Did the worm king lose his horse today [Interstellar]

With every step forward, every time he passes through an illusion, Bai Guang's consciousness becomes clearer.It condensed into a human form several times and tried to contact Gu Yue and Gu Jiurong, but still couldn't speak clearly.

After a certain illusion passed, there were more cracks in the white light.Each time, four or five huge cracks appeared out of thin air, in different directions of the city.

Every time the white light condenses into a human form, standing beside one of the gaps, it seems to be silently leading them there.

Whether it can be trusted, no one knows.But apart from the different directions in each illusion, there is no difference.

So the swarm carefully followed its guidance.As time went on, there were more and more gaps, and they were almost groping in a huge and endless maze.

Every night Gu Jiurong could hear the ticking of the clock.

The sound became louder and louder as they advanced, as if lingering in their ears, every sound was disturbing.The ring that I carried around began to resonate with it, and it became slightly hot every night, shining with a strange brilliance.

Such days have passed for a long time, not to mention that their concept of time has been completely distorted in the illusion, and no one knows how long the outside world has passed.Maybe the alliance has received a distress signal and is coming, maybe they don't have more power to rescue them, so they can only abandon the people here.

These have nothing to do with Gu Jiurong and Gu Yue for the time being, they are not in a hurry to leave.

It wasn't until half a month or a month later that things turned around.

After the turbulent insect swarm broke through barriers and tore away the starship of this unseen civilization, Gu Jiurong clearly felt the message from the white light.

He was at the very edge of the city at this time, Gu Yue went to study this civilization again, and was not by his side.

As soon as he turned his head, the barely congealed human figure stood behind him, and the edge was still surrounded by white light that quickly escaped into the air.

This time it opened its mouth, and finally had a clear voice: "You...your mental power...is very strong." It spoke slowly, and like Celia, it had the same slow feeling of being unfamiliar with this language, and it was weird. The accent, the voice seems to be agglomerated by countless different individuals, "In your, civilization... that's what it says?"

It doesn't even use human language, but the mental fluctuations of the Zerg itself.There is very little communication between the insect kings, but there are still special fluctuations when they are in contact with each other, which can be called simple language.

"You and your army..." it continued, "follow me..."

"What are you?" Gu Jiurong asked, "Where are you taking us?"

"...Follow me..." Bai Guang said, "We will give you...everything you want...your ring is ours..."

"Why, do you want to take it back?" Gu Jiurong squinted his eyes, the scarlet color surged in it, and the insects were eager to try.

"You help us...it doesn't matter if you give it to you..." The human figure made of white light took two steps towards him, but the brilliance on his body became increasingly dim. "Other things are fine...our civilization is worse than yours... There are human beings who can achieve things that you can't do."

"Then why do you want me to help you?"

This time the white light paused for a long time before answering: "We... are trapped." The light on it flickered again, and finally went out completely and drifted away.

After Gu Jiurong went back, he told Gu Yue about this matter.

Gu Yue pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at him: "Do you still want to move forward? Now we know how to break the illusion, the signal can be sent out, and you can leave whenever you want."

Gu Jiurong said: "It's not that you want to see what happened to the Fallen Empire? You said that this is a great threat to the alliance."

"What I mean is," Gu Yue stroked his tail, "I don't know what dangers we will encounter any further. Now we have confirmed that there is indeed something that can restrain the fallen empire here, and follow its guidance Go on, maybe we will be trapped too."

Gu Jiurong twitched the tip of his tail: "We have all broken the illusion and come to this point, why do you suddenly regret it?"

Gu Yue smiled and said nothing.

But Gu Jiurong suddenly remembered the attitude that Bai Guang had shown these few times, that he just wanted to find him alone.From its point of view, Gu Yue didn't seem to be of any help to the situation.

Gu Yue must be worried about whether he will encounter any danger.

So Gu Jiurong tugged on Gu Yue's tie: "It's okay, I want to know this secret too. After all, I died because of this before." The swarms of insects took off outside, and the sky was dark, "One day Maybe even the Fallen Empire is mine. Didn’t you tell me before that one day the entire universe will be my territory.”

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You still remember this sentence, I said it casually at the time." He pinched Gu Jiurong's face, "I was still thinking about sending you to practice conducting, Maybe he will become a commander in the future."

"I played the simulated battle game so badly at that time." Gu Jiurong rolled his eyes, "You are the only one who has such inexplicable confidence in me."

"Speaking of this," Gu Yue said, "It's no wonder you were so bad at playing the game of simulating commanding a fleet, and your brain circuits are different from normal people." He narrowed his eyes, "You haven't told me, you When did you know your identity, from the very beginning?"

"No." Bringing up this topic, Gu Jiurong hurriedly rubbed against Gu Yue's body to show his friendliness, "I only remembered that day when the Ark was attacked by the Fallen Empire."

Gu Yue wrapped his arms around his waist: "I haven't asked you for the interest that has been lying to me."

"What are you going to do?" Gu Jiurong immediately became alert.

"Touch the wings for me."

Gu Jiurong: "...you have already touched your tail, why do you want to make an inch of it?"

Gu Yue smiled: "Haven't you ever fought a war? The so-called war is to be fought every step of the way. When you belong to the territory, isn't it the same reason?" Although he was talking about war, there was something different in his eyes Guang Guang, "I also want to put you in the territory."

Gu Jiurong was stunned.

Gu Yue's hand on his waist was extremely hot, he suddenly broke free as if he had been scalded, and ran away holding his tail.

The white light becomes more dazzling day by day. After each illusion is broken, the entire space is filled with its surging spiritual power, and there is a wonderful brilliance on the street.

Gu Jiurong became more and more sure of his own judgment. This is a collection of countless fallen people, but for some reason, they are not independent individuals at all, but blend together in the form of spiritual power.

If we use human analogy, they are like an existence that is piled up, stitched, and dissolved with different pieces of meat, which is extremely terrifying.But since the fallen people are all spirit bodies, it doesn't look too frightening, just weird.

Finally, after the swarm followed its guidance again and came to a new illusion, Gu Jiurong saw a special building.

It is completely black, standing at the end of the world to the sky, surrounded by white light flying like flowing water, even if it is so far away, there is enough oppression.

Taking a closer look at the surrounding structures, this place turned out to be a building in the Fallen Empire.

This is their first entry, the illusion of the fallen people.

In this illusion, the cities of the Fallen Empire don't seem to have much defense force—even so, the swarm has been engaged in a bitter battle for several days, day and night.

White lights danced in groups in the city, and swarms of insects rushed to the towering buildings like waves, attacking, retreating, and attacking again and again.

Gu Yue's strategy saved the Zerg from the dangerous situation time and time again, and accurately attacked the weakest point of the fallen fleet.But after all, he couldn't help Gu Jiurong in person. Under the long-term precise and high-intensity command, Gu Jiurong's spirit reached its limit on the day the battle ended.

Gu Jiurong fell asleep in Gu Yue's arms when the few remaining bug swarms cleaned up the mess and relocated to the mother nest to reserve power.

He dreamed of many things, dreamed of Shao Yufeng, dreamed of Celia, dreamed of the eyes he saw in the vast space many years ago.

When I woke up again, the sun was warm outside.Gu Jiurong was sleepy-eyed, barely looking up against the sunlight——

Those eyes that he had been thinking about for many years were looking at him.

Keep your eyes on it, and it won't look away for countless years to come.

Gu Jiurong was stunned for a moment, until Gu Yue touched his forehead worriedly: "Are you all right, still not feeling well? Do you want to sleep again?"

"It's okay." Gu Jiurong sat up and yawned, but finally came to his senses.The swarm welcomed him warmly and told him of his new discovery:

On the edge of the city, in the dark buildings he saw before, they saw countless fallen fleets.

Those starships parked quietly in it, every inch of streamline is perfect, and it is the pinnacle that other civilizations cannot understand.

Two hours later, Gu Jiurong and Gu Yue appeared in the dark building.

As soon as they stepped into it, the lights lit up with their footsteps.Gu Jiurong doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​how they burn and the fuel they burn. If he reaches out and touches them, he can clearly see the light flowing through his fingers, with tiny waves and twists.

Gu Yue didn't speak all the way.

They advanced in silence, and the fallen ships showed their whole picture in front of them, neatly arranged here, waiting for the next time to spread their wings and fly through the sea of ​​stars.Gu Jiurong stretched out his hand to touch the shell of unknown material, it was very smooth and delicate, without any flaws.

It was these huge guys that crushed the civilizations of humans and Zerg time and time again.Gu Jiurong looked up and saw a battleship hanging directly above, the bottom was pure, flowing white.

Gu Jiurong took many steps back but couldn't see the whole picture of it clearly. It took several 10 minutes until the flying dragon flapped its wings to figure out that the white was not the bottom of the starship.

That's just a simple sign.

The white that Gu Jiurong sees is a small corner of it, and even if you look far away, you can't see what the sign is, and how big this ship is.

The dragons skimmed the silent arms of the battleship, the brilliance of the stars brewing in them, they had torn everything apart, and could penetrate the Leviathan's body with a single blow.

In addition, there are strange but flexible single-person ships, smooth and narrow frigates, and the famous unmanned fleet of the fallen empire——

They are all connected to each other by spiritual power, like another kind of insect swarm, but with the purest metal brilliance and technological power, something with a strange algorithm is directing them, it is called a supercomputer belonging to the fallen empire, Or some special spiritual body, enough to see everything about the enemy.

This is the shipyard of the Fallen Empire.

Walking through it, everyone will hold their breath involuntarily. This is the most advanced civilization in the existence of known life.Even the huge ark where the alliance is now is from their hands.They are unchallenged and immortal.

After the initial shock, a certain idea crept into Gu Jiurong's heart.

Isn't this the Eternal Dock that Ye Zhengqing once told him about? !

If it can control this place, even if it does not continuously produce fleets as rumored, it will still be terrifying enough to shake the universe.And many theories suggest that it's not entirely impossible for humans to direct them.

Now this power is right in front of Gu Jiurong.

"You... are very close..." At some point, the human figure made of strange white light reappeared.This time it stood next to a one-person starship, and its figure became more and more dazzling.

"This is our civilization... once..." it said.

Gu Jiurong suddenly said: "You said that you can give me whatever I want, right?"

"As long as...you help us..."

Gu Jiurong said: "Then I want this dock and all the fleets in it."

He didn't know if the other party would agree to this request.After all, this is the most powerful force of the fallen empire, and the fleet is densely parked in the dock, and it is scary enough for a small group to go out—the eight light-weight frigates almost destroyed all the strength of the Ark back then.

Bai Guang was silent for a moment: "You... want this?"

"Why, will it work?"

For the first time, Bai Guang showed something close to a smile, although to it it was just a slight sway of brilliance: "Of course...it's just a dock, a small gadget not worth mentioning."

Radiance swayed, and it continued: "You...can ask for more..."

"It's not necessary." Gu Jiurong said, "I won't try to control things that are completely out of control. You should know what I'm talking about best, right?"

The white light fluctuated violently, the brilliance flashed again, and it disappeared completely.

There was silence in the huge space.

The conversation just now Bai Guang spoke in the spirit of Zerg, Gu Yue asked: "What did it talk about?"

The two walked towards the upper floors of the dock at this time, looking down at a dark abyss below, surrounded by metallic hulls.

"It's nothing." Gu Jiurong replied, "It said before that I can put forward any conditions, so I asked it for this dock."

"What do you want the dock for?"

"Here you are." Gu Jiurong said, "Look at you, you have a fleet to command."

"..." After a brief moment of stupefaction, Gu Yue frowned slightly: "How could you agree to its conditions for such a thing, human beings may not be able to command the fallen fleet, and this dock is nothing..."

Gu Jiurong hugged him violently, and interrupted him: "Don't you want to continue commanding the fleet? Although I don't know if it will succeed, it won't hurt to try, there will always be a way."

Gu Yue felt helpless: "But you can't..."

"I can." Gu Jiurong rubbed against him, "I'm the king of alien races anyway. I always thought you should continue to be a commander. It's too condescending just to teach me tactics. I'm not smart. can't keep up with you."

Gu Yue was stunned, rubbed his head and smiled: "Thank you for thinking so much about me."

"The you in the past are not so different from the one you are now. You all liked star seas and adventures. If Zuo Ziming can make his name in history, why can't you?" Gu Jiurong said persistently, looking up at him, "Others They don't even know you, so they can only look up to you forever on the earth."

"And I want to see, I want to see how you command the fleet in the star sea. This is the journey I'm really looking forward to."

He wanted to see those proud eyes again.

This time they will no longer be enemies, they are comrades in arms delivered by life and death.

There was silence all around, and the soft white light illuminated them, falling on the whole body with a little haze.

A worm king with vast spiritual power, enough to cause a large-scale evolution of the population, and a commander whose talent has not been surpassed so far, behind him is a fleet that can shake the universe.

Just by listening to it, one can imagine how a new era is slowly opening.

After a long time, Gu Yue leaned over slightly.

His movements were very slow, as if he was giving Gu Jiurong time to refuse.But Gu Jiurong did not leave his embrace, but hugged his hands even tighter.

In Gu Yue's eyes are the sun and the wind, the strong wine that he drinks, and the 3000-year-old starlight. Gu Jiurong stares at it almost greedily and fascinated, wishing to fall to his death in it.

All sounds are silent.

He kissed him.
