Standing in Iona's control room again, looking at the starry sky in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He didn't know if his speculation was correct, but if it was the same as Fang Zheng thought, then he would have a freer choice - Tiandao Palace didn't need to be secluded in a corner of this world, but could directly serve as a real city outside the sky. Not only that, Fang Zheng might be able to start new explorations by exploring other places... In short, once they set foot in the sea of stars, they would be able to do a lot more things. After all, compared to the ground, the universe gave people more freedom.
"Set off."
Fang Zheng nodded at Iona, and soon, three warships led by Iona quickly took off and flew high into the sky.
"Current altitude... 8,000 meters..."
Iona reported to Fang Zheng while operating the warship.
"Nine thousand meters... Ten thousand meters..."
It should be said that they are worthy of being space battleships. In just a few minutes, the three battleships reached an altitude of 30,000 meters. What made Fang Zheng excited was that this time his system interface was normal and no warning popped up.
It seems that my guess is correct!
"Keep going up."
"Yes, Captain."
Following Fang Zheng's order, the warships accelerated their ascent again, and in front of Fang Zheng's eyes, the originally azure sky began to gradually darken. The three warships passed through the clouds and soared into the sky. In less than five minutes, the three warships broke through the atmosphere and arrived outside this continent... Finally, when the warships turned around again, Fang Zheng saw the true face of the continent he lived in for the first time.
It was a huge blue planet.
From the outside, it looked very similar to the photos of the Earth from outer space that Fang Zheng had seen in his memory, but there were also many differences. For example, in some areas of this planet, Fang Zheng could clearly see patches of dark, turbid things covering the surface of the planet. It looked as if there were several ulcers on this planet. In addition, at the poles, Fang Zheng could see something like a tornado, which rotated to form a vortex. From the poles deep into the interior of the planet, Fang Zheng could see a steady stream of clouds and mist pouring out of it, as if the poles of this planet were "creating" clouds and mist in this way.
But luckily...
"Fortunately, it's still a round ball."
Fang Zheng reached out his hand, pressed his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had thought so before, Fang Zheng was still a little worried. What if the physical rules of this world were different from what he knew? In fact, Fang Zheng had prepared himself to find that their world was a chessboard after he left the planet... Now it seemed that the rules of operation of this world were still normal...
"drop--!"
But before Fang Zheng could finish his breath, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded, startling Fang Zheng. He originally thought that it was his system that issued another warning, but when he saw the flashing red light in front of him, Fang Zheng realized that the warning came from the battleship itself.
"Report to the captain, we have discovered a large number of unidentified objects in high orbit..."
"Unidentified object?"
Fang Zheng was shocked when he heard Iona's report. Soon, Iona also stretched out her hand and swept forward. As she moved, the screen in front of Fang Zheng changed.
In the dark starry sky, a golden metal object shaped like a four-cornered starfish was quietly suspended in orbit. In fact, Fang Zheng knew at a glance that this must be the work of the Goddess of Order.
Hmm? Why, you ask?
Just look at the curved tentacles and the equally curved patterns on them! This is definitely from the same family as the bathhouse Fang Zheng went to before!
If there were only one or two, there wouldn't be a problem. At most, the Goddess of Order wanted to make a transatlantic call or watch a satellite channel, so she sent two satellites to herself. Fang Zheng could understand this... But the problem was, there were thousands of these things!!
That's right, these things that look like twisted starfish are almost densely packed around all the high and low latitudes of the entire planet! If you look from the outside, Fang Zheng is sure that this planet looks like a canary trapped in a round metal cage!
"Nymph, check and see what these are."
At this moment, Fang Zheng no longer had the leisure to "come out and see what his own starry sea looks like". After all, he had traveled through so many worlds and was no longer the young man he was at the beginning. The number of these "satellites" was obviously unusual. And judging from their appearance, it was more like they were locking up the entire planet. Of course, this was just a metaphor. It was very easy for Fang Zheng's warship to pass through the gaps between these satellites. But he didn't do it. If this was really something the goddess did, then why did she do such a thing?
Is this thing used to deal with the inside... or the outside?
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Nymph also started to act immediately. Her eyes quickly showed a series of light circles, which began to rotate and search. At this time, Nymph's voice was transformed into a robot-like electronic sound again.
"Target scanning begins... Judging, energy field core fluctuations are detected, judging... Firewall is detected, bypassing the firewall... Success, entering the first layer... Data is encrypted. Decryption begins... Warning, abnormal intrusion means are discovered, and there are ten seconds left before the counterattack mechanism is triggered... Nine seconds..."
"Oh my god!"
At the same time, Fang Zheng discovered that the originally silent starfish in all directions suddenly began to flash gradually. At the same time, news came from Iona.
"A high-energy reaction has been detected inside the satellite!"
At this moment, Nymph was still carrying out her task at a leisurely pace.
"Decryption successful, entering the first-level database, shutting down the defense device... reading the data..."
Having said that, Nymph closed her eyes and let out a long breath.
"Data synchronization completed, start playing."
As she spoke, Nymph opened the personal terminal in front of her and pressed a few buttons on it. Soon, Fang Zheng saw a voice suddenly sounded on the big screen in front of him.
"Hey, hello, my dear children."
The voice was a female one. It was hard to tell her age, but she should be very young, and her tone was cheerful.
"I am the goddess of order. I don't know if you still remember me, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that since you can access my message, it means you already have the skills and ability to go to the starry sea. By the way, did the alarm just now scare you? Hahaha, I designed it on purpose, mainly to scare you and test your determination. Now it seems that you are quite capable. If you are unhappy, come and hit me!"
“…”
Why does this sound so annoying?
At this moment, the voice suddenly changed from its original cheerful tone to serious.
"Well, although I also hope to talk more with me and my children, unfortunately this is a recording. I can't see you anymore, and I don't know what you will become. But I am very happy that you can leave this cradle. I hope you remember that the star sea is a very dangerous world. Our enemies have never given up on destroying us all... Although I am sorry, you can't leave here for the time being. You must prove that you can pass the test, otherwise, even if you are my most lovely children, I can't let you go just like that."
At this time, the voice regained its original joy.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to remind you. This test is not so easy to pass, and don't forget that Chaos will always be our enemy. Oh, do you see these satellites? Yes, this is prepared for you. If your world has been eroded by Chaos to the point where it cannot be restored, then the 'Everyone Come Together' system will be activated immediately and burn all life on this planet to ashes. Don't hate me. Although I don't want to do this, but since you have come to this point, then I have no choice but to do this... Don't worry, you will not perish. When this era ends, new life will be reincarnated again, and I will pray for them... So if you can't do it, it's because you don't work hard. Don't blame me. A dragon will also push a baby dragon off a cliff to let it grow. As a mother, this is all I can do."
At this point, the voice chuckled.
"By the way, I will send you the coordinates. They contain everything you want to know, and the password to open it is from the Holy Book..."
But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that at the end of the speech, he suddenly fell silent.
"What's going on?"
"…The playback is over."
“……???”
"That's the end of the record, Master."
Noticing Fang Zheng's puzzled look, Nymph spoke.
"There is only one piece of information left."
As he was speaking, a line of very strange text appeared on the screen in front of Fang Zheng.
"What's this?"
"These are the coordinates left by the ancient language, and..."
"besides……"
"There's one more sentence... 'I didn't finish it on purpose, hahaha, guess it yourself!'..."
“…”
Can I strangle the goddess of order to death?
