Chapter 681: The Dawn of the Age of Mythology
Shen Chao had now understood why the magic-using traveler of the same kind would attack him, and why he had fallen into a deep sleep. He also knew that he had to make some drastic changes, and to make effective moves to interfere with the course of the main plane's history before things deteriorated further.
If he does nothing, he will certainly have nothing to lose, but everything he knows will dissipate and collapse, and at least the main plane will be in a situation from which it will be impossible to recover in the foreseeable future. At that moment, Custer came to visit him with a group of others.
"Are we bothering you?" Custer knocked on the door with a little smile and asked, he had reason to be happy, because for the past two and a half months, he had been under pressure that should have been borne by Shen Chao, and as a mortal, this pressure was very great. Finally, his wait came to a good end, and he was still in the mood to joke after a sudden relaxation.
"Yes, but I think we can forgive this level of interruption. Isn't that right, dear? Shen Chao also responded easily, and by the way, he also pulled Alice for advice, and the latter also nodded, and the dull atmosphere dissipated in an instant, although some people felt that everything had returned to normal.
"Come on in, we have a lot to talk about." After Shen Chao finished speaking, he sat up and beckoned everyone to come in, although he was still wearing a hospital gown, his momentum had recovered most of it, and everyone could see that he was going to call everyone to discuss and assign work. Although no one knew what the job would be at this time.
Their guess was right, Shen Chao didn't make much politeness, and after all the high-level leaders of the expedition team gathered, they immediately began to summarize the current situation and plan future actions. But first, he wants to share important information with everyone so that everyone can realize the seriousness of the problem.
It's not that hard. The senior members of the expedition have also repeatedly argued what happened, and some of these speculations are quite reliable. After getting this part of Shen Chao's explanation, everyone immediately understood the current situation they were in.
"So, there are other traversers, right? I mean, except for the one that has been killed by the gun. Custer continued to ask questions on behalf of everyone.
"That's right. And this attack on us is the same as mine. The difference is that I'm the last one in my batch. Everyone else has more or less mastered the inheritance information carried by some of the space-time fragments, but the fragments I inherited have no information. By the time I first crossed, there should have been 10 other travelers. Shen Chao announced this answer that made everyone frown. However, he didn't seem to be satisfied, and continued to break the news.
"Don't frown, it's not over yet, according to my latest interpretation, I'm only going to get more of my kind now." If my guess is correct, there are now at least 30 traversers out there! ”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was immediately stupefied. A traverser has already caused such serious consequences if 30 traversers come to the door to PK, if 30 traversers start a big fight, then the earth of the main plane may soon be over. Even if they are not in the solar system right now, they are not completely safe.
Although the number given by Shen Chao is a guess, it is actually very close to the actual value at this time. The number of traversers is not static, and anyone can know this through common sense, but what many people don't know is that simply killing a traverser does not make his abilities disappear.
It is not any part of their body that carries the special abilities of the traversers. Rather, it is a fragment of space-time that cannot be detected. After the death of the host, the Temporal Fragment will only find a new host, and transfer the ability to the new host completely.
And if it can't find a perfect host (it doesn't exactly match the previous one). It will split itself into smaller fragments into the bodies of multiple individuals who bear a high degree of resemblance to the previous host, creating a new batch of traversers. Based on this theory, it seems that there will only be more and more traversers, after all, the more people die, the more they will be born.
But there is one exception here, and that is the other traversers. After the death of the host. If a perfect new host is not found, the Temporal Fragment will be more inclined to "merge" with other Temporal Fragments that have already bound the user, becoming a larger and more complete part.
And it was this mechanism that attracted the man with glasses to attack Shen Chao. If his assault at that time succeeded in achieving its goal, he killed Shen Chao. Then it is indeed possible for him to survive and fuse two pieces of space-time fragments into the most powerful being known of all his kind.
However, in the end, he himself was defeated and died, and the shards of time and space he carried were split into 11 pieces, and he went to find a new user. When the glasses man died, Shen Chao was still busy moving battleships and pulling support in the rear. He is not on the main plane, so the space-time fragments carried by the glasses man did not merge with him, but bound to new users all over the world.
But just when those fragments had not yet fully bound their new users, Shen Chao ran back to the main plane without dying, and the result was that those space-time fragments had a secondary split, and all the inheritance information was fused into Shen Chao's space-time fragments, and the power remained in the bodies of that group of new users.
In other words, just this one accident has added 11 new traversers to the earth. All of them were the same as Shen Chao when he first acquired the ability, he didn't get the information inheritance part, and he didn't know about the source of his power and the existence of other traversers.
These people will further disrupt the situation, and no one can say that no other traveler has died unexpectedly before. After all, the traverser is not a god, and it has been nearly 5 years since Shen Chao's first crossing.
In such a long period of time, there will always be someone among the 11 first-generation traversers who succeeds in killing themselves. Even Shen Chao has had several moments when his life hung by a thread. Thinking about it this way, the number of traversers is likely to explode long ago, and it is not easy for the expedition team to feel the influence of other traversers so late.
With so much information, Shen Chao took the time to carefully explain the relationship and make sure everyone understood how dramatically the world had changed. And after thinking about it for a while, everyone had the same question, which was, "What can they do about this crisis?" ”
"Don't be nervous, we still have some time. The live dynamics of the battle weren't revealed, right? Shen Chao asked if the main plane had announced their existence to the public. The answer, of course, is no.
"Yes, although we have not sent anyone back to Earth, from the information we have intercepted, governments are treating this incident as a natural disaster. Maybe a few of the great powers that maintain the world order have learned part of the truth, but they have absolutely buried the truth, and we have not interfered the whole time......" Custer summed up the results of their long-distance observations.
"You're right, we can't unconsciously leak ourselves. But now, we have to be a little more aggressive. Otherwise, everything in the future will be out of our control. Shen Chao said this and began to talk about the action plan he had just planned.
He was well aware that the other fellow traversers who had not yet shown their faces were likely to have far more individual and collective power than the glasses man who attacked him, and that any use of force to force and threats would only reinforce the conflict. So the action plan he proposed was very streamlined, with very few steps to be implemented. No one will be harmed, at least not on the surface.
Unlike the surgical-like plan of action that requires careful planning and careful implementation in the high-tech plane, this plan designed to ease the contradictions between all traversers is very simple in the planning stage, and the implementation idea is unparalleled, just send a few people to the ground to kidnap a few ordinary people and bring them back for a few days. But its importance was far greater than any other mission ever carried out by the expedition.
It can be said that this mission, which was later named "Solas", successfully affected almost all the travelers, and the travelers are still affected by it until generations later. Its implementation shaped the common order that most of the travelers followed, and indirectly created a short-lived but very prosperous era of the Great Time-Travel.
Few people know whether the prosperous era of the Great Traverser was the ideal future that Shen Chao deliberately shaped at this time, or whether it was an inadvertent chain reaction. But all those affected by this plan must admit that in this early era of the great rise of the time-travelers, Shen Chao was the undisputed king of all the time-travelers.
He was the object of imitation by all the later traversers, and after laying the foundation of an era with their own hands, they themselves quietly left with their own organization, leaving only a few footprints and deeds for future generations to study.
It wasn't until a few generations later, after the era of the Great Timetraveler had long since disappeared and the Earth of the main plane had become a wasteland due to the plane war, the surviving humans still formed a ballad in his time, packaging the story between Shen Chao and the other time-travelers into myths and legends to tell the new generation of children.
For those people, Shen Chao, like many other famous time-travelers who later became famous, was he a real god in the world, or one of the few worthy of worship. Whenever innocent people are once again caught in a fierce conflict between the time-travelers, they pray that this god will appear and punish the other world-destroying time-travelers.
Although it is rarely fulfilled, people in despair are willing to believe in miracles. There are always people who believe that in the underworld, there is a powerful and compassionate alien among those greedy and cruel, ** never-ending traversers who are willing to protect them!
And what laid all these beliefs, and even beliefs, was just a simple move in front of Shen Chao leaving the main throne. That is to make his own identity public! In the first few minutes after he woke up, Shen Chao realized that he had to do this, and he was currently the only traverser who had the ability and confidence to do so. (To be continued......)
