Don't Starve, my items can be upgraded

Chapter 301 Limited Energy?

"The 'person' you mentioned..."

Yang Chen roughly understood: "Is it the quality or height of the rules?"

"It's not impossible for you to understand it this way."

Si Kongming nodded: "The higher the quality of the rules, the greater the power."

At this moment, he suddenly saw a star in the distant starry sky cracking, and the light was extinguishing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Suddenly, a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

So he took out a communicator and quickly gave orders, asking the others to evacuate first.

Because prop master Yang Chen wants to sacrifice the entire parallel universe, any living being in this parallel universe will become a target and be included, sharing the pressure on the parallel universe.

And with his knowledge, he naturally knew that in this situation, perhaps even Yang Chen, the prop master, would not be able to stop.

Once this sacrificial ceremony begins, unless it is forcibly interrupted, it will definitely cause great harm to Yang Chen, the prop master.

If they don’t want to completely tear each other apart, it’s better not to do this kind of thing. Otherwise, no matter whether they can kill Yang Chen, the prop master, in the end, they will suffer heavy losses.

Although the multiverse government has no shortage of deified people, everyone's life is life.

If there are too many missions where death is inevitable, even the multiverse government will be resisted.

It just so happened that now they realized that Yang Chen, the prop master, might not necessarily be an enemy, and might even be a very good ally.

Now is the right time to stop and withdraw from this parallel universe.

While they reduced casualties, they would also relieve the pressure on Yang Chen.

"Since the original ore of [Time Origin] has been used up, although it is a pity, I am not the kind of person who would dwell on it."

He looked at Yang Chen in the distant starry sky: "I once again invite Master Yang Chen to join the Multiverse Government. Let's work together to find the final truth. How about it?"

"What is the truth you are talking about?"

Yang Chen asked without changing his expression: "Can you reveal a little bit?"

Sikong Ming thought about it, and suddenly said: "Theoretically, the lifespan of a deified person is endless. Although I feel old now, I am still young. This theory may not be absolute, but Master Yang Chen knows that I have lived for 10 billion years."

“Hundreds of billions of years…” Yang Chen was surprised.

"My Sikong family also developed from primitive civilization. Currently, in Area A18, my Sikong family is the only dominant family."

Sikong Ming's tone did not sound like he was showing off, but just stating something: "A18 District can be said to be the one-man show of my Sikong family. More than 18% of the people in the entire district have the surname Sikong. The entire A District also has another nickname - Sikong Civilization."

"What do you want to say?" Yang Chen asked.

"What I want to say is that I have lived for 10 billion years, and the history of the Sikong family is more than 30 billion years. Even in the family history records, there has never been a civilization that successfully leapt."

Sikong Ming said: “Although there have been legends countless years ago that the top sixth-level civilization successfully leapt to the upper dimension and successfully advanced to a high-level civilization, but even with the background of my Sikong family, we have never found any clues.” “You mean…” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes, I suspect that the existence of advanced civilizations is still unknown."

Si Kongming said, "30 billion years. You may not be able to imagine how long that is, but I can tell you that, in theory, a civilization with great potential, if it does not perish halfway, can develop from a zero-level civilization to a sixth-level civilization in just 10 million years. Such civilizations are not uncommon in the lower dimensions. In the long period of 30 billion years, as far as I know, more than a thousand sixth-level civilizations have been born."

"Then why are there only ninety-nine level six civilizations now?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

"because……"

Sikong Ming paused, and said with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "The lower dimension can only accommodate ninety-nine level six civilizations at most."

“The meaning of being able to accommodate is…” Yang Chen’s heart moved.

"I guess Master Yang Chen has also seen the Rule Thunder in Area G0134 before, right?"

Si Kongming said: "Once the 100th level 6 civilization appears, the entire lower dimension will be covered by that kind of rule thunder, and will attack indiscriminately, so..."

He paused for a moment before revealing a very cruel truth: "Once a Level 5 civilization is about to be promoted to Level 6, it will be suppressed in various ways, or even exterminated, and a civilization war will inevitably break out. There was once a Level 5 civilization that came from behind and destroyed other Level 6 civilizations and replaced them, but now we Level 6 civilizations don't want to experience a civilization war again, so we united together, and the Multiverse Government came into being."

"The multiverse government was born in such an environment?"

Yang Chen was very surprised.

Si Kongming continued, "Based on our endless years of exploration, we know that the lower dimension is infinite and can theoretically accommodate endless level six civilizations. But the truth is very cruel. Once the level six civilization exceeds ninety-nine, it will be destroyed. This matter has puzzled me for tens of billions of years. It was not until not long ago... about thirty thousand years ago that we finally found some clues."

"What is it?" Yang Chen asked hurriedly.

"energy!"

Si Kongming said with a complicated look in his eyes: "We once thought that the sixth-level civilization could continuously draw energy from the dimensional void, and to some extent could even create energy from nothing, but we were wrong. The energy of the lower dimensions is limited."

"Energy is limited?" Yang Chen was surprised.

"The technology of the sixth-level civilization is too powerful, but all of that technology requires endless energy to maintain."

Si Kongming explained: "You must have seen it before. The thermal weapons of a level six civilization, even if operated by an ordinary person, can easily destroy a star system. If that ordinary person is given a little time, it is easy to destroy the entire parallel universe. But all of this is based on energy."

He explained to Yang Chen the energy source of super technology: "The thermal weapons of the sixth-level civilization no longer need to be loaded with batteries and other items, but can directly draw energy from the void. Theoretically, the energy is inexhaustible, but it was not until 30,000 years ago that we discovered that this theory is wrong. The energy of the lower dimension has a limit. Even if it is just to maintain the operation of civilization and prevent war from breaking out, the energy of the lower dimension can only supply ninety-nine sixth-level civilizations."

“So what you mean is that once the energy consumption is too great, there will be thunder of destruction?” Yang Chen understood.

"That's right. This is also why the God Realm attracted the Thunder of Rules hundreds of years ago. This is at least one of the reasons."

Sikong Ming replied: "Although we haven't found where the God Realm is, we can detect that with the appearance of the God Realm, the energy of the entire lower dimension is rapidly decreasing. Therefore, the Lord of the Dimension is ready to launch the Disaster of Destruction again. To solve this problem, we must either find the God Realm and destroy it, or... reduce the number of people, that is, reduce the number of Level 6 civilizations."

After a pause, he spoke again: "But we still have backup options, such as... migrating to the God Realm. But we don't know where the God Realm is. We have never heard of anyone ascending to the God Realm after hundreds of years of information we have obtained."
