Xiling Empire

Chapter 1,267 The Girl Who Is About to Go Down in History

In fact, what I'm a little worried about is whether Anulili can accept that her compatriots have turned into a bunch of glowing mosaics - or whether she can accept that a bunch of glowing mosaics are her compatriots. Of course, in my personal opinion, this is nothing. It may be because I have been with the Xiling Apostles for a long time, or it may be because I have been dealing with all kinds of strange intelligent races in Shadow City all day long. My ability to accept racial forms is not generally high now. , I can basically regard anything that can think as an intelligent species: if you don’t have this ability to accept, then you won’t be able to survive in the Shadow City. This place can even encounter an iron ball or even a puddle of jelly on the roadside. Probably more intelligent than you... but Anulili may not think so. In any case, this girl has not seen much of the world. She may be able to accept the weird looks of other races, but she may not be used to her ancestors even changing their avatars to colorful ones.

And I also worry about whether those spirit creatures will be able to integrate into local life after returning home: it can be said that except for their souls, they have now completely transformed into a completely new species. They no longer eat or drink water. They no longer have the emotions that are partially restricted by the physical body. They only need to go to the ionosphere every month to blow in the wind to survive, and their minds are still full of knowledge from at least seven hundred years ago-it is said that every three years Generation gap, how deep do you think the gap is between these ancestors and Anulili’s generation?

Can Anulili and her compatriots accept the sudden return of such a group of ancestors who have left the human form? Can these ancestor spirits get used to it? Can they still recognize each other as compatriots? The old humans in Gaodari fought with the new humans just because of a few DNA problems. Now these ancestor spirits don't even have cell nuclei...

sometimes. The gap caused by life forms and world views is very troublesome.

We can imagine the most likely scenario: those resurrected ancestral spirits are first of all more powerful than ordinary species. Then after they return to their own race, they will have authority and knowledge (of course, power) like gods, and Ordinary people may have to unconditionally believe in these ancestor spirits. This situation may be okay at first, but as time goes by... some people may start to challenge the authority, and some people may question that these ancestor spirits are no longer their compatriots, and Became the new aloof "god". Even the ancestor spirits themselves may have problems: can they still tolerate their slow and ignorant compatriots, and wait patiently for hundreds of years for these "primitive people" to catch up with them? We can't belittle others easily, but we can't regard everyone as a saint. Species like the gods and Xiling apostles are not everywhere. Just don’t think about these things. Once you start to think about them, you will find that reality is full of fucked-up places.

While Anulili was communicating with her ancestors, Gaia and I waited outside in boredom. Gaia was holding a round self-disciplined machine in a daze with a smile on her face. A large group of at least dozens of self-disciplined machines gathered around her, which made Gaia feel like she had a group of pet dogs. I guess she is usually in this state when she is alone, while I am thinking about the above-mentioned inconspicuous things in my mind. After a while. When Gaia had already begun to name the autonomous machine, I finally couldn't help it and poured out all my messy thoughts to Gaia.

The blue phantom female had a faint smile on her face, and she gently stroked the round body of the autonomous machine in her arms. After thinking for a while, she chuckled: "Your Majesty, do you think it will be great to be with me?" Is it strange? Do you feel that when you communicate with me, you feel that you are not of my race, or that you have a sense of distance that cannot be understood through words? "

"Of course not," I said, seeing Gaia playing very happily. So he bent down curiously and picked up a small ball-like robot. The latter made a series of chirping sounds: What's so fun about this? "But this situation is different. I'm very familiar with you, and I have a strong ability to accept myself. No matter how strange the creature is, I can treat it as one of my own. Otherwise, it would be impossible to live this life. There are all kinds of birds and animals in the house, including I have unified the animal world with foxes and crows...well, including Lilina. I guess it also includes the plant world..."

"In fact, there is no difference. If it is for a goal and focus on an idea, anyone can unite. Differences in life forms, worldviews, and even perception methods will not destroy this unity." Gaia sat volleying in the air , she seems to be in a very good mood, probably every time I come to the home planet to accompany her, she will be in a very good mood, "Your Majesty, you once lived as a human being, and you also have a human world view. When you first met us, and when you met When you came to the intelligent race in another world, you also showed great surprise and wariness. But now in less than five years, you have accepted everything calmly. As long as it is a species under the rule of the empire, you can do it. To treat everyone equally: even if their appearance is incompatible with your original human worldview. You should also believe in that girl and her compatriots. At this critical moment when the race re-rises, no one will stop because of this gap, at least in No one will have such a problem in the general direction of the whole clan: because it is simply too stupid. As for the possible conflicts you mentioned... indeed, they may appear on a small scale, and friction and sacrifice are impossible. It can be avoided, but it will never affect the overall situation. Besides, there are so many races in the macro world, and they can all live in harmony, so why do there have to be divisions between people who should be compatriots in the first place?"

In fact, I want to remind Gaia that sometimes races other than the Xiling Apostles will have this annoying situation: they can often have friendly exchanges with other races, but once there is a top-notch person among themselves, there will be a small wave of People can just blow their brains out. But after thinking about it, what Gaia said makes sense. I was such an ignorant person back then, but now I can calmly accept that my family is the same as the animal world. What kind of nonsense do I have to worry about...

We waited outside for a long time, and there was indeed a lot to say between Anulili and her ancestral spirits. Gaia had previously told the ancestral spirits the entire cause and effect of the empire's expedition to the Merova people, as well as what happened in between, but Anulili certainly knew more from her perspective. same. Those ancestral spirits who have gone through the most incredible reincarnation process that an intelligent creature can go through also have a lot to tell their descendants. While waiting, Gaia and I chatted for a while, enjoying the somewhat lonely tranquility on our home planet. Our topics started from the unforgettable first encounter a few years ago and extended to thoughts. During Pandora's expedition plan, Gaia also mentioned the events of her sister's previous life: after the conceptual separation was lifted, she had recovered all the memories of her previous emperor. From Gaia's words, I finally knew what kind of person my sister was tens of thousands of years ago:

A ruler who has only a moderate interest in opening up new territories but is very keen on developing various new technologies. He has the same indestructible will and execution as all Xiling apostles. There is also a human side, and occasionally it gets a headache because Pandora is happily planning a lot of conquest plans, but the focus of Tian District's work happens to be on a certain scientific research project. She used to have an extremely close relationship with Alaya because she liked the soft and warm feeling of angel wings. When Gaia mentioned her sister's past life, she couldn't help but have a nostalgic look on her face. She expressed her opinion: "At that time, His Majesty was an unsmiling person who focused on opening up new territories in the field of research and development instead of Go on an expedition to some low-value barbaric world. She pays great attention to efficiency and does not like to repeat an order twice. Occasionally she will argue with Pandora about armaments: Pandora always recommends building more and stronger super artillery, and the child feels that As long as it is completely covered with artillery fire, the will of the empire will naturally be implemented, and His Majesty always likes to use surprise troops and new technologies with unexpected effects to achieve his goals. But in any case, His Majesty and Pandora had a very good relationship back then—— Apart from occasionally patting the latter on the head and saying to herself, 'When will this child not care about his size?', it would make Pandora lose her temper..."

"You miss her so much?" I finally couldn't help but say after seeing Gaia's lonely expression. Apostle Xiling is also a creature with emotions.

"For more than four years, I never thought that His Majesty would always be by my side." Gaia smiled and shook her head. "Now that I see her, I feel a sense of familiarity in my soul, but she has changed. She is no longer the emperor she was back then, and she doesn’t remember many things, so we old subordinates feel a little bit disappointed, but I think... maybe this is also a good thing."

I looked at Gaia with some surprise.

"It's time for her to rest. Her rule has lasted for hundreds of millions of years and she has never rested. Apostle Xiling will not be trapped by fatigue, but if she can put down her burden like now, I think it is a good thing," Gaia Look over with a smile. "And more importantly - you have taken over this burden. The empire will continue to move forward, everyone will have their place, and we old subordinates do not have to worry about the future. Nostalgic for the past is not what Xiling Apostle should do, we just need to look forward. That’s it.”

I can feel a heavy trust in Gaia's words. If it were me many years ago, I might not even have the courage to assume this trust. But now, I just nodded with confidence: "Don't worry, You won’t be disappointed.”

"Then we will continue to move forward behind you," Gaia suddenly put her hand on the back of my hand, and I felt a numb and warm touch of 72 Hz, "I will also trust you, unconditionally. "

At this moment, Anulili finally learned everything from the three ancestor spirits, and the triangular cone-shaped building opened. I saw a thin girl walking in the front, and behind her were three spiritual creatures floating in the air, like some kind of guardian spirit. Anulili had an irrepressible bright smile on her face and a look of surprise that had not completely faded away. Judging from the atmosphere, their communication seemed to be going smoothly. I greeted them from a distance: "Hey! Are you finished?"

"Thank you, really, thank you," Anulili came to me, her expression was excited and even a little incoherent, "...I don't know how to express my feelings now. I really didn't expect what you said. The surprise turns out to be...our people will definitely be overjoyed, this surprise has completely exceeded expectations."

"I hope you can adapt to the completely different life forms of both sides as soon as possible," I chuckled. It may be easy for two species with completely different life forms to get along, but if the life forms are completely different. In essence, they are compatriots, and they have to deal with problems completely in the same way as the same clan. This is a relatively high-end social and humanities subject. "I have prepared a transport ship. You are going to take away more than just these three ancestors' spirits." , and there are thousands more.”

"Yes, I can't wait to take them back!" Anulili happily grabbed my hand and shook it around. Then she realized that this subconscious action was a bit reckless, revealing a simple and a bit silly look. Smile, "Ah, sorry, sorry... um... can I leave as soon as possible?"

Of course I nodded. Although she really wanted her to play in the Shadow City for a few more days, it was obvious that the other party was not just hanging out now. She still had a devastated world waiting to be rebuilt: this girl had a long way to go, and those who saved the world at the age of fourteen had a lot to do with it. She probably wouldn't be able to raise her head even if she stood there.

The significance of these ancestral spirits to Anulili's race is very obvious.

What does a racial reconstruction require?

Knowledge, inheritance, and cultural system of generations. Lost technology... these things can all be summed up in one word: history.

What Anulili and the others lack most now is history. They have the most serious history of all slave races. The Merovas have almost wiped out all their knowledge except eating, sleeping and working. Now only the resistance organizations still hold some sporadic information from that year. For the entire reconstruction goal, that bit of information cannot be said to be a drop in the bucket, but it is almost enough. After thousands of years, they even forgot the original name of their race.

And these ancestral spirits bring with them the "history" they urgently need.

The main will of the ancestor spirits almost all comes from the first generation of humans who fought against the Merova people (the humans here of course refer to Anulili's race). These people persist to this day because of their strong resistance. They included members of every field of humanity at the time, except for the military. It also includes scientists from all walks of life. The latter are even more numerous than the number of soldiers. After all, most of the soldiers had died on the battlefield, and only the scientists were captured in large numbers by the Merovas after the war. They have a large amount of technical data from mankind back then, and they also have a glorious picture of the entire civilization back then in their memories.

Culture, beliefs, technology, traditions. From customs all the way to past history, they have it all.

Although due to quantity limitations, these information will not be complete, but for a wasteland civilization that is in urgent need of reconstruction. This is an incredibly generous gift.

With excitement, Anulili took away 6,700 ancestor spirits from us - this number was more than the large royal starship we faced back then, because there were many human brain array hosts and It was not installed, but was stored as a spare in the underground warehouse of the Kingdom of God. She left the imperial capital that afternoon and embarked on her glorious journey home.

Perhaps this girl has not yet realized how significant a mark she will leave in the history of her own race.

The young rebel cadre who rose up in the slave war, the legendary girl who brought the spirits of her ancestors back to her homeland, and the person who made great contributions to rebuilding civilization - she is not yet the leader of her own race, but I suddenly feel that I am afraid that she really will be in the future. To reach this position, as long as she accumulates enough qualifications, Anulili has the capital. I can almost imagine that many, many years later, Anulili’s name will appear in the middle and high school history textbooks of their race, with the following titles:

May I ask whether our great heroine Anulili brought back the spirit of the ancestors in XX? (5 points empty)

How many ancestral spirits were there in total who returned home at that time? (3 points empty)

What profound impact did the heroine Anulili’s actions have on our clan? Please describe briefly based on your own understanding. (Essay question, full score 12 points)

Then Anulili will definitely be rated as the most feared historical figure among middle and high school students, just like the white-bearded old men who hung on the wall in my high school teaching building back then, and was rated as the nightmare of middle school students... You said Is there any way to fix my problem of going off topic in my free time?

Because Gaia was still busy working on the grand plan of cloud storage throughout the shadow space, I didn't bother her anymore. The headquarters still had some things I wanted to confirm, so I didn’t go home, but went directly to Shadow City.

The assembly square of Shadow Fortress is still as orderly as usual - I mean, there are actually not many people here at all, so it is orderly. There is currently no war in the empire, so the assembly square is naturally empty. Several Scorpion soldiers were on duty at their posts, looking like steel sculptures when they were motionless. Seeing my appearance, the nearest Scorpion Soldier immediately saluted: "Your Majesty!"

I nodded, and finally couldn't help but raise my finger and point at the only guy in the assembly square who looked out of place with the surrounding environment: "Who is that?"

In the assembly square where idlers should be strictly exempted, there is a girl wandering around. I have seen her since just now: she is a very tall woman, with a side face that looks like she is about twenty years old, with a shawl. He has long flaxen hair. Although he is wearing an Imperial military uniform, his behavior of wandering around the military stronghold as if he is lost is not like an Imperial soldier: not even the most mischievous Raven 001 will wander around this place.

What I didn't expect at all was that the scorpion soldiers standing guard here actually showed shocked expressions: "Your Majesty! This subordinate didn't see her at all... Please wait a moment!"

Then the Scorpion Soldier, who thought she had seriously neglected her duty, rushed forward, but I saw her turn back in embarrassment as soon as she met the strange woman, and the girl with long flaxen hair also followed her.

"Hello! Your Majesty the Emperor - well, His Majesty the Emperor, that's right." A strange girl with long flaxen hair stood in front of me and greeted me very familiarly and enthusiastically. I was attracted by this. The mature character was stunned for a moment, and then noticed a small sign hanging on her chest, with a line of words written on it like a dog crawling:

"Xiling, if you find it, please contact the military department. Thank you."

...It's a shallow handwriting. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
