Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 307: Human’s Clue

For many years, in the occasional moments of leisure amidst his busy schedule, Tom has been troubled by one question.

Who am I?

This question may seem a bit too philosophical, but for Tom, it is a very real and extremely important question.

Am I Tom? Am I human?

But there has never been a human civilization on Earth.

If I am not Tom, and not human, then who am I?

Where did I come from, and where am I going?

The identity of being human, and the experiences, memories, and beautiful moments of being human on Earth—father, mother, friends, teachers, colleagues, and so on—these memories and experiences constitute the basic elements of Tom as a person.

If everything in his memory is false, does not exist at all, and is merely something forcibly implanted into his mind by some super civilization for reasons he does not yet understand, then Tom’s mental world will collapse.

For many years, Tom dared not think deeply about this issue.

But now, the data provided by the mysterious and unpredictable super-civilization, Recorder Civilization, has given Tom an invaluable support.

Human Civilization truly existed! And it truly perished for some reason. The Earth without any trace of civilization was a disguise. I, Tom, am not any other being; I am just a human being, a real human being!

At that moment, the heavy stone that had weighed on Tom’s heart for thousands of years suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, even breathing felt lighter than ever before for Tom.

At this moment, Tom’s mind was clear, and there was no more hesitation or doubt in his heart.

Having clarified where he came from, what he needed to do next, and where he was going, Tom was quite certain of his goals.

Investigate the truth behind the demise of Human Civilization! Avenge Human Civilization!

If there are any surviving human beings, then no matter what the cost, we must save them from their suffering. In the future, we must rebuild human civilization!

While continuing the interrogation of Heimerlan and other Viller People, gathering all possible valuable intelligence, Tom began to think about something else.

It doesn’t matter what the identity, purpose, or how this Recorder Civilization member managed to gather so much intelligence on the Milky Way.

The important thing is the mechanism of Recorder Civilization.

They most likely know the truth about the demise of Human Civilization.

In that case... could I find some information to exchange with them?

The "Milky Way List of Extinct Civilizations" from Recorder Civilization is updated regularly. Every so often, they broadcast a list of civilizations that have perished during that period.

After reviewing the records, Tom found no mention of the extinction of the Black Mountain Civilization or the Havilah Civilization.

So... this could perhaps be considered intelligence.

Having determined this, Tom began to think about the next question.

In what capacity should I approach Recorder Civilization?

Clearly, it couldn’t be done in the name of Human Civilization. Even if the intelligence itself was of high value, Tom knew from the experience of Havilah Civilization that suddenly revealing his identity could lead to trouble.

That leaves only one option.

Bluetoth Civilization.

"Contact Recorder Civilization under the guise of Bluetoth Civilization!"

At this moment, my quantum mathematics has not yet developed to the corresponding stage, so I cannot communicate directly with the Recorder Civilization. However, that’s alright; the long-range communication equipment captured from the Havilah Civilization can handle this task.

After a thorough inspection, Bluetoth Clan Leader Momolansi arrived at the heavily monitored communications room.

Clan Leader Momolansi is several thousand years old this year. Over the years, he has diligently managed everything in the Bluetoth Clan and has earned Tom’s trust.

That is why Tom spared no expense to continuously optimize his genes and extend his lifespan through biological means.

Given the current level of biotechnology, Tom could easily live for tens of thousands more years if he wanted to. And who knows how advanced his biotechnology will be in those ten thousand years, perhaps even with new methods to extend lifespan?

Clan Leader Momolansi looked serious as he faced the long-range communication device from Havilah Civilization.

"Respected Recorder Civilization, I am the leader of Bluetoth Civilization, Clan Leader Momolansi. Our civilization has some information we would like to provide to your civilization."

A moment later, a message was transmitted to the long-range communication device in a way that Tom did not yet know the principle behind. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Your Excellency, greetings. Recorder Civilization welcomes intelligence from any force or entity.

We are dedicated to documenting everything that happens within the Milky Way area.

Please inform me of your information."

"Our Bluetoth Civilization was promoted to a Strong Nuclear Civilization thousands of years ago. Then, by chance, we encountered the Havilah Civilization, which is also a Strong Nuclear Civilization, as well as the Mechanical Disaster and Black Mountain Civilization, both of which are Strong Nuclear level.

After a fierce battle, we defeated and annihilated both civilizations.

These two civilizations have been removed from the Milky Way.

This is the evidence."

Some carefully edited information, which would not expose any of Tom’s secrets, but could truly prove that the two major civilization alliances had been defeated and annihilated by their own side, was transmitted.

"We will verify this intelligence. If it is found to be falsified, your civilization will be subject to some punishment.

However, we at Recorder Civilization believe in the sincerity of any civilization. We’ve recorded this information for now.

Now, may I ask you, what do you and your civilization wish to exchange for?"

Tom narrowed his eyes slightly.

Verify?

It’s unclear what verification method Recorder Civilization will use. However, based on Havilah Civilization’s previous communications with Recorder Civilization, this verification is unlikely to have any impact on the intelligence provider.

Otherwise, which other civilizations would proactively provide them with intelligence?

The risks should be kept within a controllable range.

With Tom’s permission, Clan Leader Momolansi continued solemnly: "In the list of extinct civilizations you provided for the Milky Way, civilization number 11544, Human Civilization, has perished.

We want to exchange information about the truth behind the demise of Human Civilization."

After a somewhat anxious wait, Recorder Civilization finally responded.

"This is not enough."

As per the pre-arranged plan, Clan Leader Momolansi immediately said, "Then, exchange as many as you can."

"Given the unequal value between the two types of intelligence, the only thing we can tell you is..."

Three thousand years ago, a group of survivors of the Human Civilization appeared in the Purple Moon Civilization.

Their situation doesn’t seem good; their status within the Purple Moon Civilization appears to be that of pets and exotic animals.
