Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 729: The ultimate of civilization

Views:

And just when Joshua really touched the distorted aperture, as always, the huge amount of information surged in with a momentum that seemed to overwhelm his will.

Just as a long time ago, warriors accepted the memories of the Evil God of Famine, the Evil God of Natural Disasters, the Evil God of Atmosphere and the Evil God of Plague, the violent information flow belonging to the Evil God of Abundance originates from the 'contact point' between the two, and is moving at an incredible speed. Speeding.

This is the memory of an ancient will that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years. If it were an ordinary legendary powerhouse, such as Joshua a year ago, he would undoubtedly be swallowed up by this memory and involuntarily fall into the illusion about the evil god. .

However, Joshua is no longer as powerless as before.

The substantive information turned into surging black mist, sweeping towards the warriors like a wave. This scene was seen by the natural teacher and Faina and others in the distance, and they were immediately shocked. They were located at the bottom of the Spring of Chaos. They had long known that it was the remains of the Evil God of Fertility, and why they were unwilling to take action against this source of chaos before was precisely because of this strange information guidance phenomenon.

The current Mycrov civilization has not even scratched the surface of the nature of the evil god, but many researchers know that as long as a transcendent comes into contact with the remaining power of the evil god, the soul's will will be washed away by the large amount of information contained in it. If it is not firm enough, They may even be washed away into a piece of white paper, which is considered lucky, because if they are unlucky, the person who comes into contact will even be directly washed into a member of the Evil God's family, and ordinary people are even more unbearable. They only need to take a look at the Evil God's true appearance. Even the descendants of the evil god will have their minds confused due to the influx of large amounts of information.

In the past, Joshua could not avoid it, but now, with a new thinking system and Symmetra as an aid, not only would he not be led into the illusion, but he could instead accept all this information.

Beside the warrior, countless tiny lights like stardust lit up. They were tiny clusters of steel. They spread rapidly until they formed a semicircle with a radius of three hundred meters. In this semicircle, up and down There are small clusters of steel every few millimeters on the left and right. Between each cluster of steel, there is an extremely bright flow of light. They form storage, control and operation devices, constantly flashing and glowing, swallowing terror. The flow of information vaguely seems to have some shadow of the nervous system.

But this system is too huge and fast, and the information network transmitted at the speed of light is operating with incredible efficiency.

The seemingly violent memory of the evil god came like a tsunami, and the black mist rushed into the steel cluster network around Joshua. It wanted to invade the warrior's mind, but for just a moment, these could originally suppress an ordinary person. The chaotic information of the legendary strongman or the will of Warcraft was in turn suppressed by the entire cluster network. The millions of years of memories about the fertile evil god contained in the mist were encoded, edited, cut, and deleted by Joshua in a leisurely manner. By translating the meaning of those meaningless junk messages, the warriors even had the energy to extract important parts of these evil gods' memories, copy and store them.

In a few breaths, just when the natural teacher and others rushed to the bottom of the Fountain of Chaos, preparing to help Joshua deal with the impact of the evil god's information, Joshua had completely devoured these memories.

"...Joshua, are you okay?"

Seeing the black mist dissipate and the huge semicircular thinking network being taken back into the body by the warrior, Garan Nord couldn't help but feel that she was a step too late. She walked forward for a while, intending to ask about the warrior's situation.

"A little dizzy... The memory of the evil god is really too confusing. I overestimated my ability to translate information."

In response to the natural teacher's inquiry, Joshua did not look back. He raised his hand and wiped away the liquid nitrogen that was constantly leaking from his forehead. Above the warrior's head, due to the overflow of extremely high temperature, the air even became ionized. There was a line The small lightning formed by the wind element is flashing.

At this time, in Joshua's mind, the memory of the Evil God of Abundance was flashing rapidly - but unlike before, where he passively accepted those scattered memories, this time, Joshua had the initiative.

Memories are recalled, and the warrior stares at the past of the Chaos Evil God in his own spiritual world.

That is the last remnant left behind by an eternal existence that towers over many worlds—

The trajectories of countless stars flicker rapidly, turning into line-like trajectories, flowing in the dark void. Reading the time upward in units of thousands and thousands of years, one can see that in the empty void, there is a group of nebulae that are constantly spreading. , restored to a star on the verge of destruction. At the center of a huge world group, a stable and huge light group began to vibrate, and finally split into dozens of smaller worlds. The long river of time surged towards the past.

Joshua was in control of the rudder. He ignored those meaningless memory fragments and controlled the direction of the long river of time. He traced upwards, back to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago, and he indifferently ignored countless consequences caused by the evil god of abundance. Countless worlds and the moments of destruction and birth of evil gods, just because he didn't need to understand.

What he needs is the reason for the birth of the oldest evil god within the multiverse observable by Mycroft civilization today.

Therefore, after a long period of looking back, Joshua's memory finally returned to the original origin of the evil god.

That was 160 million years ago, in the pastoral era of the multiverse.

The plant space station suspended in the void spins happily in the turbulence of space. It expands its twenty-seven wide energy-grabbing leaves, absorbs the radiant energy overflowing in the void, and breeds a small bit in its body. Next to the plant space station above, there are many other types of space stations. Some of them are cast with metal, some are made of the corpses of living creatures, and some are like living creatures. The most wonderful thing is a twisted mass of The energy flow is constantly changing, with countless runes flashing on its outer layer, but there is a safe and stable space at the core.

In these numerous space stations, there are a large number of completely different life forms. Among them are races that are like octopuses, using many tentacles and using spiritual energy to float in the air. There are also races similar to humans, with a thinking center and a spinal nerve network. There are many creatures that have a pair of forelimbs and a pair of lower limbs, and even have no form, can deform at will, use metal particle species to communicate using magnetism, and various kinds of pure energy, pure elements and other strange beings.

These different species live in space stations not far from each other, and live in unique buildings. They have no conflicts with each other, and they enjoy themselves harmoniously. They even occasionally send airships to exchange supplies, just like a huge whole. Their peaceful and happy life, with nearly unlimited resources, is like the most perfect ending in all legends.

Expanding the field of view, one can see that these thousands of space stations transformed from countless small and medium-sized planes have even formed a long straight river. They are connected in a row to form an extremely huge, almost 'straight-line' structure. Behind this huge straight-line structure are tens of millions or even billions of huge luminous bodies. They seem to reflect the light of something, so bright that even the legendary powerhouse subconsciously squints his eyes.

And when Joshua reacted, he softly praised him.

Because, it is a world that is counted in millions and floating in the void.

Behind a straight river of space stations built using billions of planes, there is a more spectacular and larger river of stars. Countless worlds seem to have been artificially arranged neatly, forming a straight linear structure. They are the mother body of countless space stations. You can see that from time to time, many newly created small planes are expelled from the outer wall of the world, and then transformed by many strong men in the void, becoming part of the long river of the space station...

wrong.

Joshua, who was observing the memories of the Evil God of Abundance with great interest, was suddenly stunned. He raised his head and looked into the more distant void.

Because the soldiers discovered that the two structures of the space station river and the world galaxy are not straight.

They are part of a huge ring structure, but the things surrounding this 'ring' are too huge. Even a structure composed of stars that far exceeds the upper limit of ordinary people's cognition is not enough for it to be clearly observable. radian.

Feeling an emotion called 'unbelievable' rising in his heart, Joshua controlled his perspective and kept retreating. He stretched his perspective crazily, until after a long time, he was finally able to see a little clearly. What exactly is that huge ring-shaped structure rotating around

Then, his body trembled.

It was a mass that could not be described in words, with no color or brightness. The shallow electromagnetic wave sensing organ of the human eye could not see it at all. Even using the power of steel to see, it could only be described as 'existence', without any superfluity. 'Light clusters' of information.

Or rather, 'flame'.

The long river of the space station and the galaxy of the world are rotating in its outer orbit. Even if millions of numbers are piled up, they cannot form an 'arc' around it. The flame is undulating, and countless levels of existence information are released by it. And the dazzling brilliance in the outer layer of the world is just the observable energy after the degradation and decay of the light of fire, and the light of fire intercepted by the ring of the world is just a tiny bit of all the brilliance that is not worth mentioning. And most of the light of the flames spilled into the void, forming an energy frenzy that swept across the multiverse.

The tsunami-like power of existence washes through the void. They reverse and repeat, and then in an indescribable and unknown process, they condense into the original substance with entity, that is, particles of steel. Endless steel particles gather together due to self-gravity. The condensation formed the prototype of billions of worlds. They were pushed towards the outer void by the light of the flame. Only the part with the highest concentration of steel power and the largest relative mass could stay around the 'flame'. Enjoy its radiance.

That is the primordial fire.

At this moment, Joshua understood what he had just seen. It was the primordial fire and the central area of the multiverse. The surging light of existence was creating countless observable objects measured in billions. Worlds with small mass and low energy density are repelled to the edges of the multiverse, while worlds with large mass and high energy density are left in this core area.

And that world galaxy and countless space station rivers are artificial structures created by the cooperation of countless high-energy worlds and the civilizations in them!

Although, according to Joshua's observational perspective, the civilizations bred in those worlds are not very advanced, and there are even kingdoms in the feudal era and even primitive slavery systems, there is at least one in each world that can Advanced beings who entered the void and traveled through the multiverse, and thousands of such advanced beings joined forces to construct this amazing spectacle.

At this moment, Joshua remembered a concept from his previous life on Earth, the 'Dyson Ring', or more commonly known as the 'Dyson Sphere'.

The Dyson Sphere is a theory proposed by a physicist named Freeman Dyson. It is an artificial celestial body whose overall structure transcends planets and is used to wrap around stars and mine stellar energy. It is a natural core that uses stars as an energy source. Fusion reactor.

This huge artificial celestial body exists in the form of a composite ring or an entire spherical structure. It will surround the star and obtain most or even all of its energy. In his prediction, this should be used to obtain more energy after the advancement of civilization. s method.

Although the idea of a Dyson sphere is extremely difficult or even impossible to realize due to various materials science, astronomy and structural problems, it is not impossible to achieve it in the multiverse with extraordinary power where Joshua is now. Things like these are like giant void beasts wandering in the void. When they grow to a certain level, they are likely to spontaneously breed stars within their bodies, forming a natural biological Dyson sphere.

But that's only for stars... Stars are indeed huge, possessing mass and energy that life on the surface of a planet or a single continent world can't reach. However, for many extraordinary civilizations, it is just a target that must be surpassed. Not to mention Joshua, even the Pope of the Church of the Seven Gods, Igor, only needs to go deep into the inside of a star and change the speed of light in a certain area. It doesn’t even have to be so troublesome. He only needs to disturb the structure of the star to completely destroy it. A massive star.

And some super beings, such as the Evil God of Abundance, can even cause stars to decay and deplete by passing by or breathing.

Joshua rotates in the memory information flow of the Evil God of Abundance. This is not just a one-sided memory, but a simulation and reproduction of past information by the Evil God of Abundance itself. The warrior looks at the 'initial fire' surrounding it from a distance. The rotating world galaxies are still God knows how far away from the structure of a complete Dyson ring. If calculated based on 100% completion, they have completed at most one trillionth, but even so, it is an extremely shocking and brilliant thing. The ultimate artificial multiverse celestial structure!

They actively collect existential energy from the axis of the multiverse, and use this as energy to continuously create numerous space stations as colonies of their own race and civilization!

Small.

Too small.

Joshua stared at the 'possible' center of the universe and the initial fire, and he couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief in his heart - although the celestial structure in which the Evil God of Fertility reappeared was probably not real, even if it was just a fantasy, it was definitely possible. The reason is, how else could a Chaos Evil God imagine such a glorious multi-level wonder

Compared with it, all civilizations and all worlds are so insignificant.

And at this moment, some information quietly flowed out from the memory of the Evil God of Fertility.

[The 'Infinite Structure' plan failed. Our civilization has limits after all. The infinite galaxy surrounding the initial source point can never be successfully constructed because the multiverse is expanding and the initial fire is also expanding. Our construction speed cannot exceed it. The speed of expansion.]

[The multiverse is ultimately limited, and we cannot reach 'infinity'.]

This message contains endless sorrow and sorrow, as if a dream that had been dreamed for tens of millions of years was ruthlessly exposed by the cold reality.

The number of elementary particles in the single universe is limited. Even if you cut down to the most basic fields, they can be counted. The fact that they can be counted means that the universe itself is nothing but infinite and finite. , regardless of whether the total number of basic units is one followed by one hundred and eighty zeros or the previous one, eighteen hundred zeros, the possibilities of permutations and combinations of these units are also limited, but the number of possibilities is incredibly large. It's so unimaginable that even the record itself consumes an incredible number of carriers, so it's called 'infinite'.

But this kind of infinity is just false. Even the multiverse is also false and infinite. Even if the initial fire creates hundreds of millions of new worlds in an instant, then at the lowest limit of time, the total number of existing universes is also limited. The time it takes to count them, even if they are counted one by one, is enough for a universe to heat die or collapse, and then explode and be reborn millions of times, which is still limited.

[Except for the initial source point, perhaps there is no approximately 'infinite' existence in the multiverse. This path is wrong.]

This piece of information painfully left a signature representing his identity on an information document, and then slowly dissipated, and with it, the illusion of the entire multiverse.

Vaguely, Joshua sensed that, in addition to this huge galaxy structure that pursues 'infinity', the thousands of strong men belonging to different worlds had many similar thoughts and plans. Including the 'Infinite Structure', this huge union of worlds and civilizations has plans at four general levels.

For example, the 'eternity' that transcends all material changes and even the end.

For example, beyond all finite existence, even the imaginary 'infinity'.

For example, it transcends all concepts of cause and effect, even the 'absolute' of probability.

And, the 'omniscience and omnipotence' that cannot be described in words, cannot be described in words, cannot be thought of logically, makes mistakes every time one thinks, and makes mistakes every time one debates.

Eternity, infinity, absolute and omniscience, these are the four 'ultimates' pursued by countless initial high-energy civilizations that were once located in the center of the multiverse.

The illusion of the multiverse was completely dissipated. In the memory of the Evil God of Fertility, only a dark nothingness and meaningless light remained. Joshua stood in the center of his spiritual sea. He looked at countless dark fragments like streams of consciousness. Blocks of light mixed with extremely weak light passed by his side, as if even the Evil God of Abundance could not bear the glory and memory of that era.

Of course, this is not surprising. After all, only a tiny fragment of the Evil God of Fertility is left. The Sage wiped out most of its existence in the void. These are just fragments of its heyday.

Until finally, just when Joshua felt a slender and soft hand patting his shoulder, as if wanting to help him, the warrior finally saw the last fragmented memory illusion.

It was a dark and silent nothingness. Countless stars were broken and turned into misty nebulae. They slowly drifted into the multiverse, like the corpses of worlds.

The nebulae themselves will emit light, but their outer layers also reflect other additional radiance. This radiance seems to promote the aggregation of the nebulae, causing them to re-aggregate into dense clouds of matter due to self-gravity, allowing them to collapse into the original prototype of the world. —But just when the prototype of the world was about to be born, an unknown force caused it to shatter into pieces and turn into scattered floating nebulae again.

Joshua was silent for a long time, and then looked up. He knew that the light reflected by the nebula was the light of the initial fire.

He knew that the birth of the evil god came from the destruction of civilization and the world, and how was the Evil God of Fertility, the oldest and most powerful evil god, born? He felt that the next scene should answer this question.

So the warrior raised his head. He looked at the Initial Fire and at the 'infinite galaxy' structure formed by the original world's galaxy and countless space stations.

Then, he saw a terrifying vortex that was huge, similar to the Void Vortex, but tens or hundreds of times larger than the Void Vortex. It swirled in the structure of the originally infinite galaxy, destroying everything in existence, and then slightly Larger structures will be completely destroyed by the terrifying power contained in the vortex, and reduced to the original particles of steel.

Just beyond this vortex, it lies in the center of its orbit.

Joshua saw the Prime Fire again.

And it's shrinking.
