Honkai Simulator, why is it always me who is the Herrscher?

Ye Changan has passed the second stage of his trial, but the final result will only be revealed in the third stage.

"...Bring us here, what for?"

Ye Changan asked after a brief silence. Chi Yuan stood quietly holding a feather in his hand without saying a word.

No longer had the intention to fight to the death with Zhongyan.

"Let you witness the outcome of the trial with your own eyes, and see how many people are looking forward to tomorrow during this trial."

The Herrscher of the End smiled and spoke, then waved his hand and spun it around, taking the huge Earth into his palm.

PS: The temperature changes have been a bit abnormal recently, so everyone please take care of yourselves. I was in poor condition yesterday and didn’t update because I was afraid of ruining this important plot. Sorry, sorry.

Song of Destruction: Dislocated Space and Time: 41. After the collapse, there is an endless sea of ​​stars

Looking at the earth in his palm, the Herrscher of the End had an indifferent look in his eyes, and then he squinted his eyes at Ye Changan and asked:

"Chang'an, do you know what it means to pass the trial?"

Ye Changan shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

He really didn't know, after all, there was no answer to refer to.

Although the original game reached the ending, that ending couldn't actually be considered a passing of the trial.

If the trial is compared to a high school entrance examination, then the civilization conducting the trial is a high school student.

If you pass the high school entrance examination normally and get good grades, you can move on to your favorite institution of higher learning and become a high school student.

The ending of the original work is more like setting up a high school within the original middle school, and students can continue to enroll in the school and become high school students by simply taking an exam.

There must be a difference between the two endings, but Ye Changan doesn't know what this difference specifically refers to.

"The end of one trial marks the beginning of the next."

The Herrscher of the End chuckled as he gave the answer, then looked back at the Earth in his palm and whispered:

“Civilization originates from the planet, and civilization will eventually leave its home planet.

For lower civilizations, the planet is just a cradle, and it is impossible to sleep in the cradle forever.

When the time is ripe, civilization will eventually leave its cradle and head towards the vast starry sky."

The development of civilization allowed humans to conquer mountains, rivers and seas, and then turn their attention to the starry sky.

This is normal because humans have been like this since ancient times.

"So the trial of the cocoon is testing whether we are qualified to step into the starry sky?"

Ye Changan thought about it and asked again, but the Ruler of the End shook his head.

"Yes and no."

He held the earth in one hand and with the other hand pinched out another planet from the outside of the earth.

Judging from its position, this is the Earth's satellite, the Moon.

“Planets are the cradle of civilization, and galaxies are the cradle of planets.”

"When creatures of lower civilizations leave their planets, they don't actually step into the starry sky; they simply leave one cradle and enter another, larger cradle."

"Despite the differences in size, a cradle is still a cradle."

"A civilization that cannot leave its cradle has no right to step into the starry sky."

In short, the trial of the cocoon has a deeper meaning.

Let civilization leave the planet, leave the galaxy, and step into the vast sea of ​​stars.

In terms of the location of Earth's civilization, it must at least be out of the solar system.

This was not an easy task, because the Ark Project executor, Grace, had been wandering in the starry sky for 50,000 years without leaving the solar system.

Judging from what the End said, after leaving the solar system, Earth civilization will face challenges more dangerous than collapse.

A civilization without strength stepping into the starry sea is like a sheep jumping into a pack of wolves; it will be devoured until not even a bone is left.

It seems that the trial of cocoon is well-intentioned.

But Chiyuan lived in Bengbu.

"Just for this qualification, they befell us with such disaster. Why?

Whether humans are qualified to step into the starry sky will be determined by human wisdom. Why would you impose a trial to confirm eligibility?"

Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. The trial of Jian was very arrogant, so arrogant that it was unacceptable.

But what can I do if I don’t accept it?

"Because you are weak."

The weak have no power to choose and can only be forced to accept.

Chi Yuan was greatly stimulated and his breathing became rapid, but he eventually calmed down.

She didn't want to admit it but had to.

Because the failure of previous civilizations is the most obvious answer.

When you encounter a crisis, your opponent will not give you mercy or compassion, nor will they give you too much time to develop.

If you fail to seize the time to arm yourself and strengthen yourself, you will only end up in destruction.

It is foolish to pin your hopes of victory on the enemy's kindness.

Ye Changan was not too emotional about this matter, so he turned and said

"What do these things have to do with the outcome of the trial you are about to witness?"

"..."

Zhongyan said nothing and held the mini globe in front of Ye Changan for him to take a closer look.

Human beings on Earth are divided into two groups based on the colors black and white.

"What does this color division mean?"

“Those who pass the test, and those who don’t.”

Zhongyan answered with a smile, threw the earth in his palm back to its original size, and stood in the middle of the bustling city where no one noticed, raised his hands and said

"Tomorrow may be better, or it may be worse.

Some people look forward to tomorrow and are full of hope for the future.

Some people have no expectations for tomorrow and are already filled with disgust for the present."

“If more than half of you don’t expect it, then even if you defeat me, the trial will only end in failure.

But you are lucky, there are more people on this planet who look forward to tomorrow than those who don't.

They are qualified to pass the test and step into tomorrow."

"And those who don't look forward to it, unfortunately, they will not pass the trial and will be stuck in this day forever."

Some of the remarks were shocking, Chi Yuan could not help but ask

“What does it mean to stay in today forever?”

"die."

These two simple words are the answer to the end. Only the dead have no tomorrow.

"You bastard!"

Chi Yuan was furious and punched with his fist.

Unfortunately, the fist passed through the body of the End without any force and could not touch the End at all.

The end of this stage is untouchable.

Because He is neither a material nor a spiritual being, He is merely the examiner and judge of the results of trials.

There is no way to stop it.

Once judgment is given, one-fifth of the human population on Earth will die.

There are so many people who have no expectations for tomorrow.

"Chang'an, stop Him."

Chi Yuan asked Ye Changan to take action, but Ye Changan remained unmoved and just looked at the unexpected group that was classified as black.

"Why keep them here today?"

When asking Zhongyan, Ye Changan felt a little confused.

The existence of this level seems unnecessary, but it is enforced.

Is there a reason why this must be so?

"Since you're such a nice guy, I'll tell you reluctantly."

Zhongyan smiled, waved his hand and scattered a sea of ​​stars, and said leisurely

"Low-level civilizations are accustomed to internal friction. A civilization without a unified will cannot face the challenges of the starry sea.

If there are two wills in a civilization, then the minority will should be eliminated and only absolute unity should remain.

Only in this way can we work together and move forward, ultimately reaching the other side of the sea of ​​stars."

This is a very extreme practice, and it is hard to imagine the mental state of the mastermind behind it.

Ye Changan disagreed and manifested musical instruments playing a symphony beside him.

Chi Yuan didn't understand what it meant, and Zhong Yan couldn't figure it out either.

But as the music progressed, the group originally classified as black rebelled and all turned white, looking forward to tomorrow.

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Zhongyan blinked, looking confused.

"You're cheating."

This is indeed cheating, forcibly distorting the will of living beings and making them look forward to a tomorrow that they don't originally expect.

But in terms of means, Ye Changan did not cheat.

"I just asked them to listen to some music."

Those who do not look forward to tomorrow can only see no hope and find nothing to pursue. Ye Changan cannot awaken the desire in everyone's heart, but music can.

The pursuit of beauty rooted in the hearts and genes of living beings can be awakened by music.

Once the motivation to pursue beauty is awakened, the expectation that tomorrow will be more beautiful will naturally arise.

Maybe tomorrow won’t be more beautiful, but we’ll have to wait until tomorrow comes to know.

This expectation may be eroded by cruel reality, but at least it is not the current reality.

The result will be revealed tomorrow.

Anyway, I have expectations for tomorrow, so it doesn’t matter whether I cheat or not.

"I really admire you, Old Six."

Zhongyan put down his arms and complained, he no longer had the qualifications to judge, and continued unhappily.

"You'll definitely regret it later."

Short-term pursuits cannot become sustained willpower. In future challenges, some people will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and will rebel.

This is not a good thing for civilizations that challenge the starry sky.

But good or bad is something that cannot be judged. Ye Changan had no intention of expressing his opinion, so he just urged

"Hurry up and announce the results of the trial."

Only the final result can make Ye Changan feel at ease. These battle processes and philosophical explorations are meaningless to him.
