Xiling Empire

Chapter 1,441 Future Plans

The strange unmanned reconnaissance ship has been taken into the personal space by Viska, and is ready to be taken back to the experts at the institute to dismantle and study it. At the same time, due to the psionic radiation generated when the spacecraft crashed, eye-catching signs were also used around the crash site. The beam beacon was marked, and we informed Edwinsa to temporarily set this area as a restricted area, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching, and wait until we reach the Imperial District before letting professionals deal with the pollution here. This matter is over for now. .

However, the confusion it brought to everyone was far from over: an autonomously navigating unmanned spacecraft suddenly broke into the world fragments. This fallen apostle ship neither launched an attack nor sent an alarm message back. After it appeared The only thing it did was to be shot down by Alaya. The behavior of this ship was inexplicable, and the whole incident was full of unexplainable points. The fallen apostles would not do meaningless things, so they took such a ship What does the boat throw over mean? Does it mean that he already knows about the actions of the Imperial Army?

Then why didn't they intercept the world fragments? Viska didn't even see an enemy ship.

However, these things cannot be understood by just thinking about them. Perhaps we can only gain some insights after we go back and let the experts and scholars come up with analysis reports. Now I only have one idea, and that is to quickly end this frightening drift: We are getting closer and closer to the Empire area, but we are still in the line of fire. As long as we do not leave the activity range of the fallen apostle's fleet, we cannot be considered safe.

After the world was torn apart, our communication with the border defense center was restored. Several border outposts monitored the situation after the end of the universe. Now it seems that everything is normal except for the strange unmanned spacecraft: Ninety percent of the universe torn apart by the abyss and the void has been reduced to data elements under the impact of the void's intrusion, while the remaining ten percent of the universe has exploded into thousands of fragments and scattered everywhere, including One-third naturally floated to the territory of the fallen apostles, one-third floated to the empire area, and the last one-third disintegrated in the void without being able to sustain it for long. A dozen "Arks of Exile" containing ecological planets are mixed among thousands of space fragments and slowly move towards the Empire area. Fragments with unstable structures are constantly being swallowed by the void, and some have deviated from the "course" and may collide with other worlds. The fragments were intercepted and destroyed by Imperial forces: this had to be done for show. The empire also needs to act like it hastily respond to the incident.

Several small-scale conflicts broke out between the fallen apostles and the imperial army near the border post. The enemy's advance troops were already in place and fought with the imperial defense forces for a while. However, as I expected, due to the recent collapse of the material universe, the fighting The environment was unsustainable, and the two parties eventually stopped at medium-scale friction. The Imperial Army did not send out its entire army, and the Fallen Apostles also tacitly stopped sending additional troops to this side. This is because conventional fleets cannot engage in direct combat in the void. They must use the order field or the material universe to establish a battlefield, and now that the material universe has disintegrated, relying on the fleet's own order field will definitely not be able to fight large-scale battles. The scope of the order field is limited, and large battleships have no room to use it. One of their own people can easily die first if one cannon is fired. At the same time, both warring parties must work together to maintain the order field in a tacit understanding to prevent it from suddenly collapsing. The small spaceship can only scratch around the enemy's fortress battleship, and it must be careful not to fly too fast into the void... In short, fighting relying on the order field without a battlefield can easily turn into this rather embarrassing situation. This is why there are always fewer fights in bathhouses than on the streets. This requires more than just courage...

A few of us returned to the North Fortress, and the place had calmed down a little: due to the sudden incident that had just disrupted the arrangement, Edwinsa's promotional activities could only end early. However, the initial goal has been achieved. The key message of "The Goddess Purifies the Dark Moon" has been publicized, which not only reduces the panic effect caused by the end of the world, but also lays the foundation for the restoration of peace between the two planets in the near future. The gods personally purified and pardoned the Dark Moon people, and with the hundreds of years of peace as a buffer, the people on earth should have no psychological resistance to re-accepting the Dark Moon compatriots.

The group of people went directly to the top level of the fortress to find Edwinsa and Zoya at the Church Corps station there. Last time we came, we still sneaked in invisibly, but this time we were able to go in openly. It seemed that Edwinsa had given the order, and we arrived at the stone fortress without any hindrance. There were people wearing black priest robes or white church knight robes to meet us along the way, but everyone knew that. In fact, we knew the way...so we walked faster than the guides who led the way. When they arrived at the fortress hall, a senior monk who led the way was still curious: "These guests are very familiar with the fortress. Are you regular guests of His Majesty the Pope?"

I could only deal with people in embarrassment: "Well. I've been here before, I've been here before..."

The fortress hall was still the same place where Edwinsa and Zoya met last time, and just like last time, the scene was crowded with people. There was not even a guard at the door. Only the old pope and a sister with facial paralysis were waiting in the huge hall. Everyone. This scene is really familiar.

"Hey, I just saw you. You're quite cool in the sky." I raised my hand to greet Zoya. After these two days of contact, I found that Zoya is not as difficult to get along with as she seems on the surface. In fact, she is a very easy-to-talk person, and her cold appearance is just because of her facial paralysis.

Zoya tried her best to show a smile as sharp as granite: "I just acted with the goddess in a play. I often cooperated with Edwinsa like this more than two thousand years ago, so I am somewhat used to it."

My eyes then turned to the old man next to her. Edwinsa, this super old man who has been reincarnated for more than two thousand years, was a little dazed when we opened the door and walked in. He has been looking at the few of us curiously. With a look of disbelief on his face, I couldn't help but ask him: "Old man, what are you looking at?"

Edwin Sa held it in for a while, then said a word that was very familiar to me with a very familiar tone and expression: "God?"

It was so full of incredulity.

I couldn't help but jumped on my feet and shouted to him: "Dang Dang, can you guys not react like this every time! I've been a god for five and a half years, can you please respect my profession! Who stipulates that gods can't wear fake clothes? The shoes, street stalls and clothes are all people-friendly!"

Next to me, Lin Xue quickly comforted me: "Mu Mu, don't be like this. Logically speaking, void creatures are indeed not gods, and Father God is not a god either. Moreover, Qian Qian has become a god for less than half a week, and I don't even have a license here... …”

When we got interrupted, Edwinsa was completely stunned. Zoya, on the other hand, was more adaptable because she had been in contact with our family before. This sister Long knew that the so-called gods were actually a group of people with easy-going and almost careless personalities. Young man, she nodded at me. The tone was still quite respectful: "What should we do next?"

"Just wait," I breathed out, "Next, the fragments of this world will slowly drift to the Empire area. There are already people there to take care of them. The fragments will be integrated into a new world with fully compatible cosmological constants. Then you can Start a new life, there is no abyss, no civil war. No one needs to live and die to save the world. As long as you don't commit suicide, it will not be a problem to smoothly develop to the space stage. But in the future, you will see a brand new starry sky, related to astrology All the knowledge is no longer applicable - you have to figure out your own way to explain this phenomenon to your people."

Only then did Edwinsa regain his composure, and hurriedly said to the side: "I already have a plan - let's just say that the goddess injured the sky during the decisive battle with the devil. So she reset the positions of the various light bodies in the sky and the earth. …”

I took a deep look at this old man and felt that he was really humiliating himself by not becoming an expert on Earth. With his brain and reaction speed, he would be a pillar in the unscientific column group at least three times a week. ah.

"As long as you have an explanation, the other ecological planets are just a pot of porridge. We still have to send more than a dozen groups of ambassadors to explain to them why all the celestial bodies in the universe are gone, and then replace them with new ones," I said Sigh. "This is definitely the largest collective move in history... Why not just set up a moving company in the servant army to be responsible for battlefield relocation..."

Qian Qian immediately nodded happily beside her: Whenever I have a bigger imagination, I can get along with this girl. I don’t know if this is a kind of sadness.

At this time, a holy white light suddenly appeared in the center of the hall, interrupting everyone's chat. The white light slowly condensed into a human shape: a beautiful girl with wings on her back. This was Alaya's return.

In the faint sound of hymns, the silly cat angel slowly lowered to the ground, then spread its wings, straightened its arms, adjusted its posture precariously, and smiled proudly at me: "Brother Monarch. Stop." !”

Me: "..." Does this idiot also know that his falling on the ground is too amazing? !

"Goddess!" Edwinsa was shocked when he saw this holy figure. The 70- or 80-year-old man jumped up to Alaya in a few steps like a young man and knelt down at that moment. "Thank you for your hard work. Please forgive me for using your name for the past two thousand years..."

Zoya came over calmly and explained in a low voice next to us: "Edwinsa is under great psychological pressure. He feels that it is disrespectful to let a mortal use the name of a goddess rashly. This guy...how should I say this? He is very good. He has been shaping his sister into the image of a god for the past two thousand years, but that artifact means that real gods exist, which puts a lot of pressure on him."

I nodded to express my understanding: If you pick up a traffic police uniform on the road and wear it to direct traffic, you must be feeling scared. If Edwin Sa didn't have this psychological pressure, then he would have a problem.

However, this old man obviously hasn't understood the intricate relationship between the Xiling artifacts in the Star Realm. He probably thinks that those who have wings are all members of the God family. It would be troublesome to explain this, so I just stepped forward to help him. Lai Ye helped the old man up: "Don't be nervous, old man. You might have been legally responsible for this before, but now Antiel's divinity has been recognized by the true god, and the contribution of the remaining four of you is not small. Don't worry. Well, no one will hold you accountable."

"I still can't believe it now," the wrinkles on Edwinsa's face all gathered together, "Do you recognize Antill's divinity? Of course I'm very happy about this, but... is it really okay for a mortal to cross this line? ?”

"That's just your imagination," I curled my lips. "The gods wish they had a bunch of enemies to help with their official duties. Do you think becoming a god is a good thing? You have to clock in and ask for leave, and you have to write a report when you go on a business trip. , if you want to raise a first-level salary, you have to take hundreds of exams. I know someone who has not passed the professional certificate exam yet. She is still receiving her probationary salary with her primary school diploma..."

Dingdang poked her head out of my pocket, looked around curiously, and then retracted: This little thing didn't realize that she was talking about herself...

Edwin Sa was stunned by what I said, while Lin Xue muttered in a low voice: "Are you in love with the sport of crushing other people's views and then blending them together again?"

I shrugged silently: I have to take out the resentment of the destruction of the Three Views in the past to retaliate against society...

At this time, several hours had passed since the universe was torn apart. According to the previously estimated timetable, this fragment of the world should now have crossed the most dangerous critical zone and is gradually penetrating into the buffer zone controlled by the imperial outpost. Although they have not yet escaped the interception range of the Fallen Apostles in this area, they have been able to obtain the support of the Imperial Army in an open and honest manner. The Fallen Apostles should not dare to rush to this distance to intercept us. If they really dare to come, then the Imperial Defense Force The army also has sufficient reasons to attack across the board to push the enemy back.

"This time the end is really the end..." While I was thinking, Edwinsa suddenly let out a long sigh. "I'll be able to reunite with Silly Manzi and the others from now on..."

"It doesn't matter how long you want to reunite. The silly big guy has a new identity. He is no longer the Lord of Dark Moon." I glanced at Edwin Sa, suddenly a little curious, "By the way. You guys will be here from now on." Do you have any plans?"

"Me?" Edwin Sa was stunned for a moment, then showed a rather complicated smile, "It might be embarrassing to say it... I want to find a place with no one, preferably a quiet small mountain village, and start Two acres of good land, go and farm.”

Everyone: "..."

"Farming?!" I imagined a lot of great things, but I never expected that this old man's life plan was to find a small village to farm. "After you save the world, you plan to go home and farm!?"

"That's what I planned from the beginning," the wrinkles on Edwinsa's face unfurled. The smile is very comfortable and straightforward, as if the simple and simple side of the young farmer two thousand years ago has returned, "Save the world... I finally understand how much weight I need to have to say these four words before I dare to say them." It took me a thousand years to understand a truth. Zoya often said that I was a naive fool. It seems that she was right. Anyway, the world will be at peace now. My wish back then has been fulfilled, so I can go back and continue to plant my own land. . Looking back, those are the days when I feel most comfortable."

I looked at this old human being. Continuous reincarnations might restore his body to youth again and again. But it was clear that the weight of the world had exhausted him inside. I still remember what Zoya told me about what Edwinsa was like more than two thousand years ago: a young farmer full of enthusiasm and unrealistic fantasies, an older middle-aged youth, and now the hand in front of us The old pope, who holds great power and has even effectively ruled the planet Hessenwood for two thousand years, can no longer see the shadow of his past. Time and training will change a person. The only thing to be thankful for now is It is Edwinsa's conscience and his stubborn dream of "saving the world" that still protect his true heart. This old pope may have deceived the world, or may have carefully planned several world wars, but according to our standards , he still deserves to be a hero.

Or the "warrior" in Sandora's mouth.

Now, regardless of whether the outcome is as he expected, the world has been saved. The old pope can safely put down this burden that almost distorts him, and find a place suitable for seclusion to tend the countryside and cultivate the countryside. This is very important to him. That might be a good thing.

"Zoya, what about you?" I turned to look at Sister Long with facial paralysis who was silent next to me, "What are your plans?"

"I don't know..." Zoya sighed softly, "My home is in Longshan, but there are only the tombs of my tribe and a palace in ruins. Over the years, I have tried to hypnotize myself and make myself think that I am a human being. I do Humans would do all the jobs, even work as coolies and guards, just to completely forget their identity as dragons and live with other races... But in the end, I found that this was all a lie to myself, and I could never become another race... So I will probably continue wandering in the future, just like when I was wandering around. Anyway, I rarely went back to Longshan at that time. This time I can try to hypnotize myself that the Dragon Clan is still there, but I didn't go back to reunite with everyone."

When Zoya said this, she suddenly shrugged: "Actually, this is good. I like a free life."

I understand her mood very well: loneliness is a knife that kills without blood. If anyone doesn't understand, just imagine: one day all humans in the world will be extinct, and then you will be asked to spend the rest of your life with a bunch of monkeys. You will definitely be no better than Sawyer...

"Remember what Bingtis promised you?" I had vaguely guessed Zoya's plan before, and now I suddenly had an idea, "Everything will be fine. Cheer up, and when it is safe to reach the Empire District, I will introduce you You know someone."

Zoya looked at me doubtfully, but I planned to give her a surprise, so I didn't say anything. I just yawned deeply, and then stretched my body: "Don't ask anything now. I have to at least go to the Imperial District." One night, I have to take a nap - I haven't had much rest for almost two or three days."

Edwinsa prepared a resting place for everyone in the fortress, and we spent our last night in this world peacefully. We will probably be home when we open our eyes tomorrow. (To be continued.
