Chapter 850 The Road to Extinct Stars (7400, ask for a monthly pass!)
"Gamma-ray burst, supernova explosion?!"
Ian froze.
He has long known the "disaster of light" prophesied by the Hall of All Souls, and vaguely regards it in his heart as a big problem that he must face in the future, but the young man never expected that everything would be so coincidental... His mechanical dragon spaceship was just Just about to leave Prison Star Heavenly Prison, a supernova exploded in the end!
Damn it, is it too late? Ian is very sure that his actions in this omen can be called the fastest.
Did not get involved in the war, did not popularize the inheritance of the arcane path, all the research is to prepare for the selection of the most suitable spaceship pilot and biological super-light spaceship - this time Ian in the omen, basically The best is to give up all other branches, focus on farming as fast as possible and take off to go beyond hell!
But in the end, it was still one step behind the Calamity of Light... The terrifying storm that was enough to destroy the entire Terra solar system would sweep across the star field and turn everything into ashes.
【Did the Calamity of Light actually erupt at this time? 】
Seeing this scene, Jifeng Dragon King was stunned briefly, then immediately became solemn: [Although the later prediction time is inaccurate, it is about twenty years... faster than what we and the Hall of All Souls imagined Some! 】
Turning his head to the side, the Dragon King's tone was extremely sincere and serious: [Ian! This is probably the most important forecast of natural disasters since the birth of Terra. Regardless of whether we are prepared for it in the future, you are the greatest prophet in the history of Terra alone based on this incident! 】
No. It's not that simple.
"Don't rush to say whether it's great or not... It may be true that I am the greatest, but there is obviously more information behind this incident..."
But the young man didn't pay attention to the Dragon King's words. His mind was replaying what he saw and heard before: "This is not right!"
Ian suddenly frowned, and said in a low voice, "This is not a coincidence!"
"Just a few minutes after the mechanical dragon explorer went out, it immediately encountered the disaster of light... No matter how you think about it, this is not normal!"
Lifting his head, Ian's eyes lit up with a cyan light like the sun. This light emitted countless rays, and one ray continued to enlarge, penetrating through the endless hazy fragments of illusion and the future, turning into an omen before his eyes.
The road that was about to stagnate seems to have gained momentum, and it starts to work again, gathering all the fragmented light and shadow, and turning it into a real picture.
Aurora Dragon King watched in astonishment as the omen of the future that was about to end moved again. He originally wanted to speak out to dissuade the other party from continuing to prophesy. Take care.
However, when the Dragon King saw Ian's eyes, he couldn't speak. That is definitely not a person who will be persuaded by others. He is more convinced than anyone else that he is right. As long as the direction is determined, he will move forward with one heart and one mind like the light.
So even the years and the future can run through.
Boom!
Infinite light filled the orbit around the edge of Terra's solar system, and the burning beam was like a materialized sharp sword, piercing the dark vacuum.
But it was precisely because of this that Ian saw the shape of the 'loophole' on the Prisoner Star Heavenly Prison!
The loophole presents an irregular diamond shape, and surging light gushes out of it, as if the water of the dam that has been accumulated for countless years bursts and turns into an endless torrent that submerges all living beings.
If it is said that light is the silently flowing water that fills the universe, then the supernova light of this gamma-ray burst is the flooding tide, a great flood that can submerge the world!
Ian stared at the light, and then opened his eyes slightly.
"This is not an attack, there is no artificial trace... This is just an ordinary cosmic ray burst, but the energy level is several times larger..."
He muttered to himself: "The mechanical dragon has actually passed through that diamond-shaped gap. In theory, its physical entity has already passed through the Star Prison—but the next moment, the disaster of light broke out...Why? If it is true It’s such a coincidence, I can’t believe it.”
"So, to put it another way, the fact that the mechanical dragon left the prisoner star prison itself led to the outbreak of the disaster of light. Although it sounds like a devastating blow will be carried out as soon as someone is found to leave the prisoner star prison, but if it is true There are ten thousand times more convenient ways to destroy the seeds of civilization than this, I tend to think this is a 'trap', and it should be a 'natural trap'!"
"It's a problem of time and space... Yes, the detector shows that after the mechanical dragon left the Prisoner Star Prison, it detected a time and space anomaly after a while..."
"Extreme Wind Dragon King!"
Suddenly raised his voice, Ian turned his head and looked at the Thunder Dragon with burning eyes: "Prisoner Star Prison... Or, what is the principle of the cradle!"
【I really don’t know the specific principles and how to build this... cradle. Even the ancestors can only lay it according to the design drawings issued by the creator, but I know what effect it achieves.】
After all, the Jifeng Dragon King is the king of real dragons, the most powerful group of real dragons. Once he is serious, he will quickly enter the state and provide information for Ian who seems to have discovered something: [The goal of the cradle system is to use ether to shape A veil that cuts off the time and space of the universe, enveloping all solar systems with intelligent life]
【Ether can manipulate the space-time structure, change the basic force value of the universe, and then hide all these galaxies with intelligent life and wrap them into a pocket universe】
【The wrapped galaxy will become a cradle. From the outside world, everything in this area is normal and nothing exists. Even the last demon can't find it. This is the best proven asylum plan】
Looking at the leaks gushing out from the Calamity of Light, the Aurora Dragon King was very worried: [But the cradle of Terra was destroyed because of the battle between the creator spaceship and the Last Demon]
【What state it is now, I don't know...】
"Really... well, enough, thank you." Ian fell silent after listening.
At this moment, all the information he had obtained from Sequoia Base flashed through his mind.
—The light of the stars all disappeared, and at the same time, disappeared in a uniform manner.
This is impossible. Because different stars are at different distances from Terra, even if they are destroyed at the same time, their light will be extinguished one after another in a few years, decades, hundreds of years or even longer.
What the uniform extinguishing represents, there is only one possibility... that is the Prisoner Star Heavenly Prison, a super-giant 'light-shielding shield' that evenly covers the entire star field.
Of course, because this shield is most likely to expand through several key reference points, the disappearance of stars is not regular, so it will be misleading.
But here comes the problem.
Those intercepted lights...where did they go?
Is it distorted along the space-time structure and transmitted to the rear, just like water deformed when passing a boulder, and then converged into water again behind the boulder...or, like a black hole, unilaterally devouring all the light, creating a Absolute darkness?
Ian stared at the beam of light from the supernova explosion in front of him, and he felt that he had gradually found the answer: "The light is absorbed by the cradle—if it is a complete cradle, all the light shining on the cradle will be absorbed, whether it is used or simply stored, No information will be passed back."
"However, Terra's cradle is broken."
"Light can pass through the damaged gap... But are the gaps and holes really empty? It's like an iron ball that can't be repaired after a gap is chiseled out by someone?"
"I don't think... that's the case. The cradle definitely has a self-healing system, like a piece of skin missing from a person. Although the skin won't grow back for a while, there will be blood scabs and tissue fluid covering the wound to prevent external damage. before the germs enter the human body."
"And this self-healing system must still be based on 'time-space distortion' or 'fundamental force rewriting'."
"Like...slowing down the speed of light."
Talking to himself in such a low voice, Ian's voice gradually increased, and he realized that he had found the right train of thought: "Yes! That's it!"
"Although in Terra, the starlight passing through this huge gap can still be seen, but how long ago was this starlight? Was it the light that was emitted hundreds of years ago or the light that was emitted thousands of years ago? Anything blocking the incoming light, or passing through the 'glass' or 'membrane'?!"
"Jifeng Dragon King, tell me, do the stars we see really exist?"
Suddenly being questioned by Ian, the Dragon King somewhat understood the boy's thoughts: [You mean, the damaged part of the cradle has actually been repaired a long time ago... The gap seems to be empty, but in fact time and space have been distorted, forming a A space-time membrane? 】
"Yes!"
Ian was sure, he looked at the gap in the distance again, and said in a deep voice: "And the effect of this space-time membrane is to slow down the speed of light as much as possible!"
"The Star God is a super civilization that can change the underlying rules of the universe, use ether to penetrate all time and space, and even break through the event horizon of a black hole—they can completely use ether to reduce the speed of light in a certain range of time and space, creating a "black field" Effect!"
"From the outside, the light is completely absorbed, which is no different from the fact that the speed of light has been reduced by hundreds of thousands of times, and it is almost stagnant in place-these lights cannot be reflected back after falling into the black area, but are like bugs in amber. , was frozen in place until the cradle system was completely repaired, and they were all absorbed!"
Raising his hand, Ian pointed at the surging stream of light, and took a deep breath: "The next thing is the most important thing."
"Extreme Wind Dragon King, tell me, what would happen if a star very close to Terra exploded in a supernova, and the terrifying light burst and gamma-ray burst hit Terra?"
Without waiting for the Dragon King of Extreme Wind to answer, Ian said to himself: "If the cradle is intact, then even a supernova explosion is meaningless, all light will be absorbed and deflected."
"But there is a gap in Terra's cradle. Countless lights and energies are slowed down by the 'space-time membrane' on the gap and stagnated on the surface of the membrane... With the power of the cradle, these lights can be stagnated for 10,000, 100,000 or even for hundreds of thousands of years, until the cradle was fully restored."
"But...we broke the balance from within."
At this point, Ian clenched his right fist, and he gritted his teeth: "The appearance of the mechanical dragon broke the balance of the space-time membrane—the light accumulated for an unknown number of years stacked together after the space-time membrane's ability to reduce the speed of light failed. , rushing towards the interior of the Terra star field like a burst embankment!"
"This has been stagnant for many years, and the light that finally poured out is the true body of the disaster of light!"
It sounds simple, but it is actually very common.
Think of Prisoner Star Hell and Terra as a metal house and human beings in the depths of the sea. Under the shelter of the metal house, human beings can live in the narrow deep seabed. Once they leave the house, they will be crushed by the water pressure and drown and suffocate. In short, it is certain death.
The good news is that this metal room is extremely strong, and it will never be damaged even by the turbulent ocean currents outside. The bad news is that this metal room has a gap. Although it has been filled with a layer of glass, the effect is almost the same, but the position of the glass is very fragile .
This layer of glass is good or bad. People in the house can observe the sea through the glass and imagine what the outside world is like. The bad news is that it is really very fragile.
People who are so fragile that they will be completely shattered just by touching them easily.
Afterwards, the endless sea water will pour down, submerge the house, and kill people completely.
Prisoner Star Prison is the iron house, and the low-speed ether film at the gap is the glass, and Ian is the one who touched the glass because of irrepressible curiosity, causing the seawater to pour back.
If he hadn't sent out the Mechanical Dragon, the Calamity of Light might not have erupted at all!
But here comes the problem.
"The Hall of All Souls also predicted the outbreak of the Calamity of Light. In other words, even if I didn't send the mechanical dragon there, there would be other reasons for the damage of the ether membrane. The reason is unknown, whether it is internal or external."
"Besides, the last echo on the way of the Spiritual Calamity is obviously flying towards the Prisoner Star Heavenly Prison...Why didn't He cause the Calamity of Light?"
Ian thought for a while, and then laughed: "I'm dying of laughter, so he didn't go out at all!"
Mechanical dragon is a material entity, and it uses the space bubble made by the etheric furnace core to move at a superluminal curvature, so it can break through the etheric membrane from the inside, causing the light disaster to erupt.
And the dark gold dragon has been actinized, it was essentially a ball of light at that time, and of course it was stopped in place after entering the etheric membrane that slows down the speed of light from the inside—so the dark gold dragon never left Prisoner Star Prison, he just entered into another prison.
It is precisely because of this that Ian, who is driving the void to breed evil kings on the road of spiritual disaster, said sadly that this is a road that does not work.
If you want to get out of the gap in Prisoner Star Prison, you must face the power of the "supernova explosion".
"Haha...that's really interesting."
Smiling and laughing, Ian's expression became calm again, expressionless: "Now, the cradle has become a real star prison."
With one heart and one mind, the echo of abandoning human beings and Terra and leaving this star field was finally imprisoned in the Terra star field.
Just like in this future, Ian who wanted to leave Terra wholeheartedly, regardless of the flames of war on the earth...eventually triggered the outbreak of the Calamity of Light.
【In this case, what should we do? 】
At this moment, the Jifeng Dragon King has fully understood the current situation of Terra and the cradle system, and he frowned and said: [Even if it is real, you will no longer go to the outside of the Prisoner Star Prison, but it is very likely that there will be other reasons Causes damage to the ether membrane at low light speed, resulting in a disaster of light...We have no other way except to hardtop]
【Or... try to fix the cradle system and speed up its self-maintenance】
There is no problem with the statement of the Extreme Wind Dragon King, not to mention the current Terra, even if Ian really reaches the sixth energy level in the future, it is impossible to stop the ray burst produced by the supernova explosion—even with God The planetary shield, there is a high probability that there is no way.
It is impossible to observe in the omen whether the energy level of this ray burst can evaporate the planet, or the level of cleaning the surface. If it is cleaning the surface, then the imperial capital may be able to protect it, and human beings should be able to survive it... As for the former, Ian thinks it's better for everyone to carry out a "happy twenty-year plan" as soon as possible, so that everyone can waste resources and enjoy it until they die, and everyone will become ashamed together.
Therefore, we can only pin our hopes on the 'cradle system' itself.
As long as the cradle system can be strengthened, the reshaping and strengthening of the etheric membrane can be accelerated, and the disaster of light cannot be broken out, then human beings still have a glimmer of life.
But in that case, the possibility of human beings going beyond the cradle will be completely blocked.
Ian closes his eyes.
Not to mention whether I can do it, whether it can affect the operation of the cradle system...
Even if it is really possible.
Ask yourself, would he do this?
Ian is clear. Even if he drags all human beings to die together, he will never give up that possibility.
This kind of thinking mode, which is so strong that it is almost a steel seal of thought, is exactly the "thinking model" that Ian built up from generation to generation before him.
He will never give up, never compromise, and will definitely fight until the last moment, and then send all his experience to Ian in other parallel time and space, and the failed self drags a world into destruction.
Human beings' reviling, human desire to linger on, human desire to give up efforts to seek ease, human desire to be nestled in the cradle until rotten, he doesn't care about all of them.
"It turns out that this is the source of the 'don't care' in my heart... because I am not afraid of death at all, and my demise will become the nutrient for the next me."
Slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flickering, but Ian laughed instead: "I will try my best not to go to that step. But if it really comes to a situation where a decision must be made... the sentient beings of Terra."
"I won't say I'm sorry."
Raising his head, Ian no longer stared at the gap in the Prisoner Star Prison, but turned around, looking in the direction of the star Terra, where Terra is located.
"Now I still have a choice—but the other me, you have already failed, human beings no longer have the right to choose, you only have five years left, what will you do to deal with this catastrophe? "
He whispered to himself, the anticipation and curiosity hidden in the boy's eyes, under the terrified gaze of the Jifeng Dragon King, was an emotion more terrifying than madness: "Even if all the lives in this universe don't believe in you, I don't believe you." will believe you."
"Because if it were me, there would be a solution."
The white-haired boy stared at the faintly flickering sun at the far end of time and space. Behind him, the brilliance of more than a thousand suns was roaring and rushing past.
Five light-years away, five years, this is the last chance for mankind.
Ian jumped up, and he followed the torrent of light that destroyed everything, heading towards the sun and Terra, and the Extreme Wind Dragon King suppressed the shocking emotions in his heart, and set off with him. On the back of the Dragon King, he walks with the light that destroys all things.
Time flows rapidly under the gaze of the Prophet.
Soon, five years passed in a blink of an eye.
Ian, who was waiting patiently, felt something in his heart. He raised his head and looked forward.
Terra is close at hand.
However, the strange thing is that there is no trace of any life on the planet Terra, nor any sign of biological activity.
The city has already been turned into ruins, and the country has no vitality anymore... Even the forests have completely disappeared, and the entire continent and ocean seem to have been thoroughly screened by some incredible monsters, devouring them all, not even leaving any insects behind.
This once-prosperous homeland of mankind has completely turned into a silent dead zone.
But Ian raised his eyebrows, showing a look of joy.
"It should be like this! The beast of a thousand stars, the fire of a thousand stars, I knew I could do it!"
Lifting his head, Ian looked at the sun in the distance, his gaze was filled with a kind of madness that made Jifeng Dragon King feel chills: "Next, it will be you!"
In the perspective of the Prophet beyond time and space, both he and the Dragon King saw it at this moment.
saw the destruction of the sun.
嗡—
Accompanied by the huge gravitational shock that distorts the entire star, huge coronas rush out one after another, licking the surrounding space-time of the universe, bursting out a super-giant stellar gas structure beyond human imagination—at this moment, the sun looks far away. It looks like a super giant octopus with countless tentacles, but each of these tentacles is enough to easily pinch the planet and play with it like a marble.
But soon, these tentacles and the ejected star matter all began to shrink.
Contraction towards the inner core.
The collapse begins.
Because of the sudden strong gravitational phenomenon, the outer layer of the star began to collapse towards the inner core. These majestic stellar materials were pulled and hit their own core. In the most terrifying fusion reaction, heavy elements heavier than iron It began to be born, and incredible energy spewed out, mixed with the reaction force produced by the impact of the outer layer of the star on the core, roaring in all directions!
This is a supernova explosion!
At the moment when Terra’s sun collapsed due to unknown reasons and started a supernova explosion, the energy it released was hundreds of times greater than the sum of the energy it released in the past, and the endless light and stellar matter turned into torrents, Rush toward the outside world at the speed of light!
And at this moment.
Accompanied by Ian's wild laughter and the roar of the Jifeng Dragon King, they saw the 'giant' hidden in the light!
That is a spaceship completely transformed into light, a behemoth that completely melts into light!
A giant dragon as big as the moon flapped its wings and flew in the explosion of a supernova, following the momentum of this endless torrent, galloping towards the outside world!
That's a dragon—the Dragon of Light!
It has already been actinized, accelerated to the speed of light within a period of time after the supernova explosion, and flew together with the gushing torrent of light and stellar matter, maintaining the relative speed—the dragon of light does not need to fight against the unstoppable explosion of the stars behind it, but It is to use this power to ride the wind and waves and maintain the almost eternal "photochemical" and "navigation at the speed of light"!
And the power of the supernova explosion caused by the collapse of the Terra star swallowed up the aftermath of the "supernova explosion" that leaked from the gap in Prisoner's Heavenly Prison in an instant!
Yes, perhaps, the supernova light leaking from the gap originated from a star larger than Terra’s sun, and its energy is even more majestic... But it has traveled through endless time and space, and has gone through a long time.
So, in front of a brand-new exploding supernova, its light is engulfed and melted in an instant.
And the dragon of light howled, and flew against the orbit of the swallowed light, towards the gap in the Prisoner Star Prison, which is also the final exit!
The light of Terra's sun will envelope it almost forever, 'today's sun' will never set, and 'yesterday's brilliance' will always be left behind.
This "generation spaceship" that is eternally maintained at the speed of light and uses the power of a supernova to fight against another supernova—this Ark of Light will be fully loaded with the souls of all human beings and all Terra creatures, heading towards "Tomorrow" go!
This ending is another path chosen by Ian in the endless future.
Its name is 'Lonely Dragon', it is also 'Ark', and it is also 'Tomorrow' - in order to go to tomorrow and welcome the future; in order to see the bright galaxy and bathe in the light of stars, so even the sun that gave birth to all living beings can be completely destroyed and transformed As the impetus to travel far away...
【—The Road to Extinct Star—】
At this moment, Ian could barely see the Dragon of Light...but he could barely see some afterimages.
Even if the core part is built by Ian, but just like the previous mechanical dragon is controlled by all the crew members, it is impossible for Ian the Star to maintain such a huge dragon for lightening by himself.
This also gave the current Ian room to continue to observe.
—Can fly out! Definitely fly out!
—No matter what the result is, no matter hope or despair, this time, I can definitely fly out!
Golden rainbow-colored brilliance shines, the dragon of light roars, it follows the light of the supernova, aims at the inner side of the prison star prison, and flies to the final gap—
It went through that hole.
It's like traveling through countless time and space.
Sparse, but still present, the sky full of stars is shining.
The Dragon of Light has come outside Prisoner Star Prison!
—Success! !
At this moment, Ian really wanted to yell out loud. He saw despair and found hope again. Even though he did do a lot of unimaginable and excessive things in the process, the final result was good!
But he didn't make a sound.
The white-haired boy fell into an ice cave.
Because, from the inner side of the Prisoner Star Prison, the light gushed out by the star Terra did not continue to spread farther away.
The light that led the dragon of light to rush out of Prison Star Heavenly Prison was suddenly blocked by something after running for a while.
It was... dark, surging, indescribable... I don't know how to describe it in any language...
End Yan.
The light stops here.
Because the prophet saw the end.
The dark end that squirmed and spread among the stars lingered in the surrounding time and space. He didn't find anything, and he didn't notice anything. Neither the stars nor the cradle seemed to exist, and he couldn't notice it at all.
It seems that in this world, only He himself is the only real existence, and all material things cannot be tilted even the slightest bit of his gaze.
He is indeed such an existence that is unreasonable, inconceivable, and difficult to describe and think about, so it is called the end—the end of the stars, the end of civilization, the end of reason, and the end of logic.
Finally blind and ignorant, perhaps after wandering for hundreds of thousands of years in human concepts, he will leave this too flat time and space and go to another place.
But, at this moment.
At the moment when the Dragon of Light left the cradle following the light of the supernova.
The dark end turns—if the action of wriggling, twisting, and almost flowing and flipping in the space-time of the universe is called 'rotation'.
He turned.
Then, 'Look' to the 'Dragon of Light'.
Ian can't see anything.
Haha, after laying the groundwork for so long, it can be regarded as written! Ask for a monthly pass!
