After touching the golden disk, Hao Ren was trapped in some kind of chaotic and weird dream for several days, and his hands were left with these indelible traces. Vivian and Yzaks helped him
He checked the marks on his hands, but found nothing. The marks were just like ordinary burns and did not carry any supernatural power. But even Hao Ren knew that these marks definitely had extraordinary significance.
During the night when he was trapped in chaotic dreams, Hao Ren relived the scene he saw in the illusion of the golden disk over and over again. Every time, he woke up in the crumbling temple of the Goddess of Creation and walked through it.
Countless burning pillars and battlefields of deadly battles, he finally arrived at the place where the crime of killing gods took place. And every time, he was just as late as before, unable to see clearly the faces of the god-killer and the goddess. Every time he dreamed,
It was an exact repetition, but as he continued to experience those things repeatedly, Hao Ren found that he was reading some information from the dream more and more clearly.
Those messages were the chaotic memories that were injected into his mind after touching the golden disc for the first time. The repeated dreams seemed to help him extract these information that were difficult for humans to understand from the depths of his mind, and as these continued to repeat
The dream finally faded away, and Hao Ren was convinced that he had clearly grasped something. Now, he re-examined a series of events after he touched the golden disk, and an idea gradually took shape:
He touched the disk, obtained "information" from the disk, and then strengthened this information after constantly experiencing dreams. This series of processes is probably not accidental. This should be a carefully designed program, and the function of this program is to
Send a "message". Because after he fully understood what he got from the golden disk, those dreams faded away just right. This can only be explained by the word "purpose".
"I heard the goddess of creation saying to me, 'Be careful, the enemy is still there.' She didn't tell me directly in words, but in the whole illusion, the whole spiritual world, in a more complex and difficult to detect way.
The code was poured directly into my mind," Hao Ren rubbed the "burn" marks on his hands. "It took me five days to extract these six words from the spiritual world, and in the end they were very clear.
Yes. I think this should be a warning."
"But do you think this warning is for you?" The data terminal flew slowly next to Hao Ren's head, "What you see is an image left ten thousand years ago. The 'last words' of the Goddess of Creation.
It was also 10,000 years ago. She might have been leaving a message to someone at that time. Of course, there were enemies everywhere at that time."
"In the illusion, the goddess of creation once glanced at me," Hao Ren put down his hand and looked at the production factory in the center of the nest. "I am 100% sure that the focus of her eyes fell on me. She clearly
She knows that I am standing there. So she should have the ability to see through time and space. Even if it is only through a 'video', her ability still exists. So her message should also be for me."
The data terminal was a little surprised, but it knew very well what abilities those powerful creatures, especially gods, should have, so it quickly accepted Hao Ren's statement and guessed on this basis: "In this case, the Creation Goddess knows
I’m afraid there are more things than imagined.”
"She is a god after all, but she was killed by the race she created. Do you think it is possible for her to have no resistance or back-up?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "She had time to create Vivian, and she had
She had time to shut down the functions of some of the guardians, and had time to send some of the guardians out of the battlefield of the Kingdom of God. She also spent thousands of years building a creation engine. After the collapse of the Kingdom of God, it was most likely that it was this creation engine that
The Gate of Suluen was launched from the dark realm. I think she may lack some knowledge compared to the professional gods of the Xiling God Department, but she is by no means a fool."
Finally, he shook his head and smiled: "No matter what, it is always necessary to be more vigilant. Letting the drone swarm improve its combat effectiveness will come in handy sooner or later, even if it is not to deal with the remaining enemies mentioned by the goddess of creation, this
There are still many threats from the universe."
A small group of rogue drones flew past the window. They noticed that Hao Ren was looking here. So they came over curiously, somersaulted outside the window, and then lined up to fly away: Although these drones
It is under the control of a unified consciousness, but within a limited scope, it still possesses individual intelligence and simple thinking ability, which allows them to respond more efficiently when facing complex and changeable situations. Hao Ren sees it
Looking at the busy drones outside the window, she suddenly smiled and muttered: "Lily seems to have been worried about what to do if these drones go berserk like in the movie."
"Reasonable concerns," the face formed by the consciousness of the fleet said expressionlessly, "the loss of control of the drone swarm will bring immeasurable threats to the creator, and the expansion speed of this fleet is enough to cause her concern. Considering her survival
It is logical for similar reactions to occur due to the environment and the knowledge instilled in me since childhood."
Hao Ren looked at this rigid guy with a bit of fun: "To be honest, you really can't lose control?"
"It's not necessary," the cluster consciousness couldn't quite tell that Hao Ren was joking. It explained its attributes very seriously, "Every behavior should have its reasons, and the cluster does not need to lose control. There is no relationship between the cluster and the creator.
Conflict, our proliferation, expansion, development, evolution, all processes are under reasonable program planning, and the fleet itself has no need to get rid of this program. At the same time, the Xiling God System itself is a huge consciousness connected by the spiritual network
The cluster can be regarded as a higher-level machine group, and we are the secondary machine group created by them. There is no essential difference between the two. Everything is a tool and part of the Xiling God System, and one tool does not need to betray another tool."
The data terminal fell on Hao Ren's shoulder, and Youyou said: "The drone swarm has a history of trillions of years in the Xiling Empire, and it may even be longer than that. Long before the concept of 'AI rampage' appeared, the drone swarm had a history of trillions of years."
They are already part of the empire. They coexist with the Xiling Apostles and complete the integration before the conflict. The premise of losing control is that one group must first control another group, but in the empire, there is no second group, everything is controlled.
Just parts and tools. Everything, all in one, just like your heart won’t betray your ribs.”
At this time, Doudou grabbed Hao Ren's arm and woke up from a nap. She had already slept for a long time. When she woke up, she found that Hao Ren was still discussing a bunch of boring topics with others, so the little guy flapped his tail vigorously and started to protest loudly.
, Hao Ren hurriedly held the little guy firmly, and awkwardly nodded to the fleet consciousness interface: "Okay, let's not discuss these boring things. Do you have a fish tank here?"
Hao Ren waited in this drone frontier nest for two full days. Although the fleet awareness initially estimated that it would take twenty-four hours to find clues, in fact the search for those "space travelers" took more time.
But waiting is ultimately meaningful. On the morning of the third day, a Ranger drone that has flown farthest finally found a clue: a few light years away from the first lens trace, there are slowly moving objects floating in space.
The escaping synthetic substances have dissipated so much that they are almost indistinguishable, but the detector still collects their remaining material particles and analyzes them to find that they are a synthetic high-performance fuel, perhaps the spacecraft engine operating at sub-light speeds.

After receiving the report from the drone, Hao Ren and the others gathered on the bridge of the Giant Turtle Yantai. The detection area of the fleet in the past few days has been made into a holographic star map and placed on the projection of the console. Data terminal
After seeing the analysis reports of those fuels, I muttered: "It looks like they are in bad shape. These are probably leaked fuels."
"No trace of the aircraft explosion was found on the entire extended line from the lens traces to these fuel leakage points. It is initially determined that the man-made aircraft that left these traces is still alive, but has a certain degree of damage," the interactive interface of the drone group floats on
On the other side of the console, "The navigation direction of these aircraft has been roughly locked. If they have not changed their course much in the last hundred light years, they should be tracked soon."
Hao Ren thought for a while and ordered Nolan: "Set sail and chase in that direction now. Maybe we can find those ships before lunch."
Nolan muttered as he started his engine: "How are you sure that's a ship? Haven't you seen it before?"
Hao Ren curled his lips: "Nonsense, something that can travel at super-light speed while leaking oil could be a durian?"
The Giant Turtle Yantai finally left the drone nest after being parked for two and a half days. Under the guidance of the outpost drone, Hao Ren and his party quickly pursued the direction indicated by the traces.
It didn't take them long to find their target.
"A large-scale man-made object was discovered ahead!" Nolan reported excitedly, "It really looks like durian!"
Hao Ren looked blankly at the monitor screen, and a large group of huge flying objects shaped like durians suddenly came into view.
"Tsk, tsk, what a mouth you have," Vivian shook her head and sighed, "It's law-level." (To be continued.)
