“Hehe, since you know about my prophecy, can we talk about it now?”Jiang Fei asked with a smile.
“HMM…”Su Rui pondered for a moment. Then, he waved at his subordinates and said, “You guys can leave First!”
“Yes! City Lord!”The other mechs in the hall dispersed. Only the city lord, Su Rui, and Jiang Fei were left.
After the rest of the people had dispersed, Su Rui walked around Jiang Fei twice. He forced himself to calm down and then said to Jiang Fei, “Does your appearance mean that the prophecy will come true?”
“City Lord, whether the prophecy will come true or not, I can’t answer you now because I need to know the content of the prophecy first. Maybe it’s true, or maybe it’s fake,”Jiang Fei said with a faint smile.
“Alright!”Su Rui nodded, then, he said to Jiang Fei, “I accidentally saw this prophecy when I was very young. Now, I have already forgotten where the broken sheepskin scroll is. I can no longer repeat the original text of the prophecy, but I still remember the general meaning.”
“HMM! Tell me about it.”Jiang Fei nodded.
“Alright!”Su Rui organized his words, then, he said to Jiang Fei, “The prophecy said that we were once a very developed race. We could even freely travel between the stars and travel in the universe. It described a very vast starry sky. Each of the planets was as colorful as our world. But later, an accident led to our destruction. We fell into this dusty world.”
“…”Jiang Fei quietly listened to Su Rui’s description. He did not disturb him.
“When we first arrived in this world, we had powerful technology. According to the prophecy, at that time, we had the ability to transform the starry sky. Even if we were sucked into this sealed world, we still relied on powerful technology to transform something called a star system,”Su Rui said, his eyes were filled with longing.
“HMM…”Jiang Fei nodded and gestured for Su Rui to continue.
“After that, for some reason, there was no detailed description in the prophecy. It seemed that there was a disagreement among us. Then, a civil war broke out. This civil war seemed to have broken out between the two planets. I could not quite understand the description during that time. Moreover, because it had been too long, I had almost forgotten about it…”Su Rui said.
“What about the result of the war?”Jiang Fei did not pay too much attention to the details.
“The result of the war was that we were completely divided. Our branch remained, and those who left disappeared forever,”Su Rui said.
“Then why did your technology disappear?”Jiang Fei asked curiously.
“According to the prophecy, because of that war, we lost 90% of our population. Those who survived thought that it was the overly developed technology that led us into the abyss. If it was not for that technology, we would not have been sucked into this sealed world. If it was not for that technology, even if we had internal disagreements, even if we had a civil war, we would not have lost more than 90% of our population. Therefore, in the end, under the decision of the Elder Council, we destroyed all the weapons, sealed all the technology, and then started all over again. From then on, we called ourselves the Protoss, which means the chosen ones, or the survivors… the lucky ones…”Su Rui said with a heavy face.
“This is history. It’s not a prophecy, right?”Jiang Fei asked curiously.
“If it’s only here, then it’s history. However, it also describes one thing. 10,000 years after we lose our technology, an alien called Jiang Fei will come here. He will help us regain the power of our technology. He will help us leave this dust-covered world. He will lead us back to becoming the people of Planet Namek!” Jiang Fei’s expression suddenly became excited.
“Do you really yearn for that kind of life? Aren’t you afraid of the destruction brought about by technology?”Jiang Fei asked curiously.
“Hehe… ever since I saw that scroll when I was young, I have been dreaming almost every day. In my dreams, it was the beautiful world described in the scroll. Moreover, I do not think that the destruction was caused by technology. According to the description in the scroll, technological knowledge is a kind of power. The destruction was caused by the improper use of human beings. In the end, the people who caused the destruction were humans, not technology.”Su Rui’s words made Jiang Fei very surprised, he did not expect this guy who lived in the primitive stage to have such thoughts.
“You are right. That is indeed the case. Technology is not the root of destruction. Humans are.”Jiang Fei nodded.
“Then, can you answer me now? Can you lead us back to the glory of the past as described in the prophecy?”Su Rui asked.
“HMM… I can’t really guarantee that I will be able to return to the glory of the past. However, I have come this time to bring you all out of this place,”said Jiang Fei.
“Leave this place? Where to?”asked Su Rui.
“To the outside world. It is also the place where your former home is located,”said Jiang Fei.
“What about the rest?”Su Rui did not just want to go out. He wanted to live the kind of life described in the scroll.
“The rest… the outside world does have the technology described in the scroll. However, if you want to learn it, it is not a quick thing. However, you can choose to blend in. That way, you can quickly enjoy the fruits of technology,”Jiang Fei said.
“We have lost technology for so many years. is the outside world much more developed than the description in the scroll?”Su Rui asked.
“About that… I’m not lying to you. What do you think of the score? If we were talking about military technology, that is indeed the case. The mechs were not particularly obsessed with it back then. Now, the outside world is indeed more powerful in this aspect. However, in terms of civil technology, there are many things in the outside world that are not as good as the mechs back then.”Jiang Fei sighed, not a single civilization in the outer universe could change a galaxy and create a planet.
“Even so, it’s still better than this boring life! Can you take us away now?”Su Rui was impatient.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible…”Jiang Fei shook his head.
“Why? Are you not willing to take us away?”Su Rui’s expression was not very good.
“Sigh! It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s that I can’t Leave Now!”Jiang Fei sighed.
“Why?”Su Rui was confused.
“Everything was designed by your ancestor. He was afraid that I would not take you away, so he designed the barrier. It requires a level 2 pa.s.sword to open it. I need this level 2 pa.s.sword now, but I don’t know which one of you has it…”Jiang Fei shrugged.
