Chapter 1230 - Inheritance and Gif (1/2)

Jiang Chen looked at everything that was happening in front of his eyes and was silent for a long time.

After a while, he finally squeezed out a question.

“Why don’t you go to the other planets? If you can reach even the core, it shouldn’t be difficult to get out of this planet.”

“I have to correct your point of view. Not everyone is looking forward to the sky,” The light ball said in a calm tone, “We are more willing to explore downwards, and the solar system was quite young at the time. Young means barren.”

“In fact, from long ago, we also tried to explore the sky above us, but no one wanted to leave this piece of land. We would rather stay in the cave for a lifetime than to stay on the surface for a second too long, let alone the more distant universes. We have no tradition of traveling far away, all our traditions, beliefs and cultures revolve around our mines.”

“We took the metal of the core and replaced the geomagnetic field with a magnetic generating device. However, when we tried to use the power of the entire planet to create the strongest metal, it caused a terrible disaster.”

“The magnetic field of Mars disappeared, and the solar wind blew away our atmosphere. The plants withered and lives vanished. The ecological reserves that we built on the surface for centuries were destroyed in an instant. Under the radiation, countless of our kind passed away in sickness. Everything happened so suddenly, so suddenly that we were not prepared.”

“At the start of the apocalypse, we put all the works of art, antiques, and anything that can prove that we existed in this building.”

“But in the end, it seems that only the building itself lasted.”

The silence lasted for a long time.

With a sigh, Jiang Chen said softly.

“This is regretful.”

“Regretful?” The light ball seemed to be smiling and even Jiang Chen did not know why he felt this way. “In fact, when the apocalypse was coming, we felt everything except regretful.”

“I have said, we are frivolous about minerals, obsessed with metal. In the end, we created the strongest and most powerful metal in nature, and its existence even exceeds our definition of metal… although we have exhausted our final fate, it is in some ways the perfect ending to us.”

The tone of the light ball was very peaceful, and every note was calm; even till the last moment. To him, it was not an elegy of civilization, but just an ancient story.

That was it.

“We have no other wishes, nor requests. The last Gaia passed away peacefully in this hall. Our only wish is to hope that you can remember that in this universe, there used to be this civilization.”

“You have passed on our memories, and I must give you a gift in appreciation.”

“If our knowledge can help you solve the problems you are facing, please take it freely.”

“The door is below your feet. As for the key, we stored it in a spacecraft and placed it in the orbit of Mars. Since you can get here from the distant Earth, it should not be difficult to find it. ”

“It is a sphere that weighs a hundred kilograms. It is the crystallization of the Gaia civilization.”

Having said that, the light ball sounded relieved.

“It’s all over and I can finally rest. Perfect, my time is almost up.”

Jiang Chen hurriedly asked, “Wait, that strong interaction material, how did you—”

“That thing? We call it planetary forging technology.” The ball gradually dimmed, but the sound from it was as calm as ever.

“Planet forging technology?” Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.

“Even if we had a lot of time, it’s very cumbersome to explain. So don’t think about it. In order to make that ball, we’ve almost exhausted all the strength of our civilization…”

The sound from the light ball was weakened to an extreme; it was like a dying candle flickering in the wind.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to ask a few other things, everything around him began to collapse.

With the fading world, the light ball gradually turned into light particles. With the last memory of the Gaia civilization, he fell into the bottomless darkness.
