Chapter 1678: Chapter 656: Perishing in Silence

"Originally, Zhe Luo was going to destroy those frozen hibernation chambers that failed to thaw. We requested that this matter should be handled by ourselves. I told Zhe Luo that humanity is a civilization that values inheritance and needs to find a sense of self-identity in history. Only by burying these unawakenable old acquaintances ourselves can we completely sever ties with the past. Zhe Luo agreed to this request and handed over those seemingly abandoned over two hundred thousand frozen hibernation chambers to us."

"We brought the cultivation base to Source Star and let the cultivation base begin to orbit Source Star, becoming its second moon. Subsequently, I deployed primitive village groups on the surface of Source Star that had been raised in simulated forests from a young age, already trained with basic survival skills. Meanwhile, we launched those over two hundred thousand frozen hibernation chambers into an erupting active volcano on Source Star."

Upon hearing this, the young girl couldn’t resist interrupting once again, "Did you really destroy those hibernation chambers?"

"No." The City Lord finally shook off his previous decline, talking with a slightly proud tone: "To assist the evolution of new primitive humans on Source Star, avoiding some risks from natural disasters, Zhe Luo provided us with some mature technical methods. Of course, they did not teach the principles. On the way from the Southern Nine Star System to Source Star, we first observed with a passive telescope that Zhe Luo took that small asteroid deep into the Ancient Disk Galaxy."

"Although we didn’t know what Zhe Luo intended to do, it was clear we had temporarily escaped Zhe Luo’s sight. We decided to take a gamble, dismantled some consumables from the spaceship, created shields, and protected these frozen chambers during the volcanic eruption. Indeed, visually, those chambers seemed to have fallen into the volcano. Zhe Luo didn’t see through the destruction video we provided."

"What followed was the entire process of the first Earth humans on Source Star from origin to extinction that you witnessed, during which many things happened in those tens of millions of years. Approximately five hundred thousand years later, a super-large quasar, which had no gravitational interaction with nearby stars, appeared in the central black hole of the Ancient Disk Galaxy. At this time, Source Star humans had just stepped from the electrical age into the information age."

"Later, we were horrified to find that a strange regular dodecahedron structure appeared in the atomic electron clouds throughout the Ancient Disk Galaxy. We didn’t understand its purpose, but Zhe Luo was not planning to answer our questions. Subsequently, we found that the minds of newly born humans on Source Star were locked, and their average life expectancy started to shorten. We began to realize something was wrong but didn’t dare to question or doubt and just continued to play the role of managers."

"Almost ten million years later, relying on feedback from Ascenders’ technology, we finally found a cellular substitution scheme to improve human health conditions. We repaired all repairable frozen hibernation chambers, revived all saveable compatriots, a total of ten thousand people. We first tried to awaken one person from those ten thousand. Then, taking advantage of when the Mechanical Empire happened to re-enable Source Star, we deployed her, attempting to integrate her into the new society on Source Star to bring some changes."

"Unfortunately, this attempt failed. She couldn’t even establish herself and tragically died. She was the first companion you saw earlier. After her death, her consciousness did not completely dissipate, but stayed in the resistance base she established, waiting all the time. This resistance base is the Nameless City. Clearly, Zhe Luo didn’t anticipate that in the space where the quasar modified the universe’s rules, consciousness based on original normal rules from native humans on Galaxy Earth would truly possess souls, and there would be an afterlife. Apparently, the galaxy or our observable universe bestowed some characteristics on Earth humans that surpass Zhe Luo’s understanding."

"Later, another several hundred thousand years passed, the Mechanical Empire had perished. The Pilgrims were about to achieve ultimate victory. At this point, Zeroing occurred. Only then did we realize that the quasar, which seemed like auxiliary computing equipment or perhaps a Zhe Luo settlement point, was actually a weapon. I named it Zeroing Weapon. Under the illumination of the Zeroing Weapon, only stars and black holes can resist, while all other physical entities are shattered, even the fold jump subspace channels painstakingly established by humans were obliterated."

"Lurking on Source Star, we were obviously unable to escape either. But at this time, one of my companions, a more remarkable manager, found a way to perfectly combine Zhe Luo technology with human technology to create a truly stationary subspace."

"Before death arrived, we exhausted the energy of the carriers given by Zhe Luo to simultaneously send the Nameless City and the nearby area which was once a volcano, now merely a small hill densely covered in forest, underground where we hid many frozen chambers with Zhe Luo technology into the stationary subspace, pinning hope on the future."

"It worked, the stationary subspace resisted the strike of the Zeroing Weapon, and I also entered the afterlife after death, my consciousness retained and met my first companion."

Tai Hong asked, "Didn’t you say you had dozens of companions? Where are they?"

City Lord: "To establish a stationary subspace, besides needing Zhe Luo technology, it required enormous computing power. We stole Zhe Luo’s brain drain technology, in an instant exhausting the mental power of all my other companions. Their brain’s quantum entangled spirals completely shattered and utterly vanished. Only I survived in a certain sense."

Tai Hong: "Is that so."

City Lord: "After the Zeroing Weapon returned to dormancy, the basic particles generated from shattered protons and neutrons quickly aggregated again. In just a few thousand years, countless planets, space meteorites, and even space dust reappeared, with positions unchanged from before, even the geographical features of planets were identical to before. This is the true meaning of zeroing, everything returning to origin, just without life. The flying device we once settled also became the second real moon of Source Star. This is also the only difference between Source Star System and Galaxy Solar System. Subsequently, my first companion and I continued observing Source Star in the afterlife world, seeing a flying device belonging to Zhe Luo arriving on Source Star and swiftly rebuilding the planetary ecosystem, everything returning to the state before we deployed primitive humans on Source Star."

"Then, subsequently, Zhe Luo’s flying device once again deployed a batch of new primitive humans, and what happened later is the second cycle of destruction you saw."

"We finally realized that the reason Zhe Luo wanted us to act as managers initially was precisely because they believed humans understand humanity best. It needs us to complete it once, and then they can continuously replicate our previous work."
