Volume 3 Chapter 288: Looking for an Opportunity to Eat Humans
"What's happening? The world, the world is shaking?"
"The abyss is the abyss. The vibration comes from the abyss. The abyss is alive?"
"Alive? How is that possible? How can the abyss have consciousness?"
The small universe is small only relative to the large universe.
In fact, even a small universe is large enough.
The size of each cavity inside is basically not much smaller than a galaxy.
The area of the continents floating in these cavities is even larger than the surface area of some planets. A variety of intelligent creatures have been born on them, some of which have also developed aerospace technology and are roaming in the cavities.
They studied methods of passing through cavity bubbles and reaching neighboring cavity bubbles, especially the cavity bubble where the sun is located, where the flames are continuously burning.
At the same time, they also studied the abyss, but because of the maddening nature of the abyss, there was no progress in the research.
Until something unusual happened in the abyss, and countless spaceships deployed above the continent, close to the edge of the cavity bubble, detected that the energy reaction in the abyss was rapidly weakening.
No, it cannot be said to be weakening, but it is rapidly leaving the cavity bubble.
It was as if the energies had their own consciousness and were withdrawing on their own initiative.
This was incomprehensible to them. After so many years of research, they had long regarded the abyss and the energy within it as a natural phenomenon. They had never imagined that this natural phenomenon did not actually exist at all and that everything was an illusion.
Now, with the disappearance of the abyss, countless scientific theories based on the existence of the abyss have all been overturned. Science needs to be rebuilt, especially the basic theories.
As for these weak and inferior civilizations, the Abyss Civilization does not care how they rebuild their theories.
A huge amount of abyss gathers together again and recombine into a huge abyss body in the small universe. A huge amount of high-dimensional energy individuals also gather together again.
For millions of years, scattered high-dimensional energy individuals wandered through the abyss as vast as the Milky Way.
They can appear in any part of the abyss at will, as fast as teleporting in space.
It is said that the environment inside the abyss is infinitely close to the high-dimensional environment.
In other words, the entity that every transcendent civilization strives to maintain is an environment that simulates a high-dimensional environment.
They simulated a high-dimensional environment based on their own understanding of high-dimensionality.
It is said that high-dimensional energy individuals living in such a simulated high-dimensional environment can help them to upgrade their dimensions in the future.
Of course, no one knows whether it really helps.
Because the only race that has successfully upgraded to a higher dimension is human beings.
But no one knows whether humans used the same method in the past.
Even Lin Xu, a human being, doesn't know this because he has not yet come into contact with this period of history.
Soon, the abyss that had been gathered expanded in the small universe, repelling and pushing the cavity bubbles that were originally very close away from their original positions.
It occupies a fairly large space in the small universe.
Even from the outer universe, one can see that there is an abnormally large bulge in the small universe.
"Lord Lin Xu, look over there." In the deep space of the outer universe, Nanzhu pointed to the small universe in front that was surrounded by a joint defense line established by an autonomous mechanical aggregate.
"I see. It seems that the Abyss has begun to act. I just don't know where they will choose to break out. We must be prepared." Lin Xu nodded, and the information was also passed to Yinghuo.
In an instant, a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates completed the final preparations for the defense line and entered standby mode.
In the small universe, the abyss completed the final gathering and did not hesitate. It directly bombarded the edge of the universe with a large amount of energy, opening the cosmic barrier.
At the same time, the huge body like the Milky Way moved forward, squeezing the cavity bubbles in the universe to move continuously and rushed out of the universe.
However, the hollow bubbles that were squeezed and changed their positions were not affected at all. However, some civilizations suddenly discovered that the starry sky had undergone tremendous changes when observing it.
Of course, there were also more serious cases where some unlucky civilizations were squeezed away from the nearby light-emitting cavity bubbles, directly leading to the loss of the sun in the sky.
In just a moment, above the earth that was originally living in peace, the sky suddenly became dark.
Everyone looked up at the sky blankly, only to find that the sun had disappeared and never rose again.
As time went by, the earth became colder and colder, and panic gradually spread.
The emperor, nobles, pope and bishops kept praying to God, but received no response.
The missionaries claimed that everyone was sinful, and it was everyone's sins that caused the gods to abandon everyone and turned the original world into hell.
Some people believe it, some people don't.
Some people kill, and some people pray.
But all this is meaningless now. With the loss of the sun, this civilization is doomed to die and to be plunged into darkness forever.
Afterwards, the huge body of the abyss finally left the universe, and the squeezed cavity bubbles began to gradually return to their original positions, but they were destined to never be exactly the same as before.
A tiny difference on an astronomical scale can be like a mountain to a civilization.
The world with a burning sun that was originally adjacent to this civilization had a slight difference in the process of returning to its original position, and the sunlight did not shine on this land again after all.
Then, this land slowly died completely, and finally only some relics and ruins were left.
This kind of situation happened a lot when the abyss separated from this universe.
Countless civilizations have suffered catastrophic disasters due to the slightest actions of the abyss.
Even Lin Xu could do nothing about it.
All he could do was to minimize the disaster that the abyss could cause.
The fact that the abyss ultimately did not destroy the universe was already a success for Lin Xu.
"Lord Lin Xu, the abyss has appeared." Nanzhu reminded, eager to try.
"Are you here? Let's get started." Lin Xu gave an order.
Instantly, the defense facilities built around the small universe were activated.
The artillery batteries composed of massive autonomous mechanical aggregates launched attacks one after another.
A large amount of high-dimensional energy directly bombarded the huge body of the abyss that had just squeezed out of the universe.
Suddenly, under the impact of high-dimensional energy, the body of Abyss began to shrink rapidly.
The abyss did not have any intention of fighting back. Instead, it mobilized all its strength, identified a direction, and fled into the deep space of the outer universe.
Countless high-dimensional energy bodies inside intercepted the attacks shot into the abyss.
At the same time, as if to attract the attention of somewhere far away, the abyss spread a large amount of information in all directions through the edge of the higher dimension.
Even Lin Xu was unable to decipher the meaning of these encrypted inquiries for a moment.
However, the weirdness, nightmares, etc. in the distance are beyond civilization, and they understand the meaning as soon as they receive these information.
"Where are your reinforcements?"
"Well, it's time for us to move. Otherwise, without the abyss as bait, how will the Mother River take the bait?"
"No hurry, no hurry, didn't you notice? The mother river has already arrived, he is just observing."
"Observe? Did he find out it was human?"
"No, it won't happen. Mother River doesn't know much about humans. Although he is powerful, he has never seen humans. Moreover, no one could have imagined that humans would appear in the low dimension."
"Why doesn't he do anything yet?"
"He should be waiting, so we can't be impatient. Now it depends on who can be patient."
With the continuous bombardment of the autonomous mechanical aggregate, the abyss was in a panic. It identified a weak point in the defense line, which was a position with weaker attack, and rushed down.
Lin Xu, who was watching the battle from a distance, was silently calculating until the abyss rushed out a certain distance, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay."
"The abyss is now far enough away from the universe. It seems that the small universe is completely safe." Mu Xiyue also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then Lord Lin Xu, why don't you open the high-dimensional channel and send the abyss directly into the high dimension? At this distance, the high dimension should not suck the universe in as well, right?" Nanzhu asked doubtfully.
"No, I'm still waiting." Lin Xu shook his head.
"Wait further?" Nanzhu asked puzzledly.
"Didn't you notice? The abyss seemed to be conveying information to the outside just now." Arisa said from the side.
"Passing on a message? He's asking for help." Nanzhu finally reacted.
"I think it's not just a call for help. There may be some secret helpers, such as those transcendent civilizations that escaped before." Lu Yao added.
"But didn't those beyond civilization run away? Will they still help him?" Nanzhu frowned.
"Who knows? Those beyond civilizations are not stupid. They should know that if we don't help the Abyss now, it will soon be their turn. We won't let them go. So when they react, they might help us." Lu Yao shrugged.
"That's right, so they are secretly colluding. Well, it's better to catch them all in one fell swoop than to search for them slowly later." Nanzhu said after thinking for a while.
"Let's wait and see. There's no rush. He can't run away anyway." Lin Xu said finally.
So, a group of people watched the fight from the side.
No, it’s more like watching how the abyss civilization struggles than watching a battle.
In any case, in the face of the autonomous mechanical aggregate that was well prepared and had laid a tight net, the Abyss Civilization's attempt to break out was quickly thwarted.
The abyss civilization, as vast as the galaxy, is surrounded by countless autonomous mechanical aggregates, which are constantly weakening their energy layer by layer.
The vast number of high-dimensional life forms inside the abyss are also constantly dying under the attacks of the vast number of autonomous mechanical aggregates that continuously rush into the abyss.
Those high-dimensional energy individuals who are worthy of being called gods in mortal civilization, and even cannot be looked directly at by mortals, are not much stronger than ordinary mortals in front of autonomous mechanical aggregates.
Under the bombardment of high-dimensional power, even if they have already transformed their bodies into high-dimensional energy, they will still be shattered in one blow.
By this time, the Abyss Civilization had already regretted its plan to escape from the small universe.
"Where's the support? Where's their support?"
"I've said it before, nothing those guys say can be trusted."
"What should we do? If we continue like this, we will be peeled off layer by layer and nothing will be left."
"Can you still go back? If not, just hide back in the universe."
"No, we can't go back. Previously, humans deliberately drove us to escape in this direction. Now humans have blocked the way back. We can't hide back anymore."
"It seems that humans still care about the survival of the universe. If we continue to hide in it, we will be fine. Unfortunately, we wake up too late."
"What should I do? Is there any other solution?"
Countless high-dimensional energy individuals exchanged their ideas with each other, and finally came to the conclusion that there is no solution.
There was no way to escape, no way to save myself, and the promised rescue did not appear.
Everything points to the worst outcome.
And just when the entire abyss civilization fell into despair, suddenly a message with clear meaning spread in the deep space of the outer universe in an instant.
"This way, run this way."
In an instant, the spirit of the abyss civilization was lifted.
Although there are also many high-dimensional energy individuals who think that this is a trap.
But now, they have no choice, not to mention that this message still uses the encryption method they used when communicating with weird, nightmare and other transcendent civilizations before.
Then we can only take a gamble.
Maybe this is the support they agreed to.
So the entire abyss ran towards the direction indicated by the message just now.
Abyss's actions were instantly sensed by the autonomous mechanical aggregate and reported to Lin Xu.
"Changed direction? Did the message just now mean that those advanced civilizations have appeared?" Lin Xu was shocked.
He also received the message, but has not yet successfully deciphered the content.
But from the reaction of the abyss, we can guess a thing or two.
"Lord Lin Xu, what should we do?" Nanzhu asked.
"Autonomous mechanical aggregate, open a gap and let them reunite. Once they reunite and we know their whereabouts, everything will be easy." Lin Xu ordered .
As a result, the defensive force in the direction where the abyss escaped suddenly weakened a lot.
Abyss also noticed this, but he didn't care about it now. He took advantage of the weakening firepower and rushed forward.
Then, accompanied by a surge of space, the huge monster that had been hiding in the distance for who knows how long suddenly revealed its whereabouts and arrived near the abyss at a faster speed.
Its size, which was far larger than the abyss, made the abyss civilization, which had thought it had escaped, instantly alert.
When they saw the figure clearly, countless high-dimensional energy individuals in the abyss screamed.
"Mother River, it is the mother river, the mother river that swallows everything."
"We have been betrayed. Run away, run away."
"Damn weirdness, damn nightmare, you all deserve to die."
However, at this stage, it was impossible for Abyss, who was already seriously injured, to escape.
"Abyss, come and become a part of me." The will of the Mother River spread in the vast outer universe.
Then the whole body opened up, like a bloody mouth, and swallowed the abyss directly.
The autonomous mechanical aggregate paid no attention to the surrounding it and began to devour the abyss right in front of Lin Xu.
In the distance, the transcendent civilization that had been watching secretly saw this and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"They've taken the bait. The Mother River Civilization has finally taken the bait."
"That's great. I hope the Mother River is here to teach humans a lesson."
"If we can both lose, maybe we can have a chance to eat humans."
Suddenly, all the transcendent civilizations became excited.
Those are the legendary humans. If they really have the chance, maybe they can find the secret of human dimensionality upgrade.
Who doesn't want to know this secret?
