Chapter 39: The 100,000 Vanishing Suns, Ascending the Stairs
The edge of the solar system.
On the asteroid belt outside Pluto.
The space is torn apart.
Li Changqing and Lin Haozhi walked side by side.
Behind the two of them was the burning sun, looking ahead, and beyond the countless fine meteorites, there was nothingness.
In the vastness of the universe, the most common are not the stars that burn eternally and scatter light and heat around them, nor are they the stars that can give birth to life, or the broken meteorites.
In the whole universe, the most will always be.
Nothingness of nothing.
There is no light, no heat, no matter.
It's a no-go zone for everything.
In the eternal night of nothingness, no one knows what monsters are hidden inside.
"Senior Lin, I've actually always had a problem."
Li Changqing stretched out his hand and pointed to the void in the distance.
"The edge of the Milky Way, even if it's just the third cantilever, is at least tens of thousands of light-years away from our solar system."
"I know that psionics can change the composition of their bodies and be the same as light and dust, but on the scale of the universe, the speed of light is not enough at all, could it be that the Space Force has mastered the way to travel faster than light?"
"I thought you'd wait until those old guys came over to ask." Lin Haozhi expected it early.
"Faster-than-light travel is indeed achievable if you use space expansion, but you can't cross tens of thousands of light-years in a few days."
Space expansion, that is, the legendary curvature of navigation.
Relying on the principle that the expansion of the universe exceeds the speed of light, it is indeed possible to travel faster than the speed of light by relying on the curvature of the space diaphragm.
However, this kind of travel is too cumbersome, and although there is no force in the acceleration and deceleration of curvature, it is too void compared to Li Changqing's fugue, which can flicker at any time, or psionics, who can turn at a continuous sharp angle.
Curvature navigation has no advantage in the slightest, except for large-scale travel.
And on the scale of the universe, such an advantage is not very significant.
The corners of Lin Haozhi's mouth hooked up in front of Li Changqing.
Raise your hand to outline a complex matrix of psionic energy.
"We, by this!"
In the center of the space, a passage slowly emerged under the psionic matrix.
"Cosmic wormholes, let's call him that, according to our observations, such cosmic passages are all over the third cantilever of the Milky Way, through which we can span tens of thousands of light-years in a few days."
"Although we haven't had time to set up other places yet, we suspect that such passages are scattered all around the galaxy."
Speaking of this, Lin Haozhi glanced at Li Changqing.
Of course, he knew the young man in front of him, and knew some secrets that even they didn't know, but it didn't matter.
As long as Li Changqing fights for Blue Star, he is a member of their Space Force.
"Until now, we don't know whether these cosmic wormholes are natural or man-made." Lin Haozhi raised his hand and used spiritual energy to draw a star map for Li Changqing.
"Some wormholes lead directly to the center of some galaxy, but some of them fall in very strange empty spaces, not like man-made."
"But at least, these wormholes can prove that some of our research in the Kunlun ruins is not a legend, and in the ancient past, we humans did use the old magic to practice and go to space."
Between words.
Three powerful psionic energies were transmitted from the other end of the passage.
Li Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly.
Three streamers appeared, and Lin Haozhi immediately closed the matrix in his hand.
He patted Li Changqing's shoulder with a smile in his eyes.
"This is what I told you about Li Changqing, a genius who has gone through the road of old art by himself."
"Now, I'm just waiting for when Boy Li will find a way to make our psionic cultivators convert."
The channel is closed.
Three old men with a very similar image and temperament to Lin Haozhi appeared in front of Li Changqing.
The same size, the same space force uniform.
According to Lin Haozhi, psionics are divided into three generations.
And he, along with most of the Space Force, are second-generation psionics.
Generation is the only one, the chosen one in subspace.
From ordinary people directly to the sky, soar to success.
The second generation is those of them who slowly accommodated the spiritual energy under the education of the first generation of psionic beings, and finally soared.
As for the three generations.
It is a psionic person who has ascended according to the complete path of cultivation after the completion of the preliminary planning of the lower middle and upper martial artists after the completion of the old art system.
"Nice, young man."
"We've all listened to Old Man Lin about this matter, you don't have to worry about anything else, just practice with peace of mind."
Li Changqing's gaze swept over the faces of the three seniors.
finally stopped in front of Lin Haozhi.
"Three seniors, the edge of the galaxy, has something happened?"
The keen Yang God told Li Changqing that the mental fluctuations of the three old-timers were quite violent.
"Boy, you're very sharp."
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties nodded at Li Changqing.
"This is Feng Qiang, the marshal of the Kunlun Third Front Army." Li Haozhi hurriedly introduced.
Then he pointed to the other two.
"This is Jiang Hua."
"This is Yuan Xiaozhi."
"Hello three marshals." Li Changqing greeted.
Then he looked at Feng Qiang, who had a serious face.
"Marshal Feng, is there something happening at the edge of the galaxy?"
Seeing that Lin Haozhi and Li Changqing's eyes were focused on him, Feng Qiang shook his head.
"The edge of the galaxy is normal, nothing happens."
"Just ......"
Feng Qiang raised his hand to gather spiritual energy.
A swirling galaxy phantom slowly emerged above the dark starry sky.
Through the brightness and shape of the galaxy, Li Changqing quickly recognized it.
This is the closest extragalactic galaxy to the Milky Way.
Holographic projection of the Andromeda Galaxy.
But Feng Qiang's movements did not end, as the holographic projection of the fairy planet slowly rotated in his hand.
The point of light that was not at all possible with the naked eye began to disappear abnormally under the perception of Li Changqing's Yang God.
"Do you see that?"
Feng Qiang looked at the two of them, and the Andromeda under the projection was obviously accelerated.
A second in the real world represents a year of rotation in Andromeda.
After a few seconds, the holographic projection paused.
Li Changqing and Lin Haozhi's eyes have become extremely solemn.
“108001。” The cold number spat out of his mouth.
"In less than three years, more than 100,000 stars went out without warning."
"Senior Feng Qiang, is this what you see through the light, or is it ......?"
"No, it's the real-time information we get through subspace, and if it's light, it's too scary."
The Andromeda Galaxy is located more than 2 million light-years from the Milky Way.
On the scale of the universe, light travels slower than a snail crawls.
The five of them looked at each other, and there was no need to say anything.
In the past few hundred years, if a thousand stars were extinguished in a century, it would be a huge anomaly.
What's more, in just three years, more than 100,000 stars went out without warning.
The bottom line is that these extinct stars are adjacent!
From a direction far away from the Milky Way, all the way to this side.
"It's them."
"It's their supplies."
Li Changqing let out a sigh of relief, there was no second possibility for such a result.
There's nothing better than a star to recharge an alien fleet.
"It's been more than 100 years, and they've finally arrived." A trace of confusion flashed in Lin Haozhi's eyes.
The opponent who has always been regarded as an imaginary enemy by them turned out to have arrived in the Andromeda galaxy three years ago.
The distance of more than 2 million light-years is a sea away for a civilization that can span galaxy clusters.
"Old Lin Tou, what's the matter, are you scared?" Jiang Hua, whose eyes were narrow, sneered.
"Other comrades are not worried, you sighed first, if you are afraid, you will go to the martial arts association and be a dog for aliens with them."
"Jiang Hua, why is your mouth as poisonous as it was seventy years ago?" Lin Haozhi was dismissive.
"Afraid? It's just absorbing 100,000 stars? No matter how high their magnitude is, can they be higher than subspace? They want to absorb the stars to replenish their energy, which means that their strength is not strong enough to completely violate the laws of the universe. ”
"What am I afraid of?"
Having drained more than 100,000 stars in three years, Li Changqing could imagine how huge the other party's fleet was.
Whether they are afraid or not, they cannot change this fact.
Blue Star's most formidable foe ever.
Already in the Andromeda galaxy.
Humans, there's not much time left.
"Evergreen." Lin Haozhi suddenly turned his head.
Since the other party has arrived in the Andromeda Galaxy, they have replenished three years of stellar energy.
It will never be more than ten years before their true march, even if measured by the time scale of the interstellar age.
Ten years.
They psionics don't have much room to improve anymore.
The first generation is nowhere to be found.
The only variable in human beings is only in Li Changqing.
It took less than a year to go from an ordinary college student to a qi practitioner who could be compared to a psionic person in a short period of time.
As Lin Haozhi turned his head.
Feng Qiang, Jiang Hua, and Yuan Xiaozhi also turned their heads one by one.
Although he hasn't returned to Blue Star for decades, Lin Haozhi communicates with them every week through subspace.
Naturally understood.
There is a demonic genius named Li Changqing on the Blue Star.
Being watched by the four most powerful psionic beings in the human race, Li Changqing did not feel any pressure.
He still raised his face slightly, and the picture scroll of Dayu swinging his sword and slashing the Milky Way in his mind seemed to be right in front of him.
"Leave it to me."
As one of the inheritors of the King of People, he, Li Changqing, had to take over the baton no matter what.
The inheritance of the king of men is both a strength and a responsibility.
Under the gaze of the four, he suddenly turned around.
"Changqing, what are you going to do?"
"It's self-cultivation."
Now that the alien fleet has arrived in the Andromeda system, the battle for survival has entered the countdown.
Every minute and every second must not be delayed!
……
InsideWorld.
Li Changqing stepped out and returned to his own world.
The White Tiger, the embodiment of destruction, is deducing the elevation of the world together with the incarnation outside his body.
[World Upgrade: 28%]
[Interior view: 15%]
"In three years, absorbing 100,000 stars, this fleet is absolutely unimaginably large."
Although I don't know what the aliens look like, although I don't know how terrifying the size of this fleet is.
But just from the scales and claws that peeked out of the starry sky, one could imagine how powerful the enemy they were about to face.
Being able to modify the speed of light rule of the starry sky around the solar system at an ultra-long distance can even see that the home star of this alien fleet is by no means comparable to the current blue star.
Huge technological generational gap, huge fleet.
Even if Li Changqing rolled out the old art cultivation method, how many qi practitioners could come out of it in just a few years?
And such a new force, in the face of such a powerful enemy, is just a mantis arm as a car.
Right now.
The only one you can rely on is yourself.
Land Wonderland!
You must go to the fairy road before the aliens arrive!
Li Changqing waved his cuffs.
The jade withered upside down and flew out.
"Li Changqing!"
The enemy was very red when he saw him.
As soon as he got out of his sleeve, Yu Diao scolded loudly.
"You can't die well, when I recover, I must break your body into pieces!"
Picking at his ears, he completely ignored Jade Wither's scolding.
"The alien fleet has reached the Andromeda Galaxy, and it will not take more than ten years at most, and it will inevitably descend on the solar system."
"Since you used to be an earth immortal, I need knowledge about the cultivation of the immortal path."
Hearing this, Yu Diao's whole person was in good spirits.
Before he died, he was turned into a machine spirit by the teacher, and he slept for countless years, and when he woke up, he met a group of descendants who were not very good.
Now he is bound by this kid in front of him who doesn't know the height of the sky.
He's been holding his breath for a long time!
"Now know begging me? It's late! ”
"Aliens? Come on, what does it have to do with me, anyway, I'm already dead, it's your own business. ”
Hearing this, Li Changqing was not angry at all.
He understood long before that.
This machine spirit is a particularly anxious fellow.
"That's right, after all, you're just a jade wither, and that kind of enemy is too high for you to climb."
"It's useless." Jade withered dismissively.
"It's still unattainable, if I were in my heyday, that kind of fleet, I would be able to destroy it with my fingertips."
Li Changqing didn't speak, just skimmed with puzzled eyes.
Then he shook his head wordlessly.
Jade Wither: ???
"You don't believe me?"
Li Changqing did not answer, but changed the topic.
"That's right, such a fleet may only be possible only by Lu Dongbin's predecessors."
"As for you......"
"Are you really his student?"
Speaking of this, Li Changqing suddenly waved his hand.
"I suddenly forgot that since the strength of Lu Dongbin's predecessor is far above yours, there must be a way for me to defeat the alien fleet in his inheritance."
He slapped his forehead, and suddenly turned his head to apologize to the jade wither.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you."
Jade Wither: !!
The next moment, Li Changqing's cuffs opened, and he was about to use the method in his sleeves.
Jade withered in a hurry.
He was in a hurry, too anxious to do it.
"Ignorant and arrogant."
"Even if my teacher teaches you face-to-face, within ten years, you will definitely not be able to become a land immortal."
"Yes, yes, you're right." Li Changqing still ignored it.
He had roughly understood the other party's thoughts.
"But don't worry too much."
"After all, I'm not you, I have Lu Dongbin's predecessors teaching me in person, and I still cultivate like this."
For a moment, Jade withered into a rage.
"Do you think you're talented?"
"It's just that in this era of the end of the law, you were lucky enough to get the master's inheritance, you don't think it's your own talent, right?"
Jade Wither's consciousness spun rapidly.
He wants to completely crush Li Changqing's self-confidence!
I don't understand at all why a scumbag who hasn't even finished the immortal road is so confident.
Why, more confident than me!
Li Changqing has just become a qi practitioner, no matter how talented you were before, you are a mediocre talent at this stage!
"I'll tell you."
"Long before I ascended to the immortal, I had already found the state of a chicken in heaven and earth."
"The Land Immortal Realm, as soon as I opened it up, it was a transcendent world.
"Well, if I hadn't made a mistake, my cave would have been a mythical world from the beginning!"
As he spoke, Jade Wither suddenly smiled disdainfully.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"I forgot that you don't know what Dongtian is, after all, you are a mediocre talent, and you can't touch this realm."
"Even I don't dare to say that I can complete the immortal road in ten years, why are you a mediocre talent?"
Talking and talking.
Only then did Yu Wither realize that the world around her seemed to be a little different?
saw Li Changqing turn around slightly.
"You're talking about the cave."
"I see, I've had it a long time ago."
Divine power lingered within him, and the land was verdant, and transcendent beings ran in it.
Above the Divine Peak.
The first deity of the Inner Realm reigns high in the Nine Heavens and drives the progress of the world.
Jade withered and froze.
He saw something.
"Interior !!"
"Impossible!"
He reluctantly turned to Li Changqing, but saw the latter scratching his head.
An innocent pair of eyes, without the slightest blemish.
"Did you say that you became an immortal before you opened up the Transcendent Cave Heaven?"
"That was a mistake."
As if he had been stuck with a mouthful of old blood, his humble words turned into a steel knife, piercing his heart.
Jade withered stupidly.
His consciousness spun wildly.
Finally, with the eyes of an immortal, he found the loophole in Li Changqing's world.
"What an otherworldly world."
"In vain!"
"There is no such thing as a hierarchy of living beings, it is all based on barbaric slaughter and unfiltered evolution."
"It's strange that a world like you can be upgraded!"
"So what is the ladder system?"
Jade withered subconsciously spoke:
"Ascend?"
"You don't even know that? Of course, it's like a cultivator, the cultivation system of the living beings themselves.
"Not even these, shoddy, you deserve to be called the transcendent world? I look at you......"
The mocking words stuck in his throat, and Jade Wither's consciousness suddenly rose.
I only saw Li Changqing's smiling face, as well as the side.
Constantly enlarged cuffs.
"Oh, thank you so much."
Sleeve up.
Harvest.
