The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

On a piece of land covered by ice, a building like an obelisk stands on the smooth surface of the ice layer. The part of the obelisk on the ground alone is already as high as 10,000 meters, while the part covered by the ice layer underground It is several times that of the ground, and not only the obelisk, but also countless magnificent and gorgeous buildings are completely covered by tens of thousands of meters of ice. The extremely cold temperature not only seals the space, but also seals the Time has passed, what it was like when it was frozen here, and it is still what it is now.

On the ice, Leo stood in front of the obelisk, scanning the ground and everything under the ice through the spiritual network. After years of special training, the scanning range of Leo's spiritual network has expanded At a range of thousands of kilometers, this is already the effect of a psyker's normal use of the spiritual network in the universe. If there is no interference from the surroundings, his spiritual network can expand hundreds of times outward, truly reaching the level of a galaxy.

Through the scan of the spiritual network, Leo quickly figured out the situation here. It is not so much a city as it is a civilized cemetery, just like the ruins accumulated by the civilizations in the place where everything ends. All the buildings here represent civilizations that appeared in the universe but disappeared one by one, and this tens of thousands of meters of obelisk contains a kind of permanent magnet, which is made by a higher civilization The storage device can store a large amount of data, and every permanent magnet here stores all the instructions of a vanished civilization. It is no exaggeration to say that this obelisk can be called the torch of cosmic civilization.

This cosmic civilization cemetery is one of the most important destinations of Leo's trip. In order to be able to come here, he spent more than a year looking for the laws of operation of the Weaver's giant net, and spent another half a year to determine Has this cemetery completely collapsed and fell into the subspace, and then it took almost half a year to move here using the web weaver's giant net.

It has been more than two years since he was tricked by the God of Death Gain to this relic of the highest council of the universe. In the past two years, he has not moved to the idea of ​​​​getting close to the Supreme Court, even if he has mastered the web weaver more than a year ago. The operation rules and usage methods of the giant net can move back and forth between different parliamentary fragments within the tolerance range of the giant net. He still didn't think about going to the Supreme Court, because he didn't feel safe enough.

In order to increase his sense of security and make his followers stronger, he chose this cemetery specially built by the Supreme Council of the universe for those universe civilizations that have disappeared as his final destination to the Supreme Court. one stop.

This cosmic civilization cemetery is an extremely famous cosmic spectacle. It is built on a planet completely composed of water in the universe’s highest council sector. Every cosmic civilization cemetery is the most representative building of that civilization. In this water sphere, by solidifying its space and time, it can exist forever.

In all the books of the Earth Federation that record the supreme council of the universe, this cosmic civilization cemetery must be recorded, which makes Leo no stranger to this place.

The reason why he chose this place as the last battle to the Supreme Court is mainly because he wanted to use the almost endless fire left over from cosmic civilization to repair the Stone Throne and make the power of the Stone Throne more complete, so that even if he encountered anything The irresistible danger makes him more confident of leaving the High Court safely. Even if he can't leave, at least he can guarantee that he will not be in danger of life before the next random teleportation and amnesia.

At the beginning, he thought that the cemetery of the cosmic civilization had disintegrated and scattered into the subspace or the world tree like other fragments of the supreme council of the universe, but soon he found the shadow of the cemetery of the cosmic civilization in his memory, because before him When I came here several times, I accidentally went to the cemetery of cosmic civilization.

Although there is a detailed process of going to the cemetery of cosmic civilization in his memory, at that time he did not analyze the use method of the Weaver's giant net, and the transmission between fragments was random, so that time he went to the cemetery of cosmic civilization The process is almost impossible to replicate.

Fortunately, he still remembered all the reactions that occurred on his body during the random teleportation, especially the reaction of the power of the web weaver, and then by comparing the reactions, he finally found the azimuth frequency that inspired him to go to the cemetery of cosmic civilization through the giant net. After a lot of trial and error, I ended up at this cemetery.

After coming here, Leo couldn't wait to use a tricky method, trying to directly ingest the remaining traces of civilization on these buildings through the spirit network skills, so as to condense the fire of civilization.

I don't know if the builders of the cemetery expected that someone would use this tricky method, or they did it when they originally designed the cemetery. Although the representative buildings from different universe civilizations are well preserved, there is no trace of civilization on them. Yes, these buildings are no different from ordinary stones in Leo's spiritual network.

After trying to no avail, Leo could only follow the original rules here, by touching the permanent magnets on the obelisk that contained the fire of cosmic civilization, read the knowledge of cosmic civilization recorded in it one by one, and then in consciousness Gather the fire of civilization in the middle, and then let the stone throne absorb it.

The whole process is boring and tedious. It is to touch the permanent magnets one by one, stimulate them with spiritual energy, awaken the knowledge of civilization in them, and let them be instilled into the brain through some kind of spiritual imprint.

At first, Leo was in a hurry, because he thought that only when he understood the knowledge of civilization could he form the fire of civilization in his consciousness, so after the imprint of knowledge was imprinted, he was busy absorbing and sorting out the knowledge in these imprints, Allow yourself to figure out what's in it.

However, how could the knowledge of a cosmic civilization be absorbed so easily? Even an omega-level advanced life body needs a long time of study to fully integrate this knowledge, which makes Leo often need to spend a lot of time. It took two months to condense into a fire of civilization. The slow speed made Leo suspect that it might take thousands of years to learn all the permanent magnets in the room covered by the ground, and the ones under the ice may have to It takes thousands of years to do it.

It was also because he felt that it took too long, so Leo began to look for an easier method, and finally let him find it, or this method already exists, but he didn't care about it before, but now it's just Just dig it out.

This method is very simple. It is to directly use the imprint of civilization knowledge injected into his brain by the permanent magnet as the core to condense the fire of civilization. It is possible to condense a fire of civilization, and it takes less than an hour.

After mastering this method, it took Leo more than a year to condense all the cosmic civilizations recorded by permanent magnets on the ground of the obelisk into civilization fire and inject them into the stone throne. I don’t know if it’s because These civilizations are all cosmic civilizations that have been extinct for countless years. The fire of civilization condensed by them cannot be compared with the fire of civilization that he collected knowledge from various worlds in the world tree, and it can even be said to be much worse. .

However, the lack of quality is enough to make up for it. After more than 10,000 civilization fires were injected into the Stone Throne, he was able to sense that the damage to the Stone Throne had been almost repaired by sitting on the Stone Throne, and the power contained in it was greater than that of the Stone Throne. It has more than doubled since more than a year ago.

Leo didn't continue to do anything to the part of the obelisk that was sealed by ice. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that the ice was too hard, and there were some mysterious energy waves that could interfere with any extraordinary power. It took a lot of effort and time to dig a passage into the obelisk below the ice, and it took even more effort to clear the ice that covered the permanent magnet without damaging it. Ultimately the amount of time he spends will be a staggering number.

Fortunately, the Stone Throne has stored enough power now, and the Stone Throne itself has almost recovered, so it should be able to deal with any danger he may encounter in the Supreme Court.

So Leo planned to leave the cemetery and go to a debris transfer station that could lead to the High Court.

Because none of the wires of the giant net is connected to the Supreme Court, it is basically impossible to go to the Supreme Court through the giant net. He can only go to the three fragments closest to the Supreme Court.

Where did these three fragments come from? Leo doesn’t have any information in his memory, but he can be sure that the three fragments of the Supreme Council of the universe must be related to the Supreme Court, because each fragment has a lot of information printed on it. The emblem of the High Court.

When Leo was training to use the giant net to walk through the ruins, he once went to one of the fragments. It was a completely deserted fragment. There were no creatures or buildings on it, and there were only various energy formations. The turbulent flow restricted area, and the energy in these turbulent flow restricted area will form a badge pattern of the Supreme Court every time it collapses and condenses.

In the environment full of energy turbulence, even Leo couldn't stay for a long time, but during the time he stayed, he saw a gust of energy rushing out of the ground, forming a star-like transition in the sky. Natural space passages such as doors.

Although Leo has never entered this passage, he can feel a powerful force from it, and the Supreme Court should be on the opposite side of the passage.

Now Leo intends to go to the High Court, but he is not going to choose the debris full of energy turbulence as a transfer station, because the space channel formed by the energy turbulence there is not stable, and there may be a disintegration in the middle at any time. It is even possible to form a new energy turbulence in the space channel. In that case, the place he will eventually go to may no longer be the Supreme Court, but an unknown subspace.

For his own safety, Leo spared no expense to go to the other two fragments closest to the High Court to check the situation there.

However, what disappointed him was that the situation there was not much better. It was also full of energy turbulence, and it was also an extremely unstable space channel. The only difference was that the space channel opened on the other two fragments led to The location of the Supreme Court is different.

After knowing the situation of the three space passages leading to the Supreme Court, it is not that Leo did not think not to go through these three passages, but to use space movement and other methods to directly pass through the isolation zone between the ruins fragment area and the Supreme Court , arrived at Highgarden.

However, this idea quickly failed in the attempt, because the isolation zone between those fragments is all composed of subspace, and in subspace, time and space are chaotic and uncertain. If he If he travels directly through the subspace, the only result is that he is sent to some unknown location by the chaotic energy of the subspace. Of course, it is also possible that he will be sent to the Supreme Court, but the probability of this is very small, almost equal to nothing.

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, Leo still chose one of the fragments as a transfer station, and after the energy turbulence automatically formed a space rift pointing to the High Court, he directly drilled into the space rift.

As Leo expected, this extremely unstable space rift contains a lot of traps formed by space turbulence, and is also full of various violent energy flows.

Although these space turbulence and energy flow are not particularly powerful in terms of power, Leo has enough ability to deal with them, but he did not rush into them head-on, but tried his best to avoid these turbulence and let himself Always keep it steady.

Along the way, Leo avoided the turbulent flow of space and energy without any risk, and finally arrived at the other end of the space channel safely.

However, when Leo recovered from the discomfort of traveling through the space channel and began to look around, he was completely stunned.

The reason why he was stunned was not how incredible the surrounding scene was, but because the surrounding scene was too ordinary.

What he saw in his eyes was an endless prairie, in the distance of the prairie there was a small forest composed of trees, and further away was a line of undulating mountains, the top of which was covered with a layer of white snow, and Because it was dusk, the sky was already a little dark. Looking up, you could see the stars in the sky, the scorching sun setting in the west and the rising moon in the east.

At the beginning, Leo just thought that this might be the world conceived by the World Tree, or it might be a special environment created by some power still existing in the Supreme Court. After all, for the giants of the Supreme Council of the universe, creating any environment It's all just a little effort.

However, when Leo saw clearly the position of the stars in the sky above his head and the shape of the sun and the moon, he instantly understood that the scene in front of him should come from the old earth. , the moon was transformed into a special weapon, and moved to the outer reaches of the galaxy to defend against possible enemies, so the moon would no longer be visible on the earth at that time.

After confirming that this is the earth, Leo quickly produced the corresponding memory in his mind, and also realized that the scene he saw now was before humans appeared in the old earth era, and it was also very possible It was the period when he acquired the talent of the undead.
