2443. Crash Mortis

In Mortis, there is no concept of time at all. There was indeed a distinction between day and night here, but the change between day and night was caused by the constant confrontation between the 'son' and the 'daughter'.

However, when the 'son' died, Mortis did not have a sunny day. On the contrary, the whole weather became always gloomy, which made people feel extremely depressed.

But at this moment, in Land of the Everlasting Sleep, the weather has become extremely terrible!

The extremely powerful Dark Side Force was like a terrifying black dragon, thrusting straight into the sky. Even the sky of Mortis was torn into pieces. Wherever the Force passed, the sky became fragmented and the colors became weird. Blitz, rain, hail, hurricanes, almost all possible weather appears in the sky.

The surrounding lights come in all colors, making this place feel like a ghost land.

This terrifying power completely erupted from the body of the 'son', almost with a power that could destroy the world!

Moreover, it's unknown how long it has been since Land of the Everlasting Sleep presented such a doomsday scene. Ever since Tang Xiao started his ritual full of darkness and death, it has never stopped.

During this period of time, the 'daughter' had been sitting very quietly on her knees with Land of the Everlasting Sleep closed her eyes and meditating, with Dagger of Mortis always placed in front of her.

Maybe this was a terrifying Dark Side Force explosion that could destroy the world in the eyes of others, but it was just a normal thing in her eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but the 'daughter' suddenly frowned and stood up from the ground suddenly. She turned her head and looked behind her, twisted her body slightly, turned into the beautiful griffin, and flew in the other direction.

Soon, she came to the center of Mortis, the towering monastery built on a towering mountain peak.

However, at this time, the originally magnificent monastery had collapsed and turned into a meaningless ruin.

In the void, an old sigh came...

The 'daughter' shook her head, knelt on her knees, prayed to the sky, and chanted an unknown language. Tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes, gathering more and more, and finally covered his cheeks.

"...'Father', is he dead?" A voice that was very familiar to the 'daughter' came from behind.

However, she did not react at all. She just continued to recite the prayers in her mouth, then stood up and said without looking back, "What is your state now? Are you still Tang Xiao?"

"'Son' has completely disappeared. You the Ones are in a very strange state. Only after seeing your 'Father''s current appearance do I understand that from the moment you die, your souls will completely dissipate and not a single trace will be left. On the contrary, if you are an ordinary person, such as If his the Will is strong enough, his soul will even exist for a long time."'Son' said lightly, "In other words, you the Ones have never had such a thing, so you don't have to worry about your 'son' controlling me."

"What 'Father' and I are worried about is that you will be eroded by power of the Dark Side and lose yourself." said 'Daughter'.

"Now that 'father' is dead, what will happen to the Force?" asked the 'son'.

"Nothing will happen." The tone of the 'daughter' was somewhat sad. "This means that the balance of the Force has been completely out of control. Whether it will collapse completely is beyond our control. The future of the Force has been handed over to the hands of every living thing in the galaxy... Should we choose destruction or rebirth?"

"Your statement sounds fair, but it is obvious that existences like Darth-Sidious have a far greater impact on the Force than ordinary people. In other words, this will be a galaxy where the jungle eats the strong..." the 'son' said, "Barbarity, disorder, and power first. However, the galaxy is currently in the flames of war."

"No matter what the outcome is, this is a choice made by the life in the galaxy. I have seen the rise and fall of too many civilizations. I can only say that destruction is the most likely thing to happen. But maybe this time, it is the end of life in the entire galaxy." The 'daughter' shook her head in pain.

"If that's the case, light is meaningless. Hahahaha..." The 'son' sneered, and then the laughter became louder and crazier, "Hahahahahaha! Who would have thought that, as the messenger of light, you would actually set a future of destruction for this galaxy! Hahahahaha! Woo..."

The 'son' suddenly fell to his knees in great pain, covering his head, "Isn't it possible..."

"I said, this power is something you mortals cannot bear." The 'daughter' tone gradually became colder.

"Shut up!" 'Son' roared angrily. This roar contained a powerful Dark Side Force, which even made the surrounding space tremble!

He pointed at his 'daughter' with a ferocious expression, "Do you think you are gods? No! You are far from it!! You are just a few ordinary people who got lucky and gained extremely powerful power! Apart from power, there is no difference between you and me!!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and turned into a hideous gargoyle, flying in the direction of Land of the Everlasting Sleep. His flying posture was shaky, and it was obvious that the pain in his body and soul was almost unbearable.

Arriving at the Land of the Everlasting Sleep building that had also been turned into ruins by the extremely powerful power of the 'son'. Only Tang Xiao was seen leaning against the ruins of the building, sitting quietly on the ground motionless. It was not until the 'son' stumbled over that he flew over and landed in front of Tang Xiao that a vague connection appeared between the two.

Then, Tang Xiao took a deep breath and opened his eyes. But the 'son''s body softened and he fell to the ground with a plop.

"Cough cough cough cough cough... Wu..." Tang Xiao spit out a large mouthful of blood. The pain from his soul still made Tang Xiao extremely uncomfortable. He reluctantly tried to stand up, but fell directly to the ground.

[Forcibly controlling this body will only drastically reduce your lifespan. The 'daughter' is right, such power does not belong to mortals, nor can it belong to mortals.] Lucian Dre said.

"Hehehehehehehe..." Tang Xiao laughed strangely, "As long as I can control such power, Immortality... is at your fingertips!! Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Kill Darth-Sidious, and I will get everything! Everything!!"

[Is your current state... okay?] Lucian Dre asked.

"I'm better than ever...!!" Tang Xiao stood up staggeringly. Although he looked very weak, his eyes were full of excitement and madness.

He rested for a while and finally regained some strength. He picked up his son's body from the ground, but did not leave Mortis and walked towards the monastery.

Following his footsteps, the ground of Mortis began to collapse and collapse behind him, and then dissipated into an endless void.

When he came to the ruins of the monastery, most of Mortis had collapsed, but Tang Xiao found that the 'daughter' was still standing there, as motionless as a sculpture. It wasn't until he walked in front of him that the 'daughter' turned to look at him.

"It seems that you have indeed found a good way." 'Daughter' said coldly, "However, this result is probably not what you really want."

"This is already the best result." Tang Xiao said lightly.

"In this way, what you control is just a doll. It does not help the balance of the Force." said the 'daughter'.

"You are asking knowingly. A big shot like the Force naturally looks down on a small character like me." Tang Xiao looked at Mortis who was collapsing in the distance, then looked at his 'daughter' and said, "Follow me."

"I'm just waiting for you." said the 'daughter'.

"Are you waiting to kill me?" Tang Xiao glanced at the Dagger of Mortis hanging on her waist, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Kingdom of Dawn, Modell Sector, Maya Kovel.

This is a desert planet. Because it is rich in various metal particles, the planet looks red from outer space. Moreover, there are several trade wind belts on the planet. After the dust is rolled up, seven yellow stripes are formed in the atmosphere that never disperse.

Such a natural environment makes this planet look very beautiful.

But beauty is beautiful, but the living environment of the Maya-Kevir planet is very harsh. Because the planet is very arid, there is almost no water on the surface, only deeply buried groundwater. But the Maya-Kevir planet does not have any underground space for more creatures to survive, so there is no possibility of underground biological evolution here.

Fortunately, there is a kind of coccoid algae plant on the planet. This plant relies on the thin water vapor in the cracks on the surface to survive. Once the water vapor in this place disappears, they will eject their plant spores into the sky and then fly along the trade wind belt.

When the moisture in the air in a certain area increases, the spores will absorb water and gain weight, and then fall from the wind, take root and germinate in the gaps where water vapor exists, and continue the next cycle of life.

The nodules in the gaps are difficult to dig out, so when their spores are flying in the air, it becomes the best opportunity to collect them, allowing organisms to obtain water and nutrients from the nodules spores.

So in such a special environment, in the process of biological evolution on the planet Maya-Kevir, the ultimate winner is the bird.

As a result, one of the bird groups evolved into intelligent creatures, which is Ayrou. A race with lavender skin and colored feathers, the female individuals are very beautiful when young, and also have beautiful singing voices. The only disadvantage is that when they grow old, their appearance will decline rapidly, and their skin will dry up and become like an old witch.

When Ayrou developed intelligence and developed their own civilization, they immediately discovered that the Maya-Kevir planet might have a too harsh environment for Homeworld as a race. But if you want to develop industry, you have a unique environment - because the red deserts all over the planet are rich in various metal elements and can be easily mined.

For other races, mining means heavy physical work, huge mining machinery, deep mines, and dark mines. But for Ayrou, mining means shoveling a shovelful of red sand from the ground, loading it into a transport truck, and taking it away for direct smelting.

Therefore, Ayrou's civilization developed very rapidly and soon entered industrialization. After some adventurers brought the technology of hyperspace navigation to Ayrou hundreds of years ago, Ayrou immediately carried out crazy expansion.

What doesn't match their beautiful singing voices and beautiful appearance is Ayrou's fanaticism for expansion and madness for wealth.

It is precisely because of the harsh environment of the planet Maya-Kevir that prompted them to expand crazily in Modell Sector, occupying more than ten planets in Modell Sector in a short period of time. And they also defeated and enslaved several races including Vaxian.

Ayrou's racial policies are very harsh and extremely aggressive. Even Vaxian Swarm, a diligent and honest man, had many uprisings when he was ruled by Ayrou. However, Ayrou relies on its strong industrial strength to defeat Modell Sector, and it continues to expand.

When they finally occupied Annaj Planet, they found that Gaia Planet was a perfect habitable planet, so they began to immigrate to Annaj Planet on a large scale. After a conflict with Human race, who had gone to the planet first and formed a political power with a population of hundreds of millions, he defeated and enslaved mankind as usual.

Eventually, Ayrou became the overlord of Modell Sector, and joined Galactic Republic at 50BBY. Their Council Representative represents the entire Modell Sector among Republic Senate, which is also the official certification of Galactic Republic.

However, 16 years later in 34BBY, when Ayrou was expanding in Kuna Cluster, they encountered another group of humans - a reclamation group claiming to be from Dawn Star Planet.

The arrogant Ayrou almost immediately came into conflict with Dawn Star Planet, and then Dawn Star Planet couldn't bear it and declared war directly. This war completely destroyed Ayrou's the Empire, but instead achieved the rapid expansion of Dawn Star Planet. Vaxian Swarm also abandoned Ayrou and became one of the most loyal races of Fourth Civilization. He is also a super engineer and builder of large-scale projects and even megastructure projects.

Later, in order to resist the rule of Fourth Civilization, Ayrou also rebelled, but was eventually brutally suppressed.

After seeing the war between Fourth Civilization and Galactic Republic, Ayrou finally accepted their fate. They knew that they would never have a chance to compete with Dawn Star Planet. From then on, he stayed on the planets he first occupied and contributed to the development of Fourth Civilization. And because of his strong foundation, Ayrou became the top force in Modell Sector's ranking.

Green Feather Heavy Machinery Company, founded by Ayrou, has also begun to become one of the large-scale military-industrial complexes in Kingdom of Dawn, producing light fighter aircraft, individual aircraft and other weapons and equipment for Kingdom of Dawn.

Maya-Kevir Planetary Administrative Center, Maya City.

A priest wearing a gorgeous feather robe stumbled into Planetary Governor's office and shouted loudly before he entered, "Your Excellency Archon! Your Excellency Archon!! Something big happened!! Something big happened!! The messenger of Great Bird Spirit God... has arrived!!"
