In the vast universe, many scientists speculated that Earth might be the only source of life.
In the past few decades, humans had carried out countless speculations and launched many space probes in search of extraterrestrial life. However, the deep starry sky and the unfathomable universe were like a desolate graveyard. It was a place of eternal coldness and darkness. No signs of life could be detected.
The universe was just too vast. There was no end to it. With the current level of technology, even if the space probes launched by humans could break free from the gravitational pull of the galaxy and travel for millions or even tens of millions of years, it would still be difficult for them to reach the other side of the starry sky.
Perhaps, the history of the exploration of the starry sky could be rewritten today. Some humans had come to the other side of the starry sky, crossing dozens or hundreds of light years and experiencing the extreme journey of human beings.
However, none of this could be known by the humans on Earth. No one would believe it, and no one would cheer or celebrate.
The nine huge dragon corpses pulled the bronze coffin to the other side of the starry sky, crossing into the star field where the Big Dipper was located.
It was also at this time that Ye Fan woke up. His palm left the green bronze coffin. Hundreds of ancient characters were engraved in his heart. They were difficult to understand and profound, as if they could never be erased. Only at this time did the mysterious divine sound disappear completely.
The Great Dao was simple. Words were precious like gold. Everything came to an end. It was as if the prosperity had fallen and everything returned to its original state.
Ye Fan was lost in thought. He muttered to himself, "The way of the heavens takes away the surpluses and makes up for the deficiencies …"
"Ye Fan, are you alright?" Pang Bo asked with concern.
"I'm fine."
During this process, the bronze coffin was shaking violently. Everyone felt dizzy. They knew that the nine dragons pulling the coffin were about to reach the end.
At this moment, the desolate bronze carvings on the coffin wall burst out with a divine radiance, forming a hazy light screen. It offset the unimaginable impact, and the coffin finally stabilized.
With a final boom, the lid of the bronze coffin deviated from its position and slid to the side. The coffin fell to the ground.
"Light!"
"I can see the light!"
"It's the familiar world of light!"
Many people in the bronze coffins couldn't help but scream. The dim and blood-red desolation of the Ancient Mars was no longer in front of them. Fresh air blew into his face, and it even carried the smell of the earth and the fragrance of flowers and grass. The smell of nature filled the surroundings, and outside was a bright world full of vitality.
Everyone stood up and quickly rushed out of the coffin. What they saw was a magnificent and beautiful scene.
At this moment, they were standing on top of a mountain that was neither too tall nor too short, and they could overlook the scenery in front of them.
In the distance, there was an undulating chain of beautiful mountain peaks and verdant trees. Near the top of the mountain were grotesquely shaped rocks and vigorous ancient trees. There were also old vines as thick as water buckets coiling around like dragons. There were also green grass and fragrant wildflowers, full of vitality and vitality.
Compared to the darkness and silence of Mars, this place was undoubtedly a peaceful paradise.
"This is great! We've finally escaped from the darkness and desolation and come to such a beautiful divine land."
"Finally, I don't have to be scared anymore!"
Many people were cheering, and some were even crying tears of joy. After experiencing a series of deaths and tribulations, they had finally come to a lively and natural world.
"Kissing the sun and telling myself to live well …" Even the astute and enchanting Lin Jia was moved to this extent.
Pang Bo stood on the mountain peak and shouted into the distance, "I finally see the sun again. Although it's not the same as before, I still want to loudly say that I've obtained a new life!"
"Clang!"
Suddenly, the bronze coffin behind them let out a metallic sound, and everyone's nerves were immediately affected. They all turned to look.
More than half of the nine huge dragon corpses were hanging at the bottom of the cliff, and the bronze coffin was not far from the cliff. At this moment, the nine dragon corpses were like a great wall of steel, slowly sliding down the cliff, and the bronze coffin was also slowly sliding forward.
"Rumble!"
The nine huge dragon corpses and the ancient bronze coffin made rumbling sounds as they slid down the mountain peak, and finally increased their speed as they fell down the cliff!
Everyone was so shocked that they broke out in a cold sweat. One side of the mountain peak was actually a cliff. If they didn't quickly rush out when the coffin lid opened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After the nine huge dragon corpses and the ancient bronze coffin fell down the cliff, there was no sound of falling for a long time. This caused everyone to look at each other in dismay, and they were extremely shocked.
At this moment, without the huge bronze coffin blocking their line of sight, they could clearly see the scene on this side of the cliff.
"Could it be that we're standing on the mouth of a super huge volcano?" Many people revealed shocked expressions.
This was because the so-called cliff was actually a bottomless pit.
"It's not the mouth of a volcano. It's impossible for there to be such a thick volcano."
If one looked carefully, they would notice that there were a total of nine huge mountains that were connected to each other, forming an incomparably huge and deep valley. According to common sense, this should be an open valley that one could see to the end with a single glance, because the nine mountains weren't towering into the clouds.
However, when one looked down, it was pitch-black, and there was no end at all. It was as if they had directly passed through the Yellow Springs Road of hell, and it was unfathomable.
The abyss formed by the nine mountains seemed to be endless. After the nine huge dragon corpses and the ancient bronze coffin fell down, no echo was heard, as if they would never reach the end.
"Just how deep is it? It's really hard to imagine!"
"What is this place? How can there be such a huge abyss …"
Everyone was bewildered, and they faintly felt that this world wasn't as peaceful and tranquil as it seemed on the surface.
After Ye Fan finished observing the scenery around him, he said, "Have you guys noticed? There's no Five-Colored Altar here. It's like we fell directly from the sky, and we didn't appear from the Starry Gate."
Hearing him say this, everyone was shocked, and only now did they notice that there really was no Five-Colored Altar. But the vast mountain peak didn't collapse because of the bronze coffin, and there wasn't even a huge pit. There were only a few large cracks.
If they really fell from the sky and smashed here, the impact would be unimaginable, but the mountain didn't have any traces of being heavily damaged. Something was unusual.
"If there's no Five-Colored Altar, why did we appear here? Could it be that the legendary universe broke down, and we're stranded here?" This joke wasn't pleasant at all, and no one revealed a smile. They all looked around, and then they started to ponder.
"There's half a stone tablet over there …" At this time, Zhang Ziling suddenly shouted.
There was a pile of rocks on the mountain peak, and there were also a few vigorous ancient trees, accompanied by a few old vines as thick as a water bucket. Between the vines, there was a broken stone tablet lying there, and the traces of artificial polishing were very obvious.
Everyone quickly walked over, pulled away the withered vines, and brushed away the withered leaves on the broken tablet. Immediately, they felt an overflowing ancient aura. There were three ancient characters carved on it, and the strokes were strong and condensed. They were bold and vigorous like dragons, and they flowed with the aura of time. It was unknown how many years they had existed for.
"What's written?" Many people didn't recognize it.
Ye Fan tried to identify it for a long time, but he was still a bit uncertain. He said, "It seems to be the three words' Forbidden Ancient Desolate '."
"Forbidden Ancient Desolate? What does it mean? It's completely incoherent." No one could figure out the meaning.
"This is a broken stone tablet, and there should be words below it. However, after the tablet was broken, there's no way to restore it." Pang Bo pulled away the vines and pulled out the weeds. He found a lot of crushed stones there, as if they had been smashed by lightning.
"The three ancient characters should be the name of this abyss or the mountain." Zhou Yi revealed a thoughtful expression, and said, "But there aren't many words and phrases that are connected to 'forbidden'. The most likely one is the word 'earth' that follows after it."
"Wouldn't it be 'Forbidden Ancient Desolate' if it's connected like this?" A student linked the four words together, and his expression changed instantly after reading it. The others also frowned.
It was hard for people to associate this name with a good thing, and many people were faintly worried.
"The area around this abyss is most likely not a pure land or a holy land …" someone said.
Not only was it not a pure land or a holy land, if it was really like what was written on the tablet, it was probably not a good place.
"Did you guys notice? There doesn't seem to be any birds or beasts nearby. It's too quiet!" Wang Ziwen was more attentive, and he felt that something was wrong.
"Indeed!" Everyone nodded in unison.
There were flowers, grass, vines, and trees here. On the surface, it looked full of vitality, but upon closer inspection, it was very strange. There were actually no animals in the surroundings. In such a huge mountain, there were no birds or beasts, and no traces of ants or insects. It was so quiet that it was almost deathly still!
There were no cicadas on the ancient trees, no grasshoppers on the grass, and no birds flying in the sky. There was only silence.
Pang Bo was very optimistic, and said, "No matter what, there is lush vegetation here. This kind of environment is enough for us to survive. Besides, there is a tablet here, so there must be humans on this planet. I don't believe that such a beautiful world would be a desolate land of death. "
"Who said there are no animals? Who said there are no birds in the sky? Look …" At this moment, Ye Fan had a new discovery, and he pointed to the distant horizon.
In the distant sky, there seemed to be a male eagle circling. It was very special, because its whole body was actually golden. Even though it was very far away, the magnificence could still be felt. It was as if it was cast in gold, and its whole body was shining with golden light.
At this moment, the golden eagle flew toward this area for some distance, and it became clearer and clearer. Then, it suddenly swooped toward a mountainous area. After a while, it soared into the sky again, and there was an extra prey in its claws. It flew toward a distant cliff.
"I … I'm not seeing things, am I?!" After seeing this scene, the usually carefree Pang Bo stuttered on the spot.
The others were also almost petrified, and they were like clay sculptures in a daze. They simply couldn't believe their eyes.
"Why do I feel … that under the claws of that golden eagle … it seems to be grabbing a giant elephant?" Li Zhangqing also stuttered, and he felt his mouth was dry.
"It's not just seems, it's actually it!" Wang Ziwen continued his words, and said, "It can grab a giant elephant, it's really inconceivable! One can imagine how huge that golden eagle is … "At this point, he couldn't help but be speechless.
It was very obvious that everyone's judgment just now was wrong. Because the distance was too far, they misjudged its size. That should be a super huge strange bird of prey.
Ye Fan gazed at the distant sky, and said, "There can't be such a huge eagle. Its whole body is golden, and it is shining with a golden radiance. Its body is incomparably huge, and it is extremely similar to the legendary Golden-winged Peng!"
Hearing these words, everyone present was petrified again.
