I can't afford to support the ship girl, so I decided to hand myself over

"Master, your exclusive maid Rita is back."

Owner……

This was the first time Rita had called him that.

There was some deep meaning in Sun Xianyun's eyes—it seemed that the encounter of being targeted by the Zerg master this time really made this sister Tazi who seemed to be fearless, fearless of overturning and car accidents, really frightened.

So much so that after being rescued, Rita showed enthusiasm that she never had before.

……Dividing line……

"Sorry for worrying you."

"I'm ok."

"Thanks to the general, that's what I said, I have to thank the general afterward."

In the ward, Rita woke up surrounded by a group of people, smiling sweetly, coping with everyone's concerns with ease.

Sun Xianyun and Lexington stood on the periphery, but saw that Rita always cast her eyes here secretly, and occasionally her eyes met. Wrap the whole thing up.

However, the clever lady maid didn't seem to show any abnormalities other than that.

Letting go of things here for the time being, Sun Xianyun has another important thing to do now.

"It's a great pleasure to meet you, great pioneer, mentor, practitioner of truth, and guide of all spirits."

On the bridge, when Sun Xianyun met Zeratul, the latter threw out this long string of compliments as soon as he came up.

When will the Dark Templar be flattering like this! ?

Sun Xianyun looked at Zeratul in front of him with some pain. He was wearing a simple or even worn-out cloak. Originally, even his head should be hidden under the hood of the cloak, but now the hood is because he wants to see Sun Xianyun. And it was taken off, revealing his... well, distinctive protoss head.

This guy even took off his long purple cloth that covered the lower half of his face.

The eldest lady looked at the side for a long time, and suddenly said: "It turns out that you really have no mouths!"

Zeratul: "..."

"Sorry, this is my ignorant daughter...Girl, please apologize!"

"It's okay, mentor, the Dark Templar will not care about such trivial matters."

Zeratul was very polite, maybe even too polite.

"I'm curious why you call us mentors." Sun Xianyun asked the doubts in his heart.

"Because Xel'Naga, Master."

Zeratul's words were unexpected.

"It is true that the Protoss and the Xel'Naga have some... well, not a happy past, but we must also admit that it was the Xel'Naga who led the Protos to the original evolutionary path."

Zeratul's glowing green eyes flickered.

"Over the years, I have been pursuing the truth of the universe, and also looking for a way to avoid the extinction of the Protoss. By chance, I discovered the remains of Xel'Naga somewhere."

After a pause, Zeratul added:

"It's the real Xel'Naga located in the endless void, not the Xel'Naga clone in the universe."

At this moment, Sun Xianyun's gaze finally changed slightly.

The Xel'Naga fused the entire race into a huge single high-level creature, and wandered in the void. The Xel'Naga that appeared in other universes and were responsible for spreading the seeds of life were just the embodiment of a ray of power hanging down from it. .

Obviously, Zeratul can speak the endless void, and the words of Xel'Naga's avatar indicate that he has come into contact with the truth about Xel'Naga.

At least in this respect, he is far ahead of everyone.

Chapter 706: Boast more, Uncle Z boast more

In the No. 1 local universe, as the official of StarCraft, Bakuxue once made a series of book-eating behaviors.

The biggest example is that in the first generation of StarCraft and the official novel, Xel'Naga once actively intervened in the evolution process of the protoss, even so the protoss also experienced internal divisions afterwards, which led to Xel'Naga Disappointed and left the home planet of the protoss, and this behavior was also regarded as a betrayal by the protoss.

But in the second generation of StarCraft, the official decisively eats the book. In the new setting, Saarna has become a race that only spreads the seeds of life but will never interfere with the evolution of creatures. The one who interferes with the evolution of the protoss is the fallen Thrall. Naga, also known as Amon.

Amon lacked energy due to lack of deep sleep. In order to make up for it, he began to secretly kill some protoss and absorb their energy.With the death of a large number of protoss, the ancient protoss finally discovered Amon's secret and attacked him angrily.This aroused Amon's fury, and he left the protoss mother planet Aiur, and determined to destroy it in the years that followed.

Through communicating with Zeratul, Sun Xianyun discovered that the overall history of the universe follows the setting of the second generation of StarCraft, but there are also changes in many details-.

For example, in the so-called official setting, the Xel'Naga will look for a race with a pure body and a pure spirit, and let the two merge with each other, and then the oldest person in the Xel'Naga will sacrifice his life to let the selected The race of the Xel'Naga was promoted to the new Xel'Naga—because the lifespan of the Xel'Naga's race was very short, and it had to be done in order to maintain the endless cycle.

But that's clearly not the case in the real world.

The Xel'Naga civilization, which originated from the No. 1 local universe, fused all the individuals of the whole family into one, turning into a single super life form that wandered in the endless void, with a lifespan that was almost endless.

He no longer spreads life and selects civilizations for the so-called endless reincarnation, but in order to pursue the secrets of the virtual world and the ultimate truth, he will continue to inject his own power into different universes. Xel'Naga avatar, or choose a qualified object to fuse with it, making it a brand new Xel'Naga—for example, an ascender like Amon.

No matter what form the Xel'Naga was born in, the ultimate mission is to screen qualified civilizations so that the best Xel'Naga incarnations can be promoted to the endless void and integrated into the real Xel'Naga body.

In other words, it is not to integrate, but to replace the original real Xel'Naga, and inherit his will, pursue the truth, and spread life.

But in any case, Xel'Naga's guidance to the Protoss exists, because the Xel'Naga's incarnation in this universe—Amon, violated Xel'Naga's principle of not interfering in the evolution of life, and ended up personally.

Therefore, the shadow of Xel'Naga's technology tree can be clearly seen in the technology of the protoss. The self-discipline fleet created by the Suzheng 2 little girl from the Xel'Naga technology system.

"I listened to the teachings of the Holy Teacher and understood his great mission. Although I can't imagine what terrible disasters and enemies it is that makes a great existence like the Holy Teacher extremely vigilant, eager to pursue the ultimate truth. fight against it."

"But I understand that from the time I knew all this, my mission was to find the destined savior. Before that, I suspected that it was Kerrigan, who is now the Queen of Blades. But when I met Ulandal After Miss, I understand that the person I am waiting for is you."

No, no, Uncle Z, your suspicion is not wrong. In theory, Kerrigan is really the destined savior.

But at the end of the plot, they summoned the three clans to kill the big boss and even directly transformed into a "god".

Seeing Zeratul's earnest eyes, Sun Xianyun finally did not say this.

Although it is a bit self-confident to say this, Sun Xianyun does think that he is more suitable to replace the old Xel'Naga and become the new Xel'Naga than Kerrigan or the Queen of Blades-although he has no such idea at all .

Who made him theoretically stand at a higher level than Xel'Naga at this time?

The imaginary realm that Sarnaga tried so hard to pursue, for Sun Xianyun, he came and left whenever he wanted, just like a public toilet...

So, let Zeratul call him a mentor, it seems that there is no problem...

But this feeling of being honored as "mentor" by the famous Uncle Z with a very respectful attitude is really great!

"Dad, calm down, the corners of your mouth are almost reaching your ears."

The voice from the eldest lady rang directly in Sun Xianyun's mind. Fortunately, this girl still knows how to communicate with her heart instead of speaking directly.

"Ahem, alright! In fact, our idea coincides with the xel'naga in the endless void to some extent."

Sun Xianyun nodded at Zeratul with a straight face.

"Perhaps you may not believe it, but we are actually a very young civilization, possibly younger than any race in the Koprulu sector. Even from the time we stepped into space to the present, less than 100 years have passed .”

——Well, it’s not even 50 years. It’s not been a few years since the first Tujia astronaut set foot in space, isn’t it?

It's incredible to think about it!

"This is impossible!"

Sure enough, Zeratul immediately exclaimed.

In his opinion, even if the new mentor who can become the successor of the most holy mentor is not as old as Xel'Naga, he should not be so young.

"Nothing is impossible. Our science and technology have experienced incredible and explosive growth in the past ten years. This is due to the efforts of our own scientific researchers and gifts from many predecessors in the galaxy."

Zeratul still felt a little dizzy, and after a long while, he calmed down and nodded slightly.

"Even so, as you said, mentor, to be able to receive gifts from those seniors, the mentor also has its own advantages."

After a pause, Zeratul said slowly: "I learned from that powerful warrior named Chaoge the idea of ​​the mentor, you maintain the balance of the universe, extinguish the flames of evil, and support the righteous and kind. Civilization, especially you, the mentor, has saved one civilization after another on the brink of destruction and united them..."

Sun Xianyun blushed a little after being praised.

So Uncle Z, hurry up and step up your efforts!Sichuan.

Chapter 707 Your universe is collapsing

Obviously, during the period of the trek, Chaoge almost spared no effort to make Amway to Zeratul.

Because of his trust in the real Xel'Naga in the void, although Zeratul did not fully believe Chao Ge's words-after all, Sun Xianyun was almost boasted as a saint in this girl's mouth-but he still maintained a sustainable Attitude of concern.

What's more, if Sun Xianyun is really what Chao Ge said, and the Pan-Universal Rabbit Alliance and Star Sea Alliance behind the United Fleet really have the great ideal of being the Guardian of the Galaxy, Zeratul will definitely not mind offering his loyalty .

Because it fits perfectly with his own philosophy.

What else in this world would make someone like Zeratul, who values ​​faith and ideals extremely important, more joyful than following an extremely powerful man whose ideals are almost the same as his own?

If it is said that the purpose of acting together with Ulandal and others at the beginning was to ensure that Rita would not be captured by the Zerg, and if he could help at critical moments, then Zeratul just wanted to stay by Sun Xianyun's side and observe closely. to decide their own future.

As for Sun Xianyun——

『Mission 1: Rescue the soldier Ulandal and retrieve the Trek Team. 』

『Task Reward: The progress of the reverse research on Xel’Naga’s heritage has been accelerated, and the analysis of the entropy recursion theory has been completed! 』

『The task has been completed, and the task rewards have been issued due to its special nature! 』

This is probably similar to the BUFF bonus obtained by the idealist civilization in Stellaris after the psyker seeks enlightenment from the Void.

For example, scientific research speed +20% or something.

Through a little communication with the system, Sun Xianyun knew that the form of this reward was completed in a "flash of inspiration".

In the future, the researchers responsible for the reverse research of Xel'Naga's legacy will always come up with some very powerful inspirations from time to time, greatly accelerating the speed of research.

As for the entropy recursion theory, it also came from Xel'Naga.

According to the entropy recursion theory, as long as the price paid is large enough, the entropy increase that seems to lead to the inevitable progress of the universe can be stagnated or even reversed.

This is a basic theory, and its analysis cannot be transformed into practically usable technology, but it has laid a solid foundation for subsequent research.

For example - Omega Theory.

When the paradoxes of space and time start to intertwine, the process of increasing entropy—in romantic terms, the so-called long river of time will produce an existence that is like the strongest rock climbing, no matter how the tide of time beats.

If a civilization can analyze it, study it, and even control it, then this civilization may be completely transformed and sublimated.

This sublimation is not aimed at one or a certain group of individuals, but at the concept called "civilization".

Endless void, thousands of universes, every world under the virtual world, as long as they can be attributed to the existence under this concept of civilization, they will be naturally recognized by the virtual world as sublimators.

As long as it is recognized as a member of this civilization, it can enjoy immunity from the void.

Ignoring the chaos of the law of the endless void, ignoring the existential paradox brought about by the difference in the underlying rules of other universes.

In other words, every individual in a civilization that has completed the Omega theory can perfectly adapt to any rules under the virtual environment, and no longer have to worry about going to a strange universe, and their own existence will be affected due to incompatible laws. Doubt and even collapse.

There is no doubt that this is a very useful technology for the rabbit who is inspired to become a guardian of the galaxy-if you can't even make yourself perfectly adapt to the rules of other universes, how can you defend it?

Of course, this kind of sublimation is only possible, Xel'Naga was unable to do it.

Because to complete this step thoroughly, the last but most important task is to engrave the signal of one's own civilization into the virtual world, so that the civilization itself becomes a part of the virtual world.

To achieve this, it is impossible to complete without an individual who can reach the void as a bridge.

So Xernagar is stuck at the last step. They can only use the method of wandering in the endless void and using incarnations to enter other universes, and make themselves an existence that ignores the rules of different universes in disguise.

After completing mission one, Sun Xianyun looked at his remaining two missions.

『Task 2: Wake up the dormant Xel'Naga clone and stop Amon's plan. 』

『Mission Reward: Half-body Lexington is unconditionally upgraded to a Titan, and comes with regular Titan design blueprint-level construction technology. 』

"Task 3: Completely solve the problem of erosion of the StarCraft universe from the other side of the virtual world (optional)"

『Mission Reward: New Chief Flagship Master (with blueprints and construction techniques)』

Task [-] is optional, while Task [-] must be completed

In the past, Sun Xianyun would still have a sense of urgency because if he could not complete the task, he would not be able to rely on the system to return to the local universe, but now that the rabbit itself has the technology to cross the void and cross the world, this restriction has long been invalid for Sun Xianyun , so that he can complete these tasks in an orderly manner with a leisurely and comfortable attitude.

So, Sun Xianyun called Zeratul into the meeting room, and Jim Raynor came with him.

"Hello, my best friend, we meet again."

Seeing Jim Raynor walking in, Zeratul greeted him first.

Jim Raynor was very happy to see Zeratul, he smiled and walked to sit next to him, and asked: "I heard that you are operating with a small team under the general, how is it, has anything happened recently? ?”

"Everything is fine, the revelation of the truth guided me to find my mentor, but you are involved in trouble again?"
