Infinite Metaverse

In front of Fu Qinghai, Optimus Prime solemnly took the leadership module and placed it in his palm. The touch changed something in his heart, as if he finally felt his own existence at that moment and understood the things in his body. All of his power, and the responsibility he felt towards all Cybertronians. At this time, no one except Optimus Prime himself noticed, and a voice sounded in his mind out of thin air.

"Optimus Prime..."

The voice sighed and said:

"You fought valiantly, but you came too late."

"No."

Optimus Prime said anxiously:

"There must be room for redemption."

"Maybe there will be, maybe not. But when you come here, you can at least get this thing."

The voice continued:

"You have been granted the title of leader, Optimus Prime, by the Supreme Council, but they have no right to grant the title. Master Titanium also wants you to be the leader, but even an ancient and respected man like him cannot decide who will be the successor. A leader, let alone deciding a successor while Yu Tiandi is still alive. Although Yu Tiandi has been out of office for a long time, he is still a leader. You cannot be considered a leader until he entrusts you with the title of leader. Now you may accept this It’s a thing, and a long time ago, the natural enemies didn’t deserve to have it.”

"The leadership module, this is the gem inlaid on Yuan Tianzun's star sword. It is the symbol and talisman of all the leaders in the history of Cybertron. Take it, Optimus Prime. Don't live up to it, don't live up to the name of leader. Number."

"You put the leadership module into your body. Let it guide you, just like it guided other previous leaders. Let it protect you, just like it protected Yuan Tianzun until the last moment. It will lead you on the right path at all times. When you hesitate, ask it to guide you. This force is with you physically and mentally, and let it light up your heart so that you can light the way for those Transformers who follow you."

"I won't live up to it."

Optimus Prime said solemnly.

Optimus Prime placed the leadership module on his chest. A mechanical transformation opened a hole in his chest and wrapped the leadership module. Then the light ball quickly disappeared into his chest. Optimus Prime felt that his whole body was full of power for a moment. This feeling is not invincible, but firm and calm. This kind of power is powerful but never superior to others.

The leadership module is absorbed into every optical fiber in Optimus Prime's body, giving him the same brilliance as all leaders in history, even going back to the Prime Minister. He has fully understood his responsibility and the pain it brings. He understands very well that the core is not just a casual talk, he must be responsible for the entire history of Cybertron.

"Now that you are a true leader, Optimus Prime, you must lead the Autobots on a dangerous journey that affects everyone on Cybertron."

Optimus Prime vaguely heard Jazz and others seeming to be talking to him, but this voice was more important. He ignored the outside world and focused on listening to this voice.

"The core of Cybertron has been severely damaged, and it will take many orbital cycles to repair itself and regenerate the super-energy body for use by Transformers. The surface crust and overall structure of Cybertron will also need to be repaired for a similarly long time before it can be supported again. Those cities and factories.”

"So you have to leave, Optimus Prime, you have to lead the Autobots into space. Use the space bridge if you can, and if not... you have to leave by any means possible. Build a ship and take all the Autobots with you. If If you don't leave, you will die, and the resistance movement will die with it. In the end, there will only be a small number of Decepticons left on this planet, lingering in the long years and large areas of ruins. Until the core completes its self-repair, Cybertron Until you regain your energy.”

"No matter where you go, you must come back eventually. When the planet recovers, you must come back with the leadership module. You will know when to return, and at that time you can lead Cybertron to regain its former glory. …But now the core has been severely damaged, and the entire planet is severely infected by the remnants of the dark super-energy body. Those contaminations are caused by the essence of the Unicron."

"One day, the core of the planet and the leadership module will work together through you, Optimus Prime, and then rebuild Cybertron. And not just rebuild, you will lead Cybertron into a new era. Remember, this It is your destiny. You are the reincarnation of the thirteenth ancestor, and only you can take on this mission and achieve this goal. The leadership module is waiting for you, this power is stored in your body, and one day it will shine and lead We leave behind the darkest of times.”

"But that day has not come yet. That day is still in the distant future. Now, you have to go."

…

Return to the surface of the channel.

Not only Fu Qinghai, but everyone noticed that Optimus Prime suddenly became taciturn, silently moving forward silently, as if he was thinking about something.

Fu Qinghai has been quietly observing Optimus Prime, wanting to see what changes he has had after obtaining the leadership module. After a careful look, I can say that Brother Zhuzi has a different temperament on his body, but I can't tell what kind of temperament it is. In short, it has changed.

Fu Qinghai did not regret giving the leadership module to Optimus Prime, because when he saw the light ball automatically integrating into Optimus Prime's body, he realized that he was not a Transformer and did not have this function. Even if he got the leadership module, it would not be possible. Call to all Cybertronians. Moreover, the leadership module only represents a righteous status, just like the jade seal passed down from ancient times. If you really want to rule Cybertron, strength is probably the king.

Friends such as Jazz and Iron Cop also noticed that Optimus Prime had a deep temperament, so they did not dare to interrupt his thinking, and everyone moved forward in silence.

"Everyone, I have something to announce."

Optimus Prime suddenly spoke.

The Autobots all stopped.

Optimus Prime took a deep breath. He knew very well that what he said next would determine the life and death of many people, much more than he imagined.

"Cybertron is sick, and we must leave and come back when it recovers - this is what the core asked me to do, lead the Autobots away from Cybertron until..."

Optimus Prime stopped here.

In fact, he didn't know how long they would be gone, what situations they would encounter in space, or even whether they would come back alive.

"But we have nowhere to go."

Tianhuo first retorted:

"Are you just escaping like this? Escape into space and expect energy crystals to exist somewhere in the universe? This is a dead end!"

"That's what the core of the planet told me."

Optimus Prime said slowly.

Build a boat…

Kernel's words echoed in his mind.

"Generation One Plan."

Optimus blurted out suddenly.

"what is that?"

Fu Qinghai said doubtfully.

Optimus Prime shook his head and did not explain any more.

…

When they arrived at Iron Castle.

Optimus Prime said with great certainty:

"Leaving is the only way."

However, not all Autobots agreed with his idea. Master Titanium strongly agreed with the plan proposed by Optimus Prime, as if he had expected that he would propose it. However, Jetfire strongly advocated staying on Cybertron and finding a way out. He said to the Autobots gathered in the reading room of the Record Hall:

"If we are destined to die, at least let us die on our own planet and fight until the last moment. Don't hide in space, don't waste time that we don't even know how long it will take to build a giant spaceship, we should fight to the end! Once we go to space, we can never come back. This is surrender and escape. I will never leave!"

"You don't understand, Skyfire."

Master Titanium sighed:

"The planet's core, before it heals, Cybertron cannot support most of the life on the planet. Autobots, Decepticons, non-aligned elements... everyone will die if they don't leave. For us , the choice faced is: those left behind will either die from lack of energy or at the hands of the Decepticons, or succumb to the dark super energy body and survive while it still has a supply, until it is also exhausted."

"Death, death, death, still death."

Jazz said helplessly:

"If it were me, I'd rather take the spaceship first and then die. Let's build an ark."

"Skyfire."

Optimus Prime said suddenly.

"leader."

replied the former seeker.

"It will take us a while to complete the Generation One project. The only way to complete this project is to build a huge flying vehicle that has never been seen before. I need you to make a list of all the space equipment that can be found currently. Find out the existing flying tools Can all the Autobots be sent out of Cybertron, and if not, how many can be sent away specifically."

Optimus Prime said sincerely.

“If you can’t send everyone away, how do you decide who stays and who goes?”

Prowl asked.

Optimus Prime shook his head.

"I don't know." He said, "But that's not important. What's important is whether Megatron and his Decepticons can give us enough time to complete this ark."

"And this is what I want to say, we will all die for this ark!" Prowl warned, "You are wasting time and super energy bodies to build a spaceship, while Megatron is busy gathering an army to come from the east to destroy Iron Fort.”

"It's my decision."

Optimus Prime said calmly:

"I have decided. Even if you don't agree with me, you should know whether there are other options."

The Autobots were silent.

"But not before that."

Optimus Prime turned to look at Fu Qinghai:

"We still have things to deal with."

Fu Qinghai looked at Optimus Prime in confusion.

I thought, what does this have to do with me?

…

Iron Castle, on the top floor of the data recording hall.

There were only two people, Fu Qinghai and Optimus Prime.

"Qingshan, the Generation One plan is about to be implemented, and we still have to solve a crucial matter - the Well of Fire! I can't let this facility related to Cybertron's newborns fall into the hands of Megatron. Let alone let it be contaminated by dark super energy bodies... So, I have an idea."

Optimus Prime said.

"what idea?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

"We launch the well of fire source!"

Optimus Prime said loudly.

"Launch out?"

Fu Qinghai said in surprise:

"Can this thing still fire?"

Isn't the Well of Fire a building?

There is actually such a function as interstellar navigation?

"I didn't know either at first."

Optimus Prime explained:

"After I obtained the leadership module, I learned about these secrets, which also included a lot of knowledge and information about Cybertron. They automatically appeared in my mind, guiding me and telling me what I should do."

"oh……"

Fu Qinghai nodded clearly.

Then he suddenly realized that Optimus Prime did not tell the other Autobots about these contents. What changes the leadership module had brought to him, even close friends like Jazz, he did not tell, but he only told himself. .

"So, what does this have to do with me?"

Fu Qinghai asked bluntly.

He didn't need to be tactful when talking to Optimus Prime.

"I want you to escort the Well of Fire."

Optimus Prime spoke his mind.

"Shall I escort you?"

Fu Qinghai was surprised at first.

Then he immediately reacted:

"Maybe you want to..."

"That's right."

Optimus Prime nodded.

They both thought of the same place.

"This war is destined to be unwinnable."

Optimus Prime sighed.

"This is a war on Cybertron. It had nothing to do with you originally, but because of my relationship, you were involved. I have always felt sorry, Qingshan. But at the same time, I am very grateful for your help to me. You are mine. Teacher, Qingshan, you taught me how to fight, you taught me how to command, you helped the Autobots win many battles... From Blade City to Qingqiu City, from Central Iron Castle to Hydra Island, From the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station to the core of the underground planet... without you, we would not be able to successfully overcome these difficulties."

Optimus Prime looked at Fu Qinghai and said sincerely:

"I will never forget your friendship in my life, and we will never be able to repay your kindness to the Autobots. The Generation One plan has a narrow escape, and we may all die on Cybertron. It is right for the Cybertronians to sacrifice for their ideals - —But this is not your ideal, and this is not your war, Qingshan. You have done enough for Cybertron and the Autobots! You should not die here, in a foreign country."

Optimus Prime held Fu Qinghai's shoulders with both hands:

"So, escorting the Well of Fire is both a mission and a request, Qingshan. Leave, leave here, leave Cybertron. I will set the launch target and let you return to your homeland. I trust you unconditionally , so I hand this thing into your hands. When you get there, please keep the last hope of the Cybertronians for me and don't let it fall into the hands of the enemy. Qingshan, this is my last wish for you. A request, not as a leader, but from your friend, Orion Pax."

Optimus Prime said it all.

Every sentence comes from the heart.

It can't be said to be sincere.

"I see."

Fu Qinghai nodded slowly.

After all the talk, how could he still refuse?

The Well of Fire is where all new Cybertronians are born. If there is anything wrong with this thing, the Cybertronians may be directly extinct. With such a heavy responsibility being placed in his hands, it is evident how much Optimus Prime trusts Fu Qinghai, and it almost feels like "leaving him alone on his deathbed".

Optimus Prime is the leader of Cybertron.

Then Fu Qinghai is not only Cybertron's Imperial Master, but also Cybertron's Tuogu Minister.

Hiss...this identity is a bit complicated.

"I promise you, Orion Pax."

Fu Qinghai looked at Optimus Prime and said seriously.

"Thank you, Qingshan."

Optimus smiled broadly.

He had hardly smiled since the beginning of the war, since he had determined to launch a revolution, and he had never smiled so happily. Fu Qinghai was able to escape Cybertron, a place destined to perish, and he was sincerely happy for his friend.

…

The next day, Iron Castle, data recording hall.

Optimus Prime announced his decision:

A well that emits fire.

I would rather let it disappear into the vast sea of ​​stars.

And never let the Decepticons get it.

Fu Qinghai knew very well that the major plot event of this reincarnation world, the Cybertron Civil War, was about to enter the final stage of the battle. There was no way the Decepticons could just sit back and watch the Autobots build a spaceship and leave the planet safely. Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and the Decepticons, they will eventually have a big battle, the Decepticons' final blow, and the Autobots' desperate fight.

But he was destined to miss this battle.

Because he has a more important task——

Escort the Well of Fire.

Once you leave Cybertron.

All subsequent plots have nothing to do with him.

Unlike the "Generation One" plan, there was no discussion or coordination this time. Optimus Prime acted arbitrarily and directly executed the decision. The Well of Fire was quickly launched and disappeared into the vast space. middle.

A total of two people participated in this escort mission.

One is Fu Qinghai.

The Autobots had no objections to Optimus Prime's arrangement of Fu Qinghai as an escort. Qingshan had already proven his ability and wisdom. The Autobots were relatively relieved that he would escort the Well of Fire.

But there was another escort option.

He is a young guy through and through.

Optimus Prime fought against all odds to let him participate in the mission.

Many car people still criticize this.

The Well of Fire had fallen into a state of stagnation and dormancy as early as the beginning of the Civil War, and no more new Cybertronians were born. Some people say that this is because the Cybertronian civil war angered the core of the planet. Yuanshi Tianzun used this to express his dissatisfaction and disappointment, so no new Cybertronians were born. Others say that this is because of dark super energy. caused by body contamination. Anyway, everyone has different opinions.

But just after Optimus Prime obtained the leadership module, a group of new Cybertronians were born again in the Well of Fire. These Cybertronians were immediately faced with a civil war as soon as they were born, and were forced to choose sides. A very small number of them chose to join the Decepticons, and the vast majority chose to join the Autobots.

Among them, there is a young man who is enthusiastic, kind, brave, and optimistic. Unlike many Autobots who have been dragged down by the long civil war and are somewhat pessimistic and decadent, this young Cybertronian always carries with him An exhilarating energy, he showed impulsive yet restrained qualities during the war, eager for advancement yet obedient to orders. Optimus Prime and Fu Qinghai both admired him very much.

So Optimus Prime asked him to partner with Fu Qinghai.

Together we escort the Well of Fire Source away from the planet.

This young man is called "Bumblebee".

…

Optimus Prime stood on the top floor of the Iron Castle Data Hall.

Quietly looking at the sky outside the window.

A meteor flashed and disappeared into the sky.

Optimus Prime has not revealed to anyone where the Well of Fire will be launched, not even his closest friends, Jazz, Ironhide, Prowl... He has not revealed a single word. He only said that he launched randomly, without setting a target location, so that the well of fire source could go as far as possible.

Optimus Prime kept staring at the sky outside the window.

Until there is no trace left in the sky.

Optimus Prime lowered his head and looked at the screen.

It says: Human, also known as Homo sapiens, origin: Earth. A carbon-based creature that walks upright and has a certain degree of social awareness. Its main appearance features are...

"Master Titanium."

Optimus Prime called softly:

"I want you to help me completely erase this information record without leaving any trace. I want to find nothing about 'humanity' or 'Earth' in the entire Cybertron data network and the archives of Iron Castle. information."

"As you wish, leader."

Master Titanium agreed.
