Chapter 704 Eldar Hegemony

 Witnessing "Annihilation" that instantly destroyed the civilization of his own world, Dark Star Lord questioned Lu Yao's identity, and the answer he received plunged him into a long silence.

Lu Yao continued to tinker with the [shrine machine] happily.

This device originates from the Eldar race. It has a simple mechanism and can be driven without the need for divine power. It just needs to be set up with divine principles first. It is the center of the divine realm, capable of radiating over a large area and capable of containing the civilizations of various worlds at any time—as long as enough psychic energy is invested.

Lu Yao summoned Baroye. As a remnant of the Eldar race, no one knows the things of the Eldar race better than it.

The little man in yellow stands next to the Eldar device like an electric tower, with a yellow exclamation point lighting up on his head.

 “[Shrine Machine]!”

 It knows.

 Lu Yao felt relieved.

The exclamation mark on Baloye's head quickly turned into a black mess.

“Is it...currency? No, energy...nor, technological wonders..."

“What it is, it feels like something very important…a strategically important facility…”

It is lost in talking to itself.

Lu Yao's heart tightened and he felt something was wrong.

 Will it be down now?

 Is the pressure for relevant information so great?

Strange symbols and stars popped up on Baloye's head. After a while, it gradually stabilized.

“Big boss, Barroye has successfully retrieved relevant information! Barroye is stable! Barroye has not collapsed!”

 It took some credit first.

“[The shrine machine] is a strategic spiritual device that integrates energy, currency and technology.”

“If there is no [shrine machine] or such authority carrier, the spirit clan cannot directly invoke spiritual energy. It represents the spirit world’s leadership over a certain regional space.”

 The words on the collector’s head kept emerging.

“Psionic energy is an energy carrier made and defined by the spiritual world. It is a powerful and pure advanced energy that matches almost all existing substances and can also be converted with known traditional energy sources, such as the power of faith, world stones, etc.”

“On the other hand, psychic energy is also the official currency of the spirit world, and many trades and exchanges must be completed through psychic energy.”

"[The Shrine Machine] can call up and store spiritual energy, not because of how powerful and sophisticated the device itself is, but because it is bound with identity and authority, and can be connected to the divine kink [Ling Gong]. Just like a The psychic energy stored in the account opened in [Ling Gong] cannot be stolen by the outside world."

An excited smile appeared on Baloye's head.

"Big boss, you have controlled the [Soul Machine], which is equivalent to obtaining a high-level status as an Eldar. From the information I obtained, this is very important. There is a huge difference between the Eldar with and without the [Soul Machine]. And There are also very strict conditions for the authorization and issuance of [Soul Machine]... If it were the situation of the Yao civilization, [Soul Machine] would probably only be held by special law enforcement agencies like the "Investigation Bureau". "

 Law enforcement agency’s... law enforcement certificate?

Lu Yao immediately thought of the classic old movie "Men in Black". As a special police force specializing in dealing with aliens, men in black often erase the memories of onlookers and kill dangerous aliens who have seriously violated the law on the spot.

 【Shrine Machine】comes with the miracles "Thought Overwriting" and "Annihilation". The former can rewrite people's cognition, and the latter can be used to destroy civilization. It does feel a bit like a law enforcer.

“Earlier before, [the shrine machine] was once a symbol of the Eldar’s hegemony.”

Baroye continued: "The spirit world has integrated and absorbed many intelligent groups, thereby formally establishing the concept of the spirit race, and opening up a vast territory in the virtual and real universes, in which the [shrine machine] played an indispensable role. As long as a shrine machine is established in a world, its radiation range will be an extremely stable territory in the spiritual world."

 Lu Yao understands.

This thing comes with [Annihilation], which is simply a super turret. With sufficient psychic energy, if the target has no defensive means to target, the end result will be like Dark Star Lord's [Pawn 9].

What he is more concerned about is that the spirit race in the spirit world originally absorbed and annexed many races through conquest and colonization. Not all spirit races are like the dragon race, created by the spirit king.

"Yes, Big Boss. However, the information permission level is very high and I cannot obtain it. I only know that the Eldar Tribe was very large in the past and had branches of various ethnic groups. The Giants and the Dragon Tribe are two of the young new ethnic groups. "

Barroye added: "Big boss, although Barroye doesn't know the reason, Barroye knows that the [shrine machine] is the key to touching and unlocking many areas of the spiritual world. Please reserve more spiritual energy. ! It will definitely come in handy in your grand plans in the future!"

 Lu Yao recognized this.

　　【The Shrine Machine】has a "psionic scanning" capability, which can search for traces of psychic energy in the space, which may be related to some high-authority places or props.

the most important.

 "Annihilation" is too powerful!

This psychic miracle is considered by the Dark Star Lord to be the power of truth. If [Red Void Bullet] is a range attack, then "Annihilation" is a precise and fatal destruction.

 The more spiritual energy reserves the better!

Lu Yao waited until [Lord of Tide] took a break from mining and gave him new orders.

 From now on, all mining proceeds will be retained in psychic form.

 “Yes, Lord Zhengshen!” The blue-skinned bald man took the order.

Lu Yao glanced at the upper right corner again.

 At present, the faith reserve is about 6 billion, and it is enough to save a little in the short term.

 Now is the time to get back on track.

Lu Yao traveled all the way to the [Strong Repulsion Zone] to see if he could find an ascending dimensionality reduction world.

 This task must continue.

 …

 In response to Lu Yao’s question, Dark Star Lord replied.

【have. But most of them were destroyed in the "Ruins Hill". 】

　　　【Only a few of them can complete the dimensionality reduction, but usually they become fragmented after leaving the "Ruins Hill". I found the "Shrine Machine" in one of the worlds that was on the verge of destruction. 】

　　【If you want to capture these worlds, you may be disappointed. Most of them have been damaged during dimensionality reduction, and most of them are not only worthless, but also bring all kinds of chaotic rule interference and pollution overlap. ]    Having said that, the Dark Star Lord sent a world called [Dark Star·Pawn 2] to lead the way for Lu Yao.

This dark star world continues to sink.

About forty minutes later, it arrived at a black and white area, where there was a weird white structure, like clusters of white paint splattered on a black wall.

The difference from graffiti is that it is three-dimensional, with spatial vortices at the end of the edges, like some kind of strange flower clusters growing out.

They stretch their bodies like some kind of mutated starfish, but these white substances are connected to each other. Below them are strips like rhizomes or branches, extending all the way to the extreme depths under the void.

 【Pawn 2】Be careful to avoid these white blocks along the way.

 Lu Yao moved the mouse on these white structures, but did not get any feedback from the simulator.

  【Pawn 2】then a dialog box will pop up.

　　【These are the "Xu Veins" that grow out of the "Xu Qiu". They are weird living creatures that constantly twist and change their shape under regular gravity. They usually look like grass or flowers like this. 】

　　【It's best not to touch them. "Xu Veins" will stick to and wrap the world, and will also attract and entangle all surrounding "Xu Veins", making it almost difficult to break free. 】

　　【The twisted space at the end of the "Ruins Vein" is one-way passages. I don't know where they lead, but if the dimensionally reduced world below comes here, this one-way passage is the most likely chance of survival. 】

The Dark Star Lord warned earnestly.

Lu Yao clearly felt that the [Annihilation] display worked.

Although the Dark Star Lord was still polite and polite before, he was not as conscious and peaceful as he is now, and he has lost the confidence and arrogance that he showed intentionally or unintentionally.

 【Person 2】sinked flexibly to avoid the "ruin" that was like a tree in the void. After an hour-long trek, it finally stopped slowly.

  【This is "Xuqiu". 】

 The lower half of the screen is a field of white hills. These hills are moving very slowly, like some kind of solidified waves, or like there is something underneath carrying the mountains on their backs.

This is also the source of the "Xu Veins", these huge plant-like white substances that grow sparsely on the "Xu Mounds". Most of the ruins veins will twist and hug each other as they extend and grow upward, and then they can enter the upper area. They weave a white jungle in the black void area.

 The bottom of the entire [Strong Repulsion Domain] is a white area that looks like clay. It seems to have turned into a fluid under some force, and no other abnormal traces can be seen on the surface.

Lu Yao still cannot obtain any information here through the simulator.

 He logged into the committee's database and searched for [Xuqiu] and [Strong Repulsion Domain].

 The information obtained is still the same as before, and Xuxiqiu has found no such information.

Lu Yao suddenly thought of a question.

The pull of the ruins hill and the capture of the many tentacles of the ruins veins made even the sailors sweat profusely. Even the Dark Star Lord was extremely cautious. Those newcomers to the unstable world of dimensionality reduction can really break through this Layer blockade? It feels like a completely impossible task.

  Dark Star Lord replied.

As the world reduces its dimensions and rises, it will form a vortex from bottom to top, at least that's what it looks like on the ruins hill. This is also their only chance. If they cannot break through before the vortex channel is closed, they will be buried and covered by the ruins. 】

I see.

 Now that we understand the general situation, what should we do next?

 According to the previous plan, we were to wait and see.

The more Lu Yao understood the situation in Xuqiu, the more he felt that the probability of waiting for a rabbit was too small.

It would be better to let Dusky Star Lord, a local, help keep an eye on it.

  【Yes, if you find the corresponding world, you can pay the equivalent resources. 】

It’s done.

 I looked at it, tried it, and took a trip to the border of the crawling area.

 Lu Yao was preparing to sail away.

 He took another look at "Xu Qiu".

 The white mud sea flows calmly, raising hills that rise and sink slowly. It seems that there is some unknown force undulating and jumping below.

An image flashed in Lu Yao's mind.

Kali once said that the **** beyond the "grey horizon" is a sea of ​​mud that will spread and grow.

The "Ruins Hill" and "Rust Vein" here are very similar to the characteristics of hell, except for the color difference... Is it possible that the other side of the bottom of the "Rust Hill" is the gray horizon where the demons are?

This bold idea immediately made Lu Yao energetic.

 He pulled out the [Demon Badge] and placed it on the surface of the world of the Long Cavalry Marshal.

 After a moment, a tornado blew up from the badge, and out of the wind came Kali with eight hands and a skull necklace hanging around his neck.

 “I just finished the battle over there and I’m so tired...What can I do?”

The Demon God had a yawning and sleepy expression on his head.

Lu Yao pointed out the "Xu Qiu" below to it.

"This...is this the Gray Vision? How did you become a demon? No, that's not right, there can be no such kingdom of God in the Gray Vision."

 An exclamation mark lit up on the eight-armed demon's head.

 “This is not Gray Horizon!”

“But this place is very similar to the underworld in Gray Vision... This feels so weird... What is going on?”

 The devil has a question mark.

Kali said: "I have to study it carefully."
