In the white Palace of the Shepherd, a black eight-legged fungus bent its limbs and half-knelt on the ground. The top of the towering fungus column released various spectra of different colors, mixed with noisy audio fluctuations, and said nervously: "If this continues, the world will be swallowed. The patient’s awakening may be sooner than we think!”
Speaking of this, Kumosinda said without hesitation: "I am willing to lead the first giant beast to the location of the World Eater to delay the opponent's recovery time!"
"A behemoth is useless. Kumosinda, a star-eating behemoth, cannot hinder even the World Eater who has not yet awakened."
The voice of the Great Khan sounded with thousands of echoes, and Kumosinda seemed to have thought of the other party's reply, so he continued loudly: "I know, so Great Khan, I apply to unlock the first behemoth The 'Negative Star Chain' will temporarily transfer World No. 1 to other behemoths!"
"Unlock the chains of the Negative Star and let the giant beast eat one or two worlds, then it can temporarily restore its complete body. In this way, I can control the first giant beast and temporarily suppress the awakening of the World Eater, and I The waiting fleet can also take advantage of the situation to prepare calmly, and while guarding against those unknown entities, it will provide an opportunity to completely kill this World Eater!"
Although the World Eaters are powerful, they are not invincible. The multiverse is so vast that there will always be some civilizations that can repel the World Eaters. Although their Shepherds are not that powerful, they can suppress a weak World Eater. , there should be no problem, which is why Kumosinda is willing to take risks.
The Great Khan did not reply, and seemed to be thinking about the suggestions of his king. In the center of the royal court, the twisted spiritual void shook slightly, as if he was about to make a decision, but soon, a shrill warning sounded, interrupting the two of them. dialogue.
"Highest alert! The unknown massive objects tentatively named 'Silver Star' and 'Green Star' have suddenly accelerated and are approaching rapidly! Highest alert! The speeds of Silver Star and Green Star are already 5.25 times the average speed of the fleet! It is expected that Contact us in ninety-three seconds (about three minutes)!"
The emergency alarm was still ringing continuously, and the royal court was also noisy. Although Kumosinda did not hear the Great Khan's reply, it knew that the adventure he wanted was destined to be impossible.
The awakening, sealed World Eaters, compared with the unknown dangerous existences in the Lost Galaxy, are the targets that the Shepherds need to be wary of. It can even be said that compared to the World Eaters, who are originally mortal enemies, those who do not know their purpose are , and the dangers of unknown origin are even more worthy of their vigilance.
What's more, is the opponent's sudden acceleration to attack their fleet's formation, or to rush to the area where the World Eaters are
Kumosinda didn't know this, but the entire world fleet was already in defensive formation, ready for an attack.
And soon, after ninety years, it knew the purpose of Silver Star and Green Star.
In the void, the huge world fleet is sailing rapidly. The giant crab-like void beasts swing their eight limbs and swim rapidly in the void. Space is their water waves, and gravity is their oars. They paddle the turbulent flow of time and space. , carrying the world on his back and moving forward.
But at this moment, two stars, one silver and one green, appeared behind them and flew closer at a speed that far exceeded the speed of the fleet.
"Prepare your defenses!"
The giant beasts slowly approached, and they could see that the extremely thick gravity shield, comparable to the barrier of the world, was condensing, forming an almost semi-arc honeycomb grid in the second half of the entire fleet. This solid barrier could even withstand the world. The impact of the collapse has protected the safety of the Shepherds countless times.
But Silver Star and Green Star had no intention of attacking the World Fleet. They flew past the right side of the fleet with a seemingly indifferent attitude.
—It doesn’t look like he’s an enemy.
Looking at this scene, Kumosinda couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although it has not yet figured out the origins of these two unknown entities, it seems that they should be the existences like giant beasts of the void native to the Lost Galaxy, and their purpose , probably also to attack the World Eaters.
However, just as this thought flashed through Kumosinda's mind, such a frame suddenly flashed across the light curtain in the royal court.
It was a black-haired man standing on the silver star. When he turned his head, he could see eyes that were indifferent to the point of being cold.
It is difficult for eight-legged fungi to understand the meaning of human faces. For them, the color of the magic spectrum of the cap on the head can represent emotions, and the mixture of mental waves and mechanical waves can fully express the meaning of language. Their sensory organs can even Not eyes - logically speaking, they can't even understand what organs are eyes, let alone eyes. To them, humans are just indescribable weird monsters.
But for some reason, Kumosinda could understand a lot from this look...it was ignorance, indifference, threats, and all kinds of extremely obvious emotions and warnings.
"Intelligent creatures!"
The King of the First Sky Realm suddenly let out an incredible exclamation and said incredulously: "Is it the native intelligent life in the lost galaxy, or the existence of the swallowing star! But why is it so fast, we didn't detect any civilized world nearby? !”
This is obviously the lost dark galaxy. A few natives were accidentally teleported into the sky before. The teleportation tools in their hands may be equipment left behind by the ancient ancestral empire. These can be explained, but the swallowing stars of intelligent life How could a super existence appear here so quickly? !
"And... why are you so strong?"
Kumosinda stared at the silver and green stars that had disappeared into the void in the distance, and still murmured to himself in disbelief: "According to legend, there is no way there is such a powerful existence in the Lost Galaxy... Otherwise, why did this last for a long time? In the past two thousand years, not even half of the life has come to the outside world?!"
Compared to Kumosinda's gaffe, the Great Khan didn't say much.
Because it knows far more information than the other party.
Lost Galaxy, its full name is 'the galaxy of the world where the lost ancestors live'.
Twelve thousand years ago, the multiverse encountered a catastrophe. Most of the races that thrive in the multiverse today have no way of knowing the truth about that disaster, because their civilization was still in its infancy at that time. They were The second wave of naturally occurring intelligent civilization allowed them to avoid the catastrophe, but also made them ignorant of the situation at that time.
At that time, the now prosperous empire was still playing with stone tools, the glorious and prosperous civilization had not yet created language, and some late-witted races did not even know how to use fire. But at that time, the ancient primitive civilizations had already begun to explore the void. The huge fleet is enough to affect the trajectory of the stars, and the strong ones among them can create everything in the world. The world galaxy they are in is called the center of the multiverse, and in fact it is the center of the multiverse. They proudly patrol the worlds. The cantilever of the galaxy incorporates everything that can be seen into its territory.
Everything is prosperous, like fire cooking oil. The glory of the initial civilization shines on countless races. They bestow wisdom on countless primitive creatures and sow the seeds of civilization everywhere. It can be said that without the sowing and cultivation of the initial civilization, then Most of the races in the multiverse today will slowly develop their own civilizations after hundreds of thousands of years. Even if the initial civilizations don't care, their names and legends are still circulating in the multiverse.
But at that time, at an unknown moment in that glorious era, an unspeakable disaster suddenly occurred in the galaxy at the center of the multiverse.
Infinite light covered the entire multiverse in an instant, and then extinguished in an instant. Countless civilizations witnessed the birth of that light, and also witnessed the dimming of that light. And just after that, infinite darkness appeared from an unknown place. , sealing off the center of this multiverse.
Endless World Eaters appeared, gnawing at the world and civilization, and a war was started that affected thousands of worlds, and then ended when no one knew it.
At the end of everything, the stars dimmed, and time and space transformed on an incredible scale. In that ancient era when all second-generation civilizations had not yet stepped out of the starry sky, everything changed drastically. The central galaxy that was once located at the center of the multiverse has now become The lost galaxy, which only existed in legends, was located in the dark area on the edge of the multiverse, and the glorious initial civilizations also became the lost ancestral civilization.
What was once the axis of the multiverse has turned into a Jedi and forbidden land that only exists in legends and myths, with only the slightest trace of records in the oldest books and stone tablets.
And twelve thousand years is actually just an imaginary number.
In fact, no civilization can accurately tell the period when the ancestral civilization was active. However, the earliest written record is twelve thousand years ago. Before that, there was an extremely long dark period. No civilization can survive that period. The era steps out of the void and finds the remains of the ancestral civilization.
And now, the Shepherds have found this galaxy.
This lost galaxy wanders at the very edge of the multiverse.
The Great Khan never believed that any civilization would exist in the Lost Galaxy - according to legend, the war between the ancestral civilization and the World Eaters destroyed everything, and the vast material vacuum was the result of that war.
If there were still survivors of the ancestral civilization, more than 10,000 years, or even 20,000 to 30,000 years would have been enough for them to recover and come out of this galaxy. But the fact is that there is not. All the ancient ancestral civilizations must have died. After destruction, even if there is still a trace of blood, I am afraid that it will have already turned into a primitive intelligent life, and it is necessary to develop civilization again.
Even before, several indigenous beings holding swallow-star magic props came to the world fleet, the Great Khan did not think that they were the achievements of the indigenous people of this galaxy, but rather relics and creations taken from the ancestral civilization. After all, if they had this kind of strength, they would have been able to go out on their own long ago. How could they still be huddled in this damaged galaxy
According to normal logic, this speculation is absolutely correct.
But the existence of extraordinary beings will always destroy most of the 'natural things'.
"Maybe we're all wrong."
It thought this way, and the empty spiritual void sent out a burst of high-frequency spiritual waves: "Everything is more complicated than we imagined."
