the days before i bought the galaxy

"Warren Slim?"

Huh?

Warren stared in amazement at the thing that shone like a halo of flames in front of him.When he was in the Galactic Alliance, he had seen many alien life forms, but this one in front of him... how did he make a sound?Warren didn't know that the other party mainly relied on spiritual power to deliver messages to believers, because Warren was not a believer, and this time he specially used a thermal sound generator to speak the language of the earth.

"Warren, be careful!" Lan grabbed Warren's arm in time, "The core temperature of this thing exceeds 30 degrees, and the peripheral temperature keeps changing drastically, which is very dangerous." The robot took a step forward and blocked Warren.

"God's guard?" Lan found the most suitable definition from the database.

The halo of flames flickered a few times, and the voice came out again: "Yes, I am the guard of God, and I have been ordered to invite Warren Slim to the side of the incarnation of God."

An invitation from God?

Warren thought for a while and asked, "How do I go? Can I bring someone else?"

"Your Majesty Jupiter and Neptune will work together to open a spiritual channel. You can only go alone. God has not summoned others."

If you use the spiritual channel, Lan, who has no spiritual power, will definitely not be able to go there.

Warren: "How long is it going to be?"

This time the halo of flames flashed for a long time, probably because no one would ask such questions before.What a glorious thing God's calling is, who cares how long it takes to go?Warren's tone seemed to be that he regarded God as an equal existence. The God's guard who suddenly realized this was stunned and stuck for a while before speaking again.

"I don't know, it depends on the will of God."

"If you want to do this, please wait a moment. I have to explain something to Lan, and the Slim family also needs to say hello."

Warren actually doesn't want to see God at all right now.He's only just started to really enjoy the holidays, and every day with Lan makes him feel more alive than before.However, considering that he ended the war in his own way, he should have a communication with God for reasons and reasons, and coupled with Ulysses' origin, it is not good to just refuse the invitation.

Then go for it once!

It took Warren about half an hour to make some necessary explanations. The guards of God who came to convey the will no longer knew how to treat Warren. In the past long years, no one has ever treated Warren like this. God's call.

After Warren indicated that he could go, the Catholic Guard numbly contacted the two archbishops to open the spiritual channel.This type of travel is no stranger to Warren.Unlike the last time Ulysses opened the passage when he was dying, the passage supported by the two archbishops was obviously stronger, and the spiritual body flew faster in it.In barely a matter of hours, Warren had reached the other end of the tunnel.

Where is God?

Looking at the strange starry sky, Warren couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

I don't know if I can find someone nearby to ask for directions.The Avatar is supposed to be a planet whose flames were moved elsewhere a long time ago.The last time he met with God, what Warren saw was a group of weak Holy Light, one person tall.Now that the guard of God said that he wants to go to the incarnation of God by himself, what kind of planet should he look for?Fortunately, it was the invitation sent by the other party, so someone should come to welcome it soon, right?

Warren walked aimlessly, thinking wildly.Warren was slightly taken aback when he saw two points of light appear in the distance and quickly approach him.He guessed that it might be the two archbishops who opened the passage, because as they approached, it could be gradually seen that they were two human figures covered in purple light.

The two of them moved forward quickly, side by side, as if teleporting short distances, and Warren soon realized that their height was not that of adults.

"We are ordered by God to take Warren Slim to the side of the incarnation of God."

The very similar faces, uniform movements, and almost overlapping voices indicated that the visitors were a pair of twins, about thirteen or fourteen years old.What surprised Warren even more was that their facial features were very similar to Ulysses, even more so than the similarity between Ulysses and Aurora.

"Are you...?" Warren was in a daze, his mind full of Ulysses' faces.

"We are trainee archbishops." The two answered together, but did not introduce their names.Their expressions were nonchalant, as if they were oblivious to Warren's emotional ups and downs.

Warren couldn't help but ask, "What's your relationship with Ulysses?"

"Sir Ulysses was a great man."

"Her Majesty Ulysses has fallen!"

This time the twins gave different answers, the eager one glanced at the calm one, and then they exchanged eye contact for a while, then shut their mouths together.

Warren felt that there was something strange in this, so he decided to change the direction of the cliché: "Aren't there always only twelve archbishops? What is the job of an apprentice archbishop?"

"Since nine archbishops died in the war, the archbishops decided to slowly add new ones. We must go through a long period of practice and trials before we can become true archbishops." The voices of the twins merged into one again.

"I see." Warren nodded, "Please lead the way!" His expression suddenly became very cold, as if there was no need to talk nonsense with the other party.Warren watched the fleeting look of sadness on the face of one of the twins.

"The planet in front is the incarnation of God." After walking a short distance, the twins stopped and pointed to a planet full of holes.They walked away without looking back, leaving Warren standing where he was.

Warren walked to the side of the incarnation of God, waited for a while, saw that the planet did not respond, and asked curiously: "Aren't you going to show the holy light this time?"

"The so-called holy light no longer exists. Those who I have given eternal life already know about it, but they don't want to make it public." God's voice was weaker than last time, "They even plan to disappear after I Then carry out a reform, first the number of archbishops, and then use new teachings to restrain believers."

Warren raised an eyebrow, thinking it was a good thing.In the beginning, the Holy Light Sect was just a toy in the hands of God, existing to feed His favorite creatures.Now, the influence of God is gradually disappearing, and the archbishops hope to guide the believers to develop in a good direction, and reform is imperative.It is estimated that it was because the result of the war broke the original established destiny that the three surviving archbishops who originally belonged to the Destiny faction made up their minds.But there was one thing he had to figure out first.

"Are you going to stop them from doing that?" Warren asked.

"No, I'm about to die. What the universe becomes has nothing to do with me. I have more important things to deal with on the other side."

Warren nodded in understanding.God’s situation is like an accident in a vacation. No matter how much you like the vacation home in the virgin forest, you still want to go back to your family at the end of your life.

"Then do you know how the archbishops plan to restore their numbers?" Warren's heart was pounding, but his tone became more casual, "Will they use the items left by the fallen archbishops to make copies of themselves?"

Warren still remembers that Ulysses said that his earrings are part of his body. He has already verified with Odin that Aurora did take Ulysses' earrings when the accident happened. Maybe this is the key. ?It is absolutely impossible for the twins to have nothing to do with Ulysses. Would this be similar to the technology of cloning people on Earth?

God was silent for a while, and then said in a dumbfounding tone: "You don't know? So you don't know how the Amethyst family reproduces!"

Warren was stunned: "Should I know?"

"I thought that little guy would be happy to have a second-generation body with you, and you must have known his plan."

"What exactly do you mean?" Warren felt that what he didn't know was an extremely crucial thing. "Does the Amethyst family refer to the original race of the archbishops?"

"Yes. Almost everyone in the Amethyst family has a compassionate temperament. They are very suitable for me. So I found them, and in just tens of thousands of years, they promoted their civilization to the peak and completely got rid of the body. In the last thousands of years of the Amethyst civilization, they almost completely got rid of the pain of childbirth, the population did not increase or decrease, and only death brought new life. Then I let them see the horror of war, because only In this way, when I give the survivors eternal life, they will be grateful and deeply feel my greatness. After that, their number has remained at twelve, which is my favorite number."

"How did the Amethyst family reproduce? Are the current archbishops planning to do that? Or..." Warren's eyes flashed with shock, "Or is it that Ulysses has already done this?!!"

"Well. Their reproduction method is similar to that of people on Earth, but the process is a little more complicated, and it only relies on spiritual power. The fusion with the partner's spiritual power will make the mother body disappear, and at the same time bring two second-generation bodies, one with all the memories of the mother body , one has all the power of the mother. The one who gains memory usually stays with the partner, and the second generation who gains power can become one to three independent third generations through one self-reproduction, and the third generation is siblings. relationship. The process from one generation to three generations is a reproduction."

"So Ulysses can't be said to be dead?!" Warren was extremely surprised.

"As a first-generation body, he did disappear, but Aurora brought back two second-generation bodies produced by him. This method of reproduction is related to the special environment on the home planet of the Amethyst family, which also caused the Amethyst family It can produce offspring with almost any race, and the resulting offspring only inherit the mother's lineage."

"Then why didn't he tell me?"

"This is probably because the second-generation body that has been passed down to memory is very weak and needs protection all the time. This period of weakness may last for thousands of years. When it is impossible to confirm the partner's intentions, the weak second-generation body sometimes would rather Spend the period of weakness with the second generation who has gained strength."

Warren's mind was so overwhelmed by the news that the rest of God's words of self-consciousness went straight into one ear and out the other.Realizing he couldn't expect much end-of-life comfort from someone he thought was so different, God let Warren go.

One of the two second-generation bodies can be regarded as Ulysses himself!

Warren walked forward in a daze, until he saw the twins appearing in front of him again, and then suddenly came back to his senses!

One of them is Ulysses!He didn't intend to be with me, but with uh...he and my offspring!What a muddled account!No, the important thing is not this!

Twins: "The spiritual channel to go back is..."

"Ulysses!" Warren grabbed the hand of one of the twins, and the other's expression changed instantly.

"..."

"..."

"How do you know it's him?" The other twin glared at Warren.

Warren: "...come back with me!"

"Warren?!"

"I want you to go back with me, and I will protect you from harm, just like what you did to me when I was a child." Warren's thoughts suddenly became clear, "You are my friend, You are someone I care about. To me, you are a very, very special existence. When I heard the news of your death, I was... almost... Anyway, the pain made me despair. Ulysses, I love you, please come back with me, okay?"

The fingers caught in the palm trembled slightly, but fortunately, the thinking didn't last too long.

"Ok."

"I'm going too!" shouted the other twin, but he was quickly defeated by the eyes of Warren and Ulysses.

"Let's go!"

Warren held Ulysses' hand tightly, and this time he decided not to let go.
