Ascension journey - 432. Chapter 427 The Future of United Civilization and the Unreliable Ultimate Insurance

The elf high priest in charge of the World Tree Temple heard the red dragon’s words and sighed lightly, and cast his gaze on the small altar in front of the red dragon’s head.

For countless lives who have come to visit and study, the altar woven by vines is always empty, but the high priest can always see a shadow of a branch with vague details on the altar.

“Actually, I never understood…” After a while of silence, the high priest shook his head and said, “…Why can’t even the gods observe the twigs of the world tree that they touch? Seeing its existence, and giving us the special ability to observe the river of destiny…”

“Thanks to this ability, I have lived in worry and fear for most of my life. No matter how hard we try, it is difficult for the elves from scratch to survive the catastrophe of the epoch…” The high priest looked at the red dragon. Smiled, “but your arrival has shattered the shadow that will loom over our clan in the future, and has also shown us the way forward…

“On the day that Lacey’s child concluded the line of faith with you, I truly confirmed the changes in the river of fate and slept a good night without burden… Now, I really don’t want to toss too much. And some life extension methods really challenge our old people’s ideas… Anyway, I may not be able to live to the day when my life span reaches the limit.”

After listening to the high priest’s emotions, Hong Long squinted and snorted: “Yes…you are also the group of lives with the highest authority in the new version of the magic net. You have recently introduced so many laws to adjust the limit demiplane. Expansion, isn’t it just to integrate most of the demiplanes and transform them into a six-dimensional astral warship? I think you are also very clear about what you will face in the future…

“From this point of view, if I didn’t get involved, your elves would go through hardships, but somehow they could keep the fire and re-development, but you follow me to do things. Once you fail, you may not end up better than Arcane. How good is the teacher civilization-in the face of a future where all traces of civilization are completely erased from history, are you sure you can still sleep well?”

When the high priest heard the words, he looked at the red dragon frankly, and said with a smile: “The possibility of the future is very small after all, and the pressure caused by personal worries and obstacles that the development of civilization will inevitably face is not the same. Type of…It’s you who led us down this road, but we keep going only because of ourselves…

“We all know what this plane has now, how precious it is in this stagnant world that has been ruled by gods for countless epochs… Whether it is greed or guardianship, we will all grasp it firmly, not I’m confused and won’t shrink back.”

The multi-ethnic united civilization in the pilot plane, the higher the authority, the wider the horizon, and the farther the person in power can see, the more terrifying the obstacles in front of the civilization are.

That is the vast majority of the gods in the entire world, as well as the endless believers and dependents of these gods in countless planes.

Even with the bottomless red dragon leading the way, even with the support of the gods represented by the source of holy light, and even if connections and covenants have been established with a large number of civilizations in the order camp, the deep pressure still makes the unity All the insiders of civilization felt suffocated.

The source of the light is very powerful, but the gods are not omnipotent, and the power of the gods is also limited, and the source of the light has a large number of god-level enemies, and the mortal forces in the vast astral realm are generally at a disadvantage. , Existence itself is subverting the foundation of the united civilization of the gods, and it is impossible to pin all hopes on the shelter of a few gods.

After the barrier that isolates the inside and outside like a safe haven is lifted, and the existence of the new version of the magic net and the united civilization is noticed by the gods, an unprecedented war with fewer enemies and more enemies will ignite the entire star realm and the void.

Facing the high priest with a sense of mission, Cheng Bin turned his head and showed a subtle gaze-although the most ideal situation is that the plan was officially launched when the gods fell after the epoch, but if it develops in a bad direction, big The future that the priests worry about is very likely to emerge, and it may even be far more sinister than they expected.

If the plan of the source of the light is exposed in advance, even if Cheng Bin is confident enough to win the battle to the end, there is no way to ensure that the whole world will not be muddled by the huge war-if he does not use Gao Wei Interference force words.

After all, although the new version of the magic net is strong, it is the intelligent life that supports its operation and growth-the new era, whether it is the elementary rule god at the bottom, the wisdom civilization at the material level, or the conceptual god in the soul, Its membership scale, knowledge and technology, and structural system all take time to accumulate and run in.

Even if Mystra completely upgraded the magic net in the first place, those gods who have studied the magic net for many years and left many traces in the old magic net directly violently destroyed the magic net in a large area and replaced it with the fake magic net developed by themselves, even There is no big problem in teaming up to kill Mystra.

Even if Cheng Bin took over the control of the magic net, it would be difficult for him to directly confront the super-large divine power and protect all things covered by the magic net, let alone many planes that are still not in the coverage of the magic net. Within.

After all, the bottom of the world is maintaining the ideal mechanism of godhood and real name support. As long as those gods don’t die, they just give up all their skills and use extraordinary divine power to change reality hard, and Cheng Bin will also have a headache-Mystra is far more powerful than the shadow god , But in actual combat, Cheng Bin’s solution to this goddess whose power is mostly used to run the magic net is much simpler than dealing with the ideal kingdom of shadows.

And most importantly, if the plan progresses smoothly to the final step, Cheng Bin, who has collected the Godhead, will definitely have to meet with the existence he has been avoiding contact with. What will happen at that time, even he can’t predict.

Therefore, in the worst case, the new version of the magic net that the United Civilization relies on may even collapse. Can they maintain their own technical level without the convenience of the magic net, and can they spread all over the void and planes of the gods? Persevere under the encirclement and suppression of strength, it is really hard to say.

After the red dragon told the high priest about these problems, the elderly elf, who seemed to have no signs of aging, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and smiled at the red dragon: “In the worst plan , We have considered this level of risk…

“After all, our generations did not rely on the magic net to cast spells. Under our adjustment and management, although the magic net here is very convenient, the use of any in-depth function has strict requirements for knowledge and ability. All permissions are higher than the basics. Citizens know why they are involved in the magic net power…

“And the existing key magical creations, especially the plane warships under construction, retain the seemingly redundant ability to operate with low load after leaving the magic net, so that even if the magic net suddenly collapses, civilization can be activated. Various pre-plans quickly organized personnel to resume normal operations.”

“Alright, you are conscious and prepared.” Cheng Bin, who controls the bottom-level authority of the pilot magic net, is naturally aware of the preparations of United Civilization. After hesitating in thinking, he looked up and down with weird eyes. A moment of high priest.

The high priest who was a little disturbed by the red dragon’s gaze, couldn’t help but asked in confusion: “What’s the matter? Do you have anything to instruct?”

“In case… I mean just in case,” Cheng Bin emphasized, “In case you really encounter the worst situation, and your situation is critical and you are already exhausted, then…I have one that is not very A reliable last resort, you can try to gamble at the last minute.”

The high priest saw the red dragon stretch out the dragon claws, the claw tip twisted a cube crystal to reach him with extremely precise force, so he quickly probed his hand and carefully caught the red dragon claw tip crystal, and looked curiously over and over again. .

After the red dragon put away the dragon’s claws, the high priest raised his head and cast a puzzled gaze at the red dragon, asking somewhat uncertainly: “This, is it the seed of the ancient war tree?”

The ancient war tree, which originated from the previous generation of elven civilization, played a great role in the early development of the elven race, but since the new version of the magic net began to cover the plane, the ancient war tree, a powerful weapon with many functions, has fallen behind the times.

At that time, the ancient war tree group had gradually germinated wisdom under the adjustment of the elves, so the elves simply spent a lot of energy to make a set of magic net-based functional modules to replace the existing war tree, and removed it. After a period of development, the ancient war trees in their jobs became semi-independent from the elves and joined the united civilization as normal intelligent lives.

The whole process has gone through all the processes of the return, adjustment, birth of wisdom, and semi-independence of the ancient war tree. The high priest is naturally very familiar with the sealed seeds of the ancient war tree. The reason why he is a little uncertain is purely because of the solemnity of the red dragon just now. That’s it–

If it were an ordinary seed of the ancient war tree, the red dragon as a powerful god would naturally not be so serious.

“Yes, it is the seed of the ancient war tree,” Cheng Bin’s gaze fell on the cube crystal on the open palm of the high priest, “but the deep structure information of this one has been specially adjusted…

“Don’t those ancient war trees who have become intelligent citizens live in one and a half planes? As long as you unblock the seeds where they live, and let the new war trees integrate into their magical network, there will be May cause some…indescribable changes.”

“Indescribable?” The high priest was obviously a little difficult to understand, “In that kind of seed, is the last resort mentioned before?”

“Yes, the unblocking of this kind of child may bring power beyond imagination, and it may also completely destroy the world you know, and more likely nothing will happen…” Cheng Bin some He said vaguely, “So only when you are truly in poverty and there is no retreat, you can use this method to gamble.”

Hearing the power of this seed, the high priest was shocked. He looked carefully at the seed in the palm of his hand, and then cautiously harvested it in his portable space, but after thinking about it, he felt the speed of attaching to the magic net again. Space is not necessarily safe, so Yu took out the seeds again and stuffed them into the twisted space-time bubbles created in his body.

“That’s right,” Cheng Bin emphasized to the high priest after thinking about it, “Only you, or the life that inherited the position of high priest, can unlock the seeds and activate this final means-I mean you can see Do you remember the life of the twigs of the World Tree?”

——Just touch the magic to start the unblocking process, this kind of thing that anyone can do still needs to limit the candidates? And why must it be possible to see the life of the twigs of the World Tree? Could it be that…

The high priest froze for a moment, and countless speculations flashed in his mind for a moment. Then he nodded solemnly, not knowing what conclusion his brain had come up with, and said, “I understand…I will immediately go for a comprehensive body strengthening transformation. I won’t take any risks personally until I find the successor.”

“Well, don’t think too much,” Cheng Bin looked at the high priest’s expression and soul fluctuations, then smiled and said, “This seed is only used to adjust the details of the ancient war tree magic network, and wake it up in a special way. Activate their collective consciousness…

“The best result is that they successfully obtain a special shared memory in the magical network connecting the hearts, and then they can obtain a certain high-level power… But after all, you are gambling, you don’t have too much hope, after all The world environment and their origins are a bit strange, and I can’t be sure what will happen in the end…”

The high priest nodded without understanding, and after carefully inquiring about the details of the seed, he bid farewell to the red dragon, put aside his work and sent it to the research semi-plane to adjust his body and prolong his life.

Next to the World Tree Temple where there are only some elf babbling sounds, the red dragon looked at the place where the high priest disappeared thoughtfully: “There must be a reason why the world tree gave the high priest special treatment. Change is inseparable from the World Tree. It should be appropriate for the high priest to do something that involves Gao Weiwu…”

The incarnation of the red dragon with little power lay down again. When the elves were excited about boarding the dragon, he connected the spirit body to see the trend of the river of destiny, and then pondered: “The ultimate insurance… Well, even if it is really successful, the risks and the impact on the plan are quite large…

“However, the situation of the United Civilization is so bad that the high priest should use this. The situation at the level of the gods is probably really a bit bad… Although there are some risks in doing this, it is a little better than if I acted directly, and how much can I do? Tried something…”

“Anyway… I can’t watch the civilization I brought out really hit the road, right? If you can’t see the world line change, you have to be responsible for it… I hope you don’t really use it…”

While the Red Dragon was whispering in the body and mind, Cheng Bin’s body in the source of light had already withdrawn his attention from the pilot plane, and began discussing plans for an expedition against the abyssal demon with Tyr and the returning Arthur. ..
