Chapter 1,604 Give in, Give in, the Wheels of History Are Rolling Over!

The first bird song in the morning dispelled the gloomy atmosphere left by the wind and rain yesterday night, and Shadow City was awakened by this song - but unfortunately this bird song did not sound very pleasant: Ga!

The huge Storm Crow swooped down from the Egg Tower (remember? Shadow City's new landmark landscape building). The gusts of wind caused by its wings almost created two arcane vortices in the air, on the path of her swooping down. There are still traces of black space cracks remaining. It is obvious that this crow has just flown into the real world from the void, and the remaining void power left eye-catching traces on the main material plane.

The Storm Crow landed in the small square with an astonishing force but without any damage. Looking at the familiar scenes at home around him, Lord Crow God, who had just returned from a distant journey, decided to compose a poem, so he stretched his neck and moved the mountains and rivers: "Gah! Quack, quack—quack!”

I waited for this girl in the square for thirty minutes. When she showed up, she was so noisy that she was so excited that she didn’t even see the owner under her feet. I couldn’t laugh or cry at that moment: Either crows are one of the most disturbing creatures in the world. One, her singing voice would make anyone fall to their knees.

"Okay, okay, little bird, stop chirping, I'm here!" I raised my head and stretched my neck and yelled as hard as I could. Only then did I finally overcome the excited chatter of the silly bird. "It's hard to come back from a long way... eh! You naughty kid, don’t move your mouth! Don’t you know how hard your mouth is?!”

The stupid bird lowered his head and saw that his master was very happy. As usual, he wanted to get close to him and kiss him. Fortunately, I was able to dodge quickly. The sound of this guy's mouth shell hitting the ground was like a car crashing! I can't even imagine the consequences of being kissed by this guy.

Little Crow just came back from the White Area. She had been away for three full days, and she had traveled a long distance. It's understandable to be excited after returning home, but if you want to ask why she went to the white area, you have to start from a few days ago.

A few days ago (that is, the day after Bingtis made big news in front of more than a hundred prominent figures from the three Void tribes at the barbecue party), we got some new information from the ancestors from the other side. Based on this new information, Tavel made a bold hypothesis, believing that the key to solving the bridge-building problem lies in the home world: the home world is a universe that was impacted by the Gate of the Inert Abyss but was not completely destroyed. The Gate of the Abyss has achieved symbiosis, which coincidentally meets the conditions for building a tranquil core, so the home world will be an unprecedented qualified "bridge pier". This inference of Tavel quickly received high praise from the experts of the Gods and strong support from the Abyss Xiling. It also received unanimous praise from three void creatures including me: "Although I don't understand it well, it seems to make sense. Look."

So Searching for the Homeworld was suddenly upgraded from a routine important mission to a "very important operation." The Star Territory Protoss has doubled the number of patrols (the Abyss has been conquered anyway, and the Protoss has more manpower to dispatch), and the Huron Protoss has also dispatched many people from their hometown to help search ( There are several suspected coordinates close to the Huron God Realm), and Abyss Xiling also sent several deep space exploration teams to help investigate the remaining world coordinates. However, Abyss Xiling didn't have many people on hand. After all, her vitality was the most damaged in the decisive battle in the Abyss. This unlucky kid turned the family upside down and formed a total of five teams. It's not that her soldiers are really dying, but that the ultra-high-speed deep space exploration ship is really difficult to handle. This kind of ship requires special void engines and sensor modules, and there is no way to mass-produce it. Not useful. Abyss Xiling, who has always advocated a pragmatic spirit, was busy preparing for war and did not build these things that occupied the production chain. In addition, during the war, several of her star port worlds were destroyed, so the exploration team that came out of the Abyss became the most miserable. ——But her intention to help is quite sincere.

The empire also took action. In addition to sending more deep space exploration teams, it also released the little crow.

I almost forgot about this little bird's abilities before. After all, she usually spends more time messing around and making trouble than doing serious business. Recently, I have almost become a professional croaker. If my sister hadn't remembered it occasionally, she said at the dinner table, "Medivian seems to be called the God of Messengers, right? It is said that she can shuttle through the void as fast as our fastest." Like a void shuttle?" I'm afraid I still keep this stupid bird at home as a mascot.

But now that she remembered the ability of this bird, she naturally couldn't let her continue to waste her talents at home, so the little crow became the most special deep space explorer, responsible for checking the coordinates farthest from the Empire area. In order to improve the girl's work efficiency, Tavel also installed a lot of bits and pieces on the little crow, mainly navigation and emergency communications, to prevent the stupid bird from flying too far and finding its way back (although this The probability is not high). As for his personal safety, there is no need to worry too much: despite his poor intelligence. He also lacks common sense, has a bit of a temper, and is prone to cognitive errors. He also particularly likes to pick up strange things on the road and eat them (is there too many problems?), but the little crow is still very capable in combat. This Crow God, who was born and raised under the light of the void bioturbation force, is still growing at an alarming rate to this day. I don’t know how far she can finally grow in terms of combat power, but anyway, now she can already hold down Ilson. Her head was full of pecks on the ground, so the family could let her fly out with confidence.

I believe that unless she encounters the fourth god-level civilization in the void, she will never be in danger. And she can run even if she encounters danger. This girl's ability to escape is as epic as that of Little Bubble. I even suspect that all her talents are focused on agility and combat effectiveness-this can explain her IQ and That deviated world view.

This stupid bird was excited for a long time before finally calming down. It lowered its neck and gently rubbed my cheek with the edge of its beak. It made a strange purring sound in its throat. I was moved by this "little" guy's attachment to me. Sigh: Alas, the cognitive error is getting more and more serious. She seems to think she is a cat...

"Are there any new discoveries?" Although I knew that there was probably no progress, I still asked while touching the beak of the little crow.

The little crow shook his head in despair: "Gah..."

"speak English."

"I didn't find it," Silly Bird's voice sounded in the spiritual connection, "I flew a long way. But there was only a void, or an unknown new world, which didn't look like my home world. But I left it all The beacon has been set down, you can drag it back and use it as a new nest when the time comes!"

"New nest" is a word used by little crows. In fact, it refers to new territory. Should I say that she really deserves to be raised in the first family of the empire? The first thing this girl learned is to open up borders and split the soil. "When you see a good world outside, you must drag it back to the empire area to make it your territory." This is considered every day. A required course for a Xiling apostle.

I patted the other person's mouth, comforting her not to be too disappointed, and then waved my hand. Immediately behind him, a large group of autonomous machines and engineers who had been waiting for a long time came forward to help Little Crow dismantle the strange equipment on his body. To be honest, the little crow armed by Tavel looks like an armored fighting raptor. She has metal plates hanging on her wings, a radar station strapped to her back, more than a dozen antennas on her tail, and even one on her head. It was covered with a shiny golden alloy face shield. In the end, this thing was not a high-tech device. It was Paopao who forced Little Crow to wear it. She said that it looked more like a boss and gave people the impression that after being pushed down, he would at least be able to wear it. Upgraded five levels in a row...

In addition to the powerful golden mask on his head, the various external devices on Little Crow's body are all temporary plug-ins designed by Tavel. Their functions have been mentioned before. These plug-ins provide Little Crow with additional scanning capabilities, communication and recording capabilities, which can prevent this careless girl from missing important information along the way. After all, the only advantage of Silly Bird is that she is fast in the void. Her eyesight is actually not very good - everyone should still remember that she has astigmatism...

If she didn't have that equipment, she might not be able to recognize the target even if she flew over from her home world.

"It's too troublesome to dismantle and assemble temporary equipment. I have to find a way to design a set of combat clothes for you based on your strength. It's best to wear one immediately after transforming." Looking at a large group of engineering machines in the little crow (by the way, looking at her It’s really shameful to say these three words to such a huge body) I couldn’t help but twitch in my heart as sparks flew all over my body, and I felt distressed when I spoke, “Look what I’ve done to you...”

"I feel very good," Little Crow tilted her head. The construction team with sparks flying around her body (actually mainly the fire when cutting off the energy lines) seemed to her to have no feeling at all. This girl's layer of feather defense It's not weaker than battleship armor. "Wearing these things makes me feel very powerful! Although they occasionally make me feel a little itchy."

Professionals work quickly, and the little crow's clothes were quickly removed. Then the silly bird returned to its human form. The thin and thin crow god girl squirmed around to check her body, and couldn't help but mumbled with her mouth flat: "Without feathers, there is no sense of security! Master, let's have a good day today." Are you still going to report?"

I nodded and dragged the girl, who looked reluctant and wanted to run away to play, towards the headquarters. The little crow kept looking back at the tall tower that was getting further and further away. In fact, her eyes completely fell on the golden dome at the top of the tower...

Well, this stupid bird still misses Lin's egg. Even the egg tower he dropped when he came back from this business trip. Maybe I should find a way to get a shield or something on that big egg. To prevent the little crow from hatching it, with the power of the Crow God and the power of the Star Domain Dragon God, I simply can’t imagine what she would hatch... Let’s stop this topic here. If we continue, it will involve ethical issues.

Today, several exploration teams came back from the distant void space. Little Crow was the last one to come back because he ran the farthest, but he was not far behind the others. At this time, several other exploration team commanders who had just returned had already Assemble at the headquarters, I have to take the last "single exploration team" to report. In fact, it's just a formality. After all, this silly bird is not very good at talking. All her reports are sorted out in the pile of automatic equipment on her back.

But just as Little Crow and I were calmly embarking on the road to the headquarters, Sandora's voice suddenly sounded in my mind: "Arjun, is Medivh back?"

I heard her voice was a little urgent, and I immediately frowned: "I just got home and I'm taking her to the fortress area. What's wrong?"

"Other exploration team commanders have arrived. They reported some phenomena. Come quickly with your little bird. There is something going on."

"Huh?" The little crow looked at the change in my expression, tilted her head and called out curiously. I picked her up and opened the portal without saying a word: "There seems to be a situation. Leave quickly!"

Fortress area, headquarters building. Shandora and Sivis were listening to the reports of several exploration team commanders in the large office, while Tavel and Abyss Xiling were listening as expert consultants. When I led Little Crow in and pushed the door in, there was a tall Imperial soldier reporting their strange experience:

"...We saw a large number of world wreckage after crossing a very desolate void area. They all seemed to have been destroyed recently. These wreckage came from many different universes, and it was purely a coincidence that they floated in front of the exploration team, but we found these wreckage The time of destruction of the wreckage is almost the same...basically within a few decades."

As soon as I heard this, I knew that the situation this time was serious. I quickly patted the little crow's head to tell the girl not to "ga". Then I nodded slightly to Sandora and sat down next to her.

"Have you also discovered that a large number of worlds have been destroyed recently..." Sandora frowned, "This is not a good sign."

"What's going on?" I listened confusedly. But just the few words he just heard were enough to show that there seemed to be some big trouble happening, "Is there an abyss riot in the white area or something?"

"It's not necessarily an abyss riot, it should be something more troublesome," Sandora whispered. "The exploration team that just returned from the White Zone reported that they found a lot of world debris, and the destruction time was in the past few decades - —It is calculated based on the empire's standard timeline. Some of these destroyed worlds were attacked by the abyss, but some collapsed themselves for unknown reasons. Some worlds did not even show signs of collapse at all, and seemed to directly become In a state of being torn apart. All the wreckage is located almost far away from the Empire Zone - starting from the Empire Zone, after reaching the farthest white zone, there is a desolate void. There is almost nothing in this desolate void, the density of the universe is extremely low, and beyond This desolate void is filled with the remains of the world, and this phenomenon is very disturbing.”

I roughly built a model in my mind, and discovered an disturbing fact from Sandora's few words: Is this a disaster that is spreading from the outside in?

Abyss Xiling seemed to have guessed what I wanted to say, and nodded without changing his expression: "Regard the Empire Zone as an origin. Now the void outside a certain radius from this origin is entering chaos. Although everything will not die, the sacrifice The number of them is already quite staggering.”

I subconsciously asked: "Is this a catastrophe?"

"No, the cataclysm is more powerful than this. The entire void was cleared in an instant. How could the universes be crushed over one by one so slowly?" Abyss Xiling raised his eyebrows, "This should be a 'prelude', I guessed it before. There will be some harbingers before the cataclysm. It seems that I guessed it right now. It’s just that this harbinger appeared far away from us, so no one saw it at first. Maybe it’s because the power of void creatures is suppressing this wave of destruction. Well, the Imperial District is safe for the time being, the disaster is controlled at a certain distance, and it has not spread over the past few decades."

"Where is the God Clan?" When I mentioned the void creatures, what I immediately thought of was how the other two people's hometowns were.

"Their exploration team set off late. Only one-third of them have returned now. However, there are also reports mentioning similar situations. The universes a certain distance away from the Huron God Realm and the Star Realm God Realm are dying in large numbers, with various causes of death. They are diverse, and the time of death is basically the same." Shandora handed over a scroll, "The two god kings just left behind, the father god and the Huron king have returned to the god world to control the situation, because they are not sure whether this impact will They will sneak in when the void creatures temporarily leave the table, so they have to act as protectors in the God Realm."

I took the scroll, and the moment I touched it, the images of Xingchen and Sheila emerged in my mind. The former still had that gentle smile, but his tone was much more serious than usual: "When you see this message, You should already know what the situation is. The matter has just been determined. The situation is urgent, so we didn’t have time to say hello to you when we left. Don’t worry about us. The gods will protect their people. We are planning to bring the mortal world in the border areas Drag them to a place closer to the God Realm. If that doesn't work, connect them all directly to the God Realm. It is also recommended that you do this - although the disaster is temporarily blocked from the white zone, it is difficult to say that it can be How long will it be blocked? After all, we are not sure what the mechanism is for it to be blocked. Also: the approximate coordinates of the home world have been basically determined, which is good news. For specific information, you can consult Abyss Xiling..."

Later, there were some vague words from Silla: "Hey, don't pull me, don't pull me! Let me say a few words to my little brother... Don't panic, little brother, we can lie down if the sky falls... Well, sister is He said that you must learn to adapt to circumstances, nothing is desperate, any situation can be turned around, and everything will be fine in your home world... Hey, why are you dragging me along! Don't think that you can do it if we have an affair... Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore Okay? That’s it, we each go back to our homes to save the common people. Little brother, you must take care of yourself. Again, if the sky falls..."

The message ends here. My mood has been ups and downs several times at this moment.

First of all, Xingchen gave good news: the coordinates of his hometown world have been roughly determined!

And what do Sheila’s words mean... Is there a situation in the home world?
