Star Empire

…

“We are not omniscient and omnipotent, we do not have the ability to shape and control everything.”

"Beyond the interval lit by the bright lights of order, in the endless void, hope, disappointment and hesitation coexist."

"In the face of disaster and doomsday, the struggle of mortals will never end, and the gods will not stop them."

"The launch of the World Ark can be regarded as a milestone in the history of the Gods."

"We're still moving forward."

…

When silence falls, the will and hope from the gods have been clearly and comprehensively conveyed to all mortal civilizations under the rule of the gods.

After a brief stagnation, the countless mortal worlds that seemed to have been completely frozen instantly returned to their previous state before the arrival of the gods.

The project continues, and the plan is unfolding as usual. On the ruins with a faint smoke and dust still seeping out, manpower and machinery are assisting each other, trying to remove the heavy rubble that is pressing on the people seeking help; above the protective spire of the city wall, the violent Austrian sky is The magical energy was restrained and extracted by the crystal system, and dazzling lightning with a width of tens of meters was drawn from the spire, like a long whip that could shake the world and suddenly whipped towards the legion-level magic shield approaching the fortress; between self and heaven; , a group of practitioners who strive to seek the truth silently adjust the fluctuations of their own will, hoping to glimpse the truth of heaven in the gap of balance; in the bustling airport, a huge cargo ship slowly adjusts its own plasma engine, large and small The small spaceships were like fireflies surrounding the relatively safe areas around these big guys. Between chaos and order, everything continued as if nothing had happened...

This is the life of a mortal. No matter how great the event is, as long as consciousness and life have not ended, life must continue.

The gods are sacred and great, and every mortal civilization that has had real contact with the gods and knows to some extent the meaning of the gods basically recognizes this. However, in the actual long history, the two have relatively little contact, and the great gods are actually more like stories that exist in the background.

Some civilizations will amplify the influence of gods on their own civilization due to factors such as religion or life forms. But for relatively many civilizations, even if they have a complete set of methods and materials for communicating and cooperating with gods, there are too few parts of these materials that need to be fully utilized.

In the long-term continuation, misunderstandings and even frictions may occur to some extent on both sides - unilaterally, and almost without exception, but in the end, both sides can almost always reach a tacit understanding.

If the two parties are completely unable to get along, the exchange will often end with the disappearance of the god's figure and a large-scale erasure of relevant memories. In the process of adaptation, the habits of gods are recognized and accepted by mortal civilization. In the end, history seemed to have quietly turned a big bend and returned to its original path - everything continued as if nothing had happened.

True gods do not actually need any resources or offerings from mortals - they are enough to shine in the void by virtue of their own existence; true gods will not interfere too much in the lives of mortals unless they are really desperate and need help or Too far out of order. Gods have divine missions, and mortals also have their own survival trajectories. When the gap between the two reaches such a level that a flick of one side is enough to completely wipe out the existence of the other side, the two systems can skillfully maintain balance and common development under subtle communication, and the light of rules and order will also shine. Since then it has sprouted.

…

"The World Ark... It is no exaggeration to say that I have existed for three trillion years, but now when I see their successful completion... I am excited and excited, and this long-lost feeling finally reappears."

"Yes, this can be regarded as the final product of integrating all the foundation and technical potential we have accumulated over such a long time. Perhaps for a long time to come, such an Ark will probably be in our team. There will not be a third one." Donghua Xingyi seemed to be responding to the emotion of "The Balancer" Drissolin, and seemed to be talking to himself, "If it were not for the purpose of integrating such a void that can carry countless civilizations, Ark, we may never even figure out the extent of our own power - many old friends and colleagues may have lost contact without realizing it despite being separated by tens of millions of worlds."

"Well... children, are you sure that the power of these two world arks is enough and they no longer need our help?" Huanxi, who had been listening silently before, was still a little uneasy, "In the fight against Feng Ya At the node, we have indeed noticed changes in the overall level of the Σ fleet to a considerable extent. If we say..."

"Don't worry, Lord God King, we can give you peace of mind in this regard. As the culmination of the God Realm's overall technological and accumulated heritage, the World Ark is powerful enough to block the decisive battle flagship for our fleet. arrow."

"We used these huge void rings to directly borrow part of our authority from you and the void——"

"The power brought by these super rings enables the created, within a certain pseudo-void environment, to be compatible with and adjust the world structure that can currently be theoretically accommodated in the entire void - each ring corresponds to , is the Genesis Equation of the entire Void Quadrant. Twenty-six quadrants have been classified. When all rings are activated simultaneously, the Ark itself can be said to have a protective layer with a strength equal to that of the Void Realm, and this protection It’s definitely broad enough and sustainable.”

"As for their authority issues and self-consistency issues, we have already demonstrated this a long time ago when we considered whether to anchor new facilities similar to the "Void Continent" - as an accumulation of available technology, one of our previous models Many parts of it meet the structure we need now. The actual entire system is finally coordinated based on the impact that the theoretically strongest Chaos Sea Fault Zone and the Decisive Flagship can have - " The "Path of Truth" system can be said to be the highest-level creation in the entire Ark, except for the quadrant equation constraint ring - it is enough to incorporate most forms of order events or anti-order phenomena."

The information concentration and totality of the Ark itself are too huge, and the rank problem of the Ark itself makes it almost impossible for it to enter any world with a real world barrier. Therefore, the divine full-band suppression field of the "Path of Truth" Can be broadcast directly from the void and animate ordering every smallest unit of non-linear deflection along the way. This means that while maintaining the large main order field, we can ourselves strengthen the derivative space of considerable frequency. Although currently even this Ark cannot directly enable us to perform tasks parallel to the void, whether it is to support the world, blockade the world structure, or directly maintain the stability of our order environment in the invasion war at the void level, this system They are already perfectly competent - in most cases, we are sure to hold the power of order firmly in our own hands. "

"The problem of firepower... The core part of the World Ark is the multi-world restraint base station that carries countless civilizations isolated from the chaotic sea and polluted environment. All firepower levels and structures are to protect the central area. A highly superimposed environment." Donghua Xingyi waved his hand gently, and the information structure abstracted from the entire fleet instantly existed in every conscious mind.

Just in the perception of such a weak information projection, the impact of the huge emerald green crystal peak in the center of the floating island and the "alloy tower" flashing with dazzling blue arcs at the "pole" of the metal planet is enough. It's called "shocking."

"The Tianshu Xingjie position type is temporarily divided into two sets of creations that are ultimately different according to the differences in the technical systems of the two sides. However, their final effects are equally impressive - they all take effect by simulating the power of your void command; And between several rings close to the core, we can say that we have installed a considerable number of heavy firepower projection base station groups with a firepower range that is almost so large that it can be considered "unlimited"."

"These fire projection base stations, which are equivalent to the output intensity of the main guns of conventional Tianshu battleships, may not be able to match the destructive conventional firepower of Σ in terms of pure damage level. However, as compensation, they have more combination modes and effect modes - coordination rings With the large-scale point firepower we carry and the old fleet that has been formed, we have enough ability to purify pollutants in the chaotic sea."

In the detailed introduction, the rapidly jumping perspective brings the consciousness of the two void wills across the entire ark structure. In addition to the central core that brings dawn to the entire ark and the twinkling streamers of the positional version of "Tianshu Xingcai" , in the already bottomless darkness within a square inch, some illusory huge ring structures were operating silently, and the huge number of suspended point defense turrets completely outlined the outline and position of the ring itself - "If these With all the defense systems activated, maybe they can just build a real wall in the void..."

And between the areas swept by the rings, countless flashing light points are "neatly" arranged in the vast super-order atmosphere between several void rings. Although it can be said that the ring itself does not have an absolutely clear "structural size", in the face of this extraordinary creation that even the gods need to work hard to understand, these powerful big guys still have an added layer to facilitate identification. The "constraint shell". Although it is still impossible to measure the specific size of the shell, the projection can still explain some problems - the "first understanding diameter" of the first ring has exceeded one trillion years of basic information transmission, and the outermost ring The "first understood diameter" may even exceed three trillion "light years".

This is truly a world-class creation.

…

"Of course, I have no doubt about the power of these creations themselves, it's just..."

"Actually, what you are worried about is whether the children are really ready for such a huge environmental change, right?" A big hand gently placed on Huanxi's shoulder.

"From the time when we began to realize that there were changes in the Σ civilization, the Σ civilization blocked the national borders and went to extremes, to the Σ civilization that had confirmed that the bridge had failed to be built and suffered from the backlash of the chaotic sea; to the time when their corrupted ghosts in exile hit the borders of the areas affected by the Kingdom of God again and again. They caused casualties and huge impact, our unexpected encounter with each other and mutual recognition of the will of the void; the abnormal large-scale fault zones and corrupted information disturbance forces, and then the problems we encountered during the expedition There are various problems, as well as a powerful fleet that is comparable to ours in size and strength, and it is not difficult to deduce from these wreckage that it is a microcosm of the ancient times of Σ civilization at its peak...compared to the past ten trillion Years, what happened in just tens of billions, or millions of years, is worthy of enough attention due to its historical thickness."

Gou Chen's words sounded kindly and gently in Huanxi's mind, "With such a huge change, even you and I are still just adjusting during this period of time, and now if we return to the God Realm, we will face the changes In such a huge void environment, you can’t rest assured as to how far the children can go.”

"That's true, but you said it so easily...can you just let the children face all this with peace of mind?"

"Speaking out what is on your mind is no longer a worry - besides, I can't really command the Protoss for such a long time with such a dark mood, right? Then I'm afraid we ourselves will have become anti-Orders long ago."

Gou Chen gently rubbed Huanxi's hair, "You are right, your concerns are of course fine. Such huge changes are enough to make us re-examine the path we have traveled and our future plans to a certain extent. Is the goal correct? Of course we need time to think and adapt to all this, as well as our encounter with each other. We still have a long way to go - the Protoss is too huge, even if the affinity between us is still Having the commonality of divinity can minimize the obstacles to our communication, but considering the foundation of the divine world itself, it will take time for us to go further."

"But now, I'm afraid we need to be more decisive - as managers of order in the void, every time we hesitate, many civilizations will fall in the darkness, and every time we hesitate, it will affect our own development. It will also introduce one more variable. The void is infinitely vast, and accidents exist anytime and anywhere, even in the hinterland of the Protoss. For a long time, we can actually say that we have devoted too much attention to these variables. In fact, In the face of some things, we have been a little timid. For now, instead of saying that we are still entangled with so many factors, it is better to be more relaxed."

"Besides, we seem to have some things that only we can do now, don't we?"

". Really good at talking. Everyone, what do you think?"

"We are ready to face this critical turning point. In these hundreds of thousands, or possibly hundreds of thousands of years, we are ready to face changes, unknowns and hesitations. No matter what we face, Whatever will happen, we will continue to move forward firmly."

"Then, we understand." As the will feedback dissipated, two flashes of silver and cyan suddenly disappeared from the order field.

"The first wave of expedition operations has ended. We have traveled through a large area of ​​the outer edge of the ΣOld One Hundred and Seventy-Seventh and Old Thirty-Nine Sky Areas, and all the areas we can touch. The expedition to clean up has ended - most of the sustainable civilizations have been transferred and contained. Our "clearing the wilds" has ended. Next is the part that really needs to be faced with the unknown and needs to be tackled - cheer up for the stability of order. , there are some roads we should walk on by ourselves!”

Like stars, unstoppable - this is the best description of the Protoss fleet.

Based on the two world arks at the core, the Tianshu Stars, which carry the authority of the void, are connected to each other and become the first star network that runs through the power of order, and each light in this may be billions of light years away. Between the dark abyss, countless large and small battleships that have been tempered by time in the eternal history fill the gaps between every light with meticulousness, rigor and artistic sense.

Countless levels, countless echelons, at the edge of the "Path of Truth" networked sensing area, the number of independent order fields supported by each point of the Protoss fleet is too large to be recorded. From a distance, this order field spreads across the void. The cluster is not only a vast ocean, but also a mysterious and profound starry sky - a starry sky made up of worlds.

In front of this lit radiance of order, in a vast area with a completely opposite atmosphere, the dark tide is still surging. Some beings who still retain their intelligence have already smelled these familiar things and have been disgusted by them. The smell of rejection.

"There may be heavy casualties, and there may be more friction, but facing the darkness ahead, we are ready. The Will of the Void has a more direct and long-term important mission. At the same time, this is also for ourselves - - From hesitating and shrinking to moving forward firmly, the change in guiding will and action mode are too obvious and too powerful, and their appearance will inevitably be accompanied by the passing of life. However, we believe that... it will be worth it. "
