Chapter 267: Crossing the Gate of the Galaxy

The psionic concentration of the entire "Ellipse Galaxy Alpha" is rapidly decreasing with the passage of time.

The Fallen, who have a keen sense of psionic powers, are aware of this anomaly, but there is nothing they can do about it except psionic powers.

Having lost the Limbo Passage that allowed them to move across galaxies, even the psionic energy they needed to survive was now leaving them, leaving the remaining survivors in an extreme state.

Already insane, they began to wreak havoc indiscriminately in fear, but it didn't mean anything other than wasting what little physical energy they had left.

If they can come together and work as a group, they may be able to embark on a completely different path of development.

But the social environment has created a very low-density community of degenerates, each trying to hide themselves, even if one day they die of hallucinations.

So when the psionic power they relied on was gone, they were trapped and died on their planet.

How can a "high-level creature" with almost no senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, or even touch live on a barren land that is almost equal to the cosmic environment?

A fallen man put down the piece of flesh in his hand in confusion, then looked at the sandstorm around him.

His food had lost its psionic energy and had become ordinary protein, completely unable to replenish his increasingly barren psionic energy.

Extreme evolution that relied on psionic energy did not allow him to evolve cells capable of photosynthesis, nor did he have a body strong enough to resist natural storms, but when the psionic energy that sustained his life was exhausted, he would become a dried corpse in the sand.

The degenerate slumped to the ground, his eyes faded from his previous madness, and what remained was an eerie sluggishness.

The fading of psionic energy is also accompanied by the fading of hallucinations, and the strange scenes that filled his vision in the past are gone, and the only remaining psionic energy allows him to perceive the yellow sand flying in the sky around him.

This is completely different from his crazy world, and the contrast is so huge that he can't even tell which world is "real".

The whispers that were whispering in my ears a moment ago were now only the whistling sound of the wind and sand, and this whistling sound was still gradually decreasing with the decay of spiritual energy.

The storm never stopped, but he didn't have a sense of hearing, relying on his psychic "sixth sense" to listen to the sounds of nature.

He then lay down directly in the sand, feeling the friction of the sand grains gliding over his body with his residual sense of touch.

Gradually, he realized that this seemed to be the real world, a real world that he had never experienced in detail.

There is no pain, no tormenting hallucinations, just a primordial heartbeat and a new pulse.

The psionic energy had not completely disappeared from him, but his consciousness was gradually fading, and the sudden relaxation of the spirit caused the various organs of his body to begin to weaken rapidly, and the internal organs that had been maintaining high-intensity work for a long time could not adapt to this relaxation, and were dying in large numbers.

However, this pain is nothing compared to the previous hallucinations, and the spiritual fluttering has made him only want to stop time in this moment, even if it represents the death of the "soul".

The light of the stars gradually rises at the edge of the horizon and also begins to illuminate this dark world.

With the last beat of his heart, something seemed to emerge from the body of the degenerate, but it disappeared in the sand like a dream.

The dust had buried the dead body, and everything seemed to be going on as usual.

But in this sky, heavy rain clouds magically appeared, and a huge amount of water fell after a period of lightning and thunder.

A long river of water washed over the sandy area, eventually forming a lake that never seemed to dry up, and a corpse floated in the water and finally sank to the bottom.

The old era has come to an end, and a new era will begin here.

……

“…… The psionic energy has decayed to normal levels, and while it is still higher than the average concentration of the Milky Way, it may make it a different color. ”

After testing the average concentration of this galaxy again, Li Wenyuan recorded it in the archive of "Elliptical Galaxy Alpha" and sealed it in the database.

Documenting the basic conditions of the places visited is what a serious traveler should have, and these are invaluable assets that can provide many experimental models.

"Then again, 'moving limbo...... There can still be such a thing, and if it is speculated like this, is the 'traveler' civilization a developed 'imaginary realm'? ”

"It's no longer the world of 'Void Creatures' and 'Void Gods', but controlled by 'Void Civilization'......"

"Assuming that the Zelo don't perish due to infighting, will their final form be to enter the 'Higher World' or become the 'Void Civilization'?"

From the exchange with this "ring" of the virtual realm, Li Wenyuan learned a secret, that is, the virtual realm can be moved.

Although the virtual realm itself needs to be established in the spiritual world of living organisms, when it grows to a certain extent, it will no longer be "matter determines spirit", but becomes "spirit determines matter".

At that point, the galaxy that may have given birth to that imaginary realm is the "dream realm", and the imaginary realm is the "real universe".

At that point, the Shroud will no longer be anchored in the spirits of those creatures, but will develop freely.

However, all this is still in the stage of theory after all, and even if the "ring" that has taken over the virtual realm here is not sure that it will be able to reach this step.

But this also provided Li Wenyuan with a lot of useful information, at least a deeper understanding of the virtual realm and spiritual energy.

“…… After taking over the 'observation terminal' here, it has been confirmed that there really is no 'Correction Agreement' in this galaxy...... Isn't this extreme purification machine present in every galaxy? ”

What is still a little incomprehensible to Li Wenyuan is the fact that there is no "purging and rectification agreement" here.

"Maybe the creators of the 'Correction Protocol' also have their own self-esteem, and they thought that life could not be born here, so they didn't install the 'Correction Protocol' here?"

"But it's also possible that they saw that the 'Traveler' civilization had done something here, and knew that this galaxy would definitely perish, so they left the ...... directly."

His guess was not unreasonable, after all, if he hadn't come here, it would have been a dead end, and even a simple single-celled life might not survive.

“…… In any case, everything that needs to be understood and what should be obtained here is also in hand...... The stay here was not very long, perhaps because there was only one civilization in nature. ”

After checking what he was going to take with him again, Li Wenyuan's spacecraft carried the belongings that had been compressed in the "miniature galaxy" to the supermassive black hole at the center of the elliptical galaxy.

Compared to the galactic black hole, the black hole here is much smaller, only about five million times the mass of the sun, and the diameter is not as large as the exaggerated galaxies.

And around this black hole, it is just a single "alien gate".

Without the foundation of the "Eternal World", the "Alien Gate" would have looked like a large structure.

"Is this the end of this journey? It's a bit short......"

Grey Wind looked a little bored, she hadn't been able to find anything of interest in this elliptical galaxy, and even the creatures here were something she hated.

However, Li Wenyuan was not at all, he replied to the gray wind road while debugging the alien gate that had taken the initiative to enter the connection through the remote signal:

"It's short-lived, but at least it's rewarding, and I've added a lot of things to my database...... Among them, most of them are spiritual. ”

The long-unused "Alien Gate" megastructure is back in operation, and a usage record is prominently displayed in the list, which is the record with the destination pointing to the "Vortex Galaxy Alpha".

After adjusting the state of the "alien gate", the familiar gravitational anomaly like a "curtain" blocked a large area of space around the spacecraft, and "shot" it to a more distant point of light.

There is the "Spiral Galaxy Alpha", a galaxy in the "dark forest".
