Lan Mu was getting more and more confused about this world. Everything was too strange, too bizarre.
Nalmai was not surprised to see him. It was as if everything was just an act.
That was why he immediately chased after him. The answer must be with Nalmai.
As for Menes, Lan Mu guessed that he did not know as much as he did. There were records of him in ancient Egyptian history. He was the king of the first dynasty after Egypt was unified. He was also the first pharaoh.
In fact, Nalmai was also recorded as the Scorpion King who unified Egypt, but he did not establish a dynasty.
The one who unified Egypt did not establish a dynasty, but the one who established the first dynasty called himself a pharaoh. After that, there were no more kings, and every generation was ruled by a pharaoh.
The first dynasty needed a complete legal system and authority. However, the Scorpion King did not do that. It was Menes who established it.
This was a very confusing thing. No matter which civilization it was, the one who unified Egypt would definitely become a king and establish a dynasty. So why was there a pharaoh system after that? Did the Scorpion King not want to be king? Or did he not need it at all?
Lan Mu's experience here gave him the answer. The Scorpion King was the last outsider. He was a god in the eyes of humans. Of course, he did not need to establish a dynasty. All humans were under him.
Menes changed the ruler of Egypt to a pharaoh because he did not dare to inherit the god's position. That was always left to the god.
If he became king, he would be greeted with the division of Egypt. The people would leave him, and there would be no unity. On the contrary, if he became a pharaoh and announced that generations would wait for the return of the god, the people would wait with him. The remembrance of the god would become the greatest unifying force of the country.
Because of the uniqueness of this country, he could only be the god's guardian. The god had gone to heaven, so the god's servant was the ruler of the earth. This made sense.
Lan Mu flew up even faster than Nalmai. When he reached the atmosphere, Nalmai stopped and looked at him.
"This is not the same world, right?" Lan Mu asked directly.
He began to realize that he did not travel through time. This was not another world.
Nalmai nodded: "That's right, human, I am the Book of Cloud Time."
Lan Mu stared blankly. He had no idea what the Book of Yun Sui Yue meant. Could it be referring to that pale yellow paper?
Nalmai seemed to have seen through his doubts and explained, "It's an intelligent simulator used to show all the events on the planet."
Lan Mu suddenly understood. "So it's a history book?"
Now that he knew what it was, he could retranslate the Book of Cloud Time. It was a full collection of historical events, dynamic virtual reality artificial intelligence simulator.
"You can think of it this way. Nalmai left this item at the pyramid. When you develop to a certain extent, you will naturally discover the pyramid and the Book of Cloud Time." Nalmai said.
Lan Mu understood. This was used to remind humans of what the Apocalypse Pyramid was. Through historical playback, humans would know about the past.
Everything here was simulated by that piece of paper. It was a virtual world based on real events in ancient times.
"But if that's the case, why is this place so dangerous? Other than me, everyone who came in died. "Lan Mu doubtfully asked.
Nalmai explained: "First of all, you are not the only survivor. A few other people managed to make it out alive. Furthermore, this is our second world. Even though everything is fake, as long as you're inside, how is it any different from the real world? Even our real world doesn't have any evidence to prove that it isn't a simulation created by someone else. Here, you will truly die and truly live. "
Lan Mu understood. This thing was a bit similar to the Nightmare Lord's dream creation. Similarly, nothing could be brought into the real world, but as long as one stayed inside, they would feel that this was a real world.
If it weren't for Nalmai's strange behavior when he saw him that made Lan Mu feel like there was a script, he wouldn't have thought that this was a virtual world.
This Nalmai wasn't the real Nalmai, but rather the AI program of the Book of Cloud Time. It was specifically left at the bottom of the Bermuda Sea, waiting for humans to discover it. It contained a lot of information, allowing humans to freely enter and explore it.
It was just that the people who came in before were too weak and were destroyed before they could even leave the desert.
If he wasn't mistaken, the human body and the items they carried were actually absorbed and stored by the pale yellow paper in some way. His current body was a simulation. However, this simulation was set according to his own settings, just like in the dream. Whatever abilities the player had in reality, they would have the same after entering the dream, so Lan Mu's transformation could still be achieved here.
This was the scientific version of the Eternal Dream!
Lan Mu nodded and said: "I understand. Then can you tell me what's going on?"
The Book of Cloud Time said: "On behalf of the Amon civilization, I first need to apologize to you. We have seriously interfered with the progress of your civilization. However, we believe that the foundation of the Egyptian civilization left behind is enough for you to grow. If nothing unexpected happens, you should have stepped into space by now, right? "
Lan Mu shook his head and said: "No … Also, what do you mean by the foundation of the Egyptian civilization?"
The Book of Cloud Time said: "When we came to your planet, we found that humans had already begun to spread across the world, and the most primitive stage of civilization had appeared. However, we found that your environment was too suitable for you, causing the global civilization to diversify and develop. This situation has its advantages and disadvantages."
"Civilization is completely unprecedented, and the time it has to develop is limited. Every stage of civilization's development is a struggle against nature. This struggle against nature is never-ending. If you can't step into space, then this civilization is no different from dying. "
Hearing this, Lan Mu nodded in agreement. The history of human development was actually a history of resistance against nature. He had already calculated this point when he transformed into Asari. This was almost an axiom used by all civilizations in the universe.
Of course, the Zergs were a bit of an exception.
The Book of Cloud Time continued: "There are benefits to the flourishing of civilizations all over the world, but it is very likely to cause the planet to fall into a long internal war. In the end, it may not be unified before it self-destructs together."
Lan Mu made a sound and blinked a few times. As outsiders, this group of aliens had already calculated the future of mankind thousands of years ago.
"So you gathered all the races in the world and built Egypt?"
The Book of Cloud Time said: "The name Egypt was given by humans themselves. When we arrived, there were already signs of civilization in the Mesopotamia, and there were many human tribes living in the Nile River basin. We brought the civilizations in the Mesopotamia and even other civilizations in the world that we felt had great potential to the Nile River basin and carried out a great cultural integration.
"This included the achievements of civilizations and races of various skin colors. Among them, there were the most black-skinned and yellow-skinned people. The reason why we chose the Nile River basin was because of its excellent geographical location. It was at the intersection of two plates. In your words, it was the center of the three continents. We also felt that it was the best place, the center of the world.
"We changed the environment there and sealed the Nile River basin, stabilizing the climate and making the land extremely fertile. The Nile River regularly nourished the land along the coast. To humans, it was heaven. Therefore, humans named it the Fertile Black Land, which is Egypt. "
The Book of Cloud Time continued: "It gathered the essence of the entire planet, had the chosen land, and had a civilization level that surpassed other primitive tribes by thousands of years. There was no main race, and all three races were present. This was the foundation of civilization that we designed and was destined to unify the entire planet. The foundation was already set. Such a civilization would definitely be able to step into space. "
Lan Mu was speechless. After all this time, it was such a foundation. It was too embarrassing.
He really wanted to tell this AI program that ancient Egypt had perished thousands of years ago and was invaded by the Greeks, Persians, Romans, and Arabs one after another. They had long disappeared in the long river of history, and the ones who really rose were the 'primitive tribes' that they had never intended to give up and were too lazy to pay attention to from the beginning …
Furthermore, their method of gathering the races of the world into one race was useless. The future of mankind was still full of competition …
After they left, generations of ancient Egyptians were obsessed with the memory of their god. Every pharaoh built a pyramid in a frenzy. The purpose of all this was not to make it into a mausoleum, but to let the god in heaven see it and prove to him that the Egyptians had deciphered the blueprint …
Pitiful and sad. Did they think that by building the pyramids, they would be able to solve the secrets of the pyramids?
When Lan Mu asked about the pyramids, the Book of Cloud Time's answer was as he expected.
"The pyramids … That is the most mysterious existence on your planet. It even caused our physics to collapse … Our scientific experiments on this planet and a small-scale war, as well as our interference with you, attracted its warning. The destruction of the world twice in a row was its punishment. As long as we stay here, the end of the world will not be completely quelled."
Lan Mu curled his lips. To put it bluntly, this group of aliens was scared off by Earth.
It was a planet without any civilization, but it had things that they couldn't understand at all. Staying on Earth would be courting death.
"We realized our mistake, so we left this place and left behind two things. One is me, the Book of Cloud Time. The other is in the west of Egypt, where we once parked the Sun Boat. We left a wormhole, "the Book of Cloud Time said.
Lan Mu was shocked. "What? You left the wormhole? "
"Wait … When you were simulating the scene, you said to Menes that it was a lifeline for humans. Was it so that when humans could not step into space, there would still be an ocean planet to start from scratch?"
"That's right," the Book of Cloud Time said. "We found an ocean planet within forty light-years. It's the most suitable place for you to live. There were adaptations left beside the wormhole, which can help you occupy that uninhabited planet. However, according to my last records, not long after Nalmai left, Menes brought fifty thousand people there … "
Lan Mu's heart thundered. He realized that the alien on the ocean planet was actually an Earthling.
And they were the ancient Egyptians who moved there thousands of years ago!
For some reason, after such a long time, they had completely forgotten that they were not natives and had a home planet.
When they found Earth, they were so scared that they ran away because of the existence of the Zergs.
This group of descendants of the first dynasty of ancient Egypt had made the same choice as their father, the Amon civilization.
If they could not win, they would run.
