Deep space observations continued, and the golden world points in the Void Model continued to increase, but the energy reserves of the Holy Mountain Fortress and the Void Observatory were somewhat insufficient in the continuous observation of the wider range.

As the magic runes on the surface of the Void Observatory glowing with a faint blue light turned red to represent 'crisis', the outer circle of the Holy Mountain Fortress to resist the turbulence of the surrounding space-time and space also dimmed, and at this time, the huge deep space observation circle almost extended to its limit, enveloping an entire world galaxy in its arms, and replicating its model reflection in the center.

Although there are other galaxies beyond the galaxy, they are not something that the current Mycrof civilization can detect.

There is no doubt that the results of this observation are extremely successful, the three major forces have joined forces to directly scan the world galaxy where the Mycrof world is located, and as the sentinel array located in the outer layer of the Mycrof world will integrate the information, they can even directly know whether there is a life reaction in any of the worlds - the ordinary golden light point is the inanimate world, and if the light point has obvious red light patterns on the periphery, it means that there is life in it.

However, the subsequent observations made all the researchers present frown, and then a chill ran in their hearts.

"Impossible!"

In the Void Observatory, Tamara Moore, the vice president of the Royal Mages Guild and who came in place of Nostradamus, subconsciously plucked one of his beards after seeing the observation results, but he didn't have time to lament his increasingly scarce beard, but instead opened his eyes wide and whispered angrily: "How come? How can it be so little?! ”

Except for him, none of the mages in the Void Observatory made a sound, and they all fell into a dead silence, and on the other side of the void, in the Holy Mountain Fortress, many priests stared blankly at the flickering void model in the light curtain in front of them, and then suspected that they might have seen something wrong.

But they read it right, and that's exactly what it is.

In the galaxy of the world, except for the surroundings of Microf, there is hardly a life world.

The huge void model rotated in front of everyone's eyes, and millions or more worlds of light were densely arranged in the shape of a galaxy, but among these worlds, there were very few worlds with life reactions, and even if there were, it was only a faint red vein, that is, 'an environment where life may exist'.

Except for the bright red light that flashed in the McCrove world, the other worlds shone with dazzling golden light, but this golden light did not give everyone a warm feeling, but made people feel inexplicably cold, because even in the abyss on the other side of the galaxy of the world, there were more flickering red lights than in the galaxy.

“…… Ridiculous, in the normal multiverse, there are fewer lives than in the abyss as a graveyard? ”

"What a joke!"

This was the indignant speech of a certain Holy Mountain priest when he was talking to himself, but no matter how small the voice was, it could not hide it from the two legendary powerhouses present.

Holy Mountain Fortress, the central main control room, Pope Eagle looked at the light curtain in front of him with a solemn face, he originally planned to communicate with Joshua about the Void Vortex, but now, his attention was diverted by the results of this deep space observation.

"So little? Fantastic...... Obviously, you have encountered several intelligent civilizations around the world of Kronos. ”

The old pope seemed to have doubts about this result, he frowned, and said to Joshua beside him, "I still remember the last time you reported on those alien civilizations with the ability to travel through the void...... Originally, I thought there were a lot of them, but there were only a few, but did they happen to run into them? ”

"Your Majesty, the world of Chronos is located in more than five hundred layers of the abyss, and the reason why those civilizations went there was for the creation power of the ancient dragon."

Although Joshua was also a little puzzled by this observation, he didn't think there was anything strange about the 'empty and unmanned' universe model from the interstellar era, so he replied calmly: "Civilizations that need the power of creation mean that their world is almost the same as the abyss, or rather, they are abyssal civilizations that have not yet degenerated into 'demons', and they are not in the world galaxy at all. ”

"Really...... I really didn't expect the multiverse to be so empty......"

Iger's expression was slightly disappointed, but after a moment, the old Pope sighed, and then announced to everyone present that the deep space observation operation had been successfully completed, and reiterated that the Void Model was a Class A secret, and it was not to be disclosed to the outside world without permission. He sent away the other high-ranking clergy beside him who looked a little dazed, and reassured them, encouraging them to continue their struggle and not worry too much about the observation.

Eventually, Eagle, who had almost done everything, motioned for Joshua to follow him, and the warrior followed him to a modest little room in the fortress of the Holy Mountain.

"This was originally a storage room, but then it was vacant because there were not so many supplies to stock...... The space of the Void Battleship is small, and life is relatively difficult, I hope you, the great nobleman of the Empire, don't care. ”

The old pope personally carried a chair for Joshua, and Joshua patted the ash on it casually after thanking him, and the two sat down opposite each other in the room without any fancy - it was only then that Eagle showed a tired look, and he said with a wry smile: "Alas, although I did not really hold this deep space observation mission to find traces of the existence of other intelligent civilizations, this result was also unexpected. ”

Hundreds of millions of worlds, but there are only no more than fifty points of light with obvious life reactions, and perhaps half of them are pure savage planes, rather than worlds with intelligent civilizations...... With such a result, how can people not be sad?

"If there is more wisdom and civilization, the competition will be stronger, and if the two meet, there may be a war because of resources and borders, and if there is less wisdom and civilization, the competition will be small, and if there is contact at the beginning, the possibility of peaceful negotiations will be greater."

The old pope babbled, the wrinkles on his face looked deeper, and he sighed again: "But if it is less than this point - then it is not a matter of negotiation, if we want to go to the time and space realm where the other party is, it will take a long time, and even cross a long world void, and there is an almost insurmountable distance between civilizations...... It made me feel so lonely, we Mrs. McCro seemed to be islands in the multiverse, and we didn't even have competitors in the same class, let alone companions. ”

"Don't worry too much, to be honest, there are many conditions for the birth of life, and it is unlikely that primitive life will develop into civilization, after all, wisdom is not a necessary condition for life to reproduce and grow, only a small number of races, such as human beings, are fortunate to have it."

Joshua looked at the other party's worried look, and then spoke to comfort the other party: "After all, the world galaxy we are in is gradually falling into the abyss, and it is normal for the galaxy to be located at the edge of the multiverse, and it is normal for there to be few living worlds - and maybe they will all hide their own world's ability with one hand, and they will not be scanned by us." ”

“…… You don't understand the seriousness of the matter yet. ”

Listening to Joshua's words that didn't seem like comfort at all, but like a blow to people, Eagle couldn't help frowning, worried about the warrior's emotional intelligence, but it was precisely because of this that most of the sorrow in his heart dissipated, the old pope raised his head, looked at the warrior, and said in a deep voice: "In a few decades, the evil god will return to this world galaxy along the great demon tide, if there are not many civilizations here and the strength is not strong, how can we find allies?" ”

Speaking of this, Eagle paused, he seemed to notice that there was no one around him, only Joshua, and then continued to speak fluently: "How can you use them as a 'means' to delay the evil god's advance?" ”

This sentence is too straightforward.

However, the two people present didn't care about this, Joshua shook his head slightly, and he said: "Compared to relying on 'allies' or using other civilizations as bait to delay, it is better to think about how to strengthen your own strength, after all, allies may also take care of themselves, and the bait is only an expedient measure, how long can it be delayed?" You know, it won't take a few days for the evil god to destroy a world that has no ability to resist. ”

As he spoke, the warrior informed Eagle of the information he had about the 'Sanctuary Civilization', some of which he had said since his last return from the world of Chronos, and now Joshua had made a new discovery around the Void Maelstrom.

"Didn't you ask me how I knew about the Void Maelstrom? Actually, I just came back from there. ”

Joshua raised his right hand and swiped through the void, and suddenly, a circle of light mist composed of steel power appeared in front of him, and these light mist changes to form an incomparably detailed void model that is exactly the same as in the previous observation circle! The warrior stretched the model and placed his vision next to the vortex energy structure in the center of the world's galaxy, and he pointed to the center of the maelstrom and said, "To be precise, I came back from a world located in the center of the Void Matrom and solved the troubles of the world's will there. ”

As the old Pope listened in a serious and silent manner, Joshua gave a rough account of what he had encountered and seen in the world of Siberia, but what he emphasized was not the power and strength of Fatlolvi, but the consequences of the crazy spread of Steel's authority and the existence of the 'black mist'.

"That's probably what happens when the supernatural power goes out of control...... And the black fog is the ultimate weapon of the sanctuary civilization, and its owner is an ally of the Glorious Age Mycrove world, which is also a powerful civilization that radiates multiple worlds - at this point, the Mycrove world may even be inferior to the other party, because they have a large number of member worlds, and there are close to ten in the core world alone, and it is extremely difficult to count potential vassals, but it is such a large void civilization, and it was also destroyed under the siege of multiple evil gods. ”

Speaking of this, Joshua couldn't help but look at the void darkness that spanned the world's galaxy, and he shook his head and said, "I originally thought that the Void Maelstrom should be caused by the centuries-long entanglement between the powerhouses of the Sanctuary Civilization and the evil gods, but now it seems that the Void Belt is too big, and there may be other reasons. ”

"The particles of steel brought by the Great Demon Tide can actually cause such a rapid awakening of extraordinary power? We really need to be vigilant about this, because our world has finally ushered in a period of peaceful and rapid development, and there can be no chaos. ”

And after listening to Joshua's words, Eagle let out a long breath, and he nodded with a heavy face: "And in this way, it can be explained that there are so few life worlds in this world galaxy, most of them should have been destroyed by evil gods in the last era, or fell into the abyss, and what we see now should be a group of new races and civilizations." ”

"Actually, it is very likely that the black fog has snuffed out some of the nascent civilizations in order to hunt resources."

Joshua touched his chin, and he said in a serious tone: "Compared to worrying about the fact that the living world is extremely rare in the multiverse, it is more important to solve the trouble that is right next to you. ”

This reason can roughly explain the results of previous deep space observations, but the old Pope still seems to have some problems—not because he was confused about why Joshua went to the depths of the void to solve the problems of the world's will, but because he was troubled by some things that already existed.

"The results of deep space observations and black fog and other things, put aside for now, Joshua, you should know that I wanted to ask you for help a few months ago."

Leaning back slightly on the back of the chair, Iger's face calmed down, he looked at Joshua and said slowly, "And I made a deep space observation this time, and it was for that thing. ”

The warrior also sat in his chair, he was silent, waiting for the other to continue, and after a few seconds, the old pope, who seemed to be thinking about how to phrase it, continued: "Joshua, did you know that the current world of Mycrove is not complete? ”

Joshua knew, of course, and he nodded.

Compared with the Glorious Age period, today's Starfall Era, there are several less continents alone, and the Boundless Heaven Realm, which is part of the sky, has only returned to its original place in recent times, and the fact that the Mycrof world is not complete is so normal that it has become common knowledge among the legendary powerhouses.

"And it's about a part of what McCrove once had, but now it's missing."

Eagle said calmly: "Founded by the clans of the Glorious Age, it is an independent half-plane wonder located in the sky above the former Western Continent, and includes the library of all things, the Great Information Repository. ”

Integrate the big database?

Joshua nodded thoughtfully when he heard the word—but he didn't have any information about it in his head, it was beyond the warrior's information reserves.

The old Pope didn't care what Joshua was thinking, he stretched out his hand, moved aside the model of the void that Joshua had constructed before, and then built a model of the Mycrof continent from the Glorious Age - this Joshua was more familiar, he had seen it in the memories of the Divine Mist and the Earth Goddess - and then, Eagle pointed his finger at the entrance to a half-plane under the Boundless Celestial Realm located in the western part of the continent, and he gestured: "This is where the Great Unified Database used to be. ”

"It used to be a common repository for all ethnic groups, the library, and its contents were open to the vast majority of the people, and the remaining small part was closed because it was too dangerous for people without the appropriate permissions to consult it...... At that time, no race or genre would hide its technology, but proudly open it to all personnel, of course, the core content required corresponding identity permissions and costs, after all, complete selflessness is unrealistic. ”

Speaking of the Unification Great Database, Iger's expression looked a little fascinated, but then, his complexion returned to normal, and the old Pope said with regret: "But unfortunately, in the final battle, the Unification Great Database, like the Boundless Celestial Realm, was forced to be expelled from the broken Mycrof world, and unlike the larger Celestial Realm, which is guarded by many gods, the half-plane where the Great Repository is located was directly knocked away by the aftermath of the battle between the sages, the gods and the evil gods, and has been missing since then. ”

"But some time ago, you found a clue to where this database is now?"

Joshua nodded thoughtfully again, this time, he understood what the old Pope meant: "You originally wanted to ask me, a person who often walks around in the void, to go to the corresponding place to see the situation, but I found that I had left, and even if I came back, I was in a state of metamorphosis, and I couldn't wake up for the time being, so I conducted a large-scale deep space observation to investigate." ”

"That's right."

Eagle nodded crisply, he got up from his chair, and came to the window of this narrow room, the old pope looked at the chaotic void, and said solemnly: "The existence of the Great Database has always been recorded in the classics of the Holy Mountain, and the popes of all generations have been thinking about this huge data center that has recorded almost all the knowledge of the Glorious Age in rumors, if there is him, our civilization is equivalent to having a shortcut, and it will develop rapidly." ”

When he got here, Eagle raised his head slightly, and he laughed softly: "It's not that I'm boasting - my strength is the strongest among the previous popes, and if I have the heart to deduce and use the Sage's Eye as the basis for monitoring, it will only be a matter of time before I find the clues to the Great Database." ”

In this regard, Joshua also nodded deeply - as for the words that civilization should not take shortcuts and cannot retake the old path of the Glorious Era, it is essentially meaningless empty words, because the Starfall Era is completely different from the previous era in terms of its essential social form, and it has its own set of cognitive rules for magic and fighting spirit, as well as various extraordinary powers, even if it is the database of the previous era, it is impossible to affect the form of a civilization that has been formed, a large number of empirical data, Instead, it allows many researchers to reduce meaningless testing time.

As for the boasting of the old pope...... No, it's telling the truth, and there really isn't any problem, because according to his words, the orbit of the big database is recorded, and if the coordinates of the surrounding world don't change significantly, then it is indeed a matter of time to find the clue to it, but unfortunately, what Eagle lacks most is time.

"And then? Have you found the Big Repository? ”

Joshua asked, "Could it be near the Void Maelstrom?" ”

To this, Eagle nodded, and then shook his head: "Probably, I guess, I don't know. ”

Then, he continued, "Some time ago, on the day I asked you to help, the Holy Mountain Fortress happened to intercept a message from the depths of the Void, which was sent by the remaining guardians of the Great Unified Information Database, who survived the aftermath of the battle and multiplied to the present...... But now, their situation is not good, the material cycle within the database has collapsed, and that communication should be a last word, and I suspect they will not last long. ”

Speaking of this, the old pope took a deep breath, his face showed a little unbearable, but he still said coldly: "To be honest, those guardians are worthy of respect, but it doesn't matter whether they die or not, our most important goal is to find the location of the big database, and the countless information and data stored in it are truly priceless - so I didn't rush into a rescue operation, but have been searching the surrounding void to avoid wasting resources in vain."

"And now, I'm pretty sure that it should be located near the Void Maelstrom in your mouth, or rather, next to the 'dark' World Void Zone, because the half-plane where the database is located doesn't have any starlight."

This is the right choice, compared to the respected guardians, the database itself is the most important, not to be careless, and never to act rashly.

When Joshua heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and he also stood up and stood by the window with the old pope.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, "What can I do?" Also, if we really want to patrol the world around the Maelstrom, then we must deal with the black fog that remains of the Sanctuary civilization, where their headquarters are located, and it is impossible to sit idly by and watch our actions. ”

"I know that."

Eagle touched his beard, he looked at the void, as if looking at the worlds on the other side, and then, the old pope whispered, "Joshua...... You can talk freely with the Cybordas, right? ”

"That's true."

Joshua nodded slightly, acknowledging this, and as if confirming something, Eagle continued, "You also know a lot of steel pythons, right?" ”

"That's right."

Joshua said this, and was about to continue, 'But there are only a few of them,' when the old Pope's voice rang out again: "Well, since they can entrust you with helping them solve their problems. ”

Eagle turned his head, he looked at the warrior with blazing eyes, and said in the most serious voice, "Can you also entrust them to help us find the whereabouts of the 'Great Database'?" ”

This is Iger's real purpose - Joshua, as the only existence in the history of the Microf world who has known the will of many worlds, does not always need him to come out in person, in fact, his words are likely to be better than thousands of aimless searches.

Of course, neither the Church of the Seven Gods nor any other forces will let you pay the price alone, no matter what compensation Steelpython needs, we will bear it together, you only need to act as an intermediary between us and Steelpython, and we will even pay an additional payment...... Eagle originally wanted to say this to the warrior that he was willing to pay any price in order to unify the Great Repository and the entire civilization.

But before he could speak, Joshua's voice simply sounded.

"Okay."

As if promising a friend to go out for a meal and drink some wine, the warrior easily agreed: "No problem, this matter is not difficult - but whether it can be solved as soon as possible, it is not for me to guarantee." ”

Looking at Iger's slightly changing expression, Joshua naturally understood what the other party wanted to say, and in this regard, he just shrugged his shoulders: "It's about the entire civilization, why bother talking about what reward, it's so clear...... After all, according to my understanding, those world wills may not care about such trivial matters, just remember to say thank you. ”

He joked rather funny: "You know, I have spent a lot of effort to help the Xiboya World solve its troubles this time, and it has not said thank you." ”

"Ah...... Well. ”

On the side, Iger, who had planned a lot of rhetoric, replied softly, he couldn't say anything, and he didn't have anything to say about it, but showed a relieved smile, and the old pope raised his hand and patted Joshua on the shoulder heavily—Joshua was almost a head taller than the old pope, and this action was indeed a bit laborious.

"Thank you." He said softly.

Soon, Joshua left the Holy Mountain Fortress in the void and followed the portal back to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, but before the warrior could plan to get up and go to the world of Karlis to contact the Steel Python, a rather tense unexpected event interrupted his plans.

Lisa Chronos, a dragon girl from the world of Koronos and a student of warriors, suddenly fell unconscious in the camp of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Grounds.
