Yes.
Zhu Zhengwei never cared.
Even long before letting the Transmigrator enter, Zhu Zhengwei was prepared. He knew what kind of person this would be and what kind of beliefs they would face.
A man who had endured hardships, who still led his team to overcome challenges and chase the knowledge of advanced nations during the difficult early days of founding the country. He possessed an advanced curiosity, and naturally would not be in awe of gods and ghosts.
From the moment this civilization awoke, its future might have already been destined.
Zhu Zhengwei turned to the next page.
[New Calendar Year 630, amidst the ongoing research of the Divine Blood experiments, this civilization finally developed perfect Divine Flesh and Blood life forms.]
[New Calendar Year 634, they officially started the experiment, infusing Divine Blood, all believing that this would be the ultimate biological science topic on divine beings. Two factions appeared within them, observing together.]
[I heard the leader of their pessimistic faction say: After today's successful experiment, life will have no more secrets to explore, biology will thus end, today he is welcoming the end of life science.]
[I also heard the leader of their hopeful faction say: After the experiment succeeds, humanity will embrace its rebirth, and life science will enter a new ladder, ushering in a new dawn. He has smelled the fragrance of morning dew.]
[I saw them argue until their faces were red and felt it was indeed interesting. I observed quietly from the shadows, waiting for the final Judgment Day of life science, but the result was a failure. The child codenamed Blood Concealment showed no superpower and was sent as a human infiltrator because he only resembled a human, to seize Royal Authority.]
[New Calendar Year 637, I witnessed Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor's enthronement from the audience seats. The current Shiguang Emperor Jing Sheng was secretly captured and sent to the Fairy Forest, at this time those old-day ancestors of the God of the Fairies only realized that the contemporary Human Emperor was the Son of God inheriting Divine Blood Authority, wielding the Flower of Destiny and Death. They were shocked to find that their pursued direction was wrong: the power of God was not in genetic biology, but in the authority of rules.]
[Because of the Human Emperor's arrival, the entire Fairy Forest started a century-long Destiny Chaos, where all residents on the island could see their future deaths, eventually receiving the first warning for angering the Divine Spirit.]
Zhu Zhengwei's expression relaxed.
Now looking back, the timeline was reorganized once more.
[New Calendar Year 776, Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor, unwilling to accept his tribe's treatment, began attacking the Fairy Forest. By then, the elders had been tormented by rule experiments, their beliefs collapsed, and internal chaos broke out, surrendering without a fight, dividing the Immortal Herb, and making Elixirs of Immortality. The professor and I were the biggest rivals. I took the opportunity to seize 1,200 plants, while he seized 500. He didn't have the ability to seize as I did.]
Zhu Zhengwei: "....."
More than 2,400, you took half by yourself.
No wonder you're still alive and kicking, most of the world's Immortal Herbs were taken by you.
[New Calendar Year 783, Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor resisted destiny, let the world divide him, to no avail.]
[New Calendar Year 795, the Day of Destiny began, the Demon Calamity descended. Their most capable fighter Du Jingsheng went, the greatest wise man the professor also went. I didn't dissuade him, at his end, he told me: This is perhaps their romance, curiosity is their driving force forward, even at the cost of sacrifice, man is a thinking reed. To this, I could only remain silent.]
Zhu Zhengwei knew.
He had gone through the deaths of Li Su and Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor, and in front of him was the mad civilization's unstoppable death, he no longer had a reason to stop.
[I, however, did not go. I immediately went to the seafloor and told that giant in the sea: you should act for me once, it's time to repay what you owe me.]
After this trembling handwriting, there was no further writing.
It was clear Zhang Zhi's mood had become extremely complex.
He left only two drawings in the diary to depict the ensuing earth-shattering war. Titled "Judgment Day" and "Day of Destiny."
Hundreds of years passed, his painting skills had verged on the divine. The entire painting seemed like a spiritual witch skill scroll, containing a realm of the Spiritual World, giving a faint view of a grand and heroic scene.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Countless clashes blasted the earth.
Countless airwaves swept the sky.
This was a blood-red toned "Judgment Day" painting, where a massive Demon Ancestor crushed a few straining powerhouses. The demon's body was towering and majestic, crushing them with an overwhelming posture. The resistors, their spines curved, faces strained.
It seemed like the judgment of destiny, the world's verdict on this ever-fearless mad civilization finally came today.
The next page after Judgment Day's painting was the "Day of Destiny," destined to be immortalized in human history. It was an oil painting of a sky similar to Van Gogh's Starry Night, the sky twisted and rotated, amidst the qi and blood of countless Immortal Herbs. An earthly emperor tore through the sky, revealing a giant rift, finally seeing the external world, with endless stars.
This painting nearly symbolized the Tao, giving a sense of unimaginable shock.
Stunning, perfect, full of tension, it was the most awe-inspiring work of art in the world.
In a trance, it seemed to see a solemn challenge of life to destiny.
The diary wrote:
[I painted ten of each, leaving them everywhere, when future generations naturally open the scrolls and see "Day of Destiny" and "Judgment Day," they will certainly traverse through time, revisit this dark epoch, witnessing the only star in our dark era.]
[I saw Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor falling from the sky rift with hearty laughter, I clearly understood what it meant, he finally saw the answer his civilization had always been pursuing: We were never anyone's slaves, the world was not false, fictitious, or virtual, we are not bacteria in a petri dish, we are free, we merely live in a small folded world, outside, the universe has passed unknown eons, no longer desolate, it is a sky full of living planets, gathered into a star river, boundlessly brilliant.]
At this moment, the entire Immortal Herb had been stunned.
This was a race pursuing freedom, pursuing truth, pursuing the endless starry sky!
This ancient ancestor tribe, awoken from the Old Days, explored the world at the cost of extinction, stained with blood, crossed the Great Wall of the world's barriers, for all living beings in the world to glimpse the future hope!
"Exploring the world, and discovering the truth for the future generations, laying the foundation."
Even some girls saw it with heavy breathing, their eyes reddened: "Their final scene of seeing the starry sky, seeing the splendid star river, the boundless universe, knowing they were never anyone's slave, the impact of this, it's too strong! It actually makes me want to cry..."
Even Zheng Weiwei was shocked and stirred, completely understanding why so many got immersed in this wallpaper game, softly said: "Starting from Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor, the Country of Witch, Swallowing Wind and Eating Qi, paved the road for the future generations, transcended from the mundane to the saintly, writing the hope of the extraordinary path of immortality!"
Freedom?
Truth?
Zhu Zhengwei took a sip of tea.
This lifelong exploratory, struggling, roaring civilization of seekers finally pursued the truth beyond the world: the blazing stars in the sky, the endless worlds.....
Still not the truth.
Still just a virtual canvas of the world.
World, universe, stars.
All are just dream bubbles outside this world.
The false beauty of dream illusions.
"Life is but a dream, they never saw the truth of the universe before they died."
Zhu Zhengwei flicked his fingertips, looking out at the rain beyond the window. The rain poured, the world hazy, he thought: "But in the future, I will turn the truth they saw into the truth, at that time, they will not live in the world within a box, but will traverse beyond the world, into the boundless universe in their eyes! More territories."
"When the world is big enough, what difference is there between true and false?"
And soon, continued to look at the next line of the diary.
[Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor fell, though they were but a transient blossom, they left behind a long-lasting human civilization to continue, they are the most beautiful meteor in the long night of the Milky Way.]
This Immortal, along with the intense grief in his heart, not only infused intent into the painting but also seemed his text came to life, entering a certain realm of sublimation, as if in this diary's text, each robust word infused with intense emotions, forming a vague scene.
Seems to see an ancient and powerful yet painfully weak old man, looking up at the torn sky, crying as he painted, writing the following touching passage:
[New Calendar Year 795, what I have experienced is absolutely unbelievable for all future humans, life, earth, starry sky, three words converging into this era's fervent faith.]
[I witnessed various modified lives being enslaved and driven by a civilization without bottom lines.]
[I saw an arrogant race piloting life battleships, three times impacting the edge of the world's barrier, setting a raging blaze.]
[I experienced a Demon Calamity outbreak, the demise of all living beings, the Demon Ancestor descended into the mortal realm, this was Heaven's punishment for this civilization's arrogance, and the world thus became ruins.]
[Yet all these fragments were buried in the river of time with the heroic emperor of that mad civilization, who finally saw the universe and the stars after the fourth breakthrough of the world, like tears vanishing in the rain!]
— Year 795, Recorded by the Prehistoric Ancestor, Zhang Zhi.
