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 495 Senior "Civilization 6" Players
The red space was quiet, and streams of information were continuously transmitted from the miniature ghost fleet, spreading and disappearing in this relatively pure consciousness.
——After tens of millions of years of evolution, the Kraken at this time just had a relatively fast and complete mind.
In a sense, the current Kraken is like a newborn baby.
It's just that this baby barely retains a billion points of "embryonic" memory.
Because of this, for the messages sent by the ghost fleet, the Kraken can only receive them silently with fear and shock.
[They told me some common sense about civilization.]
The voice of the Kraken continued to sound in Chen Fan's mind: [For example, the types of intelligent creatures, the level of civilization, the progress of different civilizations' technology...]
[This was undoubtedly a very novel thing for me at the time. After all, since the birth of consciousness, I have never seen other life. ]
[But just like those prophecies, whenever I want to ask in detail, they will choose to avoid answering. ]
Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.
This is probably what the ghost fleet once mentioned: "The more you talk, the more you deviate."
Obviously, it is not so easy to cross the long river of time and "open the door" to your past self. Just like the butterfly effect, a little carelessness will lead to various unexpected results.
As Kraken's voice fell, the red space gradually dimmed.
This is a sign that the information transmission is about to end.
Chen Fan, who has experience, once again took a deep look at the ghost fleet in the red space.
I don't know what the other party's purpose is, and what the third prophecy refers to.
Suddenly!
Just when Chen Fan was confused, the miniature ghost fleet seemed to notice Chen Fan's gaze, and suddenly moved, turning directly to the direction of Chen Fan's consciousness.
As the white light on its surface flickered slightly, Chen Fan suddenly felt an illusion of being watched.
The ghost fleet... saw him?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chen Fan felt a chill rising from his back.
[Huh? How could this happen...]
Kraken's voice echoed in the red space, revealing a strong sense of surprise.
The next second.
An extremely weak information flow came from the phantom of the ghost fleet, passing through the gradually dimming red space and directly contacting his consciousness.
Wow!
The red space was completely dim, and in a slight dizziness, the illusion formed by the information transmission had disappeared, and the familiar starry sky appeared in front of Chen Fan again.
But... Chen Fan still stared absentmindedly at the pale red starry sky in front of him, with a slightly shaking look full of horror.
At this moment, his mind was still echoing the information flow sent by the ghost fleet at the last moment.
[Greetings, Your Majesty.]
...
[Strange...]
Information fluctuations came from the sea of light on the side, interrupting Chen Fan's thoughts: [I clearly don't have this scene in my memory...]
Chen Fan turned his head sharply and looked at the slightly undulating sea of light in the starry sky: "You mean... they didn't make this turn 200 million years ago?"
[...]
Kraken pondered for a moment, as if recalling.
[Yes. 】After a moment, He gave an affirmative answer, [I remember that they disappeared directly after completing the information transmission, and they did not appear in the following hundreds of millions of years. 】
As Kraken's voice fell, Chen Fan's heart was completely shocked.
The feeling of being watched by something just now was real! !
Even if the two were separated by a long river of time, even if that scene only existed in Kraken's memory, the ghost fleet was still watching him, and even took the initiative to send him a message of unknown meaning!
This...
is it really something that can be done by scientific means? Is
it really not a fantasy method?
At this moment, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a deep confusion in his heart.
"Your Majesty..."
Chen Fan was slightly absent-minded, and murmured silently in his heart: "Why does the ghost fleet call me that? Could it be..."
In the starry sky, the sea of light rose and fell slightly: [You and them...]
Chen Fan suddenly came back to his senses, he frowned slightly, and cast his eyes on the Kraken in front of him again.
If revealing future information in advance will have an impact on the future, then...
"Forget what happened just now." Chen Fan said in a deep voice, "Keep it in your heart, and don't tell anyone."
Chen Fan's face was a little solemn. He had a vague feeling that it should be a very dangerous thing for the ghost fleet to greet him - otherwise, why would the ghost fleet choose such a unique node to greet him?
Node universe, anti-universe...
After careful calculation, he has dealt with the ghost fleet a lot, but only this time, an abnormal phenomenon appeared in Kraken's memory!
This can't be a coincidence!
[I, I know...]
Kraken's voice seemed to reveal some grievances: [I won't say anything casually...]
Looking at the slightly undulating sea of light, Chen Fan laughed dumbly.
"Don't worry, I won't hit you."
[...Really? ] A stream of information came carefully.
The child was really scared of being beaten.
Chen Fan straightened his expression and assured Kraken: "Really."
After that, he silently added the rest of the sentence in his heart: As long as you don't commit suicide.
Of course.
With the ghost fleet in front, Kraken should not have the courage.
On the other hand.
From the current point of view, there are too many secrets hidden in the anti-universe bubble.
If you want to find out the truth, Kraken, this "living fossil", is definitely a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
Therefore, for the follow-up investigation, Chen Fan also hopes to have a good relationship with Kraken.
On the other hand, Kraken did not have so many twists and turns. After hearing Chen Fan's promise, his interest was obviously raised, and the fluctuations of the sea of light also increased.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan chuckled, temporarily putting aside the many distractions and confusions in his mind, and then continued to ask: "Tell me again, what else happened in this universe bubble after they left?"
[After they left...]
Kraken thought for a while and fell into memories: [I am silently waiting for the birth of the next civilization in the place of creation. 】
【They didn't tell me the exact time. Of course, I didn't dare to ask more at that time, but I thought, since they said so, the time in between won't be too long...】
The resentment in Kraken's words suddenly increased a lot: 【Who knew, this wait would be hundreds of millions of years! 】
【During this period, I fell asleep countless times, and they never appeared. 】
【Every time I woke up, I would search carefully in the starry sky, but I never found any trace of life from beginning to end. 】
【Until one time, a mixed wave of information floated through the starry sky, and I woke up from my sleep. 】
Kraken's information flow continued to come: 【The source of the information flow is an extremely ordinary and ordinary planet. Out of curiosity, I followed the information flow and entered this planet. 】
【Before falling asleep, I checked this planet. 】
【At that time, the planet was barren, but after falling asleep, it was filled with lush forests and various strange creatures. 】
【Although these creatures had little intelligence and did not notice my existence, I was still very happy at that time, because I knew that the long wait might be over. 】
【I remember very clearly that at that time, there was a very strong thunderstorm on the planet. 】
【Strong convection swept across most of the planet, and the sky was filled with thick lightning. 】
【At the end of the information flow, I saw some strange-looking little guys sitting around a deep cave entrance. 】
【They were different from those creatures in the forest, and they had a considerable degree of intelligence. 】
【These little guys were shining with white light, and they were holding some stones that also emitted light in their hands. Those mixed information fluctuations came from these glowing stones. 】
Chen Fan's eyes moved, and he understood in his heart.
This should be referring to the newly born Xinaluo people. As for those stones, there is no doubt that they must be the light stones under the ground of Xinaluo's mother planet.
The strong thunderstorm weather brought enough strong stimulation to the light stones, causing them to release the internal disturbance information flow.
[I finally waited for the second civilization in the universe. At that time, I was so happy that I couldn't wait to run to the front of those little guys. ]
[Maybe my appearance scared these little guys. These little guys fled and hid in the caves nearby. They even took out some weapons made of stones to drive me away. ]
[In order to communicate with them as soon as possible and to protect these little guys from the influence of this severe convective weather, I helped them disperse the thunderclouds in the sky. You know, this matter is nothing to me. I can control such a large nebula, let alone a small thundercloud. 】
Kraken muttered: 【This worked very well. After the initial panic, they began to walk out of the cave. After seeing the red starlight gathering in the sky, they suddenly began to kneel down and worship me...】
【I don't know whether this situation is good or bad, and they didn't tell me about it. 】
【In short, in order to complete the task as quickly as possible, I passed on some simple knowledge about smelting metals to these gadgets according to their requirements. 】
【After completing this task, I left this planet. They reminded me to try not to interfere with the development of this civilization...】
Chen Fan looked at Kraken in astonishment, and his expression became distorted.
Non-interference?
You call this non-interference?
From Kraken's description, it is not difficult to see that the Xinaluo people at that time were obviously still in the Paleolithic Age, and it is very likely that they had just formed a small settlement. As a result, you turned around and taught others how to smelt metals...
Didn't this directly allow the Xinaluo people to skip the entire Stone Age and enter the Bronze Age? !
It's theological worship, and it's teaching technology that far exceeds the level of civilization...
If Kraken did these things in the human union's pan-universe, he would have been sent to a military court long ago!
[After leaving this planet, I silently watched the development of these little guys in the starry sky. ]
[From making the first iron tool to establishing the first country; from steam engines to internal combustion engines; from wars to global unification; from entering the ocean to entering the starry sky...]
Speaking of this, the information sent by Kraken revealed a sigh: [Every time these little guys pray, I will give a little hint based on the information they tell me. ]
Listening to Kraken's memories, Chen Fan was secretly amazed.
Good guy.
Senior "Civilization 6" player!
[Just like this, ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years... These little guys finally began to cast their eyes on the distant starry sky. ]
[Just when I was about to forget the three prophecies, the starry sky showed some abnormal changes.
Kraken said with some fear: [Although it is difficult for my consciousness to leave this star field, I can still observe the surrounding starry sky with the help of gravitational waves and the warp channels throughout the universe. ] [
That day, the abnormally chaotic gravitational waves brought a message. ]
[Something appeared near a black hole deep in the universe. ]
[It was not until then that I remembered the three prophecies, and I knew that the invasion of the alien world had finally come. ]
[I followed their instructions and passed on the first two prophecies to the little guy of the Xinaluo civilization. ] [
In this way, time passed by little by little, and the Xinaluo civilization gradually fell into decline from its heyday. Their queen prayed to me, praying for a way to prevent the Xinaluo civilization from declining, and also praying for a warp channel to a more distant galaxy. ]
[I didn't want to answer her. ]
[I know that the galaxy next door has been occupied by the bugs from the alien world. ]
[But... they said that I can't stop any decision of the Xinaluo civilization. ]
[So. ]
[When the queen started praying to me for the third time, I told her the coordinates of a warp channel. ]
[Follow-up...]
Kraken sighed sadly: [The invasion came, the Xinalo civilization was forced to leave, the place of creation was destroyed, and I fell into a deep sleep. ]
...
Kraken's memories ended.
Chen Fan also fell into deep thought.
It is not difficult to see from Kraken's words that the time when the starry sky giant scorpions appeared was much earlier than the time recorded by the Xinalo civilization, which also explains why the entire universe is full of giant scorpions.
It's just...
"Do you still remember the specific time when those starry sky giant scorpions appeared in the universe?" Chen Fan asked in a deep voice.
[Let me think about it...] Kraken recalled carefully: [You know, I'm not very sensitive to time...]
For a long time.
[Probably...]
Kraken said uncertainly: [If I remember correctly, it should be 20,000 to 30,000 years ago? ]
20,000 to 30,000 years ago!
This number instantly touched Chen Fan's nerves, and he asked anxiously: "Then where are the black holes where they appeared?!"
"I want specific coordinates!!"
The ocean of starlight slowly rose and fell, and a very certain stream of information came out of it: [This is simple. ]
[It is the largest black hole in this universe, that is, the central black hole of the universe. ]
Boom! ! !
Chen Fan only felt a roar in his mind.
It's right, everything is right!
30,000 years ago, the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion invaded the node universe and happened to collide with the high-spirited [Su Zheng].
The two sides fell into a tense battle until [Su Zheng] burned his boats and used the majestic gravity caused by the collision of countless black holes to cause severe damage to the giant scorpions, and also repelled these invaders.
By chance, the starry sky giant scorpions happened to enter the inner channel of the central black hole and successfully arrived at the anti-universe inside the hyperspace membrane!
But...
why are the starry sky giant scorpions in the anti-universe so weak, and their size is far less than the giant scorpions that [Su Zheng] encountered?
Chen Fan couldn't figure out the reason for a while, but he knew that this universe was definitely not as simple as he had imagined before!
Not to mention the unknown existence that attacked the ghost fleet across the long river of time and space, just the few starry sky giant scorpions that [Su Zheng] encountered were not easy to mess with!
So.
Where did these powerful starry sky giant scorpions go?
There is no need to think about it. The scorpion group is there, and the real giant scorpions must also be in this universe. It is very likely that they are hiding in the central black hole of the anti-universe!
"Wait..."
Chen Fan frowned again as if he had thought of something.
Since they are all in the central black hole, why didn't the investigator starship and the scientific research ship encounter each other when they entered the anti-universe?
You know, they also entered the anti-universe through the central black hole of the node universe!
After a brief thought, Chen Fan had an epiphany - after repelling the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion, in order to prevent them from attacking again, [Su Zheng] moved a large number of black holes, and this behavior completely changed the distribution pattern of black holes in the node universe.
In other words,
the central black hole of the node universe does not correspond to the central black hole of the anti-universe!
