I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1267 Disintegration
Humanity in this world has fallen into despair, and the entire "city" has been swallowed up by despair.

Their consciousness, connected by the Heart Gold, was supposed to help them share the pain, but now it's like a wooden boat chained together with iron chains, burned to ashes.

They had clearly achieved sufficient "evolution," and their civilization had not suffered any major damage and still stood tall on the earth, but they were lost.

"What can we do without the Heart Gold?"

They've become so dependent on something that they can't break the habit.

Humanity's technology is built upon Heart Gold. They have long since abandoned their physical bodies. To create new offspring, they must also use Heart Gold. Everything they possess belongs to Heart Gold. Now, without Heart Gold, it's like ancient humans losing carbon; everything will cease to exist.

Everything seems to have reached its end. The continuation of life is to allow genetic fragments to be preserved, and these new "Heart Gold Humans" have even had their genetic material transformed into Heart Gold.

Now that the Heart Gold is gone, they can only cling to this limited amount of Heart Gold and continue a population that has no further potential for development.

Even so, with the help of the powerful Heart Gold, they can still continue their journey to the stars and the sea, but they need to reduce the amount of Heart Gold they use and use the limited Heart Gold in the right direction.

But it's very difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. They are "more advanced" life forms, how could they possibly cut back on food and clothing and not even meet their basic needs?

The evolution of life has brought about higher intelligence, but also more needs. Just like humans and ants, ants only need to think about eating and drinking, while humans think about many things, from the food in front of them to the vast stars. When intelligence cannot be expressed, it will drive new desires.

These more advanced Mind-Gold humans have reached an unimaginable level of culture. Countless waves of thought reverberate day and night in the "city." Their vision transcends the sun and moon, escaping reality to roam the ocean of philosophy and speculation. Only in this way can they unleash their boundless wisdom.

But all of this requires the support of HeartGold Technology. They used HeartGold to create a broadcast that could cover the entire "city" and to mold HeartGold into all sorts of "luxury goods" that ancient humans could not imagine. Whether it was the most basic physiological needs or the most advanced "self-actualization" needs, they could satisfy them unconditionally.

But now that the Heart Gold is gone, their needs can no longer be met.

What was originally an "unlimited" resource has become limited. To satisfy one's own needs, one must seize the Heart Gold of others. They should have been a shared society because Heart Gold was never in short supply, but now the situation has changed. The total amount of Heart Gold is limited. If others have more, one will have less!

The once prosperous and "great" civilization of the HeartGold humans began to crumble in an instant. They no longer had the mind to think about the stars and the sea or philosophical contemplation. Their most important task now was to occupy more HeartGold and gain more territory in the "City".

The original world government has gradually disappeared as the "city" has spread. In a society with unlimited resources, everyone is equal, there is no exploitation, no confrontation, and of course, no need for a government to maintain balance with rules.

But things are different now. When struggles return, a power structure that can control the majority of people becomes extremely important.

Thus, the individuals who were originally fighting independently in the "city" united into organizations, and the organizations then coalesced into political parties. These parties fought each other and carved up the "city" in a chaotic manner, and the Heart Gold was molded into a weapon capable of destroying consciousness.

The mischievous boy eventually picked up the clay in his hand and sculpted a pistol.

He picked up his pistol and fired a shot at his companion, who simultaneously pulled the trigger. Both bullets struck each other between the eyebrows at the same time.

Just like nuclear war, the destructive power of HeartGold weapons is terrifying.

It's a weapon capable of erasing the consciousness of all HeartGold humans within a region. By wiping out all humans, the HeartGold can remain.

When the first bullet was fired, the war that would engulf the entire world became inevitable. Destructive weapons flew everywhere, and people frantically searched for shelter, but the fluctuations in their consciousness attracted more bullets, until only a handful of survivors remained in the entire "city"...

It all happened so fast that before they could even process what had happened, the "city" was completely empty.

Despite their "advanced" evolution, they still fight like the "ancients."

Back when they were still ape-men, the conflict between the two tribes was so fierce that they were determined to fight to the death. After the battle, many died or were wounded, and only one in ten of the tribes survived.

Later, in the age of cold weapons, people charged into battle with swords, spears, and halberds. Thirty thousand against thirty thousand, the fighting ended with corpses strewn across the fields, the defeated soldiers helping each other back to their cities, all alone. While humanity called for peace, it also ignited gunpowder. In the age of firearms, this destruction was even more thorough. There was no need for the clash of weapons as before; simply launching missiles at each other from afar would leave the world silent, reduced to ruins.

It seems that no matter how advanced humanity becomes, destruction remains just as easy.

The nature of war has not changed. When faced with the issue of resource allocation, human wisdom and reason can never suppress that madness. Or perhaps humans are inherently a mad race, capable of doing anything for the sake of "continuation".

The remaining few consciousnesses lingered in the empty "city" and began to reflect.

But what's the use of reflecting on it?
After every war, humanity begins to reflect, but after a while, once the guilt has subsided, it goes mad again.

The "city" remained pristine. The weapon had destroyed human consciousness but perfectly preserved the Heart Gold. This vast "planetary shell" shimmered with a beautiful silver light in the universe, but that light no longer belonged to humanity...

The few remaining vestiges of consciousness cannot save the world. After their demise, this despairing planet will gradually decay, the massive city will begin to collapse, and the Heart Gold, without the maintenance of consciousness for a long time, will degenerate and revert to its original form as pure ore.

It rains every day on Earth.

The rain was silvery, falling from the sky.

The sky is not the sky, but the city left behind by the master who no longer exists in this world.

Large and small ores fell to the ground; if anyone saw this, they would surely exclaim happily, "We've got heart gold again!"

Unfortunately, there are no "people" left in this place.

It seems that because the mine damaged the planet's structure, and the huge "city" added an unimaginable burden to the planet, several cracks appeared around the pit when the rain kept falling.

The crack quickly spread throughout the world, and countless HeartGold pieces fell along it, crashing into the Earth's core. The boiling magma seemed to be crying out to the HeartGold pieces about the planet's despair.

Do planets have thoughts?
If those HeartGold humans were still alive, they would definitely argue about this issue endlessly, debating it day and night.

The core metal that fell into the Earth's core probably received that despair, and began to carry out a command of destruction.

This world has ended, and the planet has fulfilled its mission.

It will turn into cosmic dust and travel to another world full of hope.

And here...

"boom!"

No sound travels through the universe; that sound was imagined by Martin and Lu.

The star twinkled briefly.

The planet below them transformed into a beam of light, like the first ray of light found by humans in a dark forest.

only……

One path signifies a beginning; another signifies an end.
