Chapter 774: Pangu Continent seems to be just a novice village
The Eastern Continent, the last lost land of the Eighth Era. The flames of war left a vast amount of idealistic radiation on this ancient land.
Even after an era, it has not recovered to its former vitality.
The old cat shook his head and said, "Currently, more than fifty alien civilizations have revived. This is a powerful military force."
"But as for Level 5 civilizations, they always fought on their own and were hostile to each other. They only came together at the end of the era due to the pressure of survival."
The old cat seemed a little disdainful: "There are even some old fellows who have just woken up and don't understand the situation. They want to unify the entire Pangu Continent and become the 'leader of the martial arts world' for once!"
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but be curious, "Even mythical industrialization can't conquer them?"
"Don't underestimate the ambitions of certain civilizations... Civilizations are collective forms of intelligent life, and sometimes they aren't always completely rational," Old Cat explained. "For example, if we, the Buzhou Alliance, somehow arrived in the Tenth Era and suddenly discovered that a new generation of Level 5 civilizations claimed to be stronger than us, what would you think?"
Lu Yuan understood and laughed. "I would definitely think: They are bragging. Young people don't understand the dangers of the epochal disaster. We old Dengs are the ones who are valuable. Damn, my Buzhou Alliance is the number one alliance, and we were eliminated in an instant?!"
"Even if I don't think so, other citizens of Green City will think so."
"This creates a collective will that influences the decisions of civilization. Older people always feel inexplicable hostility towards the younger generation."
"That's the truth." The old cat stroked his whiskers. "The hardest thing for people is not being able to admit that others are excellent."
"So those Level 5 civilizations have clearly been feeling a bit awkward these past few years. Aside from mythical industrialization, they've barely cooperated with the Buzhou Alliance. They're secretly harboring resentment, especially the ones who just awakened. They're particularly arrogant."
"You, Commander Lu, have a great reputation. If you go to inherit the estate, you might face some difficulties."
Lu Yuan made a surprised gesture, and even Hai Luo couldn't help laughing.
In such a huge Pangu Continent, only the old masters from the Eastern Continent have the nerve to make things difficult for Lu Yuan.
"This is a good thing, you don't understand!" Lu Yuan sighed, "These past few years I've always felt like my life has lost a little flavor, because my status is too high and no one bothers me anymore."
"Alas, wherever I go, I'm surrounded by flatterers. I can't even hear the real voices anymore."
"Just pretend!" The old cat cursed viciously, turned around and left the room.
Lu Yuan also had his own plans. It would take a year to go to the East Continent anyway, so he was not in a hurry.
He first returned to the "Qiankun Continent" with Conch to take care of various flowers and plants.
Various innate plants have fully matured and can provide a large amount of rare materials every year.
The most precious of these is the "Time-Evolving Dao Tree." It has no leaves or flowers, only nine main branches that reach upwards to the heavens. At the tops of these branches are not ordinary fruits, but nine halos of light that constantly appear and disappear, evolving into miniature universes.
In the halo, one can vaguely see a miniature of the birth of stars, the evolution of the world, and the growth and decline of all things, as if all time is condensed here.
This plant can provide materials with "time properties", which are non-renewable and extremely precious.
However, Lu Yuan has never found a way to use it...
In addition, various "innate spiritual treasures" are also about to mature.
In fact, most of the "innate spiritual treasures" are of little use to Lu Yuan, such as the "Creation Jadeite" that can open up spiritual intelligence, the "Sea-Fixing Divine Pearl" and "Wind-Fixing Divine Pearl" that can regulate the climate, the "Supreme Yang Fire" that can enhance the energy of the earth veins, and so on.
These innate objects contain special rules and are of great significance to the development of the Qiankun world. Lu Yuan just let them be and did not touch them.
But there are also some that are pure materials, such as the "Xuanhuang Crystal Stone", which contains Xuanhuang Qi! The Xuanhuang Qi contained in this Xuanhuang Crystal Stone alone may reach as many as one hundred units!
Of course, Lu Yuan couldn't find a reasonable way to use it for the time being, so he continued to nurture it.
There are also [Chaos Essence Stone], [Taiyi Black Iron], [Tianji Essence Gold], and [Infinite Colored Pearls], which have all grown from their original mung bean size to their proper proportions.
Things like Chaos Essence Stone and Taiyi Black Iron, which have grown to a mass of about 10 tons, look like ordinary meteorites.
Some other innate things are slightly smaller in size. Tianji refined gold weighs only a little more than one ton. It is said that this is the material with the strongest idealistic protection function in the world, without a doubt.
[Infinite Colored Beads] are only as big as a ping-pong ball. The properties of this thing are chaotic, just like glass beads. I don’t know what it is used for.
"If the Qiankun World can continue to grow, these things can also grow a little bit."
"If not, they are actually almost ripe."
"Do you really not know the functions of most materials?" asked the conch curiously.
There are 36 innate objects in total, but the uses of less than ten of them can be identified.
"Yeah, in fact, most items have no function at first."
"They just grow naturally, they are the embodiment of rules. Who stipulated that they must have functions?" Lu Yuan explained, "We humans have artificially given them the concept of function."
"It's like a piece of stone. What function can it have? Humans need to use it to break hard objects, make stone axes, extract minerals, and smelt metals. Thus, stone gradually acquired functions."
Lu Yuan looked at the [Infinite Colored Pearl]. It was round in shape and as smooth as glass, but it was incomparable to any other glass in the world.
When the sun shines, you can see stardust-like particles dancing slowly inside, as if pulled by an invisible force.
If placed in the dark, it will condense into a ball of warm ink color, with only a faint rainbow glow seeping out of the edges, like the corona of light that refuses to be extinguished during a total lunar eclipse.
"Why do I feel that this thing is a bit like a quantum computer..." Lu Yuan widened his eyes, watching the stardust in the bead shining regularly, but he couldn't figure out the pattern.
Bring this small bead close to the "Time-Evolving Tree", and the speed at which the stardust shines will increase rapidly.
Move away again, and the stardust flashes slower.
Looking up, he suddenly discovered that the "weaver" who had been squatting in the dark world was also looking at the small bead. His huge compound eyes gave him a shifty feeling.
Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched twice.
This guy squatted in the Yin world, taking advantage of the luck brought by the development of the Qiankun world, and weaving the [Variety of Time] by the way. He squatted there for hundreds of years!
One has to admit that this long-lived creature is very patient. Lu Yuan doesn't understand why it weaves every day but never feels bored.
Anyway, it pays some [Variety of Time] as rent every year, so just let it go.
"Do you know what this thing is used for?" Lu Yuan asked, and then lowered his expectations, "Forget it, it's better to rely on myself than on you."
The Weaver's intelligence is not very high. It just lies there, weaves, and collects treasures from the Sea of Chaos. It has grown so big but has no fighting power.
It is impossible for it to participate in the war at the end of the era.
"Wait, you're not coveting my baby, are you?"
Considering that the Weaver had a history of robbing mythical items, Lu Yuan always felt that this guy was even more greedy than himself.
The weaver made a "beep" sound, and two long antennas extended outward. Under its influence, the sky became a "big screen" with various images played on it.
Lu Yuan saw a ball of light with a diameter of about 10 kilometers, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Is this... a member of the Tower Top Civilization? No, it doesn't seem like it... Have you ever seen this thing before?"
The members of the Tower Top Civilization are like little suns.
This strange ball of light is composed of countless tiny red dots. At first glance, it seems endless, perhaps numbering in the trillions! These densely packed dots interact, twist, and distort with each other. If I had to describe it, it would resemble a giant abacus, with these tiny dots as the beads.
Countless beads rotate at the speed of light, bringing unimaginable computing power.
Lu Yuan stared at the spots of light in a daze, as if they possessed some special magic that directly attracted his attention.
The movement of photons is filled with a special kind of beauty, a beauty that comes from pure physics, without any trace of idealism.
When he came to his senses, he found that a day and a night had passed!
"It's said that the symbol of a seventh-level civilization advancing to an eighth-level civilization is using computing power as the universal currency unit... Whether it's spiritual energy or civilization points, they don't mean much. Computing power is the universal currency unit."
"Well, Xuanhuang Qi is still a precious thing. If computing power is omnipotent in the materialistic realm, then Xuanhuang Qi is also omnipotent in the idealistic realm."
"Could this thing be a quantum computer created by an advanced civilization?!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but blurt out.
The weaver made a "beep" sound, hinting at his contempt for Lu Yuan's lack of knowledge.
As a powerful creature capable of roaming the Sea of Chaos, hasn't it witnessed far more spectacular scenes than a native like you? Yet, having experienced so many worlds, it still finds Pangu Continent a wonderful place, and Pangu Continent's own "Qiankun World" an even more exceptionally fertile place.
"Ding ding!" It seemed to express some meaning.
"What... is this life?!" Lu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, "And it's a powerful life form born naturally!"
It is really incredible that there is a naturally born level 7 civilization or even a level 8 civilization in the Sea of Chaos.
Suddenly, a concept popped up in his mind: [Boltzmann brain]!
"Self-awareness" is a low-entropy state.
Under this premise, scientists put forward a view: if the known low-entropy universe comes from entropy fluctuations, then many low-entropy self-consciousnesses should also appear in the fluctuations, such as a lonely brain.
This lonely brain is named Boltzmann brain.
In other words, the Boltzmann brain is formed naturally in infinite information.
These brains may be very strong or weak. The one in front of us may be the best in the sea of chaos.
"Can you still contact it now? Do you want it to participate in the defense of Pangaea Continent?"
"Ding ding!" The weaver called out, extended the antenna, and threw out a piece of light and shadow stone.
In the Sea of Chaos, it is just a larger insect and does not have the face to invite such an existence.
When Lu Yuan used his mind to contact the light and shadow stone, his head "boomed" as if an unimaginably large amount of data was stuffed into it! Inside, countless densely packed points of light appeared, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, sometimes moving, sometimes interacting, forming a diagram similar to that of an analog chip.
"Is this... part of the Boltzmann brain?"
Lu Yuan smiled bitterly. It was too wishful thinking for him to decipher this powerful life form born naturally with just a picture of light and shadow.
The weaver shouted twice, showing even more contempt.
Lu Yuan half-guessed, "You mean, the contents of this Light and Shadow Stone are similar to the [Infinite Colored Pearl] in my hand?"
"[Infinite Colored Pearl] is most likely a naturally occurring Boltzmann brain. However, the current idealistic environment is too complex, and it has been completely relegated to zero before it could even develop consciousness."
"But it does make sense to me... to transform it into an auxiliary brain..."
But this is too difficult, Lu Yuan has no idea at all!
The Creation Forging Method can reverse life and death to a certain extent, but this thing has to be installed in one's own head, and the brain is the most sophisticated organ, thousands of times more sophisticated than the heart.
Lu Yuan was not sure, not even one tenth of it.
"Anything else? What other powerful creatures have you encountered in the Sea of Chaos?"
The knitter is speechless. I gave you a message and you blew your nose in your face.
However, it has been here for some time after all, and the [Greedy Demon] is indeed at the same level as its weaver, so it gave out some memory information.
A series of mysterious images appeared in Lu Yuan's mind, all of which were the weaver's journey.
In the materialistic realm, there is the Boltzmann brain, and in the idealistic realm, there are countless powerful life forms.
For example, an "unknown spherical life form" that may be larger than the entire Pangaea continent and possesses huge idealistic gravity!
It is like an indescribable darkness, hidden in the void, manipulating gravity to capture the surrounding matter.
Whether it was a star or a planet, it was torn apart and swallowed.
[Weaver] just took a look from a distance and immediately launched a space jump to escape.
For example, a terrifying existence that spreads plague and fog, harvesting life on planets one after another.
But this being fell into a trap set by an advanced civilization and was captured by the gravity of a super black hole, unable to break free from the gravity for a long time.
Over time, it became a no-man's land.
What's more, there are life forms born on neutron stars. These creatures are very small, and the largest one is no bigger than a peanut, but their entire body is made up of "strong matter materials". A tiny peanut has a mass of 500 million tons, which is heavier than a mountain!
It’s hard to imagine how powerful this thing is in combat!
There is also the extremely cold Ice Soul race born in the vast void of the universe. They have the ability to freeze time and space. Although their innate racial value is not as good as the "Boltzmann Brain", it is at least level six in strength.
This race was currently at war with some unknown entity, but they were losing ground and had to flee their homeland...
There is also the "Lucifer" that can distort time and space, plasma life forms born from stars, dragon-shaped beasts with 100,000 heads that can cross the void... There are so many that Lu Yuan is dazzled.
All of this, the scene from the Sea of Chaos, made Lu Yuan's blood boil.
In comparison, Pangu Continent seems to be just a novice village!
