Brother Go and Brother Mao probably obtained divinity at that time.
However, the loving father Nurgle, one of the four evil gods, has not died. The four evil gods of this crystal wall system are a bit different from other gods of the crystal wall system. They are more conceptual gods and have different characteristics in different civilizations. The name is not the promotion of a certain living body, but a combination of thoughts and desires. Even if the body they descend from is killed, they can be resurrected soon.
But these problems are actually not big.
What really made Su Ziyu's scalp numb was another thing. The empire's spiritual power once soared, but he found that it was a terrifying trap!
Or.
The [Psychic Ascension] technology tree obtained by the Ancient Lost Empire was itself a terrifying bait!
The empire's original spiritual ascension pointed to four contracts in the virtual world. These contracts were [Whisper of the Void], [Desire of Instruments], [Weave of Life] and [Shadow of the World]. In addition, there is another contract, the legendary [End of Reincarnation], a contract marked by an ancient lost empire as one that must never be signed, because it is said that it will lead to a great terror outside this universe.
Of course, a certain price must be paid for racial ascension.
Whether it is spiritual ascension, mechanical ascension, or genetic ascension, these ascension routes have a certain price. Only by successfully overcoming the negative BUFF of ascension can a race truly achieve ethnic leap.
The virtual world contract signed by the empire was [Whisper of the Void].
Su Ziyu didn't know the contents of this contract before, but after he connected to the gate of the virtual world, he learned some of the contents of the contract.
The content of the contract is very simple. The virtual world entity that drew up this contract will teach the imperial psychics the secret knowledge of spiritual whispers and help them study the ultimate secret of psychic energy. This blessing will give any imperial psychic the ability to Born with a powerful psychic talent, he has also made great progress in the research of psychic powers, and can easily influence others through psychic powers. During the War in Heaven, the Eldar had similar talents. Their people were powerful psykers as long as they were born, and the same was true for newborns born when the Empire first ascended.
But as a price, the requirement for the existence of the virtual world is [as long as we agree to let them enter our consciousness].
The Empire eventually signed the contract.
The moment the contract was completed, a void mark was left on the planet's void gate, and on this mark Su Ziyu felt the aura of an evil god similar to his loving father Nurgle.
Shortly after the signing of [Whisper of the Void], a deadly spiritual whisper broke out on the planet, and then the aristocracy of the empire began to corrupt rapidly. The most severely corrupted was the emperor of the empire. He went crazy and became Moving Scourge.
Very interesting point.
The reason why Su Ziyu was targeted by the evil god was because he killed the empire's once-mad emperor, a mobile natural disaster that had degenerated into an ancient evil.
This is no coincidence.
It was not that the energy emitted by him when he activated his godhead attracted the evil god in the void, but that the evil god in the void had already eroded and corrupted this place, and left one of his chess pieces and an eye here. When the chess piece's eyes were wiped out by Su Ziyu, the evil god from the void decisively activated a certain ability, directly locking the space-time monitor system, and further triggered the warning measures of the space-time monitor system, resulting in the 'Hourglass of Time' 'Activate and send a distress signal to the unknown 'Space-Time Center', summoning the unknown [Time-Space Guardian] and [Time Dragon].
This should be some kind of self-rescue program that has been set long ago. When certain mechanisms are triggered, the Hourglass of Time will directly contact the space-time hub.
As for why he contacted the Space-Time Center at this time, Su Ziyu guessed that some kind of great change might have occurred in the Space-Time Center, and the Space-Time Monitor System could only use it as a last resort to protect itself.
The context of everything gradually became clear.
The virtual world contract signed by the spiritual ascension actually contains powers similar to those of the Four Evil Gods.
This discovery simply made Su Ziyu feel horrified to think about it. When he combined it with the fact that Brother Go and Brother Mao ate the body of their loving father Nurgle and then became the gods believed by the Orcs, the association he had in an instant was It even made my scalp feel numb.
There is a huge prehistoric pit here.
And this hole was most likely dug shortly after the War in Heaven, because the three major routes to racial ascension all appeared after the War in Heaven.
Psychic Ascension points to the Eldar in the War in Heaven.
Mechanical Ascension points to the Necron in War in Heaven.
Genetic Ascension points to the Green Goliath in War in Heaven.
Let’s talk about the Necrons first. After the War in Heaven, the Necrons entered a silent tomb to sleep. It’s not known when they will wake up again. At least they haven’t been seen in the past tens of thousands of years. Then there are the green-skinned giants. After the death of the ancient saints, the green-skinned giants also seemed to have degenerated. The only ones who are close to the original green-skinned ones are probably Brother Go and Brother Mao.
Here comes the point.
After the War in Heaven, the Eldar did not perish immediately. On the contrary, they had a period of prosperity, until they became corrupted internally, and then started a war with the greenskins, which directly destroyed the national destiny of the entire race.
The fall of the Eldar originated from a civilization catastrophe recorded in the ancient epic [Fall of the Eldar].
Currently, in the information that Su Ziyu can read in a state of near omniscience, there are some clues pointing to the mastermind behind the scenes.
The first clue is that the fall of the Eldar clan is closely related to Slaanesh, one of the four evil gods and the youngest.
The Eldar are rich in emotions and extremely intelligent. They like to pursue pleasure, art and sensory stimulation in life. One day, a strange disease suddenly began to spread among their tribe. Hysteria, insanity and other mental diseases began to affect the entire soul. clan. Some Eldar began to succumb to their onslaught of pleasure, worshiping strange rituals to gain new experiences, arcane knowledge, and sensory stimulation. As these rituals increased, the social fabric of the Eldar began to fragment.
Extreme hedonism began to spread among the Eldar.
This was also the case after the spiritual ascension of the empire. At that time, the aristocrats of the empire were extremely extravagant and hedonistic, pursuing sensory stimulation and decadent indulgence. The rate of corruption of the aristocracy was almost staggering. Overnight, most of the aristocrats of the empire were Wasted.
The chaotic void is actually a gathering place of thinking energy.
The residents there are spiritual energy bodies generated by thoughts and emotions, and these thoughts and emotions will not die. They exist permanently and are therefore held together by similar thoughts and emotions for a long time, allowing them to devour and evolve, they continue to grow and become more intense.
Eventually, the single consciousness in the chaotic void becomes so powerful that it gains self-awareness and becomes a demon or god-like being.
These demonic entities are known as the Forces of Chaos.
The four most powerful powers [laws] are Khorne - the god of war, blood and wrath; Tzeentch - the god of change, conspiracy and trickery; Nurgle - the god of plague and disease; and finally Slaanesh - the pleasure and the god of lust.
Among them, Sex Abuse is particularly related to the Eldar race. He was born due to the final fall of the Eldar race.
Prior to this Slaanesh was just one of the powers growing in Chaos, without full consciousness.
The second clue is that at the beginning of the fall of the Ada Eldar, a huge internal split occurred. Some Eldar could not stand hedonism and decided to go to other planets to explore and rebuild a new Eldar society. But they didn't expect that before they completed the plan, they started a war with the greenskins for some reasons. The mighty greenskins rushed into the galaxy where the Eldar lived, and defeated this Eldar that had not been corrupted by hedonism. .
Clue three: There are four contracts for spiritual ascension, and there are exactly four evil gods in the void.
"Brother Go and Brother Mao ate the corpse of the evil god Nurgle."
"The destruction of the Eldar led to the complete resurgence of Slaanesh."
"Fuck!"
"These four contracts for spiritual ascension are clearly a huge pit dug in prehistory!" Su Ziyu couldn't help but murmured in his heart: "Unless you skip these four virtual world contracts, I won't care about you. No matter which contract you sign, you may end up falling into the trap of an evil god."
"No wonder I haven't heard of any civilization that finally succeeded in spiritual ascension!"
Theoretically speaking.
If a certain race completes true spiritual ascension, their racial value, that is, racial talent, will be raised to the level of the Eldar during the War in Heaven, which means they will dominate nearly one-third of the galaxy.
As for why the greenskins who appeared here were corrupted by Nurgle.
Su Ziyu guessed that this may be related to the fact that his loving father Nurgle is the oldest evil god. The other three evil gods were born much later than him. It may also be that the original Nurgle once interacted with the supervisor and guardian of the space and time hub. They had fought against each other before, and after becoming aware of the existence of the space-time monitor system, they immediately took action decisively.
"The four evil gods most likely set a trap to harvest the psychic civilization of the galaxy!"
"They disguise themselves as mysterious existences in the virtual world."
"After the War in Heaven, they constantly tempted other civilized races to embark on the path of spiritual ascension, and used the four contracts in the virtual world to harvest and control them."
"The emperor whose empire once degenerated into an ancient evil is most likely the fruit that has not yet been harvested."
"It's precisely because I killed it in advance."
"Only those evil gods will notice their existence and lock the aura of the Hourglass of Time."
When he thought of this, a strong sense of crisis emerged in Su Ziyu's heart. He knew that he had to make a quick decision, because the real mastermind behind the scenes had not yet appeared, and what appeared in front of him was just their chess piece. They may also be testing, wanting to know whether Su Ziyu is the only time and space monitor, or whether the guardians of the space and time hub are back.
If it is the latter, then the ascension trap they originally set may not last long, because the guardians of time and space will never tolerate civilization being harvested in this way.

(PS: This year has been an eventful year. In the first two months, Futu felt uncomfortable, caught a cold, and coughed. It was not very serious at first. Then in the second week, he started coughing up blood. Every morning when he woke up, his first sputum was filled with blood. When the pain is severe, there is always a fishy-sweet feeling in the throat.
Haha, you're fine, don't panic, sit down, let's continue chatting.
At that time, I almost thought I was going to die, so I went to the hospital for a checkup and a X-ray. My lungs were fine. However, I had been smoking for a long time, almost ten years, and my chronic pharyngitis worsened. I also had a cold and cough, which directly broke the capillaries, so I I keep coughing up blood, but the doctor said there is nothing wrong with my lungs.
Pagoda didn't smoke before, but he started smoking after coding.
The worst time to smoke is when I'm writing Lord of the Abyss. If I stay up late to finish the manuscript, I can smoke one or two packs in one night. I tried to quit smoking several times, but failed because of coding. Whenever I get stuck, I smoke cigarettes. There are many writers who are heavy smokers, and I accidentally start smoking again.
I didn't tell anyone about it at the time, but later I made sure it was okay, so I mentioned it to my family, and then when the editor asked about it.
Among book friends, only some old friends who have been here for many years know about it.
I have been forced to quit smoking for more than two months now, and I feel okay. I feel like my lungs are coming back to life. When I try to code, I will touch cigarettes everywhere unconsciously, and then I realize that I have quit. Occasionally, I feel uncomfortable when I smell other people smoking. , I hate that smell, but I still have the habit of smoking cigarettes psychologically.
I'm still slowly getting used to it, but I'm in pretty good shape, but I've gained a lot of weight since quitting smoking.
Ton ton ton ton rose.
As for why I didn’t say it earlier, I didn’t want to scare people by saying it. Now that I’m sure nothing will happen, I’ll just come out and chat with you.
Try to see updates slowly resume, but don’t expect too much, because Futu’s physical condition does need to be recuperated. His body is not overdrawn from staying up late in the past, nor does he have a cold and cough that suddenly leads to coughing up blood.
The current situation is estimated to only be updated intermittently.
Ten years.
Let me take a good rest in the middle, and let's go on to the next ten years.
—I love your pagoda.
