This brave man is a scumbag

Man is a very strange creature.

Truth and compromise, these two seemingly completely conflicting things, show infinite possibilities in human civilization.

Sometimes, if you want to know the truth, you must choose to compromise.But as long as you compromise, even if you have obtained the truth, it doesn't make any sense.You can no longer change or touch the truth because you have compromised it.

Sometimes, however, we have to compromise for the sake of the truth.We have obtained the truth and made a compromise, but human beings will tear off the shackles brought by the compromise one day in the future, and then change the truth.

[January 0100, 1 Luoyang record]

[The first batch of pioneers, human leader Zhou Changan chose to return to zero today]

[There is no memorial ceremony, no funeral, not even a tombstone.Zhou Changan asked others to make his remains into fluorite and put them in the remains]

[Dongfang No. [-] scientific research ship has reached the end of the years, and it was completely decommissioned on the day Zhou Changan returned to zero.We dissolved it, reorganized it, and transformed these elements into titanium alloy through Azuya's ability to create the gate of the remains]

【Thirty years ago, we discovered that substances from the earth have a strange chemical reaction to this world.Specifically, the magic 'entropy' of this world cannot touch matter on Earth.Even the fireball technique released by Asuya himself can't dissolve the most common plastic, we call it 'civilization insoluble phenomenon']

[As the third batch of pioneers, I have already mastered the ability to cultivate life through Atalona.Strangely enough, Atalona couldn't breed life herself, and this technology can only breed us pioneers.But this is good news, our bodies have gradually begun to adapt to this world, at least, the water is no longer poisonous]

[For this world, the battery module of the black box is a non-renewable resource.And Zhou Changan told me before returning to zero that he must record the data in the black box after his death.Although the third generation can no longer understand why he did this, I still chose to follow his instructions]

【He said, we are going home. Although I was born on the continent formed by these three islands, Zhou Changan still told me that my home is on a blue planet.In that place, there is a beautiful scenery called rime.Even though I have never seen it, in Zhou Changan's memory, I also saw the snow and frost that made my mind peaceful]

[The recording of the data has been completed, these are just my personal diary records.My name is Zhou Luoyang, and I am a living body created based on Zhou Changan's genes.I will take over the torch from Zhou Changan and lead the pioneers to go on]

"Atalona."

After reading a new record, Zhou Li seemed to understand something.He stared blankly at the illusory screen in front of him. After a long time, he said the meaning of the name.

"Goddess of Life, Atalona."

"God of the Elements, Azuya."

Yes, the two names that appear in the document are all twelve-carved gods.And Atalona is also a name that can be said to be familiar enough to make Zhou Li laugh. After all, the first unlucky person after his rebirth was the goddess of life.

But now, on this document from his hometown, the name Atalona appeared on it.But this time, Atalona did not bring the killing and bloodshed of the Twilight Forest. On the contrary, what Zhou Li saw in the document was that Atalona was the only one who let the pioneers pass on.

And the name Azuya is also very important. As the god of elements in this world, Azuya's sense of existence has always been very weak, and her position is also very vague.Even until now, no Pope of the God of Elements can conclude whether Azuya is male or female.

Looking at the word "she" on the document, the corner of Zhou Li's mouth curled up with an unknown emotion.After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Your creator. No, what other gods did the pioneers meet?"

【They are not gods】

[The gods have long since died, accompanied by the collapse of the golden tree]

"I know."

Of course Zhou Li knew that he was talking about the first generation of gods, those primitive gods who grew up in nature and treated the creatures of this world with the greatest kindness.He raised his head, looked at nothingness, and asked in a deep voice: "I know about the Golden Tree, what I want to know is, what exactly is Twelve Quarters, and why do they appear?"

[Key words retrieved, play creator's record below]

[Records of weekly return on December 500, 12]

【God.】

[Atalona is about to lose her mind, she keeps repeating the gods, humming a name we can't understand.Whenever that name comes out of her mouth, a strange chill always covers the back of my neck.I once asked her about this name when she was awake, but Atalona just used even more incomprehensible words to make us retreat from difficulties]

[We found Katz, he is still withdrawn as always, and he doesn't like talking.He still lives in that incomplete land, with no living beings or vegetation.I had a private meeting with him, hoping to find out why Atalona has this phenomenon]

[This time, Katz was no longer as taciturn as he used to be. He said a lot, some of which were easy to understand, but some of which were completely unaware of his intentions.In order not to distort his meaning, I decided to record his original words]

The following is the transcript of the conversation ---

{Katz: (silence, expression seems to fluctuate) Atalona?Ah, is it so close yet?}
【Zhou Hui: Close to what? 】

{Katz: The Roots of Madness, The Truth}
[Zhou Hui: The root cause?the truth?What's the meaning?Why is Atalona crazy? 】

{Katz: Because of the truth, the closer we get to the truth, the more we get in touch with our mission, the closer we get to madness. }
【Zhou Hui: What is the truth? 】

{Kats: (long silence)}
{Katz: World. }
{Katz: The truth about the world. }
{Katz: Unfortunately, if what you said is true, then Atalona has made a compromise with (unintelligible name), so she has access to the truth.I really regret that Atalona's desire for the future and expectations for life are too strong, which made her give up too much and choose to contact the truth}
{Kats: Zhou Hui, or rather, the Blazers.I am sorry, when we come into contact with the truth, we inevitably stand on the opposite side of this world, or we must commit ourselves to the terrible truth.We cannot avoid the path to godhood}
[Zhou Hui: Become a god?You want to become gods? 】

{Katz: Yes, God}
{Kats: You have seen the collapse of the golden tree, and you have also seen the appearance of the foggy continent.So you should know that there are gods in this world.This is not a simple belief, it is a law.Now, these incomplete laws are gathered up by greater laws, and are going to throw us into the incomplete laws to fill the gaps}
【Zhou Hui: Do you want to become a god in the golden age? ! 】

{Katz: No, the golden tree has collapsed, and the golden law is completely dead.Those powers that control the rules of the world have been left behind all over the world, what we have to do is to gather these powers}
【Zhou Hui: Then what? 】

{Kats: (10 minutes of silence)}
{Katz: We will compromise with the truth, and then, destroy the world}
[Zhou Hui: Why? 】

{Katz: This is why we admire you pioneers the most. Your rationality often contains sensibility, but at critical moments, your rationality will allow you to make the most correct choice. }
{Katz: Our destruction is for salvation. }
【Zhou Hui: If I want to know the truth, what is the price? 】

{Katz: The Insoluble Phenomenon of Civilization}
{Katz: There will be poisons against you in the air, water is no longer water, but a poison with a breath of death.The world you see will change dramatically, but only because the world rejects you.Your brains will hear the whispers of the remains of the gods of the golden age, and finally go mad}
{Katz: The civilization you created, the civilization of the pioneers for 500 years, will dissipate}
[Zhou Hui: Is there no way to stop this? 】

{Katz: Yes, Atalona, ​​the goddess of life, has accepted the truth, and authority has begun to converge on her.And as the god closest to the truth, she will be the first to fall into madness.At that time, her favorite pioneer civilization will be the one she hates the most. }
[Zhou Hui: Others can't avoid it, right? 】

{Katz: Yes, the 12 of us will take over all authority and become the only twelve righteous gods at the same time.We will take control of this world, shatter the last rays of the golden age with our own hands, and then, under the influence of the approaching truth, one madness after another, and finally, establish an era born for destruction. }
【Zhou Hui: What should I do? 】

{Katz: Pioneers, you are still too weak, and the insoluble civilization has been hovering around your necks.Even if you have researched technology beyond the times, you are still too weak in front of (indescribable name).Even if she is on the verge of death, even if she has a remnant soul left.But to us outsiders, she's still powerful}
【Zhou Hui: What should we do? 】

{Kats: (again silence)}
{Katz: I don't know. }
{Kats: Zhou Hui, your civilization is the most brilliant civilization I have ever seen, even surpassing the Golden Age.Those creatures in the golden age are only species that rely on the gifts of the gods to survive.But you, have survived as an incomplete group}
【Zhou Hui: But if the world is destroyed, it will be meaningless】

{Katz: There is no way to recover. The establishment of the twelve quarters is irreversible. Sooner or later, we will become twelve lunatics with absolute authority, and you will become our complete opponents.Zhou Hui, believe me, you can't fight against the lunatic who controls the authority, you will be completely wiped out, and all traces of existence will be destroyed. }
{Katz: Then, there will be animals and monsters left in this world without any variables.They will gradually grow up under the care of us crazy shepherds, and one day in the future, they will become fuel to ignite the world and compromise with the truth}
【Zhou Hui: What if we create humans that belong to this world? 】

{Kats: Human. Zhou Hui, 500 years ago, your ancestor Zhou Chang'an landed on the eastern part of the Eastern Archipelago and attracted Atalona's attention.Because civilization is insoluble, we think that your civilization will be destroyed by the malice of this world one day like other wanderers.However, what we didn't expect is that you survived}
{Katz: You created a water filter and a whole new way of living.You have established a country with a mere 300 people, but it has operated so far that Shangkes is amazed.After we communicated with you, you realized entropy, obviously you couldn't use it, but you created machines, created magic to manipulate him}
{Katz: Human beings are the biggest variable we have ever seen. }
{Kats: Zhou Hui, this world is like a person slipping into the abyss.If there is no change, even if Atalona is not close to the truth, we will fall into madness one day in the future and eventually destroy this world.So, your appearance gave us hope, I am sorry, if you are the aborigines of this world, or if you have lived in this world for 2000 years, maybe your civilization can save this world}
{Katz: But right now, there's no chance.Atalona will be the first to fall into madness, followed by Ilu, Willis, Norley, and Emmanuel. Finally, I will become the god of death, lose all sanity, and end the death of this world}
【Zhou Hui: No, there is another chance. 】

[Zhou Hui: Since human beings are a variable, let this variable continue to live]

{Katz: What are you going to do? }
[Zhou Hui: Turn my broken body into a raging fire. 】

{Kats: You? ! }
[Zhou Hui: Katz, this is the first time I've seen you panicking, it's very interesting]

{Katz: You're crazy, this will.}
【Zhou Hui: Katz, in my hometown, there is an old saying, which is to put the dead to live】

{Katz: (silent again) Go find Atalona, ​​she is only one step away from madness, I will help you}
【Zhouhui: Help me keep the remains】

{Katz: I will}
[Zhou Hui: I will be the last one to return to zero. When the time comes, make my corpse into a fluorescent stone]

{Katz: I will}
【Zhou Hui: I will hand over my child to you. No matter what method you use, send him back to my hometown. Believe me, this is meaningful】

{Katz: I get it, you want your kids to be variables}
{Katz: If one day, we find a way to eliminate the insoluble civilization, I will recall your children, you know, only variables can save the world}
【Zhou Hui: This is why I let him go home】

{Katz: I am the god of death, the farthest from the truth, and the last god to fall into madness.I will preserve the remains of the pioneers before I go mad, witness the fire you light, and}
{Katz: One day in the future, I will let your children kill me with my own hands, so that the biggest change will be created}
{Katz: God, it will be killed. }
[Zhou Hui: In the name of the pioneer leader, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you. 】

{Kats: In the name of the creatures of this world, I express my sincere gratitude to the pioneers, thank you for giving this world hope to live}
{Katz: Give your child to Hongran, he will return your child to your hometown, and one day in the future, he will come back}
[Zhou Hui: Treat it as a parting gift, Katz, please give him a name]

{Kats: (panic)}
{Kats: (laughs)}
{Kats: Zhou Li}
{Katz: go round and round, leave and return}
