Deep space observations are still continuing, and the golden world light spots in the void model continue to increase. However, the energy reserves of the Holy Mountain Fortress and the Void Observatory appear to be somewhat insufficient in the increasingly wide range of continuous observations.
As the magic runes on the surface of the Void Observatory, which glowed with faint blue light, turned to red, representing 'crisis', the outermost circle of holy light shields against the surrounding time and space turbulence of the Holy Mountain Fortress also became dim. At this time, The huge deep space observation array has almost expanded to its limit. It embraces an entire world of galaxies and reproduces its model reflection in the center.
Although there are other galaxies beyond the galaxy, they are not detectable by the Mycroft civilization today.
There is no doubt that the results of this observation were extremely successful. The three major forces joined forces to directly scan the world galaxy where Mycrov's world is located. As the sentinel array located on the outer layer of Mycrov's world will be integrated, By sending information, they can even directly know whether there is a life response in any world - an ordinary golden light spot is a world without life, and if there is an obvious red light pattern around the light spot, it means there is life in it.
However, the observation results presented subsequently made all the researchers present frown, and then felt a chill in their hearts.
"impossible!"
In the Void Observatory, Tamara Moore, the vice president of the Royal Mage Association, who came in place of Nostradamus, subconsciously pulled out one of his beards after seeing the observation results, but he had no time to regret himself The increasingly sparse beard and hair, on the contrary, opened his eyes wide and whispered angrily: "How is it possible? How come there are so few?!"
Except for him, no mage in the Void Observatory made a sound. They all fell into deathly silence. On the other side of the void, the same was true in the Holy Mountain Fortress. Many priests stared blankly. Looking at the void model flashing in the light curtain in front of him, he suspected that he might have seen something wrong.
But they were right, that was the fact.
In the world of Nuoda, there is almost no life world except around Mycroft.
A huge void model rotates in front of everyone's eyes, and millions or even more world light points are densely arranged to look like a galaxy. However, among these worlds, there are very few worlds with life responses, and even if there are , it is just a faint red streak, which is an 'environment that may contain life'.
Except for the bright red light in Mycroft's world, the other worlds are all shining with dazzling golden light. However, this golden light does not give everyone a warm feeling. Instead, it makes people feel inexplicably cold, because even the world's galaxy In the abyss on the other side, there are more flashing red lights than in the galaxy.
"... It's ridiculous. In a normal multiverse, the number of lives is actually less than the abyss that serves as a cemetery?"
"What a joke!"
This was an indignant statement made by a holy priest of the Holy Mountain when he was talking to himself, but no matter how subtle the voice was, it could not be hidden from the two legendary powerhouses present.
In the central control room of the Holy Mountain Fortress, Pope Eagle looked at the light curtain in front of him with a solemn face. He originally planned to communicate with Joshua about the Void Vortex, but now, his attention is Moved by the results of this deep space observation.
"So few? It's unbelievable... You have obviously encountered several intelligent civilizations around the world of Kronos."
The old pope seemed to have doubts about this result. He frowned and said to Joshua beside him: "I still remember that last time you reported those alien civilizations with the ability to travel through the void... I originally thought they were... There are quite a few, is it possible that there are only a few, but they happen to happen?”
"Your Majesty, the world of Kronos is located on the 500th floor of the abyss. The reason why those civilizations go there is for the creation power of the ancient dragon."
Although Joshua was also a little confused about this observation result, coming from the interstellar era, he didn't think there was anything strange about the 'empty and uninhabited' universe model, so he calmly replied: "Civilizations that need the power of creation , it means that their world is almost the same as the abyss, or in other words, they are an abyss civilization that has not degenerated into a 'demon', and they are not in the world galaxy at all."
"Really... I really never thought that the multiverse would be so empty... "
Eagle's expression was slightly disappointed, but after a moment, the old pope sighed, and then announced to everyone present that the deep space observation operation was successfully concluded, and reiterated that the void model is a Class A secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world without permission. Give way. He sent away several other high-level clergy who looked a little dazed beside him, and comforted them with a few words, encouraging them to continue their struggle and not to worry too much about the results of this observation.
Finally, Eagle, who had almost done everything, motioned for Joshua to follow him, and the warrior followed him to a simple small room in the Holy Mountain Fortress.
"This was originally a storage room, but later it became vacant because there were not so many supplies to store... The void battleship has a small space and life is difficult. I hope you, a great nobleman of the empire, don't mind it."
The old pope personally carried a chair for Joshua, and Joshua casually patted the ashes on it after thanking him, and the two sat down opposite each other in the room without any fuss - until then, Iger Ercai showed a tired look and said with a wry smile: "Well, although I did not conduct this deep space observation operation really to find traces of the existence of other intelligent civilizations, this result was unexpected."
There are millions of worlds, but in the end there are no more than fifty light spots with obvious life responses, and maybe half of them are pure wilderness planes, rather than worlds with intelligent civilization... How can such a result be allowed? People are not sad
"With more intelligent civilizations, competition will be intense. When the two meet, a war may break out over resources and borders. If there are fewer intelligent civilizations, competition will be smaller. If there is initial contact, there is a greater chance of peaceful negotiation."
The old pope talked nonchalantly, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to get deeper. He sighed again: "But if it is as small as it is now - then it is not a matter of negotiation. We want to go to the time and space of the other party. It takes a long time to cross the boundary, and it even has to cross a long world void. There is an almost insurmountable distance between civilizations... This makes me feel extremely lonely. We, Mrs. Mike Rowe, seem to be in the multiverse. It’s an isolated island with no other competitors, let alone companions.”
"Don't worry too much. To be honest, there are many conditions required for the birth of life. It is unlikely that primitive life will develop into civilization. After all, wisdom is not a necessary condition for the reproduction and growth of life. Only a small number of races, such as humans, are lucky. Hold it."
Joshua looked at the other party's worried look and comforted him: "In the final analysis, the galaxy we are in is gradually falling into the abyss. It is located at the edge of the multiverse. It is normal for there to be few living worlds - and... Maybe they all have the ability to hide their own world, and they are not scanned by us."
"...You don't understand the seriousness of the matter."
Listening to Joshua's words didn't sound like comfort at all, but instead sounded like a blow. Eagle couldn't help but frown, feeling worried about the warrior's emotional intelligence. But precisely because of this, most of the sorrow in his heart disappeared. , the old pope raised his head, looked at the warrior, and said in a deep voice: "In a few decades, the evil god will return to this world galaxy along with the great demonic tide. If there are not many civilizations here and the strength is not strong, how can we Looking for allies?”
At this point, Eagle paused. He seemed to realize that there was no one around but Joshua, and then he continued to speak smoothly: "How can they be used as a 'means' to delay the evil god's advance?"
This sentence is too straightforward.
However, the two people present did not care about this. Joshua shook his head slightly and said: "Rather than relying on 'allies' or using other civilizations as bait to delay, it is better to think about how to strengthen your own strength. After all, allies are also possible You have too much time to take care of yourself, and the bait is only a temporary measure, how long can it delay? You know, it only takes a few days for the evil god to destroy a world that is defenseless."
As he said that, the warrior informed Eagle about the information he had about the 'Sanctuary Civilization'. Some of the information was told after he returned from the world of Kronos last time, and now what Joshua said, But it was his new discovery around the great whirlpool in the void.
"Before, didn't you ask me how I knew about the Void Vortex? In fact, I just came back from there."
Joshua raised his right hand and made a stroke in the void. Suddenly, a circle of light mist composed of the power of steel appeared in front of him, and the changes of these light mist actually formed an extremely detailed and similar to the previous observation. The exact same void model in the array! The warrior stretched the model and placed the vision next to the vortex energy structure in the center of the world's galaxy. He pointed at the center of the vortex and said: "To be precise, from a world located in the center of the void vortex, we solved the world there. Came back after the Troubles of Will.”
As the old pope listened solemnly and silently, Joshua roughly talked about his experiences and experiences in the world of Siberia, but what he emphasized was not the ability and power of Fatrolvi, but about the steel. The consequences of the crazy spread of authority and the existence of 'black mist'.
"The consequences of out-of-control extraordinary power are probably like this... And the black mist is the ultimate weapon of the Sanctuary civilization. Its owner is an ally of Mycroft's world in the Age of Glory. This civilization is also a powerful civilization with influence in many worlds-in this At one point, the world of Mycroft may even be inferior to the other world, because they have so many member worlds. There are nearly ten in the core world alone. It is extremely difficult to count the potential vassals. However, even such a large void civilization is still in the process of counting evil gods. destroyed under siege.”
Speaking of this, Joshua couldn't help but look at the empty darkness across the world's galaxy. He shook his head and said: "I originally thought that the Void Vortex should be the hundreds of years of entanglement between the strong men of the Sanctuary Civilization and the evil gods. It was caused by fighting, but now it seems that the hollow zone is too large, and there may be other reasons."
"The steel particles brought by the great demon tide can actually cause such a rapid awakening of extraordinary power? This really requires vigilance. Our current world has finally ushered in a period of peaceful rapid development, and there must be no chaos."
After listening to Joshua's words, Eagle let out a long breath and nodded with a heavy face: "And in this way, it can be explained that there are so few living worlds in this world galaxy. Most of them should have been destroyed by evil gods or fallen into the abyss in the last era, and what we see now should be a group of new races and civilizations."
"In fact, it is very likely that the black mist wiped out some of the nascent civilizations in order to hunt for resources."
Joshua touched his chin and said in a serious tone: "Rather than worrying about the fact that the world of life is extremely rare in the multiverse, the more important thing is to solve the troubles around you."
This reason can roughly explain the results of previous deep space observations, but the old pope still seems to have some questions - not about why Joshua went to the depths of the void to solve the world's will troubles, but about some of the problems that already existed Things feel troubling.
"Let's put aside the results of deep space observations and black fog for now. Joshua, you should know that a few months ago I wanted to ask you for help."
Leaning back slightly on the chair, Eagle's expression calmed down. He looked at Joshua and said slowly: "And that's exactly what I did for this deep space observation." .”
The soldier also sat on the chair. He remained silent, waiting for the other party to continue speaking. A few seconds later, the old pope, who seemed to be thinking about how to word his words, continued: "Joshua, do you know that today's Mycroft world is not Not complete?"
Of course Joshua knew, he nodded.
Compared with the Era of Glory, in the Era of Starfall today, the continent alone is missing several pieces. The boundless heaven that is part of the sky has only returned to its original place recently. Mycroft's world is not complete. This thing is so normal that it has become common knowledge among legendary strong men.
"And this matter is about a part of Mycroft that he once had but is now missing."
Eagle said calmly: "Established by all races in the Glorious Era, it is an independent half-plane wonder located above the continent of the West. It is an all-encompassing library - the unified information library."
Integrate a large information database
After hearing this word, Joshua nodded thoughtfully - but he did not have any information about this word in his mind. It exceeded the warrior's information reserve.
The old pope didn't pay attention to what Joshua was thinking. He reached out and moved aside the void model that Joshua had constructed before, and then he built a model of the Mycroft continent from the Glorious Era—this Joe. Xiuya was familiar with it. He had seen it in the memories of the Mist of God and the Earth Goddess. Then, Eagle pointed his finger at the entrance to a demiplane under the boundless heaven above the western part of the continent. He gestured Said: "This is where the unified information database used to be."
"It was once a database and library common to all races. Its contents were open to the vast majority of the people. The remaining small part was not open because it was too dangerous and could not be accessed by people without corresponding permissions... In that era, No race or genre will hide its technology, but will proudly open it to all people. Of course, the core content requires corresponding identity permissions and costs. After all, it is not realistic to be completely selfless."
Speaking of the unified big information library, Eagle's expression looked a little fascinated, but then his expression returned to normal. The old pope said with regret: "But unfortunately, in the final battle, the unified big information library Like the Boundless Heaven Realm, the library was forced to be expelled from the broken world of Mycroft. Unlike the larger Heaven Realm, which was guarded by many gods, the demiplane where the large information library was located was directly affected by the aftermath of the battle between sages, gods and evil gods. He was knocked away and has been missing since then."
"But some time ago, you found clues to the current location of this information library?"
Joshua nodded thoughtfully again. This time, he understood what the old pope meant: "You originally wanted to ask me, a person who often walks around in the void, to go to the corresponding place to check the situation, but... It was discovered that I had left, and even if I came back, I would still be in a state of transformation and unable to wake up for the time being, so I conducted a large-scale deep space observation to investigate."
"That's right."
Eagle nodded crisply. He stood up from his chair and came to the window of this narrow room. The old pope looked into the chaotic void and said seriously: "The existence of the unified information library is in the classics of the Holy Mountain. There have always been records, and the popes of all generations have been thinking about this giant data center that is rumored to record almost all the knowledge of the Glorious Era. If we have him, our civilization will be equivalent to a shortcut and will develop rapidly."
When he got here, Eagle raised his head slightly and chuckled: "It's not that I'm boasting - my strength is the strongest among all the popes in the past, but I deliberately deduced it and used the Eye of the Saint as the basis for monitoring. If so, it’s only a matter of time before we find clues from the big information database.”
In this regard, Joshua also nodded with deep understanding - as for the words that civilization should not take shortcuts and cannot go back to the old path of the Glorious Era, it is essentially meaningless empty talk, because the Starfall Era is essentially a society. The form is completely different from the last era. It has its own set of cognitive rules for magic, fighting spirit, and various extraordinary powers. Even the database of the last era cannot affect the shape of an already formed civilization. A large amount of proven data can allow many researchers to reduce meaningless testing time.
As for the old pope's boast... No, he is telling the truth, and there is indeed no problem, because according to him, the trajectory of the large information database being shot away has been recorded. If the surrounding world coordinates do not change significantly, then it will be found Its clue is indeed a matter of time. Unfortunately, what Eagle lacks most is time.
"Then what? Did you find the big information database?"
Joshua asked: "Could it be near the whirlpool in the void?"
In response, Eagle nodded, then shook his head: "Probably, I guess, I don't know."
Then, he continued: "Some time ago, on the day I invited you to help, the Holy Mountain Fortress intercepted a message from the depths of the void. It was sent by the remaining guardians of the unified information library. They came from They survived the aftermath of the battle and have multiplied to this day... But now, their situation is very bad, the material cycle within the information library has collapsed, that communication should be the last words, I doubt they can survive for long. "
Having said this, the old pope took a deep breath, with some unbearable expression on his face, but he still said coldly: "To be honest, those defenders are worthy of respect, but it doesn't matter whether they died or not. Our most important thing is The important goal is to find the location of the large information database. The countless information and data stored in it are truly priceless treasures - so I did not launch a rescue operation hastily, but have been searching the surrounding void to avoid wasting resources in vain.
"Now, I can roughly confirm that it should be located near the great whirlpool of the void you mentioned, or in other words, next to the 'dark' world hollow belt, because the demiplane where the information database is located does not have any starlight."
This is the right choice. Compared with those respected guardians, the database itself is the most important thing. We cannot be careless and we must not act rashly.
When Joshua heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. He also stood up and stood by the window with the old pope.
After a moment of silence, he said: "What can I do? Also, if you really want to patrol the world around the maelstrom, then you must get rid of the remaining black mist of the shelter civilization. Their headquarters is located in There, it is impossible to sit back and watch our actions.”
"I know that."
Eagle touched his beard. He looked into the void, as if staring at the worlds beyond. Then, the old pope whispered: "Joshua... you can talk freely with the Steel Pythons, right?" "
"indeed so."
Joshua nodded slightly, acknowledging this. As if confirming something, Eagle continued: "You also know many Steel Pythons, right?"
"That's right."
Joshua said this, and when he was about to continue to say, 'But actually there are not many, just a few,' the old pope's voice sounded again: "Well, since they can entrust you to help them solve their problems."
Eagle turned his head, looked at the warrior with piercing eyes, and said in the most serious voice: "Can you also entrust them to help us find the whereabouts of the 'Big Information Database'?"
This is the real purpose of Eagle - Joshua is the only being in the history of Mycroft's world who is acquainted with many world wills. He does not need to personally take action every time. In fact, his words are very important. Possibly better than a thousand aimless searches.
Of course, neither the Church of the Seven Gods nor other forces will let you pay the price alone. No matter what payment the Steel Python needs, we will bear it together. You only need to be the intermediary between us and the Steel Python. We will even pay an extra reward... Eagle originally wanted to tell the warrior that he was willing to pay any price in order to unify the large information database and the entire civilization.
But before he could speak, Joshua's voice sounded crisply.
"OK."
Just like promising to go out for a meal and drink with a friend, the soldier agreed easily: "No problem, this matter is not difficult - but I can't guarantee whether it can be solved as soon as possible."
Seeing the slight change in Eagle's expression, Joshua naturally understood what the other person wanted to say. In response, he just shrugged: "It concerns the entire civilization, why bother talking about remuneration when it is so clearly divided... After all, according to my Understand, those world wills may not care about such small things, just remember to say thank you."
He joked quite humorously: "You know, I spent a lot of effort to help the world of Siberia solve its troubles this time, but it didn't even say thank you."
"Ah... um."
On the side, Eagle, who had planned a lot of words, responded softly. He could not say anything and had nothing to say about it. He just showed a happy smile. The old pope raised his hand and patted Qiao Xiu hard. Joshua's shoulders - Joshua is almost a head taller than the old pope, so this action is indeed a bit strenuous.
"Thank you." He said softly.
Soon, Joshua left the Holy Mountain Fortress in the void and followed the portal back to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Ground. But before the warrior could make plans to get up and go to the world of Kallis to contact the Steel Python, something quite surprising happened. Nervous emergencies disrupted his plans.
Lisa Kronos, a dragon girl from the world of Kronos and a student of the warrior, suddenly fell into a coma in the camp of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice.
It’s the last day of the month. Please ask for tomorrow’s monthly ticket.
