Super God: Speak to the ultimate fear!

Chapter 167 The Ultimate Artifact That Illuminates the Known Universe—The 'Great Clock'! [Please Subscribe]

Although Feng Xi's plan was for Earth to enter the interstellar age relatively quickly, the thought of the Lieyang civilization, which had been creating gods for tens of thousands of years, still living a life of peace and prosperity, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, seemed very abstract to him.

Feng Xi even strongly suspects that a certain setting about a warp god in a game called Warhammer that appeared on Earth was passively influenced by the Lieyang civilization, thus causing the current abstract state of the Lieyang civilization.

For example, to use a joke from the global internet:
When you travel to a backward country called Lieyang, you raise a rebel army of soldiers in iron helmets and plain clothes and fight your way to the county magistrate's office. Just when you think you will be able to break through the office and capture the county magistrate, you suddenly notice that the ground is shaking slightly. When you look up, you see that the county office is flying up in the rolling dust!

Yes. The biggest contributor to Earth's rapid entry into the interstellar age was the sheer amount of equipment provided by the Taotie civilization. Although Feng Xi hasn't yet tallied the losses of the Taotie fleet, Earth's civilization will eventually be able to arm at least a hundred interstellar warships.

The only thing Earth civilization needs to do right now is to try to digest the gifts of the Taotie civilization and adapt to the transformation from a surface civilization to an interstellar civilization in the shortest possible time.

There wasn't much difficulty in controlling the interstellar warship, because the intelligent model in Feng Xi's hands was not unadjustable, and could be made into a ship girl adapted to the interstellar warship.

"The Taotie civilization has practically thrown out its entire warship technology across the entire industry chain." Inside the Nuwa Palace, Feng Xi shut down his communication with Lena. In a daze, the surrounding space instantly vanished, and a small, exquisite lapis lazuli warship appeared on Feng Xi's chest. In the virtual world, Feng Xi's gaze slowly returned to his senses, looking at the fleeing Taotie fleet in front of the lapis lazuli warship, his expression flickering.

During two consecutive months of intense battles against the Taotie fleet, the Nuwa Palace had thoroughly understood the technical blueprints of various conventional interstellar warships of the Taotie civilization.

In other words, the Taotie civilization's interstellar warship technology has been completely analyzed by them. As long as there are enough resources and a spaceport is built, they can manufacture them at any time. The core technologies of the Taotie warships—materials, engines, energy, and systems—can all be replaced by the Nuwa Palace.

Furthermore, due to the frequent patching and repair of the flagship of the Nuwa Palace, the technicians within the Nuwa Palace are extremely familiar with the ship's structure. As long as they have the right tools, they can slowly and painstakingly build a warship even without Feng Xi.

"If they want to gain an advantage, their current technological level won't be very effective. The Nuwa Palace will be an insurmountable obstacle for them unless they come up with more advanced technology." Feng Xi wouldn't underestimate the Taotie civilization, but given the current level of their starships, they couldn't cause much damage to the Nuwa Palace.

If the Taotie civilization wants to continue its invasion, it must develop super technology capable of destroying the Nuwa Palace in order to gain an advantage in the next solar system war.

"The Taotie King ship near Saturn was also unlucky." As if thinking of something, Feng Xi shook his head slightly. The Taotie King ship had a lot of advanced technology, but in the end, it didn't get used at all before being physically decapitated by the Nuwa Palace flagship and quickly taken offline.

Realizing that they might not be able to find the wreckage of the Taotie's royal ship, Feng Xi shook his head slightly. Then, with a thought, he appeared in a gene-based drug production workshop that was being built silently and began to assist in the production.

"At the current production rate, it won't be long before we can give everyone in the Nuwa Palace an injection." Inside the gene potion workshop, Feng Xi looked at the ghostly crew members who occasionally floated by and the pale golden gene potions that were being produced in an assembly line manner, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The first-generation gene-optimizing agent has a very mild effect; you could even call it a gene-repairing solution without any problem. Everyone who receives this first-generation gene-optimizing agent will, within the next few years, have their body's gene cells begin to move towards the theoretical limits of their current physical condition. However, there will be differences; not everyone will evolve towards a so-called common, perfect state.

Under the concept of the Divine River Body, there is only one person who can truly be called perfect, and that is the Nuwa gene in the initial stage of Feng Xi.

However, many people have a serious misunderstanding that the Nuwa gene is the most perfect divine river body gene.

Only Feng Xi himself understood that the reason the Nuwa gene was perfect was because it was very likely the perfect sum of the Shenhe genes. In other words, the perfection of the Nuwa gene was dynamic; the larger and more perfect the entire Shenhe gene database, the more perfect the Nuwa gene would be.

Civilization shaped Nuwa, and Nuwa embodied civilization.

In a sense, Feng Xi and Keisha are actually on the same wavelength. The only difference between them is that the latter stopped progressing after reaching the end of civilization, while the former, after reaching the end of civilization, reversed the situation and placed civilization at the top, becoming the starting point or foundation of civilization.

"Although some insignificant fragments of memory have appeared, according to current genetic research, my complete form should also be a point of convergence of civilization, just like Holy Keisha. However, unlike Holy Keisha, there are three such points. As the saying goes, 'The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things.' These three points, representing three different systems, are intertwined and allow civilization to continuously spiral upwards."

As Feng Xi's Divine River Body level increased, he began to have a better understanding of his origins and background.

First of all, his complete form must have suffered some extremely severe destruction, leaving him with only a relatively good Divine River Particle.
Secondly, he may have suffered some kind of conceptual shock. Little Milka's Divine Atoms can record so much data, so his Divine River Particles should not have started from scratch.

Then, as the battle with the Taotie fleet intensified, and with the addition of the angel Zhixin, Fengxi began to realize a serious problem: all these civilizations were using 'Earth Time'.

Other things like writing systems, languages, and cultures can be attributed to interference from other civilizations, or even to colonization thousands of years ago. But time, specifically years, months, and days, follows the patterns of stars, planets, and satellites. Does that mean all other civilizations' planets have the exact same rotational data as Earth? That's utter nonsense.

"Do you know something? All the top civilizations are rushing to Earth?" In the simulated world, Feng Xi spread his hands slightly, and with a bang, a small lump of milk appeared out of thin air and landed in Feng Xi's hand, heavy as a feather.

“I’ll consider the Taotie civilization an isolated case, but Zhixin also uses Earth’s time system. Although you define the length of a day differently, when it comes to returning to a year, they are all exactly the same, even if your planet doesn’t rotate like that at all. This is completely inexplicable.” Feng Xi looked at the little milksha in his hand and said silently.

It was only Zhixin's arrival that made Fengxi realize this serious problem, and at the same time, it made him vaguely realize why the Earth was being paid attention to by the gods.

Previously, he had been preoccupied with dealing with the Taotie fleet and hadn't had time to think about these issues. Now that the war was drawing to a close, Fengxi wanted to have a proper discussion with Xiaonaisha about this matter.

"Do you really want to know the answer to this question?" Little Milksha clenched her little fists, frowned, and looked pained, as if she was preparing to unleash a powerful attack. But in the next instant, with a bang, a pair of round, white little wings appeared on Little Milksha's back. Then, Little Milksha flapped her little wings and took flight with a whoosh.

This is a virtual world created by Nuwa. Even if Little Milka doesn't grow little wings for herself, she can still fly.

Because Feng Xi's Nuwa world is essentially built according to the creation mode of a pixel game. "You can't hide this from me. I don't know now only because I don't have enough data. Even if you tried to hide it from me, you could only hide it for a few months at most. When we enter the interstellar era and connect with interstellar civilizations, I will find out." Feng Xi looked at the little Nai Sha who had grown small wings in front of her, her expression calm.

In theory, once Little Milka grows up, she really can sprout a pair of little wings for herself.

“There’s really nothing to hide. In fact, any interstellar civilization with a brain would be able to detect Earth’s peculiarity.” Little Milksha flew onto Feng Xi’s head and perched there, resting her chin on her hands as she looked at the constantly moving production line in the distance, saying in her childish voice:

"Because you are using the Divine River Year."

"The known definitions of the sun in the universe are largely the same, only the length of time is different. For example, your system is base 24, while others use base 12. In essence, they are the same."

"But the definition of this year is the only one that has been unified by the Divine River." If it were anyone else, even Ge Xiaolun of the Galaxy Force, Xiao Nai Sha wouldn't have said these things. But facing Feng Xi, Xiao Nai Sha felt there was no need to hide anything.

As Feng Xi said, she couldn't hide it from him for very long.

Since it's information that Feng Xi will know sooner or later, there's no problem with Xiao Nai Sha telling Feng Xi a little earlier.

"I have a question. How did you manage to maintain such a precise algorithm for the Shenhe year even after the Shenhe civilization disappeared for tens of thousands of years? And how are all the Shenhe year recording methods in the universe compatible with each other?" Feng Xi was not surprised by the Shenhe year, because he knew some information from the data provided by the Super God Academy.

"Or is Earth the timer for the Divine River Year?" Feng Xi proposed a very impressive idea.

“Your wild imagination actually makes some sense, but we have a big clock,” Little Milka laughed.

"The one in Death God Karl's hand?" Feng Xi was taken aback upon hearing this.

“That’s right. The parameters of the God River Year in the known universe are all calculated according to the Great Clock of the Styx Galaxy. Other interstellar civilizations will actively connect with the God River Year system of the Styx Galaxy every once in a while to correct their own slight discrepancies.” Little Milka’s eyes flashed with a strange light. The Great Clock, the Great Clock. The super celestial computer in Karl’s hand is essentially acting as the 'clock' of the known universe.

The true name of the Great Clock is probably only known to Karl himself. Little Naisa thinks that her complete form should also know a little bit about it, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that in the eyes of other known interstellar civilizations in the universe, the super celestial computer in Karl's hands is the Great Clock.

"No wonder you all call it the Big Clock, it really is a clock." Feng Xi was somewhat silent; this explanation was both reasonable and strange.

"Of course, the Great Clock has more functions than just these, but most interstellar civilizations only know its function of recording time, and therefore only know its name as the Great Clock. For example, I think I like to call it the Lamp." Little Milky thought hard for a moment, but finally gave up.

"A lamp?" Feng Xi was taken aback.
Why is it called a lamp?

"Perhaps the Styx Galaxy is just too dark?" Little Milksha said with a nonchalant smile.

Feng Xi frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"But you just said it's the clock of the entire universe, so it's also the light of the entire universe."

"..." Little Milksha frowned slightly. She felt as if she had grasped something, but for some reason, she just couldn't quite grasp that spark of inspiration.

“I think I have some memories in the Dark Dimension, but I don’t have the authority of a single Divine Atom to extract them.” Little Milksha frowned and thought for a moment, then her brows relaxed and she lay flat on Feng Xi’s head.

Feng Xi's eyes flickered slightly. Little Nai Sha was a bit slow on the uptake, but Feng Xi didn't have that concern.

Little Nash wouldn't call a large clock a lamp for no reason.
The entire universe calls the Great Clock the Great Clock because they only know that it has a clock-like effect. In the terms of Earth's scientific civilization, other civilizations observed that it was a Great Clock, so they believed it to be one.

Holy Keisha's observation of the object was that it was a lamp. So, while wondering about the observations of other civilizations, Holy Keisha pretended to know nothing.

“A hole in the four-dimensional world is a sphere in the three-dimensional world,” Feng Xi murmured to himself, recalling a sentence his mentor Qin Mo had once told him, which he used to interpret the different observations of the Great Clock by different civilizations.

"A black hole?" Little Milksha was stunned, looking blank and dumbfounded.

"Black hole is the term used in the four-dimensional world. We three-dimensional beings should call black hole a black sphere."

"Hmm?" Little Milksha stared blankly for a moment, then snorted softly and tapped Feng Xi's head with her little fist: "You know I'm not good at computing, so you're trying to play abstract games with me, huh? Believe me or not, I'll hit you on the head?"

However, Feng Xi just smiled slightly, his eyes flashing: "But the reality is that we call black holes black holes."

"uh-huh?"

"The three-dimensional human brain uses abstraction to understand black holes."
