From star abyss

I don’t know when it started, but Xingyuan’s TV programs became more and more strange.

"The 'Nine Clans' type biological purification network, produced by Imperial Military Industry, is the best choice for interstellar development and is worthy of your trust..."

Nomi looked at the shopping ads boredly, not because she was very interested in this kind of thing that could kill the whole family, but just to divert her attention.

"To be honest, the group's stock price suddenly plummeted this time. It was obviously a premeditated short sale. Whether Red King is in Layyuan or not has nothing to do with the stock price. This is self-directed and self-directed, cutting off retail investors' money..."

This priest from the Temple of Annihilation is called Lista Kacha. He has been chattering beside her since just now.

This person has some conspiracy theories. As a priest, he does not want to preach and attract people. Instead, he is keen to study international politics and the ecology of interstellar civilization every day.

Although Nomi has served in the Allied Forces for 277 months, she has already met all kinds of strange comrades-in-arms, but she still can't accept a crazy person like Lista.

"Although on the surface, the Layer Abyss United Army can continue and stably carry out large-scale military operations, but behind the scenes, the three Layer Abyss narratives are all competing for the right to speak."

Lista slowly moved the crystal ball magic weapon with her 12 fingers, and kept saying strange things in her mouth:

"For example, Wellington Doubler, the operational staff officer of the Centaur-101 Space Brigade, was a spy planted by the Imperial Prince Regent, while the brigade commander, Darwin Rival, was a Silver Dragon noble from the Zhenglong Banner of the old group. The superior person named by Red King... Do you think it is unusual for such characters to gather together in a space combat brigade and have two flagships to perform tasks? There is a reason behind this. "

"Yes, yes yes."

Nomi nodded numbly.

"I said Nomi, you are not a native of the empire, and you are not a believer in the imperialist narrative. How can you think of joining the coalition?"

Lista seemed to sense Nomi's listlessness and simply changed the topic:

"The benefits of the empire are not low, right? For a citizen of a franchise country like you who has not outstanding abilities and talents and does not have a letter of recommendation from a higher education institution, wouldn't it be good to stay in the empire's inherent time zone? You can receive at least two resurrections. Welfare coupons.”

"I'm having a good time in the Empire."

"Then why did you come out? You don't have faith, and you don't lack income - oh, I understand, you are just pursuing a wonderful encounter -"

"——I want to beat up the earth guy."

Nomi said calmly:

"There is no such unnecessary reason. The earthlings and evil gods killed our people. I want to walk back. It's that simple."

Lista shrugged:

"Okay, you can embellish your words as much as you want, but your heart won't lie."

"You read my mind?"

Nomi gave Lista a cold look.

"Don't get me wrong, dear comrade, this is the biological instinct of our spirit race. Any emotional fluctuations in your soul and mind cannot be hidden from us."

Lista quickly explained:

"I'm just curious and don't understand. Your fluctuations prove that you are lying, but I am very sure that you are not a spy or insider for any party - so, what are you fighting for?"

"This has nothing to do with you."

"I'm just curious, but if you can share, maybe I can help you."

Nomi glanced at the Eldar woman, turned her head, looked at the TV projection, and said slowly:

"I come from the Blue Star, a planet that was destroyed by the people on Earth."

"It was a broken, poor, and backward uncivilized planet. Such a planet would be destroyed by millions every day in the universe. Its destruction should not attract any attention."

"But before it was destroyed, a legendary warrior saved it from the apocalypse and set things right, allowing the surviving people to rebuild their homes under the sunshine of order."

"The legendary warrior promised to protect the Blue Star forever. He won the battle to found the country, spread the religion based on him, cultivated a large number of [Echoers] who manipulated arcane energy, and continuously transported these troops to Everywhere in the universe. Everything is thriving, as if under the protection of this uncrowned emperor, a bright future is just around the corner.”

When he said this, Nomi paused.

"Unfortunately, even if we work very hard to develop, Azure Star will eventually be unable to catch up with the speed of invasion by the people on Earth."

"It was completely destroyed."

"This time, the warrior who guarded the Blue Star twice never showed up."

"Some say he is dead, some say that he dived into the Star Abyss in pursuit of more powerful power. Some say that his pattern has become so big that he doesn't care about his homeland at all. Some even say that he is not Azure at all. Starman, but the reincarnation of a certain god."

"But one thing's for sure: He broke his promise."

Nomi shook the armrest unconsciously, exuding a dangerous aura.

After a few seconds, she suddenly said again.

"But none of this is important to me."

Click——

She picked up a can of cold beer and said vaguely while drinking:

"No one is a wanderer these days who has lost his country and his family. To put it bluntly, people have saved us twice, and we have no obligation to ask such a powerful person to continue to help us without hesitation. To put it bluntly: This is People of this level are not accessible to us. Even if we sell the planet, we still won’t be able to pay back the selling fee, so what else can I say? Right, what can I say——"

Bang!

A series of complaints came out like a barrage of cannons, and Nomi slammed the wine can on the coffee table.

"Hold!"

Lista shrank from Nomi's aura.

"It's all because we ourselves are not strong enough."

Nomi opened her palms and clenched her fists:

"If any of us has his talent, then there is no need to expect others to intervene when the Blue Star faces another crisis."

"I actually knew it a long time ago. I knew it when I was wandering in the wasteland and was captured by the experimental institution for research. Hope cannot be placed on others. It can only be achieved by punching it out with your fucking fists. !”

"but……"

She reluctantly let go of her hand, held her forehead, and murmured to herself:

"This is not a boring third-rate fantasy novel. It is already a miracle that he will appear on the Azure Star. It is impossible for a second one to appear - even if there is, it will have to be hundreds of thousands of years later."

"In this star abyss, everything is destined."

"Among the remnants of the Blue Star, even I can be considered the best person. Even if most people had a passionate fighting spirit in their early years, over the past hundred years, they have lost the motivation to fight - not because of lack of effort, but because of lack of effort. Even if we put in millions of times the effort of ordinary people, even if we take desperate risks, we still cannot compare with the carefully selected talents of God.”

"At this time, we realized that the Blue Star was taken to a height that did not belong to it by that person, and my homeland was destined to be destroyed. We are not special, nor are we the protagonists of the story. This endless star There is no stage for us.”

Nomi murmured, inserting her fingers into her bun. Alcohol could not make her feel intoxicated now, but she became more and more confused as she recounted:

"If you had known that we would be here today, why did you want to save us in the first place? Why did you have to give us hope to live? You already knew that without you, we would be insignificant in the universe, right?"

"The only thing driving me now is the hope of finding him and asking him about this."

"Is saving our home just a casual thing for you?"

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and cold.

"Well……"

Lista scratched her head. She was originally just out of curiosity to inquire about this human girl's past, and then made some jokes to relieve the pressure of her military life.

But now it seems that the other party is getting more and more anxious as she talks. If she keeps talking like this, she might get caught up in the conversation and slap her, which will be more than worth the loss.

"I wonder if you're alive now anyway, isn't it pretty good?"

Lista tried to comfort her:

"In this day and age, living is a good thing——"

"——My arcane power is immortality."

Nomi said calmly:

"Living is not happiness to me, but torture. I will not die, but the pain I suffer will accumulate day and night - aren't you curious why I rush to the front every time?"

"It's simple, I want to die so much."

"I tried every method, but even if I got into a black hole, someone would fish out my fragments five years later. I relied on less than 21 bits of information to grow flesh and blood from the computer and came back to life. ”

"The evil god can't kill me, society can't kill me, the poisonous blood of the people on earth can only make me slow to react, but other than these, I don't have any abilities."

"For me, the greatest use of immortality is to serve as fuel and food."

Nomi lay on the sofa with her head up:

"The more I want to die, the more I have to go to dangerous places, but the more I cannot die in dangerous places, the more powerful my immortality will become. This ability comes from arcana, and no one can study it. The more I understand its principle, the more I strengthen my immortality. Now...hehe, I can't even be deprived of it."

"Just imagine, this ability, given to anyone with talent, can play a greater role than me. A smart person can become an eternal wise man and transform the world if he gets it. A powerful person can protect the planet if he gets it. Yuan Universe.”

"But it was given to me. I, a useless mediocre person, can't do anything even if I can't die. And those people who should have played a greater role, I can only watch them die."

"Why did you give this ability to me? What's the use of giving it to me? Let me, an incompetent person, watch the world collapse and disintegrate little by little, but I can't do anything?"

"I will never grow old or die, and my thinking has long been solidified. I cannot adapt to life with the mind of an immortal species. I have long lost all the meaning of my existence as a human being."

"So I don't feel happy to be alive."

Nomi drank beer and said coldly:

"My life is full of failures, even suicide failed, which makes you laugh."

"...I'm sorry, Nomi, I didn't expect such a thing behind my back."

Lista said regretfully:

"So, you join the war not only to question that person, but also to seek the end of life? To seek relief?"

Nomi did not answer directly.

She was silent for a while and then said:

"There is a person who makes a promise with me that is better than killing me."

She held the beer can in both hands and whispered:

"I hope she, or he, or maybe He, doesn't break that promise."

Lista patted her shoulder gently:

"The immortality that countless people pursue is endless pain for you. People who long for death cannot die, and people who long for life often die young - this world is really ironic."

When she wanted to continue to comfort her, the host who was chattering in the projection suddenly straightened up and said seriously:

"——Insert a piece of news. The leader of the Yuanyuan Federation, Leoz, gathered elite troops to dive into the Yuanyuan. Experts said: This behavior is not limited to a local conflict, and is likely to escalate into a full-scale invasion..."

"It's begun."

Lista’s conspiracy theory personality comes back again:

"This must be Yuanyuan's plan. The Yuanyuan Federation has gained a firm foothold. It is impossible to rush to start a war. There must be someone provoking behind this to prompt Commander Leoz to send troops. But he did not bring a large number of troops. It must be Le Anding The conspiracy is to catch them all in one fell swoop..."

Knock knock——

There was a knock on the door of the lounge, and a gentle boy said:

"Excuse me, is Lieutenant Nomi Anderson Guessett here?"

"Who is it?" Lista called back: "It's shift vacation time now. If you have nothing to do, please don't disturb our rest. Thank you."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, girls, that wasn't my intention."

The man smiled apologetically and said:

"I am Mistofin, the regent of the empire. Since you are resting, I will not come in to talk."

"Hey, you know what's going on."

Lista muttered, turned her head, and realized something was wrong after a moment:

"——Idiot!"

Knock knock.

"Miss Nomi."

The voice of Imperial Crown Prince Mistofin came from outside:

"His Majesty the Philosopher King asked me to bring you something. I hope you can listen to it."

"The savior god Le'anding is turning our world into a living hell, and the star tyrant Leoz will push our world to destruction."

"It is necessary to comply with the destiny and survive, so that the green mountains are still there."

"Or, resist fate - even if the latter will burn you to death?"

"Now that these two paths are before you, it's up to you how to choose."

"Oh, no need to wonder why you."

Mistofin stated calmly:

"Because in the Endless Star Abyss, everything is already destined."

"Whether it's Leos, Leandin, or you and me, narrative civilizations, no one can escape the prison of fate."

"Even the act of defying fate is only possible with the permission of the Supreme Observer."

Nomi's pupils shrank.

She stood up and found that she was no longer in the lounge of the battleship. Looking around, she seemed to be in the endless ocean of data. The sound of endless data transmission was like fierce lava flowing down from the iceberg. Cold and heat play a magnificent movement passionately.

"No need to worry about it, Nomi Anderson Guessett."

The golden throne suddenly emerged from the sea of ​​data. The monarch slumped on the throne spoke to her in an extremely calm voice:

"I am the fifth generation philosopher king of the empire. As you can see, my life has come to an end."

Nomi stared blankly ahead. She had endless doubts in her heart and couldn't help but ask:

"Why--"

"Why me? Because you were chosen."

"Why would I-"

"Why do I appear here? This is the extended ability of [Sequence: Destiny], which can transmit my will across the star abyss to the lower levels."

"Your purpose——"

"What is your purpose? It's very simple. I want to complete my mission in the last stage of my life."

"Who put you -"

"Who beat you like this? No one hurt me, I just chose to be included in the grand narrative so that Mistofin could take over smoothly. He is more suitable for the upcoming cosmic war than me."

Nomi stopped talking.

Before she even opened her mouth, His Majesty the Philosopher King already knew what she was going to ask.

"No need to panic, kid. I have no ill intentions, only pure utility."

The philosopher king's speech was extremely rational, without any emotional ups and downs:

"Before we start the formal topic, I want to ask you a question: Whose star abyss do you think this is?"

Nomi said without thinking:

"The Yuanyuan regime headed by Lord Lian Ding! They are the legal rulers of Star Abyss today."

"This is a fallacy."

The philosopher king said:

"The true ruler is the one who never ends up himself, watching with cold eyes as the main god falls, the alien abyss collapses, and the earth's invaders advance triumphantly."

"Is there really such a thing? No, you mean..."

Nomi frowned:

"Star Will?"

"Have you ever thought about why Xingyuan separated six major gods and six levels of Xingyuan and sent them to strengthen the defense line, instead of creating an absolutely powerful spokesperson and a unified universe in one go, just like the earth? , wouldn’t it be easier to fight against the invaders?”

Nomi was dumbfounded:

"I...I'm not good at reading, and I've never thought about this kind of problem."

"Because if the Star Abyss is unified and the main gods are united, then there will be no need for the Star Abyss Will to exist."

"What does this mean?"

"Star Abyss Will, also known as Source Abyss Will, Creator, First Driving Force... But in fact, Source Abyss Will is not an independent conscious individual. If the inner and outer Star Abyss universes of the Six Abysses and Thirteen Narratives are regarded as a huge computer system, then Star Abyss Will does not play the role of a creator."

The Philosopher King said:

"Star Abyss Will does not exist in Star Abyss."

"...What is this?"

"Will the person who edits program software and designs computers be an NPC in a computer game?"

Nomi was silent for a moment, and suddenly realized what the other party said:

"Do you mean to say that Star Abyss Will is not an existence born in Star Abyss?"

"The power of fate has given me extremely strong computing power. I used pure mathematical formulas and spent four hundred years to deduce the most original Star Abyss model - maybe other abilities have limits, but mathematics has no limits. There is a limit. "

The Philosopher King lifted a finger from the armrest of the throne and wrote lines of characters and formulas in the air weakly:

"I spent four hundred years calculating and sixty years verifying. Until the establishment of the Yuanyuan Federation, I finally confirmed it."

"When Xingyuan was first created, Xingyuan's will immediately appeared in this world, but it was not formed naturally, but entered this chaotic space through access rights. At the same time, the chaotic space also completed the double helix system structure in an instant. This situation is enough to explain the possibility. If the ecological data of the chaotic space is imported into the formula at this time, two identical results can be obtained, and such results come from two different source codes."

"To put it bluntly:"

"Xingyuan universe is the universe created by the earthlings."

"And the earth universe is the universe created by the Xingyuan people."

Compared to complex inferences, the results are more shocking.

Nomi stared at the golden formula written in the air by the Philosopher King in a daze, unable to express what he was thinking.

"Are the Earth and the Star Abyss one family?"

"You can understand that the roots of the two are the same. The will of the Star Abyss and the will of the Earth... let's call them Abyss and Gaia."

The Philosopher King considered his words and explained more easily:

"The two universes of the Earth and the Star Abyss are the source of everything. They are the beginning of the myriad creations of the world. If these two original things did not attract and collide with each other, nothing would happen."

"However, all this is based on the premise that the Earth and the Star Abyss are still excellent."

"The task of the Destroyer is to prevent the various universes from having too much redundant information and to clean it up regularly. From this perspective, they are the most correct existence of all things in the universe."

"Whether it is the Earth or the Star Abyss, these two oldest emperors and gods , has entered into decay."

"Decay, what does it mean?"

"Aging, fatigue, stubbornness, lack of fresh blood and vitality."

The Philosopher King said simply:

"Without this kind of power, the Star Abyss and the Earth should be cleaned up and reformed by the Destroyers, and restarted again, so as to ensure the maintenance of the ecosystem of the entire double helix universe."

"However, Abyss and Gaia, these two beings are reluctant to have their works cleared, and they choose to maintain the continuation of this double helix system in their own way."

"The Earthling Abyss came to the source of the chaotic era and divided his will into six, turning into the six main gods of destruction, fine art, weirdness, plunder, redemption, and domination."

"The Star Abyss Gaia came to the earth when chaos first began, opened up the world, and turned all the essence and flesh into the spirit of heaven and earth, that is, It's human beings."

"Because of this, the people on Earth have outstanding qualities, while the mortals of Xingyuan must be guided by the Lord God to embark on the road to godhood."

"The two wills personally integrated into their own creations and attacked each other, just like two cells devouring each other. Through the aftermath of the battle, the entire spiral system of the universe prospered and flourished, and its creations continued to evolve in the war, and even became powerful enough to lure and kill the destroyers."

"Yes, lure and kill."

"Levitandar, Gerbros, and the Eye of Recognition."

"These three destroyers were deliberately lured by the will of Xingyuan, and cooperated with the will of the earth to continuously consume their strength and finally complete the ambush. As long as the goal is achieved, the two do not care who gets these powers."

"The war outside the abyss is a game."

"The wandering There are so many universes, why did the most powerful colony ship "happen" to drift to the outer universe? "

"The answer is: the ship carrying 666 high-quality earth citizens, 13 experts in various industries, and 3 human limit breakers was carefully selected by Gaia and deliberately let in by Abyss. The purpose is to help the outer war of the abyss and completely swallow up the three-headed destroyer for their own use."

"To this day, in the eyes of the Star Abyss, the outer war of the abyss is a loss and a humiliation."

"But in the eyes of the Star Abyss and the Earth Will Gaia, they have won. After obtaining the power of the three-headed destroyer, they liberated their existence and left this double helix system-from now on, they are no longer chess players who do it themselves and compete with each other on the chessboard, but become more advanced rule makers."

"And this rule, we call it: destiny."

"Before they left, Abyss and Gaia worked together to create this system, so that all programs had set the answer - the maintainer of this system is the Primeval Seed. And because the Primeval Seed was not there before Leviathandar arrived, , has been established, so the original species cannot be killed, and the destiny system can survive forever."

"Narrative and narrative, the war between the Star Abyss and the Earth is meaningless."

"Everything we do is just playing a repetitive game under the guidance of destiny. When the people of Star Abyss are exterminated by the people of Earth, new Earthlings based on Star Abyss will be generated on the other side of the earth. The Earth's universe lacks resources and living space, so in order to survive, they must embark on the road of invading the abyss."

"The cycle goes back and forth, endlessly, and the universe spins at high speed like a top, constantly developing, developing, and developing again, until one day, Abyss and Gaia obtained their final crystallization: a breakthrough in the development of the two universes. The upper limit has been reached and organic integration has been completely completed.”

"And this fusion has already been a destined ending."

"...In other words, whether it is Leos or Leandin, they are just puppets?"

"Everything that Leos gets is just like the fate arranged by the writer. And the order that Ryan maintains is just to get to this point."

"What is surprising is that Leanding has resisted fate several times. He has found some opportunities to escape. Unfortunately, Leoz is the sharp blade of the earth. The sword has no will, but the sword is driven intentionally, step by step This step will cut off Lai’s chance of peace.”

The Philosopher King lowered his eyelids and stared at Nomi:

"Now, the time has come."

"Driven by destiny, Leandin can only resort to the last resort: violence."

"As Leos' strength increases, out of rationality, he can only choose to fight Ryan."

"When all this comes, the future of the Star Abyss and the Earth will come to an end exactly as planned by Abyss and Gaia."

"And you, Nomi Anderson Guesset, you were chosen by destiny."

"Your immortality was implanted just for this moment. Tianming believes that you must dive into the Star Abyss to complete your mission. Only in this way can you avoid the war between the Star Abyss and the Earth."

"My mission?"

"It's not difficult."

The philosopher king said:

"In Jingyuan, Leos's human side still exists in the world. You need to return this human side to Leos himself."

"...Why is this?"

"Originally, there was no need to do anything extra, but during the execution process, something else appeared on Leoz's body, and only the human side can expel that thing. If there is no way to accomplish this, then even Xingyuan If you merge with the earth, you will only suffer more serious damage. Even your immortality cannot prevent the end of the world..."

Nomi suddenly asked:

"What is that thing?"

This time, the Philosopher King did not answer her question, but remained silent for a moment, seemingly thinking.

After a moment, he slowly spit out a difficult-to-pronounce name:

"Astrola."

"[Eternal Star God] Asdra, a strange monster who resists completely for the sake of resistance, such an existence is beyond the monitoring and control of the Destiny System."

"Ms. Nomi, if you hadn't suppressed Astra and caused Lioz's humanity to be completely annihilated, then Astra would have broken through the cage and crushed all the so-called 'injustices' in this world."

"Looking at the favor of fate, Miss Nomi, please save this world."
