Thanks to the unimaginable technology of the distant ancient civilization, this planet had no dark matter left, and it was impossible for those spores to remain active after so many years. The problem was that there might be some sleeping monsters in some extreme environments deep under the planet, and the most troublesome ones were the dark bacteria and viruses called blood thumbs, which might still exist in some places.
Those blood thumbs were so tiny that they could hardly be seen by naked eyes. Even the swordsmen in the Star State of the Federation of the Milky Way could not resist their infection without advanced protective equipment.
After the incident in the building of the military headquarters, everybody knew that Jing Jiu was a formidable swordsman. However, he was the chief advisor of the military and had the highest authority, so he had to receive the strictest protection.
Jing Jiu flew toward the nearby city without wearing any protective equipment, startling the military officers in the circular base. It didn't take long for the alarm to ring. A few armed Mechas equipped with special suits rose into the sky, ready to chase after him along with the airwaves and flying dust.
Seeing this, Shen Yunmai raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that they should not worry.
As the zither music started again, Jing Jiu leaped into the sky and turned into a gust of wind, passing through the protective cover and disappearing into the distant city.
…
…
There were neither tall buildings nor neon lights in the city.
There were only dim streets and black corpses everywhere in the buildings that looked like floating islands.
Those black corpses still had the same shape as they had many years ago, looking a bit soul-stirring. Reflecting the dim light of the distant stars, they looked like the real scenes in hell.
Jing Jiu didn't pay attention to these corpses or the remains of the distant ancient civilization in the buildings. He raised his head and looked at the sky.
A dozen sword lights passed through the dim streets and came to his side. The lights condensed into a figure.
Shen Yunmai said, "The people in the research institute don't know that there are many blood thumbs on this planet, but the military officers in the base do."
Jing Jiu uttered "hmm".
After he arrived in the city, he had sensed the existence of those tiny, dark, and cold creatures, knowing that they should be the so-called blood thumbs.
Those creatures were indeed too small to be seen or discovered, but they couldn't escape the perception of his Sword Awareness.
"The first time I came to 857, I was as confident as you are now, but I was infected. My right hand started to turn black, so I had to cut it off with a sword and get a mechanical arm. After that, I had to deal with these things more and more, and I felt that it was a little troublesome, so I changed my entire body. That's why I don't have to worry about these things now.
Shen Yunmai raised her beautiful hands and admired them for a moment in the dim light of the star. "What about you?" she asked. Why aren't you worried? "
Jing Jiu recalled the battle in the military building and thought, So that's how it is.
Shen Yun looked at Jing Jiu's face. After looking at it for a while, he sighed and said, "That's right, your body must also be special."
There was no dark matter on this planet, and the spores were not active. Even if there were, Jing Jiu was not worried about being infected by the darkness.
Earlier, a Blood Thumb had drifted over in the dust. He deliberately let it fall on his hand and felt it for a while before he shattered it with his sword will.
With the Blood Thumb's piercing and soaking abilities, it could not break through his skin at all.
The ascendants from Chaotian like the Immortal Tan and Cao Yuan had no need to worry about these problems after their bodies were modified by the fairy energy.
If that god intended to turn Chaotian into a laboratory, he had at least succeeded in this aspect.
What was hard to understand was that Shen Yunmai was the son of the Grandmaster of Aoyama, and his status in the Federation of the Milky Way was similar to that of the Crown Prince. As such, he knew many things. For instance, the Immortal Chi Song brought the battleship to pick Jing Jiu up, but he didn't know that the laboratory on the Stargate Base had observed and studied his body.
Shen Yunmai followed Jing Jiu's line of sight and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Thinking of what Lian Sanyue said, Jing Jiu replied, "I'm looking at the sun."
Looking at the permanent star from the battleship, the color of the permanent star was almost black.
Looking at it from the surface of the planet, the permanent star looked a bit brighter, looking more like a gray color.
The gray color was the combination of the light and the darkness.
The light was the permanent star itself, and the darkness was the spores covering the surface of the permanent star.
As the temperature on the surface of the permanent star was not high enough, those dark spores were not burned away. They had stayed on the surface for more than one hundred thousand years after losing their vitality. Those dark spores drifted away from the planet and the battleship after losing their vitality, and were brought to the surface of the permanent star by the gravitational force. How many people had died in this galaxy more than one hundred thousand years ago?
Hundreds of millions or billions?
Most of the light and heat radiation of the permanent star had been blocked; but why could this planet survive until now? The temperature on the surface of the planet was still suitable, and the ruins were still intact. To say nothing of the fact that it hadn't become a world of ice and snow, and the lake water that was devoid of life energy hadn't frozen over.
The utilization of the geothermal energy was only one aspect; the large energy furnace left by the distant ancient civilization was the most important reason. The research institute of the Science Academy of the Federation on this planet was far superior to the laboratories on the Stargate Base in terms of level and scale. What the scientists and engineers needed to do was to understand, analyze, learn and imitate the achievements left by the distant ancient civilization, and then transform them into the technological achievements of the new humans, such as the protective shield of the battleship and the mysterious weapons of the military.
The technological prowess of the Federation of the Milky Way had advanced by leaps and bounds. It took them only a few thousand years to develop to such a level; it was because they had discovered this planet.
The number of this planet was 857; it was the eight hundred and fifty-seventh planet with the remains of the distant ancient civilization that the new humans had discovered.
Planet No. 857 was the first planet to be swallowed by the Sea of Dark Matter more than one hundred thousand years ago.
A great many spatial cracks appeared in the city and the underground, and the dark matter gushed out noiselessly, changing the whole world.
The flowers, trees, birds, animals and humans had all turned into dreadful monsters.
The humans suffered a great deal of casualties, and the reinforcement fleet was also infected. The whole planet and even the nearby space had become a dreadful hell.
In the end, the distant ancient civilization had no choice but to make a difficult decision. They employed a certain weapon to wipe out all the lives on the planet No. 857.
When the distant ancient civilization sealed off this planet and employed the secret weapon, many humans should still be alive on the surface and underground of the planet.
Those humans had all died, like the insects.
In the next moment, this planet was completely sealed off.
The Federation of the Milky Way had discovered many planets inhabited by the distant ancient civilization over the years; but the planet No. 857 was the only one that was preserved so well, especially in the central area of this city.
The humans still had some hope at the time. They wanted to find a way to defeat the Sea of Dark Matter through research.
Later, the humans didn't have any more hope. They abandoned all the planets swallowed by the Sea of Dark Matter, and they didn't use so many resources to save them.
Jing Jiu pulled back his gaze and looked at the city.
The whole city was enshrouded by a protective shield, and the air was absolutely still. There wouldn't be any wind for many years. However, a gust of breeze arose today as Jing Jiu and Shen Yunmai arrived.
The breeze blew up the black spores in the streets and buildings, making them flutter in the air.
It was hard to describe the architectural style of the city with words. It was unclear whether it was the ancient style or the interplanetary style; it looked more like the exhibits in the modern art museums. In fact, this planet and this city were the exhibits left by the distant ancient civilization to the later generations, including those black corpses.
As the breeze blew over, a tree toppled to the ground and turned into a puff of black smoke, turning into countless dead spores drifting in all directions.
Jing Jiu suddenly remarked as he followed the spores in the distance, "Some species are missing."
The monsters transformed from the insects were the scales; the infected animals were the half-tails; the plants were the gray wood; the microorganisms were the bloody thumbs; and the humans were the precursors.
Similar things could be seen in the snowland of Chaotian, like the snow beetles, the snow worms, and the personal guards of the Snow Girl. What was the Snow Girl then?
He had encountered many heavenly demons of the outside world after his ascension, and what were those monsters waving the black tentacles?
More importantly, what were the formidable and dreadful monsters called the Mother Nest by the Federation of the Milky Way?
Were there other lifeforms in the universe?
Those lifeforms were very powerful and would turn into the Mother Nest after being infected by the Sea of Dark Matter?
Jing Jiu was quite interested in this matter, which was a rare occurrence for him.
Shen Yunmai knew what was on Jing Jiu's mind; it was because he had the same thought when he had just learned about this knowledge.
"It's a pity that the humans are still alone. It's certain that there are no intelligent lifeforms like us in the local galaxy. As for whether there are intelligent lifeforms in the alien galaxy … "Shen Yunmai looked at the night sky and said," That's the destination chosen by those escapees more than one hundred thousand years ago; but those guys must have died in the hopeless and long journey. "
This place was the edge of the local galaxy. The stars in the night sky visible from the No. 857 Planet were not so dense that it couldn't be called a sea of stars.
It was pitch-black when the planet's back was facing the local galaxy.
After a moment of silence, Jing Jiu said, "We should go there and have a look."
