Clarke

Clark followed the high priest off the spacecraft and walked into the ship. The white corridor along the way was filled with the rapid breathing of the high priest.

The high priest led the way, and the two gradually walked to the center of the ship.

After a long time, the two came to a white electronic door.

The high priest stopped and stood in front of the door, swallowing hard and trying to calm his breathing.

The high priest thanked Clark without looking back.

"Thank you, stranger. You made it possible for me to come back to this place, which has been a lifelong dream of mine."

The words of the high priest revealed full of gratitude and satisfaction.

Without waiting for Clark to respond, the high priest stepped forward and knocked carefully on the electronic door.

The electronic door full of technology and the clumsy and gentle movements of the high priest form a unique picture.

Ten seconds later, the electronic door slowly slid open to the right with a beeping sound.

The high priest trembled with excitement and almost had tears in his eyes.

When the door was completely opened, the high priest couldn't wait to float into the room.

Inside the electronic door is a very ordinary room that looks like a library.

A white-haired man wearing a white robe was suspended in the air, holding a thick book in his hand and reading carefully.

The high priest shouted excitedly but restrainedly.

"Mother, I..."

The white-haired man waved his right hand casually as he turned the pages of the book, and the high priest suddenly disappeared.

The white-haired man folded a corner of the lower right corner of the book as a mark, closed the book and looked at the wary Clark with a smile.

"Hello, Clark. Welcome to my place."

The white-haired man's English is so good that he can work as an English teacher in any school.

Clark glanced at the place where the high priest disappeared and asked cautiously.

"What did you do to him and why do you know my name?"

The white-haired man said with a calm expression.

"Ah, kill him. He has no use anymore."

The white-haired man saw that Clark was a little confused and waved to Clark to come over.

Clark stood unmoved.

The white-haired man shrugged without forcing it, and with a wave of his hand, a model of a planet appeared in the air.

"This is the planet below. I made it more than 1 years ago. How about it? It's quite beautiful."

The planet model rotated with the rotation of the white-haired man's palm. Clark looked at the mountains and rivers above and the snow-capped mountains. He nodded and admitted that the planet was indeed beautiful.

The white-haired man smiled proudly, waved his hand and the planet turned into a light screen and started to play some pictures.

“Stoneheart’s story is very simple.

"Once upon a time there was a planet that was barren and devoid of any life, until the goddess of life, the creator of the world."

The white-haired man pointed at himself.

"It is I who created all life in the world

“After the goddess of life created human beings, she felt that they were too fragile, so she created five powerful and loyal sons and daughters to help her take care of humans.

"The five holy spirits, Stone Heart, Thunder Eye, Iron Fist, Flame Bird, and Snow Rhino, each protect a city.

“Thousands of years later, the five cities developed into five kingdoms. They conquered each other and used their most powerful weapons to destroy each other.

“The war has been going on for more than 1000 years, and only five cities and some small settlements remain in the entire human civilization.

"The Goddess of Life was awakened by the quarrels between her children. The heartbroken Goddess of Life asked them to stop the war and sealed the wisdom that would prevent mankind from war.

"The goddess gave five artifacts to allow her children to learn advanced knowledge.

"The goddess promised: When one of the five holy spirits gathers the five artifacts in a peaceful way, he will bestow wisdom on mortals and redeem mankind.

“Thousands of years ago, Stone Heart gathered the five kingdoms through various means and unified the planet.

"Stone Heart came to the temple with five keys with his attachment and longing for the goddess, and made his wish to return to the temple, return to me and continue to serve me."

The white-haired man smacked his mouth with regret and shook his head.

"It's a pity that I was in a bad mood at the time, so I threw the five keys down and redistributed them to the five tribes and asked him to do it again."

The white-haired man smiled wickedly.

"The goddess's will has changed. This time she asked Stone Heart to use force to obtain the five keys. She also turned the wise and mighty human ruler into an ugly appearance as punishment."

......

Seeing that Clark was still expressionless, the white-haired man curled his lips in boredom.

"Don't be so anxious. It will take a long time for me to see an outsider."

"Then let me tell you another story."

The white-haired man changed his position on the chair and continued speaking in a narrator-like voice.

“There once was a programmer. His usual hobby was to play various games, create various characters and perform some interesting scripts in the world he created to pass the boring time.

“One day he created a planet and a new script as usual, and arranged some characters and stories as usual.

“As usual, I used robots to play minor roles and cyborgs to play important roles.

"He was boringly perfecting the story, and then on a whim, he changed the template and used a cyborg as a supporting role, a robot as the protagonist, and replaced all the previous monsters with robots.

“He was deeply impressed by his wonderful idea.

“The story development in this new world is very interesting.

“He discovered things in the development of the storyline that he had never discovered before.”

The white-haired man saw Clark frowning and waved his hands helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to finish talking soon, just a moment."

The tone of the white-haired man changed again.

"In the previous script, the robot rulers did not have any strange views on the cyborgs who were different from themselves. They regarded robots and cyborgs as two species. The cyborgs also had no idea about the robots that ruled them from the beginning. Very respectful.

“And in this reversal of the script, there is a very interesting point.

"When the cyborgs became rulers, they looked down on those robots from beginning to end.

"Hahahaha, whether it's interesting or not, it's still a manufactured toy. But they always feel that they are naturally superior to others."

The white-haired man laughed loudly while sitting on the chair, curled up in a ball, and shed tears.

“I reset this script thousands of times and never got an exception.

"Stone Heart has been given flesh and blood by me thousands of times, and every time it is reset, it will develop into the same situation as the last time.

"Tell me, could it be that we are also toys in a created world?

“We are also going through reset after reset.

"Hahahahaha"

Clark couldn't stand it any longer, and rushed towards the white-haired man with a burst of dark red energy.

The white-haired man laughed and casually held the flying energy in his palm, and the dark red energy gradually disappeared in his palm.

The white-haired man slowly stopped smiling and waved to the wary Clark.

"Don't be nervous. Since you don't want to hear my story, just leave with what you want."

The white-haired man threw a silver metal ball and flew towards Clark.

Clark caught the metal ball and looked through it, wondering what it was.

Clark raised his head and looked at the white-haired man in confusion.

"I didn't say I came here to ask for something from you."

The white-haired man rolled his eyes disdainfully.

"It's not for you."

Clark's body flashed with dark red light, as if responding to the white-haired man.

Clark held the ball, and then he realized that the white-haired man was not talking to himself for a long time, but to the ether particles in his body.

Clark vaguely felt that he was despised, but it seemed that the other party did have the strength to despise him.

Clark shrugged, accepting the fact calmly.

"Do you have any way for me to leave here and return to Earth?"

The white-haired man had already turned around and continued reading his book. He pointed in a direction.

"There is a spaceship over there, drive it away by yourself."

Clark turned and left the library. After finding the spacecraft, the ether particles flashed slightly and Clark learned how to operate it.

Clark operated the spacecraft to leave the ship, glanced at the planet behind him, started the jump and disappeared.

......

Among the ships.

The white-haired man looked at where Clark left and muttered.

"Maybe we really have been reset."
