Chapter 10: A New Home
The blue crystals stretched out their long tentacles, like newborn children, frolicking and wandering in the liquid, leisurely, unharmed, as if the pain of Ling Chi before was just an illusion.
Until he came out of the silver mirror and left this strange world.
The faint film of light reappeared, only thicker and more rounded, like a layer of pale blue crystal wrapped around the outside.
The world behind the silver mirror is no longer a heavy black starry sky, but a channel-like existence.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and even hundreds of colors that have not been seen before are reflected on the walls of the passage, like colorful wall lamps.
There was no stopping, no struggle, the blue crystal was pulled by an inexplicable force, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
The colored light spots on the walls of the passage are gradually elongated and deformed, and finally turn into colorful and intermittent strips, which are dazzling and beautiful.
The passage is not always straight, the path is crooked, turning left and right, sometimes turning a few times, and the blue spirit core is dragged inside, flying forward.
Until, through a black hole, it was squirted out.
When Liu Hao woke up again, everything in front of him shocked him, and he felt familiar.
Huge planets, vast oceans with a mesmerizing sheen, huge lands floating in twos and threes, thick clouds slowly swirling and skimming over the land.
Back to Earth again?
However, Liu Hao quickly dismissed the idea.
The planet below is so large that it is several times larger than the Earth by visual inspection alone, and the shape of the land is completely different from what is known to it.
After Liu Hao regained consciousness, he saw the magnificent scenery in front of him at first glance, but he didn't remember how he got here at all.
The last image he remembered was of tumbling, struggling, wailing in pain in the silvery liquid, slowly dissipating until he lost consciousness.
But for some reason, when he woke up, he was pleasantly surprised to find that all the negative emotions that had accumulated before seemed to be gone, and his whole soul was filled with a new joy from the inside out.
But the next moment, he was taken aback by the change in himself.
The sapphire-like octahedron, six of which are covered with totemic dark lines, and the remaining two are smooth like mirrors.
The tentacles were increased by two, thicker and more powerful, and the soft and collapsed light film also transformed into a crystal-like hard substance.
Let's call you "Spirit Core", Soul Crystal Nucleus.
Seemingly very satisfied with his new body, Liu Hao happily decided on its name.
And the huge planet below, if there are no accidents, will be his new home.
In terms of size, megaplanets are at least as large as several Earths, and vast oceans still occupy the vast majority of their surface area.
The same vast land is filled with long mountain ranges, snow-capped peaks, jewel-like lakes and polar ice caps.
From this point of view, this is a terrestrial planet that is very similar to the mother planet of the Earth, and at least has the basic conditions for breeding life.
The only thing to consider is what stage the population of organisms above has developed, and whether it is the same appearance and race as the Earth.
Even for him, there is little choice at the moment.
He didn't care when he was furry, and an extra tail seemed acceptable, but if it was covered with scales, the thought of it made him creepy.
The planet has three main continents.
The largest piece, extremely large, shaped like a huge paw, obliquely spans the northern and southern hemispheres, occupying almost the entire view of the front.
The Eurasian continent on Earth can only be regarded as a small brother compared to it.
Most of the forefoot is north of the equator and slightly wider than the lower part, but it extends only into the temperate zone, about one-third of the entire continent.
The remainder sloped to the bottom of the sphere, and its heel was close to the South Pole, covering a large area of silvery-white ice.
On the east side of the thumb, not far away, there is another piece of land less than one-fifth the size of the giant continent, more like a large island, and it looks like a piece torn from the forefoot.
This slightly smaller continent resembles a KFC fried chicken thigh, and is located in the temperate tropics.
The leg of the chicken leg is very close to the giant continent, and if you don't look closely, it doesn't seem to be completely broken, and it stretches diagonally to the northeast, getting farther and farther away from the giant continent, forming an almost triangular sea area between the two continents, where thick dark clouds are dense.
Outside the northeast end of the chicken thighs, there are also several slender island chains, some large and some small, and the distance and near are very irregular, like the puff pastry and bone stubble that fall after eating the fried chicken legs.
In addition to these two continents, when the giant planet turns halfway, there is also a land in the shape of a flat gourd, the overall area is only about half of the giant continent.
The location of the gourd mouth is to the south, and the gourd belly is to the north, mostly north of the equator.
Unlike Earth, this planet has two moons.
One large and one small, the larger one slightly farther away, the smaller orbit slightly closer, like two loyal guards with knives, slowly rotating around the giant planet at different heights.
The larger one seemed to have liquid water on it, and more than half of the entire planet's surface seemed to be covered in snow and ice, shining brightly in the sunlight.
The smaller one is dark red all over, and the brightness is far less than that of its big brother.
Liu Hao was obsessed with admiring the magnificent cosmic landscape, completely forgetting where he was, until an object glowing green passed by him and woke him up.
In addition to its own blue, this is the first time I have seen any other color.
It was a green spirit core, much smaller than him, which also proved that the planet below did indeed have intelligent life.
In stark contrast to Earth's outer space, there are not many spirit cores here, at least not as many as expected.
As far as he could observe, there were only hundreds of thousands of them of various sizes.
Ninety-nine percent of them are less than half his size, and the largest ones are slightly smaller than him, with only a few of them.
What puzzled him the most was that there was no light film on the outside of all the green spirit cores, and there was no flash of memory images.
Rather stupidly wandering around the airspace near them, very similar to the feeling of the new light group.
The green spirit core has eight tentacles.
Six of them are normal, while the remaining two are much shorter and look like stunted limbs.
The smaller the size of the spirit core, the shorter these two tentacles become.
Before Liu Hao could decide on his next move, as a ray of sunlight passed by at the edge of the planet, all the spirit cores cheered, as if something was attracting them, and they rushed downward.
The familiar scene in front of him made him know that the opportunity for a new life was in front of him, and there might be a hard battle.
But looking at the green figure that kept moving away, he didn't feel any strange feelings.
Looking down, the vast surface of the planet was dim, and there was not a single spot of light calling him.
The light film was still shrunk to the limit, carefully guarded, but until the green figure completely disappeared from the surface of the planet, nothing hit.
This reminded him of the fact that the planet below had not shaken at all from beginning to end.
This could not be better news, but the hope of rebirth seems to be dead again.
Liu Hao cautiously probed at different heights, but it wasn't until a new spirit core floated up that he didn't perceive any trace of the barrier, which made him have to confirm this.
Of course, it is good to have no obstacles, but not being recognized by his new home also means that he has become a lonely ghost floating in this starry sky, and he does not know the deadline.
The green spirit core has refilled this starry sky again and again, and it is already the tenth batch, and Liu Hao has always only played the role of a silent spectator.
As the planet rotates, the same scenario will occur every time it is in a straight line with two moons and both moons are on the same side.
He also tried to mingle in the hordes of green spirit cores and fly downward.
But unfortunately, until all the spirit cores flew away and fell to the earth, only his shadow remained, and he was left alone, quietly resting there, still dark below.
Liu Hao wanted to make a desperate bet and flew down, but he unexpectedly felt a hint of threat, and as he got closer and closer to the ground, this sense of threat was also very obvious.
Eventually, he compromised, suppressed his strong desire, and flew back up.
