Screaming Cycle

As high-dimensional spiritual bodies, when they "look down" on another dimension of the universe, the laws of time and space they follow are very different from the common sense that Ji Tuan understands.

It's just that these rules are too abstract to explain. Poor Ji Xiaoniao can hear it in the cloud, and finally understands it.

To be a metaphor, the time elapsed in the universe in which Ji Yu and the others live, to the high-dimensional life form, is like a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains hanging in the Palace Museum, while the spiritual body is like viewing flowers through the glass. Tourists, as long as they walk back, they can "retrace" the past and watch the past.

But the behavior of the mental body going back to the past also consumes energy.

In theory, as long as the energy allows, the spiritual body can even see the singularity of the birth of the universe.

But in fact, this behavior is quite energy-consuming, and even if you look back in time and space, the spiritual body can only stay in a high dimension and be a bystander, and cannot directly exert any influence on the established history.

--Oh.

Ji Lu thought to himself, it's like watching a suspense movie. Although you can drag the progress bar to replay the clips of the heroine being knifed behind the back, you can't jump into the movie and pull him out before the murderer kills the girl.

[Exactly. 】

The resonance of the spiritual bodies rang out one after another.

For them, the biggest regret is that although they have a longer life and a more efficient way of communication, they have become a new and advanced life form that transcends the shackles of the physical body, but still can't escape the crisis of genocide.

Looking back in time and space, they can only observe the history of the home planet time and time again, seeing how a prosperous, powerful, and prosperous civilization has come to an end, but they can't do anything about it.

[So, we created the "Peach Blossom Spring". 】

Hearing that they finally came to the point, Ji Lu suddenly brightened his eyes, and he listened intently.

The spirits told Ji Lu that, strictly speaking, the "Peach Blossom Spring" was not created by them, but a different space designed and manufactured by another civilization.

When the spiritual bodies realize that the entire ethnic group will eventually perish, their once brilliant culture, esoteric knowledge, advanced technology, and glorious history accumulated over hundreds of millions of years, even the traces of their race’s existence will be obliterated. When on the Death Star, a very complicated and difficult plan was decided.

They cannot modify history in a high-level dimension, so hire a group of people who can do this.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the different ways of communication and empathy in the spirit body, just using the mouth, if you want all the staff to reach a consensus, you will have to be like the United Nations meeting. Hundreds of years.

In this plan, they will search for countless planets in countless universes, and select civilizations that meet their requirements as the executors of their plan.

The codename given to these executors by the spirits is "inspector."

A civilization that can become an "inspector" must have a relatively high level of science and technology, and have a preliminary grasp of the methods of contact with high-dimensional organisms, but it is slightly inferior to the knowledge possessed by the spiritual body, and it must be ambitious and aggressive. There is a strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity.

In the end, the spiritual bodies screened out three civilizations that were eligible to become "monitors." After a long period of contact, they finally finalized one of them and launched the plan code-named "Subplane Cage".

The "monitor" civilization has gained a lot of advanced knowledge from high-latitude creatures, and in exchange, created a closed semi-plane, ready to house a "cage" for breeding and training "mercenaries".

While the "monitor" is making the "cage", the spiritual bodies begin to cultivate a civilization that is very similar to the parent star.

They chose the earth in the vast universe.

This is because no matter its relative position in the star system, temperature and atmospheric composition, species form or even the proportion of land and sea area, this planet is nine times similar to the parent stars of the spiritual bodies.

Then, the spiritual bodies let the "monitoring" civilization begin to intervene in the evolutionary history of this planet.

At that time, the "monitor" civilization had obtained the space-time tunnel and wormhole transition technology from high-dimensional creatures, and formally entered the cosmic age.

They captured the late Homo sapiens who were still in a competitive disadvantage on the earth, and edited the genetic code of these primitive people according to the genetic profile given by the spiritual body, making their offspring more and more closer to the race of the spiritual body.

In the evolutionary process of Homo sapiens in tens of thousands of years, such gene editing and adjustments have been carried out many times to ensure that there will be no unplanned deviations in the evolutionary process, and finally modern humans have become the masters of the earth, and at the same time It has also become a 99.98% similarity to the racial genetic sequence of the spiritual body.

Ji Shu: "..."

When I heard this, Little Bird's mood was very complicated.

He had a thousand words and didn't know where to start, and in the end he could only sigh for a long time.

No wonder these "people" would claim to be the ancestors of mankind, co-authors and even the evolution of mankind were completed under their control!

——Do you want to reproduce your civilization on earth by doing this?

Ji Shu asked.

[No, not so. 】

He heard countless negative answers.

The spirits told Ji Xiaoniao that it was too difficult to copy a civilization from scratch, or it should be said that it was an impossible task at all.

Because there will be too many disagreements in the course of history, every seemingly small and inadvertent change is a butterfly flapping its wings, and the effect of it is incalculable.

Especially when the number of intelligent life on this planet reaches a certain base number, everything will become uncontrollable.

——As you have experienced, all kinds of "worlds" are the same.

Although there are "people" in the "worlds" that Ji Lu has been to, each "world" has its own characteristics.

The spiritual bodies told him that these "worlds" exist in different parallel universes, and in a sense, they represent the differences in civilization evolution and countless possibilities.

Ji Xiaoniao thought for a while and nodded.

He seemed to understand the meaning of the spirits a little bit.

——It is precisely because you cannot fully replicate a civilization that you chose "some people", right?

This time, Ji Lu heard a positive answer.

In fact, every time the "monitor" civilization opens a high-dimensional space-time channel, or maintains the stability of the subspace as a "cage", it consumes a lot of energy.

The source of these energy can only be supplied by the spirit bodies, which is equivalent to accelerating the burning of the lives of their entire ethnic group, making all members of them go to extinction faster.

The reason why Ji Tuan saw so many "dead" yellow energy bodies is precisely for this reason.

For the spirits, the successful evolution of the late Homo sapiens into modern humans, and then to the current level of technology, has almost reached the limit that the entire ethnic group can bear. Next, it is time to start the "subplane cage" The second step.

The "monitor" began to collect the humans on the earth and "raised" them in a "cage".

However, the "monitor" does not just grab people from the earth.

The humans they select must carry genes that can excite supernatural powers, so that they can "train" the fighters the spiritual body needs.

In addition, the "monitor" civilization is limited by their ethical principles and can only choose those who are unfortunately about to suffer "death"-it's just that the cause of these people's "death" is a bit strange, or will it involve innocent people? The masses are completely out of the concern of the "monitors".

Hearing this, Ji Yu took a deep breath.

He thought of the derailment accident of the maglev railcar he had experienced, and his anger spontaneously arose.

——What kind of weird ethics is this! ?

No wonder weird accidents are always very frequent for a period of time, dare to believe that many of them are made by "monitors" in order to collect samples!

How unjustly other people died, there are my coaches, team doctors and teammates in the car!

Feeling the raging anger of Ji Xiaoniao, the tentacles of the spiritual bodies tremble a bit.

But they bit the bullet and went on.

Those who were selected were "participants" like Ji Lu.

The “monitor” will open the space-time channel, and before the “participants” die, they will be taken into the “cage” located in the subspace—that is, the “Peach Blossom Spring”.

Here, the fatal injuries of the "participants" will be completely healed by sophisticated medical technology, and then they will be dropped into a "world" of F grade difficulty, where they will undergo the first test.

Those who are not smart enough, too weak, or simply unlucky seedlings will be eliminated mercilessly.

After that, it was gradually "raising".

The spirits will review the history of various civilizations in countless parallel universes, cut out the “challenges” they consider appropriate, set the time and space coordinates, and divide them into five levels of F, B, A, S, and SS according to the difficulty, and provide opening The energy of the space-time tunnel allows the “monitor” to send the “participants” one by one into a certain “world”.

"Participants" will gradually grow and become stronger in the continuous strengthening and experience, until they break through the "SS" level of difficulty, which means that they have met the requirements of the spiritual body.

Ji Shu: "..."

He silently reminded himself that he must remain calm and never get angry, but the fingertips of the raised hand are still trembling slightly with emotion.

——Didn’t you already master the technology of gene editing?

Because he was too angry, Ji Xiaoniao simply opened his mouth and shouted:

"Since you want the strong so much, you can just get a group of people out according to your own genetic template! Why do you want to torture us!?"

【……】

At the same time as this sentence was uttered, all the chaotic and noisy voices in Ji Lu's mind had stopped.

The networks of the spiritual bodies are surprisingly quiet at this moment.

Deathly silence.

After a full two seconds, a "person" finally answered:

[...Do you think we haven't tried it? 】
