"If it was Eamon who left those Kedarin crystals in Aiur - that would be appalling."
Artanis' eyes that shone with blue flames suddenly enlarged, and spots appeared on the skin under his white robe. This was a sign of extreme horror in the hearts of the protoss, which even caused goosebumps.
The civilization of the protoss is based on the understanding and use of Kedarin crystals. In terms of their understanding of Kedarin crystals, how can they possibly compare to the Xel'Naga who left these crystals behind.
If the Xel'Naga who once promoted the protoss was Amon, then he must know better than the protoss how to use these Kedarin crystals.
In this era, the influence of the Kedarin Crystal has spread across all aspects of the protoss civilization. The buildings, machinery and a considerable number of spacecraft of the protoss also rely on the energy drive provided by the psychic matrix, and the psychic matrix is based on the Kedarin Crystal.
.
But the Kedarin crystal was not created by the protoss.
"Kala -" The executive Selendis beside Artanis seemed to let out a scream. The scream was so weird that it seemed to her that it was not coming from him.
The significance of the Kedarin Crystal to the Protoss Empire goes deep into the social structure level, and is by no means the cornerstone of technology.
Speaking of Kedarin crystal, we have to mention the birth of Kara.
The meaning of Kedarin crystal in the Kalani language of the protoss is spiritual amplification, because this magical crystal can strengthen spiritual energy, awaken and amplify the innate spiritual connection of the protoss.
It was with the help of the Kedarin Crystal that Kass created what is now Kara - a great connection that connects the emotions and thoughts of all the protoss, ending the era of endless catastrophes between tribes and tribes, and also the world of the protoss empire.
The beginning of an era.
Kara is the one who unites the hearts of all the stars, so that there are no more differences, conflicts and wars between them, because they are each other.
Unity!
joint!
Unite!
Without Kara, there would be no Protoss Empire that prospered later.
The protoss in the protoss empire can never imagine a life without Kara, because since they were born, they have been accompanied by the blending and collision of countless emotional currents in the spiritual network. This comes from direct communication of thoughts, far more than words or
It is a clumsy expression of body movements.
Losing Kara means eternal loneliness, and loneliness is intolerable to them.
"History tells us that it was the great Kas who discovered and named the Kedarin crystals, and then used them to create Kara." Artanis admitted that even after reading the voice of revelation in the Second Hall of Revelation over and over again,
Without Augustus's reminder, it would have been difficult for him, or rather unwilling at all, to think about the possible hidden dangers in Kara.
Both the protoss' splendid civilization and Kara itself seem to be built on dangerous walls.
But Kara is pure and spotless, sacred and cannot be profaned. How could something go wrong with it? How could something go wrong with it? It absolutely cannot go wrong!
The ancestors of the Dark Templar were simply unwilling to join Kara, but they were treated as heretics and apostates and were brutally suppressed and purged. This shows Kara's status in the Protoss Empire. It is precisely because the Supreme Council believes that losing Kara will inevitably
Will cause the protoss to split again.
Artanis did not notice that there was a dryness in his spiritual language at this time: "Even in the most critical moment of the Protoss Empire, Kara has never abandoned our people."
In other words, if even Kara betrayed the eldest son of God, what else would they have?
This information is so explosive.
If Augustus had bluntly stated that Kara had huge hidden dangers before opening this hall of revelation but could not provide any substantive evidence, the friendship that has lasted for many years may not be able to withstand the test.
This would be considered an insult - joking about Kara would be seen as disrespectful to the protoss, or at the very least, disrespectful.
Among the protoss present, not only Artanis and Selendis were extremely shocked, but even Zeratul was silent for a moment. The Dark Templar only refused to join Kara because he was worried about losing himself, not because he discovered
Kara has a problem.
"You are too naive! Artanis!" Unexpectedly, the first person to speak out was not Augustus or Zeratul, but a brainworm who was technically only a teenager: "Since Eamon used the Lord
The hive mind and telepathic link controlled the primal zerg, why couldn't he use something similar to control the protoss?"
Augustus praised the brainworm in his heart: "Even a brainworm understands this truth."
"..." Brainworm opened his mouth, and when he saw Augustus glaring at him, he could only hold back the words "You look down on me."
"Augustus, this news is too shocking for us, and it is difficult to calm down..." Artanis felt a painful emotional turbulence in Kara, and the Templars who witnessed all this
None of them were willing to accept this fact, and even thought it was a mistake in interpretation.
At this time, the dizzy Artanis couldn't help but think that if Tassadar were here...he would know what to do.
Maybe Kara was not Eamon's tool to control the eldest son of God, but since the Kedarin crystal was left by Eamon, even if he had acted as a trick, it was still obvious to the protoss that they didn't even notice it.
?
As of now, this remains just speculation.
Kara's vast spiritual ocean is still pure and flawless, and even Rohana, the supreme protector, has never noticed anything strange. But no one dares to say that they understand every detail of Kara, which contains too many torrents of thoughts and wills of the stars.
Those who are not determined may even get lost in it.
As powerful as Aemon, he might be able to twist Kara just as he twisted the void.
Do they really know Kara well enough?
But it is absolutely impossible to abandon Kara just because of this.
If you want to permanently sever the connection between Kara and Kara, there is usually only one way to go, and that is to cut off the hair-like nerve bundles at the back of the head like the Dark Templar warriors of the Nerazim Protoss.
But leaving aside whether Artanis and others can accept this deviant approach, the nerve bundle is an innate organ for the protoss, just like the human nose and ears. To put it more seriously, the nerve bundle is an innate organ.
, that is no less than cutting off one's own foot.
"If you want to talk about your clan without Kara, it is simply boiling water and making ice." Zeratul whispered: "Now it seems that this may be both a gift and a curse."
Zeratul hasn't made it clear yet. He actually wants to say that your clan is just too dependent on Kara. In fact, even without Kara, you can still touch and feel each other.
But considering his status as a Dark Templar, this is hard to say.
Within the Durham Protoss, perhaps the Templars would naturally and objectively talk about Kara with the Dark Templar, but they would never allow the other party to "insult" it.
"It seems that your Creator still owes us a lot of answers." Augustus did not expect that this alone would allow people like Artanis to personally cut off the connection with Kara, but at least it gave them a reminder.
Be mentally prepared.
At this time, there was no need for Augustus to persuade Artanis to cut off his connection with Kara, because even then the possibility of success was low.
Even if Artanis was willing to believe Augustus, his subordinates would not accept it.
If the Supreme Council were still there, this would be a complete heresy and would be sent to Aden.
"The last Hall of Revelation is waiting for us. After that, maybe we can see the Xel'Naga."
It is precisely because Kara connects the thoughts and emotions of all the protoss. Once something goes wrong, it will definitely be an unprecedented disaster. This is also a complete collapse of faith, and the blow to the protoss family may be greater than Al's.
The fall will be even greater.
In other words, even if you just suspect that Kara may have a flaw, you must not make it public, otherwise it will definitely bring unprecedented panic.
Unless Amon really shows the ability to control Kara, the protoss would rather die than give up on Kara.
"Okay." Artanis had a lot on his mind and had nothing to say. He could have lied to himself and said it was just unfounded worries, but his heart still felt numb.
"No problem." Coralion also immediately expressed his position, saying that we listen to you.
At the moment, Augustus is also taking on the responsibility of a leader, to twist these people into a rope. Durham and the Purifier Star Spirits are seemingly inseparable and wary of each other. Only his words are what they are willing to listen to.
Immediately, Artanis once again led the Dallam protoss to take the lead towards the last hall of revelation, while the Tyranid Empire and the Purifier army still followed behind.
At this time, the mentality of the three parties has undergone certain changes. Artanis is eager to find the truth, while Augustus is always on guard against them being controlled by Eamon.
If Artanis discovers there is a problem with Kara, Aamon may take control of Kara in advance.
As for the Purifier protoss, no one except Augustus may know what they are thinking. Artanis' Dalam protoss may still want to have a good relationship with the Purifiers, but basically they can only meet one person.
Nose gray.
Although everyone has their own thoughts, the speed of advancement has not slowed down.
As we go deeper and deeper, more and more magnificent buildings gather in the Guiyi Temple. Beautiful swirling patterns are spread all over the giant stone pillars like towering trees, as natural and beautiful as the veins on the leaves. From time to time, they want to
Crossing the majestic stone bridge spanning the two lost cities of Xel'Naga, there is an abyss beneath the stone bridge.
Huge statues like giants stand on both sides of the road, and giant spear-like crystals of various colors are inserted diagonally on both sides of the road, like spears of light falling from the sky.
Urna is the beginning of life, the starting point of the universe, and everything seems to contain life.
On the way forward, Augustus encountered more hybrids than before. At this time, the intention of Aemon's minions was already obvious, which was to destroy them before Augustus arrived.
The Third Hall of Revelation.
Surrounding the huge courtyard and corridor outside the third Hall of Revelation, the battle was particularly fierce. The Tyranid Empire, which had occupied the high-altitude orbit of Urna, the Purifiers and the Dallam fleet directly penetrated the Guiyi Temple and attacked directly.
A large number of reinforcements were sent to this place.
With an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and firepower, the hybrid troops were quickly repelled. The ground was covered with tragic traces of the battle, and puffs of black smoke obscured the sky. Thousands of human beings
The Protoss and Protoss armies have taken control of most areas of the Temple of Unity.
But Artanis noticed that no matter how many troops Dallam sent, the Terran Empire and Purifiers increased their troops three times.
But if humans and Purifiers are preparing to compete with Dallam for control of Urna, Artanis believes that with the character of Augustus and Coralion, they will never do that.
If that were the case, Augustus wouldn't have to tell Durham the coordinates of Urna.
"The Third Hall of Revelation." When Augustus arrived in front of this huge altar, both the Terran Empire and the Purifiers had deployed at least nine legions with over ten thousand people to the place.
When the third Hall of Revelation opened, Zeratul read the Xel'Naga's revelations on behalf of the depressed Dallam protoss:
"The Xel'Naga are in front of us...in the Palace of Ascension...they will wake up when the two destined races come. And the elders among them will sacrifice their lives for new life.
They infuse their essence into it.”
"And the pure essence and pure form will be reborn as Xel'Naga, the guardian of endless reincarnation."
"Essence!" Dehaka couldn't understand the mural on the Hall of Revelation, but he still keenly grasped the key words in Zeratul's words:
"Where is the essence?"
"Perhaps this is how the Xel'Naga continue their race." Augustus looked at Artanis and Zeratul and said, "In other words, there must be two races among us who will inherit the Xel'Naga.
power and become the new creator.”
"But after that, what should they do - restart the universe again and enter the next reincarnation?" Renault said: "But what the hell is going on? Don't they let us continue to live?"
"So, we are just a tool for the Xel'Naga to reproduce life." Tychus cursed: "Fuck, is it none of my business whether we live or not?"
"In other words, I will become the new god?" Brainworm Abba Abba said these two words, his eyes shining brightly.
"I'm afraid even then, you can't do whatever you want." Augustus looked at the brainworm: "As you can see, Xel'Naga has many rules to abide by."
"Even if you become the new Xel'Naga, I'm afraid you will also be a second Emon."
The naughty kid has become the Creator, so I’m afraid he’s not going to cause chaos.
And it didn't say that you want to become a Xel'naga. Augustus still has the final say on this matter, and Aurus won't be of any use.
Neither Augustus nor Tassadar would allow anyone who poses a threat to humans and protoss to become a new Xel'Naga. If possible, it would be best not to even give birth to a new Xel'Naga.
They all know that Xel'Naga is by no means an omniscient and omnipotent god in the true sense, nor is he an omnipotent god, otherwise Amon would not have become so crazy.
"No, I will create a better world!" Cerebrate vowed: "A world where even humans, protoss and zerg can live in harmony!"
These words may have been taught by the Queen of the Empire.
"Atanis, did you see it?" Augustus ignored it: "The Palace of Ascension is opening."
Behind the Third Hall of Revelation, an extremely spectacular temple has risen from the abyss, with dazzling light pouring on the gorgeous high ceiling that perfectly follows the golden ratio. The space seems to be overflowing, and the forms of light and shadow are
They all become a lake, sometimes brilliant, sometimes reflecting each other, filled with a mysterious, crystal clear and extraordinary beauty.
"Well..." Artanis put away the many questions in his mind and walked towards the broad avenue filled with light that led to the Ascension Palace.
This is an opportunity that the protoss has been waiting for for thousands of years, an opportunity to see the creator Xel'Naga again.
Before the catastrophe of the ages, the gods once walked in Aiur.
Artanis must ask them why they allowed Amon to do whatever he wanted.
