Volume 3 Chapter 158: Eliminate the Remnants of Humanity
Knowing that he was no match for his opponent, the leader of the ascetic monks did not retreat. Instead, a determined look flashed across his face. He closed his eyes and began to mutter to himself.
"Oh no! He is using himself as a container to call for the arrival of the god Dur." Domore was suddenly horrified.
Using oneself as a container to call for the arrival of divine consciousness, even in the entire Dur sect, there are not many people who can do this.
And the ascetic in front of him is exactly one of them.
However, the coming of God also comes at a huge price.
Especially for people who are containers.
Basically, the consciousness clone of the god Dur can only stay in his body for a short few minutes.
His body would completely collapse into a pool of rotten flesh.
However, his extreme devotion to the god Dur made him willing to sacrifice himself.
Even at this moment, after completing the descent ceremony and slowly opening his eyes, the ascetic leader was clearly suffering from the extreme pain of the descent of the gods, but his eyes were full of fanaticism.
For him, it is a great honor for his body to serve as a temporary container for the gods and carry the consciousness of the gods.
Lin Xu watched this scene with interest but did not stop it.
He also wanted to see what the god Dur was like, and whether he was like the Outer God who was captured before, with nothing but greed in his consciousness.
However, the body of the ascetic leader radiated brighter and brighter light, and light even burst out from the ascetic's mouth, eyes, and ears.
The rest of the ascetics around all knelt down in front of the ascetic leader, welcoming the coming of the gods.
The next moment, the god's consciousness appeared in the body of the ascetic leader.
That consciousness was like some kind of jelly, wriggling in the body of the ascetic leader, looking for a suitable position.
At the same time, that consciousness also explored outward through the emitted light.
A natural pressure spread out in all directions.
The consciousness of the ascetic leader had been compressed into the corner of his body, and it even seemed as if it would completely dissipate in the next moment.
But he had no fear, instead his mind was filled with joy.
That is the joy that comes from being in close contact with God.
Although as he came into close contact with the gods, his consciousness was gradually becoming more and more crazy.
Until the god's consciousness explored the surroundings and came into contact with Lin Xu, Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu, Lu Yao and others who were not far away.
In an instant, the light coming out of the eyes, ears, and mouth of the ascetic leader paused.
The divine consciousness in the mind of the ascetic leader, which originally conveyed a sense of oppression in all directions, turned into fear in the blink of an eye.
It was a feeling of fear that came from the soul.
At this moment, both the ascetic leader whose body was occupied and the ascetic monks kneeling on the ground were stunned.
Dur, the god, is in fear.
No, this must be an illusion. How could a god be afraid?
And it is fearing mortals.
At the same time as he was feeling fear, the consciousness of the god Dur was rapidly withdrawing from the body of the ascetic leader. At the same time, there was obvious anger in that consciousness. He was angry at the ascetic leader for using the ritual of divine descent to harm himself.
The remaining consciousness of the ascetic leader was already confused. He did not understand what was happening. He expressed his piety to the god Dur over and over again, but unfortunately the god Dur's consciousness had already left as quickly as possible.
With a thud, the ascetic leader's body, which had begun to undergo changes, fell to the ground.
Because the gods took the initiative to withdraw and the divine descent ritual failed, the lifeless-eyed ascetic leader has not died yet.
But his lifeless eyes staring at the sky were like those of a girl who had just lost the most precious thing in her life, and it was taken away by hundreds of big men.
Lin Xu couldn't bear to watch it.
In the end, the ascetic leader only left a question: why?
The whole person went completely crazy in an instant, his body transformed into a complete monster, and pounced towards where Lin Xu was.
However, it was chopped into pieces by Mu Xiyue's sword halfway through.
Some of the remaining ascetics rushed forward, while others turned around and ran.
Mu Xiyue easily chopped the ascetic monk who rushed up to her into pieces, and did not care about those who ran away.
It wasn't until everything settled down that Domore finally reacted.
"Was that God Dur just now? But God Dur? God Dur?" As a believer of God Dur, Domore seemed to be unable to accept the reality.
Even if reason told him that it was not incomprehensible that God Dur chose to escape when facing humans.
But when he actually saw it, he still felt a little overwhelmed.
"Okay, it's time for us to go." Lin Xu didn't let him continue to worry about this issue.
The next moment, several people took off into the air, bringing Domore with them, and quickly arrived in the sky, next to the Skylark, which was invisible with optical camouflage.
Then he entered the cockpit of the Skylark and headed north.
With such a short distance, the Skylark could reach the destination in the blink of an eye.
Domore was still in the cockpit, looking at everything curiously, when the silhouette of the floating continent appeared below the porthole.
"Is this a spaceship? This is my first time entering the interior of a spaceship." Domore was very emotional.
"Your ancestors also once flew such spaceships." Lin Xu thought about it and finally said something to comfort him in disguise.
"It's a pity that we have already lost that kind of technology." Domore could only smile bitterly at this consolation.
At this moment, several people suddenly saw a rocket rising from the floating continent outside the porthole.
Yes, it is the kind of rocket used to launch satellites or spacecraft in the 21st century.
"Is this a missile? Have they discovered us? Are they going to shoot us down?" Lu Yao asked curiously, standing by the porthole.
"Their civilization is also regressing. Although it has not regressed to the steam age and still retains the ability to launch rockets, it is impossible for them to discover the Skylark." Lin Xu shook his head and said.
"So, they are just launching rockets? Is there a satellite in the rocket?" Nanzhu asked curiously.
"The detection signal shows that the rocket is carrying a small spacecraft with astronauts inside." Yinghuo's voice sounded.
"Astronaut? Are they going to carry out a space mission?" Nanzhu asked puzzled.
After all, they had never found any space stations or anything like that above this planet before, only some satellites at most.
"No, I guess they may want to go to Earth." Lin Xu looked up at the huge Earth that still spanned the sky, the planet wrapped in a steel dome that occupied half of the sky.
It looks like a war star.
"Earth? Are they coming to find us? They are really brave." Nanzhu said in surprise.
"Is it possible that they have guessed your identity?" Domore on the side suddenly said.
"Guessed our identity?" Lin Xu was stunned.
"Yes, I can guess that. They are even said to be the descendants of the real maintainers. The information they have about humans must be more than what I can get by browsing the library myself." Domore explained.
"Indeed, if that's the case." Lin Xu nodded slowly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yinghuo suddenly reminded.
"There is a suspicious defect inside the rocket. It is about to explode. Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
Sure enough, as Yinghuo's words fell, with a bang, the lower half of the rocket turned into a blazing fireball.
At the same time, the flames quickly spread to the upper part of the rocket. If nothing unexpected happened, the upper part of the spacecraft would be caught in the explosion within a few seconds, and the astronauts inside would undoubtedly die.
On the floating continent, the cheers of countless people who were watching the rocket launch in front of their TVs suddenly stopped.
But some of them had gloomy faces, but at the moment the rocket exploded, a look of ecstasy flashed across their faces.
"Good, great job. You are still thinking about contacting humans after all this. Those cowards who escaped ten thousand years ago, what qualifications do they have to deserve our continued loyalty? God Dur, only by believing in the great God Dur can you be saved."
"Long live the god Dur."
"Eliminate the remnants of humanity, and the world will belong to the god Dur."
But before they could be happy for a few seconds, what happened next on the live broadcast made the members of the secret Dur sect hiding on the floating continent stop talking abruptly.
This was accompanied by an explosion in the lower half of the rocket that just occurred.
At Lin Xu's signal, Mu Xiyue instantly disappeared from the cockpit of the Skylark.
The next moment, he appeared next to the exploding rocket.
Just as the explosion in the lower part of the rocket spread to the upper part, the rocket also tilted and fell.
Mu Xiyue stretched out one hand, and instantly a repulsive field defense wrapped around the lower half of the rocket.
As a result, the power generated by the explosion was suddenly confined to the lower part of the rocket and could no longer spread upwards.
At the same time, visible ice appeared on the rocket, directly reducing the high temperature transmitted along the rocket body.
After a series of operations, the small spaceship, which was only a dozen cubic meters in size and located in the upper part of the rocket, rolled out of the rocket body safely and was directly caught by Mu Xiyue in the air.
The only two astronauts in the spacecraft looked up through the window and could even see Mu Xiyue not far above.
So, Mu Xiyue grabbed a spaceship in the air with her hand, and with her other hand, she threw out the other half of the exploding rocket.
In this way, the small spaceship and the two astronauts were saved.
Domore on the Skylark was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Of course, he wasn't the only one whose eyes popped out.
Countless viewers who were watching the live broadcast on the floating continent, as well as the high-level descendants of the maintainers on the floating continent, also watched this scene.
When the rocket exploded at the beginning, several senior executives even closed their eyes in despair.
But then there were exclamations from all around.
After opening their eyes, they saw Mu Xiyue, who seemed only the size of a grain of rice, holding a spaceship in the air with one hand in the camera.
As the live camera zoomed in quickly, Mu Xiyue's appearance could finally be seen clearly.
Many senior executives even stood up.
"Human. This appearance means he is human." One of the senior executives was shaking with excitement.
The human-immortal clan to which Mu Xiyue belongs was originally created based on the appearance of humans, so they look exactly like humans. It is not surprising that they would be recognized by the descendants of the maintainers who are familiar with the appearance of humans.
After all, as Domore said before, as descendants of the Protectors, they have preserved much more information about humans.
"We can't be sure yet. There are many different races in the universe, and it's not uncommon for races to look exactly the same." Some people still remain cautious.
"Be cautious? The other party has already arrived at our door. Why should we be cautious at this time?" The leading man stood up directly.
"Okay, let's get ready to welcome them. Regardless of whether they are human or not, they are astronauts who saved us after all, and they deserve our warm welcome."
So the others looked at each other and stood up to show that they understood.
At the same time, Lin Xu on the Skylark, after thinking about it, also ordered the Skylark to remove the optical camouflage.
In an instant, the Skylark, which was over a hundred meters long, appeared in the air, not far from Mu Xiyue.
The live camera that was broadcasting Mu Xiyue's live broadcast instantly captured the scene of the Skylark appearing in the blink of an eye.
This caused another sensation among the people watching the live broadcast on the floating continent.
A group of senior executives who were watching the launch at the rocket launch site had already come to the stands outside, watching the process of the Skylark appearing in the blink of an eye on the big screen, with various lights flashing in their eyes.
But they are all mainly based on excitement.
Only some followers of the Dur sect who believed in the god Dur and even secretly sabotaged the rocket launch looked at the Skylark appearing on TV with undisguised anger in their eyes.
"Humans, they must be humans. They actually came back."
"How dare they come back? This world is now the domain of the god Dur. The outer gods are dead, and only the god Dur is the one true god. How dare a mere human come back? Aren't they afraid of the punishment from the god Dur?"
"But if this war star in the sky really belongs to humans, I heard that it was this war star that killed the outer gods." Someone also said worriedly.
"That only shows that the Outer God Yogg-sas is weak. In the past, we were deceived by the madness of the Outer Gods and thought that they were powerful. Now it seems that the so-called Outer Gods are nothing more than that."
"Yes, God Dur is great and invincible. Are you doubting the power of God Dur?"
"How is that possible? I am a devout believer of the god Dur. I believed in the god Dur earlier than you did. Don't spit on me."
"That's enough. This matter still needs to be reported to the church. Please ask the Archbishop to report the return of humans to God Dur. Everything will be decided by God."
The argument died down.
At the same time, Mu Xiyue in the sky had already landed on the rocket launch site of the floating continent with the spacecraft and the two astronauts inside.
The Skylark also landed at the same time .
At the same time Lin Xu and his companions got off the Skylark.
A group of high-ranking descendants of the maintainers came forward to greet them enthusiastically.
At the same time, they also saw Mu Xiyue obediently take a step back and stand behind Lin Xu.
All of a sudden, the senior executives who had already prepared their drafts began to draft them again in their minds.
Because it was obvious that the group of people who looked like humans in front of them were led by Lin Xu.
But before the senior executives could express their gratitude and welcome, Lin Xu spoke directly without following the routine.
"I heard that you are the descendants of the maintainers?"
Suddenly, the leader of the descendants of the maintainers, who was walking in front, paused.
But he nodded .
"Yes, I wonder who you are?"
"I am a human being. I want to know what happened ten thousand years ago. You should have some information here, right?" Lin Xu asked.
Several high-ranking members of the descendants of the maintainers looked at each other.
Finally he nodded.
"Yes, although we are not sure about your identity, there will be no problem if we just check the information." The leader said cautiously.
And these conversations were also broadcast through live cameras.
Suddenly, the entire floating continent was in uproar.
Many descendants of the Maintainers still know some legends about humans, but they are just legends.
Except for some specialized scholars or high-level officials, ordinary people's understanding of human beings is more like myths.
So when Lin Xu claimed to be a human being, the descendants of the maintainers who were watching this scene on the live broadcast felt as if they had seen a mythical being step into reality, and public opinion exploded in an instant.
However, Lin Xu no longer knew about this.
Because he had come to the archives of the descendants of the Maintainers under the arrangement of the senior leaders of the descendants of the Maintainers, where the most complete and richest information preserved by the descendants of the Maintainers was located.
There are even some film and television materials that can help Lin Xu completely restore everything that happened ten thousand years ago.
"Ten thousand years ago, this galaxy was full of disorder and filth. A large number of advanced civilizations collected chaotic energy at the high-dimensional weak point in the center of the river, and then used the chaotic energy. In the end, only disordered filth was left as residue. However, the advanced civilization did not deal with the disordered filth effectively, but directly discarded it in remote galaxies, causing the entire galaxy to be filled with disordered filth." The leader of the descendants of the maintainers was obviously very familiar with the history of ten thousand years ago. While Lin Xu was checking the information, he directly introduced it to him.
"Isn't this the same as the Milky Way? What happened later?" Nanzhu asked curiously, because in this galaxy now, except for the area within a hundred light years affected by the inert filth, she seemed to have not found any disordered filth.
"Later, humans came to us and began to restrain higher civilizations and clean up disordered filth. They used the power of higher dimensions to degenerate disordered filth into inert filth, and then disposed of the inert filth. They also accepted some higher civilizations as servant races. With the assistance of these servant races, the entire galaxy was soon renewed." At this point, the leader even puffed out his chest with pride.
The same goes for the other senior executives. It is obvious that they are very proud of what their ancestors did.
"Until there was only one last patch of disordered filth left, which was also the largest patch of disordered filth in the galaxy, stretching over more than ten light years."
"It must be this star field now." Nanzhu guessed it.
"That's right, it's this star field now. Just when humans were about to clean up the disorder and filth in this star field, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred, and they left this galaxy at the fastest speed." When the leader said this, his brows frowned.
"Accident? What accident?" Lin Xu's attention was also attracted.
The thing that made humans leave in a hurry should not be something in this river system, but something ahead? Lin Xu guessed.
"It's not clear. Even our ancestors didn't know what humans discovered that caused them to leave in such a hurry. It's just that before they left, humans organized all the human servant races into maintainers, and left a high-dimensional item for the maintainers, ordering the maintainers to use this high-dimensional item to first transform the disordered filth in this area into inert filth, and then clean up the inert filth. You will know what happened later." After saying that, the leader couldn't help but sigh.
"Where is the cleaner?" Lin Xu nodded and continued to ask.
"The Cleaners are the helpers that humans leave for the Maintainers, or they can also be called weapons. According to the Maintainers' instructions, the Cleaners will cleanse those advanced civilizations that do not follow the order and are everywhere disorderly and filthy, so as to maintain the order of the universe after humans leave."
"It's a pity that as the Maintainers were contaminated by inert filth and completely destroyed, only a few remnants remained on various planets and survived. The Maintainers also lost the ability to issue orders to the Cleansers. The current Cleansers will no longer accept orders from us, the descendants of the Maintainers." The leader said with a wry smile.
However, this group of descendants of the Maintainers, who were trapped on this planet ten thousand years ago, obviously have no idea what the Cleansers have done in the entire galaxy over the past ten thousand years.
Every thousand years, all civilizations are cleansed.
But forget it, Lin Xu didn’t plan to tell him.
So the question of maintainers and cleaners has been clarified, and now new questions arise.
Why did humans leave in a hurry thousands of years ago?
This was the first time that Lin Xu had seen something that could prompt humans to leave in a hurry.
Could it be that humans at that time encountered some danger?
Although he knew that humans had successfully upgraded their dimensions later on, and even if there was any danger at the time, it would definitely be a safe escape, but Lin Xu still couldn't help but be curious.
However, this can only be known after we find the remains left by humans in this river system and figure out the next direction of human navigation.
And just as Lin Xu was flipping through the information under the leader's introduction.
Suddenly, several people who looked like secretaries came quietly to the leader and whispered a few words.
The leader of the descendants of the maintainers' expression changed slightly in a strange way.
After hesitating for a moment, he still came to Lin Xu and said to Lin Xu.
"Mr. Lin Xu, the Archbishop of the Dur Cult, wants to see you."
"See me?" Lin Xu was a little surprised.
"Yes, they used the few remaining jet planes in the sect to rush here. It is said that they have an oracle that they want to convey to you." The leader said, his face becoming more and more strange.
"Oracle?" Lin Xu's face showed an expression of encountering something interesting.
