Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 965: The truth behind the stars

Views:

On the whole, the imagination of any intelligent life is not well developed.

Compared to beasts with almost no imagination, multiple, single-celled organisms, and even dead things, that is naturally a different matter, but to be fair, on the whole, the imagination of intelligent life is limited. .

Imagination is a seemingly free word, but in fact, since its birth, it has been constrained and regulated by self, common sense, and everything we have seen and heard since its birth.

This isn't a bad thing. Imagination is a tool for people to connect and integrate things. It is a mold for the birth of inspiration and new creations. It inherently needs to be limited and constrained to think about something that is actually useful to life, rather than spreading around meaninglessly. , to imagine weird fantasies that are more bizarre than dreams - for example, to imagine the world outside the world when the people at the bottom have no enough food to eat, to guess whether there are all kinds of aliens in the stars, to imagine Various seemingly meaningless virtual social structures are used to create an ultimate enemy that is super powerful, even incredibly powerful.

What's the point? There are always many races in the stars who think so in their hearts. What does the existence outside the world have to do with me? The Milky Way, the universe is so vast, even if anything happens, it can't be blamed on me. Thinking about these things, it is better to think about how to fill your stomach, transform yourself, transform the surrounding environment, and then transform the world.

Even imagining something like a sudden promotion and salary increase tomorrow can at least provide virtual solace to the spirit.

But it's a pity.

Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction or even dreams.

One sudden day, light from the sky shines on the earth, and interstellar battleships are suspended on the top of skyscrapers, and then the originally stable 'reality' begins to distort - when countless primitive races are forcibly civilized into interstellar civilizations by the coalition forces of the Galaxy Guardian Alliance; When countless employees who had not enough to eat yesterday and complained that their bosses were too harsh will be overwhelmed by the large amount of basic materials brought by advanced technology the next day; when the original civilization form, doctrine and thought are in danger in the face of the sudden upgrading of technology, and are close to When it crashes.

What they have to face is the ultimate enemy that even science fiction writers dare not easily adopt such exaggerated settings: the evil god of chaos who can corrode the entire universe.

By the way, it’s still plural.

Not enough to eat? The modified agricultural products produced by genetic technology can be cultivated by one person to feed 10,000 people. Are there any aliens? Seven or eight different styles of star battleships can clearly answer this question. Is the imagined virtual social structure useless? Sorry, it's useful now. The whole world is running into the Great Contemporaneity, and then comprehensive military control begins. Among the 10,000 races, there are 10,000 that are unexpected. After all, dreams must be based on reality.

This is what most ordinary civilizations and ordinary races in the world of stars have experienced in the past.

They once thought that things had nothing to do with themselves and there was no need to care about the future. If the sky fell, there would be a tall man to hold it up. The universe was so big that there would always be room for it - but reality shattered these illusions and told them that they were never alone and civilization would never be the same. They are not isolated islands. They have always been responsible for their own destiny, and from beginning to end, there is an invisible chain connecting all lives.

In the silent and dark vacuum of the universe, the huge silver stars distorted their own light, causing the flat space to be distorted. He hung alone thousands of galaxies away, watching all the stars, and then sighed.

"What a huge chain."

Joshua, who is waiting for his partner, looks around the Milky Way. He can observe the entire world of stars from a unique perspective: in Joshua's field of vision, all ordinary light waves are blocked, and there are only two kinds of brilliance in the dark background. Shine, one is the light emitted by life, and the other is the light of spiritual energy that brings wisdom, soul, and 'imagination' together to change the 'material world' with 'spirit'.

It can be seen that the entire world of stars is like an extremely huge silver-blue giant net, with white particles on the net. These particles are living planets and settlements in the universe, and the network is the prototype of the reincarnation of souls, the aggregate of the spiritual energy of the entire world, a huge entity like a coiled snake, a network that combines the life of all stars and worlds. Tangled chains of fate.

Joshua sighed with emotion. He could see the Steel Python 'Star' sleeping in this giant network. This is not surprising. The bigger it gets, the slower it gets. With the size of the star, it will never be completely Those who are awakened can only use one point as the focal point to awaken some of the surrounding wills.

But the warriors can also see that this network is incomplete - one-third of the universe is eroded by darkness, and they are still attacking, destroying white particles one by one. They tear off the network and swallow the stars, bit by bit. It eroded and corroded the entire world, turning it into a dark wreckage.

In the face of such threats, no life can stay outside, and all intelligent minds are a community of destiny.

So Joshua can still see that the giant network is angry, like a natural counterattack. Between countless planets and countless networks, there are incredibly huge vortices gathering, emitting different bright lights: this is The giant web of emotion is spiritual energy driven by the emotions of countless lives. It has always existed and been accumulating.

Then, Joshua, who was looking at this giant net, found that at the thread of the giant net closest to him, an extremely large amount of spiritual energy began to gather, and the silver-blue light began to appear in the material world, transforming into an ordinary light wave observation organ The warrior saw a warm, jade-like translucent crystal appearing 'out of thin air'. There were countless blue lights wandering in this round translucent psychic crystal, forming an appearance like a miniature galaxy.

This is an encounter that takes place in silence.

[Welcome protocol has been activated: Hello, visitors from outside the world, we are very happy to see that strong people like you are willing to assist us. We are one of the three intelligent collections of omnics. You can call us 'Third Curtain' or 'Immortal Lighthouse'.]

There was no sound, but the faint spiritual energy fluctuations contained countless information. Joshua also responded silently and spiritually: "This is the contract, the contract I made with the people in the Midgard and the Steel Python 'Star', so they Call me and I come.”

"'Immortal Lighthouse'... the leader of the Galaxy Guardian Alliance, at least one of them. In this case, I won't say much. I want to know why the Steel Python 'Star' fell into sleep again, and why the evil god invaded It will become so intense in just ten years."

From an outsider's perspective, the scene today is very strange - in the dark void, a silver ball of twisted light rotates with another translucent blue light ball in a regular spiral, forming a rather strange... In a strange binary star system, both sides are releasing extraordinary power fluctuations visible to the naked eye, and are conducting extremely in-depth and concise exchanges.

[Detailed answer: Reposition the entry of 'Steel Python' to 'Mother of All Things'. The sleep of the 'Mother of All Things' is normal. In the history of the observable universe, the Mother of All Things has only awakened twice since its birth, and these two times were incomplete awakenings. It should have been sleeping, and this is also harmful to all life. There are benefits.]

[Situation Analysis: The invasion of evil gods is fierce because almost all creatures in the universe are aware of the existence of Chaos and evil gods. The Chaos Familia has created large-scale transmission ports like the 'Eternal Void Anchor'. The Evil God Families are currently known to have appeared. There are more than thirty-one types, and the number of clones similar to the evil god is more than five. Among them, the most active evil god is codenamed 'Plague'. The 'Eternal Void Anchor' has been destroyed, and the evil gods' invasion has slowed.]

Immortal Lighthouse's reply was simple and easy to understand, without any euphemism. It was very suitable for communicating with Joshua. He also asked: [Information: The database shows that your name is 'Joshua Van Radcliffe' husband'. The 'Immortal' (Legendary Junior and Intermediate Level) extraordinary individual who once appeared in the Atrium Civilization. It has been confirmed that his identity is true and his strength has surpassed that of 'Infinite Light' (Legendary High Level and above). Your advancement speed exceeds 100% of the extraordinary individuals in the information database.]

[Inquiry protocol has been activated: Are you the inheritor of————? Are you from the same world as -——? We must confirm this message before we can decide on further communication steps.]

———

Blank

What's the meaning

Joshua was stunned for a moment by the Immortal Lighthouse's question, but after a moment, he understood.

This blank space... is probably the real name of 'Sage'.

It's true that for a long time, everyone has been calling the sage the "sage", but whether it is the Seven Gods or others, even the will of the world, they always use the pronoun "sage", and never say the other person's real name... 7 It's okay for God to say that after all, their memories are incomplete to begin with, but like the will of the world, there should be no reason to call them 'sages' like Mrs. McLord.

As for why the Immortal Lighthouse can only emit a blank information band, Joshua has many guesses, but at present there is insufficient information, so he will put it aside for the time being. He answered directly: "I am indeed the inheritor of this extraordinary entity known as the 'Sage'. I come from the same world as him."

It's refreshing to communicate with machines. The soldier thought this in his heart, feeling quite happy. It was straightforward, no nonsense, just comfortable. To be honest, it had been a long time since Joshua had talked to someone so comfortably. The questions and answers between the two parties could not be more concise.

[Confirmed: The life preservation program has opened 00θ level permissions for you.]

[Expand again: Start negotiating and communicating.]

[Entrustment process: The Life Preservation Program invites you to assist the 'Final Defense Protocol' to resist the invasion of the Chaos Evil God. In exchange, all reasonable requirements within the scope of our capabilities can be paid as a price, including but not limited to: 'Psionic Original Structure' , 'Creation Process', 'Random Life World Generator', 'Reality Rewriting Port', etc.]

[Tip: The third curtain has full authority, but if you want to fully fulfill the requirements, you need to perform the second curtain and the first curtain at the same time. This may cause a certain delay, please forgive me.]

Joshua was not too surprised by this. Rather, it was as he expected.

Life preservation program... This strange collection of omnics has the power to lead the entire Galactic Civilization Alliance, and can compete with evil gods and communicate with the Steel Python Star. Joshua currently knows that the sage came to the world of stars not just to help the people of Zhongting. He had other purposes. The Steel Python Star had communicated with him, but they probably only met once and didn't talk much. So, Who is the one who truly communicates with the sages

The answer is already obvious - there is a high probability that this person is the core intelligence of the life preservation program.

You can ask directly about what the other party communicated specifically later, but now, Joshua was a little confused.

"What this intelligence said just now... seems a bit strange?"

The soldier thought in confusion: "In the history of the observable universe, the Steel Python Star has only revived twice since its birth... This kind of syntax and this meaning, it seems that the life preservation program has witnessed the birth of the Steel Python Star? He is right The 'Mother of All Things' has a very equal attitude... She even thinks that the other person is just a 'tool' that is beneficial to the existence of life."

Just like himself.

Not only that, but the 'creation process' and 'random life world generator' that follow seem to imply something.

—The sage deliberately left coordinates in this world, and the Wanjie Sacrificial Site also listed the mission of this world as the first priority. If he was not there, he would even call other saints to fulfill their responsibilities... The truth behind the stars must be Extraordinary.

Thinking of asking, Joshua said directly: "I want to know the history of the World of Stars. From beginning to end. Also, I want to know the true purpose of the 'Sage' coming to the World of Stars."

In response, the huge psychic crystal shone with light, seeming to be calculating and judging. Soon, there were clear and brief fluctuations, carrying endless information.

[Confirm permissions: meet the standards, start transmitting data: Observation Summary No. 79524913 (including all prefixed files)]

[Detailed answer: The world of stars is an artificially expanded world based on the 'Founder' plan. Its prototype is the size of a single star galaxy. After hundreds of thousands of years of expansion and the natural convergence of void structures, the world of stars has grown to what it is today. If there were no evil gods to invade, the world of stars would grow without limit (original setting). It has now been proven that the world of stars cannot grow without limit. In the year 34,796,621, the growth of the world of stars came to a standstill. At the same time, a large number of primitive life forms were born.]

[Detailed answer: The Steel Python 'Star' is an extraordinary power entity born naturally after the birth of psychic energy and the expansion of the world. Its existence has given birth to countless life worlds and is the imitation prototype of the 'Random Life World Generator'. The 'Galaxy Psychic Network' is also a technology used to observe the birth of the body structure of the Steel Python 'Star'. Wherever the 'Triple Curtain' is created, it shoulders the responsibility of observing the world and the 'Mother of All Things'. We remain stable]

[Detailed answer:——The purpose of coming to the world of stars is to find the existence of the 'founder'. The founder has left (confirmed or not). The founder has been destroyed. We showed him the relics and information left by the founder. ——Before leaving, he coordinated the structure of the world for us. Since then, extraordinary powers beyond psychic powers began to appear in the star world. We are very satisfied with the enriched information]

My palm was scratched by a wood splinter a few days ago, and it bleeds. There is a long cut. I thought it was just a broken skin, but today there is some pus... The photo was posted in the group. I am not lying or trying to be miserable, but it does hurt a little. I took the medicine and applied the lotion, let’s see how it goes tomorrow…

The foreshadowing of the world of stars has actually been buried for a long time, so it shouldn't surprise anyone... right
