The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

What exactly are the ruins of the universe? Even the Supreme Council cannot answer this question. Where exactly are the ruins of the universe? This question is equally unanswerable.

The first people who discovered the ruins of the universe were not those high-ranking higher life forms, but some space expedition teams composed of different alien races and full of infinite curiosity.

When this team was exploring the unknown cosmic space, they were accidentally pulled into the subspace by a subspace rift, and encountered a burst of subspace turbulence. When they were about to escape from the turbulent flow, they unexpectedly discovered that there was a magical space in the turbulent flow of the subspace that was never affected by the turbulent flow of the surrounding subspace. Various objects in the space are stuffed into this space by the turbulent flow.

It's just that this team was curious about that space, and when they wanted to explore it, they were swept away by the turbulent flow of the subspace and taken to other places.

When this team returned to their base on the edge of the planet, and wrote a paper on what they saw and heard in the subspace, and published it in journals of various advanced civilizations, many people who had read this paper thought the so-called The mysterious space of subspace turbulence scoffed, because even the hardest matter in the universe cannot stay in the subspace turbulence for a long time, let alone a fragile space.

However, after that, other people discovered the mysterious space in the turbulent flow of the subspace one after another. The number of discoveries increased, which naturally attracted the attention of the Supreme Council.

After a period of time, the Supreme Council also announced the existence of a mysterious space in the subspace turbulence, and named this space the ruins of the universe.

The reason for such a name is that the Supreme Council found that this space seems to have some kind of cosmic rules, which can manipulate subspace turbulence to devour various characteristics representing this cosmic civilization from the ruins of various civilizations in the universe, and then inhale the space. middle.

The strangest thing is that some ordinary objects can be easily sucked into the space, but when the powerful presence of the Supreme Council approaches that space, they find that the space in front of them does not seem to exist, it is just an illusion, even if there are objects Passing through him and entering that space, he still has a psionic spirit attached to that object, but he still can't feel the existence of that space. The object would disappear instantly after entering the space, but his psionic spirit was directly stripped from the object and left in a turbulent subspace.

Therefore, the Supreme Council has always been ignorant of this mysterious space. It can only be analyzed from the point that it controls the turbulent flow of the subspace to swallow the ruins of the vanished civilization, and named it the ruins of the universe.

Although for a period of time, this mysterious cosmic ruin in the turbulence of the subspace attracted the attention of many advanced civilizations and powerful life forms. With the turbulent flow of the subspace, the mysterious space wanders, but in the end, nothing is found. This kind of result is fine once or twice, but it is the same every time. No matter how rich and advanced civilizations are, no matter how powerful life forms are, they will not be able to bear this kind of continuous failure, so the exploration of the ruins of the universe has emerged. After a while, it quickly fell silent.

In the era of Leo, almost no one would mention the ruins of the universe anymore. Even if they mentioned it, they only regarded it as a mysterious cosmic phenomenon. Seeing the ruins of the universe in the turbulent flow is considered a lucky thing, just like the people in the ignorant age of the old earth saw the meteor shower.

"How do you know it's the ruins of the universe?" Leo couldn't help being curious and asked.

Mia responded: "Because I came here from the ruins of the universe."

Speaking of this, Mia paused for a moment, raised her hand, and all the surrounding walls disappeared, turning into a scene outside the crystal spaceship. It felt like standing on an open-air platform. At this time, she said: "Here It's amazing, time, space, and laws are all chaotic, and the only thing that won't change is death. No matter what kind of existence exists, it will gradually decline here. Maybe there is a way to slow down the speed of death, or even make death Pause, but it is never possible to reverse the consequences of demise."

I saw Mia raised her hand and pointed at a fuzzy snow mountain in the distance. The scene in front of her was like entering the state of a telescope. She instantly zoomed in on the snow mountain and saw the snow mountain at the same time.

It is not appropriate to say that this is a snow-capped mountain. This is a huge city like a majestic mountain, but it is completely covered by ice and snow from the bottom, and only a dome of the topmost building is exposed. Some humanoid creatures walking on the city streets seem to be frozen in ice and snow in an instant, even time is no exception.

In terms of grandeur alone, this snow-frozen city far surpasses the city of giants on Yam Island, and its exquisiteness is not weaker than that of the city of the gods. It is conceivable that the people who built this city must be different. In general, at least the giants of Guha and the gods of Anor Londo exist.

Mia pointed to the frozen giant city and said something, but her voice didn't sound like language, but rather like some kind of rhythmic crooning, and then she heard her explain: "What I just said It is the name of this city. In our words, it means City of Glory. The people who rule this city, or the world where this city is located, are called the Glory Clan. Each of them is an Omega-level high-level Life forms, even the gods of Anor Londo can't compare with it. But such a group, which can be called great in the universe, decays without resistance when it comes to an end, and has to use This freezing is an extreme method to freeze the time of group decay."

Hearing this, Leo couldn't help hesitating for a moment, wondering: "Isn't it only the extinct civilizations that are pulled here by the subspace turbulence? This civilization is obviously still in its thriving period, why..."

Before the question was finished, Mia replied: "Didn't I say it? This is not our universe, this is the space of the ruins of the universe. Whether it is Anor Londe or the Glorious Clan, they are all civilized worlds formed in the ruins of the universe. .”

Leo was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Isn't this the place where everything ends? Why can civilization and such a powerful race be produced?"

"Whoever tells you that the land where everything ends can't give birth to civilization." Mia asked Leo back, and then asked herself and answered: "Don't forget, the ruins of the universe contain the remains of all the dying civilizations in the universe. Some remains will leave some embers of civilization, a small amount of embers of civilization will not have any effect, but once the embers of civilization accumulate to a certain extent, it will become the fire of civilization, and this dead world will naturally produce a civilization until the flames are extinguished."

Hearing this, Leo suddenly thought of the world of Velen, and couldn't help asking: "The last place where the survivors of the giants of Guha were..."

"It's not in the ruins of the universe." Before Leo finished speaking, Mia saw through his thoughts and replied, "That's the world of the Devil Nebula, not the ruins of the universe. But compared to the ruins of the universe, there Not much better."

"What do you mean?" Leo frowned and asked.

It's just that Mia didn't seem to want to say more about the Devil Nebula, ignored Leo's questioning, changed the surrounding scene back to the original, and then said a little coldly: "I got some Yinatoms I wanted from you. The code, as a transaction, I also told you some things you didn't know, I believe it is enough to compensate you, if you have no other questions, then you can leave."

Leo could feel the change in Mia's attitude, and he could also feel that the current Mia seemed to have transformed into a bionic intelligence. After a little silence, he turned and walked outside. When he was approaching the door, he stopped suddenly He turned around and asked, "I experienced some things in the Land of the End last time, but when I left, some of my memories disappeared. Can you restore that memory for me?"

"No." Mia shook her head without thinking, and said, "I can't recover a memory that doesn't exist."

"Memories that don't exist?" Leo was stunned when he heard this.

When he was about to ask for more details, he saw Mia waving at him, and the scene in front of him changed instantly. He also moved from the intelligence center room on the upper bridge to outside the crystal spaceship.

Although the last request did not get the desired result, Leo had already obtained enough information from Mia's answer. The memory of his return to Velen's world from the big library does not exist in his brain, so things will go smoothly. There are only two possibilities, one is that the external force completely erased his memory, and the other is that the memory does not belong to him.

Compared with the first kind of external force to erase memory, Leo feels that the second possibility may be greater. After all, no matter how powerful an existence is to erase his memory, it will always leave some traces, and even hurt his spiritual consciousness , but his spiritual consciousness has not been damaged at all, which shows that the first possibility is almost non-existent.

As for the second possibility, it is even bigger, for example, his body is occupied and controlled by others. At that time, there were many kinds of power in his body, from the unspeakable existence behind the bloodline, to the power of Nightmare's nightmare, etc., all far exceeded his strength at that time, and it was not wrong to be reversely controlled by the power What is difficult, that's why he doesn't have that memory.

It's just that neither of these two possibilities is a good thing for Leo, because it means that there is a powerful existence that can completely control him at any time, which is different from when he was a cyborg. It makes no difference when the emergency controls are implanted.

Although this feeling of being controlled by others made Leo feel very uncomfortable, but fortunately, the years of experience of the biochemical man have made him used to this state, and his mentality can be adjusted quickly, and he no longer thinks about this matter. After all, he now knows too few clues, and no matter how much he thinks, he will not be able to find a solution, which will only increase his troubles. It is better to observe the situation carefully when the problem reappears, and maybe he can find some useful clues.

Leo cleared up his mood, and then quickly sorted out the harvest. I have to say that the harvest this time is still great. Many mysteries in my heart have been solved, but there are still some mysteries that have not been answered. If possible, he I also want to ask this bionic intelligence that has begun to evolve, and completely solve these mysteries related to the Via people and the world of Velen.

However, he knew better that even if he managed to return to the intelligence center room, he might not be able to get a useful answer from Mia, because judging from Mia's reaction just now, the Devil Nebula seems to be some kind of taboo , Just mentioning it, Mia changed her mood and sent him directly out of the central room.

After thinking it over, Leo no longer spent time staying here, and moved towards the jungle where the heart of the tree was most likely to grow according to the geographical location in his memory.

Now in Leo's mind is not only the map provided by Fire Defense Girl, but also the three-dimensional map provided by Mia, and the content of the three-dimensional map provided by Mita is more detailed. The psychic creatures are all marked, and the countermeasures are also marked in the additional content as a reminder, making Leo feel as easy as visiting his own back garden in this dangerous place.

In less than two hours, he had arrived outside the forest, but instead of going any further, he was walking back and forth outside the forest and searching everywhere, as if he was looking for something.

The heart of a tree is not something that can only be grown by a specific plant. As long as it is a tree, it is possible to grow a heart of the tree. The only difference is the strength of the effect of the heart of the tree.

The jungle Leo found was the most lush and tallest tree jungle in the small garden he could see. These trees looked more like pine needle trees, but they were dozens of times taller than pine needle trees. Hundreds of times, but in the middle of such a lush forest of trees, there is a tree that grows extremely short.

According to what Leo knew from the information provided by Huofangnv, the growth of the heart of the tree requires a lot of nutrients, so the tree with the heart of the tree must pass most of the nutrients absorbed by the body to the heart of the tree, and the tree itself must not grow well. It is very tall, and it is very consistent with the situation of the somewhat abrupt small woodland in this jungle.

So Leo judged that there must be one or more tree cores growing in the small woodland.

However, it is not easy to enter this woodland, because this tree that looks like a pine needle tree magnified many times has another name, it is called the ancient war tree.

This kind of tree itself has a strong sense of attack and will attack any trespasser. The only thing that can avoid the attack is a kind of companion beast. This kind of beast can eat the parasitic vines at the root of the ancient war tree. The ancient tree of war grows, and what Leo is looking for now is the shed skin of this beast.
