Evolution Beyond the Stars Volume 1 The Beginning of Eden 01047 Lord of Balance "The Council of Elders does not think it is necessary for us to activate the Eye of True Sight, so... the only way now is to convince the Lord of Balance." Lin Yan told her as soon as she opened her mouth.
Han Kongwen had bad news.
Han Kongwen had also been prepared. The people in the Presbyterian Church were relatively conservative, so it was completely expected that they would make such a decision.
"Well, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"The Lord of Balance's status in the numerical world is second only to that of God, and its status is only one level lower in name. In fact, it is an independent existence that is not restricted by any external force. If you want to convince him, you can only rely on
We acted on the spot." Lin Yan didn't have much confidence.
Han Kongwen nodded, and then followed Lin Yan towards the central area of the Lightless City.
The Lightless City has not changed much after many years. It is like an ancient palace silent among the stars, and it is not eroded by wind, frost, rain, and snow.
However, as he got closer, Han Kongwen still felt the cold feeling it exuded.
Ling Xin did not follow him, he stopped outside the door like a very competent butler.
Han Kongwen asked quietly: "Sister, has he been following you for all these years?"
Lin Yan: "Well, he said that he still needs a lot of time to grow. Before he realizes the value of his existence for sure, staying with me is the best choice."
Han Kongwen: "Hey?! It sounds like the engineering guy is confessing his love."
Lin Yan smiled: "He is just a child, don't think too much."
Han Kongwen didn't think so. Although he only glanced at Ling Xin briefly just now, he still left a very deep impression on Han Kongwen.
'He is no longer a child...' Han Kongwen sighed in his heart.

At night, when Zhang Yu took Chang Yuan back to the previously agreed upon location, the safe house had been set up.
Moreover, two team members have found this place on their own. Currently, nine people have gathered here, which is nearly one-third of the entire crew.
After settling Chang Yuan, Zhang Yu called everyone together.
"Does any of you know where this place is?" Zhang Yu asked.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then expressed that they did not remember passing through this area on the way to the Foreign Spirit Tribe.
In other words... they may have accidentally broken into an unknown x area.
"This is strange... we just encountered a thunderstorm when the plane crashed the night before yesterday. I calibrated the coordinate line at that time and there was no problem. But now..." Zhang Yu seemed to be asking a question, but also seemed to be asking himself.
003, one of the survivors, asked: "Sir, have you established contact with the command?"
Zhang Yu shook his head: "No, communication is always disconnected."
003 frowned, then turned to look at the others and said, "What about you? Are they all the same?"
Everyone nodded, and everyone's situation was exactly the same. In addition to the traditional quantum communicator, which could still be used normally, the wide-area harmonic communicator connected to the command center was always in standby mode.
After confirming this, 003 said solemnly: "Sir, I think... we may have really fallen into area x."
Zhang Yu was startled when he heard this: "x area?" He had never heard of x area.
"Well, this is a rumor within our Border Guard Force. Although it has never been officially confirmed, we veterans all know that such a place exists." 003 said and looked at 017 beside him and continued: "Hu Kai, you
It should be clearest, you should talk to your commander."
Hu Kai No. 017 is the border
The sergeant major of the 7th Defense Force Regiment of the Defense Force, his various combat data parameters are very amazing, even higher than Zhang Yu in some places.
So Zhang Yu had a deep impression on him.
Hu Kai, who gives people a sense of reticence, is indeed somewhat different from others.
Zhang Yu looked at him, and he looked at Zhang Yu.
After a while, Hu Kai said: "About five years ago..."
——
We received an order to rescue a trapped scientist in the territory of the Alien Tribe.
At that time, the headquarters did not tell us the exact information about this person. They only gave us a set of coordinates and let us set off.
It went smoothly at first, after all, it wasn't the first time this happened.
But then it was just like what happened the night before...the weather that was originally good suddenly started to rain...
We crashed...
One Hunter, fifteen members... all missing.
Only my then boss and I were rescued.
Before I was rescued, I remember... I was lying in a forest... But the person who rescued me told me... I was lying in a wilderness...
Since then, rumors about area x have spread.
But... no one has ever believed that area x really exists. Most people think that this is a forced explanation for some unreasonable phenomena...
——
After Hu Kai finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yu: "But now... I am sure that this area x exists... Sir... we should be in this area now."
Zhang Yu looked at Hu Kai. From the look in his eyes, he was sure that Hu Kai was sane. He didn't seem to be lying, and there was absolutely no need.
But the problem is, even if they know that area x exists, it will be of no help to them who are trapped now.
The purpose of their action was to meet Lin Xue, the leader of the Foreign Spirit Clan, and they were not here for adventure.
"Then... apart from these, do you still remember how you left here?"
Hu Kai shook his head: "I was injured at the time and was in a state of confusion. I only remember seeing the big tree, but I fell into a coma soon after... and then... I was rescued."
Zhang Yu sighed in his heart, it seemed that things were much more complicated than he imagined.
"Okay, let's all take a rest first. I will make arrangements tomorrow morning." Zhang Yu said as he got up and returned to Chang Yuan.
Everyone else also found a place to sit down and began to check their equipment and wounds.
They were still on guard duty, hiding in the tree canopy, always alert to possible dangers.
——
With Lin Yan's help, Han Kongwen successfully met the "Lord of Balance".
Different from the lofty and god-like posture in imagination, the "Lord of Balance" appears in the image of a child.
Judging from his appearance alone, he looks about eleven or twelve years old at most.
After sitting opposite Han Kongwen in an empty world of water and sky, the "Lord of Balance" said: "I have found them."
Han Kongwen was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the "Lord of Balance" in front of him in surprise: "Have you found them?"
"Yes, they are trapped in the intertwined margins of time and space, which are the traces left by the remaining flames of the Tomb of Pure Sky Fire."
Intertwining time and space? The remaining flames of the Tomb of Pure Heavenly Fire?
Han Kongwen didn't quite understand, but she had determined that Zhang Yu and his party were no longer on Gaia.
"Then how can we get them back?"
"all
"Lord of Heng" shook his head: "There is no order in the world of chaos, which means that it is impossible to save them by ordinary methods."
When Han Kongwen heard this, his heart moved: "Then do you have any unusual method?"
"The Lord of Balance" smiled: "Are they...important to you?"
Han Kongwen nodded: "It's very important."
"In this case, let's make an exchange according to the law of equilibrium."
Exchange? Are you negotiating terms?
Han Kongwen didn't speak. She looked at the old and arrogant child in front of her in silence.
"The order of time and space is already on the verge of danger. If you want to save them, it will inevitably push everything existing into the abyss. Are you... really sure you want to do this?"
After hearing this, Han Kongwen asked: "What on earth did you see?"
The "Lord of Balance" said: "I see every life trying its best, I see things dying all the time, I see the spring brings vitality, I see the glory fades, the sun fades and the road ends... these...
You can understand it as the order of existence.”
The order of existence…
"Have you... also noticed..."
The "Lord of Balance" smiled slightly, and his appearance changed. In the blink of an eye, he changed from a child to an old man with a kind expression.
"No, I can only see what exists and record what has happened, but I can't see what has not yet begun and what is possible in the future... there is still hope for all of that."
"Is there still hope?"
"Yes, just like some people have bid farewell to the past and welcome the future... some people are unwilling to wake up and immerse themselves in it... and some people have lost their true heart and body... all of these are unknown variables.
, even if the order of time and space is in danger...it is only our current understanding of the world at this moment."
Han Kongwen understood that the things she had been able to avoid had never stopped because of her avoidance...on the contrary...in those quiet corners, they had sprouted.
"Don't go into this good night meekly. You have to believe that there is still hope for everything."
…
The conversation with the "Lord of Balance" is much easier than imagined.
But when Han Kongwen walked out of the room, she was surprised to find...perhaps the "Lord of Balance" had never met her.
In that world where water and sky meet, what she sees... is just a reflection.
When Lin Yan saw Han Kongwen coming out, she stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Have you gained anything?"
Han Kongwen nodded and then asked: "Sister, if A Sen is still here...will he be as hesitant as me?"
Lin Yan was silent for a while and then asked: "Why do you ask this? Do you think Asen's decision is the best?"
Han Kongwen was shocked when he heard this.
yes……
Some people have bid farewell to the past... some people are unwilling to wake up... and some people have lost their original intention...
"I understand...thank you."
Lin Yan smiled slightly, stepped forward and took Han Kongwen's hand and said: "There is an old saying that every gain must come with a loss... Life is like this, and the world... should be like this..."
Han Kongwen nodded, her heart had never been so calm as at this moment.
View of Gaia from the Lightless City.
This blue planet that has reignited the fire of human civilization looks so embarrassed at the moment... There are many traces left on its trajectory that should not exist... That is a sign before the order of time and space collapses...
