Chapter 356
Qi Heng had no expression to begin with, and after hearing this, the little curve on the corner of his mouth flattened out.
He said nothing.
Only at this moment did they really feel like they were looking in the mirror.
"I realized very early on that the lifespan of this universe is finite."
"No matter how much civilization develops, it cannot break free from these shackles. No matter how much it develops, the final outcome is always the same: destruction."
"I can't change this ending, so I pulled you into this world."
"Tracing back to the source, you are the beginning of this world. If it is you, there must be a way to find a new way out."
"If you hadn't given up on the game, maybe I wouldn't have to be so extreme."
Does this mean you should blame yourself?
Qi Heng was speechless. Who could have imagined that playing a game could lead to such trouble? "If I hadn't given up, do you think I could have broken the limit of civilization?"
"Yes," the Master said confidently, "The existence of time allows you countless opportunities for trial and error."
Hearing this, Qi Heng was annoyed.
"Speaking of time, the later fusion process was really tough on me."
When the third stage of fusion reaches about 60%, the returning memories are no longer limited to the master's past. The newly emerged memories are repetitive and different in large quantities - all of them are simulated by him within time.
When he played the game, he read the game archives casually and used the simulation function of [Between Time] wantonly. In the end, he had to bear the consequences himself.
"It's not my fault."
"I can't use this feature during the time. It's only available to you, and only when you're outside."
"During the simulation, your in-game consciousness is dormant. At the end, the system will only provide you with a text log of key points. It's not surprising that I don't have any memories of this part."
All of this memory is stored in the system, and there are permission restrictions, so only Qi Heng himself has the right to know it.
Therefore, if Qi Heng had not come to this world and had not merged with the split consciousness in the game, this part of the memory would never be unlocked.
Not to mention Qi Heng, even the master was not quite sure what happened during the simulation.
However, although the simulation process is "skipped" by the master, each simulation will leave a record within the system, and naturally will leave a trace on the master.
Many times we feel a sense of déjà vu, but it is not an illusion.
——But they had seen it countless times long ago, when the timeline was repeatedly advanced and reversed.
——The brain has no memory, but the body remembers that we met.
Before this, Qi Heng had never seriously counted how many simulations he had performed using this function, and how long the simulations took.
Until these memories merged and poured down on him like a torrential rain overnight, soaking him like a drowned rat.
Only when his brain was overwhelmed by memories did he realize that he had used time many times before.
These memories don't only bring bad things, they also bring good things.
The advantage is that he spent a longer life in these simulations - if he could not use his mental power to isolate some of the influences, he would only appear to be more dominant than the "Master".
You should know that outside the Tianjia civilization, the title "Dominator" has never been a pleasant word. It is more of a negative word that symbolizes "dictatorship", "conquest", "fear", etc., which makes people tremble when they hear it.
"Your guess is correct. Time did reappear after I came to this world."
Although the conditions for use are both harsh and "simple", perhaps because I realized that I was in a real world... this function that I often used in the early stages of the game, I didn't think about it much after coming to this world.
But do you really not want to use it?
Qi Heng fell into deep thought.
Since he came to this world, this function has only been unlocked once.
The Lord's plan to pull himself into this world was not as simple as he said, and more than just the Tianjia Galaxy was sacrificed.
Ten thousand years ago, hundreds of millions of Tianjia Zerg died in that avoidable war.
The Lord, who saw through his thoughts, said, "Sacrifice is necessary."
"If I don't do this, they will eventually perish. So why not choose a new path for them?"
Even if the Overlord didn't pull himself into this world, he could still maintain civilization, but what would happen after that? Ultimately, it would only lead to destruction.
The master never lacks the determination to fight to the death.
As the original body, Qi Heng naturally would not question his decision, because he would do the same if he were in his shoes.
Sacrificing a part, even if it is only 99%, is worth it as long as the spark of the universe can be preserved and passed on from generation to generation.
Compared to the original "doomed ending", the Overlord has found a second way for them. From the perspective of civilization and racial survival, no one can question or think that he is cruel.
After all, he didn't give nothing.
Qi Heng's arrival determined that his consciousness, which was separated by accident and could remain independent for a period of time, would eventually return to the main body's consciousness.
…melded into one, just as they always had been.
Only in this way can they be complete - the Lord of Tianjia.
"After coming to this world again, I have been thinking about why the current situation of the Tianjia Zerg in this world is like this."
"Now it seems that you did it."
"It's me." The Overlord nodded, his expression tinged with sarcasm. "We must always give the enemy some hope, so they won't kill us all."
"Okay, let's end our conversation here. You can read the rest yourself."
"The rest is not important."
"I am you and you are me. I believe I will not let myself down."
The Lord held out his hand to him.
Qi Heng shook hands back.
Within a few breaths, the figure of the master began to fade.
"I leave it to you. I believe I will be the one who succeeds in the end."
This was the last sentence the Lord left for him. It had no beginning or end, yet it seemed as if everything was implied.
It was not until the last memory merged that Qi Heng truly understood what the last sentence meant.
After integrating all his memories, his face darkened.
Qi Heng really wanted to separate the trouble-making consciousness that had merged into himself without a trace, and question how much expectation he had of him, as he had so casually entrusted such an important task to him after all the calculations.
He reflected.
The master wanted to trick me before leaving. Could it be that I have such a bad side?
The consciousness space did not disappear because of the disappearance of the master. Compared with the master, he is the real master of this consciousness space.
No, it should be said that only after consciousness is complete, the ownership of the consciousness space is completely complete.
The soul, spirit and consciousness of intelligent life become tough and strong through constant training. Life that does not go crazy over the long years will surely receive the gift from time.
Today, Qi Heng possesses the most powerful soul, tremendous mental strength, and extremely strong consciousness in the world.
Those memories and emotions that originally needed to be suppressed so as not to affect one's own life, now seemed like a rusty machine that could only barely run, but now it was polished, oiled, and ran incredibly smoothly.
Those interferences and discomforts no longer exist under the powerful strength.
Subconsciously, he summoned the system.
The player's attribute panel has changed after his travel through time, but it remains concise and clear.
[Civilization Simulator Level 6]
[Bound by: Qi Heng]

[Age: 23474 (46)]
[Height: 192cm]
[Spiritual Power: 130 million (Phantom God Level)]
[Star Power: Galaxy Level]
[……]
[……]
[Population Resources:]
[Tianjia Zerg: 5986w]
[Original Zerg: 168 billion]
[Galaxy Resources: Tianjia Star Region]
[……]
[……]
[System Energy: 50 billion]
If we remove the somewhat ugly population data, other aspects can be said to be almost infinitely close to the peak period of the empire.
But in Qi Heng's opinion, it's still a little bit lacking.
To use a gaming analogy, it's impossible to crush the opponent with such data, and you can just barely avoid failure.
There is no rush for population recovery, it has only been more than ten years.
As for why the number of the original Zerg is only over 100 billion, this is of course the result of his control. After all, without control, no matter how big the galaxy is, it cannot withstand these insects that only know how to eat.
This one hundred billion was the most appropriate number he had calculated. Most of it was used to block the level six civilizations, a small portion was used to block the level five civilizations, and a small portion was given to the remaining level three and four civilizations.
In today's Milky Way, there are many original Zerg in every corner, and different levels of Zerg nests are distributed everywhere in disguise.
The original Zerg was his backup plan, but he didn't want to use it if possible.
However, after acquiring complete memory, whether or not you need to say it probably doesn't count.
It also depends on what those civilizations that took the lead in besieging the Tianjia star field were thinking.
When playing the game, Qi Heng was limited by his gaming thinking and did not consider how other civilizations within the game viewed the development of the Tianjia civilization he led.
What's there to think about?
In the game, other civilizations are either competitors or hostile forces. If you are in doubt, just declare war immediately.
He developed civilization to its peak and made the entire civilization huge, just to run rampant in the game.
Which player cares about the opinions of the NPCs in the game?
We can change places.
From the perspective of civilizations such as Mora, you will find that Tianjia civilization is a bug.
The birth of civilization is full of randomness, and the evolution of various races is even more full of uncertainty. Any civilization that sets foot on the starry sea has not undergone millions of years of evolution before finally leaving its mother planet to explore outward.
Even if we explore outward, it is normal to stagnate for hundreds or thousands of years if we fail to solve technical problems at the beginning.
Even if one successfully controls the mother galaxy and begins to migrate outward, there are huge differences between each level of civilization. From level one to level six civilization, there are countless technologies that need to be mastered.
Tianjia civilization was not the first civilization to be promoted to level six, but it was definitely the fastest one to be promoted.
After it was promoted to the sixth-level civilization, it shook the status of several old civilizations. At that time, there were three civilizations above the Tianjia civilization that were promoted to the sixth level earlier than the Tianjia civilization.
Now, none of these three civilizations are left.
The four existing level six civilizations, Mora, Lyra, Lingyi and Gore, were promoted around the same time as the Tianjia civilization.
However, if higher civilizations also have the habit of ranking according to seniority, then the most powerful Tianjia civilization should be ranked behind, because the history of any of these four civilizations is longer than that of the Tianjia civilization.
But in the interstellar society, what matters is not who is older, but who has the bigger fist!
Therefore, it was the later-coming Tianjia civilization that ultimately unified the civilizations within the Milky Way and became the overlord of the Milky Way.
If there is such a thing as plug-in for the development of civilization, then Qi Heng is the plug-in exclusively for the Tianjia civilization. His existence gave birth to the behemoth Tianjia civilization, which gained the greatest advantage in a very short period of time with its abnormal development speed.
Qi Heng, as a player, did not expect this... Even if he did, he would not care. After all, to him, this was just a game.
He didn't care, but the master who saw this clearly couldn't help but care.
With the wisdom of the master, it is not surprising that he can see the crisis in the still calm situation - without the help of Qi Heng (plug-in), it will be difficult for Tianjia civilization to continue to maintain its advantage.
In addition, the master had seen through the ending of this world in advance, so he acted without any scruples.
From a macro perspective, this world is doomed to die young.
In a world that will enter a dead state within tens of thousands of years, it is meaningless to talk about the future of civilization, race, or individuals, because they will all die in the end.
There is no difference between dying now and dying in the future.
What the Tianjia civilization can see clearly, other civilizations will sooner or later discover... I don't know whether to say it's fortunate or unfortunate, but other civilizations that have entered level six have more or less made similar discoveries.
——If they can't find a new path, they will be trapped and die in this galaxy.
The Overlord noticed this and took the opportunity to drag other civilizations into his plan.
Tianjia will become the target of public criticism sooner or later, so why not detonate this hidden danger in advance while he can still control it? Leaving it to the future will only make it more difficult to control the direction.
The disappearance of the original Zerg was partly due to Qi Heng putting Qi Lan into hibernation, and partly due to the Overlord's deliberate inaction.
He will personally destroy the Tianjia civilization, making the Tianjia Zerg lose its threat, and other level six civilizations such as Mora will still give the Tianjia Zerg a glimmer of hope.
But what if the original Zerg still existed?
Then other civilizations will definitely not allow the Tianjia Zerg to continue to exist!
Who knows what will happen if the two sides meet.
The original Zerg's locust-like reproductive capacity means that any civilization that has survived the era of Tianjia civilization will not be able to see the threat posed by the original Zerg.
On the contrary, the Tianjia Zerg's strength comes from the entire civilization.
By destroying everything about the Tianjia civilization, exiling those that pose no threat to the already destroyed planet, and then further depriving them of their talents, they can sit back and use them at will without any worries.
In this way, the Tianjia Zerg race was able to survive.
This is a very risky move. If you are not careful, all the Tianjia Zerg will be finished.
It's really useless to wait for it.
At the very end of his memory, Qi Heng thought of the goal of advancing to the seventh level of civilization.
This was his goal in the past, but he didn't continue because he found it troublesome. Now what is coming has come, and there is no way to escape it.
The master is good, he can just pat his butt and leave a mess behind.
Promotion to level seven... the breakthrough point is probably still in the system. The function of [time] within the system is enough to influence the final result.
Although he thought so, Qi Heng had no intention of taking immediate action.
Compared to the conditions for promotion to the seventh-level civilization, which are still unclear, it is more important to promote the rapid development of Tianjia civilization.
"...We're here." It was Chu Xiu's voice.
Qi Heng was thinking, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Xiu looking down at him.
"I fell asleep." He sat up.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Not good." I thought about what happened in the past again. Fortunately, I didn't feel uncomfortable.
Meeting Chu Xiu's worried eyes, he said, "But with you by my side, it's not so bad."
