MMB Chapter 1356【Y-012】
Chapter 1356【Y-012】
When the man heard Chen Ling's question, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Forget it. You're going to know it sooner or later anyway. It doesn't hurt to tell you now... Come with me."
After the man finished speaking, he turned and walked deeper into the ashes of civilization.
Chen Ling and Wu Yi were about to follow when the man spoke again:
"Tell your men to wait here. It's too big and will be torn to pieces if it goes deep into the embers."
Wu Yi turned his head and looked at Chen Ling. Chen Ling didn't hesitate and let it wait there.
Although the strength of this Silent Angel was stronger than Chen Ling's current strength, he had no ill will towards him, otherwise he would not have gone to so much trouble to rescue the two of them from the collapse... Moreover, he seemed to know a lot of secrets of the Red Star, which Chen Ling was very interested in.
The two walked side by side along a broken street, passing through the bizarre and twisted ruins of the city. The gray and white snowflakes were still falling, and there was deathly silence all around.
"What do you think the world is?" the man took the initiative to speak.
Chen Ling also discussed the same question in depth with Teacher Ye when he was in the Fusion School. He gave his own answer without much thought:
"Candlelight?"
"?"
The man suddenly stopped.
The young man turned to look at Chen Ling in surprise, as if he didn't expect that he would give the answer right away: "Did they tell you?"
"……who are they?"
"If they didn't tell you, how did you know?"
"A long time ago, I met a doctor named Lin, who mentioned this concept to me...but I think he just said it casually." Chen Ling answered truthfully.
"Doctor Lin?" The young man was stunned for a long time, and his expression changed continuously.
"what happened?"
"...It's okay." After a pause, the young man continued, "You are right. Each world can be seen as a ray of light...born from the candlelight, extending infinitely into the void. These rays of light come from the same source, but extend in different directions and never intersect with each other."
The young man pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
"This world, which you call the Gray Realm, and the world where the human realm is located are actually two adjacent candlelight rays."
Chen Ling looked in the direction of his finger and suddenly spoke:
"So, there really was human civilization in the Gray World?"
"Of course. The closer the rays are, the more similar the worlds are. This place was once the same as your world. Not only did it have human civilization, but it also had similar geological environments, similar countries, and even similar histories...
In some film and television works, you can see the concept of traveling through parallel worlds. After someone unexpectedly experiences something, he comes to another almost identical world, where there are also equally prosperous cities and similar cultural concepts. You can even find people in another world who are very similar to those in the original world.
This is the relationship between you and the former Gray World."
After seeing the embers of civilization, Chen Ling actually guessed that there might have been human civilization in the Gray World, but he never imagined that this was once a world like the Earth.
The unchanging lead-gray clouds, the barren black earth, the strange pollution that is harmful to the human body, and those brutal and terrifying disasters... nothing here, no matter how you look at it, can be connected to the Earth of the past.
"Then how did it become like this?" Chen Ling couldn't help but ask.
"[Y-012]."
"what?"
"The number of that meteor." The young man paused for a moment, "In the terms of your human world, it is the Red Star."
Chen Ling was stunned.
"Red Star... has a number?"
"Well, the deputy captain classified and numbered them in order to distinguish them."
These two short sentences gave Chen Ling an unprecedented shock. He didn't know where to start asking questions... He could only ask the question that was most pressing to him:
"They?? Red Star... more than one???"
"Everything is a unity of opposites. With the candlelight that gave birth to everything, there will naturally be darkness that the light cannot reach... Outside the candlelight world, there is a meteor shower approaching." The young man spoke slowly.
"No one knows where this meteor shower comes from. The only thing we know is that the target of this meteor shower is the source of the world, that is, the 'Candlelight' itself, and the red star you are talking about, that is, [Y-012], is part of this meteor shower.
Each meteor in this meteor shower has different characteristics. For example, G-series meteors contain pure destructive power and will explode the moment they touch the candlelight world, directly blowing the entire world line into pieces; J-series meteors can affect the thoughts of all living things, usually causing the corresponding world line to fall into war and eventually lead to self-destruction...
K-series meteors will erode the world line bit by bit in the form of special life forms until it is completely devoured, such as... a mythical invasion.
The Y-series meteors are extremely special among all meteors. They do not have the absolute destructive power like the G-series meteors, nor do they have a substantial body like the K-series meteors. What they affect is "civilization" itself.
After [Y-012] arrived at Candlelight, it directly penetrated the Candlelight World to which the Gray Realm belonged, and tens of thousands of years of human civilization collapsed, as if a super vortex appeared in the long river of history, swallowing up all traces of human existence... The embers of civilization you see now are the hole where [Y-012] once penetrated the Candlelight World, and it is also the place where the final civilization heritage of this world is buried. "
The young man paused and added,
“After [Y-012] penetrated the Gray Realm, it passed through the sky above the world where the human realm is located. Although it did not directly hit the candlelight where you are, its special force field still affected the world you are in.
Your civilization begins to regress, and because the barrier between you and the Gray World has been penetrated by the Red Star, creatures from the Gray World will also invade your world through the ever-expanding hole. "
When the young man finished speaking, Chen Ling opened his mouth slightly, his mind already extremely shocked.
He never expected that the young man in front of him would completely solve the mystery that has plagued the human world with just a few simple words... The origin of the red star, the emergence of the gray world, and even the decline of civilization itself were all answered with the appearance of the "meteor shower" and "【Y-012】".
Chen Ling took a long while to digest all the young man's words. Then he seemed to remember something and asked:
"The meteor that passed by the Earth... that is, [Y-012], will it come back?"
"In theory, the trajectory of a meteor is irreversible." The young man gave Chen Ling a complicated look, "But [Y-012] is an exception... or rather, your world is an exception.
It’s coming back soon.”
