Chapter 957 Timetable

The temporary world prepared for the exile fleet has finally been finalized. It is a fertile world that has just completed material evolution, and the space structure and material-energy balance in the universe have been stabilized. The template used is a common variant of the universal universe, World Structure. It is relatively similar to the universe we live in. It has the speed of light limitation, the four fundamental forces, expansionary evolution, and a circular galaxy structure. The universe is huge in scale, has few commonly used world parameters, and has a solid structure. Basically, except for suffering from doomsday-level disasters, It is difficult for law confusion or parameter errors to occur. What is different from the wild universe we live in is that this newly customized world has two special parameters. These two parameters, which are highly praised by the seller, lead to the failure of the universe. The planets are close to each other, and the star space is filled with high concentrations of free energy. This structure is an excellent environment for the creation of a magical world. Perhaps after a long evolution, some intelligent life forms that use magic will be born in this new universe. , they might even divide the planet they live on into three parts: heaven, human world, and hell. The Light God Cult and the Dark God Cult are fighting each other all the time. People all over the world firmly believe that there is a supreme temple above the world. The name of this temple It's called Pantheon Group Buying Network... and it unintentionally revealed the origin of the entire world.

After all, the universe is vast, and it is impossible and unnecessary for the exile fleet to occupy every inch of the starry sky. After this new world is activated, there will always be a different civilization born in a lucky corner. They may evolve in a ignorant way, not knowing the geometry of the world. , also know nothing about the secrets of the empire and the virtual space. When the wise among them sit on the high platform of sacrifice and think about the secrets of the sky, the imperial starship or the spaceship of the exile fleet may accidentally cross the sky, and maybe they can become An apocalypse prophecy, among the endless possibilities, the probability of this scene happening is never zero. Of course, that could be tens of millions of years from now. Maybe then I will still remember the little reverie I had today to see if a new civilization seedling has emerged in the once desolate space. Think about it, this seems to be really interesting.

I found that I became decisively artistic - these high-end associations were not my own style.

But when I expressed these strange thoughts, the first person to express understanding was the rogue goddess who had been coding in the room all morning. Bingtis sipped the soy milk that Anweina had specially reserved for her, and her mouth was slurping, but it did not affect her speech at all: "It's normal. I have seen a world evolve in front of my eyes. Everything in the world suddenly burst out from one point, and changed. It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe in words. Your having such transcendent thoughts can only mean that you are really gradually realizing something broader. Of course, there is another possibility - your void creature side is gradually maturing. Get up, now you have learned to think in units of millions of years?"

I sat on the sofa next to Bingtis and carefully helped Dingdang in my heart comb his hair - using a CPU that was broken in half - and said without raising my head: "No, I have a different concept of time than you Protoss." , tens of millions of years can pass by in the blink of an eye. I'm just thinking about it - by the way, the 'Parliament' seems to be quite satisfied with the situation in the new home, right?"

After the new world prepared for the Exile Fleet was finalized, Sandora immediately passed the relevant information to the Exile Fleet, which was still waiting for news in the void. We did not dare to tell the origin of this world, but just told the new world. The main parameters and livable coordinates of the universe were clearly marked, and the feedback returned was very gratifying: the council and other fleet elders were very satisfied with the conditions of their new home. Especially after they knew that this universe did not belong to the empire's territory, but an absolutely free world obtained from the gods, they were even more satisfied.

"For them, the environment of their new home is not actually important. A civilization that has developed to that level can create its own colonies as long as there is a stable space. All they need is peace. They hope that this new home can offset the old empire a little bit. The wrong we have committed against them." The words came from the front. Shandora was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window a few meters away. In front of her was a small table and a cup of black tea. She was holding the black tea in a dignified manner, and she looked like a girl under the sunlight. A peaceful princess - as long as I don't look at the one-meter-high teapot behind her, I really think this scene is extremely beautiful.

Lin Xue looked around and suddenly muttered: "I just wonder what their expressions will be like when they know that the new universe is given as a gift to the buyer..."

"Pfft -" Bingtis squirted out the soy milk on the spot, but it was a pity that it didn't spray on his chest. Otherwise, this would have been such a joyful scene, right? "Is it a gift for the buyer? What's going on? How can I return the favor?" Didn’t you know this happened?”

Bingtis had just come out of the Explosive Hell and didn't know what happened in the morning. I turned my head and glanced behind me, and found that Monina, who was a few meters away, was still holding the pile of instructions diligently, so I whispered to Bingtis. Thies explained: "This new universe is not from the empire's reserve. It is a special offer that Monina got from the God Realm... It's not even a special offer. She was spoiled for choice as soon as she entered the mall, and later gave it to herself I bought a set of furniture for the temple, and they gave it to me as a gift. It is said that it is second-hand..."

I have said it out loud, but I still think this is quite incredible, because until an hour ago I didn’t know that there was such a thing as group buying in God’s world, and it also supports online ordering on handheld mobile terminals – of course this is just an image According to Monina, the crystal plate she used was called the Star Resonance Crystal, but no matter what it was called, she saw Monina suddenly take out a tablet-like thing from her pocket and pointed to order one. The scene in the universe still left a pretty deep impression on me.

"To be honest, I really think Monina has the same style as I did back then, but she usually seems much more honest."

Bingtis pointed his chin with his finger and said seriously, "Also, I didn't expect that even the second-hand world can be used for group buying now. This is the same nature as buying and selling second-hand houses. The policies that have been in place for tens of thousands of years have been relaxed..."

I listen to this Khan, what kind of people are there in the God Realm? Do they dare to make their daily lives more colorful? As soon as this idea came up, Dingdang jumped from his palm to the coffee table, bringing himself another surprise: "Relaxation, relaxation! Second-hand goods and gifts are all relaxed! The World Tree was newly installed a few days ago. The entropy adjuster was given to Dingdang when he bought candy!"

I always thought that it was a sensational thing for Dingdang to manage the world with a set of seven-handed World Tree bought from the flea market. But now I know that there is something even more sensational, that is, the world tree is used to manage the world. The key artifact that ensures the stability of the order of the universe is actually given by buying candy... I didn't dare to continue to ask her about how many similar deceptive parts there are on the World Tree. Anyway, no matter how you look at Dingdang, he doesn't look like a master who can save money... …

But compared to the new home of the Exile Fleet, we are lucky. Their universe was given as a gift by a certain kitchen goddess who bought furniture.

And it's second-hand.

"From now on, Monina will be the management god of the new world." I suddenly remembered this, and my tone was very tangled, "I used to think that the world management god had such a brilliant name, but now it seems that he is so careless? "

"That's how it is. To put it bluntly, the God of World Management is just a landlord." Bingtis touched the oil on the corner of his mouth, "I usually idle at home. Occasionally I go to the house to check on the situation. Collect water and electricity bills, and mediate to the death Conflict among residents, well, it’s a bit like property management at this time. By the way, the world management god is also responsible for repairing your roof and waterproofing it (maybe referring to correcting the parameters of the universe). If the residents collapse the wall, we will still be exhausted. The living area was quickly repaired (this may be because some civilizations developed ahead of schedule and used mathematical rules and equipment to destroy their own world). If you want to fine the residents, you have to get approval from your superiors. This is really a boring job... "

I was listening in a daze. It was the first time I heard an evaluation of the awesome job of the God of World Management from a divine perspective. It felt really novel. I never expected that the supreme, holy and majestic God is in the minds of mortals. I actually position myself as a hard worker collecting water bills, and I also work as a house repairman and a community aunt. This may show the difference in realm between mortals and true gods. The latter are generally less slippery than mortals...

"What's going on with fines for residents?" Qian Qian came over at some point and was listening. Maybe he didn't hear everything, so he asked curiously.

"It's a big natural disaster," Bingtis waved his hand domineeringly. "Of course, when the scale is relatively large, mortals will call it the end of the world. Sometimes mortals make too much noise, such as moral decay or aimless research on legal weapons. The former The latter can easily collapse the whole world if it affects the gods. Generally speaking, the management gods will come out to warn and guide them, or simply tell them the correct way to use the laws of the universe. But in extreme cases, there will be consequences. The mortal race that listens to the advice will be hit by various natural disasters at this time. It can be regarded as the final emergency brake against the out-of-control race. However, this method requires review and is very troublesome. Reviews have been going on for ten or eight years to catch up with the peak period. , sometimes they will end the disaster themselves before you wait for the natural disaster to come down..."

I looked down at Ding Dong, who was jumping around on the table, playing hopscotch with a chessboard. The little guy noticed the sight coming from above, immediately raised his head and greeted me with a smile, and warmly invited me to come down and dance with her—— It is completely unimaginable that this little thing would go to his superiors with a straight face to apply to launch the end of the world. It seems that in 2012, we still have to hope that the World Tree will crash or the demo version of her operating system will expire...

I don’t know if Ding Dong will trigger the end of the world. What I know is that this little thing seems to be fascinated by chess now. I don’t know who bought this chess piece back then. Anyway, it has been in the living room for a long time. It was placed inside, and above it was an endgame created by Lin Xue and Qian Qian: only one general and one commander were left to confront each other. God knows how the two stinky chess pieces ended up like this. Now Dingdang is trying to directly switch from "general to general" without flapping his wings. "Jumping on "Shuai", after an hour of trying, she still crawled in front of Chuhehanjie every time. According to the height ratio, this is already an amazing long jump result. Of course, I still think that small things are just for eating. Full. I thought that after she bumped into this chessboard a few more times, it would become an artifact, possessing the characteristic of "divine creatures will inevitably fall flat on the ground after contact"...

"Actually, I have been thinking about a problem since yesterday," I said slowly and thoughtfully with an attitude of concern for the country and the people, "I always feel that there is something wrong with the fallen apostles."

"What are you thinking about again?" Bingtis yawned and looked at me, "You don't usually think about this."

"Why did you think they stopped chasing me back then?" I thought slowly, while picking up Dingdang, who was slapped in front of me again, and gently rubbed it on my face, which made the little thing very happy, "I mean When they were chasing the exile fleet - you know, the Xiling Apostles are a race that will never give up until they achieve their goals. They have to do what they want. Unless the emperor orders it or loses its original value, they will never give up and chase them. A group of enemies that have been defeated by themselves should have no reason for them to give up midway, but according to the known intelligence, the fallen apostles suddenly gave up the pursuit of the exile fleet."

Bingtis looked like he was thinking for a long time. Te shook his head seriously: "Damn, I don't know - did you forget that I didn't follow you there?"

Me: "...Then why are you looking like that! I thought you had guessed something!"

"I'm just here to adjust the atmosphere." Bingtis waved his hand carelessly. Then I called Sandora over at the top of my lungs. When I explained what I was confused about, Sandora seemed a little concerned.

"Yes, there was this confusion before, but this incident seems to have made it clearer," Sandora nodded in agreement, and Dingdang, who was sitting on my shoulder, also nodded his head in the same way. Of course you can use the latter part as the background, she is just a cute little animal. "I have always felt that there is a vague timetable from the fall of the old empire, to the formation of the Fallen Apostles organization, to the resumption of activities of the Fallen Apostles, and until Arjun's awakening. This timetable has a very confusing What’s important to note is that the fallen apostle has a very long dormant period!”

I noticed that Bingtis's eyes lit up for a moment, and she also wanted to understand: "You mean. Those guys were in a latent state from the fall of the old empire until Chen woke up as the emperor, and the exile fleet got rid of the fallen apostles. Is the pursuit a sign of the beginning of this incubation period?"

"Basically, you can think so," Sandora nodded, "I'm not looking down on others, but I have also seen the configuration of the exile fleet. Even in their heyday, it was impossible to completely get rid of the pursuit of the fallen apostles. The enemy apparently suddenly stopped in the middle of the pursuit. According to the records of the 'Parliament', it took a thousand years for the exile fleet to escape pursuit. Although there were unlucky encounters with fallen apostles after that, it was obviously not on a large scale. The pursuit was a small team that accidentally came out to 'breathe', and the large-scale actions of the fallen apostles suddenly stopped a thousand years after the exile fleet set sail."

"So during that period of time, no trace of the fallen apostles was found in the Star Territory, and I didn't even realize that I hadn't received any news from the Xiling Empire for a long time... It was because the place where the disaster occurred was too quiet, and the fallen apostles made a fuss. Then it became quiet in the blink of an eye!" Bingtis clapped his hands and said, causing Sandora and I to roll our eyes: A thousand years can be said to be a blink of an eye, what a magical concept of time!

The three of us worked together for a long time, and finally straightened out this timetable that had been hidden under many events. It was obvious but no one paid attention to it. The information brought to us by the exile fleet made this originally a bit ambiguous. The timetable has turned from a conjecture into definite data, and the abnormal activity patterns of the fallen apostles have gradually become clear.

Usually I call this dramatic development.

"Let's take a look. The old empire was sleeping, and then there was a very short period of chaos." Sandora had already moved her small tea table and the one-meter-high big teapot over, while Bingtis was extremely rustic. Bao Di dipped his fingers into the black tea that was said to be worth a certain amount of silver per gram and traced it on the table. "During this period, the Imperial Army was completely out of control. Even the fallen apostles who had just been transformed did not have their own sanity. They were Unconsciously, he wiped out the empire and began to attack all surrounding civilizations. According to the information provided by the exile fleet, the precise data of this period is probably about two to three hundred years. Then each world collapsed one by one, and the exile fleet gradually merged to form the current The Fourth United Fleet, followed by a pursuit that lasted for about a thousand years - so far the fallen apostles were out of control. Anyway, the intelligence provided by the parliament was that during this period they did not find any rationality in the imperial army. Traces, their behavior is exactly the same as ordinary abyss monsters.”

I nodded: "Bellavilla was also very confused when she recalled this period of history. It seems that she was in a state of frenzy for a period of time after coming out of the temple. At that time... I am afraid that the infected apostles were even the fallen apostles. It doesn’t even count.”

Although the fallen apostles are infected by the abyss, they still have the ability to think rationally, and in many cases, except for their obsession with destroying the world, they behave like normal intelligent creatures. However, according to the records of the "Parliament", the initial pursuit The imperial troops in the exile fleet were as crazy as monsters from the abyss, which was obviously different from the fallen apostles who gradually recovered their sanity.

"More recently, the fallen apostles suddenly went into hibernation." Bingtis continued to harm Sandora's beloved black tea and scratched out the messy schedule on the table. "The intensity of their activities dropped significantly. It can even be said that they were in the main matter. The plane completely disappeared. During this period, everything seemed to be calm. This dormant period lasted for a long time. Due to the unequal time in the void, we did not bother to calculate how many years had passed. In short, in the end What is certain is that the time they resumed activities was roughly the same as the day Chen woke up..."

"Well, it seems that there is a difference of several years, maybe hundreds of years." I touched the back of my head and felt a little cold. "I talked to Bella Vera. She was on a mission to collect the hearts of the world. What happened two hundred years ago, that should be the landmark event that marked the beginning of the active period of the fallen apostles..."

Bingtis suddenly knocked on the table to interrupt my words. She looked here with a burning gaze and her expression was extremely serious: "Chen, you may have overlooked one thing: the time span of this entire history is measured in ten thousand years. The time difference of hundreds of years is negligible, and your void creature is essentially an inert creature, and it is very likely that it will take hundreds of years to respond to a stimulus. In other words, the difference between your awakening and the fallen apostle is huge. Large-scale operations can be regarded as occurring simultaneously!”

"Arjun! You pinched Dingdang and it hurts!"

The sudden small protest from my hand brought people back to their senses. I quickly put the god who was about to be pinched by myself on the table. At the same time, I felt uncomfortable all over, while Sandora stood up suddenly: "I'm going Find Bella Vera!" (To be continued)
