Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 316: Filling in the gaps: The origin of the agent

"Going to Zebulon?"

Xie Shen frowned upon hearing this and said, "But hasn't Zebulon Star turned into a super-giant black ball of light?"

"Not only will the volume of the black light ball continue to grow infinitely, but it will also constantly absorb the source power nearby."

"If we send someone there, I'm afraid that person will be drained of all his original power in an instant and transformed into a mass of meat."

"Indeed." Li Xiu followed Xie Shen's words and said, "Because of the black light ball, that is, the zero-dimensional annihilation weapon."

"Now, no matter whether it is a monk or an ordinary person, it is no longer possible to go to Zebulun Planet."

"But you and Dunbin are different."

"What's the difference?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Is it because Deng Bin and I have the power of origin in our bodies?"

"Yes." Li Xiu nodded and replied: "The reason why the zero-dimensional annihilation weapon can transform people into meat balls is because it can absorb the original power in the human body."

"But what if the source power in a person's body is so much that it can't be absorbed completely?"

"You're overthinking this." After learning about Li Xiu's thoughts, Xie Shen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Although Deng Bin and I both have the power of origin in our bodies, we can resist the erosion from the black light ball for a while, but this resistance cannot last long."

Xie Shen estimated: "If facing a black ball of light as big as an entire planet, I estimate that Dunbin can only hold on for about 30 minutes at most."

"As for me"

Xie Shen continued, "Because I am following the path of Pure Body Cultivation, the Origin Power in my body is even greater than that of a cultivator in the Return to Void Stage."

"So I should be able to hold out for about an hour."

"That's enough." Li Xiu continued Xie Shen's words, "Although I can't increase the source power in your body out of thin air, I can try to slow down the speed at which the black ball absorbs the source power."

Li Xiu seemed to have been prepared for this.

When he said this, he suddenly took out two sets of space pressure suits commonly used by ordinary people from the experimental table beside him in front of Xie Shen and others.

He introduced: "This is a protective suit made of depleted uranium doped with bismuth metal. Its insulation performance is ten times that of lead plate."

"Although depleted uranium is weakly radioactive, it can cause certain radiation damage to the human body."

"But you are all monks after all, so this little side effect can be ignored."

Li Xiu handed the two sets of protective clothing to Xie Shen and Deng Bin.

He reminded them, “Remember these two sets of protective clothing. They can slow down the speed at which the black light ball absorbs the original power to one tenth of its original speed. So after you get close to Zebulon Star, you can last about 5 hours and 10 hours respectively.”

"Once this period of time has passed, remember to leave as soon as possible."

"If all else fails, you can also try to directly summon the subspace channel to escape."

"And then there is"

Li Xiu continued, "These two protective suits only have the ability to block, and cannot be used in combat. Once you encounter a strong enemy and engage in combat, the protective suits may be destroyed in an instant due to the huge impact force."

Time is tight.

After getting the protective suit developed by Li Xiu, Xie Shen and Deng Bin put it on immediately, and both activated the original power in their bodies to tear open a crack in the laboratory that led to the subspace channel.

After a few seconds.

Under the gazes of countless people, Xie Shen and Deng Bin successively turned into golden lights, escaped into the subspace channel and disappeared without a trace.

...

The central region of the Milky Way.

In the galaxy where Zebulon is located.

In the vast starry sky of the universe, a space crack suddenly appeared from the void and gradually expanded larger and larger.

This went on for a short while.

Xie Shen and Deng Bin were seen escaping from the crack one after the other.

Looking at the Zebulon star not far away, which had turned into a super-giant black ball of light, Dunbin couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow!"

“When I used the projector to look at the giant black ball of light before, I didn’t think there was anything special about it.”

“Now that I am there, I can immediately feel the horror of this giant ball of light.”

"Facing this ball of light"

Dunbin was about to continue.

However, Xie Shen took the initiative to take over the conversation and said, "Facing this ball of light, I have a vague feeling."

"I can feel that no matter how high my cultivation level is or how strong my strength is, I will never be able to hurt him in the slightest."

"I only feel this kind of powerlessness when facing indescribable creatures."

Conversation room.

Only Li Xiu's voice was heard, ringing in the combat power detectors worn by the two: "According to the intelligence obtained by our Human Alliance, the Agents are not only technologically advanced, but also because of the Ascendant technology, the individual strength of their command members is also extremely strong."

"The strongest group of people have the same level of cultivation as a cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage."

"There are even some who can rival the monks in the Fusion Stage."

Li Xiu analyzed: "So if nothing unexpected happens, with his strong individual strength and advanced technological support, the agent boss Zeus who is trapped underground should most likely still be alive at this moment."

"Hurry up and go find him."

"Maybe I can get some information about dream weavers and indescribable creatures from him."

"Understood!" After receiving Li Xiu's order, Xie Shen and Deng Bin didn't think much about it.

The two of them immediately used their magical power to shrink the earth into an inch and rushed towards the direction of Zebulun Star together.

in this way.

In just over a minute, Xie Shen and Deng Bin had walked over hundreds of kilometers.

When they got closer to Zebulun Star, Deng Bin made a gesture to Xie Shen and spoke.

"Thank you, Brother Shen. Please take me with you for a while."

"My cultivation is higher than yours. Let me use my spiritual sense to explore the interior of this planet first."

Say it.

He decisively released the spiritual consciousness in his body and carefully explored deep into the underground of Zebulun Star.

The moment the spiritual consciousness penetrated into the ground, an old voice was heard coming from the atmosphere of the planet Zebulun.

"A cultivator in the Return to Void Stage?"

"I guess the two of you came to our planet Zebulun at this special moment to gather information about the zero-dimensional annihilation weapon, right?"

"If you are not afraid of death and of having your inner power sucked dry, then come find me underground on Zebulun."

The old voice emphasized: "The secret room I am currently in, hidden deep underground, is built with special materials such as alloy black and lead plates. It can slow down the absorption of the origin power by the zero-dimensional annihilation weapon to a certain extent."

“So, at present, my place has not been transformed into a mosaic.”

"With your cultivation level, you two can find me in no time if you just use your spiritual sense to probe into the ground."

In low Earth orbit.

After hearing what the old voice said, Xie Shen and Deng Bin looked at each other at the same time.

Deng Bin asked, "There shouldn't be any traps here, right?"

——Ever since being tricked by the ancestor Wanxin in the spiritual world of the indescribable creature 'Wu', Deng Bin has become much more cautious than before.

Seeing that he was being overly cautious, Xie Shen said with a smile: "You don't need to think too much at this time."

"After all, we are operating under the command of Li Xiu."

He shared his experience with Deng Bin.

"When Li Xiu is around, we don't have to use our brains. When Li Xiu is not around, we have to be extremely careful at every step."

"Do you understand?" After saying this, without waiting for Deng Bin's response, Xie Shen took the lead and flew into the atmosphere of Zebulon.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Deng Bin hurriedly followed after seeing him.

After arriving above the surface of the planet, Xie Shen slowly expanded the range of his spiritual sense to the maximum.

in this way.

In less than three or five minutes, he found the underground secret room that the old voice had mentioned.

"Let's go, in that direction."

After getting the exact location, Xie Shen took a step forward in mid-air.

At this moment, under the effect of the magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch, distortions immediately appeared under his feet.

next second.

Along with this distortion, Xie Shen teleported to the secret room hidden deep underground in the blink of an eye.

At the same time when Xie Shen appeared in the secret room, Deng Bin also teleported over using his magical power of shrinking the ground into an inch.

He looked around, and finally his eyes fixed on an old man who was lying in front of a huge ancient bronze mirror.

The old man had disheveled hair and was wearing a pair of extremely loose pajamas that looked very comfortable at first glance.

Dressed like this, he looks somewhat bohemian.

But at the same time, there was not a speck of dirt on his body. It was obvious that someone often came here to take care of him, or he often used some high-tech to clean his body.

In the secret room.

After looking the old man up and down, Deng Bin was the first to speak to him: "Excuse me, senior, are you Zeus, the boss of the Agents?"

"Ah"

The old man chuckled and replied, "You don't have to call me senior. I'm just a scientist, not a practitioner."

"You can just call me by my name. We are equals, so just be casual."

——The old man’s words can be considered as half a self-introduction.

Not only did he reveal his identity as a scientist, he also acknowledged the fact that he was the agent boss Zeus.

Having confirmed that the other party was Zeus, Dunbin went straight to the point and continued.

"We came to Zebulon this time mainly to ask you about the dream weaving body, the zero-dimensional annihilation weapon, and the indescribable creatures."

"Oh, right"

talking.

He suddenly pointed at the huge bronze mirror behind the old man and asked, "By the way, what is the big mirror behind you used for? Could that mirror be the portal summoned by the dream weaver as rumored?"

"You guessed it right."

Upon hearing this, the old man generously admitted: "The mirror behind me is indeed a portal summoned by the dream weaver."

"Besides, since this mirror is blessed by some unknown power, I have been unable to destroy it over the past thousands of years, no matter how many methods I have used."

“Finally I just couldn’t help it.”

"In order to prevent the dream weaver from invading our galaxy through this mirror, I sacrificed myself and will use my life to guard this mirror forever."

I don’t know why.

Although the words of the agent Zeus sounded righteous, people could not help but admire him.

But after listening to it, Xie Shen always felt that something was wrong.

But when he was really asked what was wrong, he couldn't explain it for a while.

So with this doubt in his heart, Xie Shen could only remain silent and watch the situation develop quietly.

It’s Dunbin.

He did not have the same doubts as Xie Shen, he just clasped his fists towards Zeus and said: "Sir, you are so noble, for the sake of the future of all mankind, you are willing to stay here for thousands of years. I really admire you!"

"Ah"

Zeus, who had been guarding in front of the ancient bronze mirror for thousands of years, seemed not to care about it.

He waved to Deng Bin and continued the previous topic.

"Didn't you just ask me about dream weaving bodies, zero-dimensional annihilation weapons, and things about indescribable creatures?"

"Then I will talk about the Dreamweaver first," Zeus said slowly, "Regarding the Dreamweaver, I have never seen one myself."

"Most of the information I learned about this creature came from the intelligent life forms in the Andromeda Galaxy."

"Is there intelligent life in Andromeda?" Dunbin asked subconsciously after hearing this.

"some."

Zeus responded and continued his story.

"Just like the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, which inexplicably gave birth to a large number of indescribable creatures."

"About 100,000 years ago, an extremely powerful creature was born from the black hole at the center of the Andromeda Galaxy."

"This creature is the so-called Dream Weaver."

Zeus introduced.

"If the unspeakable creatures relied on their numbers to easily erode the entire galaxy."

"Then the Dreamweaver, with its terrifying ability to infect, quickly infected all the intelligent life forms that could dream in the Andromeda Galaxy."

"It will infect all intelligent life that can dream?" After hearing this, Dunbin showed an interested expression and asked, "How do you mean?"

Zeus explained: "The Dreamweaver has the ability to invade the dreams of intelligent life and absorb negative emotions from them."

"Of course."

Zeus added: "Like us humans, the intelligent life forms in Andromeda also rarely have nightmares."

"Even if they really do it, at most they'll just be frightened for a short while."

"Then, they will be awakened from their dreams."

"The negative emotions generated during this period were almost non-existent."

"Because of this, when the dream weaver is first born, it is still difficult to collect negative emotions from dreams."

"If we cannot collect negative emotions, the Dreamweaver cannot grow stronger."

"So in the early days after its birth, the intelligent life forms of Andromeda were able to fight against the Dreamweavers on equal terms with technology alone."

"In order to defeat the dream weaver, they even developed a device that can greatly shorten the sleep time."

“However, this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.”

When it comes to this.

Zeus pointed out the key to the problem and said, "Just like the indescribable creatures in our galaxy, the Dreamweavers are also omnipresent, have a nearly eternal lifespan, and can never be killed."

"So the efforts made by the intelligent life in the Andromeda Galaxy can only delay their demise, but cannot fundamentally solve the problem."

"After all, any intelligent life must sleep."

"Even if you use high-tech equipment to delay your sleep to a certain extent, delaying it does not mean that you will not have sleep."

"When they are tired, when it is time to sleep, they still have to sleep."

Zeus continued, "So over time, as the dream weaver collected more and more negative emotions, it began to use those negative emotions as raw materials to continuously weave various nightmares that were no different from the real world."

"When an intelligent life form is in a nightmare, if it is injured or dies, its physical body in reality will immediately suffer the same degree of damage."

"From now on, the death knell of the intelligent life in the Andromeda Galaxy has officially sounded."
