Chen Fan arrived in a world ruled by "gods."
The statues of gods spoke with synthesized electronic voices; divine blessings bestowed mechanical prosthetic limbs...

Chapter 408 Database Lost
"Star God?"
Chen Fan looked up following Ophelia's gaze, and saw only a dome dotted with some unknown gems and inlaid with a large number of mechanical equipment and lines.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan's eyes revealed a bit of confusion.
He didn't quite understand what Ophelia meant by this sentence.
According to Yi's analysis, there are a large number of signal transmission and transceiver equipment in the Xinaluo Palace. These signal transmission equipment combined with each other may form a huge communication device!
Correspondingly, the core control room of the palace naturally has the function of sending and receiving information.
However... because this set of equipment is in shutdown state, Yi can't determine the communication object of this communication device now.
But from Ophelia's words and actions just now, Chen Fan couldn't help but flash a surprising guess in his mind.
——The communication object of this super-large-scale communication device may be the so-called "Star God".
When this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Fan subconsciously took a breath of cold air.
Could it be that...
the so-called Star God really exists?
Shouldn't this just be an ordinary spiritual belief? !
Chen Fan carefully looked at Ophelia's expression, with a little uneasiness and uneasiness in his eyes - until now, Ophelia still gazed at the towering dome with reverent eyes.
If it weren't for repeatedly confirming that there were only some gems and mechanical equipment on the dome, Chen Fan even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his eyes.
Whether in the previous life or this life, even when he just crossed into the Varela civilization, Chen Fan did not believe in the existence of gods.
Of course, the most important point is that even the human alliance, whose sphere of influence covers tens of millions of universes, has not yet found real gods in the vast pan-universe.
The so-called gods are just individuals with strong enough power, or civilizations with high enough technological level.
Thinking of this, the horrified thoughts in Chen Fan's heart were fleeting.
He calmed down and asked Ophelia directly: "Star God...what exactly do you mean?"
"Someone? Or...a powerful civilization?"
[No. 】
Hearing Chen Fan's question, Ophelia came back to her senses. She slightly opened her red lips and looked at Chen Fan in front of her in great surprise, as if she was surprised by the question he asked.
【The Star God is the Star God. He is not a human, nor a civilization. 】
【He exists between the stars. Under this starry sky, nothing can escape His eyes. 】
Listening to these mysterious words, Chen Fan couldn't help but frown.
Existing in the entire starry sky, nothing can escape His eyes?
"Is there a large number of detection equipment distributed in the starry sky?"
Chen Fan's mind suddenly flashed some unwarranted associations, and he murmured in a low voice: "For example... nanomachines?"
For a civilization that has not yet mastered the curvature technology, the nano detection equipment in the vast starry sky will indeed appear very mysterious-just like the black tide controlled by [Su Zheng]. If one of the nanoworms is placed in the Xinaluo star system, with the current technological level of the Xinaluo civilization, I am afraid that the existence of this nanoworm will not be found until death.
"This possibility is very small."
Hongshi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up to refute.
"What do you mean?" Chen Fan's eyes moved, and he turned his head to ask Hongshi.
"The activity and detection efficiency of a single nanomachine are very low, which is almost an unavoidable problem." Hongshi answered without hesitation, "That's why the nanomachines you see appear in groups."
"Even if they are medical nanorobots and repair nanomachines made by the Human Union, they must reach a certain scale to show sufficient performance."
"Once their scale grows... even if the Xinaluo civilization cannot find them, the detectors of the Human Union will definitely be able to detect the problem." Hongshi frowned slightly and shook his head slowly, "But until now, neither Academician Wang's research ship nor other detectors have found traces of detectors in the surrounding star fields."
"Then..."
Chen Fan's heart moved, and he gave another guess: "Maybe it's the ghost fleet?"
"Based on the previous experience in the node universe, the ghost fleet also has this ability to monitor the starry sky."
Not only that, this can also perfectly explain the so-called Xinaluo royal prophecy-what messenger is coming, it's completely the result of the ghost fleet's self-directed and self-acted, how can this be inaccurate!
Hongshi pondered for a moment, nodded hesitantly: "This is a certain possibility."
"Perhaps..."
She glanced calmly at Queen Xinaluo who was sitting on the chair: "You can ask her about the ghost fleet?"
Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.
In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, perhaps...
I have to take the risk of "blasphemy".
...
[Lord Star Envoy, what are you talking about? ]
Since Yi did not translate the conversation between Chen Fan and Hongshi, Ophelia's face was already a little confused at this time.
The fluorescence on the surface of her body kept flashing, showing her inner doubts and confusion without reservation: [You... don't believe what I said? ]
Under Ophelia's gaze, Chen Fan pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He slowly said: "Queen Ophelia, I would like to say that in my opinion and that of my civilization, there are no real gods in this world."
At the moment when the voice fell, Artesia, who was standing next to Ophelia, suddenly changed her face: [Star Envoy, what you said is a bit...]
[Artesia. ] Ophelia frowned slightly and interrupted Artesia's unfinished words, [Don't talk first. ]
Seeing that the fluorescent light flashing around Artesia gradually stopped, Ophelia continued to look at Chen Fan, and her mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: [Star Envoy, I assure you that the Star God really exists in the starry sky. ]
[Of course, you can say what you think first. ]
Looking at the confident smile on Ophelia's lips, Chen Fan frowned even deeper.
What exactly makes Ophelia so "superstitious" about the existence of the Star God?
Chen Fan doesn't think that the queen of an interstellar civilization is a fool who can be deceived at will.
He calmed down and continued, "Based on your previous description, we suspect that the Star God you mentioned is likely to be an advanced civilization that has mastered advanced technology."
"For example..."
Chen Fan's thoughts moved, and the image data of the ghost fleet quietly emerged in the holographic interface beside him.
"Queen Ophelia, do you have any impression of this fleet? Or in other words, do you know this fleet?"
Chen Fan raised his hand and slid it in the air, trying to show all the details of the ghost fleet to Ophelia.
At the same time, he stared at Ophelia's face, trying to find some clues in her changes in expression.
But...
he failed.
Looking at the image of the ghost fleet shown by Chen Fan, both Ophelia and Artesia beside her looked extremely confused.
Ophelia frowned, and the smile on her face disappeared.
[I'm sorry, I really haven't seen such a fleet. ]
After carefully identifying it, Ophelia shook her head and gave a disappointing answer.
But even so, Ophelia's eyes still did not move away from the holographic image.
There was a little confusion in her eyes: [It seems that the construction style of this fleet is somewhat similar to our starship. ]
[Master Star Envoy, can I ask where you saw this fleet? ]
Chen Fan was silent, staring carefully at Ophelia in front of him.
'Micro-expression analysis completed, no abnormalities found. '
'Light language analysis completed, no abnormalities found. '
Yi's electronic synthesis voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind.
Looking at the precise analysis results provided by Yi, Chen Fan's heart sank.
If the ghost fleet and the Xinaluo civilization have no intersection, then what about the phantom that Ophelia once saw? What about the so-called star god?
Is there really a powerful third-party civilization active in the anti-universe?
Even...
even the ghost fleet that has mastered time cannot escape the fate of becoming a pawn? !
Thinking of this, Chen Fan's heart suddenly shuddered.
No!
I have to think of a way to get some more information out of Ophelia!
"This fleet... is not far from the Xinaluo star system."
Chen Fan lied calmly: "It's probably about 20 light years away."
[This is impossible! ! ]
The moment the voice fell, not to mention Queen Ophelia, even Hongshi and two assistants beside him were shocked.
For a moment, the scene quickly became chaotic - in the room, the fluorescence on Ophelia and Artesia flashed rapidly, showing that they were not calm; in the mental network, Hongshi had already sent him an inquiry.
With the help of the mental network, Chen Fan briefly explained his intentions.
On the other side.
After the initial surprise, Ophelia barely regained her composure: [Star Envoy, this is impossible! ]
[The Xinaluo civilization was once active in the surrounding star fields and had also conducted many explorations of the surrounding star fields, but...]
As she spoke, she reached out and operated the console beside her: [The current database of the Xinaluo civilization does not have relevant information about this fleet. 】
Accompanied by a rapid flash of light from the gem embedded in the console, Ophelia's expression became more and more certain:
【Not only that, the previous queen never mentioned the existence of the ghost fleet! 】
Looking at the information transmitted by Ophelia in the holographic interface, Chen Fan keenly noticed a hint of weirdness.
Since there is no corresponding information in the database, why does Ophelia emphasize the previous queen's statement?
Unless...
"If I'm not mistaken, the database of the Xinaluo civilization has been lost."
Chen Fan took a deep breath and asked softly: "Am I right, Queen Ophelia?" In
an instant!
The room suddenly fell into silence, and even the fluorescence on Ophelia and Artesia stopped flashing!
ps: I had something to do this morning, so I didn't have time to post it at noon... There is still one chapter in the evening!
