The Andromeda galaxy was the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way, with a diameter of about 220,000 light-years, almost twice the size of the Milky Way.
Therefore, the Andromeda galaxy was also the largest galaxy in the local galaxy group.
When it came to the local galaxy group, one had to mention the classification of cosmic celestial bodies. From low to high, they were divided into planetary systems, stellar systems, large galaxies, and galaxy groups.
Galaxy groups, as the name suggested, were groups composed of several large galaxies, just like QQ groups and WeChat groups.
It was just that the members of galaxy groups were not QQ group members, but large galaxies like the Milky Way.
The local galaxy group referred to the galaxy group where Earth, the solar system, and the Milky Way were located, which was similar to the meaning of country, province, and school.
The word "country" could also be understood as "I," which meant our country, our province, our school, and our galaxy group.
There were many members of the local galaxy group, such as the Andromeda galaxy, the Milky Way, the Triangulum galaxy, the Large and Small Magellanic Galaxies, the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, the Draco Dwarf Galaxy, and the Leo Galaxy. There were about 50 large and small galaxies.
Among them, the Andromeda galaxy was the leader of the local galaxy group, with a vast territory of 220,000 light-years, while the Milky Way ranked second with a territory of 100,000 light-years.
The ruler of the Andromeda galaxy originally belonged to the Caius Titans. Unfortunately, the Andromeda galaxy experienced a change of dynasty 5,000 years ago.
A new race suddenly emerged, wiped out the Caius Titans, and became the new master of the Andromeda galaxy.
This race was the Lernaean Hydra.
"The Lernaean Hydra is a very magical race," Leoux continued. "They have not developed technology and belong to the purest self-cultivation civilization. Their strength lies in their terrifying self-cultivation speed and amazing fertility."
"What do you mean?"
Ling Jiu was puzzled.
"The Lernaean Hydra are not powerful when they are born. They are basically the same as you Earthlings, an ordinary First-Order planetary lifeform. But... "
"80% of the Lernaean Hydra can become a stellar lifeform within a hundred years, 20% can become a galactic lifeform within a thousand years, and 3% can become a super-clustered lifeform within 10,000 years.
"This is an extremely terrifying number!"
"This means that 80% of the Lernaean Hydras will become stellar lifeforms, 20% will become galactic lifeforms, and 3% will become super-clustered lifeforms."
"You might not think that it is very exaggerated just by listening to it. However, if you replace the Lernaean Hydra Race with Earthlings and think about it carefully, you will realize that this number is really terrifying!"
If it was an Earthling?
Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow.
Eighty percent of Earthlings could evolve into stellar life forms.
Twenty percent of Earthlings could become galactic life forms.
Three percent of Earthlings could become super-clustered lifeforms.
At the thought of this, Ling Jiu could not help but gasp. With such a comparison, he deeply felt the terror of the Lernaean Hydras.
There were currently 4 billion people on Earth. 80%, 20%, and 3% were 3.2 billion, 800 million, and 120 million respectively.
3.2 billion stellar beings?
800 million galactic lifeforms?
120 million super-clustered lifeforms?
What a frightening number it was!
"The most shocking thing is the terrifying fertility of the Lernaean Hydra Clan!"
Leoux continued, "The fertility of the Lernaean Hydras is no less than that of the pythons on Earth. It is even more exaggerated than that of humans."
"It's not inferior to a python!"
Ling Jiu was shocked again. How terrifying was the fertility of a python?
Although pythons only laid eggs once a year, they could lay eight to thirty eggs at a time, and some could even lay hundreds of eggs at a time.
It was not inferior to a python. Did it not mean that an adult Lernaean Hydra could give birth to dozens or even hundreds of offspring every year?
This was too exaggerated!
"The most abnormal thing is that the Lernaean Hydras are hermaphrodites.
In other words?
All adult Lernaean Hydras can give birth to offspring! "
Leoux said again.
"..."
Ling Jiu did not know what to say.
A race that clearly had a terrifying cultivation speed, yet they had an incomparably abnormal reproductive ability?
Now, they were hermaphrodites!
Why were so many advantages concentrated on a single race? Even the son of the universe could not compare.
"I suddenly understand now.
How did the Caius Titans get overthrown and end up with such an abnormal race?
Who could stop them? "Ling Jiu smiled bitterly.
"The Lernaean Hydras are indeed abnormal!"
Leoux smiled and then pulled up a picture of the Lernaean Hydra.
It turned out to be a giant snake with dozens of heads.
This giant snake was more than ten thousand meters long.
Its body was thicker than the Empire State Building, and its whole body was covered with dark scales.
These were nothing. The most outrageous thing was its head. It actually had dozens of heads?
A careful count.
There were a total of 33 heads.
"So many heads?"
Ling Jiu was shocked.
"The most distinctive feature of the Lernaean Hydra is its head."
Leoux laughed. "A newborn Lernaean Hydra only has one head. After that, it will grow another head every time its strength increases."
"That is to say..."
"The Lernaean Hydra has nine heads at the Planetary Level."
"The Lernaean Hydra has 18 heads at the Stellar Level."
"The Galactic Level?
The Lernaean Hydra has 27 heads. "
"The Lernaean Hydra has 36 heads at the Super-Clustered Level 9."
"The number of heads?
That is the most obvious indicator of the strength of the Lernaean Hydra. "
"This Lernaean Hydra has 33 heads, obviously a Super-Clustered Level 6."
"There is such a life form!"
Ling Jiu shook his head. "The universe is amazing!"
"Haha!
The universe is indeed amazing, but a race like the Lernaean Hydra that transcends the laws of the universe is rare. "
Leoux said meaningfully, "I have a guess.
The Lernaean Hydra is not a race that evolved naturally.
It is... artificial life. "
"Artificial life?"
Ling Jiu was shocked.
"Technology has developed to a certain stage?
In fact, it is the same as the gods imagined by primitive people. They can summon the wind and rain, turn stone into gold, and create things out of nothing. They are omnipotent. "
Leoux smiled. "And when biotechnology has reached a certain level, creating life is also a very simple thing."
"Let's not talk about others, just me."
"As long as I have a drop of your blood, a strand of hair, or a piece of skin, I can analyze your DNA sequence and recreate you."
Ling Jiu nodded. He knew that Leoux had this ability.
"Creating life may be difficult for a lower civilization, but it is really simple for us, the Emissian Civilization."
Leoux smiled. "As long as you figure out the genetic sequence of a race, you can create a race. This is called replication, the simplest way to create life."
"A slightly more advanced way to create life is like a programmer writing a program, writing a new program code, and then modeling it to create a brand new race."
"This is not difficult," Leoux said.
"For example, there is a divine beast in your Huaxia mythology — the dragon."
"The dragon is a totem life in the imagination, a combination of the characteristics of nine animals, but I can create a creature like the dragon."
"There are many lifeforms and races in the universe, but they are all man-made!"
"Many scientists of the Emissian Civilization have at least thousands of habitable planets as experimental bases, and the life forms on these planets are the experimental subjects."
"I see."
Ling Jiu nodded.
"Although there are countless artificial life forms, artificial life forms have a distinctive characteristic, which is that they are too regular, and the traces of artificial manipulation are too obvious."
Leoux smiled. "So, I conclude that this Lernaean Hydra must be an artificial life, and there must be other bosses behind this race."
