Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1237 The Remains of the Divine War Between [Panglaus] and [The Crimson King]
Soon after, the ethereal light in front of the bridge gradually dispersed, and the outline of Elysium reappeared in the distance.

Blackrock Fortress still hovers outside the shattered crystal wall, its massive shadow pressing down on the entire post-war airspace. The Sea of ​​Love below the fourth-level governor's mansion has been divided into blue-gold harbor areas by the courtyard engineering platform, and the reconstruction framework left by the tenth elder, Perturaber, and the eleventh elder, Dorn, continues to operate.

The Sword-class frigate passed through the outer defense line of the courtyard naval port and slowly descended towards the fourth floor, the Governor's Mansion.

Xia Xiu stood up, his gaze passing over the porthole towards the direction of Blackrock Fortress, where the Second Otto Eldar delegation was waiting for him.

Good grief, they're treating Blackrock Fortress like their own home.

Although the Eldar did initially grant access to Blackrock Fortress, allowing the Kingdom of Heaven to quickly take control, even if the Eldar had refused to relinquish control initially, the Kingdom of Heaven would have taken over the fortress sooner or later.

The second Otto Eldar seems to have a bit trouble distinguishing between the Great and Small Kings.

The Eldar delegation is now openly residing inside the fortress, even setting up their meeting place near the Psionic Throne. This hardly seems like a cooperation; it's clearly a preemptive gesture to remind him that this thing originally belonged to the Eldar and is only temporarily leased to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Xia Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling quite displeased. These old Dengs talked about cooperation, but their actions still carried that characteristic of Deng's autocratic style.

Besides having to deal with troublesome country bumpkins, I also have to cooperate with these arrogant old Dengs. It's really unlucky.

As he was thinking, a [Möbius strip] appeared beneath his feet, and with a turn of the light on the ring, he disappeared from the bridge of the Sword-class frigate.

In the next instant, they were already inside Blackrock Fortress.

……

……

The area where the Psionic Throne is located remains in a state of post-war restoration.

The large black crystal structure was reconnected to the Heavenly Throne circuit. The old Eldar control runes still remained deep in some of the cabin walls, while the new platinum light path of the Heavenly Kingdom had already spread along the throne base, the main control platform, and the weapon hub.

Here, High Priestess Faira Ontius stood below the throne. She was tall and slender, still holding the scepter that was taller than herself. Several small crystal rings hung from the top of the scepter, and the starlight symbols unique to Eldar flowed within them.

Behind her were several Elven servants and guards.

When they saw Xia Xiu appear directly in the area of ​​the Psionic Throne, they visibly tensed up for a moment, feeling the embarrassment of being caught trying to sneak around—they were secretly scanning the fortress's data when Xia Xiu arrived.

The high priestess raised her hand to signal her subordinates not to be nervous, and then she bowed slightly to Xia Xiu.

"It's been a long time, Your Excellency Abraham."

"Please forgive our intrusion, but we are indeed quite moved to see this Blackrock Fortress again. It had slumbered for far too long within the long defensive line of the Second Otto, and now, under the restoration of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Psionic Throne has been restored to function."

"As expected, the authority that the Spirit Race handed over back then was not wasted."

She spoke politely, but she emphasized the words "the authority that the Eldar handed over," as if to remind them that the ownership of the fortress still belonged to the Eldar.

Xia Xiu looked at her with a forced smile on his face.

"High Priest, there's no need to be so polite. It's our own stuff, there's no question of wasting it."

He raised his hand and tapped the Blackrock Fortress main control panel beside him. The platinum Heaven Circuit immediately lit up, extending along the bulkhead to the area beneath the Psionic Throne.

"Look, it's been repaired quite well now, and the weapon system has been reconnected to the Heavenly Armory Protocol. In a while, even those old Eldar runes inside will be cleaned up... and then it will look even better."

The high priest raised his eyes and looked at the rings of light illuminating the Heavenly Circuit; the smile on his face faded slightly.

Xia Xiu, however, seemed oblivious to her change in expression and continued walking forward. He bypassed them and went straight to the front of the Psionic Throne, placing his hand on the armrest of the throne.

The next moment, the entire Blackrock Fortress trembled slightly.

The Heavenly Kingdom's authority unfolded fully beneath the Psionic Throne, with a white-gold light stream overwhelming the remaining Eldar runes. The tactical interface, main cannon authority, void shield structure, and arsenal interface unfolded layer by layer, as if telling everyone present in the most direct way—who's in charge here now.

The faces of the Eldar servants changed, but the High Priest simply watched the scene quietly.

After a moment, she said softly, "His Excellency Abraham is indeed as domineering as the rumors suggest."

Xia Xiu sat on the psychic throne, leaned back slightly, and looked at her.

“I don’t like beating around the bush. I hope the High Priest understands that what we’re going to talk about next is the Gate Empire, the Untouchables, the Red King’s Traces, and the security of the outer Terran, not the Blackrock Fortress ownership dispute.”

"If you really want to talk about ownership, I can represent you and negotiate, but there will be a price to pay..."

He chuckled as he said this.

"If you can afford it then, I might want to hear the Spirit Race's opinion."

The Eldar servants beside them dared not speak out in anger. How dare a mere, inexperienced individual from a civilized force humiliate their great Otto Eldar race in such a way.

If they weren't truly no match for Xia Xiu, they would have loved to go over and teach this guy who didn't know how to respect his elders a lesson!
The High Priest wisely skipped the topic, explaining that the Elven race hadn't come here to clash with the Heavenly Kingdom; they still had a common enemy to deal with. She apologized to Xia Xiu.

"I'm sorry, it seems we really shouldn't be discussing the ownership of Blackrock Fortress at this time."

"Very good." Xia Xiu nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the old Dengs were just arrogant, not really stupid.

He lightly tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingertip, and a white-gold table rose in front of the psionic throne. On the tabletop appeared the Expeditionary Fleet of the Outer Empire, the Eldar blockade line of the Second Otto World, and the deep red area marked with the Red King's mark.

"Let's get down to business."

He looked at Farah Antius, his tone becoming calm.

"The Emperor of the Gate Empire is leading his fleet toward Terra and the myriad worlds. You have blocked their path and discovered traces of the Wo Wutu and the Red King in that area."

"Now tell me, High Priest, what exactly did you see in that place that made you come to seek cooperation with the Kingdom of Heaven?"

The High Priestess was also very direct. She raised her scepter, and the Eldar genealogy network connected to the platinum table. The crimson area, which had been simply marked, was rapidly magnified, and star maps, planar folds, Eldar blockade fleets, and the Gate Empire's advance routes unfolded layer by layer.

Xia Xiu saw a patch of fire.

The flame hung between the galaxy and the plane, its color not simply red, nor the high-temperature plasma flow of ordinary stars, but a primordial fire ignited from the depths of the concept.

It is burning everything it touches.

A small meteorite streak was grazed by flames; the siliceous rock layer did not melt and directly became part of the bright flames. A cold, dark river tributary was swept into the edge, and the liquid water also began to burn. The flames climbed back along the river channel, as if to burn the entire spatial water vein into a fire rope.

Even more outrageous, etheric energy and even information were burning.

"You see, anything that comes into contact with this flame will immediately become its fuel. It's perfect for dealing with Wo Wutu's ability to devour everything in its path."

The projection on the desktop continued to zoom in.

Xia Xiu soon noticed that a large, unnaturally flat area had appeared in the starry sky around the flames.

That area seemed to have been forcibly compressed into a lower dimension by some extreme weapon. Space, stardust, abandoned ship wrecks, and several fragments of small planes were all compressed into near-thin structures, forming a silvery-white blockade. This was... a dimensional reduction attack.

Moreover, judging from the situation, this dimensional reduction attack was an unusual black technology released by the Eldar. When the flames collided with this dimensional reduction blockade, the expansion speed was finally suppressed.

It was still burning, but every time it lunged outward, it was as if it had hit a cosmic wall that had been pressed into paper. The flames spread along the two-dimensional edge, but could not immediately devour new spatial layers as before.

Xia Xiu glanced at it for a few seconds and then understood why the Spirit Clan was in such a hurry.

If this thing isn't contained, it will eventually burn from one star sector to another, and then spread along the Etheric Channel and the Plane Folding Layer to the boundaries of all the universes.

At the very center of that flame, a huge red black hole was suspended.

It has a black hole-like appearance, but its edges are not deep black. Instead, they are dyed red and formed into rings like fleshy irises. Inside, countless points of light flicker faintly, like a city cluster, civilization zone, or planetary consciousness layer wrapped in the depths of gravity.

Xia Xiu's great spirituality probed into the projection for a moment, and the next moment, the [Second World Bubble] within his body sensed the aura of a kind... similar to the fluctuations of the [Upper Narrator].

No, it should be said that the frequency fluctuations of Gaia consciousness and Alaya consciousness exist within it—there is actually a planetary will and a civilizational will within it!
No wonder the Gate Empire was interested in this thing; I myself found it hard not to be interested in this cosmic wonder when I first saw it!
Moreover, following the network provided by the Eldar, he delved into the flames enveloping the black hole and sensed something familiar within the seed.

This way of burning has a similar sense of origin to the [solar element] in his body, only it is more ancient, more primitive, and closer to the concept of [the first wisp of fire before creation].

After a moment, he said in a low voice:
"The flames of Pangloss..."

The high priest suddenly looked up, and this time, a crack finally appeared in the composure on her face. She looked at Xia Xiu in surprise and said:

"You actually know about Panglaus?"

Xia Xiu didn't rush to explain; he simply watched calmly as the abnormal sea of ​​fire burned continuously in the projection.

"I learned this from an old man."

As he said this, he raised his hand, and a faint spark appeared in his palm.

“I happen to have the spark left behind by this person in my hand.”

【Panglaus】—The most benevolent god, He is the flame before creation, igniting the universe from the primordial void.
Xia Xiu had heard of this person's name from the ancient being Set long ago; that person was currently retiring in the depth 5 of the myriad worlds [Odpapadopoulos].

The Flame Demon Legion within Xia Xiu's Spiritual Legion possesses some characteristics derived from this spark of creation.

Farah Antius stared at the spark in Xia Xiu's palm, his eyes noticeably brighter.

"Your Excellency Abraham, does the ancient being you speak of still retain his full consciousness? If he did indeed witness the flames of Panglaus, the Second Otto is willing to present him with a request for a visit at the highest level."

Xia Xiu glanced at her and replied, "He won't see you."

The high priest's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the scepter.

"You can convey our request."

"No need to relay." Xia Xiu put away the sparks in his palm, his tone blunt and leaving her no room for maneuver. "Seth doesn't like being disturbed."

Xia Xiu ignored her reaction, pointed to the red black hole on the table, and then tapped the ring of dimensional reduction barrier.

"Let's talk about the matter at hand first."

"You've suppressed the outward expansion of this Panglaus Flame with a dimensional reduction blockade, but the red black hole inside is still active, and it possesses the consciousness of the civilization Gaia and the fluctuations of Alaya consciousness."

"In other words, the traces of Wo Wutu and the Red King are very likely hidden inside that civilization."

Farah Antius remained silent for a moment before finally shifting the topic away from Seth.

She knew that things had priorities. She could find a way to get information about the ancients later, but the Emperor of the Men Empire's fleet had already advanced to the front of the blockade line, and the traces of the Red King were also reviving in the depths of that sea of ​​fire.

She raised her scepter, causing the Spirit Clan genealogy network to continue expanding that fiery domain.

“I once told you that the Wowutu yearn to exist, so they devour reality, using matter and even concepts to replenish their stability. But after each devouring, they slide back into non-existence because their own structure cannot be fixed.”

"So they are always eating, never full, and never truly able to exist."

“What they devour will be erased from reality; traces, records, memories, cause and effect, and other related things will all be swept away by the Wowutu. On the scale of civilization, encountering the Wowutu is equivalent to encountering a disaster that will devour civilization itself.”

"The flames of Panglaus are a natural counter to Wowo."

"When the Eldar fought against the Worfutu in the past, they received help from that merciful god. His flames could bring the Worfutu out of their collapsed form that had repeatedly killed them."

"For this reason, in the Eldar's oldest records of calamities, the flames of Panglaus have always been regarded as one of the few effective means of combating the Voidwalkers."

"Panglaus once clashed with the Red King and did indeed injure him... The Eldar ancient texts do not fully record that battle, only leaving a very vague description; a sea of ​​fire burned through the Crimson Throne, and an unfinished World Egg fell into the Land of No Time, waiting to reappear at some wrong moment in the future."

Farah Antius lowered his voice.

"We suspect that this area is the site of a battle from that ancient conflict."

"It may have happened in the previous era, or even earlier. The two sides in the war were of such high status that the present world could not directly load their [facts of war] at that time. Instead, these [facts of war] sank directly into the deepest part of the seventh level of the ether."

“Ether has no stable concept of time; the results of the past will manifest in the future, and the wounds of the future may be reflected in the present.”

"So this Panglaus flame and red black hole are most likely the wounds that were delayed by the long ether projection after that battle, and have finally reappeared until now."

On the platinum table, a red black hole slowly rotates.

Flames burned on the outer layer, suppressed by the dimensional reduction blockade, while the advance of the Gate Empire's expeditionary fleet resembled a knife, plunging towards the center of this ancient battlefield.

Farah Antius looked at Xia Xiu and said in a solemn tone:

"The Emperor of the Gate Empire did not know what he was facing, or rather, he knew part of it, but still felt that he could take something from it."

"If he opens a portal inside the red black hole, the Panglaus Flame, the remnants of the Voidlings, the traces of the Red King, and that world where civilization still fluctuates, could all be affected by the portal network of the Gate Empire."

Xia Xiu understood.

"In other words, the Emperor of the Gate Empire wants to open a door in this place and release everything inside."

Farah Antius nodded.

"That's why we stopped him."

Xia Xiu was speechless.

No way, what's BYD thinking? Is it like an old man eating poison because he thinks he's lived too long?
