As Ms. Ye got up from the throne, Gao Wen obviously felt that the "atmosphere" around her had changed. The change was centered on the throne and spread rapidly in the entire gray and white desert. The originally chaotic but still bright sky suddenly darkened, as if night was falling, the invisible wind in the desert was also stagnant, and all the fine sand and dust were crawling on the ground. The "city of night" in the distance gradually disappeared in the darkness. In just a few seconds, the vast shadow gods were left with the purest and most monotonous scenery.

The desert, the throne, and the ancient gods and visitors in front of the throne.

Ms. Ye stood beside the throne, and Gao Wen's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the throne. A stream of light quickly attracted his attention. He saw that the towering backrest of the throne suddenly rippled slightly, and then the surface, which was originally carved from huge stones, suddenly became as deep as night, turning into darkness that seemed to be swallowed, tolerating everything. Considering the majestic scale of the throne, the darkness was simply coming to the face!

Immediately afterwards, Gao Wen saw the darkness appearing with stars... Not only on the throne, but also on the sky of the Shadow God Kingdom, the same star brilliance as on the throne begins to appear!

The star map, the shockingly large star map, began to spread towards the entire Shadow God Kingdom with Ms. Night's throne as the center. This desert, which was originally shrouded in the gray-white sky, suddenly seemed to float in the vast space. The night covered the fields, and stars filled the sight. Between the stars in the sky and the bright light on the throne, you can see routes jumping between the stars, and countless signs emerged around the celestial bodies. In the middle of these signs, you can occasionally see subtle flashes slowly moving, the light fading, and all things change.

Under this magnificent star curtain, even the most jumping amber couldn't help but hold her breath. She widened her eyes and looked up at the sky. After several seconds, she took a breath as if she had just reacted. Although Gao Wen, who was standing next to her, was not so shocked, she was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was the star map handed over by the set sailor to Ms. Ye for a safekeeping. It was the complete form of the star map!

Moreover, this star map changes in real time. It is not only a historical data, but also a surveillance image sent back in real time by countless data sites set by the Settler in the universe!

"This is the star map left by the setter," after a long time, Gao Wen finally said softly to himself, "Is the star map custodian... I originally imagined what the star map you kept would look like, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing..."

"When the star map was first handed in my hands, it was not so large," Ms. Ye's calm and calm voice came from the night sky, "But over the past million years, new data has been continuously coming, and it has gradually expanded from its original size to the current scale of the setters continue to sail in the universe. Every time you go to a place, there will be outskirts of varying sizes. These automatic outposts transmit data to the "Star Map Custodian" to outline the picture of the known universe in real time. At the same time, there will be some automatic exploration wandering machinery trekking among the stars, expanding outward with the star map Custodian as the center. What is finally formed is the "Star Map" you see.

"To this day, the Decelerator fleet has left this universe. The signals from the mother fleet were no longer updated tens of thousands of years ago, and the automatic exploration fleet also completed its mission about 100,000 years ago. The scale of the star map has no longer expanded, but more than 90% of the nodes above are still transmitting local data in real time, so what you see... is the real state of this starry sky every minute and every second."

Gao Wen looked at the starry sky above his head quietly, and he remained silent for a while before he suddenly spoke: "For a civilization that has just stepped into the universe or is about to enter the universe, the value of this star map is simply incalculable..."

"Yes, an incalculable legacy, civilizations crawling in the gravity field cannot understand the value of stars, but as long as they start looking up at the stars, they will naturally understand the meaning of this thing," Ms. Ye said in a deep voice, "and this is not just a star map, but also a navigation authorization... The setter cannot help the primitive civilization too much, but just these help is enough to make a toddler civilization leave the cradle relatively smoothly."

"...so the civilization that accepts this inheritance must be carefully selected," Gao Wen seemed to understand something, "so it requires many tests, and there is no external help before adulthood..."

"External assistance will lead to the abnormal development of civilization. In this world, the abnormal development of civilization is the most terrible thing," Ms. Ye's eyes fell on Gao Wen. "A civilization with abnormal development has given birth to a deformed development of gods. At the same time, this god has been exposed to the knowledge preserved in the star map. You can imagine how terrible disaster this will lead to. You must know that the gods born in the process of adulthood of civilization are not limited by the cage of the "maternal star information closed loop".

As if a loud bell rang in his heart, all the clues were connected at once. Gao Wen realized that Ms. Ye had to work so much to avoid becoming the "God of the Starry Sky", and even personally accompanied him to complete the half-century illusion journey, and realized what kind of terrifying fate he had missed. At the same time, he heard the voice of the ancient god continue to come from the sky.

"The last instruction left to me by the set sailor was about the entrustment of the Star Map. They told me that if the Star Map is finally handed over to the civilized civilization that is about to become an adult, then the 'representative' that accepts the inheritance must not be a god, and never be a god..."

Gao Wen blinked, and he had already reacted at this time: "So if I failed to pass the binding test of the anchor generator before..."

Ms. Ye was silent for a moment, her voice was low: "I'm sorry, if you really can't get through, then I can only let you stay here, because you have been exposed to certain core 'knowledge' at that time, and your probability of becoming a god still exists. Leaving you in the Kingdom of Shadow God is my only choice to ensure that things are controllable after the plan failed."

Gao Wen thought about it carefully and showed a smile on his face: "Although it is not a good method, it is indeed reasonable."

"Yes, it's reasonable, but not a good method, but... Actually, I knew from the beginning that this preparation was useless," Ms. Ye seemed to laugh, "I believe you, my neighbor, you can certainly pass the so-called 'test'. Although the final success exceeded my expectations, even in the worst expectations, I never really thought you would fail..."

This time it was finally Gao Wen's turn to be a little surprised. He looked up at the eyes that looked down from the sky: "You are so confident in me? It sounds like unconditional trust..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ms. Ye hadn't said anything, she heard Amber next to her say for granted, "Is this a matter of doubt? You are like a strong mind. You didn't blink when the sentry was stumbled on the ground and hit the ground against the tide..."

Gao Wen turned his head in surprise and looked at the shadow assault goose next to him, but saw the other party's amber eyes staring at him in a shiny light under the night sky. Her face was filled with inexplicable pride and trust, as if she was clearly talking about Gao Wen, but she was proud of herself.

Gao Wen blinked. He was about to say something when he heard Ms. Ye's voice come again: "Anyway, all this has been completed smoothly. Although the current situation is not consistent with the plan of the Setter in the past, there is a civilization that has grown to its current height."

"...What exactly do the setter want?" Gao Wen's thoughts quickly calmed down. He asked what he had cared about since a long time ago. "I mean, they made so many arrangements, left so many gifts, and set up a star map custodian like you... This should have a purpose, right? But now their fleet has permanently left this universe, then..."

"The setter... hope there will be another 'setter' in this starry sky," Ms. Ye whispered, "a grown up with her own strength, a truly independent step out of the cradle, and a new civilization that can set sail from her home star like them."

Gao Wen was stunned.

"Another 'setting man'...is all their wishes?" He said in surprise. "They left so many arrangements, just hoping that there would be a civilization that set sail from their home planet like them? Wait, then in this case, there would be no already in their fleet..."

"The civilizations taken away by the Decelerator's fleet will never truly become adults. They are just taking a journey in a larger 'cradle of eternity'," said Ms. Ye calmly, "The Decelerator will not abandon the tribes seeking help, but even after thousands of years, those civilizations taken away by them can only be "passengers" in the fleet. They may become advanced, become civilized, and be able to control warships and gallop across the galaxy like the Decelerator, but their tribe's thoughts will always be left with a shackle that has not been completely cut off.

"The existence of this shackles of thought is like an eternal shadow, constantly chasing these 'boat passengers'. This shadow prevents them from leaving the ship for a long time and living alone. The boat passengers who are chasing this shadow... cannot become the setters."

Gao Wen listened to Ms. Ye's words and did not speak for a while. He had already realized something in his heart. At the same time, deep in his heart, the ancient tribe who was called the "Starring Man" who left a thick mysterious shadow in the hearts of the world finally had a little clear outline. After this moment of silence, he suddenly heard Ms. Ye's voice coming again, and the ancient god whispered a short poem.

"...Don't be immersed in this illusory quiet night... The night will eventually be broken...

“…Don’t indulge in your warm cradle… The cradle will capsize one day…

“…Don’t sleep in the shelter of the soul… Sooner or later, the shelter of the soul will become an unbreakable shackle…

"Let's go, before the stars flash, let's go, before the long night ends...

"If you don't set out quickly, the day will come..."

Gao Wen suddenly raised his head: "I have heard of this poem, which is in the fragments left by the set sailor..."

"This is also the legacy left by the Settler to this world, but not the 'official' legacy like a star map," said Ms. Ye slowly. "This is what a poet in the Settler did when he looked back at the planet before he evacuated from the Sky Station. This poem was recorded by the Sky Station and was transferred to my database. You can regard this as a poet's thoughts, or as an expectation and reminder of this world."

Amber opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Poet? Are there poets among the sailors?"

"Why not?" Ms. Ye laughed, "Poets, singers, painters... Culture and art are enjoyable by every civilization, and the sailor is just a civilization traveling in the sea of ​​stars. They are mortals, please keep this in mind."

Gao Wen was thinking about it. In the past many years, he had recalled this short poem more than once. He had understood this poem from various angles, but as his understanding of the world deepened, his understanding of the demon tide and the disaster gradually became clear. His understanding of this poem was already very different from the beginning.

"I thought at first that the poem mentioned was just a metaphor for the separation and reunion of the world or the wrong routes of some dark sects, but now it seems... every sentence in this poem is pointing to the whole of civilization and among the stars," he suddenly said in his thoughts, "The illusory tranquility of the long night refers to the intermittent calm period of the demon tide, right?"

Behind the mist, Ms. Ye nodded gently.

"That warm cradle... refers to the mother star with a suitable environment," Gao Wen then said, "Although the mother star is comfortable and livable, a mere planet is so fragile in the universe. The civilization that always traps the mother star will overturn in the face of natural disasters deep in the universe, right?

"And as for the shelter of the soul... I once thought that this refers to some kind of wrong route of mental anesthesia to avoid reality, but after understanding the secrets of the gods, I realized that this sentence actually refers to the 'thought' itself! Mortals rely on their faith in the gods to seek protection, and the gods were born in the mortal thoughts to protect the world. This is the real 'the shelter of the soul', and this shelter will sooner or later become the seal of the soul, right?"

Ms. Ye exclaimed softly: "Everything is just as you said."

"The period of the calming moment of the demon tide, the necessity of adulthood, the hidden dangers of thought... The ultimate answer was actually in front of us at the beginning," Gao Wen finally let out a gentle breath. Although getting these answers at this moment had no "guidance meaning" for him, an inexplicable sense of ease came out deep in his heart. At the same time, he also sighed a lot, "But until today, we can read the true meaning of these sentences..."

"The setter left this poem, not in itself, to warn the world of truth, it is just a poet's sigh when he looked back on the long journey."

Gao Wen nodded slightly, then asked again: "What does the last part of this poem mean? This is the only thing I cannot confirm at the moment... I guess the star flashing refers to the moment when the demon tide comes, but why should it be described in this way?"

Ms. Ye was silent for a moment and replied softly: "The demon tide itself is invisible and material, but when the demon tide passes around stars or gas giant planets, the visible light changes generated will be the last scene that mortals see before death. The "virtual celestial body" condensed by high-energy air balls and magic surges will "mapple" the shadow of the demon tide in this process. The shadow usually appears bright red or orange-yellow, and this process will be accompanied by violent magic release.

"These light and shadow changes on the surface of stars or gas giant planets can only be observed at a closer distance, while the violent magic release can be clearly observed within a few light years, or even hundreds or thousands of light years. Therefore, if the magic tide is heading towards an observer, he will first observe with his naked eyes that the surface of the "sun" closest to him is covered with blood. At this moment, if he uses the magic vision to observe the sky, he will see that every star in the sky is flickering violently. When the magic tide reaches its peak, these drastic changes will even make the entire night sky "bright". Of course, this is a scenery that can only be seen in the magic vision.

"Considering that the speed of the demon tide transmitting in the universe is actually slightly slower than the speed of light, and it also has structures such as 'forward tremor', 'afters', and 'boundary interference', the above scene will actually happen at some point before the end of the world.

"This is the true meaning of 'Stars' and 'Day Arrival'. This is the last scene that mortals who are unable to resist the demon tide can see before they die out."
