Chapter 1009: The Tree of Insof

  Chapter 1009: The Tree of Insof

  Two hundred years of history cannot be explained in a few words, especially since the survivors on this planet have not only forgotten the language of the Human Union, but even lost their writing.

  But what surprised Ye Shi was that even though these forest people were quasi-illiterate, they still recorded their culture and history in their own way.

  Those were cracks engraved on the roots of the sacred tree, and those sharp lines covered every part of the wall of the “temple”.

  Just like a mural.

  At first, Ye Shi thought those lines were naturally formed patterns, until he saw with his own eyes that the sharp lines slowly grew a line with his arrival.

  It seemed to happen at the same time, and it was difficult to distinguish which came first and which came later.

  Just like the vision he encountered in the hyperspace channel…

  ”The Holy Tree is the Tree of Insof, the mother of all things. Its roots spread throughout the forest, the whole world, and even constitute our world… And the Holy Tree above our heads at this moment is just the part of it that is exposed outside, or a cluster of tender shoots that have drilled out of the soil.”

  Dora told about the Holy Tree in a soft voice.

  Ye Shi was surprised to find that as he continued to communicate with her, her level of human language was improving at an incredible speed, even more amazing than that of the old man named Sagui.

  If “psychic power” has a level distinction, the old man is probably around level 10, and she is at least level 30.

  Of course, it may also be because young people learn things faster.

  ”I roughly understand… If we compare Him to a high-dimensional creature, the Holy Tree we see is just one of His projections in the three-dimensional world, and there are other parts in the dimension that we cannot see. Is that what you mean?” Dora

  was stunned for a moment, and at first she seemed not to understand, but soon she reacted, smiled and nodded gently.

  ”This is the original explanation.”

  Ye Shi asked in confusion.

  ”The original explanation?”

  Dora nodded gently and said in a peaceful voice.

  ”Dimension is a very ancient word for us. A long, long time ago, you or your people taught us this way… How to understand the existence of the Tree of Insof, how to call Him, how to feed Him, and then become His branches.”

  Ye Shi roughly understood what she meant.

  In other words, those who survived the Gemini missile cruiser or the colony discovered the existence of the “Tree of Insof” during the period after the end of the three-year war, and mastered the ability to communicate with Him, and explained it with the physical theory of the Human Union, and then passed on the chewed knowledge to their descendants.

  But what is puzzling is why they did not continue to use the name of Gaia, but invented a separate proper noun to distinguish it from the original name. Do

  they want to indicate that Gaia is dead?

  Or did He evolve into another existence.

  Or, the Human Union’s initial understanding of Gaia was biased, and they patched up the original theory.

  Seeing that the ancestor did not speak, Dora cast her eyes on the wall made of tree roots in front of her.

  The fireflies floating around her seemed to be pulled by an unknown force and flew forward slowly.

  They gathered in a group in the air, like an index finger stopped on the page of a book, and froze on the first line of the article.

  ”We found a new way of life in the long years, and then we went to the forest again, abandoning everything we had and starting over. After the second day of judgment, we used the growth lines at the roots of the sacred tree to record the teachings of the sacred tree to us and what happened in the past.” The

  second day of judgment?

  Ye Shi frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

  ”Won’t this abstract pattern cause deviations in the recording of information?”

  ”No,” Dora shook her head and continued in a gentle tone, “Symbols are just forms. We can establish connections with the past through invisible bonds.”

  Hearing this, Ye Shi was completely shocked.

  Good guy.

  It was by extreme coincidence that he established contact with the crew of the Orion missile cruiser who was also in the hyperspace channel in the hyperspace channel.

  So these people are born with this ability?

  That’s not right.

  If we can establish a connection with the past, move the technology of future research to the past, and then reversely act on the future, wouldn’t we be able to step on the left foot and go to the sky with the right foot?

  However, what he saw was obviously not the case.

  At least according to the description of the Doma tribe itself, the technical ability of these forest people is far inferior to that of the “valley people” next door.

  As if seeing the confusion on Ye Shi’s face, Dora continued in a soft voice.

  ”The information that can be transmitted is limited. It must be the same belief, the same confusion, and the same question. Therefore, when this connection is established between different time and space, the information we get from the past is often more specific, while the revelation from the future tends to be abstract.”

  As the communication progressed, she seemed to understand more and more languages, and even could talk about some concepts that Ye Shi himself could not fully understand.

  After listening to her statement, Ye Shi praised her sincerely.

  ”Even so, it’s quite amazing.”

  After receiving the affirmation of the ancestor, Dora’s face showed a joyful smile, and she continued in a happy voice.

  ”These are the rules we discovered after you left… As you can see, we haven’t stopped exploring.”

  Ye Shi nodded and continued to ask.

  ”Is this the special ability of the Doma tribe? Or… everyone?”

  ”All tribes in the forest are like this,” Dora said in a soft voice, “Although we haven’t found a way to awaken this ability for everyone yet, as long as we live under the sacred tree, people with similar abilities will continue to appear from our tribe. There are as few as fifteen or sixteen, as many as forty or fifty, and I am one of them.”

  Ye Shi suddenly realized that his initial impression of them was inaccurate.

  He originally thought that the emergence of those special abilities hindered their understanding of the universe they live in, but now it seems that the facts are completely opposite –

  their vision is not only not blocked by invisible hands, but because they stand on the shoulders of giants, they can see farther and even contact the part of the universe that they and even the prosperous era of the human alliance do not fully understand in advance.

  By communicating with plants to accelerate the growth of plants, communicating with the past to retrieve lost technology, and even establishing connections with parallel time and space to obtain revelations from the future… These guys may actually be more awesome than he imagined!

  It’s just that the starting point is a lot lower.

  Admittedly, this “convenient ability” hindered their discovery of natural science.

  However, once they have established a relatively mature scientific research system through years of observation of nature, this enhanced perception may become a catalyst to accelerate their scientific and technological breakthroughs, making those coincidental “flash of inspiration” appear more frequently. It’s

  not just in the field of science.

  In a series of fields such as politics, economy, culture, military, industry, etc., this ability has the potential to become a catalyst.

  This talent is simply amazing!

  The more Ye Shi thought about it, the more shocked he was, and he even had the idea of ​​”this child must not be kept”, but suddenly he came back to his senses.

  Speaking of jumping out of the settings and framework of the game itself, aren’t “players” a similar existence?

  In fact, the existence of players has indeed promoted the prosperity of the alliance’s science, politics, economy, culture, military and other fields, and it is an explosive promotion!

  Under the influence of these “players”, the alliance has achieved development results that other survivor forces may not be able to achieve in more than ten years or even decades in just a few years.

  Ye Shi was completely shocked when he realized this.

  Good boy.

  I am the one who is so awesome?!

  Dora looked at the suddenly silent ancestor with a confused look on her face, and blinked her talking eyes curiously.

  This guy is always like this.

  He would suddenly stop talking, or stand there alone, not knowing who he was communicating with.

  But she didn’t wait too long. Soon, the ancestor standing in front of the “mural” in the temple seemed to come back to his senses and looked at her sincerely and said.

  ”Thank you… These materials are very important to us.”

  ”We have always kept your teachings in mind and have never slacked off in communicating with the sacred tree.” Dora nodded slightly respectfully, with a happy smile on her face.

  In the following time, Ye Shi asked many more questions.

  Especially about the origin of the tribes in the forest, the grievances between the forest tribe and the valley tribe – the so-called “sinners”, and what the so-called “from heaven” specifically refers to.

  And for these trivial inquiries, the temple maid named Dora also patiently answered them one by one.

  According to her, the people living on this land are all children who have survived thanks to the grace of the Tree of Insof.

  Before that, in the so-called “Old Era”, this planet once belonged to the “Ancestors” from heaven.

  At that time, people had all kinds of skin colors, different beliefs, spoke almost the same Old Era language, and lived in a paradise that is unimaginable today…

  Until the first “Day of Judgment” came, countless scorching suns fell from the sky, turning the prosperous surface world into charcoal, and completely destroyed everything in the Old Era. Only a few young children survived on the entire land.

  Just when the world fell into despair, the branches of the Tree of Insof drilled out of the soil and stretched out the first buds to the gray sky.

  No one knows where He came from, or maybe He has always been there and lives under people’s feet.

  It’s just that He slept for so long that he forgot the concept of time until he was awakened recently.

  Faced with the gradually declining world, the merciful Him brought down a miracle and gave green skin to the believers, allowing them to bathe in the sun and get enough food to survive the years without food.

  Not only that.

  Under the effect of His miracle, the dead world began to revive gradually, and in just two decades, the entire planet was transformed from an endless wasteland into a forest.

  A new era began.

  For some reason, the people who survived the Day of Judgment forgot everything in the past, including the text and history of the old era.

  Even this memory of the Day of Judgment and the “ancestor” came from the narration of the Tree of Insof.

  Of course, these are all things that happened later.

  People who have just entered the new era have not yet realized the existence of the “Tree of Insof”. Although the people who changed their skin survived, they lived more like animals. It is

  for this reason that Dora called this initial period the “Barbaric Era”.

  At that time, people were like beasts. The only difference between them and primitive animals was that their calls were more special.

  When Ye Shi heard this, he couldn’t help sweating.

  It can be seen that these guys don’t remember the three-year war and the things before the three-year war at all, so they still have a layer of worship filter for these “ancestors”.

  If they knew that the so-called “Day of Judgment” was actually the neutron plume fired by the murderous Human United Aerospace Army, I wonder if they would still look at their compatriots on Earth with worshipful eyes like now.

  But on the other hand, at this moment, Ye Shi can almost confirm that these “little green men” are transformed from Earthlings.

  The “Tree of Insof” probably changed their genes, suspected that they gained photosynthesis or similar abilities, so that they survived the most difficult period.

  But then again, can photosynthesis really be done by humans? !

  On Earth, he only heard that some nudibranchs can photosynthesize, such as some sea slugs… However, even sea slugs can do it with the help of algae cells, not completely on their own.

  However, these little green people obviously do not rely entirely on their own power to photosynthesize. They also need to eat.

  Ye Shi suddenly wanted to borrow some DNA from the girl in front of him to study.

  There was no other intention.

  It was purely out of curiosity.

  Dora looked at Ye Shi and continued, not knowing what strange things the ancestor in front of him was thinking about.

  ”In the third decade after that, that is, the 50th year of the Savage Era, we met the ancestors again. They appeared suddenly, a total of 17 people, wearing the same armor as you, speaking the same language as you.”

  ”They helped us a lot, taught us to make fire, taught us to hunt, and most importantly… with their help, we realized that we were different from all things, ignited… the fire of civilization, and discovered the existence of the Tree of Insof.”

  ”Did they help you find the Tree of Insof?” Ye Shi looked at her in surprise, a little confused by this information.

  These 17 people should be the crew of the Gemini?

  The crew of the Orion is dead, and this is a certainty. It can only be the living people on the other side.

  If he remembered correctly, the crew of the Gemini missile cruiser should be “extreme conservatives”. How could this group of people take the initiative to help the survivors living on the surface to seek help from the existence suspected to be “Gaia”?

  This is really the sun rising from the west.

  Of course, it is not ruled out that things are not as absolute as he thought. Perhaps not everyone on the Gemini missile cruiser is an extreme conservative.

  What’s more, they called the discovery on this planet “Insof Tree”, which may have recognized the difference between Him and Gaia.

  Or, they just want to use the power of “Insof Tree” to pull down these compatriots who are almost turning into monkeys from the tree.

  But then again, Ye Shi didn’t expect that these 17 surviving crew members would float in the sky for 30 years before landing.

  He and Jiang Xuezhou had always thought that the “Gemini Fall” and the “Orion Incident” occurred in the same period, or even at the same time.

  Feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of history, Ye Shi couldn’t help asking.

  ”Then what?”

  Dora continued to say.

  ”Then, with the help of the Insof Tree, we got to know each other, and with their help, we gradually mastered the way to communicate with the Insof Tree and all things in the world, and perfected our own language.”

  ”That was the first time we realized our existence and our place in the world… In your words, we used only ten years to complete a journey that would have taken thousands of years, and we therefore called that period the ‘Age of Awakening’.” The Age of Awakening

  was okay.

  Ye Shi thought she would use the term “Age of Prosperity”.

  Facing the rows of angular growth lines on the wall, Dora’s eyes were filled with nostalgia.

  Those psychic eyes seemed to have really returned to that era, the “Age of Prosperity” that belonged to the people living on this land.

  ”That was a really good time. We lived in the Forbidden Forest Valley, and everyone lived there. It was also at that time that the Tree of Insof told us that we came from a star in the sky, where our ancestors lived. We once quarreled over some things, which led to the coming of Judgment Day, but the future is bright, and sooner or later we will meet again.”

  ”But the good times didn’t last long… In the second decade of the Awakening Era, our ancestors had serious disagreements, and this disagreement eventually caused the predicted Judgment Day to come again.”

  When Dora said this, a hint of sadness appeared on her face, and she sighed softly and continued.

  ”Some of the original ancestors left the Forbidden Valley and went deep into the forest, while the rest continued to live with us. Soon after, a burning palace fell from the sky and destroyed the sacred tree in the Forbidden Valley—the branch of the Tree of Insof that remained on the surface.”

  ”Our misfortune began there. The forest caught fire, and the flames engulfed everything. Thousands of people died in the flames, and only a few survived… And those who had left the Forbidden Forest came back with weapons, snatched the holy land from us, and imprisoned, sacrificed, and exiled the rest of us.”

  ”But fortunately, only the branches of the Tree of Insof were burned, and His children had already foreseen the dangers of the future through the mist of time. We who left the Forbidden Valley established a new home in the vast forest.”

  ”In contrast, the holy land that the criminals snatched from us has become a cage to imprison them. Without the protection of the holy tree, they can’t move in the forest. Everything in the forest is their enemy. In order to survive, they can only compete with birds and beasts for wild grass seeds and hide in the cold stones to survive…” Ye

  Shi couldn’t help swallowing his saliva when he heard this.

  ”Don’t you hate us?”

  ”Why should we hate you?”

  Dora looked at Ye Shiyi in confusion and continued in a gentle voice.

  ”If it weren’t for you, we might never realize the difference between ourselves and wild beasts, and we wouldn’t live in prosperity and abundance like today. The Tree of Insof has warned us more than once that we should learn lessons from past memories and not let the disaster that has happened happen again.”

  Looking at Dora blankly, Ye Shi suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart, and for a moment he didn’t know how to face that simple look.

  Maybe Jiang Xuezhou was right.

  He did mess things up.

  There was a better choice in front of him, but he chose the worst one without hesitation.

  Even though he thought what he did was just turning a blind eye.

  In his subconscious, he only wanted to inherit the nearly unlimited power of the Human Alliance era, but subconsciously forgot the comrades who had fought side by side with him. What was handed to him was not only the “ship key” of the Orion missile cruiser, but also the responsibilities they had shouldered. They

  handed the starship to him because they trusted him.

  Fortunately, it was not too late when he realized this.

  There was still a chance to remedy everything.

  ”…I may have done something bad.” Ye Shi took a deep breath, looked at Dora who was confused, and said in a serious tone, “Do you have a way to get in touch with the sinners in the valley?”

  Dora was stunned and looked at him with a puzzled look.

  ”Get in touch with the sinners… Why?”

  She couldn’t understand.

  Since the ancestors had chosen them, why did they have to find their enemies.

  ”I want to talk to them.”

  Looking at the confused face, Ye Shi said sincerely.

  ”Perhaps, I can help you settle the grievances of the past 200 years and let the whole incident end in a more satisfactory way–”

  In fact, there are many ways.

  Especially as the “first ancestor”.

  At most, he can coax Jiang Xuezhou to admit his mistakes and let her cooperate with him to play the role of a charlatan again.

  Believe in her kindness, she will definitely not refuse!

  Dora looked at him blankly, and her lips moved as she was about to say something.

  However, at this moment, a respectful and majestic voice suddenly floated from behind the two of them.

  ”It’s too late, respected first ancestor, we have nothing to talk about with the sinners.”

  ”You want to disobey my will?” Ye Shi’s face fell, and he said this sentence that even he himself felt was second-year.

  However, this second-year explosive line seemed to have some effect.

  In front of “mortals”, “gods” are indeed still somewhat majestic.

  Even if this mortal is not an ordinary mortal.

  Standing at the entrance of the temple, Tunnan was silent for a while, and slowly opened his mouth to continue.

  ”I dare not disobey your will, but for the future of your children… please get some sleep.”

  Haha.

  This is better said than sung.

  Ye Shi sneered, his right hand was already on his waist, and he pulled out a pistol.

  This guy is not going to accept the toast.

  Admit that these guys have something, such as the green crystal spear, such as the magical “psychic ability”.

  But relying on this trick to deal with his “guns and cannons” is more or less a pipe dream.

  Of course, he didn’t want to do anything to that “little A Guang”, let alone kill that guy, but he still had to teach him a lesson.

  He accepted Brother Guang riding on his neck, so how dare you?

  However, just when Ye Shi was thinking this in his heart, he heard Jiujiu’s voice coming through the door.

  ”Brother, I ate your takeaway!”

  ”Hehehe… I can’t hear you anyway, so I’ll leave you a chicken bone.”

  His head sank, and Ye Shi’s face suddenly changed. The icon of [Connection Abnormal] appeared in front of him.

  ”What the hell?!”

  Disconnected?!

  You can’t play it like this! ?
