"If you're a man, you can reach a hundred floors!!"
Facing this Sky Tower, which has been tormenting us with various mysteries and anomalies, I made such an ambitious vow. Alaya was relatively honest after all, and immediately corrected me.
: "Brother, most of the people here are girls, and we are already on the 576th floor...".
: "..." Tell me, this is really strange. Natural idiots can sometimes be quite powerful in combat. Angel sister really hit the mark...
"Ahem, we won't consider the details." I coughed twice before Bingtis, the damaged goods, could say anything, and then turned to Alaya, "Start teleporting, and you can find a suitable floor. Speaking of this
How many floors does the tower have in total? Now it’s over 500 floors?”
"The number of floors is not fixed," Alaya said while carefully setting the crystal cluster transmission target. "This tower is more than thirty kilometers high in total, but the height of each floor is different, and the height of the Sky Tower is
The internal space is constantly changing, and even some floors with unknown functions will suddenly and randomly disappear - because I don't know what happened to these floors, I didn't take the risk of teleporting there. So I don't know how many floors there are here. I can only go there.
Those places where space is stable. Next we go to the 735th floor. This is the last focus of the entire magic energy array. According to the occult theory I have mastered, this focus should be a very critical place. It is better than all the previous ones.
Focus is key.”
After Alaya finished speaking, the crystal cluster had started teleportation. Once again, everyone came to another unfamiliar area.
Since entering this Sky Tower, everyone seems to have been passing it around. There are strange things everywhere. The clues we are constantly discovering make us unable to stop exploring. There is almost no one in a fixed place.
When I stay on the floor for more than thirty minutes, I don't know when this kind of jumping back and forth will be over - the moment the teleportation started, the above-mentioned random thoughts popped up in my mind.
Then the turbulent light and shadow in front of me stabilized. I came back from my random thoughts and found that there was actually a starry sky in front of me.
At your feet is the crystalline ground with the characteristics of the Tower of the Sky, extending to an extremely wide distance. Behind you are the crystal clusters used for teleportation, still emitting a faint light, and the dome above is filled with twinkling stars and stars.
Spectacular nebula.
The huge image of the planet is slowly rotating around us, making a low buzzing sound.
What a blessing. What greeted us was not a neat line of elite soldiers from the old empire. Instead, we were greeted by a bunch of holographic images.
"Just now it was the primitive forest indoors. Now it has been replaced by a schematic diagram of outer space and galaxies." Sandora glanced around and said in an indifferent tone. She was already aware of the "surprises" frequently thrown out by the Sky Tower.
Immunity, but there was a bit of displeasure in her tone. She was the arrogant Queen of Xiling, but she was confused today, and she would definitely not be happy.
"What... what is this!!" A girl's exclamation suddenly sounded next to her. It was Sakina who couldn't help shouting. She pulled Sona and looked around in surprise. The sky was like nothing she had ever seen before.
The magnificent galaxies they can't see on the ground. I don't know if the space environment simulated on this floor of the Sky Tower is also the area of the universe where the mother star Gaia was located, but one thing is for sure, no matter what
This kind of space scenery is enough to make two half-dragon girls who have never known that the earth is a ball scream out in surprise.
This kind of magnificence and shock can inspire the instinctive wonder of any intelligent creature born under this starry sky. The universe itself is the most magnificent picture in the world - ahem, suddenly uncontrollably engaged in literature and art.
Got up.
"This is the universe you live in," my sister took a deep breath, as if to confirm that she was still in the tower and not in the vacuum of the universe. "Each of those shining stars is bigger than yours."
The growing earth is millions of times larger, and there are countless such stars in the real universe. These huge spheres around you are planets, and the home continent you live on is one of them. I can't explain to you what a star is.
and planets, in short it would be nice to know that this is the world you live in."
"Planet?" I originally thought that Sakina might not have the concept of "the earth is a ball", but I didn't expect that she would understand after a moment of confusion, "Oh, I know, those scholars have mentioned that the mother continent where all things exist is
It is actually spherical, and it revolves around the sun over and over again. I have been to the royal capital before, and I have seen an alchemy equipment called the 'Astronomical Observatory', which is how it is described."
"But compared with this thing..." Sona said while looking around, with an incredible look on her face, "There is no point in comparison at all. This is... the world? We live in such a magnificent... place
?”
"I can't imagine." After finally realizing the scale of "universe" and "planet", Sakina decisively showed a look of giving up, "Forget it, this is not something that two little mortals should think about, this is your genius.
You will care about the scale."
In fact, if I have time, I would like to give lessons to two half-dragon girls. After all, in my own living environment, I have not experienced a sense of superiority in knowledge for a long time. Unfortunately, it is obviously not the time now.
This floor of the Sky Tower is the most special floor we have explored so far, even more special than the previous indoor primeval forest. This is the only floor that is completely dominated by projection. Nothing is stored here, and there is no
Function, it is a complete screening room, the only purpose of its existence is to show us a starry sky, and this screening room is built on the last focus of the entire magic energy matrix: According to Alaya's explanation, the magic energy focus is
The place with the highest energy index in the entire matrix is also the most convenient place to control the entire matrix. Setting up a screening room in such a key place will make the images here very intriguing. The silly cat angel has already flown to the edge of the projection.
Reading the arcane flow here, hoping to find the secrets behind these images, Sandora and I studied the projections of the planets next to us. They look very interesting, and... there are some very interesting details.
.
Extremely high-precision illusions form everything in all directions, making this layer feel like standing on a huge stone platform floating in the universe, with the twinkling starry sky above your head and surrounded by huge slowly moving giant objects.
Planet images, all these make this boulder platform full of mysterious atmosphere. Each of those huge planet images are about the same size. The radius is about two or three meters, and the distance between them is no more than 20 meters, which shows that
The planet images here are not to scale. They may be schematic diagrams, or simply each one is a complete model, used to show the past scenery of the 15th Sky District of the old empire - I noticed these planets from the first sight.
The parent star Gaia was seen in the model, which led to this conjecture.
Until now, I am not surprised at all when I see the holographic projection of the mother star Gaia appearing in the Sky Tower.
The model of the home star Gaia recently floated another planet that looked a bit strange. But after carefully identifying its details and comparing several maps at hand, we finally confirmed that this planet is the mother continent of this world.
The planet you are on.
There are still several lifelike planet models floating in the distance. One of them is an ecological planet, and the others are barren, with only mottled cracks or hot magma on the surface. Some planets are surrounded by satellites or rubble rings.
bring.
All these planet models are slowly rotating in concentric orbits, and they present a schematic diagram of a star system.
"If we understand it in a straightforward way, this model system shows that at a certain period, the parent star Gaia and the parent continent planet of this world were in the same star system." Sandora said, "The other surrounding planets should be that
There are other planets in the same star system of the same age. One of them also has life."
"But in fact, I have launched a probe to confirm that there are no other planets in the star system where the parent continent planet is located."
The mother continent planet, of course, refers to the planet where Sakina and Sona were born and raised. After coming to this world, we really didn’t care about the cosmic environment of this planet: after all, there are no threats in this world.
For space targets, Sandora will not waste energy scanning empty space. However, now, we need to understand the state of space nearby. The mother continent planet is located in a lonely star system environment, where there is an orange
In the star system of the yellow sun, there is only one planet and an asteroid belt on the outer edge. It is considered a "shabby" group in the celestial body system where life can reproduce. However, the large celestial body model in front of us shows that the mother continent planet and the mother planet are
The star Gaia is right next to it, and there are many other planets around it - where have all these planets gone?
Is the parent star Gaia on this model the one in the shadow space, or the one in the fragmented space fragments?
The answer seems to be the latter, but now I am not sure about my guess.
"The Observatory, the name of this floor is the Observatory." The sound of flapping wings came to my ears, and Alaya landed lightly next to me. "The system marked that this is the space scene at the end of the old empire."
"In other words, in the old empire era, the home star Gaia was in such a planetary system?" Sandora connected the spiritual connection and contacted the shadow space. "Gaia, I want to ask you something. Do you remember it?"
Do you remember what kind of environment the parent star was in back then? I mean, how many planets were there in the star system you were in back then? What were the identification characteristics of the sun there?"
Gaia responded immediately: "Without a companion planet, my memory bank is blank in terms of relevant information."
"Gaia doesn't remember being adjacent to any planets," Sandora glanced at us, "which means that the celestial model in front of us may show a copy of the mother star in the fifteenth sky area. In the old empire era,
This replica is located near the parent planet. An accident must have occurred later, causing space distortion in the entire star system. Except for the parent planet that survived, all the planets including the replica of the parent star became deformed.
It became the 'Lost World'. This is all I can deduce based on the current information."
"But there are still a lot of gaps, aren't there?" Sister spread her hands, "What is this Sky Tower, and the name Alaya can be seen everywhere here. If there is only one Alaya, then this place must be
It was the construction of the old empire, and there is something wrong with your memory bank."
"Until today, I was still confident in my memory core." Sandora tugged at the corner of her mouth and laughed helplessly at herself. Alaya blinked and whispered: "I have never been confident in this aspect.
So it’s not a big blow…”
This natural idiot is quite self-aware... But is it really possible that there is a problem with the memory core of the Xiling Apostle?! Rather than doubting this, I would rather believe that people on earth can solve the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships all over the world within twenty years!
At this time, Qianqian had completed her "expedition" and studied several planet models around her. She ran over and grabbed my sleeve: "Hey, Arjun, in fact, the home planet and shadow space on this model are
That home planet is also different."
Seeing that she had successfully attracted everyone's attention, Qian Qian became happy and announced her discovery: "Look, the home planet on this model does not have the buildings we are familiar with. On the home star Gaia in the shadow space
There are storage arrays, there are heavy factories. There are big things like weather controllers, but all the corresponding places on this model are blank wastelands. Isn't that a big difference?"
"Alas. We have discovered this a long time ago," Sandora waved her hand, "What does this difference mean?"
"There are other things," Qian Qian pointed to the holographic projection next to him, "Look, although the place corresponding to the facilities on the home planet in the shadow space is a wasteland, there are other man-made objects near the wasteland. These
The area is enlarged with just a few clicks. There is a huge square here, a crystal tower, and something like a magic circle. They all look mysterious, right?"
Sandora's eyes lit up. She didn't pay attention to this detail at first: we just paid attention to the fact that the planet model in front of us closely matched the mother planet Gaia in terms of landforms, but we didn't notice any problems with the buildings on its surface.
Only when you are bored and wandering around will you notice these little details.
"Indeed... there are a large number of mysterious-looking buildings scattered on this planet model," Shandora zoomed in on the buildings Qianqian discovered, looked at the man-made objects there and said to herself, "Although it is still hard to see
function, but it may indeed be the mysterious side of the old empire. Wait, what is the corresponding place on the surface of our home star in the shadow space?"
"Wastelands, forests, all kinds of undeveloped areas." I just checked the pictures Gaia sent before and replied immediately.
Yes, there are wastelands and wild forests. There are large areas of undeveloped areas on the home planet Gaia. Just next to Gaia's storage array, there is a plain of wild grass growing wantonly - we have never known why that plain has not been destroyed.
Utilize. But now, on the planet model in front of us, the coordinates where the storage array is located are a barren grassland, and there is a crystal tower where the barren grassland should have been!
No one has ever paid attention to the undeveloped areas on the home planet before. I only thought that it was in the old empire era and that the ecological environment of the home star in the fifteenth sky area was good. However, after comparing it with the planet model in front of me, I felt that it was inconsistent.
The child appeared.
"I seem to have thought of something," Lin Xue looked thoughtful, "On the home star model in front of me, there are only buildings on the mysterious side, and the corresponding areas on the technology side are all wastelands. On the home star in the shadow space, the two overlap.
The place is just the opposite... If you merge the two together..." Lin Xue said, merging the holographic projection of the home star sent by Gaia with the projection in front of us, replacing the abnormal appearance of the two.
Empty area.
A brand new home planet appears before our eyes.
Seventy percent of the area on the surface of the astrological sphere remains unchanged and is put together tightly, while the other areas with artificial facilities are scattered and formed into large and neatly planned buildings.
There is almost no conflict between the mysterious-style crystal buildings and the technologically-rich steel city. They intersect with each other in an astonishingly precise manner. In some places where they overlap, the buildings also cleverly avoid each other's edges.
It's almost like...
"It's printed in advance and then cut into pieces like a puzzle." Sandora said, turning to look at Alaya.
"Some...familiar." The angel sister finally stopped expressing that she had no memory. Although she still couldn't remember the specific things, she already had a sense of familiarity. She couldn't help but reach out and touch an area on the new holographic projection.
, after the image is enlarged, what appears before our eyes is a magnificent fortress built alternately with silver-white metal and crystal.
In the square in front of the fortress, there are two rows of angel sculptures neatly arranged.
"This is the place where angels are made." Alaya said vaguely, "Yes, I was born, I should have a place to be born... I was born on my mother planet, there must be a place there
Angel Factory. But there is none on the surface of Gaia."
"The mother planet was split into two?" Lin Xue finally frowned and said the most bizarre but also the most exciting guess so far, "Half is the technological side and half is the mysterious side?"
"A probe has sent information from other lost worlds." At this moment, Sandora finally got the first batch of news from the probe, and everyone almost shouted in unison: "Let us take a look!
"
Not all probes have arrived at their destinations, but many have been in place. They are now distributed in more than twenty lost worlds and have sent back to us the footage they captured.
Continents floating in the universe, fragmented island chains in the sky, lakes in the clouds, undulating towers in magma lakes, ancient cities shrouded in fog...these lost worlds are really rich and colorful.
Then, about one-third of the lost worlds found their corresponding locations on the home planet.
As Qian Qian guessed, there are many lost worlds that cannot correspond to the home planet. However, soon, we found suspected corresponding locations on the projections of the surrounding planets.
The previous conjectures have been confirmed one by one. The only question left now is how the connection between the mother star in the shadow space and the broken mother star in this edge world is.
"Hey, Brother Jun," Alaya suddenly spoke out while I was watching the real-time footage from the probe, "I've made a big discovery."
"Um?"
The angel sister organized her words and said after a few seconds: "There may be two Sky Towers..."
