On the battlefield.
Su Ziyu's expression appeared dazed for a moment. It was not that he was distracted at this critical moment, but that the divine value from the ancient hatred actually retained some memories and information.
He saw a deep and dark void, with countless purple gravel-like energy forming a gorgeous gauze-like Milky Way.
This is the virtual world.
A crystal wall system space at high latitudes.
The existences that can move here are all consciousness bodies, and the lowest level also moves in the form of spiritual bodies. Sometimes they even encounter huge and majestic existences in the form of ether. They are called guides by the outside world, and most of them have carried out [ All races with spiritual ascension have had contact with these guides. But not all guides are friendly, and some may even be disguised as some unknown and terrifying creatures.
The virtual world attaches great importance to contracts.
If you want to obtain the final result of [Psychic Ascension] in the virtual world, and enjoy the gift from the virtual world, the endless psychic power, then all races that undergo psychic ascension must sign a contract with the guides.
Unfortunately.
The contract signed by the emperor of the empire, Edward I, is - [Whisper of the Void].
This is a typical trap in the virtual world.
Generally speaking, if you are a race that relies on research to climb the technology tree to obtain the conditions for psychic ascension, you will know very well how deceptive things are in this contract, and you will also understand how terrifying it will be to take out the existence of this contract. .
But it's a pity.
The empire on this planet did not rely on its own ability to climb the technology tree. They accepted gifts from the ancient lost empire and entered the interstellar psionic era directly from the feudal era. At its peak, they even colonized neighboring countries. within the galaxy.
certainly.
They did not have the ability to build a spaceship, they just repaired a warp-capable star battleship from the Lost Empire.
Edward I was unaware of the trap, nor did anyone else in the empire foresee it.
They signed the contract with great joy and accepted the gifts from the virtual world.
The gift has come.
The huge spiritual energy of the virtual world came to the empire through the star gate. For a time, almost everyone could use spiritual energy. They could easily learn various spiritual energy knowledge by contacting the spirit body, and even crossed the barrier of the crystal wall system to briefly enter the consciousness. Within the virtual world.
But soon the contamination began.
The outbreak of [Whisper of the Void] caused all the high-ranking officials of the empire to fall in a very short period of time. Huge negative energy began to gather and form, directly connected to the spirit body they gathered together with the power of the empire, a person called the 'Void Spirit Saint' ''s pan-conscious body is also polluted.
Destruction comes.
In those incomplete consciousness, Su Ziyu saw an extremely huge shadow, like a bare planet, which swallowed up all the spiritual bodies the moment it appeared.
"Alarm! Alarm!"
"Psychic shock detected!..."
The sudden sense of crisis interrupted Su Ziyu's consciousness. He quickly cut off the information attached to his divinity and directly reached out to grab the ancient abomination in front of him.
The flow rate of consciousness is actually different from the outside world. Su Ziyu was in a trance for almost a second.
But the information he received was quite huge.
boom!
The ground under Su Ziyu's feet suddenly cracked, and almost as he reached out to grab Edward I's head, a huge insect emerged from the ground and bit directly into the corpse of the ancient abomination with a bloody mouth. Before Su Ziyu could react, only one head of Edward I was left in his hand, and the parts below the neck were actually swallowed directly by the ash worm.
The sky was filled with acid spitting.
The giant scorpion in the distance also turned its muzzle to aim at Su Ziyu, and in an instant, dozens of shells came.
"not good."
"Even I want to kill those bugs!" Su Ziyu carried the lonely head of Edward I, jumped hundreds of meters into the air, and then reached out to grab it in the sky.
— "Lightning storm!"
Rumble.
Densely packed electric snakes burst out in an instant.
Almost at the moment Su Ziyu launched the lightning storm, hundreds of lightnings fell, and the figures of spiked flying dragons, insect queens, and king insects fell from the sky, falling to the ground like dumplings. Crush.
Unfortunately, there are still too many insects.
There are still more than 100,000 Zerg on the entire battlefield. Su Ziyu cannot consume them at all. He can easily kill the ancient abomination because the Zerg consumes most of the enemy's power first.
The two layers of energy field protection of the Ancient Abomination were broken by them.
"Retreat first." Su Ziyu decisively broke out of the battlefield.
He has the ability to challenge a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand zerg, but if it is enlarged to more than one hundred thousand, his chances of winning can be said to be extremely low.
The lightning storm just summoned directly killed thousands of insects and cleared an area in the entire sky. Su Ziyu broke out directly in the direction where there were no enemies. After breaking through the outer interference barrier, it immediately A teleport away from the battlefield.
"Stop chasing."
"Bring back the corpse of the natural disaster!" A faint murmur sounded.
The underground Ash Worms burrowed back into the ground after biting off most of the corpse of the ancient abomination. The insect swarm cooperated quite well. As soon as the Ash Worms succeeded, the other Zerg immediately launched an attack on the Su Ziyu. Give him any chance of buffering.
If he walked a little slower, he would be surrounded by more than 100,000 insect swarms.
—"The Broken Dark Crown [Legend]: One of the gifts from the virtual world, an ominous object with a curse of the void attached to it, which can greatly strengthen the upper limit of one's spiritual power, and at the same time connect the consciousness to a certain existence in the virtual world. Listen to the whispers from it." [Alert! This item has an unknown curse!]
Su Ziyu accelerated into the forest, and then came to the location of Queen Isabella again.
He stretched out his hand to lift the still unconscious Queen Isabella, and then evacuated away from the insect swarm.
The space-time monitor system had an abnormal prompt at the end.
Su Ziyu didn't quite understand some of the hints, but that didn't stop him from noticing the last item.
— "Star-destroying weapons are coming!"
There must be some unknown and terrifying existence behind the ancient abomination. It seemed to have some purpose in enslaving Edward I. After the chess piece was killed, this existence became a little angry. Even the time and space monitor system on Su Ziyu was blocked. is locked.
So much so that the space-time monitor system automatically sent out a distress signal.
This is something that has never happened before.
In this case, the Queen Isabella in front of her is very important, because if anyone on this planet knows where there is a spaceship, then this person must be the Queen Isabella in front of her.
With Su Ziyu's current abilities, it would be difficult for him to fight against beings with the ability to destroy stars. Whether it was unknown terrifying creatures or warships equipped with star-destroying weapons, he had no chance of winning when faced with them. At this time, he could only It can be seen whether the distress signal from the space-time monitor system is useless. If it is not useful, Su Ziyu will need an evacuated spacecraft.
"grass."
"In the future, we can no longer easily enter planes with high energy levels and high civilization levels."
"Double-high difficulty is simply abnormal!..." Su Ziyu looked at the countdown prompted by the time and space monitor system and couldn't help cursing.
There is a lot of information in Edward I's residual consciousness.
Including Star Gods, Ancient Saints, Chaos Gods, Ancient Alien Species, etc., this crystal wall universe can be said to be full of pitfalls, and the dangers in the galaxy are countless, and a planet can be completely slaughtered at every turn.
It is precisely because of knowing this that Edward I can't wait to carry out psychic ascension, because only by successful psychic ascension can they gain a firm foothold in the galaxy.
if not.
Whether it is demons, orcs, ethereal spirits, insects, etc., or any other unknown creatures, they can completely destroy the civilization on this planet.
This is no joke.
Not to mention the existence of the aforementioned Star Gods, Ancient Saints, Chaos Gods, Ancient Alien Species, etc., just the crystal wall orcs are very, very terrifying enemies.
The orcs in the current crystal wall system belong to a special interstellar race.
They are called Orcs, Barbarians, and Greenskins, a race created by the Ancient Saints who have received [Gene Ascension].
The genetic elements of the orcs are composed of a plant spiral and an animal spiral, which allows them to have a hard green skin that can perform photosynthesis, and the most important ability to reproduce asexually, and they can think and act freely like animals.
They are only keen on war, and they are happy as long as there is a war. In the ancient era of the lost empire, the orcs were once one of the most powerful enemies of mankind.
They roared loudly in the sky: "WAAAGH!!!"
conquer. destroy.
Planets in the galaxy fell one after another, eventually forcing the ancient lost empire to assemble a huge army and mobilize more than a dozen Space Marine legions, and then they were defeated and temporarily driven out of the galaxy.
Orcs are the creation of [Gene Ascension].
They can reproduce asexually, divide and regenerate. As long as there is a suitable environment, the hair, skin, blood, etc. dropped by the Orcs will grow like 'seeds', and finally something similar to a mushroom will grow under the mushroom. It's just an egg, and inside the egg is the newborn Orc.
Genetic ascension gives them innate engineering technology, just like dragons. They are born with access to a large amount of genetically programmed knowledge. Although the creations of the Orcs look a bit crude and ridiculous, they can be used as long as they are pieced together, and can even be used for interstellar navigation, because these monsters also have consciousness force fields. Even if they are holding a simple wooden stick, as long as they think it is useful , this stick can smash a tank. This ability is still a mystery for the time being. It is called the 'WAAAAGH force field' and is the product of consciousness distorting reality.
The Orcs are just one example in the current universe, and there are many other races as dangerous as them.
It is because of knowing this.
Only Edward I could be so impatient to carry out [Psychic Ascension] that he even bet on the fate of the entire empire.
within the known universe.
Only races that have undergone [Gene Ascension], [Psychic Ascension] and [Mechanical Ascension] can truly gain a foothold in the galaxy.
Otherwise, they may be exterminated at any time and the entire planet will be reduced to ruins.
… … …
In a gorgeous star ring composed of countless golden gravels.
They are like a miniature galaxy flowing slowly around a city in the center. It is a magnificent city that is completely independent of the void. From a distance, you can see countless majestic buildings, made of blue and steel. The walls were poured with materials, and occasionally, terrifying low roars could be heard from the deepest part of the building.
It was an indescribable whisper, a tremor that penetrated into the soul, and an irresistible whisper.
Anyone who comes into contact with them will completely lose their consciousness in an instant and become a puppet controlled by them.
But now they are all locked up.
This is a prison.
A prison that has existed for countless years.
At this time, in a certain hall of this majestic city, shadows were slowly walking into it.
At the door of the main hall are two silver-white statues, their eyes shining as bright as diamonds. There is nothing in their hands, but they make a gesture of holding a sword with both hands, standing motionless in front of the main hall.
In the center of the hall is a swirling nebula.
The ground is made of light blue crystals, and you can see the void under your feet. There are some golden seats on all sides that look like they are in the clouds. After sitting down, these shadows one by one turn into reality and become different entities. .
This seems to be their incarnation.
A total of four avatars sat on the golden seat.
Da da da.
There was a rhythmic knocking sound, and then a calm male voice sounded: "Everyone."
"I just received a message."
"The time dragon's lair discovered the distress signal from the time and space monitor. This is the first time we have received a signal from the monitor since the upper area of the time and space temple was destroyed."
"It is very likely that there are still inheritors in their lineage."
The man's words made everyone else look at each other in slight surprise. Then an old man with rings on his fingers stood up and frowned: "Supervisors are different from us guardians. They can easily cross the crystal wall." Tie barrier to perform tasks.”
"And our mission is to guard a certain crystal wall system within it."
"Unless we get the key to the upper area, it will be difficult for us to leave all our own crystal wall systems to provide support."
"Besides, there are only four time and space guardians in the temple now."
"The areas we each guard either contain sealed ancient evils or have a large number of pollution sources. In some places, there are even wars between gods."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to get away."
After hearing the old man's words, everyone else couldn't help but fell silent.
Then, the man who spoke first said: "This is also the reason why I summoned you all. The space and time center is not powerful enough."
"We are all guardians of time and space who have only been promoted in the past three thousand years. The areas we are responsible for are very troublesome."
"But we have been disconnected from the supervisor's series of time and space signals for a long time."
"This is our only chance to retrieve the Time and Space Monitor."
"If it works."
"The supervisor system of the Space Center has been restored, and everyone here can also have a way to transcend the crystal wall system."
There was a brief silence.
After weighing the gains and losses, one of the figures with a hazy face completely made of light and shadow spoke. The voice was a cold female voice, and said slowly: "If we gather the power of the four guardians of time and space, maybe we can open the barrier of the crystal wall system. , temporarily enter the river of time and space."
"But we can only send one person in at most."
"But the question is who can go?"
There was another moment of silence.
The man who spoke first spread his hands and said: "In the area I am responsible for, the Death God System is at war with other God systems. I will definitely not be able to escape."
"There is a plutonium dragon in the area I am responsible for. If you don't keep an eye on it, the world may be destroyed at any time." The old man beside him also shook his head.
The female light also sighed: "I'm afraid I can't leave for the time being."
"In the area I am responsible for, some changes have occurred in the remains of the ancient gods, and the breath of the void has been detected nearby."
The hall fell silent again.
The man who spoke first thought for a while and said, "Can't you make the crystal wall barrier bigger? I have a few floating cities that can travel in the astral realm unused, and they are equipped with star-destroying weapons. If I can send one In the past, it probably wouldn’t have been a big problem.”
"It can't be done." The woman transformed into light and shadow simply shook her head.
At this time, the silent figure spoke. He didn't seem to be a human being, but had just transformed into a humanoid form. It was unclear what he was. He could only hear him say in a low voice: "How about we take the Neutron Star Golem?" Send it over?"
"Nonsense!" the old man shouted: "There is no neutron star golem guarding you?"
"What if those ghosts in the prison escape?"
The group fell silent again.
Finally, the man who spoke first spoke. He hesitated and said: "I have a friend who can resist the turbulence of time and space. He is not a god himself and is not restricted by the laws of the crystal wall system."
"I don't know if it's okay to send her there?"
The old man on the side asked: "Can she deal with existences at the level of ancient evil objects?"
"Four or six." The man thought seriously and said, "But she is immortal and can be resurrected as long as one cell exists. It should be no problem to save the time and space monitor."
"We can leave the problem of the crystal wall system to be solved later."
"First rescue the people from the supervisor's group."
"Only they know the whereabouts of the key to the upper area. Without their help, it would be difficult for us to enter the Sand Sea of Time."
"There is no time and space monitor."
"Just relying on us guardians to maintain it, the Temple of Time and Space will still be incomplete after all."
“No matter how strong we are.”
"They still have to be trapped in their respective crystal wall systems."
There was a moment of silence.
The old man was the first to speak: "I agree."
The woman transformed into light and shadow also nodded and said, "I agree too."
"I have no objection." The humanoid figure said, "In that case, let's summon the Time Dragon."
"I can't do it without their help this time."
"The lair of the Time Dragon is our only way to get close to the river of time and space."
Speaking of which.
The humanoid figure hesitated and said, "Actually, I still think it would be safer to send the Neutron Star Golem there."
"After all, it is the crystal wall system where [racial ascension] exists."
The other three guardians present shook their heads and objected: "The Neutron Star Golem must not be moved."
