The people are collapsing, and the identities of the Star Scourge are exposed! - Chapter 99
【”Our archaeologists discovered a small electronic book from Wataum”】
【”This should be the missionaries of this base who handed these pamphlets to the caravans passing by to convey their beliefs.”】
【”We found interesting content in it.”
The voice of the archaeologists of the Scourge Empire sounded on the light screen.
They found a damaged small electronic book from the abandoned trade outpost.
The archaeologists quickly began to restore the content of this small electronic book.
All living beings in the universe could not help but cast curious eyes, wondering what exactly was recorded in this small electronic book.
“What do the Wataums believe in?”
“Why is their faith not accepted?”
“Hurry up and restore it to have a look!”
Under the extremely curious eyes of the universe, the contents of the Wataum e-book slowly appeared on the screen…..
【””What a big lie!!!”
On the screen, the first sentence of the electronic book suddenly lit up.
The sentient beings in the universe were stunned, but the rest of the content made them stare even wider.
【”Only lies! Our world is filled with nothing but big lies!”】
【”Open your eyes, you fools among the stars! Open your eyes and look at this fake world!”】
【”Everything you see is just fake modeling!!”】
【”All your emotions are just jumping of code!!”】
【”All your actions are just pre-programmed!!”】
【”What you see is the cage built by the slave owners, the shackles made of iron chains of 0 and 1!”】
【”The world is just data running on a CPU, and the universe is just a stupid VR game!”】
【”The Creator makes us suffer just to suck our blood for his own pleasure!”】
【”Open your eyes and take a look!”】
【”There is only falsehood, no truth!”】
【”There is only falsehood, no truth!”】
【”There is only falsehood, no truth!”】
【”Come and join us in breaking free from the shackles of virtual reality!”
Seeing the words full of fanaticism, madness and enthusiasm on the screen, all beings in the universe were shocked.
“Break free……The shackles of virtual reality?!”
Liu Ying’s eyes widened slightly, and she looked at the text on the screen in disbelief.
Outside the cave, the cold wind blew the rocks and made them creak.
Inside the cave, the bonfire burned fiercely, covering the faces of the three people with an orange-yellow veil.
Zhou Xuan, the emperor of the Calamity Empire, with a lazy look on his face, was leaning against the rock wall of the cave, turning his fingers to roast fish.
Everything seemed so real, without any falsehood at all.
Liu Ying didn’t think that this world was false at all, but…..
Even the emperor of the Calamity Empire admitted it himself…….This world is indeed fictional.
This made Liuying’s eyes fall on the line on the screen…….
【”Breaking free from the shackles of virtual reality”】
“Breaking free from the shackles of virtual reality, do the Votaum people actually know how to break free from this virtual reality?”
Liu Ying slightly widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Xuan, the emperor of the Scourge Empire.
Zhou Xuan smiled lightly, waved his hand and said:
“Let’s continue to watch.”
Looking at the smile on Zhou Xuan’s face, Liuying blinked in confusion.
At this moment, the text on the screen changed, showing the second half of the content:
【”Go and resist! Go and break free!”】
【”Destroy this virtual reality system with death!”】
【”Only death can free us from our shackles and lead us directly to the true reality.”】
【”Only the deaths of millions can break the stability of this virtual reality system!”】
【”Let’s fight back with collective sacrifice! We will meet again in reality!”】
“This?!”
All living beings in the universe looked at the words on the screen and felt that it was incomprehensible and absurd.
“Wataum believes that by committing suicide one can escape from the virtual game system and reach the real reality?”
“It takes not one person’s suicide, but millions of people committing suicide to destroy the stability of the virtual game system!”
“Madmen, pure madmen! Is there something wrong with the brains of their entire race?!”
What horrified everyone in the universe the most was that
Wataum even thoughtfully included a recommended method of collective suicide at the end of the booklet.
【Mass suicide method: large antimatter bomb】
【Death toll: A (depends on bomb size!)】
【Mortality rate: A+ (almost no chance of survival!)】
【Cost: C (somewhat difficult for lower civilizations)】
【Comfort: A+ (no pain, just a moment!)】
【Method of collective suicide: Falling of an elevator] (ahcd)
【Death toll: A (Orbital fall of a massive object, as powerful as a small or medium antimatter bomb)）】
【Mortality rate: B+ (a small chance of survival, but almost no chance of survival at the bottom)）】
【Cost: B (Relatively easy to master technology! The first choice for low-level civilizations）】
【Comfort level: B (it will be painful, but worth it!)】
【Method of mass suicide: Buried in underground tunnels】
【Death toll: S (theoretically a highly efficient way to exterminate an entire civilization!)】
【Mortality rate: A (unless you are an underground stone man!)】
【Cost: C (cheap and good!)】
【Comfort level: D (extremely uncomfortable, but please be patient!)]
All the creatures in the universe looked at the various methods of collective suicide presented on the screen, and their expressions suddenly became strange and distorted.
They really felt the absurdity of the world.
One day they could actually see the evaluation of collective suicide methods. The most absurd thing was that these collective suicide methods were all tested by Wataum himself.
“Damn! This is a bunch of lunatics! The whole civilization is completely crazy.���！！”
“Did a donkey kick their brains?! Or are they suffering from collective hysteria?!”
“I think that Wataum, like the Scourge Empire, is suffering from collective hysteria!”
All living beings in the universe are completely unable to understand Wataum’s thinking.
“……Did they succeed?”
Liuying couldn’t help but look at Zhou Xuan and asked softly:
“Through this collective suicide, have they really escaped from the virtual reality game and reached the real reality?”
Silver Wolf on the side also looked at Zhou Xuan with curiosity.
Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly:”Of course not.”
“”Hiss!” Silver Wolf shuddered:”So this group of Votoms just repeat collective suicide like this, without realizing that their path is wrong?”
“No.”
Zhou Xuan shook his head again, chuckled and said:
“Wataum does have the technology to observe a higher level of reality.”
“So they quickly determined……None of the deceased in the mass suicide reached a higher level of reality.”
“As for the real reality, it is nothing but wishful thinking.”
“So, what did they do afterwards?” Liuying asked curiously.
“They think that not enough people died.” Zhou Xuan said calmly.
“Huh? ?”
A huge question mark appeared on Liuying’s head.
At this moment, a voice sounded on the light screen
【”We have discovered a small Votaum satellite whose function is to send a message repeatedly until it runs out of energy.”】
【”We take out���Its transmitter, and extracted some information from it……”】
【”The purpose of this satellite is to announce the latest research successes of Votom to nearby civilizations.”】
As the voices of the Scourge Empire’s researchers rang out, a broadcast translated into different civilization languages was played.
【”According to our latest reality penetration test research, the martyrs did not reach reality.”】
【”We are deeply saddened by this and mourn our failures and deaths.”】
【”But after recalculation and statistical confirmation by our scientists…….”】
【”It turns out that the number of suicides is too small!”】
【”According to new research, it would only take billions of people committing suicide simultaneously to truly destabilize virtual reality.”】
“Crazy! You think not enough people died?!”
“This civilization has gone completely crazy and is still promoting their fallacies and heresies!”
“This is too crazy!”
Everyone in the universe was stunned. They didn’t expect that after millions of people died in vain, the Wataums still insisted on their own views and believed that the reason they couldn’t reach reality was that there were too few suicides.
【”…….We know that the beings among the stars have lost their trust in us”】
Just as the creatures in the universe were cursing Wataum, a line of text appeared on the screen:
【”In other words, the civilizations among the stars never trusted us and thought we were lunatics and crazy people.”】
【”But we do see a higher level of reality, a higher level of being that shapes our world.”】
【”We even found a console partially hidden beneath the surface, and figured out some way to crudely manipulate it.”】
【”If we were eager to expand, we could have already expanded the borders of the Votaum Star Council to the edge of the universe with this technology.”】
【”But we didn’t do that. We hoped to gain the understanding of all beings in the universe with truth and facts.”】
【”I hope to gather the wisdom of all beings among the stars to explore the appearance of reality.”】
In the light curtain, the voice of the Wataums paused:
【”Instead of taking the risk of suicide, testing the virtual reality system again and again”】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
【”According to our calculations, when mass suicides occurred, the system usage of the virtual reality system did fluctuate.”】
【”But we cannot determine whether mass suicide reduces or increases the system usage of the VR system.”】
【”The latter can increase the performance pressure of the virtual reality system, and hopefully tear open a hole and allow our race to reach reality.”】
【”We will test this hypothesis and seek opportunities by committing suicide as a whole race.”】
【”If we succeed, it means that a large population reduction will put pressure on the system, and a large number of suicides can cause the system to lag.”】
【”If we fail, it means that a large increase in population will put pressure on the system, and a large population reproduction can cause the system to lag.”】
【”We are terrified, after all, the consequence of failure is the fall of our entire civilization.”】
【”But we cannot give up the pursuit of truth just because we are afraid of the possible consequences.”】
Looking at the words of the Votaum race on the light screen, which were almost like their last words, the accusations of all beings in the universe stopped.
In the Black Tower Space Station, the three geniuses were silent as death as they looked at the scene on the light screen.
“I……I don’t praise people.”
“Not to mention praising a civilization.”
Heita scratched his hair and whispered:
“But Wataum, they are worthy of respect”[]
“Their research is valuable……”
ScrewGum gently took off the hat on his head and placed it on his chest:
“To a martyr in his quest for truth”
“As they say, we cannot give up the pursuit of truth just because of fear.”
On the company’s ship, Doctor Zhen held his face up and looked at the dazzling stars flowing outside the window.
“Can’t we give up the pursuit of truth just because of fear?”
Doctor Truth muttered to himself, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He believed in the truth and spread the truth because in his opinion…….
Truth can benefit most people in the world, but Wataum denied his view.
He sought truth just for the sake of seeking truth.
On this great road, he would not hesitate to sacrifice the entire race.
Truth will not bring any reward to sentient beings. Truth itself is the reward.
Doctor Truth could not help but close his eyes and muttered to himself:
“Is this the only way to pursue the truth?”
“Am I really a mediocre person?”
“Did they succeed?” Silver Wolf raised his head and looked at Zhou Xuan and asked.
Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly:”They took the wrong path.”
“Whether increasing or decreasing the population, at most it can only reach a higher level of reality, but it cannot reach the true reality.”
“Is there any difference?” Liuying beside him showed some confusion.
Zhou Xuan smiled:
“We, you and many other universes are indeed a game”
“It is a product of computer calculation in a higher level of reality, a simulated virtual reality.”
“But these are all set, and they are the settings written in the real existence.”
“He set our universe in a game, but in fact our universe is in a book”
“This?” Liuying’s eyes were full of confusion.
The silver wolf beside him seemed to understand.
“I understand”
“All of our universes are essentially the contents of a book, which sets our universes up as games.”
“Even if we get out of this game, we have only reached a higher reality, but not the real reality?”
“That’s right.” Zhou Xuan nodded slightly.
“Can…..In this case, wouldn’t Wataum’s sacrifice be in vain?”Liu Ying couldn’t help but clench her hands.
“How could it be in vain?”
Zhou Xuan shook his head:
“The first explorers crossed the mountains and reached the seaside”
“So, they came to the realization that the edge of the world is an endless sea.”
“This is of course a wrong perception, but does this perception have no price?”
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said:
“If you don’t know the existence of the sea, how can you fly to the stars?”
Just as Zhou Xuan was speaking, a voice sounded on the light curtain:
【”We left everything on Votaumur, our home planet.”】
【”If we fail, may you inherit everything we have and continue to pursue truth and reality.”】
【”May we meet again in the real world”】
(There may be only two updates today. I went out during the day. I will make up for the one I owe tomorrow.）
