The little brachiosaurus led Ling Yi and the others straight to the largest, pure black brachiosaurus in the middle.
A series of "chirp chirp chirp" sounds seemed to be an introduction of Ling Yi and the others.
"They definitely have their own language system," Guan Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
"Hmm, I'll see if I can find anything that can understand their language."
After a while, Ling Yi took out several metal patches that looked like buttons.
He stuck one of the tokens to his temple and the other to his forehead, a gesture that startled the brachiosaurus, which was communicating with the black-necked dinosaur.
"Can you understand me?" Ling Yi asked tentatively.
The little brachiosaurus's expression immediately became excited, and it chirped a few times.
Ling Yi instantly understood what the little brachiosaurus meant, "I understand, I understand."
"This must be your leader, right? Tell him that this sticker on his forehead will allow us to communicate with each other."
The little ceratops immediately told the black-necked dinosaur about it.
The black-necked dragon nodded, but it was a bit difficult for its huge claws to stick to such a small thing, so it had to ask Ling Yi for help.
After a series of actions, humans and ancient creatures began their first formal communication.
Guan Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Why can't I understand what they're saying, but I can understand what they mean?"
"This is a brainwave translator; to be precise, it doesn't translate language, but rather brainwave information."
"Okay!" Guan Xiaoxiao felt she had asked a pointless question, and even Ling Yi's explanation left her with only vague understanding.
"My name is Black, and I am the leader of the Toke tribe. Which tribe do you belong to? Why have I never seen creatures like you before?" the Black Dragon leader asked.
Black, that's a simple name. Toke, that's probably what the brachiosaurs called their own kind.
"My name is Ling Yi, and this is my partner, Guan Xiaoxiao. We are human, and we come from 130 million years in the future."
"One hundred million, thirty million, after the year, what does that mean?"
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood; they were unfamiliar with human methods of recording years.
So I patiently explained the concepts of day, month, and year.
After understanding all this, Hei's expression was one of utter shock.
"The future!" Hei stared at Ling Yi, his face filled with curiosity.
"In the future, will we be friends or enemies with humanity?" Hei asked a question that surprised Ling Yi.
"Neither friend nor foe, in the future, you will be Miejue, and humanity will become the sole ruler of the world."
"Did humans destroy Toke?"
"No, your dinosaur civilization probably Miejue tens of millions of years later due to an accident."
"You dinosaurs ruled this planet for hundreds of millions of years, while we humans have only existed for a few hundred thousand years."
Guan Xiaoxiao frowned and said in a low voice, "Why did you tell them this? Won't this make them feel hopeless?"
The Black Dragon shook its head and said, "You're wrong. Toke lifespan is only three hundred years. Tens of millions of years is a very distant future for us. Death means disappearance. We will disappear, and humanity will disappear too."
"..." Guan Xiaoxiao was suddenly speechless. This sentence sounded simple, but it revealed the inevitable future of mankind.
Even if humanity can survive indefinitely through technology, what about tens of millions of years from now? How many crises will humanity face?
Bacteria, viruses, meteorite impacts, the decay of the sun—even if humanity gains the ability to travel through space, how long can it withstand the unknowns of the universe?
Moreover, humanity has never been a peaceful species; wars can break out at any time. Perhaps in a few hundred years, not even tens of millions of years, we might destroy ourselves.
"Did you encounter any crisis?" Ling Yi asked, changing the subject.
"They are a group of Bouncing Beasts. They are small in size but huge in number. Wherever they go, everything turns to bones."
" Bouncing Beasts?" Just from the name, Ling Yi had a hard time guessing what this Bouncing Beasts was.
"They were about this tall, with colorful feathers and sharp teeth," the little brachiosaurus said, gesturing with its forelegs.
"Could it be Tyrannosaurus?" An image flashed through Ling Yi's mind.
"If it's Tyrannosaurus Rex, the number of troops I brought might not be enough. Where would they appear from?"
"The place where the jungle meets the plains to the west," Black said, pointing westward.
"Take me there!"
Led by Hei, they arrived at an extremely wide plain, with an ancient forest covered by tall plants in the distance.
The forest was quite dark and somewhat eerie because the dense foliage blocked out the light.
Ling Yi noticed that the " Toke " all looked at the forest with fear in their eyes.
On the plains, there are a large number of dinosaur skeletons. Judging from the skeletons, most of them are those of " Toke ". Many places are pitted and uneven, which are probably traces of war.
"A human wave tactic?" Ling Yi shook his head, looking at the massive body of " Toke ". After a moment of thought, Ling Yi came up with a plan.
Equip " Toke " with nano armor, and then add a small defensive turret to Toke's back. That way, you'll have a group of mobile turrets.
But that wasn't enough; the firepower was still a bit lacking. Ling Yi then exchanged for a bunch of CNC weapons and installed them on the legs and head of " Toke." This way, it could attack targets from above, below, in front, behind, and to the sides, making its defense and Combat absolutely top-notch.
After witnessing the power of human weapons, Black showed great enthusiasm.
The power of this technology fascinated the leader of the " Toke ".
Ling Yi simply created a knowledge-based clone to teach him. Ling Yi was very interested to see how far dinosaurs could go in using technology.
Through communication, Ling Yi discovered that most dinosaurs had intelligence levels similar to humans, but some dinosaurs had intelligence levels far exceeding those of ordinary humans.
"Won't what you're doing change history? If these dinosaurs had mastered technology and civilization and didn't Miejue, would humans still have any room to survive?" Guan Xiaoxiao asked.
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "After we traveled here, it's no longer the same time and space. We changed the past, but the future won't change because of the past. Otherwise, you, me, and all those other people who traveled here would have disappeared long ago because of the altered history."
Parallel universes?
"Yes, we exist in the past, and the past will branch out, naturally giving rise to a parallel universe."
Ling Yi's words were not only an explanation to Guan Xiaoxiao, but also to those "experts" watching the live stream.
Ever since Ling Yi helped " Toke " and the others, some people have been clamoring that this would change history, and what would Yunyun if history changed.
Ling Yi has traveled through so many worlds, and very few of them completely follow the rules of the time paradox.
In most worlds, changes to the past create parallel universes.
In Ling Yi's view, the paradox of time and space is a false proposition. The future is already determined, and no matter how the past changes, the future is immutable.
Does changing the past affect the future? This is simply a hypothesis and it doesn't hold true.
Because time cannot be reversed, you can go back to the past, but time itself cannot be reversed.
As Big Shot of the laws, Ling Yi's understanding of time has reached an extreme level; no one understands the irreversibility of time better than him.
Just like Ling Yi's Reset Aura, each reset brings forth a completely new story and a completely new plot.
However, the Reset Aura has a domineering attribute: when a new story is born, the original timeline is forcibly destroyed and erased without leaving a trace.
This was something Ling Yi discovered after using the Reset Aura once.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Ling Yi has become much more indifferent to life.
With a wave of his hand, he creates; with a wave of his hand, he destroys. Countless lives disappear or Revive in the Ling Yi. If one faces this for a long time, one will naturally become indifferent to life.
This is what is known as the aftereffects of time travel.
Guan Xiaoxiao had reminded him of this point before, which made Ling Yi realize his problem.
But Ling Yi didn't know how to get rid of this negative state for the time being.
By this time, it was completely dark.
The sun sets, the moon rises.
The moon in ancient times was significantly larger than the moon today. Even without a telescope, the craters on the moon could be seen with the naked eye.
Ling Yi and Guan Xiaoxiao didn't go back to the base; instead, they set up a tent at " Toke ".
Hei instructed his men to prepare a lot of food for Ling Yi, but it consisted mainly of various kinds of fruit.
"There's no meat!" Guan Xiaoxiao said, somewhat disappointed.
"You should be grateful. It's already good enough that they didn't prepare a bunch of leaves for us. After all, in the eyes of the ' Toke,' leaves are the real delicacy."
"Can't your cheat program conjure up meat?"
"Yes, but you can't eat it in front of ' Toke.' From their words, you can tell they have a strong aversion to carnivorous creatures."
"Then forget it."
Neither of them recognized the variety of the fruit, and what's more, the fruit was enormous.
For example, a fruit that looks like a watermelon can weigh several hundred kilograms and has a diameter of over one meter.
The two of them couldn't even finish one watermelon.
This certainly made the viewers watching the live stream very hungry.
Currently, the number of viewers watching live streams on the Ancient Nature platform has exceeded one billion, and the number of viewers is increasing both domestically and internationally.
Many viewers offered high prices to buy it, but Ling Yi still refused.
It wasn't that Ling Yi was worried about bacteria or viruses; he had already exchanged for testing equipment, so the fruit was quite safe.
Ling Yi pulled out a semi-transparent light screen, looked at the comments on it, and sneered disdainfully, "I don't want to sell right now. A few guys threatened me before, saying I'd have to be investigated when I got back, or that I'd have to hand over things like that. That really annoyed me."
"Let's talk again when there are no more brainless idiots posting comments."
