Chapter 412 Pages From the Past (A Brief History Λ)

"Less than a day."

"In this day, the empire once again fell from "heyday" to infinitely closer to destruction."

The out-of-control sun was torn apart by giant black and red hands, and the already crazy information structure violently spread outwards, even forming a powerful "supernova explosion" in the void. The wanton information storm swept through the fragmented battlefield. They even burned into the order correction wide-area fusion field of the Σ fleet that had not yet evacuated here, and turned the considerable Σ edge fleet into wreckage and left it here forever. .

"There is actually a dispute here - a dispute about the exact circumstances at that time, and what these circumstances actually mean. According to the recollections of their two majesties, after the outer structure of the sun was completely destroyed and triggered a supernova explosion, The remaining core remains of Lieyang were attacked by Doomsday-Creation at least once more, but the intensity of these attacks was very low and could no longer pose an effective threat to Lieyang's core structure."

"There may have been some unexpected events at the time that caused the Σ Fleet to make such an additional decision, but what the "emergency" part was, and what impact these doomsday-creations may have had... have not yet been determined."

When the battle came to an end, the endless thick clouds surrounding the Σ fleet began to disperse quickly, and the originally vast order correction wide-area fusion field seemed to have evaporated on the spot. The huge order field structure surrounding the fleet began to exude a faint red light, and then the huge fleet disappeared silently into the depths of the void. Only the debris cloud field and the Great Ruin Ring that surround the Blazing Sun star like a nebula are left. They are eroded by the void and continue to evaporate, telling all this in silence, and slowly moving towards eternal destruction in silence.

"Teacher, since we are still here, how did the empire survive at that time..."

"Think about it carefully... Who else was clearly highly active in previous history, but quietly disappeared without being explicitly mentioned as being killed?"

"...It seems there is?"

"I can't remember, I should have seen it just now..."

"Yes Yes……"

"Is it...His Majesty Vidoville and...the General Flagship?! Is this...is the border system in effect?!"

"That's right - this is the boundary line, which is equivalent to the top protection power of the three major attack mapping fragmentation layers of Σ. Even a small fragment of it, after spanning hundreds of millions of years and undergoing countless copies, has become It can play such an effect." The teacher nodded, "When His Majesty Vidoville finally confirmed that the empire at that time was impossible to withstand the massive attack of the Σ fleet, he did something."

"……What?"

"He gave up control and command of the then-Imperial fleet and activated the Border Line System, using it as a cover to remove the rulers of other regions of the Empire, a small number of senior scholars and states before the rest of the Empire was completely destroyed. Better basic life forms, as well as technical extreme deduction modules and samples of various creations used by the empire were preserved. Later, he used the starry remains of the blazing sun as a shelter and used the fully activated boundary line system to make himself completely invisible—— In this way, the fire of the Empire was preserved at that time.”

"this--"

"Well, how should we understand this kind of thing..."

"..."

"What do you think of these things? It is true that as the supreme ruler and commander, His Majesty Vidoville's behavior is tantamount to betraying the entire empire, and allowing such behavior is a trampling and slander of the imperial laws at that time. . From the perspective of those abandoned imperial beings, this situation has happened many times, and he should not be forgiven just like this."

"...However, from the perspective of information and meme inheritance, continuation represents success, and continuation represents victory. The information that can represent the meaning of the empire has been preserved. This is actually the development of the order information body in the void. The highest secret of continuation. As for more lives and more forms, at such a critical juncture, for the most core part... Although it is difficult for you and me to admit it, in fact, they can be cut off, Side branches that can be sacrificed to protect the core.”

"As for His Majesty Vidoville's specific approach... at least judging from the current discussions and research, there was no better way to solve this matter at that time. It can even be said that this was the only "rational" approach at that time. "The choice is just that this choice was made by one person, and he did not have time to discuss it with everyone beforehand. It can be said that, in addition to the situation at the time and the development range that may have shifted to that time, The Empire itself has no better solution."

"ΣThe "declaration" at that time spread to an area that was far beyond the limit that the empire's technology could reach when it was at its most powerful. Therefore, escape was rejected. Considering that the empire at that time could not fully survive in that environment Accept Σ's technology and ideas, and even if you accept it, Σ will still have more than five trillion years of "total time" on the main axis level - at that time, the total historical span of the empire is only the sum of tens of billions of sequential time years. The scale of the million-level spindle total time and years is too different, and the gap is almost impossible to equal."

"Therefore, the frontal battle was rejected. After Σ was completely eroded by the high concentration of death tide, all creation has been considered to have lost the wisdom and consciousness that can be understood by us. Therefore, reconciliation and negotiation were rejected..."

"The only possibility is to be chosen by a person who should least do such a behavior. Countless sins and heaviness have been engraved and accumulated since then, and an era has been completely abandoned without any discussion. And in the end, After a long period of interaction between the preserved fire and external forces, new vitality was born.”

"……hard to imagine."

"..."

"Therefore, this is beyond the scope of understanding and evaluation of a single intelligence or certain intelligences. We may be able to look at the whole thing over and over again, but we are not in the whirlpool, we are standing on a higher place People who look back at history — we don’t represent that era.”

"The empire will experience many such things, and it also needs someone to face it and make decisions. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it may still be like this in the future. In the future, some of you may also sit in such a position, in In countless extreme pursuits, he abandoned all his bottom lines and made decisions that even he might despise."

"There are more contents in this - if you want to understand them, you must participate in advanced education. And when you enter a new stage, you will have permissions close to the standard citizens of the empire. Absolutely no one in the empire's territory. Most of the coordinates will be open to you. But at the same time, you will also assume responsibilities close to the standard citizens of the empire. When you enter that stage, the word "escape" will become farther and farther away from you... …”

When he said this, the teacher's voice seemed to be getting farther and farther away. And also getting further and further away, there is the former light and glory in the picture that is getting darker and darker.

The structure of the world was eroded by fleet artillery fire carrying strong pollution, and the fragments they fell gradually evaporated in the void. The vast amount of information spurting directly from the core of the Void Sun seems to slow down this process, but the Void possesses the most silent and ruthless power.

Everything exposed to it will eventually return to its source. First, there were the physical fragments of the world, and then there were the wreckage of the Imperial fleet that had not been directly killed.

The black materials used by Σ battleships look very special. They seem to be stronger and more durable than the materials used by the Empire's ships. They seem to be unmoved by the void.

It doesn't matter, all time and patience will eventually be in vain. Just before their time finally comes to an end, new variables will break this silence——

"What is that?!" Someone exclaimed in the darkness.

Originally, the blazing sun should be the only "light point" in the surrounding void, and this light point should be round and without flaws. But now...except for those huge incorporeal star coronas, there seems to be flaws in the core of this light circle, one place, two places...thousands, ten thousand places, millions of places...

Countless warships emerged from the roaring stellar wind. However, their mutilated bodies are full of cracks, and they have no souls or wisdom.

They are born from the World Line Tree, and they are the echoes of the forcibly summoned souls of the gone existence.

"The empire at that time...the number of order individuals with intelligence and souls...had dropped to double digits."

"It can be said that the "empire" at that time can no longer be called civilization. A few people, even a few people with powerful power, cannot bear the burden behind the word civilization."

"...There is nothing to lose anymore. Likewise, there is nothing to worry about anymore."

Around the sun, the darkness that should have been moving toward silence was filled with hustle and bustle. More and more strange facilities are born from nothingness. They seem to be huge mouths that can never be filled, and giant hands that never stop asking. They continuously capture the huge amounts of information ejected by the blazing sun and turn them into the driving force for revenge...

Deep in the depths of countless empty shell-like figures, closest to the blazing sun, a piece of persistent, small black wings want to make up for something. However, in the absolute gap and the emptiness of losing power, thoughts and ideas It cannot be translated into effective practical actions. As time went by, the place began to be gradually obscured by thick clouds and sank into the depths of history.

As for the outside world...all the crazy changes seem to be more like the end of the world than about innovation...

Countless thoughts and ideas were sent into the seemingly infinitely deep, strange and huge "Alloy Rubik's Cube". At the "other end" of the Rubik's Cube, there are technologies and creations flowing out, but they alone cannot satisfy the crazy Avengers - technology and physical objects are not enough. We need systems, safety, possible future directions, and the past. All the preparations up to this point... No matter what the bottomless module sends out, they will all be accepted as ordered.

"A moment of madness may be exchanged for higher mobility, but they will not turn into strength after all. The original "Revenge Fleet" let alone fight against the ships of Σ, they cannot cross the void or even the space of order - they They are so broken and rotten that they have nothing but "huge momentum". If all the hatred accumulated in the past really needs to be liquidated, only those "things" can be called scrap metal. It is impossible to complete the liquidation process."

In the picture, the line that had reached its lowest point suddenly turned at a sharp angle. It climbed straight up and quickly, depicting the most radical episode in the history of the empire.

"This is the Decision Chronicle - the original meaning of the Decision Chronicle is "the correct decision was made, ending the long confusion." But in terms of content, the Decision Chronicle should be seen as an extension of the Jump Chronicle."

The void between the worlds of order should have been filled. However, under the countless compensation corrections of some kind of scanning and correction equipment, the pure darkness between the worlds began to be "polluted" - there seemed to be some vague, constantly surging large masses of dense fog, and between these dense fogs There were some faint flashes of light. When these flashes are active enough and close enough, invisible and magnificent lightning structures will be born from these dense fog and clouds...

"These are a bit familiar..." Thinking of this, Kriz closed his eyes and rubbed them vigorously, "Well, I saw them here."

"They are virtual information structures filled between worlds. They are both the "catalyst" for the decay of the void into order, and the "buffer layer" that provides a buffer when the order structure collapses into the void. The empire noticed it a long time ago" The existence of "probabilistic lightning chain" and the use of probabilistic lightning chain to create a more complete and "better quality" new world. However, such use, compared with using the entire probabilistic lightning chain, is tantamount to capturing fireflies. Compare it to controlling the stars in the sky..."

"With the "filter" created using Σ technology, the empire at that time finally saw the entire probabilistic lightning chain clearly - it can be said that from the time it clearly saw this grand but invisible structure, the empire had already gone On the road to catch up with Σ in terms of scale, but at the same time, doing this... also means that the huge "scale gap" has been pushed into the hostile camp."

"... After leaving the skeletal remains of the Blazing Sun, it may have been millions of years, or perhaps tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of years... At a moment that is difficult to determine precisely, the chief flagship used the star as its main output weapon. At the end of the formation, the first information torrent of the Empire's detonation probability lightning chain was smashed from the void to the virtual information structure - and the first world branch of the Empire was born. It's just..."

As soon as the scene turned, the glory after the creation quickly dimmed, and the large-scale order structure existing in the void seemed to be entangled by some unknown black and red tentacles. And within the branches of the world, many originally bright threads began to be cut into many segments as time went by...

"Dead tide pollution - this world branch was created suddenly, and the empire simply did not have the ability to take over it quickly. This also caused almost half of the structure of the first world branch to be swallowed up by the death tide and fracture zones . During the process of the empire retaking the branches of the world from the death tide, the former emperor of the second zone, Kalost, died in the second type of fault zone to protect the "promoted" arcane life VI that appeared..."

"For the growing power of the empire at that time, the loss of a few souls had a huge impact. However, no one had time to feel sad about it, because the "test" of Σ changed the direction once again—— "

"If the battles in the past were offense and defense in the sandbox, and Σ allowed the empire to remember some possible strategies, tactics and advanced action methods, then the current battle... can be thought of like this: the opponent in front of you overturned the sandbox and pulled the trigger. He lifted up the entire large-scale structure of the universe behind him, and then used it as a meteor hammer to smash down on you."

The branches of the new world were entangled with black tentacles - at this moment, everyone finally saw clearly what those black tentacles were: they were also the branches and cilia on the branches of the world, and they came from Σ.

At this moment, they are under unified control and carry out unified actions. They whipped over like whips - carrying with them the huge variables accumulated due to rapid changes and the strong pollution of death.

Countless warships stopped on the path where these whips were about to be whipped. The interceptor fleet included "familiar faces" that they had seen many times, as well as more new characters. However, although those new characters are powerful, for some reason, they themselves seem to reveal an unspeakable deformity and malice.

"There is no doubt that... such a fleet cannot withstand disaster. The first world branch of the empire was shattered by the corrosion of Σ. And this also made it clear - in the years to come, the empire will have to fight with countless such things As an enemy.”

"It can be said that... huge pressure can always bring about some changes. These changes may reveal positivity and improvement, or they may reveal madness and despair."

In the picture, everything is accelerating, and the star core of the Void Blazing Sun begins to be enveloped by a vast circle of clouds. Within this, there are countless silver-white heavy cones - they are attached with countless alloys. Tentacles, these tentacles greedily absorb the information accumulated in the cloud disk. The absorption never stops, but the cloud disk becomes thicker and thicker and blurry.

"ignition!!"

The roar cut through the void, and these silver-white giant cones raised their muzzles. An unimaginable amount of information was compressed into a small point. The small point exploded into a magnificent jet, and the jet penetrated the probability lightning chain. The core...the void was lit up.

The branches of the world began to blossom everywhere in the void. Their scale and quantity were so large that the story itself began to teeter. Either the previous story was false, or these huge balls of fluff had no internal structure. .

"... This kind of fragmentation can also be felt by the empire itself. In this era, there are too many things that are too advanced and used by the empire. Void survey radars that can search for information focus through stories have begun to be used. They can be used by the empire. It can be used to illuminate and analyze any target, and naturally it can also look at itself. The empire has seen its own divisions, the contradictions are very sharp, and the intensity of self-doubt is very high, so high that it may directly lead to self-veto."

"However, no matter what, the fact is ultimately the case. From the empire's own perspective, this is fragmentation and contradiction, but from the Σ perspective, from the overall perspective, this is natural - the gap between the two civilizations is too big , they should not be compared together. You can try your best to use 10,000 reasons to deceive yourself into ignoring it, denying its meaning, and blurring their role... you can do whatever you want, but if If you don’t face them head-on, you will be deceived in the end.”

"...Teacher, at that time..."

"No more life."

"Then these are..."

"Puppets - and the matrix composed of puppets. They are also highly intelligent and capable of learning, but they have no autonomous consciousness. In other words - they will only follow the initial order of fighting. As for the parts outside this range, what are they? They don't even think about it, and they don't realize what "I" means."

"It's very simple - when the empire has been destroyed over and over again, and no one can see whether there is a glimmer of light in the future, no one will allow new life as long as there is still a trace of humanity and rationality. Come to this hopeless world again. But... the battle must be faced."

"..."

Facing the overwhelming number of stories, Kriz felt a little numb, and he could see that the people around him had probably begun to mechanically and passively receive the bombardment of information from all directions. Not to mention understanding, they even They may no longer be able to keep up with the rapidly changing scenes - for them, in the future... will scenes like this appear more in flashes of inspiration when chatting?

"Countless puppets ride on countless battleships, attacking the enemies who have only bodies in the void again and again. Soulless entities occupy almost all the weight of the empire, which leads to a problem - like a man who doesn't know how to control himself When a high Hume individual exists in a low Hume environment, it will continue to release its own reality intensity to the surrounding environment until it regains balance."

"When individuals with souls appear in a vast, soulless but closely connected environment, they will continue to lose their souls and strength. However, in the vast frozen ocean, no matter how warm things are, they will eventually It also loses heat and becomes cold."

"This is the phenomenon of red reality, an invisible yet ubiquitous ocean of atmosphere that continuously melts within it. No intelligent life can resist such dilution. Even field beings whose existence properties are similar to this, They all began to gradually fall into silence.”

"Which...how do you say?"

"Occasionally there are some bright colors, but after the bright colors... there will always be more crises coming one after another. Maybe it can be understood this way."
