Chapter 50: The inevitable end

The bodies of all evil gods contain memories of all life and souls of the original world and civilization. In a sense, the existence of the evil god itself can even be regarded as a continuation of the destroyed world, because all information, all history and past are wrapped in the evil gods into their own body and become its power.

And now, the unknown evil god made a sound.

If there is any sound that makes people feel the most helpless, then it must be the sighs and sobs made by all living beings when facing the inevitable destruction of a civilization. They are powerless to do anything, because before the end comes, all the flags and heroes have been broken, and when the world is destroyed and collapses, no one can carry the heavens anymore.

So I can only sigh.

What is more helpless than this is the destruction of two civilizations.

Or three, four, ten, and hundreds.

Or, countless.

At this time, Joshua was listening to the sad voices of nearly countless worlds.

The voice of the evil god cannot be heard by ordinary people, just like the existence of the Steel Python. If he has not reached the legendary level, he will not even have the qualification to peek at the other party's existence form. Even if he does not have the authority of the Soul-Fired King passed down by the sages, he is just an ordinary Soul-Fired Person or an ordinary person, then he will not be able to see the Steel Python before he advances to the legend and develops the observation method of the Steel Vision.

However, now, this overly keen and powerful observation ability has become the inducement to overwhelm Joshua's resistance.

The warriors wrapped in chaos, and in an instant, they heard thousands of crying sounds of nearly countless passing worlds.

He felt that his will was slowly sinking into a vast chaos, interrupted and awakened, destroying the unknown evil god with condensed nucleus, or the wreckage of countless worlds after the demise, and instinctively rely on this method to erode and assimilate this silver 'world'.

Endless influx of memories.

Joshua saw the memories of all living beings living in the world before the demise of countless worlds.

The dark flames burned above the corpse, and the black shadow spread to the distance with despair.

...

The sun is covered by the black smoke from the city, and the sky is extremely dark. Due to the use of the supreme alchemy of the "tag" level without bottom line, the whole world is on the verge of destruction.

The cities and peaks were dissociated and turned into ashes, and were then pushed into the sky by beams of flames that seemed to come from hell. In the war between the "Great Alchemists" to fight for world domination, the distribution of material in the world was changed. It can be seen that the earth burst into cracks, and the flames from the core were extracted by huge magic machines to attack the floating city floating in haze and acid rain. Titans standing comparable to the peaks threw each other crusts and peaks, creating earthquakes, and destroying the enemy's positions.

Life is just a number, and population is a resource. I believe that I have mastered the truth and never regard ordinary people as the war of the same great alchemists. From the beginning, I did not care about the life and death of any ordinary people, nor did I care about any destruction of the world. They believed that the winner of the war could naturally restore all destroyed environments to its original state, and even if ordinary people and creatures were extinct, they could reshape a new and beautiful world with cloning technology.

Because they think they have the power to restore everything, the war between the great alchemists completely lost their bottom line. They created poison gas and spread plagues, they smashed the moon and created meteors, and even crazy people planned to detonate the core of the earth, and they hid in the vacuum outside the sky, and then wiped out all their opponents.

But they underestimated their madness and overestimated the world's ability to withstand it.

On the eve of the destruction of the world, the flames in the center of the earth gradually faded, the cycle of reincarnation of all things was cut off, and the world barrier began to slowly collapse. The great alchemists who noticed this finally woke up from madness, but it was too late. Even though they had the power and technology to repair the world, they had no time.

In this dark era, in the world that is about to usher in the end, in the ruins of a remote city hidden near the polar regions, a pair of small boys and a girl who lost her right leg sit in front of the bonfire that is about to be extinguished, trembling and leaning against each other. They are not brothers and sisters, and have no blood relationship, just a wandering child who has lost his parents and another orphan who is alone in the war.

They did not know that the world was about to be destroyed, nor did they know what the great alchemists were struggling. They only knew that winter was coming, and food was seriously insufficient, and even the bonfire in front of them could not be lit again due to lack of firewood. The boy had made a decision. He would leave the remaining food for the girl, and he went to the dangerous war zone and might leave the supplies that might be left behind.

This behavior is extremely dangerous, and it can even be said to be sure to die, but apart from this, there is no choice at all. It is just the difference between dying early and dying late. Both of them know that the next farewell is to say goodbye forever.

So. They hugged each other and cried not because of despair, nor because of fear of death. They cried only because of sadness, just because the world is so cold that two lonely souls are not allowed to depend on each other.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful is that before the boy bids farewell to the girl, the barrier of the world is completely broken.

Everything returns to darkness.

...

In a world without extraordinary power, the huge world ruled the entire world. The war of unity three hundred years ago was the last war for this civilization. Since then, it has been an eternal era of peace.

In this world, technology is not very developed, but it can also transform the world and obtain nearly infinite resources for civilization. Whether it is the sky, the sea, the earth, whether it is economy, entertainment, information or work, everything is led by zhongyāngzhèngfu. From birth to death, growth, education, making friends, marriage, having children, work, death, everything is within the jurisdiction of zhongyāngzhèngfu.

Even the whole world has been transformed into agricultural areas that produce grain in several areas, mineral areas that collect resources, resettlement population, urban areas that live and produce, and industrial areas that operate separately. The residents of any block may not go to other blocks for the rest of their lives.

Because this is the education I received since childhood, no one will think that there is anything wrong with this. After all, no matter what block I live in, individuals can still enjoy friendship, family affection, entertainment and opportunities for relaxation. If it is unnecessary, they will not forcefully interfere with the life of any individual. They even have the right to go to other blocks for vacation and life, but it is not necessary. They do not understand, so they do not yearn for or be curious.

This is just an overly strict order system, and there is nothing wrong in essence.

Until one day, through the calculation of the general think tank, zhongyāngzhèngfu discovered that even if they use extreme means, they could only survive 55 billion individuals at the same time. This number was only something that could be done in more than ten years in the face of their exponentially growing population.

In order to extend, or to avoid the arrival of the moment when the world is bursting, zhongyāngzhèngfu launched a large-scale population control campaign. Some areas with too dense populations have implemented a policy of prohibiting childbirth, while other areas have also launched lightweight fertility control.

Through drugs, artificial sterilization, publicity of the disadvantages of overproduction, and the division of the areas where male and female individuals live together, so that individuals with the same gender in a certain area have successfully controlled their population growth trend, causing the population growth rate, which was originally rising by nearly 70 degrees, to finally usher in a decline. With the control of the grassroots level, they can make the whole world without even a newborn in the year when the program began.

The control was successful, or even too successful.

Even if they succeed to themselves, they cannot control them.

Nearly ten years later, when the population gradually fell to the point of safety, zhongyāngzhèngfu decided to temporarily withdraw population control and resuscitate the fertility plan. However, even perfect plans will have loopholes because of the executors. Even zhongyāngzhèngfu calculated that the fertility rate of the elderly population would decline. It was calculated that because of never seeing individuals of the opposite sex, they could not mate and give birth normally. Even zhongyāngzhèngfu had long guessed various problems in all aspects, but they did not expect that because of the overly successful population control publicity, almost all individuals developed an instinctive retreat and disgust for fertility.

Reproduction is not a happy thing. Whether it is taking care of the juvenile body, nurturing the juvenile body, or giving birth to female individuals, it is a very hard thing, which requires a lot of effort, but may not even be rewarded. If it weren't for the natural thing because of habits, and after adulthood, after the arrangement of zhongyāngzhèngfu, many individuals would choose not to have offspring even if there is no publicity.

When the wind direction of society changes, and when zhongyāngzhèngfu, who thinks he can control everything, realizes that population control has been out of control and the number of newborns is far less than the critical danger line, everything is too late.

Even if aphrodisiac hormones are spread, various drugs that can enhance pleasure and reduce fertility pain are developed, and zhèngfu distributes dividends and pays money to encourage fertility, the population growth rate cannot be increased. With the death of a large number of older generations, only a fraction of the previous generation has just grown up, and even if they have realized that they must give birth as much as possible, civilization has collapsed before the new generation grows up.

It can be seen that with the withering of the older generation of individuals, the whole world gradually fell into silence.

A giant factory taller than a mountain and like a honeycomb was shut down due to no operation. Super companies that require 30,000 employees to operate are unable to maintain it. Just transporting raw materials from the mine block every day, tens of thousands of transport workers need to carry commodity production lines day and night, and even errors occur because they have not operated full power for too long. However, at this time, even the technical workers for repairs no longer exist.

The vast planting plains are full of wildly growing crops. In the past, at least hundreds of families were required to join forces. The fields that were harvested by large harvesters for more than ten days were empty. No one was able to harvest these foods and could only rot in the ground. But what if they were harvested? Food rough processing factories and finishing factories have stopped operating because of their highly differentiated positions, farmers who only need to farm and then transport crops away have no ability to process food.

In the past, the beehives in the city had long turned into ghost domains. When they walked on seven or eight streets, they could not even see a living person. Even if they saw it, they should be careful whether the other party was malicious. In this huge urban block, resources were limited, without blood transfusions from agricultural and industrial areas, and there was no reserve of many daily supplies in the super giant city. In this era, not to mention eating enough, even survival was a huge problem.

Population is the foundation of civilization and the most basic production unit. Without population, nothing will exist.

Decades later, large energy bases in industrial areas were leaked due to unmanned maintenance, which led to violent explosions affecting the atmosphere. Following closely, more energy bases caused various problems due to unmanned maintenance, either leaking or explosions, and radiation pollution began to spread all over the world.

Decades later, a violent volcanic change destroyed the ruins of a megacity city, and the sun was running on the right track, and the Little Ice Age was coming.

Decades later.

Perhaps the last civilized individual in this world is about to die.

This lonely growth, lonely life, lonely old man watching the world sat in his small wooden house, staring blankly at the portrait of his parents. Because of the pollution of the radiation, there was only one child in his life and they warned their descendants to find another individual of the opposite sex so that they could reproduce. However, the old man spent his whole life and did not find any other individual other than his parents.

Before death comes, it begins to cry not because of destined aging, but because of sorrow, because of the inability to feel any warmth, and even the loneliness that cannot be used in words.

In absolute silence, the lifeless world is gradually destruction.

...

Destroyed by war, destroyed by institutions.

What is destroyed because of technological development, what is destroyed because of falling into a bottleneck.

Destroyed by natural disasters and destruction by climate change.

Joshua's spirit sinks into chaos. He can see one world after another and the scene of destruction of civilization. He can hear and cry sadly again and again. The tears of civilization are not flowing through fear and destruction. Their sorrow is that all this is not absolute.
