Chapter 509 The mastermind appears! An unexpected person!
The absolute nothingness created by the collapse of data is completely different from the black hole in astronomy.
But if you just look at the surface, they are actually very similar.
Both of them appear to be absolutely black, reflecting no light, and are extremely deep. Just staring at them can make one's heart palpitate, as if they are being sucked in and unable to escape forever.
This is not an illusion. This data collapse looks like the same black hole as the astronomical black hole, and also has a strong attraction.
The black hole was absorbing everything around it and was growing rapidly.
Black holes absorb matter by relying on their strong gravitational force.
However, the "data collapse" created by Su Yu relied on chaotic and disordered rules to form a chain reaction.
The data collapse is spreading rapidly in all directions like falling dominoes, dragging everything into collapse.
If Su Yu did not stop it, this collapse would be enough to destroy the entire dream world and the Blue Star!
Of course, this collapse definitely could not affect Su Yu. He stood in front of the black hole where the data collapsed, as still as a mountain, staring at the center of the black hole, waiting for the unknown existence behind the scenes to make a move.
He has just locked onto the person behind the scenes. With this data collapse, that person behind the scenes should take action.
Sure enough, after a moment, the rapidly spreading data collapsed and stopped.
The heart-pounding black hole actually began to shrink inward.
From Su Yu's data perspective, he saw that the underlying rules that had been adjusted by him into chaos and were beginning to collapse had actually restored order.
Time and space once again returned to stability.
Finally, when the black hole shrank to almost disappearance, a person walked out of it.
A... someone Su Yu knows, someone familiar!
Su Yu looked at the man and couldn't help but show surprise on his face. A lot of memories flashed through his consciousness in an instant.
He blurted out: "Qi Chen?!"
That’s right, the person who walked out of the black hole of data collapse was actually a member of the Supernatural Federation: Qi Chen!
The Extraordinary Federation is an extraordinary organization that Su Yu joined when he just entered the third level. All its members are third-level powerhouses.
[Navigator] Xiao Shengyin, [Spirit Speaker] Shao Lan, [Electromagnetic Vanguard] Zhao Shuangming, [Ice Agent] Tang Xiaomei, [Data Ghost] Xie Yitian, [Sister Guangyao] Jiang Qianzhu, [Galaxy Warrior] Tielong.
Among these people, Jiang Qianzhu and Zhao Shuangming have already died, and the others have long joined Su Yu's mechanical team and become Su Yu's subordinates.
Su Yu has a certain degree of understanding about them, more or less.
There is only one person that Su Yu seems to have ignored all along.
That’s Qi Chen!
This man looks like a child and is a mechanic by profession.
Su Yu remembered that he said in a childish voice:
"I am Qi Chen, a seven-star transcendent. I am not a city lord. And I don't know what my profession is. I am probably a mechanic... What I am good at is mechanical control."
Su Yu was confused at the time. He didn't know what his profession was, what did it mean? Then how could he hold the ceremony?
Maybe a mechanic? But he is only good at mechanical control, what about mechanical manufacturing? Wouldn't it?
Su Yu felt at the time that this third-level child must have a secret.
However, Su Yu quickly put this doubt behind him.
This Qi Chen, just like his body size, has no presence at all.
The various events that happened afterwards basically did not involve him.
He never took the initiative to communicate with Su Yu.
Su Yu almost forgot about him.
It was not until now, when this child suddenly appeared, that Su Yu remembered this person!
The moment Su Yu saw Qi Chen appear, he was suddenly shocked!
He understood that his previous neglect of Qi Chen was not normal!
With Su Yu's research spirit, how could he not study such a third-level strongman who looked like a child?
Is he really a child, or is it just an appearance? What is his occupation?
According to Su Yu's original personality, he would have looked through Qi Chen's past and future immediately after becoming a time mechanic to figure out his secret.
However, Su Yu had forgotten about him and didn't think about it at all, as if such a person had never appeared.
Even though Qi Chen lived in the Mechanical City for a long time, Su Yu never thought of him.
"Could it be that Qi Chen is the one behind all this time! He was the one who triggered the time reversal, copied me, and created the Evil God of Pain? He was the one who integrated the source of civilization and salvation and created Song Ming?"
Su Yu looked at Qi Chen, thinking rapidly in his mind, connecting all kinds of possibilities into lines in his mind.
At the same time, Su Yu's various senses also rushed towards Qi Chen, trying to observe his true strength.
But Qi Chen was like the black hole of data collapse rules, not revealing any information.
Whether it is the star tower scan or the real vision of the data, one can only see the surface of Qi Chen, but not his inner self.
"Yes, it's me."
At this moment, Qi Chen heard Su Yu calling his name and responded with a blank expression.
Su Yu looked at him and confirmed that all the sensing modes could not detect his true or false, so he also said: "Who are you?"
Qi Chen heard this and looked at Su Yu quietly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Guess?"
At this moment, Qi Chen was like a real naughty boy, wanting to play a guessing game with Su Yu.
However, Qi Chen's eyes were not like those of a child at all, but were extremely deep, without any emotion, simply to make Su Yu guess his identity.
"Guess?"
Su Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Chen. Billions of pieces of information quickly combined in his mind. After a moment, he said, "I guess you are... Zhang Chenfeng?"
Su Yu actually said such a familiar name.
Zhang Chenfeng, commander of the Giant God Army, supreme commander of Azure Star, former member of the Imperial Guards of Glory, fifth-rank warrior, and founder of the Second Azure Empire.
It was he who sealed the tyrannical evil god, and then issued the Supreme Command, allowing his mechanical creations to blockade the entire Blue Planet.
All the events that Su Yu has experienced so far are, more or less, related to Zhang Chenfeng.
Su Yu didn't believe that such a person was really dead.
So, when the mysterious strong man Qi Chen suddenly appeared, Su Yu directly guessed that he was Zhang Chenfeng!
After hearing Su Yu's answer, Qi Chen's eyes finally changed this time.
He looked at Su Yu with an expression of amazement, amazed at Su Yu's sharpness: "With its light and dust, that's right, I am Zhang Chenfeng."
He directly admitted his identity.
But then he added: "But I am not Zhang Chenfeng either, you should understand."
Su Yu frowned: "Just like the relationship between me and the Painful Evil God?"
Qi Chen nodded and said, "Yes, but there are differences."
Su Yu was silent, recalling the information he had obtained before.
Zhang Chenfeng fought a great battle with the Tyrannical Evil God in the past, and in the end he died, the Yao Ri Mecha was destroyed, and the Tyrannical Evil God was sealed.
Later, Su Yu fought against the Tyrannical Evil God and found that although Tyrannical was insidious, his fighting ability was not that strong at all. So how did Zhang Chenfeng die?
Later, Su Yu contacted the Emperor of Glory and learned about the "fate" that Zhang Chenfeng carried. Only then did he realize that Zhang Chenfeng also had a dark side similar to that of the Painful Evil God and was eroded by it.
In the death ten thousand years ago, Zhang Chenfeng should be considered to have died together with himself, and was not killed by the tyrannical evil god.
Now it seems that this mutual destruction was not complete.
"With its light, with its dust... So, you are now integrated?"
Su Yu asked.
Qi Chen nodded: "In the nothingness of death, we reached a consensus and no longer divided, but merged into one. I am Him and He is me. There is no difference anymore."
Su Yu became more alert after hearing this.
The Evil God of Pain is completely inhumane. Su Yu cannot predict what will happen if he merges with the Evil God of Pain.
Qi Chen is in a similar situation now. He looks like a human being, but in essence, he may have completely become an alien.
In addition, Su Yu has basically confirmed that the unknown existence hidden behind the scenes before is Qi Chen in front of him, who is a fusion of the two positive sides of Zhang Chenfeng.
The Evil God of Pain and Song Ming were both created by this person.
The mastermind, whom Su Yu had always been extremely vigilant about but could not find, suddenly appeared and had been by Su Yu's side all along.
The more I think about it, the more frightening it becomes.
At the same time, Su Yu also understood why, despite such a big incident, the mechanical creations left by Zhang Chenfeng in the planet's orbit were not moving at all.
It turned out that their "master" had returned, and they would naturally not disobey his master.
Su Yu even suspected that the reason why those mechanical creatures had shown preferential treatment to Su Yu and allowed his mechanical city to fly all over the sky was also because of Qi Chen?
Su Yu's thinking speed has reached its limit at this moment.
"What exactly do you want to do after you merge into one?"
Su Yu asked again.
Qi Chen said: "Of course I want to survive."
This answer surprised Su Yu very much.
He once again glanced up and down at Qi Chen, but could not see anything, so he could only ask: "Are you not considered alive now?"
Qi Chen: "Not really. Zhang Chenfeng was extremely determined back then. He couldn't die any more."
"This kind of death is extremely thorough. Even if you reverse time and space and go back to the past, you cannot revive me."
Hearing this, Su Yu thought of the [Destruction] that the Painful Evil God had obtained. Being killed by that ultimate power, even the power of time could not save him.
Could it be that Zhang Chenfeng also died in this way?
But, since he is already dead, how can he still come out to speak and make trouble?
Is this a real death or a fake one?
Even though Su Yu already possessed the fifth level of power, he could not understand Qi Chen's current state.
Su Yu suddenly remembered the answer he got when he asked about the career panel: death is just a state. Even if Su Yu died, the career panel would still be bound to him.
Thinking of this, Su Yu vaguely understood something.
Qi Chen is now in the death state described in the occupation panel.
Death is just a state, so even though Qi Chen is dead, he can still come out and cause trouble.
This is just Su Yu's analysis. Only Qi Chen himself knows the details.
Qi Chen obviously did not elaborate on the principle, but continued:
"So now, I am still in a state of death."
Then Qi Chen pointed to the "data black hole" behind him that had not yet healed and said, "Look, that's the world after death. I just came out from there."
Su Yu glanced at the black hole, wondering whether what he said was true or false.
The black hole formed after the data collapse, what is "inside" it, has exceeded Su Yu's cognition.
Theoretically, there is nothing "inside" the black hole; there is nothing there.
Is that really the world after death? Su Yu expressed doubt.
Qi Chen continued to talk to himself: "I am already dead. Although I can still use some power through some arrangements, it has its limits."
"I can't survive on my own, I need to be 'saved'."
Su Yu heard this and thought: "Song Ming?"
Qi Chen nodded: "Yes, Song Ming is my means of resurrection. He is the essence of salvation that I extracted from the civilization devoured by the Lord of Dreams and fused together."
"My idea is to train him into an ultimate savior, and then use his power of salvation to resurrect me."
"The power of salvation can save civilization, and naturally it can also save individuals."
Next, Qi Chen said something that shocked Su Yu: "Because of you, my plan has been successful!"
Su Yu was shocked when he heard this: "What?"
Qi Chen said: "You showed Song Ming the 'paradox', causing him to awaken a new power to save the world."
"This power is enough to accomplish the impossible, allowing me to reverse life and death and be resurrected."
Su Yu heard this and immediately asked, "You mean, I showed Song Ming the paradox and he successfully awakened. Can't you do this yourself? You don't have a paradox? Can't you show it to him?"
“How was the Painful Evil God born? Didn’t you create it using the paradox? Why did you create it?!”
The more Su Yu spoke, the more dangerous his tone became.
Qi Chen remained calm in the face of Su Yu's questioning: "The awakening of the power of salvation is not that simple. If I could awaken a new power of salvation just by giving Song Ming the corresponding stimulation, then I wouldn't need to go through so much trouble at all."
"He needs a civilization of sufficient size, an extinction crisis, and interactive communication with cultural individuals... Only in this way can his salvation nature be activated."
"So this matter can only be done by you. I can't do it."
What Qi Chen said was in Su Yu's blind spot. Su Yu didn't know whether it was true or not, so he could only listen and guess.
Seeing that Su Yu did not refute, Qi Chen continued: "Just now, I saw that the plan was successful, and Song Ming awakened the corresponding power of salvation, so I recovered Song Ming."
When Su Yu heard him use the word "recycling", his eyes turned slightly cold.
Qi Chen keenly noticed this change and said, "Don't get me wrong. Song Ming is not a human being at all, or even a life at all. Everything he shows is just a natural change of his savior essence due to external stimulation, not real intelligence."
"He is just a lifeless tool. There is no need to pay too much attention to him..."
"No more words!"
Su Yu looked at him coldly: "Whether Song Ming is a life or not, and whether he has intelligence or not, I will judge for myself."
"You haven't answered me yet. Why did you create the Painful Evil God?"
