In the void.
No one could say clearly what this place was made of, and no one could say clearly when this place appeared.
There was once an extremely curious ancient species that explored the void after developing extremely powerful space-time technology.
The experts of that race even went deep into the void to look for clues.
Leaving behind a guess.
The void might be the beginning of the universe.
It was washed out by the strong ions ejected by countless quasars.
Only those ancient stars that were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times brighter than the galaxies could create such a spectacle.
Those terrifying giant stars were at the beginning of the universe.
At the speed of devouring gas equivalent to the mass of a star every day, they crazily distorted themselves and all the matter around them.
Their accretion disk, measured in light years, stretched across the deep space of the ancient universe.
Thus, these huge ancient celestial bodies became the origin of time in the current universe.
The light they emitted illuminated the original universe.
And left traces of their existence in the microwave background of the universe.
No matter when and where, what year and what month, when life raised their heads and peeped at the starry sky above their heads.
They could always see the light emitted by those behemoths that were once unimaginably huge and could not be described by words and words in the depths of the universe.
With the help of deep-space radio telescopes, intelligent life could even see the afterimages of the majestic figures left behind by those ancient celestial bodies on the other side of time.
These terrifying celestial bodies were so huge and powerful.
So much so that even after hundreds of millions or even billions of years.
Intelligent life could still see the redshift traces they left behind in the cosmic microwave background.
This meant that even the spectrum of these terrifying celestial bodies had been distorted.
Whether it was visible light or invisible light.
They were all distorted, torn, and absorbed by their gravitational force.
Legend had it that...
These terrifying ancient celestial bodies slowly evolved into the present-day black holes of the universe in the later years.
The central black holes in the center of those galaxies.
The ancient species that left behind this speculation had long been annihilated in time.
Even their home planet was shattered in a fierce battle.
But the void still existed.
It existed outside time and space.
And...
There was life here.
However, the life form here was completely opposite to that of the physical universe.
In the depths of the void, in a corner where countless matter overlapped and twisted.
A certain huge creature suddenly opened its eyes.
A huge nose that was like a suction cup slowly squirmed.
The webbed limbs slowly came back to life.
It was as if he had woken up from a never-ending nightmare.
Roar!
After waking up, his long nose stirred in the void.
Ripples kept appearing in the depths of the void.
Finally, the shadow of a giant tree slowly grew out of these ripples.
This giant tree seemed to have grown out of thin air.
He grew up rapidly and stood tall.
His leaves spread out one by one.
On each leaf, there were sharp teeth with jagged teeth.
Between the veins of the leaves, there was something that looked like an eyeball.
Vines hung down one after another.
Each vine was a thick tentacle.
These tentacles were incomparably huge, and each one was dozens of kilometers long.
On the crown of the tree, an unimaginably terrifying evil eye slowly opened.
As soon as the evil eye opened, it released an endless amount of light that illuminated the entire void.
It was just like the gigantic quasars that illuminated this place at the beginning of the universe.
Looking at the giant tree, even the powerful Great Old Ones had no choice but to kneel.
"I salute you!"
"The Immortal Mother of the Race!"
"The Great Tree of Time!"
"The Honorable High Priest of the Late Night Veil!"
This was an ancient Outer God.
His main body had once turned into a quasar at the birth of this universe, creating and establishing the original physical rules of this universe.
Now, he had become the immortal High Priest of the Late Night Veil.
He was the most favored emissary of a great and honorable figure.
If he won.
He would replace the position of the Faceless God.
On the torso of the great Outer God, the eyeballs lit up like stars.
A great immortal will emanated from it.
"Well done!"
The praise of the Outer God was overflowing with words.
When the Great Old Ones heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed. "It's all because of your good arrangements!"
The will of this great Outer God shouted in the void, "You should have done better!"
"Yes!" The Great Old Ones lowered their heads. "Yes, I should have done better!"
"Then do it!" The Outer God said majestically.
"Don't be afraid!"
"Victory belongs to us in the end!"
"The Great Late Night Veil will win in the end!"
"Those heretics and traitors will be dealt with thoroughly!"
The Great Old Ones listened and were filled with joy. "Your will!"
"The Great Late Night Veil will win!"
This would be a great immortal battle.
A war that had lasted for countless years.
Although the Great Late Night Veil had temporarily failed.
But they firmly believed that as long as their master woke up.
Everything would return to normal.
Those heretics and traitors would be completely dealt with!
Everything now was just the heretics and traitors trying to stall for time and fight against their master.
…..
Zhou Ke finally returned to his rented house.
He opened the door. There was no one in the room.
Ah Ning was boarding at school.
He walked to the sofa in the living room and sat on it.
The human skin on his face slowly showed signs of wrinkles.
"In the words of mortals..."
"I'm fighting with immortals, and I've implicated myself!"
He sighed helplessly.
But what could he do!?
Since he was already on the boat, he could only bite the bullet and go to the end.
After all, he didn't have the right to bet on the table.
"I'll go and pick Ah Ning up tomorrow!" He said, "I have to open my midnight snack shop again!"
"Right!" He suddenly remembered. "I have to get a game pod for Ah Ning!"
In the prophecy, the Great Old Ones would eventually die.
Only his daughter could reverse this predetermined fate.
Now, he knew the meaning of this prophecy.
He was involved in this terrifying war that involved the fate of countless universes.
An existence like him was just cannon fodder.
Even if they were Outer Gods, they would only be expendable in this war.
Didn't he see that Igor was soaked in the wine jar and made into medicinal wine?
If he failed, his fate would probably be the same.
If he wasn't soaked in the jar and made into an octopus salad, he would probably be placed on the barbecue rack and roasted directly.
"Sigh!" He shook his head.
Now, he could only hope that he wouldn't be too deeply involved, lest there was no way back in the end.
…..
Zhang Hui finally received the report from the imperial capital's genetic analysis institute.
The results of the specimen he sent for examination were out.
Holding the report, his expression immediately turned gloomy.
"70% of human genes …"
"Other genes come from frogs, fish, snakes …"
"This …"
"A hodgepodge of genes?!"
"How is this possible!?"
This was the strangest creature that the Blackguard had discovered since the recovery of spirit aura.
An intelligent creature that was genetically completely different from humans!
One had to know that in the past, even the foreign species.
Whether it was the foreign species of the East or the West.
As long as they transformed into human form, their genetic relationship with humans would be extremely close.
The similarity was generally more than 99.9%.
It was even higher than the similarity between ancient humans and modern humans!
This was the first time he had discovered a species that only had 70% genetic similarity with an intelligent species!
The most terrible thing was …
According to research and reports, the Shi family had been marrying the outside world for the past few years.
People were constantly marrying out, and some were marrying in.
It affected and affected thousands of people.
There were no reports that showed that the Shi family and the others had reproductive isolation.
Until now!
In other words, Zhang Hui knew that he and the entire world were in big trouble!
An unknown species was quietly lurking in the human world.
What did they want to do?
This was an enemy that was even more terrifying than the humanoid foreign species that were regarded as the greatest threat to humans in the past.
Humanoid foreign species.
Whether it was zombies, vampires, the so-called ghouls discovered in Fusang, or the mandrill that appeared in Xinluo, they were genetically similar to humans.
Or they were reproductively isolated from humans.
As for the Shi family, they did not have reproductive isolation, and their genes were also very different from humans!
In other words …
This brand-new species might have already contaminated the genes of humans!
"Investigate!" He put down the report and immediately ordered, "Immediately investigate all the people who have married the Shi family..."
"Set up a tracking system..."
"You must find everyone!"
As he said these words, Zhang Hui felt his hands trembling.
Those who were not of the same race would definitely have a different heart!
Once a species that was 30% different from humans in terms of genes, body shape, and structure spread.
A few hundred years later, it would be hard to say who this world would belong to.
For the sake of his descendants, Zhang Hui understood that he had to do it at all costs!
Thus, the intelligence system and public security system of the entire Federal Empire immediately entered the highest level of combat readiness.
Inside and outside the imperial capital, countless police cars drove out of the police station and rushed to each address.
The heavily armed special police in protective suits began to set up obstacles at the intersections.
Before dawn, the entire empire had completed the screening work.
In the past hundred years, all the people who were related to the Shi family by marriage were found.
They traced the bloodline and traced the spread.
When they found one, they immediately drew blood and tested it.
In the end …
No abnormal genes were found in anyone's body.
It was as if as long as the members of the Shi family married out, it would be normal.
This made Zhang Hui heave a sigh of relief, but at the same time, the uneasiness in his heart rapidly expanded.
After thinking for a long time, he had no choice but to inform the cabinet and the joint security conference of the Blackguard about this matter. He also informed all the active generals.
At the same time, he ordered that all the related people be placed under house arrest and sent to the Fiend Prison built in the northwest desert for isolation and observation.
… …
In the morning, Ling Ping'an was woken up by a phone call.
He picked up his phone and picked up the phone in a daze, "Who is it?!"
He heard a sweet female voice coming from the phone, "Hello, Young Master Ling. This is the official customer service center of Legend of Nightmare!"
"Our press conference is scheduled for 4: 44 p.m. today..."
"I wonder if you need the special car service we provide?"
Ling Ping'an immediately woke up when he heard this and replied, "Okay... then you can send a car to pick me up!"
"Okay!" The other party smiled and said, "We will prepare a special car for you immediately..."
She asked again, "When do you plan to leave?"
Ling Ping'an thought for a moment and said, "Around two o'clock!"
"Okay!" The other party said sweetly, "The special car we arranged for you will arrive at your residence on time!"
"Excuse me, do you have any other orders?"
Ling Ping'an thought for a moment and said, "Not for the time being!"
"Then I wish you a happy life!" The other party said respectfully, "If you have any questions, please call us at any time. We will serve you wholeheartedly!"
Ling Ping'an hung up the phone and smacked his lips, "This game company's attitude is really good!"
Thus, he got up and began to wash up.
… …
Yin Mingxiu had already woken up early in the morning.
In front of the mirror, she began to try on the gowns provided for her by the embassy one by one.
But no matter how she chose, she was still not satisfied.
It was not too bright, but it felt too ostentatious.
This made her a little distressed.
After changing into a traditional Xinluo dress, she looked at herself in the mirror and shook her head, "This is not good either!"
"I'm just a servant girl!"
"If I wear this, I'm afraid others will misunderstand!"
If she was misunderstood, it might make Young Master Ling unhappy and think that she had ambitions.
She used a small country to serve a large country, but she was restless.
This was the way to bring disaster!
And if she peeped at the master as a servant, it was the way to death!
The education and training she had received had always made her remember this principle.
Thus, she changed out of this set of Xinluo court dress.
"I'd better wear the clothes I wore when I went to Young Master Ling's place to clean up!" With this thought in mind, she opened her wardrobe and chose a light yellow dress from it.
Then, she put it on.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
She finally smiled.
Although this dress looked simple, it was not dignified enough.
But it was very comfortable!
Most importantly, it could remind her that she was just a servant girl.
Moreover, she was just a servant girl who didn't even have a status.
She must not have any thoughts that she shouldn't have because of Young Master Ling's kindness.
Thus, she wore this dress and pushed open the door.
At the door, Xinluo Ambassador Wen Fengming was already waiting.
Seeing Yin Mingxiu's dress, Wen Fengming was shocked, "Miss Yin, why are you..."
"Isn't it good that we prepared the clothes for you?"
Yin Mingxiu shook her head and said, "Thank you for your arrangements... The clothes you prepared are all very nice..."
"But..."
"Mingxiu is just a small servant girl. How dare I overstep my boundaries?"
