"Boss, you'd better come and take a look.∈♦," Zhang Qifan, who was training Douglas with No. 2 Zack, suddenly received a message from Schneider in his soul.
When he transferred his thoughts to the No. 1 Coffin of All Souls, he could clearly feel some delay, just like when he was online, the network was blocked and the other party had not received a sentence for a long time.
Zhang Qifan had encountered a similar situation when he was in the Forward Fortress and controlled Yulian to seize the Golden Point, but it was because of the low soul strength at that time.
With his current soul strength of two million points, this kind of delay should not occur. Moreover, there was no delay when he first entered the Abyss. Now he only cut out for a few days and came back to this situation. Obviously, something happened that he didn't understand.
Looking out again, he saw that the entire area near the Coffin of All Souls was in a state of stagnation. For example, those rays, radiation, light waves, etc. that should have reached the speed of light were all moving at a speed lower than that of light.
"How could this happen? What happened?" Zhang Qifan asked Schneider and Rose.
"We don't know what happened either." Schneider responded: "Nothing special happened at first, but Rose found that the timer was a little slow. At first we thought the timer was broken and were about to change a timer, but who knew that all the timers had the same problem. Finally we measured the speed of light and found that the speed of light was slowing down."
The speed of light is slowing down?
Zhang Qifan shook his head: "No, it's time that is slowing down." He saw through the essence of the phenomenon at a glance. It's not that the speed of light is slowing down. It's that time is slowing down. These are two different concepts.
It's not too difficult to slow down the speed of light. He can do it, Helena can do it. Even some level 4 civilizations can do it easily, and there are many ways.
For example, using strong gravity to bind light particles, or expanding space, causing light to take longer to pass the same distance, and the speed of light will slow down accordingly.
But slowing down time is not something that ordinary people can do. Time is the basis for the existence of all matter and energy. If this basis is lost, matter and energy cannot exist. Slowing down time is equivalent to controlling this basis.
At least the fifth-level civilization cannot do this. Whether it is the Queen of Star Crystal, Photon, King of Titan, Helena, etc., it is impossible to control time.
If it is not man-made, is it a natural phenomenon? This thought flashed through Zhang Qifan's mind, but he was immediately rejected.
Whether it is Zach's memory or the records of the Titans and Blue Crystals. There is no similar thing happening. Zhang Qifan doesn't think that with the coverage of their database, they will miss this strange phenomenon?
"Find out the reason." Zhang Qifan did not hesitate. He gave orders directly to Schneider and Rose. Of course, he would not be idle. It's just that the delay in the connection of thoughts made him feel constrained.
Without Zhang Qifan's order, Schneider was already doing this work, and it didn't take long. He then informed Zhang Qifan: "Boss, I found a large-scale energy migration. I wonder if this is the reason?"
"Energy migration? Where to?" Because of the delay, Zhang Qifan's reaction was half a beat slower than Schneider's. As soon as Schneider finished speaking, he also noticed the phenomenon of energy migration.
The adjective "large-scale" can be used, so it is naturally not small, but I didn't expect the scale to be so "large".
Zhang Qifan's soul extended outward for a full half light year, but found that all the energy in the entire range was migrating in the same direction. He was now like being in a surging river.
Because the scale of energy migration was so huge, the speed of time in the entire range was seriously affected, which led to the slowing of light speed and timer.
At first, they did not find this energy migration because they were in the river, just like people on Earth would not feel the rotation of the Earth.
Then, Zhang Qifan discovered another situation. This large-scale energy migration seemed to be triggered by the Coffin of All Souls, and the direction of energy migration...
Zhang Qifan turned back to the star map, rotating and zooming, and finally his eyes fell on a small red dot. The direction of energy migration was surprisingly towards the location of this small red dot. At this location, there was another Coffin of All Souls.
…
Since the death of King Liuyun and the annihilation of the Iron Legion he sent to rescue, the Iron King turned off the transmission coordinates of the No. 3 Coffin of All Souls. The public coordinates would only expose his location.
The Coffin of All Souls has been in the hands of the Iron King for 70,000 years. He snatched it from the previous owner.
The Coffin of All Souls is very famous in the universe. It is a relic of a few sixth-level civilization creations, but it also has a nickname, called the Coffin of Doom, because it will bring doom to its owner.
In total, the Coffin of All Souls in the hands of the Iron King has changed seven or eight owners. The end of each owner is very tragic. Some of them even went directly extinct and disappeared completely from the universe.
But this does not reduce the attraction of the Coffin of All Souls. All civilizations hope to possess a creation of level six civilization so that they can crack some of the level six civilization's technologies from it to guide themselves to a higher level.
So the fight for each Coffin of All Souls is very tragic.
The Iron King is a very powerful existence in the Milky Way. Except for the fifth-level civilizations such as the Star Crystal Queen and the Titan King, other fourth-level civilizations are not a big threat to him.
He is an intelligent machine life, one of the three public enemies of the Milky Way. Undead creatures, Zerg, and intelligent machines among intelligent machines.
This kind of intelligent machine that can expand infinitely and replicate itself at will is full of predatory nature like the Zerg. Wherever it passes, it will exhaust all resources and turn the planet into a wasteland.
Logically speaking, such a public enemy of the Milky Way should not exist for so long. And not be surrounded and eliminated by other civilizations. But the fact is that not only no one has surrounded and suppressed the Iron King. Even if any civilization dares to harm the Iron King, it will cause public outrage.
Because to describe the Iron King. Two idioms can be used: ancient and warm-hearted, righteous and righteous.
The King of Steel is very willing to help others. This can be seen from the experience of the King of Flowing Clouds. When the King of Flowing Clouds encountered danger, he sent out a legion without saying a word.
Many civilizations have received selfless help from the King of Steel in the process of growth, and this help is unrequited.
There are two main reasons for this situation. One is that the civilization that created the King of Steel had this setting of actively helping others in the original program set for him. As a result, he continued this setting after awakening his self-awareness.
The second reason is that as an intelligent life, the cost of helping others is very low. Among the intelligent lives that are infinitely replicated, the only one who has wisdom is the King of Steel himself, but if his program is copied, a King of Steel without wisdom but equally powerful intelligence will come out.
Humans need at least ten months of pregnancy and eighteen years of cultivation to become adults, but the King of Steel only needs to create a body. Copy part of his own program into it, and an intelligent life will be formed.
So when the King of Steel helps others, he does not seek any reward at all.
However, things like cause and effect are sometimes so wonderful. Because there were so many civilizations that he helped, he became the most popular and respected existence in the entire river system as a public enemy of the river system.
The King of Steel snatched the Coffin of All Souls for similar reasons. Because the previous owner of the Coffin of All Souls was a civilization with a bad record. They acted very barbarically and plundered. They enslaved and slaughtered other civilizations and species.
Some civilizations that were plundered and slaughtered reported the situation to the King of Steel and strongly requested the King of Steel to do justice. So the King of Steel destroyed this civilization and snatched the Coffin of All Souls.
In his hands, the Coffin of All Souls became an external transportation hub. The teleportation coordinates in the overlapping space can be used by everyone. If you occasionally borrow the road, the teleportation fee is free. If you use it frequently, you only need to pay the cost price to allow the teleportation array to have enough energy to operate.
The low teleportation fee made the Coffin of All Souls of the King of Steel increasingly busy, and soon the teleportation channel was crowded.
As a last resort, the King of Steel could only build a large star gate nearby to facilitate the flow of people from all over.
Relying on the star gate and the teleportation array, coupled with the enthusiasm and fairness of the King of Steel, a shelter was spontaneously formed here, becoming a place for exchanges, trade, and learning between major civilizations.
Compared with other shelters, the King of Steel's shelter is relatively loose and has no taxes.
As the starting point of the shelter, the Coffin of All Souls was abandoned after the star gate was built because the capacity of the teleportation array was too small. Usually only the King of Steel himself used it.
In the past tens of thousands of years, the King of Steel has used countless means to study the Coffin of All Souls, and finally came to the same conclusion as Zhang Qifan, that this is one of the links of the Galaxy Seal.
However, because a key link is missing, the Galaxy Seal cannot be operated, and there is no way to know the role and power of the seal. The Coffin of All Souls itself does not have too high technical content. In summary, it is tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon it.
This is also the reason why the fifth-level civilizations such as the Star Crystal Queen and the Titan King did not come to rob the Coffin of All Souls. They looked down on it.
The King of Steel now looked down on the Coffin of All Souls. He did not discover any advanced technology from it, but was worried about preventing others from spying on it.
Even a few years ago, there was a civilization that was not clear about the situation and sent more than a dozen fleets to rob the Coffin of All Souls. However, the number of warships in the opponent's dozen fleets added up was not as many as the number of warships in the King of Steel's legion, and the King of Steel had six of the same legion.
In the end, the King of Steel did not make things difficult for the opponent. He just taught them a lesson and let them go. Instead, some civilizations that had received help from the King of Steel learned about it and took turns to educate this civilization. After several times of education, this civilization was unable to recover.
But now, the Coffin of All Souls, which was regarded as a chicken rib by the King of Steel, suddenly produced a strong energy reaction. A large amount of energy began to migrate within a half-light-year distance with it as the center point. (To be continued..)
