At this moment, I really wanted to raise my head to the sky and laugh out loud. I wanted to climb to the top of the mountain and write a nine-foot silk scroll to announce to the world that there were a total of ten words written on it. "Liliana, to think that you would have such a day!"
Liliana, who was always able to cause chaos in others, was now scowling miserably. She looked like an unlucky wife who had returned home to complain about her grievances but no one cared about her. Behind her was a green-haired girl who seemed to be around 18 years old. The girl followed closely behind her with a face full of curiosity. Every half a minute, she would say something, "I'll follow you. I really dreamed of you …"
Then, Liliana would roar back in exasperation, "Go play somewhere else! This Pope doesn't disturb girls! "
"Did this Green Calyx girl get sick because of Liliana's eggs?"
Although it looked very amusing, I was still a little worried — I was worried that Liliana had gotten into trouble again. Thus, I tilted my head slightly and asked Lin Xue. This prophet was much more skilled than a doctor. Even if you were to brush your teeth and your gums bled, she would be able to diagnose it twenty to thirty years in advance.
"Who should I ask? Green Calyx doesn't have any illnesses or disasters on her body. This involves psychology." The eldest miss rolled her eyes at me. When she looked towards Liliana, her eyes were full of smiles. "But this is really interesting. Even Liliana has times where she is defeated?"
"Hey, can you stop laughing at me!" The Black Archbishop finally couldn't take it anymore. He hopped over and grabbed onto the corner of my clothes, refusing to let go. "Boss, I don't care. I'm your follower now. You have to help me settle this. There's something wrong with this girl!"
"There's nothing wrong with me." Liliana stopped strolling. Green Calyx finally stopped as well. "I'm very clear-headed. My name is Green Calyx. I'm a Tree Elf. When I first set out, I was an advanced student in the field of Life Sciences. My results back then weren't bad. I really had a dream, and I couldn't remember anything in the dream. I only remembered that you were the closest to me, and I felt that I had to follow you. This should be the guidance of the Mother Tree … "
The elder sister tried to guide him. She also thought that this might be a big mistake. "I think you might have dreamt about what happened at the oasis. At the time, you did see Liliana. Of course, you also saw the rest of us, but Liliana seems to have left a deep impression on you. Do you still remember Oasis? You're all dreaming there. "
Liliana nodded hurriedly and looked at her sister as if she was a great person. Sometimes, the believers of the Church of Life would look at Jingle's statue in the temple with the same look in their eyes.
"Of course I remember the oasis, but I'm not referring to that dream." Green Calyx immediately shook her head.
"It seems that it really has something to do with that smash." Sandora suddenly leaned on my shoulder and whispered into my ear. It was so warm that it made my ear itch. "I think that when Liliana smashed down, she just happened to touch Green Calyx's soulless body. Liliana is a demigod, and her every move is easily symbolic. Maybe she just injected her soul into Green Calyx. It's not like you don't know that the biggest characteristic of the Church of Life is that they leak their divine power wherever they go."
Now that Sandora mentioned it, I remembered that the power of the Church of Life really did have this characteristic. Regardless of whether it was Jingle or Liliana, they both had a halo effect around them that couldn't be turned off, and that was the growth of all living beings within range. Ever since Jingle moved in, all the flowers and trees in K City had almost become spirits. Liliana had a habit of taking a stroll at West Street for a period of time. Half a month later, two foreign experts came over and said that they wanted to investigate the relationship between the appearance of the suburban landscape and the city's chemical pollution.
Hearing Sandora's explanation, Liliana's face instantly collapsed. Then, she pointed at Green Calyx and then pointed at the ground. "You lie down here!"
"What are you doing!" I grabbed Liliana who was about to fly up. My veins were bulging.
"I'm going up and smashing it again! Maybe it will be normal! " Liliana grabbed the green hair on her head and said angrily. She had once again turned into the demigod form of the green-haired elf in order to help the tree elves who had just woken up recover faster. It could be considered as her doing a good deed.
"Nonsense." The older sister flicked the lass's forehead and had a helpless expression on her face.
Liliana flung her arms and stomped her feet, directly lying on the ground. Then, she pointed at Green Calyx and said, "Then you can take a plane up there and smash me!"
This lass was determined to help Green Calyx "recover". I had to admit that I was quite surprised at this moment. I pulled her up and knocked her on her head. "Speaking of which, aren't you usually very enthusiastic about recruiting believers? Why are you actively pushing them away at this time? "
"Nonsense, do you think this is what a believer's eyes look like!" Liliana hung in mid-air and pointed at Green Calyx while swaying. "This look in her eyes, if I said that her sexual orientation is normal, would you believe it?"
… Lord Pope was really direct.
"In any case, you are the one who caused this problem, so you solve it yourself." I casually threw Liliana on the ground and watched as Green Calyx and Liliana chased each other all the way until I was out of sight. It seemed that Liliana's troubles would continue for quite a while.
"This should be considered as a genuine 'first meeting', a friendship forged by smashing one's face." Shallow Shallow suddenly sighed. I was instantly shocked by this lass's ability to summarize things. The older sister even added a comment. "Actually, I think that Liliana is quite happy right now."
… I really didn't know how the older sister could see this!
"If she really hated it, Green Calyx would probably be chased away." The older sister glanced at me. "Do you think that Liliana is a soft-hearted person? Now that she is acting like this, it is obvious that she is enjoying it. "
I thought for a while and felt that even though I didn't understand, it sounded very impressive.
"I reckon that this planet fortress can no longer be used." While we were messing around with Liliana, Sandora was still paying attention to the situation of the Green Star. She finished reading a few reports and shook her head. "Tawil has sent twenty work teams to check on the key equipment cabins in the mantle. The results were really terrible. The Green Star had only completed its last few key modifications when it set sail. Many of the equipment didn't even have time to be adjusted before the starship entered the void. The tree elves also didn't know how to use them properly. Now, the Green Star's planetary shield has no value at all. Apart from the core reactor, all the other auxiliary facilities are basically broken. To be honest, I feel that even if this planet fortress is repaired, it would be useless. It is basically the same thing as the 'zero' class battleship that we are currently building. In fact, it might even be inferior to the latter. It is something that was made in a hurry. To think that I was full of anticipation and thought that the Warsong would have a companion. "
I thought of the crazy AI. She was now the core of the Warsong. It was really difficult for an ordinary person to understand the thoughts of a battleship. She had recently fallen in love with the movement of two planets and really wanted a companion to accompany her. However, even an ordinary person could think of that. How could an ordinary battleship have the time to do so?
Thus, the Warsong dragged a rocky planet that was one size larger than Earth from an unknown world. The two planets went crazy at a place 300 astronomical units away from the City of Shadows. They would circle once every 77 hours like a dumbbell that had gone out of control.
This kind of crazy game was frightening and gave the Warsong a headache. This was because the Warsong was completely using gravity to play this game, and her crazy mind could forget this point at any time. Then, the invisible rope between the two planets would snap, and the rocky planet that was one size larger than Earth would charge at the surrounding Avenger fleet at a speed of 720,000 kilometers per hour. The Warsong had been under a lot of mental stress recently. He requested for someone to quickly come over and take a look at the Warsong's brain.
Meanwhile, Sandora was wondering if she should prepare a safer toy for the Warsong. The latter's brain was probably beyond cure. Thus, the Warsong became the only one I knew who could use a planet as a toy. The other was Little Bubble, and the latter's toy was Crystal Peak.
"Do you think there are other starships on the way?" Looking at the green land where more and more elves gathered under the glow of Gaia, I suddenly recalled the contents of the letter. "According to Halland, it seems that there were quite a few starships that set off back then."
"I thought of that too." Sandora nodded. "They couldn't have just released one 'floating bottle.' But from the looks of it, only the Green Star was lucky enough to reach the destination, and it was almost destroyed. There were no similar records on the Protoss's side. It seemed that all the starships that alerted the God Realm back then had been destroyed. Actually, with regards to these floating bottles, I already had this intuition. Although the collapse of the old Empire was a very fast thing, since they still had time to build a library during the collapse of the Empire, they should have enough time to send out some warning messages. Today, Halland's message made me understand a lot of things. After the outbreak of the disaster, the Abyss had already taken control of the communication network of the Empire. The first to be contaminated was the spiritual channel of the apostles. That was why they did not send out any warning messages to the Protoss. Because this might allow the Abyss to spread through the communication channel to outside of the Empire. Only the elves, who have just come into contact with the Empire and have not yet merged into the main communication network, are safe. "
In order to prevent the spread of the contamination, the last conscious Imperial Army must have sealed the borders. If they could not seal the borders, they would have simply dragged the entire world to self-destruct. I firmly believed that they would do that. This could explain why there was no news from the outside world after the collapse of the old Empire. Everything that was connected to the Empire was abruptly erased. The void was neatly cut out by someone, leaving not a single trace. Because someone did not allow the slightest bit of the dangerous' information 'that might have been contaminated to leak out.
Yes, the Abyss was so dangerous that it was impossible to guard against it. It could almost hide in everything and invade the real world through any unimaginable means. Even if it was hidden in a sentence that everyone was used to saying in the morning, as long as it was given time, it would grow strong and healthy. They were absurd nightmares that had been materialized. They spread through mysterious methods and appeared through the path of disaster.
Under normal circumstances, this method of concealment was too weak. Not to mention psionic energy, even a slightly stronger will could resist it. However, if it came from a 'bottom' that no one had ever been to, then it was really hard to say.
So, in the end, the guardians of the Old Empire sealed off everything, built a high wall, and perished together with the enemies inside the wall. Only these planets, as well as many starships that had the same mission as them, left their homes as floating bottles, leaving this part of history to others, or hoping that it would be discovered by the Protoss one day.
In that case, Shallow Shallow's previous conjecture might have been too nervous. Since the warriors back then could think of sealing the borders and only allowing the uninfected 'bottom civilizations' to escape the circle of destruction, then they must have considered the possibility that the Abyss would hide somewhere else and leak out, and they must have taken precautions against it. In that case, how could the data on the Green Star be 'unclean'?
I shook my head and decided not to worry about such things. After all, didn't Godfather say that the Void creatures were an unbreakable barrier to the Abyss? As long as I was connected to the New Empire's network, the power of the Void would continuously cleanse this system. So what if the Abyss infiltrated this system? Damn it, how could an old virus from tens of thousands of years ago resist more than 2300 attacks every second!
Just thinking about this made me feel incredibly awesome …
Three days later, more than eighty percent of the Tree Elves had awoken, but there were still twenty percent who met with some problems. Their hibernation pods were more or less malfunctioning after operating for a long period of time. After all, those pods weren't made by the Empire. They were made by the Tree Elves themselves when they realized that their journey was endless and they couldn't find the brakes of their starships. Of course, the technology of these hibernation pods couldn't be compared to the technology of the Empire. After operating for tens of thousands of years, the rate of malfunction had reached twenty percent. Some of the malfunctioning hibernation pods couldn't be opened or reactivated — this was fortunate, as the assistant technicians were doing their best to repair them. To them, it wasn't difficult to repair such primitive tools. There were also some hibernation pods that couldn't be infused with souls because there was a problem with the data interface. Currently, the souls of the Tree Elves were in the custody of Olga and her leader bees, and they could be revived after the hibernation pods were repaired. The worst thing was that some hibernation pods had completely shut down thousands of years ago. Due to an unstable energy supply or some other malfunction, the bodies inside were completely destroyed.
Even though the Tree Elves who were in terrible conditions only made up a small portion of the population, but in the face of a gigantic population of 2.6 billion, even a small portion was a huge problem. That was a population of over ten million!
Thus, Liliana had been working non-stop for three whole days. She only showed her face to me during mealtimes. She was under Jingle's orders (…) to revive the Tree Elves who had lost their physical bodies. After all, to the high-ranked priests of the Goddess of Life, the destruction of a physical body wasn't an irreversible disaster. She was leading her priests to create a large number of new bodies for the revival of the Tree Elves — just like how Jingle had revived her back then. What was worth rejoicing was that the souls of the Tree Elves were stored in the starship's database. Back then, the navigators had saved the lives of tens of millions of Tree Elves by doing this in order to save costs.
I could tell that Liliana was astonishingly passionate about this task. Even though she kept complaining about not being able to rest properly, the light in her eyes couldn't be hidden from others. She loved this task.
While Liliana was jumping up and down busily, another figure had to be mentioned. That was the Elf girl, Green Calyx. This girl had a small accident while she was in hibernation (she had been shot in the knee by a loli). Now, she was completely inseparable from Liliana. How should I put it, Icetis had given me an explanation. Green Calyx and Liliana's current situation was similar to the relationship between me and little Seijing. One's soul had the mark of the other, so an irresistible sense of intimacy was born. Green Calyx probably treated Liliana as her mother. Just thinking about this made me want to print three million copies of this newspaper and distribute it all over the world. I would print a line of words on it: Liliana, to think that you would have such a day!
In reality, Lin Xue had already done so. Together with the Mercury Lamp, the mastermind behind the scenes was Xiaoxue. Of the three of them, one wished for the world to be in chaos, one had a deep hatred, and the last one was full of evil tricks. When the three of them worked together, their destructive power was probably comparable to that of several armies of naughty children …
However, looking at Liliana's reaction towards Green Calyx, the situation wasn't too bad. Although Green Calyx's pestering made the black-bellied High Priestess depressed, it was equivalent to her finding a natural research specimen. If she wanted to create a Tree Elf's body, she would need a specimen, right? One must know that the soul was very picky when it came to the body. It was still fine to inject a soul into a body of the same race. However, if the body belonged to a different race, then it would be extremely difficult to possess the body. Unless it was like Liliana, who went through a cycle of death (soul transmigrating into a Blood Elf) and was then given a new life by the Goddess of Life (soul transmigrating into a Demigod), otherwise, in theory, Pigsy's reincarnation could already be considered as a highly skilled job. Thus, the mission of the Priestesses of the Goddess of Life was to create more than 15 million original Tree Elf bodies. At first, Liliana intended to find a few volunteers from the Tree Elves to provide body samples. In the end, Green Calyx took the initiative to go over …
That Tree Elf was very suitable. She was young, healthy, and full of energy. Furthermore, because she had been struck by Liliana on her knee, she was more or less tainted with a bit of divinity. She was able to better coordinate with the God Equipment used by the Priestesses. Thus, with Green Calyx as the blueprint, millions of Tree Elf embryos were created. The southern suburbs of the City of Shadows had a large area specially designated for cultivating these embryos. In that area, Liliana built a gigantic structure known as the "Heavenly Garden" — the name sounded very arrogant, but seeing that this garden was really built right next to God, I didn't delve too deeply into it. The "Heavenly Garden" was a gigantic three-dimensional nest. Its main body was an alloy skeleton mixed with stargold and obsidian. These huge alloy beams formed a gigantic "Sky Garden" that was piled up with countless small cubes. Every single skeleton of the "Sky Garden" was entwined with vines that emitted a faint green light. These vines were cultivated from the sprouts of the World Tree. Hidden within the vines were gigantic flower buds. Every flower bud was a hotbed for nurturing life. Newborn Tree Elf embryos rapidly matured here. Under the stimulation of the Divine Power of Life, it only took a few days for them to grow into a new individual — of course, this required a huge amount of nutrients. Thus, I tricked Jingle into taking another sauna. I mixed the Jingle juice that I had obtained from cooking Jingle into 20 tons of water and watered it in the garden …
The results proved to be pretty good. This gigantic garden that occupied an area equivalent to a quarter of Shanghai and was twice the height of the Burj Khalifa took less than 12 hours to grow like crazy. To the extent that Liliana had no choice but to gather more than 3000 Empire soldiers to cut down the trees day and night. The little lass was practically crying as she begged me not to help …
