The stars are in place, the stars are out of place, and the stars are moving freely in the sky, shining coldly on the world, unaware that there was once a great crowd of mortals who were busy with their feet in the sky under their guidance, and in the end they found nothing.

The ancient gods had not returned, nor had the prophesied Day of Judgment come, even though everything that had happened before that had perfectly confirmed those prophecies—such as the monstrous waves of the Endless Sea, such as the special energy fluctuations released by "Ao" under the influence of the stars, such as the frequent whispers of the gods—but other than that, the crucial final step, the Storm Lord's awakening from the depths, did not happen.

The Lord of the Storm is the only god who remains in this world, and if He does not awaken, then the Day of Judgment will not be.

Everything seems to be a joke, but the "culprits" who contributed to this embarrassing situation, those "God Eaters" in the deep sea, know nothing about it.

In the depths of the Endless Sea, which has been blocked by storms all year round, the ancient Siren city of "Antavien" stands quietly where it once crash-landed, and it is slightly inclined to a rocky seabed close to the land, part of the city reaches the "Great Trench", while the other part gradually rises along the seabed, until about a tenth of the sea pokes out of the sea, and stands on the edge of the land that the Kraken calls "Io Continent", forming a magnificent steel wall on the coastline.

The Krakens are accustomed to living in the deep sea, but on this planet with large land areas, they have gradually learned how to survive on land - they certainly don't build large cities on land like humans, but in order to mine resources and monitor the situation of the "Jump Engine", they have built a series of outposts and strongholds along the western coastline of the continent of Io, and the largest of them is the "Cape de Mer" directly opposite the "Steel Wall". The watchtower at this base provides a direct view of two-thirds of the entire "steel wall" and is an important monitoring post here.

The "steel wall" is actually the stern wall of Antavien, in the earth-shattering forced landing countless years ago, Antavien fell straight down from the atmosphere, the technicians tried their best to make the starship that almost lost power slightly adjusted the attitude of the fall, and finally the ship grazed the edge of the land at a thrilling angle, directly sending about a quarter of the land of the continent into the deep sea, and the starship itself slid into the sea along the continental shelf after being seriously damaged, and finally formed the current kind of one end of the offshore trench, One end is on the edge of the continent.

The bow structure was almost completely destroyed in the process, but the stern was preserved intact - a great blessing, at least the most complex and difficult to repair jump engine was preserved.

However, the Krakens soon discovered that even if the engines were in good condition, they could not get the ship back into the air - let alone liftoff, and even the most ordinary machines and equipment on the ship became inoperable after the disaster, and it took a long time for them to figure out that it was a "malfunction" caused by a different law of physics.

Since that day, the Sirens have been trying to learn and adapt to the rules of this world, as if they had returned to the original moment when they lit the lights of civilization, and they had to adapt to the world by adjusting their life forms - but soon they realized that this "starting over" would take more than one time.

The world is constantly shuffling......

But it doesn't matter, the development of civilization is not going to be smooth sailing, and the Krakens are used to this difficult situation in development.

The Siren Queen Pettia arrives at the "Marina Lookout", where she stands tall on a watchtower and looks out at the steel walls on the shoreline, and the energy pipelines on the steel walls are lighting up one by one—the core fusion tower has begun to kick in.

Taking advantage of this "surge" of large squid, the Krakens were able to collect enough engine fuel in advance, and the re-ignition of the core engine was able to proceed smoothly, but the technicians did not have much hope for this ignition, as they still had not solved several key problems in the mana conversion process, although Pettia did not care about these.

Ignition failure is not once or twice, all Krakens are accustomed to it, and Pettia is well aware that even if ignition fails, the technicians can gather valuable technical information from the process - these experiences and the laws of nature based on experience are the most valuable assets.

Krakens are not a very intelligent species, and they may even be called "sluggish" at some times, but patience and optimism are their greatest reliance.

And in the process of activating the core fusion tower, a kraken attendant entered the top floor of the watchtower, her snake tail meandered and crawled, and her body gracefully came behind the queen: "Your Majesty, just now General Vanessa reported that a tide master named Tyr is missing. ”

"Tyr?" Queen Petia frowned, "I seem to be a little impressed......"

"The boy who walks in a strange way...... replied the attendant, "the one who walks like a sea caterpillar." ”

"Oh, then I remember, she's always lazy," Pettia turned her head with a surprised look on her face, "she didn't sleep at home?" ”

"No, she's missing," the squire said solemnly, "she hasn't been seen since the last time she fought those crazy humans. ”

Pettia shook her head: "Maybe it's dead, and then I chose the wrong coordinates when I was resurrected, the last battle was very chaotic, and several sisters who died were even resurrected in the Southern Ocean, and they swam for more than a month before coming back......"

The attendant sighed: "Even if she swam back from the Southern Ocean, she should have arrived, unless she 'arched' all the way back on the seabed in that strange walking posture, then she should still be halfway there." ”

"Send a search team to search the battlefield from the last time, and send some men to the dendens of the mad humans at the edge of the sea to see if our Tide Master has been accidentally captured by those humans...... It's unlikely, but if it's Tyr, it's hard to say. ”

The attendant bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Pettia nodded, and when the squire stepped aside, she turned again, her gaze falling on the winding steel of the distant shoreline.

At the same time, in the secret sanctuary of the Order of the Eternal Sleepers in the Typhon Empire, Nightmare Bishops in black or white robes were gathering in the central hall, and a low and solemn atmosphere lingered over everyone.

"The Children of the Storm and the Society of the End of All Things have sent a message that our allies have all suffered varying degrees of loss from the early activation of the 'Ultimate Plan,'" one of the Nightmare Bishops began, his voice sounding low and cold, "Our losses are minimal in comparison. ”

Another bishop added: "In addition, there is information from the observation base set up by the Children of the Storm at sea, and they have observed an unexplained phenomenon - the tide has risen, and the power of the gods has begun to surge in the deep sea, but soon everything has unusually calmed down. ”

"Therefore we cannot blindly deny the prophecy," said the third bishop, "and all the signs are consistent with the first half of the prophecy, except that the final result is a little off, perhaps some force that we do not yet know interferes with the fulfillment of the prophecy......

The voice of the first bishop was evident with a hint of mockery: "Who can interfere with the resurrection and return of the gods?" ”

"The sea where the Stormchildren observed the vision is in the Far Eastern Sea," the second bishop said immediately, "and it is close to the Kraken's territory. ”

"Kraken...... The ghosts of the deep sea...... "A black-robed bishop who had never spoken suddenly broke the silence, "It is said that they destroyed one of the Stormchildren's frontiers last time......"

"In my opinion, the Stormchildren are not trustworthy at all," said another, "perhaps it was their problem with the observation of the starry sky that caused us to suffer this frustration......

Before the bishop could finish speaking, a low, gentle, but irresistible voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "Enough. ”

The bishops immediately closed their mouths in awe, they turned in a certain direction and bowed their heads respectfully: "Your Majesty the Pope." ”

A vague black shadow appeared out of thin air at the end of the hall, this vague shadow seemed to scan the people on the scene, although the position of their faces was completely blind, everyone felt a sharp gaze sweeping over their bodies and minds, and everyone became more and more in awe.

And this vague black shadow said lightly: "Don't forget about our cause - in the face of our cause, this is not a setback at all.

"Each of us has known this for a long time—that prophecy, though it exists, is not the only one that guides us, it is only a factor, and whether it will be fulfilled or not will not affect our plans.

"Activating Eternal Dream early is just an insurance move to prevent it from being over-prepared, and we're not without anything in the process."

The Pope of Eternal Sleep paused deliberately before continuing, "The first operation of the Eternal Dream Realm generated a large amount of measured data that helped us to finally refine this vast project, and I, in the process of observing the Eternal Dream Realm, discovered its potential and usefulness far beyond our imagination. ”

The bishops stirred slightly, and they looked at each other, clearly curious about what the Pope had to say.

The Pope, on the other hand, did not keep the bishops waiting long, and he quickly announced his decision, which surprised everyone: "After three days of rest, the eternal dream is restarted." ”

There was a muffled discussion at the scene, and a bishop immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, there are still many imperfections in the eternal dream......

"It's only better when it's running...... and evolution," interrupted the bishop from the Pope of Eternal Sleep, "and after careful observation, I discovered this, and I also discovered another thing......"

The bishops fell silent for a moment, and they heard the pope's voice sound:

"I've discovered that the sheer computing power of the Eternal Dream is the key to deciphering the fragments of Gawain Cecil's memories, which seem to have become desolable during the last run of the Eternal Dream, when they showed signs of loosening.

"Nightmare Bishops, pick yourself up, we still have a lot to do - gather your subordinate nodes and prepare to dissect the fragments of Gawain Cecil's memories, we must find out what he- is!"
