Heaven is an unknown place.

Jezra, this is the second level of the [Unknown Land], known as the "World of Formation".

A majestic church stands in the wide square.

The church is spacious and tall. There is a group of gorgeous sculptures on the front, which vividly depict the stories in the Bible.

It is magnificent, exudes a holy atmosphere, and makes people feel connected with the gods.

A huge white light flashed across the world, and a young man with blond hair and golden eyes was teleported to the square.

When the white light dissipated, the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven who had just taken office subconsciously raised his head and looked at the iconic building of [Jezra] - the [Doomsday Clock].

When he saw the time above, Xia Xiu's golden pupils couldn't help but shrink.

[Doomsday Clock] was uploaded at the wrong time, it was three expansions faster than the previous one...

In the Kingdom of Heaven, the four floors of [Unknown Land] have their own unique landmark buildings. For example, the place where Xia Xiu awakened [Ling Ling] earlier was the symbol of [Asia] on the first floor - [Holy Ark]

.

The boundary monument standing outside [Holy Ark] is inscribed:

【We create gods and establish beliefs to describe our salvation.】

[We hold the genealogy in hand and analyze the ether to become the all-knowing one.]

The iconic building of the second level world [Jezra] is the [Doomsday Clock], which is an imaginary clock face that is projected into the sky above [Jezra], and every angel can see it when he raises his head.

[Doomsday Clock] is a metaphor for the threat that crisis sequences pose to humanity.

The clock is evaluated by Eden every January. It marks the distance of the world from destruction: midnight symbolizes the end of the world. Eden will move the minute hand closer or farther to midnight according to the world situation to remind all walks of life and angels

We face the problem squarely.

[The Doomsday Clock] originally had a time of "seven minutes to midnight."

Every year thereafter, Eden evaluates and decides whether to adjust the clock time based on changes in the world situation.

When the clock is closer to midnight, it means that humans are closer to disaster.

The time on the [Doomsday Clock] hanging high in the sky right now looks very wrong.

——[Doomsday Clock]——

Minutes remaining: 1

Current time:23:59:00.

Weight adjustment (minutes): 10

————————

This time represents Terra entering the countdown to collapse.

In the previous life, when the fifth expansion pack "The End" was launched, the [Doomsday Clock] would enter the final sixty-second countdown.

And now, even before the second expansion pack "Apocalypse Deterrence" has been launched, Eden has started the countdown to collapse.

Xia Xiu seemed to have thought of something, and he began to release his spirituality and interact with the ether in the more distant sky.

As he expected, there was no fluctuation, and the ether above the stratosphere was sealed.

This means that [Heaven Gate] and [Hell Gate] have blocked Terra in advance.

"During the three days I was away, something big happened outside..."

Xia Xiu could not imagine what kind of big event could actually make Eden move the minute hand closer to ten minutes.

He looked around and found that there were very few angels in [Jezra]. He seemed to be the only official battle angel. The other angels seemed to be in the lower three levels. Moreover, the angels who were engaged in clerical work looked a little...

In a panic, they simply nodded and said hello to the arrival of the new angel, and then began to get busy with various documents.

Just as Xia Xiu was looking around, a ball of light began to gather in front of him. He looked at the slowly forming ball of light.

[Hugh Abraham, please go to the [Central Containment Room·Entropy Pool Management Facility] to assemble——]

"Entropy Pool Management Center, isn't that one of the core areas of the central containment room..." Xia Xiu said secretly in his heart. Then, he followed the light ball leading the way.

Under the leadership of the light ball, Xia Xiu quickly arrived at the [Entropy Pool Management Center] site. When he approached his destination, the familiar warning sound and red pop-up window appeared in front of him again.

[In accordance with the order of the resolution meeting

The current location is a first-level confidential location.

Unauthorized access is prohibited and violators will be locked and necessary processing will be carried out.

You have been warned, this is the last time.]

"Enable authentication authority." Xia Xiu said to the red pop-up window in a familiar manner, and then he summoned the Book of Heavenly Genealogy that became the "Book of Order".

[Recognizing authentication information...

Please point your pupils towards the biometric identifier.

The quantum flow link test has been completed, taking 0.001s, the response rate is 98.5%, and the average trust time is 0.00314s, which is within the normal range.

Contact has been reestablished with the DE-16 subsystem.

Site status identification code: 002.

Certification passed, welcome.

The Fourth Sword Bearer in Heaven: Hugh Abraham——】

As the certification passed, a huge space rippled, and then layers of metal doors were opened.

Xia Xiu stepped in without hesitation.

*********

Central Containment Room and Entropy Pool Management Facility.

After stepping into the management office, what comes into view is a curved passage lined with various high-end instruments and display screens.

The researchers in white lab coats were busy operating the console in front of the screen. They simply nodded at Xia Xiu's arrival, and then began to process the various data in their hands. It seems that [Doomsday Clock]

After being pulled out, a huge pall was cast on the hearts of all the angels.

The ball of light continued to guide Xia Xiu to the end of the passage.

There, standing is a huge metal door, which is one of the core areas leading to the laboratory.

Pushing open the metal door, it feels like entering a mysterious time and space tunnel.

The inner walls of the laboratory are covered with smooth metal plates, and the clean environment is filled with complex circuits and equipment. A huge particle collider lies in the center of the laboratory. It is composed of dozens of ring magnets and particle detectors.

The composition is huge and complex.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Particle Collider...

Xia Xiu just glanced briefly and then looked away. The ball of light was still taking him forward, passing through the gates one after another. He did not know how many times he had to authenticate the permissions along the way.

After going through a long certification process, he was taken to the lowest area of ​​the management office.

This is a special observation room. This observation room is made of thick glass. At the top of the observation room, a huge circular skylight sheds beams of red light, shining on the constantly beating heart inside the observation room.

"Red Heart".

Inside the observation room, a huge red round object is beating powerfully. Its diameter is as high as thirty meters, like a huge heart, emitting a fascinating light.

On the surface of the round object, red light is constantly surging, just like the beating of a heart. Each beat releases strong energy fluctuations. The light flows on the round surface, forming countless colorful patterns, as if telling a story

What a secret.

A researcher in his early sixties stood in the observation room. Different from the researchers outside who were wearing neat white research clothes and looked focused and capable, this old man looked wrinkled in his research clothes and had a lot of stains on them.

There were stains, and he was holding a small wine bottle in his right hand, and he also smelled of alcohol.

When Xia Xiu was looking at the heart, the old man turned his head and asked:

"[Gaia], isn't it beautiful?"

As time goes by, his Mediterranean hairstyle reveals a light silvery white color. His face is engraved with traces of time, and wrinkles intertwined into a somewhat cynical face. His eyes with black-rimmed glasses are shining brightly.

Xia Xiu's golden eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that he would meet the people in the decision-making meeting here in advance, and it was the old man in front of him who triggered the second expansion pack.

0-03: Philosophical scientist, all-seeing one, initiator of apocalyptic deterrence.

"Yeah, very beautiful." Xia Xiu simply replied.

0-03 continued to look at the blond young man in front of him, and then asked in a calm tone astonishingly:

"Are you Eden's illegitimate son outside?"

"·····"

This question left Xia Xiu speechless for a while, and he replied:

"Eden is a think tank and cannot have children."

"Who knows? I have decided on many strange artificial intelligence issues; I also asked Eden if it could have children on its own, and it didn't say it couldn't."

"It's normal for it to ignore you." Xia Xiu couldn't help but shake his head. If he were Eden, he wouldn't want to embarrass this person.
