Chapter 379: Cosmic Ruins
What exactly is the ruins of the universe, the question cannot be answered even by the Supreme Council. The question of where the ruins of the universe are located is also unanswerable.
The first people to discover the ruins of the universe were not the higher life forms that were high above, but some cosmic expeditions composed of different alien races full of endless curiosity.
While exploring the unknown universe, the team was inadvertently pulled into the subspace by a subspace rift, and encountered a subspace turbulence. When they were about to escape from the turbulence, they unexpectedly found that there was a magical space in the subspace turbulence that was always unaffected by the surrounding subspace turbulence, and they could also see a large number of various objects sucked into the subspace by the subspace rift into this space by the turbulence.
It's just that this team became curious about that space and wanted to explore it, but it was swept away by the subspace turbulence and taken to other places.
When the team returned to their base on the edge of the planet, and wrote a paper on what they saw and heard in the subspace, and published it in the journals of various advanced civilizations, many people who read this paper scoffed at the mysterious space of the so-called subspace turbulence, because even the hardest matter in the universe could not stay in the subspace turbulence for a long time, let alone a fragile space.
However, after that, others discovered the mysterious space that existed in the turbulence of the subspace, and the number of discoveries increased, which naturally attracted the attention of the Supreme Council.
After a period of time, the Supreme Council also announced the existence of a mysterious space in the turbulence of the subspace, and named the space Cosmic Ruins.
The reason for this name is that the Supreme Council found that this space seemed to have some kind of cosmic rules, capable of manipulating subspace turbulence to devour various characteristics of this cosmic civilization from the ruins of various civilizations in the universe, and then suck them into the space.
It's just that the strangest thing is that some ordinary objects can be easily sucked into the space, but when the powerful existence of the Supreme Council approaches that space, he finds that the space in front of him doesn't seem to exist, it's just an illusion, even if there is an object passing through him and entering that space, he still has a psionic spirit attached to that object, and he still can't feel the existence of that space. The object would disappear as soon as it entered space, and his psionic spirit was stripped directly from the object, leaving him in a subspace turbulence.
Therefore, the Supreme Council's understanding of this mysterious space has always been ignorant, and it can only be analyzed from the fact that it controls the turbulence of subspace to devour the ruins of the vanishing civilization, and names it the ruins of the universe.
Although for a period of time, this mysterious cosmic ruin in the subspace turbulence has attracted the attention of many advanced civilizations and powerful life forms, and everyone thinks that there may be some great secret hidden in it, but it has spent countless manpower and material resources to track down the mysterious space that wanders with the subspace turbulence, but in the end nothing has been found. This kind of result is not bad once or twice, but it is the same every time, no matter how rich the advanced civilization is, no matter how powerful the life form is, it will not be able to stand this kind of continuous failure, so the exploration of the ruins of the universe has risen for a while, and soon fell silent.
In Leo's time, almost no one would mention any cosmic ruins anymore, and even if they did, they only regarded it as a mysterious cosmic phenomenon, and more spaceships sailing in subspace even regarded it as a lucky thing to see cosmic ruins in the subspace turbulence, just like people in the age of obscurantism on the old earth saw meteor showers.
"How do you know it's the ruins of the universe?" asked Leo with curiosity.
Mia responded, "Because I came here from the ruins of the universe." ”
Speaking of this, Mia paused, raised her hand, and the surrounding walls all disappeared, turning into a scene outside the crystal spaceship, feeling like she was standing on an open-air platform, and then she said: "It's wonderful here, time, space, and laws are all chaotic, the only thing that will not change is death, no matter what kind of existence exists, it will decline step by step here, maybe there is a way to slow down the speed of death, and even make the death stop, but it is never possible to reverse the result of death." ”
I saw Mia raise her hand and point to a vague snow-capped mountain in the distance, and the scene in front of her was like entering a telescope state, and she instantly approached the vicinity of the snow-capped mountain, and at the same time saw the situation of the snow-capped mountain.
It's not appropriate to say that this is a snow-capped mountain, this is a huge city like a majestic mountain, but from the bottom it is completely covered with ice and snow, only the dome of the topmost building is exposed, and through the ice, you can also see some humanoids walking on the city streets, as if everything is frozen by ice and snow in an instant, even time is no exception.
In terms of grandeur alone, this ice-frozen city far surpassed the giant city on the island of Yam, and in terms of its beauty, it was no less beautiful than the city of the gods and kings, and it is conceivable that the people who built this city must have been extraordinary, at least like the ancient Ha giants and the gods of Arnorrond.
Mia pointed to the frozen giant city and said a word, but her voice was not like words, but like some kind of rhythmic whisper, and then she was heard explaining: "I just said the name of the city, in our words it means the city of glory, the people who dominate the city, or the world in which this city is located, are called the Glory Clan, and each of them is an omega-level higher life form, even the gods of Arnorlund cannot compare to it." But such a race, which can be called great in the universe, has been declining without resistance when it is coming to an end, and it has to use this extreme method of freezing to freeze the time of the race's decay. ”
When Leo heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and wondered: "Isn't it only the dying civilization that will be pulled here by the subspace turbulence......?
Without waiting for the question, Mia replied, "Didn't I say it, this is not our universe, this is the space of the cosmic ruins, whether it is Arnor Lund or this glorious family, they are all civilized worlds formed in the ruins of the universe." ”
Leo was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this the place where everything ends, and why is it possible to produce civilization and such a powerful race?"
"Whoever told you that the place where everything ends cannot give birth to civilization. Mia asked Leo rhetorically, and then asked herself: "Don't forget, the ruins of the universe contain the remains of all the dead civilizations in the universe, there are always some remains that will leave some embers of civilization, a small amount of embers of civilization will not have any effect, but once the embers of civilization increase and accumulate to a certain extent, then it will become the fire of civilization, and this dead and silent world will naturally produce a civilization until the flame is extinguished." ”
When Leo heard this, he suddenly thought of the world of Velon, and couldn't help but ask, "......Where is the last place where the survivors of the Guha Giant are located?"
"Not in the ruins of the universe," before Leo could finish speaking, Mia saw through his thoughts and replied, "It's the world of the Demon Nebula, not the ruins of the universe." But it's not much better than the ruins of the universe. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Leo asked, frowning.
It's just that Mia doesn't seem to want to say more about the Demon Nebula, ignoring Leo's questioning, changing the surrounding scene back to the way it was, and then said a little coldly: "I got some of the Atomic Code I wanted from you, and as a deal I also told you something you don't know, I believe it is enough to compensate you, if you have no other problems, then you can leave." ”
Leo could feel the change in Mia's attitude, and he could also feel that Mia now seemed to have transformed into a bionic intelligence, after a little silence, he turned around and walked out, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked: "I experienced something last time in the place where everything ended, but when I left, some of my memories disappeared, can you help me recover that memory?"
"No, you can't. Without even thinking about it, Mia shook her head and said, "It's impossible for me to recover a memory that doesn't exist. ”
"Non-existent memories?" Leo was stunned when he heard this.
Just as he was about to ask for more details, he saw Mia wave his hand at him, and the scene in front of him changed instantly, and he also moved from the intelligent hub room on the upper bridge to the outside of the crystal ship.
Although the last request did not get the desired result, Leo had already obtained enough information from Mia's answer, the memory he had returned to the world of Veron from the Great Library did not exist in his brain, so there were only two possibilities, one was that the external force completely erased his memory, and the other was that the memory did not belong to him.
Compared to the first external force to erase his memory, Leo felt that the second possibility might be greater, after all, no matter how powerful the existence was, erasing his memory would always leave some traces, and even hurt his mental consciousness, but his mental consciousness was not damaged at all, so it can be seen that the first one may almost non-existent.
As for the second possibility, it is even greater, such as his body being occupied and controlled. At that time, there were a lot of various powers in his body, from the unspeakable existence behind the bloodline, to the nightmare power of the night god, etc., all of which far exceeded his strength at that time, and it was not difficult to be controlled by the power in reverse, so he didn't have that memory.
However, neither of these possibilities is a good thing for Leo, because it means that there is a powerful being who can fully control him at any time, which is no different from when he was implanted with emergency control when he was a cyborg.
Although this feeling of being controlled by others made Leo feel very uncomfortable, fortunately, the cyborg had become accustomed to this state for many years, and his mentality was able to quickly adjust and stop thinking about it. After all, he knows too few clues now, and no matter how much he thinks about it, he can't find a solution, but it will only increase his troubles, so it is better to wait for the situation to appear again, carefully observe the situation, and maybe be able to find some useful clues.
Leo cleaned up his mood for a while, and quickly sorted out the harvest, I have to say that this time the harvest is still very big, and some mysteries in his heart have been solved, but there are still some mysteries that have not been answered, if possible, he also wants to ask this bionic intelligence that has begun to evolve again, and completely solve these mysteries related to the Wycombe Abbey people and the world of Velon.
It's just that he knows better that even if he tries to return to the intelligence center room, I'm afraid he won't be able to get a useful answer from Mia, because judging from Mia's reaction just now, the demon nebula seems to be some kind of taboo or something, just mentioning it made Mia change her mood and send him out of the center room directly.
After thinking about it, Leo didn't spend any time stopping here, and moved towards the jungle where the heart of the tree was most likely to grow, according to the location in his memory.
Now Leo's mind not only has the map provided by the fire defense girl, but also the three-dimensional map provided by Mia, and the three-dimensional map provided by Mita is more detailed, and even marks the danger level of each place in the small garden and the psionic creatures entrenched here, and the countermeasures are also marked as hints in the additional content, making Leo in this dangerous place really as easy as visiting his own back garden.
In less than two hours, he was out of the jungle, but instead of going any further, he walked back and forth from outside the forest, searching everywhere as if he were looking for something.
The heart of the tree is not something that can only grow from a specific plant, as long as it is a tree, it is possible to grow the heart of the tree, the only difference is the strength of the effect of the heart of the tree.
The jungle that Leo found was the most luxuriant, tallest jungle of trees in the small garden he could see, these trees looked more like pine needle trees, but they were dozens or hundreds of times taller than pine needle trees, and in the middle of such a vigorous tree jungle, there was a tree that grew extremely short.
According to Leo's information provided by the fire defense woman, the growth of the heart of the tree requires a lot of nutrients, so the tree with the heart of the tree must pass on most of the nutrients taken by the body to the heart of the tree, and the tree itself must not grow very tall, which is very consistent with the situation of the small woodland in this jungle that is somewhat abrupt.
So Leo judged that there must be one or more tree centers growing in the small woodland.
However, it is not easy to enter this woodland, because this tree that looks like a pine needle tree magnified many times has another name, called the War Ancient Tree.
The tree itself has a strong sense of aggression, and will attack any trespasser, and the only thing that can avoid attack is a companion beast, which can eat the parasitic vines at the roots of the ancient war tree, and the dung can also help the ancient war tree grow, and it is the skin of this beast that Leo is looking for now.
