Time, even in this era, there are few ordinary people to ask the essence of time, for ordinary people, time is just a unit of measurement, a ruler, maybe there are a few people who try to go to the past and the future, but there seems to be no result in their lives, just like facing a turbulent river, even if the stones thrown into it are big, it seems that it is difficult to stop the progress of the river, even if it stirs up a few waves, it will eventually be swallowed by the torrent of the river.

If it weren't for the accident that happened in Xingati in the Sahara Desert 60 years ago, perhaps in another thousand years, mankind's grasp of time would still be stagnant, and on that day 60 years ago, two dazzling meteorites fell in the sky, and no one would have thought that in the future they would quietly tamper with the trajectory of the fate of countless people.

And at this moment, the fate of Lidian may be in the center of this vortex...

【Unknown Region of the Milky Way: Lingda】

"Xiao An, has the engine been inspected?"

"Everything is fine, road group"

In the long warp voyage, there are no fixed stars, the dim light in the warp space, so that everyone's perception of time is infinitely diluted, even if there is a system to control the light, the concept of time is still with the gradual deepening of the trip, gradually blurred in everyone's heart, after a simple daily inspection, everyone rushed to their posts, the beginning of a new day, everyone's heart is more or less born a little expectation.

Nearly two months have passed in a flash, and nearly half of the trip has been completed, and Lidian has also learned a lot from following Mu Han during this time, in just two months, Lidian has gotten rid of the weapon idiocy stage when he first entered the [Source Machine], and the joint defense transformation of the spaceship shield was also completely completed yesterday.

"I didn't expect that Lidian would incorporate his ability into the scope of application so quickly, it's really unimaginable."

Even an existence like Lu Bo couldn't help but secretly admire after seeing the joint defense protocol redesigned by Lidian.

"Even though he's just a nobody now, at the rate he's growing, Lubo, I think it's time to add some more tasks to him."

Everything was also seen by Mu Han, in the past time, as the relationship with Lidian gradually deepened, Mu Han also reminded Mu Han of some of the past, some... The past that can't be stirred up from Lube.

In the twenty-fourth century, an era destined to be remembered by all future generations, in 2341, the first human spacecraft equipped with a warp engine successfully flew out of the Oort cloud range, marking the era of deep space exploration for mankind.

The genetic modification program was secretly carried out for more than 16 years, and in just 16 years, the genetic modification program changed five developers, although the plan met the population needs of human beings to expand their territory, but with it came the pursuit of extreme human beings by generations of developers and the continuous tendency to a single human genome, whether it was the fear of perfect human beings, or in order to maintain the existence of genetic diversity, and finally this project was the [Pioneer Alliance] at that time (originally formed by the multinational space agencies and the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, After the dilution of the state system, it was divided into one to six bureaus. Perhaps to prevent the class war that might be triggered by the introduction of super genes into society, or perhaps for some other reason, the [Pioneer Alliance] at that time separated several core personnel involved in the genetic optimization program and started another public plan under its supervision.

A project called the World Tree.

"Could it be him....."

Mu Han looked at Lidian opposite him and asked in his heart.

No one can answer his question, Li Dian himself knows very little about himself, from the beginning of the birth of the [World Tree], the [Nine Bureaus] did not have too many expectations for it, the power of eight people is too meager for an era, no one would have thought that the [World Tree] would grow into a behemoth that is difficult to shake even the [Nine Bureaus] in just a few decades, and now the [World Tree] is like an abyss that swallows everything, with countless eyes condensed on it, and countless eyes swallowed by its emotionless, 300 years ago, the [World Tree], which had always been low-key due to the constraints of the [Nine Bureaus], had an accident that shocked the human world, and an explosion occurred at the core facility of the [World Tree] located in the outer reaches of the solar system, and the light of the explosion was clearly visible even on Earth and Mars, which were 300 AU apart.

Since then, the [World Tree] has begun to expand wildly for thirty years, to the surprise of Mu Han and others, the [Nine Bureaus] did not have any obstacles to the expansion of the [World Tree], but held an attitude of resignation, which made the [World Tree], which was already extremely inflated, start the crazy expansion again, for the first time in nearly six hundred years, the Nine Bureaus mobilized troops within the human jurisdiction to suppress the human turmoil, which caused the world to be shocked at the time, but even so, the World Tree still broke through the encirclement and fled into the [ Heimnar], got rid of the encirclement and suppression of human troops, between the high-energy magnetic storm barrier on the periphery of [Heimnar], the troops of [Ninth Bureau] could not break through in a big way, let alone conduct long-term continuous combat, so that the [World Tree] had a respite, and the Nine Rounds could only continue to invade during the interval, and the two sides were in a stalemate for nearly 300 years, until twenty-four years ago, things eased up.

In 2976 AD, three asteroids grazed the Tropic of Cancer of [Heimnar], causing the rotation of [Heimnar] to speed up, and the yellow-red angle increased by more than 5°, which made the originally not very warm [Heimnar] directly become a frozen planet, and the skyrocketing dust after the impact of the three asteroids spread rapidly in the stratosphere of [Heimnar], and finally caused the entire [Heimnar] to be unable to get stellar light for almost two years, and this natural disaster forced the [World Tree] to be forced to negotiate peace with the Ninth Bureau. This natural disaster also directly avoided the outbreak of the first cosmic war of mankind.

The leaders of the current [Nine Bureaus], including Lu Bo, who were born from the [World Tree], were all compromises made by the [World Tree] at that time.

In fact, years of estrangement have made the [World Tree] and human society have a lot of contradictions, no wonder Eumian was surprised to learn that Lu Bo was born from the [World Tree], although the [Source Machine] is not as strong as the [Nine Bureaus], but it is also a key department in human society, of course, what Eumian doesn't know is that although the [World Tree] is now embattled, but its interior is not an iron bucket, of course, Lubo is not the part of the tribute that the [World Tree] took the initiative to hand over, only a few people know, If it weren't for the natural disasters of the year, the [World Tree] would probably have completed a project that was enough to subvert the human race, if it weren't for the unexpected arrival of the natural disaster, if it weren't for the internal party strife within the [World Tree], I'm afraid that the current human situation would be a different world.

"Do your best, know the destiny of heaven." Mu Han, an old goblin who has lived for an unknown number of centuries, has already imprinted this sentence in his heart, as one of the people who have lived the longest in the human world, Mu Han is naturally the group of people who know the inside story from beginning to end, in order to stop the ambition of the World Tree, Mu Han has been involved in the old things, but to this day, everything that happened after this retirement has begun to get out of his control, people are not as good as the sky, and they are the productivity of human beings today, and some things still cannot be avoided.

The natural disaster twenty-four years ago almost cut off all the dark lines between the outside world and the [World Tree], including Mu Han's few private dark lines, which made Mu Han wake up and become vague about the movements of the [World Tree] in recent years, but all the external forces that had high-level dark lines in the [World Tree] understood one thing, the [World Tree] twenty-four years ago had been operating a plan related to the ultimate human race before the natural disaster came, because of the natural disaster, no one knew whether the [World Tree] had successfully completed that plan, It's just that after that natural disaster, the three supreme leaders who led the [World Tree] all disappeared, and the leaderless [World Tree] was completely taken over by the [Nine Bureaus], which led to nearly twenty years of prosperity and co-prosperity.

Nowadays, the vastness of human territory, more than 20 years is enough time for ordinary people to forget many things, not to mention that it is not a natural disaster that happened in the birthplace of civilization that has nothing to do with them, life has long made them forget the pain that has nothing to do with them, but the [Nine Bureaus] will not forget, and other groups that know a lot about the [World Tree] will not forget, no one will forget this behemoth that once almost opened an era of human turmoil, even if the current [World Tree] is under the direct jurisdiction of the [Nine Bureaus], the people of the year are still interested in the [World Tree] Be prepared.

In a sense, Mu Han is one of these people, or Mu Han is actually a pawn sent by [Source Machine] to monitor Lu Bo, maybe now in addition to Lu Bo, he has to fill in a power code.

Lu Bo's background Mu Han has been found out from a very early age, to put it mildly, Mu Han may know Lu Bo better than Lu Bo himself, years of observation and partners have made Mu Han gradually dispel Lu Bo's suspicions, but this boy named Lidian is not as clear as Lu Bo's life context, it seems that this boy has been abandoned by the [World Tree] since he was born, if it weren't for the chromosome information of the birth file, Mu Han would have to doubt whether Li Dian really lived in the [World Tree], what is even more mysterious is, Lidian's chromosome information file does not mention both donors, which makes Lidian almost a mystery in Mu Han's eyes.

However, it is such a person, Xiahou Ye admires him very much, and constantly personally recommends it to be sent to the [Source Machine], and even came into contact with the blue fragment in the [Source Machine] on the same day, and was handpicked by Lu Bo as the successor candidate, whether it is Xiahou Ye or Lu Bo, one is an academic master who has been dealing with the [World Tree] for more than 30 years, and the other is an intelligence elite who walked out of the [World Tree] and struggled to the top of the human society, both of them do not seem to have the slightest doubt about Lidian, This made Mu Han feel that the two of them might know something he didn't know.

Mu Han's pupils shrank, as if he had thought of something, but then he shook his head again, thinking in his heart:

"Let time tell..."
