The way to communicate with the unknown was to carve a pattern on the inside of the hanging coffin with a red line, and the way to summon the unknown was to carve a door on the outside of the hanging coffin with a red line. He realized that the red line was the pen, and the lid of the hanging coffin was the paper. This was how the unknown communicated and operated.
He found it amazing.
Azure Lotus Yu and the others had studied the coffin, but they hadn't been able to find anything useful.
He regretted destroying the silver coffin. If the lid hadn't been destroyed, it might have been of great use because he had the silver line.
Soon, the door carving was completed, and then it spread like water, gradually spreading to the entire red coffin lid. During this time, Lu Yin watched the door carving form with his own eyes. Creatures with sorrowful auras gradually spread, and finally, the red coffin was peeled off to form a door. It was the unknown's door.
Seeing the door appear with their own eyes, Lu Yin and the others couldn't understand how it was done. They could only say that it was a different kind of power.
Many people couldn't understand the power of will, and so on. It was normal that they couldn't understand the power of others.
"Let's go. We'll leave the rest to fate," Azure Lotus Yu said.
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. Fate?
He didn't know where Fate was. She and the Grim Reaper were too mysterious, and there was still no news of them.
The next moment, Lu Yin took Azure Lotus Yu and disappeared, leaving only the unknown door in their place.
The attacks of technological civilizations were no threat to this door. It could even block a single attack from Azure Lotus Yu, and it required an attack at the Eternal level to destroy it.
Technological civilizations might not be able to release such an attack so quickly.
"Beep — Creature disappears — Beep — Creature disappears."
"Disappeared?
Ran away?
Activate absolute analysis. "
"Beep, absolute analysis activated, beep, absolute analysis in progress, beep, absolute analysis in progress, beep, analysis complete, no change in matter, no change in space, no change in time."
"Impossible, how can there be no changes at all?
Since it ran away, even if it moved, it should have affected the surrounding matter. This can't be changed. How can there be no changes? Continue analysis. "
"Beep — Absolute analysis in progress — Beep — Absolute analysis … Absolute analysis complete. No changes in matter, space, or time."
"The third team guessed that it escaped through time or space. The branch ship couldn't analyze it, but the main ship couldn't. Nothing changed. Could it be teleportation?"
"Report to the Empire immediately."
"Beep — Foreign matter detected. Remove?"
"There's more?
Analyze. "
"Beep, analysis start, beep, analysis complete. It matches the previous creature perfectly."
"Match?
Or them?
Why did he come back?
Absolute analysis. "
"Beep, absolute analysis activated. Beep, absolute analysis in progress. Beep, absolute analysis complete. Target disappeared. Time reversal. Warning, time reversal."
"How much?"
"Three seconds."
"Three seconds?
Time has changed, but it's not that it hasn't changed at all. In that case, the instant disappearance just now might not have been them leaving, but rather, we couldn't detect them. In fact, they were in the same place just now. This time, they really left by reversing time by three seconds. That's right. Immediately send a complete report to the Empire and request for their analysis. "
"Beep — Foreign matter detected, remove it?"
"Again?
Or them?
Analyze it for me. "
"Analysis in progress. Analysis in progress. Analysis completed. Image sent back. Height, thickness, degree of material change …"
"This is … a door?"
"Beep. Do you want to clear?
Beep — Do you want to clear? "
"Of course not. This door must have been left behind by those two creatures. Could they have been hiding behind this door?
Immediately send a complete report to the Empire. "
"Beep, report sent. Beep, report sent. Beep, report sent complete."
"In that case, wait for the Empire's reply. By the way, how long until the third main ship arrives?"
"The third main ship is in the middle of a jump. There are still five jumps left."
"Then it'll be soon. The Empire's reply should have arrived by then."
On the other side, Lu Yin and Lotus Emperor appeared not far from the Gate of Arts. They looked back and smiled bitterly. "We almost made a big mistake. The possibility of using this technological civilization has decreased."
Lotus Emperor was also helpless. "I'm used to it. There's no other way."
Just now, Lu Yin had left the unknown door behind and ran away. As soon as he left, he felt that something was wrong. The other party couldn't detect them at all. Could they have guessed that they had teleported?
Even if it wasn't teleportation, being able to immediately escape the other party's detection range meant that they were definitely experts. This would make the other party even more wary.
Helpless, Lu Yin turned back and tried to escape once more.
This time, he deliberately reversed time and left a flaw in his escape so that the other party would know that they had left.
It wasn't difficult for Eternal lifeforms to escape the other party's detection range, but it was different if the other party couldn't even find a trace of them.
Lu Yin's goal was to lure the other party to the other side of the door, not to engage in a psychological battle.
Now, it all depended on whether the other party would go to the Bramble Civilization on the other side.
Lu Yin looked into the distance with a complicated expression. He had never encountered the Bramble Civilization before. They were neither friend nor foe, yet they had used technology to attack. This was difficult for him to accept.
But the universe was like this. No one knew who would be the next to be destroyed.
The Ninth Heaven Universe had destroyed many civilizations that were close to it. There was no mercy, and mercy was just a pretense.
Everything was for the sake of survival.
The unknown would not be reasonable if they wanted to destroy human civilization, and Lu Yin would not be merciful to foreign civilizations. From another perspective, the Bramble Civilization would not be merciful to human civilization either.
Everything was about strength.
At the same time, there was a part of the universe that was filled with green planets. The darkness of the universe was suppressed by the green, causing the universe to emit a hazy halo.
This was the Bramble Civilization, and it had originally been as dark as the other universes. However, ever since the Bramble lifeforms had proliferated, they had spread throughout the universe, including parallel spacetimes. They had constantly changed the planets and cultivated them into crystals suitable for their survival.
Looking from afar, it looked like a blurry, dark green flat stone.
There were also Bramble lifeforms everywhere on the crystal planets. These Bramble lifeforms came in different sizes, with the smallest being the size of a palm while the larger ones could cover the entire planet.
The Bramble lifeforms were shaped like worms with wide heads and narrow bodies. They had four claws and countless thorns on their bodies. Their entire bodies were made up of green and white spots. They climbed up the crystals and flew through space, leaving behind countless green marks along the way.
The green marks in space came from the Bramble lifeforms.
In this universe, the Bramble lifeforms were invincible, and all other lifeforms were reduced to food.
All of a sudden, a shadow swept past and swept away the dark green traces in the universe's starry skies. It swayed in the void.
"Ancestor, you've awakened?"
"Were there any other lifeforms that came?"
"Ancestor, there were none"
"None?
Strange, why am I feeling more and more uneasy?
This is not a good feeling "
"Did the Ancestor sense something?"
"I've already checked, there was nothing. Strange, strange"
The Bramble Civilization's Ancestor didn't notice that there were two more inconspicuous portals outside of their universe, one on each side of their civilization.
Within a square inch of space, a shadow stared at the faraway universe and muttered to itself: "Those Bramble lifeforms even ate up the Mother Tree of their universe, how ruthless. Especially those Eternal lifeforms, they aren't easy to deal with. Luckily, Lan Meng gave me the coordinates of a civilization he knew, which is this civilization"
"This civilization has two Eternal lifeforms, so they should be able to destroy this Bramble Civilization. If not, I still know of another civilization. Even though it only has one Eternal lifeform, it has already gone through a war with the previous civilization, so it should be enough to destroy this Bramble Civilization. I hope I don't have to use it, I'm afraid there won't be enough time"
"Competing with me?
The human civilization?
Hmph, wait until I join the Unknown, then I'll help Lan Meng deal with you guys "
"Now it's a matter of who's faster. If that human wants the human civilization to act, then it'll be troublesome. That human civilization isn't weak, so I have to be one step faster than him"
With that in mind, it took out a brown floating coffin. Unlike the red coffin, this brown floating coffin could be stored inside a cosmic ring, allowing it to be taken out at any time.
Following that, it took out a brown string and carved a portal on top of the brown floating coffin.
The portal continued to expand, displaying the images of various lifeforms.
"Come, come, let me join the Unknown as soon as possible. I must join the Unknown, come" the shadow revealed an eye filled with anticipation and excitement.
As the portal appeared, it flicked the brown string and activated it.
A moment later, the portal erupted in light, attracting the attention of the civilization ahead of it. A powerful presence swept over.
The shadow retreated.
On one side of the Bramble Civilization, the portal erupted in light, attracting the attention of the Bramble Civilization's Ancestor.
It was a gigantic Bramble lifeform, so large that it almost covered the entire sky.
The Bramble Bird Ancestor's protruding vertical eyes stared at the portal outside the civilization. What is that?
The feeling of unease grew stronger and stronger, it attacked the portal without hesitation, wanting to destroy it.
A moment later, a lifeform appeared from within the portal. While it wasn't an Eternal lifeform, it still had the strength of a Ku De-level lifeform.
As soon as the lifeform entered the portal, it saw the Bramble Bird Ancestor's gigantic body pressing down on it and screamed in shock. Half of its body retreated, but the other half of its body was crushed, its blood splattering across the sky.
The portal swayed but wasn't destroyed.
The Bramble Bird Ancestor attacked again, but another powerful presence came out from the portal. It was an Eternal lifeform.
A civilization war broke out.
More and more lifeforms entered the Bramble Bird Civilization through the portal. There was no reason for this. As soon as both civilizations had a channel to contact each other, what awaited them was war. This was the current situation of most civilizations within the Square Meter. Unless both sides were equal in strength, they wouldn't have any scruples. Or perhaps, they had some understanding of the Unknowns.
Otherwise, both sides would only think that the portal came from another civilization, bringing about a civilization war.
The shadow also took the chance to enter the Bramble Bird Civilization through the portal, observing the Eternal lifeform war. Another Eternal lifeform would soon join the battle. Shortening the duration of the war would shorten the Causality restraints, two against one was the best choice.
Come, destroy the Bramble Bird Civilization, let me join the Unknowns.
