Bryndis was a person who could not stay idle, especially when there were many acquaintances on the scene. It was basically impossible for her to stay in one place. After harassing a few "juniors", she ran to talk to Fina, and then pulled Belavera, who was passing by, over. Now this guy was talking about his heroic deeds in the past. Fina and Belavera had different expressions on their faces. The latter did not know whether to laugh or cry, while the former tilted her head in confusion and blinked occasionally. Fina was introverted and restrained, and usually did not communicate with others. Obviously, she could not react to Bryndis's current state.
When I leaned over, Bing was talking about her most glorious achievement (of course, she said it herself. She had thousands of similar "most glorious achievements"). This female gangster was almost standing on the chair, "… I was high-spirited back then. Do you know? I was high-spirited. Not only did I graduate across disciplines, but I also had my own research results across disciplines. I was a legend back then. I was known as the genius of the Dark Protoss, although I was forced to do so by over two hundred teachers. The first time I went to the local temple to submit a research paper, I was quite nervous. At that time, I was really a little girl who didn't know anything. I even listened to my mother and wore a rustic academic robe. However, once the thesis defense began, I wasn't afraid of anything. You know that I am a very assertive and proactive person in my academic style. As long as it is my own field, I won't bite my tongue even if I scold my father. The most intense part of the dissertation was the final rebuttal stage. An old fogey asked me to explain why my research method was different from others. He felt that this kind of research method that omitted too many steps wasn't rigorous … "
Fina was quite honest. She followed Icetis's meaning and asked, "How did you answer?"
"Hmph, with my academic style, how else could I answer?" Icetis waved her hand, "I threw such a huge book at him and told him, 'F * ck your mother. Write the supervisor's name at the end of every section. How could it be rigorous?'"
I was stunned as I listened from behind. Even Fina, who was usually indifferent, was surprised, "That's so bold. What happened next?"
Icetis waved her hand, "I didn't beat up the security of the venue, so I was warned and sentenced to fifteen days of confinement."
I suddenly feel that trying to console this almost heartless female hoodlum is a huge mistake, it might even be a mistake in my worldview. However, since I have already come this far, I can only mutter, "I don't see any effect of confinement on you, your temper is still the same."
Icetis turned to look at me, "Who said it didn't work? I learned my lesson and will be more prudent in the future. I can't fight with people in the venue. I will wait until the dissertation is over before I go to the back door of the temple to put gunny sacks on them …"
I broke out in cold sweat. Was the reason why she hadn't been beaten to death until now. was because she was because she was lucky or because the scholars in the God knows Realm? The latter was unlikely. After all, Sis Bing was almost a special alloy level tomboy. She couldn't even be considered a 'girl' …
In the end, Icetis was quite proud of this question, "Of course, it's because my research has always been very accurate. If I wasn't 100% confident, I wouldn't go up and embarrass myself. I have failed less than three times in this aspect in my life. Most of the time, it was because I didn't sign my name for the supervisor. There is no doubt about my academic spirit."
I glanced at her, "Isn't it normal to write the supervisor's name at the end of the thesis?"
"Get lost. I have over two hundred supervisors. Half of them are from old families with special names. Writing their names is longer than the thesis."
I was speechless. I had almost forgotten about that.
"Oh yeah, what's the matter?" Icetis seemed to have just come back to her senses. She turned to look at me curiously, "Weren't you researching how to prevent and control the end of the world with a few fellows?"
"I finished my research." I nodded at Kenser's table. "I wanted to chat with you for a while. It seems like you are quite lively now."
"Is this an invitation?" Icetis squinted her eyes and looked at me for a while. She suddenly stood up, "Then let's go. It's boring to stay here for too long. I've had enough of watching those two stupid ravens blow things up."
Just as she was about to stand up and walk to the door, she seemed to recall something and turned to look at Liliana, who was defrosting from the ice cube. "Little girl, if we come back late, you should go home directly. Tell Sandora that her best friend eloped with her husband …"
Liliana cooperated. She shook off the ice on her body and expressed her sincerity, "Don't worry. I will say that Boss seduced her."
I smiled at Liliana, "Come here. I promise I won't kill you. However, I will be prepared to kill you …"
Liliana made a funny face at me. Then, she scuttled behind the counter to find the raven that had frozen her earlier for a duel.
Icetis and I left Silvia's Dim Sum House. We walked aimlessly along the small path outside the military zone. This place was indeed close to the military zone. Even though the small path didn't prohibit civilians from entering, there was almost no one walking around. The surroundings were so quiet that it was like a deserted area. I was deliberating on how to speak so that I wouldn't be slapped in the face by the female pervert next to me. Icetis was the first to lose her patience, "Hey, are we just going to continue walking like this? If we continue walking like this, it will be like a date. Shallow Shallow and the rest will definitely be prepared to kill you. Of course, Sandora will also kill me along the way. "
I heaved a sigh of relief. I felt that I might have become emotional due to the Void Cataclysm. I actually wanted to help the female pervert, Icetis. However, since we were out, there was nothing that we couldn't talk about. So, I told her the truth, "You seemed a little sad when you saw Kensel and Lynn's Pope?"
"Aha," Bryndis looked up to the sky and laughed. There was a smile in her voice that couldn't be hidden, "You don't think that I'm that kind of sad little girl, do you? My mentality is better than yours. What are you worrying about? "
I spread my hands, "That's why I regretted coming out just now. My worldview is so normal. I don't think I will be able to enlighten you."
Icetis stared at me blankly for a while. Then, she suddenly convulsed in laughter, "Damn, you are still as fun as before. Haha … Suddenly, you become hot-blooded and act like a savior. You want to save everyone …"
I watched from the side with a stupefied expression. When Icetis finally calmed down, I pouted and muttered, "I was shocked by you just now. You are such a heartless person. You suddenly said that you miss your children. I almost overlapped you with Sister Xianglin, okay?"
If it was someone else who sighed like that, I might not have taken it to heart. However, since it was Icetis who sighed, I couldn't help but take it to heart. This female pervert's mind had always been as solid as steel. Even after being sealed for tens of millions of years, she had never been confused for more than ten minutes. However, when such a person suddenly sighed and said, "I just miss the children from back then", it was enough to shock me. A little girl squatting by the roadside crying and a 1.98-meter muscular man squatting by the roadside crying, there was a world of difference in the number of reposts on Weibo … Speaking of which, why did all the metaphors related to Icetis eventually return to the topic of "man"?
"Miss children …" Icetis smacked her lips with a weird expression, "Why does any normal topic become so weird when it comes out of your mouth? However, you are right. Thinking about those fellows from back then … I do feel a little emotional. "
I thought about the lifespan of a mortal, the lifespan of a mortal civilization, and the time when Icetis was sealed. "They should all be dead. Those believers of the Pope who were closest to you have died in battle. As for those believers who weren't with you, even if they could reproduce and develop to this day, they probably wouldn't recognize you."
"Indeed, I don't know them." Bryndis sighed. "I ruled many worlds back then, and there were dozens of civilizations that believed in me. I did another screening not long ago and found that there were indeed some that survived to this day … But to be honest, you also know that the development trajectory of most civilizations is brainless. The few that survived have long been the same, but the people have long changed. There was a race whose soul still had the blessing imprint that I had left behind back then. However, their entire civilization had already been wiped out three times. Now that they had just returned to the feudal era, even the planet they lived on had changed. Their faith from back then had long collapsed. Tsk tsk, I can't blame them. No one cared about them for tens of millions of years. It was my fault. "
"Nothing was left?" I felt that such a thing was unacceptable, so I couldn't help but ask.
Icetis thought for a while, and a relieved smile suddenly blossomed on her face. "Actually, I did rebuild a little … Didn't I tell you before? I still have believers. Although I had to start from scratch to gather them in the past two years, I'll just take it as a form of consolation. I'll protect these descendants and give an explanation to those bastards who risked their lives for me back then. This concubine has never owed anyone anything. "
As time passed, things remained the same, but people changed. Such a topic would always make one's heart heavy. However, Icetis lived up to her masculine nature. The speed at which she adjusted her emotions was almost as fast as the speed at which Shallow Shallow changed her train of thought. After getting over the matter in a few sentences, Icetis looked at me cheerfully. "Speaking of which, you didn't think of consoling me in this aspect for so many years. Did you suddenly become enlightened today?"
"How could I have thought so much in the past few years? Back then, I still didn't understand what it meant to be a long-lived species," I confessed honestly. "And to be honest, the Void Cataclysm was really stressful. I called you out because I wanted you to relax, and also … I wanted to divert my attention."
"Divert my attention?" Icetis looked at me strangely. "That's true. You will only be more stressed if you are with that lass, Liliana. You will have to worry about the end of the world and take care of your child at the same time. But why does being with me help you to reduce stress? In theory, isn't it easier to feel stressed when you are with the opposite sex? This is what I saw on the internet two days ago … "
I blurted out, "I saw that you are a real man …"
When we reached home, Sandora was highly concerned about my bird 's-nest hairstyle and my charred body. When she found out that I had been chased by a female pervert with lightning for two hours because I had spoken rudely, she could only shake her head and sigh. "Sigh, why did you provoke a deep well ice?"
Just like that, the days slowly progressed peacefully. At least, they seemed to be progressing peacefully. The Void Cataclysm was still a shadow that had just revealed itself. We only knew that it was gradually approaching all the worlds of Order at a speed that no one could grasp. However, we were still unable to determine any data related to it. The Abyss was very quiet. The God Realm was very quiet. Of course, the worlds within the Empire were also very quiet. It seemed that other than the recent collective downtime of the Protoss management system, nothing else had happened that made us feel uneasy.
In these few days, I had the researchers focus on the data that Uncle Kenser had submitted. I also invited Will and Queena to stay in the City of Shadows for a few more days so that they could cooperate with the research center's series of projects. Because the Empire also had to examine the many worlds in the Empire region to determine whether the Pantheon's conclusions were correct or not, these experiments had already taken about four days and had yet to end today.
Will and Queena appeared to be old and slow, while the other appeared to be young and impetuous. However, their actual temperaments were definitely in line with their status. Thus, when faced with such a seemingly sensitive project, they cautiously sought their God's opinion. After obtaining his approval, they obediently cooperated and submitted all the data that they had observed to the Empire's research center. Although the data belonged to the Protoss, it was not considered confidential. There was absolutely no need to report it to the Pantheon.
Because the Empire's research center needed to use data in a form that was somewhat different from the Protoss's recording method, the entire research process required the assistance of the data editors and the data recorder.
The research center had almost reached the final conclusion, and now they were only doing some finishing touches. They had examined the Worldheart of the various universes in the Empire, and the results were as expected, but also slightly unsettling: the Pantheon's conclusion was unmistakable. A certain 'factor' that did not distinguish quadrants, had no delay, and yet did exist was slowly affecting all the worlds of Order in the entire Void. The main form of influence was to reduce the stability of the Worldheart and cause it to show signs of self-disintegration.
There was no clear evidence to prove that this was the Void Cataclysm, but as far as we knew, the only thing that could have such an effect was the Void Cataclysm. If there were additional incidents outside of the Void Cataclysm, it would really be a death sentence.
At present, these effects were still negligible. In Sandora's words, it was "adding one more point to Jingle's report card." Even adding a few points to Jingle's report card would not be enough. The changes in the World Core would not affect the stability of the worlds of Order. The fault tolerance of the universe itself was enough to correct these errors. It could be said that they were only a small omen before the Void Cataclysm. Although they were related to the real cataclysm, they were far from troublesome.
As for some worlds under the rule of the Protoss that would affect the mortal Order, it was actually not because of the harm of these "omens", but because of a more awkward reason: the protective mechanism of the world management system was overreacting when faced with the erosion of the source. The remedial measures exceeded the degree of harm. The cause of this overreaction was unknown, but it might have something to do with the system's architecture …
Yep, this was a situation that made one not know whether to laugh or cry. Uncle Kenser felt that the programmers in the God Realm were going to suffer from insomnia again …
However, I didn't pay much attention to these research matters for the time being. After all, I wouldn't be of much help. It was fine as long as I could hear the final results. As for the process, there would naturally be experts to take care of it. Right now, I was only curious about one thing.
Why wasn't Xing Chen here yet? It had already been several days.
Icetis had already gone to the God Realm several days ago to tell God Father the news that Abyssal Schilling had brought. Now, even if God Father had to tell this news to the Huron God Realm, the Huron God King would have to rush over from his own God Realm, and the two of them would have a short meeting in the God Realm, the two of them should have rushed over by now. After all, the information that Abyssal Schilling had brought was enough to make all three God Factions tremble for half a day. I believed that even if the expedition to the Void Cataclysm was right around the corner, God Father would put aside everything else and deal with it first.
After all, if the expedition was delayed, it would at most be a portion of the worlds of Order that would be harmed. On the other hand, if the Void Cataclysm wasn't dealt with seriously, it would lead to the destruction of all worlds. It was obvious which was more important.
However, after so many days had passed, apart from the God Realm occasionally sending over some information that the God Realm needed to cooperate with the research institute to show that they were actively working on it, there had been no personal news regarding God Father.
Due to his personality, when God Father came to visit, he wouldn't announce news a few days in advance and prepare for the welcoming ceremony like other "important figures" would. He loved to visit suddenly, which was why I didn't feel too strange when I didn't receive any news of him coming over the past few days. I just assumed that he had something to deal with and would come over once he was done. However, as the days passed without any news from him, even Sandora felt that something was wrong.
"God Father wouldn't be so forgetful as to forget about the Void Cataclysm, right?" One day, after dinner, Sandora suddenly muttered.
Her words made the rest of the family who had almost forgotten about "inviting God Father to the meeting" also remembered it. The dining room suddenly became quiet — except for the group of figurine Crow Gods who were lying next to a cabbage and chewing on the leaves.
I furrowed my eyebrows. "Could it be because of his concept of time …"
"That's impossible." Before I could finish, Icetis interrupted. "He wouldn't forget about such things. It's not like the Protoss would procrastinate on anything … I'll go to the Grand Temple later and send another urgent message to God Father."
"Okay." I simply agreed. I didn't know why, but I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart. It wasn't that I sensed some impending danger or anything like that. Instead, I felt that God Father had been delayed for the past few days because something had happened in the God Realm, or perhaps God Father himself had met with some problems … This feeling was completely random, but considering that Void creatures did indeed seem to have a sense of kinship, I felt that everything was truly complicated.
