When the ancestor in the crystal coffin slowly opened his eyes, I felt the body of Sandora beside me tremble slightly, and then a strange emotion filled the laboratory—this emotion was only in the laboratory at first, but Soon I felt more and stronger emotions, which came from all directions, from every world, from the spiritual network, from the entire empire, from all the apostles of the spirit online on the Internet-I realized that countless apostles pay attention to Looking at the situation in this laboratory, when the ancestors opened their eyes again, this news swept through thousands of universes under the rule of the empire like a storm. Something was brewing in the spiritual network, and purely rational thinking patterns could not Suppressing this turbulent emotion, the Apostles of Xiling ushered in the most exciting moment since their birth.
The ancestors are back.
"The vital signs are stable, the mental state is normal, and the body is in good condition. It is confirmed that the ancestors have regained their vitality." Even the voice of the laboratory assistant host seems to be full of excitement. Of course, this should be my illusion. I heard the host is reporting One piece of good news, each of which made Tavel and Sandora's eyes brighter, "Spiritual body scanning has begun... confirming that the soul of the ancestors is intact, and the strength is steadily increasing."
The crystal container made a slight hissing sound, the environment inside it was balancing with the laboratory environment, ready to open the container, but the body with opened eyes was still in a state of confusion, and the pair of dark brown eyes slowly emerged from the most The left shifted to the far right, and then slowly turned back—the Xiling seems to have no pupils, so I can't see if he feels uncomfortable with the lights on the top of the laboratory, but Tavier still immediately ordered to weaken the overall lighting. Finally, the ancestor blinked violently twice, as if waking up from a long dream, his chest suddenly rose high, and then slowly relaxed with a heavy breath, and then he raised his hands stiffly, It seems to want to prop up the body.
With a "bang", he hit the solid hatch of the crystal coffin. The Xiling who had been sleeping for a long time froze for a moment, and began to knock hard on the surrounding crystal shells. I guess he thought he was caught—a normal Reaction.
"Ready to open the container." Sandora said immediately, Tavel began to quickly check the environmental balance inside and outside the container, because she had to make sure that the ancestor's body had adapted to the outside environment, which took more than ten seconds, and the ancestor was in At first, he tried to destroy the surrounding crystal shells, but he probably soon realized that the strangers around were not malicious, so he looked at us curiously.
"Zizi..." A sound like a pressure release came from around the sealed cabin, and then the upper cover of the crystal cabin smoothly slid aside, and the middle-aged man who was lying in it sat up suddenly when the hatch was fully opened. The body is flexible as if it has never experienced the long death process: Tavel has completely repaired this body, and now he is in the best physical condition. As long as there is no problem mentally, the newly resurrected ancestor is the healthiest , There will be no dormancy syndrome or the like at all.
The test platform was slowly lowered to the ground level. The newly revived ancestor walked out of the crystal container with a somewhat blunt expression, and then stood there, seemingly not knowing what to do next. He blinked and looked at the Everything: huge laboratories, unknown mysterious equipment, bizarre light beams and crystals, busy researchers in white clothes, most of them are women with exactly the same appearance, for a person who is just waking up from a big dream, this scene is really easy to use. into chaos. I think his memory should still be at the moment of emergency escape when the spaceship was destroyed. The deviation between the last moment of the year and the scene in front of him was so great that the other party could not recover at all. You can imagine yourself in a familiar bedroom Going to bed, what I saw before I closed my eyes was the ceiling of my home, but when I opened my eyes, the ceiling turned into a cosmic starry sky, surrounded by a large circle of alien children with big heads, and there was a sign on my chest , which reads: Specimen of Earthlings, XXXX to XXXX, extinct—this analogy is not appropriate but you can make do with it, I am also a little confused.
"How do you feel?" As the project leader, Tavel finally remembered that she should speak first, and she took a step closer carefully: this action caused the ancestors to be alert for a moment, but the latter quickly relaxed, he just came out of hibernation He suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment and was a little too nervous. He could tell if there was any hostility from the people around him: "I remember the alarm that the spaceship was out of control... Where am I? Are you a fleet from another universe passing by? saved me?"
"Please relax, there are a lot of things to explain," Sandora tried to regain her composure, and she asked Tavel to take back a lot of her mass projections: after all, this battle looked a bit scary, and then her eyes fell On Ancestors, "Your spaceship has been crashed for a long, long time... so long ago that you may not believe it, so what I'm going to say may surprise you, starting with your crew..."
"Where is my crew?" The ancestor asked immediately, his thinking was gradually becoming active, and the situation before the spaceship crashed was the first thing he recalled, "Where is my spaceship?"
"Your spaceship is in the Ganaku not far from here, but we only found half of its wreckage," Sandora thought about her words, "As for the crew on the spaceship...they haven't been resurrected, in your easy-to-understand terms , is still 'dead' for the time being."
The ancestor was suddenly confused by this statement. In his era, he certainly couldn't talk about resurrection like the Apostle Xiling all day long: "Resurrection? 'Dead'? What does this mean? It means that my crew has all died. I was sacrificed, and I was the only one who survived, or do you call the process of 'thawing from deep sleep' resurrection?"
I found that Sandora was very awkward when she spoke to her ancestors, so I took a step forward and waved my hand carelessly: "Literally, you are resurrected from the dead. In fact, you have been dead for a long time. How should I say it... even surpassed the record of a universe. The longest period of time, but we have the technology to resurrect lifeforms, so you are resurrected. You are the first to be resurrected, and it seems that you are the supreme commander of the spaceship... Let’s not talk about this. As for our identity …”
Speaking of this, I was a bit stuck, thinking about how to explain this vicissitudes of life to the other party, and then I realized that it would take at least a few days to explain things clearly—I had to start from the establishment of the old empire, so I finally put All things are summed up in one sentence: "You created a kind of life called Xiling Apostle back then, right? Now trillions of years—maybe longer time has passed, and what you are seeing is after this long evolution You may not know them anymore, but what I said is absolutely true."
The ancestors who had been revived after hundreds of millions of years were like petrification, and stood silently on the spot. Sandora, Tavel, and several senior assistant technicians who had just approached looked at the ancestors with anticipation and apprehension, hoping The latter could at least say something, but after a full minute, the ancestor could only murmur a sentence: "You're not joking, are you?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" I know it's hard to believe, so I don't worry, I just straighten my face and try to look more reliable, "No one jokes about their entire race—yes By the way, I would like to add that my situation is special, I am not an apostle of Xiling, but I am currently the person in charge of this place."
"You said trillions of years have passed?" The ancestor didn't seem to pay attention to what I said, he was still chewing on the shocking news he just received, "Then you wake me up from the dead state?"
"Trillions of years is just a general statement. In fact, we can't determine the time when your spaceship crashed," Tavel explained patiently. "Some kind of unknowable force has erased the time record in the material, and our Civilization has encountered many twists and turns in the development process, and some historical data are not very accurate, but what is certain is that it has been a long and terrifying time since you left your home world, definitely exceeding the total lifespan of any normal universe.”
The muscles on the ancestor's face twitched. I couldn't tell whether he wanted to laugh or cry, but his tone seemed to be gratified: "So, you really survived, evolved, became stronger, and reproduced until now, and I finally have a stable home... Of course, the premise is that what you said is true. According to what you said, I slept... died for trillions of years? Then the relationship between us is not just as simple as dating, I am afraid that when we The imprint left on the first generation of Primarch has completely disappeared by your generation... "
The ancestors may not be able to compare with today's Xiling apostle in terms of knowledge, but their foresight is obvious: in just a moment, the other party thought of the impact of such a long time, and his guess was exactly the same as the real situation.
Sandora nodded with some regret: "As you said, apart from our own core memory, there is no direct evidence to prove that we are the life evolved from the original body you created, or that we have evidence, But... With all due respect, you can't understand. After a long evolution, the apostles of Xiling have become a life form that is incomprehensible to ordinary races. There's nothing left."
I looked at my ancestors, then at Sandora, and suddenly inserted a sentence: "Actually, you don't have to doubt it at all - who would chase after someone to recognize their ancestors? This is a very serious matter, okay?" What!"
Sandora glanced at me silently, what she meant was: With you here, is anything serious
So I kept silent.
"I..." the ancestor was thinking hard, he really had too many things to think about, and obviously he was a little bit overwhelmed now, I can understand: when he woke up, the outside world changed too much, far surpassing yours When he wakes up to find that human beings are extinct, and the earth is ruled by a group of cats—he wakes up and even the world is gone, "I need to think about it slowly... But anyway, seeing you have developed so far, It is a good thing, a good thing, to know that the spark of civilization has been preserved...”
Sandora and I looked at each other, and we both felt a little headache: Do you want to tell our ancestors that the Apostles of Xiling were almost extinct not long ago, and now the two groups of people are still fighting like a hot kiln? I don't think this news will do much good for the health of the elderly...
"Ahem," Sandora coughed twice, gave me a long-term look, and then cautiously said to the middle-aged man who seemed a little confused, "Ancestor, we will arrange a place for you to rest, others The resurrection will be completed in the next few days. We have many questions and hope to get answers from our ancestors... "
"Ancestor?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was his address. He laughed indifferently, and waved his hands vigorously, "This is not a name, it sounds more like it is carved on a pillar." Call me Anthers, that's my name."
"Ansers..." Sandora repeated the word, looking a little embarrassed, "but for us, ancestors..."
"You shouldn't think about the past. The Xiling civilization survived only when it was overwhelmed. Everyone who looks back is dead." The ancestor who claimed to be Ansers waved his hand vigorously, "Actually, you should also leave us behind. Yes, I'm already dead, why am I still alive?"
Sandora was speechless, and I never thought that my ancestor would be so bachelor, and if he wanted to put it on a normal person, he might be so happy knowing that he escaped from the dead and came back to life, but the middle-aged man in front of him didn't feel that he had experienced A "good thing", even, I feel that he is faintly depressed. But now the fact that the ancestor was resurrected has left Sandora with no time to care about him. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but arranged for the guards to lead the way and let the ancestor go to rest first.
Oh, I can’t talk about the ancestors anymore. They have a name, Ansers—a name that sounds ordinary. If you don’t know everything, and just hear this name, no one will be able to associate these three words with hope. Let’s think about the creator of the Spirit Apostle, but then again, what kind of name can match the identity of “Xiling Ancestor” who cannot be seen directly
This made me deeply realize once again that apart from the amazing feat of "creating one of the three gods of the void", the ancestors are just a mortal race...
"Ajun, what are you thinking?"
Noticing that my expression was fluctuating, Sandora leaned closer. Through the bond of spiritual connection, I felt that Her Majesty's heart was still in a state of agitation: Sandora, who was always calm, would be excited for so long. It's the first thing in history. I suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness: During the whole process of the return of my ancestors, as Emperor Xiling who became a monk halfway, a "void creature" whose life form was hard to define, I was actually a complete outsider, and I could only feel I feel Sandora's mood, but I'm afraid I will never be able to experience this excitement across time and space like the real Xiling apostle.
"It's nothing, it's just..." I hesitated, thinking about how to explain how I felt after seeing my ancestors-my personal feeling is definitely different from that of the Xiling Apostles, but considering the truth of being a bystander, maybe this feeling is more "calm and objective" One point, "Suddenly spoke directly to the ancestor of the Apostle Xiling, and felt that the other party was not as unpredictable as expected. What do you think?"
"It was expected," Sandora smiled, and it seemed that she was not overwhelmed by the excitement. "In short, the situation is smoother than expected. Thank you Ding Dong—and your usual spare time. Tavel , the next resurrection operation will be handed over to you, I believe that with this experience, this task will not be a problem for you."
Tavel nodded confidently, held the small box of jingle slag (I suddenly thought the name was a monster) and looked at me with great care: "Your Majesty, there is only one request. The amount of these powders may not be enough. Can Master Dingdang work harder..."
I shook my head with a dull expression: "Isn't this something that can be done with hard work? The scum she dropped in a day's flight is not enough for two ear digging spoons, and it is difficult for you to collect them all. I collected four of these powders. Five months…”
Sandora stared at me dumbfounded, and bit her lower lip after a long time: "Ah Jun, although I said it once... but how much free time do you usually have!"
Although the family members may have already known the good news through the spiritual network, Sandora and I solemnly announced the return of our ancestors after returning home. This is a big event, even if more than half of the family members usually It's not very reliable, but it's still a big enough event to cheer up the whole family. My sister decided to have a good meal to celebrate in the evening - this is basically the opinion of Her Majesty the Queen of the 15th Heaven District on this matter. Qianqian regretted it because she was not there at the time: this girl probably hoped to be with Tavel Also master the technology of multiple shadow clones, so that she can be present and meddle in every lively event in the world.
Bingtis was very curious to ask what the ancestors said after they were resurrected, but Sandora and I could only tell the truth: except for the names of the ancestors, we almost didn't ask anything. Ansers has just been resurrected, and he obviously can't keep up with the rhythm of thinking, so I don't think there is anything to say except that the ancestor is a middle-aged and elderly man who speaks softly and is a bit bachelor.
"In short, the resurrection of other ancestors has also been scheduled." My tone was relaxed and cheerful. Anyway, this is one of the few good things that can be called "national celebration" since the two months of burnout. , can make the apostles of Xiling reach the point of "national celebration". In theory, except for the complete destruction of the forces on the abyss side, only the ancestors will be resurrected and return to their hometown.
At this time Ding Dong flew over and sat on my head with ease, the little one looked forward like an old general on the battlefield. Let me introduce to you: "The first resurrection test went so smoothly, it is inseparable from Ding Dong's credit..."
Everyone: "?"
I think it's time to introduce to everyone the magical medicine Dingdangzha, which clears away heat, relieves fire and treats cough... RS
