Deep in the earth, there is an underground lake with a diameter of more than ten miles. The outer layer of magma and the inner layer of frozen water meet the yin and yang. The surrounding walls are covered with exotic flowers and plants, emitting brilliant five-color light.
This is one of the 365 orifices of the earth. It is the main connection channel between the aura of heaven and earth in the mantle and the aura on the ground. Therefore, it has also become the foothold of this month’s War Temple projected from the void. It is far from the last time. Thirty years passed between the settlements.
When Zhao Qing carried the crystal jade staff and other trophies and turned into a golden sword rainbow and flew away from the northwest region, the soft green light in the majestic Temple of War on the lonely rocky island in the center of the earth's orifice had dimmed. , setting off the star map on the top of the temple, revealing silver light spots.
This circular star map shows thousands of bright stars, among which a dozen are of extremely large proportions. They are located in the inner circle with the sun as the center. They are the sun, moon and several major planets in the solar system. Upon closer inspection, they are actually moving slowly along light arcs of different thicknesses.
In the activated state, the star map on the top of the palace began a real-time simulation of the stars in the sky. The accuracy was indicated by a variety of professional measurement methods. A stream of flowing data flickered, not only describing the things that ordinary astronomers are familiar with. There are Sanyuan and Twenty-Eight Constellations, as well as countless other constellations, many of which are not found in classic records.
As the star map rotates, the entire sea of stars shines brightly. The inner circle is enlarged and the outer circle is reduced, showing a picture of the Milky Way with the solar system as the center. Not only is it magnificent and colorful, but the amount of data is also unimaginable. It is in huge contrast to the plain and simple stone palace.
Under the shroud of starlight, you can see a line of large seals carved from top to bottom on the huge wall in the palace. The distance between the beginning and the end is at least thirty feet, and each character is about ten feet square. It reads: "Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat all creatures as stupid dogs." .
There is no doubt that it can project such complex changes in the stars. The stone wall is still engraved with the seal script of the Zhou Dynasty, but it is much older than Guangchengzi. The origin of the War Temple must have a mysterious secret, and even involves To the existence of another similar universe.
Turn your sight to the right of Kuisu Qi, which is the northernmost point of Kuisu. You can see a hazy spindle-shaped bright spot there. After zooming in, you will find that the bright spot has a structure similar to that of the Milky Way. According to the name of Tianmo Cangzhu's personal combination with the War Temple database , is called "Kuisu Beizengganyi" or "Kuisu Great Nebula" (that is, the Andromeda Galaxy).
That's right, the ancient person in the Temple of War, except Guangchengzi, is the true ancestor of the Demon Sect, the "Heavenly Demon" Cang Gu. He was an extraordinary talent during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, but he somehow survived to more than 700 years later. today.
At this moment, he woke up from his dormant state, integrated his thoughts into the information center in the light source above, controlled and mobilized the star map displayed in real time on the top of the palace, and suddenly enlarged the area where the "Kuisu Nebula" was located. , making it occupy half of the entire star map.
Starting from a more conspicuous bright star on the edge of the Kuisiu Nebula, a faint dotted line extends straight towards the direction of the Milky Way. A slowly moving black spot on the dotted line has spanned nearly half of the interstellar distance, and the dotted line in front of the black spot The points are obviously much denser than the rear.
"Is it really accelerating? It only involves ordinary mortals who have not transcended the fate of positive space. Prophet Kuixing can calculate their approximate future in an instant... Therefore, the development of purely material science is meaningless and will only Let the demise of human civilization come early."
When she saw the scene on the star map that represented the acceleration of Kuixing's spaceship midway, Cang Cu's eyes suddenly darkened, her soul seemed to be moving from the outside in, hiding in a secret place in her heart, and she suddenly let out a long sigh, Turning his head to look at Guangchengzi's body, which looked like a statue, he opened his mouth and broke the silence that had existed for hundreds of years in the Temple of War.
The great power from other universes who built the Temple of War, although his cultivation was unfathomable to the extreme, and because he was once a human being, he set up a series of shelters for the earth, and left a message in the temple stating that aliens Intelligence that people will invade;
But maybe he couldn't fully analyze the rules of this universe in a short period of time, or he felt that humans on earth needed to be tempered before they could achieve great achievements. In short, the other party chose to leave after making arrangements casually, and the strength of the means left behind was quite limited.
Therefore, Guangchengzi, who has attained the "Broken King Kong", as the original discoverer of the Temple of War, is the person in charge of transmitting information between the two realms. He aims to use the resident immortal body as a medium to break the war at critical moments. Open the void to attract cultivators from the "heaven realm" to descend to the earth;
But in the battle to ambush the Kuixing probe, they also paid a huge price. They absorbed the memory fragments that escaped when the enemy's soul was scattered thousands of miles away, and obtained vital information to deal with the doomsday catastrophe.
In order to get an extra chance of survival in this catastrophe that may destroy the world, Guangchengzi obtained the alien memory. Its significance can be imagined. Everyone who has participated in the civilization rescue plan over the past generations finally understood that in addition to astronomy, More detailed intelligence besides common sense and star map monitoring.
It is also because of the information in these dozen memories that the salvation organization, which was founded by Guangchengzi, Xuanyuan Huangdi, Ning Fengzi and other Taoist ancestors more than 3,000 years ago, and has developed to its heyday through the Yu, Xia and Shang Dynasties, has ushered in a new era. A huge change occurred, and there were differences in concepts.
The reason is very simple. Just as Zhao Qing expected, after a tragic defeat, everyone discovered that the extraterritorial demons they named the "Kui Xing people" civilization were ridiculously powerful. They had basically unified the scale of the Milky Way as early as a million years ago. The even larger Kuisiu Nebula had tens of millions of colonial stars within it, and there was an insurmountable gap in strength with the Earthlings who were still in the Bronze Age at that time.
According to the common sense of the dozen or so Kuixing explorers, not to mention the regular army of a colonial star, even a small city's escort team has the ability to wipe out a continent. Compared with being surpassed like them, The exploration ship with the light speed engine occupying most of the space is superior in firepower.
As for the level of individual combat power, unless they have reached the level of supreme cultivation comparable to that of a pulsating variable star such as the Great Prophet or the Supreme Head of State, they are far less than the technological weapons that match their status and wealth;
Under normal circumstances, since individual combat power only increases the control accuracy in the face of individual weapons and ship-based weapons, Kuixing people usually focus on spiritual practice only because of their society's demand for divination ability, and do not focus on physical training. Reinforcement is not taken seriously.
A master-level force like the expedition team can assemble a priceless hyperlight engine and travel across millions of light-years to explore the galaxy. They are already quite good in terms of wealth, status, and cultivation, but their mental strength alone is not enough. The Celestial Grand Master, who is inferior to the earth, is far stronger than the common people of Kuixing civilization.
The greatest emphasis on divination, or the ability of individual consciousness to predict the future, is the biggest feature of Kuixing civilization. It ranges from eating and courting, buying houses and land, investing in adventures, to selecting sites for planetary transformation plans, and the direction of construction and development of a star system. , trade wars between interstellar giants, and even major decisions of the entire civilization must be included in the mystical calculation process combined with multiple types of big data to gain heartfelt recognition from the Kuixing people.
After scientific research, due to the close connection between consciousness, time and destiny, the divination of Kuixing practitioners is not feudal superstition, but a true grasp of a certain possibility in the future. It may be interfered by other diviners and extraordinary powers, but Generally speaking it is quite effective.
Therefore, with the development of society and the continuous improvement of scientific and technological level, Kuixing civilization established a multi-level parliamentary system that divided classes based on spiritual cultivation and divination ability. The top ruling class was revered as "Prophet" and "Great Prophet" , and selected the supreme head of the entire civilization among multiple great prophets in rotation.
In order to predict the future more accurately, Kuixing's prophets will even spend thousands of years to completely transform a star system from the outside to the inside in a specified way, and then forcibly destroy the star in its center to observe the planetary nebula in detail. diffusion situation, from which we can interpret the future development direction of their civilization.
However, even if the destruction of the star system is used as a medium for divination, when it comes to the distant future and the complex and ever-changing galaxy landscape, the results calculated by each great prophet are different and similar, making it difficult to ensure that they are truly effective, and they often create conflicts with each other. Disagreement.
"The cause of a war that spanned a long distance of hundreds of billions of miles was simply the divination result of a 'prophet' from the opposing race, who believed that if millions of galactic civilizations, including humans, continued to develop normally, one of them There is a chance to unify the entire galaxy within a hundred thousand years, threatening the survival of our own civilization."
"It sounds ridiculous, but this is the strong foundation for advanced civilization to control matter with spirit..."
"According to the information left behind in the Temple of War, in another universe where humans also exist, the creatures in the universe are divided into nine levels according to the way they absorb and use energy. Primitive humans absorb energy with their bodies and belong to the lowest level of creatures."
"They had the opportunity to evolve to a higher level, but unfortunately they embarked on the path of no return of material civilization. As a result, they encountered higher-level enemies when they left the galaxy. They were simply vulnerable."
Heavenly Demon Cang Can sighed. When he entered the Temple of War, he learned that the Kuixing people had launched a movement to explore the Milky Way and destroy the local civilization in the past ten thousand years. It was for such an unexpected reason. He was actually shocked for a while. Knowing that human beings Small in the starry sky.
The reason why it was just an expedition, rather than a formal large-scale military invasion, was due to the opposition of several veteran great prophets. Divination predicted that this move might lead to unfavorable results, limiting the powerful force of the Kuixing people across the galaxy. Only a small number of die-hard fans who believe more in the previous prophet will take the risk of smuggling out of the country with the potential support of the prophet's power and launch an invasion of weak civilizations in the name of exploration.
Distrusting the great prophet whose status is equivalent to that of the Supreme Head of State, but preferring to believe the prediction results of an ordinary prophet, goes against the cultural customs of the Kuixing people. This naturally has another reason, and that is driven by potential benefits.
As early as when the Kuixing people first entered the interstellar civilization, the prophets calculated that although the Kuisiu Nebula was larger than the Milky Way, its aura concentration was only about one-third of the latter, and its aura activity was 20 to 30% higher. , unfortunately, it is currently showing a gradual downward trend.
Overall, the activity of the Kuisiu Nebula is getting lower and lower. Although it still maintains an aura with a concentration and activity exceeding that of the galactic center in the core area, it entered a stage of irreversible aura decline hundreds of millions of years ago. Perhaps in time, It can only be saved by annexing a few dwarf galaxies with abundant spiritual energy.
Obviously, in order to obtain more spiritual energy resources, the Kuixing people, whose civilization and technology have been stagnant for a long time, should theoretically invade the galaxy to become more prosperous and upgrade many people's classes.
In the face of major interests, despite repeated warnings from several great prophets and a large number of interstellar bans issued by them, breaking into the Milky Way for exploration, and even colonial expansion, has become the dream of many Kuixing people in the new era;
In the end, the prophecy of a certain prophet turned it into a large-scale trend of thought, and a large number of private exploration organizations emerged to take action, and they were assisted by a radical little prophet under the prophet.
After discovering that an inconspicuous expedition ship had lost contact with the earth, the expedition organization to which the expedition ship belonged had average divination skills and was not too concerned about it. It only suspected that there was a malfunction or someone was cheating, so it reported it to its superiors as usual. A little prophet, but he has been highly valued by the other party;
After a joint divination review by several young prophets, they improved the potential rating of Earth's civilization, allowing the organization to send a main fleet stationed near a pulsating variable star on the edge of the nebula to detect detailed information about the Earth, instead of letting it be no better than before. An advanced ordinary stowaway on an expedition ship arrived at his door.
Perhaps the strength of this main fleet is less than one thousandth of the total power controlled by a little prophet, but compared to ordinary exploration spacecraft that unload high-risk weapons to facilitate smuggling, regardless of the number of its personnel, the strongest individual There is an extremely huge gap in cultivation and the firepower of the battleships, enough to make the earth's civilization unable to resist.
The only thing that can be regarded as an advantage is the advanced practice system passed down by the Temple of War. In many aspects, it is not inferior to the spiritual training of the Kuixing civilization, but it does not have the convenience of relevant technological assistance.
Especially the "Illustrated Book of the God of War", the supreme magical power created by the great power of the outer universe, is divided into four major cultivation stages: stardust, nebula, star transformation, and star sea. You only need to complete the stardust chapter to try to break the void and enter. Go to the subspace that is beyond the ordinary universe and begin to practice the more advanced Nebula Chapter.
Except for a few cultivators with low qualifications who were reluctantly broken and ascended, the high-level cultivators of the earth's past and present are currently in the stage of cultivation in the Nebula chapter. Among them, the top geniuses such as Guangchengzi and Xuanyuan Huangdi are each in "The God of War" There are other innovative achievements based on "Records", which have reached the pinnacle of this stage.
The "star change" above the "nebula" is somewhat related to the pulsating variable star mentioned many times before. It focuses on turning consciousness into a vast nebula, wrapping it with a huge amount of heaven and earth vitality to shape it into one. A periodically pulsating variable star.
…
The so-called pulsating variable star is a star whose envelope opacity changes due to the semi-ionization zone, causing the interior of the star to expand and contract periodically, and the brightness also changes accordingly. Its radius change between expansion and contraction can reach tens of millions of miles. So huge.
If the pulsating variable star is regarded as a huge practitioner, it can "vomit" for several days at a time. It can swallow up to hundreds of billions of times the volume of the earth's vitality, forming a natural super-giant vitality reactor, releasing several The nearly immeasurable majestic energy appears extremely bright from the perspective of vitality radiation, and can be called a "lighthouse" at the level of a galaxy.
In the Milky Way, there are about one hundred thousand known pulsating variable stars, each of which is marked on the star map of the Temple of War. Among them, "Cepheus", the closest to the earth, the influence of a single star on aura The range is as high as hundreds of light-years, which is enough to significantly increase the aura concentration of adjacent star systems.
In a galactic sense, although the effect of pulsating variable stars on the aura environment is several orders of magnitude worse than that of supermassive black holes, it still has an extraordinary effect, stronger than neutron stars and small-mass black holes that have limited influence on aura due to their small size. Much more.
Generally speaking, the energy released per unit volume of ordinary stars is not as efficient as that of lower organisms, and higher civilizations do not pay much attention to it. However, for pulsating variable stars that are rare in number and fully react with aura, they will be transformed into super-light speeds. The importance of the engine fuel production base is evident.
The reason why the super-light engine can exceed the speed of light is that it compresses and purifies a huge amount of the vitality of heaven and earth with mutually repelling properties, and concentrates it on one point to forcefully tear apart the void and open the passage into subspace. The principle is roughly the same as that of Shattered Void. .
To put it simply, because of the special structure of the pulsating variable star that is adapted to the vitality of heaven and earth, it can, in a sense, be equivalent to the mass-produced artifact of the Broken Ascended One.
Therefore, although the variable stars created during the "star change" period will certainly not be as huge as real pulsating variable stars, as long as they can progress from the "nebula" stage to the key level of "star change", it will be A truly new world, directly catching up with the "little prophet" or even "prophet" level of the Kuixing civilization, thus having the ability to individually compete with powerful fleets.
After confirming the astonishing strength of the future enemy, although a considerable number of ascended people were unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices and just wanted to escape to the depths of the void as soon as possible to stay away from danger, thereby preserving the fire of civilization, several sages represented by Hirosei but still decided to support the strategy of resistance;
According to the fleet sailing speed monitored by the Temple of War, the main force of the exploration organization maintains a straight line traveling at about 800 times the speed of light. It will arrive in 1,500 years. After such a long time, they may not have the opportunity to break through to a higher realm. .
The development of Daxing science and technology like Zhao Qing can easily be calculated by Kuixing Prophet from thousands of miles away. This can further improve the enemy's assessment of the earth's potential and issue orders to speed up the voyage or even increase the number of troops. The effect is far less than that of self-contained counterattacks. Advanced training plan for divination ability.
It was precisely because of the discovery of such a change that the demon Cangzhu interrupted his retreat to try to prove the "Broken King Kong" practice. He controlled the star map on the top of the palace to detect the enemy's arrival early, and couldn't help but express his inner thoughts. sigh.
He was originally quite dissatisfied with Guangchengzi and others for placing all their hopes on the "Star Transformation Chapter" of "The Catalog of the God of War" which would take tens of thousands of years to be completed, so he finally decided to implement another radical plan. determination.
"Cang Qi, actually you don't have to think too badly about things. You must know that the prerequisite for entering super-light sailing is that the consciousness can withstand the erosion of distorted time in the void. The higher the multiple of super-light speed, the stronger the consciousness of the crew. The requirements are getting higher.”
Just as Cang Can was controlling the star chart to observe the dotted track and estimate how fast the fleet would accelerate, Guang Chengzi's extremely slow voice suddenly sounded deep in his heart:
"If there is not enough intensity of consciousness to keep the frequency of spiritual energy consistent with the strange time and space, the spacecraft in the subspace will be permanently lost in the depths of the void due to the strangeness of the quantum observation effect."
"If only some people have the intensity of consciousness that matches the speed to maintain the existence of the spacecraft, the soul lifespan of those passengers who cannot meet the requirements will pass quickly, and they will die after traveling a certain distance."
"Therefore, once the enemy fleet forcibly speeds up beyond the limit of most of the crew, the number of people arriving in the first batch will be greatly reduced, causing the Kuixing people with insufficient mental cultivation to separate another fleet and move the fleet that is traveling at the same speed. They are left behind.”
Although it was only four short paragraphs, because Guangchengzi's voice transmission speed was so slow that it actually took more than half an hour to finish them all;
It is "the essence of the supreme way, graceful and graceful. The extreme of the supreme path, dim and silent. Ignore and listen, embrace the spirit to be still, and the form will straighten itself. It must be quiet and clear, no need to work on your form, no shaking of your essence , If you camp without thinking, you can live forever."
Knowing that the reason why Guangchengzi's words were astonishingly slow was because his consciousness activities were slowed down a thousand times while practicing the "Secret of Immortality" he created, which corresponded to the "Xingyun Chapter", Cang Chu was not surprised by this, and Yiyan detected After looking at the black dot on the dotted line, I found that it seemed to be slowly dividing into two smaller black dots.
According to the part about subspace navigation in the basic education of the Kuixing people, the consciousness intensity of ordinary people in primitive civilizations when they were first evolved is just suitable for the speed of light in stable positive space. After that, every time the intensity of consciousness doubles, they can withstand one more Time distortion caused by times the speed of light.
Therefore, regardless of the rules that the builders of the Temple of War come from other universes, any interstellar civilization that develops a hyper-light engine must have a practice system that can enhance spirituality.
Because Guangchengzi's speaking speed was too slow, when Cang Can heard the other party finally finished speaking, he had already estimated the subspace speed that the first batch of fleets leaving only the elite cultivators would reach, which was about Fifteen hundred times the speed of light, which means it will officially arrive in eight hundred years.
"You mean, it might be easier to deal with two armies separately after seven hundred years than to fight their combined force at once? But this just doesn't take into account that the enemy can add additional troops at any time. .”
Guangchengzi did not agree with the other party's remarks because he was the founder of the organization. Tianmo Cangchu made a reasonable analysis of this and pointed out the biggest problem:
Even if he is lucky enough to defeat the first fleet composed of elite explorers, Kuixing Prophet can use this to re-evaluate the strength of the earth, promote the theory of galactic threats, and dispatch a truly elite regular army to invade.
In any case, the more information that Prophet Kuixing gets about the earth, the greater the intensity of the enemy he will face in this crisis and catastrophe. This is the basis for the judgment made by Cang Chu, who had secretly fought against the Confucian forces for many years. .
Also based on the elements of this intelligence, Cang Chu launched a special experiment hundreds of years ago that was very different from the orthodox resistance plan. He hoped to use the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique" he created as a blueprint. Gradually realize a grand plan that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Two months ago, Zhao Qing received the attention of Guangchengzi. In the test of integrating his mind into the fireball, he was considered to have the potential to complete the "Star Transformation Chapter" of "The God of War". He had already booked the identity of the main force of the future resistance army. Although it was caused by the development of science adverse consequences;
However, Cang Can, who learned about this incident, did not have a bad feeling towards her because of this. She believed that Zhao Qing was guilty of not knowing the inside story. On the contrary, he recognized her idea of educating the people and her actions to enhance the potential of outside civilization, and felt that she might We can take this opportunity to change the situation of high-level monks shrinking in the void in one fell swoop.
However, Cang Gu calls himself a demon, and his actions often run counter to mainstream thought and cannot be tolerated by ordinary people. If he really leaves the Temple of War and sneaks into the outside world to launch his deviant plan, will he conflict with the ruling Zhao Qing? Woolen cloth?
