The star in the center of the Qingqiu Galaxy is an orange dwarf that emits a calm and eternal brilliance.

Compared with the yellow dwarf star that earthlings are familiar with, that is, the sun, the star called 'Qingqiu' is more petite and stable, natural, and the light is also more dim.

Therefore, in the distance where the light of the stars is difficult to influence, it is only a bright dot that can determine the orientation in the universe, and does not provide the planet with heat suitable for life.

In the condescending observation lens of the Yuanwang, the entire Qingqiu Wu is dead silent, only a little frost and the ruins of the city exist around the space-time gate.

In the past, when the immortals were still there, there was a huge freight city connecting the two realms on the fifth level of Qingqiu, and the special products of this realm were continuously imported into the earth as the central divine court, and the earth side would also transport the creations from the 'upper realm' to Qingqiu through here.

Although it was completely deserted at this time, judging from the area of the ruins, it may have been home to millions of people in the past, and there was a perfect ecological circulation system with a radius of more than 800 kilometers - this can be imagined from the large number of man-made lakes and rivers around the city.

The official ground exploration team has already started to explore the ruins, but until now there is no gain, presumably the people who were able to leave with the gods have left, the entire ruins are almost empty, only some remaining stone tablets can be found on the ruins in the square, by identifying the words on it, it is determined that this place is called 'Qingqiu'.

"Qingqiu Secret Realm, does it mean that there will be a nine-tailed fox in this place?"

In his cabin, staring at Qingqiu San identified in the star map, Liu Wuxin said in an expectant tone in the spaceship channel: "Or is it a fairy fox or something...... Cough. ”

Of course, as if sensing that the tone of his words was a little strange, the Lingwu martial artist, who was a part-time fitness instructor, coughed lightly and explained, "It's purely out of curiosity, I don't mean anything else." ”

And Su Yan glanced at the other party's physique through the light curtain, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly - the so-called moderate fitness attracts the opposite sex, and excessive fitness attracts the same sex, but Liu Wuxin's degree of exercise has long exceeded the level of 'excessive', although he looks quite standard, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, even if he leaves a board inch, he has the temperament of a military man in the last century, but according to his hideous and strong body, there must be basically no opposite sex of the same age who dares to approach.

Neither will the same sex.

It's no wonder that as soon as he opened his mouth, he exuded a very, very lacking taste of emotional life.

But as the leader of the team, he still opened his mouth to explain: "The nine-tailed fox is not clear, but the fairy fox clan must be indispensable - and according to ancient books, not only the fairy fox, maybe there are also a lot of mermaids." ”

——The country of green hills, its yang is more jade, and its yin is more green. There is a beast, its shape is like a fox and nine tails, its sound is like a baby, it can eat people, and the eater is not Gu.

——The British water is out of the Yan, and the South China Sea is injected into the Ze of the wings. Among them, there are many red squids, its shape is like a fish and a human face, its sound is like a mandarin duck, and it is not scabies when eaten

The so-called red pig, although it sounds like a grotesque thing like a human-faced fish, but after all, the mimicry will progress, and even the original mimicry of the Ximu Datianzun was just a fierce beast like a female leopard, and later it was transformed into a complete immortal body.

Therefore, Su Ri guessed that if Qingqiu really still had a red squid now, it would be about the same as a mermaid if it turned into a human form and rounded it off.

And speaking of this, Su Yan also remembered something, sitting on the captain's chair, he prompted on the public channel of the spaceship: "It should be noted that the Qingqiu Secret Realm should be a prosperous area in ancient times, and when you get to that planet, you must be careful of every creature, whether it is an animal or a plant - maybe it is a human being walking in the wild, and if it causes accidental casualties, the official will severely punish it." ”

The design of the Yuanwang is very peculiar, except for the captain's cabin, which can accommodate many people, it seems relatively spacious, the other people's cabins are independent and blocked, the spaceship AI provides food, everyone communicates by projection light screens and public channels, and private communication needs to apply to the captain, and it is impossible to hide anything.

Just like the ships that sailed in the past, the captain of the spaceship on the long-distance voyage also needed extreme authority to manage everyone in order to ensure the stability of this independent small society, and the design of the spaceship also guaranteed the authority of the captain.

"Yes!"

The neat response of everyone was heard in the channel, even the ghostly Tallinn crew.

Although Su Sun is very young, according to his qualifications and achievements, it is indeed not a problem to manage such a team well.

Giving the command to move forward, the Far Hope began to accelerate its thrusters and galloped towards the target planet in the distance.

"According to the plan, the Yuanwang will depart from Qingqiu 5, then go to Qingqiu 4, use the planet's gravity as a springboard, adjust the bearing, or add some resources, and finally go to Qingqiu 3."

Staring at the star map in front of him that had been formulated by the AI, Su Sun thought in his heart: "When the time comes, just take a few more turns on the Qingqiu four orbits and see if you can find anything." ”

And now, although the young man still had some doubts about the reaction to Chixiao's sword qi in his heart, it was time to go.

"Vice Captain Kotaron, speed up your flight."

Captain Kotaron, who was accompanying him, also replied 'yes' with a transiver, and then steered the ship to turn and accelerate towards the target planet.

Because the principle of the jump engine has not yet been analyzed, Yuanwang does not have the ability to jump, but because this mission is in the planetary system, it does not need the ability to jump.

Imitation of the spiritual structure of the golden crow demon core, the nuclear fusion engine started by using stably ignited uranium, plutonium and other heavy elements as the tinder, during the test in the solar system, through a long period of acceleration, the Yuanwang reached a speed of 150 kilometers per second, or even 180 kilometers per second, with the sun as a reference.

Of course, this is a statistic that can only be reached when the vacuum continues to accelerate and is assisted by an extraordinary formation, but it also borrows from alien technologies such as the Tallinns, the Cloes, and the Lunar Spacecraft.

As it continues to accelerate, a buffer zone of weak psionic energy up to 20 kilometers thick will be supported in front of the Far Hope, like an umbrella composed of a layer of non-Newtonian fluid, which can be used as a protection zone to block most accidents.

At such a speed, flying in the planetary system is completely sufficient, and in addition to the fact that the planetary orbits are just staggering, it is not the farthest distance, so it will only take thirty-seven days at most to arrive from Qingqiu 5 to Qingqiu 3, even if you count the deceleration.

Navigation in space is boring and boring, more boring than sailing on the open seas on Earth, after all, compared to the churning waves, the dark vacuum without a trace of change is the real boring.

However, such an idea is only for non-professionals.

For the professional team of the Third Section of the Dao Discipline Bureau, the peculiarities of the Qingqiu Realm are simply exciting.

By comparing the star maps observed by the psionic radar, they calculated that the Qingqiu Realm and the Earth were not in the same universe, at least not in the same galaxy cluster, because the star maps that could be observed were completely different and could not be matched at all.

According to the situation of the Kunlun Secret Realm, the Beast God Realm, the Tianchi Realm and the Tifeng Realm, the space-time gate connecting the earth is probably not a 'wormhole' of folded space, but a genuine world bridge connecting different 'universes' and 'worlds'.

It can be said that the original model of the universe speculated on the earth has been completely destroyed and rebuilt, and the complexity has increased by more than 100 times.

"It's incredible!"

The leading scholar surnamed Xu sighed more than once that he is a professional astronomer: "It is really hard to imagine that hundreds of thousands of years ago, human beings began to colonize other worlds and build a stable cross-world central government. ”

The slightly chubby man even quipped: "In a sense, we earth humans have begun to colonize the outer universe before we began to colonize the outer universe and become a 'multiverse race'. ”

"In that case, where did the former immortals migrate? Could it be that the severance of Reiki is not a single universe, but a multiverse phenomenon of multiple universes at the same time? ”

Lin Chengde pushed his glasses suspiciously, and he muttered: "In this case, the original aura will be cut off, and the impact is likely to be unexpected." ”

Other earthlings are naturally unable to manifest it, and the immortal civilization that has developed across many worlds will eventually migrate and leave, but Su Tian has some guesses in his heart.

"Immortals, they should follow the Great Seal and go to the worlds behind the seal."

He thought worriedly: "The seal should only be for the inside, and it may not be difficult for the people on the outside to want the forbidden area." But even so, the immortals should have left traces, and it is difficult to say whether it was at that time that the Yara They, who projected their influence on the earth, creating the predecessors of organizations such as the Holy Serpent Prayer Society and the Celestial Séance. ”

"In this case, the earth side is fine, after all, there is a large array of order, and the major inheritances are very vigilant against evil demons, and there is a line of defense to block them, but other realms are the blind spots of the line of defense."

With such thoughts in mind, time passed.

Earth Time, September 21, 2017.

When Yuanwang arrived in the Qingqiu 4 orbit, the spacecraft began to slow down and trim, flying around this rocky planet with a mass about 1.2 times that of the Earth.

As the first practical spacecraft, the data of Yuanwang must be sorted out one by one as the standard for future spacecraft design, and various errors and omissions encountered along the way will also be remedied.

Qingqiu 4 is also a dead planet covered in frost, with a thin atmosphere and a few ice caps in the two polar regions.

And just as he was getting close to Qingqiu Si, Su Sun also sensed that on his body, the jade box that stored Chixiao's sword qi was vibrating.

There was no doubt that as the distance got closer, the Chixiao Sword's senses became more and more acute, and it was even like a compass in the jade box, with an arrow pointing to the north pole of the planet.

“…… Tang Yuan, scan this planet, especially the North Pole, a few more times. ”

Without saying much, Su Day, who was sitting on the captain's chair, ordered to activate the psionic radar, which is naturally not a high-performance version that can scan the Crow spacecraft dozens of light-years away, but a simple version for planets in the planetary system, which cannot penetrate the earth's crust, but can only roughly scan the surface of the star and search for psionic signals.

This kind of radar naturally does not need Su Tian to supply energy personally, the energy brought by the spacecraft is sufficient, and the control is also handed over to Tang Yuan.

"Now start scanning Qingqiu Four."

Tang Yuan didn't say much, in the exclusive cabin of the psionic radar module, he entered the state of spiritualization, directly connected to the entire scanning system, and then, with bursts of spiritual light, invisible spiritual power fluctuations swept towards the surface of the planet.

Soon, a large number of data reports appeared on the information screen of Yuanwang, and were publicly displayed to everyone by Su Day.

The results were unexpectedly shocking.

Qingqiu Si is a star that has undergone planetary environmental transformation, whether it is the extraordinary, thick ice caps comparable to life planets at the poles of the planet, the huge impact gullies crisscrossing the surface of the planet, or the huge water rift valley thousands of meters wide and hundreds of thousands of lengths, all prove that there were attempts to transform this star into a living planet.

However, the renovation was probably only a small part of the way before it was completed - the thin atmosphere on the four hills and the strange planetary surface are proof of this, and they are all regrettable traces of the stoppage of the operation.

"It's a fairy god."

Looking at the various information on this planet, Liu Wuxin's tone became serious: "At least several Earth Immortal-level 'Dragon Kings' can artificially create such a thick ice cap and create this kind of trace on the surface of the planet by extracting elements from other planets, or even directly from stars, and transforming them into water. ”

The Weiwu line has a long heritage, and its founder is even an immortal immortal, and Liu Wuxin, as a direct inheritor, naturally understands the power of the immortal god: "The atmosphere of this planet is probably also artificially created - there is at least a celestial-level thunder god who has led a team to adjust the planet's magnetic field, and this trace is too obvious." ”

"It's likely that the shutdown was caused by the decline of the aura, and these traces were at least more than 10,000 years ago."

Lin Chengde is also solemn, the inheritance of the first line of Nongsheng can be traced back to the era of the immortals, and it can even be found on the head of the first generation of Shennong's family, which is one of the greatest inheritances of the Zhengguo lineage, and the inheritance of the plural divine wood can be selected.

The complete extinction of Reiki was a thousand years ago, but the decline of Reiki was a natural phenomenon that began tens of thousands of years ago and had many ups and downs.

He carefully observed the spiritual energy detection signal transmitted by Tang Yuan, as well as the surface traces of Qingqiu Si, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, if the spiritual energy hadn't declined, I'm afraid that the current planet would have become vibrant, and it wouldn't be like now, without any traces of life." ”

"Nope."

But Su Sun said: "You see, on the other side of the North Pole, there is a little spiritual reaction. ”

His tone was so firm that not only Liu Wuxin and Lin Chengde, but even the more than twenty scientific researchers in the third section, who were recording spacecraft and planet data, also turned their eyes with interest and looked at the North Pole data of Qingqiu Si.

But soon, Lin Chengde frowned and muttered, "...... Yes...... But the reaction was too weak. ”

Su Sun was right, they had all seen some psionic signals at the Arctic ice cap—it meant that there were either transcendent veins or life in that place.

However, the signal was so weak that it was almost negligible, even if it was really life, it was probably similar to the lonely life system in the underground cave, and the few life seeds accidentally left by the immortals in the past.

"To tell you the truth, I think it's human."

Saying this, Su Sun got up in the surprised gaze of Ketalon on the side, he left the captain's seat and walked to the sealed cabin of the Yuanwang launch drone, satellite and exploration ship: "I'll go down to see the situation, if any of you are interested, come with me." ”

……

Qingqiu IV, around the Arctic ice sheet.

The little white ice fox has been wandering alone on the ice.

This little fox is only about 30 centimeters long, it looks petite and cute, and its whole body fur is silver-white, without any variegation, if there are small animal lovers who see it, they will scream excitedly, and then hold it in their arms and rub it and suck wildly.

However, compared to the completely flawless fur that could absorb a little frost aura, what was even more surprising were the two large fluffy tails on its tail.

Where a fox has only one tail, this is common sense. If there are many tails, it must be extraordinary.

In addition to lining up on the ice, this unusual little fox will raise its head from time to time and look up at the starry sky with its ice-blue eyes.

- Why do you look up at the stars?

Unbeknownst to it, this was a task sent by the elders of the clan, and every day several foxes would leave the warm crypt of the ground and come to the bitter cold surface, alternately on duty, staring at the starry sky.

Failure to do so will result in a three-day exile from the crypt by the elders who are great-great-great-grandfathers.

Great-great-great-grandfather is very strong, able to manipulate frost, move big stones out of thin air, although he is old and begins to shed his hair frequently, but there is still no fox in the clan who can beat it and become the next elder. And the fox it wants to exile, no one can protect it.

He did not eat fish or drink water for three days, not even a fox could survive, and he had seen his uncle, who was three years older than him, resist the mission, only to die after being exiled, and finally he was not saved, and died in the cave, and his body was thrown into the sacred lake as bait for fish and algae.

Since then, generations of foxes have never resisted the mission.

Wrapping his two big furry tails around him to keep warm, the little fox knew that he had been on duty for an hour and a half, and in half an hour, the next fox would come over to take over and end this difficult time.

- One star, two stars, three ......

Count the stars and pass the time, but any fox who has done the task of looking up at the stars will do it, this does not need to be taught at all, instinctively.

The starry sky is endless, and the stars are endless, anyway, according to the fox's thinking ability, it must be inexhaustible, counting about dozens of stars, the little fox yawned sleepily, and the eyes staring at the starry sky also became foggy, obviously about to fall asleep.

But soon, it was refreshed with a shudge and regained its spirits—because of the undisguised sound of action coming from behind it.

Turning his head, the little fox saw a larger one. It also has silver-white fur and ice-blue eyes, but the difference is that the other party has three tails, and when it arrives, it happily straightens up and walks towards the other party.

The second grandfather who took over arrived.

Two foxes, one large and one small, turned their backs to each other, their five tails intertwined, and subtle spiritual power intertwined, forming a simple frequency, exchanging ideas on both sides.

- Second grandfather, you came early.

- Well, you go back first, don't freeze.

The communication is very simple, after all, the fox's thinking cannot be complicated, and the little fox can't feel the love in it, but he feels that it is a happy thing to be able to go back to the crypt early, so after saying goodbye to the second grandfather, he jumped and prepared to go back.

However, at this moment, it heard a short exclamation from its second grandfather.

"Whoa?"

This is not a common thing - the atmosphere in this world is so thin that it is difficult to breathe, let alone make a sound, and even during estrus, foxes who fight for each other's breeding opportunities will not threaten each other with their calls.

What was it that surprised the second grandfather so much?

I thought so, but soon, the little fox himself discovered the anomaly.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed from the heavens—

It suddenly raised its head and looked up at the starry sky.

Then, in the dark universe, a silver-blue star was moving rapidly in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving a faint band of light across the sky.

- This, this is incredible!

Opening its small mouth, the little fox showed an extremely humane expression of astonishment, it has counted the stars so many times, and has never encountered a moving star, no wonder the second grandfather will cry out in surprise, what a rare thing!

But then, something even rarer happened. The silver-blue star that was rapidly skimming over the sky actually split into another, smaller star...... It went down in another arc, down and down, and then.

He dragged a long ribbon of flame light and fell on the ice field not far away.

And just when the little fox was immersed in this scene, its second grandfather hurried over and slapped his tail with his tail.

- Hurry up, Little Five, go back to the crypt.

- Huh? Why?

For a while, the strange and beautiful silver-blue meteor was still in his mind, and the little fox hadn't reacted to what the second grandfather's words meant, but he still instinctively followed the pace of the other party and ran in the direction of the crypt.

- Forgot? Why do we look up at the stars?

And the big fox's tone is serious, with three tails, and its heart is full of excitement when it is a little more intelligent.

couldn't help but turn his head and continue to look at the bright light marks left in the black starry sky, and the eyes of the big fox were full of anticipation.

- For thousands of years...... We've been waiting.

- Waiting for those 'moving stars'!
