Xiling Empire

Sudden exclaims from the command zone made everyone on the officer platform hold back, including Sandora, into a state of loss, but our sacrifice did not last long. The female hooligan, Bingtis, used her powerful Nervously resisting this shocking news and reacting to it for the first time, she exclaimed and rushed to the retaining wall on the edge of the officer's platform: "What !? Who is kidding me !?"

"It's not a joke!" Tavel made a sudden noise, her voice was excited, and she was equally overwhelmed with surprise. "It's really the mother star! Or ... there are ten mother stars, and the celestial bodies appearing here are impossible. Something else. "

Sandora finally reacted at this moment, and she hurriedly ordered: "Turn the picture over, I'll see what's going on."

The picture of the external monitor was quickly transferred to the officer's platform, and we finally saw the incredible scene: a dark-looking dark brown star suspended in a solitary dark space alone, its surface Pottery, and no signs of life at all, but the straight ravines and huge horror clefts scattered throughout the stars seem to contain amazing secrets. This planet is two times larger, or maybe more, than Earth, and we ca n’t be sure—because the planet has suffered a terrible and obvious astral catastrophe: it is almost fragmented, and the huge rift seems to be deep The Earth's core, some of the hollow holes running through the planet are terrible. These scars completely change the shape of the entire planet, so that we are not sure whether it has "loose" or collapsed because of this. But in any case, the planet remains intact. And visual inspection has been maintained for countless years.

Over this dark brown and nearly disintegrating planet, you can see a lot of floating black fragments. Some of these things should be the lithosphere that the planet has broken out, but some of them appear to be too regular. I suspect they are some kind of Man-made products, but probably because of the disaster that year, they can no longer see their original appearance.

Time can't change the form of this universe, so what is difficult to describe those artifacts can only be the impact of the end time.

I read the data from the probe and determined that the planet was at the end of one of the "sharp corners" of the big crack in the gate of the abyss. Remember the shape of the weird gate of the abyss? Narrow eyes shape. So there are two "sharp corners" at both ends. And the planet is about half a light-year away from the nearest point of the gate of the abyss, which is really close to the large crack with a total length of five light-years.

The probe, of course, also scanned the perimeter of the dark brown planet, trying to find the old sun or other planets in the parent star system. Ancient history records that the parent star galaxy also has a huge gaseous planet. It was an important source of energy when the Spirit people first stepped into the universe. But these significant things seem to be gone. The probe only found a pile of thoroughly cooled heavy elemental embers less than thirty astronomical units away from the dark brown planet. It used to be the Sun of the Spirit, but now it is just a pile of **** that has been extinguished for many years. Perhaps with the weird "stagnation" of this world, this pile of **** will suddenly reignite soon, and then the cycle will continue to annihilate, but we don't know much about the "stagnation" of this world, so we can only guess like this Nothing more.

At least for the most recent period of time that we can predict, we can't see the Spirit's sun burning again.

"This is the parent star? Can you be sure?" Bettis looked at the almost fragmented but barely condensed planet, "You haven't seen it yet-and the positions of the stars are not fixed, maybe It came from elsewhere. "

"This universe is in a stagnant state, and the position of the celestial body will not change much," Sandora grabbed my hand subconsciously, with a calm tone, but based on her hand strength, I judged that Her Majesty is absolutely not calm now. "There are no other celestial bodies here for several light years, and the ancient records left by the ancestors mentioned that the mother star and the abyss gate are adjacent, so it must be the mother star. By the way, the ancestors gave us some information about Record of the last moment of the mother star, I still remember ... Tavel, scan the internal structure of the planet, fast! "

Tavel went to work without saying a word, and soon the scan results of the dark brown star appeared in front of everyone, and I did not accidentally find something sufficient to prove his identity: traces of large-scale artificial transformation.

The entire planet has cracked everywhere as it can be seen on the surface. The huge rifts and hollows really reach the core of the earth. The power of the abyss makes the planet almost tear itself, but in the end it remains intact: because it is everywhere in the planet It's an amazingly huge alloy beam!

Huge supporting beams, superalloy cables, unidentified crusts, rock pillars, and fillers that are obviously different from the surrounding geological composition force the planet together. They are like earth pillars that support everything after the land collapse. Like the chain of the gods that has turned the tide after the world cracked, it has "stitched" the planet in a primitive, crude but atmospheric way. Almost a third of the structure of the entire planet has been completely separated from the surroundings, but those incredible artificial repair measures have bound them forcibly.

And we also found huge voids inside the planet. These voids may have been formed naturally, but they were also obviously artificially modified. All the voids were built with a solid shell on the inner layer and turned into a huge alloy cabin. Hollow beams are connected between the hollows. The dense network of alloy structures and shells can tell what it means at a glance: the fortress, the fortress after the end!

"Historical records indicate that the ancestors stubbornly resisted for a long time after the disaster, and some people vowed to die not to give up the mother star-even if the gate of the abyss is next to the mother star, they are not willing to give up this place. The power of the abyss shines on the mother On the planet, the earth cracked, and the rift valley deepened hundreds of meters every day. The planet was about to fall apart, so the ancestors repaired their planet with huge alloy beams and other things. The abyss can even destroy these repair measures themselves, so the ancestors I rebuilt everything over and over again. In the end, the entire parent star was almost transformed into a star fortress: the broken pieces of the planet were connected by alloy cables, and the hollows under the lithosphere were filled with warriors as if they were dead. The earth was covered over and over Cracked and re-added alloy armor over and over again. The garrison on the mother star did not retreat to death, and desperately intercepted the jets flowing from the gate of the abyss to all parts of the universe when the ark, and gained precious time for the ark fleet, until the All the troops died. Anthers once described it as: the mother star is beyond recognition, but until the last moment It is our home planet. "

Sandora silently recounted the record of the ancestors left by the ancestors, then gently let go of my hand: "Sorry, I'm a little excited."

I didn't care about it, just staring at the planet in space. The alloy armor on its surface has been completely peeled off. Perhaps the black fragments floating above the planet are the remains of these armors. There are signs of damage everywhere on the girders of the planet. The entire planet is truly beyond recognition. Even beyond recognition, it can no longer be called a natural celestial body, but it still stands in the vast space, guarding a pass closest to the gate of the abyss, and still seems to be glaring at the fissure.

As the ancestor left the sentence: The mother star is beyond recognition. But until the last moment. It's all our parent star.

The ancestors eventually withdrew from the world. Even the fragmented parent star has not been able to hold it, but I think ... they still hold it, because to this day. Until the fleet of the new empire docked in this universe, the position of this planet is still there, it is still the mother star of the spirit civilization!

"No one can take his position from a living Apostle of Spirits," Bettis said to himself suddenly, then lowered his eyes slightly. "You are such a muscle from the time of mortals, really ... Nothing to say. "

"So you can be sure that this is the mother star," Abyss Hei Ling looked at the plaguing vicissitude planet with some surprise, "how did it survive? It was obviously destroyed, but in the end ... it seemed to survive the entire planet and be inert. A moment when the abyss is completely transformed? "

"It can only be said that it is a miracle, everything is possible," Bingtis pouted, "and the resistance of the ancestors of the spirit also allowed the planet to persist for a long time. On the one hand, since the entire universe can persist until the transformation is completed, why can't a planet? It seems that this transformation is really painful ... "

"The other celestial bodies here did not seem to persist," Lin Xue looked at the report returned by the probe. "There is only the embers of a star nearby, and some thin materials that can no longer be distinguished from the remains of the stars or the air masses. There is only this solitary planet here. "

I thought about it and had a suggestion: "Perhaps there should be a memorial here or some other memorial sign. This is the place where the spiritual civilization originated, and there is nothing more special than it."

"It does require a special commemoration, but there is no need to build anything extra," Sandora shook her head. "The mother star itself is a monument. We just need to re-strengthen its structure and let it last forever. Of course, if the ancestors had other arrangements to listen to them after they returned, no one has more control over the planet than they do. "

Everyone on the scene had no objection, so things were set aside for the time being.

The engineering team is still collecting data from the gate of the abyss to test whether it can immediately serve as the "pier" of the carrying bridge, and the sleeping end needs a little time to activate and detect (after all, it has been dragged so far Road, and it is the only starter, you can't treat it carelessly), so we decided to go to the mother star first.

A shuttle was launched from the Empire, and all the commanders of the Royal Fleet, including Harlan, who was currently commanding the engineering unit, and Bela Villa, who was sleeping and improving, all came to prepare to land on the mother star. The silver aircraft made a full circle around this ancient planet twice the size of the earth before landing. I hope to find some traces of civilization on the surface. After all, it is in a stagnant state and many things will not die out. The last impact should not have completely stripped the entire planet's surface. Facts have proven that our guess is correct: there are indeed suspected artifacts on the surface of the mother star. Although there seems to be only one such surface remnant on the entire planet, and it has collapsed to the point where it can hardly be distinguished from the surrounding black earth, but Still found it.

This place is on the edge of a higher alluvial zone on the planet's surface. According to the surrounding terrain, it should have been a part of a certain coastline. It is impossible to verify who was stationed here. We can only confirm that there was a base here.

The high ground is a relatively flat area. The roughly trapezoidal open area can be seen artificial objects that are almost no different from the surrounding rocks. They seem to have been melted, and completely under the last impact and the long-term exposure of the abyss force. Without its original nature, if it is not too neatly distributed, I am afraid that no one would think that it would be related to the ruins of civilization. On some surfaces in the open ground, you can find melting metals that are almost fused with earth and rocks. This is all of the ruins, and all the ancestor relics of the planet exposed on the surface.

Sandora was the first to step off the shuttle, and she stood on the land where the ancestors once thrived and fought for. Surprised.

"From the day when the core of the mind started to work. I never expected that I would stand on the land of the original mother star one day," Sandora looked around at the desolate and desolate surrounding, and squatted a little unreasonably. A handful of coarse sand and dirt, watching them slowly slip between the fingers. "This is where we came from ... I ... The Apostles of the Spirit are not good at emotional thinking. But I think the mood is strange now. It is just a planet, a primitive battle fortress, why does it feel so so? wonderful?"

"It's not the planet itself that touches the heart. It's you remembering what was born from the planet at this moment," Bettis analyzed it professionally, and then looked up at space: there was gloom and darkness, the parent star system The sun and the gas giant planets on which the Spirits live are long gone. The only distant starlight that shines in the sky, and the light from the Empire fleet in orbit, and those distant starlights look They are all abnormal. They are skewed and distorted, forming a strange curve in space: because we are observing the stars through the field of twisted edge of the gate of the abyss. The corner of that huge crack can be seen from here. Even a small sharp corner occupies one-third of the sky. The starlight is twisted into a lace-like thing to outline the sharp corner. Fear of life.

Sandora recalled the ancient data again: "Historical records show that the first vision when the gate of the abyss was opened was the twisted starry sky. The ancestors found that all the stars in the sky were misplaced, and then they detected a star next to their star system. The huge distorted space is opening, and then the door of the abyss appears before the world, which permanently changes the scene of the stars that the mother star can look up-what we see now is what our ancestors saw in those years. "

"The same scene, it still looks like this in the eyes of future generations after so many years," Bingtis blinked and muttered in the spiritual connection. "Look, the gate of the abyss that destroyed the world that year ... actually you can shut it down by yourself. "

Sandola stared at her immediately: "Don't make such a joke, the whole fate of the void can rest on this gate."

As we lamented that we were actually standing on the ancestral star, Qiandan suddenly pointed at the sky and exclaimed in the spiritual connection: "Oh, what do you think it is !?"

I looked in the direction of my shallow fingers, and found that a light blue light cluster in the deep space was moving closer to the earth. It was a weird thing like an aerogel, and it emitted a much stronger starlight. The shape of the light is approximately ellipse, but the surface undulations can be deformed at any time. There should be no solid body in this light, but you can still see some bright light spots and lines walking inside it, indicating that it has a complex structure inside. . This strange thing does not know how far it is from the ground, but I instinctively think that it is not small, and it seems that this thing "swim" from space?

"Mothership, what's that light?" I immediately asked the Admiral, who was mooring in space.

"Your Majesty, we are examining it. This seems to be a spirit creature ... but unlike normal life forms, it should have the ability to jump in space. It suddenly appeared above the parent star, and now it is heading in your direction. To Stop it? "

"No, wait!" Sandora hurried to drink, then shocked. "Creature? Are you sure this is a creature?"

"Not quite sure," this time Tavill's voice came, "It's difficult to define what it really is, it's different from any life form we know, even different from spirit creatures ~ www. wuxiaspot.com ~ The universe has stagnated, and it does not theoretically produce new life ... but it does have a local evolution phenomenon, so it may produce some strange things. This light seems conscious, it adjusts the direction of flight itself, and We just bypassed the orbital station we just put out ... it might use the parent star as a foothold? In theory ... ah, there are more space signals! "

"Don't block here and let them come over," Sandora said inexplicably. "I want to see what this is. By the way, the fleet is invisible to avoid, don't scare these ... creatures."

The glow of the fleet in the sky dimmed immediately, and all the ships quickly disappeared completely into space, and then we saw an amazing scene:

Countless light blue light clusters jump out of the depths of the space, floating lightly and agilely towards the mother earth like a swimming fish. When these light clusters become clusters, we can easily see the characteristics of their biomes: they Forming a formation, chasing each other, and continuously drawing a series of complex trajectories from the fall of space to the ground, this is obviously a conscious move.

These strange things like cloud and mist did not directly touch the ground. Eventually, they hovered at a height of hundreds of meters above the ground. At first, they were scattered discretely, but soon they gathered more and more. The sky is shrouded in them! (To be continued ...)
