The first volume of the Cloud Palace Advent Prologue opens!
How big is the universe?
According to the calculations of geoscientists, if the universe is assumed to be spherical, then its diameter is about 93 billion light-years, and this number is constantly increasing.
How big is the Milky Way?
Similarly, if you think of the Milky Way as spherical, it is only 100,000 light-years in diameter.
The Milky Way, compared to the entire universe, is probably as small as dust.
Somewhere in the vastness of the universe.
A large dark blue ring floated in the starry sky, encompassing an area of pure darkness in the middle of the interior.
Around the dark blue ring, there is not a trace of starlight, not even any substance.
On the periphery of the ring, there was a black figure floating, and it was also because of the light of the dark blue ring that this figure that should have been imperceptible appeared.
Compared to the incomparably large ring in front of it, this figure may not even be the smallest particle.
In terms of shape, it is a human-like figure, but it is surrounded by an extremely thick black mist, which constantly jumps on its own like a flame. It looks like he's wearing black flame armor.
At the top of the mist, an ordinary man's face was revealed, with black pupils and black hair.
"Hmph. The man in the black mist smiled softly to himself, and in the dark blue that filled the entire line of sight, turned into a black meteor, quickly approached the ring, and then disappeared into the dark blue.
"Gather!"
The man stretched out one hand from the mist and pinched it, and with his movements, the thick black mist around his body spread out in all directions, vaguely revealing the two knives pinned to his waist.
The entire dark blue ring, in terms of size, probably far larger than the Milky Way, was made up of countless materials of various colors, and those substances, shapeless, not to say large, were like flowing rays of various colors, running around the black area in the center at unimaginable speeds.
It's like a planet around a planet, but it's faster and I don't know how much.
Countless rays of light of various colors form this huge ring, although the inside is colorful, but the whole of the ring presents a deep dark blue.
A man dressed in black mist stood on the inner surface of the ring, with countless shapeless substances of various colors flowing at nearly the speed of light beneath his feet.
From time to time, the inner surface of the ring will be disconnected from orbit at excessive speed, rushing towards the dark area in the center, and then no longer visible.
With the man's hand, the various colored streamers under his feet paused for an almost incalculable moment, and at the same time, countless particles of various colors broke out of the streamer and converged under the man's feet, turning into a dark blue stone about three zhang in size.
The stone surface is flat as a whole, with various potholes, and the lower part is irregular three-dimensional.
The man stood on the dark blue stone face, staring at the equally large black area in front of him.
Soon, he felt movement behind him, but his expression did not change, he did not look back, still looking at the darkness in the center.
On the dark blue stone face, behind the man, somehow a figure that was also wrapped in a thick black mist suddenly appeared.
also only shows the head, the same ordinary facial features, but compared with men, there is a softness that is obviously different from men.
The same black pupils, only long hair of the same color.
This figure that suddenly appeared was a woman.
The fog jumped and swirled, revealing from time to time that she was carrying something like a large black box behind her.
The woman looked at the dark blue stone at her feet, her face expressionless.
"It's really crude. ”
A crisp voice sounded in the man's head.
"Hmm. His faint voice also sounded in the other party's mind, counting as a response.
"Sister Qin, don't be so particular about this place. ”
The voice of the third person entered the minds of the man and the woman, and almost at the same time, behind the two of them, two figures suddenly appeared again with the same thick black mist.
On the faces, they are two handsome men with different styles. One is sunny and lively, and the other is calm and rigorous.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Zhan. The woman turned her head, her expressionless face had a serious taste, and she said, "You're late." ”
"Really?" said the handsome man with a sunny and lively face, "In such a place with so much energy, time is distorted too exaggeratedly, and it is not easy to grasp, it shouldn't matter, right?"
The other calm and strict man looked up at the black area in front of him: "Spare the extra pleasantries." Thunder Blade, aren't Ziqian and Tianhua here yet?"
His voice sounded in the minds of the other three, but it was obviously the man with an ordinary face and two knives in the lead.
The man with the two knives, known as the Thunder Blade, hummed faintly again in response.
"Suan, na, look. The sunshine man pointed to the thunder blade and laughed at the calm man, "This guy, every time he is cold to death at such a time, this is his real character! No wonder he can make a pair with Sister Qin!"
"Zhan Chen. The woman who was called Sister Qin in the mouth of the sunny man smiled, but the corners of her mouth twitched, "Can you laugh at him well?"
"Ahh
Su En, a calm man, sneered, "Heh, Qinyin, forget it." Zhanchen has always been so flamboyant, but it would be too dull without him. ”
"Yo, brothers, don't come unharmed. ”
A gruff voice rang out in the minds of several people, and then a tall figure burst out of the dark blue ring and landed on the small stone platform.
On the outside, he was a bald man with a Chinese face, full of fierce aura, and there was no black mist around him, replaced by a layer of golden-white flames that burned violently and jumped. The upper body with exaggerated muscular lines and a fierce head are exposed, and the lower body is completely covered in golden-white flames.
In the hand of the bald man, he carried a weapon in the shape of an equally huge axe, with an axe on one side and a blade on the other side.
After the bald man appeared, he smiled all over his face and politely greeted the few people in the black mist present one by one.
"Mr. Thunderblade, Mr. Qinyin, Mr. Suen, Mr. Zhanchen. ”
Thunderblade: "Hmm. ”
Kotoin: "Hmm. ”
Suan: "Hmm. ”
Zhanchen: "Ziqian, what's the matter with you? This is your territory, and you came later than us!"
The bald man named Ziqian scratched his head, looked a little embarrassed, and didn't answer him.
"There's a later one. Su En said calmly.
Almost in sync with his voice, a figure in a monochrome gray robe appeared on the outside of the ring not far from the edge of the small stone platform.
The facial features can't tell whether it is male or female, there is a kind of male heroism between the eyebrows, but the mouth and nose are as soft as a woman.
It was not surrounded by black mist or golden-white flames like the others on the stone platform.
The man in a mono-gray robe had no bangs and his long waist-length hair was all draped behind his head.
And the face of this gray robe that is neither male nor female is very strange, half of the face is pure to the extreme, and half of the face is pure to the extreme.
Not only the face, but also the neck and the parts below the neck, the palms and soles of the hands exposed by the robe are the same black and white colors as the face.
On the white half, all the hair strands are black, and on the black half, all the hair strands are white.
It looks like a deliberately failed dye, weird and funny.
However, because there is no black mist entangled, judging from the body shape, it should be a male human.
"Coming?" Thunderblade turned his head this time, looking at the yin and yang man.
The yin and yang man's gaze swept over the people present, his body did not move, floating and staying in place, without the intention of coming up to the stone platform, and he was noncommittal to the voice of the thunder blade, "The people are very uniform." ”
"Let's get started. The yin and yang man continued to say lightly.
"Hey, Long Tianhua!" Zhanchen jumped up, "You don't come to this set, you come late, what kind of boss posture do you take?"
"Do you want to fight again?" the yin and yang man's voice was a little cold.
Su En put his hand on the black mist on Zhanchen's shoulder and persuaded, "Zhanchen, now is not the time to worry about this. ”
The bald man Ziqian also greeted the yin and yang man in a formal manner: "It's been a long time, Mr. Long Tianhua." ”
The yin-yang man just nodded.
"It's been a long time!" Zhan Chen, who was held down by Su En, answered, "I'll do the math...... It's been almost a billion years, isn't it?"
"Hey. Su En, who was beside him, couldn't help but say, "Zhanchen, are you too used to living on Earth?"
"According to Earth time, it is. Ziqian laughed, "By the way, is the earth okay?" I threw a little clone over there, and I didn't pay much attention to it. ”
"What's wrong with that?" Zhanchen was obviously unconvinced, "Lao Tzu was originally an earthling. ”
Qin Yin retorted to him with a straight face: "Mr. Zhan, strictly speaking, you are not a native of the earth. You were born in the Nebula. ”
Su En continued: "The time here is too far from the earth. ”
"Don't remind me!" Zhanchen was still unconvinced, "That Lao Tzu is also an earthling now!"
"Earth is just a testing ground...... Suan said in a flat tone, "though it's our most important one." ”
"I can't help it. Su En said with a little sigh in his voice, "Who knew that the person who was waiting for didn't appear, but there was such a strange thing about you on the earth." ”
"Let me tell you again, we human beings, the history of existence, is much older than the earth, much older than the entire universe.
You and I are standing here in the exchange of consciousness, and this is the proof.
Everything on earth is a continuation and reproduction of our culture, and even the culture of other realms.
Now we are in the primordial realm, the earth is the whole universe.
We are the enemy of the whole world. Even the only realm that is also the world of the starry sky system is not our ally.
So, you can't just limit yourself to being an earthling, get it?"
"It's preachy again, okay, good. "Zhanchen is very impatient.
"According to the earth, what is this thing called?" the bald man Ziqian looked at the darkness in the center of his eyes and said curiously.
"Different times have different names. Zhanchen rolled his eyes at him, "Lao Tzu has lived on the earth for so long, it is impossible to remember it all." ”
"The words of the earth now," Qin Yin took Ziqian's question, and his voice returned to a calm and flat voice, "Let's call it the primordial black hole." ”
"What a mouthful name. The bald man was a little disgusted, "It's more comfortable to call Chu Yuan." ”
"Phew! Zhanchen protested.
Su En also smiled and said to Ziqian: "According to the current theory of the earth, the source ring is called an accretion disk, which is a very interesting name. ”
After laughing, Su En also straightened up, "Okay, everyone, it's difficult for us people to get together once, and we have limited time. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Long Tianhua, a yin and yang man floating alone on the side: "Tianhua, will Long Ye and Xiaoqing come again this time?"
The yin and yang man shook his head, but no sound came.
"Let's get started. Thunderblade said in a deep voice.
The yin and yang man Long Tianhua took the lead in reaching out, his fingers were dotted, and then he pinched the trick quickly, and his one hand was instantly shrouded by countless invisible finger shadows.
"Six people god one technique, up!"
The voice of Long Tianhua's divine sense sounded in the minds of the other five people.
Thunder Blade, Qin Yin, Zhan Chen, Su En, and Zi Qian stretched out their one-handed pinching tricks at the same time, turning into countless extremely fast finger shadows, no matter the frequency, speed, posture, size, they were exactly the same as Long Tianhua.
At the same time, in the black mist around Qin Yin, a musical instrument in the shape of a guzheng flew out on its own, floating under Qin Yin's other palm.
In the black mist around the thunder blade, two knives, one long and one short, flew out on their own, braving bright thunder light, and took the lead in charging towards the darkness in the center.
"Let's go!"
The six followed, flying towards the dark area in the center.
They are far faster than the speed of light.
The speed of those two knives was faster than that of six people.
It was too long to say that in the blink of an eye, two knives with six people, engulfed in darkness.
"It's dark. Zhanchen's voice, "I can't see anything, Ziqian, won't you be bored to the point of madness when you recuperate in this kind of place every day?"
Ziqian's voice: "It's okay, I'm used to it." It's a little darker, and the energy concentration is high. ”
Suen's voice: "Thunderblade, are you going back to Earth after this time?"
Qin Yin's voice: "We're going to go to the cloud realm once." If I ever came back, I would go to Earth. ”
Thunderblade's voice: "Everyone, concentrate!"
Long Tianhua's voice: "Thunder Blade, Qin Yin!"
In the absolute darkness, two dazzling thunderbolts suddenly lit up, reflecting the appearance of the six people in the black hole.
The six of them had long since turned into countless finger shadows with one hand, Su En and Zhanchen were just floating, and Ziqian was cross-legged and closed his eyes into a meditative position.
Two dazzling bolts of lightning flew back into Thunderblade's hand.
Long Tianhua's hands are sealed, and Qin Yin strokes the zither with both hands.
"Piano sound, finger playing!"
With the sound of Long Tianhua's divine sense, Qin Yin's fingers fell on the strings of the zheng.
The thunderblade slashed down towards the void in front of him.
The voices of Long Tianhua, Thunder Blade, and Qin Yin sounded at the same time.
"Time and space realm, open!"
