In the Yunding venue, when they heard the words of "Taihe", all the sandbox powerhouses present were fine, but the representatives of warriors from various countries were already overwhelmed by this series of messages.
At first, it was said that not only were there different civilizations in the black boxes within the observation range, but even Mars had been covered.
Then, it is said that "human beings" from other star fields in the universe sneaked into the earth silently and were discovered.
Now, this mysterious person who calls himself "Taihe", the strong man who has dominated a series of changes in the past period and affected the whole world, claims that he has gone to the place where the other party is.
It also brought back the video record of the journey.
Any one of these, if taken out, is enough to cause a huge sensation, let alone follow one after another.
However, Lin Tuo obviously didn't want to discuss with them. After finishing speaking, he immediately clicked "Play" on the record arranged by Hathaway.
In the center of the conference table arranged in a circle, in the illusory spirit world, the search ship started to drive. Lin Tuo occasionally explained a few words, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The critical voyage is tedious. Of course, it is impossible to watch the whole journey, and the final choice is just to broadcast a cutscene.
In the meantime, the paragraph about Pale Planet, because it does not involve the theme of the meeting, neither the time of going nor the experience of returning has been entered.
Not only that, the process of seeing and hearing several people in the empire has also been edited, mainly presenting all aspects of strange civilized society from Hathaway's perspective.
"Through some special means, it took us about a month to arrive at a planet in the territory of that strange empire civilization, Ueno."
"You can understand it as a sub-administrative region under the jurisdiction of the country. Ueno is on the edge of the empire, and its supreme ruler is the 'Governor of Ueno'..."
The 3D projection-like pictures are constantly changing, switching to each scene, and with Lin Tuo's explanation, the appearance of the Ueno Star District is gradually constructed in the minds of the participants.
Lin Tuo also interspersed some details in the narration, which undoubtedly enhanced the sense of reality.
When people saw the battle in Night City, they were amazed at the social status of extraterrestrial civilizations.
When they know that the whole city is actually just an area similar to the main paradise, this kind of surprise turns into shock.
When they gradually understood the structure of the imperial society through the images and Lin Tuo's explanation... their emotions turned from curiosity to contemplation.
when…
In the center of the conference table, the light and shadow kept changing, and finally, the record came to the last scene.
The exploding military base, the densely packed aircraft covering the sky like those in a sci-fi movie, the network covering almost the entire planet lit up, and a tall and unimaginably tall "Giant of Light" appeared...
Many people were so tense that it was difficult to breathe.
Until the light and shadow suddenly ended, all the images disappeared, and even the sound of "breathing" disappeared in the entire meeting space.
Every participant's face was full of shock.
silence.
There was silence.
It was amazed with the Ueno star field itself.
Some people gradually became worried.
Someone looked at Lin Tuo who was at the top, thinking that the blurred figure in the picture just now was right in front of them, and they were in awe of his terrifying power.
"This..." In the seat, Qing Kong and the Sesai couple looked at each other.
These are things they didn't know.
After all, engineers such as Modo never left the aircraft.
Dean Qiu, who was wearing a robe, looked at the calm Mount Sinai together with General Trudeau, with complicated emotions.
Huaxi raised his eyebrows and glanced at everyone present, not knowing what he was thinking.
"My lord, so the result of your investigation is..." Lu Yan, who was sitting next to Li Tai, tried to ask.
Lin Tuo was silent for a while, and then everyone heard his sigh:
"As revealed by the 'Gods', the catastrophe is approaching, and the Ueno star region will soon arrive in the solar system. I don't know their true intentions yet, but I have already clearly understood what they are going to do."
A representative present turned pale: "They want to destroy..."
Lin Tuo nodded: "Yes. They want to destroy our world, wipe out everyone here, and all life."
Wow—
Although the groundwork had already been laid, until Lin Tuo said the information himself, the entire venue was still in an uproar.
This time, except for those who knew it earlier, most of the participants were disturbed by the content of this "disaster".
destroy!
The destruction of a mighty civilization from far away!
All of this is so sudden.
How unreal.
If it is not "Taihe" who said this sentence.
If everyone present had not seen Ueno with their own eyes.
Hardly anyone would believe it.
For a moment, the representatives of various countries were in an uproar. Some people couldn't help standing up, and even the clouds and mist floating around trembled.
"Why... why?" A representative lost his voice.
Lin Tuo said calmly: "I want to know this too, but do you think the farmer will tell it why when slaughtering the livestock?"
This metaphor somewhat does not conform to the style of "Taihe", but it is simple and easy to understand!
The representative was speechless.
Yes, for higher civilizations, do you need to explain the reason for destroying you
Even though the two sides are strikingly similar in appearance.
But that doesn't change anything either.
It can be to plunder resources, it can be to eradicate the enemy in advance, or it can be a certain need for the development of the other party...
But now, with the enemy at hand, it seems somewhat ridiculous to entangle the so-called "reasons".
Fortunately, those who can participate in this meeting are the elites of their respective worlds.
The panic only lasted for a while before everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
"So, the purpose of your meeting today is to inform us about this matter? And to discuss, how to resist?" A representative said calmly.
A bunch of eyes followed.
At this time, the foreshadowing was also laid, the main topic was thrown out, and everyone present was aware of the topic of this summit.
Lin Tuo was silent for a while, nodded, shook his head again, and then said under the confused eyes of the people: "The purpose of calling you here today is indeed to inform in advance. As for resistance, there is no need for much discussion."
"What do you mean?" Another representative said in astonishment.
"Literally," Lin Tuo said in a deep voice, "I don't think that with our current strength, we can resist the opponent."
The representative opened his mouth: "But you in the picture just now..."
"I can't stop it," Lin Tuo interrupted him mercilessly, "Perhaps, the picture just now has misunderstood some people, thinking that I and the powerful monks can fight the opponent head-on, but the real situation is not the case...
I can't use similar attacks a few times.
Otherwise, there is no need for me to return in a hurry.
What's more, even if I can delay it alone, when the opponent's large force comes, those warships will appear in any corner of the world where you live at any time!
No sound, no notice!
Even, with their abilities, they can carry out long-range strikes outside the planet... "
Lin Tuo expressed his analysis on the strength comparison between the two sides in one breath.
And every time he said a word, the hearts of everyone present sank a little more.
When Lin Tuo finished narrating in one breath, almost everyone's hearts fell to the bottom of the valley.
silence.
Deathly silence.
Mount Sinai closed her eyes.
Pei Ming froze when he grabbed his beard.
The tall figure of the orc patriarch Creus lost the majesty of the past.
The representatives of various countries turned pale.
After a while, the Monarch of the Yaozu stared and said, "So, we can only wait for death?"
This result was too unacceptable for him.
As the king of the monster clan, he couldn't accept that the thriving clan in his eyes would be destroyed by a group of people who didn't know where they came from and drove a weird "boat".
Representatives of various countries also find it difficult to accept that the lifespan of the prosperous world in which they live is numbered.
Someone wants to say something.
But even the powerful "Taihe" has made such a judgment, so what can they say
But, is it possible that you came here today full of longing, just to hear the news of the death
In silence, Lin Tuo looked around the venue, feeling that it was almost done, and cast a vague glance at Huaxi.
The latter's crisp voice sounded immediately:
"Master, is there a way for the 'Gods'?"
God
Hearing this word, the representatives of various countries did not respond, and the representatives of the two sandboxes No. 5 and No. 3 instantly ignited hope.
Yes, gods!
Compared with other walks of life, No. 5 and No. 3 lived in a relatively backward era, so they feared the gods more and more.
The No. 3 sandbox is a little better, and the belief in "Haotian" is closer to the awe of the unpredictable way of power and destiny.
As for number five, due to the addition of the power of faith, the worship of "gods" can be said to be the deepest.
Although "angels" claim to be irresistible.
But what about the inhuman gods
Sensing a bunch of gazes, Lin Tuo said with a calm expression:
"This is another reason why I summoned you today.
In my opinion, for the current plan, only the power of the gods can be used to resolve this catastrophe, and I have also obtained a ray of hope from the communication with the gods... "
Everyone's breathing was slightly rapid.
Then Lin Tuo continued:
"I don't know what the god is, but I know that it is in a special state, and the power I can use is limited, so I must use some external force to leverage more divine power as soon as possible."
"External force?" A representative asked in confusion.
Lin Tuo nodded slightly, then glanced at him, and said, "You should still remember the wish that appeared on the spiritual net not long ago."
"Yes, that was an attempt. It's just that it was just a taste at the beginning. I originally thought that I would follow the oracle and slowly promote all walks of life. It's a pity that the situation is urgent now..."
"What method is it?" Lu Yan asked.
Lin Tuo paused, then changed the topic suddenly, and said, "Have you noticed that there was a term called contribution points in that video just now?"
Contribution points
"Seems to be a credit currency of that civilization," said one representative.
Lin Tuo nodded:
"That's right. It's a currency different from what you know, so I won't go into details about the complexity.
People in the Ueno star area can obtain contribution points in various ways, and one of them is to contribute spirituality to collection stations scattered around the country, which is also one of the origins of the term contribution points. "
As he said that, Lin Tuo felt a little emotional.
This is indeed one of the information he learned from the Ueno star area.
In the Ueno Star District, in each urban area, near the material converter, there will be a "spiritual collection station", where official residents of the empire can go there and contribute their spirituality in a specific way to obtain contribution point rewards.
Somewhat similar to "blood" in form.
On earth, people can sell their blood and exchange it for money.
In the empire, what people sell becomes their own spirituality.
Everyone stipulates that within a certain period, the "spirituality" sold should not exceed a certain limit, so as to ensure health.
To put it bluntly, spirituality is the spiritual power of a person. After contributing, there will be mental exhaustion.
After learning this information, Lin Tuo immediately thought of the "base station" he built.
Aren't those base stations distributed in various temples similar to "collection stations"
The believers contribute their spirituality by praying the corresponding sentences, gather...absorb...the difference is that in the empire, this kind of spiritual collection is paid.
And Lin Tuo... has been whoring for nothing...
As for the purpose of the imperial people's collection, it is also very simple. In the final analysis, it is still used as an energy source to support the governor and maintain the operation of the entire society.
Now, the most urgent thing for Lin Tuo is to upgrade the sand table as soon as possible, so as to determine whether he has the ability to resist.
If you can block after upgrading, try it.
If not, he will not persist, and in the end, he may choose to escape.
And to upgrade the sand table, it is nothing more than providing ether and spirituality.
The former is fairly adequate.
The problem is with the latter.
In the case that the computing power is difficult to quickly accelerate the sandbox, the "power of faith" provided by the fifth world is limited.
In the Tianyuan Continent, although the belief in "Haotian Dao" is being spread, the speed cannot be that fast after all, and it is just taking shape.
In this case, he had no choice but to hit the earth.
Just like he used to think.
Seven billion people... the potential is huge enough.
At the beginning, a wishing activity revived the wishing candle overnight, which is evident.
After Hathaway became the "Lamp Fairy".
The control over the candle is further strengthened.
This also gave Lin Tuo's plan a basis for implementation.
What he wants to do is very simple, which is to reproduce the "Fantasy Night" again, and by asking people all over the world to make a wish, he can contribute his own spirituality without really hurting himself.
Thereby accelerating the recovery of the sand table.
And this is also the second purpose of convening the summit today.
The first purpose is to make everyone mentally prepared. Once there is a need in the future, they can cooperate with each other. Even if they can only lie flat in the end, they have the right to know anyway.
Not to die knowing nothing.
As for the second purpose, the main target is the representatives of all countries on the earth.
Lin Tuo knew that it would be difficult to reproduce the effect of the last Dream Night event if only through the spirit net. On the one hand, people know that wishes will not really come true.
On the other hand, what he needs is not just a large-scale wish on a certain night, but may last for many days.
In this case, it will be difficult to seduce through desire.
Not to mention, possible obstruction by governments.
On the contrary, if they can cooperate with themselves, carry out publicity, contribute spirituality, and accelerate the progress of the sand table upgrade, it will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort.
Wait for Lin Tuo to finish these descriptions.
At the Genting venue, there was once again a riot.
"So, can we understand that you want us to use national resources to let billions of people perform some kind of ceremony with unknown results according to the request of a person with unknown identity and intention like you?!"
Suddenly, a representative stood up and looked over with burning eyes.
The tone is a little aggressive, but also a little uneasy and angry.
The meeting place was suddenly quiet.
A bunch of eyes turned to the main seat of the venue.
Then, everyone saw Lin Tuo, who was dressed in white and covered his face, folded his hands and said calmly:
"Correct, it's not 'hope' but 'inform', not 'demand' but 'order'."
