After eliminating the Consciousness Stealer, Chen Chen felt a sense of relief as if a nail had been removed from his heart. The dark clouds that had clouded his mind were swept away.
After this, it would be a piece of cake to wipe out this world.
If Chen Chen wanted to, he could single-handedly wipe out this world. However, Chen Chen did not plan to do so. After all, there were still tens of millions of players in this world. The average number of players online was ten million. After some time, the number of players could easily reach a hundred million.
In that case, in order to extend the lifespan of the game, the existence of an enemy was necessary.
Therefore, the existence of the Divine Fusion Empire was necessary. However, the Divine Fusion Empire had psionicists. These psionicists alone could compete with the technology of the Joint Resistance Army. On the other hand, the players had no way of obtaining psionic powers.
Therefore, there was only one way...
With this in mind, Chen Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He closed his eyes and at the same time, he opened them again with a thought!
The moment he opened his eyes, there was a sudden burst of golden light in the depths of Chen Chen's eyes!
"Buzz!"
The light was as blinding as the sun, instantly illuminating the entire surface of the sea like two blazing suns!
However, this light only lasted for a split second. In the next second, it abruptly extinguished and Chen Chen's eyes returned to normal.
"I've retrieved all the 'psionic seeds'. From now on, there will no longer be psionicists in this dimension."
Chen Chen took a deep breath and said in a menacing tone, "From now on, I'll leave it to the players to do whatever they want..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Chen's figure flickered. With a loud bang, he completely disappeared from the surface of the sea, leaving behind only a trail of mist that reached the sky.
In just ten minutes, Chen Chen returned to Blacklight City at thirty times the speed of sound and left the end dimension through the time machine...
However, the moment Chen Chen retrieved all the "psionic seeds", endless panic erupted in the territory of the Divine Fusion Empire in the end dimension...
"Praise the Father, Alosorthoth the Father..."
In the capital city of the Divine Fusion Empire, in a large church that occupied half of the city center, an old man with ulcers all over his body was prostrating on the ground, murmuring piously and fanatically, "You are the master of fate, the will of death, the hymn of life, and the river of time. We are your loyal servants. May you bring us endless power …"
Behind the old man were hundreds of believers in uniform. Judging from their luxurious clothes, they were not ordinary believers. They were the Great Priests of the Empire. If they were placed in any city, they would at least be black-robed bishops.
Their faces were also festering, as if they had been exposed to radiation for a long period of time. However, psionic energy appeared on the surface of their bodies.
In reality, everyone was at least a Gamma-level psionicist, and the stronger ones could even reach Beta-level.
At this moment, they were kneeling on the ground like humble servants, bowing to the bronze statue of the Consciousness Stealer on the high platform.
"You bring us the blessing of fusion, we will raise your throne high, we only wish, only wish..."
The old man led the chanting, but when he said the word "only wish", he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of panic. He could not tell what this feeling was, but he could feel his life force being rapidly drained out of his body. The old man turned around in shock and wanted to scream for help, but he saw that the people behind him were just as shocked and panicked as he was.
"Could it be God..."
The old man only had time to think of one possibility. In the next second, his face turned ashen as if all the energy in his body had been drained out of him. His eyes instantly became dull and lifeless...
"Thump!"
The old man fell stiffly to the ground. Although his heart was still beating and his blood was still flowing, he had completely lost all signs of life...
The archbishop who stood at the pinnacle of power in the Divine Fusion Empire was dead.
Along with him were the powerful priests of the entire Vatican. It was as if they had experienced an extremely rapid plague. When the mortal servants who were responsible for lighting the lamps and cleaning the place came to their senses, they only saw this terrifying scene.
However, this scene was not only happening in the capital of the Divine Fusion Empire. All the psionicists in the entire territory of the Divine Fusion Empire collapsed at the same time. No matter where they were, no matter who they were, no matter what they were doing at this time, they all died at this moment. There was no chance of survival.
The psionic energy of these Consciousness Stealer's descendants was mercilessly harvested by Chen Chen at the same time.
Most of these people were of high status, they were either generals who led the army or descendants of nobles. They were the pillars of the Divine Fusion Empire, but at this moment, the foundation of the empire suddenly collapsed!
Under the threat of internal and external aggression, the entire empire was completely plunged into a crisis of crisis...
...
When Chen Chen returned to reality, he immediately received a message from Little X.
"Sir Godfather, the people from the Blacklight Foundation want to see you..."
Little X said, "Just a few minutes ago, I received four invitations from the Lilith Foundation at the same time. The four of them have joined forces and they don't seem to have good intentions."
"It's about the reality anchors, right?"
Chen Chen asked casually. He could not hide the fact that he had set up more than three hundred reality anchors in the game through the players. After all, the players would definitely put these things on the Internet and naturally, the Earth Federation would find out about it.
"It's not just the reality anchors."
Little X shook her head. "They've begun to have doubts about the Ancient Civilization. No, I should say... They began to have doubts a long time ago. It's just that after we issued the mission this time, they finally couldn't sit still anymore, so they joined forces to question you."
"What's to come will come sooner or later."
Chen Chen nodded and smiled. "Connect to them, it just so happens that I have something to discuss with them."
With that, Chen Chen sat on a chair on the side, and then the entire room flashed out of thin air and turned into a luxuriously decorated conference room.
The desk in front of Chen Chen had also been transformed into a round table. There were four indistinct black figures sitting at each of the tables.
"05, you're finally willing to show up..."
Seeing Chen Chen's figure appear, the people who were originally talking suddenly stopped talking and looked at Chen Chen. Among them, 03 took the lead and said, "Tell me, what's the purpose of Blacklight Biotechnology with the game Ancient Civilization?"
"What purpose?"
Chen Chen showed a puzzled look when he heard this. "I just want to run the game and make some money. Everyone here is a super big shot who manages hundreds of millions of people. What bad intentions can I have as a small business owner?"
"Ahem..."
01 could not help coughing when he heard this. He lowered his voice and said, "Chen Chen, oh no... 05, sorry, I'm new here. This is my first time attending this meeting, but I've been in contact with the Blacklight Foundation department since before I became 01, so I know you guys quite well. According to my research, Blacklight Foundation never does useless things. Just like when you were stationed in Africa back then, everyone thought you were crazy, but you opened up a path that surpassed the Earth Federation..."
"You flatter me."
Chen Chen nodded and smiled.
"Whether you're in the military, aerospace, or outer space colonization, it seems to us that you have some kind of strong purpose, and these purposes are unknown to us."
01 continued. "I know, these are all the legacies you inherited from your predecessor, but now this is not the point. The point is that we have studied the game chamber you released, but we found many devices and parts that we can't understand at all, and at the same time, we lack some necessary parts for game equipment..."
"I don't know what your purpose is, but we can be sure that this game called Ancient Civilization is definitely not simple."
02 also said when he heard this, "01 is right, the game has an image quality that is infinitely close to reality, and there are physical rules that are identical to reality. This is almost impossible for our current technology. After all, at least hundreds of millions of lines of code are required to set the rules of reality, but even if there is such a thing, we can't find it in the game chamber released by your company."
04 also echoed. "Our continent specially organized hundreds of people to enter the game to search for clues. According to our research, the world that the players go to doesn't seem to be a virtual world at all... Because we built our own microscopes and various scientific equipment there, through the microscope, we can observe the existence of bacteria in that world, and even the existence of molecules and atoms. Not to mention that you've created a game, even the composition of matter has been set up in advance?"
"Not only that..."
01 added. "After our people entered the game, they found a secret factory in the camp. Our investigators exhausted all means and finally sneaked in, only to find that there were countless human bodies lying inside. The key is that these human bodies didn't die, but were instead transported to various spawn points, and then soon after, they woke up one after another and became lively players... If it's just a game, what's the point of such a setting?
"Also..."
Everyone began to chatter for a while, competing to talk about the various unreasonable aspects of the Ancient Civilization game.
"So?"
After listening to everyone express their views, Chen Chen spread his hands and said, "If Ancient Civilization isn't a game, what is it? Did the players transmigrate? "
"That's our question, 05."
03's voice was calm. "We want to know the hidden truth behind Ancient Civilization and... What's your purpose in doing this."
Chen Chen shook his head when he heard this and sighed helplessly. "Well, since you've all laid your cards on the table, then I won't hide it anymore. What I can tell you is that Ancient Civilization is indeed more than a game. The so-called game is actually another world — a parallel world that has some deviations from the real historical trajectory!"
At this point, Chen Chen paused. "I believe that everyone can also understand what a parallel world is, just like the Rosen Bridge in the Indian Ocean. On the other side of the Rosen Bridge is the world of Resident Evil, and the Ancient Civilization game is another parallel world formed after we encountered the Consciousness Stealer."
"As expected..."
As if a window paper had been pierced, everyone sighed when they heard this. They had thought of this a long time ago, but they just did not hear it from Chen Chen's mouth, so they were not 100% sure.
Now that they thought about it carefully, why did the game link the game background with the fusion plague back then, why there were the four continents and the existence of human ruins, all these things could be explained.
"The so-called game chamber is actually a device that connects the player's consciousness with another body in that dimension through this device. Through the game chamber as a transit station, the player can indirectly control another body in the parallel world."
Chen Chen continued to explain, "The reason I developed it into a game is just to borrow the hands of this group of players to develop that dimension. This is my goal."
"Then what about the reality anchor?"
03 asked quickly, "The reality anchor is a strategic weapon of the Blacklight Foundation. You used it in that dimension, and more than three hundred of them at once. What's the purpose?"
"To seal off the planet, of course."
Chen Chen said firmly, "You should already know the background of that world. That world is the world that was won by the Consciousness Stealer. Back then, it was extremely difficult for us to win and that was only a young body of the Consciousness Stealer. In the world of the game, the Consciousness Stealer has already grown up. If we humans want to fight against the Consciousness Stealer, then there's only one way."
"Seal off the psionic powers of the Consciousness Stealer and kill it?"
03 stood up abruptly, a trace of shock in his eyes.
"Yes, and I've done it."
Chen Chen spread his hands and said in a grim tone, "This is all I can tell you. You don't have to be wary of this game because I've achieved my goal. From now on, whether you shut down the game or send more officials into the game, it won't affect me at all."
Hearing Chen Chen's words, the four of them could not help but look at each other with hesitation in their eyes.
"I know what you're going to say."
Seeing their reaction, Chen Chen spoke first, "The most useful part of the game chamber is the quantum communication technology. It's this technology that enables the game chamber to achieve the undelayed transmission of consciousness. This technology is still not mature yet, but if you want it, I can share it with you so we can research and improve together."
"What?"
Upon hearing Chen Chen's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Of course, several of them had researched quantum communication technology, but none of them had produced any results for the time being. If they could use the technology provided by Chen Chen as a reference, it would be for the best.
"That doesn't seem like you."
03 hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively, "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, what's your request?"
"I believe you've seen the city management system of the Eco Science City and Ares Science City?"
Chen Chen chuckled. "My request is very simple, that is, your countries must introduce the 'Skynet System' and 'Electronic Magistrate' developed by Blacklight Biotechnology into your social management institutions!"
