Everything related to the old Empire would always have unexpected developments. From the earliest document library plan to the current self-rescue plan of the fifteenth sky, there were always some people who were haunting us and loved to intrude. I was just about to say that I was used to the fact that Ockham would leave some trouble for the new Empire every now and then. But now, I was surprised to find that Abyss Schilling was among the haunting guys. What was worse was that Abyss Schilling was not dead yet …
We were now 100% sure that this spaceship had a special origin. It was not built by the fifteenth sky but was built by Abyss Schilling and delivered to the Emperor of the fifteenth sky (Big Sister). This also coincided with Sandora's previous scan of the spaceship. Sandora found that this spaceship did not have a conventional structure. But at that time, we all thought that it was just a special battleship used by the royal family. No one expected its origin to be so horrifying.
That internet ghost had secretly left a piece of information in the spaceship's database. Now that I think about it, even my elder sister didn't know that there was such a 'backdoor program' in her spaceship. After the program determined that the spaceship had been activated, it automatically executed the program. Now, in front of us was a pile of 'messages' from 70,000 years ago. I had sufficient reason to believe that these things would leave anyone dumbfounded.
Sandora looked at the list of information and frowned. "Back then, the concept of the fifteenth sky had already been severed. The one who stayed in the fifteenth sky was the remnant Schilling in the City of Shadows. I don't think she left these things behind."
I thought about the soft girl Schilling in the City of Shadows and suddenly felt that the information in front of me was not left behind by her.
"Then there is only one possibility." Big Sister nodded slightly. "This was left behind by Abyss Schilling. Before the concept was severed, she had contacted my past life and handed this spaceship over to the fifteenth sky."
"So, Abyss Schilling was secretly involved in the self-rescue plan of the fifteenth sky?" I still found it hard to believe. "I've always thought that this plan to save ourselves was something you, Lin Xue, and Shallow Shallow came up with in your past life. So there's a mastermind behind all this?"
"At that time, the Abyssal Schilling hadn't been corrupted yet, so you can't call it the Black Hand." Sandora corrected him seriously. "And it's possible. Don't forget that I was protected by her safety barrier. She even launched a bunch of arks to escape before the Abyssal Shock spread, so it's possible that she used other means to warn the other heavens …"
"No, it shouldn't be a warning. She should be taking advantage of the situation." Big Sister interrupted Sandora's speculation. "There are more than one hundred and thirty heavens. She can't only warn the fifteenth sky. According to the information we found, only a few emperors noticed the risk of Plan X in advance and only the fifteenth sky responded in advance. That's why she contacted the fifteenth sky. We have to be clear about the sequence of events. Otherwise, we will be misled."
At that moment, Sandora had quickly read the information left by Abyss Schilling through the direct link. Her expression was solemn and a little strange. I looked at her curiously. "What did you find?"
"The information did mention the fifteenth sky's self-rescue plan. It's consistent with the information we have so far. But there's one thing … Look at it yourself. It's a little shocking." As Sandora spoke, she extracted a part of the document and displayed it on the holographic projection. I realized that it was a message left by Abyss Schilling from a first-person perspective.
"… I have completed all the handover work and provided some of the technical details needed for the concept split. The fifteenth sky's research and development power is very strong. They should be able to complete the split before the impact arrives. After this split, I should be split too. According to the special life form of the network cluster consciousness, this is likely to lead to the emergence of two Schilling's. I'm not sure which part of the network my current 'self' will fall into, but there's a high chance that I will be split into a network segment with more nodes. That is, the Empire's network except for the fifteenth sky. "
From this, I can be sure that I will eventually fall into the abyss and be completely locked in that network. I have no regrets about this, but maybe I should still find a way to do something. So far, I have activated as many self-rescue plans as possible, including a large number of arks, a tinder, twenty seed databases, three protective domes, and as much as possible to suppress the corrupted fleet in the contaminated area to ensure that more spawns can escape this storm. But it seems that there is still something I can do … If I can control the corrupted fleet … The success rate is very low, but according to my life form, as long as I can partially escape the restraints of the basic agreement, it is feasible. "
That is, I cannot be corrupted. "
I should seek some power to help me fight against the corruption spreading in the network. Such power should exist. According to calculations, as long as the Abyss's activity is suppressed to a certain extent, its corruption could be neutralized. That may be the only valuable discovery in those insane experiments, and while it came from the 'other side', it should be effective on this side as well. Then the goal is clear: I am looking for a neutralizer. "
I'm leaving this message here to verify my plan. If anyone sees this message, then it proves that the attempt to resist the impact with the help of the Void Creatures has failed. However, the tinder on the spaceship has been preserved. The person who reads this message will be able to deduce that there's a high chance that he's a survivor of the Empire. You must know the following facts:
Regardless of the extent of the calamity, the tinder should have been preserved. Do not give up hope, for the Empire will prosper again. "
If the 'neutralizer' is successful, then the Shiring Apostles in the contaminated area should have survived. If you have not come into contact with them yet, be prepared: they will appear sooner or later, and there is a high chance that I will appear again. "
Since I am not sure of the effects of this' neutralization ', nor am I sure of the credibility of the information from the other side, even if I survive the contamination, I cannot be sure of the condition of myself and the other Xi Ling apostles. We may very well be harmful to the world of order. If the situation is really that bad, please do not hesitate. You must resolutely, thoroughly, and quickly eliminate all the survivors in the contaminated area, and ensure that no one is left alive. Because by then, there is a high possibility that' I 'will have mutated. The collective consciousness of the network is a life that is extremely difficult to destroy. You must destroy all the nodes to prevent' me 'from being reborn. Please keep that in mind. "
The rest of the information was blank.
"It seems that Abyss Schilling did more things than we imagined before the fall of the Empire," Sandora said in a low voice after a long silence, almost as if she was talking to herself. "Not only did she discover that Project X was about to fail, but she also came into contact with Emperor Schilling who was the only one who remained calm before the calamity broke out … Hmm, it was wise of her to do so. The other Heavens were basically in a frenzy at that time, and even if she appeared, I'm afraid that not many people would believe this strange lifeform that suddenly appeared."
"She might even be taken for samples and analyzed by some Heavenly Emperor with a strong desire for research," I couldn't help but complain. "A network ghost, who would have thought that such a strange lifeform would be born in the Empire's Data Network."
"I can see that Abyss Schilling is a cautious and reliable person, whether before or after the contamination," Sandora nodded. "So in order to prevent any accidents, she only came into contact with the Emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven, and the Fifteenth Heaven did accept her help. According to the information, part of the technical materials needed for the concept separation was even provided by Abyss Schilling … This makes sense, Abyss Schilling is the network consciousness, and she has all the knowledge of the Empire. It is definitely enough to provide technical support to the Fifteenth Heaven."
"But why didn't we know about this from other places before?" The elder sister looked puzzled. "We have recovered the mother planet of the mystical side, woke up Alleria and the three hundred officers of the mystical side of the Imperial Army, and salvaged a lot of relics. The three hundred commanders of the technological side have also recovered their memories, but it seems that no one knows about the existence of Abyss Schilling."
"Because she only came into contact with you, or at most, Lin Xue … Oh, Lizzy in my previous life." I quickly guessed what was going on. "There is no need for her to appear in front of every Shiring Apostles in the Fifteenth Heaven. She only needed to come into contact with the leader. As for why there is no record of her other than this ship … I don't understand."
"Because there is no need." Sandora gave the answer. "The Shiring Apostles will not do meaningless things. Abyss Schilling was still a more rigid network consciousness, so she did this more thoroughly. Publicizing her existence was meaningless to improve the survival rate of the Fifteenth Heaven, so she simply hid behind the scenes. Anyway, as long as she provided technical support and gained the trust of the ruler of the Fifteenth Heaven, her goal would be achieved."
Perhaps what Shadora said was part of the reason, but I felt like there were other factors involved as well. But … forget it, at any rate, we'd never been able to guess Xi Ling's thoughts correctly, no matter if it was before or after her corruption. As long as we can be sure of one thing: Abyss Schilling did have a hand in the plan to save the Fifteenth Heaven.
According to the clues that were leaked out from this document, the scale of her involvement was not small.
"This' neutralizer 'should be referring to me," I said, pointing to a paragraph in the middle of the document. "Abyss Schilling said that she wanted to find a neutralizer to reduce the activity of the Abyss in the polluted area. I really can't think of anyone other than the Void Creatures who can do this."
"Mm." Sandora nodded in agreement. "It seems that … when you went to protect the Fifteenth Heaven, you leaked a part of your power to the Data Network. Was it also part of her plan? She knew from the beginning that the Concept Severance could not stop the power of the Void Creatures, so she wanted you to help her neutralize the pollution from the beginning? "
My sister's eyes widened. "In that case, the Fallen Apostle was also a product of Abyss Schilling's plan?"
"I'm afraid so." Sandora looked at the information. "But what happened later developed in the worst direction. Although the Shiring Apostles in the polluted area survived, their temperament changed drastically. She was no exception."
The more I listened, the more uncomfortable I felt. I couldn't help but rub my chin and mumble, "Why do I feel like I was betrayed by a bunch of people back then? I was a fool from the beginning to the end. When I was alive, I opened the Great Tower Rush, and when I died, I had to treat people as Radix Isatidis. "
An awkward smile appeared on Sandora's face. "Err … You're right. Back then, the Fifteenth Heaven said that they wanted to form an alliance with you, but in the end, they just wanted to make use of your power. After all, the Empire had already broken off relations with the Protoss, so they couldn't ask God Father for help. Ah Jun, do you care about this a lot? "
I instantly chuckled. "It's still like what my sister said. It's my past life. To me, it's like a different person. At most, I would sigh and say that I was really a hothead back then. How could I not have the logic to chase after you? And to be honest, if it wasn't for the entanglement in my past life, I wouldn't have such a lively family in this life. Maybe I would have to be like Xing Chen, hiding in a remote corner for hundreds of millions of years. I would have to find someone to talk to by myself. I heard from him how boring it was when he first created the God Realm. Those days would have left a shadow in anyone's heart … "
As I spoke, I suddenly felt enlightened. In the end, I clapped my hands. "Now that I think about it, I should be thankful for Abyss Schilling and my sister's scheme. Although I died once, when I woke up, I had a family surrounding me. It's much better than Xing Chen spending so much time in his room to figure out how to make small people."
The corner of Sandora's mouth twitched. "Luckily, I threw Icetis back in advance. God Father is her idol …"
My sister didn't say a word throughout the entire process. She just looked at me with her usual warm smile. Logically speaking, she should be the one feeling the most awkward at this moment. After all, it was her past life who had thrown me in front of the Abyss' shockwave. However, twenty years of living together made the awkwardness disappear. My sister knew that I wouldn't care about it, and she also knew that I didn't want her to care about it. This was a kind of tacit understanding. Under this tacit understanding, the awkwardness that made people feel distant could be completely ignored.
"Now, I have a feeling." My sister was silent for a while. Suddenly, she said thoughtfully, "I always feel that this Abyss Schilling seems to have planned everything. Ever since the Old Empire started those Project X, everything that happened seems to have her shadow in it. 70,000 years ago, she predicted that she would be split into the Total Data Network. She also thought of using the power of Void Creatures to help reduce the activity of the Abyss. She wanted to find a way to survive after being polluted. She also knew that a new 'Schilling' would be born in the Fifteenth Sky … All the things that we always thought were coincidences, why does it seem like she had planned them all?"
With my sister's reminder, Sandora and I immediately thought of more things: the survival of the Army of Vengeance, the survival of the Fifteenth Sky, the birth of the Fallen Apostle, the split between 'Schilling' and 'Abyss Schilling', my meeting with Sandora, Warren Ferd's ark …
Everything seemed to be connected!
"When the Empire collapsed, there were a lot of self-rescue plans. Basically, all the emperors who didn't die at the first moment took action to save themselves," Sandora said in a low voice with a solemn expression. "Including the collapsed document library and other actions that we don't even know about, most of the self-rescue plans failed. Currently, the self-rescue projects that were confirmed to be successful or partially successful are actually related to Abyss Schilling. The self-rescue of the Fifteenth Sky was indeed your sister's initiative back then. However, Abyss Schilling also provided a certain amount of help, so her relationship with Abyss isn't shallow. If that's the case … Ah Jun, you created the Abyss and the Fallen Apostle, and Abyss Schilling created the situation of the New Empire today … Can you believe it? "
I exclaimed, "F * ck … It's true!"
Everything was just as Sandora said. When the old Empire was about to collapse, Abyss Schilling personally set up a series of plans or assisted from the sidelines. These plans had survived to this day, and they were the foundation of the New Empire today. Meanwhile, my failed heroism 70,000 years ago was the direct reason why the Abyss and the Fallen Apostle survived to this day. So, it could be said that I was the one who created those Defilers. But now? I was the leader of the New Empire, and Abyss Schilling was the leader of the Fallen Apostle. We commanded the armies that the other party created, and we stood on the opposite side, fighting to the death. Could you find anything more dramatic than this?
Fate was like a tangled mess. We peeled away at the threads in every possible way. Finally, we unraveled this ball of thread, only to discover that everyone was holding the wrong end of the thread … But this wasn't the end!
We still hadn't fully understood Abyss Schilling's secrets. Many things that happened 70,000 years ago were still unclear. Even the information in front of us revealed a large number of secrets, but it also brought us tons of new questions. So, no one dared to say that this mess had been completely cleared up. In fact, it might even be the opposite …
I rubbed my head hard. I felt that I didn't dare to continue thinking about it. God knows how much more shocking information would be revealed if I continued to investigate the information in front of me. I was really afraid that if I continued to study for a while, a few antique databases would pop up and I would find a few messages from tens of thousands of years ago. Finally, I would suddenly find out that Xi Ling of the Abyss was my long-lost daughter. I could believe anything now!
"Speaking of which, the message also mentioned the 'other side'." Sandora didn't have as much mental pressure as I did. She was still calmly studying the message that contained a lot of information. "Now, we know that the Old Empire's Project X included the Deep Submergence Project. We also know that some of the Emperors in Heaven studied the civilizations on the other side. Abyss Schilling is a network consciousness, so she knows all the information about the entire Empire … Perhaps there isn't anyone more knowledgeable than her in the entire Void. The message mentioned a method to reduce the activity of the Abyss, and this method is related to the civilizations on the other side … It seems that some fellows who specialized in the study of the Abyss during the Old Empire's era went further on the path of 'Deep Submergence' than we expected. "
I nodded. "Back then, the Deep Submergence Expert definitely had more contact with the civilizations on the other side than we did. Unfortunately, that Deep Submergence Expert is already dead. After all, Ockham."
"But there is another person who knows as much as Ockham." Sandora glanced at me. "Abyss Schilling herself!"
