Volume 3 Chapter 280: The Civilization Leader Chosen by the Abyss
"Mr. Moss, can you fly a spaceship?" Kyle asked as he stood on the edge of a mine, looking at the spaceship inside that seemed to be still usable.
"Spacecraft are generally very intelligent and can be started with very little operation." Moss analyzed as he looked at the spacecraft below.
"That means it won't open anymore." Kyle understood the implication and said helplessly.
Then he looked at Miss Mello next to him.
Melo didn't wait for him to ask before replying, "I don't know how to do it either."
"Then what should we do? Are we trapped on this planet? How can we complete the mission?" Kyle scratched his head.
"The Lord God will not issue a task that cannot be completed." Mello said lightly.
"That's right. Since the Lord God has left us here, it means there is a way to complete the task here." Moss agreed.
"But our mission is to investigate the secrets hidden by the First Ruler of the Chenxing Empire. Where should we investigate?" Kyle felt like his head was about to explode.
"This is indeed difficult. According to the mission introduction, the Chenxing Empire is a huge empire spanning several river systems. The First Consul became the First Consul of the Chenxing Empire 100,000 years ago. Since then, he has been leading the empire in wars everywhere, until the empire's territory has expanded to its current size and the empire has been developed to its current size. And to investigate the secrets hidden by such a person, how can it be possible on such an abandoned planet?" Moss also found it incomprehensible.
Just when they were at a loss, the hatch of a spacecraft deep in the mine, which seemed to have been severely damaged in the collision, was suddenly kicked open by someone from the inside.
Moss, Mello and Kyle were planning to hide.
Suddenly, a prompt appeared on the main god panel, revealing that other main god players could collaborate on the task.
At the same time, four of the five figures who had just walked out of the hatch below were Long Ming, Wanli, Sancho and Xiao Xia. Their expressions suddenly froze, and then they looked in the direction of Moss, Melo and Kyle.
Obviously, these four people also knew that there were support personnel here through the Lord God’s reminder.
This also made the four of them breathe a sigh of relief. Since they had their own people, at least there were no enemies.
"Our people are here, don't worry, we will definitely rescue you." Sancho immediately said to the figure protected in the middle.
"Thank you." The figure nodded excitedly, and his frightened expression eased a little.
Then Sancho began waving at the edge of the mine.
"Here, we are."
"What should we do? Should we go over there?" Kyle looked at Moss and Mello.
"The Lord God left us here so that we can wait for these people, right? Do we have any choice?" Moss shrugged.
So the three of them jumped directly from the edge of the mine.
Boom, boom, boom, accompanied by smoke and dust, it landed at the bottom.
"You're finally here." Sancho walked over excitedly, grabbed Moss's hand, squeezed it tightly, and shook it up and down, then squeezed Kyle's hand tightly and shook it up and down.
When it came to Melo, he hesitated for a moment and changed to saying hello.
"Come, let me introduce you. These three are also members of our resistance army. And this one, as you can see, is the Third Consul of the Empire." Uncle Wanli also stepped forward and introduced Moss and the other two to the middle-aged figure who was being protected.
Then Moss, Mello and Kyle immediately understood what kind of resistance army they were now members of.
Although they don't know what the resistance is, they will try their best not to be exposed.
After all, disguising oneself into various identities is something that everyone is familiar with, whether in the period of domination or in the current period of the Lord God.
What surprised the three of them was that the person in front of them was actually the third ruler of the Chenxing Empire.
Kyle really wanted to ask how these guys in front of him, who were also Lord players, had lured the Third Consul here.
The Chenxing Empire is, after all, a vast empire spanning several galaxies, and the Third Consul appeared on such a remote abandoned mining planet.
However, the three of them understood why the mission to investigate the First Consul had sent them here.
It is obvious that the breakthrough point of the investigation lies in this third ruler.
However, before the two sides could communicate, Long Ming, who had been keeping vigilant watch on the surroundings, suddenly changed his expression. He raised his head and looked at the end of the sky, his face becoming heavy.
"They are catching up with us. We have to leave here immediately." Long Ming said as he reached out to the half-scrapped spaceship next to him.
Immediately, a small, intact magnetic levitation boat flew out from the spacecraft and stopped in front of the people.
Several people quickly boarded the powerboat. Although Moss, Melo and Kyle were still confused, they did not stop at all.
The third consul had a bitter expression on his face when he boarded the speedboat, but he had no choice but to do so in order to save his life.
The next moment, the powerboat slowly rose.
At the same time, several attack aircraft in the sky had broken through the atmosphere and discovered the crashed spacecraft below. They immediately fired a burst of plasma cannons at this place.
Boom boom boom sounds continued to explode around the power boat, completely shattering the relatively intact spacecraft and creating more deep pits on the surface.
At the same time, the powerboat had also taken off, and amid bursts of close explosions, it sped along the desolate land of the mining planet.
"Where are we going?" Kyle grabbed the handrail inside the powerboat and managed to steady himself from being thrown out.
If this is the case for him, a man who has been strengthened several times, let alone the third consul.
Although the Third Consul had also undergone a lot of genetic modifications and upgrades in the Chenxing Empire, he was still no match for Kyle. At this moment, apart from holding on to the armrests tightly and using the seat belt to secure himself to the seat, he was already accelerating and unable to speak.
"There is a shipyard ahead, and there are people there to pick us up. We should be able to get a spaceship from there," Sancho replied.
"Are the ones chasing us the Imperial Army? What exactly happened?" Moss asked puzzled.
Why did the Imperial Army hunt down its own Third Consul?
"Because the Third Consul discovered the First Consul's secret, he wanted to silence him."
"Secret? What secret?" Kyle asked in surprise.
"The First Consul has been parasitized. As early as one hundred thousand years ago, before he became the First Consul, he had already become the spokesperson for a more advanced civilization. And he is nothing more than a chain used by that more advanced civilization to control our Chenxing civilization." The speed of the powerboat stabilized, and the Third Consul, with anger flashing in his eyes, was finally able to speak.
"Parasitism? One hundred thousand years ago? That means the First Consul was no longer just himself from the very beginning?" Kyle was stunned. He didn't expect such an explosive thing .
A leader who commands an entire civilization was a spy-like existence from the very beginning?
So this is the secret of the First Consul?
However, the Lord God did not indicate that the task was completed.
That means that either the secret is wrong, or the First Consul has more secrets than just these.
While several people were protecting the Third Consul on the mining planet and avoiding the Empire's pursuit.
Millions of main god players are each carrying out their own tasks.
Some of these missions are similar to Kyle's, investigating the secrets hidden by the First Consul.
Some investigate the development of civilization and technology within the empire.
Some are even investigating the different policies implemented by the Chenxing civilization on different planets throughout the empire.
Lin Xu, who was located on the universe-traveling fortress, constantly used Mars to summarize the information investigated by the main god players and analyze the influence that the Abyss had exerted on this civilization with the help of the First Consul.
"Abyss is operating very carefully." Nanzhu looked at Yinghuo's various reports and concluded with some emotion.
"It is indeed very careful. The Abyss is eyeing the development potential of the Chenxing civilization. There is a chance that it will surpass the civilization and allow the Abyss to reap the rewards. If the Abyss interferes excessively during this period, it is very likely that the potential of the civilization will be aborted, which is not worth the loss for the Abyss." Arisa also said.
"So the Abyss chose the First Ruler. This way, it can maintain the Abyss' influence and control over the Chenxing civilization and facilitate the final harvest. At the same time, it should try not to interfere with the free development of Chenxing civilization's technology and reduce the probability of Chenxing civilization's premature death." Mu Xiyue also concluded.
"Then what should we do? Should we just kill the First Consul?" Lu Yao, who had just finished a big question, looked up with satisfaction and asked at the same time.
"Our goal is to capture the Abyss by following the connection between the Abyss and the Chenxing civilization. Killing the First Consul directly will sever this connection, which is equivalent to helping the Abyss." Lin Xu shook his head.
"Then how can we follow the connection and capture the abyss?" Nanzhu was a little confused.
"The key, of course, is the thing that is parasitic on the First Consul." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Is that something like the high-dimensional beacon that the Lord releases on the Lord's conquerors?" Nanzhu thought about it and found a similar existence that could be used for analogy.
"There are some similarities, but the high-dimensional beacons released by the abyss contain stronger high-dimensional power, and the connection between them and the abyss is also deeper. After all, the conquerors selected by the Overlord are often just casting a wide net and are not strict. However, the parasites selected by the abyss are all carefully selected, enough to lead the existence of an entire civilization." Lin Xu nodded and said.
"Then let's just find the First Consul and extract the parasitic high-dimensional beacon from him." Nanzhu said eagerly.
"It is indeed possible, but the high-dimensional beacons extracted in this way are inactive. If one is not careful, they may be destroyed if one uses too much force when tracking the abyss. If the First Consul himself can cooperate, maintaining the activity of the high-dimensional beacons parasitic on him will also be beneficial for tracking the abyss." Lin Xu said thoughtfully.
"The First Consul will cooperate? There's no way he will cooperate, right?" Nanzhu felt that it was impossible no matter how hard he thought about it.
"It was originally impossible, but what if the Abyss is trying every means to get rid of him? If only we can save him, maybe he will be willing to cooperate." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"You mean those who come from other beyond civilizations." Nanzhu said with his eyes lighting up.
Speaking of which, it was Nanzhu who first discovered this matter. After all, she is now in charge of the daily management of the main god space.
Therefore, through the deployment of the main god players, Nanzhu discovered that in the universe where the Chenxing civilization was located, there were suddenly many more traces of the arrival of people from the outer universe.
These traces clearly carry the energy signs of the transcendent civilizations that they encountered when they were chasing the Abyss before.
So if nothing unexpected happens, these adventers should be released by those beyond civilization.
The purpose of sending the Adventers to this universe must be to help the Abyss, sever the connection with the Chenxing civilization, and help the Abyss escape from Lin Xu's hands.
The simplest way is to directly kill the First Consul, the tentacles of the abyss left in the Chenxing civilization.
Without this tentacle, the connection between the Abyss and the civilization of Chenxing would be largely severed.
It will not be bound by the Chenxing civilization.
At the same time, in the deep space of the outer universe, numerous transcendent civilizations are communicating over long distances through ripples on the surface of higher dimensions.
"The Abyss has agreed. They will delay the humans for as long as possible for us."
"Abyss, oh abyss, there will be a day when you will become a chess piece!"
A group of people beyond civilization sighed.
"Have you sent out all your men?"
"Of course, helping Abyss sever the connection with the anchor point will not only weaken Abyss, but also help him hold on longer. Such a good thing must be done immediately."
"Don't be careless. If the people you send out are captured by humans, be careful that they will be caught by humans."
"Of course, I don't want to replace the Abyss and become the prey of humans, so the ones sent out this time are all the most elite members. Moreover, before they set off, I have already taken away their high-dimensional beacons, making them disposable consumables." A voice sounded.
"Nightmare, you are willing to give it up." Another existence laughed.
"They are called elite troops, but they are still just props." Nightmare didn't care about the personnel he sent out becoming disposable props. Compared with his own safety, some tools were nothing.
"Nightmare Space, although your path is different from that of the Overlord and you will not devour the universe, you are also good at deploying the Adventers and relying on destroying civilization to obtain high-dimensional power. But I still don't understand why you don't graze and harvest civilization like the Abyss, but instead insist on looking for prey." A voice asked in confusion.
"Of course it's because it's more fun this way!" Nightmare Space replied without comment.
