The Silent Entropy Land was still changing. With the core layer as the center, the other four layers could shrink or expand at will, turning into starships, transport ships, planets, cotton balls, pyramids, polyhedra … even things that Ding Meng could not name.
Sacas said, "The Silent Entropy Land can adapt to any environment in the universe without being discovered, and I am the central hub that controls this place. According to the understanding of the Federal Empire, the Silent Entropy Land is like a photon processor, and I am the AI system that controls everything."
At this time, the hives in the sky suddenly emitted thousands of red rays, outlining a human-shaped mirror image next to the crystal.
The mirror image did look like a human, but there were many differences. It was about two meters tall, and its bald head was as big as a bucket. The diameter of the head alone was about one meter. On the contrary, its body and limbs were very short.
It had two pairs of eyes, and four straight thin antennae extended from its head, looking like antennae.
Ding Meng looked at it and could not help but be surprised. "You're not a mirror image?"
Sacas' voice came from the mirror image. "This is my real body. The Monarch created me in the image of an Aegi citizen. Most Aegi citizens look like me. According to the human understanding, I am a half-life with thousands of memories. The system has generated a simulated consciousness for me, providing me with all kinds of cognitive judgment. I am also an intelligent alien product."
Ding Meng was stunned on the spot. This was simply a godly skill.
The antennae on Sacas' head emitted distorted light waves, and the crystal ball changed again. An energy progress bar appeared next to it, and the number on it was 5%.
Sacas said, "The Monarch fled to this remote main star system. He was severely injured and needed a lot of resources to heal, but this star system was too barren, so he had no choice but to use the energy of Silent Entropy itself to heal himself. However, he underestimated his injuries, and the stored energy was far from enough. Even after the energy of the engine was absorbed, his injuries continued to worsen. In the end, Silent Entropy became useless and fell into a long self-healing state. Thirty thousand years have passed, but the recovery rate has only reached 5%, which is not enough to activate the engine at all. So, he quietly lurked in this Silent Universe, waiting for outsiders to enter.
Only now did Ding Meng sort out a clue. "This Silent Entropy spaceship is hiding in the Interstellar Wasteland to avoid being discovered by the enemy?"
Sacas nodded. "You're right to understand it that way. Because no one knows about the Monarch's death yet, this information must not be leaked to the enemy …"
Ding Meng said, "But you told me!"
Sacas looked at him and said calmly, "I can also make you forget everything at any time, including your memory of coming here."
Ding Meng could not help but shudder. He did not dare to doubt Sacas' words.
"Since you can't let others know, and you need outsiders to enter, isn't this a bit contradictory?"
Sacas said, "I've been looking for a replacement for the Monarch to inherit the Silent Entropy Land, then transport the resources here to restart the main engine."
"Have you found one?" Ding Meng was curious.
Sacas said, "You're the 9979th candidate!"
Ding Meng suddenly remembered how he was modified by the K-virus. He was the 164367th test subject. "More than 9,000 people came here before me?"
Sacas gently waved his hand, and a model of a tunnel appeared in the air. Ding Meng took a closer look. Wasn't this the mind tunnel he had just walked through?
The situation in the tunnel seemed to be fast-forwarded dozens of times faster. Alien creatures were transported in one after another. They carefully and diligently moved forward, but the tunnel created all kinds of inner demons. These inner demons dazzled Ding Meng. There were all kinds of strange things, and he could not name them at all.
Most of the creatures did not reach the end. They all went crazy and turned into light before disappearing. Sacas had probably wiped them out.
Only a very small number of creatures entered the core hall of the Silent Entropy Land through the tunnel. However, these creatures, like Ding Meng, were very curious and went to take a look at the Monarch's throne before disappearing into light as well.
Sacas said, "You're the first human to walk in. What surprised me was that you didn't die from the backlash after taking a look at the Monarch's throne. This proves that you're qualified to inherit the throne."
Ding Meng asked, "Did everyone who came in die?"
Sacas said, "No, there's an exception. She was a Steel Mane. Although she didn't reach the end, I didn't wipe her out because she was pregnant. This is the rule set by the Monarch. I can't do anything to pregnant women. Women and children are the hope of the universe's future. We can't destroy the future. Actually, you should know this person …"
Ding Meng saw an adult female Steel Mane in the tunnel. In the system view, her stomach was transparent, and there was a white light inside.
Ding Meng seemed to have understood something. He said in surprise, "The child in Ming Li's wife's stomach is Whitey?"
Salas nodded and said, "The Steel Mane Origin Race is called the Harker, and they are also under the rule of the Ai Ji civilization. They are a race that is good at exploration and development, and they are also friends of the Ai Ji civilization. Of course, I will not eliminate her. I only erased this part of her memory. Her situation is very special. She has mutated and evolved into a Steel Mane Race, but she is pregnant with the Harker child of the Origin Race. According to my probability formula, this child will bring great changes to the Steel Mane Race. He can sense the location of energy, and he may even help the Land of Entropy in the future.
Ding Meng was impressed. The so-called fate was not a coincidence, but a result of the sophisticated calculations of an advanced civilization.
Suddenly, he understood the context of this matter very clearly. Whitey's mother had indeed been to the Silent Land of Entropy. She knew that this place was abnormal, so she took a picture before she was teleported here and stored it as a precious video. Although part of her memory was erased, the picture told her that this place definitely had resources that the Steel Mane Race needed. When Whitey was born, she probably changed her mind and sent Whitey to the concentration camp.
For those lifeforms with short lifespans, being kept in the dark was a blessing.
There was also a law in this universe. The more you knew, the more you would understand how insignificant and insignificant you were.
Ding Meng fell silent and said, "Is the reason why this place has become a land of death because the Lonely Entropy Spaceship has absorbed all the energy in this star field?"
Sacas said, "Yes, but some of the rare metals that have solidified cannot be absorbed."
Ding Meng asked, "Why?"
Sacas said, "Because the Silent Entropy Spaceship cannot be exposed. As the butler, I cannot go out either. I need an outsider to transport me."
Ding Meng understood. This explained why Whitey could sense the dynamic crystal. "Why do you want me to inherit the Silent Entropy Spaceship?"
Sacas said casually, "Because you have no choice. You can either inherit it or be erased. If you don't want to inherit it and still want to live, I can only erase this part of your memory in your head and send you away. You will never know this place."
Ding Meng fell silent again. He had always known that there was no free lunch in this world. Everything had a price. "If I choose to inherit it, do I have to do something for you?" Sacas waved his hand.
"Don't worry. It's not that bad yet. As I said before, you have the preliminary qualifications to continue, but you are not qualified to inherit it. At the same time, I have to tell you that if you choose to inherit it, you will face the risk of your soul being destroyed. Based on your current strength, I estimate that your chances of success are less than 40%."
Another golden mark appeared in the air. It looked like two triangles twisted together to form a strange arc. It looked like a butterfly-shaped mask, but it looked more like an exquisite crown.
"What is this?" Ding Meng was curious.
Sacas explained, "The mark of the Aegis people can also be understood as the mark of the Heavenly King. From the perspective of you humans, this is the final test. Once you pass, you will be qualified to inherit it. If you fail, you will disappear from this world. Have you thought about it?"
Ding Meng nodded. "I am willing to give it a try!"
Sacas said, "Very good. I am very pleased that you have the courage to come this far. You don't have to worry. During the test, I will guide you. Now, use your telekinesis to touch this mark!"
Soon, he released his telekinesis string and established a telepathic link with Ding Meng. Ding Meng's vision blurred. He suddenly found himself in the elementary space of consciousness. It was still the coast under the night, with low waves.
Suddenly, everything in front of him changed. He saw the true appearance of the Aegis civilization. This was a country with advanced technology and flourishing martial arts. The country they built spanned six hundred million light years, ruling countless races and galaxies. It was the top god-level civilization in the universe, maintaining the order of the northern sky.
The Aegis people were the elite race. Any ordinary warrior in the Federal Empire would be a battle sage. In the historical records of the Aegis, the Aegis civilization had existed for ten billion years. On the other hand, the human world only had a history of a few hundred million years. Humans had only entered the interstellar era for a few thousand years. It was no wonder that many alien races regarded humans as low-level life forms.
Sacas' voice sounded in his ear. "This view is wrong. From the history of human development, we are indeed in the initial stage of a race. However, humans are also intelligent creatures. As long as they are intelligent creatures, they will definitely be able to develop. On the contrary, some non-intelligent natural races and races do not have thoughts. They are used to relying on their instincts and relying on the environment. No matter how strong they are, it is only temporary. Sooner or later, they will be replaced by other races."
Ding Meng nodded. At this time, he saw the ups and downs of the Heavenly King's life. He finally understood why Sacas chose him, a human, as his successor.
