Chapter 1,118 Do You Want a Circle for You?

Although her combat power has always been the same, Lin Xue is indeed a mascot that can ensure good fortune and avoid disaster, whether in the previous life or in this life - she often claims that just by sneezing, she will crush millions of enemy soldiers to death in the future. Although no one has ever believed her nonsense, her ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune is still recognized by everyone.

If it hadn't been for her, or if it hadn't been for several important prophecies made by "Reki" in her previous life, I'm afraid the new empire wouldn't even have appeared at all.

And after she assisted the Emperor of the Heaven Region to complete the feat of dividing the capital of the Fifteen Heaven Region into two, she also arranged a task that Odyssey considered inexplicable without everyone knowing: The heart of the hidden world. At that time, no one except herself could guess the purpose of this mission, but in our eyes today, this arrangement is obviously designed to target today's fallen apostles - she predicted the fall of the empire and the only one. Dawn, predicted that we would enter the Assembly Hall after so many years, and even predicted the appearance of the fallen apostles and the value of the World Heart. It is really hard to imagine how much more she knew and to what extent. Now I somewhat sympathize with those fallen apostles who were repeatedly hit hard by Lin Xue's prophecy ability, and I also understand their helplessness in spending so much money to develop new warships just to interfere with the prophets on the battlefield for a few minutes: with such a Such an unreasonable existence as an opponent is really an unsolvable matter.

Of course, there are also areas where her predictions are not accurate, such as the reason why this secret mission was entrusted to Odysseus alone. I am afraid that she foresaw that a large number of Xiling apostles became rebels for "some reason", but she could not determine the scope of this "rebel", so she could only arrange it so that as few people as possible knew about it. The better, in fact, she got one thing wrong: the ones who really rebelled against the empire were the fallen apostles who should have been wiped out the moment the disaster broke out, not the surviving compatriots in the Fifteen Days District. However, one cannot blame Reki for her distrust of her own people. This was not distrust, but just necessary caution. After all, even the prophet's power is limited, and she cannot have everything in her hands. It was as if Reki had foresaw the fall of the empire, but was still unable to stop it. She sacrificed herself to the void in exchange for the last bit of life, but the price was her own downfall - things are impermanent.

"Mumu, I'm embarrassed that you sighed," the eldest lady smiled and pinched my ears, because I didn't hide those sighs from her. "Odysseus, I don't know as much as you now. Let's talk about what happened back then in detail. And about the sealing status of the Heart of the World, you know what part of the situation we all know, so I'll just tell you The part I know.”

"Yes," Odysseus' blurry half-body projection shook, "About the mission of my subordinates, it is basically what I said before, to hide the heart of the world. And a secret sealing system was built for this purpose.

Regarding this matter, Reki-sama and His Majesty the Emperor had directly ordered that it must be carried out secretly. It was even listed as an absolute secret in any imperial information link, and his subordinates did not understand why this order was issued at the time. But obeying orders is the duty, so after the entire mother planet fell into sleep as planned, the subordinates woke up alone, transformed and built the current North Icefield, hiding the heart of the world here. "

"What does this kind of hiding mean? Hiding in a different space? Or simply blocking the breath?" Alleria asked a detailed question, and she also became very interested in this secret plan that even she had no way of knowing. .

"A combination of both, the Heart of the World is stored in a proper space fold, and at the same time, the identification characteristics of this space fold are disguised. The level of confidentiality is so high that it can even hide from the empire's most advanced scanning technology. "Odysseus explained patiently, "My subordinates designed this system to be able to run continuously on any secondary energy, and created a group of elemental creatures to maintain the seal. The task of these elemental creatures is to ensure that the entire system will always operate. Normal operation until the end of the world, or the empire recovers. They can collect primitive minerals from the northern border to maintain the magic energy array. In the era when energy is insufficient and difficult to collect, they will use themselves as fuel. If the situation is worse, these The elemental creatures will forcefully awaken the subordinates and restart everything. This is the most perfect design possible for the subordinates. The options available are really limited, and the several 'safe' areas pointed out by Reki-sama are all in this planet. On a small planet, and she specifically emphasized that the current carrier of the World Heart must not be damaged, otherwise once the World Heart is transferred, the risk will increase exponentially, so the subordinates can only protect the World Heart and its carrier here. On the ice sheet. Now it seems that Lady Reki's judgment is correct. Only this planet was not affected after the disaster broke out. Most of the other planets, including the mother planet, have been torn apart. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, some were destroyed. Traces of severe damage caused by subspace storms."

I thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so I asked hesitantly: "So, there should also be a World Heart on the technology side. After all, the mother planet is conceptually divided into two parts, and the World Heart cannot always be There is only one, right? Since the World Heart of this world is properly hidden, where is the other one?"

"Although my subordinates are not very clear about the situation there, the two worlds should be corresponding. Reki-sama must have arranged things for the other universe. I think the world on the other side must also have the heart to preserve the world. The place."

"But I've never heard Gaia mention it!" I replied immediately. As soon as I said this, everyone fell silent instantly. We found again that everyone had ignored something very important.

I quickly contacted Gaia, and after a moment, I shook my head at the people around me: "Gaia's memory bank does not have information about the Heart of the World. She said that the universe where the technological side's home star is located has never discovered the Heart of the World. She We also asked all the Xiling apostles who are currently online, and no one remembers any similar secret missions back then."

Lin Xue covered her forehead and closed her eyes slightly. After a moment, a worried look appeared on her face. He looked at me and said: "The situation is not good. I am afraid that the Heart of the World has fallen into the hands of some people, and the stealing method is quite clever, and even blocked the memory of the Xiling Apostle who may have participated in the corresponding mission."

"Why go to such great lengths to protect the Heart of the World in the capital of the Fifteen Days District?" Qian Qian thought for a long time and finally figured out another key point, "Aren't there many universes? The Heart of the World in the capital of the Fifteen Days District Very special?”

"Speciality, specialness, must be special." Lin Xue quickly tapped her temple with her index finger, as if this could speed up her thinking, "I remember that the fallen apostles had a goal in collecting the hearts of the world. They did not Not just any universe's World Heart can be used. The World Heart in the capital of the Fifteenth Heaven District must be a key item. I definitely saw something back then, but now...meow. It would be great if I could still be as powerful as I was then. ...Can wood be used with magical powers?"

"Sacrifice yourself into the void again?" I slapped Lin Xue on the back of the head. "What are you thinking about? The situation is not too bad. Even if the fallen apostles get the Heart of the World, tens of thousands of years have passed, and their great cause is still in the preparation stage. It is certain that they have many things that are lacking. We always have Opportunities can defeat them, as long as they achieve results every time they act.”

"Wise decision," Alleria "looked" at me. "I have a general understanding of the current situation of the Fallen. Their plan cannot be completed overnight. Perhaps the Heart of the World in the capital of the Fifteenth Heaven District is crucial, but it is definitely not the only element. We should take a long-term view. Odysseus, you The preserved heart of the world should still be intact, right?”

"Yes, I checked its status immediately after waking up."

"Very well, leave it to us for protection. You can be freed from this weak state. We need you to do a more important thing now: lift the core lock of the Sky Tower."

"Speaking of which, what is the Heart of the World like?" Qian Qian's face was full of curiosity. She knew that the body of the Heart of the World was actually intangible and qualityless. It was just an information entanglement point, but the Heart of the World would It is randomly attached to anything in the current world. Only when the current object is destroyed, the Heart of the World will jump to the next object. This is why Odyssey wants to use a different space to connect the Heart of the World with it. The reason why the possession object is sealed together is to prevent that thing from suddenly jumping to other objects, thereby adding unnecessary variables to one's mission. Now Qianqian is interested in the heart of the world that is protected in every possible way, and she can't wait to see what that baby looks like.

To be honest, I am also a little curious, because I am busy with affairs on weekdays... so-called busy affairs, I rarely come into contact with that thing. The most impressive heart of the world in my memory is Milia from the Mobrado world (many times , the body and host of the World Heart can actually be confused), it seems that there is nothing special about the World Heart. After all, it is almost impossible to destroy before the world is destroyed, and the change of the host only makes the information entangled. It's just jumping back and forth. To the Heart of the World, the current host is almost a container. It can even be a cat or a dog. The host of the Heart of the World in the universe of the capital of the Fifteenth Heaven District must have been selected artificially. I am very curious about what my sister chose to serve as the host back then.

Odysseus, who was in a state of pimples, readily agreed: "The moment Alleria contacted me, this task was actually completed. If you want to see it, I can send the Heart of the World to you now." The passage to the storage point is open, just outside."

As he spoke, the two-foot-square crystal block Odysseus was resting on suddenly shattered and quickly reorganized in the air. After a burst of crunching sounds, it turned into a person similar to the Goodel man outside. He moved his body and said apologetically to us: "I'm sorry, my subordinates can only maintain this state for less than ten minutes, and they cannot leave the ice field, but it will be over soon."

We left this small igloo and found that the wind and snow outside had stopped, and in the far distance, a huge ice and snow hurricane that stretched across the sky and the earth was hovering strangely high in the sky, and was gradually approaching here. That hurricane It is mixed with a large amount of broken ice and stones, so its boundaries and shapes can be clearly seen. The shape is not like natural formation at all, and it is still changing: as it gradually approaches here, it even gradually appears The face of a middle-aged man with an angry beard appeared - only one face. It appears at the top of the hurricane in a very strange state, but the lower half of the hurricane only has a pair of huge arms that look like constantly twisting and swaying clouds, which makes it look like a frozen version of Aladdin.

After getting very close, the hurricane had turned into a giant nearly 100 meters high - but only the upper body. The giant's lower body was still a swirling storm, and it made a deafening roar.

"Oh, this is the storm giant rumored on the mainland," Lin Xue pointed at the hurricane. "It looks really spectacular."

"Unlike the ancient spirits and natural phenomena incarnated by other compatriots, the storm giant was created with the consciousness of its subordinates. Its mission is to guard the sealed place of the Heart of the World, so it can never leave the ice field. It is entrenched in the ice field. The wind and snow above are all the incarnations of storm giants, so he can sense the movement of the entire ice sheet at all times. After his subordinates fall asleep again, he becomes the most powerful guardian of the planet. Although only a small number of his subordinates fragments of his soul, but he still completed the task very well."

"I may know how those Goodel elemental creatures were created." I looked at the storm giant in the distance. Small-scale whirlwinds are constantly splitting near his inverted cone-shaped lower body. After these small-scale cyclones were split, they seemed to have their own consciousness and began to wander around, collecting nearby ice, snow and stones to build their own bodies, and soon turned into crystal clear "ice-breakers". , there are some icebreakers flying in the air, so they have no lower body, and they look like smaller storm giants. The icebreakers walking on the ground looked exactly like our guides.

"Yes, the storm giant and the Goodel elemental creature were created at the same time. The latter is the split body of the former," Odysseus said. "The storm giant's body is the sealing hub. Now the subordinate and this incarnation share the same consciousness. Please see, that is where the heart of the world is stored. It has been opened."

As he spoke, Odysseus pointed at the storm giant a few hundred meters away with his transparent arm made of broken crystals. Deep in the latter's body, there was a red core that was rapidly brightening and gradually breaking away from the storm. Bound by the giant's body, I saw many bright lines and rune marks covering this red core, and connected to the surrounding hurricanes. As the core floated away from the storm giant's body, these lines and runes also broke one by one, Judging based on my little occult knowledge, this means that the entire set of seals is one-time use and will be completely destroyed once opened. Only by destroying these runes in the correct order can the stability of the space be guaranteed, otherwise something will definitely happen. Particularly disharmonious things - such as the northern ice sheet turning into the northern hemisphere ice sheet, or the mother continent turning into an ice continent, and then the heart of the world will be collapsed onto God knows what at the end of the world.

Odysseus pointed to a group of luminous objects that gradually floated over and said: "That is the heart of the world that my subordinates were ordered to hide, and it is intact."

When the halo finally dissipated, I saw what the thing looked like, and I was stunned.

A large and heavy metal ring, dark black, about one meter in diameter, with dots of blue-purple starlight shining on its surface, floating in the air as if unaffected by gravity, with ripples visible to the naked eye radiating radioactively around it: it should be the air. Distortion is produced under the action of some kind of force field. It is also possible that the distortion is light, or even space itself.

Now let's combine two things: onee-sama, and a circle.

A huge circle from the peak of Onee-sama's power...

The moment we saw this metal ring, Lin Xue and I, even Qian Qian, who is often thoughtless, couldn't help but take a few steps back. Cold sweat broke out layer by layer on our bodies, jingling on top, in this extremely cold place of Baidu below zero , I sweated all over my brow!

There were two people at the scene who didn't react at all: Alaya and Alleria. The former probably didn't react, and the latter was hard to see any changes. Who knows what her expression is now?

"You can't touch this thing directly with your hands, right?" I kept a safe distance and pointed at the metal ring.

Odysseus nodded: "You seem to know your Majesty's power very well. This metal ring itself has also been given the ability to protect itself. Your Majesty's power is attached to it and has never dissipated for tens of thousands of years. It is too important. , so Your Majesty tries to make it as difficult to destroy as possible. Oh, the system shows that the information entanglement point of the Heart of the World is still attached to the ring."

I continued to shed cold sweat, you said such a thing... How can this be reversed!

After thinking for a long time, I finally connected to Avalon and contacted Miss Artemis, the director of the local subdistrict office: "Little Artemis, I need support here. Send a battalion immediately... no, send a regiment. The spearmen are coming..."

Before I finished speaking, Lin Xue directly interrupted: "Ignore him, we can handle it ourselves." Then she hung up the communication, and then the eldest lady looked at me angrily: "Don't be so exaggerated, okay? It goes back."

"If I rub it, my life will be worse than death!"

"What are you afraid of?" The eldest lady rolled her eyes, "You are not an enemy. Sister Chen Qian's curse will not be activated on you."

"You are mistaken. This is the power left by the emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven District back then. She doesn't know me! If you put this thing in the portable space, you will lose your skin even if you don't die!"

The eldest lady was stunned: "Hey, I forgot about this."

"Odysseus, there must be a way to transfer this thing, right?" I glanced expectantly at the crystal-clear imperial officer standing next to me, "Packaging box? Switch? At least give me some protective gloves. Okay, this thing is untouchable, how can it be transported to the City of Angels?"

Odysseus shrugged: "Your Majesty's power cannot be isolated, but it can identify ourselves and the enemy. As long as you have the empire's identification code, theoretically you will not be affected by the curse. Of course, if you find your Majesty now, It’s okay to let her lift the curse herself.”

I thought it would be a bit troublesome to call my sister over just for this matter, so I looked at the group of people around me. Odyssey doesn't need to think about it now. Lin Xue and Qian Qian did have identification codes back then, but their imperial household registration books were revoked 70,000 years ago. The same goes for Alaya. Now the two parts of the home planet are still there. The reorganization has not been completed yet, she is a shady person on the mysterious side of the home planet, and among the remaining people...

Finally, my eyes fell on Alleria.

"Alleria, can I leave it to you?"

The always calm Kite Angel shivered like never before, then nodded, almost as if he was looking forward to death, and approached the black ring that was still floating in the air. Under the attention of everyone, he gently Touched the latter.

To our relief, nothing happened.

"It works." Alleria was also very happy. She nodded and put the ring into her personal space.

I smiled, stepped forward and patted Alleria's wings in commendation: "Well done, now hurry back to Angel..."

Before I finished speaking, I felt my eyes go dark... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
