The staff member next to him explained: "Survivors who are not members of the search and rescue team do not have the qualifications to leave the dungeon easily after entering. After this pass is authorized, you can enter the dungeon in Area 17 at any time."

This was said to Lidya Su, because Jiang Qiqi had been here before.

The geological elevator began to move abnormally, descending gradually in an oblique manner. It would take some time to reach a depth of 3,000 meters underground.

Creator: "Before the apocalypse, we considered various apocalyptic disasters and extreme weather events. The underground city on the surface is more vulnerable to damage, so we chose to build the underground city at a depth of about 3,000 meters. This place is between the crust and the mantle, and its main structure is hot dry rock."

"The reason the underground cities were built in Areas 2, 8, 13, 17, 21, and 27 is because these areas are at higher altitudes. Before the apocalypse, the ground temperature in other areas, 3,000 meters below ground, was between 750 and 2,000 degrees Celsius. However, the ground temperature in these areas was only between 200 and 400 degrees Celsius. The building materials used are a chromium-nickel alloy with a melting point of around 1,300 to 1,500 degrees Celsius, and insulation materials."

"What about now?" Su Xiao asked, "I mean the ground temperature."

As she descended in depth, she didn't feel the temperature rising, but rather getting colder.

Operator: "The ground temperature is currently 0 degrees. After the Doomsday Era began, the interior of the Blue Planet suddenly died, and the temperature fluctuations disappeared."

Academician Luo, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Su, the main god body you obtained in the Great Drought game is the sun. Logically, the sun's divine source has returned to its place, so the sun shouldn't fall forever. But you have your own understanding of the game, and I wonder if we could listen to your opinion."

Su Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the eternal fall of the sun doesn't refer to the old era, but the new era."

Everyone was stunned.

Su Xiao’s statement is very novel.

"Humans are creatures of the Old Age. They need light, water, oxygen, and food to survive. But do creatures of the New Age need these things?"

Su Xiao realized this when he saw Jiang Qiqi's doomsday plant.

"Perhaps the eternal fall of the sun in the Doomsday Game refers to the fact that without a new Sun God Source, there will be no sun in the new era, and thus no plants and animals that need the sun to grow. Besides the main god's torso, the most important thing in the main god game is the Sun God Source. This means that only by returning the Sun God Source to its place can we create the environmental conditions for human growth and survival in the new era."

The divine land she saw seemed to be the top of the universe, and after the sun returned to its position, it returned to a corner of the universe, probably near the blue planet.

Currently, the conditions for the emergence of life on the blue planet are water and light. Without the sun, will life still appear on the blue planet in the next era?

Or does it mean that the creatures of the New Era must be "humans"?

Both categories, animals and plants, are definitions given by humans.

But the life that emerges in the New Era does not necessarily exist in these two biological forms.

The dependence of humans on the sun shifts to plants. Plants need photosynthesis to produce oxygen. Without the sun, there will be no oxygen for humans to survive.

Therefore, even if new creatures appear in the new era, they may not necessarily be the humans in the current era who need to rely on oxygen to survive. This may also be one of the reasons why old humans cannot survive in the new era.

The rules of the Doomsday Game require that one obtain the Sun God Source and return it to its place, so that the Lord God can create conditions for human survival in the new era.

The staff next to him recorded what Su Xiao said.

The expert, whose shirt bore the name "Academician Zhu," pushed up his glasses. "Miss Su, you just said that the doomsday plant's existence stems from the power of time. Actually, we can sense some changes after the apocalypse. Every time we go out at night, we experience subtle physiological changes. But we didn't notice them at first until a survivor arrived in the dungeon two days ago."

Lidya Su listened carefully.

"She was pregnant. Just before the apocalypse, she was diagnosed as being eighteen weeks pregnant. Just a few days after the apocalypse, her belly had grown several times larger than before. We examined her and found the fetus was also at least eighteen weeks pregnant."

Academician Zhu subconsciously brushed the white hair around his ears as he spoke. "Humanity's growth rate has accelerated since the apocalypse, but not everyone experiences this."
