Alien Knights

Hearing the words of "Crystal Suspension", Todd's first reaction was that the other party was lying: "Let's not talk about the different world I am in now. But how could my previous life, the earth, be created by you?! From the most primitive single-celled organisms, to the conversion of marine and terrestrial organisms, and finally to the generation of Homo sapiens, we are the product of millions of years of nature!"

The crystals in the air shone with a faint red light under the smooth surface, and the voice rang directly in Todd's mind: "For "Crystal Inn", time has no meaning, and space loses all value. Changing the laws of nature and physics, in our opinion, is like pushing down children's building blocks, simple and boring."

"We created low-dimensional spaces one by one, and selected a planet in the universe of each low-dimensional space as the host of life." The body of the "Crystal Mansion" gradually brightened, and the gray fog switched to a vast galaxy: "Take your favorite experiment as an example. On our "experiment table", a "petri dish" is a universe; each "sample" in the container is a planet with life; and you creatures are insignificant individuals in the "sample"."

Todd rubbed his forehead with his hands: "You mean, the planet we exist is the sample you observe? Our universe is the experimental space you created? Our beings are the objects you observe?"

"Crystal Mansion" shifted its direction in the air, and a water-blue planet appeared in the background: "I know you are doubting. Take your previous life—the earth as an example. In order to ensure the uniqueness and non-interference of the samples in the petri dish, we will not place two kinds of life forms in one universe. This is why the earth still cannot find intelligent life in the universe after so many years of observation. Of course, when the experiment reaches a certain stage, we will also bend and refract the two spaces to bridge the dimensions."

"Look at your present life again. This world is similar to the previous life. We arranged the emergence and change of species, and used the dimensional space of the earth as a blueprint to adjust the history, characters and events. Its existence is like two "petri dishes" under similar conditions. A comparison and reference experiment is conducted to find different discrete parameters of the evolution chain of the same species."

"Jing Su" said here, closer the inverted triangle closer to some Todd, as if you were looking at, "But your appearance is something outside of our plan. Because the two low -dimensional spaces have a gravitational circulation, your consciousness and memory have entered the world in the form of gravitational waves. Some members of us, after learning about this incident, considers the same accident before and worry about" like the same accident and worry This "is contaminated and proposed to reset the" cultivatt ". But after that, your performance and achievements have made us determine and continue to experiment."

Todd's mind was in a mess: "Performance and grades? I don't know what you're talking about?! Why do you do this? Treat lifeforms of different races as experiments, and keep them in different dimensions for entertainment?"

"Your language and expression system are too rudimentary. I can't answer this question in a way that you can fully understand. To describe it in words that are closest to the answer, the reason why "Crystal Residence" cultivates different lives independently in different dimensional spaces is to maintain the evolutionary chain of species and the diversity of life."

The answer from the crystal made Todd still puzzled, and the latter asked again: "I don't understand your explanation. Why do you cultivate intelligent life forms like this? Aren't you afraid that these lives will grow up in the future, threaten or even escape your control?"

The "Crystal Mansion" is slightly tilted, and the light under its body surface is flickering regularly. It seems to be very "interested" in this question: "I have heard about the philosophy of the people on earth about race wars. You think that all threats should be nip in the bud. From your logic, this may be correct. But from the standpoint of your thinking, in our opinion, there are three misunderstandings. First, you think that all resources are limited. Conquering with limited resources..."

The picture changes again, countless cosmic spaces are rotating and expanding, extending infinitely in all directions.

"Jingsu" continued: "But the actual situation is that once life species master the ability to modify the laws of the universe, you will find that fighting is the foolishness of fools. The infinite time and space make all competition meaningless. Territory, resources, and population are meaningless numbers. The evolution and integrity of creatures is the ultimate goal of the race. I use a metaphor to describe the difference between you and us. Keep your eyes behind you, only see the starting line you just left, and always think of ways to stumble those who are behind."

"Secondly, the cost of launching a war is too high. Let me take the earth as an example. Before the Second World War, the scale and number of wars you waged were much higher than after the World War. The reason, you should be very clear, is the birth of nuclear weapons. Among countries with nuclear weapons, any strategic move involving fundamental interests may lead to the end of all life forms. The same is true for us. If the scale of dimensional wars between "Crystal Mansion" and other races escalates, some weapons can cause the collapse of multidimensional space. or even more catastrophic consequences."

The light of "Constellation" is brighter: "At the same time, due to the diplomacy and restraint among intelligent life races, if those high-level intelligent bodies use destructive weapons to attack or even eliminate low-level life forms, they will be recognized as warlike and brutal races. When they cooperate and share among races, they will also be targeted and rejected."

"The third reason why we don't eliminate low-level intelligent life forms is because of our own needs."

Up to now, the longer Todd stayed in this strange space, the more his forehead became hotter and his limbs became weaker.

Crystal said: "In our dimension, materials, galaxies, and minerals are inexhaustible. The only limitation lies in our own existence. Due to the special structure of the "Crystal" species, we have the level of technological advancement, but we have lost the ability to evolve species. After endless research on life in the universe, "Crystal" discovered that low-order life forms—carbon-based life forms. , we can find ways to upgrade and complete the "Crystal Residence" structure."

Todd's eyelids became heavier and his body slowly began to become transparent.

"Crystal Inn" looked at the other party's changes, and a ray of light radiated from his body, covering Todd's figure, helping him stabilize his disappearing figure.

Waiting for Todd to regain some energy and focus again, "Jingsu" said: "Without the physical body, the gravitational waves formed by your consciousness cannot exist in this space for a long time. Next, what I want to say is very important. To make a long story short, you have become one of the candidates for the agent of "Jingsu" in this space."

Todd tried his best to control his spirit and asked, "What is an agent? What about candidates?"

"In every space we build, on the observation planet of life forms, the "Crystal Inn" will select different numbers of life forms at different evolutionary stages as agent candidates, observe their guidance and contribution to biological evolution, and finally select an agent to be the designated manager of the space."

Todd vaguely felt that this so-called agent was very similar to something he knew, and he asked with the idea of ​​trying: "Agent, does it refer to the legendary god?"

"Jingsu" responded: "Judging from the history of your previous life and present life, several agents do coincide with your legendary gods. For example, Odin, the king of gods in North Island mythology, and God, the supreme church... They were all our agents. The agent is endowed with the ability to change the world and species. In his dimensional space, he can be the creator or the god of destruction. "Crystal Suspension" will not interfere with the agent's actions."

There was a wave of fluctuation in the space, the light emitted from the crystal slowly dimmed, and Todd's figure became transparent again.

"The energy of this beacon has begun to fail, and this space will soon begin to collapse." The crystal began to slowly sink into the ground: "Remember, we will continue to pay attention to you as an agent candidate. After proving that you are superior to other candidates, we will give you the ability to manage this space dimension. As you move forward, we may meet again..."

Feeling a surge of energy pushing him back, away from the world in front of him, Todd shouted anxiously, "Wait a minute! I have so many questions to ask! Why was I chosen as a candidate? Who are the other candidates?"

The crystal completely lost its light, and the space began to disintegrate like a broken mirror. Todd's consciousness was excluded from the steeple and returned to his body.

Feeling the return of the real world, Todd opened his eyes and saw Brunhilde with an anxious face.

"Gods! You're finally awake!"

Hearing the voice of the Valkyrie, Todd shook his head, looked at the "mirror" that lost its light and looked like a slate, and asked in a low voice, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Brynhildr held Todd in his arms, shook his body, and said loudly, "fainted?! Do you know? You just lost your heartbeat and stopped breathing for a full minute!"

one minute?

It feels like a century...

Todd propped up his upper body with his arms, looked at the Valkyries around him, and sighed.

"Did you meet the gods?"

Hearing this, Todd said with a wry smile: "I didn't find the gods, but I found the origin of the world..."
