With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 565 Awakening
Anti-universe.

It has been some time since the human fleet left.

The previous singularity chaos completely flattened the starry sky. In the deep and dark starry sky, there was almost no movement except for black holes of various sizes and gravitational waves whizzing by.

Except for the few stars that survived at the edge of the universe, they are still working diligently to dispel the thick darkness and coldness around them.

As for outside the cosmic bubble...

As time passed, the cosmic bubble that was on the verge of breaking was gradually repaired. Even the large crack that almost ran through the entire cosmic bubble was reduced to a shallow and inconspicuous white mark. The tiny cracks that were spread throughout the cosmic bubble disappeared without a trace under the repair of the singularity control system.

Not hard to foresee.

Give this universe some time to recuperate, and it will return to its former glory.

Of course, this is only the appearance. There is almost no actual matter inside the anti-universe at this time, and it is almost no different from those universes that are entering decline.

It is for this reason that the fleet previously stationed near the anti-cosmic bubble and the Genesis Fortress responsible for maintaining the cosmic membrane also left one by one.

To this day, there are only a hundred or so conventional warships and a Genesis Fortress left beside the huge anti-universe bubble, responsible for the final "guarding" work - if the nature of this universe bubble was not so special, the Human Union would never have allowed this relatively powerful force to waste on this universe that is about to completely decline at such a critical moment.

When dozens of conventional warships formed an array and carried out outer space patrol missions according to their usual routes, a strange wave carrying a weak flow of information came from outside the hyperspace membrane, and easily passed through this tough space membrane, quietly arriving near the anti-universe bubble.

……

"drop!"

"This outer space patrol mission is about to be completed. Please ask the pilot to hand over the patrol matters as soon as possible after returning..."

The electronic synthesized sound from the ship's main computer echoed in the spacious cockpit, and Lu Minghui's slightly narrowed eyes widened.

"It's finally over..."

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at his comrade beside him, "Old Xie, have you finished your patrol report?"

"Don't worry." The man called Lao Xie grinned, revealing a somewhat stiff smile, "It's all done. The next inspection will be in a week. We can have a good rest for a while."

The task of patrolling the cosmic bubble is not an easy one. The anti-universe in front of us is a medium-to-large natural cosmic bubble, and a patrol cycle will take at least three days.

Although there is assistance from the shipboard mainframe, in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, the driver still needs to monitor every patrol mission throughout the process.

Needless to say, this is an extremely boring job in the absence of any unexpected events.

Lu Minghui casually flipped through the inspection report. After confirming that it was correct, he turned around and closed the holographic interface in front of him. Then he looked gloomily at the bizarre five-dimensional space outside the porthole: "I feel like I'm getting rusty after being stuck in this damn place all day."

"Come on." Hearing Lu Minghui's words, Old Xie rolled his eyes unhappily, "Didn't you read the daily news from the Academy of Sciences?"

"Don't be so ungrateful. Do you know how many people are eyeing this job as a space bubble inspector?"

"I know." Lu Minghui frowned, "It seems to be called... Apophis Giant Scorpion?"

"Yes, according to the information revealed by the Academy of Sciences, the other party is also a level nine civilization like us." A trace of worry flashed in Old Xie's eyes, "Universe EL13685003 and the surrounding universes have been completely under martial law. In order to deal with those giant scorpions, the Academy of Sciences even reorganized the expedition fleet."

"Why, do you want to fight those giant scorpions with real weapons?"

Lu Minghui smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything else.

"Then again..." Old Xie didn't care about Lu Minghui's silence. He started to chatter to himself, "I heard from the higher-ups that these Apophis scorpions first appeared here, but somehow they ran off to other universes inexplicably."

"Otherwise, the Academy of Sciences would not have stationed a Genesis Fortress in such a desolate place. You know, Genesis Fortresses are really hot commodities right now..."

Hearing this, Lu Minghui was slightly stunned and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.

He subconsciously sat up straight and turned his head to look at the crystal clear cosmic bubble outside the porthole: "This... is there such a thing?"

"Isn't our patrol mission to monitor information entropy fluctuations?"

"That's true, but..." Old Xie scratched his head, "I heard from the higher-ups that this thing is also related to those Apophis giant scorpions."

Seeing Lu Minghui's expression begin to change, Old Xie quickly laughed and said casually:

"Hey! Whether this thing is true or not, I guess only the academicians of the Academy of Sciences know!"

"In short, trust the Human Union."

Old Xie smiled carelessly and said, "I have been in the army for so many years, and I have never seen anyone suffer a loss because of this."

Lu Minghui nodded silently, and his tense expression relaxed a little.

Old Xie is right.

More than three months ago, the Academy of Sciences suddenly announced that it had entered a state of war and officially rebuilt the expedition fleet. It was from that time that the entire universe entered a state of military control. In order to prevent some civilizations from causing trouble in the chaos, most information was strictly controlled.

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

Suddenly, a shrill warning sounded in the cockpit, and the atmosphere that had just relaxed became tense again.

"I'm going to...what happened?"

Old Xie sat up straight abruptly, staring with wide eyes at the holographic interface in front of him that was flashing warning signals.

Lu Minghui hurriedly called up a holographic image - a bright red straight line appeared in the screen, directly shocking him and Old Xie beside him to the spot.

"..."

"It seems to be... information entropy fluctuations?"

"Don't pretend, this is just information entropy fluctuations!!"

After a brief silence, Lu Minghui and Lao Xie stood up from their seats at the same time and issued an order to the ship's main computer with horrified expressions:
"Quick! Sound the alarm!!"

"Notify the fortress, Alpha-C9 area has discovered..."

Before he finished speaking, a shrill alarm sounded synchronously in the communication channel - his companions in the patrol team had already quickly sounded the alarm.

……

Inside the anti-universe bubble, the central black hole, and the event horizon.

Since there is almost no light in the entire cosmic bubble, the interior of the event horizon of this central black hole is not as colorful as a normal black hole, but like the anti-cosmic bubble, it is almost trapped in absolute darkness.

suddenly.

A strange wave ignored the powerful gravitational force that was enough to drag light, whizzed in from outside the event horizon, and penetrated directly into the event horizon with unstoppable momentum.

next second.

Inside the empty black hole, countless tiny streams of information burst out without warning, and the coordinate parameters began to change rapidly as if they were being manipulated by an invisible hand.

When the parameters returned to stability, a figure with a faint white light flashing all over his body suddenly appeared in this space where there was no one to disturb him.

[I really don’t know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky…]

The strange wave from the void slowly swept over the figure, and then lightly probed into the singularity at the center of the black hole: [It actually drilled into the singularity area where the program was disordered. Fortunately, this thing still recognized you, otherwise the plan we have prepared for so long would be completely ruined. ]

[It just so happens that while this singularity control center is still functioning normally, I will help you again! ]

As he spoke, Yuan controlled the flow of information and pressed it onto the singularity with extreme precision.

Wow!
The singularity, which was originally just a tiny dot of nothingness, unfolded in an instant, and in the dark and deep space, a building with countless [string] characters engraved on its surface was constructed out of thin air - two-dimensional, three-dimensional, four-dimensional, five-dimensional... countless complex and changeable high-dimensional structures nested and overlapped with each other, and finally constructed a sophisticated structure like a gear set.

hum! ! !
As Yuan once again turned the information flow that acted as a control lever, a deep blue light appeared around the figure without warning - this was extremely pure vacuum zero-point energy!

【But then again...】

Watching those azure dots of light gradually seeping into the figure, Yuan murmured meaningfully: [It seemed like you were the one who proposed adding a cross-barrier transmission function to the singularity control center? ] [Could it be that... you had foreseen the current scene at that time? ]

[Am I right, Fan? ]

It was extremely quiet inside the black hole. Apart from the consciousness that flickered in the azure light, no one responded to Yuan's mumbling.

【……never mind. 】

Yuan was silent for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: [You have no memory of the past at all now, no matter how much I say, it will be in vain...]

Perhaps it was because of Yuan's words that the consciousness that was like a dead body before trembled slightly.

[Are you going to wake up? ]

Yuan's mind moved, and he hurriedly evacuated the information flow that served as the control lever from the singularity: [Then I have to leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause any unknown impact on the plan...]

As soon as he finished speaking, the strange wave from the other side of the barrier retreated from the black hole like a tide, pulling Chen Fan's consciousness out of the event horizon.

As for inside the event horizon…

As the information flow remaining inside gradually dissipated, the singularity that had previously expanded into a complex structure quickly shrank back and returned to its previous state of nothingness.

Everything returned to peace.

It's like nothing happened.

……

The edge of the central black hole.

The consciousness that was emitting a steady, bright white light all over its body seemed to be stimulated by something and twitched slightly again.

next second.

The consciousness's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing its eyeballs filled with confusion.

"here it is……"

Chen Fan, who had just woken up, looked at the pitch-dark environment around him and stood there in a daze for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, he belatedly thought of using the information flow to explore the surrounding environment.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

When the information flow came into contact with a continuously rotating space-time distortion structure, Chen Fan suddenly felt awake.

"Fuck!"

“Black hole!!”

While exclaiming, he almost instinctively controlled the information flow to modify his own coordinate parameters.

Swish!
Ten light years away, Chen Fan looked in the direction he came from with a distorted expression, his cheeks trembling slightly: "Who the hell is so wicked as to leave a black hole where others sleep?!"

"You're just throwing black holes everywhere, don't let me catch you, otherwise..."

While cursing, Chen Fan suddenly froze in place.

he looks like……

Recognized this black hole.

Although the size of the black hole has shrunk several times, its coordinate parameters have not changed.

"Isn't this the anti-universe central black hole?"

Chen Fan looked around in a daze.

Looking at the extremely familiar coordinate parameter information, he finally determined his location.

——Anti-universe bubble!
That is to say...

The central black hole was not left beside him by someone, but...

He moved closer to the other person!
Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but shiver.

He was only half a step away, or even just a turn over, and he would fall directly into the event horizon of the black hole. This was simply a horror story!
After coming to his senses, fragmented fragments of memory flooded into his mind.

"My consciousness...hasn't it collapsed?"

Chen Fan frowned and raised his hand to look at his consciousness, which was almost the same as before and even a little "brighter".

"Recovered so quickly?"

"Wait, why do I remember..."

"I seemed to wake up once during the journey, and it seemed that I went to a strange place..."

As he spoke, a void with no end in sight gradually emerged in Chen Fan's mind, and...

The information flow life forms surrounding him, trying to use him as a sacrifice in a "sacrificial ceremony"!

"Yes, is it a dream?"

His eyes were dazed and he murmured in a low voice.

Do not!
Definitely not a dream!
That was a real experience!
Feeling the dizziness coming from the depths of his mind from time to time, Chen Fan confirmed his thoughts.

"Who are they...?"

"If I remember correctly, they seemed to call me... Your Majesty?"

"No, that's not right. It seems that it is just a similar pronunciation and has nothing to do with His Majesty the Ghost Fleet..."

Chen Fan knocked his head, which was a mess, in distress.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came into his mind.

"and many more!"

"Where's the Human Fleet?"

"How much sleep did I get?"

Looking at the desolate starry sky with almost no starlight around him, Chen Fan became more and more panicked, and his voice trembled as he spoke to himself: "Human Union..."

"Now, is there anyone who wants to contact me now?"

We must leave this cosmic bubble as soon as possible!
Chen Fan didn't have time to think about it and subconsciously began to modify his own coordinate parameters.

Relying on coordinate modification technology to cross the cosmic membrane should have been a very difficult task - at the beginning, he almost consumed an entire Kraken to complete the final breakthrough.

But...this time is different from the past.

As his thought progressed, the coordinates that were originally extremely solid became as if made of paper, and the changes he wanted appeared in the blink of an eye!
In his panic, Chen Fan did not notice the changes in himself.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind.

That is, to leave the anti-universe bubble and look for traces of the human union!

No matter what traces they are, even if... it's just the remains of a dilapidated warship!
