If the Gemini nebula, where the entrance of the ancient mausoleum was located, was an overwhelming, splendid butterfly, then with the connection between the capital planet and the Seven Seas Space Zone as the frame of reference, the left wing of the Gemini butterfly was called 'Gemini One', and the right wing was called 'Gemini Two'.
In the Gemini One galaxy, the largest and most massive planet was the fifth planet. Its diameter was 1,724 times that of the capital planet, and its mass was 445 times that of the capital planet. It was a behemoth among the planets and close to the limits of the stable structure of a planet. It was an out-and-out 'giant planet'.
Because the Gemini nebula was very far away from the homeland of the Imperium, even though the astronomers in the past had observed the spectacular view of the supernova outburst, they did not study the extremely chaotic space zone too much or name all the planets covered by the Gemini nebula. Therefore, in the original astronomical database of the Imperium, the giant planet was simply called 'Gemini Left Five', which meant that it was the fifth planet of the Gemini One galaxy.
But right now, the cosmologists were paying much more attention to the giant planet because the entrance of the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum was probably in the orbit of the giant planet. In other words, the entrance of the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum had been captured by the gravity of the giant planet, as if it had become a 'satellite' of the planet.
Therefore, the cosmologists had named it 'ancient giant planet' for now.
The ancient giant planet was a very typical giant planet.
The giant planet in the family of planets was a planet of gas and liquid, mainly made of hydrogen and helium, which accounted for more than 50% of its total mass. The cosmologists suspected that there should be a solid core made of various heavy elements inside the planet. However, there was too little time for detailed exploration. They could only infer it based on the data of other giant planets in the past.
According to the deduction of general giant planets, the outer layer of such planets was often made of carbon, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, neon, and frozen ammonia. If abundant crystals were stored inside, under the stimulation of the star and the enormous internal stress, high-intensity radiation and high-energy particles would be released incessantly. Basically, such giant planets were the reserves of stars, or 'quasi stars' that had not reached the tipping point and could not become stars. The energy that a giant planet released to the outside world incessantly could even exceed the energy that it absorbed from the star.
The energy, together with the extremely high rotation speed, turned the outer layer of the giant planet into an ocean of chaotic and violent energy, as if the entire planet was enshrouded in a sea of lightning and thunder. Even the dense, hard meteoroids would be completely torn apart by the violent, sharp teeth of the giant planet if they recklessly intruded into its sphere of influence.
The giant planet in the stable period of the galaxy was already so terrifying.
The supernova explosion of the Gemini Nebula had completely shattered the stable state of the two galaxies. When the two stars exploded, they ejected overloaded energy and mass. While greatly impacting the stable state of the ancient giant planet, they also completely broke the shackles of the stars on it, making it like a group of wild horses out of control or an ambitious wild grass without a leader.
The reason was very simple.
It was precisely because of the huge gravitational field formed by the mass that was hundreds of times more than the ancient giant planet could capture the rebellious giant planet and firmly bind it in the orbit of the revolution.
But now, after losing a certain amount of mass and energy in the supernova explosion, the newly formed neutron star was no longer able to drag the ancient giant planet.
During the supernova explosion, the impact of a tremendous amount of energy and mass even broke through the gaseous outer layer and the liquid middle layer of the ancient giant planet. It was very likely to invade the solid core and had an immeasurable and unbelievable reaction with the heavy elements at the core, activating the crazy evolution.
On one hand, the ancient giant planet had lost the shackles of the stars, and its orbit began to become twisted and irregular. Perhaps, after a short moment on the scale of the universe, it would get rid of the seal of the Gemini Nebula and fly to the distant edge of the universe, becoming a wandering planet.
On the other hand, all the materials that made up the ancient giant planet were being squeezed and heated up under the action of gravity, trying to raise the core temperature to more than ten million degrees to trigger a fusion reaction and replace the two aging neutron stars as a new star!
The ancient giant planet was originally the most massive celestial body in the two galaxies apart from the stars.
It was like the strongest child in the family, always eager to replace its father.
Once it successfully awakened the core of the star and ignited the raging flames of more than ten million degrees, it was possible that it would swallow the entire Gemini Nebula and form a new, stable stellar system.
But it was a pity that its attempt was bound to fail after all because its mass was still too small to reach the critical mass for the birth of a star.
Another important reason was that the supernova explosion of the two stars, which ejected tremendous materials and energy, was also carrying out another attempt at the birth of a star at the intersection, which took away 50% of the hope of the ancient giant planet. The result could only be a lose-lose. Neither of the two celestial bodies could turn into a star and would eventually fall into silence.
However, before they fell into silence, their struggles and efforts would eventually release the most violent radiations, waves, high-energy particles, and intense magnetic fields.
For the stars and the giant planets, what was merely a blink or a sneeze was nothing short of a catastrophe for human beings and starships. Even for a Divinity Branching Stage expert such as Li Yao, if he was caught in the most intense interference of the celestial body's magnetic field, it remained to be seen whether or not his vitality field could still be intact.
Other than that, like most of the giant planets, the ancient giant planet also boasted almost a hundred satellites.
As the entire galaxy and their main planet changed, the stable orbits of those satellites were on the brink of destruction, too.
Some of the satellites were attracted by the gravity of the ancient giant planet and dived into the arms of the main planet, raising the violent torrents of energy and mass hundreds of thousands of meters high, like volcanic eruptions that had been magnified ten thousand times.
Some of the satellites had overlapping orbits, resulting in violent collisions and shattering into pieces, resulting in irregular and unpredictable stone belts. Mixed with the destructive aura, they swallowed everything in their way.
Also, many of the satellites, which contained a lot of highly radioactive elements in the first place, formed a raging magnetic field that could even make the starships that entered them lose all their functions and 'come to a halt'.
That would be the worst case scenario.
It must be noted that the density and mass of the ancient giant planet in the highly unstable state were different from each other. Their gravitational forces were different, too. They were essentially gravity traps, or 'chaos sources'.
When the starships of the adventure teams boasted 100% power, they could naturally be cautious and keep a safe distance from the ancient giant planet. However, should the power units of the starships be blown up by meteoroids, or the navigation system be disrupted by magnetic storms, and the starships fall into the orbit of the ancient giant planet, they would be faced with the overwhelming, incessant lightning.
It was the worst situation that a starship could run into.
Even the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators in the Colossus might not be able to escape from the scourge of lightning, thunder, and magnetic storms when the gravity was hundreds of times the standard.
If they were caught by the gravity and fell into the depths of the ancient giant planet, they would only be squeezed into a solid body made of flesh and metal.
That was the dreadfulness of the ancient giant planet that had been observed so far.
If they really went deep into it, they would certainly run into all kinds of unexpected dangers that were ten times more dangerous than the known problems.
But it could not be helped. The entrance to the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum was right on the orbit of the ancient giant planet. Only a behemoth such as the ancient giant planet could attract it and make it move in a slightly regular way.
It was now or never. If the entrance to the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum got rid of the gravity circle of the ancient giant planet and moved irregularly in the middle of the boundless Gemini nebula, nobody would be able to find it at all.
"Lu Qingchen is truly a lunatic!"
Looking at the latest astronomical parameters and environmental monitoring data, Li Yao frowned hard. "We have grasped so many terrifying parameters and made the most thorough preparations, but we still do not have the courage to barge into such a place recklessly. Yet, Lu Qingchen is bold enough to barge into such a 'forbidden zone of life' with only five Supreme Fortresses? He has made up his mind. If he fails, he will die trying!
"Speaking of which, aren't we too unlucky? The universe is such a vast place, but the entrance to the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum just happened to be in such a chaotic, violent, and brutal place?"
Li Linghai, however, told Li Yao that it was not a matter of luck. He had a theory.
The Supreme Emperor's mausoleum was not in a stable three-dimensional space. Of course, it was not entirely in the legendary four-dimensional space, either. It was more or less safe to say that it was in a weird space fragment in the folds of the three-dimensional universe.
If the three-dimensional universe was in a stable state without any gaps, the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum would not have surfaced at all.
Only in the extremely harsh environments such as the Gemini nebula and the ancient giant planet, where all the materials and energy in the space were undergoing the most violent changes, could the stable structure of the three-dimensional space be torn apart by the high-speed collisions of planets and magnetic fields, and the entrance to the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum was attracted and 'surfaced' from such places.
In the past, the entrance to the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum had always appeared in such an extremely chaotic astronomical environment. Even Li Linghai's first visit to the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum was because of a soul-stirring cosmic storm that she accidentally wandered into it. She had also encountered all kinds of dangers during the few subsequent explorations of the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum, except that the astronomical environment this time was particularly harsh. However, it also suggested that the diameter of the space gap was long enough and could be maintained long enough for a large batch of experts and hundreds of starships to squeeze in and conduct the development of the largest scale!
