Star Empire

The situation in the void is worrying.

The mortal king's adventurous advance has put one of their feet on the borderline of danger and madness.

Not long ago, Father God and the Supreme Dark Goddess personally came as envoys to advise the apostles, explaining to the apostles the dangers of a series of extreme research they were conducting. They told the rulers of the empire at the time that these secrets rooted in the void needed to be treated with caution even by the powerful gods. These subjects are dangerous, and even powerful high-level true gods need to be careful about them, while low-level gods are not even allowed to touch these almost taboo subjects.

However, even the dissuasion and advice from the Supreme God and the King of Gods failed to achieve any results. After sending them out of the country, Xiling sealed its borders and further expelled all the Protoss observers. For the gods, the realm of the mortal king is now wrapped by the event horizon that spans the void. The empire's information is blocked within that vast territory, and no news can cross the high wall of the border.

Due to the reciprocal relationship, even the powerful gods of the star field have no better way to deal with this. After diplomatic efforts failed, they no longer had any way to interfere with the will of the apostles. Driven by the powerful trend of thought set off by countless nodes, a series of radical research has been put on the agenda.

The infinite cube that can produce unlimited extraordinary energy can make the information structure jump in the opposite direction, reactivate the energy differentiated to the extreme end into the endless jump formula of void energy, quickly extract order and laws from the void, and transform them like The world can be created by stuffing stuffing into the barrier of order. The success of one research after another and the many results they brought have allowed the powerful empire that seemed to have hit a bottleneck to once again usher in explosive development.

Radicalism and madness began to spread, penetrating into and filling the hearts of one ruler after another. The once most sane and calm race began to gradually indulge in these long-span studies.

Project X began to absorb more and more power and resources. Under the hard blue crystal cross, countless world grids became the cornerstone to support the operation of Project With huge energy, the will and power of the empire are continuously transported to everywhere where Project X is unfolding, and to the top of the pyramid where the empire is releasing brilliant light.

More resources spurred further plans, and even these plans had made some rulers in the empire feel that something was wrong. However, among the 135-seat Emperor's Council, only ten emperors stated that they would not participate in it, and only five had a clear opposition to it.

This weak voice was eventually drowned by the unstoppable trend.

"Princess of Warsong? She's just a simple-minded war madman who only knows how to open up territories. If you expect her to participate in these grand plans, it's better to forget it as soon as possible. As for the spell instructors? The Meditators? They are a group of cowardly guys. They are persistent. They completely believe in the suggestions of the Star Territory, and the slow Gods are always stalling for time. For hundreds of millions of years, those old-fashioned guys have made no progress! They don’t have any involvement if they don’t participate. Even without the support of those heaven districts, the plan will not work. It can also be executed on schedule!”

"However, there are indeed many phenomena worth noting recently - the empire's data network has recorded several abnormal activations of network nodes, the response speed of data related to Project X has been abnormally slowed down, and the processing speed of some databases has suddenly increased. Many master machines have conducted multiple joint checks with a large number of copy machines, but we still cannot determine what caused these anomalies."

"What? Aisain, do you also want to give in to cowardice? Project Are you ready to quit?"

"No, what I mean is that necessary defense methods still need to be in place, and relevant security measures should be further improved. For example, protective barriers should be added to those worlds responsible for major projects in Plan Databases and computing nodes increase the frequency of self-checks and joint checks. We cannot allow the abyss to take advantage."

"Esain's point is valid. Don't forget, we started a large number of subsequent sub-projects of Project X because Occam salvaged regular messages from the abyss - no matter who sent those messages, those messages After all, it comes from the abyss. We still don’t know what its nature is and what purpose it contains. We must further guard against its subsequent effects to avoid contaminating Project X.”

"Then let's do this. The world's security protection level for all major projects that are being implemented will be upgraded to another level. The frequency of self-inspection and mutual inspection of all communication centers and databases will be increased. The purification process and quarantine process will be repeated one more time after each test. These measures will always Is that enough?"

"Should we not conduct more in-depth explorations into the depths of the abyss? I mean, the interior of the abyss is so bad, it is unlikely that any civilization can survive in it. Are we being too reckless in making decisions now?"

"Mentakanla, you are willing to wait, but we are not willing to wait! Building another deep-diving ship of that size is a long way off! Not to mention, the infinite database that is likely to have unique attributes has already followed the deep-diving ship. Lost together! Harlan, your empire's number one scientist - can he succeed? Such an important thing as the abyssal submersible ship was lost even though it was heavily protected by the army! That lost Are crazy traitors so difficult to deal with?!"

"Enough! Now is not the time to attack each other! Where have you thrown all the glory of the apostles?!"

"Order the standing quick reaction army to prepare for attack! Notify all void line-finding radar arrays and ask the soldiers responsible for controlling them to maximize the sensitivity and scanning range! Don't worry about the computing power. How many copies of various models of host machines are needed? How many! This time, we must catch the wandering madman, and we can no longer let her army of destruction wander around the empire!"

"No need to wait any longer! Don't forget what the hopes and instructions we were originally given were! Revenge! Revenge to the abyss! No matter what is hiding in the depths of the abyss, since the messages it sends out are regular, it means that it is intelligent. ! An intelligent existence in the abyss must have similar attributes to the abyss, otherwise it would not be possible to appear there! Such a guy is the enemy of the empire and the target of the empire’s revenge! No matter what, the abyss must be eradicated! "

"The empire will never be destroyed! Xiling will live forever!"

"Reki, how's the situation?"

"Your Majesty, the situation is not optimistic. The Emperor's Council is accelerating every project under Plan X at all costs. With just a few limited opponents, Plan It’s possible.”

"How could this happen? Where has calmness and reason been placed? Why. Why do everyone become so arrogant now?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I cannot answer."

".I have been in contact with the ghost in the network. The "Xiling" said that she has tried her best. She wants to delay the progress of Project They warned. But these attempts received no response. The empire has gone crazy, and I am afraid that now, no one cares about anything."

"Xiling." Speaking of the strange individual born from the depths of the Internet, Reki herself felt a little unbelievable. After all, the birth of "Xiling" was completely unexpected by everyone. Who could have imagined that the vast empire network would be affected by a huge wave of thoughts that swept through 80% of the nodes in the entire network. And what about the birth of an existence that is infinitely close to "imperial consciousness"?

"I have explained to her the self-rescue plan prepared by the Fifteenth District. Research on conceptual separation will begin immediately. By dividing the technological side and the mysterious side, on the premise of ensuring the only existence, the Fifteenth District All the home star facilities will be divided into two. If the danger really arises, then half of the home star facilities in the fifteenth sky zone will inherit the "only existence" attribute of the capital of the entire sky zone."

"No matter which half is inherited, it will be destroyed by possible impacts. The other half will survive. "Xiling" has said that she will do her best to cooperate with our actions-"

"Your Majesty, this is Vanna - emergency! An experiment to reverse engineer the equivalent of the void has gone out of control!"

"Out of control?! What's the result?!"

"The Abyss - the strongest, most concentrated, and most intense super abyss complex that has ever appeared in the empire's recorded history! The emperors monitoring the experiment have been infected! I will use myself to temporarily delay the arrival of the abyss - Your Majesty, you must Success! The empire will last forever!"

"——Damn, we don't have time! We must mobilize all the resources we can raise to start research on conceptual separation! Vanna's power has overlapped with the capital barrier, which can probably delay the arrival of the abyssal impact by about a hundred years. Lei Ji? What are you looking at?"

"You can't see clearly now. Maybe you will have the opportunity to investigate in detail in the future." The female individual in military uniform called "Reki" shook her head slightly, "But Your Majesty, judging from those shadows, the future Things could be interesting.”

While the Fifteen Days District began to intensively prepare for the separation of concepts in an extremely limited time, deep in the empire, a devastating disaster has erupted, and the terrifying abyssal pollution has been released from the interior of the test site. , the contamination infected the emperors who personally directed the experiments at the site, and the violent abyss used these emperors as a springboard for further spread.

Along the empire's authority network and along the body of "Xiling", black and red two-dimensional patterns suddenly exploded. It swept across countless world grids and countless magnificent and glorious giant facilities, destroying and destroying everything. The differences spread to this powerful mortal kingdom in the void that has lasted for trillions of years.

Xiling's experiment was "successful", or in other words, the empire had embarked on a path that no one had taken before.

However, the impact of this "success" is something that this powerful mortal nation in the void, second only to the gods, cannot bear.

The huge void energy directed into the test site from countless world grids formed a spire. The existence of this spire further contributed to an unprecedented powerful emergence ceremony in the void.

In a very short but extremely rapid process, this illusory but extremely huge tower standing in the void tore apart the barrier of the curtain, allowing the powerful external force brought by the "void" to surge in in a short period of time. Flowing into this peaceful order that maintained dynamic balance not long ago.

In response, at the feet of the empire, in the deepest part of the abyss, the great membrane dividing the two sides of the Taiwan Strait erupted into a violent counterattack of unprecedented scale and intensity against this external force. The unprecedentedly powerful Abyss suddenly erupted, and its momentum was unstoppable.

However, Damo’s counterattack is not limited to this shore.

During the powerful counter-shock of the large membrane, its shaking also had a violent impact on the "reflection" at Xiling's feet, and on the other shore that needed to be seen across the entire abyssal layer.

For a long time, the boundary of order and the void outside order have been in relative dynamic balance. The curtain is a barrier that separates order from the chaos outside order. At the same time, it is also a gap - a gap that is wrapped in order and void.

In this gap, the ancient will that was once ejected from the orderly environment due to the failure to build the bridge has been struggling and howling here for trillions of years. There is no time here, nothing exists here, it will not stop struggling, it has no movement, it will not stop struggling, it is timeless, it will not change, it will not stop howling.

Along with the rapid collapse of the top civilization on the other side, the big membrane began to shake and tremble violently, and the movements of the big membrane also interfered with the stability of this "crack".

The "cage", this vast and boundless "cage" of nothingness, was opened.
