Chapter 877: Unexpected Situation
Outside of the area where rules are entangled, there have been great changes here compared to five years ago.
The huge metal fortress is suspended in the starry space, in the shape of a cube.
Extending from each corner are slender devices that look like transparent pipes, but are actually track shuttles.
A metal cone-shaped mechanism connected all the way to the end.
These devices are like suction cups, attracting a large number of planets from a distance. These are all celestial bodies that have been migrated here. After special treatments such as gravitational binding and energy constraint, they are very stable.
The metal cone-shaped mechanical device is called the Star Magnetic Fixture.
Used to guide the magnetic field energy of stellar bodies for various high-standard energy applications.
In the fortress, Damian stared at the screen in front of him with a gloomy expression. The other party smiled bitterly and said:
"The reply from the other party is that it is the birthday of the Emperor's eighteenth wife and it will take several months to prepare. The cooperation will be postponed for a while."
“Wife’s birthday? Don’t they have any other excuses?!” Damian roared, “In the past five years, there has been no progress in the cooperation and no progress in information collection!”
"What on earth are you doing!?"
He couldn't help but be angry.
He was quite happy when he first contacted the Star Empire. After all, the prospect of coming into contact with a high-level civilization always made these scientific researchers look forward to it.
However, subsequent developments were somewhat beyond his expectations.
Just the approval process that the other party mentioned took nearly a year.
After finally getting approval, I got the chance to meet the emperor, but the other party just said one sentence and then the meeting ended.
This made Damian, who was full of joy, feel like a bucket of cold water was poured on him.
After that, the other party kept putting off any plans to visit the capital or to make further cooperation.
Otherwise, they would use some low-level technology to fool them, and put them under house arrest in an area, and they could not go out without their permission.
Damian spent five tormenting years amidst various excuses and evasions.
"There must be something wrong, otherwise they wouldn't respond in this way. What are they planning?"
Damian was not a fool, and he sent some people in gradually during that period. However, those exploration ships were either torn apart by the rule entanglement area or else.
Otherwise they were intercepted by the other side and placed under house arrest, not allowed to leave.
The other party has already figured out where their entry point is, and it is almost impossible to escape their lock.
The other party's evasive attitude also made Damian suspicious.
There must be something fishy going on with this Star Empire.
But he had no idea about it.
Three years ago, he submitted a report, hoping to open up a new exploration point in another area, but there has been no news since then.
This exploration point was built in a short period of time with a lot of resources invested by several major civilizations.
He wanted to open another exploration point in another area, which would also require a lot of resources.
However, due to the occurrence of the dimensional war, the attention of the upper echelons is not here for the time being.
It was also because Damian gained nothing that made them reluctant to invest resources.
Their original intention was to open the ruins, perhaps to locate the Dragon Lord, or at least to obtain some precious items left over from the Titan civilization.
But since they knew that the Star Empire was almost as powerful as they were, their interest gradually waned.
It is impossible to fight with this powerful civilization for no reason.
They were even less interested in helping this powerful civilization escape .
Damian knew this, too.
But he had no choice. It was he who proposed the adjustment of the exploration plan. Now it was extremely difficult to make adjustments again without any substantial evidence.
But he can now be sure that this Star Empire is definitely different from what they had previously speculated.
"I must find out what you are covering up!" Damian's eyes flickered. Now it was no longer a question of curiosity or not.
But this group of people treated him like a moron and fooled him, how could he swallow this?
Although the exploration of this Star Empire yielded nothing.
But in the past five years, his research on rule-entangled areas has taken a step forward.
As long as there were enough resources, he believed he could open up a track for a large army to pass through.
But he needs a chance!
"The Dimension War is over, they will turn their attention back..." He murmured quietly to comfort himself.
At this moment, his smart terminal flashed and a communication request popped up, bypassing his permission.
"Prophet?" Damian was a little surprised. He suppressed his emotions and looked at the old man in front of him.
"Damian, I heard that you encountered some troubles while exploring the ruins?" The prophet asked indifferently.
Damian did not answer immediately, but hesitated and asked: "Why are you suddenly paying attention to this matter?"
"Do you want to open up another exploration point besides this one?" the prophet continued.
"What do you mean?" Damian asked directly.
"We have read your application report and they think it is meaningless." The prophet elaborated, "But I don't think so."
"I can provide the corresponding resources to support you in opening up an exploration point in another place."
Damian immediately understood what the prophet meant and frowned, "Serve you alone?"
"Yes, there is one thing you may not know. The Dimension War has ended, and they do not want to continue to provide resources for research in this area..."
"Even, I can replace you..."
Before he finished speaking, Damian spoke anxiously, "There must be something wrong with the Star Empire. It's not what we thought. Give me some time, and I will definitely find clues."
"It was you who proposed the changes to the exploration plan." The prophet shook his head.
Damian looked grim and said nothing.
The prophet's expression remained calm. "Of course, you can choose not to believe it, but the appointment will come soon. You can contact me after the appointment."
Damian's lips tightened, and the Prophet did not continue speaking, ending the communication.
Three days later, the appointment letter from the Great Cosmic Alliance was issued - Damian's status as chief researcher was removed and he was awaiting a new assignment.
The five major civilizations signed and executed at the same time.
…
"Hmm... [Transcendent Soul] is in the Ultimate Intelligent Body, and [Information Shadow] is controlled by the Protoss High Priest. Neither of them can be obtained in a short period of time..."
"It seems that only this [Chaos Virus] can be considered..."
In the room, Li Yu was thinking about the next action plan.
Entering the second level of evolution of source essence, his body was highly active and he needed some time to settle down before he could continue to devour source essence.
During this period, he naturally would not sit idle and try to see if he could get the missing materials for [The Path of Evolution].
But after thinking about it, it seems that we can only focus on this [Chaos Virus].
The so-called [Chaos Virus], also known as cosmic cancer, has appeared before in this universe. It erodes the universe itself.
Unlike the deep dimensional world, the opponent of the deep dimensional world is the main universe civilization.
Even if the main universe is pulled down, it still belongs to the universe in essence. From a macro perspective, it is nothing more than transferring from the left hand to the right hand.
But the [Chaos Virus] is different. It is a pure, destructive thing.
Although it is called a virus, it is actually a special substance that will corrode everything it touches.
This corrosion occurs at all levels, from the perspective of information state and time and space.
Simply put, objects corroded by the [Chaos Virus] will disappear from any angle.
It will even disappear from the memory of living beings.
Only within the five top civilizations are there relevant information about the [Chaos Virus].
Ordinary civilizations don’t understand this thing at all.
Its energy properties are so high and rare in the universe that even super life forms will be affected.
On a cosmic scale, there have been only three recorded explosions, which have destroyed countless civilizations.
There were about fourteen times that were not recorded and were contained by the universe itself.
It is hard to understand that this kind of substance is needed to assist in breaking through the evolutionary barriers.
It deserves that no one in the universe can break through the evolutionary barriers and peek into the levels above super life forms.
"There are indeed samples stored in that strange civilization, but it's too far away. It will take me at least a hundred years to get there..." Li Yu muttered.
He knew where it was, but it was too far away.
It is a civilization extremely far away from this interstellar space. Its overall strength is not weak, and is similar to the declining Civilization Zero.
They are proficient in biotechnology, have in-depth research on the [Chaos Virus], and call themselves Kabbalah.
The five major civilizations have been constantly expanding and exploring their boundaries, but have not come into contact with that civilization, which shows how far the distance is.
However, what is interesting is that Kabbalah did discover traces of the five major civilizations.
The interstellar region where their civilization resides is not suitable for the development of pan-civilization because various physical materials are scarce and biotechnology is very advanced.
There were few civilizations around, so they began to expand their borders very early on.
Unlike the five major civilizations here, who are fighting, scheming, maintaining balance, and exploring the universe at the same time, their energy is dispersed too much.
They discovered the existence of the five major civilizations very early, and at the same time they were always prepared for danger, thinking about how to respond if the other side attacked.
The universe is boundless. In his previous state of omniscience, he analyzed the specific coordinates of many civilizations. These coordinates alone are unimaginable wealth.
If the five major civilizations knew about this, they would definitely go crazy.
"Unless something is born nearby by chance, otherwise... I really have to make a trip." Li Yu felt his scalp tingling when he thought about the hundred years of travel time.
[Chaos Virus] can be born by chance.
In fact, this thing was born by chance, but the conditions for its birth were very harsh.
Even if Li Yu used real gems to simulate the environment in which it was born, the success rate of its birth would not exceed one in a billion.
"Tsk, what a trouble..." Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
No, we should first attack the big light ball of Ultimate Wisdom, or the priest...
The big light ball has a weakness, which is that it is located in the core of eternal civilization and its defense is too strong.
The high priest often wanders around, but his individual strength is too strong, and there are also...
"Uncle Yu..." Tu Ying's voice brought him back from his thoughts.
"Here she is. This is Xia, what a..." Li Yu looked at Xia, who was half a head taller than him, paused, and said, "A strong girl."
"This is a gift for you..." Xia handed over a gift box and said nervously, "This is the cloak I sewed. I heard from Tu Ying that your cloak is torn..."
That is the battle damage feature of the Thunder Battle Armor.
Li Yu took it with a smile and glanced at the color scheme. Hmm... red is a flashy style, which fits my inherent impression.
He said cheerfully, "Why bring a gift? That's too polite."
Xia was very curious and nervous about this famous Dragon Lord who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Star Empire.
Because Long Zun no longer needs anything, or he cannot provide what the other party needs.
Seeing that Long Zun didn't despise her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Tu Ying also has his own family. This feeling is quite wonderful, and Li Yu doesn’t know how to describe it.
However, the two iron tower-like creatures nestled in front of him were still quite abstract.
At the same time as this "warm" moment, somewhere in an unknown star field.
It was pitch black here, and filled with liquid that looked like oil.
A spaceship is moving slowly, like a sailing submarine.
In the cabin , Ron lay on the chair with a look of despair: "Joseph, we accidentally entered somewhere again, it's pitch black and there's no signal."
Following Joseph, he had become accustomed to this happening.
Joseph was resting with his eyes closed. Hearing this, he said without opening his eyes: "I don't know. There are only two results. Either you are rescued by the Legion, or you die here."
"This is not our hometown. The Legion doesn't even dare to show up here. I don't know if they can come to rescue us." Ron said with a wry smile.
"Then die..." Joseph said calmly, "Who made you so curious that you had to come out and take a look?"
The two of them didn't seem too nervous. They had experienced this kind of situation so many times that they were used to it.
The perspective continues to zoom out and the lights gradually emerge.
This is a transparent crystal ball filled with black liquid, wrapping a silver-white spaceship.
Around the crystal ball, there were two or three life forms that looked very strange, pointing at the crystal ball and saying something.
