Chapter 1679: Heart of The Galaxy

“I almost forgot… It’s been so long since our last conversation.”

Lu Zhou looked at “himself” standing in front of him. He opened his mouth and continued with a rather confused expression, “Actually, last time I wanted to say this, can you put on a different skin? It feels weird to talk to myself…”

​ 

“It’s a shame that our aesthetic imagination is scarce, so we don’t have a form that can be directly observed by three-dimensional creatures, and we can only communicate with you face-to-face like this… Of course, I can also search from your memory and find a substitute—”

“No need.” Lu Zhou said quickly as he looked at the gradually distorted projection, “This is fine.”

Lu Zhou felt uncomfortable to have his mind read.

Also, he felt like this guy would turn into a weird person.

“Really? You humans are really perplexing.”

Lu Zhou looked at the observer who was looking at him curiously. He coughed slightly and said, “Let’s put aside the details. You came all the way to see me. It must have been quite troublesome.”

“Of course.” The Observer standing in front of Lu Zhou continued with a slight nod, “It is not risk-free to speak your own voice from the Void. If we convey our understanding of truth to the world, what is consumed is not only energy but also the treasures we brought from the old universe to the Void… Both of them are non-renewable resources in the Void.”

Lu Zhou: “Thank you for that then.”

“You’re welcome.” The Observer smiled faintly and continued, “To a large extent, helping you is also helping ourselves.”

The Observer paused for a moment and reached in the air.

Lu Zhou noticed that there was a bright silver light in its hand.

Its outline was like a burning fireball, but what was surprising was that the fireball was not overly bright. It had a comfortable glow. Even if he looked directly at it, he wouldn’t feel discomfort.

Lu Zhou was attracted by the silver light, and he stared at it for a long time.

Finally, unable to restrain the bewildered in his heart, he whispered, “What’s this…?”

“It has a poetic name, it came from a poet in the old universe.” The Observer smiled lightly and said softly, “In your language, it is the Heart of The Galaxy.”

Heart of The Galaxy?

Lu Zhou froze for a second. He stared at the silver-white sphere with confusion on his face.

“What is… the Heart of The Galaxy?”

The Observer: “Like its name implies, it is the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, which was born at the beginning of the universe. It has no fixed form. It drifts between energy and matter, and it is independent of time and space.”

“Drifting between energy and matter, independent of time and space?” Lu Zhou’s eyes flashed with intense curiosity. He looked at the silver light in The Observer’s hand and continued to ask, “I have never heard of it before. What a peculiar substance… What is its state?”

The Observer: “How we named it doesn’t make any sense to you. The key lies in how you name it and study it.”

Lu Zhou had vaguely sensed something. He moved his eyes up two inches, looked at his own face, and spoke.

“So you plan to let me research this thing?”

“Yes.”

The Observer nodded its head gently, reached out its right hand, and gently placed the silver light on Lu Zhou’s hand.

“Over billions of years, we have learned all the secrets about it, but our intuition about science tells us that there are still hidden things we don’t understand… or things that we have missed due to negligence.

“Therefore, we search for promising civilizations in the universe, selecting suitable talents from them to complete those research projects that require creativity, which we do not possess.”

“I don’t understand,” Lu Zhou said with a puzzled tone while looking at the Heart of The Galaxy in his hand. “But why me? I don’t have anything special.”

“It may seem like this to you, but the way we think about problems may be a little different from yours.” The Observer smiled faintly and continued, “Although the process may be a bit cumbersome, at least so far, everything is on the right track… However, the future that we can predict ends here.”

Having said that, it paused for a moment and continued, “We have given you all the help we can provide. As for the way forward, that all depends on your own choice.

“Farewell, my friend, although we have only met twice, as I said before, I quite like you.”

“Wait a minute! What exactly is the Future Era?” Lu Zhou looked at The Observer who seemed to be leaving, and he quickly asked, “It was written on the page of the system instructions, as long as I achieve full levels, I can unlock options for the Future Era…”

“Future Era?”

The Observer smiled lightly. It spoke in a philosophical and witty tone.

“Haven’t you already seen it?”

Lu Zhou was stunned.

Even though he thought of this possibility before, he did not expect that this so-called “reward for unlocking the Future Era” was really just a… placeholder?

When he reached full rank level 10, he naturally would enter the future.

Lu Zhou had a dumbfounded expression on his face. The Observer’s voice and outline gradually faded as it continued in a gentle tone.

“The future is created with your own hands, don’t you think this is the most precious treasure in this world? Besides, I even gave you the Heart of The Galaxy. How can you be unsatisfied?”

Lu Zhou: “… The reason you gave it to me is so that you can use me to unlock its secrets.”

The Observer nodded and said in a relaxed tone, “I do not deny this, but this is not completely out of selfishness. Remember, your research results may be related to the fate of the entire universe. And as a creature in this universe, you have the ability to do something, I still hope you can shoulder the responsibilities that belong to you.”

The figure standing in front of Lu Zhou suddenly became unstable.

Like a flickering candlelight, it might extinguish at any time.

“Before you disappear, can I ask you a question?” Lu Zhou stared at it intently. As he noticed the fading light particles and outline, he asked, “What the hell is the natural disaster…? Can you tell me?”

Lu Zhou intuition told him that after this face-to-face conversation, it would be a long, long time before he saw this guy again.

Perhaps this was their last conversation.

The Observer’s eyebrows were slightly raised, and a thoughtful expression appeared on The Observer’s face.

“Natural disaster? I thought it would be better to tell you later…”

“It’s better to tell me now.” Lu Zhou said hastily, “I won’t be able to wait that long.”

“You’re right, then remember, for the sake of this universe, please keep your lips sealed.”

“I promise.”

After Lu Zhou made a serious promise, The Observer smiled lightly and walked in front of him.

The outline formed by thousands of light particles had begun to blur, like broken soap bubbles, disappearing one after another in the untouchable wind.

It leaned close to Lu Zhou’s ear. Its lips moved lightly as it whispered.

“The natural disaster is…”

Lu Zhou’s pupils dilated slightly, and he was silent for a while. He looked at the disappearing bubbles and nodded gently.

“I understand.”
