Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 162: Watching from the outside, three moves! (4K)

"Don't dare?!"

Hearing this, Xia Ye's eyes immediately narrowed. He had thought of many reasons, but he had never thought of the word "dare not".

After all, ever since he came into contact with the Eight Great Techniques, he was completely certain that these were abilities that were by no means limited by the existing power on Earth. Contained within them were profound principles that could "analyze heaven and earth," and the power that could be demonstrated was far beyond what today's magic and technology could match!
"The power of the 'Eight Wonders' shown in the comics is just the tip of the iceberg, at least that was the case before I crossed over. But whether it's my feelings after using it or Zhang Huaiyi's words just now, they all prove one thing... The Eight Wonders can reach the sky!"

However, Xia Ye also knew that the "Tongtian" mentioned here was different from the "Tongtian to become an immortal" he imagined. After all, outside the earth was the vast universe and various interstellar alliances, and the "Tongtian" in the traditional sense might just be "transcendence of the earth"!
of course……

This is just his current idea.

After all, up to now, there has been no direct evidence to prove this, and everything is still in the theoretical stage.

But one thing is certain, that is, the overall strength of the Earth civilization is not as good as that of alien civilizations. This means that higher-level alien civilizations may also have power that can rival or even surpass the Eight Great Techniques. Otherwise, the Earth would not be just a remote planet, but should have a place!
In addition, the fact that the Earth has had contact with extraterrestrial civilizations since ancient times further proves this point!
"That's right..."

"I just don't dare!"

Now that this has been said, Zhang Huaiyi naturally has to make it clear, not only to repay the life-saving grace of the past, but also to prevent such a brilliant junior from being swallowed up by his "ignorant ambition" and ending up in a miserable end.

"Since you have come into contact with several strange skills, you should have heard of 'Fenghou Qimen' and 'Daluo Dongguan', right?"

"This is the ultimate of the current 'Qi Men' and 'Guan Shu'. With these two skills, the world can 'let me do whatever I want'!"

"Well, I've naturally heard of it."

Xia Ye nodded with a serious look on his face. He knew...what Zhang Huaiyi would say next might be quite important!

"It's good to have heard of it..."

"As a brother, I cannot reveal the details of these two unique skills to you without the permission of Zhou Sheng and Gu Jiting, but you should know that they are all sorcerers, and sorcerers can often see and perceive more and more than ordinary people!"

Zhang Huaiyi continued.

"Over the years, I have been in contact with them from time to time. Of course, it is mainly them who contact me. After all, I don't have the ability to go to heaven and earth as they please. I can only capture their Qi."

"And I remember very clearly that more than ten years ago, Gu Jiting suddenly found me and said that his 'viewing technique' had made a breakthrough and he saw 'scenery beyond the sky'..."

"To put it in today's terms, it was a scene outside the Earth, in the universe. But his expression at the time was very wrong. In his eyes... there was obvious fear."

"What did he see?"

Hearing this, Xia Ye couldn't help but ask, if this was true, it meant that there was something in this universe that even Gu Jiting felt was terrified.

"He said he saw countless eyes, terrifying gazes peering over here, but he could clearly feel that these gazes were blocked by something and could not really land here."

Zhang Huaiyi recalled.

"But I can see that he himself is not too sure, so he wants to find Zhou Sheng and ask him to use the 'Feng Hou Qi Men' to deduce it. But that guy has always been very hidden, and even he can't see where he is, so he wants me to locate him through his Qi."

"After that, I found Zhou Sheng with him, and used the Zhuge family's 'Return to Origin Formation' to deduce together. The result was - even with the power of the three of us, we couldn't deduce anything about the 'outside the sky'!"

You know, Zhang Huaiyi is a Taoist, so he has practiced some magic, and Zhou Sheng and Gu Jiting are the "top magicians" today. Even they can't figure it out together, which shows how much secret is hidden behind this problem...

"Not only that, when we entered the inner scene to inquire, for the first time ever, there was not even an 'answer' produced in the inner scene. We guess that this may be because the inner scene is only within the 'sky' and cannot touch the 'things outside the sky'!"

"Um……"

"It is indeed possible."

Xia Ye nodded. He had not yet analyzed the problem of "inner scene". After all, the "inner world" was too mysterious and it would take a lot of time to analyze. It would be better to wait until his cultivation reached a certain level, which would allow him to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But he was very clear about one thing, that is, the problem about "outside the sky". He immediately said to Zhang Huaiyi:
"Senior Huaiyi, there is a piece of information that you may not know yet. This world... has 'aliens'!"

"alien?!"

Hearing these three words, Zhang Huaiyi's brows immediately frowned, obviously he didn't understand. Xia Ye immediately explained everything he knew and said that the earth had actually been connected with "alien civilization" for a long time.

"Alien civilization...fringe planet...hmm?"

After listening to it, Zhang Huaiyi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that many mysteries of the past were solved.

"If that's true, then perhaps those gazes are from other civilizations?"

Then he felt a chill in his heart again.

"But what is their purpose? And what is stopping them?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.

And at this moment...

"..."

Xia Ye did not say anything and was also lost in thought. He had gained a lot from Zhang Huaiyi and needed time to digest it.

According to what Zhang Huaiyi said, those prying "eyes" must be malicious, which made him think of a "cosmic rule" he had seen in "The Three-Body Problem" in his previous life - the Dark Forest Law!
This law has two axioms:
First, survival is the first need of all civilizations.

Second, civilization continues to expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains the same.

Thus we can draw a conclusion:
In order to ensure its own survival and expansion, civilization must inevitably destroy other civilizations.

Two inherent concepts can be extended from this conclusion:

First, the chain of suspicion.

That is, I trust your kindness and believe that you will not destroy me, but I don’t know whether you trust a madman who will destroy others. Will that madman destroy you first and then destroy me who knows you?

This also means that it is impossible for a "trust relationship" to exist between two civilizations in the universe.

Second, technological explosion.

That is, a civilization may have stagnant technology for tens of millions of years, or it may have a "technological explosion" of explosive development, leaping from the agricultural age to the atomic age in a few hundred years, or even reaching a technology level that is enough to destroy galaxies. Therefore, even if you discover an extremely backward civilization, you must nip it in the bud and destroy it first.

"Although the relationship between cosmic civilizations in this world does not seem to be like this, the universe is vast after all. Who can guarantee that the interstellar civilizations known today are all of them?" Xia Ye couldn't help but analyze.

"Besides, even races will fight against each other, and this is even more true between civilizations. The weak will stick together for warmth, while the strong will destroy and annex. This has always been the main theme of civilization!"

In his opinion, whether it is the "chain of suspicion" or the "technological explosion", it is also applicable under the worldview of extraordinary existence, and Zhou Sheng at that time might be like the person who received the alien signal in "The Three-Body Problem"...

But he did not and could not give any response!

"Zhang Huaiyi just said that there seems to be something blocking those eyes from prying, as if it is protecting the Earth's civilization. What is it?"

For a moment, he felt that there were more and more mysteries, but he couldn't figure them out at all.

moment……

Xia Ye simply put these questions aside. He was not the type to get hung up on things. He would only try his best to think about the issues that he had figured out, so...

"Well, Senior Huaiyi, the 'eyes' you mentioned are the reason why you dare not show up. Are you afraid of being seen by those 'eyes'?" He asked, and felt that this was extremely unreasonable.

If this is true, then what about the old Heavenly Master? As the best in the world, he is dazzling enough!
However, just as he began to wonder, he couldn't help but think of the "mystery of the disappearance of the top" that he had known before. Could it be that...

"hiss……"

He gasped.

"Is there any connection between the two?!"

At this moment, facing the question he raised, Zhang Huaiyi spoke up:
“Not entirely true…”

"After that, we conducted many deductions and tests, and finally came to the conclusion that due to the existence of unknown forces, those eyes cannot see here for the time being. As long as we are still here, the strength of our individual strength should not matter."

"At the same time, we can be sure of one thing. This unknown force is more like a 'shielding' or 'covering' than a 'blocking'. However, this 'covering' should have its upper limit. The improvement of individual strength may not be able to break through this upper limit, but the overall improvement is not certain!"

Having said that, Zhang Huaiyi paused for a moment, then said seriously:

"If the power of the entire world, no... to use your words just now, the power of the entire civilization exceeds a certain limit, this power may no longer be able to conceal the existence of this place, and it will inevitably be seen by those eyes."

"When that time comes, no one knows what will happen, but judging from the malice and scrutiny in those eyes, the result will definitely not be good."

"As for why we are hiding..."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Huaiyi suddenly sighed, and a trace of dejection flashed in his eyes.

"These are just speculations after all. No one knows if an individual's strength really reaches a certain level and he or she will not be 'seen'. In addition, if the 'Eight Wonders' were to appear in the world, it would inevitably cause a bloody storm. If they were really obtained by the martial arts world, it would inevitably accelerate the improvement of the overall strength. So..."

"But you and the two seniors haven't given up your practice, right?"

At this moment, Xia Ye suddenly interjected. He could see that Zhang Huaiyi's aura was now more solemn than before.

"Of course, this is our lifelong pursuit, and we cannot give up. Although this is somewhat contradictory and even a bit selfish from some possible perspectives, as practitioners, no matter what obstacles are ahead... we must move forward!"

Zhang Huaiyi nodded, his eyes revealing great determination.

"People..."

"They are indeed complex and contradictory creatures, everyone is like this!"

After hearing what the other party said, Xia Ye couldn't help but smile and sighed at the same time.

He also heard from the speculations of Zhang Huaiyi and the other two that the term "civilization advancement" was indeed somewhat similar to "technological explosion", but as their last sentence said, everything was just speculation and no one knew the truth.

"So, after hearing all this, do you still have any idea of ​​'changing the rules'?"

At this time, Zhang Huaiyi had come back to his senses. He looked at him again and brought the topic back to the original point.

"Um……"

Xia Ye thought about it and responded immediately:
"Senior Huaiyi, I have thought about why I gave up countless times in the past, and I have thought of many possible answers, but unfortunately, I don't have any answer... It's about 'fear'!"

"As you just said, no matter what obstacles lie ahead, I must move forward!"

"..."

"understood."

Hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi suddenly felt relieved, and he relaxed completely, as if he finally knew what to do.

"To be honest, when I first heard you say this, I thought it was nonsense and that you were too young, but now it seems that is not the case. You are more determined than I thought."

"I have to say, you are truly the most amazing guy I have seen in all these years, except for my senior brother and fourth brother. How old are you this year? If I remember correctly... you should be twenty-four, right?"

At this moment, he only felt that he saw a familiar shadow on this boy, a shadow that was equally unruly, self-centered and crazy, but that guy had been missing for a long time, and it was still unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"But you have to know that what you may face is extraordinary. Are you really ready to face it?"

Up to this point, he still didn't know what exactly this kid wanted to do, but he had a hunch that it might make the situation "quite bad."

Wow!
The next moment, golden light suddenly rose from Zhang Huaiyi's body. The blazing golden light surrounded and swayed around him like a flame, suddenly illuminating the surrounding darkness.

"Boy, I don't know what you want to do, but I can see your madness. You saved my life and I should repay you. Today I will save you again..."

As he said this, he raised three fingers.

"If you can't break my golden light within three moves, put aside your crazy thoughts and practice hard. Otherwise, I will let you experience what the 'Qi Body Origin' is before you can defeat me..."

"Don't even think about doing anything anymore!"
