"We have this." Tawil placed a small silver-white metal pillar on the table. "Origin energy ore."
"Oh, I almost forgot." God Father was the first to react. He looked at the metal pillar in front of him with interest. Then, he looked at me with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "This is the first product that was blessed by you. This item's magical properties should come in handy. No matter if it's Holy Light, Psionic Energy or even Huron's Power of Truth, they are all products of the Void's first decay into an energy state. The origin energy ore seems to be able to consume all energy that is ranked second in the Void Stairway and below. "
"Origin energy ore? What's that? " It was Hilla's first time seeing such an item. Of course, she couldn't help but be curious. She leaned half of her body over the table and took the metal pillar from Tawil's hands. "Oh? There seems to be Little Brother's aura on it. The microscopic structure doesn't conform to the laws of the mortal world … Extraordinary matter, a product bestowed by God? "
I took the opportunity to explain the attributes of the energy ore and also the process of its creation. Even though I still felt that it was ridiculous for a pile of rocks to turn into a supernatural substance because of me, but when faced with the information disturbance of the Void Creatures, I could only say that it was normal for it to happen. After all, those who stay close to me tend to lose their moral integrity.
Hilla revealed a bright and caring smile. She tapped the metal pillar on the table lightly and said with satisfaction, "Aiya, looks like Little Brother has finally grown up. This is the characteristic of an adult …"
I broke out in a cold sweat. How could this sister say such a normal thing in such an abnormal tone?
"The information disturbance of the Void Creature will produce something that is unique and 'subjective'. Sometimes, it will appear as a special energy. Other times, it will appear as a substance. The Star Gold Rock and a rare gem in the God Realm are like that." God Father smiled warmly. "This kind of influence is produced subconsciously. However, the things that are produced are usually very useful. This can be used to create energy conversion components for deep diving equipment. It can also be used as the main material for some other key equipment. The Star Gold Rock is very sturdy and has a high resistance against energy damage. It can be used on the outer shell of equipment and the protective shield at key areas. Hilla, aren't you going to take out something good? "
I looked at the God King expectantly. Since Father God and I had created our own "Extraordinary Substance", then this veteran Void Creature would definitely have some treasures that he could bring out. Regardless of whether it would be useful for diving equipment or not, it would at least be able to satisfy the curiosity of others.
Sister Hilla did not refuse. She quickly conjured a thin piece of light purple crystal out of thin air. This was the "extraordinary substance" of the Huron Gods. I recalled the crystal prism that Hilla used to store her information. I also noticed that she had two small crystal earrings on her ears. It seemed that the Huron Divine System favored crystals more?
"What's the point of this? Can it be used in deep diving equipment? " I caught the thin piece of crystal that he tossed at me and examined it. Then, I tried to send my mental power into it, but there was no reaction. I tried to pour my energy into it, but there was no reaction.
"You can try to use it on data storage or communication equipment?" Hilla curled her fingers to support her chin. She said in an uncertain tone, "Anyway, that's what my children use. However, I don't know the theory behind your 'spaceship', so I'm not sure if it will work. This kind of crystal has a high degree of stability. It is extremely inert towards all external influences. Furthermore, it can slowly recover after suffering a certain amount of damage. Only by stimulating it with a special frequency of energy will it be able to leave a stable record within it. If you use this to create a storage or communication equipment, it should be much more stable than your current equipment. Of course, the prerequisite is that your source energy mine is really useful. Psionic energy, holy light, and shadow energy are all useless against this thing. It's lazy. "
I glanced at Big Sis and thought to myself, "This sister's' inertia 'is probably concentrated in this kind of crystal. Is that why she's so active?"
"Look, it's so efficient when we work together," Halland finally spoke. He had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be very happy. "In just a short while, we've already solved a few problems. We've even found the direction to improve the materials for the new spaceship. Tawil, record it down and use these samples to make a small model. Let's see if the source energy mine can connect them together … Oh right, does this purple crystal have a name? "
Sis Hilla fiddled with her ponytail. "In the past, the children named it the Holy Core. Later on, they called it the Crystal of Grace. I thought it was too cocky, so I called it the Crystal of Truth. It's easy to understand and fits our energy system."
I couldn't help but recall the flashy names that the source energy mine had when it first appeared. Something like Royal Blood Ore or Royal Blood Stone. It seemed that no matter where it was, when the boss came up with an extraordinary material, there would always be a few people who wanted to see the world in chaos coming up with a bunch of flashy names. And the end result was almost the same. The flashy names would eventually return to their original state … The words' Crystal of Truth 'were pretty good.
At that moment, I noticed that Abyssal Schilling hadn't said a word. She was just staring at the metal rod on the table that was made from the purified source energy mine. I asked her curiously, "What's wrong? Do you have any suggestions for the material of the spaceship? "
"No." Abyssal Schilling shook her head. Her voice sounded a little resentful. "It's just that I finally know how you guys created this thing that you tricked me so many times …"
"… Cough, cough. There's no need to think about the details …"
The New Empire had always been weaker than the Abyss in terms of overall power. However, ever since the source energy mine became widely used, all sorts of new weapons began appearing one after another. For example, the miniaturized disassembly effect generator and the perfect "Tech-Magic Hybrid" battleship. Although these weapons didn't have decisive power, they still dealt a lot of damage to the Fallen Apostles when they won by surprise. Since no one had ever thought about defending against these new weapons, every time a new weapon appeared, the frontlines would welcome a series of victories …
The victories for the New Empire definitely weren't as good for Abyssal Schilling.
Abyssal Schilling was no fool. She definitely tried to research how the New Empire's various strange equipment was created. However, she had never successfully obtained a single sample of the Shiring Apostles' excellent tradition of "self-destructing". Now that the source energy mine was placed on the table, it was only natural that she immediately understood what was going on with her analytical abilities.
From the looks of it, this former Abyss boss had quite a lot of resentment.
I hurriedly coughed twice to change the topic. I refocused the discussion on the joint production of deep submergence equipment. The others present also actively expressed their opinions. Soon, everyone came up with a preliminary plan for the four parties to cooperate on the production of deep submergence equipment.
"We will start construction of the new facility near the largest deep submergence harbor in the Empire. The first phase will be an expansion project. After that, we will wait for your respective personnel and equipment to arrive before we start the detailed design for the second phase." Sandora looked around the room. "When will the personnel and resources from Huron arrive?"
"Actually, I was already making preparations before I left." Hilla nodded. "When I spoke to Xingchen earlier, I roughly understood your needs. The personnel and resources have already been allocated. However, it will be very troublesome to transport large amounts of items from Huron here. It won't be the same as me running around alone … That's why I still need Xingchen's help."
This time, God Father had a serious expression on his face. Naturally, he couldn't continue to shirk his responsibility. He could only helplessly wave his hand. "Alright, I will go with you in two days … Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I visited your place as a guest."
"Then, the Abyss region will also need to get the equipment and facilities in place." I followed up on Sandora's words. At the same time, I glanced at Abyss Schilling. "Back then, you promised to provide full support for the technical equipment and personnel. How do you intend to transport them over?"
"Isn't that simple? Since the Abyss region is already connected to the New Empire, we can discuss a jump key and 'airdrop' it directly into your territory through the World Gate. Oh right, you can send anyone to monitor the entire process. I'm guessing that there are definitely people among you who are vigilant against the Abyss region. With such a large amount of personnel and resources, everyone will be reassured after a few checks. "
I frowned. "The new army won't cause trouble? They seem to have already taken control of the border … "
"Do you think I will decline to that extent?" Abyss Schilling looked at me with a faint smile. "There are still universes that I control on the border, and a few of them happen to be connected to the 'New Frontier' that you have just established. When the time comes, as long as you and I agree on the jump key, the World Gate will be connected, and the transport fleets from the Abyss region will be unimpeded. I really have to thank you for the 'border' operation. As for the new army … They will definitely not settle down. That was the most extreme side of me back then, so they will definitely find a way to cause trouble. But you don't have to worry about that. I still have a lot of troops on hand. "
I looked at Abyss Schilling with a straight face. Once again, I saw the wisdom and cunning in her eyes.
Even the split between the new army and the old army was the result of her calculations. She was a terrifying person who would take everything into consideration. Even if it was her own death or the enemy's victory, it could very well be an insignificant part of her new scheme. To be honest, it was indeed a good thing not to be enemies with such a person.
Sandora seemed to be deep in thought. "Wait, if that's the case … My redrawing of the borders and directly connecting the New Empire and the Abyss region was also within your expectations? Back then, you were the one who suggested that we retreat after conquering those universes. Then, the New Empire rebuilt the fortress and drew the Xinjiang border without any interference. That was all arranged by you, because you knew that the two sides would definitely cooperate. So, you laid the foundation in advance for the important transportation routes that we will use in the future? "
Abyss Schilling flashed a cunning smile. She blinked and said, "Who knows?"
I spread my arms and looked at the sky helplessly. "That's why I don't really like dealing with you. You're too good at calculating people. Everything in the world is data that you use to calculate, including your own life and death."
Seeing that the briefing had ended, Tawil got up and bid farewell to everyone present. Sandora and Halland also said that they would be preparing for the joint laboratory and left the hall. Soon, only three Void creatures and a collective consciousness were left. Godfather looked at Abyss Schilling and then at the others around him. He suddenly smiled with emotion. "I never thought that I would meet the ruler of the Abyss under such circumstances."
Before this, Godfather and Abyss Schilling had started discussing business the moment they met and did not have the time to express his emotions. Now that the things that needed to be discussed had been settled, Godfather began to express his opinion on the wondrous situation before him.
"I didn't expect it either." Abyss Schilling looked at what could possibly be the oldest creature in the Void. Her eyes rolled around, and no one knew what she was thinking. "In the early days of the Great Cause, I never thought of working with you people. After all, this project was too rebellious at first, and it was hard to be sure that you people would not disregard everything and unite to destroy the Abyss after knowing what I was about to do … My understanding of the hearts of people in the real world is still too one-sided. So, as the wisest elder in the Void, what do you think of me? "
Godfather looked at the woman before him quietly, and only spoke after half a minute. "It's a little beyond my expectations. The grandeur of your plan is beyond everyone's imagination. I must admit that the long passage of time and the innate laziness has shackled the hearts of us Void creatures. It has also weakened our motivation to search for the truth. I never thought that the greatest secret of the Void would be discovered by you — a young, flawed collective consciousness. Logically speaking, exploring the truth of the Void should be our profession. "
Hilla's words were much more straightforward. She grumbled a little unwillingly, "We don't even understand our own situation."
"Regardless, your current actions will save all of the Realms of Order, so I'm happy to cooperate. I believe Hilla is the same." Godfather glanced at Hilla, and then turned to Abyss Schilling with a serious expression. "But I've also learned about your thought process from Chen. You're an unscrupulous individual, and for the sake of the Empire's survival and growth, you'll use everything as a bargaining chip regardless of the cost, including not only the Realms of Order, but also yourself. This is a dangerous mode of action, and with your Empire in conflict with the Realms of Order, you're a huge hidden danger … You know what I mean."
"Will you eliminate me after the bridge is built?" Abyss Schilling asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"Of course not, but I hope you can understand …" Godfather still had that unchanging warm smile on his face, and his voice was calm and a little slow. However, an indescribable … atmosphere suddenly filled the air around him. I didn't know if it was an aura or pressure, but I clearly didn't feel any pressure at all, but an irresistible and unquestionable feeling instantly spread. It was as if you were looking at a clear spring, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but deep in your heart, you felt that this spring was impossible to resist. It was such a strange atmosphere that spread wantonly. I looked at the gentle and friendly big brother next door in astonishment. This was the first time I felt his "power"!
"I hope you can understand … We're cooperating now because you're harmless, because you're saving the Realms of Order, and because of your 'good deeds.' But if you destroy the Order, slaughter the innocent, and subvert the Void for any other reason after the bridge is built, then the three of us, as well as other Void creatures that might exist, have no reason to sit back and watch. At the very least, I will declare war on you in the name of the Void, on the behalf of all the victims, and you will be crushed by everything. "
"Oh, how long has it been since you made such a declaration?" Hilla glanced at Xing Chen in surprise.
Abyss Schilling's expression changed slightly. This guy who had always been extremely calm actually had a slight change in expression. "Declaration of the Will of Origin? An established fact? "
"That's right, this is the second declaration of the Will of Origin in twelve trillion years." Godfather nodded. "A few days ago, after learning about your behavior and your entire plan for the 'great cause,' I felt that you needed such a declaration in order to control yourself."
Abyss Schilling shrugged. "I've only heard of it before, but I never thought that it would happen to me … Alright, I'm deeply honored."
I was still a little confused. "Can someone explain to me what that was? Second Brother, did you use your ultimate move? "
"Err … I don't think I've grasped such power yet." Sister Hilla held her head as she felt a slight headache, but after a moment of hesitation, she still explained, "You know that Void creatures represent the source of all things, right?"
I nodded.
"That was a 'declaration' issued by the Void creatures in the name of the Will of Origin. After it is issued, it will become an established fact. As long as the Void still exists, it will definitely come to pass on time, according to the requirements. If the declared target triggers a specific condition, he or she will immediately be attacked by the entire Void. From the Void Stairway down, everything, be it matter matter, energy, space, time, past, future, real or fake, even existence or non-existence, everything will become the enemy. You know that everything, even 'everything' other than 'everything', is born from the Void. That's why this declaration is indestructible … "
Before Hilla could finish, Abyss Schilling took the initiative to continue. "If I trigger the condition, then everything under the Void will become my enemy, including myself, including my own will, and even including every elementary particle and every flickering thought in the Abyss. And most importantly, the declaration is a 'established fact'. No matter how you resist, it will definitely come to pass. As long as the Void still exists, it will definitely come to pass … This is really unexpected. I never thought that I would actually be declared. I always thought that it was just a legend. "
I looked at Father God in shock, and finally realized how terrifying this seemingly harmless Second Brother next door was. In order to protect the world of Order, he dared to do anything and was capable of doing anything!
But perhaps because I was also a Void creature, I had an innate immunity to such a terrifying "declaration". Very quickly, I recovered from my shock and thought about something else. "Speaking of which, why don't you use such a powerful item more often? Especially in such a complicated situation, Xing Chen, wouldn't you be able to wipe out the new army of the Abyss with just a declaration? "
Before Father God said anything, Hilla smacked me on the head. "What are you thinking about? Do you think that such an ultimate move would be harmless!? "
I: "?"
"When the declaration is fulfilled, it will activate all the worlds of Order, even the Abyss," Father God explained calmly. "No matter who the enemy is, the declaration itself will first cause a huge upheaval in the entire Void, so those who aren't qualified won't even have the right to be declared. I'm still worried that the children will suffer. Only the Abyss Xi Ling, her current strength is still incomparable to the dangerous opponent that I declared to her back then, but her potential threat … In any case, after the bridge is successfully built, she and her army will become an almost invincible life form. At that time, only Void Creatures like you and I will have the ability to completely control them. We must take responsibility. "
