For humans who are naturally conceited and think they are primates of all things, sugar coating sometimes doesn't matter. They also need some poison to beat them at any time.
Hao Zhi smiled. It's true that sometimes religion appears as a kind face, but the deterrence behind it is a legend about hell. You can't move a person just by telling him to do good in heaven. You have to tell him that doing evil will go to hell.
So there is only one heaven in all religions, and the types of hell are as detailed as the menu of a restaurant.
"What about later? Where did the five elders go?"
They have returned to the universe. They re input the knowledge they have learned from their 100000 years of cosmic exploration into the crystal skull, and then bid farewell to the earth again. This time, they will go further. It is said that they want to explore the edge of the universe. When they come back next time, they don't know when
"Wipe! What a pity!" Hao Zhiyi stamped his foot, "that means we don't care, we'll live and die! These irresponsible old guys!"
"In fact, they have nothing to do with the earth..." the prophet smiled, "As the representatives of the earth civilization in the first season, they have evolved to the point of breaking away from the parent star and exploring the universe. On that macro scale, they don't care about the gains and losses of a city at all. How the future fate of the earth is no longer important to them. It's like if you want to move, you will worry that the cockroaches and mice at home will be taken away without anyone feeding them?"
"I just didn't expect that the earth itself has already had a divine civilization. It's a great pity for us not to communicate and learn from them!" Hao Zhi couldn't help sighing.
"Before they left, they distributed the Crystal Skull all over the world. It was a gift for earth civilization, and our people also got one of them."
"Is it the one at the entrance?" Hao Zhi asked pleasantly.
"Well, yes, the elder asked us to cast the crystal skull into the metal statue, stand at the mouth of the cave, and wait for one day, a person who mastered space technology will come to ask about its secret. We waited for more than 1000 years, and finally, you appeared! But unfortunately, after too long, you came too late..."
It's too late?
Hao Zhi suddenly felt an ominous premonition: "why do you say that?"
As you know, we live at the bottom of the sea. We can't break through our own evolutionary limitations, go back to land, or break through the gateway of thermal and mechanical energy. We can only maintain at a relatively primitive stage. Many years later, our technology has degenerated into quite primitive, and knowledge is lost from generation to generation.
We no longer belong to this world. Perhaps after the world war 100000 years ago, we have been eliminated by nature. In recent centuries, the gene of undersea people has suddenly mutated, and our fertility has gradually weakened, but we can't find a solution.
Finally, the population began to shrink. Three hundred years ago, the last child of undersea people naturally gave birth and came to the world, marking the death knell of undersea people's extinction
"Is that you?"
No... the voice of the prophet suddenly became sad and heavy. It was 300 years ago. The life span of the undersea people is close to that of you humans, only about 50 years.
"That..." Hao Zhi looked at the prophet in front of him in confusion.
In order to stick to the task of guarding the crystal skull, we found a kind of jellyfish that can parasitize, which is what you see now.
The special bioelectricity in jellyfish makes them like memory modules, which can store biochemical information. Our people parasitize their consciousness into jellyfish before they die, so that life can last another one or two hundred years.
But very helpless, this can not stop the final destruction, can only delay it.
"Oh... No wonder!"
Seventy years ago, the last batch of undersea people died. What was left of our population was a group of invisible jellyfish, and I was the last of these jellyfish. Fortunately, I finally waited for you
"Then you still set up so many mechanisms and guards on it. Otherwise, someone might have found you long ago!" Hao Zhi said discontentedly.
"This is the rule that the elders set when they established the underwater world. Unless someone with space ability appears, no other person is eligible to obtain the secret of crystal skull. I once said that the five elders' ability can travel through space and time. Maybe they have seen what will happen today. This is an unpredictable fact ……”
Ok... Hao Zhi stood up and said, "now you can tell me how to get the knowledge in the crystal skull!"
"Well, the secret of acquiring knowledge lies in light!"
Light?
Yes... The prophet's body twitched, and my time is up. Please remember, remember the lessons left by human history. Knowledge is a double-edged sword. Please lead mankind to the light and don't repeat the mistakes of tragic civilization!
"How can the light be used to open the secret inside?" Hao Zhigang asked. Suddenly, he saw the prophet's jellyfish like body gradually darkening, like a dead bulb.
Wait, wait... Don't die first. You haven't finished talking!
Hao Zhi went up to hold the prophet, but found that his body had begun to curl up and gradually shrunk into a small group, only as big as his fist. Then, a little bit of broken light spots separated, like dissolving in the sea water
Like fine sand, countless blurred light spots scattered from Hao Zhi's fingers and disappeared into the dark hole. He looked up blankly for a long time, like a spring and autumn dream. The long story of the glorious history of hundreds of millions of years and the distant memories of how many people's lives were displayed in front of him. The history of 5000 years of contemporary human civilization, In the long river of Earth years, it is just a small spray, a small ripple.
The prophet took great pains to teach him the knowledge of history instead of simply telling him an answer.
As he said, sugar coating and poison are indispensable. Simply imparting knowledge is tantamount to teaching human suicide! It's like handing a pistol to an ignorant teenager, which is often the most dangerous.
Thinking of this sentence, Hao Zhi suddenly brightened his eyes. He seemed to think of something. He suddenly jumped back to the pyramid and shouted, "I think of it! I think of it..."
Strange, where have people gone?
Hao Zhi turned and looked around, only to find the giant sitting in the distance, leaning against the tower base of the pyramid, lowering his head and burying his head between his knees as at the beginning.
"Hello! Where are our people?" Hao Zhi walked over and asked loudly.
"Those who don't have the qualification of successor... Have all been solved!" the giant replied stiffly.
what? Hao Zhi almost jumped up and solved everything?
