Chapter 676: Do you want to go home?
"So, you set a trap for those superhumans in the MAGA world? You also want to use their plan to complete your revenge on those enemies in the Bitterwood Realm?
You are really a bad guy, Boss Jiang."
A few days later, in the Garden of Eden world, Old Earl and Boss Jiang, who had just come to this world, were standing on the top of a mountain. From their position, they could see some figures working on the plains on the coast below.
A small settlement has been built there.
"Don't praise me like that. I just have a little vision to discover opportunities. Don't say I'm evil. Look, I'm helping them.
As long as they complete that plan, the MAGA world can be preserved and smoothly survive the apocalyptic disaster. I can also use their efforts to reap a great victory of my own.
Both parties will be satisfied.
That’s called a win-win situation.”
Boss Jiang grinned, looked at the settlement in the distance, and said:
“Although they may not be so easily fooled, according to my estimation, there is a high chance that Barbara and her followers will still follow the path I have designed for them.
After all, having a bad situation and another worse outcome before them is not called 'having a choice'.
They are not as lucky as you. After the world is destroyed, they can still find a new home... Speaking of which, has your Apocalypse Plan begun?"
"Well, it's started. Now it's the testing phase."
Old Earl raised his head and glanced at the sky. Under the blue sky and white clouds, he could clearly feel the message sent by the Eden fleet. Even with the naked eye, he could see the strange "satellite" floating in the blue sky.
It is white, as if covered with a layer of white light.
That was the original world of Eden, which has now been sent into a satellite orbit outside the New Garden of Eden by the Eden intelligences using insane black technology.
From now on, it will exist as a companion planet to the New Eden.
Through repeated calculations by the Navigation Center, the intelligent beings hollowed out another one-third of the mantle layer of the old world, reducing its mass and weakening its gravity to a suitable level.
This ensures that the surround system of the old world and the new world is truly formed.
This also led to a unique "double moon" system in the sky of the New Eden world in the future. The intelligences also planned to build a Dyson sphere that encompassed the binary stars outside the New Eden world.
It was a huge project, and even with the unscientific scientific level of the Eden people, it would take a very long time to complete.
"The Navigation Center selected fifty human elites from the Eden people's consciousness library, first informed them of the existence of the 'Apocalypse' plan, and then let them enter this new world as the first batch of testers."
Old Earl explained to Boss Jiang:
“After the Forerunners build the first village in New Eden with their own hands without the help of the intelligent beings, proving that they can achieve symbiosis with the new world, the apocalypse will truly begin.
The first batch will unlock 100,000 people to enter the new world, and the intelligent side will also provide certain assistance.
After the first city in New Eden is built and is able to achieve self-sufficient production development, the second stage will begin and three million people will be deployed.
Then comes the third stage. Thirty million people, these Edenites will form a nation and explore outward along their settlements. After they complete their circumnavigation of the New World and record a map , Revelation will enter its final stage.
All Eden people will be fully awakened in the final stage.
They will be deployed to various continents throughout the world, and follow the steps of the forerunners, dividing the former countries of the Eden world and rebuilding their own countries and forces.
At this point, the restart of the entire civilization is truly complete."
“Isn’t this too conservative?”
Old Jiang was smoking a cigarette. After listening to Old Earl's introduction, he flicked the ash and said:
"According to your progress, I estimate that it will take at least five years to complete the entire Revelation... Why not throw them all into the new world at once?"
"Because it will cause conflicts, Jiang."
Old Earl sighed and said:
“When the Eden world was destroyed, productivity had not yet reached a true communist world, and there were still frictions and conflicts between countries.
There will be barriers between different beliefs and different races.
Everyone united together at that time because of the threat from the Wild Lord Vanguard. Although they eventually won, it did not mean that the rift in civilization was completely bridged.
If all the Edenians were thrown into the new world at once, there would be no way they could rebuild civilization given the shortage of supplies.
According to the calculations of the Central Intelligence Agency, there is a 65% chance that within three years, a world war will break out with sticks and stones due to issues such as material distribution and racial conflicts...
This is not what we want to see.
The Eden people are not perfect, so the apocalypse must be advanced slowly, rather than just throwing them into the new world and not caring about their lives."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Boss Jiang nodded in agreement, and then asked:
"What about those players who are still fighting in various worlds? They can be considered the 'top force' in the New Eden world. When do you plan to tell them the truth?"
"After the first city is built and the Edenites have formed an administrative system with decision-making power, the truth of the Book of Revelation will be revealed to them."
Old Earl said:
“It is precisely because those players have various special powers that the New Eden world will not accept their clones to enter for the time being.
If they want to return to New Eden, they must first change into an ordinary person's body to avoid destroying the restart of civilization due to the abuse of power.
After the Edenians have completed their military technology upgrades and have sufficient capabilities to deal with the chaos these players will cause, their powerful clones will be allowed to return home."
"Well, now that you mention it, the civilizational characteristics of the people of New Eden are very interesting."
Boss Jiang grinned and said:
"Everyone's soul in this new world of yours is coded, which means that every Eden person has the ability to have an 'avatar' in other worlds and accomplish something.
This feature is very interesting.
Perhaps in the future, the twin civilizations of Eden and Eden Intelligence can help me shoulder some important responsibilities.
What I mean is that when we start a large-scale search for the remaining , you can perhaps become my vanguard and messenger."
"If it's for the sake of saving..."
Old Earl blinked and said:
"Then we'll be happy to serve you, boss."
"Well, I like this name!"
Old Jiang snapped his fingers and spoke a few words to Old Earl. From the top of the mountain, he looked out at the village built by the Eden people on the coastal plain in the distance.
He could see the state of those Edenians.
A little tired, but full of energy, as if I didn't need to sleep at all.
They are doing what they can, they don't need anyone to urge them, and no one is lazy.
This is a nature developed after experiencing a disaster, a characteristic of civilization, thriving like a torch that has been reignited, constantly emitting light and heat.
Although the village built by the fifty pioneers of Eden on the plain was very simple, the scene of their work could bring people spiritual encouragement and comfort.
"Maybe next time I come here, I'll be able to see with my own eyes the first city built by the people of Eden. I'm really looking forward to it."
Old Jiang rubbed his forehead, looked at Old Earl again and said:
"Okay, now that we have finished talking about the wonderful things, it's time to talk about the less pleasant things. Have you completed the data analysis of the seven mechanical lives?
Can we locate their homeland among the stars according to their description?"
"Well, it's done."
Old Earl's expression also turned serious.
He raised his hand and marked a star map on the optical projection device on his wrist. When he saw the strange star map, Lao Jiang's expression immediately became serious.
Because the star map in front of us is dim.
In the three-dimensional movement of the planets, one can even see the wreckage of worlds that have been drained of life and riddled with holes, which represents a terrible fact.
Lao Jiang said in a deep voice:
"The homeland of those mechanical life forms is in the dark star field of the Lord of the Wasteland?"
"Not only that."
Old Earl expanded the star map to the limit. In the one-third of the universe that was swallowed up by the Lord of the Wilderness, there was a conspicuous red sign that was slowly moving.
The intelligent leader of the Eden world said in an amazed tone:
“The world of mechanical life is not only located in the dark star field of the Wasteland Lord, they are also advancing towards the core area of the Wasteland Lord at an observable speed.
That is, the location of the singularity at the time of the Big Bang, the center of the era of cosmic expansion, and the oldest star field is the direction in which they are moving.
I couldn't believe it when the Navigation Center dared to calculate the coordinates of this world.
But it turns out that the pride of those seven mechanical lives originating from the data souls is not without reason.
Their civilization is probably the only one in this catastrophic era that dares to wage a direct war against the Lord of the Wilderness.
They most likely want to destroy the core of the Wasteland Lord before it swallows up the entire universe...but the problem is that a weird disaster aggregate like the Wasteland Lord has no core at all.
It is not a real physical object.
It is just a conceptual creature that destroys everything. Even the entity of this dark star field that devours the stars is just a concrete manifestation of disaster in the material world.
The Lord of the Wasteland is impossible to be defeated.
At least from the level we currently understand, it has no fatal weaknesses, and there is no entity that can attack us."
"That is to say, either these mechanical life forms are a group of war-crazed destroyers who would rather perish together with the Lord of the Wasteland in a spectacular way than live in disgrace.
Otherwise, these guys must have a clear goal in mind when traveling in the dark star region!"
Boss Jiang stared at the dim star map in front of him.
He said:
"They may want to find something crucial that can turn the tide of the war in the dark world swallowed by the Lord of the Wasteland. But having a common enemy does not mean that this mechanical civilization can become our helper.
While attacking the Wasteland Lord, they also continued to send out their own armies to carry out destructive plunder among the stars that had not yet been swallowed up.
Fight to support the war...
What a cruel and domineering style.
It seems that I must go there and take a look. I must find out what these mechanical lives are trying to do."
“Can you do that?”
Old Earl asked with some lack of confidence:
"I know that you found the armillary sphere that can help you locate the stars from Mr. Juzi's legacy.
I also know that you have the extraordinary ability to travel through worlds, but even if you start from a planet on the edge of the dark star field, it is still a considerable distance to travel to the mother planet of mechanical life.
They have traveled too far in the dark star field. Even for us, that long distance seems insurmountable.
Moreover, in the dark star region, there must be terrible monsters bred by the will of the Wilderness Lord, and those pioneers of the Wilderness Lord who ravaged the world gathered there.
That is the base camp of the dark forces of this group of stars..."
"I don't know if I can jump over it all at once."
Lao Jiang stretched his wrist, rubbed his cheek and said:
“But we must try. Bring me the wills of those seven mechanical lives. I need their help. If I can get through, I will also need them to lead the way for me.
Just tell them for me that I promised them in the wasteland that I would take them home.
Now is the chance.
Ask them if they miss home and want to visit their hometown. If they do, they will be ready to serve me.
I am a reasonable person and I will not force them."
