"Child, don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you. On the contrary, I will do everything I can to protect you."
At this moment, Xu Xing was beginning to believe what this thing was saying.
After all, it was just too bizarre and too exaggerated.
In his memory, even those guys who broke through to level 9 back then couldn't possibly possess such an ability.
Perhaps that's the only way to think about it.
"Then... what do you need me to do?"
Xu Xing tried his best to cooperate with him.
Just then, a huge figure suddenly condensed within Xu Xing's spiritual sea of consciousness.
Xu Xing tried his best to see his face clearly.
But he was there, as if he were a being from another dimension, yet he could be sensed with the naked eye but not imagined.
First, I need to introduce myself properly, and the phantom took the initiative to speak.
"I don't know how many years ago it started, maybe hundreds of millions or billions of years ago, but life gradually came into my body, and I naturally developed consciousness."
However, at that time, I was confused and had no ability, like a robot with unchanging instructions.
I don't know how much time passed, but the life force within me grew stronger and stronger, and my spirit also grew stronger.
I don't know when, but one day, something you call a meteorite suddenly fell on me.
That was the first time I felt threatened by death; I almost lost all consciousness, but thankfully, other creatures survived.
They multiplied slowly like this, and who knows how many years passed.
You humans are finally beginning to awaken your wisdom.
It also gradually gave me the ability to think.
I will silently watch you develop.
But you've developed too fast, far too fast.
It was so fast I couldn't even react.
"So, you caused all of this?" Xu Xing interrupted him, his eyes filled with immense fear.
If we're talking about providing a reasonable explanation for this sudden apocalypse, it seems that no one has truly cared about or understood it!
It's like the scientific laws of nature; once they're there, they're there, and they've always existed!
No, this is not actually me.
You humans have developed too fast. In recent years, I have felt that message of death again, and it is even more intense than last time.
If nothing unexpected happens, my consciousness will disappear, which means the destruction of Earth.
So my body activated its automatic protection mode.
It changed the environment, it gave you special abilities, and it also brought the terrifying virus.
Upon hearing the truth, Xu Xing couldn't help but take two steps back and slump to the ground.
The amount of information was too much for him to handle.
So that's how it is. So everything has a traceable origin. So all destinies are predetermined.
Xu Xing felt a deep sense of powerlessness. After all, compared to the Earth, what was he? An ant? No, perhaps just a bacterium.
“Isn’t it you? Isn’t this exactly what you wanted to see?” Xu Xing asked.
"No, it's out of control. My body is out of control. I have at most 50 years left. After 50 years, my body will die, and all the energy in the Earth's core will be extracted."
Otherwise, what you think is the source of your energy is actually drawn from the Earth's core.
"No wonder," Xu Xing thought to himself.
Anyone who has studied physics knows that energy is conserved. However, since the catastrophe, this physical law has been broken, countless scientists have died tragically, and the Earth has entered a state of disorder.
So, the various superpowers we possess weren't created out of thin air, but rather extracted from the Earth's core?
So, if that's the case, sooner or later, the Earth will be destroyed, and no matter how powerful he becomes in the future, even if he rules the entire Earth, he will perish along with it.
"How...how can we avoid this?" Xu Xing asked tremblingly.
The phantom seemed to have known this all along, and continued, "This is why I brought you here."
Do you still remember the superpowers you possessed?
"Is it a space-based ability?" Xu Xing replied immediately.
"That's right, your special ability is a variable. It shouldn't exist in you, or rather, it shouldn't exist at all."
Whether it's wind, rain, thunder, or lightning, these are all things that can be given by their own energy. But your spatial ability is like that of an outsider, not belonging to this world.
Therefore, it can disrupt the balance and halt its self-destructive process.
The phantom's tone grew increasingly excited.
So that's how it is? No wonder Xu Xing had never heard of anyone with the same superpower as him; it turns out this is a unique ability.
“Then I should…” Xu Xing didn’t finish his sentence.
Since the start of the conversation, he has increasingly felt that the thing in front of him, whether or not it is the so-called Earth, seems to be mentally unstable.
Xu Xing tried to probe cautiously. All the previous words might have terrified and surprised him, but the words that followed...
Xu Xing only listened to half of it. As for the truth, he didn't want to know. He just wanted to live and get out of there. Even if the Earth was destined to be destroyed in the future, he would live well in the process of destruction.
"I need your help, to help me regain control of my body, or simply to return to what I used to be."
"What will happen?" Xu Xing didn't ask how to do it, but directly asked for the result.
"Naturally, all of everyone's power will be withdrawn. As for those zombies you mentioned, they will probably die immediately and turn into nutrients."
However, given that too much energy has dissipated, the Earth's oxygen content, including various active factors, will remain for hundreds or thousands of years to come.
