Chapter 5, the game is sacred
"Then go ahead and do it, the game has already begun since the appearance of the high tower," said Yuan Chenfei as he hung up the phone
Liu Li, you have seen it all
Everyone was astonished
What is there that cannot be done? After all, it is not one's own life. What do children often do when they are young? They find an ant nest and pour a kettle of boiling water into it. Is it out of hatred? Is it out of necessity? Is it out of fear? None of these. It is simply a game, it is just for fun. And for the ants, that is a catastrophe.
Yes. The power energy is too outdated. We will phase out this method of energy utilization and hand over to you the new energy block technology. This is a universal energy that can be used for various types of equipment
Because this is their game
Sometimes good intentions do not necessarily lead to good outcomes, let alone the fact that the motives of gods and demons may not even be good
Tian Gong has ceased its response to humanity, replaced by an entirely new world
Yuan Chenfei said: "As long as you understand. Do you still remember what I told you about those things in Liu Yang's memory?"
Upon seeing these words, everyone understood
Yes. The screen once again displayed two large characters
Just remember. Now go do two things. First, buy a batch of medicines. A new era is approaching, and most resources on Earth are becoming abundant and no longer valuable. However, medicines are an exception; some healing drugs still hold value. Stocking up on some will be beneficial for you. Second, go buy a knife, then take to the streets. When you see those mutated or evolved creatures, kill them with one strike. Remember, if you do not want to be eliminated by this era, you must strive hard. Lastly, I suggest you carefully consider what Liu Yang has said about what is important in this new era. This will help guide your future direction. But do not foolishly disclose everything; some resources, if others possess them, you will not have.
"No, this is not absurd," suddenly said Shi Rongzhi, the expert.
When people became aware of all this, the entire world was in an uproar
The white wall responded: "You are too weak, it is not interesting to play. There is a need for enhancement, a need for improvement, a need for evolution"
At 11:00 AM, after the appearance of the Blood-colored Tower, Yuan Chenfei used the last bit of electricity to call Liu Li
They transformed the planet for the sake of the game
Within the celestial palace, one could faintly see undulating mountains and winding rivers, while enormous flying beasts occasionally soared through the sky. The reason it was known that these were gigantic flying beasts was that, in proportion, the body of one such beast completely overshadowed a mountain peak. It flew through the sky, emitting a thunderous roar, and then turned its head to glance back. This glance appeared on the wall, causing everyone present to feel a chill of fear.
But for the sake of the game, isn't this too ridiculous
Shi Rongzhi became increasingly excited as he spoke: "No one can leave the game, as it fulfills our spiritual needs. In the past, during times of insufficient productivity and scarce resources, human society prioritized survival, leaving no time for games. However, as our productivity gradually develops and material conditions become increasingly abundant, games that satisfy our spiritual needs have proliferated, becoming an important part of our lives. Consequently, people's gaming time has been continuously extended. According to survey reports from recent years, the average gaming time per person in our country now exceeds four hours, with a minority of gaming enthusiasts spending an average of ten to sixteen hours a day. This standard does not even include traditional gaming activities such as sports, board games, and singing. This is merely our world. What if we were to consider a super civilization capable of traversing light-years and crossing galaxies, one that need not worry about resources? For those who no longer need to concern themselves with material resources, what do they do in their daily lives?"
The leaders, presidents, and prime ministers of various countries, including China, the United States, and some small and medium-sized countries in Europe, were all left dumbfounded by this response
Is that so
Look... I saw it, my goodness, what Liu Yang said is all true! The incident has occurred for three hours, and Liu Li is still in a state of extreme shock
The image on the white wall appears automatically, and then people discover that as long as they speak to the image, the Heavenly Palace can receive feedback—perhaps even without needing to do that
Due to having already prepared himself mentally, Yuan Chenfei did not waste time feeling lost or panicked; he simply waited quietly.
No matter how they protest, it is meaningless
The two characters for 'game' in the Heavenly Palace gradually faded away, revealing a line of text once again
They only want to see change
This is an energy that changes the essence of life, bestowed by deities and demons. It is said that the reason deities and demons are what they are is because of this energy
Emerging from the distant depths of the universe, arriving here from over ten thousand light-years away, is it merely to transform an entire planet for the sake of playing a game
For the sake of the game, they transformed life
On the white wall, the gods and demons responded: "That is precisely what we wish to see"
How to evolve
Human
"Are you saying that all the changes outside are meant to transform us?" the old man asked
And now, they have also brought this energy to Earth, to this world
Playing games at the cost of life
"Play games," an elderly man blurted out
But that is the behavior of a child. Are you suggesting that everyone in this heavenly palace is a child
On a white wall in the large office, a vast celestial palace is depicted.
Some good things may only be temporary blessings, which could turn into misfortunes in the future
Everyone fell silent at the same time
The five seats represent five powerful divine and demonic races
Shi Rongzhi responded: "In fact, I considered this question a long time ago. If one day, extraterrestrials were to come to Earth, what would they want from us? Resources? A race that can traverse countless light-years to reach Earth, what kind of resources could they not obtain? The vast universe, the infinite starry sky, and various planets are all unclaimed entities, representing countless resources. What significance is there in coming to Earth to plunder?" The vast universe, the infinite starry sky, and various planets are all unclaimed entities, representing countless resources. What significance is there in coming to Earth to plunder?"
In simple terms, it is about defeating monsters to level up
Game
Just as humans do not consider the feelings of laboratory mice
In this game, humans are merely puppets, acting according to the whims of the gods and demons, while the will of humanity is of no significance
Whether you are willing or unwilling
Even adults will go to the zoo
This is utterly absurd In the large office, the prominent figures who hold the fate of the nation simultaneously let out such a sigh
In summary, this is an upgrade game chosen by the gods. They grant humanity the ability to upgrade, and then they watch from there like spectators observing fish in a tank, witnessing their struggles.
However, the gods and demons only granted humanity one day to adapt
Game
Any form of life can absorb this energy to achieve evolution, with one exception.
This is precisely the purpose of the gods and demons, and it was even orchestrated by them—they sealed humanity's ability to directly absorb celestial energy and transformed it into the current mode.
The conversation is still ongoing
However, the earth-shattering changes are bound to bring about significant social upheaval. The veteran politicians are well aware that even if it is a good thing, sudden changes will inevitably lead to various issues from a societal perspective
They have chosen the Earth, they have chosen humanity
Disaster
Shi Rongzhi continued, "Slavery? It is equally meaningless. Beings capable of traversing the universe and transforming planets would not find any value in enslaving us. It is akin to encountering a primitive society; would we find it worthwhile to enslave them? We would consider them as laborers, yet we would disdain their illiteracy. Of course, we might attempt to exert control over such life forms, but that would certainly not be our primary purpose for traveling such a long distance; it would merely be a secondary action taken for some other objective."
Those mists are the special resources we have cast. They will profoundly influence and transform this world, allowing life to evolve once more, while also improving the way energy is utilized in your world
China, Kyoto
Humans cannot evolve by directly absorbing celestial energy, but they can extract energy by hunting evolved beings.
Yuan Chenfei once suspected that before the arrival of the gods, they must have played the human pickling game, which is why they set things up in accordance with human practices. However, a more likely possibility is that this is due to an upgrade, which holds an equivalent significance to the evolution of life, thus becoming a universal truth applicable throughout the universe
This is the day of human suffering, where humanity is no longer the master of all things, but has become the object of domination. The old order is destined to collapse, and a new order is on the rise
For them, this is clearly incomprehensible and unacceptable
Everyone looks towards the white-walled heavenly palace
The two large characters written in Chinese appear in the scene of the Heavenly Palace, making it all the more glaring
It is ... ... indeed
For example, if everyone desires immortality, what would the consequences be if everyone truly became immortal?
"How should this be understood?" an elderly man asked
I understand! Liu Li replied eagerly
Games are sacred
According to Liu Yang's description, this energy is referred to by gods and demons as the Qi of Immortals. As long as one absorbs this energy, one can achieve enhancement and evolution
For deities and demons, they are indifferent to any outcome
This is a day of happiness for humanity, where technology will undergo innovation, and life will evolve. People will no longer have to worry about aging, illness, and death, for in the days to come, human lifespan will be significantly extended, and the probability of falling ill will be minimal
Yuan Chenfei knew that this change came from that green mist
"Why is it laughable? I find it not laughable at all, but rather very real. This is the inevitability of social development!" Shi Rongzhi replied: "When the material resources of a society are highly developed, the spiritual needs that follow will also increase significantly. Not to mention the world of the Heavenly Palace, even in our current world, gaming has already become a massive industry. Traditional games include various card games, board games, mahjong, and at a higher level, sports and competitive events, as well as various electronic games that have emerged with the development of the internet. Even the rich nightlife is part of the gaming experience. In this world, humans can do without many things, but they cannot do without games. It can be said that every person, from the day they are born, begins to understand and engage with the world through games. The term 'game' may sound frivolous, but the fact is... it is the most serious thing in this world!"
Improvement
The Game of the Gods
"So you have traveled a long distance just to play a game?" an esteemed elder asked, facing the white wall
This is not technology of the people themselves, but a response from the Heavenly Palace
As Shi Rongzhi stated, they are solely in it for the game
So, this is not the end of the world? But rather a new beginning? Some have already realized this point
The World of the Gods' Game
... ...
After the appearance of the blue mist, Yuan Chenfei began to observe the small animals he had raised. Strictly speaking, he was the first person to notice the changes in the size of the small animals.
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited
Indeed. Shi Rongzhi nodded: "For them, traversing the starry sky and terraforming planets just to play a game seems quite normal. After all, with their technology or abilities, terraforming a planet should be a trivial matter. On the contrary, the enjoyable games that can satisfy their needs are becoming increasingly scarce. After witnessing countless splendors, the lonely and prolonged life ultimately leaves behind... perhaps only boredom and emptiness."
