There are quite a few oracles in the history of the earth, but they are all fake and made up by magicians.
So when Lin Xu encountered a real oracle for the first time, he really found it quite interesting.
Although, Lin Xu didn't think that a planet consciousness could be considered a god.
The leader of the descendants of the Defenders, Grand Commander Elofat.
A large reception room was specially prepared for Lin Xu to receive the Archbishop of the Duer Sect.
To be honest, in fact, the relationship between the Duer Sect and the Floating Continent over the years has been far from good.
There are even conflicts from time to time.
The main reason is that the Duer sect developed the belief in the god Duer on the floating continent.
Although the Floating Continent has not publicly declared that belief in the God Duer is illegal, it has been cracking down on the Duer sect.
So now the Duer Sect's organization on the floating continent has slowly transformed into an underground secret organization.
This makes it more difficult to attack the floating continent.
In short, the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly, so naturally the relationship will not get better.
But when the archbishop of the Duer sect came to his door openly and openly, although Erofat was unhappy, he still received him according to etiquette.
Until General Elofat accompanied Lin Xu and saw the Archbishop of the Duer Sect shrouded in a colorful robe in the living room.
The archbishop first expressed his respect to Lin Xu, and then handed a list to Erofat before presenting the so-called oracle.
"This is?" Erofat looked at the list and was a little surprised, because there were even many middle-level officials from the Floating Continent that he was familiar with on the list, and even these middle-level officials still occupied very important positions.
"This is the latest list of all the members of the Duer Sect on the Floating Continent. Some of them, under the banner of the sect, have done many things that go against the purpose of the sect. Recently, someone has reported that they want to send someone to assassinate Mr. Lin Xu. . So I handed over this list just to show the sincerity of my Duer sect. What they did was not instructed by the sect, it was just their private behavior." The archbishop said sternly.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a deliberate show of weakness and goodwill. Throwing out some pawns means that I don't know about these things and they have nothing to do with me.
"Great, thanks to the Duer sect for being candid, I will order people to arrest all the people on the list." Erofat said, handing the list to the secretary next to him and signaling.
The secretary nodded, turned and left.
But here, the show of goodwill was over, and the Archbishop finally spoke to Lin Xu.
"Mr. Lin Xu, I am here to represent God Duer and express my respect for you. God Duer has always respected human beings and believes that there should be no conflict between God Duer and humans." The archbishop carefully observed Lin Xu's reaction.
I believe that since he became the archbishop, he has never been so cautious.
But facing humans, he had to do this.
God Dur's oracle has already explained everything. He came here to replace God Dur and express his surrender to mankind.
I just ask humans not to crush him like the alien god Yggethus before.
As the archbishop, he felt the fear of God Duer clearly.
In this regard, the archbishop is actually a little lucky.
Fortunately, my own god is still reasonable and can feel the gap between the two sides.
Otherwise, if the madness is as complete as that of the outer god Yggethus, it will be difficult for them as believers to handle it.
"Of course, there is indeed no conflict between us, and there is something going on. I may go to him again later." Lin Xu said with a smile.
Of course, he heard the constant signs of weakness in the Archbishop's words and his intention to preserve dignity for God Duer as much as possible, but he was not interested in delving into these issues.
For him, there is still a lot to do, this is just a small episode.
However, when the Archbishop heard Lin Xu's words, he felt his heart tightening.
"You said to go find my lord, don't you know?" the archbishop asked cautiously.
"I'm still very curious about planetary consciousness, so I might go to him to do a small experiment later. Don't worry, it won't hurt him." Lin Xu Lin Xu said sincerely.
The archbishop felt dumbfounded by this.
After all, whoever told you to do an experiment on the gods you believe in would probably make you dumbfounded.
But the archbishop did not dare to refuse.
Because he believed that God Duer would definitely not dare to make a decision.
"This, this, I will tell God Duer." In the end, the archbishop barely managed to say this.
Elofat, the great commander on the side, saw Lin Xu casually saying that he wanted to experiment with the god Dur, but as the archbishop of the god Dur, he could only agree in humiliation.
For a moment I just wanted to laugh.
The Duer sect, the Duer sect, you too are today.
Unfortunately, as a commander, he needs to pay attention to the impact and cannot laugh.
In the end, he could only retract the slightly upward corners of his mouth before anyone noticed.
Also snickering was Domore.
He didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene.
"By the way, Mr. Domore should still be wanted by the Duer Sect." Lin Xu looked at Domore and said.
"I have already solved this matter before I came here. Don't worry, the wanted order for Mr. Domore has been cancelled. Mr. Domore can go home at any time." The Archbishop would not even look at Domore. The ordinary professor glanced at him and showed a bright smile.
At that moment, Domore felt as if he had become a big shot.
So is this the feeling of a fox pretending to be a tiger?
After sending away the Archbishop of God Dur, Lin Xu originally wanted the Archbishop to send Domore back as well.
Unexpectedly, Domore himself refused.
"To be able to encounter such a fantastic adventure in my life may have exhausted all my luck for the rest of my life, so no matter what, I want to finish this adventure until everything settles. So, If Mr. Lin Xu doesn't dislike me for holding him back, can he continue to take me with him?" Domore said to Lin Xu seriously.
"Continue to follow us, but you may encounter danger." Lin Xu asked back.
"It's okay, I can be cannon fodder for you to explore the way." Domore said nonchalantly.
"Okay, before everything ends." Lin Xu thought for a while and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Commander Erofat planned to continue to accompany Lin Xu to check the information.
But Lin Xu shook his head and refused.
Almost all the information that should be checked has been checked, and Yinghuo has completely copied the database of the descendants of the maintainers.
After scanning them all, no more information was found.
Especially about what humans discovered thousands of years ago and left in a hurry.
There are also the locations of human remains in this river system.
Both questions have no answers.
"Thank you Mr. Erofat for your hospitality. It's time for us to leave." Lin Xu said goodbye.
"Leave? Here?" Erofat was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, all the information that should be checked has been checked. There is no point in staying here anymore." Lin Xu said matter-of-factly.
"Then, can I ask, where are you going next?" Erofat asked after thinking about it.
Until now, he has not found conclusive evidence of whether Lin Xu is human or not, and he is really unwilling to do so.
"Go to the bottom of the sea, the Cleaner's warship manufacturing factory." Lin Xu did not hide it.
"The Cleaner's Factory, can I go with you?" Erofat's eyes lit up and he said without thinking.
"You? Aren't you the commander-in-chief? Can you just leave like this?" Nan Zhu asked in surprise.
"To be honest, when I was young, I also had adventures in various places. Now that I have the opportunity to go to the Cleaner's factory, of course I can't miss it." Erofat said with a smile.
"Lord Lin Xu?" Nan Zhu moved his lips, but still looked at Lin Xu.
"Let's go. If you want to go, just go together." Lin Xu said nonchalantly.
"Thank you for your generosity, but could you please give me some time to explain some things?" Erofat requested.
"No problem, go ahead." Lin Xu nodded, looking very tolerant.
So Erofat bowed, turned and left.
"Master Lin Xu, he obviously didn't go there for the adventure." Nanzhu complained.
"Yes, but they are the descendants of the defenders after all, so be tolerant to them." Lin Xu said nonchalantly.
"Okay." Nan Zhu thought for a while and nodded, agreeing with Lin Xu's statement.
After all, he is a descendant of human servants and can be considered half one of his own.
On the other side, in a conference room in the distance.
The senior executives who were summoned urgently already knew that Erofat was going to follow Lin Xu to the bottom of the sea.
"Mr. Erofat, do you know your identity? You are the commander-in-chief. Do you know how much impact your decision to leave will have on the entire floating continent?" someone reminded.
"That's right, please fulfill your responsibilities and don't be fooled by the desire for adventure in your youth."
Some people expressed sadness.
"Everyone, can you confirm Mr. Lin Xu's identity now? Can you confirm that he is a human being?" Unexpectedly, Elofat mentioned another thing.
"Of course it's certain. Even God Duer took the initiative to beg for mercy. This is what we saw with our own eyes."
"That's right, all the outer gods have been killed."
"No, we can only think that he is a powerful being. He cannot be definitely a human being. But in the base of the Cleaners, there must be a way to prove his human identity." Elofat explained.
And this is his purpose.
He wanted to confirm whether Lin Xu was human or not.
Domore, or God Dur, and the archbishop of God Dur, could easily identify Lin Xu as a human being.
Because that's just a title. Since Lin Xu calls himself human, let's call him human.
But not them, they are descendants of the Vindicators.
Descendants of human servants.
You cannot just casually identify a person as a human being.
The rest of the senior management also understood what Erofat meant.
Everyone was silent for a while.
"What if you can't come back?" someone hesitated.
"If you don't come back, you can't come back. It's nothing more than choosing a leader." Erofat insisted.
"Okay, now that you are ready to wake up." Someone sighed.
"Erofat, you must come back. I am not convinced by someone else being the commander-in-chief."
"Go, if you can't come back, then prove him false. Although we are not his opponent, and we cannot avenge you, don't let us tarnish the reputation of the defender. We will not surrender casually. A person who calls himself human civilization."
The meeting was short. When Erofat returned, Lin Xu and the others were on a balcony, looking at the street scene below that looked like a normal city street.
However, this street is floating in the sky.
"Is it over?" Lin Xu turned around and looked at him.
"Thank you for your tolerance." Erofat saluted Lin Xu.
He knew that the meeting just now might not be hidden from Lin Xu and others.
In fact, he now tends to believe that Lin Xu is really human.
But he was missing a crucial piece of evidence.
He is the commander-in-chief, he cannot act emotionally.
Just like that, Lin Xu nodded, and then waved to the sky.
The Skylark, which had always been docked in mid-air, slowly descended and came to the balcony.
A staircase composed of a light curtain extends to the balcony.
Lin Xu and the others easily stepped on the stairs and boarded the Skylark.
Domor and Erofat looked at each other, and then they mustered up the courage to step onto this transparent ladder that looked unbelievable.
Step by step, we boarded the Skylark.
Then the Skylark flew towards the distance under the gaze of the people on the floating continent.
Moving within the planet is as simple as going to the neighborhood next door for the Skylark.
In just a short time, before Domore even finished introducing the various facilities in the cockpit to Erofat, the Skylark had already arrived above the Cleaner's undersea base.
Then the Skylark rushed into the sea.
First, outside the porthole window is the colorful underwater world, with all kinds of fish swarming in the water.
Above are the strips of light formed by the sunlight passing through the sea water. Everything looks like a dreamy beauty.
Domore and Erofat had never seen this kind of underwater scene before, and they looked out the window curiously.
But very quickly, the Skylark quickly dived to a depth of tens of thousands of meters.
The surrounding deep sea was pitch black, with no light at all.
Domore and Erofat finally experienced the pain of deep sea phobia for the first time in their lives.
The two of them turned their heads and no longer dared to look out the porthole window.
Until he dived deeper and deeper, finally countless rays of light came from below.
Everyone then looked out the portholes and saw a trench deep under the sea.
A huge factory that seemed to be still in operation stood there.
That is the Undersea Construction Factory of the Cleaners.
Every few decades, a group of built Cleaner warships would rush out of the sea and the planet from here. Unfortunately, they could not break out of the galaxy and were swallowed by the outer god Yggothus, the largest planet in the outer reaches of the galaxy.
However, even so, this factory is still executing the procedures and building continuously. When a certain number is accumulated, warships are dispatched.
But now, with the arrival of the Skylark, various defensive measures in the factory have been alarmed.
Various floating cannons rose from the factory and pointed their muzzles in the direction of the Skylark.
At the same time, turrets were raised all over the factory. At the same time, some tens of thousands of meters long warships that had been built, which were originally docked in the dock, were slowly taking off, aiming their guns at the Skylark.
All of a sudden, all kinds of weapons and equipment were aimed at the Skylark.
Domore and Erofat looked at the various turrets. Just a floating cannon was bigger than the Skylark.
But there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of such floating cannons.
Anyway, they've lost count of how many there are.
And the Skylark, pointed at so many various weapons and equipment, looked like a cannon hitting a mosquito.
Seeing this scene, those who don't know may still think that the Skylark has no virtue and ability to make such a base feel like it is facing a formidable enemy.
Well, at least Domore and Elofat now have similar views.
What virtues and abilities does the Skylark have? This is too exaggerated.
At the same time, the two of them only have one idea in mind.
This time it's dead.
"Yinghuo, has the shipyard responded to the signal we sent?" Lin Xu asked, looking at the huge factory complex that looked like a hedgehog exploding at that moment.
If there was a fight, Lin Xu would not be afraid at all.
With the current force of this factory, it looks quite intimidating.
In other words, it can scare some people who have never seen the world.
But in fact, this little defensive ability is nothing more than drizzle in a space war.
"There is a reply. The computer in the shipbuilding factory responded to the signal we sent, and it showed that humans are welcome to return." Yinghuo answered, and at the same time displayed the message just connected.
Erofat was shocked at first. It was the surprise of confirming Lin Xu's human identity, but then he became confused.
In fact, it was not just Erofat who was confused, but Lin Xu himself was also confused.
"Is this how the factory welcomes me?" Lin Xu pointed out the window, still adjusting the numerous floating cannons in the direction of the Skylark.
"The other party replied that the established program is being cancelled. The original program was authorized by humans thousands of years ago, and the cancellation requires your authorization." Yinghuo replied.
"Give him authority."
In this way, Domore and Erofat spent the most difficult ten seconds of their lives looking at the endless gun muzzles outside the porthole.
They didn't know if the cannons would fire thousands of cannons in the next second and leave them on the bottom of the sea forever.
It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that the endless floating cannon outside the porthole slowly landed back into the factory.
The rest of the various defensive measures were also lifted one by one.
Even those tens of thousands of meters long warships slowly landed back into the dock.
The crisis is over, or in the eyes of Somol and Elofat.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, the factory door opened to welcome the Skylark, and the small spaceship, which was only a hundred meters long, sailed into the huge gate that was tens of thousands of meters wide, as if it was sailing into the mouth of a giant.
When people who don't know see this scene, they might think it's the mouth of the abyss.
Soon, under Lin Xu's authority, Yinghuo took over every corner of the entire base, including all databases, as quickly as possible.
After taking inventory, we found that the current situation in the base is not very good.
Currently, people throughout the river system believe that the Cleaners claim to be the second sons of mankind.
But in fact, the title "Second Son of Mankind" was not what the Cleaners called themselves at first.
After all, the Cleaner fleet is just a machine that executes programs, so how can it call itself something like that?
The one who calls himself the second son of mankind is actually the maintainer.
In other words, the earliest defenders believed that the defenders and cleansers together were enough to bear the title of the second son of mankind.
Therefore, when the original Vindicators commanded the Cleaner fleet to perform various tasks, they would act in the name of the Second Son of Mankind.
It was not until the great changes that occurred thousands of years ago that the maintainers disappeared.
Only the Cleaners are left in the river system.
The Cleaners began to continue performing their tasks according to established procedures, and while performing their tasks, they still called themselves the Second Sons of Humanity.
So over time, the intelligent life in the entire river system began to think that it was the Cleansers who called themselves the second sons of mankind.
What I don’t know is that it was actually the defenders who believed that the defenders and the purifiers could afford the title of the second son of mankind, so they called themselves so.
The reason why the defenders call themselves so is also related to the family members who always followed humans.
The ancestors of the defenders considered the human family to be the eldest son of mankind.
Then they, the defenders, can naturally be regarded as the second sons.
However, even the ancestors of the defenders themselves knew that their second son could only call himself one.
Because they have never been recognized by humans as a dependent clan from the beginning to the end.
The defenders and purifiers are just a piece of free play that humans have left in this river system.
It's like the Galaxy Alliance in the previous galaxy.
Dispensable.
Even so, they are working hard to complete the task.
I look forward to one day being truly recognized by humans.
And even if the maintainers are not human dependents, the cleansers are always human creations! Therefore, the defenders plus the purifiers are regarded as the second sons of mankind, which is not unfounded.
Unfortunately, this dream was shattered due to a rebellion ten thousand years ago.
And this shipbuilding base of the Cleaners has become increasingly dilapidated after being corroded by inert filth for thousands of years.
If it weren't for the high-dimensional bonus of human creations, it would have collapsed long ago, and how could it be possible to continue to produce warships.
"Sir Lin Xu, the database has been backed up. Some data have been distorted by erosion and are no longer readable, but most of the data is well preserved." Ying Huohui reported.
"What did humans discover thousands of years ago?" This is the question that Lin Xu is most concerned about now.
"Sorry, there is no information on this."
"That's right." Lin Xu nodded, not surprised by this.
After a moment of silence, he continued to ask.
"Have you found the location of the human remains?"
"Found it." Yinghuo replied.
