Ring world.
A huge artificial structure orbiting a star, containing a large number of artificial living areas, is a type of artificial habitable world.
In the past, the world of Hileye was the Blood Moon Abyss, the world where Xiaoguang's body, the Humanoid of Light, was located. It was a world filled with ether. Even the continents were empty islands, and the oceans were just patches of rootless floating water. Empty world.
The sun of that world fell into decline in the long past. The civilizations living in the world of Hilleye joined forces to promote the Sky Island. They planned to bring their continents closer to the sun and connect them into a ring to obtain as much light and heat as possible. Maintain survival... Of course, this plan failed in the end. The entire world was destroyed by the evil ritual from the black mist mother body, and finally turned into a blood moon in the sky, which is the prototype of Xiaoguang.
In the memory of the Evil God of Abundance, the 'infinite world ring' that existed around the Initial Fire was also part of the inspiration. Joshua drew on these ancient memories and worked with other gods and powerful men from other worlds to designate this unique 'etheric ring world' plan. .
First, look for a world full of ether, preferably a dead world where the flames have been extinguished, so that you can skip the step of extinguishing the star.
Next, all matter in the entire world is cleared away, creating an absolute ether vacuum.
Then, ignite a brand new star with special characteristics, control the brightness and gravity, and give the star the characteristics of a void beast, creating a controllable 'living sun'.
Finally, there is the construction of the ring, using the special properties of the etheric world to maintain the stability and structure of the ring.
In fact, the 'Ether Demiplane' that is currently being used as a conference hall for the 'United Assembly' is the product of their practice. It is precisely because most of their energy is spent on casting this ring world that the Mycroft Civilization Cai Cai didn't seem to care much about the joint conference, so he just sent Faina and Barbarossa to host it.
"The design of the ring is deliberate. According to reasonable angles, we can certainly build countless small habitable places to orbit the star. There is no need to build such a huge ring, but it is necessary."
At this time, Joshua seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be explaining to Nostradamus: "The ring is the residence and the basis of the magic circle. The entire ring world is actually a super giant world magic circle. The foundation of the circle, and the artificial star is nothing more than the energy core of the circle. After I build the foundation of the ring, the Seven Gods will come to give it divine power."
He raised his head and looked at the golden, slowly burning star in the distance. The warrior said softly: "All the lives living on it are part of this magic circle. The entire world will be destroyed by this unprecedented super magic circle." , shrouded in a realm of absolute silence... This realm can even completely block the transmission of 'divine power', that is, 'memes', and after I cover the world with a black body barrier, it will block the seven gods and me Together, we can send them into the wreckage of the galaxy in the silent void to ensure absolute safety."
"Nostradamus, this is the last hope of despair, the hope we have left for the 'future', no matter what, the seeds of order exist in absolute darkness."
"…the future, right?"
Hearing this, Nostradamus sighed slightly, and he also understood why Israel did not tell him this... If we say that this world is the last of the entire Mycrovian civilization, and even other orderly civilizations. As for the shelter, its confidentiality level is definitely top secret among top secrets. Except for the final evacuation, I am afraid that no unnecessary people will know about it.
After all, after the 'meme concept' was deduced by Joshua and told to others, everyone understood that not to convey too much information unless necessary, just like if the news of the evil god was widely publicized, , will undoubtedly attract the evil god to do that.
If Nostradamus's time and space spells were not necessary to accelerate the construction of the ring world, I am afraid that he would not know the news now, just like Barbarossa and Faina who still don't know the news.
Of course, these two legendary powerhouses may have surmised that something important was being hidden from them, but they were both smart people and would suppress unnecessary curiosity.
"So, even you, Joshua, don't think we will win?"
After thinking for a while, Nostradamus sighed again, and then showed a wry smile: "I'm actually preparing for 'Hope' from now on, and I'm even ready to send this world into the silent void... Haha, I'm still I thought everyone was immersed in the pleasure of conquering other civilizations and enjoying the vast multiverse world."
"No, I believe I will win."
In response to his old friend's doubts, Joshua shook his head vigorously. The giant god's head shook, and even caused large gravitational ripples. He said solemnly: "Fighting is for victory. Although I will not say 'win before thinking about it'." It is wrong to think of defeat, but if the whole clan is prepared to flee before the battle begins, then there will be no momentum in the battle."
"But, Nostradamus."
Suddenly, Joshua's tone softened. He turned his head, stared at the old mage who was only as big as an ordinary person with eyes as huge as a planet, and then said calmly: "There will always be people who don't want to fight."
A long silence came.
Nostradamus said nothing.
After a long pause, Joshua turned his head, stared at the stars and continued: "The battle with the evil god in the future will definitely be an arduous, doomsday battle that will cost life, soul, belief and even existence. Heaven. The battle... You know, right? This is the mass extinction that our generation's civilization will encounter. It should have come a long time ago, but maybe the sages killed Fengsheng and repelled the wave of attacks, so that the evil gods did not do their best. achievement."
"But now, it's coming, once again, even more and stronger than before. Their numbers are endless, their shadows cover the sky, they can distort the world, shatter the stars, make everything and even the stars dim and extinguish. "
"This is the kind of enemy we have to face."
At this point, despite the extremely depressing atmosphere, Joshua smiled, and his laughter shook the etheric vacuum: "This is not an enemy that everyone dares to face. Only madmen will be willing to come forward - a civilization that cannot Maybe everyone is crazy like me and laughs out loud thinking about this kind of stuff.”
"At that time, I will lead all the madmen and idiots who dare to show their swords against despair to fight against the stupid and crazy evil god. We fight for victory, and naturally we are not afraid of death... But what about those people? Those who have no power, are ordinary, and are afraid What about people who are afraid of death and destruction and just want to live a stable life, live well, grow and learn well?”
Noticing that the old mage closed his eyes, Joshua also closed his eyes. He whispered: "That is the main body of our civilization—the main body of continuation."
"We, the people, fight precisely to protect them. We cannot reverse the cause and effect, let them pay the price for their madness, and force them to be as crazy as me."
—Those who want to fight can fight with me. We will fight bravely to fight against darkness and chaos until the end.
-Those who cannot fight or do not want to fight should naturally live well and live as hard as possible.
Not just living, they must also live well, live with great momentum and dignity, they must live healthy, and then cultivate the next generation of lunatics and idiots, and cultivate a new generation of people who are arrogant enough to think they can A guy who overcomes despair, is crazy enough to challenge the doomsday, and foolishly embarks on an impossible journey.
A civilization cannot be filled with intelligent people. There must be both sanity and madness. This is a healthy civilization.
"So, that's the hope and the future."
Joshua opened his eyes and stared at the huge ring structure in front of him. He said: "It is also a hope for all those who are willing to fight to fight to the last moment without any scruples."
For this hope, cowardly people can grow into brave people, and people who are afraid of pain can become people who are not afraid of death. Hope can change people and give them courage, but hope and courage can also kill people, only those who are killed People are willing because they are fighting for the future.
"I don't force anyone to be like me and understand me. After all, only I am like this, so eager to fight."
Slowly raising their feet, Joshua and Nostradamus began to move around the world, bringing with them the huge time and space colleagues. The giant gods seemed to be taking a walk, and began to cooperate with the seven gods outside the world, adjusting the entire thing internally in subtle ways. The ether concentration of the world ensures its circulation balance. While doing the work of transforming the world, the warrior's tone is equally easy-going and calm: "Only I can feel the meaning of life only in battle."
Nostradamus raised his head. He seemed to hear a deep sense of loneliness from these words, but the warrior's tone did not have any such feeling. Instead, there was only a faint sense of joy... But the old mage could be sure that it was not illusion.
"No, Joshua."
After a moment of silence, Nostradamus spoke. Nostradamus narrowed his eyes. The old man, who had known the warrior for more than fifteen years, said in a deep voice: "What you said is completely wrong."
The giant god's eyes were attracted, and he looked at his friend with some doubts. Nostradamus stroked his beard and said calmly: "Although, I really can't understand why you are so eager to fight. After all, for me, fighting is It's just a means, not an end... But I can understand you."
"We can all understand you."
"Just as you can understand ordinary people who are unwilling to fight and the discord in a civilization, why can't ordinary people understand a fighting maniac?"
Speaking of this, the old mage shook his head: "Just like me, I, an old man, don't actually want to fight. I still want to continue reform and let the empire have a better and more complete social system. I don't want to die so early. I have more important things to do... to face the evil god and fight to the death with those monsters... But can't I understand you? I can't understand a person who loves fighting, facing an unprecedented force. How can you still have courage and faith when you are facing an enemy?”
The old man sneered: "This makes no sense."
Civilization is a process in which individuals understand each other and grow hand in hand. Although there are thousands of annoying misunderstandings and contradictions in this process, people can never truly understand each other and can only live in pain. They gradually get along and adapt to each other, but if they don’t try, how can people cooperate and how can people share knowledge and technology? How should society and civilization grow and progress
Therefore, Nostradamus said calmly: "Ring World, this is a good plan. Joshua, you are indeed right. Even if you firmly believe that you will win, you must still have hope... Just because you know hope The future must exist, and warriors will be willing to wield their swords for tomorrow... I already understand the plans of you and the Seven Gods."
"I understand you, Joshua, you're a warrior, that's not surprising, is it?"
Joshua did not reply. He was still silently adjusting the ether flow of the entire world to ensure that it could maintain an absolutely stable cycle.
The old man did not break the silence.
After a long time, the work was over and the soldier stopped.
He raised his head slightly, and Joshua looked through the shell of the world that was not covered by the black body barrier to the endless multi-dimensional galaxy starry sky in the distance.
One half is the dark, silent void, the remnants of countless galaxies in the past, and the other half is the dazzling sea of stars, the diverse galaxies that still exist today.
"Fighting... is just a means."
He murmured under his breath and chuckled.
yes.
Fighting is just a means.
For Patriarch Thakur, Emperor Amos, and all ordered civilizations and intelligent individuals in this diverse galaxy, fighting is just a means.
I'm afraid, even for gods, evil gods, sages, other memetic beings, and even existences like the mastermind behind the scenes, fighting is just a means.
—But for me, fighting…
Thinking of this, Joshua slowly raised his right hand. He placed his thumb between the silent void and the multiple galaxies, dividing darkness and light, destruction and existence, chaos and order. His fingers divided the dimness. and brightness, coldness and warmth, death and life.
He separates all oppositions, all contradictions, which are the source of battle.
The warrior stared at his thumb, as if he was proofreading something.
"At least, now, here."
After a long time, he put down his hand. At this moment, Joshua's eyes were clear, without the brilliance of divinity or the dimness caused by chaotic memories. At this moment, all the sequelae caused by the evil god of death were completely dissipated, even the silver light of the power of steel There is no halo.
There was only pure faith in the soldier's red eyes, and he laughed softly:
"I'm still me."
"I still haven't changed."
Second update, there may be a third update later.
