The Legendary Mechanic

The talks between the two sides did not last long, and finally set a date nine years later to finalize the new fate of the Dark Side Universe without the entire interstellar community knowing.

Numerous interstellar citizens were still immersed in a peaceful and happy life, while out of their sight, the three civilizations and Han Xiao were silently preparing for the transformation of the Dark Side Universe into its true state, approaching the date of the official implementation of the plan day by day.

Nine years of time had passed quietly in the respite of the major forces that had ceased to exist, and interstellar society had changed, and a new generation of young people had grown up, but it seemed that nothing had changed, and the three major civilizations, the Super Sanctuary, and the Super Star Cluster Alliance were still entrenched on one side.

Today is the promised date, and the beginning of the fork in the road to the fate of the Dark Side Universe.

In the Central Star Ocean, the three civilizations had built a military zone specifically for this day.

Numerous information state reaction enhancement devices formed a dense and neat array in the starry sky, distributed layer by layer, presenting a sphere, and Han Xiao was located at the center of the array of auxiliary devices, floating alone in the cosmic space.

In the distance, the fleets of the three major civilizations surrounded layer after layer as guards to prevent any accidents from disturbing Han Xiao's transformation.

In the main ship, the remote projection of the three heads of state looked at Han Xiao out of the porthole, his face calm and extremely serious.

"Your Excellency Black Star, we are all ready, please ......"

Mablus paused, took a deep breath, and spoke in a deep voice over the comm channel.

"Let's get started."

"...... Good."

Han Xiao looked ancient and calm, gently responding with a complex color in his eyes.

Although he had rehearsed for today more than once in the past nine years, the moment it actually happened, he still couldn't help but feel emotionally charged.

The plan to transform the Dark Side Universe was still a high-level secret, and the three civilizations wanted to quietly solve this ultimate problem involving the truth of the universe while countless interstellar citizens were sleeping, preferably allowing the Dark Side Universe to reunite with the real universe without anyone noticing. Therefore, Han Xiao only told the relevant information to a few trustworthy people such as Amos, while the rest of the people continued to live their lives as usual on this day.

As Han Xiao's mind sank into his body, he saw his chest slowly glow, as if it had transformed into a white space channel, where space folded and contracted.

Soon, in a dazzling white light, the world tree rooted in the inner space appeared in the outside world, emitting a vibrant green light and spinning around.

Han Xiao lowered his head and looked at the miniature figure of the world tree, his mind already connected, ready to activate the information actualization function, but at that moment, he stopped, his eyes changing.

An anchor point of information flashed in his mind, as if brimming with the illusion of water waves before his eyes, as if he was reliving his own life of the past hundred years with the perspective of a third party.

The final image was fixed on countless familiar figures, including old acquaintances, deceased enemies, and current friends. ......

"I hope that everything that has happened here will anchor my existence and not let me forget ...... that I have been here before."

In the next moment, Han Xiao activated the information actualization function of the world tree without hesitation.

Buzz--.

As if the universe was in its infancy, Han Xiao's figure was instantly flooded with light, as if an endless stream of light had sprung out and filled everyone's sight.

In this instant, everyone in the entire interstellar society was inexplicably touched, unconsciously recalling the appearance of the Black Star.

......

Longtan Floating Island, the open-air top floor of the palace.

Emmers was standing on the balcony, looking up at the starry sky, her long, cascading hair and black dress fluttering in the wind, just like a leaping black flame.

"Mom, I was just thinking about Dad ......."

The sound of young milk sounded behind her, and a little girl in a tiny skirt bounced out of the room, stumbling and nearly falling on her way.

The little girl was about seven or eight years old, pink and sculpted, her face a little chubby, her eyes as black as jewels, lively and lively, looking very cute and festive, it was the only offspring that she and Han Xiao were currently breeding.

She leaned over and held her daughter in her arms, scratched her little nose, and laughed quietly: "I miss my daddy just as much as you do."

The little girl hugged Emmers's arms and stayed comfortably in her embrace, blinking her big, twinkling eyes and saying a little aggrieved.

"Daddy hasn't come to see me for a long time, where has he been?"

"He, ah, is doing a great work."

Emmers smiled shallowly.

"So when is Dad coming back?" The little girl stared, her curiosity overflowing.

"I don't know ......"

Ames shook her head, holding her daughter with one arm, pointing with the other to the deep starry sky, and smiled softly.

"But he will watch over you wherever you are, and when you grow up, he'll be back."

......

Real Universe, Solar System, back of Neptune.

A small exploration space station covered with a black-blue coating hovers silently in outer space, disguised as a meteorite, looking unassuming.

At this moment, in the observation room of the space station, several intelligent beings in heavy space suits are adjusting their instruments, their body structure is humanoid, but with spiky hard skin, short stature, the average is only about 1.3 meters.

Most of these instruments were remote observation instruments, and above them were densely packed screens that displayed a picture of an Earth city with a lot of traffic.

It was then that one of the hard-boiled men in the room turned on the video recorder, cleared his throat, and spoke in a unique language. Opening the mouth.

"27,081th star time newsletter recorded that the target's behavior on this day was business as usual, no abnormal behavior, we are still undetected, end of the day."

"Another boring day~"

A thin, hard-shelled man next to him interjects, stretching out in his seat with a crackling sound of hard shell and bone.

The person recording the recorded image, who appears to be the captain, responds gravely, without looking back.

"No anomaly is the best news, our job is to make sure that the observation target doesn't have a technological explosion before the follow up force arrives and develops an interstellar weapon strong enough to threaten us."

"Yes yes yes, I'm just complaining, I wish the next shift would hurry up, I'd rather freeze and hibernate than stare at this weak surface civilization every astronomical hour ...... Ugh, I'm so excited to go home."

The thin, hard-shelled man who had originally spoken was helpless.

This group of intelligent beings did not belong to this region, but were distant visitors from other galaxies, from the Capone civilization.

In search of an alien civilization, the Capone civilization had sent a team of explorers to the stars for a long drift in the universe, in exploration ships that always had their concealment camouflage on. All crew members are in cryo-sleep, and when traces of the civilization are found, the ship's intelligent system will automatically awaken the hibernating crew members.

The Caponeans are one of a team of interstellar explorers who came to the solar system many years ago and were awakened by the discovery of a probe launched into outer space by an Earth civilization. The team locked onto the Earth civilization through the ship's own detection equipment, and then chose a remote location to deploy the ship into a small space station to complete further camouflage, and then lurked.

This group of Capone explorers uphold the principle of non-interference, non-communication and non-exposure, silently squatting in the solar system, through the ship's configuration of interstellar observation equipment, the Earth into long-term monitoring, has not been discovered.

"Complain less and focus more on your mission." The Caponian explorer captain turned off the video recorder, paused abruptly, and said, "But the army is only five hundred and eighty stellar hours away, so we won't have to monitor it for much longer before we're liberated."

"That's right, I really want to finish the mission quickly, eat this nutritional cream every day, I really can't stand it, I really want to go back to eat some good ......" the skinny Capone team member spoke with longing.

This explorer team had already sent the news of the existence of Earth's civilization back to the home planet, the Capone civilization's large fleet has set off from home, but they did not develop the height of the Stargate technology, the army has been traveling in the universe at near light speed for a long time, and now the distance is not far.

Many explorers present in the solar system lurking for many years, just outposts, although the technology is a lot ahead, but still do not dare to contact with the Earth civilization rashly, their task is to monitor and observe the Earth civilization around the clock, and to guide the follow-up troops ...... Only the arrival of the army to have sufficient bottom, whether it is invasion and colonization or to destroy it, are more than capable, and then consider how to arrange the surface civilization.

The Caponian explorer captain was about to say something, but at that moment, the space station's monitoring radar suddenly sounded an urgent beep.

"Beep beep beep -"

The crowd was stunned and rushed to the screen, only to see the readings on it suddenly all messed up.

"What's going on?"

The group of Caponean explorers hurriedly adjusted the instruments, but there was no malfunction, and the parameters detected in the outside world became more and more abnormal, especially the spatial curvature and other coefficients, which shifted alarmingly.

At the same time, with the Earth civilization as the center point, a large number of spatial folds appeared, the scope of which was spreading outward at an extremely alarming rate.

"What is this phenomenon? There are no similar event models in the database!"

The crowd stared, shocked.

At this moment, an invisible energy wave suddenly erupted, spreading rapidly toward the universe, instantly sweeping past the major planets, as well as the space station they were in, and the energy readings instantly broke through the radar's power limit, burning out the radar device all at once.

The people were shocked and hurriedly stroked their bodies, but did not suffer any damage to themselves from this energy.

"This level of energy surge is unprecedented, what the heck is going on ......"

Just as the group was amazed, the spatial folds had spread to the vicinity of the space station, and they noticed through the portholes that all the cosmic space within sight had ripples of distorted folds.

From their point of view, it looked as if the entire universe had become a churning quagmire, with a swirling torrent of starlight and dark matter.

In the heavy folds, they seemed to see strange illusions, in which countless civilizations and planets they had never seen before were floating and looming.

In a trance, they suddenly had an intuition.

--It seemed that this universe was about to become different.

......

"Attention all! There are still five minutes before the new version will be online, today all overtime, everyone must log in at the first time, I have to check the guard, hear me."

Zhu Xiaohua commanded loudly, saw the dozens of employees in the studio have responded, he nodded in satisfaction, turned into his private office, closed the door, looking at the center of the room placed in the new "Star Ocean" game module, rubbing his hands excitedly.

Ever since the video series of Black Star Legion made with the ID of "meat bag hit dog" was on fire, Zhu Xiaohua's career has been on track, renting a floor as a studio, expanding his business, making a brand, and earning a lot of money.

Two days ago "Star Ocean" entered the version update, and today is the completion of the update day, version 6.0 will be officially launched, he attaches great importance to it, and early ready to log on at the first time.

The thought that the new version will unlock higher levels made Zhu Xiaohua's heart itch.

Although the plot of "Star Ocean" seems to have gone peaceful and it's hard to find an explosive point, he believes that players will be the protagonists of the stage after "Star Ocean", and now that the level has been unlocked to the natural disaster level, as the level continues to rise, players who are afraid that the world will not be able to restrain themselves, will definitely impact the game's pattern of chaos, thus spontaneously leading to countless conflicts, interesting and exciting stories, so that there will be no shortage of material to make videos ......

Zhu Xiaohua already has an idea, and plans to adjust the focus of the video, instead of focusing on the Black Star Army, to chase the experience of players and NPC forces in various collisions, and make a variety of series and interviews.

Just thinking about the inexhaustible material he has and the possibility of selling it, he was so excited that his bladder tightened.

"I'm going to do it again this time!"

Zhu Xiaohua was in an excited mood, skillfully laying into the game capsule, the hatch closed, the built-in screen showing the countdown to the end of the update, he stared at the time passing second by second, only too slow, can't help but shake his legs.

"Last few seconds left ...... five, four, three, two, one! OK!"

The countdown on the built-in screen goes down to the last second, becomes a loginable interface, and finally becomes the desired version 6.0.

Zhu Xiaohua was delighted, and couldn't wait to start the game module, quickly closed his eyes, and prepared to enter the game.

However, after closing his eyes and waiting for more than a minute, he didn't enter the Star Ocean as before.

"Strange, why can't I log in, is it because the game module is malfunctioning? No way, this is a new one from two days ago ......"

Zhu Xiaohua, confused, opened the game capsule and climbed out again, squatting down to see if there was a problem by uncovering the capsule.

But at that moment, the door suddenly knocked, and several employees walked in, with helpless expressions.

"Boss, there's a problem, we can't log in at all."

"Huh? Turns out I'm not the only one, so it doesn't look like it's the game pods, have you read the website?"

"Look, it seems that everyone can't log in."

At the news, Zhu Xiaohua was stunned, stepped forward to the computer, opened the "Star Ocean" official website, entered the web forum, found a large number of players posting, all unable to log in.

"That seems to be the new version of some kind of bug, maybe the photobrain itself out of the malfunction ...... But it is also strange, everyone can not log in, such a big thing, the official will send a statement notice to explain it, why no movement."

Zhu Xiaohua flipped through the post, somewhat puzzled.

"Why don't you ask?" One employee suggested.

"Well, that's fine, I'll ask the official people."

Zhu Xiaohua nodded.

He was invited to attend a few professional leagues as a guest, but he had an internal channel to contact the official staff, so he could ask about the situation.

He picked up his phone from the table, Zhu Xiaohua opened his social networking software, found the official person he knew, and was about to send a message to ask about it.

But at this moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside the office, mixed with a loud scream.

"What's going on outside, why is it so noisy?"

Zhu Xiaohua frowned, paused to edit the message, strode out of the office, and immediately saw all the employees all leaning in front of the window, tilting their heads, seemingly reading something.

"What are you guys looking at, why don't you go back to your posts ...... huh?"

Zhu Xiaohua was a little dissatisfied, took a big step over, also leaned in front of the window, subconsciously looked out, and suddenly stopped.

I saw that all the pedestrians on the road outside the window had stopped and stopped to look at the sky, while the balconies and windows on every floor of the surrounding buildings all had people popping their heads up and looking up at the sky in the same upturned pose, each with a horrified and shocked expression on their faces.

Seeing this bizarre scene, Zhu Xiaohua felt a tightening of the heart, and slowly raised his head to look at the sky.

The sky was like a whirlpool, completely distorted, as if someone was stirring the firmament.

"This, this is ......"

Zhu Xiaohua stared blankly at the scene, not even realizing that his mouth was wide open.

Just as everyone was stunned, the sky suddenly rippled with space, and a star fleet appeared in the sky as if it was already there, instantly attracting the attention of everyone on the ground.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

Before everyone could react, in the next moment, an even more familiar figure suddenly appeared in the air, as if waking up from a deep sleep, and slowly opened his eyes.

The figure's expression changed from bewilderment at first, to surprise, and finally to nostalgia, and his lips moved slightly.

"Old Home, I'm Back ......"

Although far away, somehow the voice seemed to ignore the distance and rang out in the hearts of all who watched him.

In this instant, like all the employees around him, Zhu Xiaohua's body was like an ice cellar, his face full of confusion, and his brain was blank.

At this moment, the shadow in the sky seemed to have sensed the breath of an acquaintance, and looked down, across the distant night sky, and gave a playful smile to Zhu Xiaohua.

Zhu Xiaohua instantly woke up like a dream, a stirring, incredibly large steps back, tripped over the table and chair, and plopped down on the floor.

His eyes were almost staring out of their sockets, and all that was left on his face was intense incredulity, his lips trembling, and his voice rising in unconscious tones, he lost his voice.

"Black Black Black Black ...... Black Star?!"

......

On this day, the world witnessed a dramatic change.

Countless shadows that should have been lost to history resurfaced.

Some called it an "invasion of the whole world," some called it an "inflection point.

Some think it's the beginning of the end, others think it's the beginning of the end.

Some see it as the beginning of the end, some see it as the end of life.

But whatever the opinion, what happened on this day has been remembered by millions of people, and a new era has begun.
