Star Empire

"There is no need to go into details. In fact, you should consider surviving as much as possible to make your life happier."

"Don't think too far ahead. Taking every step of your civilization well is the most important thing. At the same time, there are some things that need to be reminded of you, but maybe you really need to experience them before you can really understand them."

"Most civilization configurations have their final allowable continuation range. In the process of long-term development of most civilizations, their "stem cells" have almost been forgotten by the civilization system. Even if such structures exist, civilization can recover. The tenacity, time, price and luck required for vitality have often blocked most of the world lines... In short, the bottom line actually exists. If you fall below this final bottom line, you are basically... hopeless. "

A circle of dim holy light appeared quietly at some point. Under the embellishment of the holy light, a faint hymn sounded from the nothingness and echoed in everyone's consciousness. In the eyes of Enoton and others, the holy figure who looked a bit stern and cold, but was actually quite approachable, became solemn and serious at this time, and the invisible aura almost formed a substantive pressure, making these Civilized rulers who had seen the world to some extent all came up with the idea of ​​worshiping!

"Civilization is a very heavy word... Enoton, remember what I told you. You are also the first one in this team to know that the word civilization is very heavy."

"I'm afraid there are a lot of contents that are not suitable for you to mention right now." The divine projection shook his head slightly, "For someone like you, if you can always exist in a normal universe without obstacles, then it is completely okay. For a civilization that is said to have unlimited potential, I am afraid that these contents are not of great use to you. In other words, after this, you are likely to embark on a path that can be considered bright and stable, but it has already A clear path.”

"The spaceship will soon arrive at the frontline general order field. In the remaining time, before the flow of existence is completely ended, I have enough to finish the last part of the noteworthy content and answer your remaining questions one by one. Give a clear explanation.”

"It is worth noting that in the face of such huge changes, we still need to face various different intelligent creatures and need to perform assigned tasks that can be said to be very broad. Basically, most of them still maintain complete civilized operations. There will be voices of doubt and opposition within the civilization of the system, which is normal, but when I leave you, I ask you to clarify your principles on these matters:"

"We will not and do not need to squeeze any civilization. However, under the absolutely powerful gap in size and influence, many differences and differences can be distinguished by just a face-to-face meeting - in the void , a more powerful source of unity is enough to completely integrate all virtuality and reality - whether it is influence, order of magnitude, or even the will disturbance between us, etc., these existences that seem virtual and real to you, in the unity They all have full power and clear positions, and their influence is inevitable - remember."

"In addition, I must seriously remind you - order is cruel, far more cruel than you think. Creation, survival, and destruction, these three indispensable steps constitute the reincarnation system of order in the void. Our current state is only in the survival interval. Death and birth, the other two links that constitute order, are respectively before the birth of our cognition, or after the dissipation of consciousness. In fact, the environment we defend is not so much the order itself, To be more precise, it should be “to ensure that the survival process in the operation of order can make a normal transition from creation to death without being distorted by external factors. "

"The gods have relatively fully understood it in endless time. It can be said that there are almost no absolutes in the void. Even we will hardly claim that we "absolutely determine anything", but compared to the absolute In most other civilizations, we have more time, resources and opportunities to understand everything. These insights may have slowed down our development in certain directions to a certain extent, but... many times, we have to consider more. "We need to be more careful because we are not just responsible for our own race."

"In addition, I will give you some fixed principles for the work you are about to put in. When you really encounter a problem, even if you cannot solve it and cause serious consequences in your opinion - report it to us and implement the principles. Don't take action without permission. The details will then be engraved directly into your souls and superconscious perceptions. Now, I hope that some of the mistakes we have accumulated can give you some enlightenment."

"One last emphasis - maybe you will feel that these spaceships, the words I conveyed, and our arrangements for you all reveal a certain sense of oppression, or superiority, of higher civilizations over lower civilizations; perhaps For a long time, there will still be individuals in your civilization who feel that the gods are demonstrating their power and squeezing some of the "surplus value" of your civilization."

"That's not true."

"...We will listen attentively." Enoton nodded and bent slightly. In front of them, the information flow flashing in the holographic projection began to change again. The originally continuous and warm satin-like blue light gradually contracted into a series of Silvery white light spots, these light spots seem to be sand sprinkled on the drum surface, and invisible heavy hammers are constantly beating this huge drum - the difference is that these silvery white "pearl sand" They are essentially galaxies spanning hundreds of thousands of light years, and the drums that are vibrating them are made of the formless, massless paste of dark space.

"This is actually just a part of a certain space structure. Infinite, the word may sound magical, but there are very few beings who can truly understand its power. In the true sense, Infinity can even go beyond the conceptual level. No matter how huge the order of magnitude is, it is nothing but zero in front of it - this is the case with our records, the same is true with the world under the mount of God Realm, including us, our entire civilization The same is true. No matter how far we go, the glow of order that can slightly illuminate the road ahead will always come from behind us, and in front of us is the endless desert - but conversely, the infinity of the void itself Big, transcendent infinity on the level of void probability, but it has established for us an absolute event that can be said to be very rare: "

"Including you and me, we will all die completely, and there may be no way or equipment to recover it. The impact we leave behind, and other people's memories of us will fade away. In the end, it is very likely that what we will leave behind It's just a cold name, a name that no one knows. After a certain period of time, no one will know it or know the story behind this identification symbol. They will just know "Oh, there might have been A person with this name and codename exists, but now he is gone - that's all. "

"Because no one can recall the meaning behind these existence code names. Even if we look into it carefully - their original owners may not exist. The name written here may be just a small or medium-sized character in a certain expedition. It’s just a dream—does it feel familiar?”

“On an infinite level, no matter how small the probability of a certain event is, as long as it is still possible, then it can be considered to be bound to happen.”

Enorton's brows furrowed tightly again and again, while Blippok and others had long been silent. Even the civilized superconsciousness lurking in their sea of ​​consciousness had long been confused by the meaning behind these words. These words are not incomprehensible or inconceivable. They were once infinitely valid in hypotheses, but this time the difference is slightly different. They have entered reality.

While everyone was trying their best to think about these contents that were so advanced for them that they were almost incomprehensible, Donghua Xingshuo silently controlled the faint blue electric light jumping in his hands to perfect the increasingly detailed information projection. His will is constantly carving it bit by bit, making the entire holographic projection lifelike. It seems that its carrier only needs to be shaken slightly, and the contents in the projection will be shaken to the ground.

"Think slowly, there is no rush now, there will be more detailed rules to regulate your actions later. There are some contents that you need to understand slowly with respect and almost unlimited time." After confirming the entire vortex After the projection of the galaxy was completely perfected, Donghua Xingshuo lightly snapped his fingers.

The vast sea of ​​stars instantly spread out in the space provided by this room. Each of these stars has the same size, pressure, and details as their physical existence billions of worlds away. In this huge spiral galaxy, there is a "civilization".

A specially marked civilization that was forcibly twisted and reorganized from the broken fragments, and then forcibly shaped.

"This is a mistake caused by the combination of power and guiding thoughts: we have the highest probability enrichment curve. In a very huge range centered on us, including the territory of order and the very deep void space that we own , the event probability is relatively determined around this curve, but outside a certain interval, the probability will collapse and change sharply, and will be returned to the infinitesimal category."

"This means that we can use this curve and our data as a rough benchmark to judge, guide and even correct order activities on a large scale. In fact, this curve was a long time ago It already possesses considerable power, but...even if it is a god, the knowledge and truth we possess are obtained through practice, rather than emerging out of thin air."

"Gods can also make mistakes, especially in the very, very long time ago, when the order established by the super civilization of our generation just began to affect the void. Our footprints were all over the void earlier than our influence - although at that time, the overall The gap in level makes the two major protoss trillions of years ago not comparable to today, but in comparison, we had greater relative influence at that time - and at that time, we were, to some extent, It can also be said that there is power in nothing.”

"Including this civilization, there may be such "distorted existences" of the order of magnitude followed by twenty zeros, which are engraved with the mistakes we have made. Many of these existences have spanned the history of the void, and they are still vigilant to this day. Follow us."

"This is..." In the perception of Enoton and others, the divine holographic projection that seemed to be alive began to fully unfold all the details contained within it: every star was moving normally, the planets Operating in an orderly manner along its own star, in the open space, some broken ice rocks and metals slowly moved between the planets. If Enoton and others had not already possessed some more powerful target retrieval capabilities, let alone Those broken asteroids, even serious stars, may be just a point of light.

"If it just looks like it, then everything is normal..." Enoton frowned slightly. Under the guidance of a higher degree of attention, he locked the perspective as much as possible on the "near-Earth" that seemed to be the most prosperous planet. orbit".

The landscape of this planet has been completely changed. Some kind of pale golden coating of unknown material has covered the entire land. On the land stand countless three-dimensional cities that even exceed the atmosphere. Many light spots are along the The insubstantial air routes moved forward, and eventually converged into rivers of light that were like star roads one after another. At first glance, every city and even every planet is prosperous, without any disharmony.

"Look slowly, although the environment of that world is different from your universe in terms of element composition and constants to a certain extent, the overall actual templates can be classified into the same category. You should have studied stars to a certain extent. Soon You will find out the details.”

"Follow me...if you're looking at stars...stellar earthquakes, stellar flares, magnetic peaks, and...wait, prominences??!"

The relatively fixed position of the star, the birth of every prominence and corona, from the collapse and eruption of magnetic field lines to dissipation or being pulled back to the planet itself by the huge gravity... every process, every scene, even Every detail that can be understood and observed... is completely consistent! !

It's like a video looping through a monomer.

"This is just one of the abnormal phenomena... Look at the planets and star areas where the civilization itself lives... Their life forms are indeed special, but they do not have any buildings or equipment that can deal with life and body problems. In their civilization, there is no medical system, no industrial system, and the financial system... is like a vibrating wave that plays in a loop - our intervention has caused the fragments of this civilization to lose all the power of self-explanation, and according to us With the promise, we had to finally lock them into our last sweet dream.”

Donghua Xingshuo snapped his fingers, and the details hidden in them sensed the orders of their extractors and makers. Then they surfaced simultaneously and directly presented all their contents to the people of Enorton, who were becoming more and more surprised and confused. .

"This place is enough to represent the entire situation of this entire civilization - it, together with countless other civilizations that have encountered similar situations but have all kinds of strange situations, record a series of things we have done without principles because of disobedience. A series of mistakes created by order. In the center of our God Realm, there are too many such examples in the huge database that can completely record the discovery of the entire God race in all history and all time and space."

"If I remember correctly, I also had a share of responsibility when dealing with this civilization at that time. This civilization itself experienced a considerable degree of self-development collapse and overall denial at that time. What's worse, that civilization was in The collapse was far more powerful than this remnant here - not only did they deny their history, but more seriously, they had existential mathematical rate mapping distortion devices."

“A series of behaviors of this civilization caused them to completely cut off their connection with the world, themselves and the past. Under the self-paradox distortion at the world level, they turned themselves into paradoxical existences that were not allowed by the world. ——The world is a huge and complete body of self-consistent operating information. Its self-repair and automatic correction capabilities are actually very useful to civilizations like you who have not yet explored the outside of the world and do not have their own extraordinary information operation system. Quite powerful - that civilization was used as an antigen by the world, and was constantly divided and deleted. When we found it, only a small group of existences on the original pyramid tip were left of that civilization."

"They pray to us that we can help them revive their civilized bodies."

"According to our current principles, such a civilization should be allowed to dissipate and collapse on its own."

"But at that time, we did not have such a principle. At that time, perhaps before the reincarnation of seventy thousand or even eight trillion worlds outside the main axis of civilization - the Kingdom of God had completely completed the six relative components of that time Complete integration and commonality. At that time, our civilization was extremely powerful, and within our sight, all orders were based on God's instructions as the highest execution criterion."

"We have enough authority to completely reshape the birth process of the world and the power to reshape the order and rules in the void - under the strong premise, we naturally believe in power and believe that power can completely solve all problems in the void - —And this civilization is the product left after we used power to forcibly reshape civilization itself on the one hand, and on the other hand re-coded its history and forcibly penetrated the immunity of that world. We fight Do your best to ensure that this civilization can develop on its own."

"It should be noted that the purpose we pursue has actually always been to protect order."

"However, by doing this, we are actually violating the order - a violation in the true sense. Forcibly cutting off the process from existence to death may seem to be helping that civilization escape death, but under the influence of our immature power, Next, after the order of reincarnation of the civilization itself was blocked, problems quickly emerged: "

"The first thing that came was the structural lack of the civilization system - our main task at that time was to clear away the huge waves of chaos surging everywhere in the void, and wait until the large-scale order in the void completely calmed down. , a long, long time has passed. The development of our magical arts at that time was not yet perfect. Most of the direct magical arts were applied to one's own resurrection, soul repair, and a series of unexpected situations that may arise in combat in chaotic seas. But we directly poured these powers into the remaining fragments of that civilization. As a result, after the civilization was revived, it was like ceramics that had been forcibly glued together. It would continue to break at the slightest touch."

"At that time, on the one hand, a new round of attacks on the Chaotic Sea Cluster was about to begin, and we no longer had much energy to review these details. On the other hand, adhering to the principle of "helping people to the end" for order at that time, we There is no limit to forcefully distorting any problem that civilization encounters - regardless of the specific process, our magic has been affecting and even corroding the original form of the entire civilization. It was not until the end that we realized that we were using so many What stupid things did the divine power do? Later, we directly built a dream cage that kept reincarnating, and then directly cut out the remaining part of that civilization and stored it here as a witness to our actions and to us. A warning and reminder of what I have been doing all along——"

"Of course, the research and rescue operations related to it have not stopped yet. For countless years, we have been downplaying its influence. Perhaps after a while, everything in this dream will stop reincarnation, but its phantom will It will always serve as a warning to us.”

"It's stupid and strange. It sounds like there is no plan, no rules and regulations, and no stable remedies. According to the words you have used, this series of actions looks like a group of naughty kids with no power. When it comes to a situation that makes me scratch my head, I just blindly use brute force, add more water, more water, more noodles, and if I can't solve it, I just throw my fists and get furious, and in the end I just smash the problem to pieces, right?"

"Here, we..."

"Don't be nervous. This is our own definition of this matter. In that incident and countless similar incidents, we were just a group of naughty kids without any sense of propriety." Donghua Xingshuo is still used to it. He waved his hands slightly to calm down Enoton, who was full of embarrassment and nervousness. "Actually, our own history can already teach us enough lessons - guess, why do gods die too?"

"this……"

"We did not have a mature system and view of the void at the beginning. Even at the beginning, our fellow tribesmen did not necessarily show themselves in the most common form in the void. Everyone needs to learn, but it took us too long. Come and understand all this. I hope you can value the principles we have passed down, and we also hope that you can gradually develop something of your own based on these principles."

"Many times, power confuses its users, regardless of whether the users have good intentions or bad intentions. The best situation is that as civilization continues to develop, the technology and ideas possessed by the civilization itself can show a very small gap. Cross-synchronous development trend, such a civilization can be said to have a reasonable combination of power, thoughts and realm to a real extent at all times, but such a perfect experience is too rare.

"It can be said that there are almost no regrets on the road to development. If you make one mistake, you are likely to make mistakes every step of the way. In the huge filtering mechanism of order, many races either die from the filtering of the environment itself or die from their inability to better adapt to the environment. ; Or die from your own guiding ideology, become bigger and bigger, more powerful, more and more lonely, and finally die from your own out-of-control experiments, from the clever use of other more intelligent races, or Go all the way to the dark side, and finally deviate from the order in the face of difficulties; or, the race, civilization, and the world itself develop normally, but die from the intentional or unintentional disturbance released by the super civilization."

"Existences that can finally come to an end are extremely rare - and the mere existence of the top civilization itself is enough to stir up the ordered world environment in the void in a calm way, and no matter how controlled it is, it cannot be avoided - countless stories are summarized in the end, but it is just Just cold linked lists and questions.”

"Life is full of difficulties and mysteries for everyone. What we have to face is countless difficulties, countless choices, and countless conflicts from multiple directions of reality. All we can do is to carefully find a way out of it. It’s just a crack for us to walk through, and it’s the same for everyone.”

…

"Well, maybe I need to ask for your forgiveness now - such real application of words and pictures is quite rare for us - I am no longer proficient at it, and the withdrawal of the expressive ability of all things may I have added a lot of unnecessary content. I know that my words may not be smooth, and there may be many jumps, duplications and omissions in the logic - I hope you can extract them from my words in the future. to what you need for your growth and development.”

"We...will obey your will! These precious words will be regarded as the most precious materials by us, and we will never forget them at any time!"

"Well... I hope, even here, the emergence of these rules and principles is based on countless imperfect experiences, and on the basis of many disasters that are enough to be called annihilation compared to other races. . Precisely because of this, we need enough god-sides so that these god-sides can serve as communication between us and mortals.”

"On the one hand, God's Side serves as a messenger and bridge between us and mortals. These beings will be endowed with a certain degree of divine power, but these divine powers will not be too powerful."

"The huge power gap between different systems can be eased through the neutralization and regulation of God's Side and derivative artifacts; at the same time, God's Side itself still belongs to mortals to a certain extent, and they exist in the world where mortals live. , looking at everything from the perspective of gods and the attitude of mortals at the same time, which allows them to often come up with better solutions - at this level, we are more pursuing to handle events in an appropriate way, and efficiency is actually not so important."

"I hope that for a long time, you can stop such an "external mission". At the same time, as the first in our entire plan and agreement system, we also hope that on the premise of maintaining principles, Come on, you can make a good start."

"...I understand, so...now, can I ask another question?"

"sure."

"I would like to ask... if we follow divine law, how should we... define a specific civilization?" Enoton asked cautiously, "Even as our civilization has developed to this day, we still have different definitions of civilization. There are many branch views, some of which are defined by scope and region, such as "a certain galaxy civilization". In some disciplines, civilizations are also defined according to the primary and secondary races that make up the civilization... But no matter how it is classified, the specifics of each category There will still be missing and difficult-to-fill cases in distribution. Please tell me, from the perspective of God’s requirements, what should we do...?”

"Ha, the answer to this question is, it's up to you."

"???what did you say??"

"The range of survival, life forms, racial differences and cultural integration, development stages, differences in beliefs, etc., etc., including these, many factors make the fire of every bit of wisdom different. I have said before, This cannot be codified."

"I have just brainstormed a new system and haven't put it into practice for the first time. A new kind of existence may appear just an inch away from you, and you can't classify it at all. Considering the overall infinity of the void, Sex, the emergence of an exception means that there will actually be countless exceptions - then you can only modify your rules. As for how you will go through this extremely tangled passing stage - this can only be explored by yourself. After all, the knowledge forced on you will not be effective, and this is also part of what we hope you can study on your own."

"Well, there is still a small area left. I guess we will almost reach our destination after talking about this."

Donghua Xingshuo's eyes flickered slightly. At this time, his senses were completely integrated with the entire Tianshu spacecraft. During the rapid jump of the spacecraft, the dim blue light and shadow seemed to be slowly passing by. The ripples on the water surface generally spread from around the spacecraft into the order field, and eventually disappear into the darkness beyond the end of the order field.

Within a certain interval of the order field, more and more information resonance anchor points have begun to appear - this means that Feichuang is about to merge with an extremely large order body that exists in the void.

"About seven trillion years ago, we discovered a very special existence - it was a relatively independent and complete system. The existences that made up this system were a group of mortals with very special life forms, and there were three... It is said that with its continuous integration and development, it finally directly swallowed the entire world by relying on its own strength."

"Swallow...the whole world?"

"Yes, perhaps it is the result of the collapse of probability in the void. In the three worlds that are quite close to each other, similar thinking beings may have appeared almost simultaneously - generally speaking, they may have a relative "Entities" that are relatively easy to understand, but this way of evolution and development of ideological life makes them more biased towards the field state. In the long period of activities, these lives may have also swallowed up the different world lines and weight faults of those worlds. They gathered all kinds of life forms in the world, and they compiled the consciousness templates of various life forms - through continuous development and meditation, they finally understood some of the truths of the world bit by bit, and eventually replaced the entire world."

"Their consciousness is the way of heaven, the sparks of their thinking are the stars, and there are all kinds of universes inside their bodies. For those alienated worlds, the world itself is these huge wisdoms, and these wisdoms are also the world itself."

"This is a story later. Before all this was realized, another super civilization nearby was destroyed by the order disaster in the void, which triggered a large-scale chaos and disaster group event. The impact of that event was also related to This incident is similar, but on a much smaller scale - the frequent chaos in the sea has damaged the communication between the nodes of order, which makes the survival of those three intelligent worlds very difficult."

"During that critical time period, the three worlds and all the derived intelligences living in them formed a special "Council of Three Sages" after negotiating and integrating as quickly as possible. This structure allowed them to Being able to mobilize all the power and wisdom that can be mobilized to deal with various problems faced by each other and come up with high-quality solutions at a faster speed - this is indeed of great reference value."

"Some compatriots contacted them on behalf of the divine world. After a long period of observation and coordination, they finally became a member of the gods. Due to the relatively special basic form of life, they are rare and are permanently in a state of world management and "holding the line." "One of the divine races. To this day, their influence has spanned the void along with the influence of the entire divine world."

"Three Kings Council - this is their influence. The servants of God who serve the order in their name, as well as the world they manage and directly disturb, basically believe in the ruling structure of the Three Kings Council, and also Identify the operating mode of the Three Sages and its results. As the controllers of calmness, rationality and comprehensive judgment, the believers of the Three Kings can be said to be widespread in the void. There are quite a few like you who have been included in the extraordinary realm. Individuals often initially wear artifacts derived from the Three-King Star Council in order to be able to make fair and wise judgments at critical moments - of course, this has little to do with you now, you don't need to be so deeply responsible. Degree - Remember, do not let your power intervene in any disputes of interest within a mortal civilization that you face, nor between civilizations. You are actually observers, and to a certain extent, the law of heaven Agent. After leaving this zone, everything else has nothing to do with you."

"We have arrived at the frontline order field."

As the darkness without any concept of depth in the environment faded away, it was so deep that it was transformed from a series of constantly moving afterimages into an indestructible entity. The seamlessly connected world coordinate definition engine directly transmitted the spacecraft itself to the target location. Precise and fast.

And in the infinitely vast order space, countless similar stars are constantly emerging from the deepest depths of space outside the scope of order, and are constantly lighting up the entire order field.

===============

"The first phase of exploration and civilization preservation operations has been completed, and all samples have been recovered and observed. According to Agreement No. 1103, the assessment for the trainee god's side position has begun; all isolated civilizations are in a completely frozen state, the frozen state is stable, and information flows The smallest unit of observation is zero.”

The Sword of Truth, the Island of Life, the Memories of Iremila, the Tianshu Star, the Silver Star Sword, the Golden Ring of the Red Sun... countless carriers and figures full of sanctity and powerful divine power are present in this square inch. The bottomless space between them is connected to form a complex matrix large enough to penetrate every extraordinary space rank that has been discovered.

Among the vague connections, the concept of affinity jointly created by the two void wills ensures the stability and efficiency of communication and cooperation between two super-large-scale top-level void civilizations whose contact with each other is extremely short compared to history.

At the level of consciousness, a meeting is unfolding involving countless wills from different planes and levels.

"In accordance with the expedition agreement, guidance and isolation operations for surviving civilizations in the Σ-affected area are underway. As far as current observations are concerned, the effect is better than expected, and most cosmic and world-class civilizations have shown a certain degree of intention to cooperate. In this article From the phased summary report, we can conclude that the plan summarized based on the huge database of data is quite reliable."

"Contact with the Void Will is temporarily interrupted...communication intensity has been observed to decrease."

"The manufacturing process of World Ark is stable and can be delivered as scheduled..."

"Attention, there is a black area in the deduction array - the information blockade layer outside the order field fluctuates, a super large-scale jump of information beyond the virtual point jump is observed, an unknown information blind spot is observed... the super large-scale order body breaks through the order field blockade! etc. , this is...? Stop predicting, stop!!"
