More than one hundred thousand years ago, when the distant ancient civilization was facing a catastrophe, they divided into a few groups, as described in many novels.
The two most mainstream factions were naturally the Defense Faction and the Escape Faction.
The history proved that the Defense Group had been completely annihilated in the end.
Yet, they had succeeded in stopping the expansion of the Sea of Dark Matter and keeping it dormant.
This patch of the universe had welcomed a new human civilization more than one hundred thousand years later, so it couldn't be said that they were failures.
There were many conjectures as to what would happen to the Escape Group. Most of the conjectures were that they would end up in a hopeless or even miserable state.
This was not a curse with hatred, but the result of many calculations based on many mathematical models.
Jing Jiu had made a few simple calculations and found that the Escape Group would end up in a bad situation.
It was hard to reach the edge of the universe, and it was also hard to reach other galaxy groups, like the Opposite Shore in the legends.
Even if they left the edge of this galaxy group and went to the nearest galaxy group, it would be a long journey that would lead to the extinction of the civilization.
There were trillions of permanent stars in this galaxy group, spanning a distance of ten million light years. But why could the distant ancient civilization and the humans in the Federation of the Milky Way reach most of the places in this galaxy group? The reason was simple. It was because the distant ancient civilization and the humans had the star map of this galaxy group.
The star map referred to was not the information about the distribution of the star areas or the relative positions, but the invisible warped holes among the stars.
The warped holes were like the worm holes in the mud. The entrances and exits were all in the field, and it was impossible to observe the inside of the holes. As long as they could figure out the information, they would be able to travel freely.
All the warped holes discovered by the humans were in this galaxy group for some unknown reason or because of the evil intention of the creator.
Even the brave warriors who were brave enough to face the unknown dangers couldn't leave through the warped holes.
The flying devices of the humans had to rely on the conventional propulsion to travel to the farther universe.
Even though the devices of the gravitational field were more developed and the curvature flight had become a reality, the flying devices of the humans still couldn't surpass the speed of light.
Since they couldn't surpass the speed of light, the distance between the galaxies became an unimaginable concept of time. No matter how many crystals and energy supplies those flying devices carried, they were far from enough compared to the vastness of the universe. In the end, they would die because they ran out of energy, just like the fate of this universe.
The mountains could be opened, the seas could be leveled, and the lovers could meet; but it was impossible.
Nirvana was only related to entropy and had nothing to do with hard work.
Some people also proposed a common hypothesis in science fiction — the fugitive humans who took the giant spaceship to leave might establish a completely different social model in the long space voyage, creating different morals and laws, stimulating more life potential, evolving into a more powerful new human being, and there was hope that they could reach the other side.
This kind of hypothesis once prevailed for decades, until the Hua family published an extremely short article according to that female priest's intention.
The last paragraph of the article read as follows.
"Even after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, from the grassland to the starry sky, humans have not undergone any fundamental changes. Even if they have changed, so what? The Protoss cannot transcend the laws of physics of this universe. The evolution of all life itself occurs under the existing laws of physics. Those who left back then are already dead, and any expectations for them are a humiliation to the dead and irresponsible to themselves. "

Jing Jiu had learned a lot about the fugitives of the ancient civilization from the top secret documents, and he had also read the article written by the girl in the bathrobe. However, he still believed that humans should go to more distant places.
His expression was calm and his tone was nonchalant when he made the statement, as if he were saying that it was time to get up in the morning.
Looking at him, Shen Yunmai furrowed his eyebrows slightly, as if he couldn't understand why someone like Jing Jiu would say such meaningless words like those excellent miners.
Jing Jiu didn't have a way to travel through the galaxy, so he dropped the topic. "There is no other intelligent life in this galaxy; what are the heavenly demons of the outside world?" he asked.
Shen Yunmai had heard the cocoon breakers talking about Chaotian, and he had read Jing Jiu's article carefully, so he knew what the heavenly demons of the outside world meant.
"The monsters created by the dark matter and the second infection of the spores … You can consider them as new monsters created by swallowing and merging with each other. According to the current analysis, the Blood Thumb played an important role in this process. And some rare monsters might have something to do with the spiritual wills of the Cultivation practitioners. You have to be careful if you encounter them. "
Thinking of the heavenly demons of the outside world he had encountered after leaving Chaotian, Jing Jiu thought that the ones killed by the Snow Girl were not so powerful, but the one he encountered in the end was indeed troublesome.
He had used up all of his fairy energy to kill the Mother Nest. If the frequency of the Mother Nest was too high, Jing Jiu would have no choice but to find a way to build a spaceship with a superluminal speed.
Shen Yunmai continued, "We call the monster of the highest state merged with the Mother Nest. It can release many spore generators, and its body is extremely powerful. Even the swordsmen in the Inherited Night State … or the figures in the Heavenly Arrival State as you call them are not a match for it. Though you're very powerful, you shouldn't fight it alone. Let the fleet do it."
How could he not know that Jing Jiu had killed a Mother Nest? Thinking that Jing Jiu didn't know what he had experienced in the lab of the Stargate, Jing Jiu felt it odd. He thought that those old guys took care of this child as if he were a baby and only told him what he needed to know; they didn't tell him anything about the secrets that could bring him danger.
Thinking of all this, Jing Jiu fixed his gaze on a pile of black fallen leaves by the street. The gust of wind brought by Jing Jiu and Shen Yunmai had stirred up many dead spores and turned many fallen leaves into powder. The pile of black fallen leaves became sparser, exposing the thing underneath.
It was hard to tell if the human corpse was a man or a woman. The thing in his arms was not a baby, but a cat.
Both the human and the cat retained their original shapes, covered with a thin layer of black. If one looked closely, they would find that the black layer was made up of countless tiny black crystals.
What kind of weapons were used by the distant ancient civilization more than one hundred thousand years ago?
Jing Jiu walked over, squatted down, and stroked the dead cat gently. He didn't sense any remaining energy, but somehow, he felt a familiar and intimate feeling coming from his fingertip.
Jing Jiu had an unimaginably strong control over his body. This should be the most tender touch in the universe; but the cat and the human holding it collapsed instantly, falling down and turning into ashes.
This scene reminded Jing Jiu of the ancient battleground at the bottom of the Gathered-Soul Valley, where the skeletons of the huge animals were blown into ashes by the wind.

The code of the circular base was the same as that of this planet, 857. The living facilities in the base were quite complete, even a bit luxurious. The suite provided for him, the chief consultant of the military, could be compared with the luxurious villas on the vacation planets.
Sitting by the window, Hua Xi looked at the vast sandy land on the other side of the base, lost in thought.
The young military officer stood in a corner in Silence, the corners of his mouth curling up slowly, as if he had just said something.
According to the law of the Federation of the Milky Way, a cyborg like him had no basic human rights because he didn't have artificial intelligence.
According to the law of the Federation of the Milky Way, any development in the field of artificial intelligence was forbidden.
As such, the former law was basically a few paragraphs of nonsense.
This young military officer had no sense of existence, be it on the Scorching-Sun Battleship or here.
It was probably for this reason that Jing Jiu and Hua Xi didn't hide anything from him.
Hearing the footsteps, Hua Xi turned around and asked Jing Jiu, "What did you see?"
Jing Jiu countered, "Why do you think General Li asked me to see all this?"
After some thought, Hua Xi replied, "I think he hoped that you could see the problem and then help solve it."
"What do you think then?" asked Jing Jiu while staring into her eyes.
The information and this planet had told him many things, and the conversation with Shen Yunmai had helped him ascertain some facts.
The ascendants in Chaotian included the human Cultivation practitioners, the divine animals of ancient times, the giants in the ocean, and the Snow Girl. Where were these powerful beings?
Shen Yunmai knew very little.
The grandmasters of Aoyama and General Li had indeed placed the hope of solving the problem of the Sea of Dark Matter on Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu didn't know if this was a good thing or not.
In other words, there was nothing good or bad about this matter.
Hearing Jing Jiu's question, Hua Xi looked at the barren plain outside the window again. There was no smile on her small face, and the expression in her eyes was no longer naïve; it was so peaceful that it was frightening.
"If you were the leader of the humans, what would you choose when you encountered the Sea of Dark Matter more than one hundred thousand years ago?"

(The introduction on the cover has been changed a few days ago. Maybe many of you don't know it. You can check it out. The introduction is a statement by Mr. Lu Xun: If a human wants to become a fairy man, he should ascend to heaven even though he was born on the ground. It is like the title of this chapter.)
