Chapter 1615: The History of Poetry (Part II)

There is no doubt that this is a hurt that will have an impact on two people. The manifestation of this is the shortening of life expectancy and the advent of aging. In short, the Ypsilons had to breed at the expense of themselves. Therefore, even if this race develops later, it can travel freely in the universe and has a lot of resources, but the size of the race has not expanded like humans.

From a human point of view, it may be a terrible thing to think that the Epsilon must reduce their lifespan in order to reproduce offspring, but for the Epsilon people, this is not such a terrible thing, it is a part of their lives......

In Tang Fang's view, this is just like the result of the praying mantis reproducing offspring, the male mantis becomes the food of the female mantis, which seems cruel, but in fact, from the standpoint of a bystander, it is just a manifestation of the biodiversity of nature.

Speaking of the social culture of the Ipsilons, there is a certain religious color, but their belief is not God or Buddha, but a sacred place that gives life and glory.

The Ipsi Dragons are convinced that upon their death, the Ipsi Dragon Runes will return to the Sanctuary, where their souls will be. This is not a myth and legend, there is ample evidence for this.

They are born from the Sanctuary and end in the Sanctuary, which is a very perfect reincarnation.

Besides, the Elants, who have lost the favor of the primordial energy, do not have the lifespan of 10,000 years of the Epsilon dragons, nor do they have the Epsilon runes, and they will not evolve a very special way of reproduction. But even so, it is not difficult to live for two or three thousand years with his physical fitness.

There is an old saying in human society that adversity makes people grow, and comfort makes people slack. The Ipsilons have a congenital advantage, but they are not much higher than the Elants in terms of technological development, and they are superior at most.

Before entering the stage of space civilization, there have been many exchanges between the brother civilizations of these two planets. As a result, in the initial stage of space civilization, the society, culture, production, and life of the two major races can be naturally integrated.

This is not to say that the integration process is perfect, but that those differences and conflicts do not pose a real obstacle to the integration process of the two communities.

Although both sides were born under the influence of the primordial energy and can be said to be a brother race, from the perspective of the general trend of society, the status of the Ipsilons is still higher.

In this way, the Ipsilons and the Elantes spent a long honeymoon period. As an integrated society, it has progressed to the stage of space civilization.

The Tang side was well aware that the Elantes and the Ipsilons eventually moved from harmony to antagonism, and then to tears and wars. The source of the contradiction is a special life form discovered by the Ipsilons in the process of exploring the outer galaxies.

It is a species in the form of a tree, immobile, unable to walk, but possessing a magical position that helps them to share consciousness, in other words, these tree-like beings are in a fourth-density state.

At that time, the Ipsisaurians had not yet created a system to use dark energy to share spiritual feelings, and they were very interested in tree-like lifeforms.

After much effort, the expedition brought the dendripaneous lifeforms back to their home planet, Serepas, for various studies.

At that time, there was opposition in society, arguing that although the tree-like life form could not move and could not speak, its special way of communicating spiritually meant that the tree-like life form was an intelligent creature and should be respected for its existence, rather than treated as an experiment.

While the council of the Elantes and the Ipsilons was arguing over how to deal with the tree-like lifeforms, the previously peaceful Sanctuary suddenly went berserk, creating an energy storm in the planet's atmosphere.

Thankfully, the energy storm caused few casualties. However, the tree-like lifeforms took advantage of the storm environment to disappear and break free from the control of the Ipsisaurians.

When the sky cleared again, the sanctuary reorganized itself and became the same as ever.

However, as time went on, the Ypsi Dragons were horrified to find that the power of the Sanctuary was weakening, the most obvious manifestation of which was that the lifespan of the clan became shorter, and the difficulty of reproduction increased.

Through various investigations and studies, scientists concluded that the reason for this phenomenon may be related to the energy storm and tree-like life forms back then.

In the following exploratory hunt, they confirmed this hypothesis, because they saw those tree-shaped lifeforms again, they had changed their form, from immovable black-gray deadwood, to special forms of lifeforms that could move in space, and could help their companions on the planet evolve by sharing the energy matter of the core of life...... Transform into a special form of life like them.

There is no doubt that these things have stolen the Sanctuary's energy and caused irreparable damage to the systems of Serepas.

Enraged, the Ipsi Dragons launched a hunt for tree-like lifeforms across the universe.

You must know that at that time, it can be said that at the peak of the Epsilon civilization, those tree-like lifeforms and the special forms of lifeforms that evolved were either destroyed or captured, and became research samples of the Epsilon people.

The Ipsi Dragons tried to find a way to restore the energy levels of the Sanctuary by studying the evolution of tree-like lifeforms to special lifeforms. However, the hope is good, the reality is cruel, they have spent a long time, a lot of resources, but they have not been able to find a solution to the problem, and it is in this situation that the people continue to die, and the size of the group has shrunk uncontrollably.

This kind of panic that pervades the whole society has caused the Ipsilon people to lose their original fraternity, kindness, optimism, and gentleness...... and other positive traits, becoming impatient, utilitarian, selfish, hateful, intolerant.

Due to the social contradictions caused by the loss of energy in the Sanctuary Realm, it manifested itself in the wanton slaughter of tree-shaped lifeforms and the special forms of lifeforms that evolved from the beginning, or enslaved them and turned them into the energy source of the spaceship to use this special revenge, which slowly led to the outbreak of internal contradictions among the Ipsi dragons.

Just like the various war scenes and internal strife tragedies that Liana showed to Claire in the Sanctuary, the Ipsilons of different tribes competed for the energy of the Sanctuary, the resources of racial reproduction, and their attitude towards the Elants...... and other issues are getting bigger and bigger, and contradictions and conflicts are constantly erupting. Although it is not yet the level of war, the internal friction is becoming more and more serious.

It was in this situation that the accumulated feelings and interests hurt the Elantes could no longer tolerate the depraved Ipsilons managing the Sanctuary, and then launched an offensive against the planet Serepas.

What happened next, he had already seen in Liana's memoirs.

The Ipsi Dragons fled from the planet Serepas and came to the galaxy after a long journey, and the Ipsi Dragons, who were determined to take home from the Elants and a heart of hatred and struggle, stopped in the Lost Lands and began to vigorously develop science and technology to accumulate strength for the counterattack on the planet Serepas.

But as in the case of the fleet of Ipsilons, another group that settled in the solar system, the rapid deterioration of physical and mental conditions, as well as the loss of the ability to reproduce, were two key deficiencies that constrained the development of society.

Before the Elrants launched an offensive against the Serepas, there were dissenting voices in the hierarchy and were prepared to inform the Ipsilonians in advance to prepare for defense.

The name of this Elante High Priest is Nolanco Saltada, and he has a high prestige in both Elante and Ipsiron societies, and is committed to further promoting the integration of the two cultures and societies. The last thing he wants to see is a split between the two races, or even turn against each other.

It's a pity that he couldn't get the news out and was put under house arrest by the main battle faction.

After the outbreak of the war, the Epsilons were defeated and the remnants fled "overseas", and Nolanco Saltada was disappointed by the actions of his people and left the planet after being released, disappearing.

Just when the Ipsi Dragons are trapped in a physical imperfection and in danger of extinction, Nolanco Saltada appears to them and brings a new technology that can continue the lives of the Ipsi Dragons.

Yes, it's the psionic fire technology that is enough to carry the Ypsi Dragon Rune.

This special nature of quantum computers stems from the study of "thieves" (special forms of life that evolved into tree-like lifeforms).

The souls of the Ipsilons can be preserved in psionic flames, and they are able to manipulate mechanical bodies and other electronic devices more efficiently. For example, the Statue Guard.

Because the technology is derived from the "thief", its unique structure can slow down the decay of the Ipsisaurus runes, and as for the body of the Ipsi dragon, it can be frozen. When the dispute between the Ipsilons and the Elrants is resolved in the future, and the Sanctuary is returned to the land of the light, the body can be liberated and returned to its roots.

First, the Ipsilons of the Lost Lands are in danger of extinction. Second, although Nolanco Saltada was an Elantlic, he was a staunch pacifist, a recognized sage of both communities, and the most staunch opponent of the Elantrites in waging war against the Ipsilons. Thirdly, the preliminary experiments proved that the scheme was feasible.

In such a situation, the vast majority of the Ipsilons in the Lost Lands accepted the plan, freezing their bodies and turning them into statue guards, or directly becoming the control center of a large facility.

Knowing this part, Tang Fang finally figured out the question that he had been puzzled about before - why there were no corpses of Ipsilons in the ruins of the Epsilon in the Lost Lands, only a broken statue guarding it.

In addition, it is no wonder that the Ipsisaurians who stayed in the solar system were initially a little reluctant to keep their minds and replace their bodies, believing that the Epsilon scientists who led the experiments had a secret connection with the Lost Lands.

The Ipsilons of the Lost Lands have no worries after acquiring this technology, and technology is developing rapidly, but more powerful weapons are needed to defeat the Elantens...... Affected by the experience of being evicted from their homes, the vast majority of the Ipsilons did not believe that they could resolve their disputes by peaceful means, even with Nolanco Saltada running through them.

They found that the extradimensional energy used to construct the transmission channel in the "Soul Transfer Surgery" was able to directly collapse the space-time structure within the target area through transformation and amplification. At the same energy level, it is much more damaging than existing weapons.

Despite Nolanco Saltada's best efforts to stop it, the Ipsilons, blinded by hatred, started the research process, began to extract this special energy in large quantities, and gradually developed the corresponding weapon system.

Nolanco Saltada was placed under house arrest for a period before escaping the Lost Lands with the help of conscientious Ipsilons.

Some time later, he returned to Aland and told his compatriots about it.

What happened next Tang Fang was already able to guess.

The Epsilon and the Elantes fought a great war in the Lost Lands, but the result of the war was that there was no winner, and the device used by the Epsilon Civilization Center to extract energy from another dimension went berserk, tearing a rift between the current dimension and the other dimension, creating a huge space-time vortex, and the chaotic energy engulfed and distorted the airspace hundreds of light-years in diameter at a speed exceeding the speed of light, completely destroying the home of the Epsilon people.

Eden...... It became a lost land.

If things get to this point, it's just a civilizational tragedy. However, the reality is a cosmic crisis.

The Ipsilons were grateful for the help they had received from Nolanco Saltada, and the Ellantes honored him as high priest. They did not know that the philanthropic sage, who had disappeared for a long time and returned to their sights...... He has long been corrupted by the forces of evil and has become an apostle of doom.

Nolanco Saltada left Alan mainly because he was dissatisfied with the status quo and disappointed with his own people. Choose not to focus on those things that are full of sadness, to seek truth, to explore, to detach.

He tried to leave this universe, and after many efforts, he managed to reach a dreamlike dimensional space, and lost consciousness in a long drift.

When he woke up, he was back in the current universe. Nothing has changed, except for the evil consciousness that occupies his body...... This point, in Tang Fang's opinion, is like Claire's experience of being occupied by the Queen of Blades.

What Nolanco Saltada did next was all for the purpose of opening the dimensional channel.

He took advantage of the hatred of the Ipsilons to induce them to use the T-energy stones they brought out when they fled from Serepas, as well as the massive zero-prime isotope crystals collected during the reconstruction of their homeland, to extract energy from another dimension, eventually causing a cosmic collision and opening a passage to the other dimension where the evil consciousness is located.

Some time after the Battle of the Lost Lands, Nolanco Saltada and his followers took the Elantes corpses on the battlefield, as well as the corpses of the Ipsilons who had not undergone the separation procedure, and transferred them to the place where the Epsilons hibernated their bodies.

This place is not new to Tang Fang, as it has been to it many times before - the West Tower Quadrant.

He had seen a large number of empty crystal hives in the core of the Black Sphere, which was clearly not a warehouse for the isotopes of the Ipsilon isotope. Now, he knew what it was for—the hibernation pod that the Ipsilons had prepared for their own shells.
