My Bottle Cosmos

Chapter 298: The Eerie Civilization


Li Qing fiddled with the virtual helmet in his hand, revealing a touch of playful amusement.

The Second World game "Primordial Era" perfectly linked to real-world forces?

In essence, it's just a pacifier created by the capital class of that world to anesthetize the lower-class people, preventing them from revolting and making them obsessed with playing "games". After work, it's daily tasks, swiping "short videos," one swipe for the whole day, with empty minds and no drive, barely remembering to resist.

This civilization lacks material resources, not energy.

So, constructing a massive virtual game network and pulling people into the virtual world is the optimal solution.

Let the majority of the populace enter the game to sleep, reduce activity, the squeezed out living resources go to the ruling class at the top, who indulge in luxury in reality.

There are also two classes here.

The rich live in the Upper City District—reality, enjoying themselves in mansions.

The poor live in the Lower City District—virtual, enjoying themselves in games, seemingly free, but in fact, they rely on nutrient solutions to sustain life for most of their lives, without moving.

In the eyes of the natives, this can be described as very punk and cruel.

But in Li Qing's eyes, it's just interesting.

It's an inevitable historical development here, isn't it?

This virtual game is not exclusive to this material-deficient abandoned civilization.

In most Demigod Civilizations, they mine planets throughout the Cosmos, use 90% or more of their resources to establish multiple supercomputers in the Cosmos, seeking the "Divine Base".

So, the lower-class people scrimp and save, enjoying life in the game.

Virtual games, video movies, accompany the lives of people in the science fiction system from beginning to end!

"Only by going outside can you truly see the excitement of the world."

"The development of the sci-fi aspect of the Cosmos is so complex, yet it makes people feel hopeless in terms of class... Unlike the Extraordinary, game, virtual, accompanies their pitiful lives."

Li Qing sat in the driver's seat, watching as he traversed through a sea of Space Fragments, a light sigh in his heart.

Sylph also looked at the helmet in the hands of this Emperor, naturally understanding this thing while reading the information, coldly saying:

"80% of the population spends 80% of their time living in nutrition pods, the people are like heads in a bottle, born trapped in a cage."

Sylph is one of the oldest individuals of the era.

And she easily saw the enslavement and bloodshed within, killing without blood.

War is not only a physical confrontation but a mental clash.

What we see here is a class war, capitalism uses mental pacifiers to stuff into the mouths of the people so they don't constantly think about revolting and overthrowing the ruling class.

This essentially has little difference from Li Qing's bloodless use of "freedom's sweet air" to domesticate and enslave Star Domain Civilizations.

"Beasts in cages, licking the ridiculous food others provide." Sylph said.

Li Qing smiled, "But who among us does not live in a cage? The people of this civilization live in a cage, the whole civilization is trapped in a bigger cage, and even if you escape, you'll face the Crystal Wall, this cage."

"Indeed." Sylph shook her head, showing a hint of pity, "How pitiful they are, having never seen the true world, not even this cage of the Crystal Wall."

"They will soon see it." Li Qing said meaningfully: "The so-called strong are no more than beasts living in a bigger cage. I will make them stronger, break out, and see the vast and sublime real Crystal Wall World."

"How will you make a change?" Sylph curiously asked.

"Help the bottom-class people a bit."

Li Qing grasped the helmet of the "Primordial Era" game, "The upper echelons of this world are too corrupt, stagnant, it's time for something interesting to appear, young heroic hot-bloods need to overthrow some old junk."

"I will help them break the cage, gain freedom, and see the real world outside." Li Qing thought coldly: What freedom is there? It's just falling from their cage into mine.

[Successfully returned]

At this moment, a cold voice came from the spaceship.

The surrounding sea of Space Fragments had gradually disappeared, revealing a deliberately organized vacuum area.

In the distance were bubble planets flickering with light points, varying in size, with the smallest diameter of several hundred kilometers, each containing artificial cities.

It was like a Star River flickering in the night sky, giving a sense of breathtaking beauty.

The diameter of this Star River is 0.3 light-years, what a vast interstellar territory is this?

And this is because after being sealed, the material shortage continues to shrink the territory and area numbers.

In its peak period, the Matter Universe continuously invested resources, theoretically, the Subspace territory here could expand indefinitely!

Li Qing's foundation is still too little.

With long time duration added, a mature ancient civilization's Subspace territory is destined to be vast.

Li Qing immediately mobilized all the energy of over twenty thousand rings today, with over twenty thousand talents mutually checking and inspecting.

Guarding against Celestial Eye like Sylvie.

"Indeed there's something."

"It turned out to be a Soul Wave scan."

"Outrageous, except for the omnipotent Emperor who can perfectly mimic, others who come here would be discovered, indeed the foundation accumulated by civilizations is much stronger than ours."

Li Qing constantly adjusted the Consciousness Wave, then pointed a finger at Sylph, lightly saying: "Learn this well."

"Yes!" Sylph also sensed a certain possibility.

The reason Li Qing dared to come is because the controllers of this advanced civilization are ultimately mortals.

They cannot be as flexible and adaptable as flesh and blood super life; as long as their rigid defense detection radar is breached, they can infiltrate within.

The collective combat power of sci-fi civilizations is strong, numerous.

While life on the Extraordinary side has fewer numbers of top combat power nurtured, takes a long time, but strong in single soldier, like a special forces king, very proficient in infiltration and mission execution.

And Li Qing dared to come, even more certain that:

After such a long time, they probably have loosened their vigilance, no longer guarding against external civilizations, guessing not having much defense measures.

Indeed, just as Li Qing predicted, there's only one layer.

Still a Soul Wave detection similar to a signal network, presumably a signal coverage of the "Primordial Era" game, detection of anomalies is only an attached function.

They are too relaxed.

And soon they will pay for this.

Stealing the technology here to nurture the star domain civilization next door.

At the same level, it's a guaranteed win!

But the star domain civilization has a "father," an endless energy supply. To fight this fatherless wild child, every resource has to be carefully accounted for. Isn't it possible to exhaust the opponent?

Before long, Sylph played the role of Mia, her body twisting, structure perfectly compounded, and the soul's consciousness wavelength was perfectly imitated.

"It's all set. Don't worry, master the moves I taught you. They won't detect anything strange. Enjoy this journey."

Li Qing swayed his body, turning into an adjutant, and said:

"During the Multi-Dimensional Crystal Wall Universe tour, the joy lies in enjoying the process, playing roles, witnessing new people and things, which is also a great pleasure."

Nokron patted his sleeves and clothing, seemingly quite satisfied with this new journey.

"Sylph, the Death Announcing Level mecha that was shattered has already been repaired."

"However, the Judgement Level mecha in Mia's hands wasn't brought back. You might have to find a way to navigate this."

Sylph felt somewhat helpless.

His Majesty really is...

Clearly, he could have killed Mia and taken her mecha, perfectly impersonating her. Yet he insisted on doing this.

Leaving Mia, this enemy, to fight may not only be a test for Sylvie's combat skills but also a test for me?

This Emperor loves such tests.

Previously, Sylvie was tested, forced to take the forefront, becoming the scheming Celestial Dao, bearing the burden of the world, and ultimately getting beaten by the Emperor!

He could have resolved the Emperor's problem in an instant.

But he insisted on having Sylvie do it.

Am I also facing a test now?

Sylph thought to herself but still responded:

"Impersonating Mia, there shouldn't be any problem in the eyes of outsiders. I've sorted through most of the information, but going home is definitely out—there are some secrets only Mia knows."

"I plan to hide outside for a while. If possible, I'll obtain a Judgement Level mecha, so I won't be held accountable for losing the mecha."

Li Qing nodded, "Be careful. I'm only rebuilding and am still just a mortal. I can't help you much."

Sylph's face suddenly turned silent.

Indeed...

Almost forgot, this one is still a Demigod...

Emperor Nokron, not even reaching the True God Realm, is quite absurd!

But in front of this civilization, more terrifying realms exist, and the Emperor perhaps isn't truly a match. After all, it already spans two major realms.

Sylph somewhat understood as well.

To the Emperor, the time spent rebuilding realms is a journey, it's enjoyment, surveying the landscape.

But to her, this world is a real test! It's a perilous road full of obstacles! It's crisis-ridden!

The child finds it rather tough!

Very soon, the spaceship landed.

It docked in a border city.

As an international financial family with properties in almost every district, Sylph quickly settled in a house with a group of people.

In just a few days.

After moving in, the main household received news, and suddenly an image came through.

A tall, slender middle-aged man, dressed in a black robe, in the study, his eyes gazing down with a lofty air of arrogance.

"Mia, for using the family's sole permission to borrow the Judgement Level mecha, I don't care what you do—all you children have your own forces and competitions, so I'll ask just one thing: How's it going?"

"It's fine, father." Sylph spoke, "I still need the mecha for a while longer."

This old guy is already some seventy to eighty thousand years old, certainly worthy of the title father in terms of lifespan.

And although they can't achieve a hundred years in a day in the Matter Universe, they've built similar small spaces here to crazily extend their lifespans, herding the outside world.

"I don't care about you."

The middle-aged man's voice came crystal clear, "Attica's Inspector in Beitu State is about to pass by. Remember to host him, and I'm very displeased with your guild's power in the Second World—strong players in the rankings have been poached."

"Yes, father."

Sylph showed a timid expression, "I've been forming a new team recently and am already recruiting new civilian player geniuses. Next time, I'll win against the other families in the instance."

Sylph appeared incredibly cowardly, for this wild, arrogant madwoman seemed like a mouse in front of a cat.

"Remember your words."

The image gradually faded.

Li Qing glanced at Sylph but said nothing much, leaving her to adapt spontaneously.

An extra father from nowhere.

Doesn't look like good stock.

But Sylph once allied with Elis, fighting as good sisters, learning a fraction of the skill of 'patricide,' so there's not much worry for her.

After accessing the network in this world, Li Qing was very interested in logging into the Second World to see what it was.

"An avatar, a wisp of consciousness."

After logging in, Li Qing instantly got goosebumps.

"What is this??" His instincts immediately flared up, an innate crisis surfaced, heart pounding wildly, feeling an overwhelming aura beyond True God instantly enveloped him.

A terrifying thought instantly popped up:

If this thing discovers me, I'll definitely die.

Even tens of thousands of True Gods wouldn't be of any use.
