A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 340 The Swarm Mastermind is Too Terrified

The followers of the Return to the World Church explained with disdain: "Central Court, you are too superstitious about the role of barriers, almost to the point of omnipotence. Unfortunately, it is ultimately nothing more than a lie that only works for ordinary people."

"Barriers are of no use to the Outer Gods. They didn't notice us before simply because we were too insignificant. But as long as we can stir up even a small ripple in the turbulent universe, the Outer Gods will take notice of us."

The end of the world has come, the Outer Gods have descended, and everything will be destroyed. The Central Court's long-standing protection has become a joke—all of this makes the Central Court's prophet tremble with rage.

"The Return to the World Cult! Don't you always claim to be righteous? Is this your righteousness?"

The Gui Shi Sect shouted, "This is all your fault! If it weren't for your Central Court's obstruction, we would never have allowed this second plan to proceed!"

"You think you're insignificant enough, that as long as you maintain the existence of the barrier, the Outer Gods won't notice us. But have you ever considered that our blind survival until now is nothing more than good luck? When the day of bad luck arrives, the Outer Gods will notice us, and then our civilization will perish."

"Aren't you doing things that will lead to the destruction of your own civilization?" the prophet of the Central Court questioned.

The followers of the Guishijiao (Return to the World Church) did not shy away from the topic and openly admitted it.

"It is being destroyed, but it can be reborn after it is destroyed."

"Rather than waiting for destruction to suddenly arrive without any resistance or preparation, it is better to prepare for this destruction to come sooner, and then be reborn from the ashes."

……

The Central Court obtained a lot of information from the followers of the Return to the World Church.

Unfortunately, this information was outdated and meaningless after the Outer Gods descended.

What good is it if the outside world comes and civilization is destroyed, but the barriers still hold?

In contrast to the despair on the Central Court's side, the International Space Observatory was unusually happy.

While they were saying goodbye to their families on what felt like the end of the world, they suddenly received a message from the International Space Observatory telling them to come back immediately because the satellite had changed.

When these people rushed back and saw that the entire satellite was no longer spherical, but rather resembled an open flower, with the scorching hot core of the star being the stamen of this giant flower.

Normal celestial bodies certainly could not exhibit such a spectacle, so the only explanation is that it was the work of extraterrestrials.

Thus, the existence of extraterrestrials was directly proven.

"They really are aliens! My guess was right! We're saved!"

"Don't get too excited yet. We don't even know if they're willing to talk to us or let our civilization go."

"At least they are people we can communicate with; the mere existence of this possibility is something to be happy about."

If this was a man-made event, then maybe if we talked to the aliens, they might be in a good mood and let the Pulan civilization go?

Like seeing a glimmer of light in the pitch black, the International Space Observatory immediately restarted the extraterrestrial civilization exchange plan that had been aborted years ago, and then contacted various countries.

Should we ask which countries support this?

Of course I support it! Who would want to die when they have the chance to live?

We're already at the end of the world, so since there's a way, we might as well try anything.

This resulted in the International Space Observatory acquiring vast international resources in a short period of time, and the plan was implemented very smoothly.

The International Space Observatory's plan for communication with extraterrestrial civilizations is simple: first, launch a satellite to let the aliens on the other side know through regular signals that they, the Pulan people, are intelligent beings who can think, communicate, and are different from advanced intelligent beings who only have simple animal intelligence.

Then, relying on the regular signals from that satellite, they developed a language to communicate.

If aliens can read regular signals, then the language they develop based on reading those signals must have a lower barrier to entry than ordinary communication.

Just as the Pulan people had planned, the satellite approached the orbit of the star that had transformed into a giant flower, successfully entered orbit, and then released regular signals.

Everyone at the International Space Observatory was eagerly awaiting the giant flower's response, and everyone subconsciously held their breath in tension.

"Signal received!"

Play now!

Hearing the strange, nauseating sounds coming from the player, everyone's anxiety instantly eased.

The aliens were willing to communicate with the Pulan people! They didn't simply treat the Pulan people as inferior beings and ignore them! Although the information they received seemed erratic and was irritating and nauseating to listen to, being able to accept their messages meant that the extraterrestrial civilization's communication plan was halfway to success!

However, before the people of Pulan at the International Space Observation Center could rejoice for long, a horrifying scene unfolded.

Everyone's body is melting!

"No! My body is melting!"

"Help!"

"Help me!"

Just like ice meeting high temperatures, the Pulan people present were melting at a visible rate.

This is a scene that is completely incomprehensible to the Pulan people!

Starting with the International Space Observatory, this ablation phenomenon has appeared in every Pulan person on their home planet.

All the people of Purang are inevitably heading towards death, including Stiel, the Purang man chosen by the bees as their medium.

Stiyl was reinstated as sheriff. He had assisted the Central Court in the events involving the Church of the Dead, and under the manipulation of the two Prophets, he operated as an unofficial member of the Central Court. His subordinates also returned to the Central Court through its operations.

But who would have thought that before Stiyl could even rejoice at the return of his good days, the catastrophe of the Outer Gods suddenly struck, and the whole world was heading towards chaos and distortion.

……

To protect civilization, the Central Court wanted everyone to be blind. The Church of the Returning World, wanting civilization to confront chaos, made a desperate move by summoning the Outer Gods. The Outer Gods noticed that a small group of unruly beings dared not join in the grand symphony for the greatest being in the universe, and extended their tentacles. Stiyl, the sheriff, thought he could finally escape that terrible thing...

They never imagined that what they hoped for would not come to pass.

"It appeared just as expected!"

"Just as I suspected!"

Seeing that her chosen medium, Stiyl, was about to follow in the footsteps of the other mediums and die, the mastermind, Kasha, was immediately excited.

"Civilization destroyed, and they pull off this elaborate scheme to fake an accident? Do you think I wouldn't see through it? It's organized! It's premeditated! And it's organized and premeditated, all under the close surveillance of the swarm!"

Kasha made this judgment based on the intelligence she had gathered.

There is a rebellious force in the psionic network universe. After receiving information from the swarm, they learned of its existence. On the surface, they cooperated obediently, but in secret, they were accumulating power, striving to resist the swarm's control over this universe!

That's why they secretly hinder the swarm from acquiring more information about the universe, and disguise it as various accidents!

In this way, everything makes sense!

Kasha immediately relayed her judgment based on the information to the rabbi.

"Countless individuals throughout the swarm have been deceived for so long; this is already a force of ordinary resistance. We don't even know how long that civilization in the universe has been plotting this. This could very well lead to a containment breach!"

Rabbi immediately took it very seriously. Similar things had happened many times before. Even when absolute physical control was exercised over all the creatures in the civilized breeding farm, containment failures had occurred.

Rabbi said to Kasha, "I'll strike hard to intimidate them first. Go and call Lu Shang over quickly."

"good!"

After responding, Kasha then relayed a message to Lu Shang.
