"A substance from my homeland?"
I seemed to have heard something that was hard to understand. I looked at Tawil curiously. "What place? The former Fifteenth Sky Zone? "
Tawil and Sives couldn't help but look helpless. "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
I laughed dryly. "I'm just trying to lighten the mood … Alright, let's not waste any more time. What do you mean?"
Sives took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. This was the first time I saw such a wavering expression on the female adjutant's face. She even seemed to be doubting her own worldview. It seemed like she didn't believe what she was about to say. "Your Majesty, every civilization should have a place of origin. Even the Protoss and the Shiring Apostles have a place of origin. You should understand this, right?"
I nodded. "Yes, everything returns to its mother's womb …"
Sives said, "… Your Majesty's conclusion is quite intuitive. That's how it is. In the core of this meteorite, there is a substance from my homeland. Right now, the in-depth analysis of it has not been completed. It is very likely that it only looks similar, but … in theory, any substance from any world will have its' registered information 'of its origin. Everything in the world is in the same registry. Even if it is the same thing in two worlds, for example, the same iron element, it is actually possible to find its unique unique code. Once this unique code is determined, the origin of the unknown substance in the meteorite can be determined. Based on the current progress, the probability of it coming from my homeland is very high. "
I nodded. I knew this myself. Every fundamental particle in every world had the mark of that world. Even if these fundamental particles were also widespread in other worlds, they could still be distinguished. This was one of the foundations of the world's information theory. It was also the "safety wall" that ensured that the extremely similar worlds in the Void, which could even be called parallel universes, would not have fatal collisions between them. It was also precisely because of this that illegal transmigration without normal Void travel was forbidden. Individuals that did not travel through the Void would cause foreign substances (or something other than matter) to contaminate the underlying information of other worlds. It was just like unpacking an unknown code into the system disk. It might be safe for a short period of time, but sooner or later, the foreign information would lower the system — in other words, the stability of the world.
Based on the "registered information" of everything in the world, we could determine which universe a common substance came from. Even if it was widespread in all universes, it would not escape the scanning of the underlying information.
"Right now, 70% of the underlying information has been scanned." Tawil looked at the meteorite sample floating on the anti-gravity platform. His gaze was unusually complicated. "In theory, at this level, we can determine whether a substance is actually a product of a certain universe. But … this is simply impossible. The homeworld … has long been destroyed. It was a complete destruction that left no residue — at least in theory. "
"The homeworld you are talking about …" I looked at Tawil and Seves, and then at Sandora, who seemed to be in deep thought. "Is it the world that the Shiring Apostles created?"
I more or less knew a little about the history of the Shiring Apostles. This powerful race that was now ranked third in the Void had an extraordinary origin. They were not born naturally, but were created by an older, more mysterious race. The race that created them may be considered an ordinary civilization in the eyes of the current Xiling Empire. Their technological prowess was probably only slightly better than the Fairy Ya 'li who had just mastered the Void travel technology. But their greatest achievement was to give the first-generation Shiring Apostles unprecedented evolutionary abilities and an indomitable will of steel. It was under the impetus of these two racial advantages that the Shiring Apostles reached their current heights. Now that Seves mentioned the homeworld, my first reaction was that it was the place where they were created.
"When we were created, the homeworld had already been destroyed. Theoretically speaking," Tawil said slowly. "We are all new apostles, but some basic information about the homeworld is stored in the core memory of every Shiring Apostles for generations. That is why I know a little about the situation of the homeworld. The Shiring Apostles were created in the middle of the Great Escape. According to the scattered information that we have now, the first-generation Shiring Apostles, which is the original, were born on a lonely Doomsday Ark. That was the most dangerous moment for the entire civilization … "
I had heard about this part of history before, but I didn't ask about it in detail at the time. Now, faced with a physical fragment that might have come from our homeworld, Tarver and Sives told me about the slightly damaged history in their memory cores.
The story began long before the birth of the Shiring Apostles, when the word 'Schilling' was not even a meaningful word. The ancient race that first created the Shiring Apostles did not have a clear name at the time, and it was only now that we gave them the name 'Schilling'. They were just a normal species in the beginning, calling themselves human, exploring their own world and the stars above their heads. They had a religion for a time, and later found the true path to advance amongst the stars. It was such a race, an ordinary race that was no different from the citizens of the Macro World we have seen, a race that was born and died every second in the Void.
The process of the ancient civilization's demise and the initial motive for their creation of the Shiring Apostles were all lost to the passage of time. However, based on the little bits of memory that remained, Sandora and the others could confirm that the Creators had encountered the Abyss, and that the Shiring Apostles were created to fight against the Abyss.
However, by the time the Creators created the First Apostles, their homeworld had already been completely destroyed by the Abyss.
Of course, we do not have precise records of this point in time, and Tawil could only make such an inference based on his own memory core. "Based on the fragments of the primordial memory, all information about the homeworld was stored in the form of files and 'instilled knowledge'. This means that the First Shiring Apostles could only learn about their homeworld through learning devices. The only explanation is that when they were born, the Creators had already been defeated by the Abyss and had begun to flee. The Originator was created on the runaway ark. "
"According to the core memory, before the Creators escaped from their homeworld, they had already tried to create a brand-new life that could resist the Abyss's corruption. That was the prototype of the Original Form. However, due to the difficulty, they only succeeded in creating the First Shiring Apostles when their homeworld was destroyed and their entire race was on the run." Sandora took over the topic and said slowly, "Now, the Original Form is in our research center. As you know, it is a kind of cyborg with many flaws. However, when the Creators fled their homeworld, they could not even create such an Original Form. When the first Original Form, which could be called the Shiring Apostles, opened their eyes, the fleeing ark had already been drifting in the void for hundreds of years. Everything about their homeworld could only be instilled in the form of data and concepts into the memory of the First Shiring Apostles. This memory has been passed down for billions of years, and it is still burning here — with bone-deep hatred. "Sandora said as she pointed at her chest.
"In other words, the Shiring Apostles have never seen their homeworld …" I thought about this part of history and could not help but sigh.
"This is a very ironic part." Xi Wei sighed helplessly. "We have stored information about our homeworld in the deepest part of our memory core, but our earliest individuals have only seen that place on a screen. We are a race born on the path of exile, so we are forever expanding the territory of the Empire … The lesson of the Creators is painful. We know how fragile a universe is, so the Shiring Apostles want their flag to occupy all the worlds. This originates from the hereditary hatred of the Abyss, and it is also a subtle sense of insecurity. "
I never thought that the Shiring Apostles would have such a thing as "insecurity". Their sense of insecurity was so fierce, and it was because of this that they expanded their territory to 135 heavens during the era of the Old Empire. It was as if they were worried about not having a house to live in, and ended up occupying half a city …
"No one has ever seen our homeworld, but you are able to tell that this thing is from our homeworld?" I shook my head and retracted my thoughts from the ancient era that could no longer be verified, and refocused on the huge meteorite sample in front of me. Tawil nodded. "Yes, although the customs and customs of our homeworld are completely lost, we clearly know what kind of 'characteristic code' the materials of our homeworld should have. This might be the last part of the core memory that the Creators inserted into the original body before they left. It is probably because of their nostalgia for their homeworld, and they also hoped that the Shiring Apostles that they created would remember the taste of their homeworld. "
"Just like how a traveler would put a bag of their homeworld in their luggage before they left, remembering the appearance of their homeworld is far less important than remembering the 'smell' of their homeworld. That is probably what they thought."
"The Fallen Apostles are fighting over this thing?" When Xiaoxue saw that we didn't speak, she pulled on my sleeve timidly and muttered softly, "They are quite nostalgic?"
"Perhaps that is part of the reason, but I feel that there is an even greater meaning behind it." Sandora calmed herself down and said calmly, "The Shiring Apostles are a species that is more rational than emotional. Although we are also moved by the news from our homeworld, before this, we are more concerned with the interests of our race. If there is no greater meaning behind it, the Fallen Apostles definitely wouldn't start a war over such a useless piece of ore. There must be a greater meaning behind these stones from our homeworld … "
I thought for a while and returned to my initial guess. "Maybe the homeworld of the Schilling Apostles still exists? And that homeworld hides a great secret? "
"That is impossible!" This time, Tawil, Sives, and even Sandora exclaimed in unison. Then, they looked at each other and decided to let Sandora speak first. "Ah Jun, you know how destructive the Gate of the Abyss is. In the entire history that I know of, if a Gate of the Abyss explodes and there is no super civilization as powerful as the Shiring Apostles or the Star Domain Protoss to completely destroy it, then it will destroy the entire universe sooner or later. It is only a matter of time. The Gate of the Abyss will never disappear on its own. When the creators started to go into exile, it means that the Gate of the Abyss in our homeworld has completely gone out of control. I even suspect that when they boarded the ark, our homeworld had already begun to collapse. No matter how you think about it, the possibility of our homeworld surviving to this day is zero. Even the possibility of a fragment remaining is zero. "
"But we do have such a stone with us. It came from your homeworld." I pointed at the huge meteorite. Well, actually, I was referring to the small piece of dense material in the center of the meteorite. The meteorite itself did not come from our homeworld, but somehow, its core contained a piece of material from our homeworld.
Tawil did not know how these two things fused together. At first, she guessed that there was a material leak when the homeworld was destroyed, and some kind of spatial flash phenomenon caused the material in the meteorite to fall into another universe. But just now, she overturned this conjecture: the meteorite was formed no earlier than 20,000 years ago, and the special material in its core also left traces of crossing worlds at about the same time. That was to say, at least until 20,000 years ago, the special material in the core of the meteorite should have stayed in its homeworld.
"Maybe we should look for the Fairy Void Mart peddlers and see where they found this."
"I will do it now." Sives nodded and got up to contact the magical Fairy Void Carrier.
Tawil was still frowning. "Your Majesty, maybe even if we find the source of the meteorite, we can't solve our problem. It was formed about 20,000 years ago. Even if it means that our homeworld is still alive and is still leaking material to other worlds 20,000 years ago, we can't track the source of the material leak, so we can't find the coordinates of our homeworld. The spatial flash phenomenon won't last that long. It will only appear for a moment, and then the two worlds will no longer be entangled. In theory, yes. "
Tawil was right, but it was better to do it than not to do it at all. I could see that even Sandora, who had been emphasizing the rational side of the Shiring Apostles, was a little excited after seeing the meteorite that might have come from their homeworld. This had gone beyond rational and emotional issues. It was a big event involving the origin of the Shiring Apostles. The Shiring Apostles' hatred for the abyss, their inherent war mission, and the source of their continuous expansion and conquest, all came from the homeworld that was destroyed by the Gate of the Abyss. If there was anything in the world that could make the Shiring Apostles lose their composure, it was the news from their homeworld.
The appearance of the original form had caused an uproar in the mental network of the New Empire, and now the bombshell was even bigger than the original form. The origin of the Schilling civilization might still be alive, and the homeworld that was remembered by all the Apostles, but no one had really seen it, might still be alive!
Fortunately, the Shiring Apostles did not have cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. Otherwise, do you know how many people would have died?
Next, Tawil completed the in-depth scan and cutting of the meteorite. The dense matter at the core of the meteorite was carefully separated. It looked black, and I could not tell whether it was metal or some kind of heavy element crystal. But that was not important. What was important was that its origin was fascinating. The final result of the in-depth scan was completely within my expectations: it came from the homeworld of the Shiring Apostles that we had never met. It was a 100% match.
I knew that the bastard fate would not disappoint us. The only purpose of this bastard was to make our family restless every day. At this time, I suddenly felt that the clay tablet that Fox brought back last night was nothing. Compared to the origin of the Shiring Apostles, how important could a lump of mud that had been buried on Earth for six thousand years be? At most, it was a fragmentary record of the civilized period of Atlantis.
Before Tawil's in-depth scan and cutting work was completed, the strange Queen Fairy was brought to the headquarters in a hurry. I saw twenty Schilling Royal Guards behind her. Phyllis was still in shock. When she saw me, she almost jumped up. "I want to buy an Imperial Army warship secretly. It's just a plan. It hasn't turned into action yet. Do you have to do this?!"
I was speechless. It seemed that there was some misunderstanding.
I coughed awkwardly and asked, "What do you mean by buying an Imperial Army warship secretly?"
Phyllis was a smart girl. She immediately realized that she had said too much. She looked up at the sky and stammered, "The ceiling is really high today … So you didn't send these soldiers here to catch me and shoot me?"
I turned to look at the female adjutant and asked, "What did you tell her when you contacted her?"
"Don't leave the house. The Emperor summoned you," Syves replied calmly. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with her words. "Maybe the Empire soldiers made a little mistake when they went to pick you up."
I thought for a moment and told the Empire soldiers behind Phyllis to leave quickly. As the most ruthless group of soldiers in the Empire, it would be a tragedy for the Royal Guards to deal with them.
"That scared me..." Phyllis patted her chest exaggeratedly. Looking at the expression on her face, it was hard to tell whether she was really scared or not. Only then did she have the time to look around and immediately recognized what was occupying the whole warehouse. "Ah! Isn't this my stone? "
"I want to talk to you about the stone," I said, pointing to the nearest gravity-free platform. There was a small tag floating on the platform, which was originally placed together with the meteorite sample. It was the identification tag left by the Fairy Void Nation. "This thing …"
Phyllis immediately looked at me seriously, with the radiance of an honest businessman on her face. "We don't refund …"
I was speechless.
