The Path Toward Heaven

Under the unimaginable technical means of ancient civilizations, there must be no dark matter on this planet, and it is impossible for those spores to remain active after so many years. The problem is that there may be some sleeping monsters in some extreme environments deep under the planet. The most troublesome thing is those dark bacteria and viruses called blood thumbs, which are likely to still survive in some places.

Those blood thumbs are extremely small and difficult to see with the naked eye. Even the Starship Realm powerhouses of the Galaxy Alliance, without advanced protective equipment, would have difficulty resisting their infestation.

After the incident at the military building, everyone knew that Jing Jiu was a formidable strong man, but he was the chief adviser of the military and had the highest authority, so naturally he also received the strictest protection.

He didn't wear any protective measures, and flew towards the city not far away, startling the officers in the ring base. It didn't take long for the siren to sound, and several armed mechas equipped with special suits were launched into the air, accompanied by air waves and flying dust, ready to chase him.

Looking at this scene, Shen Yunbu slightly raised his eyebrows, signaling that there is no need to worry.

When the sound of the piano sounded again, he stepped into the air, turned into a gust of wind, passed through the protective cover, and quickly disappeared into the distant city.

...

...

There are no tall buildings and neon lights in the city.

In those floating island-like buildings, there are only dark streets and black corpses everywhere.

Those black corpses still maintain the shape of countless years ago, looking a little frightening, reflecting the light of distant and dim stars, like a real picture in hell.

Jing Jiu didn't look at these, nor did he look at the remains of ancient civilization left in those buildings, but looked up at the sky.

More than ten sword lights came to him through the dark street, and the light condensed into a figure.

Shen Yunbu said: People in the research institute don't know that there are still a lot of blood thumbs on this planet, but the officers at the base know.

Jing Jiu hummed.

After he came to this city, he quickly felt the existence of those dark and cold tiny lives, and knew that it should be the so-called blood thumb.

Those lives were indeed too small to be seen, and even harder to be discovered, but they could not escape his sword sense perception.

When I first came to 857, I was as confident as you are now, but I was infected. My right hand started to blacken, so I had to cut it off with a sword and replace it with a mechanical arm. Later, I dealt with these ghosts more and more. I found it a bit troublesome, so I changed my body all over again, so I don't have to care about it now, not to mention it's really satisfying.

Shen Yunbu raised his beautiful hands and admired them for a moment in the dim light of the stars, then asked, What about you? Why aren't you worried?

Thinking about the battle in the military building, Jing Jiu thought that this was the case.

Shen Yun looked at Jing Jiu's face, and after looking at it for a while, sighed: That's right, your body must be special too.

There is no dark matter on this planet, and those spores have no vitality. Even if there is, Jing Jiu is not worried about being contaminated by darkness.

There was a bloody thumb floating in the dust earlier, he deliberately let it fall on his hand, felt it for a moment, and then shattered it with sword intent.

With Blood Thumb's piercing and dipping abilities, it was impossible to break his skin.

Tan Zhenren and Cao Yuan, who ascended from the Chaotian Continent, don't have to worry about these problems after their bodies have been transformed with immortal energy.

If that god really wanted to design Chaotian Continent as a laboratory, then at least he succeeded in this respect.

It is somewhat difficult to understand that Shen Yunbu is the son of Patriarch Qingshan, and his status in the Galaxy Alliance is like a prince. He knows many things, such as Chisong Zhenren brought a battleship to pick him up, but he doesn't know the observations and studies conducted on his body by the Stargate Base Laboratory, and he doesn't know why.

Shen Yunbu followed his gaze to the sky and asked, What are you looking at?

Jing Jiu thought about what Lian Sanyue said, and said, Look at the sun.

Looking from the battleship, the color of the star is almost completely black.

At this time, when viewed from the surface of the planet, the star is slightly brighter, more like a gray color.

Ash is the meeting of light and dark.

The light is the star itself, and the black is the spores covering the surface of the star.

The surface temperature of the star is not high enough, those dark spores have not been burned, and they still stay there after losing their vitality, and it has been hundreds of thousands of years. Those dark spores lost their vitality, drifted away from planets and battleships, and were carried away by the star's gravity, gradually covering the surface of the star. How many people died in this galaxy hundreds of thousands of years ago?

Hundreds of millions or billions?

Most of the star's light and heat radiation has been blocked. Why can this planet persist until now? The temperature on the surface is still suitable, and the ruins are still intact. Not to mention that it hasn't turned into a cold and extinguished ice and snow world, and even those lifeless lakes haven't frozen?

The use of geothermal heat at a near-perfect level is only one aspect, and the giant energy furnace left by ancient civilizations is the most important reason. The research institute of the Alliance Academy of Sciences on this planet is far superior to the laboratories of the Stargate base in terms of level and scale. What those scientists and engineers have to do is to understand, analyze, learn, and imitate these achievements left by ancient civilizations, and then transform them into technological achievements of new humans, such as battleship shields, and there are many mysterious weapons for the military.

The scientific and technological strength of the Galaxy Alliance has advanced by leaps and bounds. It took only a few thousand years to develop to the level it is today, because of the discovery of this planet back then.

The label of this planet is 857, which is the 857th planet with remains of ancient civilization discovered by new humans.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, planet 857 was first swallowed by the sea of ​​dark matter.

Numerous dimensional space cracks appeared in the city and underground, and dark matter spewed out silently, changing the whole world.

Flowers, plants, trees, birds, beasts and human beings have all become terrible monsters.

Human beings suffered heavy casualties, and the fleet that came to support was also infected, and the entire planet and even near space became a terrifying hell.

In the end, the ancient civilization could only make a difficult decision to use some kind of weapon to wipe out all life on planet 857.

When the ancient civilization sealed off this planet and used secret weapons, there should still be many humans surviving on the surface and underground of the planet.

Those humans are dead too, like bugs.

Then, the planet was completely sealed off.

In recent years, the Galaxy Alliance has discovered many planets inhabited by ancient civilizations, and only planet 857 is so completely preserved, especially the core area of ​​the city.

Humans at that time still had hope, and wanted to find a way to defeat the sea of ​​dark matter through research.

Later, human beings no longer had hope, and the planets swallowed by the sea of ​​​​dark matter would be directly abandoned, and so many resources would not be used to save them.

Jing Jiu looked away and looked at the city.

The whole city was shrouded in a protective cover, the air was absolutely still, and there would be no wind for many years, but today, with the arrival of him and Shen Yunbu, there was a breeze.

The breeze blows up the black spores in the streets and buildings, and slowly dances around.

The architectural style of the city is difficult to describe in words. I don’t know if it should be called ancient style or interstellar style. It is more like the exhibits in modern art museums. In fact, this planet and this city are exhibits left to future generations by ancient civilizations, including those black corpses of course.

As the breeze blew past, a tree collapsed to the ground, turning into a puff of black light smoke, turning into countless dead spores and floating around.

Jing Jiu's gaze followed the spores away, and suddenly said, There are some species missing.

The monsters transformed from insects are scales, the infested animals are half tails, plants are ash wood, microorganisms are haemophilus, and humans are progenitors.

Similar things can be seen on the snowfields of Chaotian Continent, such as snow beetles, snow worms, and the humanoid bodyguards of Xue Ji. So what is Xue Ji?

What are the many alien demons he encountered after ascension, and those monsters waving black tentacles?

More importantly, what happened to that extremely powerful and terrifying monster called the brood by the Galaxy Alliance?

Is there other life in the universe?

Those beings are so powerful that they will become broods after being infiltrated by the sea of ​​dark matter?

Jing Jiu is very interested in this kind of thing, which is very rare for him.

Shen Yunbu knew what he was thinking, because he had the same thought when he first came into contact with this knowledge when he was a child.

Unfortunately, human beings are still alone. We can be sure that there is no intelligent life like us in this group of galaxies. As for whether there will be any other galaxies... Shen Yunbu looked at the night sky: The destination chosen by those fugitives hundreds of thousands of years ago is over there, but those guys must have died in the long and hopeless journey.

This is the edge of the local group of galaxies. The stars in the night sky that planet 857 can see are not very dense, and it is difficult to call it a sea of ​​stars.

Especially when facing away from the Local Group of galaxies, it is pitch black.

Jing Jiu was silent for a while, then said, We still have to go and have a look.
