In this multiverse, many species are far more fertile than humans.

Even if human beings have a hormone system that is in estrus around the clock, but in the case that it takes nine to ten months to give birth to a child, and most of the births are one child, the fertility of human beings is actually very weak in nature, especially if humans are still flesh and blood creatures, and they cannot reproduce without interruption in their lives, generally speaking, two or three times are already a lot, and there are even some individuals who do not have the adaptability to give birth to each other.

Of course, this is only for some particularly productive species...... Each species has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of reproduction, and generally speaking, the longer the natural lifespan, the fewer births, and the shorter the natural lifespan, the more births will be born - so for some intelligent species with a natural lifespan of more than 3,000 years, humans may be a little more difficult to give birth to than the Zerg.

In any case, as the most basic part of an intelligent life society, reproduction forges the foundation of the race, which determines the form and social tendency of a civilization, and even determines the direction of its collective will. Changing the process or nature of a race can undoubtedly change the shape of the entire race from the very basics, whether the change is accelerated or slowed down.

Few races have the courage to make any major changes to the reproduction process of their own race—not because they fear the unknown, but because they sincerely believe that the reproduction process of their race is a perfect form that has evolved naturally for tens of millions of years, and there is no need to make any changes.

But humans are different.

Mrs. McCro, made a change.

Starfall 858, January 1, 7:34 a.m. Arcro UTC, McCrove World, Far South Eternal Lake, Lange City Central Hospital.

A young man waited anxiously outside the operating room, he walked back and forth in the hallway, like a tireless walking machine, and he could see the boxes of ice cream piled up in the trash can next to him, and you can imagine how much ice cream the nervous gentleman ate while waiting.

It can be seen that he likes to eat vanilla flavors.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, handsome in appearance, very young, with black hair and eyes of a rare fuchsia color, and he looked up from time to time to glance at the closed door of the operating room, and glanced at the elegant line of elven handwriting on the wall sign.

【Smoking is prohibited in the hospital】

"Who knows how to smoke!"

He said to himself anxiously: "Take the smell of smoke to see the child for the first time - I'm not mentally retarded." ”

It is evident that this gentleman – no, now he can already say 'this father', and now the reason for waiting in the hospital is obvious, he is waiting for his wife to give birth to the fruit of their love. It's just that this process can basically only rely on the efforts of his mother alone, and as a father, he can only be like a chocobo suffering from anxiety, which is no different from waste.

I don't know how long it took, but the red light in the operating room finally turned green, and an elf doctor who looked relaxed and not very tired walked out of it.

"Mr. Favenel Chris, the operation was successful and the wife and child are healthy."

Stopping Fafnir, who wanted to enter the operating room, the elf doctor sighed and reassured the other party: "Alas, you can't go in now, your wife is a ...... after all Well, goblins. I mean, it's probably a little bit unsightly, it's ...... You know, it's kind of quirky. ”

"What's wrong!" Mr. Fafnier glared, "Are you questioning my love for Vera?!" ”

“…… No. The elven doctor was stalked, and he couldn't say a follow-up warning, so he could only shake his head and say, "Okay, but seriously, I'll never understand the weird orientation of you humans......"

This time, he didn't stand in the way.

Although the momentum was very strong, when Faveniel walked into the operating room, he was still cautious and light-footed, for fear of disturbing anyone, but soon, a slightly weak cheerful lady's voice came from inside.

"Honey, is that you?"

"It's me, it's me!"

Hearing this, Fafnir immediately perked up, and then the small ward hurried, and the next moment, he saw a very small figure lying on a special white crystal operating table (the size of two palms), and several elven doctors and nurses on the side were removing the miniature surgical tools of related characteristics.

"The difficulty of the spiritual apheresis surgery is not as high as I imagined, and it feels quite easy."

"It's really hard to get pregnant in the first place than to give birth...... I really don't understand, it's just cross-species, how can they (humans) still estrus across body types? ”

"Alas, don't you say this, didn't the patriarch of the Lan Ge clan marry a sea dragon lady with the blood of the Thunder Ancient Dragon? That's also cross-species, cross-body type. ”

"But the dragon has human transfiguration, and the patriarch is also a druid, and can deform by beasts—it's easy to say."

Faveniel could naturally hear these undisguised conversations, but he didn't have time to argue with these people about what Platonic spiritual love was, and he didn't bother to explain to these people what it meant to be 'dependent on the blend' - it was more thorough than a simple blood fusion, directly from the soul aspect, and gave birth to the next generation of the two soul minds.

It's just that the process is a little troublesome, if it weren't for the fact that the McCrove civilization has been in contact with a lot of pure energy and spiritual life in the past ten years, such as the champion of the first multi-galactic civilization invitational tournament gold solo group that year, 'Armond civilization', and got their assistance in research, otherwise, it would really be a big problem to let humans and goblins who originally did not have this function give birth to offspring.

"How's it going, dear?"

Due to the success of the spiritual separation operation, and the elf did not have any infection, so the doctor did not stop Fafnir from approaching, he came to the white crystal operating table, and looked nervously at the wind fairy who looked a little weak because of the separation of spiritual essence.

"I'm fine, I just want to move normally, I guess I'll have to wait a few days."

It can be seen that this wind fairy has long cyan hair, pale golden eyes make her delicate and cute, and a pair of lattice wings that are a bit like the energy shield of the Void Battleship prove that she is a goblin who is close to the new era, she is holding a small point of light in her arms at this time, and her face is full of maternal brilliance - but the whole goblin is only the size of a palm.

The doctors, who were already about to leave, looked at Faveniel with blank eyes, they always thought that it was a crime, but they could not find evidence.

For the elves, isolating a part of the spirit is like separating a part of the flesh and blood, in fact, Favenir has also separated a part of his own spirit a long time ago, but that was a few months ago, and now it has long since recovered.

"In short, our children are healthy!"

With that, the wind fairy named Vera happily raised the point of light in his hand, and Faveniel carefully used his magic power to turn into an invisible and gentle position, and instead of his own overly large hand, he held up the point of light, which was only the size of a fingernail of his little finger.

"Yes...... I felt ...... Very stable energy frequency, good, great! ”

"Ahem, ahem."

And just when the husband and wife were talking sweetly, pouring out their feelings for each other, and even beginning to look forward to the future of the child, with a light cough, the elf doctor came slowly at the beginning, he squinted, looked at a document in his hand, and then looked at it, as if it was a routine matter: "Congratulations to the two, the operation was successful, mother ......"

Speaking of which, he was stuck, and he didn't know whether to say 'son' or 'woman', but the doctor was an elf after all, and he passed this paragraph with a modulation that seemed to be like singing: "...... I have to ask you for your opinion on the 'New McCrof Fertility Act', and I think you all know it. ”

"All in all, do you agree with us performing the 'Divine Companion' ceremony for newborns?"

Does this need to be asked?

Fafnir and Vera first looked at each other, and then said in unison, "We agree!" ”

But having said that, Mr. Faveniel Chris was still a little nervous, he swallowed, looked at the point of light in his hand, and said to himself with some suspicion: "However, can my child really go through the companionship ceremony now?" I mean, it's okay to grow up and come back, right? ”

After all, according to the information he got before, the most primitive divine machine companionship ritual requires taking out a part of the newborn's body for the ritual, and then putting it back into the newborn's body, so as to achieve companionship. And their own children...... After all, it's special, maybe when he or she grows up, he or she will have a human semi-entity, but now, it's a pure demon elf body.

Is that okay too?

"No problem."

The doctor had obviously thought about similar questions for a long time, and he shrugged his shoulders and said: "The old ritual three years ago, in general, borrowed from the traditional rituals of the adult's family, although it can achieve a stable resonance rate of 100%, but many children's parents think it is too bloody, and it may hurt the child, so they always refuse." So soon, two years ago, there was a brand new method that did not need to take out a part of the body, but directly applied the instrument in the air. ”

"And now, we're getting better."

Saying this, a faint blue space-time light appeared in the doctor's hand, and soon, a silver light containing a nebula inside, like a test tube containing a miniature galaxy, appeared out of thin air, and was held in the doctor's hand: "By borrowing from the supreme creation of the 'Shelter Civilization', the structure of the 'Black Mist', plus some unique technologies from Microf, we have researched it." Phase reagent', using this to carry the ritual associated with the divine machine, not only does not need to take out a part of the body, nor does it need to directly perform a ritual on the newborn, only need to inject the core of the phase divine machine into a reagent, so that the newborn can obtain the companionship of the divine machine. ”

"I think it makes sense for the old sanctuary civilization to call this ritual an 'artificial god race' - but we have more weapons than them, haha."

After so many years, many top-secret materials are now gradually being made public, and now it has become a joke about the harmonious atmosphere between doctors and patients.

After listening to the doctor's explanation, Fafnier and Vera were relieved - it was not that they were old-fashioned, but that their children were indeed special and could not bear much damage when they were born, but soon, the doubts of the newborns reappeared: "But doctor, our children are so young...... This phase agent is too big, isn't it? ”

The doctor sighed, and he handed the core test tube of the god machine in his hand, which had been transformed into a phase reagent, to Fafnier, and then made a 'load' motion.

For a while, Fafnir couldn't react, but Vera on the side understood, she was first stunned, and then shocked: "Pretend...... Packed in? ”

She glanced at the test tube, and at this moment, there was a hallucination of the baby stroller: "Bottle...... The villain in a bottle?! ”

"Otherwise, can't you still inject it? It's not a balloon again. ”

The doctor was unimpressed by the shock of the two: "The phase reagent is the best culture medium for the phase life during the growth period, at least it is much better than what you put outside. Moreover, in the process of growing up, he gradually symbiotized with the divine machine, and in the future, the resonance rate between him and the divine machine can definitely reach an extremely high level, and it is not difficult to even break through the '100% measurement limit'. Trust me, we've done a lot more testing on this than you might think. ”

Not to mention the two people who are holding the test tube and the newborn light spot, their faces are tangled, and they don't know how to 'put it in'. The perspective stretches, leaving the hospital in the center of the city, to the whole of Lange City.

You can see that on the street, people come and go, there are all races, all forms of life, there are flesh and blood humanoid life, there are also iron-skinned and steel-boned mechanical individuals, in mid-air, there are ghosts and winged intelligent life flying, and these forms are different, some even from other worlds and different civilizations, without exception, all of them have turned into human forms and walked in the human world.

It stands to reason that it should be more difficult to distinguish the purebred Mrs. McCro among all living beings, but in fact, it is not.

Beside or behind almost every Mrs. McCro, there was a half-spirit of different shapes floating on the street, either in the form of a human, or in the form of a weapon, or even animals, magical beasts, objects, musical instruments, and other strange geometric shapes. Anyone with such a half-spirit is undoubtedly Mrs. Michael.

Even children of seven or eight years old have corresponding spirits floating in them, protecting and guiding them from danger - human children may not know what is sinister, but as their companions, the best playmates, guide and weapon.

Whether or not they will not need this kind of guidance in the future, at least for now, the 'Divine Machine' will open up a safe and smooth path for them until they grow up.

Of course, not all Mrs. McCro chooses to be a miracle companion. At the very least, there are still some people who look at this sudden appearance of the half-body with doubt.

"How can you keep this companion safe?"

They always asked, their tone full of questioning, even fierce attacks: "You can't be sure, can you?" If the divine machine will backfire, wouldn't ordinary people like us, who have no extraordinary power, surely die? ”

For various reasons, they always refuse to change, but their doubts are not wrong, at least, in the process of developing the companionship of the god machine, the developers have long thought of this problem before them.

And the answer to this question is, 'It doesn't matter'.

Insecurity? That's right if it's not safe. There is no such thing as 100% security in this world, and if you want absolute safety and tranquility, then you can only recommend death...... Ah, death is not peaceful, because the absolute strong, even if the dead are annihilated in the void, they can forcibly reverse entropy and time, and forcibly drag people back.

Even the original human body is not safe—all kinds of genetic diseases, all kinds of innate defects, and even the innate shortcomings conceived in the embryo are not more dangerous than artificially created divine machines that strive for perfection? Not to mention others, toothaches, stomach problems, digestive problems, cancer...... Which of these things is not painful and which is not dangerous?

Moreover, compared to the divine machine that has never had a problem at all so far, what humans should be most wary of should be other things - such as car accidents, exploration in another world, accidentally hitting something sharp, learning spells leads to backlash, and excessive tempering of fighting spirit causes life decline...... There are many people in the world who have died from cultivating extraordinary strength, and there are no people who have died from their own swords, and there is no one who does not learn magic and fighting qi, and does not use weapons and tools.

You must know that the people who went crazy and died violently in cultivation back then, God knows how many people there are every day.

However, the magic machine can avoid most of the above dangers.

They are the spirits and weapons associated with humans, and when they hold a companionship ceremony, they can transform the body of the companion to reach a state of natural perfection, he can avoid sudden attacks, prompt dangerous areas, warn before the spell backlash, and bear it together when the spell backlash, and the cultivation of fighting spirit can also guide the companion, if the companion insists on going his own way, at least he can help the other party prepare a suicide note (some will choose to notify the city guard or the companion's parents).

Maybe in the future, when the god machine is accompanied, there will be something bad and cause any bad situation, for example, giving birth to a group of waste people who rely on the god machine for everything - but this kind of person himself will rely on his parents to gnaw on the old even if he doesn't have the god machine, in the final analysis, it is all waste, and the god machine will at least keep him from making mistakes because of waste.

As for the anti-devouring companion's divine machine...... It's not that this possibility is impossible, for example, the companion is too wasteful, and the god machine is really unbearable, and it is indeed reasonable to resist in anger or something. But in the final analysis, it is the spirit body that is conceived and spawned in the soul and body of the companion, if you have to say it, it is really backlash, from a certain point of view, it is actually your left hand hitting your right hand, schizophrenia, and this situation has not happened yet, so it cannot be used as a counterexample.

Of course, there are also some people who don't try to be associated with the divine machine because of such a shallow reason.

Outside the Lan Gecheng Central Hospital, a middle-aged man who didn't look particularly old looked at the hospital with complicated eyes, and he could sense that his son and daughter-in-law were among them, for his own ...... Grandson or granddaughter? Forget it, whatever.

All in all, they are rejoicing and happy.

But as a 'grandfather', he has all kinds of emotions in his heart.

"Divine Machine......"

The former Chris Radcliffe, now the surname Fistner Chris let out a long breath: "Is this fate? ”

His father wanted. For the sake of rights, in order to carry responsibilities.

He didn't want to. For freedom, for the evasion of responsibility.

His son knew nothing about all of this and grew up to this day.

And his grandson, knowing nothing, acquired it.

Entangled in the desires and desires of four generations, this entwined with the cause and effect and cycle of four generations, once again linked to the person who held the blood of the Radcliffe family, he could even hear that the divine machine that had not yet been born from me was cheering and ringing, and the ritual that was born out of the contract of the Radcliffe family was excited by the contact with the blood of the original owner.

"Lucky little one, my grandchild...... Unlike me, who has evaded responsibility and is not qualified to own it again, you know nothing about it and do not have to bear any responsibility...... Because someone has cut off the fate of the bloodline, so that you can grow freely. ”

And the chain of cause and effect belonging to the Radcliffe family is finally linked to all human beings, and even all intelligent life in the future.

The middle-aged man sighed with relief, silently sighed, and the blonde lady on the side gently put her hand on the back of her husband's hand - she thought it was because the other party felt emotion because she was going to be a grandfather, so the lady named Sophie said softly: "Don't sigh, old fellow, it's all a good thing." ”

"yes. It's all a good thing. Wait, you guy, I'm not old! Subconsciously echoed, after Chris reacted, he feigned anger at his wife who covered his mouth and chuckled: "I'll let you know how good I am tonight - add another brother and sister to Fafnier!" ”

“…… Oh, yes. It's all a good thing. ”

In the sky above Lan Song City, the blue-haired and black-winged winged girl looked down on the entire city, and No. 3 stared at the city's central hospital with complicated eyes, staring at the scene of 'humans' and 'goblins', 'physical life' and 'phase life' giving birth to offspring, and I didn't know whether it was helpless or relieved to shake her head: "The bloodline of the Radcliffe family, isn't it possible that you are born to like non-human aliens?" Even the goblins can do it...... But it's all good. ”

"If I hadn't allocated resources to do the research...... Hmph, do these two little guys really think that they can find a way to conceive offspring so quickly? The pregnancy looked perfect, and my train of thought was fine. ”

The pattern of human reproduction has changed, thanks to her efforts and countless others.

- It's all a good thing.

The artificial intelligence behind the development of all this nodded slightly, and then, she turned her head and looked at the entire Lan Song City.

Naturally, a large number of companion divine machines came into her eyes.

“…… It's really unbelievable that there will be this day. ”

No. 3 watched this creation of her former home world, little by little, develop into what it is now, and she watched the divine machine gradually become an indispensable thing for the present and future of the Mycrof civilization with the efforts of her and the people of the Moldavian Lord's Mansion, and the feelings in her heart were a little more complicated than gratifying.

All the hard work and struggle has paid off...... But can that person be seen now?

Surely he could. Absolutely.

"Joshua, the current multi-star galaxy is not very peaceful...... Not only that, but people's hearts are starting to shake a little. ”

Thinking of this, No. 3 naturally opened the magic net, as a humanoid spirit terminal, one of the central administrators of the magic net, and a high-level member of the Mycrof civilization, she was naturally able to connect the entire multi-galaxy and know many secrets that ordinary people could not know.

It can be seen that in the major forums, there are many slightly anxious posts and anonymous communication strings.

[Recently, the Diverse Galaxy Joint Conference was held, and even the 3rd Multi-Civilization Invitational Tournament was suspended, is there something big going to happen? ] 】

[During the conference, the magic network will be cracked down, and the following words are strictly prohibited from appearing in the discussion (with link)]

[I heard that there is a natural disaster at the other end of the multi-galaxy, and there is no news from netizens around the Ross galaxy, and some time ago I played the big arena online, and I suddenly broke the line in the middle of the game, and I have been used to it for the past few years]

[Pray, donate, the world's netizens are one family, we are all people of the big league]

[What's the use of prayer donations, official aid has already been sent, I heard that the legendary swordsman and the new Pope are still leading the team, and now ordinary people like us can wait for news]

[Alas, although I know that it is far away from us, I don't know why, I always feel panicked......]

No. 3 browsed the anonymous discussion thread, compared to the serious forum that will guide public opinion, this kind of place just applies for a string of intervals and conducts secret discussions, so as to truly show everyone's thoughts - although the imminent invasion of dark chaos has not been completely informed to the public, but the increasingly tense social situation and many trends will always make some keen people feel nervous and guess something.

"Brandon, Lolanda has been in the vanguard for almost three years since she went to the Biros Galaxy, and the shadow space connecting the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground and the Shadow Sage to connect the Realms has indeed made communication a lot easier...... But if they didn't stop it, the evil gods would be able to invade all walks of life with the same ease. ”

Thinking of this, No. 3's face darkened slightly: "And I, as the interpretation of the big information base, the carrier and manager of the magic network, can only stay behind...... I always feel that I can't help everyone much, so I can only do a little bit of magic things. ”

But there is no way to be unwilling, even if he obtains the inheritance of the God of the Sky, reaches the legendary realm in the general sense, and becomes the second legendary powerhouse among all the people in the Lord's Mansion except for Joshua, but No. 3 is still very clear that he is not good at fighting at all, and he can't help others much in this regard.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously opened a private high-density forum, and could see that there were basically few people in this simple forum who spoke, and the latest two posts were still a few days ago.

But the content of the post is particularly shocking.

The first post was made by a user with the ID of 'Love, Physics, Mission, Kindness', and the content of the post was the scene of 'Biros Galaxy' that was mentioned in the previous anonymous discussion thread.

It was a starfield on the edge of the Biros galaxy, which was originally desolate and uninhabited, but after the knowledge receiver confirmed it, McCroft's explorers unearthed a large relic of the forerunner of the Demon Sage era.

But now, the original ruin world has become the current fortress star field - with the entire pioneer ruins group as the center, a large area of the void fortress and the world fortress, like a wall made of steel, blocking the entire star field tightly, becoming an incomparably strong fortress group.

At least hundreds of civilizations are transfusing blood here, constantly forging fortresses, and it can be seen that in this large area of fortress communities, there are dozens of different styles, mixed with almost all extraordinary powers and their corresponding derivative powers, and the extraordinary fluctuations are extremely powerful, and even distort the light of this star field, making the entire side of the Biros galaxy shine with distorted rainbow light.

The second post was made by a user with the ID 'Sword of Protection', and the content of the post was an interpretation of the internal documents of the Pioneer-level ruins in the Biros Galaxy.

[This is a civilization called 'Barlord', a civilization suicide note left before it was on the verge of destruction, the content is very long and complicated, explaining the history and development process of their entire civilization, as well as their key technologies, and the more important information I have uploaded to the Omega area of the unified large database, enter the corresponding key to browse]

[However, for us, the most important information is not the information, but their remorse and emotion before their demise]

['We have made the wrong decision to lower our civilization level in order to avoid the destruction of the evil gods...... It's really a big mistake, after self-castration to a second-level civilization, although the evil god will not take the initiative, but this does not mean that the family will ignore us, and the more family members, the evil god will also pay attention...... Sure enough, as the 'sage' wrote, escaping will not solve the problem, but will only be solved by the problem. ’】

[Recently, there have been a lot of negative remarks in the magic web, as well as related escapist speeches that hit self-confidence, and there are even many acquaintances among them, counting on entering the sanctuary world and escaping their lives when the ostrich escapes in the invasion of evil gods...... Seriously, it was the last minute, the refuge we left for the survivors after the defeat, not something to escape, no one can stay in it without bloodshed, I hope you will arrange it, guide the relevant public opinion, and strictly investigate pessimistic speeches]

The user's speech was very intense, and it seemed that he was really angry, although he did not say anything serious, but the language was very harsh.

[It is useless to run away. As the man had always said, there was a silver lining only by facing the suffering head-on – no victory would come for no reason, and we had to fight to get a chance for the safe start of the sheltered world in the future. 】

"yes, as I said to the man......"

Suspended in the sky, Number 3 raised her head, she looked at the heavens, her gaze penetrated the sky, straight into the void: "Just as you have always said." ”

"It's just, when will you be able to appear in front of us, really, and say this sentence yourself?"

Artificial intelligence knows very well that this won't be for long...... In the depths of the magic net, at the core of the Creation Maelstrom, the huge pulsation is becoming more and more rapid and huge.

"This year marks the eighth year that you have left the normal multi-galactic galaxy and headed for the Maelstrom of Creation."

This year marks Joshua van Radcliffe's eighth year in the maelstrom of creation.

The time is coming, it is coming.
