Fu Xiaoguan stayed in the two-story wooden building for three full days.
During these three days, Maria II stayed by his side. The two did not say much, but Maria II clearly saw Fu Xiaoguan's increasingly solemn expression.
She could recognize the words in half of the book, but there were many things she simply could not understand.
For example, the earth mentioned in this half of the book, interstellar travel, wormholes, the solar system, the Milky Way, etc.
However, Fu Xiaoguan knew.
This half of the book tells the origins of these first people who came into this world -
They come from Earth and are our true compatriots.
But the time is messed up. Before he traveled to this world, the civilization on Earth was simply not enough to support such an interstellar voyage.
They come from their own future society!
It is a society where science has been highly developed but the earth's resources have been exhausted.
“…the Federal Academy of Sciences believes that the history of human development is a history of human self-destruction.”
"Historians believe that throughout tens of thousands of years of human history, every advancement of civilization, while bringing social prosperity, has also been accompanied by war and slaughter."
“So is this historical process right or wrong?”
“Civilization is always moving forward, yet we have come in a circle.”
"Earthquakes began to occur frequently, volcanoes awakened, viruses began to revive, and plagues continued..."
“Humanity has moved from Earth to Mars, but Mars is still repeating Earth’s fate.”
“Humans are like locusts. Wherever they go, nothing grows there.”
"Is this human nature? Is destruction the ultimate destiny of humanity?"
"Or perhaps the birth and eventual demise of humanity is a program set by a higher being?"
"To verify this, and to find a correct path for humanity's future, the Federation mobilized its entire nation to form a powerful team, intending to cross the planes in search of a primitive civilization."
"We came here and became the creator gods of this world."
"We used human genes to create primitive humans, just like Nuwa in ancient mythology."
"We spread the seeds of life in many parts of this world, hoping to quietly watch them evolve slowly."
"But something unexpected happened. The wormhole that crossed the planes became distorted. We can no longer go back, and no one can come here anymore."
"Our lives are ultimately limited, and the eight-member team ultimately made a difficult decision to leave our past civilization here and rebuild the planet's terrain and life in the way Earth once did."
"We have launched a satellite here to monitor the evolution of civilization on this planet. We hope that when the wormhole returns to normal, our compatriots will be able to come here again and witness the evolution of civilization on this planet."
"We set up this process based on Earth's past history. Of course, we also made some changes to the past process. It is stored in Nuwa's computer. Huang Laoxie wrote it down roughly when he had some free time and named it "The Great Prophecy Technique."
"We also left an artificial intelligence on this planet. She guards Nuwa beneath the nuclear base and is watching the development of this world. She is the Observer. Huang Lao Xie named her the Second Dream."
"We hope that someone will come here again one day in the future, and we also hope that he can spread the civilization we left behind, but the eight-member group has a huge disagreement on this point."
"Old Man Du believes this is a replica of the past evolution of humans on Earth. What's the point of such an experiment?"
"Huang Lao Xie believes that Earth's past leaps in development seemed to be the result of intervention from a higher civilization. Since this is a simulation, the civilization on this planet should also experience the same situation."
"Ultimately, we decided to let it be."
"If there really are outsiders, the course of world history will be determined by you."
"The code of the second dream is... I left quietly, just as I came quietly. I waved to you quietly,
Bid farewell to the clouds in the west..."
"If you say something wrong, Second Dream is not a gentle little girl. She will kill you directly!"
“…”
…
…
When I walked out of the cabin, it was dusk and it was drizzling.
The poem "A Farewell to Cambridge" was still echoing in Fu Xiaoguan's mind, and he suddenly felt that he was just dreaming!
He looked up at the sky, unable to believe that there was a satellite in the sky monitoring the planet!
It was even more difficult for him to imagine that everything in the world today was created by them.
Only thousands of years have passed, and the history of this world has come to this day.
And I am indeed an outsider.
I have indeed promoted the progress of world civilization without realizing it.
Is this wrong or right?
Nobody knows.
They said they set the course of history for this world... Could it be that this world is just a game they created?
If that's the case, then isn't my coming to this world also part of their plan?
Suddenly, Fu Xiaoguan began to doubt the concept of fate.
If everything is predetermined by fate, what is the meaning of life?
But if not, several things described in this half of the book happen to be true——
For example, the rise of the East.
For example, the beginning of the Western Age of Exploration.
For example, a powerful fleet arrived from the East, and from then on, Eastern and Western civilizations began to merge, accompanied by the Eastern world's colonization of the Western world...
But I didn't come here to colonize.
They also say that the course of world history is decided by you... I can't decide a damn thing!
I just want to go to the 18th floor after this matter is over!
I just want to live the life of a landlord quietly and comfortably for the rest of my life!
History...is none of my business!
If all this is false, then I will live out my true self within this falsehood.
My destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of God... and certainly not to be determined by the programs you have arranged!
He stepped into the drizzle and walked onto the bluestone path lined with roses.
Maria II followed behind him and saw him also bend down and take a deep breath of the scent of the rose.
Fu Xiaoguan suddenly turned around, looked at Maria II, smiled, and said something that puzzled Maria II: "In fact, I once had someone plant a kind of flower in Daxia. It's called tulips."
"It's also a very beautiful flower. The Great Prophecy says that a tulip event will occur in history... I once thought about it, but now it won't happen."
"...What kind of incident was that?"
"A means of economic aggression."
Fu Xiaoguan raised his head again, letting the raindrops fall on his face. He raised his middle finger to the sky, raised his eyebrows and smiled as he said, "Even God is not omnipotent. I just want to live my own life. Of course, I might go and meet Di Meng."
