From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 342 The Story Comes into Reality
With Luo Ji's intelligence, he could naturally guess why Zhang Heng went to such a long detour to tell him such a story.

Zhang Heng compared the "Pangu civilization" to a farmer, and the universe to a farm. Human civilization, the Three-Body civilization, and even other civilizations in the universe are nothing more than herds of livestock on the farm.

After all, Yan had mentioned the concept of the metaverse to him once before, that there are other universes outside the current universe.

Therefore, it was not difficult for him to understand the content of the story Zhang Heng was telling and what he wanted to express.

"Are you the animal that the farmer took to another farm?"

When he heard Zhang Heng's story about the farmer taking an animal from one of the farms to other farms, he finally couldn't help but speak.

The reason why he asked this was because he felt that Zhang Heng would definitely not tell a story that had nothing to do with him or Zhang Heng himself.

Since this story has nothing to do with him, it can only be related to Zhang Heng himself.

Therefore, in the story told by Zhang Heng, the animal that was taken to another farm by the farmer was most likely Zhang Heng himself.

However, Zhang Heng just smiled, neither admitting nor denying, and continued to tell the sequel of the story: "The animal was very lucky. Even though it suffered a lot because of this, it also gained abilities that it had never imagined before, enough to escape its current fate."

"So, even though it is not grateful to the farmer, it has never resented the farmer in its heart."

"If the farmer hadn't let it see what's outside the farm, then its world would only be as big as the farm where it originally lived."

"Or maybe not that big. If it's a turkey, then its world might be as small as a chicken coop."

"After all, for most animals living on farms, except for a few that can be let out to graze, they usually spend their entire lives in their own pens, or cages."

Having said this, Zhang Heng paused for a moment.

While Zhang Heng was pausing, Luo Ji also quickly digested this information.

Soon, his reading comprehension was also accomplished.

The so-called animals that can be herded here refer to the powerful civilizations in the universe.

The previous confrontation between the Three-Body Civilization and human civilization could also be told in this way if it were put into this version of the story.

Human civilization is a group of turkeys, and the Three-Body civilization is a group of black pigs that are slightly larger than turkeys.

Due to the negligence of the farmer, the environment in the pigsty where the black pigs live has become extremely bad.

The black pigs are unable to solve the problem of their living environment, and from time to time they will suffer from swine fever, killing many pigs.

Then, suddenly one day, they discovered turkeys living next to them.

So they decided to rob the turkey pen and escape from the poor environment in which they originally lived.

The turkeys in the chicken pen were shocked by the size and strength of the black pig. They even thought that the black pig was the farmer. They didn't know that the black pig was also a member of the farm...

While Luo Ji was still thinking, Zhang Heng's voice sounded again: "If it always stays like this, then there's nothing wrong with it."

“Farmers have their own ideas, and the animals on the farm have their own ways of living.”

"As for the turkey that is taken to another farm, as long as it follows the farmer's ideas and satisfies the farmer's bad taste, it will also live a very happy life."

"but……"

"One day, the farmer suddenly disappeared, and the farms he left behind became ownerless..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Heng's tone became a little heavy.

"That Pangu civilization disappeared?"

Luo Ji thought to himself.

This time he did not interrupt and waited quietly for Zhang Heng to continue.

However, even if Zhang Heng didn't say it, he could guess what was going to happen next.

After all, it is obvious what ownerless farms will mean.

It will simply attract the covetousness of other farmers, or if the farm is left unattended, it will attract the attention of wolves and tigers.

"After the farmer disappears, no one knows what will happen to other farms."

"However, the turkey that was brought to the current farm by the farmer has completely experienced the disaster that would happen to the farm if the owner were gone..."

Sure enough, what Zhang Heng said next was almost the same as what Luo Ji had thought.

Basically, they are all about the various disasters that the turkey has encountered in its current farm.

However, Zhang Heng then talked about "turkey" and "black pig".

First of all, the turkey flock that this turkey has been integrated into on the current farm is also threatened by the powerful black pig herd in the pigpen next door.

Then, thanks to a turkey, it was discovered that there were actually ferocious animals such as lions and tigers on the farm.

In addition, a deterrent measure was established. If the black pig dared to continue threatening the chicken coop, the turkey would set its own chicken coop on fire to inform the lions, tigers, or other powerful animals on the farm.

Since the black pigs are also afraid of the lions and tigers in the farm, they will come and kill them after knowing the existence of the black pigs, so they can only be deterred by the turkeys.

In this way, the black pig and the turkey lived in peace for a while.

Until one day, the turkey who established the deterrent method became old, and the other turkeys, out of distrust of him, asked him to give the authority to light the chicken coop to a younger turkey.

And this old and great turkey did just that!
But what happened next was not as good as most turkeys had imagined. The young turkey who took over the task of lighting the chicken coop messed things up.

The conflict between turkeys and black pigs is once again on the verge of breaking out.

Finally, a group of turkeys that had left the chicken coop informed the wild animals on the farm through other means, letting the wild animals on the farm know the location of the chicken coop and pigpen.

In the end, both the chicken coop and the pig pen were completely eaten up by the beasts who received the location information...

Only a small number of turkeys and black pigs were able to escape from the chicken coop and pigpen before the wild beasts arrived.

This also includes the turkey that did not originally belong to the farm.

"The turkeys and black pigs you mentioned...could they also be human civilization and Trisolaran civilization?"

At this moment, Luo Ji spoke with a pale face.

Unexpectedly, the metaphor I had just thought of in my mind would also appear in Zhang Heng's story.

"Could it be that what you said at the beginning, that the farmer likes to let the animals on the farm play roles, which will repeat endlessly, is what you are referring to."

"What happened between human civilization and Trisolaran civilization has actually happened more than once?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, will the pigsty and chicken coop be eaten up by wild beasts, just like what happened to the turkey?"

Luo Ji continued to ask.

He also noticed what Zhang Heng had just said, that the disaster would also happen to the farmer.

That is to say, even if the farmer did not disappear, some things would definitely happen, such as what happened between the turkey and the black pig.

Because this is one of the farmer's favorite stories, so it will be repeated over and over again among the animals on the current farm.

"Yes."

Zhang Heng nodded. He had almost finished telling the story, so he began to answer Luo Ji: "The only difference that will come from the disappearance of the farmer is that other farmers will be attracted."

"Without the intervention of other farmers, the farm will eventually become what it should be."

"What happened in the end?" Luo Ji couldn't wait to know the follow-up and asked, "What happened to the few turkeys and black pigs that managed to escape the claws of the beasts, and the turkey that didn't originally belong to this farm?"

"Also, if the current universe is what you call a universe that will continue to repeat itself according to the will of Pangu civilization."

"Everything in the current universe has been repeated countless times, so how is this possible?"

Luo Ji asked all the questions at once, one after another, without any pause.

After listening to Zhang Heng's story, he felt terrible.

Even the cosmic view began to collapse.

If it is said that there are other universes besides the current universe, he can still barely accept it.

After all, there is the concept of parallel universe in human civilization, so it is not surprising.

However, if after the heat death of the universe, it will start again and again, everything will happen again just as it happened before.

This was not something he could accept at the moment.

Everything has a beginning and an end, and the universe will eventually end in heat death. This is an eternal truth discovered by countless human predecessors.

Born in human civilization and educated in human civilization, how can our cognition be overturned all of a sudden?

So, he is very confused now!
However, reason told him that it was impossible for Zhang Heng to come and talk nonsense to him.

Moreover, since Zhang Heng is that special turkey, these must be Zhang Heng’s personal experiences.

At this moment, he also remembered what the angel Yan said to him when he met the angel after he had a conversation with the Three-Body World in front of Ye Wenjie's tomb.

Angel Yan said that the reason she looked for him was for someone.

Once upon a time, something he couldn't understand now, that person was also on Earth.

And he obviously had a close relationship with that person in the past.

When thinking about this sentence now, Luo Ji immediately understood that the person sitting opposite him might be the person that Angel Yan was talking about.

Combining the above and the other, he felt even less likely that Zhang Heng would come here specifically to entertain him.

While Luo Ji's mind was spinning rapidly, Zhang Heng also answered: "First question, the few turkeys and black pigs that managed to escape the claws of the beasts should all be living well, and should be no worse than that special turkey."

"In fact, not long ago, when that special turkey returned to the destroyed and rebuilt farm, it also met the descendants of the lucky turkeys."

"It is certain that they still exist somewhere on the farm or other farms."

"The second question is the one you're wondering about, and I'm also very confused about it."

"Why Pangu Civilization could make the same things appear in each universe under its name all the time is beyond my comprehension."

"However, among the farmers, that is, the civilization at the level of Pangu civilization, there is such a concept."

"In order to prevent the universe from self-heat death, a civilization at that level will restart the universe at a specific time..."

Afterwards, Zhang Heng explained to Luo Ji the concept of the universe returning to zero and restarting.

At the same time, it is also made clear that what will repeat are only the various meta-universes under the name of Pangu civilization.

The metaverse under the name of other civilizations will not have such special circumstances.

Everything that was in the last universe zero cycle has been restarted and is truly gone forever.

In fact, the so-called repetition of Pangu's metaverse is essentially the same as that of other civilization metaverses. Things will disappear forever after being reset to zero.

The two are essentially the same.

After all, how can anything be exactly alike?

They just look the same!
And all things in the metaverse of other civilizations will disappear forever. Are they really gone?

No.

There is only so much matter in the entire universe. No matter how many times it restarts, the matter will still be the original matter.

So, can we say it disappeared?
The only difference is that Pangu civilization continues to present itself in the previous way, while other civilizations just let nature take its course.

After a long while, Luo Ji finally digested what Zhang Heng said, as well as the so-called concept of zero reset.

Then, he exhaled lightly: "Then can I understand it this way, that you were actually brought to the present universe by the Pangu civilization during the so-called zero-reset cycle of the previous universe, and then lived on Earth like us?"

"And, at that time, you and I not only knew each other, but also had a very good relationship."

"It's just that you didn't have the ability you have now, nor did you have the ability to change the direction of the story set by the Pangu civilization."

"When the deterrent I had established against the Trisolaran civilization failed, you, who had been specially cared for by the Pangu civilization, naturally knew that both the Trisolaran civilization and human civilization would eventually be doomed, so you also left the solar system."

"After that, you experienced a long period of drifting in the current universe until the universe was reset to zero and restarted."

"And finally, after you had your current abilities, you came back here?"

Luo Ji further explained.

After Zhang Heng said so much, he now completely understood who Zhang Heng was.

That is the one in the so-called Enlightener faction, the Enlightener.

Today, several civilizations in the solar system, even including the angel civilization, belong to the faction of this Enlightener.

Luo Ji continued: "I heard from the Angel King that you once had regrets here."

"So, you came back here again to make up for your past regrets and change the things you wanted to change?"

Although Yan said to him, Zhang Heng might not care now.

But he felt that since Zhang Heng appeared in front of him, it was impossible that he didn't care at all.

Of course, I still want to do something.
