Race, they face a problem that no one has ever faced before," Father God leaned back in his seat, his thoughts drifting away, "They neither belong to the abyss, but are also enemies of order."
"Is the situation really that serious?" I felt incredible.
"Until ten minutes ago, I didn't expect so much." Father God smiled slightly, "I have never directly asked about the fallen apostles. This has been left to the children.
Therefore, I don’t know much about them. In my impression, I confused them with the regular abyss mutants, but now it seems that I need to pay more attention to them. According to you, the fallen apostles are not
Those completely mutated crazy individuals still have reason and are still affected by the abyss. The reason for this period is probably due to the powerful vitality and self-purification ability of the Xiling Apostles. Your psionic energy can continuously neutralize the abyss.
But it is not powerful enough to annihilate it directly like the void, so the two forces continue to conflict, compromise and transform each other, and finally produce the unprecedented mutation of the fallen apostle. Now I am basically certain that they cannot be inside the gate of the abyss.
They can't survive in a world of absolute order... Well, that's not true. They can survive in a world of order, but as time goes by, the world of order will eventually be transformed by them into a weird environment that suits their racial characteristics."
Father God paused, as if giving me time to understand these questions, and then continued, "You yourself also mentioned that you have a group of abyssal fleets under your command, and they are stationed independently, because when they gather together, they will
It will have a certain impact on the surrounding environment. I guess this must be a passive phenomenon. And as their number of individuals increases and their density increases, this impact will become more and more obvious. In your empire, the number of abyssal fleets is ultimately limited.
And they have been purified more or less, so their influence will not cause any trouble. You can even ignore this small problem, but for the fallen apostle camp... they need a more twisted and chaotic world. They transform
The world, but also dependent on that world, this is probably a process of mutual influence."
"So... they need to create a new 'order' for themselves..." I understood a little bit.
"If a race wants to survive and develop, it will transform its environment." Father God's tone was as unhurried as ever, "But all races that have appeared in the past, including the original ones and the gods or those created by you,
, are all creatures on the order side. No matter how they transform and adapt to the world, they at least follow the premise of 'order'. Even if they destroy their own world, they do so while following the rules of order. Therefore, the world
It is still the world, and the existing templates and void quadrants will not be affected by the activities of these races, but the fallen apostles are an unprecedented exception. Their demands on the world are destined to exceed the limits that the 'order' can tolerate.
Any kind of world template is not suitable for the survival of the fallen apostle species, so as long as they are still developing, there must... be a template that meets their requirements. Or even a Void Quadrant that meets their requirements."
I felt suddenly enlightened, but more importantly, I was deeply shocked: "Wait a minute, if this hypothesis is true...are they going to create a new world model out of thin air? Or even the Void Quadrant?"
"The possibility of the latter is very high," Father God nodded, "I don't know if you have thought about it. The fallen apostles would not choose such a mild strategy as 'reforming the world one by one'. That is because the existing order of the world is
There is a basic framework. If the fallen apostles were to transform one by one, it would inevitably cause huge damage to the basic framework. According to my guess, the life span of each universe in their territory should be extremely short. You force a world of order to survive in the high-concentration abyss.
Orderly operation under the influence of the fallen apostles will consume the world hundreds of times. Therefore, their territory is probably the most unstable, and a large number of universes will die prematurely due to the influence of the fallen apostles at any time. They must change this situation, so they create a
It is important to have a world model that is inherently integrated with the abyss.”
"Is this...possible?"
"It's very difficult. I don't even know where to start. But if the fallen apostles have been studying this matter for tens of thousands of years, they may have found a way. The following are all my guesses. Oh, of course, the above is also true. I
It is impossible to guess this kind of twisted world by just changing the template. All parameters determined by the world template are within the order framework. This is a tree structure. The world template only occupies the middle level in this tree structure. It is
The word 'Order' is completely controlled, and the level above it...is the Void Quadrant. Only the Void Quadrant level can determine some more fundamental things."
"So you guess that they are going to attack the Void Quadrant?" I felt like I could hardly keep up with Father God. "Indeed... their great cause may be such a whimsical thing. They draw from various worlds.
Key items are used to destroy the universe in ritual order, but we have never concluded any rules from it, because no one has thought of the ultimate goal of the fallen apostles to such a bizarre level."
"Start with the Void Quadrant. This 'start' is very useful." Father God closed his eyes slightly and pondered for a few seconds. "It is unimaginable to create a Void Quadrant out of thin air. If I don't understand the nature of the void,
Wrong, then only three people can do it."
I was shocked that there were such great people in the world: "Which three?!"
Father God glanced at me silently: "That's wrong, now it's two and a half."
Me: "?" But I soon understood what was going on. In fact, just go by the Void Bull
, I’m afraid half doesn’t count, saying two and a half is probably a kind of psychological comfort. Now one thing is certain, God the Father and King Huron...the power is so powerful that it’s hard to look directly at it! This thing in the Void Quadrant...
...Could it be that the two elders made the plan conveniently for the convenience of allocating houses to households in those days when history is no longer available?
"Ahem, it's not that serious. I just said I could do it, but I didn't really do it." Father God heard my guess and immediately coughed twice, "I had such a grand plan with Sheila before, but then I
Both of them felt that this was too overwhelming, so they didn’t do it. I just wanted to make one point: opening up the void quadrant out of thin air is impossible for ordinary races under void creatures. Absolutely, definitely, 100%
Ten thousand, something that is impossible due to the setting——"
Father God paused for three seconds, and then added the second half of the sentence as if he was breathing heavily: "But there is a loophole."
Me: "..." Can you hold your breath for once and say it out?
"This loophole is: Ordinary races can attack the existing Void Quadrant. In this way, they bypass the restriction that 'ordinary races cannot create any products equivalent to the Void', because they only do things to existing items created by the Void.
Just click the correction button.”
A flash of lightning flashed across my mind. If Father God's inferences from just now are true, then... what the grandsons of the fallen apostles are going to do is far more unscrupulous than imagined, damn!
"They are very likely to distort an existing void quadrant so that they can normally produce a universe that meets their requirements. From then on, more deformed worlds similar to the universe they live in will continue to appear in the void - but
For them, that kind of world is normal - and there is no risk of premature death in these deformed worlds. The ultimate goal of the fallen apostles is to make deformed individuals like themselves a matter of course. They want to take the place of the ordered world.
At least it will replace a position in the Void Quadrant. But considering the expansion nature of Xiling Apostle..."
"As long as one of them succeeds, they will start to distort every void quadrant..." I felt my forehead twitching, "In this process, the world that will be exterminated is not a single one, or even a pile, but a quadrant.
Yes! There are only more than twenty quadrants in the entire void!"
"So far, everything is just an inference, isn't it?" Father God was still able to smile like that, and then he chuckled and scratched his hair, "Hey, tell me how we jumped all the way to
On such a far-reaching topic?”
I looked at Father God, and a feeling of powerlessness from the bottom of my heart suddenly came to my heart. This calm attitude...
But this sigh only lasted for a few seconds, because he had to understand that it was unbelievable that Father God looked harmless to humans and animals. Behind his kind smile like the second brother next door.
What is hidden is the experience and wisdom that you can never fathom. Perhaps the real and ultimate wisdom should be the master in front of you. It is true that as he said, everything before was just a guess. But this guess is at least logical.
,correct.
I have always overlooked one point: although the fallen apostles are ferocious, they are a race caught between the cracks. They reject order, but cannot be accepted by the abyss. Currently, there is no place for them in the existing realm of the void. Their world is twisted and twisted.
Deformed, in an intermediate state between order and chaos, and if they want to expand and develop, and even hold the "ambition" of returning the empire to the apex of the void, they will inevitably spread their deformities to every corner of the void, and let
Abnormality becomes the "justice" in the void. So, what other act of seeking death can be more worthy of such a bullshit name as "great cause" than attacking the void quadrant?
I don't blame myself for not realizing the "crack" status of the fallen apostles until now. After all, although the new empire now has a group of abyssalized troops, they are also very different from the pure fallen apostles. They are small in number, orderly, and are also known by Xiao.
Snow has been purified in batches once, and the racial characteristics of the fallen apostles have been almost neutralized on them, so much so that even Sandora has not noticed the fact that the fallen apostles are completely different from the Xiling apostles in terms of species nature.
"Even if there is a one-tenth chance that these speculations are true, we cannot sit idly by and ignore them," Father God thought, "If they really have the ability to attack the Void Quadrant, then once their 'great cause' succeeds, they may
It's really difficult to deal with... Although the power of the Gods is strong, the void is infinitely vast. When the deformed power spreads to the entire quadrant, even I can't control the situation. Now it seems that the time for them to start their 'great cause' is really
It's just right. You also know that in the hundreds of years from now, the abyss gates in the void will once again enter the active period, and the divine expedition is about to begin. In this way, with the convenience of the abyss activity cycle, they will be able to solve it.
The biggest threat - I estimate that in their original plan, the Gods were probably the only threat to their 'great cause'. The emergence of the new empire should be unexpected by the fallen apostles. Let's see now, is this an accident of yours?
It’s enough to make their great cause come to nothing.”
I thought about it, and the core idea of these words should be: the Gods can't be counted on.
Of course, there is nothing to complain about. The expedition cycle of the Gods has been unstoppable for hundreds of millions of years. They regularly destroy the accumulated abyss power, and even many worlds use the moments when the Gods expeditionary army passes by to make soy sauce as a perpetual calendar -
—As accurate and eternal as Pandora’s height. Therefore, the gods can’t spare any manpower at this moment, and they have no temper at all. It’s just that they don’t have a temper. There are still many regrets. Maybe they can see what I’m thinking. Father God is very bachelor.
He spread his hands and said: "Of course, it seems that the threat of the fallen apostles is no less than the collective outbreak of the abyss, so I will try my best to prepare support. I hope you can try to hold them back. The further back, the better it will be for us.
."
I shook my head and put aside the fallen apostle thing for the time being: let's go home and talk to Sandora, she should have a longer-term perspective than me.
"What do you think about the civilization at the bottom of the abyss?"
This is also the indirect reason why we came here to meet Father God. In the beginning, the Protoss found this cosmic wreckage with signs of deep dive because they learned about the fourth civilization. Moreover, Father God himself was very concerned about the sudden appearance of the universe.
The mysterious civilization was also very concerned about it. When he heard me mention this matter, he nodded slightly: "The fourth civilization... you know, recently I also asked people to check all the archives of the Gods. At least in our records, there has never been any
This fourth civilization has appeared, and no signs of their existence have been discovered, so it is basically certain that they have been able to send messages to the world of order in the near future. And the first one to receive the message was the old empire back then -
-But that time was already after a series of extraordinary plans of the old empire had been implemented. You also know that period of history, because there were endless disputes about those experiments. At that time, the relationship between the God Realm and the old empire was somewhat stiff, and
…”
"And I'm afraid that those imperial emperors at that time no longer revealed anything related to Project
, just ignored the warnings of the gods and confidently studied the void. Now it seems that this mistake caused many chain effects. The fourth civilization showed signs tens of thousands of years ago, but because of the information isolation between the empire and the divine world at that time, it was not
Father God learned that until the old empire fell, this became a secret that had been hidden for tens of thousands of years. If the fourth civilization threatens the world of order, then we will undoubtedly lose the most precious opportunity.
"It's worth being vigilant, but it's hard to say whether it's an enemy or a friend," Father God said slowly, "When I just heard from you that a powerful civilization that was about to break out of the abyss appeared in the world of Order, I was also shocked.
, but after reading more information you sent me, I feel that this civilization is actually an 'order' race. The very depths of the abyss will show an abnormally calm state, and the deeper you go, the more obvious this calm state will be.
, then it is possible that there is a world of order at the bottom of it. But I am a little worried whether their 'order' is compatible with the 'order' here. From the black shuttle you have, and the en that I just learned about today
It can be seen from the -166 sample that at least the materials in their world are 'incompatible' with ours..."
I exhaled: "I can occasionally 'hear' voices coming from the other side, just like a cross-talk. They seem to be very curious about the situation on our side, and it seems that the intelligence they have is no better than ours.
Many. The detector technology of the Fourth Civilization is more advanced than that of the Empire, but I am afraid that it will not reach the level of manned cross-border crossing for a long time. Do you think...could this be related to the nature of the void creatures? Can you hear me?
?”
Father God shrugged: "Of course I haven't heard of it, otherwise I would have started preparing tens of thousands of years ago. Void creatures are very strange. Although they are a race, each individual has completely different properties and abilities. We
I figured out this rule a long time ago..."
I glanced at him sideways: "Just you and the eldest sister, do you need to summarize things that can be known by exchanging business cards?"
Father God: "...Doesn't it sound high-end to say so? Moreover, I have been entangled with Sheila for a long time, and I seem to be a little influenced by her."
"For example, always emphasizing the population problem of the Void Clan, and blatantly calling the chat between the two of them a people's congress of the whole race?"
Father God looked over seriously: "Do you dare to speak without going off topic?"
I giggled, and felt a little disappointed: It seems that I can't get experience from the two seniors when I can reach the bottom of the abyss. This is a problem that I can solve by myself, but for now, I have to rely on
With my own experience to figure this out, I might as well study which came first, the egg or the chicken.
Just when Father God and I were both in a daze... thinking state, a somewhat unfamiliar little girl's voice suddenly came from the side: "Dad!"
For various reasons, when I heard this word, I subconsciously wanted to agree. Fortunately, before I spoke, I suddenly realized that this did not seem to be the voice of my naughty child. I turned around and saw, as expected: standing not far away was a man.
The little girl with a little more rice is not from her own family - she is from Father God's family.
Father God looked stunned: "Cindia? Why are you here?"
The little girl puffed up her chest and said openly: "I slipped out of the house! Because my mother is cooking today!"
