Zongman: My five senses are connected with the proud daughter of the world

It was able to make it so that even his spiritual perception could not detect the problem at the first moment. The deceptiveness of this ability or the authenticity of the constructed illusion was already good enough.

and so--

"Actually, before you implanted the crystals into Tetsu and Suzu's eyes, you did something to your own body with them, right?"

"That's natural." Carlos didn't hide it. "After all, I'm the teacher of those two children. I can't do anything to their bodies before I'm sure they're safe."

"I discovered that crystals can allow the human body to evolve in a way that allows it to adapt to and utilize the void and the ether. I even found a way to accelerate this evolution. The crystals transformed my mind. Although I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, I believe this is the fundamental reason why I've become what I am now."

"This is why I've always advocated for the peaceful use of the ether, slowing down the process and ensuring safety. But many people disagree, or believe that the growing expansion of the void won't leave humanity enough time."

"Not to mention the Praise Society. Those guys have always believed in the so-called Ancestor, but they don't know that the Ancestor is not a god that can bring about evolution and a new world. Instead, it is a taboo that we humans must absolutely, absolutely not touch or observe."

Why does this sound so familiar?

..0 0

It can't be those SAN-losing ones, right?

"...Perhaps, they are not completely ignorant of the truth?" Jiang Lianqiu speculated, "It is precisely because they can glimpse the tip of the iceberg that they have such fanatical faith and are willing to follow it at all costs."

He looked at Carlos curiously again: "What about you? How much do you know about the First Ancestor?"

"It doesn't belong to our world," Carlos replied seriously, "nor is it on this planet. It's in the mirage above our heads, in that enormous lunar cavity."

Jiang Lianqiu was not surprised. He had been suspicious about the moon from the beginning.

"Did you know that there are actually channels connecting different voids?"

"I know."

"Is that so? That makes it easier for me to explain." Carlos wasn't surprised that Jiang Lianqiu knew about this either. "Have you ever thought, since the voids are connected to each other, is there a passageway that connects to the moon?"

Jiang Lianqiu pondered for a moment, then recalled the plot of ZZZ, and finally replied softly, "It once existed, but it was cut off. If my guess is correct, the intermediate passage that once connected the ground and the lunar cavity was destroyed by that Xu Hunter, the inventor of Bomb, Ms. Wan Zhou. The Nest Master's cavity in the sky was there, right?"

"So, Ms. Wan Zhou, you have severed the connection between the ground and the lunar cavity?"

Regarding the concept PV of the Void Hunter, the greatest achievement of Lady Wan Zhou is introduced, which is to destroy the Floating Hollow Nest Master.

Chapter 207: I Waited for the Savior

If you look closely at the scene in which Bringer shouts "Ancestor, please shape me", and the huge golden lines like a magic circle suddenly unfold on the ground beneath him, you will find that the pattern is actually a series of circles, and these circles are connected by different golden channels.

Obviously, these rings represent different voids, and the golden channels connecting the voids indicate that the Praise Society must have known from a long time ago that there are connections between the voids.

"I actually discovered these through research after discovering the remains of that ancient civilization."

Carlos explained the reason for the incident.

"Are you the only one who can research this?" Jiang Lianqiu was very curious about this matter.

"Only me." Carlos nodded, "But it's not because I'm particularly smart, but because I discovered the crystals at the same time as I discovered the ruins equipment."

"My contact with the crystals has given me some knowledge from previous civilizations that doesn't belong to this era."

"That's why I was able to study that device successfully. Besides me, the Helios Agency, and indeed anyone else in the world, is helpless."

"And those discoveries have made me absolutely certain of the danger of the Progenitor. It seems to possess the ability to distort people's minds. If the research results are exposed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Jiang Lianqiu expressed his understanding.

Bullinger was originally a very upright sheriff, but after he disappeared and returned during a cave rescue, his personality changed drastically. He became a member of the Praise Society and madly worshipped the ancestor.

If it is the First Ancestor or the power of the First Ancestor that can distort the human mind, then everything can be explained.

"I discovered the ruins in Lingbo—that is, Void Zero before the Chaos Expansion. I also found the remains of Lady Wan Zhou nearby."

"I suspect that the object may have originally existed in the Nest Master Hollow, and fell into the Lingbo Hollow after Lady Wan Zhou destroyed the Nest Master Hollow."

"Wait, you said Ms. Wan Zhou has already?" Jiang Lianqiu was a little surprised.

"Isn't that strange?" Carlos explained, "Ms. Wan Zhou and the third-generation head of the Hoshimi family are contemporaries."

That is the ancestor of Xingjianya who killed the Bishop of the Praise Society.

After being reminded, Jiang Lianqiu remembered this and nodded to signal Carlos to continue.

"The ancient civilization discovered the Progenitor on the moon. At that time, there were no holes in the world, but people still detected the presence of etheric energy near the Progenitor's enormous body."

"This extremely dangerous yet deadly energy caused the ancient civilization to devote all its social resources to research, and even led to a brutal war among the major powers of the time."

"The war accelerated research into the Aether, ultimately leading to disaster and the Hollow."

"The extra knowledge about pre-civilization that I have in my brain is part of the memory of a scholar of that time."

"That memory tells me that during that era, the entire world went mad. People's morals were completely corrupted. For the advancement of science and technology, all ethical principles were completely discarded. All kinds of unscrupulous technologies were constantly developed. From the highest echelons of society to the lowest common denominator, everyone seemed to have lost all sense of morality."

"Can you imagine? People in that era even developed a technology called Living Iron Mesh for warfare. As the name suggests, it's a wire mesh that's activated by ether erosion."

"Once deployed on the battlefield, this type of barbed wire, once in contact with a soldier, will pierce and penetrate the soldier's body with its living wires, continuously multiplying itself, devouring the soldiers on the battlefield like a man-eating monster, and then using their flesh and blood to continue expanding... The terrifying thing is that even the lower-level soldiers themselves don't think this kind of technology that will make them suffer in extreme pain is worthless."

"As for the use of nuclear bombs to wipe out the enemy troops, the city itself, and its own civilians if a city is occupied by the enemy, this behavior happens almost every day."

The more Jiang Lianqiu listened, the more familiar it sounded.

Why does this sound so much like the worldview of Pax Englisha?

Under the Peace of England, the French Revolution did not break out, but was replaced by the self-reform of the Bourbon dynasty.

Thus, the era of monarchy continued, and a series of butterfly effects eventually prevented even people with conscience (at least compared to other political figures of the same period) like Briand and Wilson from coming to power. Human beings did not reflect on international relations and wars, and the moral bottom line of a number of great powers began to decline, eventually falling through the floor and into the abyss.

The human society in that worldview was essentially the same as Carlos's description, completely abandoning ethics and morality, pursuing technological advancement at all costs, and using all of that technology for warfare, striving to more efficiently and brutally kill all other humans who were clearly their own kind.

In the normal offline world, the series of colonial expansion policies implemented by Queen Victoria during her reign conservatively estimated to have directly and indirectly massacred more than 100 million people worldwide, allowing Her Majesty the Queen to successfully take the first place in the human KPI.

But under the British peaceful worldview, the leaders of major countries in the world are all Victoria. When the benevolent kings of Tongliao come and see me, they have to exclaim "Wow!" Compared with them, I am simply a saint.

In short, everyone is crazy.

"So, you insisted on slowing down the pace of ether research and even concealed the existence of the ruins and crystals?"

"That's right. If we continue our research, even if there's no celebration, sooner or later people will come into contact with the First Ancestor." Carlos nodded with lingering fear. "I don't want to see the world become like that. If possible, I don't even want the world to study ether and voids anymore, but I'm insignificant and my words don't count."

Jiang Lianqiu was silent.

Even the extermination orders issued by the mecha servants aimed to destroy the planet with a single shot, rather than trying to make the enemy suffer all kinds of pain before dying.

In war, killing the enemy and torturing the enemy are two different things.

"Because there are some relics of an old civilization within the Helios Agency, I brought that relic device back and studied it without attracting anyone's attention."

"No one understands these things anyway." Carlos smiled slyly, "But I'm the only one who knows that this thing is different."

"Its creator was a top-notch individual from the old days, one of the very few human stars who still possessed something called conscience."

"He believes that the First Ancestor did not come to our world for no reason. It was being hunted, and it fled here for its life, and fell into a deep sleep on the moon."

"And the crystals he also discovered can be used to call upon the unknown entity that's hunting the First Ancestor. To this end, based on the knowledge he gained from studying the crystals, he designed and created a distress device that could theoretically send signals to the depths of our universe, or even beyond. This is the device that absorbed my spirit after my death."

"And now, I seem to have successfully waited for... the savior."

At the end of her speech, Carlos stared at Jiang Lianqiu with a smile.

Chapter 208: The Sudden Expansion of Void Zero

Jiang Lianqiu felt a terrible headache.

Obviously, Carlos believed that the person the crystal was calling out to should be the creator of the crystal, that is, the mechanical servant civilization he now controlled, the existence that was hunting down the so-called ancestor and the savior of their world.

But the problem is that they themselves don't know when they created this thing, and how that ancestor appeared...

"Xiao Qiu seems troubled, huh?"

"Wait a minute, let me sort it out." Jiang Lianqiu scratched his head, "Forget it, let me take you out first."

"As expected of you, Xiaoqiu! I just can't leave this strange space no matter what." Carlos clapped his hands lightly, a look of joy on his face. "After my spirit was absorbed, the distress device seemed to activate on its own, and then created this space that I can't understand, trapping me inside."

"I also tried to turn off the device, but I found that even if I turned it off, this strange space would not disappear."

"Fortunately, even though I can't leave, I can use etheric energy to simulate some familiar environments. This prevents me from dying of loneliness."

After saying this, Carlos' eyes flashed a faint light.

The illusion around him began to collapse rapidly. After a moment, Jiang Lianqiu finally saw the true appearance of this constantly changing and different phase space.

Jiang Lianqiu discovered that he, Carlos and even Star Platinum were standing in a gray, empty space where nothing existed.

This space is extremely small, only slightly larger than the illusion created by Carlos.

At the core of this space, there is a pyramid-like pure metal structure that is nearly ten meters high, with a large number of ether crystals floating around it.

"Is it still running?"

"I've turned it off."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lianqiu no longer hesitated and directly put this thing into his tactical space.

Carlos watched the huge machine disappear with her eyes shining. The natural curiosity of a scholar when seeing something she didn't understand made her keep circling around Jiang Lianqiu.

"It's like magic. Is this some kind of space technology?"

"The principle is not complicated. If you are interested, you can slowly understand it in the future." Jiang Lianqiu said with some interest.

Carlos blinked, then suddenly realized something and smiled softly, "Xiao Qiu, are you planning to let me work for you? Even for Ling's sake, I won't ask for less salary, okay?"

"Let's get out first. Since there's nothing worth saving here, is it okay to split it open?"

As he spoke, Jiang Lianqiu looked at the Platinum Star.

Carlos looked in the direction of Star Platinum strangely. Although she couldn't see the Stand, she could feel something there.

Star Platinum nodded, then shook her head.

"What do you mean?"

Star Platinum began to gesture with both hands—

The abnormal spatial division and time-space disorder of the Helios Agency building can only exist based on the out-of-phase time-space at the bottom of the building.

Once this anomalous space is forcibly broken open, the agency building will reconnect with the world, so there is no guarantee what changes will occur. The worst-case scenario is that in those states, the entire building will immediately appear in the form of a giant monster transformed into a skeleton and begin to destroy everything.

It should be noted that, due to the previous time-space cut, the Helios Agency Building, which had been reduced to a skeleton, had no effect on Void Zero. However, once this time-space cut ended, the intensity of the ether activity it displayed would inevitably cause Void Zero to expand.

However, my subordinates have made preparations. The ether control tower will do its utmost to suppress and absorb active ether energy and will not let Void Zero get out of control.

"Then, kill it!"

Jiang Lianqiu no longer hesitated after hearing this.

Before meeting him, Xing Jianya already possessed the power to split a hole into a crack that went all the way through the sky and the earth in a short period of time.

At this moment, if he used all his strength to strike with his sword, it would not be a problem to split the out-of-phase space that was like water without a source and rootless duckweed.

if only--

Infuse the blade with a trace of spiritual energy, and then...

Draw the sword and swing it.

……Dividing line……

outside world.

Yixuan stood there nervously.

She had already grasped the Qingming Sword in her hand without knowing when.

Because of the problem with the hexagram, Yixuan was worried and finally made up his mind to secretly take the Qingming Sword with him when he set out.

Even if it means losing some of her five senses and memories, she has to ensure that nothing happens to everyone.

Yixuan, who could fully understand his sister's feelings back then, stared at the Helios Agency Building in front of him.

Beside him, von Neumeow continued to analyze, mumbling to himself, "That scientist from the old civilization must have had a problem with his research."

"He was so focused on breaking through the cosmic barrier that he overlooked the fact that wide-area signal transmission is the key."

"This allowed him to make remarkable progress in space technology, and he eventually stumbled upon a device that could generate a random phase state of subspace."
