On the battlefield.

Su Ziyu's expression was dazed for a moment, not because he was distracted at this critical moment, but because the divinity value from the ancient abomination still retained some memories and information.

He saw a deep and dark void, and countless purple, sand-like energies formed a galaxy as gorgeous as a gauze curtain.

This is the virtual world.

A crystal wall space at a high latitude.

All beings that can move here are conscious beings, and the lowest level also moves in the form of spirits. Sometimes, you will even encounter huge and majestic beings in the form of ether. They are called guides by the outside world. Most of the races that have performed [Psychic Ascension] have had contact with these guides. But not all guides are friendly, and some may even be disguised by some unknown terrifying creatures.

The virtual world attaches great importance to contracts.

If one wants to obtain the ultimate result of [Psychic Ascension] in the virtual world and enjoy the gift from the virtual world, the endless psychic power, then all races that are undergoing psychic ascension must sign a contract with the guides.

Very unfortunate.

The contract signed by the Empire's Emperor Edward I was - [Whisper of the Void].

This is a typical virtual world trap.

Generally speaking, if a race relies on research and climbing the technology tree to obtain the conditions for psychic ascension, they will be very clear about how deceptive things are in this contract, and they will also understand how terrifying it is to have this contract.

But it's a pity.

The empire on this planet did not rely on its own abilities to climb the technology tree. Instead, they accepted gifts from the ancient lost empire and entered the interstellar psychic age directly from the feudal age. At the peak of their territory, they even colonized neighboring galaxies.

certainly.

They did not have the ability to build spaceships, they just repaired a starship of the Lost Empire that had warp travel capabilities.

Edward I was unaware of the trap, and neither did the rest of the empire foresee it.

They signed the contract with great joy and accepted the gift from the virtual world.

Grace has come.

The vast psychic energy of the virtual world descended upon the empire through the star gate. For a time, almost everyone could use psychic energy. They could easily learn all kinds of psychic knowledge by contacting spirits, and even cross the barrier of the crystal wall system to allow their consciousness to briefly enter the virtual world.

But soon the pollution began.

The outbreak of [Whisper of the Void] caused all the high-ranking officials of the empire to fall in a very short period of time. A huge amount of negative energy began to gather and form, directly contaminating their spiritual body that was condensed by the power of the empire, a pan-conscious body called the 'Void Saint'.

Destruction is coming.

In those fragmented consciousnesses, Su Ziyu saw an extremely huge phantom, like a bare planet, which swallowed up all the spirits the moment it appeared.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Psychic shock detected!..."

The sudden sense of crisis interrupted Su Ziyu's consciousness. He quickly cut off the information attached to the divinity and reached out to grab the ancient abomination in front of him.

The flow rate of consciousness is actually different from that of the outside world. Su Ziyu was in a trance for about one second.

But the amount of information he received was quite huge.

boom!

The ground beneath Su Ziyu's feet suddenly cracked, and just as he reached out to grab Edward I's head, a huge worm instantly emerged from the ground, biting directly at the corpse of the ancient abomination with its bloody mouth. Before Su Ziyu could react, only the head of Edward I in his hand was left, and the part below the neck was actually swallowed by the ash worm.

Acid spurted out from the sky.

The giant scorpion in the distance also turned its gun and aimed at the Su Ziyu, and dozens of shells attacked in an instant.

"not good."

"Those bugs even want to kill me!" Su Ziyu held Edward I's lonely head, leaped to a height of hundreds of meters, and then stretched out his hand to grab at the sky.

——"Lightning Storm!"

Rumble.

Dense swarms of electric snakes burst out in an instant.

Almost at the moment when Su Ziyu launched the lightning storm, hundreds of lightning bolts fell, and the figures of spiky flying dragons, queen insects, and king insects fell from the sky, and fell to the ground like dumplings and shattered.

Unfortunately, the number of insects is still too large.

There are still more than 100,000 Zergs on the entire battlefield, and Su Ziyu simply cannot defeat them. The reason why he can easily kill the ancient abomination is that the Zerg first consumed most of the enemy's strength.

The two layers of energy field protection of the ancient abomination were broken by them.

"Let's retreat first." Su Ziyu decisively broke out of the battlefield.

He has the ability to challenge one hundred, one thousand, or even ten thousand alien insects, but if the number increases to more than one hundred thousand, his chances of winning are extremely low.

The lightning storm that had just been summoned directly killed thousands of alien insects and cleared an area in the sky. Su Ziyu broke through in the direction where there were no enemies. After breaking through the outer interference barrier, he immediately used teleportation to leave the battlefield.

"Don't chase me."

"Bring back the body of Natural Disaster!" A faint murmur sounded.

The ash worms underground bit off most of the ancient abomination's body in one bite and then burrowed back underground. The cooperation of the Zerg swarm was very tacit. As soon as the ash worms succeeded, the other Zergs immediately launched an attack on Su Ziyu, not giving him any chance to buffer.

If he walked a little slower, he would be surrounded by more than 100,000 insects.

——"Broken Dark Crown [Legend]: One of the gifts from the virtual world, an ominous object with the curse of the void, which can greatly enhance the upper limit of one's own psychic energy, while connecting consciousness to a certain existence in the virtual world and listening to its whispers." [Alert! This item has an unknown curse! ]

Su Ziyu accelerated and rushed into the forest, then came to where Queen Isabella was again.

He reached out and lifted up Queen Isabella, who was still unconscious, and then evacuated away from the swarm of insects.

The Space-Time Monitor System showed an abnormal prompt at the end.

Su Ziyu didn't quite understand some of the clues, but that didn't stop him from noticing the last item.

——"Star Destroyer Weapons Are Coming!"

There must be some unknown terrifying existence behind the ancient abomination. It seems that it has some purpose in enslaving Edward I. After the chess piece was killed, this existence became a little angry and embarrassed, and even locked the space-time monitor system on Su Ziyu.

So much so that the space-time monitor system automatically sent out a distress signal.

This is something that has never happened before.

In this case, Queen Isabella in front of us is very important, because if there is anyone on this planet who knows where the spaceship is, then this person must be Queen Isabella in front of us.

With Su Ziyu's current abilities, it would be difficult for him to fight against beings with star-destroying abilities. Whether it is an unknown terrifying creature or a battleship equipped with star-destroying weapons, he has no chance of winning. At this time, he can only see if the distress signal from the Space-Time Monitor System is useful. If not, Su Ziyu will need a spaceship for evacuation.

"grass."

"From now on, you can no longer easily enter planes with high energy levels and high civilization levels."

"The difficulty of the double highs is simply abnormal!..." Su Ziyu looked at the countdown prompted by the Space-Time Monitor System and couldn't help but curse.

There is a lot of information in Edward I's residual consciousness.

Including star gods, ancient saints, chaos gods, ancient alien species, etc., this crystal wall universe can be said to be full of pits, and the dangers in the Milky Way are innumerable. A planet can be completely slaughtered at any time.

It was precisely because he knew this that Edward I could not wait to perform psychic ascension, because only by successfully achieving psychic ascension could they gain a firm foothold in the Milky Way.

Otherwise.

Whether it is demons, orcs, void elves, alien insects, etc., or any other unknown creatures, they can completely destroy the civilization on this planet.

This is not a joke.

Not to mention the existence of the aforementioned star gods, ancient saints, chaos gods, ancient alien species, etc., just the orcs of this crystal wall system are extremely terrifying enemies.

The orcs currently in the Crystal Wall system belong to a special interstellar race.

They are called Orks, Barbarians, Greenskins, a race created by the Old Ones that have undergone [Genetic Ascension].

The orcs' genetic genes are composed of a plant spiral and an animal spiral, which enables them to have hard green skin that can carry out photosynthesis and the most important asexual reproduction ability, while also being able to think and act freely like animals.

They are only keen on war, and they are happy as long as there is a war. In the era of the ancient lost empire, orcs were once one of the most powerful enemies of mankind.

They roared loudly: "WAAAGH!!!"

Conquer. Destroy.

Planets in the Milky Way fell one after another, finally forcing the Ancient Lost Empire to gather a huge army and mobilize more than a dozen Space Marine Legions, which defeated them and temporarily drove them out of the Milky Way.

The Orcs are creations of [Gene Ascension].

They can reproduce asexually, split and regenerate. As long as there is a suitable environment, the hair, skin, blood, etc. dropped by the Orks will grow like "seeds", and finally grow into something similar to a mushroom. Under the mushroom is an egg, and inside the egg is a newborn Ork. Genetic ascension has given them innate engineering technology, just like a dragon. They can obtain a lot of knowledge programmed in their genes when they are born. Although the creations of the Orks look a bit rough and ridiculous, they can be used as long as they are pieced together, and can even travel in space, because these monsters also have consciousness force fields. Even if they hold a simple wooden stick, as long as they think it is useful, this stick can smash a tank. This ability is still a mystery for the time being. It is called the "WAAAAGH force field" and is the product of consciousness distorting reality.

The Orks are just one example in the current universe, and there are many other races as dangerous as them.

It is precisely because of knowing this.

That was why Edward I was so eager to perform [Psychic Ascension] that he even gambled the fate of the entire empire on it.

In the known universe.

Only races that have undergone [Genetic Ascension], [Psychic Ascension] and [Mechanical Ascension] can truly gain a foothold in the Milky Way.

Otherwise, the whole race may be wiped out at any time and the entire planet may be reduced to ruins.

In a gorgeous star ring composed of countless golden gravel.

They flow slowly around a city in the center like a miniature Milky Way. It is a magnificent city completely independent of the void. From afar, countless majestic buildings can be seen with walls cast with blue-green steel-like material. Occasionally, bursts of terrifying roars can be heard from the deepest part of the building.

It was an indescribable whisper, a tremor deep into the soul, and an irresistible murmur.

Anyone who comes into contact with them will completely lose their consciousness in an instant and become a puppet controlled by them.

But now they are all locked up.

This is a prison.

A prison that has existed for countless years.

At this moment, in a hall of this magnificent city, phantoms were slowly walking in.

At the entrance of the hall are two silver-white statues, their eyes shining like diamonds, their hands are empty, but they are standing motionless in front of the hall as if holding a sword with both hands.

In the center of the hall is a swirling nebula.

The ground was light blue crystal, and you could see the void beneath your feet. On all four sides there were some golden chairs that seemed to be in the clouds. After they sat down, these phantoms gradually turned from virtual to real, and became different figures.

This seems to be their incarnation.

There were four incarnations sitting on the golden chair.

Da da da.

A rhythmic knocking sound was heard, followed by a calm male voice: "Everyone."

"I just received a message."

"The Time Dragon's lair discovered the Time and Space Supervisor's distress signal. This is the first time we have received a signal from the Supervisor since the destruction of the upper area of ​​the Time and Space Temple."

"It is very likely that there are still successors in their lineage."

The man's words made everyone look at each other in surprise. Then an old man with rings on his fingers stood up and frowned, saying, "The Overseers are different from us Guardians. They can easily cross the crystal wall barrier to carry out their missions."

"And our mission is to guard one of the crystal wall systems."

"Unless we get the key to the upper area, it will be difficult for us to leave our own crystal wall system to provide support."

"Besides, there are only four time and space guardians in the temple now."

"The areas we are guarding are either filled with sealed ancient evils or have a large number of pollution sources. In some places, there are even wars between gods."

"I'm afraid it will be hard to get away."

After hearing the old man's words, everyone else fell silent.

Then, the man who spoke first said, "This is why I summoned you all. The power of the Space-Time Hub is insufficient."

"We are all guardians of time and space who were promoted in the last three thousand years. The areas we are responsible for are very troublesome."

"But we have lost the space-time signal from the Supervisor for a long time."

"This is our only chance to retrieve the Spacetime Overseer."

"If it works."

"The supervisor system of the Spacetime Center has been restored, and everyone here will also have a way to cross the Crystal Wall System."

There was a brief silence.

After weighing the pros and cons, one of the figures, whose face was completely blurred by light and shadow, spoke up. The voice was a cold female voice, and she said slowly: "If we gather the strength of the four of us guardians of time and space, we may be able to open the barrier of the crystal wall system and temporarily enter the long river of time and space."

"But we can only send one person in at most."

"But the question is who can go?"

There was another silence.

The man who spoke first spread his hands and said, "In the area I'm responsible for, the Death God System is at war with other God Systems. I definitely can't get away."

"There is a plutonium dragon in the area I'm responsible for. If we don't keep an eye on it, the world may be destroyed at any time." The old man on the side also shook his head.

The female figure also sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't leave for the time being."

"In the area I'm responsible for, some abnormal changes have occurred in the remains of the ancient gods, and the breath of the void has been detected nearby."

The hall fell silent again.

The man who spoke first thought for a moment and said, "Can't we open the crystal wall barrier a little bigger? I do have a few idle floating cities that can navigate the star realm, equipped with star-destroying weapons. If we can send one over, I guess it won't be a big problem."

"I can't do it." The woman who turned into light and shadow shook her head decisively.

At this time, the figure who had been silent spoke. He did not seem to be a human, but had transformed into a humanoid form. It was unclear what he was specifically. He only said in a low voice: "How about we send the Neutron Star Golem over there?"

"Nonsense!" the old man said in a low voice, "There is no Neutron Star Golem guarding it?"

"What if those ghosts in the prison get out?"

The group fell silent again.

Finally, it was the man who spoke first who spoke. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I do have a friend who can withstand the turbulence of time and space. He is not a god himself, so he is not restricted by the laws of the crystal wall system."

"I don't know if it's okay to send her over there."

The old man at the side asked, "Can she deal with an ancient evil creature?"

"40-60," the man thought for a moment and said, "But she is immortal. As long as one of her cells survives, she can be resurrected. It should be no problem to save the space-time monitor."

"We can save the crystal wall problem for later."

"First, rescue the people from the Supervisor Department."

"They are the only ones who know the whereabouts of the key to the upper area. Without their help, it would be difficult for us to enter the Sea of ​​Time and Sand."

"There is no space-time monitor."

"The Temple of Time and Space is still incomplete if it is maintained by us guardians alone."

“No matter how strong we are.”

"They will also be trapped in their own crystal wall systems."

A moment’s silence.

The old man was the first to speak: "I agree."

The woman transformed by light and shadow also nodded and said, "I agree."

"I have no objection." The humanoid figure said, "In that case, then summon the Time Dragon."

"We can't do without their help this time."

"The lair of the time dragon is our only way to get close to the river of time and space."

Speaking of this.

The humanoid figure hesitated and said, "Actually, I still think it would be safer to send the Neutron Star Golem over there."

"After all, that is the Crystal Wall System where [Racial Ascension] exists."

The other three guardians present shook their heads and rejected the idea: "The Neutron Star Golem must not be moved."
