Chapter 169: A Brief Invasion

“Why…?”

Lin and the storage point are not fighting now.

The main reason is that it cannot attack as long as Lin asks it something.

And now it seems that it has no...will to fight.

This is mainly because almost all of its similar species that invaded here have been eliminated.

These guardians of order appeared in large numbers inside the starry sky simulation device and invaded many places such as alien worlds.

The residents of these alien worlds formed a defense at an extremely fast speed to resist the invasion of these guardians.

And... they were solved quickly.

The scenes of these guardians of order being killed one after another were all played out in this room.

Every wall became a screen, broadcasting the scene of their death.

Seeing this, the mood at the storage point... has become very bad.

The storage point originally believed that its kind should be able to easily occupy these alien worlds, including the dreamland of Ersh, and then start to develop based on this place.

But... now it is in a stage of almost complete destruction.

Lin saw that the residents of the other world on the screen were going crazy... For example, the characters that were originally ordinary people like "farmers" would pick up hoes and attack their targets frantically.

The fighting style of those guardians of order was also very ordinary, most of them just charged.

Originally they could contend with the combined armies of other worlds, but now they can only fight on equal terms with ordinary civilians.

They don't emit light or anything like the storage points, and their abilities are obviously much weaker.

What exactly happened to these guardians of order... The storage point didn't know, it just watched these companions being eliminated one by one.

"Who...are you?"

At this time, Lin discovered that the storage point emitted light to the wall on the side, which instantly created a large number of holes in the wall that was displaying the picture.

At the same time, a voice sounded: "I am the consciousness of this device, the device itself."

This voice was the one that called Lin in here, and it had indeed said the same thing before.

The storage point looked unbelievable: "No, this device has no thoughts at all, never has..."

The storage point seemed to have no idea about it at all. Indeed, it had said before that this device did not have any thinking. Although it had some automatic response systems, it did not have thinking in the usual sense.

"Yes," it said, "because no one knows me... not you, or any other creature that has ever been here."

"But... there were many creatures who knew me..." As this 'device's consciousness' spoke... the mood at the storage point became more and more surprised.

Because it means...it is the Lord of Order.

To be precise, they are some remnants of the Lord of Order.

The Lord of Order... is the ultimate embodiment of order, it says.

It gathered countless deeds of order, and transformed a large amount of order in the void into real consciousness... thus giving birth to this kind of creature.

"You...can't be it, why would you be it!" The storage point showed a very shocked emotion, it could be said to be 'roaring'.

The voice in this room was saying something at a relatively slow pace.

It talked about its own birth, and creatures like the Guardians of Order... things in the past.

The Guardians of Order are just a group of... relatively ordinary creatures.

Similar to an ordinary individual biological civilization, this kind of civilization is actually rare in unpredictable places.

And they quickly became extraordinary.

Because civilizations in general are constantly changing, discarding old ideas and embracing new ones, they can continue to progress.

But they weren't like this before.

At a certain point in their development, their civilization came to a complete standstill.

Something happened in the past that caused the ancestors of the Guardians of Order to completely ban all new actions.

At that time, they believed that no changes or developments could be made, the entire civilization must remain in an unchanged state, and all individuals who did not like this state must be killed.

To put it simply, civilization has remained at one stage.

Nothing new was invented and no rules were changed, and the amazing thing is that this state continued for a long time.

They actually have a very "personal" reason for doing this, which is the pursuit of eternal life.

Most creatures in unpredictable places have a lifespan limit, but this lifespan limit can be set just like normal void creatures.

For example, cellular organisms need to modify nuclear information, but these organisms believe that it is fine as long as their thinking does not change.

They believe that if they no longer accept any new ideas and stick to the same rules, their lives will continue forever.

This is indeed true, because they are a species whose bodies become more "aged" the more new information they receive.

Therefore, their plans are unlikely to succeed.

Because no matter how much they remain unchanged, there are always many new things to see.

For example, when they see their neighbors every day, their neighbors will definitely not appear in exactly the same posture.

Even if they intentionally make identical movements, there will still be slight differences.

The same is true for everything around us. All the objects around us will always have subtle changes.

Then these creatures became more and more crazy, trying to keep everything around them exactly the same.

It feels like every day is a repeat of the previous day.

Although they don't have the concept of "day", they just try to live forever by living completely repetitive days.

Most of the creatures in the entire civilization did not succeed in the end.

But there was a small group of creatures that finally achieved this special life of 'completely repetitive days'.

This group of creatures also became the 'source' of the Lord of Order.

However, most of the creatures in the entire civilization did not maintain the same life in the end.

Instead, they began to have a new goal... that is, the worship of order.

When the 'consciousness of the simulation device' said this, Lin discovered that the storage point had entered a strange state.

It seemed to be starting to collapse. Lin found that it was showing signs of pain, curling up and twisting there.

Lin didn't know why it entered this state, and the consciousness of the simulation device continued to speak.

It stated that it had 'revived' itself within the device at some point.
