Chapter 1409 A Nostalgic Name

Time back to half an hour ago.

Standing next to the clear and transparent space debris, Lu Zhou heard the voice from the holy relic and confirmed to him for the last time.

"Have you considered?"

"I've thought about it."

"Let's begin then."

Looking at the space debris that was gradually covered with a layer of white mist in front of him, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of something and said.

"Wait a moment."

"Repent?"

"No," Lu Zhou shook his head, "Can I make a request?"

"any request?"

"Send my teammates out of this ruin safely."

The voice was silent for a while.

Just when Lu Zhou had doubts about whether it could do this, the voice suddenly continued to speak in a relaxed tone.

"Of course, it's not difficult."

The moment the voice fell, the white mist entangled in the space debris was suddenly placed in a circle. I saw that under the entanglement of the hazy white mist, the winding and winding lines were mixed together.

Just like a fragmented jigsaw puzzle, those lines and their corresponding tunnels were broken into a ball and reassembled under the control of some special law.

In the four-dimensional space fragments like soap bubbles, Lu Zhou saw his teammates, and even saw the wrist-mounted computer he left behind earlier.

Under the domination of the mysterious power, all the puzzle pieces that did not belong to this ruin were moved to the area close to the surface.

"Unbelievable," seeing all these changes, a shocking expression appeared on Lu Zhou's face, "This is just like..."

"like what?"

"...It's like the power of a god."

Chased by the "collapsed" tunnel, Lu Zhou watched his teammates escape one by one from the boundary that the four-dimensional space fragments could dominate—that is, the exit of the ruins.

Under the control of this force, all living beings are as small as ants, controlled by invisible chains like marionettes.

"God? That's it?" There was a touch of sarcasm in the voice, and he continued, "It's far away."

After capturing the hidden information in this sentence, Lu Zhou's heart moved slightly, and he asked subconsciously.

"So you've seen it?"

"That depends on how you understand the concept of gods," continued in a casual tone without any turbulence, and the voice did not hide, "If you are referring to the primitive beliefs of the aborigine planet, then This kind of god is probably just their imagination of the unknown mystery. But if you mean some kind of great will that dominates the universe... at least it is difficult for you to prove, it must not exist."

Lu Zhou: "This statement sounds a bit awkward."

"Any rigorous theory will sound a bit mouthful. Besides, this is a new universe, and the laws of the old universe may not necessarily apply. Of course, my suggestion is, if you can't perceive that kind of existence, don't bother to think about it." It’s better. Anyway, based on your understanding of the universe and the truth, you probably won’t have the chance to come into contact with things of that level.”

There was a hint of sarcasm and a sense of superiority in that voice, quite unpleasant.

However, considering that this guy is a widowed and lonely old man from outside time, and upholds the fine tradition of respecting the old and caring for the young, Lu Zhou didn't take his arrogance too seriously.

"Now that your compatriots have been sent to the surface, if you don't want to waste time here, it's about time we set off."

"Let's go," Lu Zhou nodded, looking at the space debris that changed its internal shape again, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Speaking of which, where are we going next?"

"It's a bit deeper than here...Aren't you curious? Why do those Martians you speak of build such crooked tunnels here?"

Lu Zhou: "...Why?"

"Because of greed and instinct, by the way, the original appearance of this ruin is actually straight."

Lu Zhou: "...?"

Almost as soon as the voice fell, the soap bubble-like fragments of four-dimensional space moved again.

However, the change this time is somewhat different from the last time.

I saw the tentacles-like lines that were winding and circling, as if they were pulled by some unknown force, they were gathered into a ball by the surrounding white mist, and finally compressed into a point.

Looking at the strange phenomenon in front of him, Lu Zhou couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"What is this doing?"

"As I said, this is a key," the voice continued with a slight smile, "and the purpose of the key is to open the door."

Lu Zhou was taken aback for a moment, but suddenly he was startled and reacted abruptly.

"Could it be—"

"Haha, it seems that you have already guessed it! That's right, this ruin is about to disintegrate and return to its most ancient form! If you want to regret it, it's too late!"

It's not that I regret it, it's just a bit of a surprise.

Lu Zhou guessed that the fragments of the four-dimensional space distorted the original appearance of the ruins, but he didn't expect that not only that, it even hid part of the space outside the three-dimensional coordinate axis...

And now, it's been returned!

Layers of crack-like gaps appeared on the surface of the "soap bubble", like a glass ball that fell to the ground and shattered. The space debris floating in mid-air exploded into tiny pieces.

A circle of milky white ripples spread out along the exploding singularity, like a series of tiny bubbles rushing around, passing through everything it touched.

Lu Zhou subconsciously raised his hands and almost activated his nitrogen shield.

However, he soon discovered that the spreading ripples didn't affect him at all, they just passed through his body, and then sank into the wall behind him.

All of this seems to be happening in another world.

Just when he was thinking this way, the shock of heaven and earth suddenly came from under his feet.

But the shock didn't last long, as a distorted ripple surged from all directions, he soon felt a blur in front of his eyes, and after a while, the gravity of Mars threw him into an open grotto again.

This time, Lu Zhou didn't feel much pain, as if he was just bumped.

Slowly getting up from the ground, when he saw the huge monster stopped in front of him, his pupils contracted into a single point.

"This, this is..."

It was a silver-white spacecraft with a streamlined shell and a long shuttle-like outline. As for why Lu Zhou knew it was a spacecraft, it was naturally because he had seen it before.

It was a memory of the old universe.

And it once belonged to a mighty civilization!

Looking at the spaceship in front of him in silence for a long time, Lu Zhou suddenly spoke.

"...You are General Reinhardt."

The air was quiet for many seconds.

In the communication channel, there was a sigh with a little loneliness and nostalgia.

"I didn't expect to hear this name in the new universe."

"It's really nostalgic."

Restraining the slight tremor in his voice, Lu Zhou swallowed.

"...So, this is your spaceship?"

The voice said lightly.

"It used to be."

The spaceship of Jialan Civilization!

That is a civilization that once physically conquered a star!

Looking at the solid dome above his head, Lu Zhou took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and the thoughts in his mind turned quickly.

"Are there any weapons on the ship? Or shields or something."

Although I seem to be buried alive in the ground, but if it is a spaceship of the Jialan civilization, this little trouble should not be a problem!

After hearing Lu Zhou's question, the voice gave a very honest answer.

"Basic shields and weapons are still available, of course."

Lu Zhou was overjoyed.

However, just as he was about to give the order to start the spaceship, a long sigh came from the communication channel.

"...But I'm sorry, whether it's the shield, the weapon, or the engine of the spacecraft, I'm afraid they can't be started anymore."

Lu Zhou: "???"

for a moment.

The air is eerily quiet...
