Chapter 152: Heaven is Under Our Feet

"And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. God saw that light was good, and He separated light from darkness. God called the light day and the darkness night...... This is the first day. ”

"God said, 'Let there be air between the waters, and divide the waters up and down.'" And God made the air, and took out the water that was below the air and the water that was above the air. God called the air heaven...... It's the second day. ”

"And God said, Let the waters of the whole world be gathered together in one place, and the dry land will be exposed. And so it came to pass. And God called the dry land the earth, and the gathering place of the waters the sea...... It was the third day. ”

"And God said, Let there be a body of light in heaven, which may divide day and night, and make signs, and set seasons, days, and years, and shine in heaven and on the earth. And so it came to pass. So God made two great lights, the greater over the day, the younger over the night, and the stars, and set them in the heavens, and shone them on the earth, and ruled over the day and the night, and made light and dark...... It was the fourth day. ”

“......”

"On the seventh day the work of God's creation is finished,"

- The Old Testament of the Bible: The Book of Genesis

......

The year 18741 of the Galactic Calendar, the Second Republic Era.

"Among the stars, there is a race that gathers here to cheer for a long project. ”

In the midst of countless eyes, a voice spoke.

"Universe, what a big word. We are so small compared to this ancient universe, compared to its range of 93.4 billion light-years, and compared to its 13.7 billion years of history. I have tried my best to carve out among the stars, but compared to the vastness of the universe, we are still a small species that has not yet come out of this galaxy cluster. ”

"Yes, we are small, and even at this moment in time, we still have to uphold this awe. ”

"In this universe, we are so small that everything we have is as small as a child's toy compared to the universe. Everything we have has benefited from the omission between the fingers of the universe, and everything we have created is a poor imitation of everything in the universe. ”

"See, the stars have been shining for billions of years, long before the birth of mankind, and they will continue to shine after the end of humanity. Human life is not even a moment of star, which is something that human beings have understood since ancient times. ”

"However, it is the people, not the stars, who recognize the eternity of the stars and the moments of the world. ”

The voice continued.

"Think back to the distant past, when a creeping animal migrated across the planets, weak and ignorant, running for a meal, and now we are walking among the stars on our feet. ”

"They used to look up at the stars, and now we have cast them. ”

"The universe has carved these many stars for billions of years, but the grand world, which was not created even with the vastness of the universe and the antiquity of the universe, was born at the hands of perishable species such as us. ”

"O small human, perishable human, be proud of it. ”

"Universe, have you ever seen that among these stars there is a tiny species that has created miracles that you have not been able to create? At this moment, we have transcended the mortal seed and glimpsed the realm that belongs to the Creator......"

Behind the figure was the blue star with a radius of 40 million kilometers, the ring that built around the huge blue star, something that would not be seen anywhere in the universe.

A huge thing with a radius of more than 10 billion kilometers is slowly spinning.

Circular world.

After 15,000 galactic years, the miracle beyond the imagination of life was finally born.

Above the inner wall of the ring world are looming clouds, faintly visible flashing thunder, and below the clouds are blue oceans and yellow land. In some places, you can still see ships carrying formwork parts from continents and oceans, installing areas that have not yet been paved.

It is an incredibly large annular world with a surface area of more than 1 trillion square kilometers, a trillion times the size of the Earth and nearly 100 million times the size of the Sun.

To build it, humanity exhausted 75 star systems, extinguished 4 stars with near-eternal lifespans, 15,000 galactic years, and thousands of generations. The Supreme Council of Science was dissolved, the First Reich took over, the First Reich was destroyed, and the Second Republic took over, and it was at this moment that this supreme glory was finally created.

A giant star control device with a radius of 50 million kilometers controls a blue giant star called Sumor, carefully regulating every trace of energy taken from Sumor, and all the energy is directed to this overly vast world, turning into sunlight and heat to the earth.

Sunshine, rain, colorful glow, land, sea......

Everything in the circular world is created by human hands.

Humanity should be proud of this, because what the universe has not been able to create in tens of billions of years, was born in the hands of a small species.

It transcends any star in the universe, whether it is a solid or gaseous planet, a star, or a black hole, and nothing compares to this man-made space structure.

There can be countless planets, countless stars, and countless black holes in the universe...... But such a circular world, even if you go through it several times, there is only one in the entire universe.

......

On top of a nearby spaceship, an old man stared at the circular world not far away.

"Scholar, what are you looking at. ”

"I'm looking at the sky. ”

Overlooking the circular world beneath him, the scholar said slowly.

"Sky?"

Young people don't quite understand, what's so nice about the sky?

The scholar glanced at him and laughed.

"Zano, do you know what human attitude was towards the sky in the ancient earth era?"

The young man shook his head.

In this day and age, absolutely most people don't talk about the culture of the ancient earth era, and even if you ask what the ancient earth is, it's not very clear. Even if the vast majority of people have undergone genetic modification and implantation of processors in the brain, and have made great breakthroughs in the field of intelligence, knowledge that is not known is not known, and knowledge cannot be conjured out of thin air.

The scholar turned his head and looked at the ring world beneath him, staring at the floating clouds.

He whispered.

"In the ancient earth era, there was a high level of worship for the sky, and people believed that the sky was inhabited by gods. ”

"There is a myth and legend that God created the sky, the earth, the sea, the alternation of day and night, and so on in seven days. They believe that God is the sovereign who dwells in heaven, dwells in a place called 'heaven', where perfection is perfect. Humanity was once cast out of heaven by God because of his mistakes. ”

"In the ancient earth era, people sought heaven and tried to enter heaven by all means. Some people at that time even used heaven to intimidate them, threatening that they would not be able to enter heaven without believing in the gods......"

This knowledge, which few people know now, was narrated by this scholar.

"So ......?"

After listening to this, the young man still didn't understand.

The scholar shook his head.

"Chano, you haven't realized yet, this scene is a bit like that. ”

With that, the scholar looked at the ring world and clouds beneath him.

There, strange creatures created by humans ran across the plains, and the scholar whispered as he looked down on them from above the clouds.

"Chano, humanity used to chase heaven, but unknowingly...... Heaven is already under our feet. ”

......

The birth of the circular world means the birth of a great era.

In just a thousand years, a large number of human beings from all directions in the stars have entered this heavenly world, and every day, new changes are taking place in the ring world.

Above this vast enough world, the number of human beings began to grow unlimitedly, with more people, more scholars, and more exchanges of unique ideas. Science, which had been stagnant, seems to be starting to make progress again.

Just as more than 10,000 years ago, Innanai had anticipated, a great deal of thought was taking shape as he wanted to see.

In the originally loose human world, a powerful and irreversible force suddenly appeared, and under the impetus of this force, with the ring world as the center, many human kingdoms around it were successively brought under the unity of the second republic.

Although the speed of light is still unsurpassable, and despite the cold and dead silence of this universe, the unity of humanity once again seems unstoppable.

At the same time, in a remote star field of the human world......

......

The solar system, the cradle of humanity, has long been abandoned.

The solar system that lost the Earth was no longer of much value, and the many wars that followed destroyed the birthplace of mankind, and finally, no one lived here anymore, and only occasionally some spaceships would pass by a scientific research site here to temporarily replenish supplies.

It should be peaceful, but now an event is about to change the fate of the universe......

In the wreckage of the original earth, there was a strange space-time tremor.

And in this strange space-time shock, a gap appeared in space-time, and a beautiful girl wearing an ancient robe and holding a delicate scepter stepped out of the gap and came to this universe from the abandoned old world.

His pale skin did not resemble that of a living person, and there was no luster in his dead white pupils, and in some places there were tiny snake scales.

The girl slowly glanced at the desolate scene around her, and as she looked at the wreckage of the earth, which had been shattered into countless pieces, her dead white pupils stopped, and then fell into a strange silence.
