Chapter 286: The Interface to the Future

[ Can you please tell me… How the outside world is? ]

Although the brain in a vat was asking questions, there was no doubt in its psionic waves. Combined with the fact that it had said failed as if it was talking to itself, it was obvious that it knew what was happening outside.

Now, he was only seeking the final result from Li Wenyuan.

After some thought, Li Wenyuan informed the brain in a vat of the current situation in the galaxy. Even when he heard that there were no other races here other than the fallen Ascendant, the brain in a vat did not show any signs of fluctuation.

This seemed to be within its expectations.

[ When 1 sensed the sudden surge of psionic in the vicinity, 1 knew that we had failed. ]

[ The ideal of leading everyone here to ascension together is ultimately contrary to the cruel core of this technology. ]

[ The ascension engine didn’t activate enough energy to cause the void realm expert to fall into this universe. Instead, it pierced a huge hole in it. ]

[ The psionic power contained within flowed into this world uncontrollably, causing the void realm to completely decline. ]

[ I know that we left in a hurry. If we had been a little more selfish or if we had made our foundation a little richer, the outcome here would not have been like this… ]

The brain in a vat told Li Wenyuan what had happened. It even made a picture with its psionic, showing Li Wenyuan what had happened at that time like a projection.

Although there were signs of damage in the scene, it was not as serious as it was now. Moreover, there were many Ascendants coming in and out of this place.

At that time, the Ascendants were not as extreme as they were now. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but one could see that at least their facial features were decent and their bodies were decent. Although they did not conform to human aesthetics, they did not make people feel disgusted.

psionic was indeed important to them, but it was not so important that they needed to evolve to the extreme.

[ This is the scene that I remember the most, because at that time, although we failed, we were still full of vigor. We firmly believed that we could solve this problem and then ascend again. ]

[ I have already forgotten the faces of my compatriots, but in the countless days and nights of loneliness, only these figures in my memories have accompanied me. ]

After that, the image formed by psionic power changed, and the inner chamber where the brain was located became desolate, no longer as lively as before.

There were significantly fewer people here, and they were all in a hurry, as if they were busy with something.

But even so, there were still people communicating with the brain in a vat, occasionally using the word joy on their blurry faces as an image.

After that, time seemed to be fast-forwarded, and the scenes changed faster and faster. The entire inner room became more and more dilapidated, and the number of people coming here also decreased visibly. It was deserted, and the empty scene repeated itself.

[ The end has long come, and this is the price. Our history, our ideals, our everything, has turned into dust. ]

After pausing for a while, the seemingly never-fluctuating emotions finally revealed their emotions. It was just a sense of relief.

[ The situation in this galaxy is not beyond my expectations. ]

[ And 1 actually stuck to an illusory plan for tens of millions of years after failing to ascension? This might be the worst decision I’ve ever made in my life… ]

Its psionic signal was a little sad, but there was no trace of regret, as if it felt that it had at least held on until the last moment of civilization.

Perhaps only with its death would the Ascendant civilization truly perish.

However, Li Wenyuan keenly noticed a message from the brain in a vat.

[ An illusory plan? ]

[ Since the galaxy is already like this, then this plan must have failed. There is no good ending for humiliating oneself in a field that you are not good at. ]

[ Bathed in psionic environments, we have almost forgotten that lifeforms have lifespans, but absorbing such dead psionic power in order to extend their lifespans will only bring forward death. ]

[ Therefore, we hid a group of people with our crappy hibernation technology, preparing to restart the civilization process after the impact of the collapse of the void realm. ]

[ Based on my calculations, the limit of hibernation has long ended. Regardless of whether those tinder are alive or not, they must begin their original duties. ]

[ But from the situation of this galaxy, it’s obvious that they haven’t done anything… ]

The situation that the brain in a vat described made Li Wenyuan instantly think of the gods in the spiritual world of the Fallen One.

From the looks of it, the God that had suddenly appeared was very likely to be the real Ascendant that had been hibernating.

Hence, he told this matter to the brain in a vat, but the brain in a vat was only slightly silent.

The brain was still shrinking, but Li Wenyuan felt as if his brain was watching him, as if he didn’t care about his life at all.

[ I see. This is indeed something worth celebrating, but let’s let our civilization come to an end here… ]

[ What we need here is fresh blood, not those who have fallen behind in their twilight years. To be able to hear this news, my million years of waiting have not been in vain. ]

[ The Ascendant died the moment they failed to ascend. It should be the era of others next. ]

At that moment, the brain tissue in the brain in a vat was almost completely withered and necrotic. Only the intermittent psionic signals were still telling its last words.

[ Foreign traveler, thank you for being able to witness the end of ascension. We have also created glory, but all of this will come to an end at this time. ]

[ It’s a pity that I can’t travel with you in the future, but please allow me to use this gift to wish you the end of the galaxy! ]

The brain in a vat had completely lost all signs of life, but the dead psionic power seemed to have been revived.

The power of the heart was at work. The psionic that was deeply hidden in the Ether Phase Engine began to spew out until it formed a vast nebula that filled the galaxy.

Unlike the psionic power in the lifeless state he had seen before, the nebula formed by them was like a newborn life, constantly changing in the Void and combining into various forms.

Soon after, the fleshy planet in the same galaxy as the Ether Phase Engine also mutated under such a psionic environment.

Massive amounts of psionic power began to be absorbed by it, and nebulae penetrated deep into the planet’s interior under unknown gravity until the psionic nebula was almost completely absorbed, and the fleshy planet completed its transformation.

At this moment, it was no longer the disgusting land of flesh and blood. Instead, it was a complete glass crystal. The transparent planet even refracted the light of the star, as beautiful as the pearl of the universe.

It was also after this that a dazzling light erupted from within, hiding some information that could only be deciphered at this moment.

[ Discovered a brand new technology! ]

[ New technology has been added to the technology tree. According to currently recorded data, the Ascendant Civilization logo has been set on it. ]

[ Through the research of this technology, we have a new understanding of technology: The future glimpse level of understanding has increased. ]

[ Ascendant Civilization Technology ]

[ Prediction Interface (Ascendant) ]

[ Technology Level: 9 ]

[ Introduction: Is this reality? Or is it just a dream? Time and eyes will tell us the answer. ]
