The date of its construction is no longer known, but it is still a beautiful work of art. The exterior has not been oxidized, corroded by water or become a parasitic place for aquatic plants and moss, and the white marble stone pillars, magnificent steps, and beautiful decorations all seem to show the glory of the past.

As you climb the stairs, you pass through an arch about fifteen meters high and twenty meters wide, and of course, the arch is not the only entrance, and next to this largest arch there are two secondary gates, but they are gates that do not open except for major festivals - in fact, they have not been used for about a thousand years.

Further on, the red carpet of red velvet inlaid with gold tassels is spread on the smooth marble floor tiles, forming a huge interior area, the size and design of this hall is somewhat similar to the famous St. Peter's Basilica, with a total area of 15,000 square meters, divided into three by rows of apricot, carved pillars of various mythical heroes (that is, statues in heroic posture act as pillars and supporting beams).

On the top is a map of the movement of celestial bodies that I don't know how much manpower and material resources are spent to build, those starry headspace is not static, but a beautiful picture that will flow, on it, you can find the trajectory of the sun, planets, comets, meteors, and satellites, which is exquisite and incredible.

On both sides of the hall, there are some reliefs and frescoes carved accordingly, as well as glass paintings made of colored glass.

Follow the red carpet until you reach the main hall of the Neptune Palace, which is a bit like the ancient Roman council.

In the middle is where the leaders speak, and around them are the Senate, which is arranged in a spiral upward in rows.

The icon of Poseidon, the god of the sea, stands in the very center, and if it were full, it would have a sense of grandeur and incredibleness, but nowadays, it is just an empty venue.

On both sides of the platform, there is a side door leading to the outer cloister, from here, it will be a section of three meters wide, but it feels very long, and from time to time there will be a passage down the steps, because this Sea Emperor Hall itself is built on the surface of the seabed, so this downward walkway only indicates one point, that is, no matter what will appear in front of you, it will be buried under a deeper layer.

Further down, at the pace of ordinary people, it takes about 5 or 6 minutes to reach the end of the corridor, which happens to be connected to another corridor, and in the center, stands a square door.

Then be brave enough to push it open, and the truth you want to know is buried behind this door.

It was a square-like place, and if you counted the scale, it seemed to be wider than the main hall of the Sea Emperor Hall above, and the ground was paved with blue and white tiles on all sides, and then like a computer array, according to a certain spacing, a certain row spacing lined with blue transistor-like vessels.

These utensils contain different individuals, they are like goods in the store with a clear price, classified and discharged in a sequence, and labeled, but here they are all arranged according to the sequence, no, it should be said that it is Qi Ji.

In the petri dish container labeled "Northern Qihime", there is a whole row of northern Qihime with the same appearance and the same body proportions.

The others, in order, are "Battleship Perch", "Moorland Perch", "Expelling Perch", and "Light Patrol Perch......

Each of them had countless substitutes, and they closed their eyes tightly, waiting quietly in the solution of the petri dish for the moment when they would wake up.

In the sky above this square, it is like a large factory densely covered with all kinds of mechanical claws, manipulating and managing these "unactivated guardians", changing their culture fluid every day, and monitoring the situation, which is their job.

However, in the final analysis, although these Suhime have the same appearance, they are actually unfinished products, and as the executors of the plan to maintain the eternal paradise of "humanity", they need the necessary props - "core" for their birth.

That's something that the administrator can't copy or make, so the only way to do this is to recycle the core of a Suhime after her destruction in an inherited way, and then let a new Suhime be "reincarnated".

However, there are exceptions.

At the end of the square, where countless replicas are displayed, there is also a small door.

Unlike this side, which is always lit by electricity as if it were daylight, the world is much smaller and darker at the same time.

Only the occasional flickering red and green light indicates that there is something in this, if you want to make an analogy, this is probably the brain of the entire Sea Emperor Palace, no, it should be the center that controls the entire underwater world.

Gaia, the Administrator - that's its name.

Following the will of the creators, the administrators who have existed in this deep sea for thousands and tens of thousands of years, and the controllers who have existed in the habitat ship with ideology, maintain the survival of "humanity" and build the seabed into a sacred area that is not threatened or violated by any kind, which is the initial and final mission it was given.

In a sense, it is like a conscientious steward, rational, wise, and always following the optimal solution.

This room, the room in which Gaia exists, is generally forbidden land.

The only thing that can be accessed is to prevent its components from rotting, or to file it for a repair robot (which is also controlled by Gaia) after a program goes wrong, but today, there are other guests here, and it is clear that these guests are not popular with Gaia.

"Harbor, Flying Field, I don't remember summoning you to enter this arbitration, you know, just because of this, I can destroy you."

Instead of the dull synthesizer of a normal machine, it is a very neutral, but unmistakably human voice.

- Gaia was very proud of this, because it was given to it by the creator whom it regarded as a god.

Of course, the ban on entering and leaving this room was strictly enforced, but it was not made by Gaia, it was the will of the creator to prevent anyone from tampering with Gaia's information, and for Gaia, it was a sacrosanct will, and you can imagine how angry the faithful butler would have felt when he felt that his oracle had been violated.

However, anger is just an adjective for Gaia, the machine is not without emotion, all it has is choice, among the two options of executing the two Qi Ji in front of him and patiently, listening to their words, Gaia deduced that the latter brought 4.8976627551454575 percentage points more than the former with his extraordinary computing power, so he did not immediately order their execution.

That's all. (To be continued.) )
