Chapter 159

Clara opened her mouth wide, not knowing how to react for a while.

"God" did not continue to talk about this aspect, leaving countless people wanting to eat gossip but unable to.

"Euclid, meaning "Euclidean"."

"The behavior of anomalies at this level cannot be predicted, and there is no rule to follow."

"Using them may cause unforeseen accidents; ignoring them and leaving them in a box also poses a danger."

"Their actions are generally unpredictable and have no rules to follow. Using them may cause unforeseen accidents, or leaving them aside will pose a certain danger."

"There are many reasons for this phenomenon. For example, an anomaly is sentient, and its behavior exceeds the cognition of the current scientific field, or it may just be that the current understanding of it is limited and requires further research and investigation."

""Euclidean"?"

Welt Yang raised his eyebrows. He was no stranger to this name.

He could basically be sure now that the Foundation's home galaxy likely had an inextricable relationship with Earth.

It might even be the Earth in this universe.

If this is the case, what happened in this universe that caused the history here to be so different from the Honkai universe?

In the original universe, as the leader of Anti-Entropy, he hadn't even heard of the existence of the Foundation!

Welt Yang frowned.

"Keter, meaning "Crown"."

"The biggest feature of anomalies at this level is that they are difficult to contain. Even if containment is successful now, it is very easy for containment to fail."

"Containment measures are often large-scale and complex. Because there is no substantial understanding of the anomaly or a lack of technology to properly contain or resist it, the Foundation is often unable to smoothly and continuously effectively contain them."

"Therefore, an anomaly being positioned as Keter level does not mean how dangerous the anomaly is, it just purely means that it is very difficult to contain or the cost of containment is extremely high."

"Thaumiel is the dark side of Keter."

"These anomalies are used by the Foundation to control or offset some other extremely dangerous anomalies, especially Keter-level anomalies."

"They are themselves a type of extremely confidential and rare anomalous thing. Once, their existence itself belonged to the Foundation's highest level of confidentiality, and their location, function, and current status were only known to O5 Council members and a very small number of Foundation personnel."

If the old man hadn't explained the meaning behind Thaumiel, Clara couldn't have imagined that even the existence of "Deus Ex Machina" was a secret.

She originally thought that Thaumiel meant that "Deus Ex Machina" would cause serious consequences if used improperly.

But now, after knowing the heavy meaning behind the word Thaumiel, she had doubts.

"Grandpa Hua, since Thaumiel-level anomalies are extremely confidential and rare, why does the Foundation want to disclose the existence of "Deus Ex Machina" to the whole universe?"

"Good child! Good child!"

Seeing Clara ask the question they cared about for them, the audience nodded up and down, conveying their approval.

"God" smiled and replied:

"That's because the Foundation has already draped a curtain over itself."

"When the curtain of reality falls, unless they are willing to appear actively, even ordinary divinity will find it difficult to find them."

"Since you can't find the Foundation, you naturally can't find "Deus Ex Machina"."

"Curtain..." Dan Heng repeated in a low voice.

This sounded like some kind of revelation.

In many books passed down from ancient times, various metaphors and imagery would be used, requiring later generations to spend a lot of brainpower to successfully interpret them.

Such situations are common.

In the galaxy, Herta, Silver Wolf, Kafka, Himeko, Welt Yang, etc., all frowned subconsciously.

"God" had been outspoken before, but now He used a somewhat vague expression.

Is it because this part cannot be counted as "common sense"?

Does it belong to "paid items"?

Or is the "curtain" really a curtain that can wrap around a star system?

In the "Herta" Space Station, Asta stared at the celestial map, silently calculating in her heart.

Since the Foundation chose to hide itself, it would likely hide the galaxy along with it.

Through the trajectory of the stars, it is possible to find those galaxies hidden by the Foundation.

Unless the Foundation can completely isolate the influence of gravity on celestial motion.

Jarilo-VI, Belobog.

Approaching night, the chill is constant. Except for the Silvermane Guards, it is hard to see people on the road.

The bell of the tram echoes in the quiet city. The tram, which has many years of history, starts on the shallow track, carrying the empty carriage to the terminal station.

The street lights are lit, and the heaters on both sides of the road emit light and heat, and dots of dim yellow light are dyed on the glass windows.

In the Goethe Hotel, several people are no longer making trouble. Dan Heng returned to the room early, and "Stelle" lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling like a salted fish.

March 7th sat on the edge of the bed, supporting her cheek with her left hand, her body slightly bent, trying hard to imprint the Foundation knowledge told by "God" into her mind.

However, she thought about it left and right, and only found many bitter fruits from the explanation like myths and legends, and she couldn't figure it out no matter how she thought about it.

"Xiao Bai~ Xiao Bai~ I want to ask you a question~"

Bai Bai Xuan, who was asked, seemed to be in a daze, and only reacted after being patted lightly by March 7th.

Bai Bai Xuan turned his head, looked at the dizzy girl, and said "um" softly.

Just now, the system gave him a reward in advance.

Seven magic treasures bestowed by "Void Emperor Illusion Dao Lord" to the Administrator:

First, "Creation Secondary Array";

Second, "Poor Die Illusion Dream Tower";

Third, "Qi Thing Constant One Ruler";

Fourth, "Words Out Life Reverse Flag";

Fifth, "Impermanence Return Mysterious Whisk";

Sixth, "Time Change Deduction Number";

Seventh, "True Superior Discussion Dao Edict".

"Void Emperor Illusion Dao Lord", or "Void Emperor", one of the transcendent existences.

As a status set up by purely divine concepts such as "most", "ultimate", "origin", etc., He bears the perfect (semi-)personified existence of the embodiment of "infinity", "gnosis" and the cut surface of finite semantics, becoming the attribution of everything, the end of tracing, the omnipresent meta-one, the mysterious origin, and the very Dao of doing nothing and doing nothing.

He is classified as supreme divinity because the major classification ends at supreme divinity.

Just like in an exam, everyone gets a hundred points. Some people try their best to get a hundred, and some people have a total score of only one hundred.

The seven magic treasures bestowed by "Void Emperor", except for the last one, "True Superior Discussion Dao Edict", which is a magic treasure that directly summons the world-view setter to fight, are all top-notch big killers.

Until now, Bai Bai Xuan was a little dizzy, and once suspected that the system was actually one of the incarnations of "Void Emperor".

March 7th paused, organized her language, and was a little embarrassed:

"The two trees that "God" said at the beginning... what do they mean? I didn't quite understand."

Bai Bai Xuan did not answer immediately, after all, the "Imaginary Tree" and the "Tree of Knowledge" correspond to the settings of two world views respectively.

He thought about it and remembered the magic treasure called "Creation Secondary Array".

"The first wonderful treasure is called 'Creation Secondary Array'. Secondary means approaching, lower, guest position. All strange heavenly thieves have external tricks and do not follow the principles of this world. The methods are not similar, so it is difficult to measure and solve. Now I reverse cause and effect, set up the array before opening, embroider the supreme wonderful method on the back of the sky, and swing the flowing mysterious sound between ten thousand kalpas. If there are strange people entering this sky, they must be bound by the array, descend to the guest position, and guard the main road. Its essence, the transformation of its method, must conform to the principles of this world. For example, a color painting, adding color on it, redrawing the five aggregates, the old traces are covered."

In short, integrate the settings of other world views and explain them with the Foundation world view.

If you look at the comparison of supreme combat power, the "Imaginary Tree" can be counted as a part of the "Tree of Knowledge", or its branch.

Bai Bai Xuan thought for a moment, moved away the hands of March 7th pinching his cheeks, pinched the other party's nose back, and explained:

"This question is not difficult."

"If we compare the universe we are in to a leaf, this leaf grows from an incredibly huge tree."

"Scholars in the galaxy named this tree the "Imaginary Tree"."

"And because the Foundation has divinity, and even supreme divinity, it has a deeper understanding of this tree."

"Or, they learned the full picture of this tree directly from the two supreme divinities who planted the tree, and knew that its name was the "Tree of Knowledge"."

"In this way, the "Imaginary Tree" might be the "Tree of Knowledge", or a part of it, but this is not the point."

"The point is that the tree is not everything, and the "Tree of Knowledge" was planted by two supreme existences."
