Chapter 252: Core Void
Guided by the consciousness of his ancestors, Sitar's true identity was finally revealed.
He is proof of the existence of that glorious era.
That glorious era that brought the Zerg to their peak ultimately ended in the near annihilation of the entire race.
The purification effect of the luminous energy can only be applied to the next generation of insect eggs.
The remaining Zerg adults gradually perished due to the enemy's genetic attacks.
The new era is not just about purifying genes, but also about cleaning up the consciousness network. The Zerg's social model has created a situation where both their genes and mental consciousness influence and spread among them.
This is why Sevier and the others were unable to obtain Sitar's inherited memories within the consciousness network.
Only by connecting with the consciousness of the ancestor in the temple can one learn about his origins.
The Temple is a separate consciousness network for the Zerg, storing all of their memories from the early days of their consciousness network to the present. It receives information from the Zerg collective consciousness network in one direction, thus preventing incompatible consciousnesses from affecting the consciousness network and ensuring that the Zerg do not lose their most important heritage.
They can come here to trace their origins and forever know where they came from and who they are.
Within the temple, not only is the consciousness of the ancestors preserved, but also the consciousness of all the Zerg Overlords.
Anno saw the Zerg Queen of the Sital era.
Her consciousness formed a semi-transparent body and appeared before her and Sitar.
To Anno's surprise, in an era when all the Zerg were incredibly volatile, this Zerg queen looked remarkably gentle.
She could sense the Queen's spiritual message and memories, without any sign of agitation.
She thought that perhaps the Zerg's successful transformation, which cleansed most of the violent genes, was partly due to the Zerg Queen's efforts.
Because the Zerg Queen can influence the entire Zerg population.
“Anunu, you guessed right.”
The Queen sensed Anunu's thoughts and responded to them.
"Perhaps the Zerg genes foresaw this day and made changes to my genes."
"But I still cannot prevent the extinction of my ethnic group in my time."
The Queen's voice was gentle and compassionate, and Anno felt a deep sadness and melancholy in her heart as she listened.
Her explanation sounded like a lament.
"Fortunately, the Zerg have managed to survive, which is very gratifying."
A smile appeared on her face as she looked at Sitar. "Sitar, congratulations, you've found your queen."
After saying that, she flew to Anunu and kissed her forehead. "Anunu, I also give you my blessings. May you be happy and joyful for the rest of your long life."
Her figure receded and gradually disappeared. "You will lead the Zerg into a new golden age."
"May my Zerg race live on forever."
Anno and the other three bowed their heads respectfully and uttered the same words.
Before the Queen's figure completely disappeared, she pointed her finger at Anno's chest.
An image popped up, and Anno saw her own core in her consciousness.
Its core is radiant and dazzling, like a star in the universe.
The core slowly rotated, and after rotating half a circle, Anno noticed a blackened area on the core.
It's like a hole exposed in the earth's surface.
She paused, wondering why her core area was black.
She couldn't help but place her hand on the core of her chest, and at that moment, she seemed to feel a strange emptiness.
I feel a sudden, inexplicable unease.
Just like a black hole in the universe, it will devour all matter.
After the ancestor's consciousness network was shut down, Anno stood there in a daze.
Sitar noticed that something was wrong with her, turned to look at her, and with a quick thought, knew what she was thinking.
Sitar's expression changed slightly, he frowned and said, "Your core has a hole?"
Anno pondered for a moment: "I just realized that too."
Sevier and Augsis exchanged a surprised glance. They had both seen the void in Anno's core in their consciousness networks. They stepped forward and asked her, "Baby, did anything else happen to you in the parallel universe?"
Their consciousness network is mainly used for communication; they won't specifically access memories unless absolutely necessary.
Biological memory is extremely complex, with memories being generated every minute and every second, making them difficult to retrieve.
That's why Anno chose to hide the fact that he had used primal energy from Sevier and the others.
Anno shook his head at them.
She was also puzzled.
Although the primal energy comes from the core, even though Sevier used a large amount of primal energy, it did not have any effect on her core.
Anno placed his hand on his chest, feeling the energy in his core. He didn't notice anything unusual, but seeing the emptiness caused some unpleasant psychological effects.
After all, the core is too important to the Ohmu, and seeing a hole suddenly appear would make them feel uncomfortable.
Since even Anno herself didn't understand, the three of them, including Sitar, couldn't find out the reason from her consciousness either.
After thinking for a while, Augsis said solemnly, "Beihe stole Anunu's core before, and it was probably Beihe's doing."
Sevier grasped Anno's hand and used her primal energy to probe her core, examining it carefully. She found nothing amiss, as if the void was merely a mark on the core.
This is why they hadn't noticed the hole in the core before, because it hadn't affected Anunu.
Sevier and the others dared not let their guard down; if Anunu's core was compromised, it would have a fatal impact on her.
The most likely explanation now is that Anuno's core encountered a problem when it was in the North River.
Sevier is going to the front-line base soon, as the interstellar war is nearing its end. She can't stay in the palace all day, and any problems that arise won't be easy to handle in a timely manner.
Perfect timing! She can use this time to investigate the Anunu Core.
Fearing that Beihe might have done something to the core of Anunu, she couldn't investigate openly, and could only instruct her family to investigate secretly.
Among the relatives who had been transferred from Beihe, several core researchers who had made contact with Beihe were interviewed.
Those high-ranking personnel who initially came into contact with the core members either died in the Zerg's campaign or were imprisoned in the Alliance's space prison.
When Sevier sent people to the space prison to look for people, she found that everyone imprisoned in the space prison was dead, except for Dennis.
All of this made her feel increasingly uneasy.
The high-ranking personnel imprisoned in the space prison all died from illnesses caused by declining bodily functions.
The space prison is strictly managed. If any prisoner has any health problems, they will receive immediate treatment. There is no possibility of someone dying from illness in the space prison.
But he died, and Dennis was the only one left.
In such cases, it could be due to either intentional delay in treatment, a rapid onset of illness that prevents timely intervention, or a severe condition that makes resuscitation impossible.
The information Sevier found out was that the illness progressed too quickly and there was no way to save it.
Now, the only person we can ask is Dennis.
However, Dennis has remained silent ever since he was brought before the Supreme Court of the league. He seems to care about nothing anymore, and no matter what method is used, he has never uttered a single word.
Even as he watched Beihe surrender and gradually fall into the hands of the Zerg and the Tianyun Alliance, he remained indifferent and watched from the sidelines.
You won't get anything out of him.
After searching for several days, I still found nothing.
They cracked Beihe's confidential documents about the core, which were completely blank.
The more Sevier investigated, the heavier her mood became.
It's impossible that nothing could be found. The records about the Anunu Core were destroyed too thoroughly; this was clearly premeditated.
In the royal palace, Anno is on the phone with Karina.
She has now gone to Tianyun and is preparing to continue her studies at Tianyun Academy.
Anno hoped that she could find her own future and her own pursuit. Karina couldn't think of what her pursuit was for the time being, so she decided to continue studying.
For the first time, she felt somewhat lost. She wondered if Xiao Qi might transform her and make her her companion.
She has never had any particular interests since childhood, and she treats everything she does as a task to be completed. She is more like and more suited than anyone else to become a Zerg familiar.
But Xiaoqi hopes that she can find her own pursuit and direction in life, not for anyone else, but for herself.
She couldn't express how she felt.
After thinking for a while, she packed her things, said goodbye to her family, and went alone to the best military academy in the Tianyun Galaxy, the Long Star Military Academy on Gemini.
It was also the school that Anaiya graduated from.
If she had to pursue something, the only thing Karina could think of was pursuing the best and the most powerful.
