437. "1" is the limit

The Angel of the Book and Li Nuo recounted their experiences before the establishment of the Supreme Star Palace.

This takes place at the end of the 299th Plane Year.

At that time, the core of the plane that held the sacred flame was "Eternal Night".

"Eternal night" can be understood as "eternal night", and the key to this sentence lies in the words "forever" and "being".

The word "forever" means that the phenomenon of "night" cannot be completely eliminated.

There may be no "night" phenomenon on a dazzling star, or a high-speed, shiny neutron star.

But with the exception of this special celestial body, which is itself a constant source of light, "night" can occur everywhere else.

As small as the inside of a person's clothes that cannot be illuminated by the sun, or as large as the shadow of a towering ancient tree, these scenes that seem to have nothing to do with "night" are also related to "eternal night".

Because, when we look at the darkness inside the clothing from the perspective of a bug, that dark area is equivalent to a kind of "night".

"Night", or "darkness", can never be eliminated, which is the first characteristic of the core of the "Eternal Night" plane.

Its second characteristic is that it does not deny the existence of "light".

In the phrase "there is always night", the word "exists" refers to "the night can exist or it may not exist, but there will always be a time when it exists".

One morning, the sun rises and the sun shines on the earth, and at this time, the night is gone, and the world ushers in the day.

But as time passed, night fell, and darkness embraced all living things.

If the "forever" in the phrase "forever in the night" determines that the phenomenon of "night" cannot be completely erased, then the word "existence" determines the temporal nature of the phenomenon of "night".

Unless time does not exist, the "night" will come.

It can be seen that although the name of the core of the "Eternal Night" plane sounds a bit elegant, its abilities are truly powerful and amazing.

Time cannot erase it, nor can spatial transformation erase its effects.

According to the Angel of the Book, He was the last angel to join the House of the Most High Star.

Before joining the House of the Most High Star, the planet he lived on was barren and peaceful at the junction of the alien sky and the desolate universe.

It is precisely because the resources on the planet are sparse and ordinary and not worthy of the nuclear invasion of the "Eternal Night" plane, that the planet did not welcome an extraordinary army under the core command of the "Eternal Night" plane until the end of the 299th plane year.

It was an extraordinary army that leapt quickly through the shadows of space.

They have no specific form or appearance, and each member is a light black phantom with little to no mass on the body.

This is the "Night Spirit" created by the core of the "Eternal Night" plane.

The Night Spirit is powerful in three ways.

The first is to use the ubiquitous shadows of the universe to make rapid, long-distance, uninterrupted jumps.

The second is to attack the enemy with pure darkness.

Third, the corpses they leave behind after death will evolve into an undispellable darkness that stays in place.

Compared to the first two perks, the third perk of the Night Spirit is the most insidious.

The more Night Spirits die on the battlefield, the wider the dark zone left by the Night Spirit's corpses, and the greater the combat advantage of the Night Spirit who arrives later.

This combat mode, in which the more sacrifices you make, the stronger your own strength becomes, has helped the core of the "Eternal Night" plane conquer almost the entire alien sky.

In Lino's memory, there was only the content of the planet of the Book Angels before it was invaded by the Night Spirits.

He had no memory of the Night Spirit's invasion.

However, the angel of the scroll remembers it very clearly.

One morning, it was discovered that the morning light, which should have pierced the night, had not appeared, and the darkness was so thick that it could not be dissolved.

This phenomenon continued day after day, and chaos grew rapidly in the city, and sin and misery spread everywhere.

It was during this time that the Angel of Books discovered his awakening to the ability to deconstruct.

He used this ability to protect his family and lead them to escape from the city and hide in the mountains and forests.

The escape was not smooth.

They were confronted by the insidious and cunning spirits of the night.

Relying on the ability to actively deconstruct, the Book Angel can always detect the night spirits lurking in the shadows in advance.

But no matter how careful he was, the unexpected happened.

"I remember there were more than a dozen Night Spirits on the scene. They stuck me and my family in a van. ”

The angel of the scroll recalled:

"The Night Spirit didn't attack us right away. They sent a Night Spirit who had mastered our language to speak to me, to the effect that they had taken a fancy to my abilities and invited me to join them. ”

Li Nuo couldn't help but interject and asked:

"Night Spirit has discovered your ability to deconstruct?"

The angel of the scroll shook his head:

"Nope. They misunderstood. They thought I had some extraordinary ability to predict future emergencies in the short term, and that's why they invited me. In fact, my family thought I had the ability to predict the future. But what they didn't know was that what I had in mind was the ability to deconstruct. ”

Li Nuo bowed his head silently and motioned for the other party to continue.

The angel of the scroll said,

"I didn't agree to join the Night Spirits, despite the fact that they showed importance for me. The Night Spirits who surrounded us did not come up with other excuses to convince me, but chose to attack. It was then that the star god appeared. Oh, by the way, the star god at that time was not a star god, and the title of star god came after the establishment of the Supreme Star Palace. When it came time to help me and my family out of the siege, the Star God was just a humanoid creature with powerful and extraordinary abilities. ”

As he spoke, the angel of the scroll used white mist to construct a three-dimensional image to restore the image of the star god at that time.

It is a humanoid creature about two meters and a half tall, with limbs and a brain, and its body is about the same size as a normal human.

Compared to ordinary people, he is different in the color of his skin and the diamond-shaped crystal on his forehead.

The angel of the scroll says:

"The original name of the star god was Giognax, and he came from the Befata system, which is also located at the junction of the alien sky and the wilderness. The people of Befata who live in the Bayetta system have white paint-like skin. The diamond-shaped crystals on their foreheads are exposed cerebral cortex, which helps them dissipate heat from their brains when they think quickly.

"The thinking and computing skills and technological level of the people of Befata are much higher than those of my planet at that time. At that time, they could already drive spaceships to shuttle through the universe.

"According to the Star God, their planet had been fighting the Night Spirits for half a year before they came to my aid. Upon discovering that the Night Spirits had invaded my planet, they immediately sent a fleet to support or pick up the survivors to preserve the spark of our civilization. ”

The angel of the scroll paused, chuckled, and said:

"Guess what energy the Bayita fleet that came to rescue me and my family used to deal with the Night Spirits?"

Li Nuo thought for a moment and tried to ask:

"Is it pure light energy?"

"Well, you guessed it right." The angel of the scroll says:

"When the Star God came to my rescue, he was only 8 years old, yes, 8 years old, which is an age that would be defined as a minor in any humanoid race. And his position in the Befata Starfleet is that of the captain of the fleet. He was able to achieve such an achievement at such a young age because he used his ability to travel through time and space to return to an era when the "Pure Light" mastered the Holy Flame, and invited the core of the "Pure Light" plane as his help. ”

The angel of the scroll said,

"The Star God has handed over the pure light energy he has mastered from the past time and space to the Befata Federation, and has always firmly controlled the output of this energy. In the entire Buffetta Federation, he is the only one who can produce pure light energy.

"However, as you know, human ambition and greed are never restrained. When the Befata Federation faced external enemies, there were constant internal disputes because the Star God controlled the pure light energy and was unwilling to hand over the source of energy.

"After a series of internal divisions and strife, the star god was finally forced to flee. After picking us up, the Star God ordered a jump away from the Befata Federation. He has since left the Federation of Bayfata. ”

The angel of the scroll paused, and then changed his words and said:

"After that, it's a long story, I will talk to you for ten days and half a month before I can explain the matter of the Star God leading us to establish the Supreme Star Palace, and this part of the content is not the point."

The Angel of the Book said:

"The real point is that each of the Dimensional Cores, after mastering the Holy Fire, will develop a way to distinguish the eternal mystery outside the universe. During the period of the Supreme Star Palace, in order to prevent the universe from being mixed into the Star Palace, the Star God developed a test method that used itself as an anchor point. Suppose a god or angel is suspected of being the eternal god of the universe. The star god will personally take action, shuttle to the other party's past time and space, and carefully search for clues that the other party was devoured by the universe forever. ”

Li Nuo nodded thoughtfully and echoed:

"Sounds like a good idea. The ability of the star god is really useful. Not only can it be used to replicate gods, but it can also be traced back to the source and investigate the past. No wonder you recognize His dominance. ”

"Yes, but there's one thing I haven't really understood." The tone of the scroll angel became a little erratic, as if he remembered something.

Li Nuo writes:

"What do you not understand?"

The angel of the scroll responded:

"I don't know why the Star God suddenly changed his mind and wanted to take the initiative to hand over the Holy Flame to Uswai Yongsu."

"Well, that's really puzzling." Li Nuo groaned, and suddenly his mind opened:

"Oh, that's right. Could it be that the Star God traveled through the past and saw the process of the birth of the Holy Flame? ”

The angel of the scroll did not reply immediately, but fell into deep thought.

After nearly half a minute, he said:

"When the Supreme Star Palace was established, all the members, including me, witnessed the process of the Star God unleashing the ability to shuttle to the Holy Flame. Just as as he traveled to the past of other individual beings, the body of the star god disappeared from our time and space. In the past, when he launched the crossing, he would only disappear for less than a second, but it took half an hour before he appeared in front of us, and he had an incredible look on his face. He said he was completely unable to trace the source of the flame. Because no matter how long He traveled to the past, the flame was always there. ”

Li Nuo frowned, a little incomprehensible, and asked:

"Does the star god know how long ago he traveled that time? Or rather, how does He determine the year after His crossing in the process of traveling? ”

The angel of the scroll said,

"The Star God once told us that when He crossed over, a string of numbers appeared in his mind. This line of numbers is regarded by the stars as the year of the universe. He traveled back to last year, and the number would be reduced by one. In order to follow the thoughts of the Holy Fire, he traveled to the year when the string of numbers became '1', but he still saw the Holy Fire. ”

Li Nuo writes:

"Then why don't you go back another year and see what happens when the number goes to zero or even becomes negative."

The angel of the scroll shook his head:

"It's not that the star god doesn't want to, it's that he can't do it. At most, He could travel back to the year with the numeric number '1'. That's his limit. ”

Li Nuo had nothing to say.

The scene was deserted for a while.

After a short while, the angel of the scroll said:

"During the time you were away, I tried to deconstruct the Holy Flame with the ability to actively deconstruct."

"Oh? Are there any results? Li Nuo asked curiously.

The angel of the scroll shook his head regretfully:

"I'll transmit the results of the deconstruction to you, and you can see for yourself."

Li Nuo relaxed.

The angel of the scroll raised his hand and pointed at Li Nuo's eyebrows.

Dense white silk threads appeared in Li Nuo's eyeliner, slowly undulating like waves.

"What are these?" Li Nuo stared at the white silk thread, completely clueless.

The angel of the scroll said,

"This is the result of my deconstruction of the flame. There are no words, no images, just this constantly floating white silk thread. ”

Li Nuo couldn't see the reason for a while, and instead asked:

"Do you use harmless deconstruction or conventional deconstruction?"

The angel of the scroll said,

"I know what you mean. I'm using conventional deconstruction. There is not the slightest aura associated with the Outer Universe on the flame, and the consumption of harmless deconstruction is the same as that of regular deconstruction. ”

Li Nuo asked again:

"How much energy does it take to completely deconstruct the flame?"

The angel of the scroll smiled helplessly:

"Infinite."

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and exclaimed in surprise:

"Infinity?!"

"Yes, infinite." The angel of the scroll spread his hands:

"It may be that the flame itself cannot be completely deconstructed, or it may be that the flame is in a state of constant growth. Anyway, after I initiated the active deconstruction, the feedback I received was that I needed to spend an infinite amount of energy to deconstruct it completely. ”

The angel of the scroll raised his index finger, and his tone became a little solemn:

"You know what? In all my years of being an angel, this is the second thing I've come across that deconstructs the consumption of infinity. Guess what the first one is? ”

Li Nuo was at a loss.

The angel of the scroll said,

"It's the 'Fracture Dimension', the chaotic space beyond the wasteland. Its deconstruction consumption is also unlimited. ”

The angel of the scroll sighed:

"I kind of understand now why the Star God proposed to give the flame to Uwai Eongsui. These two things, which also require an infinite amount of energy to deconstruct, are intrinsically linked at first glance. ”

As soon as the angel of the scroll finished speaking, a purple-black figure appeared on the ground next to him. (End of chapter)
