The new scene appeared, depicting the "lives" of these angels. There were no words, no conflicts, only a slow, ritual-like mutual approach. When one angel gently embraced another, their flesh began to soften and blend, and the eternally satisfied smile on the face of the embraced did not change in the slightest, as if feeling no pain. Its body lted like warm wax, slowly being absorbed and devoured by the crystalline body of the other angel.
At the mont of fusion completion, the devourer’s body glowed more brilliantly, and its form beca even more perfect. New and vague facial contours appeared on its torso. There was no sadness, no screams, only a strange sense of tranquility and satisfaction silently conveyed—this was their "communication" and "sharing of happiness."
"Doesn’t such a civilization go back to the era of beasts? How can it develop?" Lin Xian was baffled, thinking of the giant beast in the sky just now. Looking back, that might be a life ford by billions of humans fused together, and the even more terrifying face in the ocean was perhaps a geotric body of tens of billions of humans.
At this mont, he suddenly rembered what Chen Yanshu had told him earlier in the submarine base, "When all life is fused into one," so this is what it ant...
"The Tower People naturally thought of this too." Chu Yan’s voice echoed again: "In the process of evolution spanning tens of thousands of years, the angels discovered that so among them began to harbor malicious thoughts and selfish desires. This led to the formation of clans and territories among the angelic race, which in turn triggered wars and destruction."
"Ha, back to square one?"
"Yes, after wars lasting thousands of years, the surviving angels started introspecting on what their perfect civilization form lacked. Finally, they realized they were missing an enemy to eliminate."
"What?"
"Wisdom."
Chu Yan’s voice continued: "The existence of wisdom ans thinking, and the power of wisdom’s extension, transformation, and cognition led to the discovery of gender, desire, and pain, which caused cracks in civilization. So, they destroyed civilization and knowledge, re-rging into homogeneous bodies, and concentrated wisdom into silicon-based intelligent bodies, which you can understand as artificial intelligence, and used absolute commands to perform iterative upgrades of wisdom, thus assisting and serving the body of this civilization."
"Is that even possible?"
Lin Xian found himself montarily speechless. anwhile, the scene changed. Ti had passed for millions of years in the devouring and rging process. Countless tranquil faces appeared and disappeared on the giant crystalline angel’s torso, and the body of civilization continued in an endless cycle.
"After this, the High Tower Civilization continued for millions of years; life was almost infinite, until one day..."
With devouring, the angels’ bodies grew even larger, gathering countless people’s happiness and joy, emitting a surging life energy. Then, the vast blue ocean almost turned into a solid entity. A gargantuan, perfect body like a planet slowly straightened its spine; its skin was purer, the light like a constant star, and its face so perfect that it surpassed human cognitive limits. The body’s structure contained a cosmic-law-like harmony and power.
"During the evolution process, the angels were shaped into a suprely perfect angel collective by the High Tower’s artificial intelligence. Because of its excessive perfection, it reached the omniscient and omnipotent state of a first-level civilization. This beca the pinnacle of High Tower Civilization’s evolution, and they nad it... Yuniaga."
"Yuniaga?!" Lin Xian’s heart shook. How familiar this na sounded.
Chu Yan understood his confusion and continued guiding him through the civilization’s evolution: "Yet, this extre perfection, under the cold cosmic scale, was as dazzling as a lighthouse in the Dark Forest. During the iteration of artificial intelligence, a problem was discovered. Because of the disorderly entropy increase, High Tower Civilization triggered a force known as ’civilization waves.’ This force penetrated interstellar dust, and was captured by an unimaginable, incomprehensible higher-level civilization."
"So..."
"They encountered a catastrophic disaster!"
With Chu Yan’s calm voice sounding, the once vibrant, vast planet instantly turned into cosmic dust. Angels fell, civilization was severed, and at the critical mont, the ultimate form of Angel Yuniaga, at the cost of sacrificing the remaining body of the entire civilization, wrapped the core material of its ho planet and fled into a wormhole vortex.
However, this high-level civilization capable of interstellar transition was completely annihilated within the wormhole. In the scene, a certain high-dinsional weapon used the galaxy cluster’s own gravity as a cosmic mirror, firing an invisible destructive force at the fleeing Tower People. That beam of light instantly altered the geotry of space itself, precisely striking this escaping civilization.
A silent dinsional annihilation explosion occurred within the wormhole. Angel Yuniaga’s vast body crumbled inch by inch under the higher-dinsional strike, reducing dinsions, and the wreckage of the entire civilization burst through the cosmic mirror.
Yet the next mont, the scene froze from a Blue Star orbital perspective. Strears of debris penetrating from the depths of the universe tore open thirteen bottomless giant wounds on the surface, and then explosion points erupted with terrifying amounts of fear consciousness engendered by Yuniaga facing the higher civilization, spreading out madly and uncontrollably.
The scene flashed rapidly. On the bustling city streets, pedestrians’ bodies twisted and mutated without warning, their skin turning gray, eyes blood-red, pouncing on what once were peers; infants unleashed inhuman screams in cradles; birds plumted like raindrops, undergoing eerie transformations; plants grew wildly, twisting into indescribable forms...
