Roland's heart sank.
This opening was similar to the last words of the fugitives from the Union — mortals could not defeat demons. Through the handwriting, he could even vaguely feel the author's pessimism and despair.
"The world is so distorted, but we don't notice it at all. "
"Knowing that the Force of Nature comes from the Erosion of Loopholes, most of our kind still regard it as a gift from God, just because it can bring extraordinary. "
"Extraordinary makes us feel lucky to be a part of it, but it also blinds us. "
"It's time to wake up. "
"Although I don't know if everything is too late. "
The short opening made Roland's eyelids twitch. As the creator of the Dream World, he always felt that these words had a hidden meaning. Did someone find out that the world was just an illusory dream and wanted everyone to wake up as soon as possible? The problem was that he could still return to reality after waking up, but where could these people go?
As for the description of the Force of Nature, he felt the same way.
The pleasure of becoming an extraordinary was even stronger than holding the power. It was difficult for ordinary people to associate the power they had with disasters. Even if they knew the truth, they would resist thinking about it because they were reluctant to let it go.
In the next dozens of pages, the book did not explain the conclusion of the opening, but changed the direction — why only human beings could use the Force of Nature.
The content of the photos and the abstract was basically some modern scientific experiments and archaeological discoveries, the description also returned to the theme of the book.
"Too much evidence shows that intelligence is not the key to awakening. In the long history of the world, there have been both demented Fallen Evils and natural martialists. Apart from the intelligence that we are proud of, we are essentially no different from other animals. Our genes are highly similar, and we all have the same origin. In the face of Erosion, we should be as inseparable as cold-blooded reptiles basking in the sun. Whether it is frogs, snakes or lizards, the warm sun will treat them the same, but why is the Force of Nature different? "
Is it because human beings are the lucky ones on the road of evolution? As soon as this idea came to Roland, he found that the author seemed to have guessed his thoughts. "Most people will use the lucky ones as an excuse, just like the geocentric theory in the past — but in fact, the earth is not the center of the universe, and human beings are not the only species that can use the Force of Nature. "
[Looking at history, we can see that the records of civilization always show a gap in development. For example, in the myths that have been passed down to this day, most of the descriptions of supernatural powers are concentrated in the period of two thousand years ago — far later than the time when humans learned to record. It was as if we were suddenly enlightened and possessed unimaginable power. The descriptions of the enemies also increased correspondingly. There were demons, ancient beasts, monsters, and mutants. They all looked different, but they had one thing in common: mortals were utterly defeated in front of them. Only awakened heroes could fight against them. "
[Although there is no direct evidence, I still believe that those aliens were not created out of thin air by the ancients, but a species that really existed. Their abilities are no different from ours, which is why the myths of that period are so vivid. "
[At this point, some people might think that even the Archean mosquitoes could preserve their corpses in amber, but they didn't. This is too far-fetched. But on the other hand, it is because they disappeared so completely that it is even more strange, isn't it? There are so many unimaginable ruins in the world, many of which are completely opposite to the living habits of humans, and some of which are not even possible for people of that era. But we stubbornly divide them according to which branch of civilization they belong to, and give all the credit to the local aborigines. This is really overestimating ourselves. "
[In order to find the answer, I visited those ruins one by one. During this journey, I made some surprising discoveries. Although those aliens did not leave behind bones or hair, the marks carved on the stone would not disappear. In a secret room in the ruins of a volcano, through the carvings on the wall, I saw the past of a civilization. "
Turning to this page, Roland could already confirm that this was indeed a book created in the Dream World — he had never seen the ancient buildings in the black-and-white photos. More importantly, the volcanic ruins mentioned by the martialist at the end were quite similar to the style of the demons' Blackrock Tower!
[It was not a coincidence that they obtained the power of nature and then became enemies with humans. This was like a meeting arranged by God, and they regarded defeating their opponents as a reward for the power bestowed by God. "
[I know it is difficult to describe the specific content of the carvings with words alone, but I can feel it — if humans can learn their language, I think the most suitable word is probably the Battle of Divine Will. "
Is this the place that Lan was referring to?
Roland licked his slightly dry lips and continued to read.
[But this is not what I want to say — if they obtained power just for a war, then it would have ended long ago. No matter what God is, it has nothing to do with humans. However, some things are worse than we think. According to the description on the carvings... it is not the first time they have done this. "
The handwriting on the page gradually became less neat, and the number of ink spots and emotional words increased, as if the writer was also hesitating whether to continue writing.
[These aliens did not originally live on the same planet as us. The outbreak of the war caused a great change in their environment, but they were prepared for it. It was not as simple as degenerating from a forest into a desert, nor was it as gradual as the transformation of nomads into an agricultural civilization. Damn, I do not know how to express this part of the content. To use a perhaps not so appropriate example, such a change is like an atomic transition. Before obtaining energy, it is at a level, and after obtaining energy, it will jump to a higher level. There is no process in between, and there is no intermediate level. It is like teleporting to a higher level in the blink of an eye. "
[To be honest, I do not care how many changes they have experienced, but the problem is, now that they no longer exist, why is the Erosion and Awakening still continuing? Or... the Battle of Divine Will is not over at all? "
[The more I think about this question, the more frightened I am. What kind of world are we living in? Are the Fallen Evils really just martialists tempted by power? I feel myself being sucked into a whirlpool. "
[If the answer is no, then what are we facing? "
[The so-called gifts and rewards are all lies. "
"The only difference is that it has changed —"
The words came to an abrupt end, leaving only a long series of scratches, as if the writer had suddenly lost all his strength and let the pen in his hand fall to the ground.
— Does no one know who wrote this book?
— Why did he write it as unknown if he knew? It was said that the writer died before he finished writing it, and the Association could not find any record of him.
Thinking of the previous conversation, Roland could not help but feel a chill from the soles of his feet.
Not to mention, too many parts of this book were filled with a strange atmosphere. Although it was clearly about the Dream World, it always gave him a sense of déjà vu.
He could not wait to take out his phone and wanted to call Garcia.
In any case, there were too many questions in his mind that he needed her to answer.
Just then, his elbow accidentally knocked over the book on the table, and a piece of red paper slid out of it.
Roland was stunned for a moment, then he bent down to pick it up.
There were two rows of small words written on it.
[The day the Divine Will appears, the appointed time to meet. "
