When night fell, the silver moon hung high in the sky. Standing on the land of Holletta, one would see a night sky that was completely different from that on Earth. Two full moons, one big and one small, hung in the sky, sprinkling silver light all over the sky. On the moon known as the Primary Moon, the most striking feature was always an irregular red spot.
It was the site of the legendary lunar city. In ancient times, the Magic Empire used incredible technology to send humans into space. At that time, mortals even had the ability to build cities and factories on the moon. In those years, the moon was as prosperous as the earth, with vast fields, magic towers, and large teleportation stations or spacecraft landing and landing platforms transporting passengers day and night between the earth and the moon.
However, when the apocalypse came, the moon and the earth suffered the same fate. The remaining ancient books of Holletta recorded the terrible scene that the astrologers on the surface saw at that time: a dozen small red spots suddenly appeared on the moon, and then these red spots rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. The outline of the city on the moon quickly swallowed up like melting cheese. The entire moon turned blood-red, and it took a few days for the blood to slowly fade. The last red color that was left behind was the Great Red Spot. People believed that the Great Red Spot was the same thing as the Beinz Blood Lake.
However, whether the red spot on the moon was another blood lake or not, they would have to go up and see for themselves.
After saying goodbye to Becky, Hao Ren did not choose to directly teleport back to the Alamanda station. Instead, he released the Petrachelys in an uninhabited wilderness and then set off for the planet's large moon — the Primary Moon.
The vast space was dark and vast, and the stars in the Plane of Dreams were as brilliant as the real world. Who knew how many small worlds that had once nurtured life in those brilliant galaxies were waiting to be discovered. After opening his mind, Hao Ren sailed the spacecraft in space and thought of many things that he had never thought about before. He looked at the twinkling stars and realized that it was almost impossible to find all the planets that had been sown by the Seed of Origin in such a vast universe. He had to find some kind of shortcut or pattern. Perhaps this could allow him to restore the drifting route of the Seed of Origin in the universe tens of millions of years ago, and even the position of the Goddess of Creation.
"It's quiet." The MDT was stuck on the control panel of the spacecraft and suddenly sighed. "It's dead silent."
Vivian looked up and asked, "What do you mean by quiet?"
"In this universe," the MDT activated the communicator panel. "Look at these channels, there is only our own signal. All types and frequencies of local communication channels are barren. Electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, quantum communication, subspace interference... All channels are silent. You can't feel it, but I feel like I'm floating in a desert. The whole universe is silent, with only a few oases lingering. Like Holletta, they don't even have the ability to transmit sound out of their star system. "
"The quieter it is, the more disturbing it is. This means that all civilizations capable of entering space have probably gone extinct. Otherwise, the universe would not be so silent." Hao Ren shook his head and took out a one-foot-long silver-white metal can from his dimensional pocket. It contained the tissue samples taken from the Divine Sarcophagus. "Lily, send this to the lab. The servo host is ready."
Lily ran out with the jar. Vivian looked up at Hao Ren and asked, "You're trying to replicate the Seed of Origin, right?"
"Err... You could tell?" Hao Ren scratched his head. "I think I was very careful in front of Orben."
You and the MDT may be able to fool bumpkins, but you can't fool me. It's not like I don't know what electromagnetic waves are. As long as you can replicate the same frequency, who cares if your signal source is carbon-based or silicon-based? "Vivian pursed her lips." You must have collected these samples to study the Seed of Origin. "
"But I'm afraid Cardinal Orben won't be willing to cooperate with us, let alone allow us to take samples." Hao Ren smirked. "The Seed of Origin is equivalent to a goddess. We don't know what their bottom line is in this regard, so it's better to avoid it if possible."
"But do you think it's that easy to create the Seed of Origin?" Vivian frowned. "I don't think it's a 'living thing' in the conventional sense... Although it looks like it has flesh and blood, who knows what will grow out of it if we replicate it directly. Be careful that we can't control it and turn it into Resident Evil. "
Hao Ren nodded. "I know. The success rate of replication is probably less than 10%... But it's better than no progress at all. At least we know what the Seed of Origin is made of. "
"Say, have you thought about what to do with the other two First Borns?" Nangong Wuyue, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly asked. "I heard that the Giant Tree of Life is easy to deal with. The key is the Volcano of Dusk. It's too unstable."
"I have a few preliminary plans, but I'll have to consult with the experts when I get back." Hao Ren deliberately kept them in suspense. At the same time, the MDT's voice suddenly interrupted. "Stop talking, stop talking. We're here — the lunar ruins."
The spacecraft had entered the Primary Moon's near-lunar orbit and was rapidly descending. Hao Ren and the rest skimmed past the surface of the moon at an altitude of two to three thousand meters. What they saw was an ancient ruin that was almost indistinguishable from its original form.
The surface of the moon was a lifeless grayish-white. Most of the terrain was flat and covered with a layer of fine debris. The ruins of the former Lunar Kingdom could be seen everywhere. Traces of man-made objects could still be seen in the ruins. There were gray wreckage that looked like buildings or towers lying crookedly on the ground, but all of these things had been severely corroded, and the degree of corrosion even made them appear as if they had been "melted". The wreckage of the buildings had become round and collapsed, and all the edges and corners had been smoothed out. It gave the impression of a softened plastic model.
The MDT activated the spacecraft's image analysis and restoration system, trying to restore the crumpled and twisted wreckage to its original appearance. So some majestic phantoms of the city appeared on the holographic projection, covering the real situation of the moon. The MDT used some color blocks to mark the different areas of the model. "This should be the outer wall. It has been completely destroyed, leaving only the base. This position is probably an energy well or something like that. This is the take-off and landing platform of the spacecraft... "
"The technology of the ancient Magic Empire seems to be more advanced than expected. Their lunar station was not just a small station, but a mature alien colony. This planet must have undergone in-depth ecological transformation." Nangong Wuyue looked at the simulation of the lunar city on the holographic projection, imagining the lush greenery of the planet under an artificial dome. "Maybe there was an ecological shield above our heads... Brother, can you stop scratching your chair?"
Nangong Sanba was looking down at the seat of the spacecraft. At this time, he suddenly looked up and stared at Hao Ren. "Did you really just pull out a spacecraft?!"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes. "You just realized it now?"
"Actually, I haven't figured it out yet." Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren, dumbfounded. "You're talking about spaceships, alien technology, and magic from another world … I don't think these things are right. Is your work science fiction or fantasy?"
"I think I'm a clergyman." Hao Ren nodded solemnly. "And if you continue to dig at my spacecraft, I'll throw you out. It's minus two hundred degrees outside, a vacuum."
Nangong Sanba suddenly sat up straight, revealing his usual big tail wolf look. "Of course, as a demon hunter, I'm still very receptive. By the way, what are we doing here? Exploring alien civilization? "
"Do you still remember the bunch of tentacles you saw in the cave?" Hao Ren pointed to an image on the holographic projection. "That thing can destroy an entire ecosystem in seconds. And we are here... to find out how that thing started an interstellar war."
The holographic projection showed the scene in front of the spacecraft. There was a smear of red at the end of the horizon. It was the Great Red Spot on the moon.
It was a frozen lake of blood.
"Look at those things by the lake." The fluff on Lily's ears slowly stood up. "They look like tentacles..."
"Those who still have monthly votes, hurry up and vote! By the way, why does my monthly vote not go smoothly every month... "
