A lot of materials, mixed with high-load energy, condensed under the collisions at a very high speed and grew larger and larger, forming their own gravitational field and magnetic field. Eventually, all kinds of planets were born. Such a phenomenon was very common in the early years of the Big Bang. Most of the high-density, massive celestial bodies such as stars and planets in the universe were formed in such a way.
However, it had been at least hundreds of billions of years since the birth of the Pangu universe. The best period for the creation of stars and planets had long passed and entered a relatively stable mature period.
In the universe at such a stage, the celestial bodies that had the conditions to be born had mostly been born. Generally speaking, few massive celestial bodies above the level of planets were born.
The supernova explosions of two stars at the same time, spurting out tremendous materials and energy, could almost be called a miracle. It also created the rarely-seen conditions for the birth of new celestial bodies.
But conditions were just conditions. Based on the environment and the astronomical parameters of the Gemini nebula, the possibility of a new star or planet being born was still very low.
Because the tides of materials and energy caused by the supernova explosions spread out in all directions, the materials and energy that really collided only occupied a small part of the mass of the two nebulas.
The materials and energy had not reached the tipping point for the birth of a new celestial body. Not far away, with the interference and tearing of the two neutron stars, the new celestial body was destined to die in the womb. After a few futile struggles, the clusters of materials that were barely condensed completely fell apart, and the Gemini nebula entered the real stable period.
However, compared to the boundless universe, the gargantuan stars, the neutron stars, the high-density nebulas, and the radiation swirls, human beings and their starships were indeed more insignificant than dust. Even though the new celestial body was not yet formed and was probably going to die in the womb, it could still cause tremendous interference and damage to the space voyages of human beings. In the worst case, it could even completely destroy the fleets of human beings.
Therefore, the astronomical environment deep inside the Gemini nebula was unprecedentedly complicated. It was not suitable for an enormous space fleet to be deployed in full strength. Therefore, a few elites could only be sent to break through the storms and turbulences with their personal abilities that were above that of all human beings. Only then could they pick the glittering and dangerous crown that had been left billions of years ago.
It was also the biggest reason why Li Linghai did not dare to hide it from the Federation and the Holy League and lead the army of the Imperium to "eat the food" alone.
If the army of the Imperium happened to be caught in the collision of two cosmic storms deep inside the Gemini Nebula and was annihilated, the Imperium and the true path of immortality would be doomed.
On the other hand, if the capture and exploration squads were lucky enough to break through the Gemini Nebula and enter the Empyrean Transcendence Sector, they would be slightly relieved.
Li Linghai told the experts present that the Empyrean Transcendence Sector had a very stable space structure. It was probably an artificial shelter built by the Pangu people or the creators of the black wall. As long as they entered it, no matter how powerful the high-energy particles and rays outside were, they would not be hurt at all.
When they explored the Empyrean Transcendence Sector last time, Li Linghai had left a lot of exploration tools, weapons, ammunition, and food supplies, including a whole set of alarms and automatic attack barriers. Unless the dead were brought back to life, there should not be too many dangers in the place.
Of course, that was only the outermost layer of the Empyrean Transcendence Sector.
The treasures at the outermost layer had been looted by Li Linghai a long time ago. It was not worth exploring at all. Their goal this time was to follow the footsteps of the Pangu people and explore what the creators of the black wall left behind.
In order to enter the second level, theoretically speaking, Li Linghai and Li Yao had to share half of the keys.
However, such a base or shelter of paramount importance certainly could not be accessed by such a shabby way of keys. At the very least, the highest permissions to control the entire base should be in the hands of the 'other half of Fuxi'. Since Lu Qingchen had the data pieces of the 'other half of Fuxi', was it possible that he could find another way to sneak in without the key?
It must be noted that Lu Qingchen did not have a real body at all. He could've snuck in with the waves. As long as he found an invisible gap, he could've snuck in like smoke and opened the gate from the inside, allowing his Colossi and puppet warriors to march in.
Seizing every second to finalize the preliminary details, in the next seven days, the Federation, the Imperium, and the Holy League were all activated like machines that had been maximized. The toughest experts, the most cutting-edge starships, the Colossi, and the Crystal Suit, as well as the most abundant marrow crystals and strengthening drugs, were all shipped to the forward bases established in the Seven Seas Space Zone.
It was almost an operation that did not require any discussion or 'unity of thought'.
The legacies and mysteries left by the 'maker of the black wall', which was one level higher than the Pangu civilization, could possibly enlighten the entire Pangu universe and upgrade the 'three thousand Sectors' into 'thirty thousand Sectors' or even 'three million Sectors'. The value of the operation was beyond everyone's imagination.
Before, a lot of Cultivators of the older generation were hesitant and worried that they would be exposed if they risked getting in touch with the Pangu civilization, the maker of the black wall, or even the Flood Legion. Therefore, should they wait for hundreds of years before making any decision?
But right now, even such concerns had been dispelled, because Lu Qingchen had already gone!
Even if other people were unwilling to take the risk, Lu Qingchen would certainly take the risk.
Besides, even if Lu Qingchen did not take the risk, the Immortal Cultivators would certainly take the risk. So, they might as well risk their lives and take the risk.
Just like that, after only seven days, the three major forces of the Pangu universe completed an unbelievable assembly at the highest efficiency. Almost all the experts above the high level of the Yuanying Stage were gathered in the Seven Seas Space Zone. The battle-type Cultivators, as the mainstays, were all present.
All the starships, the Colossi, the Crystal Suit, and the ancillary magical equipment for exploration had finished the final maintenance. The last cannonball and the last crystal were in place, too.
Right now, there was only one last thing left.
…
At the periphery of the Seven Seas Space Zone, in the vacuum far away from the illumination of the star, the No. 7 planet, which was the largest planet in the Seven Seas Space Zone, was in the circular orbit made of broken stones and dust.
The broken stones roared and formed a torrent of destruction at an extremely high speed, surging endlessly around the enormous brown planet.
When the light of the star was completely eclipsed by the No. 7 planet, the temperature would plummet to minus a hundred degrees, and all the broken stones would be turned into solid ice crystals. When the intense radiation of the star appeared, the temperature would soar again, making the real ice crystals burn furiously.
The abrupt change in temperature, the destructive torrent of stones, and the enormous gravitational field of the No. 7 planet itself turned the seemingly glamorous, glittering ring into a forbidden zone for life. Even the starships had to be extremely vigilant when they made 'gravity slingshots' with the enormous gravitational field of the planet to accelerate themselves, in case they were swallowed by the ring and the planet.
However, on this day, an unbelievable scene took place in the furiously burning ring.
It was human beings. Almost a hundred human beings appeared in the ring, rushing like bullets and crashing and exploding like cannonballs.
Those human beings …
All of them were muscular and had powerful presences. Colorful and threatening spirit flames surged around them. In fact, there were even electric arcs that looked like dragons and thunderbolts surrounding them. They kept changing into all sorts of forms and swept up the dust and stones around them. They were absorbed into the surging magnetic fields of their bodies, and as they continued accelerating, they turned into fireballs and balls of lightning!
The enormous planet, the splendid ring, and the radiation of the star that looked like an ocean of fire — in such a splendid background, those human beings were almost like the legendary deities and devils.
On a closer look, the equipment of those human beings was different and could vaguely be divided into three levels.
About half of the people whose flames of spiritual energy were dimmer were wearing delicate and glamorous Crystal Suit. They were armed to the teeth with marvelous weapons made of super alloys and embedded with marrow crystals.
Another third of them were not wearing Crystal Suit. They were only wearing a thin armor and a mustard-seed combat suit that was equipped with a complete sealed life-support system.
Furthermore, a few of them did not even put on their armor or the sealed life-support system on their mustard-seed combat suit. In other words, they did not even carry compressed oxygen with them. They simply appeared in the vacuum where the star was directly illuminated, the temperature suddenly changed, and the stones were flying everywhere!
Were they human beings or monsters? Or rather, were they the brand-new direction of human evolution billions of years later?
No. Perhaps it would not take billions of years. Under the threat of survival, the speed of evolution had always been faster than anyone could imagine.
The hundred 'human-shaped monsters' were naturally the strongest experts who represented the best combat ability of the Federation, the Imperium, and the Holy League.
It was the last run-in training before the joint capture and exploration squads of the three parties set off.
When the three parties joined hands, their relationship was more complicated than ever. After they entered the depths of the mysterious ancient tomb, nobody could predict the changes of the situation. Communication, coordination, and orders were all highly problematic.
It was needless to say that, in front of the primordial treasures that boasted infinite power, the belief of every expert of every force could be metamorphosed, sublimated, or corrupted instantly, turning them into a different person instantly.
In only one second, a Cultivator could turn into an Immortal Cultivator, and an Immortal Cultivator could turn into an insane beast. Even the information lives such as Xiaoming and Wenwen could not guarantee that their data would not leak out and that their underlying logic would not collapse.
