Chapter 981 The Great Battle of Gu Insects (Supplement to Yesterday's Chapter)

Shadow City, as its name suggests, is a city whose main body is a direct copy of the reflection of a real-world city for use.

Some areas have been transformed during the development process, filled with various churches and elements from different world modules, but most areas still retain the appearance of a normal modern city. Perhaps the pragmatic apostles were too lazy to do it, or perhaps they considered that the leader was more accustomed to the urban environment of his home planet Earth.

Currently, this place, along with many open spaces, has become a gathering place for forces from all walks of life.

"It's very similar to Zhutian City, the difference being that ours is more focused on civilian and public use, while theirs has a stronger commercial character."

"In terms of scale, the number of species and worlds that Zhutian City currently accommodates is certainly not as large as that of Shadow City, but its advantage lies in the fact that Zhutian City can effectively connect worlds in different outer void dimensions."

"Therefore, we have many areas where we can cooperate, such as the Shadow City's dimensional hub technology and the Heavenly City's token issuance mechanism."

As a high-ranking member of the pantheon, I should take advantage of the opportunity to show the group members around and try to secure some technology that is beneficial to development through diplomatic means.

Don't let the fact that Zhutian City looks like a rural-urban fringe area fool you; it was once a prosperous place. The guests selected and invited here had already visited this place many cosmic cycles ago.

Not to mention those mysterious technologies that are almost incomprehensible.

What we lack now is only time and resources, and we can restore the former glory of the Great Vow Heaven to the world once again.

And what about Xiling?

It's just resources, you can just buy as many as you want wholesale. Oh, I forgot to mention, the unit is the universe.

Imagine a young man from a declining family who is hardworking and has the resources to succeed, meeting a wealthy woman who is facing a career bottleneck and has high needs. Wouldn't it be a wonderful story if they supported each other?

"We're already working together, aren't we?" Ye Fan smiled.

"That's right." Chen Jun stopped the conversation at the right time.

However, it was not that Ye Fan intentionally avoided it.

It's not a situation where one person doesn't know how rich the other is, and the other doesn't know how poor the other is.

The City of All Heavens was the last deal between the previous city lord and Ye Fan. Even though Ye Fan did not intend to take the transcendent path of merging his own power into other worlds, the mystical concepts involved meant that Ye Fan could not arbitrarily control the City of All Heavens before he had fully mastered the other party's inheritance, let alone get the other party to send people over to exchange technologies.

He himself doesn't know how to do it yet, so he can't just trade away the City of Heavens for the other party to study.

Therefore, it's better to proceed with cooperation gradually.

Chen Jun understood this principle. Just as he was planning to take the guests to continue shopping for local specialties and discuss with Yan Sen about having his younger sister and children become exchange students to learn some immortal techniques.

"Hey bro, wanna buy a copy?" A somewhat familiar deep male voice came from not far away.

crunch--

Chen Jun's neck stiffened, and he slowly turned his head.

"If you don't want a magic weapon, how about a flying sword? Minors can use them." The middle-aged man in a black suit with sunglasses and a righteous look asked.

"Make it cheaper, I'll take them all." Su Lin prepared to take out her money.

"Is this line of work profitable?" Elena asked.

Sicalo nodded as he delivered the goods: "It's alright. As long as we don't get fined, there's basically no cost. If you're interested, I can add you to the group."

Elena glanced at Su Lin's wallet, clearly tempted: "Why don't you just wait until I get my stock and buy from me?"

Su Lin paused in taking out his money.

“Your business has been stolen by newcomers,” Sicalo exclaimed. “Impressive, you have a lot of talent.”

He was completely unaware that Chen Jun, who was not far away, was about to explode, and his blood pressure was soaring.

This is absolutely one of the darkest days in diplomatic history. What is this guy even saying while he's Marvel's first president?!

We're going to have him shot today, no matter what.

But before Chen Jun could make a move, someone else had already taken action. Reimu, the former No. 1 shrine maiden of Gensokyo and known as the God of Shadow City's management, charged over aggressively. At the same time, Sikaro also noticed Chen Jun and immediately tried to retreat.

Chen Jun didn't have time to settle scores with Sicalo right now; instead, he hoped that bastard would get lost.

But an unexpected situation occurred. As Sicalo ran away, Su Lin followed without hesitation. It wasn't until Sicalo was pinned down by the various urban management teams that had been lying in ambush that the other party stopped and looked at the armbands on the red and white arms.

"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

Under the strange gaze of the city management officer Reimu, Su Lin picked up the leather bag that Xika Luo had dropped on the ground, emptied out the CDs inside, and took them away.

He then casually walked back and handed the payment to Elena, who had given a cold laugh.

"The Xiling specialty products I just bought almost disappeared. Keep the balance."

"Thank you for your patronage, haha."

Are you guys misunderstanding something?! Xiling's specialty isn't pirated CDs! And what president gets chased away by city management officers on their first day in another city?

Chen Jun was numb.

Realizing that the streets were crowded and chaotic, and that there were newspapers at the roadside newsstands that might damage diplomatic relations, he immediately led his men into the military restricted area to the dessert shop of the former emperor Sylvia to sample authentic local specialties.

This shop doesn't usually have much business, except when Sandra has diarrhea and is hungry, or when diplomatic partners come to visit, Chen Jun will take the lead in patronizing the business.

"Regarding those somewhat strange transmigrator cheat abilities, we have prepared a special space-universe for experimentation, and the situation is a bit..."

Chen Jun seemed to be thinking about the right words to describe it. After a moment, he slowly said, "You'll see when you come and take a look."

After finishing a plate of chocolate pastries and packing another portion for Sandra, the group slowly walked into the restricted area.

Inside the laboratory, other Protoss researchers were busy with their mass projections, studying the cosmic projections below through high-dimensional observation windows.

The built-in time is being accelerated. Over the long years, the originally normal universe spews out countless darkness from within, exuding an aura of end and chaos.

The fictional life forms and civilizations within deviated from the original templates and developed wildly towards civilization models that did not exist in the system's database. Some species that had never been recorded before were born out of thin air.

Gradually, the universe used for the experiment became overwhelmed and subsequently collapsed from the inside out.

The end of the world is coming.

"We've repeated this thousands of times: if a transmigrator with an extraordinary cheat ability is allowed to enter the experimental universe, the fictional civilization will undergo mutation over the next thousand to million years. Then, the universe's energy will be continuously drained for modification, ultimately leading to its demise."

"Is the goal to devour the origin of the universe?"

"Probably not, the focus is on the renovation."

"It's a pity, I thought someone would take the blame."

Su Lin looked regretful.

Klein, who was watching from the sidelines, deeply agreed and sighed almost imperceptibly.

"Currently, the destruction of all artificial universe models is actually related to insufficient energy supply, which cannot support the continued existence of the alienated world. Due to some particularly strange and unusual data, we dare not provide energy to these things indefinitely."

Chen Jun projected the information on the tablet onto everyone.

However, the dazzling array of equations, charts, and data was quite overwhelming for everyone.

Fortunately, there was also a heavyweight scientist in the group.

"The double-slit interference experiment requires at least a multiverse to contain the data capacity of the environment-induced wave function collapse. Your artificial universe is far too small as a container."

Tony Stark frowned and said, "There are also fictional civilizations that cannot fully utilize the life code of these things, so a collapse is an inevitable step."

“That’s right, so we’ve been trying to bypass this step,” Tavel said. “But so far, there haven’t been any successful cases, and…”

"We must have been discovered."

"Some unknown information signals are sending us a message; after deciphering, it is a kind of..."

Su Lin: "Don't answer!"

"Uh, we didn't answer." Chen Jun said, embarrassed. "That was a cooperation application."

Since reaching their peak, their civilization has not been this cautious in a long time. However, weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to the development of civilization; arrogance is.

When they decided to step out of the original void and explore the outer layers, their self-awareness quickly reverted to the initial positioning they had when they were exploring the starry sea.

Especially since it was almost corrupted by the "fallen God" before, it was impossible to guard against, and the distortion was so strong that even void creatures couldn't withstand it. It was really hard to resist.

Such probabilistic events, where a moment's carelessness could lead to the complete destruction of civilizations and generations of accumulated wealth, are likely countless more in the endless void and abyss.

Therefore, making bold assumptions in reasoning and acting with caution are the ironclad rules that must be followed today.

Of course, it would be even better if one of their distant, empty relatives were willing to provide some samples similar to the 'fallen God' for research, so that everyone could develop protective equipment sooner.

"When the artificial universe used for experiments was destroyed, a 'panel'-like cheat code sent a faint message, hoping that we could provide a true multiverse, even if it was immature."

"That's exactly what Mr. Tony Stark said."

"And the other party also needs to have a genuine civilization."

In other words, those system panels and similar devices being tested can not only determine that they are in an artificial universe, but also discern the nature of those fictional civilizations.

However, judging from the chaotic and noisy signals displayed by the Protoss researchers, these things don't seem to be in good condition either.

"The existence of civilizations and the observation of intelligent species might catalyze the birth of the multiverse." Tony Stark pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are you planning to agree?"

"Of course not. Whether it's the macrocosm we inhabit or the outer void, we cannot disturb other civilizations just for an experiment or an answer," Chen Jun shook his head in denial.

Moreover, if we take this opportunity to restore relations, who knows if the other party has good intentions?

"So this research has hit a bottleneck for now. Getting back to the main topic, we're here today to test that machine that can summon the Chaos God." Chen Jun planned to approve an artificial universe for testing.

"Didn't Iwamori create a multiverse before?" Su Lin thought for a moment.

"That multiverse is empty."

"Aren't there many living beings inside that lottery machine?"

"?"

"Why not just do the two experiments together?"

Su Lin said, "It just so happens that the side effects of that machine will cause invisible changes to the structure of the universe, and will gradually alienate the user's self-awareness. It's very similar to the virus code in those panel systems, so let's just throw them together."

Is he really a genius?

"If the world were to wage a viral war against Cro-type organisms, wouldn't we see rivers of blood flowing?"

Su Lin was in high spirits and immediately took out the old roller machine containing various small balls.

“Chaotic beings are not necessarily Creatures,” Klein said. “For example, that giant eyeball you purified in the Type-Moon universe.”

"Excuse me, that word is prohibited here."

"Squid tentacles battling giant eyeballs?"

"Aren't these all from the Kreece family?! Where did the previous world virus go?!"

Ok.

Seeing that Su Lin insisted on doing it this way, the Protoss researchers were happy to cooperate and quickly brought over a transmigrator with a personal data panel.

Immediately following, while constructing a fictional civilization using information flow, the old lottery machine was presented to Klein.

"..." Klein couldn't help but ask, "Why am I the one shaking it? Doesn't this item have a corrupting effect on cognition?"

It is true that there is pollution.

But Lord Azathoth, are you kidding me?

slam-la-

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Klein finally pulled out the historical projection of World Gehrman, made him grasp the lever, and shook the bearing.

Soon, small metal spheres, each imprinted with a different fantastical creature, slid out through the holes.

The surface of the abyss.

Various worlds floated in the chaos and darkness, resembling the scenery of the heavens, yet they were filled with demonic atmosphere and were mostly in ruins and devastation.

Among them, a primordial divine corpse that had transcended the destruction of an era opened its eyes. Surrounding it were the remains of a burial mound defined as 'dead' by the abyss, and the souls of all living beings in the world swirled around it, making it appear gloomy and desolate.

"The plan has changed!" A squad of reincarnators in the distance roared upon seeing this: "The Heavenly Corpse has awakened, we are abandoning the containment mission!"

[Failed to contain the Celestial Corpse and the Netherworld Ghost God; no punishment]

A cold wind swept by, and the Reincarnator team vanished without a trace.

The innate divine corpse paid no attention to it, but instead sensed the continuous, life-giving primordial power transforming its own nature.

The fish that have been released for many years are finally ready to be harvested, waiting only for the world that still exists in the void to merge with Him.

Leave this abyss and restore everything from the old world.

Even if it's only temporary.

He walked toward the void, as if countless universes were surrounding his figure. The pervasive death aura gradually faded, replaced by the power of the world that he had seized from the void.

The radiance vibrated, and the innate divine corpse gained boundless vitality.

Streaks of soft, mud-like tentacles grow from within the body, full of vitality.

Innate Divine Corpse: "???"

　It's barely passable, even though I'm going to work in two minutes.
