The dinner was almost finished. Now that the main course had been served, Grace served Allen and Alice desserts and filled them with wine. Then, he retreated to the door and became a gatekeeper. The old man knew that Alice didn't want anyone else to be around now, so he sent all the maids out, leaving only himself to serve the two of them.
He was blind, but there was something warm and excited in his face as he looked at Alice. Because what Alice was going to say next would definitely involve her own secrets, and because Alice had acquiesced in him staying, this was a great trust. He thought that although there were many housekeepers who had served Alice, none of them had such a privilege. This expert, who had once turned the clouds with one hand in the Great Wasteland, was now like a child who had received candy for the first time, unable to resist the excitement in his heart.
Alice took a sip of "red wine" and said, "You may find it hard to believe, but in fact, I am not a naturally born life, but an artificial creation. I am an artificial life form."
When Allen heard about the "creator", he had a vague feeling that Alice's background would not be simple. However, when he heard "artificial life form", his fingers still trembled. Today, artificial life was no longer a rare technology. Even the Earth Federation had this level of technology. However, artificial life had little intelligence and needed to be implanted with a brain chip in order to carry out some simple tasks. In the history of the Federation, there was a period of time when the Federation government planned to replace soldiers with artificial life. This was an extension of Adahua Planet's modified warriors.
However, because the cost was too high, and although the artificial soldiers implanted with chips would faithfully carry out orders, they were eliminated due to their lack of adaptability. In the end, the plan was halted halfway through.
Now that Alice claimed to be an artificial life form, she must be the most intelligent, powerful, and mentally resilient artificial life form that Allen knew.
"When I first opened my eyes, the planet was still very barren. Apart from wild beasts, there were no higher life forms on Agares. With me, the Barbarians came to be. I am the mother of Spennak. I am the mother of all the Barbarians. I am the mother of all beings. If the people on this planet also believe in God. "Alice shrugged." Unfortunately, they believe in their own power more. "
It was another shocking piece of news.
Allen suddenly felt that his imagination was so empty. He believed that Alice had an incomparably long lifespan, but he never imagined that she alone was the history of the entire Barr race. After all, she was the source.
Seeing Allen move his lips, Alice smiled and said, "A gentleman doesn't ask a woman's age. If you want to ask me how long I've lived, I can only tell you a very long time. It had been so long that I had to choose to forget some things so that I wouldn't go crazy. Yes, every time I wake up from my slumber, I will clear some of my memories and only keep the most important ones. For example, about my creator. "
"That's impossible. There's nothing eternal in the universe. Even planets would be born and destroyed, let alone life. Even if it's an artificial lifeform, it can't escape the fate of death … "
Alice picked up a piece of soft cake with a silver fork and put it in her mouth to chew. "Who told you that I won't die? I will die, too. In fact, I've died hundreds of times. It's just that after death, I will be reborn. After rebirth, I am extremely weak. I only retain my memories and experience. My strength and spiritual power need to be regained through growth. So I need generals and troops to protect me. I am now at my peak. The next time I wake up from my slumber, I will begin to enter a period of weakness and directly walk towards death. "
"Death is not my end. Reincarnation is my destiny. That's all."
Allen drank all the wine in his glass, still unable to calm the shock in his heart. But shock was shock. He still used his brain and tried to keep up with Alice's thoughts. When he put down the glass, his movements suddenly froze, and the glass hung in the air. A moment later, it was gently placed on the table. Allen faced the mysterious woman. "What's the meaning? What's the meaning of such an immortal reincarnation? "
"Life is limited by lifespan. That's why it can burst forth with infinite brilliance in a limited time. If life becomes a boring process like you, don't you think it's all meaningless? "
Alice stretched out her finger and gently turned the rim of the glass. "Yes, what's the meaning? I've asked myself more than once, what's the meaning of this? Unfortunately, I don't know how and when to die, or how to really die. I can't commit suicide either. The creator must've buried some kind of command in my genes for this situation. Whenever I think of suicide, I will automatically go into a deep sleep. "
"In the end, the only meaning of my life is to wait for him to come back."
"Who?"
"The creator." Alice looked at her glass, and saw her face reflected in it. Then she looked at herself and said, `In the old memory that I have, the Creator said something when he went away. He said that I would come back, and I believe that he will come back. There is no reason for it at all. I even suspect that this is one of his orders. It's just a more tactful order. No matter what, I will wait. Even if it's a thousand years, ten thousand years, until the universe is destroyed. As long as I haven't really died, I will wait. "
"If I don't do this, then my existence is meaningless, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Allen felt sad for her. She had a long life and power comparable to a supreme being, but there was no meaning for her to live. Such a life was paler than death.
"Don't show such a sad expression." Alice shook her head and said gently, "After all, I didn't wait in vain because you came."
"Me?"
"Yes, didn't I say that you have his aura on you?" Alice stood up and untied the hair net on her head, letting her long hair fall like silk. She walked towards Allen, wiped the edge of the table with her hand, and said softly, "Because I felt your aura, I woke up more than 300 years earlier than the scheduled time. Originally, I thought that the creator had finally returned. It wasn't until I saw you that I knew it wasn't the case. But I'm not disappointed. I believe that there must be some connection between you and him. It's also because of this connection that I'm sure that you can help me do that thing. "
Allen sighed and said, "To be honest, your strength is above mine. Why don't you go to Demonic Ring City yourself? Also, you and Sbernak … "
"That child used to be my favorite treasure." Alice came to Allen's side, turned around, and gently leaned against the table. She put her hands on the table and looked out of the window, her eyes blurry. "At the beginning of time, Agares was very young and very desolate. The creator and I came to this planet, and he built something here. That place is the ancient ruin I told you about. In order to protect this place, the creator tore open the earth, resulting in the current Lost Abyss. And in the middle of this abyss, connected to the ground of the Forgotten Realm, he erected the Black Gate of Canon. "
She turned her face slightly and smiled faintly at Allen. "I was the original gatekeeper. After the creator left, I guarded that place for 1,200 years. But after that, I found that nothing could enter the Black Gate. Agares' beasts didn't even dare to approach the Abyss. Whether it was the aura left behind by me or the creator, they were instinctively afraid. "
"So I left the Black Gate and traveled around. At first, I would be curious about new things. But after hundreds of years of traveling like this, I got tired of it. This planet was too desolate, and I was too lonely. I returned to the Black Gate and settled down nearby. Then I began to create life. There was no lack of such knowledge in my memory, but I lacked experience. Therefore, almost all the lives created in the early stages were failures. It wasn't until I combined my own cells with Agares' primordial life that I finally succeeded. "
"That was the first Barbarian on Agares."
The shock in Allen's heart could no longer be expressed in words. So this was how the Barbarians came about. What came out of Alice's mouth was simply a myth or legend. Could it be that she called herself a living god? After calming himself down, Allen's heart trembled and he said, "Then the tolerance in the Barbarian gene …"
"It came from me."
Allen was shocked again. If that was the case, then Alice was very similar to the Queen Bug on Paradise Planet. The difference between the two was only the difference in life forms, but the essence was the same. Alice continued, "At that time, I just wanted the new life to better adapt to the environment. After all, there were too many examples of previous failures that died because they couldn't adapt to the environment. That's why I thought of using my own cells as the foundation, but I didn't expect that the new life I created would also inherit my genes that were compatible with other life forms, and that they would absorb and evolve. "
"With this characteristic, the Barbarian race grew rapidly. I'm willing to bet that no other race in the universe will grow faster than my children. They grew too fast. It only took a few hundred years for them to develop from a primitive and ignorant stage to an early civilization. And when they walked out of Agares, their evolution speed became even faster … "
At this point, Alice paused and said, "Spenak, I used to call Naber's child. It was born when the Barbarians just walked out of Agares … "
