Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1248: Voyages in the Past

When Lu Ning passed the news brought by Lewanska to Chang Zaihao and Liuye, the two people who had just returned were also quite frightened.

It was mainly aimed at Christine's behavior of rushing to the door and yelling. For the two of them, if they really called the gods out and launched a world-destroying disaster, then the scene would be over. But Lu Ning felt that if this happened, Christine would probably be very happy because she finally fished the soul out of the turtle shell.

In short, Lu Ning, with the idea that I can't be the only one thinking about how to kill the gods, spread the news to all the students she knew, including those as far away as Xinshu Cinema.

Her guess about Christine was not wrong. Ever since she woke up, she had been thinking about how to get the god out of his shell. But Christine is also one of the people who knows the state of this world best. She knows that even if she really makes the weapon, she will not be able to come up with a matching energy system.

When everyone calmed down and sat together again, everyone had accepted the current situation. Lu Ning's home became a conference room, where Chen Geng and Ling Ri met.

"I didn't expect to have real contact with gods so early." Liuye muttered.

"Early discovery can lead to early preparation, otherwise we have to wait until the end of the world really starts to show signs of disaster before we go to the gods?" Christine said a little bit harshly, "I came to you also in the hope that we can think together, even though I I don’t think anyone can think of a solution that I can’t think of in my head, but there is always a gap in information and intelligence, I admit that.”

"Ahem, what Christine means is that everyone brainstorms, don't worry about the rest." Lewanska quickly smoothed things over, "In fact, I also had a headache when I saw the result she found. If it's just based on the distribution center's If the mission is the goal, it is not too difficult. As long as the gods are not the enemy, Glory Silhouette is still at the level of civilization in the universe. It can be solved by climbing up the technology tree crazily, and this can be solved by force. There must be other solutions out there.”

"What method?" Chang Zaihao asked.

Lewanska pointed to her head.

"Learn from the predecessors, give a little more space, and reduce your own perception. As long as you make enough adjustments, you can isolate the glory silhouettes, and then... the unification of Haifa Continent, as long as the remaining people are When we come together, we can build a country.”

"This is probably the standard solution." Ling Xiaochen nodded, "If we were the only ones here, I think I would use this method. We can't save the world."

"We are already at the fifth level, do we still have to follow the tasks of the distribution center honestly? Is that just the minimum standard given to us by the distribution center?" Christine patted the table, "Can you accept that god's behavior? In this world What's the fault of the people who have to suffer this kind of degradation from generation to generation? If this plan is really implemented, then the kingdom established in the next generation will really only be a continent, not a planet!"

Lewanska nodded in agreement.

Even if the tourists don't care, the people in the scene certainly can't accept it. This is where the difficulty of the last optional mission comes.

"Now we are taking another path." Lu Ning said, "The difficulties are already in front of us. If we don't find an instructor, Christine, what do you think?"

"Let's separate the problems first." Kristine grabbed a piece of paper and began to write on it, "I am very sure that Jingshen is a relatively primitive ancient god with one body and one soul. And now I am also sure. Where are the two key parts of Jingshen? Well, the problem lies in their state. "

She drew two bifurcating lines down the paper.

"The body is the universe itself. Compared to us, it has the infinity of space and the inherent inclusiveness of the universe itself. These two are the biggest problems that make it impossible for us to hurt the body. Infinity determines everything that can be measured Limited attacks cannot achieve real damage. At most, they are just some damage from our perspective. Inclusiveness determines that any attack we do will be included in the logic of the universe. Attacks from within can certainly produce certain effects. But there is an upper limit, that is, we will all die together at most. We cannot use the energy of this universe to launch an attack with a higher energy than the universe itself."

Christine said excitedly, completely unaware that she was pouring cold water on everyone.

"And the soul is placed in a shell at the starting point of time. It is completely impossible for ordinary people to just go back along the timeline. This is the first insurance. The second insurance is that shell, in time The starting point is something that the gods use to protect themselves, so it is basically a singularity."

"Please explain what a singularity is, so that I can give up my fantasy." Liuye said.

"You can think of it as the matrix of the universe, a state in which all attributes such as time, matter, and rules are compressed together, but all attributes are not revealed."

Christine circled the noun.

"The point is! All conventional attack methods cannot harm this kind of thing! Either it is something outside the interior of the universe, or it can get the completely opposite anti-singularity at the end of the universe. Of course, there is a third way. , that is, this soul comes out of this shell on its own initiative.”

"What if we can take advantage of the soul after we come out?" Ling Xiaochen asked.

"The soul is different from the body. It is a form that is easy to target. Compared with the overwhelming gap in quality, the non-material form of the soul can be solved through various tricks." Christine Said, "The problem is that Jingshen has placed a shell on the soul that is basically impossible for us to destroy."

After saying that, she threw the pen on the table and spread her hands, meaning that all the situations and difficulties are here, let's find a solution.

"I have an idea." Ling Xiaochen raised his hand, "Considering the distinction between inside and outside that Christine just mentioned, I want to know if I go to other worlds through a lens, does it count as going to the outside?"

"Forget it." Christine nodded, "The problem is, if you leave this world through a lens, how do you determine the position of this world? Since we have no knowledge of the outside world, locking it from another universe In this universe, this is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. Unless I go to that world, get local support, and then spend a year and a half studying it.”

"It's hard..."

Ling Xiaochen couldn't guarantee what happened next, but he knew the difficulty ahead. It wasn't easy to gain the trust of the locals everywhere, not to mention that this matter would definitely require the use of a huge amount of resources, and it was impossible to study it secretly.

"The remaining time is not enough for us to complete so many things." Lewanska said, "Even if we have the intention to do so, a lot of time will be consumed in negotiations and other aspects."

"Then...do we have a suitable solution to the infinity of the universe itself?" Chang Zaihao said, "Obviously, this infinity is for the creatures in the universe, and for tourists, We can find the boundary." "The difficulty lies in aerospace technology," Lu Ning sighed, "To find the boundary, we have to fly out of the planet. Even if Christine can provide the engine blueprint, the sky above the planet is blocked by Jingshen. The nature of the blockade has not yet been discovered.”

"Can't you see?" Liuye wondered, "The blockade shouldn't be as difficult as the previous two problems, right?"

"It's not difficult to deal with, and it's not difficult to deal with. Even I have to be able to collect samples or observe phenomena before I can make a judgment. But the blockade set up by Jingshen is very cunning. All detection methods will directly fail and I can't observe it. Any derived phenomenon, it is impossible to determine what method is used to block it," Christine explained.

"I think it's better to search through the heritage of previous civilizations. Maybe I can find something useful." Lu Ning stood up and opened the cabinet. "For this matter, I specifically submitted an application...here."

She took out a silver square box.

"The urn has no better information retrieval capability than it, and it also contains information about the Trace of the God of Scenery."

"Pre-civilization..." Christine took the box, "But they didn't even dare to write down the specific information about Jingshen. I doubt whether I can find the information I need in it."

However, Christine still opened the urn interface. This kind of technological item was of course the most familiar to her, and soon she pulled out a star map from the database.

Lu Ning couldn't understand this thing. Lewanska seemed to understand a little bit, but Ling Xiaochen's eyes widened.

"Wait a minute, this star map..."

Christine glanced at Ling Xiaochen in surprise: "Can you understand it? Even tourists usually don't learn this stuff in depth."

A star chart is not a map because the positions of stars are constantly changing during space navigation. The essence of a star chart is the relative position and trajectory of stars, and auxiliary corrections such as real-time calculations and realistic observations are indispensable. To be able to see a cosmic-level star map, you must have sufficient relevant knowledge.

"Leading troops to fight, you can't do this without knowing this." Ling Xiaochen smiled.

"Well, judging from this star map, the civilization that invented this has explored a large area of ​​the universe and even discovered other civilizations."

There are many civilization star fields marked on the star map, some are advanced and some are backward. The routes shown on the star map pass through some of them, serving as supply ports or relay stations.

But... for people who can read star charts, this star chart has a big problem.

"Why is there only one direction?" Ling Xiaochen carefully identified the information in the star map. The explored area was very vast, but it did not radiate to the surroundings. I don’t know what the restrictions are, but the development direction of the star map is basically determined.

"From a cosmic scale, this is indeed the case." Christine nodded, "This is a very strange place. We all know that this civilization is headed for the God of Jing, but why can their interstellar voyage actually have such an impact? Such a clear goal?"

Now Lu Ning understood.

"They found the location of Jingshen? It's impossible. Only the body remains here in space, and the body is the background of the universe... Wait, it may not be the location of Jingshen, but the weakness?"

"The question is how do they know to go in this direction? The purpose is too clear," Lewanska said.

"Even if we know, like what we just said, we can't get over it, right?" Chang Zaihao said helplessly, "Regardless of how they knew it, we don't want to think about interstellar voyages at all now."

Lu Ning waved her hand: "No, that's not the problem. Since this route is so weird, and it is almost certainly related to Jingshen, we can think that the former civilization has the accurate information to go in this direction. Who is it? Would you tell them this direction? Why did they go straight in this direction?”

She has read the history recorded in the urn. Civilization finally pointed its sword at the gods and then disappeared into history.

"There may be many reasons, but the most likely one is..." Christine quickly flipped through the records in the urn in her hand. Among the vast sea of ​​historical data, there were countless records about the final expedition. She relied on her powerful information filtering The ability to quickly disassemble the key words in the information at a glance, and dig out the information feedback from more than a hundred cosmic signal stations.

"The commonality has been found. Before they set off, during the process of building the space warship, whenever there was a signal feedback here, there would be a centralized deployment of personnel and a reallocation of resources. There is no translation record of the meaning of this signal. It seems that It is something they tacitly understand. As the number of signal receptions increases, their social atmosphere becomes more and more tense. This is a countdown. Unfortunately, the pilot ship data is not stored here, but a lot of circumstantial evidence is also available. prove."

The star map rotates, and the historical trajectory of the starry sky emerges in the sky. A twisted and intertwined link of light and darkness passes through the stars, and the stars light up and disappear accordingly. The explosion of every supernova along the way, on the scale of time, There is a fixed pace.

"Kingshen." Christine looked at the starting point of the bond. It was still hidden at the end of the universe, but it was no longer invisible.

"The gods sent signals to them, marked the route, and even lit up the starry sky." Ling Xiaochen said.

"This is a duel." Lu Ning stretched out his hand and passed his palm through the marked bond. "Humans challenge, and gods accept."

"Here's the opportunity." Lewanska laughed.

If the gods can accept the first challenge issued by humans, then there can be a second one. The six students unanimously agreed with this conclusion.
