The hurricane howls and whirls the sky, and the silver filament finally brews the forbidden fruit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did God create man? Or did man create God?

On that day, in this land where the wind was howling and could sweep almost any creature into the sky, beside the sharp crystalline clusters that extended from the heavy metal soil, the first observer to start thinking looked up at the nebula pillar that ran through the entire sky, he did not say any complicated words, there was no passionate pride, perhaps the observer standing in the upper reaches of the long river of time, just sighed softly, but this tone became a special term in the future.

Tianyuan, the pronunciation of this word in Tianyuan is a sigh.

The beings that gradually emerged from natural selection in this new land, although they were also conceived by the source spores, did not become those powerful beings with the power to change the world...... They live on this planet, and like most civilizations, they have never seen any other planet of life, so they don't know how special the planetary environment is. In all the perceptions of these beings, the whole world has been like this since ancient times, and the dirty and chaotic land is constantly ravaged by hurricanes and dust, and dozens of earthquakes, large and small, can be encountered almost every day. The sky is covered with colourful bands of clouds all year round, and the countless bright stars that fill the sky can only be seen on the clearest days. Once the roaring hurricane season arrives, those colorful bands of clouds twist in the wind, and most life doesn't want to see it...... The boundless sky presents a huge and eerie spiral pattern, the dim sunlight pierces through the thick clouds, and time is forever frozen in the hour of dusk, and when you look up, it seems as if the whole world is constantly twisting and crumbling in this super vortex. People who hear this description may only think that the scene is spectacular, but I still have a question for you.

Have you ever felt the despair of being the enemy of the whole world?

Standing alone on the desolate ground, looking up at the bleak sky in the wind that can almost blow you off the ground, looking up at the bleak sky, watching the huge whirlpool that seems to spread endlessly as far as the eye can see, slowly spin above...... At the heart of the eye of the storm is the only place where you can see the ordinary starlight of the outside world, a small transparent area that is like the only paradise in hell, but like the most brutal conspiracy, placing hope in a place that you can clearly see but cannot reach.

Only when you are truly immersed in the scene can you understand how terrifying it can be to face this kind of coercion of heaven and earth, so every time the survivors who survived the disaster look at the land after the hurricane with trepidation, they find that everything in this world will change in hurricanes and earthquakes, and there is only one thing that will never be affected by these disasters, and that is the bright starry sky overhead.

The original myth and legend of the Heavenly Abyss Star was probably born at this time, and they believed that the stars in the sky were the eternal existence, the most perfect and transcendent world, and this land was ...... It is only a place of calamity in this eternal world, because there is a crack in this perfect heaven, and the earth is in the abyss of the rift.

"At the beginning of eternity, flawless spread, perfect and eternal."

"The sky cracks the abyss, the turbid earth, and all beings in an instant."

They believed that if they could get out of this chaotic world through the rift in the abyss, they could attain eternity in the perfect heaven.

The power of life does not just give in, and they have survived with great difficulty in this world full of disasters, from the initial struggle to survive to the pursuit of a better life, from huddled in a natural cave and shivering to the beginning of building a house of their own design. For tens of thousands of years, the stars in the sky never seemed to change, and the catastrophe that wiped out the living soul did not come again...... Although the source spores still did not evolve any particularly powerful lifeforms, the world was not reset again, and a weak civilization began to gradually rise.

They didn't go through the stage of steam engine and internal combustion engine first, and at this time, there were a large number of crystal minerals with extremely high purity in the land of Tianyuan Star, many of which could even become natural chip materials without smelting. Generators and motors, the first technology to appear on the Tianyuan Star directly entered the electric age, when the crystal butterfly that sparkled in the light of the rainbow star flew to the sky, the horn of the new era has been sounded silently. They have nothing to hide from each other, and they are willing to share their knowledge, which has made the technology of this civilization develop at an incredible speed...... Hurricanes that would have destroyed the world could no longer be intimidated by them, and instead huge wind power stations made of high-strength alloys were built, drawing energy from the atmosphere.

Cities are like a seed that grows and expands. Covered by moons, Abyss is a planet with a relatively large surface area, and also has a large amount of mineral materials that can be crafted into building materials. They collected wild crystalline growth-promoting bacteria from the wild, cultivated and improved them from generation to generation, and built a standardized professional crystal farm. The terrifying beasts that roamed the wilderness were defeated by the attack of electromagnetic weapons inlaid with power generation crystals, but they were not completely wiped out. They imprisoned these creatures, who were once feared and even worshipped as demons, and at the same time became no longer afraid of any enemies, because they were the only intelligent creatures on the planet, and they were a civilization that had developed into the age of technology.

They learned how to use the power of technology to resonate with the ground beneath their feet and fly, and they also discovered what planets are like in their exploration of the starry sky...... The ancient myth of the Heavenly Abyss is no longer a story to be believed, but a dream that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years has never been forgotten. They still longed to break out of this abyss, to the vastness of the universe, to see the stars flowing in front of them.

As hundreds of years passed silently, they took over every land on the planet, truly becoming the masters of this ancient planet, where no creature could be their opponent, and the members of this civilization finally felt alone.

There were no other species on this planet that could communicate with them, and fantasies about alien civilizations also appeared in their hearts, and for a while, science fiction began to sweep the whole world. Several different nations were united, and at this time they were still like in antiquity, with competition and calculation, but still regarded the complete sharing of knowledge as the most important criterion. In this case, a group of the greatest scientists on the planet began to work day and night on a simple dream: to go to the stars.

The original rocket was not launched from the ground, perhaps because of the transformation of the boarder, the Abyss Star also has a strong planetary magnetic field, so this rocket was actually launched directly on a high-altitude platform that uses geomagnetic levitation, when the first satellite began to orbit the planet slowly from the sky, the entire civilization was boiling, and they saw for the first time this land that was once called the Abyss, which was a jewel-like beautiful planet.

The sharing of knowledge allowed them to develop incredibly rapidly, from the first manned space flight to the landing on the asteroid belt floating around the Abyss Star, almost the entire civilization was completely engaged in the exploration of space, it was an era of frenzied spacecraft launches, and satellites flew into the sky from different parts of the planet almost every day.

However, none of them thought that the first time they discovered the true signs of the existence of an extraterrestrial civilization was not the highly-anticipated space exploration team at all, but the ancient geological researchers that no one had paid attention to.

Not long after the beginning of the technological era, the Abyss discovered that there was an ocean beneath their earth, and although they did not have the ability to dig through the ground several kilometers thick, like most civilizations, they would deduce the types of faults that appeared at different depths through the various changes in seismic waves. While most people have their eyes on the sky, there are also those who have their eyes on the earth, wondering why this underground ocean exists, and decide to try to dig a tunnel to the ocean.

Probably a coincidence of fate, they not only dug through the location of the underground ocean in that experiment, but also discovered a secret that shocked the whole civilization...... It was a source spore dispersal base station left behind by the Ascenders, hanging upside down in a rocky layer above the subterranean ocean, and even though the Ascenders had never actually been there, the station was still fulfilling its original mission: recording the evolution of the source spores.

They were lucky, because the Ascenders did not set up any weapon system for this base station at all, perhaps in the eyes of the Ascenders, there was no need for any confidentiality of the data here, and even the most basic automatic destruction was not set, so they successfully entered the automatic base station that was built casually, and saw in the shock of the existence of alien civilizations that were stored in the simulated vacuum device......

It was as if the whole universe could be seen through them.

Even though the Ascenders had not encrypted it at all, it was only after the difficult decipherment of the data that they understood the true meaning of the station's existence, allowing the civilization that had been living in its own world to see a world that had never been seen before...... Even though they have been advocating for knowledge sharing, the existence of the Source Spore and the Ascender has been blocked from most of the truth, because the things behind it are so horrific that when the people of this civilization are full of anxiety to find the location recorded in the base station, they find nothing.

Why didn't the Ascenders exterminate the world a second time? Because they were gone, the terrifying beings that shaped the stars were no longer visible in the place where the original fleet was located, leaving only an empty vacuum and the automatic base stations still running on the Abyss Star.

Why did the Ascenders leave? There is no reason left in the base station, maybe this effort has been abandoned, maybe there has been some accident, but this will not have much impact on this civilization...... The Ascenders have been gone for at least two billion years, and no one would have thought that they had come back so soon, and perhaps they would never return.

"Look up all year round, freedom and truth, and all enemies will be destroyed."

"The source of ten thousand laws, endless drifting, will come again."

Source Spores have a lethal attraction, and while the Ascenders can't guide them to create those weird creatures, they do leave behind some simple means of using Source Spores to transform ordinary creatures, and some of them are exactly what this civilization can do with a little effort.

The rest of the story is easy to imagine, after this civilization is full of enthusiasm, the wisp of source spores that have remained until now have been isolated and some spores have begun to evolve, and a new life is born here, a special life that is completely different from them.

The little creature with some spores wrapped around it opened its eyes for the first time in the isolation cell of the lab, and it waved its long, soft auxiliary limbs to look at the researchers gathered outside the observation window, who looked nothing like it, not only did it have no eyes, but its body resembled silicon-based creatures made of colored crystals.

“…… Huh? ”

(Well, did anyone guess that this would be the case...... Laugh~)
