"At that time, human beings will no longer be happy because of individual profits, because there is no difference in feeling between their own profits and others' profits."

"I will not be sad because my personal interests are damaged, and I will not even fear death, because there is no difference in feeling between my own survival and the survival of others."

The universe is still flowing through the wide porthole. On the bridge of the starship, Bishop Lauren smiled at Jiang Jianming.

"There is only peace." He said intoxicatedly, "That will be an eternal paradise."

Jiang Jianming suddenly lowered his head and sneered, then shook his head.

"No more joy or sorrow, no more will of each?"

His eyes sharpened, "Your Excellency Lauren, were the people you 'redeemed' at that time still real human compatriots?"

"You want to ask real humans?"

Lauren raised her eyebrows and patted Jiang Jianming's shoulder, "His Royal Highness, Colonel Jiang, I have to tell you with regret."

"Humans—truly human beings—have long been extinct."

"As early as five hundred years ago, when the first black wave radiation erupted, everything was doomed."

Jiang Jianming's pupils shrank slightly, but before he could react, a voice came from behind him.

"confusion."

In the empty and wide bridge, this sound suddenly sounded, and the effect was similar to that of a ghost.Jiang Jianming turned his head abruptly, almost subconsciously touching the gun, but only after moving his fingers did he realize that he didn't have any weapons with him.

But he also saw clearly the owner of the voice——

A handsome man stood there, his age could not be discerned just by his appearance, he was wearing a long white cloth shirt, he was walking on the ground barefoot, and he couldn't see any other accessories on his body... He seemed to have walked out of an ancient mural, In this era, no normal person would dress like this.

And he has an indescribably contradictory temperament. At first glance, this person seems to be the incarnation of the word gentle in the world, and every inch of his facial features is filled with peace and tolerance.

But after looking at it for a long time, get a little hairy. It is a kind of indifferent peace, without emotion tolerance, and there is no emotion in the eyes, even if the man is smiling at the moment.

Lauren leaned over: "Your Excellency the Archbishop."

Jiang Jianming's back felt cold all of a sudden.

He thought to himself: Where did this person come from?

I entered the enemy ship alone, no matter how calm it seemed on the surface, in fact, all five senses were tense.But the white-clothed man in front of him seemed to appear here out of thin air, and he didn't even feel any footsteps or breath...!

The sense of inhumanity in the other party was too strong. If Jiang Jianming had heard Lauren say that "the archbishop was inspired by crystal particles" before he was half-believing, at this moment he was already 80% convinced.

At least, this man in white is definitely not a human being in the normal sense.

"Chaos, you have worked hard these days."

The man in white came over. He brushed Lauren's forehead with his fingertips first, then turned to Jiang Jianming, "As for you, Colonel Jiang... I think I should come and see you in person."

With a gentle expression, he tapped his chest with his fingers: "I am the Archbishop of Crystal Cult, Gaius. There is no distinction between first and last names, just Gaius."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes and said formally: "Imperial military, Jiang Jianming."

After he finished speaking, he calmly stopped moving, and Archbishop Gaius came to him with a smile, stretching out his hands around his neck.

There is no doubt that this is an action that can completely choke a life. Jiang Jianming just stood there without changing his expression until Gaius touched the back of his neck with his hands and then moved away... There was a miniaturelistener.

The face of Lauren next to him sank. He guessed that Jiang Jianming would bring monitors, but he didn't expect this person to bring two pairs...!

And this thing, don't know what new technology is used, and the various scanning levels inside their starship have not detected it.

But then, the monitor did not know what kind of signal it got. After two flashes, it suddenly exploded very small, and it broke down with black smoke.

"..."

Gaius glanced at the monitor in his hand, then looked at Jiang Jianming, and there was no anger on his face: "The monitor self-destructs... Is this the strategy you came up with? If so, you are indeed a wise man."

Jiang Jianming looked calm and remained silent.

Before he left, he set up a small program on the monitor. Once the monitor was discovered, the program started there would immediately self-destruct.

The reason is very simple.

If you don't communicate, you won't be threatened.

Under what circumstances would the kidnappers kill the hostages?When asking relatives of the hostages for conditions and the conditions are rejected.

But if the kidnappers had no way of contacting the family members of the hostages, or even the opportunity to ask for conditions, then mutilating the hostages would become a meaningless act, and the threat itself would no longer exist.

——Of course, the above are the words he used when trying to convince His Royal Highness Lai An.

What Jiang Jianming really thought was that even if you really tortured me for fun, as long as the imperial side couldn't see it and His Highness couldn't see it, then it wouldn't be a big problem.

Gaius casually threw the scrapped monitor into the garbage collection bin beside him.

The white-shirted archbishop turned his head: "I heard you just talking about the story of the extinction of the old humans."

"There is an old saying that goes, 'If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening'. Colonel Jiang should be a person who is willing to pursue wisdom and truth."

Gaius smiled and said, "You should tell him more about crystal particles and the ultimate chaos we hope for."

Lauren raised his head when he heard the words, his expression was a little surprised, but he was still submissive: "Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

Under the gaze of Gaius, Lauren led Jiang Jianming to the large computer next to him, called up the virtual screen, and opened windows full of research data.

Most of the time records are eighty or ninety years ago, which is the period of the old empire, and the content is all about the research and discussion of crystal particles.

Jiang Jianming looked down in turn.

Lauren spoke slowly beside him.

The content of the talk is history, from the very beginning of everything.

The time goes back to the end of the old blue mother star era, 2121 AD.

The black wave radiation erupted from somewhere in the distant universe, bringing a kind of matter that human beings have never touched. Later, they were called crystal particles.

In the nearly 500 years since then, the human scientific community has recognized that species that are perfectly fused with crystal particles are new crystal seeds that have successfully evolved; species that fail to perfectly integrate are residual crystal seeds with incomplete genes.

"But it's actually wrong."

Lauren turned his attention to the universe outside the starship, and he continued gently: "The crystal particle is a form of life that is much beyond our cognition."

"First of all, we all know that the instinct of life is to reproduce, but crystal particles themselves do not have the ability to reproduce."

"Its reproduction is completely dependent on implantation, or in other words, parasitizing other life forms. The wording is not important. You just need to understand the meaning."

"The crystal particles gather in the crystal nest, and spread with the burst of black wave radiation, looking for a host in the vast universe."

"Once successfully implanted, it will induce changes in the genes of the living body. The so-called new crystal species are fully implanted species; the so-called remnant crystal species are incompletely implanted, but are already in a semi-implanted stateSpecies. The implanted host race will complete the reproduction of the crystal particles."

"...Wait." Jiang Jianming suddenly closed his eyes and pressed his forehead, his temples throbbed, "The host has completed the reproduction of the crystal particles?"

Lauren: "Yes, when we humans give birth to offspring, the part of the crystal particles contained in the newborn baby is the offspring that the crystal particles use us to reproduce for ourselves."

"This parasitic state will last for a period until the crystal particles that have completed a new round of group expansion are called by the crystal nest, return to their hometown, gather stronger power, and then burst out a new wave of black wave radiation."

"—and crystal chaos is the process of the crystal particles parasitic in the human body, actively stripped from the host's body, and called back to the crystal nest. Of course, the host can't bear this kind of stripping, and the death of the body is inevitable.”

Lauren stretched out his hands suddenly, and the light above his head illuminated the condensed crystals on his wrists: "The last, the moment when all the crystal particles complete their return is also the time when the physical bodies of all human beings die. We call this the……ultimate."

Jiang Jianming's face was pale, his heart was beating violently, and waves of chills spread all over his body.

With a light swipe of the finger, the windows under the palm slide in turn.

——The black wave radiation came, and the crystal particles covered the blue mother star for thirty-three years. It was called "thirty-three black nights" in history, and ninety percent of the original human beings died.

In the face of the large-scale attack of crystal particles, human beings retreated steadily and were completely defeated.

——The era of natural selection, the era of great differentiation is coming.The old humans were completely extinct, leaving only new humans and disabled humans struggling on this ravaged planet.

——After the melee at the base, the old empire was established.Crystal Chaos begins to erupt, and scientists discover this desperate reality for the first time.

The great tyrant Odin set up a research base and tried to strip the crystal particles from the human body, but all the experiments ended in failure.

"So," Jiang Jianming's Adam's apple moved, and he said hoarsely, "Is this a war of racial aggression in the universe?"

Archbishop Gaius looked at him with a peaceful expression: "Yes."

"..." Jiang Jianming closed his eyes and let his palm slide off the screen.

At this moment, it was as if every cell in his body had grown eyeballs, staring at him quietly, or whispering to each other, making ridicule.

The crystal particles are there, lodged in every place of his bones, blood, five organs.Today's human society is inseparable from crystal particles, and they have been with him since he was born as an embryo, and they must be with him until his death.

Thoughts seemed to become a piece of glass that suddenly shattered.Among the countless fragments, three years ago, the underage Crown Prince Lai An was looking at him with pained eyes, and there was a space-time like quicksand between them.

The young prince opened his lips, and said in a melodious voice:

"Ginger, I love you."

"But there are more important things here than loving you."

Then he turned around, the platinum lustrous flowing curly hair was blown by the wind, and the overwhelming starlight covered the leaving figure.

After the starlight dissipated, what was left was large swathes of blood in the L-Crown of Dawn.

Jiang Jianming slowly opened his eyes, which were frighteningly black.

"What is your Crystal Cult's request?"

Gaius smiled, but there was no emotion in his eyes: "Completely eradicate the inferior race of human beings, eliminate all pain and sorrow, and welcome... the ultimate arrival."

The golden sun wheel starship fleet stationed in the imperial space station, the flagship Athena.

When Lai An stepped off the mecha, his face was so ugly that the soldiers who came to meet him froze in fright and dared not move.

Jiang Jianming's monitor was discovered, and the archbishop of Crystal Cult was beside him...

What is the truth about crystal particles, ten thousand and ten thousand sentences will not be able to compare with the anxiety that this fact has brought to the crown prince.

Looking back now, Lai An feels ridiculous again: Was he crazy before letting Jiang Jianming go deep into the enemy starship alone?

Although Jiang Jianming told him with confidence that he would be fine, what if something went wrong... what if!?

Lai An quickened his pace, he gritted his teeth sullenly, raised his hand and poked his wrist phone, and called that brain with a complicated expression: "Dog."

The wrist phone was left by Jiang Jianming, and Seth Henry really let out a "woof".

"What cards does your master have?"

"You don't know? Didn't you follow him all the time?"

"...It's useless." Lai An was cold and speechless, and suppressed Zhinao's voice.

With Jiang Jianming not around, he was reduced to talking to a dog... It's not a real dog, it's a fake dog.

This is definitely the last indulgence, His Highness thought to himself.As long as Jiang Jianming can come back alive this time, he really has to consider locking him in a box.

Then, the next thing he has to do is...

Win this one.

When they came to the command room of the starship, the senior generals of Jin Rilun headed by Celine were already waiting.Of course, more than 90% of them are in the form of projection.

The automatic door opened, and the crown prince's face sank like water. He walked all the way to the circular virtual screen. As usual, he quickly scanned the star map and went through the formation layout of the enemy and us.

"Your Highness, the longer the enemy stays in the empire, the higher-dimensional blockade cannot be closed, and the greater the probability of being invaded by alien creatures."

Celine took two steps forward, bowed her head and said, "We must make a quick decision and expel the thieves as soon as possible."

Several generals also agreed one after another, with worried and anxious expressions on their faces.

Lai An gave an "um" and motioned for Celine to continue.

"Press the officer's mind."

Celine said with an emphasis, "Now that the high-dimensional blockade is invalid, the enemy can jump, but thinking about it the other way around, we can too."

"Please order from the military headquarters that the three fortresses of the Silver Beidou rush to help the Imperial Space Station immediately. The Silver Beidou has been fighting against alien creatures all year round, and its combat experience is not the same as that of the Golden Rilun. With their strength, they will surely be able to fight in the fastest time."Drive out enemies from within!"

"..."

Lai An stared at the fleet distribution on the star map, and said without looking back: "Admiral Celine, do you think you are smart?"

Celine's expression changed.

The crown prince lightly patted the console: "The lava space bandits are still eyeing the distant interstellar. A large number of Yin Beidou troops have jumped back to the empire. Will they watch?"

"Three military forts, don't you want them? From the front line of the fortresses to the territory of Yu Region in the empire, don't you want them?"
