Unlike Wang Xi's benevolent smile, Chen Chen's expression was as solemn as a thousand-year-old iceberg.
"It's been so many years and you're still saying the same thing."
Chen Chen took two steps forward and looked directly at the old man who had changed his life. "You must've said the same thing in Zhao Shanhe's class."
"Am I wrong?"
Wang Xi could not help but laugh. "Chen Chen, you didn't disappoint me. I'm very satisfied that you didn't waver even after the three old guys in the subspace tried to tempt you!"
"If you're satisfied, then tell me your real purpose."
Chen Chen was not moved at all. He only said coldly, "You left me the dimension key, something with infinite possibilities, to guide humans step by step into the subspace, and when I noticed your uniqueness, you used the antimeme to disappear from the world. Now, you suddenly appeared and lured me here. What do you want?"
"That's a long story..."
Wang Xi was taken aback at first, then he sighed slightly. "Before I tell you my purpose, I'll tell you a story."
Seeing Chen Chen frowning slightly, Wang Xi immediately added, "A story from tens of millions of years ago."
"Do you know that billions of years ago, the subspace was still an ancient well, far less harsh than it is today, but at that time, the Milky Way had already given birth to the oldest group of civilizations."
Wang Xi's voice carried a trace of vicissitudes as he said slowly, "Among these civilizations, there were a total of three groups that stood proudly at the peak — one of them was a powerful energy life form. They fed on stars and existed since the birth of the universe. However, although they were powerful individually, they were limited to this and could not develop a civilization of their own.
"The other two groups were fragile physical life forms. One of them was the first group to enter the universe. They developed amazing technology that could change the structure of time and space, freely traversing between dimensions. At the same time, they were also the first civilization to begin exploring psionic energy, so their technology was closely linked to psionic energy...
"This civilization is generous and charitable. They are almost the mentors of most civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy.
"The other group is a civilization cursed by their own star. Because this group has been living in the harsh light of the star for a long time, their lifespan is short and dangerous. Every newborn has a high chance of dying prematurely. Even if technology has developed to an extremely high level, it can't make up for the curse that the star has carved into their DNA …"
"Because of that, the curse and the disaster of the original ecology gave them a stubborn and jealous personality. Also, their bodies were completely isolated from the influence of the subspace, and they could not use spiritual energy at all. They were almost on the opposite ends of the other mentor's civilization.
Wang Xi continued, "Sixty million years ago, the cursed civilization met the mentor civilization. When the cursed civilization discovered that the mentor civilization had an almost endless life force, the deepest jealousy in their hearts was ignited …"
"So, a war that affected the entire Milky Way broke out … The cursed civilization was the first to attack the mentor civilization, but because of their ability to completely isolate psionic energy, they did not have any technology related to the subspace. The mentor civilization used the subspace technology to freely traverse every corner of the Milky Way Galaxy, completely suppressing the cursed civilization that could only travel at sub-light speed.
"The cursed civilization continued to be defeated, and in the end, they could only retreat to the planet where they were born. Even so, the jealousy and stubbornness in their hearts refused to admit their failure. They continued to research, looking for a weapon to defeat the mentor civilization."
At this point, Wang Xi's eyes suddenly turned gloomy. "Then, an opportunity appeared..."
"When the cursed civilization was researching their vile star, they finally made a huge discovery — for the first time, they discovered a race of energy life forms that had existed since the birth of the universe. They finally understood that it was these energy life forms that devoured stars that caused their star to be so dangerous.
"However, after being defeated, they had long fallen into a state of stubbornness. This despicable race made a deal with the other party. They were willing to create physical bodies for these energy life forms and worship them as gods. In exchange, these energy life forms had to grant them immortality comparable to the mentor civilization."
Chen Chen silently listened to Wang Xi's narration and gradually began to ponder. After that, he asked tentatively, "These energy life forms, were they stronger than the two top civilizations in the Milky Way?"
"Yes."
Wang Xi even revealed a proud expression. "These energy life forms were incomparably powerful. They had an almost endless supply of energy, they were the gods of the real universe!
"In the end, the energy life forms did not realize the despicable nature of the other party. Naively, they agreed to the exchange agreement with the cursed civilization and obtained a physical metal body made with advanced technology. The cursed civilization also got what they wanted. Their consciousness was transferred into a metal body and they no longer had to live, age, get sick, or die...
"After that, the newly born cursed civilization and the energy lifeforms joined forces and attacked the mentor civilization together. The mentor civilization finally could not withstand the pressure. Although they created many other races to participate in the endless war, they were still defeated in the end. Almost all of them were wiped out!"
At this point, Professor Wang Xi suddenly sighed. "However, the energy life forms were still too naive. They easily believed a lie and began to kill each other. They completely fell into the trap of the cursed civilization. It turns out that the stubborn and jealous nature of the cursed civilization has never changed... They betrayed the energy life forms and shattered the gods of the real world one by one. Then, they sealed the fragments away...
"In the end, only a very small number of energy life forms managed to escape from this betrayal."
After that, Wang Xi closed his eyes slightly and a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes. "Can you imagine that the environment of the subspace was so harsh because of this war? The waves of negative emotions swept across the subspace. Endless slaughter, blood, and death subtly changed the structure of the subspace, and finally, it became what it is today."
"In other words, the more war, violence, and superstition, the more they affect the subspace?"
Chen Chen nodded and then asked again, "So, what's the end of the cursed civilization? They don't seem to be ruling the galaxy today. "
"They've fallen into a deep slumber."
Wang Xi's originally kind smile gradually faded and was replaced by a kind of mockery and hatred. "In the war back then, they naturally suffered heavy losses. Therefore, in order to continue their existence and at the same time to prevent the birth of a second mentor civilization, they created the 'Anti-Subspace Protocol'. Once a planet is invaded by the subspace, they will wake up from their slumber and slaughter everything related to the subspace."
"This is the story I'm going to tell, an ancient story that has been going on for hundreds of millions of years."
After saying all this, Wang Xi sighed softly, his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life. "You're the first person I've ever told a story to, and only you have the right to listen to my story."
Chen Chen silently observed Professor Wang Xi's expression and a mocking expression appeared on his face. "Based on what you're saying, you seem to be on the side of the energy life forms? Don't tell me that you're one of the energy life forms that were slaughtered by the cursed civilization? "
"I am, but I'm not."
Wang Xi chuckled softly. "I was originally just a mortal, a mortal from a remote mountain village, but one day, I fused with the remnant fragments of C 'tan by chance. From that day onward, I gained many ancient memories that humans dare not even dream of, including the battle back then. Today, I'm both Wang Xi and C' tan..."
"Oh, right."
Wang Xi suddenly explained, "The name C 'tan is what the cursed civilization called us. It's also the first name we have. Now, I also have a name from my memories —"
"Void Dragon!"
When Wang Xi mentioned the words "Void Dragon", Chen Chen suddenly felt the hair all over his body stand on end as if he was surrounded by endless malice. At this moment, without thinking, Chen Chen pressed between his eyebrows. Suddenly, an incomparably vast power suddenly burst out from the depths of his eyebrows!
"Boom!"
The majestic and invisible power surged like a tsunami, but this power was eerily accurate to the molecular level, like the most precise gear rotating at high speed, not affecting anything around it at all!
"What pure power of my race!"
Wang Xi was not surprised to see this but was delighted. "You've also obtained the power of C 'tan, but it seems a little incomplete. You only have one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, but you can coexist with two forces at the same time, it's incredible! Thank you, Chen Chen. You've paved the way for me to become a god, showing me that our power and psionic power can be combined! "
"Become a god?"
Chen Chen suddenly revealed a sarcastic expression. "You want to obtain the fourth unit of the subspace and become an existence like those three guys who are neither human nor ghost?"
"Of course!"
Traces of green electricity began to appear around Wang Xi's body. His skin also began to show a strange metallic luster. "It seems that the reason my race killed each other back then was the work of those three guys. What I want to do is very simple, which is to let humans enter the psionic era and form a deep connection with the subspace. After that, I'll destroy humans with my own hands. When that time comes, I can incarnate into a true" god ", an existence that even surpasses those three guys!
"As for you, if it weren't for the fact that you're now trying to reorganize society and disconnect humans from the subspace, I could've let you live a little longer, but unfortunately..."
"You told me that there's no god in this world." Chen Chen said coldly.
"If I didn't say that and let you inherit this idea, why would you resist the temptation of those three guys?"
The green electricity around Wang Xi's body became denser and denser. His body began to transform into metal. Behind him, a thick tail that looked like a machine began to extend!
Wang Xi's original face began to fade away and was replaced by a streamlined black mask. At the same time, a metallic voice came from all around Chen Chen. "But I'm not wrong, because other than me, there's no god in this world!"
"No, there's no god in this world, and there never will be."
Chen Chen said decisively, "You're no exception!"
"Boom!"
Once again, a more majestic, more bizarre power surged out of Chen Chen's body. In the next moment, a faint yellow crack appeared between Chen Chen and Professor Wang Xi. It was as if a giant wound had been opened in the world. A subspace energy that could destroy everything flowed out of the crack!
"The subspace crack?"
Wang Xi's voice had turned into a metallic hum, but there was still a hint of shock in his voice. "Your psionic power is powerful enough to tear apart reality and reach the subspace?"
Chen Chen did not answer directly. Instead, he responded with his own actions. Psionic energy that could move mountains and fill up seas erupted from his body and wrapped around Wang Xi's figure. At the same time, a force that could tear space apart came from the crack. In the next second, Wang Xi was pulled toward the subspace crack!
"You want to banish me? You're too naive!"
However, Wang Xi said coldly. Then, he waved one hand and countless black objects appeared out of thin air around him. When Chen Chen saw these black objects, his expression changed drastically!
They were... The Black Slate!
One, two, three, ten, fifty, ninety-nine!
The number of the Black Slate far exceeded Chen Chen's expectations. He saw that the endless Black Slate turned into a wall of steel and suppressed the tidal force of the subspace!
"Boom!"
The giant subspace crack closed up!
"So many Civilization Monoliths..."
Chen Chen's eyes were filled with incredulity. "I finally understand why most of the dimensions I've been to have their civilizations destroyed..."
"I'm the one who gave you the dimension key. Of course, I can use it before you."
Wang Xi gestured with one hand, and instantly, a USB flash drive that emitted a bright light appeared in her palm. Then, it turned into a disc again, and then into various shapes. "This is the ultimate creation of the teacher's civilization, and it can even travel between dimensions. How could I possibly hand over such a precious thing to you?"
Following Wang Xi's words, Chen Chen felt his psionic power being completely suppressed. He could no longer use any of it. This was the natural resistance of the Black Slate against the subspace!
"And these Civilization Monoliths are called by the cursed civilization... The Black Stone Array!"
At this time, Wang Xi's voice was getting colder and colder. A pair of metal wings appeared on his back, and a strange symbol appeared on top of his head. A majestic power similar to Field surged out faintly. "Even the Reality Anchor in your hand is just a simplified version of the Black Stone that the cursed civilization uses to lock subspaces!"
