Chapter 106

【"We feel fear, after all, the consequence of failure is the fall of our entire civilization."】

【"But we cannot give up seeking the truth just because of the possible consequences."】

Watching the words of the Vultaum race, which were almost like a last will, the accusations of the sentient beings across the universe stopped.

In the Herta Space Station,

watching the scene on the light screen, the three geniuses fell into a silence like death.

"I... I don't praise people much."

"Let alone praise a civilization."

Herta scratched her hair and said in a low voice:

"But the Vultaum, they are worthy of respect."

"Their research is very valuable..."

Screwllum gently took off the hat on his head and placed it on his chest:

"Respect to a martyr on the road to seeking the truth."

"Just as they said, we cannot give up seeking the truth just because of fear."

On the company's enterprise ship, Dr. Ratio supported his face, looking at the bright and dazzling stars flowing outside the window.

"Cannot give up seeking the truth just because of fear?"

Dr. Ratio muttered to himself, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

He believes in truth and spreads truth, because in his view...

truth can bring benefits to the vast majority of people in the universe.

But the Vultaum denied his view.

Seeking truth is just for the sake of seeking truth.

On this great road, even if the entire race is sacrificed, they will not hesitate.

Truth will not bring any reward to the sentient beings; truth itself is the reward.

Dr. Ratio couldn't help but close his eyes and mutter to himself in a low voice:

"Is this the only path to chasing truth?"

"Am I, indeed, a mediocre person?"

"Did they, succeed?" Silver Wolf raised her head and asked Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly: "They took the wrong path."

"Whether it is increasing or decreasing the population, at most it can reach a higher level of reality, but it cannot reach the true reality."

"Does this make any difference?" Firefly on the side showed some confusion.

Zhou Xuan smiled:

"We, you, and many universes are indeed games."

"They are products calculated by computers in a higher level of reality, and are simulated virtual realities."

"But these are all set, and are settings written by existences in the true reality."

"He set our universe in a game, but in fact our universe is in a book."

"This?" Firefly's eyes were full of confusion.

Silver Wolf on the side seemed to understand.

"I get it."

"All the universes we have are essentially content in a book, and this book set our universes as 'games'."

"Even if we break away from this game, we have only reached a higher reality, and have not reached the true reality?"

"That's it." Zhou Xuan nodded slightly.

"But... if that's the case, wouldn't the Vultaum's sacrifice be in vain?" Firefly couldn't help but clench her hands.

"How could it be in vain?"

Zhou Xuan shook his head:

"The initial explorers crossed the mountains and arrived at the seaside."

"And so, they developed this cognition: the edge of the world is the boundless sea."

"This is of course an incorrect cognition, but did such a cognition have no cost?"

Zhou Xuan chuckled and said:

"If they hadn't known the existence of the sea, how could they have flown among the stars."

Just when Zhou Xuan was speaking, a voice sounded on the light screen:

【"We left everything on Vultaumul, on our home planet."】

【"If we fail, may you inherit everything of ours and continue to seek truth and reality."】

【"May we meet again in the true reality."】

(There might only be two updates today, I went out during the day, I will make up for the missing one tomorrow.)

100. 【Vultaum Reality Pinhole Instrument】

【"Thus, after a long exploration, we finally unlocked all the secrets of the Vultaum."】

【"The home planet of the Vultaum, which is Terra under our feet today, suffered a devastating blow 12 million years ago."】

【"The cause was that the Vultaum themselves detonated antimatter bombs."】

【"They believed through long experiments that the entire universe was just a virtual reality system used for amusement by higher-level existences."】

【"All intelligent creatures were connected to this system, but were completely unaware."】

【"Thus, the Vultaum began to try to 'disconnect' with increasingly extreme methods."】

【"Among them included large-scale suicide behavior to trigger fluctuations in the virtual reality system."】

【"Finally, they concluded that only tens of billions of individuals committing suicide at the same time would be enough to destroy the stability of the entire system and make them regain their freedom."】

【"Thus, at an agreed-upon event, all Vultaum everywhere in the universe began to commit suicide by any possible means~."】

【"And there were too few people who did not participate in the mass suicide to continue normal reproduction, so the Vultaum civilization gradually dissipated and finally vanished into ashes."-】

The sentient beings across the universe looked at the text on the light screen and fell into silence.

Whether the Vultaum were crazy or stupid, they truly chose to sacrifice the life of the entire civilization to explore the truth.

"But... but this is all meaningless!"

Someone in the universe said with some panic:

"The universe cannot be a game, the so-called sacrifice of the Vultaum is meaningless!"

"Yeah, how could the universe be a game? The Vultaum's final suicide didn't achieve any results either!"

"I admire their spirit, but I cannot accept this statement!"

The sentient beings across the universe fell into a dispute.

Most life forms are still unwilling to accept that reality is a virtual reality game.

"Screwllum, what do you think?" Herta crossed her arms and looked at Screwllum on the side.

"According to calculations, the possibility that our universe is fictional is... 73%"

Screwllum lowered his voice and said:

"We are very likely literary works created by higher-level existences."

"Premise: The Vultaum race has the quality of noble truth-seeking."

"Logic: A civilization with such quality is unlikely to fall into madness; they likely discovered some signs."

"Conclusion: Our reality is very likely fictional."

"Even you think so..." Herta couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

"If that's the case, then it's really... too interesting."

Herta couldn't help but smile:

"In a higher reality, there are more interesting truths waiting for us to find and explore."

"Compared to that, Aeons are worthless, and Emanators are not worth mentioning."

"Isn't this worth getting excited about?"

"Indeed, Ms. Herta."

Screwllum's mechanical eyes moved slightly:
