"I'm sorry, I was talking to Kashepa just now, you guys really surprised and surprised, I took a lot of effort to keep Kashepa from becoming suspicious......"

After a long time, Harappa finally spoke, and Wu Kang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Kashepa has a strong influence in the family, and I have a big disagreement with him on issues such as the will of the mother tree and the soul, so I have to be cautious."

Harappa added: "Although he is a little suspicious, he can't guess the truth. Moreover, he had to express his gratitude to me for saving one of his motherships, and it should be difficult for him to take the initiative to trouble me again in the family meeting for a period of time, which is all due to you. ”

Wu Kang didn't say that it was just a gesture, but apologized again for his previous rash opening.

Unconsciously, the communication between the two sides has advanced to the point where it can be polite.

Wu Kang's opening was not without gains, it could even be said to be a stepping stone, which won further trust from Harappa, and his subsequent decision made the team a little incredulous: "From now on, I will fully cooperate with you in whatever you want to know, including the affairs of wizards and souls." ”

"You are also very good at controlling the soul, as long as the object is not Pa, on the mothership, you can probe and test anyone, and for specific things, you can find Jizanpa, he is always at your command."

"If you want to go further into our souls, especially to transform lives, you need to be personally involved, and if you can make sure you are safe, you can go to the life laboratory, but before that, I need to do some preparations."

This decision is completely open, and the rights and interests of the two sides are completely unequal, Wu Kang thought for a moment and asked cautiously: "Thank you very much Your Highness for your trust in us, so to what extent do you want to know about our Blue Star people, Your Highness?" ”

Harappa spat out a somewhat bifurcated pointed tongue, this is not cuteness, it is the friendly smile of the Qimu people. As a transcendent wizard, most of the time he is immersed in the soul space, and he is basically paralyzed to the outside, and it is quite rare to show such an expression.

He said softly, "The most important thing, your leader has already told me, is that it is only a framework, but it is enough. If there are too many details, it may not be a good thing to grow new branches and leaves in my soul. What I need now is for you to get to know us as soon as possible, to get to know me, and at that time, in the right circumstances, we will communicate directly and sincerely. ”

Wu Kang vaguely understood, it seems, beyond the wizard is not completely free.

With Harappa's Shang Fang Sword, everyone in the squad was gearing up.

Since the team must act collectively, Cornworth proposes to start with the connection between the Qimu people and the strange stones, and figure out the technical foundation of the Qimu people.

Navigator Mulsey and the two Raiders agreed with Cornworth, believing it to be the most critical task of their trip.

Viola and Li Xiaoxiao felt that this was too aggressive, which was clearly telling Harappa that the team was here to find a way to deal with the Qimu people. It's best to start with the society and culture of the Kimu people, so that Harappa understands that the team is here to improve communication.

The opinions of the two sides turned into a dispute between men and women, and Wu Kang had to reconcile, and finally decided to start with the Qimu people's understanding of the "soul". This is not only the technical foundation of the Qimu people, but also the foundation of social culture.

"Regarding the soul, Your Highness has already explained it, and I will not have any reservations about you. It is Your Highness's expectation that you will be able to fully and correctly understand our souls. ”

Jizampah's answer made everyone in the team secretly say that the captain was wise......

"If you want to talk about the soul, you must start with the Ancestral Mother Tree, and at the right time, Your Highness also hopes to take you there to see, it should be the most splendid scene in the River of Light, the greatest existence. Every time I return to the Ancestral Mother Tree, my soul undergoes a baptism......"

Jidzampa began to tell the story, and the tendentious descriptions full of personal emotions naturally took some effort to sift through, but on the whole, Jizampah deserves to be the most valued by Harappa, with clear logic and clear layers.

According to Jizanpa, the Ancestral Mother Tree was naturally conceived by Guanghe in the evolution of hundreds of millions of years, which made Wu Kang and others subconsciously think of the bubble universe structure that constitutes the multi-dimensional world, and the high-dimensional space-time life formed by the natural superposition of cosmic bubbles.

The birth of the Ancestral Mother Tree was before I don't know how many billions of lights, and in the first long years, it was like the chaos in Chinese mythology, without consciousness, just a muddy existence. At some point, the violent movement of the Light River triggered a gravitational tide on a grand scale, and the tide tore apart the Archaeoptera's tree, filling in the whirlpool caused by the tide, and the soul of the Archaeoptera tree was born.

Of course, this story is just as credible as the creation myth of the Scarlet Stars. However, the fact that the consciousness of the Kimu people can be linked to the Ancestral Mother Tree is at least a rough description of some vague impressions, and not entirely a myth.

After the Archaeoptera Tree "awakened", she found that most of her body was mutilated, and the lost part had been integrated into the entire Light River. In order to get his body back, and in order to survive the next big tide of the Guanghe River, the Ancestral Mother Tree began to "salvage" his body.

But the Archaeoptera Tree was too big for it to rely on smaller beings to do these things, so it created its own sons, the Kimu, giving them immortality, and dividing its soul into Kisu and merging it with the Kimu's body.

The mission of the Qimu people is to conquer the Guanghe River and find the fragments of the First Grandmother Tree. These fragments evolved into intelligent civilizations hundreds of millions of years later, and the Qimu people conquered these civilizations, refined their soul essence, and fed back to the Ancestral Mother Tree.

Every few hundred thousand rays, a gravitational tide erupts in the river of light. The Archaeoptera's Tree has taken a tight and conservative approach at every tide, and the souls of all the Qimu people have returned to the Mother Tree.

After two big tides, I don't know if the Ancestral Mother Tree took the initiative to make adjustments in the details, or if the Qimu people themselves have undergone slight changes, in short, the relationship between the Ancestral Mother Tree and the Qimu people in their souls is not so close. The specific manifestation is that although the Qimu people still have an endless lifespan, the Qisu in their bodies will begin to decline after a certain period of time, unless they become a transcendent wizard. And the purpose of the Qimu people's conquest of Guanghe is not so pure, and refining the soul of the alien intelligent civilization is no longer the only choice, and the Qimu people have learned to enslave and transform the aliens.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the return of the soul to the Mother Tree, and if the next great tide comes again, the Archaeoptera Tree will also recall the souls of all the Qimu people in order to survive such a disaster. This was the case last time, and it will be the same this time.

"In the last era, the Great Tide was separated by 600,000 rays, and this era has passed almost 300,000 rays, is His Highness Harappa worried about being fused by the Archaeoptera Tree?"

Wu Kang asked what everyone in the team was thinking, and before leaving, Xia Ming reminded him that Harappa's personal appeal was not allowed to be in the Qi Empire. Harappa herself showed caution not wanting to know too much or be noticed by the Archaenum tree. Then the conclusion is clear, Harappa wants to attain true immortality and is unwilling to accept the fate of being fused when the great tide comes.

"It is not against our hearts that all souls return to the Mother Tree, and it is the glory of each of us to return to the Mother Tree", Jizampa said in a very serious tone: "Moreover, the soul of the transcendent wizard returning to the mother tree is not devoured, and in the next era, the transcendent wizard will restore the memory of the previous era, although there are not many details left." In fact, every transcendent wizard is the soul awakening of the transcendent wizard of the previous era, and even the previous era. ”

This surprised Wu Kang and the others very much, so to speak, surpassing the wizards was not cultivated by the Qimu people themselves, but a fixed number that existed tens of thousands of years ago, and immortality was achieved through "reincarnation" again and again.

"Wizards in general, and even most Pa don't know this secret, and the reason why I am valued by His Highness Harappa is because he can feel that I was also superior to wizards in the last era. However, each generation changes, and the transcendent wizards of the previous era do not necessarily awaken. ”

Jizampah's words made everyone look at him differently, this is a quasi-transcendent wizard.

Jizanpa continued: "The evolution of life and civilization is reborn again and again, and each time it inherits the main body, and then changes on the main body, otherwise how can there be evolution?" ”

Wu Kang and the rest of the team also felt the same way, but as soon as they said this, Xia Ming's words were difficult to understand, and so on......

Wu Kang's eyes lit up, Xia Ming was talking about Harappa and the Qi Empire, not Harappa and the Ancestral Mother Tree, the Qi Empire and the Ancestral Mother Tree, maybe not the same thing!

"Yes, the Empire and the Ancestral Mother Tree are indeed not absolutely one," Gizampa answered this question clearly.

The Qi Empire was founded by a group of transcendent wizards who first awakened in this era, and they felt that every time the soul of the Archaeoptera Tree and the Qimu people experienced a big tide, it was a little weaker, and in this era, the Qimu people could no longer be organized directly by the Archaeoptera Tree like the original era, and it was necessary for the Qimu people to establish a strong social organization on their own.

During the long Guanghe campaign, the Qimu people learned many forms of social organization, and in terms of efficiency alone, they believed that the empire was the strongest, so they formed the imperial family.

However, the royal family is only a pronoun, and the so-called emperor, like the patriarch of the family, is used to breed a special kind of Qimu people. These strange wood people are responsible for caring for and defending the body of the Ancestral Mother Tree, and actually have little interaction with the families under the royal family. The real power of the empire is held by these royal councils that transcend wizards.

The Great Tide, the Royal Council and the family, everyone in the squad is muttering, how does it sound so similar to the history of the Scarlet People? Could it be that Harappa is playing the kind of character that Sue plays in Scarlet Man?

"There are many contradictions between His Royal Highness Harappa and the Empire, of course, it is only the Royal Council, but the root lies in the soul, and to understand such contradictions, we must first start with the soul."

Jizanpa didn't explain further, but it made a lot of sense, and everyone realized that the Qi Empire and the Scarlet People were different after all.

"Since you also have the power of the soul, you can also take the initiative to connect and even ...... If we protect our souls, there is no danger in participating in the transformation of our lives. Again, I propose that one of you experience our transformation process for yourself, so that you can understand more about what we know about the soul. ”

Wu Kang accepted Jizanpa's invitation, but the team had another debate on the issue of candidates.

Of course, Wu Kang and Su Huan are excluded, Meng Xi, Luo Chai, Ivan and Satomi are not good at consciousness intrusion, in fact, Viola and Li Xiaoxiao are arguing. Seeing that none of them let anyone, a certain agitated person jumped out again.

"Why don't I do it, as a backup member of the squad, isn't this kind of adventure just what I should do?"

Cornworth had a look on his face, and Viola and Li Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say for a while.

Wu Kang knew him very well: "When you go back, you will definitely make a trophy yourself, with words like 'the first human to participate in the soul test of the Qimu people', right?" ”

Cornworth said without blushing: "Haha, when the time comes, I will definitely ask you to be VP!" By the way, if something happens to me, help me change the trophy to 'The first human to die from the Strange Wood Soul Test'! ”

Jokes aside, Cornworth is indeed the most suitable. Viola is the only defender, Li Xiaoxiao has a special identity, and Cornworth, the vice captain, is as versatile as Wu Kang, and he also took the initiative to plug this trip, so he should indeed go to Lei first.

After Harappa's flagship left the battlefield, it joined up with its own detachment that surrounded the home planet of the Roxians, and after making some personnel and material deployments, it jumped again and came to a galaxy controlled by Harappa himself, at which time there was a safe environment to intervene in the transformation of the lives of the Qimu people.

During this time, the team was able to see some humanoid beings, which were not modified products of the Strange Wood people, but some primitive intelligent beings, who were vassals of Harappa.

The only difference between the so-called "vassals" of the Qimu people and the slaves is that the slaves have been transformed, and the vassals have lost their original value because they are ready-made, so they are directly used. There is no freedom in the body or even in the soul.

Seeing the attitude of the Qimu people towards the aliens, Wu Kang and the others also gave up the idea that the Star Alliance and even the human race would coexist peacefully with the Qi Empire. In the eyes of the Kimu, any alien is an evolution of the fragment of the Archaeoptera's tree, and they have the natural and absolute right to dispose of it. The Star Federation wants to solve the problem with the Qi Empire, and Harappa is the only interface.

These humanoid beings replace the Kimu guards and wizards in the flagship life testing area, and are Harappa's means of ensuring that the team's activities are not leaked.

Harappa is the supreme will in the flagship and has absolute control, but it is not excluded that the royal council will carry out a surprise attack and observe the situation with a certain wizard as its tentacles. On the surface, this kind of thing was not allowed, but Harappa's conflict with the royal council forced him to be careful.

The Life Test Zone, a specially arranged top-secret area, is guarded by the Planetarians.

The Tartar is nearly two meters tall, with reflexed leg joints and a smooth tail. The elongated flat head has three fly-like compound eyes, which give them omnidirectional vision, and a body structure that's perfect for running and balance, making them excellent guards as well as trappers.

Compared to the poor high intelligence where the brain is divided into three separate regions, and only the connecting areas are accommodated, inside the forbidden area, the little Campers are much smarter, similar to Master Juda, except that their skin color is not green but red. They are all wizards, and although their soul power is weaker than that of the Scarlet Starmen, they also possess the ability to manipulate floating stones and receive telepathy.

"We started with the most basic modifications, how to transform mollusks into intelligent creatures......"

The Cambellians acted as assistants, and Gizampa himself went into battle.

"Damn, I hate slugs! Hate squid! Hate everything soft and slimy! ”

Cornworth's face was ugly, and he was actually whining in the net. (To be continued.) )
