Chapter 365 This World is a Giant Coconut.
In a corner at the edge of the universe, Chen Miao was standing in the void with Hungry Monkey and others. This place was the edge of the universe where, if one's perspective were high enough, one could see white light constantly flowing at the end of the universe.
As the white light spread, it formed one planet after another.
After a very long time, some planets would become stars, and perhaps other life forms would emerge from them.
An old man had brought them here.
Here was the expanding edge of the universe.
At this moment, by shooting hundreds of bullets faster than the speed of light in the direction of the universe's expansion, he could smoothly leave this cosmic prison that had imprisoned them for so long.
"It's really strange,"
Hungry Monkey muttered as he looked around, "Actually, if it weren't for this world suddenly turning into a Supernatural game, I wouldn't even know that we were imprisoned in the universe. If I didn't know this, maybe I wouldn't be troubled by it."
"No... I don't think I've ever been troubled by being imprisoned in the universe."
"Because the universe is just too vast."
"If it weren't for that old man bringing us here, I might never have been able to reach this place in my life. If you live in a prison that you can never fully explore in a lifetime, perhaps you wouldn't feel like you're in a prison."
"That's quite normal," Zhou Shen nodded, "Most people really dislike restrictions, like if your boss tells you, you can only earn up to 2,000 or at most 3,000 a month, most people would feel discontent and always want to break through these limits."
"But what if your boss tells you, you can earn up to a hundred trillion a month."
"Most people seem to think that's acceptable."
"But in reality, both are restrictions, both are prisons, just with different sizes for the cages."
"This system will continue for a long time, and almost everyone readily accepts it, only when someday someone suddenly emerges, someone who is not content with earning just a hundred trillion a month, will the one who made this rule face a challenge."
"In the end, there are only two outcomes."
"The person challenging the rule is dealt with."
"Or... the rule gets broken."
"But it's difficult to break such rules because basically, no one is willing to stand behind you, and that's probably why that old man secretly ran off to our so-called Universe Number 3. He probably came here because no one supported his plan; everyone thought that things are good as they are and saw no need for change."
"..."
Chen Miao said nothing, just raised his pistol, aimed at the end of the universe, and gently pulled the trigger.
...
With the white light shooting out,
Chen Miao and the others instantly disappeared from the spot, and by the time they regained their sight, they had appeared in a museum.
No one was around, only the dim emergency lights provided illumination. The various showcases were filled with all sorts of exhibits; it was clearly a museum, only it was late at night and not during opening hours, so the place was empty.
Chen Miao quickly scanned the surroundings before looking behind him at one of the showcases.
It was a glass bead.
Next to it were several lines of exhibit descriptions.
'Exhibit Name': Universe Number 3.
'Description of Exhibit': This is the first time Aier Star discovered such a highly powerful energy source that can be used for a long time without causing any environmental damage—it is extremely eco-friendly and cost-effective.
The only flaw is that after several decades of use, the energy sphere will automatically break down and cannot be refilled.
The core of this energy source is a small universe with many microorganisms living inside the energy sphere.
This energy sphere is the third one to be created.
It is old and on the brink of being scrapped at any moment, but it is on display here as a testament to the progress of Aier Star civilization.
"..."
Chen Miao looked at the little ball inside the showcase with a complex expression, finding it hard to imagine that their vast universe looked so small from the outside—just an insignificant little ball. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
And it was artificially created.
Their universe was actually created by someone?
The glass of the showcase hadn't shattered; they had appeared out of nowhere around the energy sphere. It seemed that the museum's security system was not very effective, as dozens of them came out of nowhere, yet there wasn't a single alarm sounded.
It was unclear whether it was because the civilization was not advanced, or the museum's security wasn't taken seriously, or the security personnel had already fallen fast asleep in the control room. It was understandable, after all, even on Blue Star, museums rarely experienced night thefts.
After all... it's hard to say whether the items had any real value, and selling them was difficult. If caught, the sentence would be severe, so indeed, such unappreciated hard work was rarely done.
"Miao,"
Hungry Monkey looked around and whispered, "That old man told us that because we are not from this civilization, as soon as we appeared, we would face the rejection of the will of civilization."
"It would target us everywhere."
"Until we're dead."
"But so far, everything seems normal."
Chen Miao shook his head and did not speak. He was in a completely alien world and even he was somewhat confused about the situation, but he had asked the old man, does this happen with every civilization?@@novelbin@@
The old man's answer was a firm yes.
He said that every civilization has its own will, and when the will of a civilization discovers someone inside their own civilization who does not belong, it often reacts with anger, just like white blood cells obstructing the invasion of a virus. It creates all kinds of dangerous situations to expel the outsider.
