Warhammer: Rise of the Star Gods

Chapter 192 Year of Silence

The pandemic stopped evolving but was not taken back.

This toxin infection acting on the subspace has continued intermittently for a hundred years, along with the disorderly waves of the Sea of ​​Souls.

During this period, many civilizations could not bear the consequences of trade suspension and social shutdown. They tried to secretly violate the ban issued by the alliance, and were completely eliminated by the Necron Legion.

Massive amounts of jade-shaped crystals collide and connect in the Sea of ​​Souls, forming large floating objects that seriously endanger subspace waterways and local ecology.

For these sources of pollution that could not be dealt with, the gods of the Spirit Clan and the Magic Wind Sect teamed up to push them to the corresponding location in Zhang Lingyou's area, waiting for professionals to recover them.

Crocker ultimately did not survive, and the belated treaty failed to save his life.

After the lizard people spent all their prophecy skills and 800,000 extremely talented tribesmen, the Spirit Empire and the orcs paid a large amount of resources and transferred dozens of star areas as guarantees, Zhang Lingyou finally agreed to let him go.

The weak soul returned to the withered body. Crocker was filled with regrets and his mental state fluctuated.

After suffering on the bed for several years, Crocker died of mental failure.

There is no one with weak character who can step into the existence of a secondary god. The Shi Lan clan felt that this was Zhang Lingyou breaking the contract.

However, the later injury examination and confrontation had nothing to do with the Star God. Zhang Lingyou even agreed to enter the prophecy formation. The two sides verified each other one by one under the authenticity formation, proving that Crocker was the one who couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Finally, Zhang Lingyou stood in the void and spoke to the entire Slan clan: "What does Crocker's death from overwork have to do with me? He doesn't know how to combine work and rest. How old is he? He still has a glass heart. .”

After taunting him, Shi Shiran stepped forward and walked away slowly.

. . .

The phase sickle sat in the center of the array, watching Zhang Lingyou gather and refine the white jade. The purified spiritual energy and vitality were mixed together and sealed into the corresponding nodes.

"How accurate is your prophecy?"

"Less than half (five percent)."

Zhang Lingyou played with a bead, and the inside was turbulent, as if it were a living thing.

"It's better to find a coin and toss it. At least it will be half."

Gray Feng thought about it for a long time and finally discovered the problem, so he took advantage of the situation and took advantage of Zhang Lingyou. He naturally knew how difficult it would be to activate the prophecy without psychic power.

Zhang Lingyou's face darkened, and this accuracy rate was used as psychological comfort in times of trouble. The mist faded from the fingertips, and he raised his hand to throw it. The soft energy wrapped the beads and sent them to the side of the phase sickle.

"Here you go."

"This is...that old guy Crocker? How did you extract the soul?"

Gray Feng thought that the other party did not die suddenly naturally, but he did not expect that Zhang Lingyou could avoid detection and extract the soul of the secondary god and bring it back.

"When this old guy wanted to measure me, he was deceived into the magic circle. I later imitated his soul, reverse-projected it, performed a second resurrection, activated the vitality in his body, and forged the illusion of return. The reason why The reason for arguing with the opponent is to buy time and leave room for the closing."

The work in hand stopped for a moment, and Zhang Lingyou said with a smile: "Those three old men are probably waiting for me to play with prophecy and burn themselves with fire. If these three can't see it, then don't live anymore."

After adjusting the equipment and releasing the feedback mechanical creation, Zhang Lingyou stopped the operation of the advanced technological equipment and began to use backward but reliable technology.

The phase sickle was a little surprised. He looked around and saw that the space was filled with rich vitality, which was incompatible with the previous dead atmosphere.

"Shouldn't this batch of energy be used at will? If you draw them out in advance, wouldn't it harm the plan?"

After temporarily changing his body, a simple Han sword was vaguely formed. It lasted for several breaths, but finally felt uncomfortable and returned to the form of a long-handled scythe.

"Just take a look at the plan, don't really implement it. With all due respect, the reason why the Star God and the Ancient Sage met their final fate back then was inseparable from their belief in the plan."

"You are a bit too arrogant. There are so many heroes, and their power together is omnipotent, and their power is far superior to yours. Isn't it wrong for you to comment like this?"

Gray Wind pointed out the omissions in Zhang Lingyou's words mercilessly, thinking that this little partner was lost.

"It is precisely because that group of beings are so talented and full of self-confidence that they overturned the ship. They all believe that they have reached the top of the world and the end of evolution, so everything they hear and see, and the data they get are correct. Yes, it is real. Therefore, there is no need for later self-test and verification steps.”

Zhang Lingyou kept working, then paused and continued: "You have also seen that guy from the future. Do you still think that the Ancient Sage or Star God has really reached the peak?"

These words touch on a very important issue - how to prove that what you see and hear is true.

Some people think that rigorous mathematical argumentation can do it; some people think that a complete technology tree can avoid risks. But only at a higher level of life can we truly avoid illusions as much as possible.

Not caring about the technology of backward races is not arrogance, but it has no reference value.

The ancients who believed in a round sky and a square earth may have been wrong; if a person with "modern scientific common sense" is thrown into a small space, his theory may also be wrong.

The so-called "big data" is a summary of data within its capabilities. What is beyond the scope cannot be determined.

The small scope means that it is likely to unfortunately fall into a special area where the rules exist but do not apply.

How terrible is it that the basic data of a technology tree is an erroneous and deformed array?

Zhang Lingyou has done an experiment: in a square space, through special additional rules, the local civilization can be made to think that its world is a round sky and a square place in the first stage; in the second stage, it thinks that what is under its feet is a planet. Rotating around the star; only in the third stage will the essence of the world be discovered - just a square space.

As expected, the first and second stages of this civilization developed normally and thought they were prospering. After breaking through to the third stage, fierce conflicts broke out between the people at the top and the people at the bottom, because the new answers subverted everything in the past and negated their past efforts and sacrifices.

Civilization, which requires no external intervention, will naturally be destroyed by civil war.

The ancient sages thought very directly. No matter what, they first reached the state of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, and then summarized. Otherwise, the more you do, the faster you will die.

Because of this, after discovering that there was no way forward, they all felt that they had reached the end and it was time to develop technology.

This kind of self-perception cannot be verified. After all, these creatures themselves are far stronger than most high-precision equipment.

But they may have forgotten, maybe the logic is strict enough, or maybe there are no more resources. No one thought that dozens of god-level creatures were far from enough to exhaust everything.

Zhang Lingyou from the future, the purpose of sending messages is not only to change the past, but also to remind his past self that he has not reached the end of evolution, and what he sees may not be true.

When Gray Wind woke up from a dream, he was horrified to find that without Zhang Lingyou's reminder, he could not even remember such a big event.

"Sorry, I can't remember..." Hui Feng wanted to apologize, but Zhang Lingyou interrupted him.

"It's okay, I know you can't remember it. Because I will also forget it, and then suddenly remember it again."

This sentence is not to give Hui Feng a step down, but to tell him that his future self is reminding him of his present self. Otherwise, if the power genealogy of both parties is the same, why would there be a phenomenon of remembering again after forgetting?

"Then if you don't use the auxiliary technology, you will be at a disadvantage."

"Aren't there humans out there? This race also has psychic potential, which can be used just in time. Don't tell me, those three are really a pain in the ass."

While talking, dozens more blueprints of the technology tree were sent to the Martian dragon. It would be responsible for passing on these technologies to humans, and another copy to Vashto.

After doing all this, setting an alarm clock for fifty years, Zhang Lingyou is going to retreat. The mockery towards Slan was effective very quickly, and some unsavory but very practical methods flowed into his ears along with the curses, which was the template for good on-site teaching.

The Milky Way rotates quietly, and all living things are born and destroyed. It is difficult to eliminate the pandemic, but it can infect the host. The Spirit Empire opened its vassal borders and allowed the Necrons to launch a great purge.

The reason why they did not send troops is simple - their own army wants to purge their own people.

Compared with the poor people at the bottom, the nobles were extremely excited and provided "help" to the cleaning work intentionally or unintentionally. For example, ask Laojun to stop working for a while, have a meal, drink some wine, and watch some singing and dancing to relax.

As for how the infection will spread and how many people will die, they don't care.

The material output of the small world is too abundant. In just a few hundred years, more than a dozen new marquises with fiefdoms appeared in the spirit tribe.

Commoner geniuses are also part of the spiritual empire. If these people "die of disease", wouldn't it mean that the nobles would lose a group of despicable people who compete with their descendants for quotas?

The nobles did not hinder the clearance work. They just saw the Imperial Army working hard and wanted to do their best to help.

After mankind has suffered a loss, the current situation is turbulent. Be careful that all the efforts of the past generations will be ruined. In desperation, Sigma stepped to the stage and personally took up the position of "Lord of the Sun", in charge of all the power of the financial, military, political and political parties.

Orr and others asked why not just become the emperor. Now that there are nobles who can take the blame, wouldn't it be better to be the emperor? The princes can also use them as new vests, saving time and effort.

The big brother said that Zhang Ling had persuaded him, "Don't be the emperor. This position is really unlucky." Since the Star God had persuaded him, it was inappropriate. Anyway, the emperor has been around for thousands of years, so it doesn't matter whether he has a title or not.

Under Sigmar's stewardship, an organization called the Crimson Walkers was formed in the Rooftop region of Terra, dedicated to promoting human superiority and preserving human culture.

The real core of the organization is the power-operating mechanism formed within the framework of the religious association. To avoid taboo, the outside members call it the "Palm Seal Order".

In the Central Plains region of Cathay, a comprehensive institution called "Shanhe University" was built.

In addition to recruiting 100 million more people; the area is larger; there is no principal, only a vice principal, whose teaching director and other positions are held concurrently by the Sigma Team; from time to time, a few students will pop up with fantastic ideas and are extremely interested in scientific research. Talented students; being able to cooperate directly with the Longtooth Chamber of Commerce, and having a massive amount of extraterrestrial resources to lean on, it is not much different from other schools.

Oh, the school uniform of this school is also very distinctive. It is a low-key dark red. It also has another name - Mars Red. It is said that the color is a pigment with special meaning prepared to commemorate Mars, which has been protected by the force field of prehistoric civilization and cannot be logged on to this day.

The school recruits young people of the right age from all mankind, and there is no requirement for family background. Anyone who is not a pervert with a twisted mentality can enter and study. For students who come out, the coalition government will allocate jobs according to the application form.

As a comprehensive university, Shanhe University naturally produces mid-level and high-level officers to fill the reserves of the expeditionary force.

With talents, resources, and support, Terra's technology has developed rapidly in a hundred years of peace, and novel theories continue to accumulate, waiting to be transformed into strong productivity and war mobilization force one day.

Compared with humans, who are aggressively expanding their population and developing new planets, the Eldar and Orcs have chosen to improve space technology.

The Necrons learned some of the means to protect their small worlds and formed an academic exchange meeting with the Mars Department. The iron-clad army and the rebels sat together and held discussions together. In order to show friendship, the two sides even kept their ceremonial weapons inside the tomb, driving their living metal bodies to hold meetings together.

The subspace maintains its own characteristics: valuables appear frequently and conquests continue.

Burning flames of war are a common sight in the Sea of ​​Souls, and fighting, killing, and conspiracy form a symphony of daily life.

The Sea of ​​Souls has been a lot quieter recently. It's not that the Eldar came out to clean the caves, but that the Children of the Stars launched many extermination wars.

Subspace is a reflection of the real universe, with its own ecosystem inside. To put it bluntly, there are just a large number of unregistered demons. It is impossible to verify how many demons have been eliminated. It does not mean that there are as many as there are demands for.

Therefore, it was normal for the past wars to destroy cities and strongholds and plunder strength and savings, but they would not wantonly exterminate the life in the city.

You know, it is rare to build a city in this ghost place. The purpose of changing the flag is to support war with war. Demons are cannon fodder, consumables, and resources. It can be consumed, not wasted.

The Church of the Children of the Stars attacked several times, using a strange blue flame to burn creatures and destroy the environment. A large number of war engines were also created. The strange green flames were so thorny that if the energy body got in contact with them, they would be transformed from the inside out, turning them into mindless puppets.

There is no difference between this thing and the plague. The expansion and growth of the green flame are shrouded in a thick fog. No demon can live to see where the energy of the flame flows, and no demon can know what will happen after being burned. Demons, where did their vitality go.

Vashto sat on the Pope's throne, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The first batch of goods had been shipped, and he had already given instructions to his superiors. According to the contract, the remaining resources are its own.

Now it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

PS

The Sigilbearers have been on Terra for tens of thousands of years before the Emperor's appearance on the planet. They are committed to collecting, saving and protecting the greatest historical artifacts and ancient advanced weapon technologies in human history, waiting for the day when the preserved knowledge will be returned to mankind.

The Red Walkers are a cabal of psykers, genetic scientists, and war warlords who serve as advisors to the Vizier, the last tyrant of Terra's Age of Strife, creating war machines and genetically mutilated biomonsters.

A small complaint, GW's Necron novels have so many loopholes. They are a bunch of iron chops holding high-tech weapons, but they just don't use them.

The Burning Hand is a Necron artifact of immense power. This glove was made by the necromancer Harry Apter, and contained a set of multi-dimensional space-time converters, creating a miniature space-time channel that connected the interior of a star. The stream of plasma fire within the Perseverance that erupts from the gauntlet is restrained by a force field, which restrains it and spurts forward, forming an unstoppable cloud of incandescent gas. This weapon may now be used by Storm King Imotekh.

Then the Storm King fights with people, never using his weapons, just displaying his weapons.
