This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 84 Never Back Off!

Three hours later, Nie Weiyang sat in front of a familiar-looking operating terminal, bathed in a cold yet scorching blue light, his face not looking very good.

Before him lay dozens of stacked file windows, resembling a chaotic jumble of documents. The top few, in particular, had titles that read:

"The flames of war are blocked outside, we are safe, temporarily"—this article describes a physical war from the stars, the damage it brought was blocked by the planet's barrier. This made Nie Weiyang think of the damaged planetary barrier, the high temperature outside the planetary barrier, the terrain editor's out-of-control, and the abnormally high and low temperatures on the planet's home planet in the future.

He was a little curious about the current status of the 'Blood Moon' outside the planet's barrier, bathed in high temperatures and war.
"Migration and Migration: Where is the Future of Civilization?"—a discussion of the migration of civilizations, but filled with complaints. Of course, Nie Weiyang had long known that the New World wasn't the home planet of the previous civilization. The race also known as "Homo sapiens" and "humans" came from another planet in the same star system, and their home planet had long been destroyed.

Uninvited Guests from the Sky: The Anomalous Tolianja, Once Called 'Demons' by Their Homeworld—Tolianja, the name of the "Sky-Driving Demons." Could it be that their homeworld, long since destroyed by the previous civilization, had left their traces? The history of the Sky-Driving Demons' conflict with "Homo Sapiens" was perhaps even longer than he had known in his previous life.

Artificial empathy technology has been applied to combat semantic drift - Boundary Wars. I don't know what the hell is causing this.

"Hope is disconnected, glory has fallen, where is the dawn?" - Space Station.

……

space station.

As early as in the introduction of the terrain editor, Nie Weiyang knew the names of the space stations of the three previous civilizations: Hope, Glory, and Dawn.

Yes, there are three such huge structures that are home to at least one billion people, and all of them have lost connection with any of the planet's native systems.

If Nie Weiyang wants to ensure that more people survive, he needs to restart all the shelters and CSSS system anchors, clear the erosion from the boundary war inside the planet's barrier, and eliminate the boss of non-intelligent man-made objects in order to regain control of the planet called 'T6'.

The long list of suggested shelter links made him feel a little numb just looking at it.

Nie Weiyang opened the last article again. It was a news report with the subtitle "The legendary lighthouse of the sea of ​​stars of Homo sapiens has gone out."

The author and date information are filled in: [■■■■■■■ News Agency - reporter Ross, reported on ■■■■, ■■ month, ■■ day, ■■■ year].

With the loss of connection to the Glory Space Station, the three most magnificent deep space outposts in the history of Homo sapiens—Hope, Glory, and Dawn Space Stations, known as "beacons of civilization"—have successively fallen silent or been destroyed. With the death of Glory, the chapter of space exploration in human history has come to a heartbreaking end...

■■■ years ago, as part of the Artificial Empathy Project, the Hope Space Station proactively disconnected from the planet's home planet, turning our compatriots into visible, unfamiliar artificial celestial bodies. Only when it returned to the T6 public orbit once a year did we realize they were still there.

■■■ years ago, the Dawn Space Station, carrying the hopes of mankind and the spark of civilization, fled this battlefield and disappeared into deep space. We have not received the communication messages sent regularly as planned for ■■■ years.

Now, the Glory Space Station has fallen into the Netherworld...

...]

Ok.

very nice.

It's interesting to be able to access secret knowledge here.

——There’s a space station in the underworld too?!
That space station called Glory, you were just hanging in orbit, how did you get to the Netherworld?!
Nie Weiyang felt a slight headache. He knew that his eyes were a little bloodshot. This was a sign of being exposed to too much high-risk knowledge in a short period of time and had nothing to do with the specific value of his mental strength.

If this information were broadcast, most of the human population would probably be controlled for a long time, and some people's brains might even explode into fireworks.

The pernicious nature of the Returning Sect is vividly demonstrated here. Knowledge is power, and this organization, hiding too many secrets, is quick to throw knowledge around and overturn tables when desperate; they have indeed broadcast secret knowledge more than once. And they have no shortage of knowledge sources; the Voidwalkers have such a long history of dealing with Homo sapiens, and even possess the technology to infiltrate pre-civilized cities, their stockpile of secret knowledge is outrageously thick. Nie Weiyang took a deep breath, closed these information windows, and glanced at the mainframe log interface.

There are indeed a lot of gaps there. Even the arrival of Nie Weiyang himself, the battle in the City Voice, and the information related to Administrator No. 2 were not recorded.

This is very strange. During this night, something was synchronously deleting the log records of the C3510 city host!
Nie Weiyang turned off the operating table and raised his head. His sunglasses reflected a soft stream of ice-blue light. The light was strange and faintly purple when it faded. The luminous body was a complete white crystal, about 25 meters high and more than 6 meters in diameter.

This is a huge crystal of the mind, which is shrouded in several layers of glass cylindrical barriers and sits on a black mechanical platform that looks like an altar or a lathe.

Its light shouldn't have shifted to a bluish-purple hue. The reason for this shift was that at its four corners, four Netherworld crystals, like miniature versions of the Heart Crystal, were bound and functioning in a similar manner. These crystals were connected to the Heart Crystal by a metal structure on the surface. This structure, buried deep underground, continuously transmitted energy and information from the Netherworld.

This is the core of the city's host server. Hundreds of servers surround it like radial lines in all directions.

The operating table where Nie Weiyang was located was right below it.

Now, as he knows more and more, the road ahead that seemed clear at first begins to be shrouded in fog.

This fog comes from the distant history. At first glance, it seems to have no beginning and no end. It surrounds the entire world, shrouding three civilizations: the new, the old, and the invader. It wants to destroy the earthlings who have come from afar with the dangers hidden in the fog, and to set off layers of devastating waves in the new world.

Nie Weiyang knew that the wave had indeed risen... no, it had already risen. Everything that was happening now was just a tiny drop of water on the wave. And everyone in it was just a grain of sand.

A poet once said that the sea has no time to talk to the sand, it is always busy composing the waves.

The universe, nature, war, and times have always been like this.

But, if it has always been like this, do we have to accept it?
Nie Weiyang's eyes fell on the dark screen of the server. He knew that in the previous life, no one had probably opened it normally - even the Sky-crossing Demon could only gain control of the host by erosion, and the mysterious power that synchronously deleted the logs could naturally also synchronously delete the information database in the process.

The end of the article played out in his mind.

As the giant structures bearing the weight of human wisdom and courage gradually vanish into the boundless darkness, what remains is more than nothingness. The silent coordinates in deep space still silently speak of humanity's eternal desire and unyielding will to reach the stars.

We have lost the lighthouse, but the ship still needs to move forward.

Nie Weiyang turned and left.

The Voice of the City, the production office of the CSSS security unit, is naturally the anchor point of the CSSS system.

He also needed to connect to the refuges to truly gain control of the city's voice. He had to travel the land, connecting to Earth's cities and every star left behind by previous civilizations. He understood that he had to weave a network strong enough to support the planet's defenses and withstand future crises...

It is not enough to simply catch up with a destiny for a short time.

Far from enough!

He also had to strangle the enemy by the throat, making the Return Sect spit out all the secrets about the Netherworld and the Sky-crossing Demon. He also had to strangle fate by the throat, and pull out all the better possibilities for the future from them.

It will be a long road, and under the impact of the waves of fate, pioneers will either advance or retreat.

And Nie Weiyang never retreats!

　Good! Go and distribute lucky numbers all over the world! (Hey
