I feel that no matter how I adapt, I still can’t keep up with the logic of Abyss Xiling—as a group consciousness on the Internet, her way of thinking has a very strong tendency to be self-centered. A state that will not be disturbed by the real world. In the later period, she became the sole ruler of the abyss area. Various conditions caused her to formulate action plans based on her own needs when thinking, completely ignoring reality in the process world impact. But what if the real world actually starts interfering with her actions? This guy's method is very simple: the army of fallen apostles suppresses the situation, gods block and kill gods and Buddhas block and kill Buddha...
To sum up, excluding Abyss Xiling's innate planning ability and long-term calculations, I think this is simply a lawless brat—the brat itself is not scary, but the terrible thing is how many underlings this brat has million troops.
"When building a bridge, you need to sacrifice a lot of world order?" This sensitive question really made Sandora raise her eyebrows, "Is this why you started to destroy everywhere and fight on all sides?"
"It's the main reason." Abyss Xiling nodded without any pressure, as if it was a matter of course. "From some databases sent from the other side, I know the way to build a bridge: first, we need to let people in a considerable range The abyss is in a calm state. The easiest way is of course to destroy the world. After the world is annihilated, the corresponding abyss will of course disappear, and the new world is very stable, and they will reduce the turmoil in the void. Destroying the world according to certain rules is also Makes sense, I chose a node-like goal, each quadrant, so that I can get the greatest return at the least cost. In addition, a lot of world hearts are needed to write the launcher: this launcher must It can withstand very strong pollution. Before the two ends of the bridge are officially connected, the bridge is actually an unprecedented gate of the abyss. It is impossible to suppress this gate of the abyss with conventional means, even if the void creature suppresses it in person: this requires What matters is not the quality, but the quantity, and there must be enough and a lot of things to make consumables. The heart of the world is something with a high degree of information entanglement, just like a high-density neutralizer, they cover the entire universe from birth to death All information evolves, just like the index directory and mirror image file of all things in the universe. I strip them from concrete things, restore them to an abstract state, and then recompile them into entities—this work is still in progress, but it has It's nearing completion, and soon I'll be able to build the starter."
"What the hell..." I choked out three words, and I didn't know what to say later. When Abyss Xiling described the "Great Cause" and the bright future after the success of "Great Cause" to myself, I never felt that this plan was useful. What's wrong, and I was excited to hear that this plan can increase the stability of the void: I have to say that this thing is really tempting, and everyone living in an orderly environment can't resist, but I I never thought that the upfront cost it required would be like this!
Using countless worlds as sacrifices to appease the void, and then using the same sacrifices to create bridges, this process makes people think of "surgery". This is equivalent to opening a knife on Void, and needs anesthesia and disinfection of the scalpel in advance, but the anesthesia method used by Abyss Xiling is a bit too sharp: if her bottle of medical alcohol goes down, then I don’t know how many universes will turn off the lights .
It can only be said that thanks to the quick response of the Protoss and the Empire, at least many worlds were saved when the other party collected the Heart of the World, otherwise God knows how many universes this lawless guy will implicate in order to revive her empire!
"Look, your expression says it all," Abyss Xiling looked into my eyes, "Neither you nor the Protoss will agree with my approach. Only by doing it suddenly at the beginning can I collect enough If the 'material' of the material is leaked in advance, I am afraid that you will interfere with me at all costs."
Sandora snorted: "Of course, your great cause sounds very exciting, but if it is at the expense of the existing world order, what is the difference with the abyss itself? No matter how many phenomena there are in the abyss, It’s just that the imperial army and the Protoss have worked a little harder, not to mention that even if your great cause is successful, it is impossible to fundamentally eliminate the phenomenon of the abyss, and things that treat the symptoms but not the root cause do not make much sense in my opinion.”
Abyss Xiling patiently waited for Sandora to finish, and then said unhurriedly: "My great cause really cannot fundamentally eliminate the phenomenon of the abyss, but at least I can make the cataclysm of the void more gentle."
Sandora and I said in unison: "Is this related to the catastrophe?"
Void Cataclysm!
Abyss Xiling didn't mention it, I almost forgot: she had been emphasizing that the "great cause" must be completed before the void cataclysm, which shows that her "great cause" is linked to the void cataclysm, but just now Sandora and I both Immersed in the overwhelming amount of information, both of them almost forgot about it.
Abyss Xiling nodded: "You should have observed some abnormal phenomenon inside the gate of the abyss, right?"
"You mean the discontinuous zone?" Sandora leaned forward, "According to your model, the bottom of the abyss gate is not the abyss lair, but a special 'void structure', then this discontinuous zone Which part of the model does it correspond to?"
"It doesn't correspond to any part, it's just the 'stress' of the void," the indifferent smile on Abyss Xiling's face finally receded, and his expression became serious, "Of course, it's different from the stress in common sense, I just base it on The effect of the effect is named so casually. Everyone here knows the zeroing property of the void, so we can grade the zeroing behavior according to the intensity. The simplest and gentlest zeroing is natural evolution: the universe is born and died, and the natural annihilation The process is the gentlest return to zero. The abyss is more ferocious than natural evolution. By directly destroying the universe of order to restore the calm state of the void, it is the abyss. Everyone thought that the abyss was already the most ferocious thing in the void , and now we see a third type of zeroing that is even more ferocious than that... Full disk formatting, that is, a discontinuity band, which arises from the middle of the 'specific structure' and spreads to both sides of the void at the same time, I don't know what the hell this thing is Is it infinite, but if your model is correct, these two discontinuities are enough to destroy everything, they will reset everything, and directly restore the void to a 'clean' state where there is nothing."
Even Harlan, who has always been steady, couldn't help exclaiming: "No one is spared?"
The expression on Abyss Xiling's face is unprecedentedly solemn: "Only void creatures and individuals who directly receive the radiation of void creatures' power can be spared, because these two are equivalent to the void itself and the variants of the void, no matter what the form of expression is, the void will not think They are 'non-zero individuals' and no one is spared except these lucky ones."
I couldn't help swallowing hard: "Void creatures can understand... what does 'gaining void creature power radiation' specifically refer to? We have understood before that after the cataclysm, all worlds that were connected to void creatures survived..."
"That should be the result of the success of the 'Great Cause'." Abyss Xiling looked into my eyes, "If the Great Cause fails, the cataclysm will explode at full strength, and its destruction process is extremely ruthless. 'Acquire Void Biopower Radiation' It’s my way of saying, I don’t know how you describe this process, but according to my standard, it is: under the disturbance of the information of void creatures, there will be mutations, special powers or affinity for the void, the most obvious manifestation is Being able to be directly in the void without protection from external objects is as comfortable and harmless as a baby returning to the cradle. Only by meeting this standard can it be proved that an individual has become a member of the void and can be immune to the cleaning process of the void."
I feel my muscles are slowly tensing, and a chill hits my heart.
"Affinity to the Void"—this feature is so familiar, isn't this the state before the apotheosis
I judge according to this standard, so the people around me at present, such as Sandora and Qianqian, this part does have void affinity at present, so they are exempt, and then the Royal Fleet... Maybe they can One-tenth or even less survived, and further down are the main army at all levels and ordinary soldiers. They can only communicate with void creatures through the spiritual network, and the information they get is very little disturbance. Although they have begun to deify, the progress is very fast Slowly, I don't know if the promotion can be completed before the cataclysm of the void comes, but with the current situation, it is bound to be completely wiped out, and then go on...
The Salvation Army, New Eden, Civilization Community, Vidis, Tree Elves and Hessian tribes, and the people of Atlantis...
The entire macro world, almost the entire Shadow City, and everything in Avalon... was wiped out.
Perhaps the state of the protoss will be better, after all, all members have been deified, but the mortal world under their rule will inevitably perish without leaving behind.
"Because 'pardon' is a highly targeted thing, so the catastrophe full of capacity will only forgive those conscious individuals who have marks. According to my judgment, this 'conscious individual' refers to the ability to 'observe oneself, identify oneself, perceive oneself 'Smart creatures with this ability, so theoretically everything in front of you and me, including your usual house and everything you are familiar with, will be cleared away, and may even include the flesh of everyone present—the last survivor will become Things like floating spirits only have consciousness, no body, no possession, floating in the void, floating forever in a state without the concept of time. Because I am not sure how long it will take to restart the Genesis activity after the Void Cataclysm, It is not even certain that in the state of losing the concept of time, the consciousness of becoming a floating spirit can wait until the moment when the material world reappears, so this state should be eternal for those who survived."
"Is this the real Void Cataclysm?"
"This is the real void cataclysm."
I fell silent, and suddenly realized that a lot of reasons, motivations, and other things that Abyss Xiling told me before were not as important as the last piece of information: the only thing that can really tie everyone to a warship is the Cataclysm of the Void the truth.
Perhaps Abyss Xiling herself did not realize this as a cluster consciousness, and even felt that the truth of the Void Cataclysm was far less important than what she said before, so she didn't mention these things by the way until the end (from this point, it can be seen that she is really not A qualified lobbyist), but for me, for other people present, this is really a camel... Don't be straws, this is simply Mount Tai, what kind of camel can come with such a large amount of information? I can't take it anymore.
In fact, to be honest, it is very difficult for everyone to cooperate with Abyss Xiling: no matter what her motives are, no matter whether she is an "absolutely neutral" calculation program in essence, she has caused a lot of damage to the world of order. Huge destruction is a certain fact. Even if her great cause can bring a new order to the void, Sandora and I will not easily accept such an ally, because as Sandora said: Even if there is no bridge, the void will be destroyed. The abyss in the middle is not impossible to deal with, the big deal is that the empire and the protoss need to work harder, we can't easily compromise with the "enemy", but now...
I looked at the black-haired woman across the table, she was still sitting there calmly, with her weird big box beside her, and she herself was as elusive as that weird big box. The guy we once considered friends...
In fact, she destroyed countless worlds.
In fact, she has always been the sworn enemy of the world of order.
In fact, she is with the abyss.
In fact, she's saving everyone—through all three of these seemingly outrageous acts.
Just fucking.
"How can we be sure that your speculation about the catastrophe of the void is also correct?" Sandora finally broke the silence, "You have determined the 'two sides of the void' through theoretical research and case analysis, I can believe this, and I am willing to believe you You do have information on this at hand, but where did your knowledge of the Void Cataclysm come from? About this thing... the old empire doesn’t know, the Protoss doesn’t know, even we only know it from a channel that is almost loopholed, you And how to understand it so clearly, even know its exact power and pardon rules?"
Sandora's words woke me up from the state of leaving the soul: Yes, how did the abyss Xiling know
However, the woman across the table was not at all troubled by this question, as if she had calculated everything that would happen today: "Because the Void Cataclysm happened more than once, there are records from the last cataclysm - first in The other side is in my hands now."
I feel that the amount of information I have been exposed to today is comparable to the amount of information I have been exposed to in the past few years, so that I feel a little numb at this time, but fortunately I can still think smoothly: I noticed that she It is about "records that have survived to this day" rather than "people who have survived to this day". However, those who can survive the full version of the cataclysm and leave records are undoubtedly individuals like void creatures or true gods. These individuals are proper long-lived species That's right.
As for whether there will be void creatures like me on the other side, I don't care about this for the time being: Is there a big difference between having or not? Anyway, they are all a bunch of lazy bastards who are similar to themselves. At most, they are as old as Sister Sheila, and they are a bit crazy. Since the void is divided into two sides, it is only natural that there are void creatures on the other side.
Sister Sheila will definitely be excited if she knows about this, but whether she can get excited after knowing about the Void Cataclysm is a question.
I threw out my own question, but Abyss Xiling shook his head: "I don't know what's going on, even I can only unilaterally receive information from the other side when the conditions are the best Naturally, there is no way to ask about the situation there. In short, it is certain that the void cataclysm happened more than once, and each time only void creatures and their dependents survived, and they left behind details about the cataclysm and various ways to resist the cataclysm. A kind of conjecture - these materials should theoretically be available on both sides, but for some reason they are only preserved on the other side, and they are passed down from generation to generation like treasures. What can be confirmed now is the one on the other side after the cataclysm of the last season The recorder finally thought of a way to solve the disaster, which is to enhance the balance of the void, because the catastrophe of the void is a periodic phenomenon that occurs when the imbalance accumulates to a certain peak. As long as this unique problem is solved, this cycle will naturally It will disappear by itself, and the method is to build a bridge. However, the recorder over there has only had time to leave these records. The cataclysm of the void came before he successfully built the bridge... He may have worked hard, but it was destroyed in the end, but The bridge-building method left by him has been passed down and continues to this day. When our side only cares about making ourselves stronger and developing war technology, all the super civilizations and protoss on the other side are desperately building bridges and calling us Any civilization on this side that has the ability to hear their voices: Building bridges is not a project that can be completed alone by a certain civilization on the side of the void, it needs people on both sides to start together.”
"The old empire was lucky enough to hear this voice and responded..." Sandora seemed to smooth everything out, "but everything was too late, and the old empire was destroyed within a few hundred years after that. "
"Although it's inappropriate for a Xiling apostle to say these words," Harlan smiled wryly, "but those guys on the other side really contacted the civilization that was least able to take on the responsibility at the most inopportune time. They were able to contact The protoss are all good...the whole people in the empire were crazy, who cares about these things."
"Okay, that's all for the basics, and I'll talk about the details later when I have time," Abyss Xiling stood up and stretched in a rather humane way, expressing that he was also a little tired, "About the situation in the Abyss area and our You must also want to know about the split, and I will tell you when the time comes. Now give me an attitude: If you can confirm that everything I said is true, will you cooperate? Even if it is just this time, and then continue to fight. .”
I looked at Sandora, then at Harlan, and found that everyone had the same expression on their faces: Is there any choice
"Okay, let's cooperate this time." I reached out to Abyss Xiling, "Continue to fight in the future—if you're 'unscrupulous' again."
(Sure enough, the amount of information is too much. I will continue to fill in the remaining things that have not been filled in... I feel that I can be busy for a while.) RS
