traveler of time and space

After learning that he had become the designated heir to the first throne, the young man's face was not the slightest bit happy, on the contrary, his face turned pale, his expression was a little flustered, and he wanted to refuse when he opened his mouth. After the middle-aged man tugged his sleeve, he swallowed his words again.

The emperor of the empire is not so easy to be.

Once he succeeds to the throne, he is doomed to lose his freedom, because only the emperor can connect to the empire's spiritual attunement device, which is a stabilizer of the spiritual barrier. , but after the failure of spiritual ascension, it was transformed into a spiritual protection barrier, which can greatly strengthen the upper limit of the emperor's spiritual power, but it also means that the emperor's own spiritual whispers are more serious.

Members of the royal family are already extremely sensitive in mind, and if they are connected to this device, they can only enter the dormant chamber periodically to recover.

He didn't want to be trapped in that lifeless golden palace all the time. Compared with inheriting the throne, Prince William would rather be a free and idle fish.

At least he can still live like an ordinary person.

But it's a pity that no one cared about Prince William's attitude at all. After learning that Queen Isabella had appointed an heir, the others were obviously relieved.

The empire cannot yet live without an emperor.

The aftermath of the failure of psionic ascension is still affecting everyone. Only the emperor can stabilize the spirit of the people of the empire and restore their rationality to resist the ubiquitous spiritual whispers.

Here we must briefly talk about the virtual environment.

It is an extremely mysterious subspace, a vast and boundless spiritual world.

It also seems to be one of the sources of psionic energy.

When the spiritualism of a race reaches the full level and spiritual awakening begins to spread to everyone, they can choose to carry out a racial leap-forward civilization process——【Psychic Ascension】.

But the ascension of a race is not so easy.

Some lucky races can succeed, and some less fortunate people, like the empire, fell directly in the process of ascension.

The most important step in the empire's psionic ascension plan is "transcendence and sanctification", which literally means awakening the power in the deepest part of the soul, stepping into the realm called "holy one" and "chosen one", and then listening to the voices from the void. whispers.

The first emperor of the empire, Edward I was the 【Holy One】.

And what he has to do is to gather the spiritual energy of the entire race, and through special rituals to form an extremely powerful spiritual body beyond the boundaries of the material plane, thus entering a dimension completely composed of pure spiritual energy, this place It is the legendary [Virtual Realm].

The imaginary world is the plane that all races in the current universe must go through when choosing the path of psionic ascension.

But the virtual world is not a safe place, nor is it a paradise where you can get gifts casually. In the virtual world, apart from guides who have good intentions to guide people to ascend, an extremely powerful consciousness, similar to the gods In addition to existence, there are many unknowable subspace life forms, some of which are terrifying evil gods, or some indescribable terrifying monsters.

Only with the correct guidance in the virtual world, can the entire race gain higher-level psionic knowledge and spread this blessing to everyone.

Once successful.

The entire race will take a qualitative leap and directly enter the realm of advanced civilization.

But if it fails, the result will be the same as the current empire, and a powerful civilization may be destroyed in an instant.

The soul attunement device in the deepest part of the imperial capital was originally used to connect to the virtual world.

It can be understood as a man-made 'Alaya Consciousness Body', that is, a collection of human pan-consciousness, led by the powerful spiritual body of the emperor, and eventually formed a very powerful spirit body that can move freely in the virtual world spirit body.

of course.

For more than 3000 years, this device has never been fully activated again, and it is now only a protective barrier.

The fall of the empire began when Edward I returned to the real world from the imaginary world. No one knows what kind of existence Edward I signed a contract with in the imaginary world.

but.

According to rumors, there is also a hidden record inside the royal family, which is named - [Whispers of the Void].

After Edward I returned from the void, ominous signs began to appear throughout the empire.

The nobles became more and more depraved. They were addicted to luxury and pleasure, and they didn't care about the life and death of the people at the bottom.At the same time, a strange madness began to spread within the empire, and no one cared about it at the beginning. Those crazy people just succumbed to their own desires and became slaves of desires, either bloodthirsty, greed, or lust , these characteristics are already obvious in nobles, and almost no one deliberately pursues them.

until one day.

When the gathered negative desires began to explode, and even affected the empire's psychic attunement device, an extremely terrible disaster came.

The Psychic Attunement Device is a shared device.

It can connect the spirits of the imperial people to a certain extent, and store excess spiritual energy in the Alaya consciousness body, forming a stable imaginary spirit body.

in this state.

The emperor of the empire will have theoretically close to infinite spiritual power. Even if the emperor's spiritual power level is only level 7, he can continue to output spiritual power without limit according to the standard of a level 7 psyker. The Emperor's power points are unlimited.

He may not be able to use more advanced psionic spells, but as long as he can cast them, they are endless.

As long as the spirit can bear it, 1, 1000, or [-] million spells are not a problem.

and so.

When one day, Edward I was also infected with madness, a terrible disaster came.

at this time.

Only then did the survivors of the empire realize the outbreak of the whispers in their hearts. They found that the strange whispers began to pour out from the depths of their hearts, making people shudder, gradually going crazy, and losing control.

The current psychic attunement center has shut down 90% of its power.

Queen Isabella only serves as a barrier to stabilize the mind, and the spiritual bodies that the empire once gathered in the virtual world have long since disappeared. I don't know if they dissipated naturally or were swallowed by some monster.

Anyway, the original generation had died long ago, leaving only the remains of a former king lingering on this planet.

A failed psionic ascension.

It directly led to the fall of a powerful empire, and also created an extremely terrifying ancient abomination.

Chapter 24 Natural Disasters

on the battlefield.

Accompanied by Queen Isabella's high-pitched roar, thousands of knights brandished dazzling light blades and rushed towards the ancient abomination in front of them.

The heavy Titan also suddenly accelerated, and with agility that didn't match its huge size, it swung its huge plasma lightsaber and slashed at the enemy in front of it at a distance of several hundred meters.Almost at the moment when the dazzling light beam obscured the line of sight, its left hand quickly changed into a black hole, and a deep blue electromagnetic light emerged. At a distance of less than 100 meters, this Titan moved towards Edward I. Three shots were fired in a row.

hum.

Click.

An extremely shocking scene appeared on the battlefield.
