Star Empire

"Well...children, you have decided, then go ahead."

The silver light around Gou Chen was dissipating little by little - even if it was a shadow, this shadow had void power that was completely equivalent to the level of the body. Use the power of the void against the creations of order...

Previously, these forces would have been used to attack fault zones. All of this now may be extremely cautious, or maybe...

The ancient system has been running smoothly for too long. Perhaps when a real drastic change occurs that can shake up the structure, many of my original strengths and ways of doing things will also need to be adapted again. Perhaps it is like moving those stiff limbs?

"I have to say that this is a disaster for all ordered worlds in the void."

God's memory is already filled with the final crystallizations representing hope and despair. "Hopefully as we move forward, we won't have too many tragedies like this happen."

"I'm afraid no one can guarantee this kind of thing, including us."

The stability and stability of the past seemed to evaporate overnight. Even if the gods really wanted to change quickly, they could not reverse everything in an instant - the previous environment had been operating for trillions of years, and every year , countless worlds have been born and fallen.

"We can only ensure that our fleet has attracted enough attention to the Σ wreckage. After all... the information used to make such a decision is full of despair, and in order to achieve the effect, we have to choose that method of issuing announcements. , dangerous, but helpless.”

"During the period when the Σ fleet fell into madness, they gradually spread out from the endless eternal space. The earliest batch of them may even sweep across the void in just hundreds of thousands of years. After the huge impact on the Chaotic Sea Domain, , the large-scale void environment has fallen into a period of high explosiveness at the exit of the chaotic sea - fault zones almost appeared in batches. Even we cannot spare so much power to take care of all the civilizations in the void, even if The number of worlds mounted in the God Realm is quite large, let alone a white zone between civilizations.”

"Openly announcing the complete tearing up of the existential interoperability agreement to attract their fleets that may gradually disperse into the distance of the void... I hope that the information we have collected will enable us to make a relatively more appropriate judgment, and I also hope that these Σ When the ship received this news and jumped all the way here, it still maintained a sufficient degree of accuracy and specificity. At least, our countless guesses and efforts... would not be in vain."

"Lord God King, I hope what we are doing now is appropriate."

"Well, it's still too early to carry out real exploration activities. Everything we have done in the past is to prepare for restart. There is nothing to worry about." Huanxi Shadow waved his hand slightly. "The time is right. Next, this place can be left to us."

"clear."

The plan was filled into reality, and the protoss' army began to divide itself.

Countless brilliant battleships, countless mysterious lights and shadows, and countless large and small light spots, they followed the will of the gods and slowly withdrew from the slowly fading palace of the heaven on earth. They bypassed various protective fields in the surrounding world, bypassed the rotten protective layer, bypassed the huge corrupted fleet that had been stacked in front of them for ten thousand years, and pushed the line of fire of order deeper.

"Perhaps, the reaction is still a little slow." After the alliance of gods began to reorganize, the figure as the void itself and one of the sources of all things poked Gou Chen beside him in his consciousness: "We are still too on the edge now, but entering After so long, this area, which the children call the highland of belonging, should be able to see farther away. Do you want to take a look at the reality of the "weights"?"

"...That's what I meant." Gou Chen's body was suddenly wrapped in a circle of silver light, and his figure suddenly became illusory.

"You really have to rely on your strength." Looking at the disappearing shadow, Huanxi dispersed the silver light surrounding Gou Chen, "You are avoiding talking too much. Many of your shadows are like this - this What’s the problem?”

"...The main thing is that there is nothing to say. Even if we don't say it, we are both in the void. At least we can communicate with each other in this aspect." Looking at the hand holding his own, hooking Chen shook his head gently, "And you still need to maintain your current void realm. If I talk to you more, what should I do if it affects your concentration?"

"I don't even care. Where does your deliberate seriousness come from?"

"Maybe it's experience? Or maybe it's each other's habits? If you are willing to listen to it again in the current terms, these stories can be told again. Maybe it is good for styles to collide in many aspects."

"Story? Your order to the past?"

"Perhaps so... When I woke up, there was only a piece of pure light and heat around me. At that time, I didn't know what I was, where I was, and whether I had a body... I'm afraid when I observed that piece of pure light In the process of gradually dissipating and cooling, I will probably be a ball of dark ink... Ah, it doesn't matter. Anyway, when I felt that I needed some body structures that are now called metaphysical, the world had already begun. Elementary particles that form some of the foundations.”

In the slow recollection, Gou Chen's eyes seemed to become as deep as the void, as if reflecting all the past in the entire void.

".The soul is opened, the void"

"It is unimaginable that at that time, that world could survive without being transformed into a transcendent shell. As I wandered intentionally or unintentionally, I began to study the pure light and heat I saw when I woke up. What it represents. Now, the children define that scene as the embers left after the two flashes of order in the world. These embers will quickly cool, solidify and give birth to more colorful things after the initial fire of creation burns. order--"

"Here, the children used a lot of magical analysis and various laws to measure the details. I can only understand part of it... This is not the point. After the world gradually cooled down, For the first time, I saw the birth process of a new order of life besides myself. Near a blazing star, if I remember correctly, very primitive life appeared on a rocky planet. Very primitive."

“But being primitive doesn’t mean that influence is diminishing.”

Whispering, talking, wrapped in the core of the void realm, even the figures of gods flashing around from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally gave up all attention here, and the powerful network formed by countless gods tacitly agreed. The emergence of small black areas.

It was as if everything no longer existed. The concept of metaphysics is excluded, and the super-metaphysics is transformed into the seemingly violent raging waves that just brush the surface on the vast sea. The black space and the crystallized cracks that penetrate countless layers of world debris and vast information obsessions were squeezed out, forming light and shadow that floated on the surface, as if shaped by naughty children. Nothing around him has changed, but compared to this pair of shadows from the void, everything around him now looks more like shadows. Everything that makes them up seems to be extremely crude and shallow in front of the void.

This is a black realm, but also a holy realm. Its effective part is probably not one ten thousandth of that of the Silver Star Long Sword bridge hall, but here the soul is opened.

"Whether it is the Big Bang of Creation or those stars that shine with golden or even blue light, they are extremely blazing and cruel to the ordered beings I have seen. They are extremely fierce and cruel to those who originally attached to the earth. Or it may be destructive to the life within the frequency, but under the light of these destructive powers, life can actually be born!"

"Now it may seem one-sided or even ridiculous, but at the time, it was all very different."

"Once upon a time, I didn't know what these represented to the world of multiple orders now floating in the void... At that time, based on such experiences and the concepts born with them, the fire from the void appeared. It possessed It has properties similar to those in Genesis and the high-polymer mass-energy core of all worlds. It is equally blazing, but can also birth and control order. However, the first few generations of descendants who used this power no longer exist - unconsciously, I Saw the death of life.”

"During the period shortly after I woke up, I didn't know, nor did I know how to study the properties of myself and my creations. After witnessing the countless irreversible deaths of those basic life forms, the first thing I felt was Afraid, I was afraid that my creation would leave me at some point, leaving me alone again. Therefore, in that reckless state, I almost gave my original creation enough strength and immortality to maintain..."

"It took me a long time to understand everything, from needing a body, learning instincts, sorting out various fragments, understanding everything now and then creating..."

"But there's always some content that I didn't get to see."

"...They're out of control."

"Yes... it's a slow, gradual process. I don't know what happened to the first creations that were not completely counterattacked by their own power... That time is too far away from now, and the void environment and There is a huge difference now, and I... It took me a long time to gradually understand some things... Now it seems that they may have been overly exposed to the chaotic sea. At that time, order was arranged in narrow intervals, and outside the intervals Almost all of them are large areas of pollution..."

"But these are just things to say later. At that time, I only knew that they would not die due to their absolute immortality. After being contaminated, they began to harm the world of order, and they also began to escape my control and even coordination, so... I could only Choose to destroy them..."

"……Then what?"

"Later, it took a long time for you and me to start all this again. The problems caused by self-erasing were too huge. I was a lot more cautious about my creations, and I also paid attention to them for the first time. When it comes to your special part, which is the power of the void, you also chose not to let your power be used freely in the void. I think we may have many common languages ​​​​in similar aspects."

"After that, I tried my best to explore and repair the order of the world in the void that was disrupted by my first-generation creations. After more observation and thinking, I successfully created this god. A kind of creature - the Great Sun God Clan including Shengyang Xihe. There is a lot of history, even if it is mentioned, it needs to be downplayed. I even have some doubts that at the beginning of our Void Era, there may be more that are completely different from the current order. Different existences. If they were fully revealed, it might not be a very good possibility.

"In addition to the other creation gods, including the oldest ones, who are not currently in the range of convenience and contact, there are also those who are promoted - the corresponding representatives in this range are the current Qianyuan Divine Court, facing the "frontier" of Σ "One of the kingdoms." The raging sea tied all the gods to the same chariot. "

"After the attributes of God were expanded, we began to gradually study the unique symbolic power of divine power - it is very powerful and can give order creatures the power to control the infinite multiple worlds in the void and the symbolic guidance that represents the fixed point of the void order creatures. And in As the gods were born and grew stronger, the children gradually became aware of the environment they might have to face, as well as the endless and heavy tasks they might have to undertake in this environment."

"As the most powerful ordered race in the void, walking in the void, we have unlimited resources, unlimited time, and unlimited space to develop ourselves; but on the other hand, we also have to face the infinite There are many possibilities, infinite unknowns, infinite types of accidents and endless expansion and struggle. As the most powerful civilization of order, guarding order and blocking disasters at the edge of order is our increasingly determined mission and task. The task of rectifying the world, purifying the chaotic sea, and closing the exit of the chaotic sea will be carried out by me and the children - gods are the most powerful race, and in such a position, there are many things that we will have to do. , and it’s something only we have the ability to do.”

Unconsciously, even the concept of time began to slowly disappear - the two of them seemed not to be inside the battleship or reality, but above reality, overlooking the intertwined war flames and twinkling like stars. of countless worlds. Among them, there was a large piece of starry sky with ominous black-red mist billowing, and with him as the center, the world in the distance became more and more illusory. That was the secret I kept for myself.

"But it took us a long, long time to really understand how we deal with all of this and how to deal with those issues at the children's level."

"Once upon a time, we believed that even gods' power would eventually have limits. After the absolutely immortal life attribute would never appear in children again, even if they were the most powerful race, they would not be safe forever. It is impossible to count all the accidents in it, and the threat of Chaos Sea is not far away after the restraint range is large enough. Chaos Sea is currently on the same level as divine power in terms of expressiveness. In this state, even if it is The Protoss will inevitably suffer casualties.”

"It is extremely difficult to make the gods completely die, except for us to see. To a certain extent, the gods are the embodiment of our tendency to order and stability. They are powerful and have almost unlimited potential for development. They hold the power to emerge from the void. Extracting order and law and the authority to correct the world, gods can maintain their souls in a state of suspended animation or some kind of dispersion for hundreds of millions of years, but once a true god dies completely... he will be almost completely obliterated in all senses. , this even includes a considerable part of the influence and order he left in the world’s memory of him, and many once glorious names have now been buried at the bottom of memory.”

"This is absolute death in the truest sense, which can never be undone, which can never be saved, and even this may be called fate, when everything has reached its final extreme, when death comes to the children again , without violating the principle, including me, there is no way or even a possible way to comfort the children."

"However, the order that has passed away, the corpses that are still struggling, the fragments in the huge gate in the chaotic sea... the life and death of too many orders, whether it is the perished predecessors, or ourselves - right Therefore, we never dare to relax.”

"In the absence of super-strength external disturbances, gods are immortal. As long as they are not dead, they will witness more and more similar things, and they will overlap without limit. There are stories, and there are deaths without stories. , will eventually become unimaginable as time accumulates. This will be terrifying. Gods are different from those mortals whose lives have been abnormally prolonged. Gods may be numb in some aspects, but their will and emotions are absolutely not Those who may be paralyzed - they will continue to face this most unacceptable event with fresh emotions, again and again."

"So, since these things are painful, then we dilute it, look down upon it, or even ignore them to some extent. In these aspects, a long time is always good medicine; at the same time, we use seriousness, efficiency, seriousness and caution To treat everything - this is a long-standing habit and it is never intentional.”

"Later, the children discovered more and more intelligent creatures in the void that could struggle to develop in any environment, which made us feel more and more that what we paid was worth it, and it also made us feel Being able to have a more diverse and relaxed attitude to face the order and darkness of the void."

"Some information is beginning to be understood - instead of preparing various ways to face and deal with the events that will continue to pile up, it is better for children to begin to try to learn detachment and learn to return their hearts and actions to a calm baseline. Let all the joys, anger, sorrows and joys no longer pile up, but sink into history. Learn to understand and accept when you are confident, instead of using so-called experience and experience to create pain and maturity."

"However, it is difficult to change some things in the end. Just like now, after meeting you, I believe that the future will be more colorful, but it takes time to make changes."

"yes."

"So, there's more..."

"The void is too vast and deep. Is this... next time? Can we truly understand each other at this moment?"

"I guess...okay."

The slight, trembling words seemed to be endlessly far away from the bridge, endlessly far away from the present, endlessly far away from order.

The consciousness that comes from the void, from the beginning and the end, from the only source of everything, quietly melts part of the isolation between each other, allowing each other's souls to truly perceive "the other person", or... "themselves".

"This feeling is right." Huan Xi and Gou Chen looked at each other silently. Two figures looked at each other silently, or one, two, or perhaps countless figures were looking at each other silently and eternally. , there is no need to hide it completely.

"This is still a world of order after all. Everything that happens here will ultimately occur, develop and dissipate from the perspective of order."

“We are a blank slate, they are not.”

"Children, and the kings of the world. Their understanding of the void is not deep, but this statement is not correct - the understanding of the void may be deep or shallow, or it may not exist."

"All of this can be thought of as coming from birth out of nothingness, from what children call emergence. But they also come from one-sidedness, from decay, from deterioration."

"Yes." In increasingly sparse words, the two figures hugged each other.

There is no longer a need for words, or even for the transmission of meaning.

The void is infinite and contains too many things.

Order and reality are not perfect. There are too many things that restrict the development of order from the zenith, from the process, from the foundation and everywhere.

After turning over the rotten paper, the simplest and most essential concerns... They, the intelligent entities of Σ, are not "wrong".

The empty gaze looked up and down at the same time.

Should axioms and truth be said to be “discoveries” or “inventions”?

They may be both.

So what about the properties that exhaustive logic and rhetoric construct, and the entities that might hold those properties?

There are rules and logic in order.

But they are not absolute.

Why? Is the rule wrong?

Maybe not, children are very confident about this - they think that these rules are not perfect enough and not universal enough.

So, what is the depth required for absolute perfection and absolute universality?

There is no need to study them at this moment, and getting involved in them at this moment will only push yourself into a dead end.

But let alone whether they exist, if they do exist, can they be reached?

"well"

Go ahead.

We exist for nothing else.

It is the simplest and most sincere hope - why can't everyone live happier together?

…

A silver flash passed silently, and the sharp blade that transcended everything cut through the maelstrom that penetrated countless structural layers on the other side of the world. Under the violent impact of this void crack, the order that was almost solidified and torn apart turned into an indescribable The dark clouds and huge rift structures separated on both sides stopped growing in an instant.

Only these two people can hear the communication of will, and the will of the void runs through eternity.

This time... it's special.

The premonition is already there. The past, the gears that are so tight that it is suffocating, will be completely shattered here.

I hope children can move from being closed to being open.

I hope that children can get out of the fallacies and shadows - not just the fallacies and shadows that are currently shrouded in them, but... Σ has spied on but took the wrong path because it was too radical...

Where is the limit of void?

Countless worlds? Countless supernatural powers? Void energy? truth?

Maybe both, maybe neither.

The description of the structure can be infinitely complex. In fact, such unlimited complexity can be seen in many fields and research.

All this, everything in this world, is not covariant. Right and wrong, existence and nothingness... there are too many mutually exclusive pairs.

But...is all this a matter of course?

Perhaps, everything is the aspect of other more complete, larger, and more covariant existences, and everything is just the remains left after being broken.

Or perhaps, they have never been completely separated, and the different expressions are not enough to isolate them.

"..."

"Thanks."

"I just need the children to work harder. Maybe... reports of unusual movements deep in the God Realm will come soon."

"Huanxi, we are still us."

"Of course. None of this is worth it, it shouldn't be, and it's not allowed to be broken by external forces."

"I hope... [this page] can be opened as soon as possible. The story it contains... has existed in the decaying five-sided pattern for too long."

…

Among the countless worlds surging with the atmosphere of the chaotic sea, groups of divine warships slowly swept through them with the most meticulous attitude, and one by one confirmed and saved any existence in each world that might be confirmed as a source of life heat.

The gods involved in the operation can now confirm that the previous decision has attracted the attention of all devices on the Σ border, and may even have drawn full "hatred". Their teams gathered here, and the strong attraction caused these flood peaks to finally leave the island group that spread across the ocean.

This is the nominal border area of ​​Σ, but Σ itself is too huge. Even in the border area, the world that a single team of gods needs to deal with in this area has a depth that is so thick that even the power of the gods cannot see it.

Although such work is extremely tedious, in the exploration of the gods, this area can bring more and more surprises and joys. Perhaps, for many lives, everything is not too late:

In such a polluted world, weak life is still not extinct. In the darkness, the remaining stars light up and go out like breathing, although the brightness of these stars is not even enough to light up the optical distortion after the chaos of the sea disaster. The strange long night that is not consistent with physical properties is formed on their planet, but even if they are really helpless or try their best, there is still no solution. Now it seems that they have never stopped struggling to survive.
