Chapter 320: Divine Grace Shines Like a Mountain......
Ancient migration for thousands of years is legendary, and the grace of God is like the light of hope in the mountains.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Approaching the target point, the transfer is aborted, and the energy state is reversed.] 】
Externally, it looks like a large cooling fan, and the probe appears from the depths of the starry sky in an abrupt manner with eight spiral blades around the central body. It can be clearly seen that there are no external thrusters on the probe anymore, and even the probe's own energy supply equipment has completely stopped working during the long journey, but it is slowing down at this moment, steadily reducing its speed.
It is a drifting bottle submerged in the fragments of endless time and space, drifting with the tide while not fully entrusting itself to the so-called fate, like a broken ghost ship on the sea of stars.
The slowdown didn't take long, and soon the probe was back to what seemed to be a normal speed...... Normal here means that it is very similar to the natural state of drifting, although the direction it is going in is beyond imagination, as if an invisible palm is gently plucking it, constantly adjusting its sailing attitude.
In the dark and deep starry sky ahead, an inconspicuous star is getting brighter and brighter as the distance approaches, and behind this probe, endless stars converge into a huge eye.
For billions of years, it has always been there with the galaxy flowing slowly, and no one will ever know what this illusory and empty star's eyes are staring at.
……
The Bright Moon Forest in the early morning seemed to be completely different from last night's.
The people who had been numb from despair and grief seemed to have returned to their original state once again, and the early morning woods were full of talking moon prayers, most of them were still very weak, but they were spiritually radiant.
No need to be confused, no more despair, an astonishing piece of news has spread among the Moon Prayers: yesterday the gods really gave clear instructions on what to do to avoid disaster.
Of course, if it's just a simple rumor, then there's nothing to be excited about, after all, there are a lot of similar rumors in the days when the weather has just begun to change, what gods have 10,000 ways to make you can't get along here, what the end of the world is coming, everyone hurry up and make a life-continuation deal, and there are some strange guys who even dissuade others from abandoning the moon god and worshipping something else......
Hawkers, even when the entire race is facing an existential crisis, there are always some people who are still too young to pray for the moon who want to make big news all day long, and they don't know what it means to live a low-key life at all.
However, this rumor was different from the previous ones, because the current chief priest of Yaoyue Forest, who had never been very involved in these things, openly admitted the authenticity of this oracle. If there is even a little bit that ordinary moon prarayers might joke about the gods when their faith is not strong, it is impossible for an existence like the presiding priest to talk nonsense...... At least that's what most people think.
Unlike the mystical statements of the past, this time the statement is very clear and unambiguous, that is, the northern land is about to suffer a catastrophe, and if you want to escape the shadow of death, you must let all the moon prayers go to the southern land, that is, to reach the other side of the Gorge of Life and Death.
Of course, it is obviously impossible for the Moon Prayers to cross the Gap of Life and Death on their own, not to mention the horribly high death rate on the way, it is impossible to build enough ships for so many Moon Prayers to cross the sea in just over a week. Even if most of the Moon Prayers have died in various disasters, there are at least a thousand people gathered in the Moonlight Forest, and the Moon Prayers' wooden boats that can carry a few people are already the limit, which is obviously unrealistic.
"We don't need to prepare for the problem of crossing the sea, tell everyone to pack up their belongings and set off directly for the southern coastline tomorrow." She looked at the few moon prayers beside her who were in charge of delivering messages to the priests, her eyes seemed to be shining, and her words also carried a long-lost vitality, "When the time comes, a miracle will appear." ”
The encouraging news spread quickly, and although there was inevitably a small number of people who were skeptical, most believed in their chief priest...... Of course, it may also be partly because they don't know what else to believe at this time.
Without much discussion, or belief or not, everyone began to pack up silently, even though the process didn't take long, and many people didn't even have any savings. There may be hope for moving south, but staying where you are certainly won't last long, and it seems that the whole world is full of hostility.
Earthquakes are becoming more and more frequent, and there is a dormant volcano not far north of the Shining Moon Forest that has been affected by geological changes and is gradually entering an active period, it is the source of the fire rain that Xinglan once saw, and in later generations it was called Longmian Mountain, which means that there are terrible monsters sleeping in the depths of the lava, and it is even rumored that the magma erupted here is a revived monster sneezing into the sky. The existence of this volcano is not a secret to the Moon Prayers of the Shining Moon Forest, and although they do not know much about the volcano, this does not prevent them from realizing the terrifying power of this volcano and how great the damage it may bring to the Shining Moon Forest if its scope expands.
Since you don't know what to do, let's take it one step at a time.
……
The Moon Prayer is nervously preparing for the migration, and Xinglan is not idle, she needs to pay attention to far more extensive areas than most creatures imagine, the never-ending stellar system monitoring network, the planetary transformation project at adjacent stars, and the complex operation and management of equipment on the perimeter...... There's a lot of trivia like that.
Night Moon has devoted himself wholeheartedly to playing with Xingnai, the same two innocent little guys quickly became good friends, it is a good way to assist in learning language by directly deepening the impression in the mind, although it is impossible to read the language database as fast as Night Moon herself, but it is also far faster than ordinary education methods, ordinary creatures do not have this kind of information processing speed, the base is large enough, as long as they are not close to the danger area, it is enough for them to make a fuss, of course, Xinglan also keeps an eye on their actions in case something unexpected happens.
The focus now is on helping the Moon Prayers go south, and while Xinglan is reluctant to favor certain species, the social preservation of intelligent creatures is clearly a different matter. Surviving a few thousand more people in this era may change the entire history, except for some excessive racism, Xinglan feels that the social structure of the Moon Prayer people is relatively stable now...... As for the problem of racism, the existence of demons probably occupies a large factor in it, and this is not an easy problem to solve, after all, the so-called "demons" are all ......
In short, Xing Lan didn't plan to let the Moon Prayer people of the Northern Yuan Continent die.
Judging by the volcanic activity, there was probably just over a week left before the final eruption, and she had to completely solve the problem of getting the Moon Prayer to cross the sea in a few days. If there is such a large ship, it is not too difficult to transport thousands of people, but Xinglan did not prepare this kind of thing on Lanxing, and besides, she did not plan to expose the level of technology so neatly, and building a large ship is not a problem that can be easily solved locally, and it is too huge if it is transported by air. As for the invisibly dividing the sea, as some myths and legends do, or freezing the entire surface of the ocean...... This kind of practice is still a little difficult for Xinglan to do, and even if it is forced to do it, it will not be of much benefit to this planet.
She felt that this should still be done in a lighter way, and it would be better to have a long-term impact on the local environment, and as for how the Moon Prayers would return to the northern land again, that was something they needed to consider in the future, and there was no need to rush, but they could slowly complete the transfer in a long time.
Reasonable guidance can speed up the pace of civilization development, but there are still certain limitations, and it is impossible to say that a primitive race can develop into the space age in a few decades...... This process will take at least a few thousand years, otherwise there will be endless hidden dangers.
As for how to let thousands of Moon Prayer people all cross the Life and Death Gorge from the Northern Yuan Continent to the Southern Yuan Continent within a few days this time, Xing Lan already has a rough idea, and by monitoring the climate change of Lan Xing's world, it can be seen that the Life and Death Gorge will be calm in the next few days, so ......
……
When the sun just appeared from the sky the next day, thousands of people who prayed for the moon had already packed their belongings and stood outside the Bright Moon Forest, forming a very spectacular army of refugees, and when Ao Kun appeared, people were all quiet.
She didn't say much, just made a departure gesture, and the huge procession began to slowly follow the leader. The coastline wasn't a clear target, but when she looked up at the sky, an arrow symbol commonly used by moon prarayers appeared in her eyes throughout, a symbol that only she could see, pointing to the direction of the journey.
She grabbed an inconspicuous animal skin bag containing ripe seeds from the Prayer Tree, took one last look at the two huge Prayer Trees that were still standing, and then turned around and never looked back.
It was not a long journey, when thousands of moon prayers led by Ao Kun to be able to see the distant Gorge of Life and Death, it was the time when the sun was shining, the brilliant sun bloomed in the sky with a brilliant light that pierced through the clouds, and the continuous wind and snow also stopped at this moment.
Like hope itself, the light was so bright that they could see far away what was beyond the rippling sea, a long yellow line that led to the distant horizon, the end of which was completely beyond the reach of the eye.
This is a simple pontoon bridge built temporarily, but it is a pontoon bridge that crosses the Gorge of Life and Death, and for these moon prayers, this is a bridge that crosses the other side of life and death.
"Lord Priest, what the hell is that?"
The trembling voice of the moon prayer next to her came to her ears, she raised her head to look at the sky, the pointing arrow that had been staying in her field of vision for the past few days had disappeared for some time, and when the bright sun shone on her skin, she seemed to vaguely feel the warmth that she had not felt for a long time.
"That's it, ...... Grace Bridge"
The Eighth Age of Lanxing, the Age of Divine Grace, the last hope in despair.
