Lords: From Civilization to the Stars

Even for the Negative Stars, the Antarctic Tower is still a huge project that is almost despairing. Endless wars are burning in the old world, and almost every Negative Star is advancing on the battlefield. It seems that only the players and some of the last Negative Stars who have retreated are building the tower in Antarctica.

For the players, the news they know is that the entire tower is a huge psychic node, which will complement the World Wound of the North Pole, and arrange a huge psychic network over the entire old world to eliminate all demons in one go. After all, most players really don’t know what those elves who are missing limbs but trying to survive and are even recovering are writing.

Negative Stars have no sense of confidentiality. Their way of survival and thinking logic are destined to make their actions very open and aboveboard. Although the players’ building requests were rejected because of psychic power, the corners were still allowed. Of course, what the players require for free work is to constantly copy the countless runes on the Antarctic Tower. There is nothing to refuse for the Negative Stars, and they readily agreed. This process has been going on for several months in this demon wave.

With the powerful counterattack of the negative stars, and the reason why the order side began to react and continued to fight back against the chaos demons, the scene looked very good for a while. Countless spires rose from the continents of the old world, and the golden veil began to cover the sky.

The catastrophe fire that fell from the sky and the silver knights that followed have become a kind of benchmark, making all players and creatures on the ground feel excited and safe.

It seems that everything is moving in a good direction, and players have begun to gradually decipher and learn the runes on the Antarctic giant tower.

However, as the research gradually deepened, some players inevitably found some problems.

Their people began to disappear.

Some rune research experts in reality sometimes appear very confused and frightened, and even a little panic. After contacting some researchers in some aspects, these research experts did not even make any external contacts in a short period of time. So far, they have disappeared.

Whether it is the so-called learning faction that is close to the Chaos Demon, or the research experts on the Negative Star side, they all seem to be a little uneasy, because their research seems to be in a dilemma.

There is also a giant tower with the same scale replica standing in the Antarctic on the player planet, because according to their cognition, this kind of thing must also be studied and experimented in order to achieve normal operation and development. But recently, the researchers of the Negative Star Church refused to open the Antarctic spire and began to turn to secret research and construction. In addition, the disappearance of the rune researchers always seems to imply something.

A kind of pressure, an indescribable pressure began to permeate these rubbing and researchers. Obviously, being in the deepest part of the Negative Star world, theoretically there can be no problems, but everyone instinctively feels that the research on this psychic rune seems to cause big problems in the end.

But even if there is a premonition, the research must continue. Because these studies do not represent their personal interests, but the interests of countless companies and state agencies behind them.

They can't just give up the research because of some rumors, after all, the upper level is still helping to find their companions.

To this day, they are still studying the runes engraved inside the Antarctic Giant Tower under the care of a group of players. These towering load-bearing columns are hundreds of meters wide and thousands of meters high. They are reinforced with psychic energy and runes to create a network that allows the will to flow.

Although it has not yet been officially put into operation, the pale golden runes and the traces that have been carved on it prove that this is a ritual site that the Negative Stars value very much. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wonder.

The entire Antarctic peaks were removed, and then the never-extinguished chaotic wind was used as a furnace to cast this giant tower that is almost 30,000 meters high and covers an area that is almost larger than a country. This huge project seems so long and stretched even with the power of the Negative Stars. So much so that the Negative Stars have to use the power of the players and have to let them help build it.

But even so, with the joint efforts of countless laborers, intelligent creatures, machinery, and Negative Stars, the progress of this giant tower has just reached a height of 5,000 meters. This is also the best time for players to be able to copy the core runes on it. Because their team happened to be responsible for the construction of the internal pipeline to lay the anti-magic metal to block the leakage of psychic energy. During the laying process, as long as the task is completed within the time limit, you can take the opportunity to appreciate the great rune art of the Negative Stars here.

While using the automated runes provided by the Negative Stars to lay anti-magic bricks, these player researchers used the subtle psychic power brought by the belief in the Negative Stars to begin mobilizing the ritual to continuously record the runes on the huge structure. But the more they observed, the more they found something wrong.

Although the basic runes such as strengthening, extension, and resonance of power are very common in the grassroots, as the pipeline progresses upward and reaches an altitude of 5,000 meters, they found that the runes began to change.

Some unfamiliar runes and some very obvious marks began to appear in the pipeline, and showed their existence openly and without concealment.

"The runes here... represent the power of tampering."

The player who was placing the anti-magic metal branded the runes on it, blinked his eyes in confusion, as if he couldn't believe the meaning of the runes he saw.

"Here is the dual direction of the soul and the body, and there is diffusion, diffusion, diffusion... Then here, it is the direction of the symbol of the Lord of the Negative Star. If I am not mistaken, this part of the rune should be within the diffusion range of this Antarctic spire, pointing something to the Lord of the Negative Star..."

Pointing to the Lord of the Negative Star within the diffusion range?

It sounds like there is no problem, but I always feel something is wrong...

Looking at the huge pillar in front of him, the player began to continuously rub the runes on it while placing the anti-magic metal. But as the metal continued to pile up, it seemed that there was a problem with a rune brick.

After the anti-magic metal was placed, the first layer of bricks pointing to diffusion and the Lord of the Negative Star actually produced a little inexplicable energy spark, and then flickered for a moment, and then disappeared into thin air. The players looked at each other silently, and then tacitly began to pull apart the broken bricks to expose the deeper runes inside.

"...Everyone, have you finished rubbing?"

"It's almost there, but it's not what I imagined..."

Looking at the runes that appeared inside, the players used the branding technology they were taught to continuously rub the characters, but facing those terrifying rune marks, they felt that they seemed to have found some absolutely unfavorable news for the current situation.

Those runes that really exist inside under the surface are all clearing instructions. All intelligent creatures, all wills and ideas, all personal thoughts and souls will be cleared by the power of the Lord of Negative Stars. After activating the Antarctic Giant Tower, this 30,000-meter-high giant tower will use the infinitely smooth planetary shield to transmit the condensed shock waves and psychic fluctuations to every corner of the planet.

At that time, all personal wills and all self-ideas will be destroyed in an instant. Because the Lord of Negative Stars believes that the soul is an unnecessary existence, and only being a soulless person is the only way out.

‘Erase the souls of all intelligent life.’

‘Erase the self-consciousness of all individuals.’

‘Erase all concepts and psychic powers.’

‘Erase all magic and defense.’

‘Erase all life.’

“…”

The demons did not lie.

Looking at the dense dark red characters under the spreading rune, the player's breathing became rapid, and he felt the blood rushing to his forehead.

He didn't care what these runes were. After all, this world was just a completely real game. Even if there were any problems, they would only be minor problems at most, not a big deal. But psychic technology does exist.

If, as the legend says, the Negative Star Sect is accepting the guidance of the Negative Star on a one-to-one basis and building the Antarctic Spire on the player's planet. Then, inside the 300-meter-high spire, are there also these runes that want to clean the entire planet and restart it all? You know, the instructions on it are that the Lord of the Negative Star will die whether he believes it or not!

The player who recorded the video almost had a buzzing sound in his head as he looked at the hidden meanings of the runes in the video. At this moment, some tall but incomplete figures appeared in the room.

"...Everyone, please stop what you are doing."

The voice was crisp, but the blue-haired elf with one eye blind and wearing an eye patch looked at the players who stopped their work and said loudly:

"There is a crack in the 431521 node of the 72nd area. Because there are magical wastes in the forging elements that need to be corrected, we are here. We will replace this part of the external bricks. Please stop your work to avoid danger and accidents."

"..."

The players quickly stopped their work and watched these elves with missing arms and legs holding a rune brick and starting to walk to the edge of the load-bearing column.

All of these elves are the negative star who survived the cruel battlefield against demons. Their body regeneration has not yet been applied for, and their energy replenishment is not enough. For the time being, they are doing some installation and monitoring work around the Antarctic Giant Tower. But looking at the one-eyed blue elf, the player who saw the leak couldn't help but speak out, and shouted out the truth he saw in front of everyone.

"I just saw it, I saw the runes inside your broken bricks! Why didn't you tell us that you actually planned to clean up the whole world! You want to kill all living things, whether they are demons or other intelligent creatures, is this true! Do you really want to destroy the world?"

"Destroy the world? Of course not."

Slowly adjusting the position of the bricks, the one-eyed elf looked at the player in front of him with an innocent face, and shook his head innocently.

"We never planned to destroy the world, we just want to use the power of unity to make those demons retreat. We always hope that everyone can stand with us and fight against the demons in their own way. Fighting against demons is the most important cause, and it is not enough to rely on ourselves."

"Then, those runes are..."

"All of them are real."

Looking at the player who was speechless for a moment, the elf smiled sweetly and admitted the fact in the shocked eyes of all the players.

"Your academic performance is very good, and the runes you copied are all correct. These runes are used to expand the power, cover the entire realm, and then connect people's hearts together. We really intend to destroy everyone's soul and body."

"Why? Why do you want to do this!"

"It's strange, don't you know the reason very well? I should have said it just now."

Looking at the angry players, the elf with clear eyes tilted his head, and a trace of confusion flashed across his beautiful face.

"To destroy all demons and enemies. Because intelligent creatures and everyone are too deeply entangled by demons, souls should not exist. Only by destroying all souls and replacing them with the purest biological essence can the pollution of demons be completely purified."

"So we built the Antarctic Tower to solve all troubles and attacks from demons once and for all. Gather everyone's energy together, pray to the Lord of Negative Stars, and use the power of the Antarctic Tower to spread our blessings to the whole world. All souls and bodies will dissipate, and all demons and sins will dissipate. After seven days, we will usher in a new life and beginning."

"Of course, you players are also right. But I believe that you can understand this great sacrifice and blessing. After all, you also have the credit for all this, right?"

Looking at the players with pale faces and falling into an ice cellar, the elf smiled and gave the final decisive blow.

"After all, you even replicated our achievements in your hometown. We are also very moved by your awareness and determination of your ideas. Please continue, for our ideals and glorious world, such a great future and beautiful results will only take less than three months at most."
