Chapter 493 The Source of Prophecy (Two-in-One)

The Land of Creation.

The pale red ocean of light rippled slightly.

Perhaps because the nebula structure and macroscopic gravitational structure of the Land of Creation have not been completely repaired, Kraken has felt that his body is a little strange since he woke up:

He has never been able to perceive the feeling at the tip of the twig, as if this part of his body has completely disappeared.

Not only that, his mind has also been seriously confused.

The reason for this is entirely because Kraken's life form is completely different from that of ordinary creatures.

For ordinary creatures, each organ of the body has its own function, just like the different parts of a machine, and they work together to complete various physiological activities.

But Kraken is different.

As a nebula creature, the various parts of Kraken's body structure do not actually have a clear division of labor, and the most common division of organs and tissues of organisms does not apply to him.

The entire nebula, or the entire Land of Creation, can be said to be both his body and his brain - the macroscopic gravitational structure not only builds his body, but also builds a thinking system for him that spans 8,000 light years.

Logically speaking, such a long-range thinking system is bound to lead to a sluggish mind.

After all, the upper limit of the transmission speed of gravitational waves is the speed of light. If the place of creation is compared to the human brain, it will take at least 8,000 years for a neuron signal to be transmitted from one end to the other.

This almost cuts off the possibility of the birth of a conventional consciousness. The reason

why Kraken has not fallen to this point is entirely due to the high-dimensional warp channels throughout the starry sky.

Relying on them, gravitational waves can flexibly and quickly shuttle through the starry sky, thus laying the foundation for Kraken's consciousness.

Because of this, the incompleteness of the nebula and gravitational structure will lead to this rather serious sequelae-compared with usual, His thinking process at this time also seems a bit chaotic and disordered.

In fact, this is much better than the awakening situation He expected.

In His expectation, He who had just awakened might need a very long time to recover most of his thinking ability.

The only thing that made Kraken feel strange was His control over his body and the speed of his thinking.

Compared with before the injury, although his mind was quite confused, his control over his body and his reaction speed of his mind had greatly improved.

[Strange...]

Kraken tried to sort out his confused mind while checking his body.

This can be regarded as a special ability of nebula life - he can not only easily check the internal structure of his body, but also use gravitational waves to explore many star fields outside the place of creation.

Soon, Kraken discovered the abnormality inside his body.

First of all.

Although the stars located on the gravitational hub have been restored, the scattered stars scattered in the body have disappeared. Not only that, the density of nebulae in the galaxy has also decreased a lot, and even a considerable number of areas are vacant.

And this is why he lost some control of his body.

Secondly, there are a large number of complex space-time structures similar to warp channels arranged between these stars, and these structures come from mechanical devices that he has never seen before.

Thanks to this, gravitational waves shuttle faster and faster between the stars.

Combining the above two points, it leads to a strange and contradictory phenomenon:

although his mind is a little confused, his reaction speed has been greatly improved.

While Kraken was trying to sort out his thoughts, Chen Fan, who was standing beside him, was also staring blankly at the end of the seemingly empty starry sky.

[Thank you again for your help earlier. The equipment for building the warp channel has been of great help to me. ]

A message came from the side, interrupting Chen Fan's thoughts.

"Warp channel?"

Listening to Kraken's explanation, Chen Fan's expression gradually became more interesting.

I never expected that this emergency measure that I thought of temporarily would have such an additional effect!

After all, what is this?

A mechanical prosthesis dedicated to nebula life?

Sure enough, no matter what kind of life it is, it will eventually take the path of mechanical ascension!

Just as Chen Fan was sighing inwardly, the fluctuations from the distant starry sky once again attracted Chen Fan's attention.

The extremely dazzling white flash in the starry sky disappeared.

Not only that, the huge depression that seemed to be devouring people in the high-dimensional perspective did not last for long.

After the white flash that almost penetrated the universe completely disappeared, the sudden depression pit began to gradually flatten out.

If you only focus on the space inside the universe, it seems that everything has returned to its former state, as if the abnormal phenomenon just now was an illusion.

But...

if you focus your eyes on the cosmic membrane, you can easily find a terrifying phenomenon - the surface of the cosmic membrane, which was originally flat, has already appeared a layer of fine cracks!

Chen Fan's mind suddenly became clear.

Although he is not sure what happened in that distant star field for the time being, he thinks that it should be the traces left by the operation of the Genesis Fortress.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed the fine cracks on the surface of the cosmic membrane.

In the past, this crack might not matter - a crack of thousands of light years in size is like a small piece of skin on a person's hand for a cosmic bubble of tens of billions of light years. Even if it does not repair itself, it will not cause any major problems.

But the current situation is definitely different from usual.

Chen Fan raised his head slightly and cast his eyes on the cosmic membrane corresponding to the star field of the Creation Land.

An irregular hole only a few light years in size and almost imperceptible suddenly appeared on the huge cosmic membrane. At the edge of the hole, deep cracks extended out and spread toward the intact cosmic membrane around it.

A careful observation reveals that the shape of the hole is somewhat similar to the double-pyramid Genesis Fortress!

This is the price that the Genesis Fortress paid for forcibly entering the anti-universe bubble.

Just a few days ago, when the peacekeeping fleet just entered the anti-universe bubble, this double-pyramid hole was only one light year in size, but now, its size has expanded several times without anyone noticing!

"Ah..."

Chen Fan shook his head and sighed silently.

What Wang Jing said was indeed right. For this cosmic bubble, the rupture of the cosmic membrane is almost an irreversible process.

And the fine cracks caused by the operation of the Genesis Fortress in the distance will undoubtedly accelerate the progress of the rupture of the cosmic membrane again.

[The speed of light has changed...]

Just as Chen Fan was thinking in his heart, a clear message came from the constantly fluctuating ocean of light beside him: [Just now, the speed of light in that star field has dropped significantly, about... only 30 meters per second.]

Kraken's voice trembled a little, and even the unstable sea of ​​light moved cautiously away from that star field.

It seems that He is very afraid of the fluctuations coming from the starry sky.

Chen Fan thought about it for a while and understood the reason. According to the information Wang Jing had mentioned, after the speed of light decreases, both nebula matter and large celestial bodies will be destroyed in an instant. For Kraken, this is undoubtedly a catastrophe.

"Don't worry, it should be my civilization that is dealing with the starry sky giant scorpion in this star field." Chen Fan quickly explained to Kraken, "That is, the so-called alien life form."

The moment the information came out, the fluctuations of the already fluctuating sea of ​​light became more intense, but it stopped moving away.

After a long time, a message mixed with awe, fear and gratitude came out quickly: [Dear messenger, your civilization is very powerful. ]

Listening to Kraken's compliments, Chen Fan's face did not show any smile.

If the lives of Kraken and Xinaluo civilization are compared with the safety of the anti-universe bubble, there is no doubt that almost everyone will choose the former without hesitation.

This includes Chen Fan.

Reason tells him that he should choose the former. After all, the universe bubble is just a dead thing.

But...

sensibility made a completely opposite judgment.

In his feeling, the cosmic bubble seemed to be more important than these civilizations.

Not just this cosmic bubble, but all cosmic bubbles!

[Are you worried about this universe? ]

It is difficult for the emotional fluctuations of the consciousness to hide, and Kraken soon noticed the uneasiness and entanglement in Chen Fan's heart.

Seeing Chen Fan's affirmation, Kraken sent another message to Chen Fan in the fluctuation of the sea of ​​light: [This is described in the prophecy. ]

[When the twins meet, the crisis will be resolved. ]

[If the prophecy is not wrong, this crisis should... ]

"Wait." Chen Fan hurriedly interrupted Kraken's words, "Prophecy? What prophecy? What are the twins?"

Chen Fan looked stunned and confused.

Since Kraken woke up, he mentioned the prophecy.

At first, Chen Fan didn't think much about it, but now looking back, there is obviously a problem in Kraken's words.

According to the Xinaluo civilization, the prophecy is the will of the star god, that is, Kraken.

But from Kraken's words, it can be heard that this is not the case.

Even...

Kraken himself followed this prophecy and did many things! !

Then where did this so-called prophecy come from?

The moment Chen Fan asked the question in his heart, the fluctuations of the sea of ​​light became more intense. These pale red starlights gathered and jumped in the starry sky, forming symbols whose meanings were unknown.

[Prophecy...]

Unlike the clear words before, this time, the information sent by Kraken was full of panic: [They, they passed down the prophecy! ]

[I... I am just a narrator. It was them, they asked me to tell these prophecies to the Xinalo civilization! ]

Hearing this, Chen Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

His premonition just now was indeed correct!

These prophecies came from another unknown existence!

"Who are they?"

Chen Fan had no time to think and hurriedly asked Kraken.

[They are...]

The sea of ​​light jumped suddenly, suddenly disintegrated into countless tiny points of light, and then reunited into a sea of ​​light in Chen Fan's shocked eyes. Kraken screamed, and the information sent out became more scattered and incomprehensible: [Can't say! ]

[Can't say!! ]

[They warned me! You must not reveal their identities at will, otherwise...]

Suddenly, Kraken's words suddenly paused: [Here they come! ! ! 】

At the same time, the light sea that had just gathered suddenly shrank into a flickering ball of light, like an animal that was frightened, curling up and trembling slightly.

Chen Fan was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look around.

There was no abnormal phenomenon.

The starry sky was still the starry sky, and the nebula was still the nebula.

"Calm down, Kraken."

"There is no one else here." Chen Fan frowned and tried to calm Kraken's emotions. "I am here, someone is connected, and no one can hurt you."

"Tell me, who are they?"

[No... I can't say... I can't say...]

[If I say it, something big will happen...]

Chen Fan stared blankly at the sea of ​​light in front of him that was almost in a state of disorder, and fell into complete silence.

This universe... What happened?

What has Kraken experienced?

Why is He so afraid of the so-called prophecy?

What big things will happen if the prophecy is leaked?

Countless questions rose in Chen Fan's mind, and his brows furrowed deeper.

Judging from the current situation, the distribution of forces in the anti-universe bubble should be very simple.

The Starry Sky Giant Scorpion, the Kraken, and the Sinalo Civilization.

Apart from these three civilizations, there seems to be nothing else in this universe...

Wait!

Chen Fan seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened.

He subconsciously overlooked a very important existence!

The Ghost Fleet!!

You know, the Investigator Starship and the Research Ship entered the Anti-Universe under the leadership of the Ghost Fleet!

But...

for some reason, since they successfully entered the Anti-Universe, the Ghost Fleet that led the way has completely disappeared from their sight.

Because of this, Chen Fan subconsciously forgot it in the depths of his memory.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan took a deep breath: "Kraken, what you said... is it like this?"

As he said, he thought about it and transmitted the appearance of the Ghost Fleet in his memory to the Kraken.

The moment the information was transmitted, the light ball that had curled up into a ball seemed to be frightened by something, and suddenly "exploded", turning into countless bright red light spots!

Although the Kraken did not speak, Chen Fan had already got the answer from his reaction.

"The prophecy comes from the Ghost Fleet..."

Chen Fan's eyes were dim, staring at the deep starry sky.

"This ghost fleet...what exactly does it want to do?"

[Yes, yes, it is it!]

Kraken's trembling voice came from the sea of ​​light that had dispersed and reunited several times: [You...you know it?]

"I guess so."

Chen Fan, who was in deep thought, answered casually: "To be precise, it brought us to this universe."

[This, this, this...]

Kraken was obviously frightened by the information Chen Fan casually said. He stuttered for a long time, and finally said a sentence in a tentative tone: [...our own people?]

God damn our own people!

This Kraken's brain circuit...is so strange!

Chen Fan's eyes twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to shake his head to deny it, but the next second, he swallowed the denial that was about to blurt out, and instead smiled faintly, nodded "reservedly", and gave a rather vague answer: "I guess so."

Kraken didn't care about Chen Fan's ambiguous attitude. After getting Chen Fan's affirmation, he moved closer to Chen Fan with some excitement and asked repeatedly: [What about the twin encounter mentioned in the prophecy? 】

【I've had enough of those alien life forms! 】

【When will this crisis end? 】

As he spoke, Kraken finally realized the problem belatedly: 【Wait... since you know it, why did you ask about the prophecy just now? 】

"..."

Chen Fan was silent for a moment, and said casually without blinking, "You don't understand, we belong to two different departments."

"Our civilization is too large, so it is inevitable that there will be some communication problems."

"Can you understand?"

Kraken was slow to speak, and even the previously violently fluctuating sea of ​​light fell into silence.

Chen Fan's heart couldn't help but beat.

After all, the other party is an old monster who has lived for countless billions of years. Such a low-level lie probably won't fool Kraken, right?

Just when Chen Fan was about to think of a way to cover up his lie, Kraken sighed deeply.

[So that's it...]

[As expected of an advanced civilization! ! ]

Chen Fan: "..."

OK.

He now understood that although Kraken had survived in the starry sky for hundreds of millions of years, he had never come into contact with advanced civilizations and seriously lacked basic common sense related to civilization.

To put it bluntly.

In terms of interstellar civilization communication, the other party might be no different from a blank sheet of paper.

"Ahem..."

Chen Fan coughed lightly, suppressed the slight sense of guilt that emerged in his heart, and spoke again: "You can see that we are now doing our best to kill those starry sky giant scorpions. I'm afraid we can't spare the time to ask about the prophecy."

"How about this, you briefly tell me the information you know, and I'll see if there is any problem."

The ocean of light stopped fluctuating again.

Kraken stared at Chen Fan in front of him in a daze. With hundreds of millions of years of life experience, he vaguely sensed some problems.

But because of the lack of body structure, his mind seemed a little confused. Although he noticed something, he could not grasp the key points.

After pondering for a long time, the puzzled Kraken temporarily put aside his confusion and answered honestly: [In fact, it only told me three prophecies. ]

[The first one is the invasion of alien life forms, which are the starry sky giant scorpions you mentioned. This has been fulfilled. ]

[The second one is your arrival, which has also been fulfilled. ]

[As for the third one... it is what I just said, when the twins meet, this crisis will be eliminated. ]

[Among them, according to its requirements, the first two prophecies need to be told to the Xinalo civilization, and the third prophecy needs to be told to the messenger from the alien world at the right time. ]

"The right time?" Chen Fan's heart moved, and he asked Kraken, "What is the right time?"

[I... I don't know. ] Kraken's voice was extremely confused, [I also asked it the same question, but it didn't say it clearly, but only mentioned an insignificant sentence. ]

"What?"

[The more you say, the more you deviate. ]
