Chapter 130: Another version of history...
Chapter 130: Another version of history...
After Shi Qian entered the portal, the players sprang up from the ground like mushrooms after rain.
Many of the live stream shots were switched back to the players' perspective.
Now that the door is open and Shi Qian isn't blocking them outside, there's no need to rush anymore.
They suspected that Shi Qian might be waiting for them on the other side of the portal.
At this moment, no players have entered the room. They are either waiting for someone to be the first to test the waters or discussing what Shi Qian just said.
Shi Qian's words contained a lot of information.
"Mining", "resources", "indigenous people"...
This proves that there are definitely minerals in this dimension.
Shi Qian doesn't care how players acquire these resources; he only cares that players don't harm the native inhabitants...
This means that there must be living beings in that dimension.
However, even now, players still don't know what the native inhabitants of the dimension look like.
Ever since Ah Qi entered the Frozen Dimension, he has been live-streaming his adventures every day.
I just didn't see the "indigenous people" mentioned in that title.
Ah Qi has traveled all over the dimensions, both above and below.
I've been to the Overturned Water Canyon, walked through the Ice Delta, and even found a boiling spring.
They also discovered the existence of hydrothermal deposits and figured out how to upgrade them.
I never found any "native inhabitants," but I did see sea turtles a few times.
However, they found no problems at all and were still searching for the existence of "people".
Even players watching the live stream began to doubt whether the "native inhabitants" really existed.
However, Shi Qian's words undoubtedly shattered their ideas.
The fact that the big villain has admitted the existence of the "natives" means that he must have seen them.
Although, from the players' perspective, Shi Qian himself is, in a sense, a native of this world...
But that was Shi Qian, who had been by the player's side since the very beginning of the game.
They no longer regarded him as a mere creation of a game, but as a living, breathing person.
Now, in the players' eyes, Shi Qian's words are a statement of his own position.
He, the great demon Shi Qian, stands on the side of the game world's natives, opposing the players...
Players gathered around the portal, dismantling the spider webs left behind by Shi Qian while engaging in heated speculation and discussion about the appearance of the "native inhabitants" and the world inside the portal.
Some time has passed since Shi Qian entered the portal, and some people think that Shi Qian has already left the vicinity of the portal, so going in now shouldn't result in a direct collision with him.
One player took the first step towards the portal, intending to be the first to try it.
Other players recognized him as the guy who found the portal.
All eyes were on him, watching him silently as he took each step into the portal until he disappeared into its light.
Seeing that someone had gone in, the other players couldn't resist and rushed straight in.
Seeing this, the remaining people also began to squeeze in.
Players have a collision volume, and this game has a way of dying called "suffocation"...
Several players' loot exploded all over the ground, then were swept up by the still-lingering gale.
The experience orb didn't fly away, but it was absorbed into the experience bars of the surrounding players.
The players whose experience bars were rising exchanged glances and began to push forward at an accelerated pace.
Chaos reigned around the desert portal.
Coupled with the lingering storm, it felt like the end of the world.
...
Ice-cracked abyss.
Shi Qian stared at the pages of the book in his hand, his face grim.
I never expected there to be such a hidden story...
The Faceless Fish tells an almost entirely different story.
As Shi Qian spoke, he took out "The Past Beyond Time".
As the faceless fish slowly uttered its words, the text on the pages began to rearrange and recombine.
The different areas were highlighted in red and hidden in the lower layers, their original locations covered by the words of the faceless fish.
The red text next to it was very small, almost like annotations.
Shi Qian was shocked by the book's strange abilities, and even more shocked by the world described in the Faceless Fish's words.
Aside from the fact that the world before the "humans" in the story open the door is roughly the same, the rest of the content is completely different between the two versions.
The humans in the story of the Faceless Fish don't seem to be so peaceful, but they're not like the players now either; they should still be considered native humans.
They came to the new dimension to "colonize" it.
However, they didn't completely exterminate the native creatures of the ocean and snowfields...
However... the resources belonging to this world are being continuously transported to their world.
The native creatures were forced into labor, tasked with leading the humans to find what they desired.
After the protozoa mastered human language, those humans heard about the special item called the "energy core".
From this point on, their goal was no longer just the resources here, but also the two energy cores...
The reason for the dimensional imbalance is not that snowfield creatures have run away.
It's because of the leakage of the dimensional origin, that is, the resources that were taken away by humans.
Compared to the ocean, they have easier access to the snowfields, and obtaining minerals is also more convenient and faster.
It was the snowfield that couldn't hold on at first...
Those creatures that entered the portal escaped as the world began to slowly collapse.
But the ocean isn't much better off, with the loss of vast amounts of resources.
The seabed began to tremble, unable to hold onto its energy resources.
These are the boiling springs that gush out with the collapse, and the accompanying hydrothermal mineral layers are among the rarest energy sources in the ocean.
Human beings...
They saw the world was on the verge of collapse and wanted to grab as much benefit as possible at the last moment.
Mining hydrothermal vents is not for the purpose of helping marine life, but purely for the energy they provide.
and...
And it's not just these sordid things.
Do you still remember those goals of humanity?
They want more than just resources; they want the core.
But they actually found it...
However, as they approached, the snowfield collapsed to an extremely dangerous degree.
The snowfield rises vertically above the sea level.
The portal to humanity was compressed.
The humans who found the core of humanity could no longer return to their world.
They disappeared from this dimension not long after.
However, with the energy core exposed, the entire dimension became completely unstable.
Even if the energy stops leaking and being lost, it cannot be restored to its original state.
As for the role of the underwater temple in this incident...
Both sides' accounts were quite similar.
However, one side occurred before the energy core appeared, while the other side occurred after the energy core appeared.
This dimension is beyond saving.
These are the original words of the ancient guardians.
The hostile creatures around the boiling spring are actually displaying their aggression in order to prevent humans from absorbing energy.
Essentially, they are all good fish.
