Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 246 Relics are a projection of the development of civilization

After a considerable period of silence, Zero Nine finally moved.

He picked up the stone slab and held it up to Shi Qian.

The stone slab came to Shi Qian's feet as he drove it.

Seeing that Shi Qian didn't respond, Ling Jiu Xu sighed softly.

"Speak, tell us everything..."

"There's no need to make things so tense."

Shi Qian chuckled lightly, but still did not reach out to take the stone slab in mid-air.

She even changed her posture, leaning back in her chair and silently watching Ling Jiuxu.

[Old Deng! He's panicking!]

[Something doesn't seem right. Can the ruler of an empire really be brought to his knees by pressure?]

[Perhaps information from the outside world is more important to him than what he has at hand for the time being.]

[Yes, that's most likely the case. After all, you can't fight the outside world with information from before the closure.]

While Shi Qian continued to put pressure on Zero Nine, he also responded to his clones in his mind.

[Apart from the eleventh year, the other dimensions are theoretically locked. Although the stone tablet is clearly meant to convey information to the outside world, it doesn't make sense. How do they know the state of the outside world, or do they not know at all? We still need to find a way to understand the specific meaning of the stone tablet's contents. Now, Old Deng and I both have our own needs and have made advance preparations for countermeasures. However, it's actually safer for him. If the pressure becomes too great, we'll be the only ones who have to leave.]

Lingjiu closed her eyes tightly, as if finally giving in.

"The things on the stone slab are about the [ruins]."

Seeing that Ling Jiu Xu finally spoke, Shi Qian's heart also stirred with excitement; finally, it was time to speak—

He waited so long the flowers had all withered—

However, he didn't show any outward expression, waiting for Zero Nine to reveal more information.

At the same time, have clone number one and clone number three pay more attention to the content related to the ruins.

"Ruins are what each dimension projects onto the main world."

"Only with a long-term development of civilization can relics be produced in the main world."

"In the hands of [God], or, to you, the creator of the game, resources are allocated reasonably and placed into suitable communities in the main world."

"You wait!"

Although Shi Qian had guessed it before, he was still a little shocked to hear someone admit his guess.

Only a long-term, developing civilization can produce relics that reach the main world...

This sentence actually contains a lot of information.

What are the existing ruins and structures in the main world that he truly knows about and has visited?

like...

It seems that there are only abandoned mine tunnels, small underwater ruins, shipwrecks, snow houses without basements, ancient cities that have fallen into silence, and an underwater temple that he restored.

Abandoned mine tunnels are widely distributed throughout the Overworld, and these underground structures can be seen in many places.

The corresponding dimension is the Crystal Empire where he is currently located.

The prototypes for those mine tunnels came from the underground mines on the outskirts of the Crystal Empire's cities.

If we don't count the underwater temple I rebuilt myself...

So, are there four other dimensions that are currently active?

He doesn't yet know where the prototypes for the shipwreck and the igloo came from; perhaps they are from a dimension beyond a portal he will open in the future.

Underwater ruins, ancient cities...

But in the dimension beyond the ancient city, he saw no living creatures; those horned gourds didn't seem like the kind of place that would ever have a civilization...

As for the ancient city, in fact, only the portal should remain.

Are the structures of the ruins in the main world deeply intertwined with the development of dimensional civilizations?

Therefore, the disappearance of structures like desert temples is because...

Is desert civilization on the verge of extinction?

But they're still conducting intense energy research there, and there are plenty of living people there. It can't possibly be worse off than the unseen, dark realm...

If the Dark Realm truly cannot see people, then can it be considered a dimension that is still developing?

Can...

This really doesn't make sense!

and also!

He had seen the prototype of the underwater ruins.

The hometown of the Etching Man!

There are still a bunch of Schrödinger-state etched figures lying under the banner of mortal evil!

According to the etcher, those...

Shouldn't they have already died out and become extinct?

The dimensions cover the generation of giant dolphins.

How can it still be considered... a developing civilization...?

Judging from the situation in the ocean of the main world, underwater ruins are quite common.

Its density is much higher than that of igloos and shipwrecks.

them...

Those Etchers, and the Starless Ones...

Are they all still alive?

No, he didn't see any relics among the ruins that didn't belong to the etched human architectural style.

The ruins in the main world are also etched with human remains.

So...

Did the etched man survive and successfully escape?

And now, in some unknown dimension, it's developing quite well?

Shi Qian felt his CPU was overheating.

Ling Jiuxu noticed that after he entered a state of deep thought, he looked a little dazed, which clearly indicated that he knew more about the matter.

"What do you know?"

Sequence 09 desperately needs more information about the outside world.

Before Shi Qian came in, when the door was closed, he had absolutely no way to communicate with the outside world.

He had assumed that the dimension would remain sealed off indefinitely, allowing him and his people to continue living a self-sufficient life.

but.

Shi Qian opened the door...

I initially thought he had just wandered in by mistake, but his lingering behavior revealed that he had a rather ulterior motive.

Moreover, according to him, the portal to his home is quite easy to open.

He needs information from the outside world...

Having been isolated from the outside world for too long, he knew from Shi Qian's account that things were relatively peaceful outside for the time being.

But they still refused to take the risks themselves.

Fortunately, Shi Qian seems to be able to deceive and trade.

The portal coordinates he provided were from a residence he was relatively familiar with before the world was locked down.

...The results we have obtained so far are not optimistic.

Although there is a lot of information on the stone tablet, according to Shi Qian, there is no one in this dimension.

This is a bad thing...

"Tell me what you know first, not just what's behind the stone slab, but also the coffin."

Shi Qian looked on coldly.

The information about the ruins is undoubtedly very important, and Zero Nine wanted to conceal it.

He has no idea what his intentions are...

"You can tell me about the stone slab now, but the contents of the coffin will have to wait until you finish telling me about the jungle."

"Have you forgotten that we talked about the portal coordinates a long time ago? That's what you promised me."

"Why don't you give me the coordinates you promised last time? The stone slab and coffin are fine, and the rest of this is fine too. I'll just leave, how about that?"

Ling Jiuxu's body froze for a moment.

He had truly forgotten about it.

I thought my old friend could take care of this guy directly in another dimension...

Ugh, this is troublesome...

“I said… I’ll say it now, I’ll tell you everything. The coordinates will be given to you after the information about the jungle.”

"...The next coordinate is the Heavenly Realm. You probably don't have any other way to get the coordinates besides me, right? You won't leave our information exchange."

When Shi Qian heard the word "Heavenly Realm," his pupils flickered.

Then she chuckled softly.

"You're right, so have a pleasant transaction."

"Happy transaction..."
