the city under her feet was trembling slightly, but Roland did not refute a word.
"Why don't you refute it, Roland, because you know it in your heart, I'm not wrong at all." Shure smiled sarcastically and his tone was full of mockery, "Don't want to face the insignificance in his heart? It doesn't matter. If you don't want to say it, then I'll tell you, Roland, have you really considered the future?"
Silence, clearly having a huge city-like body, Roland instinctively retreated for a while, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Haha, you should know that the gods may protect you for a while, but they cannot protect you forever. She said she would not die, but from the sleeping state of hundreds of years, I don't believe you can't see that she is actually no different from dying. Everything she does is to protect you. It can be said that you can survive all depends on her sacrifice." Shuer sneered, "But what have you done? You are parasitizing on her with peace of mind, and you are aimless wasteful people.
You have never even considered the time you have won you. If she can't hold on one day, will you die, let alone considering the issue of changing the status quo. Haha, you are glaring at me, right, I can see that, it's not bad, at least you still have the courage to glar at me, a little better than just now. The question is what you glared at me and thought I was wrong, you have considered changing the status quo? OK, then tell me, from the moment she turned into a planet, has your position changed, even if it's one meter away?"
"No, right, hahaha, with your body shape and motivation, if you concentrate your strength, you can completely pull her to move for a distance. When your strength is insufficient, you will retreat to her body to rest and then continue to move. Although this is slow, it can move far away for more than a thousand years. During this period, you may find an exit from this space. This is also your only opportunity, but have you done it? No. Why didn't you do it? Didn't you think of it? No, but you don't know how to make your own decisions. In the past, you handed over the burden of making decisions to your brother, and then you threw this courage to the gods. You didn't even have the courage to make your own decisions. Sorry, I said it wrong. There was once, ha, isn't it ironic? The only time you decide your own destiny was to escape in the face of the battle."
"Why am I sure that you can't tell us, and then turn around and kill us? Because you don't have the courage and courage to do this at all. You talk to me because I have exchanged memories with your brother. You subconsciously treat me as your brother, crying to your brother like in the past, hoping to get comfort from your brother, and then he will carry everything you should bear. That's why I said, I look down on you, Roland, your brother forgives your cowardice and entrusts you with the remaining tribe members, just hope that you can grow up and be like a real leader, and that's how you repay his tolerance and entrust?"
"You don't want me to awaken the gods, nor are you the reasons you said. I once suspected that you would worry that you have nowhere to stay when God wakes up, so even if it helps her, you should stop her from waking up. If this is true, although you are inhumane, at least you are a qualified leader. Unfortunately, it is not the reason. Hahaha, you don't want to wake her up, just because after she wakes up, you don't have the courage to do your best to repay her favor, and you don't know how to face the possible changes in the future. You would rather live in a daze, spend one day, than make up your mind to make a change, and would rather watch her sleep like death than find a way to save her."
