The permanent star shone on the planet, and the temperature in the atmosphere rose gradually. The water droplets gradually appeared on the surface of the frozen ponds and streams.
As long as this trend was maintained, the temperature on the surface of the planet would return to normal one day, and the icy sea would become a vast ocean again.
As long as there was water, there would be clouds, and there would be rain. The rain falling on the surface of the planet would wash the gray crystals of the corpses of the monsters into the bottom of the ocean.
Yet, it would be a long time before it happened.
Two days later, the temperature on the surface of the Full-Moon Planet had risen to sixty degrees below zero. Some special military chips had survived the severe cold and started collecting the information of the surroundings with the help of the self-generating and thermal microdevices. Some satellites outside the atmosphere had also survived the cold. The ice and frost on the surface of the planet had gradually melted. They started receiving the signals from the surface of the planet and then sent them to the deep part of the universe.
Both the Scorching-Sun Battleship and the distant ancestral star were shocked by the vast expanse of white snow when they saw the Moongazer again. Then, they were even more shocked to find that the nine Virgins at the edge of the atmosphere had disappeared without a trace. What had happened in the final battle?
Countless orders were sent to the Full-Moon Planet. The Scorching-Sun Battleship and the fleet led by Chen Ya sped up. Though they traveled at the highest speed and couldn't go any faster, the excitement and nervousness still pervaded the thousands of battleships.
The satellites had scanned the planet many times and ascertained that there were no monsters of the Sea of Dark Matter on the surface of the planet. In the end, the remaining projecting devices released a large number of cockroaches, but they didn't detect any dark energy. Hundreds of unmanned armors broke through the heavy ice cover and walked out from the underground bases, starting to investigate the situation on the ground. Dozens of unmanned armors arrived at the ruins of the factory as quickly as they could. They ascertained that the monsters of the Sea of Dark Matter were all dead. Their corpses and dark energy were turned into the tiniest ice crystals by an unimaginably mysterious force, and the crack in the space in the ruins of the factory was blocked by the same mysterious force.
The crisis on the Full-Moon Planet had been resolved, and it was done cleanly.
Receiving the news transmitted from the ground by the unmanned armors, thousands of underground bases broke out in cheers. After the cheers, they felt bewildered. Had the invasion of the Sea of Dark Matter come to an end? The nine million populace felt ecstatic at having survived the calamity, but they were also at a loss.
The temperature on the surface of the planet was still very cold. To ensure safety, more scans and inspections were needed. Most of the facilities were completely destroyed in that unimaginable cold wave. Humans could not survive in such an environment. The people could not leave the underground for the time being. They might have to stay underground for dozens of days or even longer. But with a goal in mind, what was a few years? This night was even more relaxing than any of the previous nights. People walked out of their respective safe houses and came to the circular square. They watched the news on the light screen, greeted their neighbors with smiles, and passed fruits and other food to each other.
Ms. Eve had just finished her work. Looking at the scene in front of her, she could not help but curl her lips into a sincere smile. Then, she thought of the young man who left last night and thought in a daze, "Ryan, is all this really related to you?"
…
…
Five days later, Cao Yuan arrived at the Scorpion Tail Nebula from the distant Buddha Land on a seemingly ordinary but actually very fast pirate spaceship.
The Sky Fire Industrial Base was no longer burning, and the space crack looked gloomier and colder, resembling the eye of a demon.
The space crack had shrunk a lot after being eroded by a dozen ascendants, but it was still about five hundred meters wide. The rest of the ascendants had been taken to the Full Moon Planet by Chen Ya to kill the Snow Girl and Jing Jiu. The Fairy Swordsman En Sheng hadn't recovered from his severe injury yet, so it was a bit difficult for him to deal with the matter alone.
Having learned the situation, Cao Yuan didn't hesitate to obtain the high-level authority of the military through Ceng Ju and invite the Fairy Swordsman En Sheng back from the Sky Fire Industrial Base. Cao Yuan took over the eroding equipment from En Sheng and started mending the space crack.
The melting of the cracks in the space had to withstand an unimaginably high temperature. Even the fairy bodies of the ascendants couldn't withstand it. The most suitable bodies were Shen Yunmai's body, Jing Jiu's and the Joyous Monk's indestructible golden body.
Coincidentally, Cao Yuan was also one of them.
In the dark space, on the planet that was getting colder. A golden Buddha held the eroding equipment and shot out an unimaginably high temperature torrent of light and heat toward the empty space. The scene was quite a thrilling one.
He was aware that something had happened on the Full Moon Planet, but he didn't pay much attention to it. What was similar to the current Jing Jiu was that he was used to doing things on a single track. However, Jing Jiu's brain was out of order, and he did it on purpose. He didn't do it to avoid it, but he hadn't thought it through yet.
Since he couldn't think it through, he decided to do something that didn't require him to think about it, like eroding the space crack.
In any case, someone had to do it, and no one could do it better than him.
Many philosophers and artists would put down the books in their hands and stop thinking when they encountered some obstacles; they would chop firewood, run, cook, or visit prostitutes. It was the same as what he was doing now.
Cao Yuan hadn't put down the eroding spear since the moment he picked it up. His golden body grew hotter and emitted a red glow; it was obvious that he was having a hard time holding it up. Yet, he didn't say anything, and his countenance didn't even change.
The Fairy Swordsman En Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, saying, "Little monk, let me do it."
"Senior Master, you're too slow. Let me do it," said Cao Yuan.
Many monsters of the Sea of Dark Matter had escaped from this space crack. Though En Sheng and the Happy Monks had killed many of them, many of them had escaped. Those monsters were drifting toward a galaxy in the space. More than one hundred thousand humans in this galaxy had been evacuated by the battleships, so they didn't have to worry about the invasion of a larger area. However, Cao Yuan still intended to go there to finish the cleanup after he had eroded the space crack.
Normally, the task of eroding the cracks in the space and cleaning up the monsters of the Sea of Dark Matter were very important, so he couldn't take care of them alone. However, the problem was that all the swordsmen and battleships of the Federation of the Milky Way were on their way to the Moongazing Planet …
It was like what Chen Ya had said.
For many people, the collaboration of the Snow Girl and Jing Jiu was even more dreadful than the invasion of the Sea of Dark Matter.
Was it ridiculous?
…
…
The space passages on the Full Moon Planet leading to other planets had been blocked by the Star Fleet and the Star Chain Fleet.
The Scorching-Sun Battleship, which was the first to arrive on the Full Moon Planet, hovered in the space tens of millions of kilometers away in Silence, releasing many detectors to track the flow of the dark particles and ensure that they would continue on their way to the permanent star instead of drifting to other places.
A dozen military spaceships landed on the surface of the planet full of ice and snow, causing countless snowstorms.
The cabin door of the spaceship opened, and Ceng Ju flew out from it and landed slowly on the ground.
Jiang Zhixing and the other soldiers and the researchers from the 857 base flew out from the spaceship wearing the isolation Mechas. Though they had confirmed that there were no living monsters of the Sea of Dark Matter on the surface of the planet after many scans and detections, it was hard to say if there were any spores or remnants of dark energy hiding in the corners of the planet. For the sake of safety, the people who came to the surface of the planet would have to adopt the highest level of isolation measures for at least ten days.
"I don't think it's a problem. But those cockroaches that have been scattered over the last few days are still alive … The people on this planet will be in trouble in the future," the voice of an advisor rang out in the communication system, followed by a wave of cheerful laughter.
They were still in the mood to joke at the moment, indicating that they were all in a relaxed mood.
The invasion of the Sea of Dark Matter had been dealt with, and the Full Moon Planet had escaped from the catastrophe. The Scorching-Sun Battleship didn't have to worry about becoming a vagrant in the space. According to the reports of the detectors in the planetary system, the flow of particles turned into by the nine dark ones didn't deviate from the direction they were heading; they would land on the surface of the permanent star in a few days.
When the soldiers on the Scorching-Sun Battleship volunteered to come to the rescue, they didn't expect that the disaster would have such a perfect ending.
The Mechas on the snowy ground looked up at the sky reflexively, but the nine high-level mother hives had already disappeared without a trace.
Normally, if the monsters of the level of the dark ones fought with the swordsmen of the human race, the result would be either earth-shattering or earth-shattering; it was even possible for the planet to be destroyed; but it was impossible for the situation to end up like this.
The surface of the planet was covered with ice and snow, and the atmosphere was exceedingly clean. The traces of a battle could be seen on the ground occasionally, but they were not as severe as regular earthquakes.
Heaven and earth were as tranquil as the aftermath of an ancient battle.
What did this mean?
It didn't mean that the nine dark ones were weaker than they had imagined; it was that the Snow Girl was more powerful than they had imagined.
Ceng Ju thought in silence that the Emperor was indeed too powerful. Fortunately, the god must have left a way to control her; otherwise, the Federation of the Milky Way would have to live under her shadow forever like the human dynasties in Chaotian.
Perhaps, the god had never thought that the Snow Girl would be able to leave Chaotian.
The ruins of the factory ahead had collapsed like a mountain, forming a path.
A few large unmanned engineering Mechas continued cleaning up the ruins along with loud booming sounds.
A few light Mechas walked out from the snowy fog. They could be seen through the protective shield that they were the administrative officials of the planet, not the soldiers.
"Hello, I'm the Mayor of Foggy Mountain, Ellen."
Mayor Ellen didn't have any experience in operating the Mechas. She parked the Mecha in front of Ceng Ju clumsily and told him about the current situation, saying, "The crack in the space has been blocked for the time being. I don't know what has happened, and there is a strange hole on the other side. We don't dare go in there for the time being."
…
…
The crack in the space was in the deep part of the ruins of the factory.
After three days and three nights of cleaning by the unmanned engineering Mechas, a large area and a few simple roads had been cleared.
The long whiskers of the dead cockroaches could be seen fluttering slightly on the muddy roads once in a while, and some black dots could be seen crawling past the ruins on both sides.
The administrative authorities had deployed a great number of cockroaches around the crack in the space.
Dozens of military Mechas and the martial practitioners in light armor were scattered around the crack, looking at Ceng Ju and his group curiously.
They didn't know who the military commander was or which fleet he belonged to; all they knew was that the commander had a very high authority.
Ceng Ju walked to the front of the crack in the space. Looking at the frosted glass barrier in Silence, he suddenly reached out his hand and touched it.
Seeing this scene, Mayor Ellen, the local officials and the people on the Scorching-Sun Battleship were all startled.
The frosted glass looked solid, but it was the rumored Sea of Dark Matter on the other side. What if something went wrong?
What they didn't know was that Ceng Ju's purpose of sensing the energy inside the barrier with his finger was to confirm his knowledge.
He was certain after his fingertip touched the barrier.
The Snow Girl was too powerful.
Jing Jiu and the Joyous Monk had to pay a great price and take a great risk to seal the crack in the space temporarily; but it seemed to be as easy as eating a meal for the Snow Girl. Though she merely sealed the crack in the space temporarily, it was still a miracle.
"Where is the strange hole you mentioned?" asked Jing Jiu as he pulled back his finger.
A few officials led him to a spot on the ground behind the crack in the space, saying, "The detector can't determine the depth of the hole. It seems to be made of some kind of absorbent material, so we can't ascertain what's inside."
The entrance to the hole looked ordinary, but it was very dark, looking like an abandoned motorized well.
Ceng Ju walked to the front of the hole and took a few glances at it. "Level Five, clear the area," he said.
Jiang Zhixing and the other officers and soldiers of the Scorching-Sun Battleship came forward and asked all the local officials and martial practitioners to leave the place politely but forcefully. Soon after, they maneuvered the Mechas to fly away from the place and set up a no-entry zone with a diameter of ten kilometers; in the meantime, they adjusted the scanning range of the satellites outside the atmosphere.
Ceng Ju reached out his finger and wrote a few amulets at the entrance of the hole. Then, he clenched his fingers and crushed the amulets into pieces.
The amulet light suddenly dispersed and turned into innumerable lines, flowing into the hole like running water.
Then, he grabbed those lines of light and lifted Happy Monk up from the bottom of the hole, which was more than ten kilometers deep.
Happy Monk's clothes were torn, and his golden body was covered with wounds. His eyes were closed, and he was still in a coma.
Ceng Ju cleared the area not because he was worried that Happy Monk would be watched, but because he didn't want others to see him in such a sorry state.
The lines of light suddenly dispersed and turned into light spots, falling on Happy Monk's golden body like leaves in the spring rain, and slowly seeping into it.
It didn't take long for Happy Monk to wake up. Seeing Ceng Ju in front of him, he knew that six days had passed. Presumably, the Snow Girl had already gone far away. Looking at the misty glaze on the crack in the space, he murmured, "It's said that one will go blind after seeing too much snow. Is it true that his eyes look like this?"
That day, Happy Monk fled to the Dark Sea and went straight to hell. Ceng Ju, the Sword Fairy En Sheng, and many others thought that they would never see him again in this lifetime. Ceng Ju felt very gratified to see him again today. Noticing that Happy Monk's mood was a bit off, Ceng Ju raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "That's a cataract eye."
Emotions were like the ocean; once one was immersed in it, it was hard to extricate himself from it, even though Happy Monk was the forefather of the Zen sects and had an unparalleled willpower.
To get rid of this kind of emotion, one had to do it in the opposite way.
The Zen sects had a similar saying.
Happy Monk sighed, "That's not the way to use the Dry Shit Puppet."
Ceng Ju didn't say anything more. He took off the military coat and put it on Happy Monk. Ceng Ju ordered Jiang Zhixing to send a Mecha to take Happy Monk back to the spaceship to recuperate. He also brought a few sets of melting equipment from the spaceship. Before Happy Monk left, he glanced at Jing Jiu and said, "You're not as good as me and Cao Yuan in this aspect; don't force yourself."
Ceng Ju said, "It's fine as long as you can do it. You don't have to be very good at it."
…
…
The high temperature generated by the melting equipment melted all the snow in the ruins of the factory. All of a sudden, water of various sizes was falling down everywhere.
Some cockroaches that didn't leave the factory were burned to death by the high temperature and washed out by the hot water. It was thought that they wouldn't be resurrected again.
Mayor Ellen and other officials, as well as those martial arts cultivators wearing light mechas, stood in the distance outside the ruins, looking at the bright light that shot into the sky and the heat that seemed to be right in front of them. They were very shocked and did not know what the military was doing.
The unimaginably high temperature even reached the upper atmosphere. All of a sudden, the snowflakes fell down and turned into rain before they reached the ground.
In the rainstorm, a few military Mechas landed in front of Mayor Ellen and the others.
Seeing the order on the light screen and the name of the person, Mayor Ellen felt even more shocked and baffled, wondering why Eve was arrested.
