Chapter 444: The Carrier of Life Inheritance (8,200-word chapter)

Listening to Feng Qi's gentle narration of his experiences, Mu Qi's expression gradually changed from indifference at the beginning to seriousness, and he nodded in affirmation from time to time.

Time passed by.

In the polar night environment of the northern border, it was impossible to distinguish between day and night, and no one knew how much time had passed.

During the narration, Feng Qi also followed the memory scenes and fell into memories, deeply immersed in them.

When he finished his narration, a tear slid down from the corner of his eye.

When he came to his senses, he found that Mu Qi was already standing beside him, rubbing his head with a smile:

"Qizai, you have worked hard."

Reaching out to push away Mu Qi's left hand, Feng Qi, who had already escaped from the ocean of emotions, couldn't help rolling his eyes.

He chose this path himself, and he didn't need the pity and heartache of others.

He then said:

"Mu Yue, it's my turn to ask now."

Hearing this, Mu Yue nodded vigorously, sat down at the opposite side of the table, and began to eat with big mouthfuls, then said:

"Ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"What is your identity?"

"Your guess is right. My situation is very similar to that of Fatty Mo Yue. He is the clone created by Mo Yue's consciousness, and I am the clone created by the Sun's consciousness. We walk in the world in this way."

After hearing Mu Yue's answer, Feng Qi fell silent.

Through the information collected from the previous timeline, he and the Lord of Mist analyzed Mo's identity and origin, and had a general guess about Mu Yue's origin, so Mu Yue's answer did not surprise him.

He then continued to ask:

"I still don't understand one thing. Why do you want to build the Tongtian Road and send the most promising warriors among humans there? Doing so can certainly create a way to block the invasion of the domain world, but the current situation of mankind is getting worse, especially after 1500 years. The existence of the Tongtian Road is meaningless to humans. It is better to let those warriors retreat to the human world... For example, build a human city similar to Star City, and have the strong men on the Tongtian Road guard this city. In this way, humans can have more room for growth, and perhaps they can grow into a force that is not inferior to the super-powerful race."

Faced with the inquiry, Mu Yu first took a sip of the wine glass on the table, with an intoxicated look on his face, and then explained:

"Building the Tongtian Road is more to delay the time of being invaded by the domain world."

"In the face of the great trend, the racial forces in the domain world want to continue to survive. The only way is to invade the human world, so they will choose to invade the human world no matter what. The power of the human world cannot compete with the domain world at all, so the Tongtian Road can only temporarily slow down the speed of the invasion, but cannot completely stop the invasion."

"So why does the Tongtian Road exist? Shouldn't the best choice be to tighten the human position and let these Tongtian warriors guard the position to buy time for human development?" Feng Qi frowned. "

How can it be said that if there is no Tongtian Road to buy time for human beings, human civilization will not usher in the stable development years gained by holding on to the position, but a hopeless future. It may last for hundreds of years, but the future will eventually perish." "

What do you mean?" Feng Qi said solemnly.

"For example, the human world and the domain world are like two adjacent walls, one side is dyed red and the other side is dyed gold. When the red wall is about to collapse, the red side begins to move its position in order to survive and chooses to invade the gold side. Every time the red occupies an area of ​​the gold wall, the gold on it will turn red. The final outcome is that the gold disappears completely and the world turns red, which means that the domain world completely devours the human world and replaces the human world." "

So the Tongtian Road was built just because you, as the incarnation of the sun consciousness, don't want to be devoured by the domain world?"

After hearing Mu Yu's answer, a doubt in Feng Qi's heart was solved.

He had learned from the intelligence of the Silver Moon Clan that there were advantages for the domain forces to choose to carry the domain field to descend into the human world, but it was also the most risky move.

Yin Ling had told Lin Ran that there was a group of extremely powerful roadblockers on the Tongtian Road. They seemed to have the ability to sense the domain field. If they were lucky, the Silver Moon Clan could carry the domain field through, but if they were unlucky, there would be a crisis of extinction.

The Silver Moon Clan, who did not want their people to take risks, chose to reduce the risk. After the pioneer warriors such as Yin Ling determined that they could adapt to the environment of the human world, they resolutely chose to abandon the domain field of the clan and descend directly.

When he learned the news at that time, he was very confused.

He did not understand why the difference in the degree of risk exposure between carrying the domain field and descending directly was so huge.

Now after listening to Mu Yu's explanation, his doubts were solved.

This was obviously related to Mu Yu. Carrying the domain field to descend was like bringing a piece of territory that could be dyed. After entering the human world, it would devour a piece of space in the human world. With the expansion and spread of the domain field, the devouring would continue, which would cause great harm to Mu Yu, who was a consciousness in the human world.

So in order to prevent this possibility from happening, Mu Yu built the Tongtian Road and took the lead in targeting those domain forces that came with the domain field.

"Do you think I am selfish?" Mu Yu asked with a smile.

"Maybe... you have a reason to do this?" Feng Qi did not say it for sure, because he had seen Mu Yu's memory, so he knew that Mu Yu always had good intentions for humans.

"Well, if my body falls, even if human civilization still exists, it will have no room for development and will eventually usher in its demise. It is impossible to grow to a strength that is strong enough to compete with the top tribes in the domain."

"Why?"

"Humans are lives born under the law of the sun. They can only be compatible with the rules of the domain world at most, but they cannot really integrate... If the domain world completely devours the human world, even if humans still have a place in the world, all existing cultivation systems will be overturned for the most part, and all efforts will fail. They can only find another way to find a cultivation method that is more compatible with the domain world and abandon the existing cultivation system."

Hearing this, Feng Qi was shocked.

He suddenly thought of the first few timelines and a piece of information he learned.

When he investigated the dark period created by the Dawn Army, he found several important key information. The first key information: Mu Qing formed the Dawn Army, betrayed humanity, and chose to be the enemy of humanity.     The second key information: Mu Qing led the Dawn Army to massacre the city, causing great suffering

to the people ...

The third key information is that Mu Qing began to vigorously promote the Rune Transformation Plan, picking up the project that the Scarlet Research Institute also planned to gradually abandon. In the future, a large number of Rune Warriors were born in the Dawn Army.

...

Combined with Mu Qing's explanation just now, he suddenly understood why Mu Qing would vigorously promote the Rune Transformation Plan in the future.

Obviously, Mu Qing learned the truth through Mu Qing.

He felt that since the final destination of the existing cultivation system was to become nothing, if humans wanted to be compatible with the rules of the domain world, only the ultimate project of the Scarlet Research Institute, the "Rune Transformation Plan", would transform humans into a life form close to the domain creatures.

And Mu Qing was also one of the experimental subjects of the Rune Transformation Plan.

Now that I think about it, Mu Qing was looking for a feasible new way out for humans at that time, not as described in history, in order to create more evil warriors, so she promoted the Rune Transformation Plan.

Coming back to his senses, he looked up at Mu Qing, who was enjoying his meal.

If Mu Qing's explanation was the truth, the future of mankind was obviously closely related to Mu Qing's body "Sun".

And they all prospered together and suffered together.

Just like the main crystal bases of both sides in the confrontation mode of the Dawn game.

This also explains why the Tongtian Road is so important.

The significance of the existence of the Tongtian Road is to resist the speed of the invasion of the domain forces, and at the same time give humans a breathing space for development. During this period, humans can vigorously develop the most suitable growth path for themselves.

At that time, Mu Qing obviously anticipated the worst possible situation.

In order to deal with the worst situation, he and Mu Qing launched a plan to promote the further development of the rune transformation plan.

Thinking of this, he looked at Mu Qing and continued to ask:

"I understand the significance of the existence of Tongtian Road, but what I don't understand is why you don't leave some strong people for humans, but send them all to Tongtian Road, resulting in serious loss of the rear."

Hearing this, Mu Qing, who was eating, suddenly fell silent.

After a long silence, she explained with a smile:

"In fact, I have trained many powerful humans, such as Ye Huang, who must exist in your history textbooks. It was they who led humans to resist the invasion of domain forces and created the five major cities today... After the turbulent period ended, humans were in a stage of rapid development, and everything was thriving. The pressure of the invasion of domain forces was reduced, but the pressure from Tongtian Road was getting greater and greater, so I sent them to Tongtian Road."

At this point, Mu Yu suddenly sighed:

"This is a dilemma. If these warriors are left in human society, they can certainly allow the human race to develop steadily in a short period of time, but this time is very short. If there is no Tongtian Road to create more time, the efforts at this time will be like a mirage. When this world is covered by the domain field, their efforts will become empty. Striving for more time is to be able to create a power system that is enough for humans to rival the domain creatures within this time."

"I also hesitated about how to make a decision, and also consulted with Ye Huang and others... At that time, human society was relatively stable. Facing external threats was certainly stressful, but it would not reach the level of civilization's demise. In contrast, the increasing number of domain forces accompanying the invasion of Tongtian Road made it increasingly difficult. The space of the human world was being eroded in large quantities. If no more forces were added, the pace of invasion would accelerate further."

"So I took away batches of miracle warriors. They carried the burden for the human race on Tongtian Road and tried to gain time for development."

After listening to Mu Yu's explanation, Feng Qi fell into deep thought, and then asked:

"You should not have returned to human society for a long time, otherwise it would be impossible to allow the five major cities to be infiltrated by domain forces."

"I have been away from the human world for a long time and have never returned during this period, so these latent domain forces succeeded." As she said this, Mu Yu couldn't help but grin, and she seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. She subconsciously waved her fist in anger.

Mu Yu's explanation made Feng Qi suddenly realize.

If Mu Yu was still there, he would definitely find some clues and would not allow domain forces to infiltrate human society.

No wonder she knows nothing now.

"Where have you been during these years?"

"To the Void World."

"Void?"

This was not the first time Feng Qi knew about the existence of the void.

He once went to the Shadow City built by the Shadow City Lord through an illusory teleportation array in a future dream line. The city was suspended in the void.

The narrator explained the void as a special space attached to the domain world and the human world. The environment inside is extremely harsh and it is not a place where ordinary flesh and blood creatures can survive.

The reason why the Shadow City can exist in the void is also thanks to the space barrier protection layer built by the Shadow City Lord at a huge cost of resources.

What Feng Qi was curious about was what Mu Yu had done during the years he disappeared?

Thinking of this, he immediately asked:

"Mu Xi, why did you go to the void world?"

"There is a broken floating island in the void world. There are many things left by the life of the last era. It is also the place where I know the truth of the world. As a result, I was trapped on that island and was not freed until now."

"The last era?" Feng Qi was stunned:

"Are you referring to the era where the Pillar God is?"

Mu Xi swallowed the food in his mouth, and then nodded solemnly:

"Yes, it is very likely that it is a historical relic left by the era where the Pillar God is. I learned a lot about the truth of this world there."

"Have you never come into contact with the Pillar God?"

"How could I have come into contact with it? That was a super strong man from the last era, or even several eras ago. I was born in this era, so of course I have never come into contact with the Pillar God." Hearing

this, Feng Qi was a little confused.

He originally wanted to ask Mu Xi about the information of the Pillar God, but he didn't expect that Mu Xi didn't know the Pillar God either.

"Then do you know the origin of the miracle item?"

The origin of the miracle item was one of the doubts that always troubled him.

If Mu Yu couldn't give him an answer, he really didn't know where to look for the truth.

"I found some incomplete information fragments on that relic island, and I can roughly piece together some answers. The miracle item should be a relic left by the life of the Pillar God Era to the life of this era."

Hearing that Mu Yu knew this information, Feng Qi immediately became excited and asked:

"Tell me more about it."

Mu Yu did not explain this question. While eating, he puffed his cheeks and said:

"In fact, I am the same as you. I have also doubted whether this world is a game or a real world, because many of the settings of this world are very similar to many online games developed by humans before the catastrophe."

"What puzzles me most is what kind of existence the domain world and the human world are, but I found the answer in online games... If you have played online games, you will find that the settings of the domain world and the human world are very similar to games."

After a long pause, Mu Yu continued:

"The human world is like the player's main world, and the domain world is like the player's strategy world, which can also be called the copy world, so the world there is divided into different small worlds, just like the copies of different difficulties in the game, each copy has different races, and different resources can be produced after the strategy."

Hearing this, Feng Qi couldn't help frowning.

He doubted the authenticity of this world because of the many functions of the miracle items.

Hearing what Mu Yu said, he suddenly felt that the probability of this world being a game was even greater. The domain world was just like what Mu Yu said, just like a copy world in a game.

"What's your answer?"

"I don't know, but Fatty Mo Yue said he had studied the rules and principles of this world and felt that this world was most likely real."

"Are you on good terms with Mo Yue?" Feng Qi was stunned.

"We used to have a good relationship. I often went to the domain world to eat big meals, and he often came to the human world to play... until he had the idea of ​​occupying the nest and wanting to devour me."

"I found that Mo's strength is not strong. With your strength, you can definitely kill him, right?"

"I can only kill his consciousness clone. There is only one way to kill him completely, that is to defeat all the domain fields in the domain world, just like what you described 1,500 years later, Mo Yue dyed the whole world scarlet. There is only one way for him and me to die, that is to be covered."

After listening to Mu Yu's description, Feng Qi had a clearer understanding of the human world and the domain world.

Mu Yu is the consciousness clone of the sun, and Mo is the consciousness clone of Mo Yue.

They represent the human world and the domain world respectively.

But in comparison, Mu Qing's role is obviously greater than Mo Yue's.

As the incarnation of the world consciousness, Mu Qing represents the entire human world, but Mo Yue cannot completely represent the domain world. Even without Mo Yue, there are still different small worlds in the domain world, and each small world has its own consciousness and rules.

But humans cannot live without Mu Qing.

If Mu Qing falls, the rules of the human world will be completely disordered.

This is also the reason why Mu Qing said that if the domain world completely occupies the human world, then the upper limit of human growth will be suppressed and it will be impossible to open up the most suitable growth method for the human race. It

is no wonder that in history, Mu Qing set the rune transformation plan as one of the main growth routes of the Dawn Army.

This path is certainly not the first choice, but it must be there.

In case the defense line of Tongtian Road collapses, the domain world completely occupies the human world, and humans without the sun will find it difficult to find a way out.

Thinking of Tongda, he couldn't help but nod secretly.

At this moment, he still had many doubts in his heart that had not been answered. He looked at Mu Qi and continued to ask:

"Mu Qi, I once had contact with Mo in a timeline. He said that humans are the sealed vessels of the strongest. How do you interpret this sentence?"

"Oh, this is an answer that I pieced together from some of the information left there when he and I explored the ruins island."

"Tell me in detail. Any information you provide will affect my formulation of a new future line."

Mu Qi nodded:

"Mo and I learned a piece of information when we explored the ruins island. I don't know how long this information has existed. After we interpreted the remaining damaged information, we understood the general meaning."

"I heard from Mo that this piece of information should be left by those pillar gods who died inexplicably. They are looking for a way to pass on their knowledge and power to the next era, but they seem to have encountered a dilemma and don't know what method to use to preserve their traces."

"I don't understand." Feng Qi looked puzzled.

"For example, if you want to preserve a piece of information and pass it on to your grandson, what method would you choose?"

"The way I record information is a notebook." Feng Qi answered decisively.

"Your method is correct, but how much can be recorded in a notebook? The knowledge of the Pillar Gods is so vast that even if all the paper in the world is added together, it is not enough to record it. What's more difficult is that even if it can be recorded on paper, how long can this knowledge be preserved? Don't forget that paper will be corroded."

"In addition to paper, the most advanced recording methods of mankind are almost ineffective in the face of time. Hard drives, databases, and even words engraved on stones. These methods may be able to record information for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years... but the time can be extended to 100 million years, 1 billion years, or 10 billion years. All the means that humans can use for recording will be reduced to ashes, and there will be no traces of humans in the distant future. Everything will be annihilated by the corrosion of time... Even as strong as the Pillar Gods, they cannot find an information recording carrier that can truly resist the corrosion of time."

Hearing this, Feng Qi was puzzled:

"I don't understand, what does this have to do with us humans?"

"Of course it is related. Mo and I's discovery can prove that humans were originally created by the Pillar Gods, and are very likely the continuation of the Pillar Gods' lives, or the carrier of the Pillar Gods' power and knowledge."

Noticing that Feng Qi's expression was gradually becoming confused, Mu Yu continued to explain:

"When the Pillar God was studying how to store knowledge and power, he found that only one thing can truly resist the corrosion of time, and that is life inheritance."

"To explain in words you can understand, 1 gram of DNA can store 455EB of information, so the amount of information that human DNA can store is very large. At the same time, DNA can also copy and pass on the stored information to the next generation, allowing the next generation to continue to retain the information, and then pass it on to the next generation... This is a kind of life inheritance relay, and each inheritance is a new life."

After listening to Mu Yu's explanation, Feng Qi was stunned:

"Even if DNA can be inherited by the next generation, it will change. After multiple generations of inheritance, the original information of the gene should be disrupted. Wouldn't the information stored by relying on life inheritance be disordered?"

“The recombination and change of genes does not mean that information will be lost. It’s like those electronic locks that change passwords at regular intervals. The change of the surface password does not mean that the internal storage will change. Even if it does change, the original information can be restored by reversing the change process. There are many ways to do that.”

“You can understand it this way. The Pillar Gods are about to fall for some reason, but they hope to pass on power and knowledge to the new era in the future, so they created humans who can carry knowledge and power. In order to ensure that this information is not lost, they set up many complex protection mechanisms. For example, humans’ instinctive desire to reproduce may be one of the settings.”

“Along with the process of reproduction, the carriers of knowledge and power are constantly dispersed, resulting in some humans coming with miracles, while some humans do not come with miracle items.”

After listening to Mu Yu’s explanation, Feng Qi gradually understood why Mo called humans sealed vessels.

"Are there any other information?"

"Yes, Mo once speculated that humans may be another form of life continuation of the Pillar Gods. The Pillar Gods knew that they could not escape the crushing of the general trend, so they stored their information in the substance that you humans call RNA, passed it to the next era, and finally evolved into the current human appearance, trying to avoid the final crisis."

After listening to Mu's explanation, Feng Qi suddenly understood one thing, and he said at this time:

"So the miracle you are looking for is actually human beings themselves, right?"

"Yes, Mo and I have developed a method that can activate the mysterious power hidden in the human body, but this method is not effective for all humans. Only those who have shown some of their ability characteristics can activate the mysterious power in their bodies through my method."

Mu's explanation solved a doubt that had always lingered in his mind.

It turned out that Tianshu, Ye Huang, Wei Wei...they themselves were in a state of semi-activated potential, and Mu just played a role in fueling the flames, which explained why Mu was always looking for miracles instead of creating miracle warriors.

Thinking of this, new doubts emerged in his mind.

"What are those miracle items? Are they the special powers that have been stripped from the human body?"

Faced with the question, Mu nodded and shook his head:

"I don't know. When I was born, humans and miracle items already existed. According to the information I found on the ruins island, many pillar gods' powers have not been retained. Perhaps it is these pillar gods who have not obtained the qualification to inherit that have materialized their own powers and turned them into miracle items, which has caused most of the miracle items to break and split under the corrosion of time. As long as time is long enough, these miracle items will eventually become nothingness and become part of the world structure."

Mu's explanation made Feng Qi fall into deep thought.

It can be seen that much of the information Mu learned was only speculation based on limited clues.

But what is the specific truth, even Mu can't give a definite guarantee.

After all, Mu was born in this era, but the pillar gods are the lives of the last era.

From the moment Mu was born, miracle items already existed. She and Mo are also seekers of the truth of the world.

At this time, he suddenly thought of the Lord of Mist.

There is also a miracle item in the Lord of Mist, which has been passed down through blood.

Even the Lord of Mist himself did not know that there was a divine artifact hidden in his blood. But

what puzzled him was why the Lord of Mist's ancestor could obtain that part of the information by licking the blood left by the Pillar God.

Thinking of this, he immediately told Mu Yu about his doubts.

Facing the inquiry, Mu Yu looked thoughtful, and then said:

"In fact, most of the miracle items outside are in a damaged state. The very few that are not damaged may have withstood the corrosion of time... After all, the Pillar God certainly did not expect when the new era would be born. It must be preserved as long as possible. Life inheritance is the safest way. Other miracle items are left to be corroded by time. Perhaps they can be preserved until the new era, or they may dissipate under the corrosion of time."

Feng Qi nodded when he heard this.

Mu Yu's analysis is not unreasonable.

Perhaps the miracle items in the outside world are the power and knowledge given up by the Pillar God. Let this part of power and knowledge be corroded by time. Whether it can be preserved until the next era depends on fate.

This may be the truth that most of the nearly indestructible miracle items are incomplete.

Feng Qi did not think about this question any further. He looked at Mu Qi and continued to ask:

"Do you know how you were born?"

"I don't know. When I was born, I found myself floating in the human world. At that time, primitive humans already existed in this world. Mo was the first friend I met when I was exploring the world. He was as confused about his origins as I was. We both doubted whether we were also special consciousnesses created by the Pillar God."

"Why do you say that?"

"Mo and I analyzed a fragmented message on the Miracle Island. It probably means this: our continuation will re-challenge in another form."

"My understanding of this sentence is that the Pillar Gods knew they would die, but they did not choose to succumb to the unknown. They planned to leave their power and knowledge to the next era in the form of inheritance, so that the new era life that has mastered their power can re-challenge the unknown and try to defeat the unknown."

Feng Qi nodded at this time:

"The unknown you are talking about should refer to the advent of the great trend, right?"

"Mo and I think so too. We think that the Pillar God may have challenged the advent of the great trend before our era appeared, and failed, so he left many inheritances to the heirs of the new era. Mo and I are likely to be the inheritance left by the Pillar God for the life of the new era."

"Even the Pillar God can't escape the advent of the great trend. Can we really compete with it?"

"We should lose, but we shouldn't sit and wait for death. We must learn to resist." Mu Xi's face showed a bright smile. He stuffed the chicken leg in his hand into his mouth, closed his mouth and pulled it hard to pull out the bone.

Looking at Mu Xi's infectious smile on his face, Feng Qi also smiled:

"Yes, I will never give in even if I fail."

As they smiled at each other, they resonated in their hearts.

He found that Mu Xi was the same kind of person as him. The only difference was that Mu Xi always had a heartless and optimistic attitude.

"Any other questions?" Mu Xi asked curiously at this time.

"Of course... By the way, can you extend my life?"

"Well, it seems that it is not possible. Wei Wei has a long life because of her inherent potential, not because I gave her a long life directly, so... you know."

"Why don't you take a look at whether there is any hidden potential in you. Maybe my genes contain the power and knowledge of a certain pillar god, and after activation, I can also gain a long life like Sister Wei and Tianshu."

"I just observed carefully, you are very ordinary, not a potential person, give up."

Feng Qi: ...

Facing Mu Qing's denial, Feng Qi sighed in his heart, knowing that he could not escape death after all.

He no longer thought about this problem and decided to continue to learn more intelligence information from Mu Qing. He still has a lot of questions that have not been answered.

"Mu Qing, what is the origin of the scarlet rune crystal on Mu Qing's body?"

"Who is Mu Qing?" Mu Qing was stunned.

"Do you remember that you once gave a scarlet rune crystal to the first dean of the Scarlet Research Institute? In order to find the adaptor of this rune crystal, the Scarlet Research Institute has conducted countless experiments. It has spent hundreds of years searching since the establishment of the Scarlet Research Institute. Mu Qing is the only scarlet adaptor and the current owner of the scarlet rune crystal."

Hearing this, Mu Qing stood up suddenly with his eyes shining:

"There is an adaptor for the scarlet rune crystal?"

"Yes, it has appeared... So, what is the origin of this rune crystal?"

QVQ I will continue with two chapters in one tomorrow~ I have really been working hard on typing.
