Star Empire

[This extra chapter corresponds to the "daily episode" after the completion of the bridge building. 】

In the boundless void, there are countless civilizations of all kinds.

The interactions between them are diverse - they may be tense, they may cover each other up, or they may be having a pleasant conversation...

These are all part of the endless possibilities.

If civilizations can coexist, then sooner or later communication-related needs will arise. And if civilizations need to communicate, then the need to establish stable communication channels will become more and more realistic and urgent.

In many cases, if the association of civilizations can continue to develop, then with the extension of its pace and the broadening of its horizons, bilateral exchanges will most likely develop into multilateral exchanges. Many civilizations can coexist with each other, discuss development matters, communicate with each other, and make progress together. Correspondingly, communication channels will continue to develop and grow as more and more civilizations are incorporated. Eventually, it will form an invisible network that connects many civilizations.

There are many such nets in the void. The smallest part of them may only be able to connect a continent, a floating island, a spiritual realm or a planet; while the largest part can span the twenty-six quadrants. There is an unimaginable gap in the worldview between the two, and the vast world that stretches for countless millions of years stretches infinitely in the void.

Star Ring Federation, Kingdom of Gods.

Infinitely profound and endlessly prosperous.

Countless civilizations exist under the gaze of God. They may not know all this yet, or they may be wary and awe of unknown existences, or they may dedicate their loyalty and lives to powerful existences...

In fact, God does not need them, but God will accept them - as long as they make the children live happier within the permitted limits.

But...

Since there are "good kids" in the void, there must be "bad kids" and even "bad kids".

If some naughty or bad children go too far, the "parents" may spank them, give them various punishments, or even physically "put them back in their mothers' wombs to wait for rebirth."

…

For the [Star Ring Federation], a name that contains infinite meaning, and the owner of this name, that extremely large, extremely powerful, and unimaginable union civilization of gods that is almost legendary, mortals at different stages of development and with different life forms are facing each other. Their understanding and knowledge are all different - a group of great magisters who transcend saints, a group of aliens or extraterrestrials with extremely high technology, a group of thinkers who can use their thoughts to change the world, and a group of locusts that occupy endless resources. , a group of omniscient and omnipotent monsters who understand the past and present...

It doesn't matter what you think.

But there is one thing, which can be said to be an absolutely indisputable fact recognized by most civilizations in the void:

If you temporarily forget those three similar entities on the other side of the "other side of existence" that are so far away that even logic and imagination cannot outline, then the [Star Ring Federation] is the overlord of the void in the absolute sense - strength, attitude, and thought. Everything else proves that this view is unique and absolutely correct.

"Although this experimental area was established at the initiative of the children, and there is indeed no lack of precedent for such a situation, it's just that... is it really appropriate?"

"Don't worry too much. In many cases, distance creates beauty. Anyway, there is no gate to the world, and they can't cut each other through the network cable. Besides, you have to clearly distinguish the difference between jokes and diplomatic rhetoric."

"But... yes, distance can indeed block real contact and friction, but..."

"Don't ignore our own role. Moreover, don't forget - blood is thicker than water, and your worries come from mortals. The same is true for this saying that has been spread in countless worlds. The civilizations in this experimental zone have all stood Together, we shed blood in the stars to resist disaster. The emotions and connections involved cannot be provoked by one or a few jokes."

"Also, don't forget that you and I are still here, and don't forget the role we can play..."

"But our role... seems to be to help the children clean up their messes and spank them... the speed at which they do things is always surprising."

"That's true, but there are many things...don't worry so much, just look at the children's little creativity, their summaries are always unexpectedly interesting."

"Having goals is a good thing, but the goal is too high...Tsk, this is not a goal...it's quite interesting. Hey, don't say it's true, it makes sense. How many worlds has this thing spread to?"

"I don't know, but I guess... there should be a similar version on the other side."

"What?! How long have we been on Mars?!"

"...Which one is Mars?"

【……】

[Not even close. 】

Between the worlds, some secret information flow caused slight ripples on the barrier.

They are all in a state of extreme encryption, and it is impossible for outsiders without authorization to see through the mysteries.

…Who knows?

…

Star Empire – Observer Parliament Authorized Agreement Zone.

Ω(24)–26927 World Branch Zenith.

This dim and vast space does not belong to any orderly world.

The teachings and guidance of the gods gave the empire the ability to create this solid and huge sustainable order field in the void in a clever and clever way.

In the center of the dim space, an unimaginably huge pyramid stood out of thin air. The regular and tight crystal information array near the top of the pyramid perfectly blended with the "metal" body of the tower. In every space order around the pyramid, there are countless light crystal spiers arranged in a certain orderly manner. On the arrow-shaped spire of each tower, there is a light spot that flickers on and off - occasionally, those light spots will become brighter, and then turn into a beam of golden light, shooting towards the top of the pyramid.

At the tip of the pyramid, there is a sword made of light that pierces the dark ceiling. This is the eternal light released from the core of the Zenith. Each such light pillar reflects the countless worlds in the entire branch of order, and connects the order and existence stability of these worlds with the empire. Connected with Kings and Gods.

And in the clear and dark order field space around the pyramid, streams of light flashed from time to time...

The invisible barriers built up by the power of general concepts and strong laws ensure the stability of giant facilities.

…

"This stage of duty has ended. There are no major incidents that require intervention. There are no major distortions within the territorial jurisdiction. The relationship with the Nine Heavens in the Empire Quadrant is stable. There is no need to take any out-of-process measures - enter a periodic silent state."

Near the top of the pyramid, two figures in white-gold imperial military uniforms condensed from the stream of light. Around them, the seemingly sharp "spire" of the pyramid expanded into a vast land paved with "alloys" and crystals. A majestic beam of light with a width of hundreds of millions of starry kilometers rises from the earth and points to the sky in the self-defined concept of order. This beam of light is so broad that for these two figures, it is almost like a Great Wall, as if Include everything.

"...Every time I see this scene, I feel extremely spectacular...In the entire empire, there are not many facilities bigger than the core of the Zenith." The majestic shape of the pyramid was reflected in the pale golden pupils of a figure. , "The core not only has a powerful protection system and order extension system, but inside this giant tower, there is also an entire empire's full expedition fleet stationed..."

"After all, it corresponds to countless worlds of order. It is responsible for its own functions, the entire empire and the gods, and the countless worlds and countless civilizations that exist in the world. If it were not so solid and With such a majestic body, I'm afraid it can't even undertake such an important task... There's nothing we can do about it." The words of another figure rang out softly, and the facts emerged from the space, and were accurately transmitted to the other person. a companion.

"I know this, but... maybe I am still too young. I have never been able to understand why it is necessary to prepare such a huge military force at such a node... Zenith should not be directly involved in events and wars."

"You're right." A hand patted his shoulder, "Zenith is not directly involved in the war. It reserves such a large team here... On the one hand, it is because of the history of the empire. You must understand, but it may take time to understand..."

"On the other hand, let me put it bluntly, be careful of some really heartless Tiehanhan - there are indeed few of them, but the void is so big, you can't rule out the possibility of such existence." Another A figure smiled softly, "Don't forget, our ranking in the "Process Sequence" is not low."

"Uh... is that process... serious?"

"Who knows? Anyway, if you just look at the stage results and the overall trend, then it is indeed no problem. It is said that many civilizations have actually studied them as formal intelligence... Many things need to really reach that level to understand... …So are we."

"It is said...that we have traveled four trillion...years."

"That's right, every civilization that can understand them and the path to simplicity has to go through this. Okay, after all the hard work, let's talk about something more relaxed, like... look at those jokes again?"

…

appendix:

"The process a civilization should go through if it wants to become the overlord of the void"

Order never stops developing, and it never minds its development. There are many paths in the void, and each one can lead to success.

However, many times, simple and out-of-control forces may block many originally wide roads and lead civilization astray - cornered, stubborn, iron-headed... Mortals describe some existences like this.

If you stick to one path and go to the dark side - conquer everything with sheer force... take a look, how far can you go? Opportunities are everywhere, but... there seems to be no regret medicine.

In unspecified areas, participants have the opportunity to exit without harm at any time and all progress will be retained.

Activation mission: Successfully create a "traversable gadget".

Difficulty: Hard.

Description: The Void Engine and the World Gate are one of the most basic requirements for a civilization to survive in the void for a long time. Successfully creating them will mean that the immortality of your civilization will not need to be attached to any material foundation.

Reward: None.

Special: Possibility to obtain DEBUFF: The worldview is broken - the development of civilization stagnates or regresses, and the civilization's knowledge system completely collapses. Obtain a Neutral Mark: Gaze.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Advanced tasks: The last one must be completed, other tasks are unrestricted.

Mission 1: Diverse territories.

Difficulty: Hard.

Description: The difficulties that need to be faced to cross the world are unimaginable for a civilization surviving in a single world. What exactly is the new world like, how does it work, how to overcome the gaps between worlds, how to adapt your civilization to differences and seek balance——

This is the first hurdle you encounter when preparing to move into the void.

Reward: Certificate of Adaptation (useless).

Special: Since the coordinates of the void where the world is located are different, everything between worlds is also different - it is possible to obtain DEBUFF: Split.

——

Task 2: Small intervals within the quadrant.

Difficulty: Very difficult

Description: The definition of the void quadrant is based on whether the standard basic void engine manufactured in this quadrant can be started. Void engines operate based on the self-consistency of logic and mathematics. The difference in a single quadrant may not be enough to shut them down completely, but it can make their operation extremely difficult.

Reward: Logic expansion, information structure solving speed +50%.

Special: Obtain DEBUFF: hidden hostility, +30% chance of being attacked. If you follow the void navigation safety management regulations, no events will be triggered. If you do not comply with the regulations, you will gain DEBUFF: the power of the rules, and your civilization will have a probability of completely stagnating at the current level, or completely losing everything related to void navigation technology. Base. Once the worst outcome is triggered, start all over again.

——

Task 3: Purify the troubled sea.

Difficulty: Extremely difficult.

Description: The Chaotic Sea is an unquantifiable phenomenon in the endless void. It will cause the world to collapse and order to return to zero. Purifying the exit from the chaotic sea will mean that your civilization has the ability to survive on its own, or to persist until support arrives.

Reward: God's Gaze II, obtaining support speed +50%.

Special: When a chaotic sea exit appears in a world of order, the combat effectiveness of your civilization in that world will be -90%, the probability of rebellion will be +500%, and the loss rate will be +200%. Everything in the universe will be your enemy. All stars have chaos +10000%, collision damage +1000%, explosion damage +3000%, real damage increased to 100%, law chaos, law damage +1000%. When everything is over, the world has a 90% chance of losing its use value, and your civilization has a 50% chance of encountering irreversible pollution. Crush them!

——

Task 4: Cross the quadrants.

Difficulty: Very Hard – Extremely Hard.

Description: At this step, all the logic and cognition of your civilization will be impacted from all directions. Maybe you can rely on forceful self-consistency to resist, or maybe you can find more skills, or maybe it takes a long time to repeat every step your civilization has taken. There are countless possibilities in the infinite void. See, fairness is never absolute.

Reward: World view compatibility resistance - resistance to the chaotic sea appears, resistance to the influence of the unknown world information structure and chaotic information appears, the specific resistance will be analyzed based on the specific situation.

Special: There is a chance to obtain BUFF: Invitation from the gods. You will have the opportunity to cooperate with the gods in some fields and obtain guidance from the gods. The speed of technological progress will be +80%. Hide DEBUFF: Technical dependency, cooperation will be terminated, recovery of the impact may take a long time, please choose carefully. DEBUFF: Supernumerary Corps - You have a 50% chance of being included in the ranks of supernumerary corps by other void super civilizations. After triggering this DEBUFF, BUFF will be triggered briefly: combat power +500%. Subsequently, the technological dependence of your civilization will be increased to 100%. If you do not accept it, a hostile DEBUFF may be triggered. Depending on the specific situation, your civilization may encounter multiple difficulties, ranging from being isolated to being trapped in a long-term war. Good luck.

Task 5: Omnidirectional adaptability.

Difficulty: Abyss.

Description: There are twenty-six logical categories of worlds currently discovered in the void. Solving the basic worldview of each category and making oneself completely resistant to it is the basis for civilization to spread its footprints all over the void.

Reward: Resistance to the chaotic sea is UP, resistance to the law of chaos is UP, and there is a small probability of obtaining BUFF: Disturbance force increase - when a civilization begins to have its own "inherent influence" in the void, the development trajectory of events within the civilization will be Tilt in the direction civilization desires. Good luck +20%, technological progress +50%.

Special: When you reach this point, you already have enough strength, and your efforts and success are also seen by everyone. You have a 50% probability of being accepted by the "Kings of the World" joint meeting and becoming a recognized Void Super. One of the civilizations, if you choose this path, the mission process will end early.

——

Task six: crush the fault zone.

Difficulty: Abyss.

Description: The Fault Zone is one of the most dangerous disasters that can occur in the void. Depending on the probability of the Chaos Sea breaking out, world density, and the comprehensive environment of the outbreak, the size of the fault zone varies greatly. A small fault zone environment may be composed of hundreds of corrupted world debris. The largest fault zone alone is enough to swallow the branches of the world. ——They are extremely rare, and even the immortal and great gods need to do their best to destroy them.

Your civilization needs to destroy at least one fault zone that according to the algorithm of the gods is equivalent to the total amount of information about 2 million to 10 million world wreckage, to prove that your civilization can truly not rely on the power of gods and survive alone in the void. Able to face any challenge.

Reward: None.

Special: The fracture zone battlefield is extremely dangerous. When the chaotic sea contamination range is wide enough and the intensity is high enough, they can even directly destroy logic. There is a 70% chance that your civilization will need to start over. If the long-term behavior of your civilization is considered by gods and human kings to require attention from the perspective of military and order security, after winning the battle, you will receive DEBUFF: Extremely Dangerous Calibration - 50% probability of being unable to continue development, 30% The probability has dropped significantly.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Challenge mission: Defeat the kings of the world (fight at least four king civilizations, completely destroy them or make them completely lose the possibility of recovery. The mortal pioneer contains at least three, and the weight civilization contains at least one.)

Difficulty: Inferno.

Description: Mortals have unlimited creativity, and their achievements can win heartfelt praise from the gods. They are an important part of the Star Ring Federation. Defeating them will mean you have the ability to step into God's battlefield.

Loss: Isolation +100%, Destiny Probability Suppression +100000%, Danger Marking +10000%. At this point, you will not be able to look back. Once you fail, you will be beyond redemption.

special:

1. The engagement must be quick enough. If possible, please complete all actions within a thousand years. Exceeding the time limit will trigger DEBUFF: Divine reinforcements, and all negative effects will be raised to the limit until one of the parties declares failure.

2. All weight civilizations may trigger hidden tasks after being attacked (excerpt):

Ⅰ. Ursula’s baseline.

As an ill-fated civilization, this civilization inherited one of the weight creations left by the former King of the World - Ursula's Pillar. Its essence is that it can cross the void and rely on the void field to carry out ultra-large-scale reality distortion. A super-wide-area reality reset creation. After being initially involved in the vortex created by this device, this civilization was destroyed several times by its own actions, and was later forced to reorganize due to the restorative stability properties of the weight creation. After a long time, they finally understood how to utilize this power, and made this power harmless, extended, expanded, and finally became a universal technology tree that could be widely used.

After meeting the gods and after a long period of exchange and communication, Ursula joined the throne of the kings of the world.

When your civilization attacks any of Ursula's territorial worlds for more than ten times, the event "Hume Storm" will be triggered - all the devices your civilization owns that contain "stable functions and meanings" will be reversed from their functional origins. Directional and reverse twisting strength +10000%.

The real-life stability weight of all creations owned by your civilization, including any war vehicles and order territories, is reduced by 99.99999%. The correlation strength and stability integrity of the narrative layer are reduced by 99%. All creations with Ursula's existence attributes are highly realistically stable. Degree +10000%, narrative layer correlation stability strength and fuzzy real compensation strength +700%, total amount of information addition and deletion operations and reaction speed +1000%. An army of reality resetters/reality warpers capable of displacing the slightest disturbance in the solid world into the most terrifying nightmare will come towards you like stars. The expansion rate of the reality resetter/reality warper armies is +1000%—— Crush them!

——

Ⅱ. The empire still exists.

The Star Empire was originally an inconspicuous "observed" civilization. After inheriting the Σ Weight creation Void Fierce Sun and the two Doomsday Arks, it had the basic possibility to survive in the endless corrupt wasteland.

Their encounter with the gods was relatively recent, but many parts of them can surprise both humans and gods.

The Star Empire must be completely destroyed within a thousand years, every emperor must be killed and all their military-industrial facilities must be completely destroyed. The weight creation that is the ancient foundation of the empire must be completely destroyed. Any incomplete attack will trigger the event "Memories of the War of Destruction":

The Void Fierce Sun Stellar Wind Field will trigger the BUFF: the intensity of all negative disturbances suffered by the Star Empire will be reduced by 99.99999%, the effectiveness strength and effectiveness weight of all creations in the Star Empire will be increased by 1000%, and the omnidirectional destiny probability of the Star Empire will be optimized by +1000%. Star Empire narrative layer connection strength +600%. The base strength of all battleship laws is +500%, the combat effectiveness is +500%, the repair speed is +100%, the virtual information projection/emergence ritual effect strength is +100%, and the manufacturing speed of all battleships is +500%. The imperial military power will be restored to its absolute peak within a year. Level 2 Hidden: The power of the "Swan Song Attack" of the Star Empire fleet is +1000%, crush them!

Ⅲ. The long river of time.

A civilization that is caught in the whirlpool of belonging created by the weight creation.

Destruction before leap.

Not even a god can fully see where they are.

They are located between order and void.

They have the ability to push one eye away from the linearly developed order network, gaze from nothingness, intervene, and even rewrite everything.

Yes, including themselves...

Fortunately, it is not too late, the order may still accept them, and in the extremely long future... everyone will have the opportunity to make up for some things.

——……! !

Attacking the phenomena and entities that may contain the intelligent individuals of the Long River Civilization will trigger the event "River Counterflow". The total amount of information that can be affected by the Long River Civilization is +10000%. The response speed of the information controlled by your own side is +10000%. Your civilization's Information response speed – 10000%, correlation and self-consistency with reality dropped by 99.999%, logical stability – 99.999%.

The past and future of your civilization will be folded, you will be monitored by your own eyes from all angles, and you will be killed in the past and the body and soul you will have in the future.

Break free and crush them!

EX – Challenge Mission: Ring of Stars – Defeat the Federation of Kings on Earth.

Difficulty: Inferno.

Description: Gods are stars, they shine brightly in the endless void, but if they are the only ones that illuminate the darkness, then the void would be too fragmented, too lonely and cold.

The stars are the gods, and the kings are the halos. As they move closer to the gods, they also radiate a variety of warmth into the void.

In the eyes of everyone who has survived the endless changes in time and space, real war never needs to be pretentious - in the face of a common threat, the beings of order will never stand idly by.

Reward: Ranked with the gods.

Special: The kings of the world represent the current highest level of mortal civilization in the void - this task may appear before any hidden task.

If you provoke this war, you will need to face the attacks of all the kings of the world at the same time, and you will need to resist the power of God...

Excerpt: Omnidirectional DEBUFF: metaphysical resistance – 99.99%, instrumental resistance – 99.99%, realistic logic stability – 99.9999%, narrative layer correlation strength – 99.9999%, linear logic stability – 99.999%, polymorphic information model Response speed – 99.9999%… Divine Punishment: Any world of order will begin to resist all control methods and attempts by your civilization.

When there are no current facilities, what does God rely on to manage the endless world?

Crush them!

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The ultimate mission: Defeat the Protoss coalition.

Difficulty: Epic.

Description: God represents order and truth to a considerable extent. Defeat them and you will have the opportunity to rewrite the definition of order and glory.

Reward: Void Overlord.

Special: Any event that may be defined by the star ring gods as a "void upheaval" will trigger "Unification" and "Unnamed Expedition" - the coalition composed of all the gods will use the World Ark as the core to attack your civilization from all levels. Launch an attack. Special BUFF: Fusion of Order - Heaven on Earth - All negative DEBUFF effects that the Protoss need to face are reduced by 99.999999999999%, the power strength of the Protoss coalition +10000%, the difficulty of power struggle +10000%, the omnidirectional protection concept of all hostile targets is weakened by 99.9999%, all The self-consistent rationality of the existence of hostile targets is –99.9999%, and the causal stability is –99.999%. The complete activation of the kingdom of heaven on earth requires huge costs and extreme circumstances. Within the kingdom of heaven on earth, God’s power will be infinitely close to omniscience and omnipotence. Hidden stage: Declaration of Source Will, triggering will cause all tasks to fail and your civilization needs to be restarted.

This is the last test before your civilization takes over the void. Crush them!

EX – The ultimate mission: subdue the void creatures.

Difficulty: Dreams contain everything.

Description: The Will of the Void is the embodiment of order in the void. It is impossible to accurately describe them by any means of order. They are everything. Make sure you have the ability to banish them at any time, or cause them to collapse for eternity.

How can a little bit of brilliance blooming from a small safe island overwhelm the endless vastness of the sky and the infinite depth of the sea?

Reward: Upper level narrative.

Special: When you transcend zero and everything and everything, you will truly become an existence that breaks the fourth wall, and the void will no longer be supreme and eternal.

…

"What are all these...? I don't even know that the empire is so powerful...Do your Majesty and the commanders know? Do the other kings and colleagues know that they are so powerful? Besides, who would fight this kind of war? Why don’t you fight? By the way, what is the fourth wall? It’s that pile of greasy screen mua???”

"Don't worry so much. Sometimes, it might be more interesting to exaggerate. Anyway, there is no crime in oral pleasure..."

"This... makes sense, but it doesn't make sense..."

"Schrödinger's principle..."

"Who is Schrödinger?"
