Chapter 1688
Chapter 1697 The accumulated darkness
There is a poem called "I Didn't Speak", which talks about only caring about one's own interests in the face of evil, and when others are wronged, bullied, When you are being persecuted, if you stand on the sidelines and do not pay even a small price for social justice, then one day, when you need help, no one will speak for you.
Whether it is the light camp’s worship of the giants or the evil dark people breeding in their hearts, they have not caused the giants to deviate at all. If monsters appear, they will be destroyed. There are no monsters. Just disappeared.
And this has also caused a lot of controversy, some yearning for mystery and greatness, some criticizing arrogance and disdain, but no matter what, they can't attract the attention of the giants, just like robots without emotions, stiff are carrying out their 'program', which is to destroy the monsters.
Originally, if things continued like this, no matter how much worship or evil thoughts there were, they would not be able to reach these giants who came and went without a trace, but the psychedelic flower suddenly bloomed.
The paradise that people are chasing after appears in front of them in an instant. There is no need for hard work or hard pursuit, just a thought in the heart, everything you want can be realized in an instant, everyone can Immersed in bliss, surrounded by boundless happiness, experiencing this bliss that is hard to find in the world.
How difficult is addiction to break?
Put down your phone and see how long you can hold on, then you will know how difficult it is.
And the happiness brought by this psychedelic flower is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more powerful than a mobile phone. All the good things can be realized, and everything you can imagine appears before your eyes.
No one can refuse and just want to keep it permanently.
The monsters that made psychedelic pollen appeared, and the giants also appeared, but looking at the people guarding the psychedelic flowers, the giants stood for a long time, then disappeared, and never appeared again.
The giants who have not had any interaction with humans naturally lose the meaning of staying here when humans refuse their help. They appear and disappear suddenly just as they appeared.
But people are happily experiencing bliss, even if some people know that this will not last long. After all, no one grows food, no one moves bricks, and no one is cut. How can society function?
But we have all experienced the bliss. No one wants to be a hardworking cow or horse, or an honest leek. They just want to live in a dream and be immersed in this beauty for a longer time.
In the end, one after another, they fell to the ground with happy smiles. Their bodies were starved to death, but their spirits disappeared in happiness.
—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—
The light in the sand in Chiba Makoto’s hand is dimming rapidly, and the picture that appears in the light is also From clarity to blur, until it completely disappeared, this sand of time also disappeared, leaving only the dazzling ruins and the tangled roots on them, which were deeply imprinted in Chiba Cheng's mind.
The psychedelic flower that feeds on civilization!
In the beginning, they were just small and beautiful flowers. They looked just like other flowers in the flower bed. However, the more people it 'infected' with the pollen it released, the more its roots and stems became infected. It grows longer and thicker. By the time all the people on this planet die in the illusory beauty created by pollen, its roots have penetrated deeply into all corners of the planet, and its stems are more than ten meters thick. The crouching dragon occupies all the land on the planet.
Whether it's mountains or plains; whether it's cities or villages, thick stems grow everywhere, densely packed like a huge net, encompassing the entire planet.
It looks like weeds growing crazily in the farmland, occupying all the sunlight and absorbing all the nutrients, leaving no room for crops that should grow vigorously.
This is the case with this sand of time. Before the scene disappeared, this once-vibrant planet had fallen into a dead silence. No birds could be heard in the sky, no insects could be heard on the ground, and even the grass and trees could not be heard. Only rotten branches and leaves are left, all animals and plants are gone, and only this psychedelic flower is left that covers every inch of the planet.
No, it can no longer be called a flower, because after the extinction of civilization and the death of the race, the flowers closed and no longer released pollen. They just grew, grew, and grew with all their strength until they were on this planet. Until the top is full.
What happens next? Because the Sand of Time loses its light and disappears, Chiba Makoto cannot see it, but he can probably guess it.
Anyone who cultivates land or flowers knows that when a piece of land has no nutrients, movable animals will migrate. Before the immovable flowers and plants wither, they will use various methods to deliver mature seeds to where they can take root and sprout. place.
So, after a planet is completely sucked dry, the roots all over the planet will naturally wither and decay, and the seeds cultivated with the nutrients of the planet must be sent to other places in some way. There, waiting for the opportunity, and then take root and grow again.
In this cycle, like a chain reaction, the number of seeds will increase rapidly, and the number of planets that are 'sucked dry' will also double until
"reach a certain Threshold!”
Chiba Cheng murmured in a low voice, although there was not much Evidence, but if you think about it seriously, you can imagine that if this trend continues, only one seed will sprout and suck a planet dry the first time, but if there are only two seeds that grow, then the second time Each generation will suck up two planets, four in the third generation and eight in the fourth generation
There will definitely be seeds that fail to complete their 'mission' along the way, just like in this world, being wiped out by Da Gu, who is both light and human. But as long as the number increases, the failure of one or a few seeds will have an impact on the whole. It's not big, it can even be said to have no impact.
As generations go by, one day, the number will become extremely terrifying, and the total amount of energy absorbed will be calculated by how many universes are filled.
The more Chiba Cheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. He took a deep breath and looked at the dark vortex that was very close at hand. It was so huge that it filled Chiba Cheng's field of vision, and it was even darker inside. , without revealing anything about the inside, you can only see grains of golden sand flying out of it, and then floating upward.
I don’t know where I came from, let alone where I’m going.
Qianye Cheng stretched out his hand and gently held a sand of time that had just flown out of the dark vortex. The faint light gathered in his palm, making Qianye Cheng's eyes appear again. A scene full of brilliance:
The same brilliant civilization discovered light, developed light, and became brilliant because of light.
In the beginning, it was to build starships propelled by light. After the subsequent development of technology and a better understanding of the universe, they began to build giant island-shaped aircraft, with personnel inside, weapons and equipment on the outside, and the top The large space is used to park small aircraft and capture comets and asteroids, or tow them back to their home planet, or rough them on site.
—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—
I wonder if it is this sand of time that floats out from the dark whirlpool with plenty of light. Because of this, the pictures that Qianye Cheng could see were clearer and more detailed, and they vividly demonstrated the uses of those creations.
This giant island alone amazes Chiba Makoto, it is so creative.
This creation, named 'Mechanical Island' by TPC, is not for fighting, but for resource extraction.
The self-destructing robots inside are actually 'miners', which are equivalent to the original 'blasting' and are used for rough processing of the universe, which means to blow up the excess rocks in the universe, leaving only the rich ore parts. Not only can it save space, but it can also reduce weight, allowing more minerals to be retrieved at one time. It is precisely through the large-scale development of resources in the asteroid belt that civilization has made leaps and bounds of progress. There is no need to consider which minerals are non-renewable, nor do we need to consider future generations, because there are more asteroids outside the solar system for them to mine.
A large amount of resources promotes the rapid development and progress of society. The splendid civilization of light stands proudly in the solar system and moves towards the galaxy.
Then
Without any conquest, darkness suddenly fell.
From the underground, from the ocean, and from the air, various monsters appeared one after another, wreaking wanton destruction among cities, setting off waves on the sea, dive bombing in the air, turning cities into ruins, countless People were displaced, and the development process of civilization came to an abrupt halt or even began to regress.
When all efforts were in vain, the stars from the universe shone brightly and condensed into huge people of light one after another. They fought fiercely with the monsters on the ground, in the water, and in the air. One terrible monster was eliminated one after another, and disaster after disaster was put to rest.
People who have experienced disasters and fear, unsurprisingly began to worship these giants of light, cheering for them, jumping for joy for them, and even worshiping the erected statues.
For a time, the entire civilization regarded these giants as gods.
Slowly, the ugliness in human nature is revealed, and greed engulfs everything. The evil eyes are fixed on these giants who have great power and can easily climb mountains and reclaim seas. They have long lifespans and have not changed at all even after hundreds of years. of giants.
But this time, evil breeds darkness, and dark giants quietly appear and begin to confront these giants of light from the stars. Although these dark giants also destroy monsters, once they discover the giants of light, they will immediately Leave the monster behind and destroy the giant of light.
The two sides fought fiercely on the planet, causing more damage than the monsters, and the fear they brought to the people was naturally extremely strong.
The war continues to spread, and the number of wars is increasing rapidly!
Until one day, the psychedelic flower suddenly bloomed, making the people who had suffered from the war feel bliss and immediately immersed themselves in it.
Because the people are all attracted by the psychedelic flowers and no longer care about anything.
What light and darkness, what evil and goodness, all have no meaning.
For ordinary people, temporary happiness is the most important. What is the long-term plan, sacrificing this generation for the sake of future generations.
Impossible!
Let alone decades, even years and months are unbearable.
Therefore, pollen that can bring bliss is naturally very popular. Even if they know that it is drinking poison to quench thirst, when they are about to die of thirst, few people really care. They can be happy for a while.
This civilization sank at a faster speed, and then no one paid attention or care to the war between the dark giant and the light giant, and it slowly disappeared, leaving only people lying all over the street. , die in happiness, die in joy.
The beautiful planet was once again occupied by endless vines, the fertile land was once again filled with greedy roots, and soon the entire planet lost its vitality.
The Sand of Time in Qianye Cheng's hand also lost its light, and finally disappeared from Qianye Cheng's eyes because of the lack of light.
"So this is the emergence of darkness." Qianye Cheng murmured in a low voice. In the last grain of sand of time, there was no dark giant. Only the light giant continued to fight until it was lost. The appearance of the Flower of Illusion caused the people to no longer need the Giants of Light, and the Giants of Light left, and civilization perished.
But in this sand of time, a dark giant appeared, and a war broke out with the giant of light, causing the people to suffer the suffering of the war, and thus became even more addicted to the beauty brought by the psychedelic flower, and thus moved faster extinction rate.
"What is the reason for this change?"
Chiba Cheng frowned, thinking hard about the difference between these two sands of time, and why. Will there be such a difference?
Could it be that.
It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through Qianye Cheng's mind, making Qianye Cheng think of a possibility.
Could it be that the algebra of the seeds is different?
For example, the psychedelic flower in the last Sands of Time was the third generation, and this Sands of Time is the fourth generation.
Because the fourth generation seed is the third generation psychedelic flower, which was born after absorbing the energy of the planet, then during the absorption process, will it also absorb the "darkness" in the hearts of the perishing people? Woolen cloth?
And these darkness will take root and sprout with the seeds until they bloom, and then enter people's hearts along with the pollen, quietly affecting people's hearts, thus creating greater darkness. ?
This is like the accumulation of toxins in the biological world. Along the food web and food chain, the top predator is, the more toxins are accumulated.
Correspondingly, the lower the algebra of the seed, the more "dark" it contains, and the pollen produced will have a greater dark influence on people after it is absorbed by people.
You must know that the darkness in human hearts is huge. It does not seem impossible that such a huge darkness will give birth to a huge dark person.
So the dark giant of this civilization was born because the darkness absorbed by the previous seeds accumulated to a certain extent.
This further supports Chiba Makoto’s previous speculation. The guy who created the psychedelic flower and spread the seeds from generation to generation is definitely waiting for the energy absorbed by the psychedelic flower to reach a certain threshold. .
Quantitative changes can produce dramatic changes.
Just like the darkness in people's hearts, a single one is nothing and cannot change anything, but once accumulated to a certain extent, even a giant can be born.
