Chapter Seventy-Five: Guess What Blew Up?

In view of the fact that the gap in the void on the "Walled Garden" needed to be entered through psionic energy, Li Wenyuan used the psionic crystal he had obtained from the "Jade Mausoleum" to this place.

Not only is this thing a recorder, but it also opens up a small space that leads to the Shroud, where you might be able to enter a hidden place.

Since he didn't bring a synth, he simply asked Grey Wind to activate this psionic crystal, and as for the energy required to activate the psionic crystal, it came from his scientific research spaceship.

As he expected, after the psionic crystal was activated, a crack appeared in the hollow of the forest, and the purple gas of clouds wafted inside, and at first glance it seemed to be in the interior of the virtual realm.

But after actually entering, I came to a normal world, as if everything I saw from the outside before was fake.

It resembles a courtyard with a striking monumental obelisk in the center, as well as a circle of sculptures surrounding it.

This seemingly monumental building naturally attracted Li Wenyuan's attention, just like the pyramid on the "Jade Mausoleum", this obelisk seems to be the handiwork of human beings.

And the result did not surprise him, and the moment he saw the obelisk, the database reacted to it.

【Psionic Beacon】

[Introduction: Jumping through the Void is a dangerous act, and we have to build a beacon in the rift to prevent our ship from getting lost in the Void.]

[New technologies have been added to the Tech Tree]

Li Wenyuan, who hadn't seen this string of pleasing words for a long time, opened the technology tree interface with great interest, and then saw a special technology.

【Break into the Void】

[Technology Level: 5]

[Introduction: With the help of the guidance of the psionic beacon, we can take the initiative to enter the virtual realm and try to communicate with those ancient beings.] We may be able to reap the benefits of this, but correspondingly, we need to be prepared to bear the cost.

[Special Note: We need a "Psionic Beacon" and the Breach of the Shroud.] If there are no rifts in the Void around us, we can only force our way into the Void by building the Psionic Beacon into a megastructure and using great force."

"Now there is a way to truly enter the Void Realm?" Li Wenyuan was quite interested in this.

Although that psionic crystal can also enter the Void Realm, it may not really enter the Void Realm, after all, that space is too narrow, more like an inconspicuous corner of the Void Realm.

"Is it possible for me to see the 'end of reincarnation'?" He remembered the guy who blew himself around the world for a while, and he still hadn't been able to completely repair this part of the world.

"You can go in and have a look......" He was already planning where to build the psionic beacon, but Grey Wind spoke again to catch his attention.

"There's a man there, judging by his appearance, who seems to be the main race of the 'Watchmen'......" Grey Wind was still holding the psionic crystal, but his eyes were already fixed on Zachlan in front of the obelisk.

At this time, Zachlan didn't notice that there was an uninvited guest here, and he was still immersed in sadness, holding on to the obelisk and sighing.

And Li Wenyuan noticed that there was still a person here, but then he found that this person was a little familiar.

After rummaging through the database for a while, he found the corresponding name in the "Idealistic World Celebrity".

"Zachlan, the prophet of the Lost Empire of the 'Watchmen', and the prophet of all idealistic civilizations. Ranked first in the book "The 100 Most Influential Intelligent Beings in the Galaxy". ”

He glanced at the book when he was bored, and unexpectedly found it to be quite good.

One of them even has a giant fungus that was selected because his body tissues can improve cell vitality and prolong lifespan, and after analysis and mass production, it has become a must-have consumer product for the middle and low-level people of many civilizations in the galaxy.

However, the fungal life was dead, and the cause of death was an autopsy. Scientists who studied him did not find him to be a sapient creature when they dismantled his body tissues.

Scientists realized what they had done when the fungal life was written with spores, but by this time the fungal life had completely lost its intelligence characteristics.

And after that row of words was interpreted, it was probably some kind of words with a high content of insulting words.

But even so, this group of scientists strongly recommended this fungal life, and it was successfully selected into the book "The 100 Most Influential Intelligent Creatures in the Galaxy".

The topic was far away, and after Li Wenyuan confirmed that the person in front of the obelisk was Zachlan, he prepared to communicate with Gray Wind on his behalf.

There should be a reason why this "runaway prophet" appeared here, after all, he had heard a lot about Zachlan's deeds, and the celebrities in this lost empire should know a lot of things.

Maybe he'd be able to hear something that might be related to humanity?

However, before Grey Wind could speak, Zachlan, who was in a sad mood, felt that there was a particularly "uncomfortable" aura in this place.

Although his psionic power is weak, he does have psionic energy, and something like metal, which is incompatible with this environment, still touches his psionic reaction.

He snapped back to his senses, looked at the intruder alertly, and then looked incredulous.

"Are you...... Robot? No, how can a robot get in here...... But you're a robot, huh? "Zachland's psionic sensing has revealed that the humanoid creature is made up of countless tiny nanomachines, but nanobots are robots too.

At this moment, the psychic common sense that he had been taught since birth collapsed.

He is unable to understand how robots that are considered to never have true "consciousness" in an idealistic society can travel through the imaginary space, which completely subverts his perception that "consciousness determines psionic energy".

However, Gray Wind did not answer his question, but faithfully carried out Li Wenyuan's request:

"It doesn't matter, it's why you're here. It doesn't seem to be a place that is always open, so why did you, the runaway 'prophet', come here? Didn't you say to seek God's chosen people? ”

Zachlan, who was still in shock, calmed down a little, and saw that this mechanical creature did not make any threatening moves, so he calmed down and said in a fixed voice:

“…… This is the Holy Land, and one of the places where we originated, and I have come here to see the oracles left by the Apocalypse and to find a way to save the people...... Now that I've answered your question, can you also answer my questions? ”

Gray Wind, who heard Zachlan's words, glanced at the scientific research spacecraft in the sky, and soon got a message from Li Wenyuan, so he said directly:

"I know what you're asking, I entered here with a psionic crystal...... By the way, this psionic crystal was taken from your 'Emerald Tomb'. ”

I thought that Zachlan would have a reaction of anger or something after learning about this, but I didn't expect him to say as if relieved:

"I see...... The oracle says that someday someone will take the crystal, and since you can take it, there's no problem getting here......"

Listening to this Crane's self-talking, comforting words, Li Wenyuan caught one of the key words.

"Oracle? Could this be a message left by humans? After thinking about it, he let Grey Wind continue to ask:

"Tell me about the oracle? I'm also interested in the Apocalypse......"

"The oracle is on this obelisk, and if you are the one chosen by the Apocalypse, you will surely understand the meaning of the oracle......"

As he spoke, Zachlan stepped aside from the obelisk and continued to tell the contents of the oracle that they had parsed.

And Li Wenyuan's scientific research spaceship and Gray Wind also came to the obelisk, and quickly saw what the "oracle" on it was.

Grey Wind has been influenced by the "enlightenment readings" left by humans, and knows what human words are.

Not to mention Li Wenyuan, he is very sure that the so-called "oracle" is in Chinese.

However, since the content of this oracle was too different from the statement in Zachlan's mouth, Gray Wind couldn't hold back his laughter for a while, and laughed directly.

The "oracle" engraved on the obelisk reads:

[Gan, the old things in your ancestors' virtual realm, disgusting our spaceship is very skilled, right? After the road is repaired, let's see if we can block your house! 】

[——Advance construction team stays]

It was such a cathartic phrase that was misinterpreted in Zachland's mouth as a great story of redemption and sacrifice, and their "watchmen" were the great civilization that inherited the spiritual legacy of the "apocalypse" who left this oracle.

“…… Well, well, an unexpectedly great story indeed. After all, Li Wenyuan didn't let Gray Wind correct their wrong interpretation.

Zachlan also looked happy, as if proud of his racial identity.

But then, his eyes dimmed again, and he said very embarrassed:

“…… But who knows, after a long time, our purpose has been distorted from following the Apocalypse to what it is now? ”

"Huh? Is there any saying here? Grey Wind asked curiously, listening to Zachran's tone, they did seem to have something to do with "humans"? And this is also what Li Wenyuan is curious about.

“…… It's just a trifle. We can't even remember our origins, but with the help of psionic energy backtracking, we can barely see who we once were. ”

"At that time, we were still a group of wild animals who couldn't think, but with the help of the 'Apocalypse' who couldn't see clearly, we touched the starry sky."

"After that, it was a long blank slate, and then it was a direct transition to where we are now."

"After a series of explorations, we firmly believe that the 'Apocalypse' should have left this galaxy."

"The Walled Garden, a place with the remains of the Apocalypse, has also been designated as a sacred place. There was once a sage who tried to replicate the miracle of the 'Apocalypse' who enlightened all things here, but he failed. ”

"His body melts into this planet, and it stimulates psionic potential for all the animals here, but it's far from making them sapient......"

Through Zachlan's narration, Li Wenyuan got a new message.

That is, the "watchmen" seem to have been in contact with humans in ancient times, and as for that blank history, it may be the result of humanity's handling of the unknown "threat".

After all, he doesn't understand what his "guardianship matrix" is now.

“…… Since the 'Watchmen', one of the Lost Empires, have such a connection, will there be a similar situation in other Lost Empires? ”

Li Wenyuan couldn't help but have such doubts in his heart, but before he could think about it, he suddenly found that Zachlan's face turned pale, as if he sensed something terrible.

"What's wrong with you?" Grey Wind noticed the situation as well, and asked.

And Zachlan said with difficulty: "...... I think we should get out of here, there's something not so good, blow up-"

Rewind to a few minutes ago, near the Watcher's third Holy Land planet, the Pure Jewel.

There is a magical atomic clock on this holy planet that was discovered by a group of people early on, and it is constantly counting down.

They thought it was something that the "watchmen" had left here and didn't pay much attention to it.

As for the "watchmen" themselves, they don't care about this little atomic clock, as long as they don't colonize the Holy Land planet, defile the sanctity here, and make a mess of it.

But they may not have considered the fact that this atomic clock is a "bomb" that can destroy the planet.

Or rather, they don't think anyone dares to challenge their majesty with a bomb.

So after the countdown of the atomic clock ended, it blew up—

And the materialistic lost empire of the "Far Travelers" also received a signal from the atomic clock at the last second, and one of their scientists nodded with satisfaction:

"Yes, our 'clock bomb' is accurate to every nanosecond, exactly forty-two years and three days. How will this group of stupid idealists react, and will their 'gods' be able to find out the real culprit? Let's wait and see! ”
