Chapter 1093: The information capsule sent back
“Her full name is Cherubim.” Ah Yin and Zhao Chen walked into the Star Harbor Corridor.
Ah Yin noticed Zhao Chen's somewhat surprised expression.
She then added, "Doesn't this name sound familiar?"
This is a term from the Angelic Civilization; they also have an Angelic Legion named after it.
She was personally nurtured by her master, and her body was also personally constructed by him.
The Angel race was used as the model for construction at the time.
Therefore, you will see that her physical appearance is very similar to that of the angel race.
At the same time, the emotion module also uses the arrogant personality common to the angel race, so please forgive the Archangel's attitude just now, Lord.
It turns out there's a story behind this cherubim.
Being a distant relative of the angels explains why Zhao Chen felt a sense of déjà vu.
Then.
Ah Yin led Zhao Chen to a hall.
There was no one else in the hall except for a figure standing in the middle of the hall and a cylindrical platform one meter high, on which a crystal was suspended.
That figure was none other than the cherubim from earlier.
“Zhi, I brought him here on my master’s orders,” Ah Yin said.
The angel looked Zhao Chen up and down.
Although Zhao Chen couldn't see the angel's eyes, he could sense the arrogance in her bones; she truly 'didn't learn the good things, only the bad.'
"Place your hand on this crystal, and you'll see the message your master left for you," the Archangel said coldly.
Zhao Chen placed his hand on it.
Then the images around Zhao Chen changed.
A familiar little figure appeared before Zhao Chen.
It was that little girl.
She sat on a high stool, swinging her legs like an innocent little girl.
Hehehe, I knew you would come!
"I guessed right! I beat Zhi again!" The little girl sounded very happy, as if she had made some kind of bet with Zhi Tian.
"You..." Zhao Chen was about to speak.
It was 'interrupted'.
"This is just a visual message I left behind; it cannot answer your question."
"Just listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you," the little girl suddenly said with a serious expression.
Zhao Chen remained silent.
"You have already gained a preliminary understanding of the Gaia Gate and the threats posed by it."
But there are actually more secrets you don't know yet.
Our universe is not the only one that exists in this world.
There are actually many, many more universes.
Often, a technological civilization needs to reach the T6 technological level to break through the barriers of its own universe and enter the era of multiple universes.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Gaia Empire in our universe was about to enter the T6 technological civilization and had also come into contact with inter-universe technology.
But why didn't our universe have any other cosmic visitors before this?
Is it a coincidence?
Or is it for some other reason? The little girl continued talking to herself, as if she were telling a story.
"Actually, after the Gaia Empire's expeditionary force left, there was more than one piece of news."
Although their starships never returned, they sent back a message capsule.
As she spoke, the little girl raised her hand, and a capsule that looked like a pill appeared in front of Zhao Chen.
"Now, I will tell you the contents of this information capsule."
Zhao Chen's expression was serious; he felt that more secrets were slowly unfolding before him.
This information capsule has been opened.
A blurry image appeared, its features indistinct, only showing a humanoid creature speaking.
"The expedition was in the year 377."
We finally know who our enemy is.
They call themselves 'order'.
It's not an interstellar power... how should I put it...
One thing is hard to explain: it transcends the forms we are familiar with.
It is neither carbon-based life nor mechanical life.
It has no physical form; it is merely a...spiritual entity...
I don't know how to explain it, so let's just call it a spiritual entity.
They engaged in their first exchange, telling us about their history.
In fact, they were originally an interstellar civilization, much like us.
After becoming a T6 technological civilization, they entered the inter-universe era; after countless battles with other T6 technological civilizations, they successfully became a T7 technological civilization.
Or rather... in order to defeat their enemies, they were forced to use a certain technology, which made them a T7 technological civilization.
In simple terms, that technology involves having all life forms within their interstellar civilization sacrifice their physical bodies and merge their souls and consciousness into one.
It became an immortal and indestructible spiritual entity.
They can use their spiritual energy to create some of the technological weapons they used before they were born, such as interstellar warships.
That's how those dark legion fleets we encountered before came about.
After these interstellar warships are destroyed, they will return to their 'mother' and be reborn.
Then launch an attack.
It is also through this technological means that their legion fleets are immortal and indestructible, constantly eliminating the T6 technological civilizations that previously threatened them.
Ultimately, all T6 technological civilizations were wiped out.
It became the strongest being.
They claim they hate war, but technological advancements will inevitably lead to war.
Therefore, they intend to establish an order to protect the various universes.
They will infiltrate all universes that are about to enter the T6 technological civilization, conveying their own ideas.
He wanted all life in the universe to sacrifice their bodies, just like himself, and to merge his soul and consciousness into them, thus becoming an immortal being.
They hope we can join them.
If we disagree, they will see us as a threat to order and annihilate our universe!
This is to maintain order!
We know we will fight this powerful and mysterious enemy for our decision, but we will fight for our home to the last starship.
Old friends from my hometown.
If I wait and can't go back.
Please protect our home.
Zhao Chen looked somewhat surprised.
Order...spiritual entity...immortal and indestructible...T7 technological civilization...
"Were you at a loss when you first heard this news?"
I was like that back then too.
Order, that strange thing.
"That's the enemy we've always faced." The little girl swung her legs, her eyes seemingly gazing into the distance.
Soul consciousness?
Zhao Chen suddenly remembered.
Could the unstable life signals detected by the Reborn-class clone starships be related to this 'order'?
It seems that this 'order' has begun to permeate their universe.
The Mechanicus is very likely the spokesperson supported by 'Order', which explains the technologies it possesses.
After all, it is backed by a powerful entity that controls the T7 technological civilization.
order......
Zhao Chen's expression was solemn.
