Chapter 842: Partial truth

Chapter 842
"What the host is about to deal with is a creature that invades the consciousness!"
"Biology? It's clearly data fragments, how can it be called a creature?"
"Attention, the biological concept here is different from what humans think. If a piece of data has self-consciousness, we also call it a biological."
"The fragments in the consciousness layer are indispensable food for this kind of creature. As it continues to grow, more human consciousness will be damaged."
"Is it crazy?" Zhou Yang asked.
"As a result, everyone in the lower world will be permanently swallowed by nightmares and become food for it. This system calls it-Dream Eater."
Zhou Yang frowned slightly: "Meng Eater...seems familiar."
"Yes, in human history and culture, this creature is portrayed! It is real."
"When this kind of creature appeared in different times, in different places, and in different processes, some humans with super keen physique felt it. That's why the legend about the dream beast was born."
"Everyone has an independent layer of consciousness. Under normal circumstances, it is not connected to the consciousness layer of the lower world. Only under extremely rare conditions, such as... Cheng Xiaoman!"
It turned out to be so.
Enlightenment surged in Zhou Yang's heart.
The consciousness layer is like an online game.
Everyone has a login account, but the vast majority of people only play single machines and never connect to the Internet.
And because of Zhou Yang's reconstruction of his consciousness, Cheng Xiaoman accidentally got the permission to connect to the Internet.
"That's why I said that the tasks that the system gave me are all purposeful!" Zhou Yang vomited, "I know you wouldn't be so kind."
"Host, when that day comes, you will know that all tasks are not for nothing!"
Zhou Yang chuckled, "You have spoken almost two million words on this topic. When will that day come? What kind of day is it?"
"Host, have you ever thought about civilization before human civilization?" The system seemed to answer the question.
"Prehistoric civilization is not a new topic. Anyway, you have said that the so-called historical process is just a series of continuous but independent fragments, all designed." Zhou Yang pouted, "Now what you say is what you say. What!"
"According to research in the lower world, there have been five mass extinctions in the past 500 million years," said the system.
Zhou Yang laughed and interrupted: "I know this..."
As the children's general teacher, Zhou Yang is indeed very familiar with this part.
"From the perspective of geological age..." Zhou Yang said, "The five mass extinctions are the Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous dinosaur extinction events. As for the middle ice age, needless to say, once every tens of thousands of years."
"These five extinctions are five experiments in the middle world!"
"What?" Zhou Yang was stunned again.
"In order to balance the power of the two sides, the middle world has been experimenting until... the sixth season." System said.
The coolness flooded Zhou Yang instantly.
"System, do you mean... the sixth season will also be extinct?" Zhou Yang's voice trembled.
"Yes, host, you have been preparing for that day!"
Zhou Yang didn't speak for a long time.
how could this be?
I do tasks every day to meet the destruction of the lower world?
"The host needs to understand that the entropy increase system, extinction is an inevitable result."
Fortunately, the system gave Zhou Yang the status of being a master student, allowing Zhou Yang to understand the meaning of entropy increase.
"Of course, for the lower world, perhaps it should be called restart, which is more appropriate." The voice of the system has no emotion. "Everything humans see in the lower world, including human beings themselves, will return to nothingness, and then usher in another reset. , Everything goes to zero."
"The rising of the sun from the east to the west is controlled by a fixed program."
"The tides of the sea, the development of science, the birth, aging, sickness and death of human beings, everything is controlled by corresponding procedures."
"The real world the host sees is a special form of reality."
"A hard drive similar to a computer is about to be formatted."
"I really don't understand!" Zhou Yang held his forehead, his head about to explode.
But the bombardment of the system continues.
In order to balance the strength of both parties, Zhongzeng World made six attempts.
"The first time, it was the Cambrian life explosion that mankind said! It was the first time that the middle world injected a large number of programs and developed by themselves."
"But the Ordovician will not be extinct?" Zhou Yang asked, "What was the result of the attempt? Failure?"
"Of course not!" said the system, "the lower world, the Cambrian explosion, the most critical gain is the creation of a consumable and transformable program like oxygen!"
"The middle world has discovered that after the lower world changes from an anaerobic environment to an aerobic environment, more self-evolving programs can be created!"
Zhou Yang slapped his face: "Theory of evolution?"
"Not quite right!" the system said, "In the subsequent formatting process of the middle world, some programs were deliberately left behind and continued to run until the ape-man thought by humans appeared..."
"I understand!" Zhou Yang nodded, "In the evolutionary chain, there are always missing circles. In the history of human civilization, there are also periods of great explosions. Can I understand that the middle world has intervened?"
"Yes!" said the system, "even though the lower world has a high degree of freedom, the middle world is still interfering with its development in various ways."
"The location of geomagnetic deflection or malfunction mentioned in the news is a bug in the lower world program, or a backdoor program left by the middle world."
"System, what do you mean, mountains and rivers, trees and animals, are all fake?"
"To be precise, they are all data! Host, matter, and consciousness are just concepts summed up by human beings in self-evolution. They cannot cover everything." System Road.
"That said, all kinds of magical events, ancient and modern, at home and abroad, have their sources?"
"Yes!"
"What is a dragon?"
"The weather program of the middle world in the lower world."
Zhou Yang understood again.
No wonder, the legendary dragon, with wind and rain, is in charge of precipitation.
That's it.
"The dragon I killed was also a weather program?"
"What the host wants to ask is the red crystal... the dragon can move instantaneously in the lower world, relying on the positioning function of the red crystal. The host has the red crystal, so it can move smoothly in different time periods. However, it cannot Move in different locations in the same time period."
"I can travel through time and space, but I cannot move instantaneously." Zhou Yang expressed his understanding.
