Hao Ren was completely immersed in the world of the spirit body, his consciousness continued to sink with the power of chaos, and the oldest historical memories of the Siren emerged in the depths of this chaos, and became clearer and clearer, as if they had experienced it in person.He saw the clever creatures of the deep sea open his mind, and he saw them study with amazement and awe the metal meteorites that occasionally fell from the dark abyss, and how these hard stones were formed.They dig in the mud and sand, weave seaweed, carve out their homes in this dim water world illuminated by the glimmer of algae, and are curious about everything.It was only in the 5,000th year of the Meteorite Age that they finally knew how to separate the metal from the deep-sea rocks they had dug up: the power of water and chemistry in this place far from the flames.The ore is crushed with a stream of water and the metal is refined by the elemental method to create an alloy that does not corrode.Freed from the limited bounty of extraterrestrial meteorites, the Kraken used his own hands to create new metal tools, build the oldest dynasty, and write the first pages of history by inscribed words on those timeless alloys.However, while the young civilization toddled in the depths of the sea, their nurturer, the endless sea of Io, was also heavily draped over the kingdom's head.The Krakens were in awe of the endlessly dark body of water above, but also curious.Like the inevitable stages that all intelligent races go through: they also want to know what is on the other side of the darkness.When the first Kraken became interested in this and put it into practice, it was already a thousand years after the founding of the First Dynasty.But exploring shallow waters is dangerous, and the environment of the deep sea is very different from the shallow waters, where there is a huge amount of water pressure - water pressure that is particularly comfortable for the Kraken, but not in the shallow waters.The Siren's ancient admonition warns young adventurers that the endless darkness of the waters lies a world of "nothingness", and that as they get closer to the "edge of the world", matter becomes less compact and everything is separated, and the Kraken itself is no exception.Like the warriors of the Horde era who tried to send the meteorite back to the "edge of the world" and never returned, no kraken could cross the mysterious dark waters.However, once the spirit of exploration is ignited, it will not be extinguished, and young scholars are still studying how to get to the edge of the world.They are constantly refining their elemental magic, using magic to change their constitution so that they can adapt to the pressure of the shallow water, and they continue to send out groups of explorers, with the determination to die to attack the dark abyss hanging overhead.Explorers who come back alive bring back something incredible: animals and plants that live in the upper waters, and this convinces scholars that there is a living realm beyond the Dark Abyss, where there is another thriving world.Two thousand years after the founding of the First Dynasty, a young Siren led her small expedition to the limit.It took them a hundred years to transform their physique, and three full days to apply all kinds of protective magic to themselves, and then launched a march towards the dark abyss.They swam the farthest distances, over waters that no one had ever reached before, and left behind the wonderful, shallow water flora and fauna.As they ascended, they felt the water elemental that made up their bodies become more and more unstable, but an even more incredible sight began to come from overhead: on the opposite side of the dark abyss, there was light.It turns out that the phenomenon of "light" is not unique to the deep sea.They were pleasantly surprised to exchange their new discoveries, and began to rush to the surface even harder, so oblivious to the changes in the water element in their bodies.They marched towards the brighter world they had never seen before, swam hard, swam hard, and finally crossed a "material dividing line" - at that time, they did not know that it was called "water".An incomparably vast, bright, restless world unfolded before the eyes of these explorers.But they only had time to take a look, because in a second, they were all disintegrated by the pressure and turned into gas.Elemental creatures do not have meat in the conventional sense.
Body, without mastering the control technique, they have no idea how to maintain their high-density state in the air world.By the time the Kraken knew how to move in the air world, it would be hundreds of years later.Hao Ren's spirit was in a wonderful state, he was going through the entire history of the Siren, but he could hardly feel the flow of time, as if the memories that spanned thousands of years and thousands of years were spread out in front of his eyes like a plane, and he would be clear at a glance when he swept away.He saw that the Krakens had finally arrived at the world above the sea level, and began to carefully explore this air world that was "empty, vast, and unstable" to them, and in the process, he seemed to vaguely sense Eva's thoughts, and he understood what the Kraken Spirit was thinking.The Krakens have spent thousands of years building stable passages and various observation platforms to reach the sea, and the Sea of Io, which covers the entire planet, requires them to work dozens of times more than other races to see the sky.They used unimaginable patience of ordinary races to adapt to storms and lightning at sea level, and even reinvented their own life forms for the occasion.The most brilliant of them, Evina, waited on the platform for seven hundred years before a clear sky came to them, and when the terrifying expanse of the starry sky appeared in front of the Krakens, it almost sparked everyone.And it wasn't until 1,700 years later that they learned that there was not only a starry sky behind the clouds, but also sunshine: it was the second sunny day.Figuring out the "day-night cycle" is a matter much later.The Kraken does everything with more effort than other races, and the planet's unique natural environment makes it impossible for them to figure out what they should study and what they are studying like normal races, and lightning, oceans, huge waves, and an unstable atmosphere make it difficult for any primitive race to stay at sea level.At the same time, they have to devote more energy to adjusting their life forms, the life form of "deep sea elemental beings" makes them limited by nature, and they spend almost more energy on transforming than they do on observing this world.But they still didn't stop exploring outward, and they continued to move out of the world - their reasons were not so noble and lofty, and they didn't even think of the phrase "sea of stars".They just want to go out and see if there is a sea like their home in other places.It wasn't until 4,000 years after Ivina observed the starry sky that the Kraken had created a flying machine that could pass through Io's Storm - it was not easy to develop a flying tool in a world where there was no fire, lightning, and constant storms, and even the first aerodynamic studies were impossible.Of course, it can be said that they are stupid in this area, but so what?
Anyway, they can finally get a good look at the stars, and they are happy about it.Hao Ren felt his consciousness begin to float upward, he saw the space age of the Kraken, saw these magical creatures trying to launch probes to find the sea on other planets, saw them set up observation stations in their planetary orbits, cast their curious eyes on the wider universe, and saw ......
A group of space warships of unknown origin suddenly descended on Io, and in an inexplicable chaotic war, the Kraken's kingdom collapsed, until finally the entire planet was swept away by some kind of energy storm weapon that seemed to be a global EMP, and the Kraken civilization was destroyed.There is no reason for destruction.The storm on the Sea of Io is intensifying, and huge lightning is sweeping across the sky, and the monstrous waves wrapped in ice are rushing.Shakira, along with the other three Sirens, struggled to maintain control of a small body of water, and she looked into the middle of the water, "When the hell is he okay?"
I don't feel Eva showing any signs of calming down!
”Nangong May quickly dived underwater, and after confirming Hao Ren's state, he surfaced again: "He's still connected!"
I've watched him connect with the Brain Monster a few times, and I know it......
Looks like it's going well!
”Soma muttered, "I don't think it's going well. ”Another storm stirred, a tsunami like a mountain rushed towards everyone, the Siren Queen raised her hands high to block the tsunami, and just when she couldn't hold back and was about to go to see Hao Ren's state in person, the latter suddenly emerged from the water.As soon as Hao Ren opened his eyes, he saw the storm and the monstrous waves outside, and he looked at the violent underwater world in a daze, his mind as if it had been delayed for a century.It wasn't until Nangong May approached that he muttered to himself: "She's crying." ”"What?"
Nangong didn't hear it clearly for a while."
She's crying," Hao Ren looked up at the sky, at the arms that were reaching into space, "Eva, she's crying, she's just a child." ”The sound of the storm roared in my ears, and the heavens and the earth were filled with a roar like a roar, and endless anger, chagrin, and hatred were mixed in the storm like substance, almost destroying those who were in it.This time, however, Hao Ren sensed something else from these furious voices and breaths: Eva's weeping.For a civilization, Eva was just a child.She was at a loss, she wasn't ready for anything, she had just learned the vastness of the world, but everything came to an abrupt end for no reason.It took her so long to climb out of the cradle, it took her patience and time far beyond that of other races to see the world above her, and she had to pay dozens of times the price to accomplish what seemed ordinary to other races - although she herself may not be aware of this, but in any case, Io's more than ten kilometers thick ocean, endless turbulent atmosphere, clouds that would not dissipate for thousands of years, all these things were difficult to overcome one by one, and she climbed out of the deep sea with such difficulty- But it all came to an abrupt end for no reason.Eva didn't even know what was happening, and died on the edge of her cradle.So she rejects the fact that the Siren's indestructible soul has made her survive the end of the world, and instead entrench herself on the planet in a state similar to "reverberation".She was like a child who had been robbed of her toys, bewildered and angry at everything, crying loudly at the same time."
I never thought that racial consciousness could be such a state......
Hao Ren didn't know how to explain what he saw and experienced, so he could only shake his head at Shakira, "In fact, the phenomenon of civilization is everywhere, but there are very few individuals like 'Eva'.She was at a loss for her own destruction, very sad, she was just venting her frustration......
And maybe it's the last time to vent. ”"So what are we going to do?"
The Siren Queen looked at Hao Ren at a loss, "Is there any way to ......
Placate her?
”At this time, the voice of the data terminal suddenly came from the communication channel: "Are you all right?"
The situation on this side is a little unpleasant!
”Hao Ren looked at the Siren Queen, glanced at Nangong May again, and nodded vigorously: "Give me a few more minutes."
You two come here, I need your help. ”The two said in unison: "What help?"
”"Just stay by my side," Hao Ren reached out and grabbed the hands of Queen Siren and Nangong May, "Let us connect together and let Eva sense your presence." ”After saying this, regardless of the confused looks on the faces of the two krakens, Hao Ren established a connection with Eva again.That sense of chaos struck again, and this time Hao Ren sensed Eva's consciousness more clearly.It was a plausible feeling, and it was almost impossible to determine if it was a consciousness or just a tendentious memory, but Hao Ren was willing to believe that it belonged to the former.In the chaotic state, he could only vaguely feel that Nangong May and the Siren Queen were by his side, and this was the only problem: the two Krakens did not have the ability to connect with each other, could Eva, who was in a state of frenzy, sense them?"
Eva!"
Hao Ren concentrated and called in his head, but soon he realized that the name "Eva" was also given by the krakens, and the kraken spirit herself probably didn't know what it meant: she hadn't had time to name herself yet.However, miraculously, the chaotic spiritual power seemed to really react to the word "Eva", and Hao Ren felt that something was watching him.Perhaps the Krakens had a legend about "Eva" before they fled from Io, so the Kraken Spirit, who is the aggregate of all Krakens, knows her name as "Eva".Hao Ren concentrated again: "Eva, I know you can hear me......
Don't be afraid, I have no ill will towards you, I just want to help you.I know what you've been through, and I sympathize with it, many civilizations can't escape the fate of premature death, and you're not ......"
A violent thought suddenly struck, and a wave of uneasy fluctuations surged through the chaos."
Okay, okay, let's not talk about this......"
Hao Ren quickly reorganized the language, "Eva, Eva, be quiet, I just wanted to show you something—in fact, you didn't fail, in a sense, you continued, and you went farther than anyone else."
Eva, through me, you should be able to sense the breath of the two compatriots......"
Hao Ren quieted down, minimizing his mental presence, so that Eva could sense the presence of other krakens on the scene through her own medium.Due to her frenzy, Eva has lost the ability to sense other krakens, so Hao Ren must make herself Eva's temporary senses.He felt that the attempt should work.Eva's emotions gradually calmed down, and she watched the situation curiously."
There is an ark that has managed to escape from Io and come to another world," Hao Ren said to Eva silently, "I am the messenger from there, and my duty is to monitor and evaluate the development of civilization.I'm going to tell you that the Kraken civilization still exists, and you've continued in another world.Notice that there's a special Kraken next to me?
Her bloodline is a Siren, but she should have a special aura on her - she was born in that world, and it is proof that you have taken root in another world......"
A call from the data terminal came from the communication channel: "Boss!
Things are getting better!
That water is slowly being withdrawn!
”Hao Ren didn't respond, but continued to communicate with Eva: "Eva, don't be sad anymore, don't cry, the bad times are over, everything will be fine." ”A light lit up in the chaotic darkness, and a vague figure emerged from the light.Hao Ren looked at this illusion in amazement, and he heard a voice ringing in his ears: "......
Is there a sea over there?
”"Yes, it's big, it's beautiful, and we have land—the rocks and soil that jut out of the sea, and the Krakens occasionally go on land, but they spend most of their time in the sea.""
Are they happy?""
Still unstable and carefree, there have been a little troubles lately, but I solved the problem easily.You see, I'll take them home to see you after I've settled the trouble. ”After a long silence that seemed like a century, the light slowly dissipated, and a sigh came: "Thank you, I can finally sleep......"
All the illusions faded like a tide, Hao Ren opened his eyes, and saw that the storm had stopped, the clouds had cleared, and Io had ushered in a clear sky once again in a thousand years, a real clear sky.The stars hung in the sky, and one couldn't help but think of the scene many years ago, when the kraken named Evina stood on an ancient observatory and watched this scene in amazement.The stars must have scared the hell out of her.Megatons of seawater began to return to Io's surface with the last of Eva's last strands of strength, a spectacular spectacle that was thrilling to see in space, and Hao Ren couldn't see it on the planet's surface, but he could still imagine everything.An arched bridge-like arc of water slowly slipped down in front of Hao Ren and the Kraken, and Shakira pointed to it in surprise: "Look!
And the creatures that survived!
”A small pale golden fish leaped out of the arc of water, flicked its tail in the air, and returned to the sea.Miraculously survived the terrible journey into space and finally returned home unharmed.Hao Ren exhaled and looked down at the calm sea under his feet: "Good night, Eva." ”(I can't update it at night, so I just merged the two chapters together.) ）(To be continued.) )
