Chapter 1 I came from the stars

Next Chapter

On September 1, 2020, the Mars Civilization Explorer Program, jointly cooperated by the world's eight hermit families, was officially launched!

The reason why the eight families are so united is only because not long ago, mankind discovered that there was a big explosion on Mars, and according to the analysis of observations, this explosion did not belong to any astronomical phenomenon, and it was very likely to be caused by an extraterrestrial civilization.

A year later, the Explorer officially arrived on Mars with three astronauts and sent back the landing footage.

"I'm Huaxia astronaut Zhao Ling, the spacecraft has reached the predetermined coordinates and applied for landing!" Zhao Ling was wearing a heavy spacesuit, her eyes looked through the porthole, and what caught her eye was a pale yellow planet covered with basin rocks, and her dark eyes flashed with excitement.

"Permitted!" came the solemn voice of Dr. John, the project's top leader, through the earpiece.

"Miss Lin, there are still three minutes before the spacecraft will land at the established coordinates, in line with the principle of ladies first, Mike and I think it is better to let you be the first person in history!" The other two astronauts, Jack and Mike, walked over and said to Zhao Ling with a smile.

In fact, among the three, Zhao Ling is the commander-in-chief of the spacecraft.

"Then I'm not welcome!" Zhao Ling smiled when he heard this, he could become the first human to set foot on Mars, this famous is going to be recorded in history, but honor is also accompanied by risks, the environment of Mars is completely different from that of Earth, even if he is wearing a thick spacesuit, at the moment of leaving the warehouse, he is likely to encounter danger to his life.

As the minutes passed, the vision outside the porthole became more and more blurred, and after a slight vibration, a reddish-brown misty world appeared in front of everyone.

"Open the hatch! Prepare to land!" Zhao Ling felt his heart beat out of his chest at any moment.

Just as Zhao Ling was about to leave the warehouse, Jack suddenly let out a surprised voice: "Miss Lin, wait a minute! The spacecraft landed a hundred kilometers away from the established coordinates, and we are now in a huge crater!"

"That's right, our goal is here!" Zhao Ling nodded lightly, only a few people knew the truth in this exploration plan.

Jack and Mike looked at each other in surprise and reluctantly put on their helmets.

The hatch opened, and the reddish-brown mist suddenly enveloped Zhao Ling, and even through the thick spacesuit, Zhao Ling seemed to be able to feel the choking heat in the air.

And just as she stepped onto the dusty surface, the reddish-brown world in front of her suddenly changed, and the dust in the sky converged towards the center of the crater in the distance.

The sight around her slowly became clearer, Zhao Ling's heart beat faster and faster, she lay on the ground, excitedly looking at the red tornado in the distance.

"Oh my God, what's that!" said Jack, looking at the kilometer-high red tornado, with horror in his eyes.

The tornado slowly dissipated, and the surrounding vision gradually became clearer, and Zhao Ling saw clearly that they were in the center of a giant crater at the moment, according to the observation, this crater was formed in a year, and it was certain that the object that hit was definitely not a meteorite!

The top person in charge of the Explorer Project believes that it is likely that the legendary Ascendant was responsible for this explosion!

This may be their burial!

Now it seems that everything is clear, in the center of the huge crater, there is a huge bronze coffin, the coffin is tied to seven black iron chains, the iron chains are buried deep in the ground, and the coffin is fixed in the center.

"God, that's a coffin! Is there anyone who came here before us?" Mike's voice was filled with disbelief.

And although Zhao Ling was also shocked, such a scene was not seen at the same time as her, as the main astronaut of the Starry Sky Ascendant Graveyard Exploration Program, her experience was not comparable to the two rookies next to her!

As she approached, the runes on the bronze coffin became clearer and clearer, and she saw nine statues carved around the bronze hall and on the coffin, which was full of the aura of desolation.

"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this?" said Jack, shocked, rubbing the pattern on the coffin.

"Don't move, this is the ninth son of the dragon in Chinese mythology!" Zhao Ling said with a solemn expression.

"Huaxia mythology, could it be that this coffin was made here by Huaxia?" Jack stared at Zhao Ling in disbelief.

"At present, with the technology of the earth, it is not possible to transport such a large thing to Mars, this thing belongs to a higher civilization!" Zhao Ling said.

"You mean alien civilizations?" Jack and Mike looked at each other: "It's just that how can alien civilizations have things that belong to Chinese mythology?"

"It's not an alien civilization!" Zhao Ling shook his head and stared at the two of them and said, "This is the Immortal Cultivation Civilization!"

"Immortal Cultivator?" The two of them looked shocked, they looked at the huge bronze hall in front of them, which was three meters high and seven meters long, in horror: "Then there are immortal cultivators lying here?"

"Yes!" Zhao Ling nodded, according to her experience, the tombs of the ascended were generally in the caves of the building planets, and I had really never seen such an open-air burial method.

"Miss Zhao, now activate the transport device on the Explorer and bring this bronze pavilion back to the headquarters!" At this moment, Dr. John's order came from the headset.

"But Doctor, this bronze pavilion is bound by seven chains, and it is an open-air burial method, which is completely different from the Ascendant tomb I saw before!"

"I suspect that this may not be a tomb, but someone has been sealed in it, and if you break the seal rashly, it is likely to be dangerous!" Zhao Ling analyzed.

"Don't forget your mission!" Professor John's voice was deep.

"I know!" Zhao Lingliu's eyebrows tightened, staring at Jack and Mike for a while before speaking: "Dr. John just sent an order to bring this bronze hall back, and now you two prepare tools to open this iron lock!"

"Yes!" the two nodded as soon as they heard that it was Professor John's order.

The two of them took out the cutting equipment from the spaceship, and cut it against the iron lock that exuded a cold and quaint smell, and the flamethrower, which was tens of thousands of degrees high, made a stabbing sound on the black iron chain, but the iron chain was like a thousand years of cold iron, and it did not change in the slightest!

"No!" Jack shook his head, putting away his rifle.

"There should be a mechanism!" Zhao Ling looked at it for a while and suddenly said, in the past few years of exploration, although she has not fully grasped the secrets of the Ascendant, it has also made her own cultivation have reached the level of building the foundation, and she always knows a little bit about the power that the Ascendant possesses.

"How can there be a piece of paper here? There are words on it!" Jack suddenly saw a golden piece of paper pasted on the coffin, and it was full of strange symbols, so he couldn't help but pick it up.

"Oh no! put it down!" Zhao Ling's face changed drastically, and he shouted at Jack in a panic, but it was too late, and as the strange piece of paper was revealed, the entire coffin suddenly burst into a golden light.

A majestic and vast momentum suddenly burst out from the coffin.
