With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 493 The Origin of the Prophecy (Two in One)

The place of creation.

The pale red ocean of light ripples slightly.

Perhaps because the nebula structure and macroscopic gravitational structure of the Creation Land have not been completely repaired, Kraken has felt that his body is a little strange since he woke up:

He could never sense the feeling at the finest part of the branches, as if this part of his body had completely disappeared.

Not only that, but His thinking was also seriously confused.

The reason for this is that the life form of the Kraken is completely different from that of ordinary creatures.

For normal organisms, each organ in the body has its own function, just like the different parts of a machine, and they work together to complete various physiological activities.

But the Kraken is different.

As a nebula creature, the Kraken's body structures do not actually have a clear division of labor. The most common division of organs and tissues in organisms does not apply to it.

The entire nebula, or the entire place of creation, can be said to be His body as well as His brain - the macroscopic gravitational structure not only constructs His body, but also constructs a thinking system for him that spans eight thousand light years.

Logically speaking, a thinking system with such a wide span is bound to lead to thinking stagnation.

After all, the upper limit of the transmission speed of gravitational waves is the speed of light. If the Place of Creation is compared to the human brain, it will take at least eight thousand years for a neuron signal to be transmitted from one end to the other.

This almost eliminates the possibility of the birth of conventional consciousness.

The reason why Kraken did not fall to this point is entirely due to the high-dimensional warp channels throughout the starry sky.

Relying on them, gravitational waves can flexibly and quickly travel through the starry sky, thus laying the foundation for Kraken's consciousness.

Because of this, the incompleteness of the nebula and gravitational structure led to this rather serious sequelae - compared to usual, His thinking process at this time also seemed a bit confused and disordered.

In fact, this was already much better than the awakening He had expected.

He expected that it might take a very long time for Him, who had just awakened, to recover most of his thinking abilities.

The only thing that made Kraken feel strange was his control over his body and the speed of his thinking.

Compared with before the injury, although his thinking was somewhat confused, his control over his body and his reaction speed of thinking had greatly improved.

【strangeness……】

Kraken checked his body while trying to sort out his confused thoughts.

This can be considered a special ability of the nebula life—not only can he easily check the internal structure of his body, he can even use gravitational waves to explore many star fields outside the place of creation.

Soon, Kraken discovered something abnormal inside his body.

First of all.

Although the stars located on the gravitational hub have been restored, the scattered stars scattered in the body have disappeared. Not only that, the density of nebulae in the galaxy has also decreased a lot, and even a considerable number of areas are vacant.

And this is why He lost partial control of His body.

Secondly, there are a large number of complex space-time structures similar to warp channels arranged between these stars, and these structures come from mechanical devices that it has never seen before.

Thanks to this, gravitational waves are traveling faster and faster between stars.

Combining the above two points leads to a strange and contradictory phenomenon:
Although his thoughts were a little confused, his reaction speed was greatly improved.

Just as Kraken was trying to sort out his thoughts, Chen Fan beside him was staring blankly at the end of the seemingly empty starry sky.

[Thank you again for your help earlier. The equipment for building the warp channel was of great help to me. ]

A message came from the side, interrupting Chen Fan's thoughts.

"Warp channel?"

As he listened to Kraken's explanation, the expression on Chen Fan's face gradually became more interesting.

I never expected that this last-minute emergency measure would have such additional benefits!

What is this, anyway?
A mechanical prosthesis exclusively for Nebula Life?

Sure enough, no matter what kind of life it is, it will eventually have to take the path of mechanical ascension!
Just as Chen Fan was sighing to himself, the fluctuations coming from the distant starry sky once again attracted Chen Fan's attention.

The extremely dazzling white flash in the starry sky disappeared.

Not only that, the huge depression that seemed to be ready to devour people from the high-dimensional perspective did not last long.

After the white flash that almost penetrated the universe completely disappeared, the deep pit that suddenly appeared began to gradually flatten out.

If you only focus on the space inside the universe, it seems that everything has returned to its previous state, as if the abnormal phenomena just now were all illusions.

but……

If you focus your eyes on the cosmic membrane, you can easily discover a terrifying phenomenon - a layer of fine cracks has appeared on the surface of the cosmic membrane, which was originally relatively flat!

Chen Fan suddenly understood.

Although he was not sure what happened in that distant star field for the time being, he thought that it should be the traces left by the operation of Genesis Fortress.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed the fine cracks on the surface of the cosmic membrane.

Under normal circumstances, this crack might not have mattered much - a crack thousands of light years in size is like a small break on a person's hand to a cosmic bubble tens of billions of light years across. Even if it does not repair itself, it will not cause any serious problem.

But things are certainly different now than usual.

Chen Fan raised his head slightly and cast his gaze on the cosmic membrane corresponding to the star field of the Land of Creation.

An irregular hole only a few light years in size and almost imperceptible suddenly appeared on the huge cosmic membrane. At the edge of the hole, deep cracks extended out and spread toward the intact cosmic membrane around it.

If you look closely, you can find that the shape of the hole is somewhat similar to the double-pyramid Genesis Fortress!

This is the price Genesis Fortress paid for forcibly entering the anti-universe bubble.

Just a few days ago, when the peacekeeping fleet had just entered the anti-universe bubble, this bi-pyramid-shaped void was only one light year in size, but now, its size has expanded several times without anyone noticing!
"Hey……"

Chen Fan shook his head and sighed silently.

What Wang Jing said was indeed correct. For this cosmic bubble, the rupture of the cosmic membrane is almost an irreversible process.

The fine cracks caused by the operation of the Genesis Fortress in the distance will undoubtedly accelerate the progress of the cosmic membrane rupture again.

[The speed of light has changed...]

Just as Chen Fan was thinking, a clear message came from the constantly fluctuating ocean of light beside him: [Just now, the speed of light in that star field has dropped significantly, probably... only 30 meters per second. ]

Kraken's voice trembled a little, and even the unstable sea of ​​light moved cautiously away from that star field.

It seemed that He was very afraid of the fluctuations coming from the starry sky.

After a little thought, Chen Fan understood the reason - according to the information Wang Jing had mentioned, after the speed of light decreases, both nebula matter and large celestial bodies will be destroyed in an instant. For Kraken, this is undoubtedly a catastrophic disaster.

"Don't worry, it should be my civilization that is dealing with the giant scorpions in this star field." Chen Fan quickly explained to Kraken, "That is the so-called alien life form."

The moment the information was transmitted, the already fluctuating sea of ​​light became more violent, but it stopped moving away.

After a long while, a message mixed with awe, fear, and gratitude came out quickly: [Dear messenger, your civilization is very powerful. ]

Listening to Kraken's compliments, Chen Fan could not show any smile on his face.

If one compares the lives of the Kraken and Xinalo civilizations with the safety of the anti-universe bubble, there is no doubt that almost everyone will choose the former without hesitation.

This also includes Chen Fan.

Reason told him that he should choose the former. After all, the cosmic bubble was just a dead thing.

but……

However, our senses make a completely opposite judgment.

In his opinion, the cosmic bubble seems to be more important than these civilizations.

Not just this cosmic bubble, but all cosmic bubbles!

【Are you worried about the universe? 】

The emotional fluctuations of a conscious being are difficult to conceal, and Kraken quickly noticed the uneasiness and entanglement in Chen Fan's heart.

Seeing Chen Fan's affirmation, the sea of ​​light fluctuated, and Kraken sent another message to Chen Fan: [This is described in the prophecy. 】

[When the twins meet, the crisis will be resolved. ]

[If the prophecy is correct, this crisis should...]

"Wait." Chen Fan interrupted Kraken's words quickly, "Prophecy? What prophecy? What are the twins?"

Chen Fan looked stunned and his heart was filled with confusion.

He has mentioned the prophecy since the Kraken awakened.

At first Chen Fan didn't think much about it, but now looking back, there are obvious problems in Kraken's words.

According to the Xinalo civilization, the prophecy was the will of the star god, the Kraken.

But from Kraken's words, we can hear that this is not the case.

even……

Kraken himself also followed this prophecy and took many actions!!
So where does this so-called prophecy come from?
The moment Chen Fan asked the question in his mind, the fluctuations of the sea of ​​light became more intense. These pale red starlights gathered and danced in the starry sky, forming symbols of unknown meaning.

[Prophecy...] Unlike the clear words before, this time, the message sent by Kraken was full of panic: [They, they passed down the prophecy!]

[I... I am just a narrator. It was them who asked me to tell these prophecies to the Xinalo civilization!]

Hearing this, Chen Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

His premonition just now turned out to be correct!

These prophecies come from another unknown existence!

"Who are they?"

Chen Fan didn't have time to think and hurriedly asked Kraken.

【They are...】

The sea of ​​light suddenly jumped and suddenly disintegrated into countless tiny points of light. Then, in Chen Fan's shocked eyes, it regrouped into a sea of ​​light. The Kraken screamed, and the information it sent out became increasingly scattered and incomprehensible: [Cannot say! ]

[Can’t say!!]

[They warned me! I must not reveal their identities at will, otherwise...]

Suddenly, Kraken paused: [They are coming! They are coming! ! ]

At the same time, the sea of ​​light that had just gathered suddenly shrank into a flickering ball of light, like an animal that was strongly frightened, curling up its body and trembling slightly.

Chen Fan was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look around.

There are no abnormal phenomena.

The starry sky is still the same starry sky, and the nebula is still the same nebula.

"Calm down, Kraken."

"There's no one else here." Chen Fan frowned, trying to calm Kraken down. "I'm here, someone else is here, no one can hurt you."

"Tell me, who are they?"

[No...I can't say...I can't say...]

[I told you, something big is going to happen...]

Chen Fan stared blankly at the sea of ​​light in front of him that was almost in a state of chaos, and fell into complete silence.

What on earth happened in this universe?

What happened to the Kraken?
Why is He so afraid of the so-called prophecy?

What big event will occur if the prophecy is leaked?
Countless questions arose in Chen Fan's mind, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

Judging from the current situation, the distribution of forces within the anti-universe bubble should be very simple.

Star scorpion, Kraken and Xinalo civilization.

Apart from these three civilizations, there seems to be nothing else in this universe...

and many more!

Chen Fan's eyes suddenly widened as if he had thought of something.

He subconsciously overlooked a very important existence!

Ghost Fleet!!
You know, the investigator starships and scientific research vessels entered the anti-universe under the leadership of the ghost fleet!

only……

For some unknown reason, since successfully entering the anti-universe, the leading ghost fleet has completely disappeared from their sight.

Because of this, Chen Fan subconsciously forgot it deep in his memory.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan took a deep breath: "Kraken, does it look like this?"

As he spoke, he thought about it and transmitted the appearance of the ghost fleet in his memory to Kraken.

The moment the information was transmitted, the ball of light that had previously curled up into a ball seemed to be frightened by something and suddenly "exploded", turning into countless bright pale red light spots!
Although Kraken didn't speak, Chen Fan had already gotten the answer from his reaction.

"The prophecy comes from the ghost fleet..."

Chen Fan's eyes were dark as he stared into the deep starry sky.

"What exactly does this ghost fleet want to do?"

[Yes, yes, it is it! ]

In the sea of ​​light that had dispersed and reunited several times, Kraken's trembling words came: [You...you know it? ]

"That's it."

Chen Fan, who was lost in thought, answered casually: "To be precise, it was it that brought us to this universe."

「This, this, this……」

Kraken was obviously frightened by the information that Chen Fan casually said. He stuttered for a long time, and finally said in a tentative tone: […One of our own? ]

God’s own people!

This Kraken's train of thought... is quite strange!

Chen Fan's eyes twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to shake his head to deny it, but the next second, he swallowed the denial that was about to come out of his mouth, and instead smiled faintly, nodded "reservedly", and gave a rather vague answer: "I guess so."

Kraken didn't care about Chen Fan's ambiguous attitude. After getting Chen Fan's affirmation, he moved closer to Chen Fan with some excitement and asked repeatedly: [What about the twin encounter mentioned in the prophecy? ]

[I've had enough of those alien life forms! ]

When will this crisis end?

As he spoke, Kraken finally realized the problem belatedly: [Wait... since you know it, why did you ask about the prophecy just now? ]

"..."

Chen Fan was silent for a moment, then said without blinking, "You don't understand. We belong to two different departments."

"Our civilization is so large that it's inevitable that there will be some communication problems."

"Can you understand?"

Kraken was slow to speak, and even the sea of ​​light that had been fluctuating violently before fell silent.

Chen Fan's heart began to beat fast.

After all, the other party is an old monster who has lived for countless billions of years. I'm afraid such a despicable lie can't fool the Kraken, right?

Just when Chen Fan was about to think of a way to cover up his lie, Kraken let out a long sigh.

【I see……】

[As expected of an advanced civilization!!]

Chen Fan: "..."

have to.

He now understood that although the Kraken had survived in the starry sky for hundreds of millions of years, he had never come into contact with any advanced civilization and was seriously lacking in all basic common sense related to civilization.

to be honest.

In terms of communication with interstellar civilizations, the other party is probably no different from a blank piece of paper.

"cough……"

Chen Fan coughed lightly, suppressed the slight guilt in his heart, and started talking again: "You can see that we are now doing our best to kill those giant scorpions. I am afraid we can't spare the time to ask about the prophecy for the time being."

"How about this, you briefly tell me the information you know, and I'll see if there are any questions."

The ocean of light stopped fluctuating again.

Kraken stared blankly at Chen Fan in front of him. With hundreds of millions of years of life experience, he vaguely sensed some problems.

But due to the lack of physical structure, His thinking seemed a little confused. Although He had some awareness, He was unable to grasp the key points.

After pondering for a long time, the puzzled Kraken temporarily put aside his confusion and answered honestly: [In fact, it only told me three prophecies. ]

[The first one is the invasion of alien life forms, which are the giant scorpions you mentioned. This has already come true.]

【The second one is your arrival, which has also come true. 】

[As for the third one... it's what I just said, when the twins meet, this crisis will be resolved.]

[Among them, according to its requirements, the first two prophecies need to be told to the Xinalo civilization, and the third prophecy needs to be told to the messenger from the foreign land at the appropriate time.]

"The right time?" Chen Fan's mind moved, and he asked Kraken, "What is the right time?"

[I... I don't know.] Kraken's voice was extremely confused. [I also asked it the same question, but it didn't say it clearly, just mentioned an insignificant sentence.]

"what?"

【The more you talk, the more you stray. 】
