The first thousand one hundred and thirty-eight chapters are like fireflies rising and falling

Listening to Enya's soft sigh, Gao Wen knew that what the dragon gods said was from the heart. He smiled and nodded softly: "I thank you for your wishes for Belsetia, but these things have nothing to do with you anymore. Let them go by themselves."

"Yes, after all, I'm already 'retired'," a chuckling came from the golden dome, with a sense of relief. "It's better not to worry about so many things after finally getting free."

Gao Wen looked at the newly added furnishings in the room. His eyes swept over the magic network terminal and neural connector that were in standby state. He saw that there was still a faint glow on the rune substrate and crystal structure, and slight magic fluctuations came from the depths of the device. This was the result of a long run, which made him unable to help speaking: "It seems that you like our neural network quite well?"

"The Dragon Clan once created Omega networks with larger scale and more complex structures, but even Omega grew from a simple young man at first," Enya said softly. "Your neural network reminds me of the appearance of Omega when it was born... green, primitive, incomplete, but it is growing rapidly every minute and every second, as if confirming the vitality of the entire civilization... Yes, I really like your neural network."

"If the dragon clan knew that the gods they had once feared actually had a hobby of 'surfing the Internet', they would be surprised as if they were surprised," Gao Wen couldn't help laughing, "After all, this thing is a complete 'technical product'."

"Just as you already know, the instincts and nature of gods are not consistent," said Enya, and the golden runes on his eggshell slowly swam again. "Even Hragore doesn't know. In fact, for so many years, I have always wanted to try their Omega network, look at the things on it like an ordinary dragon clan, write down my thoughts, and talk to the children normally... I have been thinking this way, but I can't."

"Now you have this opportunity - although our neural network may not be as advanced as the Omega network in your eyes," Gao Wen nodded. "This network is growing very quickly. Our next plan is to make it run throughout the continent of Loren, and if we successfully establish communication with the continent of Tallond, its nodes will definitely be there - the dragon will become its user, and you will have the opportunity to realize your always-off wish."

The sound from the golden dome was filled with a hint of joy: "I am very much looking forward to that day. If you need my help, you can speak at any time."

Gao Wen nodded with a smile, pulled a chair from the side and sat down. Then he suddenly looked at the golden dome in front of him with a little curiousness: "Speaking of this, for the first time using our neural network, have you encountered any interesting people or things?"

In fact, he didn't need to ask Enya face to face like this - the surveillance team at the computing center has been paying attention to the data flow of three "special users" in the neural network. He could ask Yuri, Wendy or Selena what the three retired gods did when they were surfing the Internet, but he felt that it would be less fun, and it would be more interesting to have a face-to-face conversation like this.

If he had time, he would also like to ask Amoen and Milmina about their experience online.

"I just wandered in that dream city most of the time, and went to the Milky Way outside the city to visit the little spider girl who was resting. I didn't contact too many people," Enya recalled and said slowly, "That little girl is very interesting. When she learned that my body in the real world is an egg, she seemed to pay close attention to how I should run. She also had a magical theory of judging running speed based on the number of legs... Unfortunately, I couldn't understand this theory in the end.

"I also visited the 'pyramid' in the center of Dream City. A network immortal named Selena Gerfen received me, but she seemed very nervous about my appearance... I guess she might be one of the 'informers' behind your 'project'? Ah, no, I'm not dissatisfied, this is a normal arrangement.

"If you want to talk about any interesting experiences..."

Enya paused at this point, as if thinking, and then spoke again with a smile: "In a news report about Tallond, I actually saw a message that was vaguely related to me. The commentator seemed to know the secret behind the war in Tallond and also had a certain degree of understanding of my existence... I guess he was a member of the Theocracy Council? A researcher? Or an archive manager?"

"There is such a thing?" Gao Wen was listening calmly, and at this moment, his brow suddenly couldn't help but frown, "What's the name of the commentator?"

"Highway deer," Enya said casually, "a very strange name that I was deeply impressed by."

Gao Wen: "…"

"What's wrong? Do you know who that is?"

"No, I'm not sure," Gao Wen's lips trembled, and seventy or eighty thoughts were already whistling by his mind. He quickly inferred something from behind the name - after all, looking at the whole world, there is only one who can be associated with this name, "But I probably guessed who he is. If everything is correct, I can even introduce you to the understanding in a while. He is indeed one of the members of the Theocratic Council. But then again, it turns out that the old deer is so leaping inside..."

Enya didn't understand what Gao Wen said to herself in the last sentence, but she vaguely guessed something from the other party's attitude. After all, although the existence of Amoen and Milmina is still confidential to the outside public, the relevant information has long been publicly circulated within the Theocracy Council. As one of the new technical consultants of the Theocracy Council (mainly responsible for acting as research objects), she also has certain authority to understand the information.

Perhaps because of this topic, Gao Wen suddenly looked at Enyado curiously and asked: "By the way, what name did you give yourself in the neural network?"

A voice came from the golden dome: "Tea egg."

The hatching room suddenly became quiet. After a long time, Gao Wen's voice broke the silence: "...ah?"

"Tea Egg," Eunya repeated again very seriously, "I remember hearing you mentioned this name once, it should be spelled wrongly, right?"

"Are you serious?" Gao Wen's eyes widened in an instant, and the muscles on his face couldn't help but tremble twice. He never expected that a joke from his day would now be said seriously from the Dragon God's mouth in this form, which made him, the person who made the joke, didn't know how to follow it up for a while, "I mean... you really treat this name as your own..."

"Is this name inappropriate?" Enya was confused by Gao Wen's reaction. "I didn't receive a system alert when I was created. It should not involve blocking vocabulary, right?"

"It's not a problem of blocking vocabulary," Gao Wen touched his chin awkwardly, "The main reason is that this title doesn't match your temperament. I thought you would choose a more elegant and noble style... After all, you see, you used to be the gods of the dragon clan..."

"I referred to the habit of dragons' names on the Omega network. This free naming method is more suitable for the atmosphere of anonymous networks," Nya said particularly seriously. "And I hope to use this method to make my personality more lively - I wanted to try this a long time ago."

Gao Wen blinked, feeling that he had finally figured out the unknown side of the Dragon God's character - the more real side, but the awkward atmosphere still made him cough twice, touched the tip of his nose and said, "If you want to be less serious, the first thing is to do is not to make your tone so serious when talking about this topic."

"Am I very serious? Sorry, I haven't noticed it," Enya listened and immediately said very seriously. "I understand, and then I tried to adjust - very well, I have a direction to work hard again."

Have you been working hard a little bit lately?

Gao Wen couldn't help but mutter, but this time he didn't dare to say everything he was thinking - he had roughly figured out the character of this dragon god. At this time, he was afraid that the words he said would make the other party serious, and then she would find a "direction of effort" for her future life... There are enough directions.

"Ahem," he coughed twice, and finally decided not to continue the topic of the present. "The chat is almost done. Actually, I have a serious matter to come to you today."

"Serious business?" Enya said with curiosity, "What are you referring to?"

Gao Wen calmed down and quickly organized the language in his heart. At the same time, he tried to adjust his emotions back to a serious state. Then he broke the silence with a serious look on his face: "There is something you should already know. We have a long-term 'monitor' project. The purpose of this project is to track a mysterious signal of unknown origin..."

"I know," Eunya said immediately, not knowing if it was an illusion, but she had a certain feeling in her tone, as if she had been waiting for the topic for a long time, "I knew it long before the war in Tallond broke out-Melita brought the news back to Tallond."

"Melita?" Gao Wen was stunned, but soon recalled, "Ah, yes, after the first confirmation of the existence of the signal, I confirmed the source of the signal to all parties, including Tallond... But the dragon clan did not give any response at that time."

"They wanted to respond to you," Eunya said lightly, "but I stopped him."

"You stopped you?" Gao Wen's eyes immediately became serious, and his eyes fell on Enya's eggshell, "Why?"

"Because the dragon clan was still in a dangerous state of blockade and was about to usher in a critical moment of fate, I must avoid them from paying too much attention to the starry sky, and also avoid them from informing foreign clans about the starry sky - otherwise under the circumstances at that time, I would likely lose control in advance."

"About the starry sky..." Gao Wen blinked, and a strange but unexpected feeling couldn't help but surged from the depths of his heart. He took a breath slowly, "So that signal really came from the starry sky? Who exactly sent it? How far is it from our planet? How much do you know about its sender?"

"You have too many problems at once," Enya said calmly. Her gentle and indifferent voice also calmed Gao Wen's slightly excited mood quickly. "I may know more about the starry sky than you, but I have not yet reached the level of omniscience, so you'd better lower your expectations first so that we can continue.

"First of all, the first question about yours, the source of the signal...yes, as you have thought, that signal comes from the starry sky, from a planet that is extremely far away for today's mortals, but not so far away on the scale of the universe.

"But I don't know more about the information about that planet and the information about the signal transmitter."

"Don't you know?" Gao Wen frowned subconsciously, "As the most powerful god on this planet, can't you see it?"

"Because I am a god on this planet, my eyes are destined to be too far away from this planet," Enya said with a smile, "This is exactly what you must know. Regarding the greatest limitation of God, I believe you have actually studied this step, but you will always subconsciously ignore it - although God is very powerful, He can only be powerful in His realm. The more specific and strong the imagination of God is of God, the more specific and confined the realm of God is.

"Until I fell, the dragon clan had never stepped out of this planet, so my eyes could only fall on this planet. Even if I could know everything on this planet, I could not peek at anything outside of this planet... At this point, I am very similar to the huge "Sorin Giant Tree", and our vision is bound to a specific field.

"It is precisely because of this that the impact of mortals on the gods' on the 'steps of the planet' is so strong. You must understand from the basic principles why all this is."

"God can only be strong in his own realm..." Gao Wen said thoughtfully, "This is a very important message, I have recorded it. Then back to that signal, you know nothing about the source of that signal and the sender... Then what else do you know? What else can you tell us?"

"Although I can't see the situation on other planets, I have at least witnessed the expedition of the setters and experienced that era when the sky was open," Enya said. "As for you, the wanderer outside the domain, you come from the starry sky, so we all know one thing very well: this universe is not dead and silent, and the sentient beings on our planet are by no means the only one in the starry sky, so it is really normal for the sound of wisdom other than us to appear in the universe.

"And such a normal thing certainly won't happen just once.

"Before the signal you received appeared, the "sounds" captured by this planet from the universe in my memory alone were no less than a hundred times. These signals that shuttled and moved in the dark were like fishing lamps that suddenly lit up in the endless night. They mean that this starry sky is far from as cold as it looks on the surface. Under the protection of many stars, there are many intelligent creatures who can think, observe, and watch the starry sky like you, and a considerable number of them have developed to an extremely high level. At least... they already know how to let their "greetings" leave the earth under their feet and cross such a long starry sky."

"Not less than...a hundred times?" Gao Wen finally widened his eyes in surprise, "Has this planet received so many alien signals?"

"It's not intentional reception - most of these signals are purposeless diffusion and release, rising and falling in the universe like ripples, some of which will just 'pass by' here. And my memory spans millions of years, and it's not surprising to hear some greetings over such a long period of time."

Gao Wen couldn't help but take a light breath and asked hesitantly: "What about these signals later?"
