Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 854 - 512: The Truth of the World: Future and Past!
The voice was very serious, and after all, it was his own voice, so Xu Xin understood clearly that he was not joking!
If he lied, there might really be a big problem.
But he hadn’t lied.
Xu Xin immediately clicked confirm.
"Are you really sure? Are you really not going to change it? Bro, don’t mess around! Our future is in your hands!"
This was Yingying’s voice.
...Is it really that serious? Just knowing some truths, what could it bring him?
But he hadn’t lied either, so he clicked confirm once more.
Suddenly, the options in front of him emitted a dazzling white light!
Then, while he frowned and squinted, instinctively reaching out to shield his eyes, the blinding characters exploded in front of him!
Then, before his eyes, the dazzling white light gradually constructed some objects in this space.
Crystal tables and chairs, some machines he had never seen before... and... two people.
It was himself, and his sister Xu Ying.
This whole setup was full of a sense of technology; it looked genuinely pleasing to the eye.
...A hologram? Or virtual reality?
In front of him, he was wearing strange clothes, and beside him stood his sister, Xu Ying, also dressed in peculiar attire.
He didn’t have an impression of these clothes, but he was very familiar with the headpiece he wore.
Wasn’t this the headdress of that human-face statue that looked exactly like him!
And around them was a room made of crystals emitting a dazzling white light.
...Wasn’t this where he was just now, the third floor of this palace?
He wanted to move closer for a better look, but there was a repulsive force that gently pushed him away, making it impossible to approach directly, forcing him to stop about three meters away from the two.
"Hello, future me." The holographic Xu Xin smiled slightly and waved, "Can you see?"
"What’s the point of asking that? You can’t hear the answer!" Beside him, Xu Ying retorted, "Why are you talking to yourself in front of a machine?"
Yingying, you...
Looking at the holographic Xu Ying, Xu Xin showed a look of surprise.
Why did Yingying look... so much more mature?
Her face, height, figure, overall had grown a lot, she didn’t look like the 16-year-old Xu Ying he knew, but rather... a ten-year-older version of her? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Now she even sort of looked like his older sister!
Wait... this holographic version of himself seemed much older too!
He should be the future Xu Xin!
"That’s what you say, but a sense of ritual is still needed, right?" The holographic Xu Xin rubbed his temples, "Can you be quiet? Or do you want to say it?"
"...You say it." Xu Ying plopped down on the crystal chair nearby and began fiddling with her fingers.
...Did this little girl’s temper change so much?
"I already know your situation; this image is specifically tailored based on your circumstances to help you get out of your current predicament." The holographic Xu Xin glanced at Xu Ying beside him, then explained to his direction.
Get out of the current predicament?
Xu Xin frowned, focusing intently.
What exactly was he getting at? What’s the real situation here?
At this point, the holographic Xu Xin spoke.
His first sentence caused Xu Xin’s pupils to suddenly constrict.
"This world isn’t some otherworld. The ground beneath your feet is still your home planet, Earth."
What?
This is Earth?
You mean this strange planet is Earth?
Then the world he just returned to... what was that?
Wasn’t that supposed to be Earth?
"However, this is not the era we lived in. The time and space you’re in now is Earth a thousand years in the future." The holographic Xu Xin casually said something utterly shocking.
So shocking that Xu Xin’s mouth slightly opened, and his eyes slowly widened.
What?!
A thousand years in the future of Earth?!
"...Is this some sci-fi movie setting?" Xu Xin muttered.
"A thousand years ago, Earth underwent a massive disaster." The holographic Xu Xin began.
He started recounting the events that happened in this world one by one.
A thousand years ago, life from a distant star system leaped over and attacked Earth.
The technology controlled by these life forms was unmatched by Earth’s humanity, with the most significant impact on Earth being the mutation rays.
This was a kind of ray that could cause targeted mutations in organisms. At that time, it irradiated the side of Earth that wasn’t being lit by the sun.
In the darkness, countless life forms exposed to the red light underwent mutations.
Sea creatures, land animals, flying creatures, and even plants and fungi all underwent unimaginable mutations for humanity back then.
Their bodies began to grow covered in blood patterns, with physical strength and speed showing extreme enhancements!
"Looking back, the disaster of that year is still shocking today. That year, I had just turned thirty, and Yingying was already twenty-three, having just graduated from college." The holographic Xu Xin explained.
...?
Xu Xin was even more bewildered on the spot.
Then who was he?
The holographic version of himself was at least in his thirties, so who was the younger version of himself?
...Could it be some younger clone?
"Oh? Wait!" The holographic Xu Ying suddenly brightened her eyes and interrupted, "Now, this brother watching the hologram should be younger than me, right? Right!"
