From star abyss

January 15, Galactic Era 221

Azure Star, Red Arrow Empire, Elga City, Elga Coast.

As the southernmost city in the empire, Erga was considered a rising star. Imperial soldiers liberated the city in 154 and drove the Frostplated people across the strait.

From then on, Frost Plate had no chance to challenge Red Arrow. It was separated by natural barriers and no longer had the ability to pose a threat to Red Arrow's capital.

For the empire's militaristic expansion model, the war did not achieve its goal. Some cities occupied were called liberation, and the destruction of the country was called conquest.

In addition to facing Frost Plate across the sea militarily, and being able to bomb Frost Plate with cannons, Erga, the southernmost part of the empire, may have made the greatest contribution to the Red Arrows by changing the lyrics of the Red Arrows' national anthem. Nothing particularly famous anymore.

The reason is simple: Elga has few resources to speak of. It is surrounded by mountains and is not suitable for transportation development. There is no ocean in Azure Star, so it is impossible to develop a port.

But for a small city with a population of only 700,000, Erga actually has two universities, which were built during the Frost Period.

The empire's attitude towards this place was average. Since there were so many Frostplated descendants here, they first established an autonomous prefecture and gave the locals a high degree of autonomy.

However, although it is nominally the territory of Red Arrow, there is a serious lack of industry and enterprises in the local area. To this day, the proportion of agricultural population in Elga City is as high as 67%. Red Arrow’s low social security also makes this group of people in a state of insecurity and poverty. state.

Leisure, laziness, and backwardness are the true portrayal of Elga.

No one would ask about the news in this city. Even on the Internet, few people would know that there is such an inconspicuous small city in the southernmost part of the empire.

However, all this has changed forever today.

Kadan Frisch, 34, is a simple farmer in Elga. It is definitely not a happy thing to be a farmer on the land on the border of the empire. The land here is not too fertile, and there is a lack of capitalized group operations. There are no food factories for further processing of crops, so they can only be sold at extremely low prices.

"Good morning, another bad morning."

Cardin, who lives alone, is not optimistic about his job. Next, he will drive a tractor and transport haystacks. On the way to the city to deliver goods, Cardin eats rough-tasting saltine crackers and cheap wheat soda. He can almost An hour of wandering around the city with little entertainment, but only an hour before returning to the farm and getting back to work.

This kind of life is the same every day, nothing will change, and it will never change.

The farm workers didn't know where they were. They should have started working at this point. Cardin walked around but didn't see anyone. He opened his personal terminal, but it showed that there was no signal.

"Damn the operator, I knew their newly installed base station was unreliable!"

Cardin was helpless. Without the Internet, work would only become more boring. For Red Arrow Farm, which is highly mechanized, whether it is drones spraying pesticides or automated agricultural tools, they need to be connected to the Internet before they can be used.

The Red Arrow Empire relies heavily on mechanized technology, which has indeed benefited most people, but it is not very friendly to remote areas like them.

Fortunately, Cardin didn't mind doing the work with his own hands. He was going to drive the tractor out to the market to buy breakfast. He happened to go to an area with signal and contact the manufacturer to come and repair it. It was really outrageous. He only bought it a few days ago. The equipment cannot be used.

The cold brilliance of the artificial sun fell on his shoulders. He pushed open the door as always. The warehouse was as bright and magnificent as a palace. He lowered his head and got on the tractor as usual. When he was about to go to the farmland, he suddenly realized something.

——He didn’t even turn on the lights, so why was it so bright in the warehouse?

Cardin slowly turned his head. A huge white stone tablet rose from the ground and penetrated the ceiling of the warehouse. The beautiful and mysterious patterns on it were slowly emitting a pale golden light. The golden light is like broken feathers, scattered and floating in the air. Different from the dense feeling of Tyndall effect, this gorgeous and magnificent magical landscape feels quite delicate, gentle and fresh, and full of intimacy.

The old farmer Kadan opened his mouth and looked at the things in front of him in disbelief.

Compared with the hole in his warehouse, he was even more surprised by the changes brought about by the holy stone tablet - the land near it was being purified inch by inch by golden fragments of feather-like light, turning into Crystal clear.

He unconsciously leaned towards the white obelisk. In the dark, he felt that he would not be harmed. He even believed that this strange and mysterious spectacle would bring unique changes to him.

Cardin stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and touched the obelisk.

【You made the right choice. 】

"Who?! Who is talking?" A voice suddenly sounded in his heart, and Cardin was startled.

[Close your eyes and listen quietly. 】

Cardin was doubtful. He fully suspected that this was the work of the stone tablet in front of him, but he had no good idea at the moment.

Rather than contacting the empire's military and police agencies, he felt that this was an opportunity given to him by God. Since it appeared in his countryside, it was his property, and how to deal with it was also his own business.

‘Is it really a sacred object of the gods? ’

Cardan thought.

Although the Red Arrow Empire has powerful technology, it has loose control over religious beliefs. Almost all people have their own beliefs, and Cardin, as an honest farmer, is no exception. He grabbed the pendant around his neck and prayed silently. Then he continued to press on the stone tablet, closed his eyes, and felt it quietly.

[The starry sky has not yet existed, the chaos has not yet opened, and the star abyss has been born. It sensed the arrival of the Destroyer and recruited six creators from the original universe. They are respectively in charge of destruction, craftsmanship, domination, redemption, robbery and strange power. Times have changed. Nowadays, most of the creators have died, but their path to godhood has remained forever...]

[What is displayed in front of you is the path opened by the current successor of [Lord] - Li Ozi. 】

[A true path to godhood. 】

The next moment, Cardin felt an invisible and warm force coming from the stone tablet, penetrating into his nerves and blood vessels, from the tips all the way to the top of his skull. He felt very happy. His body temperature rose slightly, but he became More energetic.

[I gave you a small gift as a reward for your willingness to listen to the teachings. 】

Cardin took a few steps back. He vaguely felt something, an unknown force spreading within his body. He looked at the Nurman tractor in the distance. It was 5.4 meters tall and weighed 10.9 tons. It was a heavy and wild monster.

Cardin raised his hand, golden haloes lit up in his eyes, and gave the other party a slight hook.

The heavy tractor immediately levitated lightly. Not only the tractor, but also all objects within a radius of five meters centered on him, and even himself floated, as if he were suddenly in the universe.

Cardin waved his palm casually, and the heavy objects in this area floated up and down at will as he imagined. He could lift a tractor with his bare hands, and he could also make a feather heavier than iron. This kind of power And the method of release is not unfamiliar to Cardin under the popularization of education in the empire.

Arcana.

Cardin is convinced that what he has mastered is the supernatural ability called arcana.

The thirty-four-year-old farmer played for a long time until he flew into the air and then fell down due to the height.

Cardin fell down on the hay, looked up at the damaged ceiling, and stayed blank for a few minutes.

Then, he became silly and happy.

Even if he is just an ordinary farmer, he will clearly realize that the city of Erga will be completely different from now on.
