Chapter 494: 310 million years of layout

When Chen Fan heard Kraken's answer, he couldn't help but frown.

"The more you talk, the more you deviate..."

He murmured in a low voice, trying to figure out the reason: "...Deviation?"

Since deviation is mentioned, it means that there must be a "benchmark".

But...

what is the "benchmark" of the ghost fleet? Is it

the safety of the Xinaluo civilization, or the safety of the anti-universe bubble?

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart.

He was more inclined to the former, that is, the safety of the Xinaluo civilization.

After all, the many clues they have proved that the ghost fleet is likely to be the future Xinaluo civilization.

Then there is a situation: if the Xinaluo civilization perishes, the future ghost fleet will theoretically cease to exist.

In other words, many operations of the ghost fleet are most likely for self-rescue.

Looking back at the specious prophecy of the ghost fleet, in a sense, it also reflects this purpose in disguise-

the first prophecy, the invasion of alien life forms, corresponds to the starry sky giant scorpion, which can be understood as preparing the Xinaluo civilization to be attacked.

The second prophecy, the arrival of the messenger, corresponds to the Human Union, which actually points out a way out for the Xinaluo civilization.

In retrospect, these two prophecies did play a corresponding role.

Although it paid a heavy price, at least the Xinaluo civilization survived the impact of the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion.

As for the third prophecy, the encounter of the twins...

What does the so-called twins refer to?

Chen Fan shook his head slowly, unable to figure out the mystery for a while - in fact, even for the first two prophecies, no one could understand the mystery before the corresponding events actually happened.

"It's really strange..." Chen Fan sighed softly, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Since you want to save yourself, why don't you be a riddle man? Just make your words clear and that's it."

As he said, he cast his eyes on Kraken again.

In the starry sky, the ocean of light was still fluctuating. In Chen Fan's eyes, faint information flows were coming out from the inside of the sea of ​​light and spreading to the surrounding starry sky. After a period of getting along, Chen Fan basically understood the behavior pattern of Kraken.

This extremely weak information flow is actually the way Kraken observes the outside world.

And the posture of these weak information flows spreading in all directions...

If Kraken is compared to a person, then He is sneaking around and constantly looking at the surrounding environment.

Chen Fan can even feel the emotional fluctuations of Kraken at this time from these information flows.

Alert, worried, uneasy...

"What are you looking at?" Chen Fan asked suddenly.

The sea of ​​light jumped suddenly, as if Kraken was startled.

[No, nothing...]

Kraken's tone was a little flustered, as if he wanted to hide something, but the next second, he gave a corresponding explanation: [I'm worried... your colleagues might do something to me...]

Kraken hesitated and spoke vaguely, but thinking of Kraken's panicked look when he mentioned the ghost fleet earlier, Chen Fan still understood the meaning of his words.

It is estimated that the ghost fleet had attacked Kraken before.

As for the result of the attack...

Looking at Kraken's frightened look now, we can actually get the answer - among the many clues we have mastered before, the ghost fleet not only mastered perfect information manipulation technology, but also mastered technology related to time.

Let's not talk about time technology, the mature information manipulation technology alone is enough to teach Kraken a lesson.

Chen Fan chuckled and looked in the direction of Kraken's "gaze".

There was no sign of the ghost fleet.

"Don't worry, it's not here." Chen Fan waved his hand, "Just keep talking, I can guarantee your safety."

The light sea fluctuated slightly, and a message with confusion came out: [The prophecy I know has been said. 】

【What else do you want me to say? 】

"..." Chen Fan's eyes twitched, and he asked patiently: "That ghost... my colleague, when did he appear? And these three prophecies, what did they tell you?"

Hearing Chen Fan's question, Kraken fell into silence again.

For a long time.

【One million years ago... No, the Xinalo civilization had already appeared at that time...】

Kraken muttered to himself: 【Ten million years ago? Or one hundred million years ago? 】

Hearing these outrageous numbers, Chen Fan's eye twitching became more and more obvious.

This Kraken...

is it really reliable?

【I remember! 】

Kraken's tone rose slightly: 【It should be 310 million years ago, when the other party first appeared in the land of creation! 】

【Sorry...】 There was a bit of apology in the information sent by Kraken, 【My thinking was not very clear before, so I can only remember the approximate time. 】

Having said that, Kraken's words still startled Chen Fan: "310 million years ago?"

"Are you sure you remember it correctly?"

"I remember that the Starry Sky Scorpion should have appeared in recent years, right?"

According to the records of the Xinalo civilization, the time when the Starry Sky Scorpion descended was actually a few hundred years ago.

Giving a prophecy and making a layout 310 million years in advance, is the style of this ghost fleet too "cautious"?

Apart from anything else, what if Kraken forgot about it?

Chen Fan looked at the sea of ​​light in front of him with a strange look in his eyes, and nodded secretly - it's not wrong, from the current point of view, Kraken may really have such a temperament.

[It's not wrong.] Kraken gave a positive answer: [I remember very clearly that when they first appeared, this universe had a considerable change.]

[At that time, countless black holes inexplicably collapsed and reorganized, and extremely powerful gravitational waves swept the entire universe. Whether it was planets, stars or galaxies, they all underwent huge changes under this gravitational fluctuation.]

Perhaps it was related to the memory of "childhood", and Kraken's words became trivial: [By the way, the current creation place was formed under this gravitational wave change. The scale of this nebula 300 million years ago was much larger than it is now...]

Unlike Kraken, Chen Fan was shocked and his face was full of shock.

The current anti-universe pattern was formed in the change 300 million years ago? And this change was caused by the ghost fleet?

What about the node universe?

Chen Fan immediately thought of the node universe that was still "stuck" on the hyperspace membrane.

You know, the structure of the node universe and the anti-universe is basically the same!

Could it be that... the node universe has also experienced exactly the same mutation?

[But then again, if there hadn't been that mutation, I would probably still be living in this nebula in a daze like before...]

Kraken's words of relief came, interrupting Chen Fan's thoughts.

"What did you say?" Chen Fan frowned and asked anxiously, "What does that mutation have to do with you?"

[Oh...]

Kraken was a little helpless, and the fluctuations on the surface of the light sea also calmed down a lot: [After that gravitational wave, countless high-dimensional warp channels were formed in the universe. Of course, there are also many such channels inside the Creation Land. ]

[You also know that if there were no warp channels, my thinking would become extremely slow. ]

[Three hundred million years ago, a complete thinking process would take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, so most of the time I was in a sleeping state. ]

Chen Fan suddenly realized.

It turns out that the warp channels throughout the anti-universe are produced in this way!

So, the ghost fleet appeared 300 million years ago mainly to accelerate the formation of the Kraken?

"What did they do afterwards?"

[After the anomaly, they disappeared into the starry sky.]

[After tens of millions of years, the gravitational waves from the collapse and reorganization of the black hole gradually dissipated, the warp channel gradually became stable, and my consciousness was completely formed.]

[Suddenly one day, they appeared again. ]

[It's just different from the last time. This time they did not appear in the starry sky, but appeared in my consciousness. ]

[It may be a bit difficult to explain this way...] Kraken hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind: [I'd better take you to see it directly. ]

As he spoke, a stream of information with a very special format spread out from the sea of ​​light in front of him and went straight to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was slightly stunned. Before he could react, this special format of information flow touched his consciousness.

The next second.

A shocking picture suddenly appeared in Chen Fan's mind.

This is a picture similar to a holographic video, but its underlying structure is an information flow.

Compared with conventional holographic photography, the image formed by the information flow is more real - at least in Chen Fan's view, this kind of information flow directly acting on the consciousness body produces an image that is even enough to produce a fake effect. Whether it is touch or other senses, everything is like a personal experience.

In the vast starry sky, the red nebula stretches endlessly, covering a star field of hundreds of thousands of light years.

This nebula, which is almost equal in size to a large Milky Way galaxy, is definitely a wonder in the universe. Normally, the scale of a nebula is only tens or hundreds of light years.

Inside the nebula, countless stars are running regularly, and the gravitational waves generated also pull the red nebula matter to move slowly and continuously.

Chen Fan, who is inside the nebula, can even clearly feel the slowly rhythmic micro-gravitational waves in the starry sky. Of course, these feelings are not real, but are simulated by Kraken with the help of information flow.

With just one glance, Chen Fan had an epiphany: This is the place of creation mentioned by Kraken 300 million years ago.

This scale is indeed much larger than the current place of creation.

With such a huge body and without the help of the warp channel, the saying that it takes millions of years for an idea to be generated is probably true!

The next second.

Just as Chen Fan was sighing in his heart, a strange wave suddenly appeared at the edge of the red nebula. Along with this strange information flow, a dilapidated fleet emitting a white light suddenly appeared in the starry sky!

Ghost Fleet!!

Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, Chen Fan suddenly widened his eyes and subconsciously held his breath.

There was no other reason.

Compared with the ghost fleets he had seen before, the scale of this ghost fleet was obviously a bit "oversized" - the ghost fleets he had seen were only large enough to be accommodated by a small star system, and the largest warships were about the size of a rocky planet, but the ghost fleet in front of him was different. Although he did not have accurate measurement tools, he could see from some reference objects that the scale of this fleet was definitely over tens of thousands of light years!

The stars running in the red nebula were like a tiny speck of dust in front of it!

And the smallest warship among them reached the planetary level!

"Oh my god..."

Chen Fan murmured in a low voice: "Is it possible that the ghost fleet I saw before... is just a small team of the other side?"

As soon as the voice fell, a majestic gravitational wave swept in, and the red nebula that originally stretched for hundreds of thousands of light years was like a piece of cotton candy, tearing apart very slowly.

This is not over yet!

Under Chen Fan's gaze, the fleet that had originally gathered together dispersed without warning and took a strange posture - these warships formed a formation in the starry sky that resembled a three-dimensional projection of a hypersphere.

Then, the white light around the fleet suddenly became brighter.

At the same time, turbulence occurred.

For a moment, the black hole collapsed, the galaxy stopped flowing, and the scene that Kraken described lightly was completely presented in front of Chen Fan!

The majestic gravitational fluctuations almost tore the entire starry sky apart! !

At this moment, accompanied by a sharp pain, the world in front of him fell into darkness - at the last moment, Chen Fan faintly saw several large-scale red nebulae disintegrating in the starry sky!

Chen Fan was completely stunned.

The dark world in front of him gradually dissipated, and the familiar starry sky appeared in front of Chen Fan again.

He stood in the starry sky blankly, as if he had not recovered from the shocking scene just now.

Until now, his mind still flashed the appearance of the ghost fleet dispersing and forming a formation.

If he was not mistaken, it was the standard defensive formation of the Human Alliance! !

Normally, this defensive formation is only used when facing an equally matched opponent. After entering the Pan-Universe Era, the Human Alliance Fleet usually adopts a blitzkrieg strategy to quickly fight and decide against the enemy. This defensive formation has gradually fallen into the long river of history. Only in textbooks can this fleet formation be seen.

It is not surprising that the Ghost Fleet can do this. After all, they have previously demonstrated the standard Human Alliance communication encryption format. A fleet formation can no longer surprise Chen Fan. Moreover, now that the Xinaluo civilization has joined the Human Alliance, it is normal for the Ghost Fleet, as the future Xinaluo civilization, to master the technology of these Human Alliances.

Although in Chen Fan's opinion, there is a paradox between the two, but... at least it can be explained.

The only thing that shocked and puzzled Chen Fan was why such a powerful Ghost Fleet would set up such a formation? !

The truth of 310 million years ago is obviously different from what Kraken just said!

——The Ghost Fleet is not the culprit that caused the turmoil in the universe. They were just attacked by an unknown existence! !

The so-called cosmic turmoil and black hole collapse are just the aftermath of the battle between the two sides!

So…

who was attacking the ghost fleet of the future 300 million years ago?

Before the previous question was solved, Chen Fan quickly realized a more terrifying question - the ghost fleet 300 million years ago should be just information projection from the future.

This is a war across time!

One side stands downstream of the long river of time, while the other side stands upstream of the long river of time! !

At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly felt a chill rising from his back - such a powerful civilization was hidden in the anti-universe. So, after 300 million years, is the other party still in the anti-universe?

If it is still there, will the peacekeeping fleet...

Chen Fan dare not think about it.

At this time, he wanted to return to the investigator starship immediately and send a warning message to Fang Yunsheng and the why fleet!

[This is the picture of them appearing 310 million years ago.]

Kraken continued: [Next, I will show you the scene of their second appearance.]

As the voice fell, another stream of information slowly emerged from the sea of ​​light in front of him and came towards Chen Fan.

Looking at the special information flow that was about to contact him, Chen Fan suppressed the throbbing in his heart and felt it carefully.

A piece of red.

There are no stars, no planets, and no nebulae.

In the space filled with red, one or two sparse information flows flashed from time to time.

Chen Fan easily "decoded" these information flows - the content of the information flows was very complicated, including philosophical thoughts about his own existence, thoughts about the origin of the universe, and of course, more fear and panic about the earth-shaking turmoil tens of millions of years ago.

This is the inside of Kraken's consciousness.

At the moment when Chen Fan realized it, a familiar information wave suddenly appeared in this red space.

Then, a miniature fleet with white fluorescence on the surface slowly emerged in front of Chen Fan.

It was still the ghost fleet.

Just as Kraken said just now, the other party appeared directly in his consciousness.

The moment the fleet appeared, the red space was violently turbulent, and the previously sparse information flow suddenly became dense, which was full of fear and uneasiness - in Kraken's eyes, it was the ghost fleet that caused the turmoil tens of millions of years ago, and it was also the ghost fleet that tore his body apart.

Chen Fan, who had the experience of the first information flow transmission and knew that the other party was just a phantom in his memory, looked at this mini ghost fleet calmly.

Slightly different from tens of millions of years ago, the ghost fleet now looks more dilapidated, but it exudes a sense of tragedy from the inside out.

Just like the ghost fleet he saw in the node universe.

The next moment.

The miniature version of the ghost fleet sent out a series of information flows with a very familiar format.

[You read it right.] Perhaps sensing Chen Fan's doubts, Kraken's voice sounded in the red space, [The way I pass on information flows to you is learned from them.]

Chen Fan's heart moved, and he looked carefully at the content of these information flows.

Among them were the three prophecies that Kraken had mentioned, and a relatively clear "order".

"... Guide the next civilization born in this universe, and do not reveal my existence, otherwise, die?!"

Chen Fan subconsciously read out this order from the ghost fleet, and his originally calm expression suddenly became weird.

The next civilization born in the anti-universe...

Isn't this the Xinalo civilization? !

What is this?

Traveling through time and finding a top nanny and tutor for the unborn self?

So competitive? !

"Oh my god..."

"No wonder the Xinaluo civilization was able to develop into a level 6 civilization behind closed doors."

Chen Fan stared at the ghost fleet in front of him with a straight look in his eyes. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help but utter a complaint: "How can it be like this?!"

Isn't this a pure second-round player reincarnated and rebuilt?

Is it open or not?
