"Readily agreed, of course."

Ian wouldn't—there's no way he's going to refuse an Shroud Machine God of the 'Final Line' to help him protect the Shroud.

With the light on it, it felt like he was sleepy and touched the pillow, and what he was thinking about when he saw the countless white virtual realm gods wrapped around the body of the 'True Demon' in the Light Realm.

- This may be the greatest legacy left by the pre-era civilization to the Terra era.

Yes, the biggest legacy.

Ian knew exactly what Terra would have become without the Mekkai.

The calamities and sufferings precipitated by the Lost Era, the resentment and hatred caused by sacrifice and death will dissipate with the souls of the deceased, turning into the black mud of the abyss of the Void Realm, and then little by little, little by little, the prototype of the demon will be shaped, and the 'Terra Abyss of Shadows' will be created, creating a demon that belongs to all Terra.

Even, in those abyssal galaxies, countless demons gather and create their own 'demon kings'......

Or 'evil gods'.

What the star gods have endowed all beings with is essentia and spiritual energy, ether and future, endless love and possibility. Even if a civilization is destroyed and turned into ashes, there will still be demons reborn from the shadows, and that is the last 'successor' of a civilization.

Neither death nor destruction is the end, in a sense, demons and evil spirits are also products of love.

But the vast majority of ignorant mortals cannot withstand this kind of love.

Terra has already died once, and in theory, demons should be born. Although the Terrans have struggled to crawl out of Hell, that doesn't mean the demons will fall back into the shadows.

They were supposed to wreak havoc, but it was the Void Realm Gods left by the civilization of the previous era that removed all the seeds and traces left by the demons, allowing the kingdoms of the Terra Era to grow smoothly until now.

The Void Machine God is the 'guardian' that all civilizations in the etheric universe that have penetrated the path of sublimation must create. As long as the Guardians are still around, then civilization will not have to worry about the birth of demons, and they will not be able to influence the thoughts of all beings, so that civilization will gradually degenerate and become a breeding ground for shadows.

It's just that Guardians have limits.

If a full-scale war breaks out in Terra, and the people of the Terra Era, whose population has swelled, die in large numbers in a short period of time, the fall of the soul will distort the Void and directly create an abyss - and now, the Void Machine God, which has been severely damaged and no longer has full strength, will not be able to stop the invasion of demons, and the Terra civilization will be completely degraded in the flames of war.

into the ruins he prophesied.

【TerraShroud Security Center will protect everyone's hearts】

And in the mouth of the Fairy Empress, the eyes of the 'Final Line' flickered, and then she took a step, turned into a light and shadow, and disappeared, or rather, merged into the virtual realm.

Then, in this realm, countless rays of light condensed a large number of strange shapes, similar to spheres, triangles, cones, diamonds, quadrangles and other forms of the void mechs—they poured out of nothingness, and seemed to pour out directly from the void, and then flew to every part of the Silver Peak Territory.

Ian watched as the Void Gods glowed with a white glow, flowing through the sky and earth like rivers of light floating in the sky.

He didn't do anything, but instead aroused the interest of the Fairy Empress: [I thought you would be subconsciously stunned, or stop it—you are so relieved of the final line of defense? You know, with your permission, he will go directly into the depths of the Void Realm in your territory, and the authority is so high that it will be difficult for me to completely delete it! 】

"It's nothing more than the process of unzipping and installing the security software, what's so surprising."

But Ian replied in a tone that seemed to be accustomed to it: "Security software, it must have high permissions, otherwise how can you kill the demon and get rid of the curse?" Although I have some concerns, the pre-era civilization should be a civilization without junk rogue software, and even if there is, it is better to have a rogue leader to help watch the house than for Adalbert and I to do the work ourselves. ”

"Rogue software?" Adbert was a little puzzled, and the fairy queen was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: [If I didn't know that you weren't, I really thought you were a pre-era civilization!] Haha, rogue software, I really miss that era, although it developed savagely, it was also vibrant]

[I also specially designed that line, how about it, isn't it interesting?] 】

"It's so much fun."

Ian knew that the line that the other party said was the classic line of [readily agree/ruthlessly refuse], but because of Taidian, he was relieved, and he shook his head with a smile: "Your Majesty, you said that you are the creator of the final line of defense...... Is it true that my original speculation about the Shvarade Mekhans, that is, that they were some kind of artificial goblins? ”

[Hmm, but not particularly accurate]

The Fairy Empress simply admitted: [The goblin is the ultimate line of defense of the planet's nature, and the Void Machine God is the ultimate line of defense of the Void Realm - if we don't create it, the original form of the Void Machine God will also be born naturally, that is, the so-called 'Angel', 'Holy Spirit', 'Dream Fairy' or 'God' and other natural Void Realm creatures]

[During the period after the Federation encountered the fall from the sky, weren't there many alien fire gods descending? Some of them, or rather, a considerable part, are the 'Race Gods' created by their collective subconscious and the 'God Body' created by the fire, which is also a way]

[However, Terra suffered the first Skyfall, and our collective subconscious all knew the Heavenly Father, so it was difficult to give birth to the 'Race God'. Heavenly Father was very distressed by this at the beginning, although they guarded civilization, but basically will not appear, once it appears, it will lead to cognitive tilt, intelligent life after knowing that there are other higher intelligent beings above themselves, it is difficult to believe that 'they are the unique protagonist of this universe', and then they worship themselves and give birth to racial gods.

[Because of the Thousand Stars Beast and the Heavenly Father, it is difficult for humans to have their own 'Human God', so they can only retreat and create a 'Artificial Machine God' with weaker guardian ability]

[Compared to the 'human gods' who will wholeheartedly protect all humans and maintain the survival of all humans, the Void Machine God can only act according to fixed procedures and has no judgment of his own, but the advantage is that everything is in his own hands]

"Fairies are nature's last line of defense?"

Ian was thoughtful, and he whispered to himself, "I see, Angel Holy Spirit, Dream Demon Deity...... The Void Realm Machine God is indeed a righteous path. ”

"If the negative emotions of civilization accumulate too much, demons will be born, and a civilization that is interested in the development of the virtual realm must have guardians."

"The most natural guardian is the race god, or the angel and spirit shaped by various 'positive emotions', and creating the virtual realm machine god by himself can be regarded as a more technological product."

At the heart of the ether universe lies intelligent life.

The star god changed the entire universe and made the entire universe exist for the sake of intelligent life.

Racial gods, light angels and the like, just like demons, are probably the natural survival system created by the star gods, a kind of natural law created by the star gods.

"How do you create a Shimmer Mekhan?" Raising his head, Ian finally asked the question he really wanted to ask: "Or what is the difference between the current Terra civilization and the Shroud?" Why was it that the Empress was able to create the ultimate line of defense, but now even her communication system cannot be repaired? ”

[That's why I long for the Light Realm]

The Fairy Empress also replied seriously: [The birth of the goblin is the extremely accidental fluctuation and condensation of natural spiritual energy, and it is the result of the fluctuations created by all creatures in the planet's nature, and the Void Machine God also needs the fluctuation of the Void Spiritual Energy, and the peak requirements are extremely high]

[This technique, if you want, I can teach you now, but it's still easier in Falling Star City]

[To put it simply, the creation of the machine god requires an environment that is extremely stable when it is stable and extremely high-energy when it fluctuates.] We rely on this fluctuation to inscribe consciousness into the Void and create the Mekhan...... If you want to meet this condition, you must at least unify the world, and the people must live and work in peace and contentment for more than ten years, in order to create a machine god in the most peaceful and happy virtual realm - not a second in the 1,600 years after the fall of Terra is to meet this condition, and it is only possible for you, the Silver Peak Leader, but it will have to persist for another seven or eight years]

[But the Light Realm meets this condition at any time. It's just that the part of the small light realm that our goblins have mastered has been used by me to make the light element furnace...... As you said, the machine god is a kind of man-made dream goblin, only more powerful, but also more rigid, as long as it is slightly transformed, the power of the light world can also accelerate the birth of goblins]

[In order to restore the number of goblins, I made a selfish decision. But I don't think this needs to be apologized, because we goblins deserve it! 】

The Fairy Empress didn't hesitate in the slightest, and Ian nodded approvingly: "The machine god can be built slowly in the future, but this world will definitely get worse if there are no goblins." ”

Not to mention that the elves had exterminated the Terra five times in order to save them, just because they were so cute and straightforward that they could make the Terrans imagine themselves as happy as the elves, and as a banner guide, it was enough for Ian to agree with what the Empress said.

The goblins deserve it.

[Are you going to go to Falling Star City now?] The elves have always been straightforward, and after seeing Ian begin to explain the follow-up work to Adalbert, the Empress knew that Ian was planning to go, and she smiled and said, "We can first go to the depths of the Void Realm to see the results of the work of the 'Final Line of Defense', and you also have to understand how the Light Realm accelerates the birth of the Void Machine God]

"Yes."

Ian agreed to the Elven Queen's suggestion, and together they dived deeper into the Shroud, where Ian himself was connected to the 'Light Realm'.

The final line of defense is easy to find, and it is a giant silver vortex in the Light Realm, which reminds Ian of the 'Silver Sky Gate' in the City of Learning...... Considering that the race behind the Silver Sky Gate is also a goblin line, it may not be difficult to understand the similarity of technology.

In the whirlpool, there are countless complex inscriptions that are converging and combining to build a large number of crystal-like structures, and these huge crystal clusters vaguely create a three-dimensional 'door' at the core of the whirlpool, and under the guidance of the inscriptions, like 3D printing, a simple psionic geometry is constructed in the door.

That's the prototype of the Void Mekhan.

As the fluctuations of the high-energy psionic energy in the light realm fluctuated, the power of the vortex also continued to rise and fall, and with this as the driving force, the 'program' that led to the depths of the shroud was engraved in this psionic entity...... In a short time, only five minutes, a Void Machine God was created.

After it was born, it swam directly towards the surface of the Shret, and Ian could tell that its target was the Silver Peak Realm.

It will devour the curses in the Silver Peak Realm and grow, absorb the happiness and joy in it, and eventually continue to transform, merge with its kind, evolve, and then split and multiply. This is the ecology of the Void Realm Machine God.

[The most basic 'white blood cells'] The fairy queen said softly: [Next is 'immunity' and 'artificial vaccine'. And then it's not prevention, it's the destroyer and destroyer, and the final 'final line of defense']

[In the Light Realm, it takes five minutes to give birth to a white blood cell.] But in the natural realm, this time, it may be five months]

[Thanks to you, Ian, if it weren't for the Arcane Path, the World War would continue, and the speed of the reproduction of the Void Machine God would not be comparable to the speed of human self-destruction, and at that time, even I am afraid that I would only be able to shelter a corner of Falling Star City]

“…… Why is it so slow? ”

It was also the first time that Ian had seen the Void Machine God 'create' his own kind, instead of multiplying and splitting, and after hearing the Empress's emotion, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "And I was a little strange just now...... Fairies must be spontaneous, right? The same is true of the birch and frost butterflies I know, and with the acceleration of the light element furnace, the number of goblins should not be too small now......"

Ian, and the Fairy Empress looked at Ian calmly. The prophet of Silver Peak could see that the Fairy Empress's eyes revealed a sorrow that was incomprehensible to mortals.

Although it was only for a moment, Ian did see this trace of sorrow, and then, he heard the empress slowly tell the truth: [Fairies, are the life of the free world]

[Because it was born by chance, you can also choose to die after birth - no meaning, no constraints, goblins are so free]

[So...... Fairies can choose to die on their own]

[If it is a peaceful and happy world, an interesting and lively world, the goblins have not lived for one life, they will naturally live for the second life, they will always choose to live, always live, so that no matter how small the probability is, no matter how small, no matter how small, the number of goblins will usher in an explosive growth, just like the civilization of the previous era, I can be pushed to the position of speaker by the goblins, and even there are sixty goblins in a hundred astronauts]

[But what if...... The world is the same as the Terra before it]

[Ian, an unhappy child, can naturally choose...... Refusal to be born again in this world]

Ian nodded silently.

He can ...... As Fairy's 'Fairy Ian', he understands this choice.

It's like, if the current 'Ian' is disappointed and completely disappointed in everything, he can also choose to close the guiding star, completely destroy the reincarnation ring he created, and completely let 'Ian' die.

However, both he and the Fairy Empress will choose to live.

That's why they, who are free, still choose to be born.

[Then I'll go back to Falling Star City first]

Not long after, the Fairy Empress left the Silver Peak Realm along with the final line of defense that had once again condensed the battle entity.

In the end, the line of defense has created a lair in the Silver Peak Territory - Light Realm, and he can teleport to the lair at any time through the Shred trait to protect the Silver Peak Territory and the Light Realm, and the Fairy Empress is the same, so she went back first after knowing that Ian still had some things to do to prepare for teaching Ian the technique.

And Ian, in addition to explaining his work to Adalbert, does have an important thing to do.

"I'm sorry, Adalbert."

Ian whispered to his old buddy, "But sometimes, you really can't give up some power that you can use. ”

"I understand." And Adbert also sighed softly, and then raised his head with a determined gaze: "I will witness." ”

"Hmm."

After pacifying Adalbert, Ian looked around the realm and exclaimed, "Come out, Split Thorrin!" The Dead King of Souls! ”

"Since you can create hell, come and help me build it!"

Silent.

There was a long silence.

Then, in the gray silence, in the dim hum, in the light of death, a shadow emerged from the depths of the Void, behind which was the light of crimson lava, like hell.

A hoarse and tired voice sounded: "You're right, I can create hell]

[However, the place you want to build is not heaven at all, but a dollhouse that belongs to you alone, in the palm of your hand]

With that, the figure of the fifth-level powerhouse, the Dead King, the Grand Duke of Hell, Split Thorin, appeared in front of Ian and the solemn Adalbert.

The silver-haired man smiled a little sarcastically, but instead of laughing at Ian, he mocked himself: [But, I think]

[There may be many people who are willing to be your toy]

[This is the difference between you and me]
