Chapter 206
After crossing the space-time rift, the square that Ye Bai had seen in his flashback appeared in front of him.
Everything in the square looked exactly as she had seen it in retrospect. For tens of thousands of years, nothing had changed. The molecules that made up the structure of matter seemed to have stopped moving in this area.
Ye Bai's eyes fell on the sphere on the central stone pillar.
The sphere was placed quietly in the center, looking like an ordinary crystal ball.
Ye Bai's figure descended like a ghost and stood next to the sphere in an instant.
This enclosed square is inside a large building, perhaps deep inside the lair of the Church of the Stars. There are also many energy sensing devices here, which are enough to ensure that an alarm will be sounded if the position of a molecule in this space is wrong.
However, Ye Bai's arrival did not cause any warning.
Because when she wants to hide, she can replace all the impacts of her actions on the environment with the 'past' that was not affected by her the moment before.
It's like an ink dot that was supposed to leave a mark on the white layer, but was covered by an identical layer again when it fell.
In this way, the effect achieved is equivalent to erasing one's own existence from a physical level.
The only trace that still exists is at the spiritual level, which cannot be detected by people whose spiritual power is not as good as Ye Bai.
Staring at the sphere, Ye Bai made a preparation. Her figure briefly "flashed" in this universe, and then, as if she had returned from somewhere, she touched the sphere with her mental power.
The moment Ye Bai's mental power touched the sphere, the scene was completely different from what appeared in the flashback.
Without the release of more than six million rays of light, the sphere in front of him was just like when Ye Bai's mental power touched Leren's main control terminal. An ominous red dot suddenly appeared from the very center of the sphere. The red dot expanded rapidly and instantly permeated the entire sphere.
[Stowaway detected! Coordinates (00.00.00)]
[Stowaway detected! Coordinates (00.00.00)]
[Detected…]
Alarm messages came in one after another, not only from the sphere's "main control console", but even the secondary terminal carried by Ye Bai received the message.
But just like the main control terminal before, the secondary terminal's authority was too low, and it lost the main control terminal's function of discovering Ye Bai, the "stowaway". Even if it was on her body, it was only mechanically transmitting information.
The main control terminals in the hands of the members of the Church of the Stars also received the alarm at this time.
A mysterious area that can never be entered normally. It is as big as a planet and a strange mechanical palace stands in it.
This is the center of the universe, and it has existed since the birth of this universe.
At this moment, all the alarm devices outside this bizarre mechanical palace issued messages.
"Who is it?! Leren is dead, and a new master control terminal has been created. How could it be... No, a stowaway? Could it be that last time..."
"These coordinates...how is it possible?!"
In the Mechanical Hall, the members who were carrying out various activities stopped what they were doing and were even more surprised when they saw the enemy's coordinates.
Because that was the very core of the Cathedral of Stars, how did the other party get there without causing any alarm before?!
"Ding! Ka..."
Not only the active personnel, but also the various cryogenic hibernation devices deep in the hall that were heavily protected by large weapons and machinery were activated.
All the members of the Church of the Stars who were in cryogenic hibernation within these devices, with their soul activity limit delayed, were forcibly awakened from their hibernation without exception.
The 'Ancients' who have lived longer know more than the newer members active in the Church today.
These star bishops, who only had a few years left to live and had extremely high status and experience in the church, climbed out of the hibernation capsule excitedly after receiving the message from the stowaway.
These A-level psychics, whose souls have the shortest lifespans, have almost gone mad.
"Stowaway! There really is a stowaway!"
"The one who obliterated the stowaway can make one request to the Lord... and that person must be me!"
The entire Star Church was shaking.
This mysterious organization, which has existed since the beginning of the universe, has a majority of its core forces comprised of A-level personnel, with B-level personnel being considered the very few 'newcomers'.
There are now more than one million people in the Mechanical Hall. As soon as they received the alarm, they rushed to the coordinates as quickly as possible.
In the circular plaza deep in the mechanical hall, the red sphere released an alarm while also launching an attack on Ye Bai.
[Gene erasure program executed...]
Genetic erasure?
The next moment, Ye Bai lowered his head and looked at his hands.
Now, her hand, which had the strength to shatter a planet, broke into pieces bit by bit and turned into carbon-like black-gray dust that fell down.
Her body ignored the current strength and suffered a fundamental genetic collapse.
That's right, genetic collapse.
This kind of genetic collapse phenomenon, which would not necessarily occur if she experienced a large amount of environmental radiation pollution when she was still F-level, occurred rapidly under the execution of this [Gene Erasure Program].
Even if an intelligent life form has undergone extensive mechanical modifications to its body, in order to retain its consciousness and mental strength, it must inevitably leave behind some of its own genes. This method of causing human genes to collapse can be accomplished as long as the genes still exist.
"This must be the most powerful biological annihilation technology of the Church of the Stars..."
Ye Bai raised his palm and watched it melt from the front and back, then fall into ashes.
The petrifying gaze that transforms flesh and blood is not as good as this. The petrifying gaze is also affected by the enemy's size and mental strength, but this can be completely ignored. As long as the genes are there, it can be disintegrated.
After witnessing the attack of the stars, Ye Bai raised his crumbling hand and pressed it towards the sphere that had turned red.
If Ye Bai had come here before he reached level A, he would have suffered unprecedented serious injuries or even died.
But in the next moment, when Ye Bai's wrist, which was almost non-existent, stretched out towards the sphere, the carbon ash that had fallen to the ground before began to fly back up, and fell to its original position like a rewind of the image, and re-formed her palm.
By the time Ye Bai's palm landed on the ball, everything was the same as before.
Ye Bai solved this most terrifying fatal attack in the eyes of all members of the Star Church by using the time it took to fall back on himself.
Gene erasure is still a capability of the three-dimensional universe, but the time ability she now possesses can already transcend the current three-dimensional scale to a certain extent.
However, this one experience alone made Ye Bai basically deny his previous speculation that the real world was also a game.
If the real world was a game, then what she was experiencing now should be a data deletion similar to the "Great Annihilation" in the divine realm, rather than a genetic collapse.
Of course, Ye Bai would not do anything without confidence. After experiencing a brief experience of jumping out of dimension, she was confident that she could handle it even if she really encountered a situation of "data deletion" like in the God Realm.
The current situation is actually much better than she expected.
[Stowaway detected! Coordinates (00.00.00)]
The alarm continued. After Ye Bai touched the ball, unlike Leren's main control terminal at that time, the red "master control terminal" in front of him still had certain anti-theft measures. The information inside was not open to Ye Bai, and only warnings were constantly issued.
However, this doesn't matter to Ye Bai.
Her mental power surged, and a strange light once again lit up in the depths of her pupils. The sphere in her sight continued to regress until it did not turn red.
Here, Ye Bai saw a large number of tasks and technologies.
Ordinary tasks: clear wormholes, guide civilization...
Sure enough, as the headquarters, all the tasks subcontracted by the members of the Church of the Stars to the people of the Chaos Star Sea come from here.
Among ordinary tasks, a wormhole mission is basically generated every few months. In comparison, there are more tasks to guide civilizations, and there are basically several in a month. Because the universe is so huge, even if the density of civilizations is not high, there are still many.
Needless to say, in terms of technology, all kinds of knowledge and technology that Ye Bai had ever seen were here, and the highest authority was the gene erasure program she had just experienced.
This is probably an important weapon that is not easy to deploy within the Church of Stars.
At the same time, Ye Bai saw that the number of master control terminals that could be split from this sphere was fixed at 6895134, which was the same as the number of lights she saw in retrospect.
The latest data shows that the master control terminal recently "recovered" one and has completed the re-split.
Comparing the time, Ye Bai immediately knew that it was the destroyed terminal of Leren. It turned out that even if the terminal was destroyed, it only took time to be reborn here.
That is to say, the direct members of the Church of the Stars will essentially always be fixed at just over 6.8 million people?
In addition, there are two special tasks in this sphere that are not displayed on other main control terminals:
Special Mission 1: Eliminate stowaways immediately upon discovery.
Special Task 2: Explain the meaning of 6895134.
Ye Bai had naturally experienced Task 1 personally, but Task 2 surprised her a little.
Does this number have any special meaning? The maximum number of master control terminals that can be split by the light released by the sphere is also this number. It seems that "Stars" is very eager to know the answer to this number.
Anyone who can complete these two special tasks will have a requirement fulfilled.
This requirement has no prerequisites, perhaps it can be understood as... any requirement?
Ye Bai thought of Leren's expression that suddenly changed when he found out that he was a stowaway. The other party had gone to great lengths to extend the upper limit of his soul, even at the cost of being hunted down by the church. If he could complete this special mission, his previous deeds and life span would probably be wiped out.
It's just that Ye Bai, who has rich experience in being hunted, acted faster.
While Ye Bai was thinking, the retracing did not stop, but happened at an extremely fast speed.
As a core item that has been hidden deep within the Church of the Stars, the location and environment of the sphere has not changed. The only changes are the various data changes inside it. Some core figures of the church have come into contact with it sporadically.
Time quickly went back, Ye Bai frowned and took the initiative to speed up.
The sphere is the true core of the Church of the Stars, and this core should be the item in the entire universe that is most directly related to the spiritual universe. She must trace it back to the moment of its birth.
The birth of the sphere occurred earlier than Ye Bai had expected, so early that even her mental strength, which was difficult to estimate now, caused a huge consumption.
"Buzz."
Finally, after going back several million years, accompanied by a vibration at the consciousness level, Ye Bai felt the "top".
In shock, she saw a scene she had never expected.
The singularity exploded, matter spewed out, and the universe was born.
When the newly born universe came into being, in addition to a large amount of matter still in its original state, this square, this stone pillar, and this sphere were born.
In the sphere of birth, there were lines of information that have now been deleted.
【Universe Restart Completed】
Current Era: 01
[Building Planet: Solar System, Blue Planet (68.951.34)]
[Generate Epoch 00 Carbon-Based Biological Gene Template]
[Injecting the initial memory of the epoch 00 universe structure]
…
The universe has been rebooted... It's now Epoch 01. When did Epoch 00 happen? Before the universe was rebooted, there was actually another universe?!
No wonder Ye Bai felt the top when he went back millions of years, because that was the starting time for the restart of the universe?
In other words, this universe, which, according to the Star Alliance records, appears to have been home to intelligent life for over billions of years, is actually only a million years old. Today's intelligent life is not the result of natural evolution, but rather uses the genetic templates of the previous era?
Because the original genetic template is the same, the gene erasure program can ignore the race and become a powerful killing weapon...
The memories of the universe's more ancient history were actually all instilled later, just like the Mejia and Rojin who were nurtured by the black hole. The technology used by the black hole to achieve this was also exchanged from the technology of the Church of the Stars...
The world is not a game in essence, but the truth is not much better than the world being a game.
Since the beginning of the universe, all civilizations of intelligent life, whether it is the Star Alliance or the Chaos Star Sea, are actually under the control of the "Stars".
Even to this day, the stars are still issuing missions that influence the direction of civilization...
What exactly are the stars? What is the purpose of all this?
Pieces of information similar to the records in the God Realm console, but not completely similar in essence, flashed through Ye Bai's sight. A large number of thoughts rushed through her mind, gathering into storms. When she saw one of them, Ye Bai suddenly stopped, and her whole body trembled as if she had been electrocuted.
【Remaining Tasks】
[The significance of searching for the ultimate answer to the universe 6895134]
[Eradication of the stowaways from Anno 00]
Be wary of the stars, don't be discovered, stowaways, the extra ten thousand years of soul activity limit...all the information that I had been unable to understand before came together at this moment.
Amidst the shock and astonishment, Ye Bai was also overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling. It turned out that she was called a stowaway because she did not actually belong to the current Era 01.
What this stowaway stowed away was not space, but time.
Ye Bai is a historical stowaway from Era 00, before the restart of this universe.
