The World in a Box

In the world inside the box, the land where humanity would be born, a snowstorm raged.
林铭饶有兴致地看着那个颤抖的女孩站在他面前.她是林铭自掌控盒子以来遇到的第一个活物,即使是巨人时代的强大统治者蜈蚣蛇,也看不到林铭,但这个虚弱,消瘦的女孩却可以看到.这激起了林铭的好奇心.
他很想知道为什么这个女孩能看到他.林铭感应到这里可能隐藏着一个巨大的秘密——即使是创作者也会觉得耐人寻味.自从巨人时代垮台后,林铭就没有直接干预盒子内世界的自然演变.但现在,要理解为什么这个无名女孩能看到他,他可能不得不再次开始干预.
林铭一脸疏离,低下头,用这世间的语言平静地说道:"你能看到我吗?
这是一个普通的问题,但对女孩来说,就像一声霹雳,在她耳边响亮.她吓坏了,不敢粗心回答,生怕任何失误都会惹怒林铭.她连忙深深地鞠了一躬,说道:"天哪,我不是故意冒犯的.
听到她的话,林铭顿顿了片刻,然后淡淡一笑.他没想到这个女孩会对一个简单的问题做出这样的回答.
"没有必要害怕.你叫什么名字?林铭接着问道.
"伟大的上帝,我叫玲,"女孩回答道,用的是她自己选的名字.
在这个时代,大多数人都没有名字,玲也不例外.她选择它只是因为她喜欢"bell"这个词的发音.
"玲?大是玲,小是罗,一个美丽的名字.林铭的话让玲措手不及,她微微受宠若惊.她过去听说过的神灵遥远而难以接近,但她面前的这位神灵似乎具有一些人性.
林铭作为盒子内世界的统治者,可以听到一切——万物的声音——进入他的意识,包括所有生物的思想.玲的想法也不例外.
但林铭并不在意她的想法.事实上,他觉得她的看法相当准确.从某种意义上说,林铭只是一个拥有创造之力的凡人,仍然保留着他的大部分人性.
不得不说,玲的感知是敏锐的.仅仅几句话,她就已经感应到,林铭没有恶意.犹豫片刻后,玲开口请求道:"大神,请教我们.
林铭没有立即回答.沉默了很久,他用平静,低沉的声音说道,"我可以教你,但你能提供什么回报呢?
他的声音很平静,但又有一种力量,让玲对他既敬畏又奇怪.她知道她的回答会改变她的人生轨迹.
"我可以提供我所拥有的一切,无论是过去还是现在."
林铭听到她的话,没有任何情绪波动,回答道:"记住你的话.现在,这就是你想要的.
一道光柱从天而降,笼罩着凌.
时间似乎凝固了,玲被淹没在光海中.她周围的难民惊讶地叫了起来."这是什么?""这真是个奇迹!""众神的奇迹!"
光芒下,玲自己也迷茫不解."这就是知识——一种将改变世界的知识.闭上眼睛,好好记住,"林铭的声音再次传来.
Ling quickly shut her eyes. Then, she felt herself falling, as if sinking into an ocean filled with brilliant, dazzling light.
Ling descended deeper and deeper, surrounded by strange symbols and unfamiliar objects—iron houses that could walk, towering rectangles that reached the sky, people wearing cool clothing, moving paintings, roaring furnaces, and deadly weapons that could kill with a single press.
"Is this the dwelling place of the gods?" Ling was intoxicated by the sight, greedily absorbing all the knowledge.
It seemed like ages had passed, yet in the blink of an eye, she found herself back in the real world. She snapped her eyes open, and the knowledge given by the god was now firmly implanted in her mind.
At the same time, Ling suddenly felt something heavy fall upon her—something indescribable, a weight that was both burdensome and liberating.
She knew that while she had gained what she sought, she had also lost something.
Ling didn't understand what it was that had fallen upon her, but Lin Ming did.It was the "luck" of this world.Under Lin Ming's guidance, the fate of this era had settled upon the frail girl.
Lin Ming knew that this girl, named Ling, would change the course of the world inside the box. He was eager to see how she, having received nearly five thousand years of knowledge from Blue Star, would shape the civilization of this new world.
The seed had been planted; now it was just a matter of waiting for it to blossom.
Having completed this task, Lin Ming was about to sever his connection with Ling when an unexpected thought crossed his mind.He wanted to know what Ling saw when she looked at him.
"What do you see in me?" Lin Ming asked.
Ling didn't understand why a god so high above would ask such a question, but she answered truthfully:"You are a giant, a being draped in stars, holding billions of stars in your hands, constantly changing shapes."
A giant clothed in starlight?
After receiving her answer, Lin Ming cut the connection with Ling and handed over the "helm" of the world inside the box to her.
It was at this moment that Lin Ming suddenly realized something: the flow of time inside the world had sped up.
He quickly understood that while he was connected with Ling, the time inside the box had synchronized with the time in his own world. But once the connection was severed, time began to diverge again.
And with that, Lin Ming was able to witness the sweeping journey of Ling's life in a short span of time.
Thanks to the miracle that had occurred, Ling quickly gained the respect of the refugees. Using the knowledge in her mind, she helped them survive the harsh winter and settle into the land. They called this place the "Land of Divine Descent," the place where the miracle had occurred.
Furthermore, Ling declared the year of the miracle to be "Year One of the Divine Descent."
To them, Lin Ming was the only god to ever manifest a miracle in the world.
Because the miracle had descended in the form of a strange beam of light, they believed Lin Ming to be the God of Light.
They called themselves the "Divine Servants," building a great temple to Lin Ming—the "Temple of Light"—and crowned Ling as the first "Goddess."
A thousand and one years after humanity's birth of wisdom, under the guidance of the gods, humanity finally began to write the epic of mortals and gods.
