[We meet again…]

Although the void bug had transmitted the signal to Li Wenyuan this time, it did not deliberately hide or encrypt this signal. Everyone who was paying attention here could easily crack the content of this signal.

Therefore, the first to be shocked was the Hunter civilization which was very concerned about the fate of this batch of Void Evils.

Their scientists were conducting various data measurements on the strange void lifeforms, but their communications officer immediately brought over the contents of the void bug’s communication.

“This anthropomorphic tone…Is this a sign that the void has a will? Or has the real data of this universe gradually assimilated void lifeforms?”

“Moreover, there’s a very obvious sense of familiarity…Has there been many changes in the outside world during the time we were sealed here?”

The void displayed intelligence that had never been displayed before. This made the Hunter, who thought he knew a little about the void, find it unbelievable.

Not only did the Hunter have a lot of doubts about this, but even Li Wenyuan himself was puzzled.

Fortunately, he quickly found the corresponding possibility from his consciousness data. It was the Void Lord, who had also displayed the form of a void bug. Other than the void lifeforms, Li Wenyuan couldn’t find any void information that could be called “we meet again”.

However, the void bug here was a little different. In addition to the same intelligence, it was also subjective.

If Li Wenyuan didn’t remember wrongly, this void bug was formed by the group of Void Evils contracting, and the Hunter definitely wouldn’t let the Void Evils act like this. At the very least, before they released the Void Evils, they didn’t know that their control methods had lost their effect.

This strange situation also made him have a similar guess as the Hunter. He was also wondering if a lifeform had really been born in the void.

If that was the case, then the countermeasures to interact with the void might need to change.

Just as Li Wenyuan was thinking about how to respond to this void bug, a new accident occurred.

A special data wave seemed to come from the void bug, and this data wave directly triggered a huge commotion in Li Wenyuan’s virtual world.

[@¥*&*]…

[Xziwrhas…]

[…New—new—data, consolidated]

[New technology has been added to the technology tree.]

[…]

The first thing he got from the data waves was a large number of suspected garbled codes. Their data volume was very large. Coupled with the indecipherable characteristics, it almost instantly reminded Li Wenyuan of the redundant data in the void.

However, with this reading, Li Wenyuan realized that the redundant data that he had been preparing to delete had gradually changed.

From the beginning, the garbled codes could be understood and even matched with the words and symbols he used, forming a huge amount of data.

And this data appeared as a kind of technology in his database.

After Li Wenyuan opened the technology tree, the first thing he saw was a brand new technology line.

Due to the fact that his current technology tree was basically lit up, this kind of gray for research technology that appeared in large quantities could instantly attract attention.

This was something he had never encountered before. Even the psionic technology that was originally derived from contact with psionic energy was actually mixed in with many technological lines. It did not directly emerge as an entire technological line as it did now.

However, when he looked at the data in detail, he realized that most of them were in the state of garbled codes. Although they were in the shape of a technology tree, the content was actually empty.

Or rather, it wasn’t empty, but unintelligible.

Technology that could not be deciphered naturally could not be studied or used. Therefore, an entirely new technological line was temporarily useless to him.

However, this indecipherable characteristic reminded Li Wenyuan of the nature of the void.

“…Can this be called void technology? A new technology line?”

Li Wenyuan’s attention was completely attracted by these large amounts of indecipherable void technology. He suddenly noticed that one of the top-level technologies that had almost never been lit up was lit up.

Although these technologies that were more difficult to study were connected to trees, the number would start to decrease sharply after the technology level crossed a certain level.

From Level 8 onwards, the technologies of many routes would begin to belong to a unified summary technology. Most of the routes would reach the end after reaching Level 8, and no higher technology would appear.

Because of this, the technology tree’s canopy reached Level 7 or 8. There were only a few technologies at the top, and it was almost obvious which one had been lit up.

Li Wenyuan was familiar with that technology. The curtain theory, universe realm, and prediction interface of Level 9 technology all pointed to this Level 10 technology called Future Glimpse.

[Future Glimpse]

[Technology level: 10]

[Introduction: If a lifeform can know the force of all natural movements and the location of all natural objects at a certain moment, if it can also analyze these data, the movement of the largest object in the universe to the smallest particles will be contained in a simple formula. Nothing will be vague to this lifeform, and the future will only appear in front of him like the past.]

[Technology Product: Omega Coherence Device]

[Possible Technology: None]

From the introduction alone, the description of this technology seemed to be a description of a theory from the natives’ human era—the Laplace Demon.

This was a theory proposed by a famous human scientist. The general idea was that as long as there was enough information, one could predict the future.

Although this theory was gradually questioned and forgotten with the development of human science, Li Wenyuan still felt dazed for a moment when he saw this description again.

Then, before Li Wenyuan could check the effect of the derivative product of this technology, the Omega Coherence Device, he suddenly received a communication from the void bug again.

[I’m very happy to meet you again. Only when we descend into the universe with our physical bodies can we have this sense of life.]

[The last time we met seemed to be not long ago, but we are still looking forward to another meeting.]

[You, or “you”, seem to have the data of Ring of Time on you, but…you haven’t seen it yet, right?]

[This is even better. At least this time, we came first..]
