In the depths of the earth, there is an underground lake with a diameter of more than ten miles, where the yin and yang meet between the outer layer of magma and the frozen water of the inner layer, and the surrounding walls are covered with strange flowers and plants, exuding brilliant five-colored light.

This is one of the three hundred and sixty-five earth's apertures, and the main connecting channel between the aura of heaven and earth in the mantle and the aura on the ground, so it has also become the foothold of the Temple of War projected from the void this month, and it has been thirty years since the last time it was settled.

When Zhao Qing carried the crystal jade spirit staff and other trophies and turned into a golden sword rainbow and flew away from the northwest region, on the lonely rocky island in the center of the earth, in the extremely magnificent temple of the god of war, the soft blue light had already dimmed, setting off the star map at the top of the hall to reveal silver points of light.

I saw that in this circular star map, thousands of bright stars were displayed, among which more than a dozen grains were extremely large, located in the inner circle centered on the sun, which were the sun, moon and several major planets of the solar system.

In the activated state, the star map at the top of the palace began a real-time simulation of the Zhou Tian star bucket, the accuracy of which was marked in a variety of professional measurement methods, and the strings of flowing data flickered, not only describing the three walls and twenty-eight nakshatras familiar to ordinary astronomers, but also countless other constellations, many of which are not found in the classics.

With the operation of the star map, the whole sea of stars is shining with silver, and the way of enlarging the inner circle and shrinking the outer circle shows the picture of the Milky Way with the solar system as the center point, which is not only magnificent and dazzling, but also the grandeur of the data is unimaginable, forming a huge contrast with the unpretentious stone temple.

Under the shroud of starlight, you can see that the huge wall in the hall has carved a line of big seals from top to bottom, the end is separated by at least 30 zhang outside, each word zhang Xu sees the square, the book reads: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs."

There is no doubt that it can reflect such complex star changes, and the stone wall is still engraved with the great seal of the Zhou Dynasty, but its age is much older than that of Guangchengzi, and the origin of the Temple of the God of War must have mysterious secrets, and even involve the existence of another similar universe.

If you look to the right of the northernmost point of Kuijuku, you can see a hazy spindle-shaped bright spot, and when you zoom in, you will find that the bright spot has a structure similar to that of the Milky Way, and according to the name of the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan's personal combination with the database of the Temple of War, it is called "Kuisu North Zengganyi" or "Kuisu Great Nebula" (i.e., the Andromeda Galaxy).

That's right, the ancients in the Temple of the God of War, except for Guangchengzi, are the true ancestor of the Demon Gate, "Heavenly Demon" Cangxuan, who was originally an immortal genius during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and actually survived to this day more than 700 years later.

At this moment, he woke up from his dormant state, merged his mind into the information center of the light source above, manipulated and mobilized the star map displayed in real time on the top of the temple, and suddenly enlarged the area where the "Kuizhu Nebula" was located, so that it occupied half of the entire star map.

Starting from a bright and conspicuous star at the edge of the Pleiades Nebula, a faint dotted line stretches straight out in the direction of the Milky Way, and a slow-moving black dot on the dotted line has crossed nearly half of the interstellar distance, and the dotted line in front of the dot is obviously much denser than in the back.

"Is it really speeding up? Involving only ordinary mortals who have not yet transcended the fate of the positive space, the Kuixing Prophet can calculate their approximate future in an instant...... Therefore, the development of purely material science is meaningless and will only lead to the early demise of human civilization. ”

When he saw the scene on the star map that represented the acceleration of the Kuixing spaceship in the middle of the process, Cangxuan's eyes went deep, and his soul seemed to be hidden from the outside in, hidden in a certain secret place in his soul, and suddenly he let out a long sigh, turned his head to look at the remains of Guang Chengzi, who seemed to be like a statue, and opened his mouth to break the silence that had been in the Temple of the God of War for hundreds of years.

The power from other universes who built the Temple of the God of War, although his cultivation was unfathomable to the extreme, and because he was once a human being, he set up a series of shelters for the earth, and left a message in the temple indicating that the aliens would invade;

But maybe he couldn't fully analyze the rules of this universe in a short period of time, or he felt that the human beings on the earth needed to be tempered before they could achieve great things, in short, the other party chose to leave after arranging it casually, and the strength of the means to stay was quite limited.

Therefore, Guang Chengzi, who has attained the "Broken King Kong", as the original discoverer of the Temple of the God of War, although he is in charge of transmitting information between the channels of the two realms, aims to use the resident immortal body as a medium to break through the void at a critical moment and lure the cultivators of the "Heavenly Realm" to descend to earth;

However, in the battle that ambushed the Kui Xingren probe, he also paid a huge price, absorbing the memory fragments that escaped when the enemy's soul was scattered at an interval of tens of thousands of miles, and obtained vital information to deal with the apocalyptic catastrophe.

In order to gain a little more life in this catastrophe that may be extinct of the world, the alien memory obtained by Guang Chengzi can be imagined, and the significance it represents can be imagined, so that everyone who has joined the civilization rescue plan for generations finally learned more and more detailed information in addition to astronomical knowledge and star map monitoring.

It is also because of the information in these more than a dozen memories that the salvation organization founded by Guangchengzi, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, Ning Fengzi and other Taoist ancestors more than 3,000 years ago and has developed to its heyday after Yu Xia Shang ushered in a huge change and diverged in philosophy.

The reason is very simple, as Zhao Qing expected, after the tragic victory, everyone found that the extraterritorial heavenly demons they named the "Kuixing people" civilization were ridiculously powerful, as early as a million years ago, they basically unified the Kui Nebula larger than the Milky Way, and there were tens of millions of colonized stars in the territory, and there was an insurmountable gap between the strength and the earthlings who were still in the Bronze Age.

In the common sense of the dozen or so explorers, not to mention that compared to the regular army of a colonial star, even the escort of a small city has the ability to sweep away a continent, and it is superior in firepower compared to an expedition ship like theirs, which is occupied by faster-than-light engines.

As for the level of individual combat power, unless it has reached the supreme cultivation comparable to a pulsating variable star like the Great Prophet and the Supreme Head, it is far inferior to the scientific and technological weapons that match the status and wealth;

Under normal circumstances, because individual combat power only increases the accuracy of control in the face of individual weapons and shipborne weapons, the Kuixing people usually focus on spiritual cultivation only because of their society's demand for divination ability, and do not pay much attention to physical strengthening.

A grandmaster-level strength like an expedition team can be equipped with a priceless faster-than-light engine to explore the galaxy across millions of light years, and it is already quite good in terms of wealth, status, and cultivation, and its spiritual power alone is not inferior to that of the earth's celestial and great masters, and it is far stronger than the civilian class of the Kuixing civilization.

Attaching great importance to divination, or the ability of individual consciousness to predict the future, is the biggest feature of the Kuixing civilization, from eating and courtship, buying houses and land, investing in exploration, to the site selection of the planet transformation plan, the construction and development direction of a star system, the trade war between interstellar giants, and even the major decisions of the entire civilization, all of which must be added to the mystic divination process combined with multiple types of big data, in order to be recognized by the Kuixing people from the heart.

After scientific research, due to the close connection between consciousness and time and fate, the divination of Kuixing practitioners is not a feudal superstition, but a real grasp of a certain possibility in the future, which may be interfered with by other diviners and extraordinary powers, but generally speaking, it is still more effective.

Therefore, with the development of society and the continuous improvement of the level of science and technology, the Kuixing civilization has established a multi-level parliamentary system that divides classes based on spiritual cultivation and divination ability, and the ruling class at the top is respected as "prophet" and "great prophet", and the supreme head of the entire civilization is elected in rotation among many great prophets.

In order to predict the future more accurately, the Kuixing prophets would even spend thousands of years completely transforming a star system from the outside to the inside in a specified way, and then forcibly destroy the star in its center, observing the spread of planetary nebulae in detail, and interpreting the future direction of their civilization.

However, even when the destruction of galaxies is used as a medium for divination, involving the distant future and the complex and ever-changing picture of galaxies, each great prophet calculates the results in different ways, and it is difficult to ensure that they are truly valid, and they often diverge from each other.

"A war waged over a long distance spanning hundreds of billions of miles is only caused by the calculation of a 'prophet' of the opposing race, believing that millions of galactic civilizations, including humans, will develop normally, and one of them will have the opportunity to unify the entire galaxy within 100,000 years, threatening the survival of its own civilization."

"It may sound ridiculous, but this is the powerful foundation of the higher civilizations that can dominate matter with spirit......

"According to the information left behind in the Temple of the God of War, in another universe where humans also exist, the creatures of the universe are divided into nine classes according to the way they absorb and use energy. Primitive humans absorbed energy from their physical bodies and belonged to the lowest level of creatures. ”

"They had the opportunity to evolve to a higher level, but unfortunately they embarked on the road of no return to the material civilization, resulting in encountering higher-level enemies when they left the galaxy, which was simply vulnerable."

Heavenly Demon Cangxuan sighed, when he entered the Temple of the God of War, he learned that the Kuixing people had risen up in the past 10,000 years to explore the galaxy and destroy the local civilization by the way, which was such an unexpected reason, and he was really shocked for a while, knowing the insignificance of human beings in the starry sky.

The reason why it was only an expedition, and unofficially launched a large-scale military invasion, was due to the opposition of several veteran great prophets, and the divination predicted that this move might lead to adverse results, limiting the powerful force of the Kuixing people to sweep the galaxy, and only a small number of iron fans who believed in the previous prophet would risk smuggling out of the country with the potential support of the prophet's forces, and launched an invasion of weak civilizations in the name of exploration.

There is naturally another reason for not trusting the Great Prophet who is equivalent to the Supreme Head, but preferring to believe the predictions of an ordinary prophet, contrary to the cultural customs of the Kuixing people, and that is the potential profit.

As early as when the Kuixing people first entered the interstellar civilization, the prophets calculated that although the Kui Nebula was larger than the Milky Way, the concentration of aura was only about one-third of the latter, and the activity of aura was two or three percent higher, but unfortunately it was currently showing a gradual downward trend.

Overall, the activity of the Quessel Nebula is getting lower and lower, and although it still maintains an aura in the core area that exceeds the concentration and activity of the silver heart, it has entered a stage of irreversible aura decline hundreds of millions of years ago, and it may be possible to recover it by annexing a few dwarf galaxies with abundant aura in time.

Obviously, in order to obtain more aura resources, the Kuixing people, whose civilization and technology have been stagnant for a long time, should theoretically invade the galaxy to become more prosperous and prosperous, so that many people can be promoted by class.

In the face of major interests, despite the repeated warnings of many great prophets and the large number of interstellar bans they have issued, breaking into the galaxy for exploration, and even colonial expansion, has become the dream of many Kuixing people in the new era;

Eventually, the prophecy of a certain prophet became a massive trend of thought, and a large number of civil expeditions actually emerged to do so, with the help of one of the prophet's minor radical prophets.

After discovering that an inconspicuous expedition ship had lost contact with the earth, the expedition organization to which the expedition ship belonged had an average level of divination, and it did not pay much attention to it, only suspecting that it was a malfunction or a black eater, and reported it to the little prophet of the superior as usual, but it was highly valued by the other party;

After a joint divination review by several minor prophets, they raised the potential rating of Earth's civilization, and asked the organization to send a main fleet stationed near a pulsating variable star at the edge of the nebula to probe the detailed information of Earth, rather than sending ordinary stowaways who were no more advanced than the previous expedition ship.

Perhaps the strength of this main fleet is less than one-thousandth of the total power of a little prophet, but compared to ordinary expedition ships that unload high-risk weapons in order to facilitate smuggling, there is an extremely huge gap in the number of its personnel, the cultivation of the strongest individuals, and the firepower of the warships, which is enough to make the earth civilization have no power to resist.

The only thing that can be regarded as a few advantages is the advanced cultivation system passed down through the War God Temple, which is not inferior to the spiritual cultivation of the Kuixing civilization in many aspects, but it is not as convenient as the assistance of relevant science and technology.

In particular, the "God of War Catalogue", which is a supreme divine skill created by the power of the outer universe, is divided into four major cultivation stages: stardust, nebula, star change, and star sea.

Except for a few cultivators who were barely shattered and soared and had low qualifications, the high-level cultivators of the earth throughout the ages were currently in the cultivation stage of the Nebula Chapter, among which the top geniuses such as Guangchengzi and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor had made other achievements on the basis of the God of War Catalogue and had already reached the peak of that stage.

The "star change" above the "nebula" is quite related to the pulsating variable star mentioned many times before, focusing on turning consciousness into a vast nebula, wrapping a huge amount of heaven and earth vitality to shape it into a periodic pulsating variable star.

……

The so-called pulsating variable star is a star whose opacity changes due to the opacity of the envelope caused by the semi-ionization zone, causing the periodic expansion and contraction of the star's interior, and the change in brightness can reach tens of millions of miles in its radius between expansion and contraction.

If you regard the pulsating variable star as a huge cultivator, it can swallow up to hundreds of billions of times the volume of heaven and earth Yuan Qi at a time of several days, forming a natural super giant Yuan Qi reactor, releasing almost immeasurable majestic energy, which is extremely bright from the perspective of Yuan Qi radiation, and can be called a galaxy-level "lighthouse".

In the Milky Way, there are about 100,000 known pulsating variable stars, each of which has been marked on the star map of the Temple of the God of War, among which the closest to the earth, the "Cepheid", the influence range of a single star on the aura is as high as hundreds of light years, which is enough to significantly increase the concentration of aura in the adjacent star system.

In the galactic sense, although the effect of pulsating variable stars on the aura environment is several orders of magnitude worse than that of supermassive black holes, it still has an extraordinary effect, which is much stronger than neutron stars and low-mass black holes that have limited influence on aura due to their small size.

Generally speaking, the energy released per unit volume of ordinary stars is not as efficient as that of lower organisms, and advanced civilizations are not very eye-catching, but for a small number of pulsating variable stars that fully react with the aura, they will be transformed into a production base for faster-than-light engine fuel, which shows its importance.

The reason why the faster-than-light engine was able to exceed the speed of light was that it was precisely by compressing and purifying the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi of the repulsive attribute that it concentrated on one point to forcibly tear the void and open the passage into the subspace, which was roughly the same as the broken void in principle.

To put it simply, because of the special structure of the pulsating variable star adapted to the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, in a sense, it can be equated with the artifact of the mass-produced Shattered Ascension.

Therefore, although the volume of variable stars created by the "Star Change" period will certainly not be as huge as the real pulsating variable stars, as long as it can go further from the "Nebula" period and enter the key level of "Star Change", it will be a truly new world, directly catching up with the "little prophet" or even "prophet" level of the Kuixing civilization, so as to have the combat power of individuals to resist a powerful fleet.

After confirming the astonishing strength of the future enemy, although a considerable number of ascenders were unwilling to make senseless sacrifices, and only wanted to escape to the depths of the void as soon as possible to avoid danger, so as to preserve the fire of civilization, several sages represented by Guang Chengzi still decided to support the strategy of resistance;

According to the speed of the fleet monitored by the Temple of War, the main force of the expedition organization maintained a straight line of about 800 times the speed of light, and it will come in 1,500 years, such a long time, they may not have the opportunity to break through to a higher realm.

The development of science and technology like Zhao Qing's great prosperity is very easy to be calculated by the Kuixing Prophet from a distance of tens of billions of miles, further improving the enemy's assessment of the potential of the earth, and issuing orders to speed up the voyage and even increase the number of troops, the effect is far less than the high-level cultivation plan with its own anti-divination ability.

It was precisely because of the discovery of such a change that at this moment, the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan interrupted his practice of closing the death pass to try to prove the "Broken King Kong", and manipulated the star map at the top of the hall to detect and confirm that the enemy would arrive in advance, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Originally, he was quite dissatisfied with Guang Chengzi and others for placing all their hopes on the Star Change Chapter of the "God of War Catalog" that would take tens of thousands of years to truly cultivate, so he finally made up his mind to carry out another radical plan.

"Cangxuan, in fact, you don't need to think too badly about things, you must know that the premise of entering faster-than-light navigation is that consciousness can withstand the washing of distorted time in the void, and the higher the multiple of exceeding the speed of light, the higher the requirements for the consciousness intensity of the crew."

Just as Cang Xuan was controlling the star map to observe the dashed track and estimate how far the fleet would accelerate, Guang Chengzi's extremely slow voice suddenly sounded in the depths of his heart:

"If there is not enough consciousness strength to keep the frequency of spiritual energy in line with the strange space-time, the spacecraft in the subspace will be permanently lost in the depths of the void due to the singularization of the quantum observation effect."

"If only some people have the strength of consciousness to match the speed and maintain the existence of the ship, those passengers who cannot meet the requirements will have their soul life span passing quickly, and they will be completely destroyed after a certain distance."

"Therefore, once the enemy fleet forcibly increases its speed beyond the limit of most of the crew, the number of people who arrive in the first batch will also be greatly reduced, so that the Kuixing people who are not mentally cultivated will split up another fleet and leave them behind at their original speed."

Although it was only four short paragraphs, because the speed of Guangchengzi's voice transmission was slow to a certain level, it took more than half an hour to finish it all;

It is "the essence of the way, the most slender." To the extreme, faint and silent. Ignore and listen, hold your mind and be quiet, and your form will be self-righteous. It will be quiet and clear, without the form of labor, without shaking the spirit, without thinking about camping, but can live forever. ”

Knowing that Guang Chengzi's words were surprisingly slow, it was because the cultivation of the "Recipe for Longevity" created by him corresponded to the cultivation stage of the "Nebula Chapter" and the consciousness activity was slowed down by a thousand times, Cangxuan was not surprised by this, and he checked the situation of the dotted black dot according to his words, and indeed found that it seemed to be slowly dividing into two slightly smaller black dots.

According to the part about subspace navigation in the basic education of the Kuixing people, the consciousness intensity of the ordinary people of the primitive civilization who was originally evolved was just adapted to the speed of light in the stable positive space, and then every time the consciousness intensity was doubled, they could withstand the time distortion caused by the speed of light by double the speed of light.

Therefore, regardless of the rules of other universes like the builder of the Temple of War, any interstellar civilization that has developed a faster-than-light engine must have a cultivation system that can improve spiritual minds.

Because Guang Chengzi's speed of speech was too slow, when Cang Xuan heard the other party's final words, he had already estimated that the first batch of fleets that only left the cultivation elite would reach a subspace speed of about 1,500 times the speed of light, which meant that it would officially arrive in eight hundred years.

"You mean, it might be a lot easier to deal with two armies apart in seven hundred years than to fight them all at once? However, this is only without taking into account the fact that the enemy can increase his forces at any time. ”

did not agree with the other party's remarks because Guangchengzi was the founder of the organization, and Heavenly Demon Cangxuan made a reasonable analysis of this, pointing out the biggest problem:

Even if he manages to defeat the first fleet of elite explorers, the Prophet of Kuixing will be able to reassess the strength of the Earth, trumpet the galactic threat theory, and send a truly elite regular army to invade.

In any case, the more information Kuixing Prophet received about the earth, the greater the strength of the enemies facing this crisis and catastrophe, which was the basis for Cangxuan, who had secretly fought against the Confucian forces for many years, to draw his judgment.

Also based on this element of intelligence, Cang Xuan launched a special experiment that was very different from the orthodox resistance plan hundreds of years ago, hoping to use the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa" he created as a blueprint to gradually realize a grand plan that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Two months ago, Zhao Qing received the attention of Guang Chengzi, and in the test of integrating his mind into the fireball, he was considered to have the potential to cultivate the Star Change Chapter of the God of War Catalog, and he had already predetermined the identity of the main force of the future resistance, although the development of science caused adverse consequences;

However, Cangxuan, who learned of this, did not feel bad for her because of this, thinking that Zhao Qing, who did not know the inside story, was extremely evil, on the contrary, he recognized her idea of educating the people and improving the potential of civilization in the outside world, and felt that he might be able to take this opportunity to change the situation of the high-level monks shrinking into the void in one fell swoop.

However, Cang Xuan calls himself the Heavenly Demon, his actions are often contrary to the mainstream ideology, and cannot be tolerated by ordinary people, if he really leaves the Temple of the God of War and sneaks into the outside world and launches his deviant plan, will he conflict with the ruling Zhao Qing?
