Broken Starry Sky is a wonderful and bizarre world, with many intelligent races and powerful upper creatures. These indigenous races have formed a variety of completely different civilizations on some giant suspended continents.
According to the recollection of the Great Elder Goblin, when he was young, he had been to many floating continents. During the adventure, I have seen a variety of racial civilizations. Among these civilizations are mechanical life forms similar to Transformers, magical worlds similar to Azeroth, and even the picturesque oriental fairyland.
All kinds of civilizations converge in the broken starry sky, which looks like the creator's experimental field. However, in the words of the Great Elder Goblin, this is more like a garbage dump abandoned by the Creator God. Because the intelligent race in the Broken Starry Sky has never felt the favor of the gods, there are only disputes and turmoil among the civilizations of the major races.
The suspended continent in the Broken Starry Sky is not eternal, and also has its own life cycle. Suspended continents as small as islands and reefs generally only have a lifespan of thousands of years, while some suspended continents as large as planets have a decay cycle of hundreds of millions of years.
Every once in a while, some suspended continents will disintegrate, turn into dust, and disappear into the boundless starry sky. And some suspended continents will slowly condense cores in the starry sky, and grow rapidly, gradually becoming a new suspended continent.
Although the position of the suspended continent in the broken starry sky is constant, and it will not collide with other continents, due to the limited resources, trade and war have to be carried out between the suspended continents. In fact, this is also the root cause of most of the world-ending disasters in the Broken Starry Sky.
When the intelligent race of a certain suspended continent is ready to invade another continent, they will carry out continental teleportation through the unique starry sky gate in the broken starry sky. This kind of teleportation is not a time-space teleportation, it is limited to the inner space of the broken starry sky, regardless of the distance and type, the only limitation is the size of the starry sky gate.
A small starry sky gate can only transmit individual lives, while a large starry sky gate can transport a whole city fortress to other suspended continents.
"So, those powerful upper races, immortals, gods, Buddhas, and angel dragons in the broken starry sky are the top of the racial pyramid?" Lily couldn't help being curious, and interrupted the elder Goblin's narration. , Immediately his face turned pale.
However, the murderers here obviously wanted to know the answer, so no one paid any attention to him for a while.
"No, those high-ranking creatures are basically in a state of seclusion and will not show up easily. The races that dominate the Broken Starry Sky are those intelligent races that are not very powerful, but have a large population and great potential. For example: humans, elves, Orcs, dwarves, undead, mechanical life, elemental creatures, etc.!"
The Elder Goblin changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and said with a weird expression, "Actually, this situation has a lot to do with you time travelers..."
Everyone's eyes lit up slightly, anticipating that the next topic of the Great Elder Goblin would reveal why the "Lulu Clan" valued the time traveler.
It turns out that the suspended continent in the broken starry sky not only has an internal starry sky gate, but also an unpredictable time-space portal. From time to time, there will be some beings from different time and space who are absorbed into the Broken Starry Sky by the time-space portal.
Different from the native creatures in the broken starry sky, as long as these different time and space beings successfully pass through the time-space portal, they will combine with the world laws of the broken starry sky to form a unique legal body with the soul as the core.
The body of the traverser is no different from a normal person at the beginning, and he will get sick, bleed, and even die from injury. However, due to the particularity of the law body, the traverser has almost unlimited potential. Some powerful traversers can destroy the world, and their combat power is comparable to gods and demons. Even if the vital organs of the body such as the brain and heart are severely injured, they will not die immediately.
However, the traversers are not the natives of the Broken Starry Sky after all, they will be rejected by the Broken Starry Sky all the time. This kind of repulsion will become stronger and stronger as time goes by, so, every once in a while, these traversers will be sent to other worlds by the Broken Starry Sky.
This kind of space-time teleportation is very random, and no one knows where the traverser will be teleported. Every time the space-time teleportation, some alien missions will appear in the minds of the traversers, and even they themselves do not know the source and motivation of these missions.
If the task cannot be completed, the soul of the traverser will become weaker and weaker, eventually leading to death. Most of the traversers will die in these alien missions, but as long as they complete the missions in their minds before retransmitting back to the Broken Starry Sky, they will get huge benefits.
It's as if Broken Starry Sky signed an employment contract with the traversers, one party contributes to complete the task dispatch, and the other endows them with life and abilities. Therefore, the space-time traveler is also called the apostle of the contract by the indigenous life of the broken starry sky.
The apostles are in various dangers all year round, and all mature apostles possess extremely powerful combat effectiveness. Certain gifted apostles will become existences comparable to gods and demons in just a few years. Moreover, because they still have all kinds of weapons and equipment obtained from other worlds, and their legal bodies have almost no fatal weaknesses, so even gods and demons are unwilling to fight against the apostles.
In the ancient times of the Shattered Starry Sky, it was precisely because of the appearance of many apostles that the dominant creatures fell one after another, and even some of the upper races were completely exterminated, so they had to choose to live in seclusion and no longer appear in front of people. In the eyes of the apostles, these high-level creatures are like walking treasures. They are happy to use the inheritance of gods and demons to provide themselves with an extra insurance when performing missions in other worlds.
That period is also known as the end of the gods and demons. The top layer of the pyramid of Broken Starry Sky was completely cut off by the apostles, and Broken Starry Sky entered a new era of war for hegemony. Some intelligent races with a large population and weak individual strength began to rise and became the new masters of the broken starry sky.
The influence of the apostles on the Broken Starry Sky doesn't stop there. Their energy and focus are on adventure missions in other worlds. For them, the Broken Starry Sky is just a transitional place for rest and adjustment. In addition, due to the mission, the relationship between each other is intricate, including alliances and hostility, so it is impossible for them to become the actual rulers of the Broken Starry Sky.
However, those intelligent races that occupy a dominant position cannot ignore the power of the apostles. Unlike gods and demons, they have no hunting value per se, but they can hire apostles to attack enemy races and hostile continents.
Two suspended continents with similar power, and two intelligent races with similar military strength, once a war breaks out, the apostle team they have may become the key to the outcome of the war. Even some small races have won a wider living space for themselves because they hired powerful apostle teams and defeated powerful opponents in the war.
From the demise of gods and demons in ancient times to the current continental hegemony, all intelligent races in the Broken Starry Sky have begun to follow an iron law. That is, neither can the survival of the race completely depend on the apostles, nor can they lose the help of the apostles.
The reason is very simple, due to the existence of the space-time portal, the apostles cannot be exterminated from the root. But once they completely rely on certain specific apostle teams, when these apostles suffer heavy losses in foreign world missions, they will lose the initiative in war.
This weird and nonsensical phenomenon prompted the Shattered Starry Sky to give birth to a special thing. That is the floating city built by certain intelligent races by concentrating all their resources.
These huge cities have different power sources due to different civilizations, but they can all move freely on the suspended continent. At the same time, it is also possible to use the star gate to teleport between various suspended continents. It is not only the survival foundation of the intelligent race, but also a special place to serve the apostles.
The intelligent race with this kind of floating city can not only rely on the city to greatly enhance its survivability, but also continuously attract apostles to settle in. There is no need to worry about suddenly losing the combat power of the apostle team during the war.
Floating cities are big and small, of all kinds, and of all types. It is distinguished by different civilizations, including technological cities, magical cities, biochemical cities, supernatural cities, and so on. According to the types of services provided by the cities to the apostles, there are academy cities, entertainment cities, commercial cities, war fortresses, and so on.
No matter what kind of city it is, the apostles who settle in are treated very politely. In addition to some basic benefits, a set of service regulations will be specially formulated for the apostles. These service regulations basically follow the principle of equivalent exchange. After all, not every apostle will become an existence comparable to gods and demons, and most apostles will perish in foreign world missions.
In order to snatch the resources of the apostles, the floating cities will regularly travel to and from various suspended continents. Today, intelligent races without floating cities will either slowly perish, or become subordinates of other races. The number and size of floating cities has become the only criterion for distinguishing the prosperity of intelligent races and suspended continents.
It is strange that space-time portals rarely appear on large suspended continents with large populations and races. On the contrary, small and medium-sized suspended continents like Red Gobi, which are sparsely populated and barren, often have time-space portals and time-travelers, that is, preparation apostles.
There is no strong force to prepare the apostles, but the icing on the cake is not as good as the timely assistance. The floating city provided some help when they were weakest. Then these apostles will naturally return to the floating city that helped them after they become stronger.
It can be said that the more potential apostles recruited, the greater the potential of the floating city. Of course, floating cities are huge monsters, although they can move in the air and travel between various suspended continents. But it's impossible to be like ants, looking everywhere for the prepared apostles who don't know when they will appear.
Therefore, in some remote, small and medium-sized suspended continents similar to the Red Gobi, some "scavenger" tribes that specialize in searching for relics of time and space teleportation were born.
For example: the Lulu clan in front of the human prisoners!
