Chapter 1679: Upgrades
Sein found his conversation with the avatar deeply enlightening.
Gilbert, Grethel, and the others felt the same.
Although they had not directly gained any technological secrets from the exchange, it had nonetheless greatly broadened their horizons and deepened their understanding.
The talk about the rise and fall of top-tier civilizations, in particular, left them contemplative.
A faint doubt even surfaced in Sein’s heart—would the Magus Civilization’s prosperity truly last?
Could it be that tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years from now, the Magus Civilization would also collapse into dust and ruins? Just like the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization, it would also leave behind nothing but remnants for future generations to ponder.
And what, exactly, was the secret behind dimensional upgrades? What was that new world the avatar had mentioned?
“For an entire civilization, an individual is insignificant. To the Astral Realm and the long river of time, even a single civilization, no matter how advanced, is insignificant as well. All we can do is strive to the best of our ability, and do what we believe is right,” Sein said.
Gilbert nodded in agreement. As the eldest among them, he found himself particularly receptive to Sein’s perspective.
During their continued exploration of the upper levels of the skyscraper, the avatar did not refuse when Sein asked if he could collect technological data left behind by the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization.
The Magus Civilization acquiring these technological achievements would have no real impact on the avatar itself, nor on the long-vanished Eiyurant Papillon Civilization that had created it.
Sein had originally considered persuading the artificial intelligence through emotional appeals or other incentives.
