Li Yao scooped up a handful of black sea water and found that the sea water was like a mixture of mucus and sand, spilling from his fingers in a very strange shape.

It seems that the collapse of the virtual spirit world has affected the core logic layer, and even the dynamic model of sea water cannot be kept stable, resulting in various strange changes.

This is a deserted world, and Li Yao did not feel the strong breath of life.

After walking along the beach for a long time, the only thing that can be called "life" is that it can be seen everywhere on the beach, like a deflated ball, but still has countless tentacles, like a strange thing mixed with crabs and jellyfish.

These weird big crabs were motionless, emitting a very unpleasant smell of rottenness. I don’t know if they were dead or "live".

They are naturally not virtual lives produced by the virtual world themselves, but artificial intelligence added when constructing the virtual world. The initial plan was to use them to modulate the original ocean, monitor various data changes in the virtual sea water, and accelerate the birth of virtual life.

However, with the collapse of the virtual spirit world, not only did virtual life not be born, but even the core databases of these artificial intelligence have become more and more tedious, with large amounts of data overflowing, falling into a dead loop, and no instructions can be run.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

In the purple sky, zigzag clouds rolled weakly, and thunder were thundering in one stroke, but the thunder was only the first half but not the second half. It was like a rooster stuck in its neck. The sound of abrupt ending sounded indescribably uncomfortable.

On the other side of the beach is an endless city. Li Yao looked into the distance and found that this ultra-modern city seemed to have experienced the most serious earthquake and meteorite bombardment. There were ruins everywhere, and the burning traces of explosions and blazing flames looked even more desperate and silent than the black sea.

"Hello"

The Void Spirit World gives Li Yao a very uncomfortable feeling.

It seems that the entire universe is left with this collapsed world, and in this collapsed world, he is the only one left.

He couldn't help but shrank his neck and shouted loudly.

Long Yangjun, Wei Qingqing and Professor Xie Wufeng and other inspectors actually arrived on the beach not far from him, but no one responded to his call.

When Li Yao finally found the large army and wondered why they did not respond to him, he found that no matter whether it was Long Yangjun, Professor Xie Wufeng, who was a mysterious person, Wei Qingqing, and all the inspectors, they were all stunned at the beach.

Li Yao stretched his neck, looked at the beach, and slowly opened his mouth wide.

He saw a long scroll, or hundreds of sand paintings, from the other end of the beach to this end.

The initial sand painting method was very immature, just like a child picking up a branch and sketching it casually on the beach. He couldn't understand what was being painted, it was completely messy lines.

Gradually, the sand paintings have their own content and skeletons. Although they still look extremely immature, they have a unique and rough style, which reminds Li Yao of the murals left by the cavemen in the depths of the cave.

The content of the sand painting seems to be all kinds of bizarre fungi blankets, monoalgae, nautilus and trilobites in the depths of the primitive ocean, and strange things.

As various primitive marine creatures gradually evolve, the brushstrokes of sand paintings become more and more sophisticated, and the content arrangements are becoming more and more refined. The fine grains of sand are used to depict a long scroll of biological evolution to the fullest and lifelike.

Marine creatures, reptiles, mammals, primates, enlightenment of Pangu civilization, the birth of modern humans, the division of humans, wars and development, sand paintings are getting bigger and bigger in scale and more complex in structure, developing from plane to three-dimensional, until the end, they can no longer be called "sand paintings". Instead, a huge sand sculpture is a cute child of a man and a woman, sitting alone on the surface of a devastated planet, with fleshy little hands holding their cheeks, as if looking up at the starry sky.

But in front of them were dense tombstones of human tombstones.

The two children's eyes condensed from sand and gravel could not see any light. They had no sorrow, no joy, no fear or anger at the tombstones that flooded the entire world.

Li Yao swallowed with difficulty. He vaguely felt that such a long roll of sand painting looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

By the way, isn’t this the sand painting version of the entrance of the Fire Base, which is both illusory and real half-step in the illusion of the illusion of the realm of the illusion?

However, at the end of the "Evolutionary Road" created by Professor Mo Xuan, what replaced humans were some large silver-white balls condensed from liquid metal similar to his body.

But at the end of this sand painting, although the entire planet is covered with human tombstones, there are still two children looking up at the starry sky. What does this mean?

Li Yao was a little dry and asked Xie Wufeng softly: "Professor Xie, what does this mean? Who left this sand painting? Professor Mo Xuan?"

"I don't know, but it's really... strange."

Professor Xie Wufeng pondered, "Everything in the virtual world is calculated in real time, just like the real world, it will constantly change. Look at the ebb and flow of the tide here, although it is weak and slow, it still exists. And from the shape of the beach, not long ago, the rise and fall of the tide was much more violent than it is now. The sea water at high tide was enough to submerge the sand paintings."

"That's right."

Wei Qingqing also said, "Although the Void Spirit World in the past collapsed, it was not completely still, but was running even more violently and irregularly. It was a world of landslides, lightning and thunder, strong winds roaring, and storm waves. If this sand painting was left at that time, it would definitely be erased, or, 'deleted'."

“That is,”

Li Yao thought carefully for a moment, "This sand painting was left behind not long ago, after the 'life' of the Void Spirit Realm gradually dried up and turned into a dying and still world?

"That's almost the critical moment when Professor Mo Xuan was preparing to launch his final plan. Why did he leave such strange traces here at that time? If he had to 'express' something, the illusory realm of the Fire Base would be enough to explain his ideas.

"And, the initial tender and rough brushstrokes did not look like Professor Mo Xuan's style, but they looked like innocent and innocent children.

"The question is, besides Professor Mo Xuan, is there anyone else in the Void Spirit World? Will such a painting be left?"

“The brush strokes and styles are both simulated.”

Professor Xie Wufeng said, "Creating such a piece of sand is not complicated in itself. Both technology and computing power are a piece of cake. As long as the database is large enough, input a command into the crystal brain, it can be completed in an instant.

"The key is, who issued this 'instruction' to whom, and what purpose is it?"

This question caused everyone to silence. Every member of the inspection team felt chills on the back of his head, as if he had two pairs of shiny little eyes hiding among the sand and looking at them with a smile.

Li Yao knelt on one knee and carefully observed the sand paintings. For some reason, he felt extremely strange, feeling that these sand paintings brought him a sense of unreasonable intimacy?

It was like a faint electric current sweeping across his body, making him feel numb from his eyelids to his lips. It was not a pleasurable or uncomfortable thing.

How could he say that these sand portraits were written by himself, or if he had allowed himself to describe the evolutionary path of life, he would probably have painted it like this.

Li Yao was shocked, calmed down, and continued to ask: "Have you found the fragments of 'No. 17' and 'No. 18'?"

"not yet."

Professor Xie Wufeng said, "That was originally some fragmented and illusory runes and data fragments, and it would not be surprising that they were completely wiped out by the Void Spirit World.

"Why, do you suspect that this sand painting was left behind by 'No. 17' and 'No. 18'? This is also possible. Suppose Professor Mo Xuan first embedded a command related to the sand painting in their bodies, which was automatically activated under certain conditions, driving them to leave these things. Well, this is a fairly reasonable explanation.

"Let's go and take a look in the city."

The expedition team followed the cracks and weeds and entered the once majestic and now dilapidated city by the sea.

Li Yao discovered that this city is a collection of all cities in human civilization from ancient times to the present, with antique pavilions and towers and modern glass curtain walls and skyscrapers closely combined.

There are strange peaks and waterfalls splashing there. Here is the vacuum track that pierces the sky and the sunken square that reaches hundreds of meters deep.

However, after experiencing the collapse of the Void Spirit Realm, this "City of Ten Thousand Cities" completely turned into ruins. Whether it is pavilions, towers or skyscrapers, they are all entangled with weeds and vines. The waterfalls are dried up, the pipelines are broken, and the sunken square is full of wreckage and dust, like the tomb of human civilization.

"Professor Mo Xuan once talked to me about his idea of ​​creating virtual life."

Looking at the empty streets and the boned city, Professor Xie Wufeng sighed, "At that time, Professor Mo Xuan firmly believed that a new virtual life would be born, but he did not want to create a virtual life that humans cannot understand, cannot understand, and are not controlled by humans, and are enemies of humans.

"How to say it, he hopes to create a virtual life that has human ideas and emotions, recognizes human morals and values, and even regards himself as the "son of mankind", or an evolutionary version of human beings.

"So, while creating that 'virtual primitive ocean', he also built this brilliant city, bringing together the essence of human civilization, including our technology, law, morality, art and heroic stories.
