Chapter 355 The End of the Void
【The civilization you call the "Recorders" killed all the "Void Usurpers", that is, our...in your terms, our "citizens"]
【Of course, I don’t have any hatred for this. “Death” is an unfamiliar word to us, and there is no such “way of existence” in the “Void”】
【In my opinion, their disappearance is just a different form of existence, which is nothing to be sad about】
【However, for our "master", this is a major event worthy of being promoted to "hatred"】
【Because this is not only a challenge to their authority, but also hinders their energy collection process. Although there is no "interstellar society" in the universe, they are still trying to take revenge on the "recorder"】
[The planet I am on is a "trap" designed by them. They deliberately moved the planet to attract the attention of the "recorders", and at the same time set up a trap for the control center on this planet program】
【As long as the "recorders" come to check the abnormalities of this planet, then this program will mark them and report to my "master", thus attracting pursuit】
Hearing this, Li Wenyuan remembered that the "Sentinel" organization had mentioned that the "Hunter" civilization had moved a "mechanical planet".
Now it seems that the "Hunter" civilization discovered that this planet was written by the "Recorder", and tried to transform this planet into a trap to lure and kill the "Recorder".
"Perhaps the 'Hunter' has already done this when destroying many galaxies in the past...Since the entire galaxy will be destroyed, then the 'Observation Terminal' must be no exception. Maybe their enmity has been forged a long time ago?"
"After all, a civilization likes to leave an 'observatory' to observe silently, while a civilization will even blow up the galaxy itself for you. It is normal to have no observations, and the situation is like fire and water."
"So, it's going to be an 'old feud'?"
Because the confrontation between "Recorder" and "Hunter" is too déjà vu, Li Wenyuan almost immediately remembered the "Battle of Heaven" that took place in the Milky Way.
The protagonists of the "Battle of Heaven" are the "Watcher" and the former "Farwalker", two lost civilizations with opposing trends of thought.
The two civilizations became old enemies because of the hatred handed down from ancient times, and broke out one day, setting off a war that spread throughout the galaxy.
The reason for this is "ancient hatred" and "an ancient enemy".
Now there seems to be some kind of feud between "Recorder" and "Hunter", what happened looks like a "Battle of Heaven" on the cosmic battlefield, but this time no civilization was asked to "choose sides" , because these two civilizations are capable of erasing an entire galaxy group at will.
They don't need "pawns", ordinary civilizations don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder.
But even with many differences, this collision of two ancient civilizations is still reminiscent of the "Battle of Heaven" that also took place in the galaxy.
If the previous war between "Watcher" and "Far Traveler" was the confrontation between "materialism" and "idealism", then the war between "Recorder" and "Hunter" as we know it now is like the war between "foreigners" and " xenophobic" opposition.
Of course, the "foreign-friendly" and "xenophobic" here are somewhat distorted. The "recorder" regards all civilizations as "observation objects" equally, and does not favor anyone or despise anyone, and even leaves things like " "variable terminal" to promote the growth of civilization in a disguised form; but once there is a problem with the "observation object", they will mercilessly "restart the experiment"
The "hunters" will not have any moral and ethical pressure to destroy all civilizations except them, but for certain purposes, they will train their own "servants" to help them better carry out their careers.
“…Is this also designed? Or does it mean that after the development of civilization to the end, there will inevitably be opponents on the road?”
Li Wenyuan thought a lot, and quickly suppressed these thoughts. At present, everything that happens in the galaxy can find corresponding similarities outside the galaxy.
After that, "Void Lord" continued:
【But this is all in the past, in fact, I have lost contact with the "masters"】
[There used to be a pulse of fixed frequency transmitted here at regular intervals, exerting a specific influence on us who are still in the "egg" state, which helps to control us, but this pulse has been absent for a long time Appeared]
【As for our incubation, logically speaking, they should be present, but so far I have not seen any individual "hunters", and I have not even felt their breath】
【Can I understand that they have disappeared? 】
The last sentence of "Underlord of the Void" is a question, perhaps the biggest confusion for it is not being controlled, and Li Wenyuan is not sure about the answer to this question.
"Based on what we know so far, the 'Hunter' may have been trapped somewhere, but it is also possible that he lost his trace because of some reason."
"Of course I prefer them to be trapped, because it is not easy to destroy such a civilization, maybe even their enemy 'Recorder' can't do it."
【So that’s the case, then they must not have disappeared...】
"Void Lord" also seems to feel that "Hunter" has not perished.
【They are a group of crazy people, even if they are destroyed, they will never be silent, maybe they are indeed trapped somewhere...】
After the signal sounded like he was talking to himself, "Void Lord" fell into a brief silence, and then made an unexpected move.
It is attached to the "observation terminal", and it can be said that the flesh that is integrated with the machine begins to separate. The circuit that was originally buried in the flesh and blood is stripped out, and a lot of sparks are emitted.
It stands to reason that the fusion connection of "Void Lord" will bind it to the fate of the planet, and its death will inevitably be accompanied by the death of the planetary machinery, because most of the lines in it have been completely "flesh and blood". ", instead of the original line to undertake the work.
What it is doing now looks like it is committing suicide, but those circuits with a lot of sparks quickly returned to the place where they should be, and the damaged parts are gradually closed under the cover of some kind of biological cells, and soon A biological circuit was soon formed, continuing to maintain the normal operation of the planetary machinery.
And it itself became a piece of shrinking "soft slime", wriggling and advancing on the surface of the "observation terminal", until it gathered into a meat ball in the control center.
The "far traveler" who was still thinking about how to separate the "Void Lord" from the "observation terminal" was stunned by this scene. They didn't expect it to break away from this "flesh and blood connection" Those parts damaged by fusion were mended with its flesh.
This process made it lose at least half of its body, and the "Void Lord" who had been "separated" also seemed a little sluggish.
Even Li Wenyuan was a little puzzled about what it was doing, and the "Void Lord" explained after a pause:
【I think you should need this planet, or maybe you came to find this planet in the first place? 】
【Although I have merged with the planet, it does not mean that I can control this planet. This planet is essentially the creation of the "recorder"】
【Before I possessed wisdom, I was instinctively attracted to this planet and merged with it. Wisdom was born with the help of the "control center" here】
["Hunters" can't have the opportunity to give us the birth of wisdom, but after connecting with this planet, I understand that this is done by "Recorders". The "observation terminal" has been tampered with, the purpose is to let "us" merge with this kind of machine one day, and the "hunter" did not find this abnormality]
【This may also be one of the experiments of the "Recorders". They want to test the compatibility of the "Void" to get something from the "Void", or simply want to add obstacles to the "Hunter"]
【But my departure has nothing to do with these things, but to keep this interest from being affected, because the "Void" is coming to an end】
