Chapter 809 Dangerous Relics

This is the first time that Gao Gong has seen the existence of cosmic relics. Even if Gao Gong successfully ascended three times in a row and transformed into a sixth-level virtual master, he was only acting as a leader of civilization. In the process of visiting some super civilizations, he was far away. Glanced.

Even super civilizations treasure treasures such as cosmic relics to the extreme. They can only be viewed from a distance, and in many cases, the cosmic relics that can be viewed from a distance are not even the relics themselves.

However, in the process of eating the melon, Gao Gong confirmed one thing.

 For cosmic relics, any 'exploration' skills are useless.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. As soon as the ‘exploration’ was released, it disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.

 Can’t even print out the name.

 So this is the first time that Gao Gong has heard that this cosmic relic has mutated from an "evolution modifier" to a "civilization evolver".

The 'evolutionary modifier' is most likely the attribute that this cosmic relic should have. The Space-Time Administration cooperates with some super civilizations and will station space-time technicians in the civilization. With the help of these technicians, the super civilization can peek In the future, through the timeline of the successful synthesis of the relic, you can master the ability of this relic in advance.

 ‘Evolution modifier’, that’s most likely how it came about.

But why it became a ‘civilization evolver’, you have to ask the person involved.

  “It chose itself.”

Following the words of the Deep Web, the lines and boxes disappeared, replaced by a long corridor. The entire corridor seemed to be condensed from time, containing endless technological evolution. At a glance, it seemed that one could see something The process of a civilization from its rise to its demise.

At the end of the corridor, there is the figure of Shenwang, but at this time, Shenwang is sitting on a bench made of time, smiling at the senior engineer.

 She patted the side next to her. The senior engineer did not sit down, but asked curiously: "What is your state now?"

 “Like you in the future, a super-dimensional life.”

The deep network in front of him suddenly disappeared, but Gao Gong could feel that the other party was peeping at him at every angle of time.

 “Have you mastered the changes in time parameters?”

Since there are space parameters, there are naturally time parameters, and understanding the time parameters is the prerequisite for becoming a super-dimensional life, because only super-dimensional life can see the future.

“You will know it when you sit down.”

Gao Gong glanced at the chair and finally sat down. At the moment he sat down, his consciousness had a 'boom', as if he had experienced the Big Bang, from a 'singularity' to everything at once.

 He seemed to see the birth and destruction of everything in the process of time changing.

 Finally, the picture freezes on a strange creature.

This creature is translucent and almost fills a large box. The outline of this creature is like a big bug, but the only organ on its body is a densely covered mouth. These mouths are moving unconsciously. Open the mouth, the mouth appears, close the mouth, the mouth disappears.

 “Is this the true nature of the memory worm?”

 The identity of the fifth-level information life cannot be seen by lower-level lives. Even if a high-level engineer opens his divine consciousness, he can only see part of it—because the opponent is too large.

 Now, Gao Gong finally sees its entire body.

“Yes, its existence affects the synthesis environment and interferes with the properties of the relic,” Shen Wang said.

“The purely chaotic environment makes the relics of the universe more inclined to evolve into beings that can suppress it. Such beings are not individuals, but civilizations.”

Soon, humanoid outlines as big as rice grains appeared. Then, mouths appeared and opened, and memory worms wormed their way into the humanoid bodies. Worms are people, and people are worms.

 “Is this the past or the future?”

 “Both the past and the future.”

Gao Gong narrowed his eyes and said:

“So, in the not-too-distant future, I will let everyone absorb the memory worm and become its host?”

"Isn't this natural? Who would be willing to give up a dead fifth-level life? And I can help you seal its evolution at the information level, but the anchor point at the material level must be inherited by the life form itself."

“So, I divided the memory worm into two parts: ‘memory’ and ‘worm’?”

"Yes."

 Before this, the senior engineer did have vague ideas, but now, not only did he have an idea, but he also had the operating steps informed in advance.

“So, seeing the future is one of your abilities?”

"To be precise, it is a person's future, and the more familiar this person is, the better." Shenwang appeared again and shrugged. "As for strangers, that's okay, but there is a certain probability that they will be discovered. You should use it with caution. This move; if someone knows that there is a cosmic relic in your hands, believe me, your end will definitely be miserable, you don’t need to know this to be clear."

 Of course Gao Gong understands.

 Being able to predict the future means that he can predict and avoid "future" risks in advance.

 This is an ability that can be called a bug.

"But this shouldn't be your strongest ability," although this ability is exaggerated enough, Gao Gong still said, "Since you said that this cosmic relic is called the 'Civilization Evolver,' then, the strongest ability of this cosmic relic is, It should have something to do with civilization.” Shenwang’s expression was very complicated, including excitement and regret.

"It is indeed related to civilization. To put it simply, its ability is one, no, it should be hundreds of cyber test sites operating at the same time. As long as there is a seed, it will take root and sprout, evolving into the technological tree of the entire civilization. .”

Gao Gong was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but said: "Don't tell me, it can evolve knowledge!"

 Shen Wang nodded vigorously.

According to Shenwang, the ability of the ‘Civilization Evolver’ is to evolve an entire civilization technology tree.

For example, if you master a 'third-level professional knowledge', it can automatically evolve this 'technological branch' and deduce all the professional knowledge in the entire camp knowledge chain.

  If you obtain an entire expertise chain, then, given enough time, it can also evolve other expertise chains in the civilization panel.

“…So, even the professional knowledge of a ninth-level civilization can evolve?”

Shenwang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

Gao Gong and Shen Wang looked at each other, and Gao Gong said with an extremely solemn expression: "This matter must be kept secret! Otherwise, I will definitely be hunted down by advanced civilizations, and you will most likely be imprisoned in the core area of ​​the ninth-level civilization. He said that even if it takes a hundred years, a million years, or ten million years, he will not be released!"

 Shenwang nodded in agreement.

 From the perspective of relics, this is a somewhat useless and extremely buggy ability.

 In a short period of time, it will not increase the user's power at all, and there is no need to even think about the legion of super soldiers that Gao Gong imagined.

 But from a civilizational perspective, this is a cosmic relic that will be destroyed if it is not obtained.

 The reason is simple. It can break through the ‘civilization lock’ created by advanced civilizations.

In order to prevent the leakage of technology (the most important thing is the leakage of technology trees), advanced civilizations do their best, such as bloodline locks, gene locks, dark jungle laws, civilization dimensionality enhancement, etc. The only purpose is to prevent other civilizations from developing weapons against themselves. technology, starting a technology tree war.

After all, among advanced civilizations (civilizations above level 6), resources, population, environment, etc. are no longer problems. For example, the seventh-level ancient civilization behind the mother city has a perpetual motion machine; and the competition and destruction of the technology tree, This is the source of friction between advanced civilizations.

For example, if an emerging civilization develops in a direction that an advanced civilization does not want to see, then this advanced civilization will destroy it at all costs.

 The current situation of Gao Gong is even more dangerous.

Because the ‘Civilization Evolver’ can not only evolve civilization knowledge, it can even deduce the knowledge of ninth-level civilization, commonly known as ‘ultimate knowledge’.

You must know that since this universe has evolved for more than 20 billion years, only six level nine civilizations have evolved. These six behemoths joined forces to form the Civilization Parliament.

 There is a rumor among advanced civilizations that the number of ninth-level civilizations has reached the upper limit, and it is impossible for new ninth-level civilizations to be born.

 And the ‘Civilization Evolver’ came out.

 All ambitious super civilizations will have red eyes.

 Similarly, it is even less likely that the ninth-level civilization would be willing to add another ultimate civilization to share power with them.

After the surprise, both Gao Gong and Shen Wang realized that their current situation was probably not much better than before. The cyber tide set off by a fifth-level information creature would kill half of their lives, let alone hiding in the cave. Those super civilizations deep in the universe.

 “We have to leave this planet quickly,” Shenwang said urgently.

Gao Gong paced a few times and shook his head.

“No, if you leave now, you will only look guilty. Now may be an opportunity.”

"what chance?"

 “An opportunity to use the tiger skin as a banner.”

Based on Gao Gong's memories of his previous life and his experience in this life, he can be sure that there is not only one cyber testing site on the Mecha Star, but one controlled by the seventh-level ancient civilization. All cyber testing sites have been attacked.

The purpose of those supreme beings, and even the beings behind the supreme beings, is to use these cyber testing grounds to indirectly attack the seventh-level ancient civilization.

 Now, because of an off-site factor like Gao Gong, the cyber wave has ended half a year ahead of schedule.

 The current situation is that, except for the Mecha Star, other experimental planets are still in dire straits.

In this case, if it works well, the senior engineer can definitely take the skin of the seventh-level civilization when leaving this planet.

As a peripheral force of a seventh-level civilization, isn’t it natural that civilization develops rapidly?

Of course, advanced civilizations are not fools. They have to find a very good reason to wear this skin.

 For example, hunting down the ‘Supreme One’ is a good reason.

 What could be more convenient for solving the case than the victim helping to catch the murderer.
