Stellaris from the Automata Era

Yan Luo sat up suddenly, his consciousness seemed to remain on the eve of a crisis.

As he woke up, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the environment he was in.

The surrounding area is a pure white space.

Then this voice narrated in his ears.

"You cannot refuse my gift."

High-dimensional...organisms.

Yan Luo almost sighed.

It wasn't that he recognized the voice, but the moment the voice rang out, it was as if the world itself had introduced the other person's identity to him.

"This power is what you need, but it is not truly my gift."

Yan Luo felt something emerging from his body to strengthen himself, but he did not have time to experience it carefully.

Gao Wei's voice has not ended yet.

"I have high hopes for you, so this will be my last intervention..."

Very good.. a bit down to earth.

In an instant, Yan Luo's image of high-dimensional creatures was shattered in his mind.

"I'm not so sure... After all, your future was supposed to have countless branches, but now there are only three clear, opposing, and completely different paths."

"I'm curious, so the real gift I give you is not power or knowledge, but that I will no longer make any decisions for you."

"Human, the rules of the universe have changed. Choose the path you want to take."

"Of course...please remember one key point: you only have fifty years."

and many more!

Yan Luo widened his eyes!

Why does the word "fifty years" sound a little familiar to him?

Then his memory seemed to be reset and he recalled everything that happened in the past.

After all, he fought with aliens for who knows how many years after he traveled through time, and he had almost forgotten everything about the past.

However, now with the new strength surging out, he miraculously recalled everything bit by bit.

"I didn't sign any weird contract, did I?!"

Yan Luo looked around, as if he wanted to see clearly whether there was a "circle" nearby, and at the same time try to see if he could communicate with the other party.

The new power has marked a scene deep in his memory that is more in line with the current situation.

Then, under guidance, he subconsciously thought that he had made some extraordinary decision.

I won’t go into too much detail about what this decision is.

Anyway, in his memories, whenever he encountered natural disasters, there was always a final reckoning.

This... is simply a gambling table.

Obviously...the higher-dimensional creature didn't want to continue talking to him.

Naturally, Yan Luo's question did not receive a clear answer from the other party.

"My memories are different from yours, but they are similar. Okay. It's time for you to leave humanity and continue your journey into deep space."

Then Yan Luo felt his consciousness quickly floating away from this space.

After a dizzying moment, he woke up again.

The first thing he saw when he woke up was Bopora and...Divara.

Chapter 115: Kara× The Glory of Humanity√

"You look surprisingly well."

Bobo La straightened out the wrinkles on Yan Luo's clothes.

Yan Luo, who had just woken up, underwent a comprehensive physical examination in human form.

Of course, the humanoid stagnation biotechnology cannot detect any abnormalities in Yan Luo's body.

Obviously this is a blind spot in their knowledge.

"Sir, do you feel any other discomfort?"

Divala said with a worried look on her face.

The meteorite appeared without leaving any trace, and a humanoid with the ability to temporarily travel into space naturally couldn't have failed to monitor the sky.

However, their surveillance of the sudden meteorite was like the Maginot Line that had been breached, and was completely useless.

It can't serve as any advance detection at all, it's like it appeared out of thin air and fell down.

In fact, the falling meteorite did not explode with the power imagined. If you look closely, the power of its size and speed at that time was enough to flatten an area.

But what is unscientific is that the meteorite did not cause much impact, and the range of the explosion after falling did not match its kinetic energy at all.

But rather than investigating this issue, what really frightened the humanoids was that they found remnants of unknown energy similar to magic elements on the meteorite.

When this result came out, the entire humanoid leadership was shocked in an instant.

You know...magic energy is the source of human extinction.

The human body's inability to adapt to energy directly induces the incurable white salt disease.

Of course, this is all in the past, as the humanoids collected the original magic elements and exiled them back to the world where they were supposed to exist.

This energy, capable of causing harm to the human body, should no longer exist.

So what about this new unknown energy?

Almost everyone who heard the news shuddered unconsciously.

For the current humanoids, they simply cannot bear the thought of humans leaving them again.

Therefore, they sincerely hope that this new energy system will not be as corrosive to humans as magic elements.

Apparently their expectations were not in vain.

"I don't feel any problem."

Yan Luo waved his hand, and a yellow energy spread out.

This should be the power bestowed by that higher-dimensional creature. It seems to be the same type as magic element?

Yan Luo was not quite sure what the difference was between this power and magic essence, but based on his current feelings, it seemed that the magic essence in human form was not as magical.

After all, after the humanoids exiled all the magic elements, the various technologies developed based on their principles can be called magic, which seems a bit too magical to Yan Luo.

In comparison, the yellow energy body he released now could not interfere with the real world.

Apart from the fact that there seems to be an extra layer of special effects, there doesn't seem to be any other effects.

However, this is exactly what Gemini is worried about.

The power that can be controlled by humans, the original magic element also showed this characteristic.

The situation was too similar, and Gemini felt bad again almost instantly.

So Divala looked at Bopora next to her, and then took Yan Luo's hand.

"Please do a more thorough inspection."

It’s the same problem as before... humanoid biotechnology is really terrible, after all, it is specifically designed for organic organisms.

With the virtual extinction of humanity, their technology will be of little use.

Not to mention... when the humanoids took over the human legacy, a large amount of information about the creatures was even deliberately erased, especially the information about humans.

Perhaps this is also a deliberate targeting by Yan Luo's compatriots in this world to guard against a certain possibility.

Of course, even the scientific wealth inherited by such humanoids is enough for them to rebuild a discipline from scratch.

The premise is that.. they give samples.

It just so happened that the genetic map provided by Yan Luo allowed them to piece together the complete human sequence.

In fact, if they wanted to, they could now achieve human freedom through cloning.

However, the humanoids rejected this behavior, not only because they believed it was a blasphemy against the Creator.

It is also because the humanoids do not seem to regard the clones as human beings. Perhaps this is also because the soul technology developed by Yan Luo’s compatriots allows the humanoids to distinguish humans more fundamentally.

What Divala called a more comprehensive examination was also some techniques applied to the soul.

To put it simply...she was ready to replace Yan Luo's body at any time.

But the situation doesn't seem as bad as imagined.

"Incredible! It's strengthening your body!" Inside the humanoid research center, a white-coated research figure exclaimed. "This is a different form of magic."

As a scientific technology that can observe magic elements and change and utilize them, the strength of the natural human form is also enough to observe the new power spreading from Yan Luo.

After being persuaded by Popola and Divara, Yan Luo naturally went to the humanoid research institute for a more detailed inspection.

This is not only physical, but also about the nature of his power.

"This is completely different from magic essence."

The research figure said:

"If the power of magic essence is physical interference, then the energy within you is completely different. It... contains a soul."

"In essence, it should be a harmless energy body and will not have any impact on people."

Her words were not over yet, and there was obviously something else to come.

But compared to her complex scientific explanation, the other humanoids didn't seem to care about this aspect at all.

They just want to know a few things now, whether there are any hazards to humans and what other impacts there are.

So such inquiries were raised.

"So what do you mean it strengthens adults?"

"That's what I'm going to explain next."

The scientific research figure tapped the buttons on the device a few times, then walked to Yan Luo's side.

"My Lord, please release your power towards me."

......

Mental magic... or is it called psionic energy?

In the end, Yan Luo chose the latter as the name of his power. As for why he named it this way...

Just think about where the technology tree in his mind came from.

As the psychic energy flowed through his body, his memories seemed to become clearer and clearer, tracing back to the past.

So now, looking back at the technology in his mind, he found that the things inside were more than just familiar.

So he just decided on the name.

Of course, compared to the powerful force he remembered, his psychic power seemed different.

Just as a certain scientific research figure said not long ago, his psychic power is not a physical interference, or it cannot be directly applied to the laws of reality.

At least don't even think about tearing a battleship apart or crushing a planet with your bare hands.

In contrast...it seems to be used for mental interference, and it is very powerful.

Okay, that's a bit too broad.

Then let's be more precise and use something with similar functions to Yan Luo as an analogy, such as...Kara.

Yan Luo could never forget the strange words that the scientific research figure shouted during the experiment, such as "I have never felt that humans are so close to me" and "I even feel that if I die, the data will be transmitted to humans immediately."

She even wanted to commit suicide to verify the correctness of her theory. If Yan Luo had not noticed her thoughts due to the influence of psychic energy and stopped her in time, the scientific research figure would probably have returned to the glory of humanity on the spot.

But because of this, Yan Luo understood the essence of his own power.
