Soul of Burning Steel

Mill Habs, who was half kneeling beside everyone, had been listening quietly all the time, but he didn't feel ignored. You should know that the one who is talking now is the Mother of the Atrium, and the number of people is so strong that one person can resist a fleet. As the most powerful psychic on a mere planet and a descendant of countless generations of the Mother of the Atrium, he is really not enough in terms of identity and strength, and it is normal that he can't speak. But even so, when Mill Habs listened to Joshua's words, he couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

— exposed!

——Sure enough, this void life has revealed its true nature! I just said why the terrifying aura that eroded the psychic light beam only appeared for a moment at the beginning of the summoning, I really thought he had good intentions... I didn't expect it to explode here. This guy who takes pleasure in destruction wants to see We will perish together with the Void Mother Beast!

Mill Habs, who felt that he had already guessed the truth, remained silent. He didn't even dare to change his expression, so as not to let others see his thoughts. The Supreme Consul planned to keep this secret in his heart and only told a few close friends .

On the other side, both the mother tree and Nostradamus were equally silent about the several suggestions made by Joshua. With their wisdom, it's not that they can't see the strength comparison between the two sides, nor can they understand why the fighters have such judgments, but both of them feel that there should be a better solution to the matter.

"It's too simple... Now we don't even know what kind of life the Void Mother Beast is. How can you make such a simple judgment."

Nostradamus put his hands on his hips and rubbed his forehead with one hand. The old mage looked very distressed: "This world is very wonderful. The sky is not a plane barrier that separates the void from the world, but layers of thin atmosphere and In a vacuum environment, the spherical world uses gravitational force to attract life to survive on the surface of its body... The spatial scale of this world is too large, and many of my experiences are useless."

"The only good news is that the energy model of this world does not conflict with the Mycroft Continent, and I adapt quickly."

While speaking, Nostradamus was surrounded by layers of faint blue runes, and it seemed that he was modifying some of the spells he had mastered in real time to deal with this strange world.

Joshua understands the distress of the other party - a legendary mage from a small high-energy plane in the round sky, after coming to a super-large low-energy world of stars, will definitely experience shocks of common sense again and again, and Nostradamus will naturally not Headshot for such a trivial matter, but there is no doubt that most of his combat experience over the past few decades has become meaningless.

Facing battleships that are several kilometers long, and ultra life forms that are tens to hundreds of kilometers long, is it meaningful to care about the ingenuity of some small spells? The flash used to evade the enemy's attack originally only needs to be teleported a few meters to avoid it, but now if it cannot be teleported for a few kilometers in an instant, it may not even jump out of the enemy's attack range, and the large buff aura that can cover several kilometers is in place It is naturally effective in the face of national wars, but it is so small that it is negligible on the scale of the universe, and so on. Because of the drastic change in scale, Nostradamus felt that his own strength might not be able to exert 5% of his original strength. Ten, and this is why he is distressed.

"...It's not that you can't consider your opinion."

On the other side, the will of the mother tree was silent for a long time. After a long time of thinking, it said so in the shocked eyes of Mir Habs - not only the highest consul was frightened, but even Hotaru and Rin were shocked. Looking towards the main body of the maelstrom mother tree with 'terrible' eyes, but the ancient aggregate will not interrupt its words because of other people's gazes, it continued: "Just now, we had a meeting in the body , and the conclusion is that "the continuation of the atrium civilization" is the top priority. It is not that the civilization perished at the hands of the giant void, the long history turned into unknown dust floating in the vacuum of the universe, and the loss of 90% of the population is not It is unacceptable, there is nothing terrible about self-detonating the parent star, let alone detonating the sun of the colony star."

"You're right. We don't have much choice."

The mother tree's voice was slow but extremely firm. It talked to Joshua, making the warrior feel that millions of eyes were staring at him from the other side, and he looked at the souls of those ancient people in the middle court without fear. Those souls spoke at the same time and made the same voice, and the mother tree said: "Since you are not afraid of death, then my death is not a big deal. However, Void beings, I still have a request, I hope you can agree."

"Say it."

Joshua responded: "I answered your call, so I will naturally fight for you. It just so happens that I also need your help with something, but you should say it first."

"Then, please go to the Mother Tree Hall."

The mother tree replied: "Only there can I display my true strength, and you can really help me."

Joshua and Nostradamus looked at each other. Both of them maintained their own strength and were not worried about dangers and accidents, so they both agreed to enter the Mother Tree Hall. In fact, for the two legendary powerhouses, it is not difficult to travel around the stars. If it is not an extremely extreme situation, they can travel the universe and even the multiverse at will. Therefore, the maelstrom, which is difficult for ordinary people in the atrium to pass through, is nothing but flat ground to them.

With just one breath, Joshua brought Hotaru and Rin to the surface of the sea, and the old mage followed closely behind him with Mir Habs. In the next breath, the group of people had already arrived at the center of the vortex, and at this moment, an extremely thick wooden giant tree root system with a diameter of more than 50 meters had just emerged from the huge vortex, and it was not until a few seconds later that the tentacles There is a deep hole where several people can walk together.

"That is... the direct passage to the Mother Tree Hall!"

Mill Habs, who hadn't reacted yet, spent about a tenth of a second thinking about how he came to the center of the maelstrom with every breath, but he is a super psyker after all, and his reaction speed is extremely fast, so Then subconsciously introduced: "As long as you enter it... ah ah ah ah!"

There was a sudden scream, and when Mill Habs opened his eyes again, it had already come to a huge room made of natural expansion of wood. In the center of the room was a strange plant structure that resembled a flower. On the ground, the silver-blue spiritual energy continuously gushes out from the flower core, and then condenses into a small anti-gravity silver sphere in mid-air.

There is no doubt that this is the rumored Mother Tree Hall. With the speed of the two legendary powerhouses, they could naturally arrive at their destination before Mir Habs finished speaking.

Contrary to what Joshua imagined, the mother tree hall didn't have any special conspicuous features, except for the flowers in the center and the compressed psychic light ball, there wasn't any other special places, but it seemed to have felt Joshua's doubts , The voice of the mother tree sounded again: "The so-called hall of the mother tree is inside my body. It is opened temporarily every time, so there is indeed no decoration."

"Now, Joshua, touch that ball of light."

Hearing the mother tree's slightly urgent words, the soldier raised his eyebrows slightly. He could see that the mother tree's mood was a bit weird, but Joshua didn't care about such things, so in the next moment, he had already arrived at the huge flower. In front of the flowers, reach out to touch the silver ball of light.

The giant flower in the center of the mother tree hall is similar to a sunflower. Except for the petals on the outside, the flower disc is full of dense crystal dots. A trace of materialized spiritual energy is used from the crystal, and then gathers into the silver ball. Joshua Ya didn't feel any abnormality at first, but when he approached, the soldier suddenly realized that the silver ball of light had already begun to smell like the power of steel!

"It seems that spiritual energy in this world is not only related to pure will and soul, but also has a certain relationship with matter."

This speculation is not surprising. If psionic energy is really pure spiritual power, then it is absolutely impossible to affect matter as easily as it is now. It must have some materiality, but now, it is only possible to have materiality His psionic energy was about to be condensed into the purest power of steel, which shocked Joshua.

However, shock was nothing but shock, he still stretched out his hand and touched the light ball of steel power.

Therefore, light and shadow change.

In the void of the multiverse, a world of endless stars.

In a corner of the macrocosm, in the cantilever of a certain river system, in a star system illuminated by an orange sun, fifteen planets, large or small, rotate in a vacuum. The huge main-sequence star generously spreads warm energy to its children, and because of this energy, there are traces of life on its fourth planet.

This planet, which is completely composed of blue and green, has a satellite that is a quarter of its size rotating, and 70% of its surface is covered by blue sea water, and the land is covered with dense vegetation. jungle. Whether it is mountains and hills, cliffs, river canyons, swamps and quagmire, giant trees and shrubs everywhere are tenaciously alive. They are rooted in rocks or mud, mountains or hills. Even in the desert, these plants are still alive. It will stretch its branches and leaves every morning, bathe in the brilliance of the sun, and then absorb the nutrients from the earth to make itself thrive.

A unique ecological environment will naturally form a unique life, and there may be extremely dangerous predators among them. But what is different from everyone's imagination is that these seemingly ordinary plants are actually the most dangerous predators themselves. When the sun is still high in the sky, everything is very ordinary, but when As the sun sets and the moon hangs high, sharp thorns, sharp sawtooths, and even huge and terrifying mouthparts will begin to grow on the surfaces and branches of these plants.

These different kinds of ferocious plants will hunt each other in groups under the moonlight. They will use their sawtooth, poison, and sharp thorny roots to fight. The loser will be the fertilizer of the winner. , the weak plant community has only the fate of being swallowed up by other plants, and only the strongest can survive.

The "Central People" race was a member of this cruel natural selection in ancient times. They are not the most powerful on this planet, but they are the smartest.

The ancestors of the people in the courtyard were a group of plant life with gray fibrous skins. They had a tree-like body, but they had two more branches that could move freely, with a large number of dexterous tentacles evolved from the root system. These plant life that can use developed root system to move on the ground rely on a natural psionic vision to observe the world, and their sensitive thinking center can sense the abundant free energy in the surrounding atmosphere, and chase these free energy to migrate.

With psychic powers, wisdom, methods of observing the world, and accumulated experience in using tools... The civilization of the people in the atrium slowly developed in the gentle sunshine, until millions of years later, a group of The sages called the pioneers by the people in the courtyard unified their own tribes and created the original tribal system.

The development of civilization is explosive. It took more than four million years for the Atrium people to transform from moving plants to the most primitive civilization, but it only took them more than a thousand years to develop from primitive tribes to feudal kingdoms Year. And the following one-to-one camera transitions show that an atrium scholar is adjusting the focus of his telescope under the gaze of the king and several nobles, wanting to witness the honor of the gods in the sky with his own eyes.

However, it doesn't see anything. In other words, there is simply too much to see. When the eyes of the people in the middle court broke through the atmosphere of the parent star for the first time and came to the vast void of the universe, these plant life with gray fiber skins were shocked to find this point: there are no gods in the sky, and some are just a star. Another dead and huge star. Undoubtedly, this incident was a fatal blow to the ancient theocracy of the Zhongting people. Countless Zhongting people who longed to meet the gods after the sudden atmosphere all abandoned their faith in despair and chose to self-destruct.

Then, there was a bright light.

Joshua stared at this ray of light. He is now in the memory fragment of the power of steel given to him by the mother tree. When he saw the past history of the people in the courtyard, he thought that the mother tree knew that he would die, so he planned to transfer its own database. Part of it belongs to him, ensuring that even if the atrium civilization is completely destroyed, there is still a little possibility called hope. But unexpectedly, Joshua actually saw a more important scene.

That is the coming of the sages.

The arrival of the sage was nothing but a bright light. He just opened the gate of the void carelessly, and then stood in the lens of a telescope of an atrium astronomer, which undoubtedly shocked the other party. The sages also noticed this, and descended along the starlight, blessing this lucky world.

The process of the sage's blessing is complicated. He leads the divided Atrium people towards unity and sublimates their civilization structure, just like what he did in the world of Mycroft back then. But apart from that, one thing is simple, and that is the rise of a new theocracy. As the legends of the ancient gods of the Atrium disappeared after the real bodies of the stars were discovered, a new belief called the Void Saint appeared in this world. In fact, the thought trend of the entire Atrium Star was already close to materialism, but the sages The emergence of , directly elevated idealism to the highest level.

After helping the people in the atrium to solve some problems and building a high platform to leave a token, the sages simply and neatly tore apart time and space again and carried out his multiverse expedition, and the atrium civilization has continued for thousands of years after that , until now.

The illusion disappeared, and Joshua frowned, thinking silently. The mother tree sent him far more information than illusions. At this time, he saw the moment of every major invention of the people in the courtyard: the detection of psionic energy, the first psionic spell, the large-scale selection of psionic apprentices, entering the era of psionic industry, The jump gate and the jump engine... and so on. After years of research, the sharp technology finally has a perfect day. They even plan to create a huge immigrant ship, which is used to prepare to cross hundreds of thousands of light In the vacuum of the distant universe, look for the traces left by the saints in the past.

It has to be said that the people in the atrium do have unusual power. Although the mission of searching for the sages ended without a problem, they really summoned the family of the evil gods and even Joshua and his party by relying on the Void Gate Ceremony. This means that their The psionic system has extremely powerful potential.

"Just as you guessed... Joshua, the void life, I intend to put part of the history of the Atrium civilization on you. In this way, even if I destroy it, a part of the Atrium civilization will remain in you."

In the center of the mother tree hall, the flowers withered and the silver ball of light disappeared. Joshua felt a little bit of power and a huge amount of memory fragments in his body, and he shook his head: "It hasn't reached such a point yet, you are too pessimistic gone."

"This is prudence." The mother tree was not moved by Joshua's evaluation, it calmly said: "Psionic rituals have greatly enhanced your power, but this power will not last long, nor will you All-round blessings are on your body, so to be cautious, we must use the peak of the psychic light beam to bless you within a hundred days to destroy the Void Behemoth, or escape its pursuit."

"There is no doubt that the success rate of this operation is very unlikely, so I must prepare for the future."

Joshua did not intend to refute the views of the mother tree, everyone has their own views, there is no need to forcibly correct them. What's more, in essence, the people in the courtyard are plants with stiff heads? So he immediately changed the subject: "I promise you, if I don't die in this mission, then I will definitely build a library of atrium civilization in my world, record the history and culture you gave me, and ensure that you can There are also shadows left in other worlds. And now, you should help me."

When he said this, the soldier was suddenly startled. He suddenly recalled the "Continent of Disputes" he had played in his previous life, and also remembered the words he heard in the memory of the sage not long ago,

-Don't worry, the traces of the existence of Mycroft Continent will not disappear, as for the destruction, that is the business of future generations-

Such conclusive words came from the mouth of a long-gone sage, and the traces of existence in his mouth disappeared, could it be that...

"Please speak." When Joshua was halfway through his thoughts, the mother tree responded, "I will satisfy you as much as possible."

Joshua frowned and temporarily stopped the thoughts surging in his heart, and he immediately said, "Give me an engine, and I will learn to warp space."

Finally explained the pit of the game...
