Volume 3 Chapter 169: Demon (Human) Summoning Array
The three planets are folded together in a space-folding manner.
From a distance, it seems incredible as if you are in me and I am in you.
Of course, this is the shape of the three planets seen in space.
When Lin Xu and his companions really approached the planet, especially after entering the planet's atmosphere, the three planets that were originally stacked up together disappeared before their eyes.
What appeared in front of them was just a planet.
"We have now entered the space where one of the planets is located, so we can only see this planet, right?" Nanzhu looked around at the space and guessed.
"That's right, the other two planets are still here, but they belong to different spaces. We are in the space where this planet is located, and we can't see the two planets in the other two spaces for the time being." Lin Xu answered more clearly than Nanzhu from a high-dimensional perspective.
"Then what's the meaning of these three planets being folded together?" Lu Yao asked puzzledly.
"Meaning, isn't that the meaning!" Lin Xu pointed to a tall tower in the sky not far away in the atmosphere.
I saw countless figures wearing various weapons rushing towards the tall tower.
There were not even just solitary figures, but large numbers of organized armed personnel, clearly officially organized, also pouring into the tower.
From a high-dimensional perspective, Lin Xu could see more clearly that the people who entered the tower crossed the space in the blink of an eye and arrived at the planet in the middle of the three folded planets.
At the same time, in addition to this planet, the civilization on another planet also has armed personnel constantly pouring into the high tower of that planet, and then being teleported to the planet in the middle.
The tower is like a space elevator connecting three planets, transporting members of two civilizations on two planets to the middle planet.
At this time, a brutal war was taking place on the planet in the middle.
"So, the so-called arena is the planet in the middle? The Apocalypse Clan is using space technology to pull the planets where the two civilizations that are about to confront each other are located to the vicinity of the arena, and then let the two civilizations step onto the arena to start a brutal knockout round." Nanzhu blinked, having guessed why there were three planets folded together here.
"That's right, the planet we are on now is the mother planet of one of these civilizations." Lin Xu nodded and said.
"Lord Lin Xu, why don't we go directly to the planet in the middle? Isn't the war taking place on that planet?" Nanzhu asked puzzledly.
"Yes, but I saw some interesting things on this planet, so I wanted to come and see it." Lin Xu explained with a smile.
"Interesting things? What is it?" Nanzhu asked in surprise.
Something that Lin Xu found interesting also piqued the interest of Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao.
"Let's go and take a look and you'll know." Lin Xu said, continuing to fly into the planet's atmosphere.
Soon, the five people arrived in front of a huge industrial facility.
It was a huge industrial park the size of several cities, with various industrial facilities densely packed inside and giant machinery the size of an entire city.
At this moment, this giant machine is in the process of being awakened.
Along with the roars coming from various parts of the giant machinery, indicator lights on various circuits began to flash.
The entire giant machine seemed to "come alive", emitting huge air pressure and slowly starting to move and rise.
"Can it really work? Summon a cosmic demon human?"
"We don't have any choice, do we?"
"We are losing ground on the front lines of the arena. If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy civilization will soon cross the arena and attack our homeland. Once the war reaches our home planet, we will definitely lose."
"I don't want our civilization to end here, nor do I want our descendants to become a wandering race in the universe without seeing the sun. This is our last chance. Summon humans."
"But humans were originally expelled by gods. If we borrow the power of humans, will we be rejected by gods?" someone worriedly said.
"Instead of worrying about being rejected by the gods, it is better to survive first." Another person sighed.
For a moment, all the people who were talking in the wide hall fell silent.
"Is this really the only way for us to go?"
"God does not show mercy to losers. Only demons can be brought back to life." Someone said with a wry smile.
"Well, that's the best way."
Then, as the order was given, countless workers started running inside the entire giant machine.
Everyone got to their positions as quickly as possible; there was no time to waste.
"What is this? A nanorobot?" Nanzhu looked at the huge machine and his eyes widened instantly.
It's not that the giant machine was built by nanobots.
But inside that huge machine, in addition to the apocalypse elements used for driving, there are actually circulating nanorobots in many parts.
Just when the few people except Lin Xu were amazed at the nanorobots on this huge machine.
A space jump channel suddenly opened up in the space around the few people.
A female figure belonging to the Apocalypse tribe stepped across the space jump channel and came to the side of the few people.
She was a beautiful and elegant woman from the Apocalypse tribe. Although there were some differences in appearance between the Apocalypse tribe and humans, she was very beautiful even from a human's aesthetic point of view.
The cloak-like garment that wraps the whole body reveals a slender figure.
There was not a single flaw in his appearance. There was a vertical crack on his forehead, and his third eye was closed but not open.
As soon as she appeared, she spoke directly without any hesitation.
"The Demon Summoning Array, this is the name given to this giant mechanism by their civilization." said the female Apocalypse.
"Demon summoning array?"
Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao looked at each other, and for a moment they were completely confused as to what this thing had to do with summoning demons.
"Have you forgotten that humans are called demons?" Lin Xu reminded with a smile.
"Oh, yes, so this is used to summon humans." Nanzhu suddenly realized.
“Ahem, regarding humans being called demons, it wasn’t something we did on purpose. They just lied to us.” The female Apocalypse looked a little embarrassed.
"So they want to summon humans?" Lin Xu confirmed.
"No, to be precise, it is the power to summon humans." The female Apocalypse looked at the demon summoning array with interest in her eyes.
"Summon the power of humans?" Lin Xu was a little confused.
"Because you humans left, we decided to eliminate the related skill rewards evolved by the nanorobots in the God and Demon Arena, and destroyed . Then we replaced the nanorobots with apocalypse elements and evolved similar reward skills."
"It's just that the Apocalypse Elements are not nanorobots after all. There are many things that nanorobots are good at that the Apocalypse Elements are not perfect at. For example, skills like immortal magic, no matter how the Apocalypse Elements simulate, are still a little bit worse than nanorobots."
"So gradually, some rumors began to spread in the Arena of Gods and Demons. The cosmic demon humans possess powerful forbidden powers. Humans were once expelled because they were feared by the gods. And if you can master the power of humans, you will definitely be able to win in the Arena of Gods and Demons." The female Apocalypse said, turning her head to look at Lin Xu.
"So, there should be quite a few people who have tried to summon human power, right?" Lin Xu guessed.
"Yes." The female Apocalypse nodded.
"Aren't you going to stop it?" Lin Xu asked puzzledly.
"No, on the contrary, we don't mind them exploring more about higher-dimensional forces. We even hope that they can explore more deeply." said the female Apocalypse, gazing at the giant machine below.
"Exploration of the application of high-dimensional power?" Lin Xu asked in surprise.
"Yes, our goal is to observe their application of the high-dimensional power of the Apocalypse Elements to find our own way to ascend to another dimension. How can we stop them from trying to apply the high-dimensional power?" replied the female Apocalypse.
While they were talking, the giant machine below was activated under the power of the entire race.
The apocalypse element in the giant machine is running, driving the entire huge machine.
And in some parts of the giant machine, there are nanorobots.
However, these nanorobots are not used to drive huge machines like the Apocalypse Elements.
Instead, this race found them from somewhere unknown, wrapped them in apocalypse elements, and used them to locate the coordinates of forces similar to nanorobots in higher dimensions.
This civilization itself has not reached the level to explore higher dimensions.
However, with the help of the elements of apocalypse, many things can be done that can only be done by civilizations that have mastered some high-dimensional powers.
For example, searching for similar power in high dimensions like this.
"There's no way this will succeed." Lin Xu frowned.
"It is impossible to succeed, but this idea is worth observing. The reason why they failed is most likely because they are too weak. What if they were stronger?" The female Apocalypse who introduced herself as Daisy replied.
"It's impossible. The higher dimensions are too vast. Searching like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Lin Xu shook his head and said.
"Yes, the higher dimensions are really too vast, but excellent ideas are still worth learning from." Daisy still has a different opinion.
As he said this, he looked at Lin Xu and spoke again.
"Compared to this method of relying on the ideas of countless races to help yourself find the right path, you seem to advocate constantly breaking through your own limits to find the way. No, it's not just you who advocates this, it seems that all of you humans think this way."
"Indeed, but we are also observing. For example, when you reduced your dimension, we came here specifically to observe." Lin Xu shrugged.
"Yes, so sometimes I also feel that we not only need to rely on external forces, but also work hard to break through ourselves. However, the Apocalypse Clan now has completely lost the motivation to make progress." Daisy sighed as she spoke.
For a moment, Lin Xu didn't even know how to respond.
At the same time, the demon summoning performed by the giant machine below also reached a critical moment.
It attracted the attention of several people.
I saw a huge column of light rising into the sky.
And in that beam of light, various images emerged one after another.
There were various figures, using various immortal spells.
Whether it is flying swords, various magical weapons, or supernatural powers, everything is available.
Of course, this is not the civilization below that has really searched for human power in the higher dimension.
Instead, they used the elements of apocalypse to stimulate the past memories within the nanorobots that they used as sacrifices.
Those were images of these nanorobots evolving various immortal skills for the intelligent beings that were rewarded with skills in the Arena of Gods and Demons.
But later, as these nanorobots no longer evolved skills as rewards for the Gods and Demons Arena, they were either destroyed or scattered everywhere and disappeared.
Skills like the Immortal Path and so on are almost extinct in the arena of gods and demons.
I don’t know where this civilization below found these nanorobots.
In short, along with the pillars of light in the sky, various skills evolved by nanorobots appeared.
The civilization below that was presiding over this demon summoning was already beginning to get excited.
They thought they could really summon the power of the devil and lead their civilization to glory.
Unfortunately, as time passed, the same scenes remained in the sky, but the demonic power they expected did not descend.
"Great cosmic demon human, we believe in you devoutly and long for your mercy."
"Great human, the most evil being in the universe, our race is willing to give you everything."
"Humanity is supreme, humanity dominates everything, and humanity alone is eternal."
The high-ranking member of the civilization who presided over the summoning prayed loudly to the demon summoning circle.
The sound was transmitted through the loudspeaker to every corner of the giant machine.
Hearing this, Lin Xu in the sky frowned.
"The most evil existence in the universe? This is simply a blatant slander." Nanzhu shouted angrily.
Mu Xiyue even held the sword in her hand. If Lu Yao hadn't held her back, she would have rushed down directly.
Openly saying that humans are evil or something like that, although Lin Xu, as a human being, was not very happy about this kind of thing, he was able to deal with it calmly.
On the contrary, Nanzhu and Mu Xiyue, who are members of the human family, cannot accept this kind of slander against humans.
It’s like some people can just laugh it off magnanimously if you insult them, but will fight you to the death if you insult their idol.
In short, the civilization below that was still praying devoutly did not know that it had already walked through the gates of hell.
They still hope that humans can give them strength and save them from danger.
"You Apocalypse people are really amazing. You openly slander others when they are not around." Nanzhu couldn't help but said sarcastically to Daisy beside him.
"We never said that humans are demons. They just spread it all by themselves." Daisy immediately defended.
If an ordinary civilization below had any misunderstandings about the Apocalypse, she would probably not even bother to refute, let alone explain, or would completely ignore it, or simply wipe out that civilization.
But this option is not explained.
However, Nanzhu now represents humans, who have been recognized by the Apocalypse Clan as being qualified to be on equal footing with the Apocalypse Clan.
Then Daisy would definitely have to explain. After all, the Apocalypse Clan also has to save face. Being treated like a villain by beings of the same level, they definitely can't just accept it.
Of course, one thing that the Apocalypse Clan will not admit is that when facing humans, the Apocalypse Clan now actually implicitly places humans in a higher position than them.
After all, after meeting Lin Xu, the Apocalypse Clan knew that humans have indeed reached a higher dimension.
They are a higher level existence than the Apocalypse Clan which has already been downgraded.
It’s just that the Apocalypse Clan is too concerned about their reputation and will never admit it.
"In fact, the first people to call humans demons and define humans as evil were a race of servants left behind by you humans." Daisy further explained in order to prove the innocence of the Apocalypse people.
"A servant race of humans?" Lin Xu frowned.
Nanzhu, who originally wanted to continue to be sarcastic, stopped and no longer cared about being sarcastic.
Because if it was really as Daisy said, it would be a complete betrayal.
They were a servant race of humans, but they betrayed humans.
But why is this?
"That's right. They are the servant races of you humans. When you humans were still in this galaxy, you also accepted several servant races. They were all the victorious civilizations in the competition in the God and Demon Arena. The vast majority of these civilizations joined the Apocalypse Clan and became our servants. A few of them were selected to become our followers." As Daisy spoke, she looked back at the universe.
Outside the atmosphere there, there are several intelligent beings of different appearances and races waiting there.
Obviously, those are the members of the Apocalypse clan.
"Only a few chose to become servants of humans." Lin Xu nodded in understanding.
"That's right. Humans at that time were not the same as they are now. At that time, humans had not yet upgraded to another dimension. Although they were able to master some high-dimensional powers, they were still nothing in front of the Apocalypse. So although they helped us build the Gods and Demons Arena, the Gods and Demons Arena was still dominated by us." Daisy said this, looking at Lin Xu with a complicated look in her eyes.
Because no one could have imagined that humans, who were considered younger brothers in the eyes of the Apocalypse Clan ten thousand years ago, would actually upgrade their dimensions so quickly.
"It seems that humans did not leave after building the God and Demon Arena." Lin Xu nodded and said.
"Yes, humans have hosted some competitions between civilizations. Although they eventually disagreed with our ideas and chose to leave, before that, some civilizations that passed the assessment of the Gods and Demons Arena chose to become servants of humans, but no race was chosen as a clan. Until humans left, those servant races also chose to stay." Daisy continued to explain.
"It seems that they really regret choosing to become servants of humans." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Yes, so when we began to understand the various skills manifested by the nanorobots in the Arena of Gods and Demons, some races that were once servants of humans, in order to show that they had completely parted ways with humans, fabricated rumors that humans were demons and spread them everywhere." Daisy explained the cause of the matter.
"This is for you to see." Lin Xu nodded in understanding.
"That's right. Actually, we don't care. Whether they do it or not, in our eyes, there is no difference. It's just that they themselves obviously don't think so. Before doing this, they are always terrified, as if they are always worried that we will clean them out the next moment. After doing this, they feel more at ease and feel that they have become our own people. But in fact, no matter what they do, we will clean them out when it is time to clean them up, and we will not clean them up if we don't think it is necessary. It has nothing to do with whether they have completely broken with their previous owner." Daisy concluded.
Lin Xu remained very calm about this.
On the contrary, Nanzhu and Mu Xiyue were already very angry.
It looks like if the timing wasn't wrong, they would probably rush out directly, find those rebellious civilizations, and punish them directly.
"In fact, it's nothing if they choose to side with you after humans left, but they smear humans as a token of their allegiance, which makes people feel disgusted ." Lin Xu shook his head and said.
"There is one more thing. Before you humans left, you left them the coordinates of your next destination. Since you are following in the footsteps of humans, you may need to find them and get the coordinates." Daisy continued.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xu's eyes. Didn't humans only leave coordinates but leave no relics in this river system?
But then he understood that there were Apocalypse tribesmen in this river system. Considering that humans had not yet upgraded their abilities ten thousand years ago, even if there were any relics left, they would probably be discovered by the Apocalypse tribesmen and then opened.
In this case, it would be better not to leave any remains but just leave coordinates.
As for the relics, they are left in the river system at the next target location.
Of course, this is just Lin Xu’s guess for now. It is not certain whether humans have left any relics here.
But no matter what, it is necessary for Lin Xu to go to the place where the servant civilization that once betrayed and discredited humanity is.
While in the sky, the two sides were having a conversation containing a huge amount of information.
The giant machine below that was summoning cosmic demon humans finally exhausted the energy of the apocalypse elements within it after a long period of unsuccessful attempts to summon demonic power.
Under the desperate eyes of countless people, the demon summoning array composed of giant machines slowly closed.
They failed.
"The record has been completed. This is a high-dimensional force application ." Daisy nodded with satisfaction.
It was as if a civilization's desperate struggle could bring her a little enlightenment, which was already a matter of pride for this civilization.
