Chapter 380 The Decaying World

The absolute material experiment of the Star Tower is still in progress. All matter in multi-ring planets will be imbued with spirituality and become one of all things.

 These all things are the source of the energy of all things.

 So it is really not an easy task to strip away the spirituality from all things. Even if countless stars work together, the process is still slow.

but.

 Duke on the other side led the abyss fleet to explore the multi-ring planet, but the progress was rapid.

After the nineteen abyss ships entered the cold desert continent of the air star, a second group of stars soon drove the abyss ships and passed through the Wall of Sighs to reach the cold desert continent.

　　A total of thirty-five stars have officially established the outpost of the Seven Towers Federation in the Hanhuang Continent.

The native wilderness gods and primitive tribes of the Cold Desolate Continent were quickly conquered by the stars and began to serve the outpost.

at the same time.

Duke once again reorganized the Abyss Fleet and began to travel through the Wall of Sighs, preparing to return to the Wilderness Continent of Earth Star. With the first experience, the Dark Energy Tower has been further improved, the Aria positioning system has become more accurate, and the Abyss Fleet can avoid most dangers.

only.

This return journey did not return to the Wild Continent of Earth Star, but to a new ring world that Duke did not expect - the Wild Continent of Blood Star.

 “Sir Speaker, what’s going on?” The stars were confused when they landed on the barbaric continent.

I thought I could return to the Seven Towers Federation after passing through the Wall of Sighs, but instead I entered a brand new ring world.

“I don’t know.” Duke responded simply. “More experiments are needed.”

Then the stars found a spiritual spring, replenished the spiritual energy of their respective abyss ships, and began the third grand operation to cross the Wall of Sighs.

This time, it’s still the wall of sighs that came when I came back.

SELSUS sighed with emotion: "Whether we return to the Qi Star Wild Continent or enter a new ring world depends on the outcome of this action."

“We can definitely return to the Seven Towers Federation!” Duke encouraged.

However, after experiencing the crisis at the edge of the rules in the Wall of Sighs, the Abyss Fleet once again entered a new ring world - the Primordial Continent of Spirit Star.

 This time.

 Duke was also speechless.

"Could it be that the worlds connected to the Wall of Sighs are random?" Some stars raised objections. "If it were not random, we actually only passed through a Wall of Sighs. If it were random, how many worlds would we have to travel through? Can I return to the Seven Towers Federation?" Some stars lamented.

There were also Qunxing who didn't care and said: "It doesn't matter whether we go back or not. This new world is pretty good too. The aura is very rich. It is worthy of being the great continent of spiritual stars mentioned by the Speaker."

“Yes, the entire continent here is under the influence of the spiritual spring. It is very suitable for humans to live here...but it rains easily.”

 “Let’s find a place to establish an outpost, and then check to see if there are any natives.”

 “Aren’t you in a hurry to go back?”

"There is nothing to be anxious about. Anyway, there is a clone staying in the Seven Towers Federation to take charge of the work. So what if I can't go back for a while."

 When the stars no longer need to control the abyss ship, they can still activate their own copy rings and return to the Seven Towers Federation in a clone.

 Not quite lost.

Moreover, Duke's real body travels through several ring worlds and uses his own starry sky to carry necessary living supplies, so the situation is really not that bad.

Then the stars looked at Duke: "Sir, what do you think?"

Duke frowned and pondered for a moment, then responded: "Whether crossing the Wall of Sighs is random or not requires further study. Everyone, first replenish the psychic energy of the Abyss Ship. Then regroup and set out with me to the Wall of Sighs again."

“Do you want to continue traveling? Don’t travel to the Black Wasteland of the Death Star next time.” A group of stars reminded me.

"Don't worry, this time we are not going through the Wall of Sighs, we are just exploring the Wall of Sighs. I need to collect more information to find out the rules of the Wall of Sighs." Duke said, Xiaoyi has summarized the previous three traversals. data.

 But it still lacks some key data to support its calculation of certain rules in the Wall of Sighs.

 “Okay, then take the time to rest!” Sirsus was full of confidence in Duke.

The Abyss Fleet took a few days to replenish their psychic powers, and then followed Duke towards the Wall of Laments.

Then he jumped repeatedly in the Wall of Sighs, constantly collecting information on the edge of the rules.

 It took nearly half a year to cover almost all the Walls of Sighs in the ocean around the ancient continent.

During the period, there were also some abyss ships in the Seven Towers Federation, exploring and studying the Wall of Sighs in the Great East China Sea, the Great West Sea, the Great South China Sea, and the Great North Sea, and submitted the data to Duke.

So, a little bit of data about the Wall of Sighs at Night.

Finally, in Storm Calendar 4484, when Duke was eighty-eight years old, Xiaoyi completed the data analysis of the Wall of Sighs and calculated the rules for crossing the Wall of Sighs.

"The Wall of Sighs is the boundary and passage of the ring world. At the same time, its passage opens with the movement of the moon's orbit and the sun's orbit." Duke told everyone the rules, "Usually this passage is one-way upward, and a ring world only Can permanently travel to another ring world."

“In other words, the Wall of Sighs in the Earth Star Wilderness Continent can only go to the Air Star Cold Wasteland Continent?” Selsus asked.

"Yes, the Earth Star can only go to the Air Star, the Air Star can only go to the Blood Star, and the Blood Star can only go to our current Spirit Star. If the rules are correct, the Spirit Star can only go to the Death Star."

“In that case, doesn’t the Death Star only go to the Earth Star?” Some stars’ eyes lit up.

  “Not necessarily.”

 “How do you say, go to the Speaker?”

"The passage pattern of the Wall of Sighs is to travel upwards, which is related to the positioning of the ring world itself. In this set of positioning, the Earth Star Wilderness Continent is the lowest known ring world, and the Death Star is most likely the highest. The world may not be able to communicate with each other.”

 “How to calculate the positioning level of Ring World?”

"There is no special calculation method. We can only rely on the rules of the Wall of Sighs to infer this positioning sequence... But this is not important. What is important is that when the orbits of the sun, moon and multi-ring planets are in a line, the passage can be reversed. .”

“In other words, the 1st and 15th of every month?”

"almost."

 “It’s not necessary to have a solar or lunar eclipse, right?”

“According to current speculation, it does not have to be a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse.”

"Then what are you waiting for? It's the 15th of this month soon, let's go!" The stars can't wait. Although the ancient continent is full of aura, it is still an uncivilized land and there is no entertainment except hunting.

 Duke said happily: "Okay!"

Subsequently, on September 15th, the Abyss Fleet successfully arrived at the Wall of Sighs in the Endless Storm. Relying on several improved iterations of the Aria positioning system, it began its fourth operation to cross the Wall of Sighs and successfully completed the crossing.

"Compared to the first time, there are more dangers. Now I am more and more familiar with it!" Selsus laughed, "Duke, do you feel it? The concentration of spiritual energy in the sea has dropped, and the aura of the spiritual beasts in the sea is strong. There’s no doubt about the Blood Star!”

 “Great, we successfully returned to Blood Star!”

“After half a month’s rest, we can start our journey back to Qi Star. A month later, we can lie down on the big bed in our Crystal Palace and sleep comfortably!”

all the best.

 On October 15th, the Abyss Fleet officially returned to the Earth Star and flew towards the familiar wild continent.

Facing the successful return of the Abyss Fleet, the Seven Towers Federation held a grand welcome ceremony at the port of the return island city.

"The successful return of the Abyssal Fleet indicates that we humans have successfully conquered the multi-ring planet, which has opened a grand curtain for the era of expeditionary colonization!" The host of the Seven Towers Optical Television Station sang in full during the live broadcast. .

certainly.

The stars have not forgotten the only abyssal ship in distress and its pilot Torres Crocodile.

"After unanimous approval at the Stars Conference, the first manned abyss ship that is about to be completed will be named after Torres Crocodile." Duke announced the Seven Towers Federation's interest in the Stars at the subsequent press conference. Ways of mourning.

In the process of crossing the Wall of Sighs many times, the Abyssal Ship was also updated and iterated, and the development of manned Abyssal Ship began.

Hunters are still piloted by Stars, but the previous Abyss Ships were all driven by Stars, driving an Abyss Ship.

 The current manned abyss ship will be driven by three stars.

 One Star is responsible for steering the ship, and two Stars are responsible for maintaining the energy form of the Abyss ship and ensuring the safety of the passengers in the cabin.

“After the manned abyss ship is launched, the Seven Towers Federation will implement the immigration plan and transport people to the cold desert continent, the barbaric continent, and the prehistoric continent for habitat reclamation, so that our human footprints can be spread throughout the multi-ring planet.”

 Accompanied by a speech by Duke. The Seven Towers Federation has officially launched the mighty era of great immigration. The national propaganda machine is turning on its wheels, and countless people have signed up enthusiastically.

Of course, Duke will not have to worry about these general affairs.

He has another research plan that needs to be managed, which is to explore the lower ring world of the earth star and the upper ring world of the spiritual star.

"I lit up nearly a quarter of the stars in the dream sky, but there are only earth stars, air stars, blood stars, spiritual stars and the four-star tree king. There is no tree king from any other world. Does that mean, A multi-ringed planet with only five ringed worlds?”

With such doubts, the Abyss Squadron began to cross the Wall of Sighs on a full moon date and headed towards the lower world.

Then.

In the Wall of Sighs, everyone battled wits and courage with the unpredictable power of rules, and then returned to the Earth Star.

“Sir, Sir, we have passed through the Wall of Sighs, but it seems we are still on the Earth Star?”

 The ordinary fleet staying outside the Wall of Sighs also proves that the Abyss Fleet has indeed returned to its original place.

Duke shook his head: "Huh, it seems that there is no lower ring world. Our Earth Star is the lowest ring world."

This result is not too disappointing to anyone.

So the Abyss Fleet began to pass through the Wall of Sighs normally, arriving at the Qi Star, the Blood Star, and the Spirit Star. Finally, it passed through the Wall of Sighs again and entered another new ring world - the Black Wasteland of the Death Star, filled with the aura of decay. Over the sea.

“The Death Star has almost been eaten by the gods, so be careful.” Duke ordered.

The stars are eager to try: "Sir, sir, now that we have the star mechas, the gods are like mineral deposits to us. The more scars on the earth, the more fragmented rules we can mine. I propose to build a permanent base here! "

“Of course, the scars on the earth are a treasure. Almost all the scars on the earth in our Seven Towers Federation have been mined over the years.”

 “I’m just thinking about digging out more fragment rules to strengthen the Star Mecha!”

 “Haha, this world is the world of treasures!”

At this, Duke smiled and shook his head. Ever since he developed the Star Mecha and used the fragment rules as materials, the scars on the earth have changed.

It is no longer a forbidden place that everyone talks about, but a coveted treasure.

In recent years, the Seven Towers Federation has been frantically building star mechas, windbreakers and abyss ships, which has almost exhausted the few scars on the deserted continent.

"In that case, let's set off, land on the Black Waste Continent as soon as possible, and build an outpost." Duke said in a good tone, "After the outpost is completed, optimize a wave of abyss ships and star mechas, and then we will explore the upper ring world. .”

Duke knew nothing about the upper ring world of the Death Star, not even whether it existed.

 But one thing was clear to him.

The Death Star has been eaten by the evil gods. If the upper ring world of the Death Star exists, it must have been eaten by the evil gods. After all, if there is any remaining life, there will be no corresponding one in the dreamland of the stars. Stars and Tree King.

 …

 April of the second year.

The manned abyssal ship Torres Crocodile was successfully launched and began its unloaded voyage. Under the **** of many ordinary abyss ships, they began to cross the Wall of Sighs.

 With much anticipation, he successfully passed through the Wall of Sighs and arrived at the Hanhuang Continent of Qi Star.

Duke, who was leading a team to mine on the Black Wasteland, also traveled back to the Wilderness Continent to follow up on the entire operation.

 The unloaded voyage was successful, and the next step was the manned voyage.

to this end.

The stars have built an outpost in the cold desert continent and have stocked up a group of primitive tribes. The Torres Crocodile manned abyss ship will transport these indigenous people in the cold desert continent. They will wait for the reverse passage to be opened at the end of April to cross the Sigh again. wall.

It was slightly bumpy, but the manned abyss ship protected the safety of these indigenous people and returned to the island city smoothly.

The natives of the Cold Desolate Continent were also shivering and were almost blinded by the densely packed long guns and short cannons.

Countless people crowded at the port to watch these natives from the outside world.

However, the natives only showed up briefly before being taken away by the arcane mages who were waiting here. These arcane mages were basically Qi practitioners. The purpose of taking the natives away was to study the power of the wilderness that the natives practiced, which is the Qi of all things. .

 The next day.

The manned abyss ship Torres Crocodile carried the first batch of immigrants and sailed across the sea in an even grander farewell ceremony.

With the help of the escorting Abyss Ship, the mission of crossing the Wall of Sighs was once again completed, and a total of three thousand immigrants were delivered to the outpost of the Cold Desolate Continent.

 Since then, immigrants have been transported continuously once every half month.

 When the second manned abyss ship was launched, the immigration speed was further improved, and humans truly began to conquer the cold and desolate continent of Air Star.

at the same time.

The Abyss Ship Squadron, which has made a lot of money from mining in the Black Wasteland, has successfully optimized its respective Abyss Ships and Star Mechas.

 Under Duke’s repeated urging, a new journey of exploration began.

 This time.

 The Abyss Fleet marched towards the unknown upper ring world. When they passed through the Wall of Sighs, what hit them was not spiritual energy.

Rather, it was a rotten smell that was thick and pungent, making people cough.

"Cough! Cough!" Even Duke couldn't help it and coughed a few times, "This world is completely corrupt. There is no spirituality at all. It is full of decay!"

"The gods are eating the world, and the final development is probably like this." Selsus shook his head, "Hurry up and find the continent, explore it, and then we will go back... Fortunately, we have replenished the energy in the Black Wasteland Continent, otherwise there will be enough energy. It’s really hard to survive here.”

 Everything about arcane mage is based on aura.

 In this corrupt world, there are no spiritual particles that can be used. All that is there is corrupt spirituality.

 Once ingested this corrupt spirituality, the arcane mage will directly degenerate into a fallen demon.

 The final result is to become one with this decayed world, without any vitality at all.

“Hiss, is this the decayed world that Goddess Nyx has studied in advance? If the Lord Chancellor hadn’t led us into the spiritual era of cave subtlety, perhaps in the end, the future of our Seven Towers Federation would also be like this, completely decayed, right?”

“There’s no need to worry now, the evil spirits can’t destroy the world anymore, and they’ll also give away resources when they come, haha.” The stars’ interest continued unabated.

 Having visited the Black Wasteland Continent which was in the process of destruction, the stars all agreed that the cause of the world's decay was caused by the destruction of the world by the gods.

Now, the Seven Towers Federation has mastered more powerful spiritual arcana, and can counter-exploit the gods as resources.

  Naturally.

 The crisis of annihilation will then be lifted.

However, Duke was not so optimistic. He had seen the rich and viscous decadent spirituality under the abyss ring structure.

 It is speculated that it may not be the destruction of the world by gods and evil spirits that causes the world to decay.

Of course, he did not say these thoughts out loud, so as not to disturb everyone's interest.

The Abyss Fleet sailed all the way, but at the speed of the Abyss Ship, after sailing for several days, they still could not see the mainland, only the boundless sea water and the choking smell of decadent spirituality.

On the seventh day, the Abyss Fleet suddenly discovered that a new endless storm had appeared on the sea ahead.

"this…"

 “Is there no land in this world?”

 “Or is it that the land here has decayed and merged with the sea?”

 No one can answer the question. The Abyss Fleet sailed almost from the east to the west of the world, with only the sea as far as the eye can see.

“How about going to the next upper ring world?” Qunxing suggested.

However, he was immediately opposed by Duke: "The energy is not sufficient. Let's wait for the return flight in half a month, and then we can research a more sufficient energy ring in the future, and then carefully explore this decayed world."

“Yes, Duke is right, let’s return first!” Celsus echoed, “I really don’t like this place, it’s choking on my throat!”

 “Yeah, cough!”

　　Today is a bit short~
