Chapter 1: Searching for Cultivation Civilization
Endless universe, vast sea of stars.
The Exploration F9 spacecraft was flying at sub-light speeds, and just now, the spacecraft left a star system.
"Xingling, haven't you found it yet?" Zhou Tianci, the owner of the spaceship, was wearing a white long coat, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the crystal platform half a meter in front of him, on which an oval-shaped unknown object was suspended.
Zhou Tianci frowned, thinking in his heart.
In the empty hall, a pleasant voice sounded.
"God, I've scanned this seed through a proton resonance machine, and nothing has come of it yet. I've discovered that there is an unknown energy shield outside this seed, and our Type 3 protons can't get inside at all. ”
As he spoke, a 3D image appeared in front of Zhou Tianci, and the picture was an enlarged image of the seed, from which Zhou Tianci saw a layer of black light shrouded around the seed.
Zhou Tianci became more interested in this seed.
"Star Spirit, according to your analysis, the Mordgan galaxy originally had a civilization, but around 20 million years ago, the civilization of this galaxy suddenly disappeared, and finally only this thing called a seed remained......"
The pleasant voice sounded again: "As far as I know, it is true. ”
"Then to what extent do you think the civilization of the Mordgan Galaxy has developed, and what kind of civilization do they belong to?" Zhou Tianci asked.
"The information obtained is limited, so I can't accurately judge, but I think that the probability that this civilization belongs to a cultivation civilization is more than 60%. ”
Zhou Tianci's eyes flashed: "Cultivating civilization...... Although there is no evidence, I agree with you in my heart. In any case, this seed is very likely to be related to the secret of cultivation civilization, and I must study it carefully. ”
Zhou Tianci is a cosmic explorer, and the star spirit is his biological intelligence system. The so-called explorers of the universe are the products of the development of human civilization to a certain extent. A million years ago, humans officially walked out of the earth and began to establish settlements on the moon, and then humans tried to transform Mars into the third habitable planet in the solar system.
Interstellar migration has brought about a leap forward in human science and technology, which in turn has accelerated the development of human civilization, and in just 200 years, humans have completely conquered the solar system and began to explore other star systems. 100,000 years later, human footprints have set foot in the entire galaxy, and human civilization has developed rapidly.
Against this backdrop, many people have begun to step out of the earth and into the distant universe, and such people are called cosmic explorers.
However, there is one factor that greatly restricts human exploration of the universe, and that is the longevity of human beings. Even in the interstellar age of highly developed civilization, human beings cannot live longer than 300 years due to their own genetic limitations.
Of course, compared to before the interstellar era, 300 years is a long lifespan.
Some human beings began to look for a solution to lifespan from ancient myths and legends, and this group of people tried to explore the fantasy path of cultivation, but unfortunately, in the era of extreme technology, this path seemed to be broken.
However, fate is so wonderful, just when human beings were dying of cultivation, a cosmic explorer discovered the ruins of a certain cultivation civilization. The information on the ruins is very limited, but it has given great encouragement to human beings and set off a cultivation frenzy in human civilization. After 700,000 years of evolution, the human race has finally taken a step forward and increased the overall lifespan to 500 years, and the lifespan of the most outstanding cultivators can even reach 2,000 years!
Zhou Tianci is a powerful cultivator, he looks like he is only in his twenties, his actual age is already more than 400 years old, according to his cultivation realm, Zhou Tianci's lifespan is about 1,300 years.
Like most space explorers, Zhou Tianci is madly obsessed with the unknown in the universe and spends 90% of his life drifting in the universe.
"Star Spirit, this is the ninth civilization site we have discovered. Zhou Tianci looked at the star system behind him through the screen in the control center and said softly.
"Yes, God-given, and at the same time, the Mordgan civilization is also the 113876421 civilization site discovered by mankind. ”
"It's amazing how much civilization there is. It's just that I have never understood why these civilizations are left with only ruins, and what is the reason for their demise...... Do you think that one day, human civilization will suddenly disappear into the long river of the universe like them?" Zhou Tianci muttered.
"Intellectually speaking, this is inevitable, nothing is eternal, this is true of life, and so is the universe. ”
Zhou Tianci said: "Is there really no eternity?"
A galaxy 1 billion kilometers away from Zhou Tianci, a golden light suddenly appeared, this light did not fall from the sky, nor did it come out of nothing, it appeared very strangely. The light is 8 million miles long, and it overshadows the stars in the galaxy in one fell swoop. Strangely, the light it emits is not blazing or burning, but rather has an icy feeling.
The moment the light appeared, the galaxy seemed to be torn apart and began to collapse, forming an expanding black hole around the light, and the black hole emitted like a wave of water, swallowing the entire galaxy in an instant.
At the same time as the star system was changing, Zhou Tianci on the spaceship had a sense in his heart, as if something terrible had happened. Not only him, but countless civilizations in the universe, all intelligent beings have felt it, no one can say that feeling, but all living beings can clearly sense it.
Zhou Tianci, who was closest to the mutation, had the strongest induction.
"What's going on, Star Spirit?" Zhou Tianci asked.
"Everything works fine. Artificial Intelligence Xingling said.
Zhou Tianci felt even more abnormal, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that he was shrouded in darkness, saw the entire galaxy shrouded in darkness, saw the entire Pegasus galaxy shrouded in darkness, and saw the entire universe shrouded in darkness......
"Is this the end of the universe? Why can I see it?" was Zhou Tianci's last thought.
......
In the grassland of the northwest border of Dayu Kingdom, a war has just ended, and the battlefield is in shambles. Judging from the scene, the men and horses dressed in black and red were equally killed and wounded, and as many as tens of thousands of corpses were left in the open field, which shows the tragedy of the war.
At dusk, a group of red-eyed vultures descended on the battlefield, and to the east, more than a hundred green wolves were also approaching, and the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers were a big meal in their eyes.
In the setting sun, more and more beasts are coming, red-eyed vultures, green wolves, short-tailed hyenas, megalodons, human-faced bears...... The terrifying thing is that these fierce beasts are waiting quietly on the periphery of the battlefield, and none of them dare to step forward.
As night fell, the bloody aura of the battlefield spread out in all directions under the blowing of the night wind, causing a commotion among the beasts waiting to hunt for food.
In the quiet night, a voice suddenly appeared, which was the sound ......of heavy armor colliding. Then, in the center of the battlefield, a corpse got up, then fell again, and after that, a thin figure sat up in the starlight.
The scene startled the red-eyed vultures into the air, causing the green wolf to howl.
"This is the battlefield?" Zhou Tianci held his head that was still dizzy, and it took more than ten minutes to stand up, he looked around by the starlight, surrounded by corpses, guns and halberds everywhere.
"How did I end up here, did I survive the collapse of the universe?" Zhou Tianci only felt that his head was full of questions at this time, but he quickly put those doubts in the back of his mind. As a senior explorer of the universe, Zhou Tianci has a calmness and endurance that ordinary people can hardly imagine, even after experiencing such a strange thing, he can still be calm.
Zhou Tianci thought about it in his brain for a while, and he had no clue.
"I don't seem to be who I used to be, is this a crossing?" Zhou Tianci looked at his hands, then touched his cheeks, guessing in his heart.
In the interstellar era, all kinds of time-traveling theories and conjectures are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which are no longer just fantasies, but have been put into practice. Although Zhou Tianci felt that this kind of thing was absurd, he couldn't help but pay attention to it. However, in his memory, he has not heard of any successful examples.
Walking on his tired legs, Zhou Tianci staggered forward, whether it was crossed or not, it was the best thing for him to be alive. In the starlight, Zhou Tianci groped for more than a dozen corpses and found some water and food.
After replenishing his physical strength, Zhou Tianci has a general understanding of the environment he is in, and it is definitely abnormal for him to be alive now, no matter what the reason is, it is more worthy of his cherishment. The surrounding beasts Zhou Tianci also discovered, although he didn't know many fierce beasts, it didn't prevent Zhou Tianci from understanding their terrifyingness.
"It seems that there is something that makes these beasts afraid to approach......" Zhou Tianci guessed, and reality has confirmed this.
After touching dozens more corpses, Zhou Tianci collected more food and water.
"The physical strength is almost recovered, and now the question is how to escape from the mouths of these beasts. Zhou Tianci was full of food and drink, and began to plan his escape plan. What surprised him was that his body was much stronger than in his previous life, and Zhou Tianci, who had calmed down, could clearly feel that there was a flow of qi in his body.
"This is the sign of a cultivator, could it be that I have traveled to the cultivation civilization?" Zhou Tianci couldn't help but be overjoyed.
