Chapter 446 Love and Hope
A bright light flashed.
Mansfield stepped out of the cracks.
He was wearing armor and holding a sharp weapon, and his cloak was lifted up with a faint breeze. Yan Zhen could smell the embers from the battlefield that had not yet subsided. His face was hidden in the dark hood, and only a few shiny hairs fell on his shoulders, emitting a mysterious glow.
Because of his appearance, the dense flocks of chickens had to move a little.
But even for him, it was a little funny to see him among such a group of chickens. Yan Zhen grinned.
"This is not the first time we meet." His voice was like the breeze blowing through the dense forest, gentle yet powerful.
"That's unscientific!" Yan Zhen said, "You should at least ask why there are chickens here."
Captain Madara said, "Yes! Please take care of me!"
Only then did he turn his head and look thoughtfully at the endless flock of chickens on the ground.
Yan Zhen spread his hands, "I didn't realize it at first, but just now I found that this story has traces of your design from beginning to end."
"oh?"
"In addition, I want to say that Liu Xingquan still has to pay a fine of 120 million yuan and the trouble caused by poaching. The 700 million yuan I bid for is actually the public funds of the Supervisory Eye. In addition, Xi Yiqi has been tossed into this state. These need to be dealt with by someone from the Supervisory Eye, instead of just ignoring it after achieving the goal!"
He turned and looked at him. Yan Zhen could feel his thought unit whispering. His gaze seemed to penetrate all his thoughts, see all his memories, and see all the worlds. Then he said, "I understand. So, the arrogant Necromancer was fooled by a human. It thought it had obtained the key to the truth of things, but in fact it walked into the trap that had been waiting for it for a long time. This is the end of the story."
He stretched out his hand, and a teardrop-shaped diamond fell into Yan Zhen's palm.
Yan Zhen asked: "What is this?"
"The disaster of Xiyiqi will be repaired." A bright light flashed behind him again, and a crack was slowly opening. It was the vortex that distorted the time gate and the space gate. He was about to leave.
"Are you just leaving like that? The Roken M90 that has turned into an apple peeler is still waiting for you to come back!"
"Has it reached 90 already..." he whispered.
"You're just leaving like that?"
"This is the end of the story." He lifted his hood, and his eyes, which had witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, stared at him like stars. "This is also the beginning of the story."
"This meeting is neither the beginning nor the end," he said. "We will meet again, in the past and in the future."
"etc!!"
Mansfield turned and stepped into the crack. Yan Zhen saw his last smile.
For him, this is just the beginning of the story. In the whirlpool that he doesn't know when to get out of, he will transform into Mr. Cat in the long river of time in the past, carefully maintaining the direction of this road. The Black Box Society is hidden too deep, and the Dead Dragon will continue to calculate, explore, and wait and see, looking for various variables. But even if he has made all the calculations, it is impossible to see every road clearly. In the long time of fighting with the Black Box Society, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He must always be cautious.
His figure disappeared in the dazzling light, leaving behind only the rustling white noise like rain.
He had the same warm smell as Mr. Air. He was the unreachable Mansfield.
But one day, he is Mr. Cat. One day, it will reappear in front of him. One day, it will say to him: [You illegally occupied the human body, sinner.]
This is the beginning of the story.
In his mind, the puzzle pieces fell into place one by one until the last one fit perfectly.
That's the end of the story.
…
…
Liu Xingquan is flying.
He heard Lothar and his friends whispering behind his back.
"Now go to where you should go." They repeated Yan Zhen's words.
"Where should I go?" Liu Xingquan asked. "Where should I go?"
Prince Alsiel spoke softly.
Before his eyes was the black curtain of the universe, with stars flickering and the nebula like surging waves. In the center of the flowing and surging nebula was the gushing fountain of stars. He had seen this scene countless times. The beautiful fountain of stars was like a changing female face.
"Mom," he whispered.
Then he heard singing, a faint whisper at first, then, like falling raindrops, the words coming into focus. It was the same song he had been hearing throughout this journey.
Then he knew where he should go.
He flew towards the intricate golden threads and leapt into an ancient and distant time.
The stars flowed under her feet.
Across the sea of thunder and fire,
Flying through the gravel corridor,
The rose-like stars adorned her wings.
He saw her, the first queen of Xiyiqi, flying in the universe. Passing through the rolling and burning galaxy, the radiation light emitted scorching heat and overflowed with the flames of thunder and fire. But the queen was not afraid. The Xiyiqi signpost was recorded in her genes. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, she would move forward courageously.
Ahead, a space debris belt composed of countless ice and dust is the most dangerous trap in this area. Countless space immigrants have died here, but the first generation queen has extraordinary perception and control. She controls the spacecraft skillfully to accelerate, turn sharply, fly up, descend, and rise rapidly.
She is carrying the stars.
The outer shell of the spacecraft creaked due to the friction of the high temperature. Her fuel was running low. If she didn't land, she would die. The queen decided to take a risk.
She opened the gate, jumped out and rushed down. In an instant, a protective shield covered her body. Scorching sparks jumped on her body. Even with the heat dissipation protection of the protective shield, her body was still being torn apart. If she was not careful, she would be burned to charcoal or torn into pieces.
She saw the time gate and spread her wings behind her. The strong impact made her dizzy, and the protective shield screamed sharply. The pull of gravity made it almost impossible for her to control herself. She adjusted her wings, slowed down, slowed down, and landed in a rotation.
Like a falling meteor.
When she reached the ground, dust flew up and gravel broke apart. She rolled over and over on the ground until she could no longer stir up dust.
At least three of her limbs were broken and her body was covered with horrifying burns. She staggered and stood up firmly from the dust.
How beautiful and brave, Liu Xingquan thought.
It was a completely different appearance from Homo sapiens, with a slender body and elegant transparent wings that were stained with a rosy halo under the satellite's illumination. Her crystal clear compound eyes reflected the night sky of Xiyiqi.
Sing, sing,
This is where the queen descends.
"I heard singing." murmured the First Queen.
She looked up at the mountain in front of her, "Is this mountain singing?"
Liu Xingquan thought she saw him.
But he soon realized that was not the case.
"It's called Nocturne Mountain..." the Queen whispered.
Because of the existence of the underground think tank, there is a small-scale space-time distortion phenomenon in Nocturne Mountain. This is why the black box collects a large number of consciousness aggregates and places them here to create large quantum programs for calculation and observation. This is also what Liu Xingquan knew from his previous journey.
After the first queen descended on Nocturne Mountain in Xiyiqi, it became a forbidden holy place, with the only tradition being to burn the corpses of the deceased Zergs.
"My descendants, they are suffering." The queen's voice was filled with sorrow.
In front of her and Liu Xingquan, red and yellow mist was rising from the desolate Nocturne Mountain, and the floating and flickering volatile particles were like blinking stars in the night sky.
At that moment, Liu Xingquan remembered everything and understood the meaning of it.
The Xiyiqi insect swarm uses smell to convey information. Their bodies after burning turned into tiny particles. In the eyes of Liu Xingquan, Saidi people and other races, this is just ordinary smoke. But in the mouths of the Xiyiqi insect swarm, it is called "the song of the dead." This is because the Xiyiqi people can really sense the information of the dead tribesmen turning into particles floating in the air, while the smoke in the eyes of foreigners is a long song in their senses.
During this long period of time, generation after generation of Xiyiqi people burned corpses here, turning them into songs of the dead.
Nocturne Mountain is a magical place.
Then, something amazing happened. Under the Nocturne Mountain effect that distorted time and space, the future Song of the Dead was distorted into the past, and the past Song of the Dead was distorted into the future. So the countless information particles of the past, present, and future turned into entangled tracks, woven wreaths, surrounding the Nocturne Mountain in Xiyiqi. Countless Songs of the Dead connected the past, and countless connected the future, repeating again and again. This is the mist floating on Nocturne Mountain.
This naturally formed, complex and exaggerated information particle is like millions of people singing millions of songs at the same time. Even for the Xiyiqi people who can sense smells, they only hear a chaotic humming sound and cannot understand this obscure song of the dead. Therefore, for thousands of years, the song of the dead in Nocturne Mountain has been just the most common sight in Xiyiqi. That's because the smoke produced by burning corpses is like the dark clouds before thunder and the rainbow after rain, ordinary and natural.
But the first queen is extraordinary. She is the ancestor of all the Zergs. She is their template. All the genes of the Xiyiqi Zergs come from her. She can sense the emotions of billions of Zergs at the same time. Her perception and analytical ability are also at the top of the Zerg.
She keenly heard the songs of the descendants who died in vain due to mutation in the distant future.
She heard their cries.
"I understand," said the First Queen. "Before I die, I will let my body burn here."
She turned her head, and Liu Xingquan felt that she was looking at him, "My descendants, the answer lies here."
Bitter tears welled up in his eyes.
This is the answer that scientist Qisina finally found, and it is also the answer found by the scientists assassinated by the Black Box Society. Xiyiqi's malignant mutation is the result of the accumulation of malignant deformations in the inheritance from generation to generation of the queen's descendants, and the Black Box Society has aggravated this process, so no matter how it is treated, it will be of no avail.
But the genes of the first queen are perfect. As long as the genes of the first generation can be obtained, all the malignant deformations can be completely repaired by using the first queen as a template. The next generation of insect swarms will also be completely free of this nightmare mutation.
Some scientists have thought of this.
However, in the ten thousand years of Xiyiqi's inheritance, the genetic map of the first queen had long been lost in the long river of history. The information of the queens of later generations that can be found is only within a thousand years, and ten thousand years is really too far away.
Under the cold gaze of the Black Box Society, the Xiyiqi swarm will come to an end.
Now, Song of the Dead told him that the First Queen had never given up on her offspring.
The song of Nocturne Mountain is the answer.
That is a message that other races cannot understand.
That is the song of the dead that only the first queen of the Xiyiqi insect swarm can understand.
Liu Xingquan spread his wings, and he transformed into a green bird again. This time, he would return with the message of saving all the Xiyiqi people.
So he traveled back into the long river of time and space.
Dense cities and swarms of insects appeared in Xiyiqi. A group of killer whales walked out of the ocean and claimed that this place was originally their colony.
He continued to fly forward.
He saw him and Yan Zhen just entering the port from the Zejin. They looked excited and curious, thinking that they would only stay on this planet for a short time.
He continued to fly forward.
He saw that the black sentinel that was devouring Xi Yiqi had disappeared. Countless stars were sliding across the sky. They fell like shining dust, like flying elves. The city was being repaired among these stars.
Liu Xingquan couldn't help laughing and said, "Yan Zhen! Look! Look at the sky!"
"Yan Zhen!! Look! Look up at the sky!!"
His voice echoed in the void. Liu Xingquan couldn't help but think that Yan Zhen must have also seen this wonderful scene. Xi Yiqi was saved.
Given his current condition, there was no way his scream just now could reach Yan Zhen’s ears.
Or perhaps, during this wonderful observation journey, this cry will drift to other time and space.
Yan Zhen looked at the teardrop-shaped diamond in her hand.
This was Mansfield's gift to him.
He could feel the powerful computing power flowing through the diamond. "This guy really likes to order people around." Yan Zhen muttered in a low voice.
The information that the Sentinels devoured would be preserved. The diamond that Mansfield left him was essentially a recovery protocol, which would convert and restore all the compressed material information that had been devoured the moment it was opened. This was a protocol that could only be used when all the Sentinels returned to the Think Tank.
He stretched out his hand and threw the diamond into the air.
Diamonds burst open in the air and turned into sparkling dust.
Countless stars are scattered over the real land of Xiyiqi.
In an instant, the doors and all objects destroyed by the sentinels were restored at high speed.
Then, the God of White Light appeared.
A gift of blessing to the Queen.
Like a drizzle, the dead are resurrected,
Like a raging fire, it dispels suffering.
In the beginning, there was a star.
Like a raindrop.
Then the stars fell from the sky one after another.
The gate between heaven and earth was filled with glittering rain.
They were like flying elves painting the earth. The broken buildings that were originally devoured by the sentinels and bombarded by artillery fire immediately looked like they had been rebuilt as soon as the stars flashed by. The light and shadow flickered like flames, and familiar places restored their original appearance one by one.
The round, eggshell-like silver building was the bathhouse where they had just bathed in Xiyiqi. The densely packed streets made up of hexagonal structures were the market where he had once visited as a prince with his bodyguard Conde, where souvenirs representing the two princes and the queen were hung. In the building with heavy rocks like mountains, the winding corridors extended to the sky garden and the attic courtyard. That was Prince Alsher's palace. Under his feet was the city road network spread out like vines, the tower spires that had been erected again, and the rows of umbrella-shaped plants that stretched their waists. The places he had seen and walked through, as well as the countless corners of the city he had never been to, were experiencing a wonderful journey of recovery in the light and shadow.
Stars, twinkling.
On the ruins of the streets, in the underground shelters, in the spaceships under the flowing clouds, and above Xiyiqi's orbit, the people, the soldiers, and the aliens all looked at the twinkling stars.
Stars, twinkling.
Hundreds of destroyed cities are resurrecting.
…
…
Linaru raised his head.
The starship of the Overwatch Eye was looming in the rolling clouds in the sky. It was beautiful, especially after seeing the figure of that adult appear.
Linaru knew what that meant. The Lord of the Eyes of Supervision swept away all the rumors about his death in danger. When he appeared here, all the fear and strange shadows disappeared, just like in the legend.
After the miracle of the Queen's return, he no longer expected anything more, but the godlike figure came, and he witnessed with his own eyes the blue rune light roaring and disintegrating the out-of-control sentinels one by one. The armed guards of the Eye of Supervision behind him harvested the survivors who had escaped punishment by chance with gunfire and the roar of explosives. The wailing of the sentinels seemed so weak and powerless in front of them.
After the thunder and fire, all the sentinels disappeared.
He walked forward as if sleepwalking, and then he saw a man.
Shark Tooth was standing on the pile of stones, gazing at the city. The landing ships were traveling through the spires of the spaceport. Along with the fleets that were saving Xiyiqi, there were also stars jumping in all directions. Just like the ballad in the legend, the drizzle of starlight was healing Xiyiqi.
No words can describe the scene before his eyes. The rain of fire behind the fleet's engines and the twinkling starlight when it landed formed a complex and harmonious rhythm. In this beautiful movement, the city was growing again. Linaru had imagined many fantastic scenes before, but never as dreamlike as this moment. He staggered to Shark Fang's side, and then he saw Shark Fang's face.
At that moment, he was somewhat unsure of his eyes, for he saw something even stranger than the miracle before his eyes. Shark Tooth was staring at the ship of the Eye of Supervision without moving, as if he were immersed in an intoxicating dream, with a strange light of water flickering on the face of this usually cold and dark Homo sapiens.
So Rinaru blurted out, "Are you crying?"
Sharktooth turned and looked at him.
Linaru regretted it.
Under the sudden and fierce punch, his body was thrown out like a flying cannonball.
This guy is really too suspicious, Rinaru lost consciousness thinking this.
…
…
Yin Ran originally thought that he would fall to the ground and smash to pieces.
But the current situation is not very good.
She was suspended in midair by a flock of small flying machines that buzzed like hummingbirds.
"When are you going to let me down?"
Duke Gil poked his head out halfway. "Do you mean to let you go now and let you fall to your death?"
"Of course not!!"
"Then wait a little longer." Duke Gil said, looking around, "wait until the city is finished growing."
"How long will that take?!"
“We let it go.”
"Hello!!"
Yin Ran suddenly felt the pull of gravity. Just when she thought she was going to fall rapidly, a strong wind suddenly rose from behind her.
She was floating in the air, with a pair of flying wings installed on her back.
"For your contribution in saving the queen, this is given to you." Duke Gil's cold voice came from the side and then gradually faded away.
Then she flapped her wings and flew upwards, and beneath her feet the city was growing.
…
…
Everything is reviving.
Zhang Fei let out a long sigh.
Guan Yu looked out the porthole and said, "Whatever you want to say, don't say anything."
Zhang Fei said: "I just want to say that even if the world doesn't end, we still have to pay our mortgage and continue to work."
"Fuck, shut up!!!"
Rites turned to Liu Bei and said, "Speaking of loans, I remembered something. I just bought a new boat, and I will pay it off after paying this loan. Would you consider traveling with me?"
Liu Bei angrily said: "You also shut up!!!"
Fei stood silently by the side of the ship, holding Nielm in her arms and Catworm standing on her shoulder. When she saw Yin Ran flapping her wings and waving at them, she couldn't help but smile.
…
…
Xiyiqi is recovering.
The queen gazed at the star rain in the sky.
Her Xiyiqi became more strange and beautiful than ever before.
Countless Xiyi people hugged each other on the streets in ecstasy and praised this miraculous moment with tears in their eyes.
A little green bird flew towards her.
She looked up and saw a star falling from the door between the claws of the green bird.
She subconsciously reached out and caught the star.
The stars swung in her hands.
Then she heard singing.
That was the song of the first queen, that was the song sung softly by Prince Alsiel, that was loyalty and lies, that was death and separation, that was love and hope.
It is composed of tens of millions of notes. It is a complex and detailed genetic map, and it is also Xiyiqi's song of rebirth.
