On the third day after the discovery of the original body, I received news from Xingchen that the Protoss exploration team had confirmed the specific location of the abnormal signal source that they had discovered at the borders of the old Empire. Godfather himself and a large group of Protoss leaders were personally rushing over to check out the situation. At the same time, he also extended an invitation to me.
"That's the situation." I told the whole family about it. "According to Godfather, what they discovered was the wreckage of a world, a wreckage of the old Empire that had yet to completely dissipate after its destruction. There are signs of the Abyss within the wreckage, but it's in a stable and suppressed state. There's quite a bit of evidence that indicated that deep diving operations had taken place in that world, so the Protoss experts guessed that it was one of the entrances that the Empire had used to conduct deep diving operations into the Abyss. It's even possible that the facilities there are still functioning normally. I intend to personally go over and take a look. Sandora has decided to stay behind to look after the house, so who else is willing to come along? Sign up now. "
Without a doubt, the first to raise her hand was Shallow Shallow. Actually, she had no idea what we were going to do there, nor did she know what was so fun about the world wreckage. She just knew that I was going out, so she was definitely going to join in the fun. The second to raise her hand was her older sister. She didn't have any other reason other than to follow along to take care of her younger brother … Speaking of which, she didn't have to say this reason in front of the five Protoss cops, did she? That idiot Icetis was laughing so hard that her lumbar disc was about to rupture!
"Xiaoxue, you go with your father." Lin Xue patted her daughter's back and pushed the naughty child to me without any hesitation. I looked at her in surprise. Originally, I thought that she was going to do it herself. According to the usual rules, Miss Lin's motivation to get involved was second only to Shallow Shallow. She wasn't just joining in the fun, she herself was a part of the fun. However, I didn't expect that she would actually decide to stay at home obediently and push her own daughter out. Could it be that Miss Lin finally realized that as a mother, she needed to control herself a little and decided to rein in her usual crazy personality and stay at home to help her husband and educate her child?
Xiaoxue obviously didn't know what her mother was thinking. She looked confused. Then, Miss Lin looked up to the sky and sighed. She said sorrowfully with an old-fashioned look on her face, "The old man's birthday is in two days. No one in the family dares to be absent. At this critical moment, if I go out with you to fool around, I'm afraid my legs will be broken when I get home …"
Hearing this, Xiao Xue's eyes immediately lit up. She jumped into Lin Xue's embrace, not caring that she was already a seventeen-year-old girl. She started rubbing herself against Lin Xue, "What? What? Great-grandfather's birthday?! Oh, I almost forgot the date! This is one of the three things I've been looking forward to the most since I was a child. No, I have to hurry up and prepare now. You guys don't give me pocket money, and only Great Grandpa gives me the most … Oh yes, and Uncle, I have to extort a lot of money from him … "
Bang! Miss Lin hit Xiaoxue's head with her hand. The sound was so loud that I heard it even though I was sitting across from her. Then, I saw the naughty child's mother smile at the naughty child, "Go with — — your — father — — on a business trip! You crazy girl, why are you joining in the fun at this time! "
"Ah?" Xiaoxue suddenly wanted to cry, "Why can't I … Dad, you have to control your wife. Your wife is bullying your child!"
This time, even Icetis couldn't stand it anymore. The corner of her mouth twitched as she explained to Xiaoxue, "You're not even a fertilized egg this year, okay? You haven't even reached the protein stage, okay? How do you want your mother to explain to your great grandpa that she was fooling around with a man for a few days and suddenly had a daughter who was almost the same height as her? "
Oh my, Icetis's explanation was too vivid. Even Xiaoxue was stunned. Then, she scratched her chin in confusion, "Right, I haven't given birth yet. Okay, dad, I'll go with you on a business trip. Anyway, it's good to be with dad. "
Miss Lin and I let out a long sigh of relief at the same time. Good heavens, just talking a few words with the naughty child Xiaoxue felt like we had fought a battle. It was mentally and physically exhausting. This girl really wasn't easy to deal with. The amount of fuel she consumed was even more than a tank.
"Then, is there anyone else who wants to come along?" I looked around. In the end, only Pandora and her sister expressed interest. Everyone else seemed to lack interest. Of course, for people like Little Bubble and Mercury Lamp, no matter how much interest they showed, I didn't dare to bring them along. I couldn't let anything happen to my precious daughter. Of course, Xiaoxue was also a daughter, but she was the thick-skinned type. I reckoned that with this girl's ability, even if something happened to all the people around her, she might not even lose a hair.
"Liliana, why aren't you doing anything this time?" I looked curiously at the big loli Pope. She was curled up on the sofa, hugging one of Eleanor's wings and gnawing on it like it was ice cream (Eleanor had been ignored by everyone for half an hour already). She waved her hand at me when she heard what I said. "Of course, I'm the Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Life. If you bring me to meet Father and the others, it'll be the same as a regional manager being directly received by the CEO, chairman, general manager, deputy general manager, and all levels of directors. Who would take things too hard and still be happy in such a situation?"
I thought that it made sense. Also, based on Liliana's usual working attitude, she might be the most unqualified of all the Popes. She might even feel guilty meeting Father. This was different from bringing her to the Realm of the Gods. Going to the Realm of the Gods would be equivalent to a public holiday. To her, even if the company's leaders organized a visit to the headquarters, she could eat, drink, and play in a relaxed mood. She could also conveniently ignore the headquarters' leaders who would give a speech every time they arrived at a scenic spot. But this time, we were going to work, and the world wreckage didn't seem like a place where public holiday was allowed. If she were to meet Father, she would probably only be able to write a self-reflection …
Thus, the final number of people to go was decided. I, Shallow Shallow, Xiaoxue, and Pandora and her sister. The rest were all at home. For a family like ours that would always be huge whenever we went out, this time, we really had to reduce the number of people. Of course, the five Protoss cops had to follow us by default. There was no need to discuss this.
Of course, we weren't going alone. The place we were going to wasn't safe. The border area between the Old Empire and the Protoss was very close to the Fallen Apostle's sphere of influence. Moreover, it was probably in the active zone of the latter. Thus, it was necessary to bring a certain number of fleets to ensure the safety of the journey. (There was no need to worry about the safety of the destination itself. There should be an army of the Protoss stationed there. Besides, other than that one time when the Fallen Apostle had a stroke of bad luck, the Fallen Apostle probably wouldn't think of going head-on against Father.) In the end, under Sandora's suggestion, I brought a portion of the Vengeance Army's fleet along with Sicarro's fleet.
We didn't bring an entire army. This was to reduce the number of fleets as much as possible to prevent attracting the main forces of the Fallen Apostles. Based on the habits of the Fallen Apostles, once they discovered that the New Empire and the Protoss were carrying out a secret operation in a certain world, they would definitely destroy the target world at the first instance. This was the legendary tactic of not beating you to death, but disgusting you to death. I wasn't worried that the Fallen Apostle's army could deal a fatal blow to the allied forces of the Protoss and the New Empire. However, I was worried that they would hinder our research.
The choice of accompanying fleet this time was also well thought out. The Vengeance Army itself was the elite of the elite, and its combat power was comparable to the Royal Fleet. Coupled with their special "life form", when faced with unexpected situations, their reaction speed and command stability far exceeded that of ordinary fleets. Moreover, they also had the Warsong as their ace flagship. It was currently the only genuine planetary warship of the New Empire. There was no need to doubt its combat power. As long as the Warsong was set to silent mode, it was simply the perfect weapon (it had to be muted, the Warsong's current mainframe was too troublesome). The main reason for choosing Sicarro's fleet was their resistance. An army of fierce men and women who could charge head-on with the Galaxy or even the Genesis was no joke. Hanging them around the Admiral of the Empire would immediately increase the safety index by six points. Of course, another important reason for bringing Sicarro along was … the strong requests from the various city management departments in the City of Shadows.
Alright, let's put the details aside. In short, after arranging the matters in the City of Shadows properly — actually, there wasn't much to arrange. With Sandora personally staying behind to oversee things, I couldn't think of any guidance that a rookie like me could give her — we set off towards the world coordinates sent by Xingchen.
In fact, this was also an experiment to test how compatible the current equipment of the New Empire was with the Protoss's data format. This was a research topic, and it was of a long-term nature. In fact, what I came into contact with the most every day, other than the battle reports from the borders, were the project reports from various departments. From scientific research to military to administration, almost every operating Empire agency was simultaneously carrying out a large number of constructive projects. More than half of these projects were exploratory work that had only appeared in the New Empire. From this, it could be seen that as an Empire, it was impossible for the structure to be as simple and clear as those in novels and television shows. The kind of situation where the leaders and their aides had nothing better to do every day, only chasing after girls on the streets, throwing parties at home, and having romantic relationships with seven or eight people every day, and not having a relationship for more than forty episodes was absolutely impossible. If that was the case, the country would have been finished long ago. That was why I expressed my heartfelt incomprehension towards all forms of palace struggle dramas. Apart from finding a partner, couldn't the Emperor do anything related to the country?
Alright, I definitely didn't mean to be envious, jealous, or hateful at all. But if I could, I really wanted to live a leisurely life of drinking tea and flirting with girls … Of course, national affairs were complicated and complicated, and their degree of complexity and triviality would leave you with no time to spare. Putting everything else aside, just making the newly established data network of the New Empire compatible with the Protoss's "network" was a huge project that involved dozens of technical and political issues, and until now, this project was still in the basic construction stage … That might explain why the Admiral of the Empire did not hesitate to smash one of the Protoss's Void Nodes during the final jump even though we had accurately positioned ourselves according to the coordinates provided by the Protoss …
Well, it was a traffic accident. When we jumped according to the coordinates provided by the Protoss, we collided with a Void Node. Of course, the collision was not serious, and it was at most a slight graze. Then, I saw a group of Protoss soldiers scrambling out of the Void Node, and their leader was someone I knew: the Supreme Dragon God.
… I decided to pretend that I did not know him.
After resolving this small accident, the Empire's fleet docked next to the Protoss's fleet. Godfather, accompanied by several Protoss, came to the bridge of the Admiral of the Empire. As the bridge was more spacious, a fleet technician and the technician that Godfather brought along conversed. "Maybe your system automatically filtered the correction code during the second coordinate conversion. Of course, it could also be that we used the wrong communication protocol when we sent the jump request. Fortunately, both parties' emergency avoidance systems were activated normally, and the collision was not serious."
The long-bearded Protoss technician's answer was very creative. "Secondary coordinate conversion? So, you sent it twice? "
… Looks like the cause of the collision has been found.
"Cough cough." Before Godfather could greet us, he heard the conversation between the two technicians not far away. His face instantly turned awkward. He coughed twice and smiled at us. "The notification was a little rushed. It must have been hard on you." "It's not hard on me.
I finally got rid of the bunch of naughty kids at home. Just treat it as a relaxing trip … Yep, at least I got rid of most of them. "I chuckled. Then, I saw Xiaoxue reveal a tearful expression. She also knew that she was a naughty kid, although this girl did not seem to have any intention of changing." Let's get down to business first. "
"Yep, business first." Godfather nodded solemnly. He gestured for the few high-ranking Protoss officers behind him to find their own seats. After everyone had taken their seats on the officer's platform, his gaze fell on me. "Where's my leek box?"
I was speechless. Did my understanding of "business" with this second brother of mine deviate a little?!
I took out the only gift that Godfather had requested from my personal space. It was the divine calorie fast food item of Eastern China, Leek Box. It weighed a few dozen kilograms and was personally made by Anveena and my sister before we left. It was placed in an insulated box. Father God happily received it. He first took out a portion of it and distributed it to his entourage before putting the rest away. Seeing that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he only smiled faintly. "There's no rush. There's plenty of time."
I knew his unique personality and could only wave my hand helplessly. I tried my best to get used to the fact that a group of high-level Celestial Gods were munching on leek boxes and discussing world peace with me. Godfather finally mentioned their discovery. "To put it simply, the exploration team discovered the wreckage of a world. Its history should be tens of thousands of years old. It's roughly the same as the collapse of your Empire, or maybe a little later. Now, this wreckage has undergone special treatment. In order to prevent the Fallen Apostles from interfering, we have sealed the wreckage's information. Now, its only entrance is within the Void Node. Later, I will get the technicians to copy the entrance onto this spaceship. This way, other than the Void Node and your flagship, there will be no other way to enter the excavation site. "
I nodded. It seemed that Godfather had already considered that this place would not be peaceful and had made security measures to prevent the Fallen Apostles from entering at any time. Even though the Fallen Apostles probably wouldn't have the guts to attack this place where high-level combat power gathered.
At this moment, a young man's voice interrupted from the side. "Oh right, I just remembered something …"
I looked towards the source of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a strange man. He was wearing a gorgeous golden armor with a fiery red cloak behind him. His messy golden hair was dazzling and his face was so handsome that he could seduce girls even if he held a shotgun for two hours. He was none other than the highest Dragon God, Salon. Qian Yuhao. I never expected that even the leek boxes made by Anveena couldn't seal this big brother's mouth. The moment he opened his mouth, I started sweating all over. I couldn't help but think of a painful experience. The people sitting around the highest Dragon God had already started moving to the side silently.
Qian Yuhao didn't notice the change in the atmosphere around him at all. His face was already glowing. "Speaking of the discovery of this world's wreckage, I actually had a hand in it. At that time, I was reviewing …"
"Wait a moment." I stood up before Godfather ordered the highest Dragon God to be sent to the isolation room because I had suddenly thought of an idea. "Let me find someone for you to chat with."
"Really?" The highest Dragon God's eyes instantly lit up brightly. I smiled at him and turned on the communication device. "Warsong, is Second Lunatic online?"
In the next second, an arrogant and ear-piercing female voice came from the communication device. "My surname is Chen! This ship had 2,345 main cannons back in the day! I am not Second Lunatic … Oh, I mean the General's brother. What do you want? "
I had contacted the Warsong, which was actually Visca's lunatic AI back then. The latter was currently the driver of the Warsong. She addressed me as' General's brother '. This was also the only reason why she was loyal to the Empire. However, I didn't really mind. It wasn't easy for this lunatic to be loyal to me. I knew that I didn't have to be polite with her. "Firstly, you were an aircraft carrier back then, so don't mention your main cannons. Secondly, I have found someone for you to chat with."
"Aye, sure." The lunatic AI had an unprecedentedly happy mood. It was completely different from her usual bad mood of cursing. (Does she really have such a thing?) "I can finally find someone to talk to. You don't know how boring this guy called the Warlord is usually. He only replied with an 'oh' after three days of talking to me. He's as boring as the general's sister. Where's the person you found for me to talk to?"
I turned my head and called for the highest Dragon God to stand in front of the communication device. I silently took two steps back.
"Hello, my name is Salon. Qian Yuhao is a Dragon God. "
"Hello, my surname is Chen. I am a genius."
"Let me tell you about how this Dragon God traveled the world back then. It was a season where the grass grew and the orioles flew. This Dragon God was exiled …"
I silently turned on the soundproof field and sat opposite Godfather. I smiled faintly in front of the high-level Celestial Gods, hiding my achievements and fame.
Everyone was speechless.
