Chen An originally thought that the civilization experiments were limited to those that had been detected so far, but he didn't know that there were more to come, they were just more complicated, and the frequency of encounters was gradually decreasing.
But the outcome could never be changed. Either it was destroyed by nature, or the Sky Patrol Clan took action.
More than 20 years passed in the blink of an eye.
"How long has it been since we discovered civilization?"
【Four months】
"This is a good thing. It means there will be other changes ahead, instead of continuing to wander around in various other worlds."
[The river ahead widens and a waterfall appears]
"Fall?"
When the picture was shown, Chen An was greatly surprised.
There is indeed a waterfall, but it is not below, but rising upwards.
The river is still flowing upstream, neither fast nor slow.
But Chen An realized that the river water could flow upstream, but the fish in it could not.
Those giant fish will turn back when they get close to the waterfall.
"Is it impossible to go up?" Lina asked.
Chen An said: "I'll try it."
He shuttled to the bottom of the waterfall and felt the surging power gushing out.
There is not much resistance at first, but as he tries to move upwards, he encounters huge resistance, which increases exponentially.
Chen An immediately retreated and asked Fu Yao to conduct a comprehensive study.
"It seems like a special rule, so I can't get in at all."
Lina said with great interest, "If there are rules, we need to break them. It seems this is a test. As long as we pass it, we will gain something."
Chen An rolled his eyes.
"It's easier said than done. Let's gather information around here first!"
Fuyao can collect most of the information, but not all of it.
Four hours later, Fuyao gave an analysis of all aspects of the waterfall and came to an unsolvable conclusion.
"How can there be no solution?" Lina exclaimed.
Chen Ando said: "The waterfall has a downward force. With our strength, we can only withstand a height of one thousand meters at most."
Lina was puzzled: "But the waterfall is upstream! Can't we just follow the river up?"
"I tried, but it didn't work."
He even transformed himself into quantum form and merged into the river, but was still pushed away by the huge force.
Next, Chen An went deep into the water and approached the waterfall to conduct research in all aspects, not missing any details.
[Generally speaking, the rules are very simple, but we haven't found them yet]
Chen Ando said, "Actually, I'd rather know the purpose of the waterfall, because if there's a purpose, then we can deduce the rules."
【Suddenly I had an idea, what is behind us? 】
"Countless civilized worlds... Hey, you mean the waterfall is an obstacle for them?"
[It may not be an obstacle, but perhaps a kind of ladder to heaven. Only by crossing this ladder can those civilizations be recognized and continue to exist.]
Chen An thought about it and shook his head.
"There's a difficult question to answer. According to our previous exploration, this river is flowing upstream. When these civilizations existed, the waterfall flowed downstream... Wait, flowing downstream doesn't seem to affect the waterfall's function; it might even be more normal. Could it be related to the direction of the river's flow?"
We cannot change the direction of the river flow.
"The waterfall's obstacle faces downward. If the river flows downstream, it can function as a test for each civilization. But if the river flows upstream, it will cause a bug in the rules. This will be troublesome."
Chen An had a headache and couldn't find a solution.
After about four days of research, Lina had an idea.
"We can actually go sideways."
"Horizontal, are you sure?"
Lina said confidently, "I've tried it. If you go straight up, the resistance you encounter will exceed your limit. But if you move sideways, at a slight angle, the resistance isn't that great."
Based on this statement, Fuyao gave a simulation diagram, which made Chen An's eyelids twitch.
Start from the right side of the waterfall and move horizontally, with the overall angle shifted upward by five degrees.
The result will be a long, oblique straight line whose length will increase significantly.
[The height that used to take one hour to pass now requires five thousand hours, and accidents cannot be ruled out]
"You have to give it a try. It's worth it if you can succeed."
After making preparations, the two set off very cautiously.
It is indeed as expected. Although they will still encounter great obstacles, they are at a tolerable stage and will not affect the progress.
"How does this work? Logically speaking, the larger the area under force, the greater the resistance."
Anything you don’t understand can be considered a special rule.
"Well, that's not wrong."
For a long time afterwards, Chen An and Lina moved carefully on the waterfall while chatting and always found fun.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed, and they finally reached the end and climbed to the top of the waterfall.
Looking down from here, the view suddenly becomes clear and you can see the river in the distance, provided your eyes are strong enough.
[Alert: Master, a familiar crystal palace has been discovered four million kilometers away.]
As the scene unfolded, Chen An couldn't help but breathe quickly.
"Why is there no needle forest?"
The absence of coniferous forests is not good news.
[It is currently uncertain whether there is a cosmic origin, it is recommended to visit the site]
After several consecutive trips, they arrived at the palace.
Chen An was familiar with the process and went straight to the main hall, where he found the crystal pillar that stored the origin.
"There's the source inside, but why didn't it produce a forest of needles?"
This question cannot be answered and is not important.
Chen An called Lina over and they split the property equally.
"I... forget it."
Lina didn't know the effect of the origin, but she knew it was very valuable.
"I have already fused the divine flower, I leave this to you."
Chen An pulled her over and taught her how to absorb it.
