For the brilliant starry sky above our heads, human beings have never stopped exploring.

After the fifties of the last century, the United States and the Soviet Union successively completed the feat of landing on the moon. Humanity, which has finally left the Earth, has embarked on a voyage to explore the solar system and beyond with great curiosity and great ambition.

On March 2, 1972, Pioneer 10 was launched. After completing the missions to Saturn and Jupiter, he took advantage of the gravitational escape of Saturn's orbit and began the longest journey in human history to the distant outer solar system. In April of the same year, Pioneer 11 also flew into outer space with a gold-plated record recording greetings in 55 human languages.

With the first attempts of the Pioneer, in 1977 the more technically sophisticated Voyager I and II were launched. In addition to records containing greetings in human language, the Voyager spacecraft also carried metal pieces that recorded human reproductive information, the position of the Earth, and some basic mathematical formulas and units. The album also contains the sounds of the earth and the classical music of various countries. In 1989, Voyager 1 broke out of Saturn's gravitational range, carrying the desire of all mankind for the unknown and moving towards the center of the Milky Way.

Until today, more than thirty years have passed. Pioneer 10 and 11 lost contact with Earth in 1995 and 2003, respectively, when they reached the edge of the solar system due to running out of batteries. Voyager 1 is still functional, and in 2014 it sent back the exact news that it flew out of the solar system.

However, during the long voyages flown by pioneers and travelers, the search for intelligent life in outer space has made no progress. Humanity is still living alone on Earth, ready to return home. Because the earth has always been only a starting point for human beings, and the vast universe is the real home of human beings.

At the edge of the solar system, 18.2 billion kilometers from Earth, the void space is evenly scattered with interstellar media. This is the edge of the sun's gravitational pull, where the stream of charged particles ejected from the coronal layer at high speed passes through the layers of space, and finally stops here when the speed is exhausted. In a place ruled by eternal silence, all that is possessed is boundless darkness and cold.

Voyager 1 flew alone in this silent space, relying on the gravitational acceleration of the four giant planets to draw an elliptical circle, slowly breaking away from the gravitational pull of the sun.

However, every time it leaps over the interstellar edge and truly breaks free from the sun's shackles. In this eternal silence space, there will be a layer of invisible ripples without warning, and the ripples are like a circle of ripples gently touched by falling raindrops on the surface of a tranquil lake.

Voyager 1 rushed into the fluctuating ripples without realizing it, like a drop of water falling into the sea, and in an instant it merged with the sea and disappeared without a trace. It all happened quietly. Only the redundant radio waves that overflowed from the Voyager at the moment of crossing the space were transmitted back to Earth non-stop.

At this time, on the other side of the boundary of the solar system, there were also circles of ripples in the silent space, and then, Voyager 1, which had just been swallowed by the mysterious ripples, appeared out of thin air and continued to fly forward along the outermost orbit of the sun.

In front of it was the Pioneer, which had long since lost contact with Earth. For a long time before that, all the instruments on board the Pioneer had failed, and it was just turning mechanically in circles and circles in accordance with the gravitational pull of the sun. It's just that every time it is about to cross the interstellar edge, it will be sent back to its origin by the mysterious fluctuations of space there. Time and time again, the entire solar system is like a giant Möbius paper ring, and every time a spacecraft crosses the interstellar border, it will be transported back to its original point of origin by space, repeating this strange and endless cycle forever.

The redundant radio waves that overflowed at the moment when Voyager touched the space node were finally picked up by receivers on the ground after a long flight of sixteen hours. Immediately afterwards, NASA's ground control center fell into jubilation after being stunned. Because according to the information transmitted by the radio waves, humanity can finally confirm that Voyager has broken through the interstellar boundary and entered the wider galaxy.

Just as the Voyager was passing through space, outside the distant solar system, through the thin space barrier, there were two people suspended in the void of the universe, these two people, one old and one young, were wearing black robes that covered their bodies, standing in the vacuum of outer space, strange and mysterious.

The mysterious pair of black-robed men stared at the void space in front of them, as if their eyes had penetrated the thin barrier of space and seen everything that was happening in the solar system at this moment. Although, in front of their line of sight was only a void where there was nothing.

This scene is like a human being watching a group of goldfish swimming through a glass fish tank. Even if humans can completely destroy the entire fish tank with a wave of their hand, until then, the goldfish swimming in the fish tank will not feel any fear. Because for them, the whole world is only a fish tank.

Because of ignorance, there is naturally no fear.

Time passed little by little, and the two mysterious black-robed men were still quietly looking at the empty space in front of them, as if they had been waiting for something. At the moment when the Voyager had just crossed the space node and was teleported back to the other side of the orbit, the space in front of the two mysterious black-robed men suddenly appeared like a thin ripple on the surface of the water that had been crumpled by the breeze. The fluctuations of the space came and went quickly, and it only flickered for a moment before regaining calm. But in the eyes of the two black-robed mysterious people, it was no less than setting off a monstrous wave!

"Teacher, look! That mysterious spatial fluctuation appeared again, and those old guys in the academy were right! The black-robed young man pulled the old man's sleeve and said excitedly.

"Well, it seems that there is indeed a small spatial plane hidden here." The black-robed old man said calmly, but there was still a little joy in his words that could not be concealed.

The communication between the two was carried out with divine thoughts, so the whole space was still as silent as death.

The old man raised his head, and two dark red soul fires danced in his sunken eye sockets. The war between the Undead and the Human Alliance was in full swing, and no one knew better than him that having an extra blank plane at this moment would be equivalent to adding a point of potential for the Undead to drain in this long war.

He stretched out a hand that had been shrouded in black robes and gently patted the young man's shoulder. Motioned for him to step back, then slowly raised his hand. The hand was just a pale skeleton, but there was no sense of horror in the slightest. The bones between the palms of the hands are as warm as jade, and there are faint dim points of light in the gap between the joints. It only makes people feel mysterious and powerful, full of awe.

He aimed his hand at the space in front of him, and opened his five fingers and shook them casually. In just one moment, the originally extremely dim points of light on those fingers instantly burst into dazzling light, enveloping the entire hand in a blinding white light.

With the grip of his fingers, the space in front of him emitted bursts of violent fluctuations, and the originally stable spatial barrier turned into a crumpled mass of waste paper in an instant. Then, the hand reached forward with an index finger, aimed at the chaotic space like crumpled waste paper, and poked it slowly but firmly.

It seemed to be an earth-shattering loud noise, and it seemed to be just a bubble quietly bursting. The solid barrier that had existed in that space since its birth was like a mirror shattered from the middle, and irregular cracks quickly spread in all directions.

In just an instant, the cage that imprisoned the entire solar system was easily broken. The magical elements in the outer universe are like inverted seawater, frantically pouring into this space that has been sealed for tens of billions of years from all directions, nourishing everything here that is barren.

Of course, in the cosmic vacuum, no sound can be transmitted, so no matter how earth-shattering everything happens, it is still silent.

The freed Voyager finally entered the vast space outside the solar system, but it didn't fly long before it was intercepted by the boy next to the old man.

The black-robed old man looked at the aqua blue planet that was far away under his fingertips and smiled softly. "It's really beautiful like a dream, but it's a pity that it was ruined by a group of fools."

He withdrew his hand, the two soul fires in his eyes burning calmly, and looked at the young man beside him. He was curiously studying the flying object he had intercepted. The young man was still puzzled after watching it for a long time, so he asked the old man for advice: "Teacher, what is this?" ”

The old man smiled at him gently, and said, "I don't know, it looks like an alchemy item, but it doesn't have any magic fluctuations, it should be something that humans from this plane explore other dimensions." ”

The old man looked at the strange-shaped item and casually put it into the space ring.

"This plane has no heaven and earth vitality, and there are strangeness everywhere. If it weren't for this thing touching the spatial node, no one would have been able to discover this place even in tens of billions of years. Speaking of this, the old man also sighed in his heart.

The laws of this plane are monotonous, and there is no element of magic at all. But it still can't stop the human desire to explore the unknown. Freedom is indeed the eternal pursuit of all intelligent life. It's just that humanity in this plane is destined to pay for freedom. In this world, all ambitions that do not match strength are stupid.

"Let's go, the space barrier has been broken, and the laws of the plane only need to be assimilated by the main plane for a period of time to disappear. Half a year later, the first ghouls and some low-level demon clans will be able to enter. We're going to go back and do some preparations. ”

The old man shook off the boring sighs that suddenly appeared in his heart, and said indifferently. Then he turned around, stretched out his hand, and the endless distance was directly folded into the space that overlapped on both sides, and then a spatial passage large enough to span trillions of light-years was directly formed. On the other side of the passage is a celestial body that is no longer unimaginable to humans.

According to the laws of physics as human beings know, that huge celestial body could not exist in this universe at all. The entire Earth is not even one ten-thousandth in size. The huge celestial body is spinning cone-shaped, and the incredible mass brought by the huge volume has generated a super gravitational field, and dozens of stars several times the size of the sun are firmly fixed in their existing orbits by gravity, revolving around this huge celestial body.

Because of the existence of the magic element, the creatures on this continent were not crushed by the huge gravitational force from the ground, but instead generated just the right amount of atmosphere and magnetic field, allowing countless races on the continent to thrive.

The intelligent beings living on this astral body call this huge astral body the Eternal Continent, because every heavenly powerhouse who has the ability to fly out of this continent, when they see the whole picture of this continent in the universe, in addition to shock, there is only deep awe left in their hearts.

Because to put any adjective other than "eternal" on this continent is somewhat blasphemous.
