Compared to the wizards of the Qi Empire locked in the safe room, Finn and Su enjoyed VIP treatment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSoft lighting, soothing music, sofas as soft as clouds, and ball-like robots also deliver waves of food and drinks suitable for them, so that they can relax physically and mentally, and marvel at everything around them, including robots.

As for a group of spher robots gathering outside the door, treating them as rare animals and exchanging feelings, they don't know.

Xia Ming appeared, and the horses outside the door shook in unison, making a whining whistle, and the tail feathers shook like a human salute, and then slipped away.

"These little furballs ......"

Xia Ming shook his head, the previous generation of Ma Guling had a very short cultivation period because of the needs of the war, and the Ma Gu Ling during the transition period was the second generation, and these Ma Gu Ling were the third generation. Their nurturing period has been extended to three years, which is almost in sync with their natural growth cycle, which not only makes their mental cloud more stable, but also gives their brains more time to develop. The overworking brain that caused the mind cloud to collapse during the Battle of the Ultra Whip is much less, and the lifespan is much longer.

The cultivation period of the third generation of Ma Guling has not yet expired, and these "trainee Ma Guling" who served on the warship are all senior students who participate in "social practice", they are full of curiosity about everything around them, and they are psychologically no different from the juvenile period of human beings.

This is the Ma Gu Ling revolution promoted by Xiao Tang and Liluo, they believe that Ma Gu Ling has proved their loyalty with their lives, and humans should repay the trust with more trust. In the future, if they achieve normal reproduction, they will eventually become a complete life race, and even in terms of consciousness activity, there will be great development. At that time, the maguling will be the most reliable companion race of mankind, not the appendage that must set the meaning of life as it is now.

Xiaotang and Liluo's final expectations for Ma Guling, there is still a debate in the core layer of the Star Alliance, after the lifting of the mandatory vassal restrictions, whether Ma Guling can continue to have a companion relationship with humans, no one can give a full guarantee.

Now, Xia Ming felt that this question might be answered in another life race first.

"Mr. Xia? Aren't you unable to adapt to the atmosphere of a scarlet star? ”

Xia Ming entered the reception room, Su was shocked because he saw Xia Ming's face for the first time, and although Fen had many problems, he was also frightened by the fact that he was not wearing a helmet.

Then Fen himself had an answer: "Oh, you still ...... Projection? ”

Xia Ming smiled and stretched out his index finger: "Come, let's see if I'm a projection or a entity." ”

The feeling of oppression brought by the tall figure, the heat diffused by the body, and the breath when speaking have all revealed the answer. However, Fen still learned from Xia Ming curiously, and stretched out his fingers that were much more slender than those of humans.

The fingertips touched, and the throbbing like an electric shock seeped from the skin into the flesh, causing a circle of ripples in the heart. Fen Dingding looked at Xia Ming, and suddenly felt that this flat face was not so weird and ugly.

Xia Ming said: "I have temporarily adjusted the organ mechanism, and I can adapt to the atmosphere of the scarlet star in a short time, this is our official meeting, and I think we should be honest with each other." ”

Probably the "honest meeting" in the Scarlet language does not have more cultural extension, which made Fen look at Xia Ming's clothes, and his eyes slipped a few times in a certain part before lowering his head. The Scarlet Person's blood was also red, so a noticeable flush appeared on her face.

Perhaps, what she thought was that when she met Xia Ming for the first time, she was "honest".

Su came to his senses and exclaimed, "Sleeper!? ”

Xia Ming waved his hand, projecting the image of the wizard from before beside him: "This is the Eternal Sleeper." ”

The uniform made Fen and Su subconsciously hug each other, and then they were surprised by the difference in their faces.

Compared with Su, Fen's courage was obviously bolder: "Mr. Xia, you ...... Who the hell is it? ”

Xia Ming smiled: "Before answering this question, don't you want to know who you are?" ”

He pointed to the image of the wizard and said, "This is your creator......"

In a sense, the Scarlet Stars are very similar to the Marguling, both of which were created by another civilization for a certain purpose.

The Maguling is supposed to be a "second creation", resurrected by human beings on the remains of the life of the Matt Ball, and the life of the Matt Ball is artificially designed for a certain purpose. The Scarlet Star People are the transformation of the "ancestors" on the basis of a certain marine mammal, with the purpose of cultivating a life race with a high concentration of "strange elements" to meet their needs in war.

The essence may be different, but the status is the same, all subordinate beings serving another life race.

Speaking of the "ancestors" who created the Scarlet People, this is a long story.

The Academy of Sciences has given this creature a scientific name, called "Qimu People", Qi is the Qi empire they created, and Mu is the plant gene corresponding to their body.

Converted into the concept of human time, the Qimu people have a history of tens of millions of years, and their civilization has undergone several generations of evolution, and now it is the eighth generation. In this generation, they have developed for nearly 10 million years, and their empire has stagnated three or four million years ago, both in terms of social form and technological level.

Compared to their low level of warfare, the "soul technology" they mastered made the entire empire, and the vast star field ruled by the empire, closer to a magical world.

The "soul technique" allows them to have power close to that of the gods in three areas, the first is the "soul", which is actually another system of consciousness activity, rough and sensual. This gives them abilities such as mental shock, but more importantly, this power gives them the ability to grasp more and more powerful powers through "strange stones".

The second is gravity, the "strange stone" allows them to grasp gravity at a deeper level, so that they have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, and evolve gravitational barriers and gravitational weapons.

The third is life, "strange stones" can allow them to explore the nature of life at a deeper level, and wizards who specialize in this field can design and create new lives on the basis of lower life, and give these life souls, as well as various abilities they need.

The Qimu people attribute the strength of their soul power to the "Qi Su" that the soul induces the "Qi Stone", and the purpose of the Ma Youwei family to create the Scarlet Star is to cultivate a race with enough "Qi Su" level to produce a large number of low-level wizards to serve the family.

When the wizard first talked about the "strange stone", Xia Ming didn't quite understand it, and the wizard said that the core of the star ring was the "strange stone", and the tear crystal was a derivative of the "strange stone" after it lost control, and he realized that the tear crystal was just a secondary product of the "strange stone".

As for how the "strange stone" came about, although the wizard class of the Ma Youwei family is high, it is only the middle-level backbone of the receiving team, and it is still very young, so he can't say anything, he can only use a few creation myths of the Qimu people to fill the number. Xia Ming lacked reference information, and for a while could not distinguish which accounts in the myth were true and which were fictional.

The only thing he can be sure of is that this "strange stone" should be another form of existence of the Zhiyin core.

As he initially suspected, the reproduction of the Qimu people was also very peculiar, their "emperor" lived in a world tree that was said to be the size of a galaxy, relying on the power of the "strange stone" to extend the branches and leaves to the other seventeen galaxies, and from these branches and leaves, the original seventeen dukes were born.

The Duke's descendants continue to expand externally, and every time they control a galaxy that meets the criteria, they can have a branch of the World Tree, and only under the branch of the World Tree can the Qimu people give birth to offspring.

The wizard didn't know the details of fertility, he only knew that fertility meant death. Moreover, this fertility is autologous reproduction, and at least a thousand offspring are born each time. The World Tree branch has a finite number of "fertility indicators" in each cycle, which forces the Qimu people to constantly expand externally.

The social structure of the Qimu people is also quite peculiar, and they are divided into two categories: wizards and warriors. And this classification is related to age, generally speaking, the young Qimu people are all wizards, and the old ones are basically warriors.

This is related to another trait of the Kimu, they are immortal, and as long as the World Tree of this generation is alive, they will not die naturally.

But as time passes, the "Qisu" of the Qimu people will continue to decline, the "soul" will become weaker and weaker, and the social status will become lower and lower, and in the end, they can only be cannon fodder-like warriors, hoping to gain liberation on the battlefield.

In each family of the Qimu people, the patriarch is the highest level of Qisu, and his only mission is to go to the World Tree to branch and multiply when Qisu reaches the highest level, and create a group of descendants with a higher average level of Qisu for the family.

However, Wizard Ma Youwei said in frustration that the general trend is that one generation is inferior to the next, which also makes the Qimu people continue to accelerate the pace of external expansion, hoping to discover new beings with a high concentration of Qisu, and through some way, improve the Qimu people's own "Qisu" level.

This made Xia Ming roughly understand the true intention of the Qimu people to create the scarlet people, as well as the tragic fate that the scarlet people were originally destined to.

Hearing Xia Ming say this, Fen said in horror: "You mean, we Scarlet Star People were created by our ancestors...... Food? ”

Xia Ming sighed: "It is more appropriate to say that it is life fuel. ”

Su has been stunned, this information is too large for her to digest, Fen posted her thoughts to Xia Ming's side, which is much easier. She said with emotion: "Fortunately, I met Mr. Xia, otherwise the future of our entire race is really unimaginable." ”

Xia Ming said very frankly: "If their plan hadn't had an accident more than 100,000 years ago, it wouldn't have been our turn to interfere." ”

More than 100,000 years ago, the "Human Resource Development Association" in the Qi Empire, which specializes in the business of "Qi Su Life Cultivation", was commissioned by the Ma Youwei family to come to this galaxy to investigate the ancestor of the evolution of the Scarlet Man.

When the development team sent by this chamber of commerce was doing a faster-than-light jump, it was probably the wizard in charge of navigation who had a mistake and had a traffic accident, which smashed the target planet and caused problems for their ship. The wizards who were able to navigate and communicate were probably dead, trapped in this remote galaxy.

The only chance to go back is their agreement with the Ma Youwei family. According to a certain setting, once the cultivated life reaches a certain standard on the odd element, the Maywe family will send a mothership to receive it.

They can only change the cultivation environment to the scarlet star, and for this reason, they also engaged in planetary transformation projects, and the millennium tide may also be their way, this environment will stimulate civilization to move more quickly towards wholeness, and at the same time stimulate the growth of individual power.

The Qimu people of the developer association settled in the Scarlet Star, put the star ring that greeted the receiving team of the Ma Youwei family in the deep sea, and put the spaceship equipped with the star ring traction and starting device in the Mu Star, and then made a series of arrangements, and then because of the lack of support from the World Tree, they were afraid that the Qi Su would pass too quickly, so they froze themselves and waited for the Scarlet Star to evolve to the point where they could activate the star ring.

In the creation myth of the Scarlet Starmen, it is no longer clear how much of the description of ancestors and demons is the design of this Chamber of Commerce, or the original imagination of the Scarlet People themselves.

However, the Scarlet Planets, like all civilizations, are caught in internal strife, and because of this strife, one side seeks more powerful power to activate the Star Ring, which seems to be the inevitable development of countless intelligent races in a closed environment. From this point of view, the developers' plan was successful, which probably has something to do with the fact that their profession is engaged in racial evolution and they are used to seeing this kind of history.

But neither the Qimu people nor the Scarlet Star people expected that another civilized race would emerge and change the fate of all parties.

Xia Ming was thinking, this is a great luck for the scarlet people, but for humans, how can it not be a great luck?

Not to mention the existence of tear crystals and strange stones, when Xia Ming told the Academy of Sciences about the immortality characteristics of the Qimu people, the Academy of Sciences was boiling, they were having a headache for the strange plant genes on the Qimu people, and now it seems that it is this gene that gives them the characteristics of immortality.

Gravitational Mastery! The use of the core of Zhiyin! Eternal life!

Yongshu 1, a small galaxy, has gathered so many technologies that are close to mythology, including Xia Ming himself, who is glad for the decision not to rashly erase the Scarlet Star Civilization in the first place, but to observe it deeply.

"Mr. Xia, where are you from? Did you come here with a similar purpose as your ancestors? ”

Su finally found some ideas, she was not like Fen, because of all the previous contacts, she had a lot of trust in Xia Ming.

Xia Ming said: "We are human beings, from the distant starry sky......"

"Ren...... Tear......? ”

Fen and Su repeated this pronunciation at the same time, and Xia Ming changed the title in the Scarlet Star language: "It's okay if you call it Blue Star People." ”

"You...... It's not blue at all", Fen looked at Xia Ming's face and said suspiciously.

"In our language, you are called 'Scarlet Stars', and this crimson is a kind of red, but there is no red on your face or body."

As soon as Xia Ming finished speaking, Fen's face turned red, it seems that the concept of "shyness" is common between humans and scarlet people.

After the small episode, Xia Ming did not avoid Su's question about the purpose: "We, like the Qi Empire, are both seeking development, but we are here to fight against a powerful enemy. For you, our original plans have been wiped out completely. ”

Both Fen and Su's breathing stopped, not to mention Su, Fen subconsciously shrank away, wanting to stay away from Xia Ming.

Xia Ming comforted: "But don't worry, we don't think so now, because we have a common enemy." ”

"Ancestors...... No, the Qi Empire? ”

Su grinned and said in a mocking tone, "Our fate is still not in our hands, right?" ”

"No one can take their destiny completely into their own hands, not even the ultimate will of the universe. You see, the birth of every life race is involuntary, and you scarlet people are just a small family in the Qi Empire, created for their own reproduction. We Blue Star people, on the surface, seem to be created by nature, but in fact they were created by a supreme being, for their own continuation, as a backup plan. ”

Xia Ming's words made the two little scarlet girls awe-inspiring: "The starting point of fate cannot be changed by anyone, but the end point is something we can explore and pursue, and this process is the real destiny." ”

He looked at Finn and Sue as if he were looking at two ignorant apprentices listening to his sermons: "The world is multidimensional, the universe is endless, life with souls is everywhere, and they can be enemies and friends with each other, depending on how they understand each other's fate." ”

"Regarding fate, like the growth of the soul, there are two choices, one is to plunder others and make others themselves. One is to see oneself in the eyes of others, and at the same time help others grow, and at the same time, they also grow. ”

These words made Fen and Su silent for a long time, and just when Xia Ming thought that they still couldn't understand, Su suddenly asked: "You Blue Star people, is the criterion you pursue the latter choice?" ”

Xia Ming shook his head: "Not all, and for you scarlet people, many of my peers think that there is no value in making us make any choices." ”

A mist rose in Fen and Su's eyes, sure enough, the scarlet people were too weak, in the eyes of the Qi Empire, they were just insignificant experiments and consumables, and the Blue Star People were much stronger than the Qi Empire, how could the Blue Star people care about the Scarlet People?

Seeing them like this, Xia Ming thought of the confrontation between the heavenly nobles of the Scarlet Star People and the underground people, and said in his heart, in fact, your value has long been reflected, that is, let the Star Alliance re-examine itself.

"However, whether there is value or not, it is just a judgment. If you dare to face your fate and find your own direction in an uncertain future, can't you stand up for yourself and prove to us the value of the Scarlet People? ”

After Xia Ming said this, he left because he had something to deal with. In the reception room, Su's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found a direction to work on, Fen breathed a sigh of relief, and said as if complaining: "Mr. Xia is a good person with justice in his heart, you didn't dare to test him like that just now!" ”

Su looked at Fen, rolled her eyes helplessly, thought about it again, and scolded herself for being stupid with a wry smile. Fen's mentality, as well as Xia's understanding of Fen, may be one of the values Xia said.

Xia Ming was in a hurry to leave because the general trend had been decided. In the virtual field of vision, the gravitational barrier of the mother ship had been completely shattered, and on the huge hull, countless small fragments and human bodies were tumbling in the spurting air current.

"They turned off the engines, threw the guns out, and stood in the gun doors, the breaches, and the hatches, and everywhere we could see, they were kneeling with their hands crossed, presumably in a gesture of surrender."

Su Yu's tone was a little strange, and Xia Ming knew that she had a later word: "And then?" ”

"We scanned the inside of the mothership and found that the other side had at least ...... More than 20 million people ......"

Xia Ming is also stunned, more than 20 million people!?

This is just a small receiving team of a small family, and there are more than 20 million people!

Then how many Qimu people there will be in the entire Qi Empire, this is unimaginable! (To be continued.) )
