I seemed to have heard a rather difficult to understand statement, and couldn't help but look at Tavel curiously: "Where? The former Fifteen Days Area?"
Tavel and Sivis couldn't help but look helpless at the same time: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
I chuckled twice: "Isn't this just to adjust the atmosphere...Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, what do you mean?"
Sivis took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. For the first time, I saw an extremely shaken and even doubtful expression on the face of this female adjutant who was always calm. It seemed that she didn't believe in herself.
What is about to be said: "Your Majesty, any civilization should have a birthplace. Even the gods and Xiling apostles have their original world of origin. You should understand this, right?"
I nodded: "Well, everything returns to the mother's womb..."
Sivis: "...Your Majesty's summary is quite intuitive. That's it. In the core of this meteorite, there is a piece of material from my hometown wrapped in it. The in-depth analysis of it is not over yet. It is very likely that it is just
They seem to have similar properties, but...theoretically, the matter in any world will carry the registration information of its place of origin. Everything in the world is in a registration table, even if it is exactly the same thing in the two worlds, such as the same
For iron elements, their unique signature codes can actually be found. Once this signature code is determined, the source of the unknown material in the meteorite can be determined. Judging from the current progress, the probability that it comes from the home world is extremely high."
I nodded. I know this. Every elementary particle in every world carries the imprint of this world. Even if such elementary particles are equally widespread in other worlds, they can still be distinguished. This is the world information theory.
One of the foundations is also the "safety wall" that ensures that there will be no fatal collisions between worlds in the void that are so similar that they can even be called parallel universes. It is precisely because of this that there are no illegal crossings through normal void navigation.
will be banned: individuals who do not travel through the void will cause foreign matter (or things other than matter) to contaminate the underlying information of other worlds after traveling through the world, just like casually decompressing a code of unknown origin into the system
Just like the market, everything may be fine in the short term, but sooner or later these external information will reduce the stability of the system - that is, the world.
Based on the "registry" information of all things in the world, we can determine which universe a common substance comes from - even if it is widely distributed in all universes, it cannot escape the scanning of the underlying information.
"Seventy percent of its underlying information has been scanned now," Tavel looked at the meteorite sample floating on the anti-gravity platform, his eyes extremely complex, "Theoretically, it can be determined to this extent.
Is matter the product of a certain universe? But... this is simply impossible. The home world... has been destroyed long ago. It is the kind of complete destruction that leaves no residue - in theory, this is
."
"The hometown world you are talking about..." I looked at Tavel and Sivis, and then at Sandora beside me who looked thoughtful and seemed to be quite touched. "It is the one created by the Xiling Apostle.
world?"
I know more or less the history of the Xiling Apostles. This super-powerful race that is now ranked third in the void has an extraordinary origin. They are not born naturally, but were created by an older and more mysterious race.
The race that originally created them may only be considered an ordinary civilization in the eyes of today's Xiling Empire. Its technical strength is probably only a little better than that of the Fiyali people who have just mastered the void navigation technology, but their greatest achievement is to give them
The unprecedented evolutionary ability of the first generation of Xiling Apostles and the indomitable iron will. Driven by the advantages of these two races, the Xiling Apostles have reached their current heights. Now that Sivis mentioned his home world, my first reaction was that they were
A place created.
"When we were created, our home world had been destroyed. Theoretically, this is the case," Tavel said slowly, "We are all new apostles, but some basic information about our home world is used as core memory.
It is stored in the memory core of each Xiling Apostle from generation to generation, so the subordinates know more or less about the situation in the home world. The Xiling Apostle was created in the middle period of the Great Escape. Based on the scattered information currently retained, it is deduced that the first generation of Xiling Apostle,
That is, the original body was born on a lonely doomsday ark. It was the most critical moment for the entire civilization..."
I have heard about this history, but I did not ask about it in detail at the time. Now, facing a piece of material fragments that may come from their home world, Tavel and Sivis recounted the somewhat damaged history in the core of their memories.
Come.
The story begins long before the birth of the Xiling Apostle. At that time, the word "Xiling" was not even a meaningful word. The ancient race that originally created the Xiling Apostle did not have a clear name at the time. It is only now that it has a clear name.
We gave them the title of "Xiling people". They were just an ordinary species at the beginning, calling themselves humans, exploring their own world and the starry sky above their heads. They once had religion, and later found the real way forward among the stars.
: It’s just such a race, an ordinary race that is almost the same as all the people in the macro world we have seen. Countless races are born and die every second in the void.
The process of the demise of this ancient civilization and their original motivation for creating the Xiling Apostle have been unable to be accurately verified over time. However, based on the few remaining memory fragments, Shanla and the others can determine that the creator encountered an abyss, and
Xiling Apostles were also created to deal with the Abyss.
However, by the time the Creator created the first generation of Apostles, their home world had already been completely destroyed by the Abyss.
Of course, we don’t have precise records about this point in time. Tavel just made this inference based on his own memory core: “According to the fragments in the original memory, all the information about the home world is based on archives and indoctrination knowledge.
, which means that the first generation of Xiling apostles can only understand the information of their home world through learning devices.
The only explanation is that when they were born, the Creator had been defeated by the Abyss and began to flee. The Primarch was created on the fleeing Ark."
"According to the core memory, before escaping from the home universe, the creator had already tried to create a brand new life that could resist the erosion of the abyss, which was the prototype of the original body. However, due to the difficulty, they did not wait until their homeland was destroyed and the whole family fled.
It was only then that we successfully created the first generation of Xiling Apostle," Sandora took over the topic and said slowly, "The original body is now in our research institute. You know that he is a semi-human being with many shortcomings.
Mechanical creatures, but when the creators fled their homeland, they could not even create such a primitive body. When the first primitive body that could be called the Apostle of Xiling opened his eyes, the Ark of Escape was already floating in the void.
For hundreds of years, things about the home world can only be instilled into the memory of the first generation of Xiling apostles in the form of data and concepts. This memory has been passed down for hundreds of millions of years, and it is still burning here - with
Bone-cutting hatred." Sandora said, pointing to her chest.
"In other words, Apostle Xiling has never seen his hometown..." I smoothed over this period of history and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is very ironic," Sivis sighed helplessly, "We store the information about our hometown in the deepest core of our memory, but our earliest individuals have only seen that place on the screen. We are
A group of races born on the Path of Exile, so we are always expanding the territory of the empire... The lesson of the creator is painful. We know how fragile a universe is, so the Xiling Apostle wants his military flag to occupy everything.
World. This is caused by a hereditary hatred of the abyss, and it is also caused by a subtle insecurity."
I really didn’t expect that Xiling Apostles would also have such a thing as “insecurity”. Their insecurity was really powerful. Because of this, they expanded their territory to one hundred and thirty in the old empire era.
Five districts, this is just like worrying about not having a house to live in, but ending up covering half of the city in one go...
"No one has ever seen my hometown world, but you can tell that that thing comes from my hometown?" I shook my head, pulling my thoughts back from the ancient times that could no longer be verified, and refocused on the huge meteorite sample in front of me.
, Tavel nodded: "Yes, although the customs and customs of the home world have been completely missing, we only clearly know what kind of characteristic code the materials in the home world should have. This may be the creator giving up and leaving.
The last part of the core memory input to the original body before leaving was probably out of their nostalgia for their hometown, and they also hope that the Xiling Apostles they created can remember the taste of their hometown."
"Just like the hometown that a wanderer puts in his luggage before leaving, remembering the appearance of his home world is far less important than remembering the 'smell' of his home world. Or so they think."
"Is this what the fallen apostles are robbing?" Xiaoxue saw that none of us were talking, so she shrunk and tugged on my sleeves and whispered, "They are still nostalgic?"
"Maybe there is a reason for this, but I think there is a more important meaning behind it," Sandora calmed down and said in a calm tone, "Xiling Apostle is a species that is more rational than emotional. Although we will also be attacked by people from our hometown.
was touched by the news, but before that, we acted more in line with the interests of the race. If there was no greater meaning, the fallen apostles would never launch a war for such a useless piece of ore. There must be something more behind these stones from their hometown.
Great meaning…”
I thought for a while and returned to my initial guess: "Maybe the original home of the Xiling people still exists? And that home universe hides a huge secret?"
"This is impossible!" This time, Tavel, Sivis and even Sandora all shouted in unison. Then they looked at each other and decided to let Sandora speak, "Arjun, do you know the Gate of the Abyss? How powerful is its destructive power? In the entire history that I know, if an abyss gate erupts, and there is no super civilization as powerful as the Xiling Apostles or the Star Realm Protoss to completely destroy it, then sooner or later it will be destroyed. The entire universe: This is just a matter of time. The Gate of the Abyss will never dissipate on its own. The creator began to go into exile, which means that the Gate of the Abyss in his home world is completely out of control. I even suspect that when they boarded the Ark , the hometown universe has begun to collapse. No matter how you think about it, the possibility of my hometown surviving to this day is zero, and the possibility of even a fragment remaining is zero."
"But we do have such a stone on hand. It came from your hometown." I pointed to the huge meteorite. Well, it actually refers to the small piece of dense material in the center of the meteorite. The meteorite itself did not come from the home universe. It came out, but I don’t know why. Its core is wrapped with a piece of material from the home universe.
Tavel didn't know how the two things came together. She initially guessed that material leaked out when her home universe was destroyed. Some kind of phenomenon similar to a flash in space caused the material in the meteorite to fall into other places. universe, but just now she herself overturned this conjecture: the formation age of the meteorite was confirmed to be no earlier than 20,000 years ago, and the special material at its core also left traces across the world at about the same time, that is, It is said that at least until 20,000 years ago, the special material in the core of the meteorite should have stayed in "home".
"Maybe we should look for those Fialli vendors and see where they found this."
"I'll take care of it now." Sivis nodded and got up to contact those magical Fialli people.
Tavel still frowned: "Your Majesty, maybe even if we find the source of the meteorite, it will not solve our problem. It was formed about 20,000 years ago: even if this means that our home world is still alive, and it was 20,000 years ago. Material is leaking to other worlds, but we have no way to trace the channel of material leakage, and therefore cannot find the coordinates of our home world. The space flash phenomenon cannot last that long, it will only appear for a moment, and then the two worlds will be reunited. No worries. That's the theory.
Tavel is right, but doing it is better than not doing it. I can see that even though he has been emphasizing the rational side of Xiling Apostle, after seeing this stone that may come from his hometown, even Sandora It seems a bit difficult to suppress the excitement in my heart: this has exceeded the issue of rationality and sensibility. This is a major event involving the origin of the Xiling Apostles. The Xiling Apostles’ hatred of the abyss, their innate war mission, and their constant The source of power for expansion and conquest. The source of all this comes from the hometown universe that was destroyed by the Gate of the Abyss. If there is anything in the world that can make the Xiling Apostles lose their sense of place, then it is really only this kind of thing from the hometown. News.
The emergence of a Primarch caused an uproar in the spiritual network of the New Empire, and today's bombshell is greater than the original Primarch at that time: the origin of Xiling Civilization may still survive, and the one remembered by all the Apostles
In my heart, my home that no one has really seen may still be alive!
Fortunately, Apostle Xiling did not have cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. Otherwise, do you know how many people would have died in just this short time...
Next, Tavel completed an in-depth scan of the meteorite and cut it. The dense material at the core of the meteorite was carefully separated. It looked dark, and it was impossible to tell whether it was metal or some kind of heavy element crystal: but these
It doesn't matter, what's important is that its origin is fascinating. The final result of the in-depth scan is exactly what I expected: it comes from the home world of the Xiling Apostle that I have never met before, and it is 100% consistent.
I knew that this bastard fate would not disappoint anyone. The only purpose of holding back my energy was to keep our family occupied every day. At this time, I suddenly felt that the clay tablet that the fox brought back last night was no longer a big deal.
Er: Compared to the origin of the Xiling Apostles, how big a deal can a piece of mud that has been buried on the earth for six thousand years have? It is just a few scattered records left from the Atlantean civilization.
Sivis was very efficient. Before the deep scanning and cutting work on Tavel's side was completed, the strange Queen Fiyali was brought to the headquarters in a hurry. I saw twenty people following her.
He was an unsmiling royal guard of Xiling, while Phyllis had a frightened look on her face. As soon as she saw me, she almost jumped up on the spot: "My plan to secretly buy an imperial ship is just a plan.
, it hasn’t turned into action yet, do you really need to do this?!"
Me: "..." It seems like there was some misunderstanding?
I coughed twice in embarrassment and asked casually: "What does it mean to buy an imperial ship secretly?"
Phyllis is so shrewd. In an instant, she knew that she was talking too fast. She looked up at the sky with hesitation: "The ceiling is so high today... So you didn't send these soldiers to arrest me and shoot me?"
I turned to look at the female adjutant: "... Sivis, what did you tell her when we contacted her just now?"
"Don't leave the residence, the emperor has summoned you," Sivis replied calmly. From her words, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her. "Maybe the imperial soldiers made a small mistake when they went to pick him up.
"
I thought about it and asked the imperial soldiers behind Phyllis to get out of the way: as the most unkind group of imperial soldiers, it would be a naked tragedy for the royal guards to deal with his race.
"Scared me..." Phyllis patted her chest exaggeratedly. Looking at the expression on her face, she really didn't know whether the fear was real or not. Only then did she have time to look around, so
He immediately recognized what was occupying the entire warehouse, "Ah! Isn't this my stone?"
"I came to talk to you about rocks," I pointed to the nearest gravity-free platform. There was also a small label suspended on the platform. This label was originally placed together with the meteorite samples and was left by the Philali people.
The identification tag below, "This thing..."
Phyllis immediately looked at me seriously, with the brilliance of an honest businessman on her face: "We don't return goods..."
