Just as Dingdang excitedly pointed out her discovery to us, Bryndis, Qian Qian, and Lin's group finally caught up from behind. Actually, in theory, they should have been teleported to a position closer to the end than everyone else, so they should have been the first to arrive. It was a pity that Qian Qian, this strange girl, was among them, so it was destined that their journey would not be smooth. When Sister Bing appeared, she had a bitter expression on her face. The moment she appeared, she grabbed my neck and started to list out the crimes that Shallow Shallow had committed along the way. Basically, it was all the entertainment that that girl created out of her whims, plus a certain Dragon God girl who took the side of the evildoer. (Speaking of which, what does Lin being easily tricked have to do with me?) Evil deeds.
Icetis could be said to have been tormented along the way, but she couldn't be hit, scolded or even talked to. Sister Bing might be a female hoodlum, but she was also a female hoodlum with principles. She wouldn't be able to "use force on a bro's woman" even if she was killed …
Icetis and I fought back and forth for a few minutes until Sandora couldn't stand it anymore. She chased Icetis away with two righteous reasons: "You can't touch the food of an owner" and "If you really want to act spoiled, go find a man yourself".
It was only at this moment that Jingle found an opportunity to jump out again. She jumped up and down to show us her big discovery —
"Here, here!" The little thing fluttered in the air and pointed to a pillar not far behind her. It was a white pillar that was less than a meter tall, made of an unknown synthetic material. There was a holographic projection surrounding the pillar, which meant that this thing had a specially prepared independent energy source. There was a beam of light above the pillar, and within the beam of light floated a silver-white commanding knife. That was the thing that Jingle wanted us to see. "This is it! It's so heavy! Jingle couldn't get it out even after trying for so long! "
"Storm Commander's sword?" That was my first reaction. However, after taking a closer look, I realized that this wasn't the case. I didn't see the Storm Commander's Eye of Lightning emblem on the hilt of this longsword. Furthermore, the extremely extravagant patterns on the handguard didn't seem to belong to a normal Storm Commander. This was probably a decorative sword that belonged to a high-ranking military officer. It wasn't used on the battlefield, but rather as a part of his military uniform.
"Strange, there's nothing here. Why is there only a decorative saber?" Sandora furrowed her eyebrows. She reached into the beam of light and grabbed the sheath of the sword. With a slight tug, she pulled it out of the restraining force field. After a metallic clang, Sandora pulled out this cold weapon that had been silent for who knew how many years, revealing a sharp blade that was still as shiny as new. The moment the blade left the sheath, a dark blue energy flowed out from the handguard and spread to the blade, giving off a slight buzzing sound.
Sandora casually swung this decorative saber, and the latter's energy glow drew several beautiful lines in the air. It could be seen that even though Sandora didn't normally use cold weapons in combat, she had accumulated an astonishing amount of experience. She was definitely several times more proficient than the so-called cold weapon masters among mortals. Fine, I didn't actually see anything, but wouldn't saying that make me seem like a professional? "The structure is intact, the functions are intact, and the operation is not bad. However, the biggest problem is that it is just a saber. It doesn't have any hidden recording device, nor does it have any artificial intelligence. Sigh." Sandora evaluated this item. After carefully scanning its structure, Sandora revealed a disappointed expression.
"I also have a similar saber, but I've never used it before." Sandora casually tossed this weapon that didn't have much practical value to me. "This isn't something used in combat, but it is quite useful as a symbol of military strength. Do you want it? "
"Why would I want it?" I shrugged my shoulders and copied Sandora's actions. I swung my wrist a few times in the air. You don't say, I felt that these two swings were quite similar. If I was thrown into the Moon Palace, Wu Gang would definitely not be able to do anything …
We looked round, and found, rather to our disappointment, that there was nothing here.
The entire platform was empty. This huge square, which was equivalent to several soccer fields connected together, didn't have anything of value left behind. Not to mention the hibernation pod and database that we expected, there wasn't even a note. The command saber in the middle of the square was the only thing that we found. Although it was beautiful, what could it do in this situation? Bring it home and let Anveena chop it into dumpling stuffing?
Everyone was greatly disappointed. The originally vigorous fighting spirit that we had before entering the assembly hall had been completely swindled. Here, we only found a seemingly old phantom and a command saber that might have been of great significance. Now that we had found Jingle, it seemed that there wouldn't be any more gains. I glanced at the elder sister and said, "Let's wait for Shallow Shallow and the others to come up, then we will leave. This is really disappointing."
"I still feel that it shouldn't end like this," the elder sister muttered. She took the command saber from my hand and casually swung it around. Alright, her swordsmanship was basically at the same level as mine. Perhaps in her hands, this saber could only chop dumpling stuffing. "The Shiring Apostles rarely do things that are worthless, especially when they placed the command saber here so solemnly. Even if it is an ornament, it is still a weapon."
No one noticed that the command saber had started to change. The bluish-white halo on the blade gradually became brighter and brighter at an imperceptible speed. When the elder sister was about to put the saber back into the scabbard, she was surprised and said, "Huh? How did this saber become so bright? "
"Quickly throw it away!" I subconsciously shouted. However, before the elder sister could react, a violent white light suddenly filled everyone's vision. It wasn't from the saber, but from the platform beneath our feet!
The white light dissipated after two or three seconds. I looked up and instantly exclaimed in unison with Lin Xue, "What the heck!"
Less than a hundred meters in front of us, there were hundreds of neatly lined up figures! More than half of them were Imperial Army officers in military uniforms!
Sandora instinctively got into a fighting stance. I activated my shield at almost the same time. The others also got ready to attack. However, at this moment, the elder sister suddenly pulled me back and said, "Wait a minute, these are all projections."
"Damn, I got a fright." I scratched my head awkwardly. It was mainly because the commotion earlier had been too great and everyone was on high alert. After the white light dissipated, hundreds of Imperial Army officers suddenly appeared in front of us. Moreover, all of them looked so real that anyone would subconsciously be on high alert. However, when I looked carefully, the hundreds of neatly lined up figures were still different from their real bodies. They had an extremely faint layer of light on them and the edges of their projected bodies seemed to be translucent.
"Are these the phantoms of the old days again?" I muttered to myself as I observed the projections with their backs facing the crowd. Yes, all the projections had their backs facing the crowd. Of course, they wouldn't react to us as they were just projections. Eighty percent of the people in the projections were wearing familiar Imperial Army uniforms. Even though their uniforms were different from the current high-ranking officers in the City of Shadows, it was easy to identify them based on the Imperial Army insignia and design details. The other twenty percent of them could be non-military high-ranking apostles. The few figures standing at the front of the formation were especially eye-catching. They had wings on their backs and were dressed in white clothes. Without exception, they had silver-white hair. This kind of appearance was similar to the [Star Domain Protoss]'s version of the Xiling Empire's angels.
"They are the commanders of the old Empire's mystical side." The elder sister nodded and said, "They must have gathered here back then."
"That might be Alaiye." Sandora touched my arm and pointed at the front of the group of projections. There stood a blurry figure with her back facing us. The edge of her body was like a heavily disrupted television screen that constantly emitted clutter. I knew how Sandora determined it. Based on her guess, when the main body stood nearby, the phantoms of the old days in this space would become blurry due to the disturbance of information. The figures in the front were very clear, but only the angel commander standing at the front was a blurry silhouette. Naturally, it would be easy for people to associate it with the silly cat angel who was standing beside me in a daze.
"These projections seem to be waiting for something." The elder sister stretched out her hand and poked the nearest projection. In the end, she easily pierced through the layer of phantoms. "Ah, someone has appeared!"
Another blurry figure suddenly appeared in the air. Judging from the figure's posture, it seemed to be a woman. However, I couldn't see her face clearly. I could only vaguely make out that she was wearing something similar to a long trench coat. Her footsteps were vigorous and forceful. The moment this figure appeared, I could feel that she was different from the others. Even though she was just a phantom recorded from ancient times, she still carried an indescribable heavy aura. Even if it was just a faint feeling, the aura was real. She strolled to the front of the orderly formation of the Imperial Army officers. The officers saluted in unison. Even though it was just a group of phantoms, I could still feel the imposing aura of an army.
After observing for a while, I suddenly noticed that the new female phantom had a sword by her waist. It was the same sword that the elder sister was holding! This sword was the one that the phantom had worn back then!
We took a few steps back and watched the scene from the side as though we were watching a movie. All of us held our breaths as though we were afraid that we would interrupt this precious recording.
"That should be the Emperor of the Fifteenth Sky of the old Empire!" Sandora said softly. Although she knew that the phantoms wouldn't be aware of her existence, she still said it subconsciously. "Damn it, I can't see it clearly … I can't see it clearly?!" Sandora suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened. However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the projection not far away, interrupting her next words.
"Everyone is here." The one who spoke was the blurry phantom that Sandora guessed to be the Emperor of the Fifteenth Sky of the old Empire. Her voice was severely distorted and carried a noisy electronic noise. However, the content of her words still appeared in everyone's mind. "How's the preparation going?"
An old Imperial Army officer wearing a silver light armor walked forward. "Everything is ready, Your Majesty. The Concept Separation will be activated the moment Army Leader Alaya leaves this universe. After that, the mother planet will be separated into two parts according to your instructions. "
"Very good." The blurry phantom of the Emperor seemed to nod. Then, she looked at the angel standing at the front of the formation. "Alaya, get ready. When the mirror starts to reflect the other world, you have to meet up with Pandora."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The blurry figure of the high-ranking angel was indeed Alaya. She bowed to the former Emperor of the Fifteenth Celestial Sector, but then she asked, "But is this really appropriate? I am the commander of the Occult. I should be with my soldiers. "
"Some things can't have it both ways." The projection of the Emperor of the Fifteenth Sky trembled slightly as if the signal was severely disrupted again. However, we could still hear her 'voice' clearly. From her voice, we could hear a hint of helplessness and determination. "Even if there is only a fifty percent chance, you have to preserve one arbitration organization. Either you leave your soldiers, or you let Pandora give up her army. You can only choose one. In order to preserve as much power as possible on both sides as possible, I will stay here personally. In this case … three arbitration organizations, one emperor and one royal guard. Perhaps it can be equalized."
"Yes, Your Majesty. This is indeed the only choice." Alaya's phantom bowed slightly. "Then I shall set off."
The Emperor's silhouette nodded. "Alaya, this is the last time I'll be sending you off to war. Bid farewell to Pandora and Gaia on my behalf before you forget about this place … No, forget it. Don't mention anything about this place to them. Let everything take its course. Odemsius, escort the Army Commander to the tower. Come back as soon as possible. "
A burly male officer dressed in a well-ironed military uniform with two balls of arcane lightning dancing in his eyes walked out of the formation. He saluted Alaya before disappearing in the light of teleportation.
"Alright, everything that needs to be done has been done." The phantom of the Emperor looked at her commanders and said in a low voice. "N7-05, according to plan, shut down the facilities on the mother planet one by one. Jorg, check whether our army has entered hibernation. Yilan, check the status of the guard. I'm afraid he will have to stand the longest shift — if we are to be preserved. How are the dragons outside? "
She said the last sentence to the air beside her. As soon as she finished speaking, a female face formed by trembling data appeared in the air. "The gardener reports to you. The transformation of the dragons has been completed. The gardener has shifted the status of the dragons in this world's Ladder of Life to ENS-30596-K. They will be partially exempted from the Concept Fragmentation and can receive instinctive instructions from the souls of the race. However, the progress of the project has met with the expected obstacles. They may only be able to recognize the Galactic Dragon God, but not the other Protoss. The gardener is deeply sorry for this. "
"Can't you increase the sensitivity a little more?"
"The gardener expresses her regret, Your Majesty. If you wish for the dragons to recognize the gods other than the Dragon God, you need to separate them from the Concept Fragmentation to a greater extent. This may cause this world to use the Galactic Domain as a springboard to mirror the other side. Your exemption plan will fail. The thousand years of transformation and camouflage of these artificial dragons will also be flawed. Please avoid this risk as much as possible."
"Alright, that's good. A thousand years of transformation — we can't let Vanna's sacrifice go to waste." The phantom of the Emperor sighed. "This way, the two parts of the mother planet that have been separated will have their own awakening conditions. The power that Vanna left behind is still here. The impact may be stopped for another hundred years or so. In this hundred years, we must do something. "
"Your Majesty, are you sure?" The phantom of a commander stood up. "The success rate is too low. It's almost a fantasy. The signal source that we have scanned is very likely to be an ordinary world fragment. There's even a hundred percent chance that it's an ordinary world fragment. Do you know how low the probability of the birth of an existence like the Godfather is? It's almost theoretically zero … "
"I know, but I want to try."
"Then, this is your will. But even if there really is a conscious individual hidden in there, how will you communicate with it? Or rather, can it be communicated? This is a completely indescribable 'race'. I'm afraid we can't guarantee your safety — especially in a situation where that individual may not have the ability to think properly. "
"That's right. Your worries are very reasonable. No one can defeat a Void Creature, especially in its cradle." The phantom of the Emperor raised his voice. "But the Godfather said that Void Creatures are born with intelligence. Communication is definitely not a problem. I don't necessarily have to fight it. In fact, the only thing I need to worry about is the other party's view of good and evil. Perhaps in the eyes of a newly born Void Creature, the life and death of any physical race does not matter. It still can't understand what 'life' and 'death' mean to mortals. But I think at least the Abyss can be used as a bargaining chip. The Void Creatures hate the Abyss. I hope this can move it."
"Your subordinate will prepare the fleet for you." The unknown commander bowed and said.
"No, I will only bring the Royal Guards and the vassals. All of you, except for Reggie, go into hibernation according to the plan. Reggie, you will set off with me. Your ability might be useful in the negotiation. After all, we don't know what kind of language a newly born Void Creature uses to communicate — — I'm afraid it doesn't even use language to communicate. "
"Yes, Your Majesty," a woman's voice rang out, mixed with a hissing noise.
The one called Reggie was a female military officer standing behind Alaya's Great Old Phantom. She was wearing a long black trench coat. Her presence seemed to be so low that no one had noticed her. When she stood up, I realized something. She was also an abnormally blurry figure. I couldn't see her face at all!
If my previous guess was correct, there was only one reason why these Great Old Phantoms were being disrupted. That was … their main bodies were nearby. We looked at each other. The expressions on our faces were more and more interesting. How could we explain the current situation? Not to mention anything else, the Great Old Phantom of the Emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven was still releasing noise. How could we explain this phenomenon?
"Their main bodies are nearby. They are among us." Sandora's gaze swept across everyone. However, she didn't continue speaking because the phantoms in front of everyone were still moving. This' recording 'was longer than we had expected.
"Reggie, what are you looking at?" The Great Old Phantom of the Fifteenth Heaven's Emperor suddenly spoke, attracting our attention once again. I subconsciously raised my head, only to find that the mysterious commander of the old Empire known as' Reggie 'had turned around. Although I couldn't see her face, judging from her posture, her gaze was on …
Fall on our group!
Her gaze was on a group of people who didn't even stand in front of her back then!
I subconsciously looked behind me, thinking that she was looking at something behind us. After all, to a 'recording' that was recorded tens of thousands of years ago, we didn't exist. However, I soon realized that there was nothing behind me. 'Reggie' was looking at us, the uninvited guests who had crossed a long period of time to intrude into this place.
"Reggie, what are you looking at?" The Emperor's voice sounded again with great curiosity.
"I saw something … interesting, but it has nothing to do with you now."
