Eternal Night

Chapter 416 The Future World (Part )

"...No, it's okay for them to kowtow to me, but why are they kowtowing to this gunboat?" Wu Xianxiao touched his neck and head and couldn't help asking curiously.

His emotional perception was indeed always in use, but the emotions he sensed were all piety, ecstasy, and all kinds of pure thoughts like fanatics, without any distractions. Even distractions like whether he was pious enough, such piety was worthy of praise, and he was really pious made him completely unable to understand why they did this.

Kaisiya already knew about Wu Xianxiao's unfamiliarity and ignorance of this era. She considered her tone and words and said, "These people are members of the Mechanicus. They firmly believe that machines have spirits, and above these spirits is the God of All Machines, who is omniscient and omnipotent. Machines are the manifestation of the God of All Machines in the world, so they kowtow. Because this gunboat has completed a great mission and brought back the equally great you, they believe that this gunboat is the manifestation of the God of All Machines."

Wu Xianxiao looked at the group of fashionable cyberpunk modified humans for a while. He said speechlessly, "I always thought they were scholars engaged in technology or something..."

Kesiya nodded as a matter of course: "That's right, they are scholars and experts in science and technology. They are the small group of people in the empire who are most proficient in the field of science and technology."

"?"

Wu Xianxiao's head was full of question marks. In his emotional perception, Kaisiya's thoughts were very pure, so pure that he seemed to take it for granted, and there were still not many distracting thoughts. This made him unable to perceive the core key, which was... why were these fucking people who were kowtowing scholars and experts in science and technology, and the most knowledgeable group?
Forget it.

Wu Xianxiao wanted to throw his brain away directly to avoid making his neck and head too fragile, so he said, "Get me all the information about the major events after the 21st century on Earth, the direction and process of history, and all the situations up to now as soon as possible. I want to see it. Oh, and also compile a copy of all the forces, subspaces, demons, and what you call aliens."

Kesiya immediately stood up straight and shouted, "Yes!"

Wu Xianxiao took two steps forward, then stopped and said, "Everyone is very tired, and there are many injured. Don't rush to do anything else now. Let everyone rest for a few days... And, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Wu Xianxiao walked towards the room assigned to him.

Kaisiya stood there blankly for a long time, then she lowered her head slightly towards Wu Xianxiao's receding figure...

As an Inquisitor, and an elite Inquisitor with a Grand Inquisitor as her master, Caesia's seat is a Gothic-class heavy cruiser. There are a total of more than 120,000 crew members on board. Even Caesia herself does not know the exact number, and this is the norm for the entire human empire.

And this is the result of Caesia, as an Inquisitor, routinely cleaning up his own ships. Throughout the human empire, there are many merchant ships, transport ships, or armed ships that are much smaller than the Gothic-class cruisers, carrying hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

Therefore, nearly 250,000 people boarded the Gothic-class cruiser this time, and there was no crowding... In fact, if they were not treated as human beings, let alone 250,000 people, even 2.5 million people could be accommodated.

These are not problems, at least not the main problems in this world.

There is only one major problem in this world... faith and corruption!

After the cruiser set sail, Kesiya did not immediately order it to prepare to enter the subspace jump state, because she was not sure whether it was appropriate to bring Wu Xianxiao into the subspace. She just checked again and again whether all the personnel entering the ship were demons and whether they had any signs of corruption.

The result gave her great peace of mind and satisfaction.

No one is evil, and no one has signs of corruption.

This may be the only time in history that mortals have witnessed a demon, or even fought a demon themselves, and shown no signs of corruption.

This also illustrates the uniqueness and importance of Wu Xianxiao!
Next, Caesia called in priests, technical priests, and all those who had relations with scholars who had landed on the warship from the heavenly world, a total of thirteen people, and began to discuss with them how to describe human history and tell Wu Xianxiao.

The priest spoke first: "Since this is the will of the Living Saint, it must also be the will of the Emperor. We must obey it. Moreover, with the Living Saint on this battleship, any text we write and any knowledge we spread will not lead to the corruption of the warp. But I am worried that we cannot fulfill the requirements of the Living Saint, because... even if we know some knowledge, it is only the knowledge of our own world and our own field. Unless we are a great scholar certified by the State Religion, the Inquisition, or a great sage in the Mechanicus, we cannot outline the history of mankind."

This is indeed the truth.

The human history of this world is too vast and too grand. This is just the overall history of mankind. If it involves specific star regions or even specific planetary worlds, then all this historical information will be gathered into a sea of ​​books.

Kaisiya immediately said, "What the Living Saint wants is a general description of information. He does not pursue specific events that occurred in a certain year. Let me put it bluntly. The Living Saint may be completely ignorant of human history after the 21st century. Therefore, we only need to describe human history after the 21st century in general."

But everyone was still confused. Because let alone Wu Xianxiao, they only knew about the time unit of the 21st century through hearsay and the technical support of the technical priest.

The discussion lasted all night and the argument ended the next morning.

They decided to continue to adopt Caesia's proposal and describe the historical process of mankind in a comprehensive form. For example, during the tens of thousands of years from the 21st century to the Golden Age, they also tried their best to describe the words such as mankind walking out of the starry sky, and then the experiences of the Golden Age could be described in detail. Then the Emperor as a god began to walk on earth and led the great expedition of mankind. Then they were silent again.

Because the great rebellion at the end of the expedition that caused the Emperor to fall into sleep was a taboo among taboos, let alone describing it, those who knew about it would probably be burned directly at the stake if they did not have a strong enough background.

Kaisiya said with a headache: "I will personally relay this to the Living Saint... You should describe the history you know as much as possible, and then integrate it and present it to the Living Saint... Although the Living Saint is extremely kind, please remember that he represents the will of the Emperor. I hope you will not go astray due to laziness!"

This meant that it had to be written as quickly as possible. Everyone was very awe-inspiring in their hearts, so naturally they all said yes repeatedly, not daring to disobey.

After all these people had left, Kesiya came to the Star Language Hall with a heavy heart. She did not speak to anyone, but found a quiet room to sit down. After thinking for a long time, she wrote something in cipher code on a piece of paper.

"…The above is my entire experience in the paradise world of Otia. I swear in the name of the Emperor that everything I said is true. There is absolutely no falsehood or lies."

"The ship currently holds a captive who is suspected to be the most powerful demon of the Lord of Change, Carlos Fateweaver (unsealed), and the head of the demon primarch Angron (not dead, unsealed)."

"I have confirmed again and again that there are no signs of corruption on the entire ship. All the poisons in the subspace have been isolated... No, it should be cleared."

“But I am not sure whether my mental state when I wrote this was already in a corrupted form, nor am I sure whether what I saw and heard were illusions of corruption.”

"My respected master, Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus, I request that you come to my star system as soon as possible and examine me and everything on the ship. If there are any signs of corruption, please remove me and everything here as soon as possible."

"If all this comes true, then perhaps our long-cherished wish, the hope of our human race, will come true."

"All is the Emperor's will, all is His will!"

Then, Caesia ordered the Master of Star Language to pass this information to her master, Grand Inquisitor Anris Gus.

On the other hand, Wu Xianxiao had been walking around the entire cruiser during these three days, getting to know the people, talking to them, giving them confidence, etc. Then on the third day, he got the first volume of the general description of human history.

"…Since the 21st century, human technology has made great progress…"

"…Humans left the Earth and headed for the universe…"

"…This was a golden age, as if it were golden. Human technology had made great progress. They could easily transform any planet, push a planet into the habitable zone of a star system, and create magnificent machines that could change a star system. It was even said that they could create a time machine that could stop time and reverse time…"

"...But all this greatness collapsed in a rebellion called the Iron Man's Rebellion..."

"…Humans in the Golden Age were called Golden Humans. In order to manage the vast and countless planetary worlds and to run the vast and extremely large social civilization of mankind, they created many artificial intelligences. Those were hateful intelligences, and they were terrible demons lurking in the machines. These intelligent machines, called Iron Men, rebelled against the Golden Humans. After a brutal war, the Golden Humans defeated the Iron Men's rebellion, but the Golden Age ended there…"

"...an unimaginably vast warp storm swept across the entire Milky Way. From then on, faster-than-light travel could no longer be carried out (Note 1). All remaining golden human colonies were cut off from each other and could only govern themselves. Some planets' entire populations disappeared in the warp storms, while others lost their civilizations due to rebellions, civil unrest, the rise of extreme rulers, and other reasons. The entire planet degenerated into a primitive society, or was destroyed in a civil war..."

"...the Warp Storm lasted for five thousand years, and then about ten thousand years ago, in M30, the Great Spirit appeared on Terra..."

Note 1: The subspace is the world of spirit and soul. In the subspace, there is no time with a fixed flow rate, nor is there space with a fixed distance. Superluminal travel depends on the subspace. When matter breaks through the veil of reality and enters the subspace, it can cross distances of tens, hundreds, or thousands of light years in a very short time. This is superluminal travel.
