Chapter 165 The Misty Winter (End)
After the Rubik's Cube crashed, there were no more obstacles, and Lin Xia quickly scanned its interior with her mental energy.
Upon seeing the various game scenes, Lin Xia's mental focus faltered when she saw the ocean survival world.
This is indeed a 'toy'. Its interior is actually very simple, but even with its simplicity, they have no power to resist.
The previous functions all relied on the wires connecting these people, while the blue silk thread connects to the collective subconscious sea.
Because of Lin Xia's appearance, the collective subconscious sea was shut down, and it could no longer draw energy from it. Instead, it drew energy from the dream space, which resulted in longer nights inside the dome.
As for those so-called 'secret manuals,' they were all collected by Elder Yan and his fellow humans. After obtaining this alien artifact, they implanted their own purposes into 'Misty Winter.'
They wanted to see if, with such a large number of people and such a harsh environment, the grand spectacle of ancient cultivation could be recreated.
This thing itself carries a lot of knowledge about formations, and after absorbing different content here, it is also optimizing its own system.
Lin Xia's mental power quickly deciphered how to use the Rubik's Cube. Without the supply of energy, the Rubik's Cube would soon lose its function, and the domes and illusions would immediately disappear.
But if it had been done sooner, fewer people might have died. Lin Xia found the mechanical switch and turned it off. At that moment, her mental energy seemed to see countless things like bullet screens flash by. When she tried to turn it back on to see it more clearly, she couldn't open it no matter what she did.
It seems that more energy is needed to activate it, so Lin Xia thought about it and decided to give up.
The closing of the dome brought those who had been immersed in the game back to reality. Some people on the scene never woke up, let alone those who had entered the game much earlier.
This planet has not actually suffered any irreversible damage, except for the loss of energy and the death of humankind.
When the dome and the illusions all disappeared, most people didn't realize what was happening until the scene before them returned to its previous state.
Most people wept with joy, while only a small number of ambitious individuals who had profited from the situation were filled with remorse.
Although most of the things were fake, the 'secret manuals' were real, and those who understood them truly improved their strength.
Lin Xia glanced at Old Yan's already stiff corpse, then controlled a fireball to burn him to ashes. This man was so afraid of death, yet he died in the disaster he himself had designed; it was retribution.
Before these people could turn the tables, Lin Xia stuffed the Rubik's Cube into the space and quickly left.
They found the plane that had brought her there and flew away. Since her breakthrough in mental power, she had become very fast at learning things. After observing something with her mental power for a while, she could control her body to make the same movements.
They can also instantly understand the principles and operating modes of these machines, and when they get their hands on them again, they can operate them very skillfully.
On the way, Lin Xia saw people who had regained consciousness frantically fighting for food and water. When some people discovered that they could use the abilities and techniques they had cultivated, the struggle became even more intense.
After Lin Xia stopped, he discovered that many people had gained huge combat power and the country was rapidly recovering, but he found that the entire combat system had collapsed and almost all of its energy had been drained.
It was only after deploying superhumans that those ambitious individuals were subdued.
But Lin Xia knew that without the threat of force, the original national system might soon fall apart, unless most of the strong fighters joined the state.
The misty winter has ended, but Lin Xia is still here. The 'bullet comments' she saw earlier flash through her mind, and she feels a little worried.
Thinking of Nisa, she knew he was definitely not telling the truth, but the things described in the comments still made her very worried.
[Ha, as expected, that ancient cultivation system is no longer suitable for this universe.]
[Yeah, maybe if you work at the highest level you can spot the anomalies, but at this level, tsk tsk...]
[Haha, this is hilarious! They think they can rule the world just like that?]
"Is this too boring? Even if you cultivate like this for 100 years, you still can't reach even one of my fingers."
[Don't worry, they're almost finished. This world's energy resources are too scarce to last many more years.]
[Hey, this is still interesting; their world doesn't have guardians of spiritual power.]
"Ha, wouldn't that just lead to an even faster collapse?"
[Okay, that's it, I'm out. It's pointless.]
......
Although these comments only flashed before her eyes, her mental strength was enough to capture the entire scene in that instant.
From these few sentences, it's clear that this world has been destroyed, something she had anticipated. Although she knew these worlds were real, most of them were things that happened in the past.
In other words, the period she experienced was a time of civilization's demise. If she hadn't intervened, the world would have ended up exactly as those comments predicted.
But that's what puzzled her: if all of this happened in the past, why did she encounter Nisa and receive real-time answers from her? And what about the world she's seeing now?
Could it be that she has encountered Nisa, who once passed through this place, here and now? Various theories about time and space collided in Lin Xia's mind.
Nisa said that the leaders of every civilization are chosen by the pioneers of that civilization, and she understood this when she heard it.
She and Yun Ya were actually the initial chosen ones, or rather, every person with a special talent was a candidate.
What determines your special talents is everything you have done and everything you have possessed in the past.
Your past and present choices determine whether you can be chosen, and in the ocean world, every choice you make will determine your fate.
Lin Xia had a vague feeling that being chosen was not only due to ability and comprehension, but also to good and evil.
The two systems in their world represent good and evil, respectively.
Human desires determine that there are many uncertainties in a person's life; human nature is also an unpredictable phenomenon.
If her guess is correct, then the choices of the entire world and everyone else are also very important.
One person can lead the way, but cannot be a savior. Just as our civilization has produced so many brilliant people, it is impossible for one person to save everyone or to save civilization from disaster.
There must be many things she didn't know, but this time, she finally understood many things, such as: factions.
Once you have a starting point, untangling a mess becomes much easier.
Congratulations to the player for completing the game ahead of schedule.
Upon hearing these words, the entire world seemed to freeze, replaced by a crystal-clear 'Time Amber' that instantly vanished from Lin Xia's spiritual power.
Lin Xia was slightly taken aback. What exactly is Time Amber?
