The Origin of the Awakeners
His words left everyone speechless for a long time; they needed to process this sudden information.
If 'Illusion' hadn't spoken, no one present, not even humans, would have realized that the Third-Person Dream Realm perspective is a human gift, because it is indeed too commonplace for humans. Although humans don't always dream from Third-Person Perspective, for many years everyone has known that they have dreamed from Third-Person Perspective.
Few people care about the occasional Third-Person Perspective in dreams, nor do they realize or think about whether other Alien Race also have Third-Person Perspective Dreamscape.
And now, 'Illusion'—yes, although it is the Intelligent System left behind by 'Illusion' that is speaking, the fact that the Intelligent System can say these things and tell humans these things must mean that its creator, 'Illusion', wanted it to say them, so it is equivalent to 'Illusion' speaking.
In fact, ever since the official explanation of Dreamscape Event as the Awakeners, humans have always believed that the dreams they have, the abilities they gain in dreams, the increased energy they experience, the ability to switch dream perspectives at will, and the freedom to sleep whenever they want are all the work of Awakeners, awakening humanity's Racial Talent.
But now 'Illusion' tells humanity: You already possessed this Racial Talent; we merely guide and accelerate the process, rather than awakening it.
Yes, talent is called talent because it is something we naturally possess.
"I never imagined that what we take for granted is actually our talent." Looking at the silent crowd, Yue Yuan sighed inwardly.
Such things are indeed difficult to discover, since very few people study them, let alone notice the differences between their own race's dreams and those of other Alien Race. It's fair to say that if humanity had never encountered other Alien Race, it would never have discovered that this was a unique talent of its own race.
It is only because the Awakeners are a well-informed and advanced civilization that has come into contact with many races, and because there are few individual lives of their own race experiencing Third-Person Dream Realm, and because they are a civilization that spans the entire galaxy, that they dare to say such a thing.
Humanity has truly owed the Awakeners a great debt of gratitude this time.
Now everyone understands why the Awakener 'Illusion'' warned humanity against selling its scientists. It now seems that not only should we not sell them, but every individual human being must not be captured by aliens.
It would be fine if we were captured by aliens who don't understand Third-Person Dream Realm, but if we were captured by a civilization like the Awakeners who do understand dreams, and who doesn't have the same benevolence as the Awakeners, then humanity would be in danger.
According to the Intelligent System, the Awakeners also possesses this capability.
At this moment, Yue Yuan realized a problem: the reason why the Awakeners were able to discover human talents was probably related to the fact that their own race also had such talents. They had the technology related to these talents, so they easily discovered human Racial Talent. However, at that time, humans were too weak, so they did not say anything and just silently watched humans from behind.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. Now all of the Awakeners's actions make sense. No wonder the Awakener 'Illusion'' said that if they had encountered humans before embarking on their the Great Voyage Road, then the fate of humans might have been different. Yes, the entire race is born with this talent, how could they not be tempted? Fortunately, the Awakeners seem to have already passed a certain stage, and their pursuits have changed. That's why they turned to help humans, hoping that humans can become their partners in the future." Yue Yuan quickly went through the events from encountering the Awakeners to the present in his mind, connecting the whole story.
After a short while, Yue Yuan looked at the creation on the big screen and asked, "If I may ask, is the talent of the Awakener Civilization race also like ours, a third-person perspective dream?"
"Yes." The Intelligent System replied in the voice that 'Illusion' usually used when talking to humans, "But our Awakener Civilization did not awaken this talent at Low-level Civilization like you. It was only when we reached the peak of the Level 5 Civilization that our race had Third-Person Perspective Dreamscape. And as time went on, more and more of them appeared. They were discovered by an institution that had been specializing in the field of consciousness technology. After many years of research, it was confirmed that this was our Racial Talent."
Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan muttered to himself, "We're not some Low-level Civilization where people awaken this kind of talent. It's an ability that everyone is born with in the Primitive Civilization stage. It's not awakening at all."
The Intelligent System continued, speaking as if telling a story, "Back then, we called these Third-Person Perspective Dreamscape 'Awakened.' Later, as our technology in the realm of consciousness advanced, we discovered that all members of our race actually possess this potential."
However, awakening is extremely difficult. Fortunately, our scientific foundation in the field of consciousness is profound enough, and through the efforts of countless scientists, we have finally found a way to awaken our individual lives.
Dai De, who had dedicated his life to the study of mind and consciousness, couldn't help but interject, "Is it a dream? Have you created Dream Machine?"
"Hmm, the name 'Dream Machine' is quite fitting, but in our civilization, this kind of machine is called Consciousness Resonance Instrument. The name isn't important; what's important is that we've created a machine that can awaken the talents of our people." The Intelligent System spoke slowly, seemingly embracing the role of the Awakener Civilization. Indeed, it belonged to the Awakener Civilization, so referring to it as 'we' in its narration was not wrong.
"Thanks to the Dream Machine, more and more individual beings in our civilization are experiencing Third-Person Perspective Dreamscape. Of course, it's not easy; some of our individual beings can stimulate themselves with the Dream Machine their entire lives but still fail to awaken their talents."
In order to understand why some individual life forms cannot awaken, our Awakener Civilization has made great efforts. We have traveled to almost every corner of the Triangulum Galaxy, found one civilization after another, and conducted countless experiments. Finally, we discovered some clues—after Fallen Civilization is awakened, there is a small probability that Third-Person Perspective Dreamscape will appear.
Our scientists have studied this phenomenon for tens of thousands of years, trying to understand its causes and then apply the results to our own civilization. Through the efforts of countless scientists, we have indeed achieved some results. Based on these results, the number of our Awakened has increased significantly. Therefore, we have become known Awakeners in the mouths of many civilizations, a name we also like. Thus, we proclaim to all civilizations that we are the Lucky Star Awakener Civilization of Fallen Civilization.
