They were at the center of the earth.
The flat cliffs, the passageways, and this space were all man-made, so it was hard for a wind with a clear purpose to come into being naturally.
Jing Jiu knew it was Ceng Ju's magic; but he calculated it without looking at Ceng Ju. He was certain that this Sage was very powerful and was only slightly weaker than himself.
The fog had dispersed, revealing the dazzling starry sky. Innumerable stars appeared in this huge space.
Of course, it was not real; it was a kind of simulation.
Jing Jiu found the ocean of stars familiar, and he soon realized that it was the star chart of the local galaxy that he had seen many times.
There were at least hundreds of billions of stars in the sky, which looked like a real picture in front of the three of them.
Humans and other intelligent beings could easily develop a feeling of awe when they looked up at the starry sky, but most of the time they chose to ignore it.
The starry sky was too far away from the human world to affect their busy and arduous life in the human world.
Shen Yunmai and Ceng Ju were not ordinary people, but humans of the highest level. So they often thought about the relationship between themselves and the universe. The universe would not laugh at their thoughts; it just looked at them calmly and indifferently, which made them feel the fragility and insignificance of life, and then a strong feeling of emptiness arose in them.
"When I came here for the first time, I was shocked by this ocean of stars for a long time, and then I felt sad for a long time."
Looking at the starry sky outside the cliff, Shen Yunmai said with a complicated expression, "It was like the time when I was in the hot spring when I was little."
Jing Jiu said, "It's indeed tiring to travel on a journey without a destination."
"This is the star chart of the local galaxy left by the distant ancient civilization. According to what that person said and the archaeological findings, the center of every habitable planet of the distant ancient civilization had such a star chart. However, most of the habitable planets were destroyed in that war, and the star charts of the places like the Stargate Base had also vanished."
Ceng Ju continued, "These star charts are the real-time reflections of the real universe. In other words, this place should be called a large observatory."
There were indeed many secrets on this planet, including the materials he had read on the Scorching-Sun Battleship. "What's the answer?" asked Jing Jiu.
In the meeting room of the research institute, Ceng Ju said that he had passed the inspection and could learn the biggest secret, which was the real answer of the human race.
Ceng Ju raised his arm and pointed to a remote place outside the cliff. As his fingertip pointed, the universe there became brighter, making it easier to observe.
This starry sky was a real-time reflection of the real universe. Naturally, there were not only stars but also various astronomical objects such as black holes and planets.
The local galaxy that spanned ten million light-years had become a star map in the core of the planet. Naturally, it had shrunk countless times. Whether it was the giant stars or the black holes, they were just bright or dark spots in the mathematical sense. It was even more impossible to see the existence of any planets. Logically speaking, the nebula was hard to see due to its thinness, but at this moment, it became a little more conspicuous. The space there was brightened, and the nebula blocked the light of the star behind it, so the core became darker, and the edge was like a burning flame.
The nebula was light blue. Of course, this was a simulation of visible light. Its biggest characteristic was that it was extremely huge. It was hard to imagine how it was formed in the first place.
Jing Jiu knew about this nebula. Back when he was collecting data and knowledge on the Star Field Network, he had many questions about this nebula.
Looking at the nebula from the perspective of Planet 857 that day, Jing Jiu had more questions; and he had also vaguely understood something.
The nebula had two large projecting surfaces, which were thousands of light-years long. It was unclear how many dusts and broken pieces were hovering in the middle of the nebula in Silence.
The light blue light shot out from the projecting surfaces; it looked like a blue butterfly when seen from a distance.
…
…
Jing Jiu had seen this butterfly in many places, like the place where the assassin in overalls sat and the bookmark in General Li's office.
The ascendants like General Li thought that they were the evolved humans and the chosen saviors of the world.
Chaotian was probably a shelter and a laboratory arranged by that god, or a cocoon.
They called themselves the cocoon breakers and used the butterfly as their symbol.
Now that he thought about it, it should have something to do with this patch of blue nebula.
Ceng Ju asked, "You should have learned a great deal after coming to this world, and you have learned a great deal of history and information over the last few days. Have you thought of a way to defeat the Sea of Dark Matter?"
"No," replied Jing Jiu, who had discussed this issue with Hua Xi.
If they couldn't figure out a way in the end, they had no choice but to flee, even though the journey was hopeless and had no destination.
"The human civilization will never be able to eliminate the threat of the Sea of Dark Matter by relying solely on defense. It's because the invasion of the darkness is soundless, and we have no idea how to defend against it. The distant ancient civilization had attempted the interstellar migration, such as strengthening the walls and clearing the fields; but it was proven to be ineffective in the end; it was because the Sea of Dark Matter was expanding too fast. What should we do then? In order to solve the problem of the Sea of Dark Matter, we have to start from the root and block up those cracks in the dimension space. We all know that the cracks in the dimension space can be eroded at a temperature higher than seven million degrees, and the central temperature of the nuclear bombs can meet this condition. However, once the cracks in the dimension space appear, they will span the length of the entire planetary system. It will take too much energy to use the nuclear bombs to destroy them. Even though the distant ancient civilization had almost unlimited resources, they still couldn't do it. "
Ceng Ju went on, "Fortunately, there are countless nuclear bombs exploding in our universe."
Jing Jiu knew that he was referring to the stars.
Innumerable stars had been burning in the universe for billions of years, and the burning process would continue until they died of natural causes.
It seemed that there were innumerable nuclear bombs exploding in those burning stars.
The problem was that they were two different things.
Jing Jiu said, "The stable stars can absorb the energy on the surface, but they can't utilize the energy in their cores; and the temperature on the surface of most stars is far lower than the temperature needed to destroy the cracks in the space."
Ceng Ju said while looking at Jing Jiu calmly and earnestly, "As such, we need to make the stars unstable until they break apart or explode in the end."
"Weapons of the star state?" asked Jing Jiu.
The weapons of the star state were weapons that could destroy a star or use a star as a weapon.
This definition was simple and even crude, but it was daunting.
"That's right," said Ceng Ju.
"It's an arrogant and crazy idea," remarked Jing Jiu.
It was true that this idea was indeed crazy.
Making many stars explode in the universe and wiping out those cracks in the dimension space was like a story in science fiction.
Anyone in the Federation of the Milky Way who had heard of this plan would be so shocked that they might even pass out.
Jing Jiu said, "Even if we have the weapons of the star state, it's still hard to succeed."
"The distant ancient civilization did it; more precisely, it was that god who did it. Though the whole civilization perished together with the Sea of Dark Matter, the darkness didn't come back to the universe for more than one hundred thousand years." Ceng Ju continued, "With the help of that god, we have recovered some information and figured out how that god did it."
"That patch of nebula is not the trace left by the explosion of a supernova, nor is it born in any other normal way."
"There used to be a patch of starry sky there."
"Countless stars were burning there in Silence, emitting light and heat and illuminating the beautiful human world."
As Jing Jiu narrated, the patch of blue nebula grew brighter, as if countless stars were being born in it.
"It was the most prosperous and concentrated region of the distant ancient civilization."
"It was also the place where the Sea of Dark Matter first appeared."
"At the last moment of the distant ancient civilization, that god ignited all the stars."
"The Sea of Dark Matter disappeared, and the civilization was disrupted."
"A corner of the universe recovered its tranquility, except that a blue butterfly appeared there."

It's not a science fiction story; it's a Xianxia story. Don't take it too seriously … It's like the spy story is not a science fiction story, but a martial arts story. I was so bored during the one-month confinement that I started playing TikTok again to watch the spy stories. I found that they were really interesting!
