Chapter 257: Foreign Civilization Is Approaching
In the vast universe, there were countless galaxies.
Amidst the darkness, the s.p.a.ce in a certain area suddenly distorted, emitting a deafening mechanical sound.
Then, an unknown object shaped like a huge pyramid emerged from the distorted s.p.a.ce.
This unknown object was entirely silver-grey in color. It was dozens of kilometers long, wide, and tall.
There were layers of crystals that resembled fish scales on the surface of the pyramid.
At the very top, there was a flickering blue light.
As a whole, this ma.s.sive object was clearly not a cosmic celestial body but a man-made item.
The people here were not entirely human, but they were high-level cosmic creatures like humans.
With countless galaxies in the universe, there were other life forms as well.
From what Qin Chuan knew, cultivators would often travel to various places in the universe during the era of cultivation. Some went for sightseeing, and others went in search of opportunities.
At the same time, life forms from other galaxies would also visit.
It could be said that there were frequent exchanges between different galaxies.
But… Ever since that great war, not only was there a loss of spiritual energy, the environment was also destroyed. Almost all living creatures went extinct.
In a few years’ time, the place had become a dead planet.
The life forms of other galaxies saw that this planet was deathly still and didn’t have many useful resources, so they naturally had no interest in visiting.
Later, some advanced civilizations took action and used powerful methods to exile this dead planet to the desolate zone of the universe.
Presently, this pyramid-shaped colossus that appeared was near the galaxy where Qin Chuan was located.
And this unknown object was a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
The interior of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was a world on its own. There was a complete ecosystem inside.
There were towering mountains, surging rivers, and all sorts of strange buildings.
On the plains, there was a single-horned white horse with wings and flocks of black mountain goats as strong as elephants.
Putting aside the s.p.a.cecraft, it seemed like another world.
The highest level of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was a city filled with futuristic technology.
In the center of the city stood a huge triangular building.
It was the c.o.c.kpit of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
There were all kinds of advanced equipment in the c.o.c.kpit.
In a huge holographic projection, one corner of it showed Qin Chuan’s galaxy.
The alien creature in the driver’s seat was tightly wrapped in a black uniform, including its head.
Judging from their appearance, they were similar to humans. They walked upright on their feet.
The only differences were their arms and height.
Their arms were very long. They were naturally vertical and could touch the ground.
As for their height, the person was quite short, no more than 1.4 meters.
This group of extraterrestrial creatures was extremely busy. They were running in different directions, and there was no one standing quietly.
In the driver’s seat, some of the instruments were huge, at least ten meters tall.
But they didn’t use ladders or other tools. They could defy gravity and fly by themselves.
At this moment, on the huge holographic projection, a certain corner of the holographic projection suddenly flashed with a ripple-like halo.
That halo was located in the galaxy where Qin Chuan was located.
The extraterrestrial being in charge of observing the holographic projection was startled and hurriedly called for his companions in the cabin.
Soon, his companions surrounded him.
They stared at the light, their eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly, looking very surprised.
Ooh la la la ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧~~
They danced and cheered with joy, their mouths uttering an incomprehensible alien language.
“I never thought that this desolate s.p.a.ce field would actually breed a planet with life. This is truly too inconceivable.”
“How many light-years is that planet from us?”
“About 42 light-years.”
“It’s quite close; this is really too awesome!”
“I can’t wait to take a look.”
This group of short aliens was especially excited.
But soon, they calmed down.
Ooh la la la ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧~~
They began to communicate.
One of the slightly taller aliens said, “Everyone, listen to me. We can’t be so optimistic right now.
“The civilization on this planet might have surpa.s.sed us. If we go over rashly, we will most likely be regarded as invaders, and then there will be another fierce battle.
“We must be clear. We have just escaped from the clutches of the Beast Taming Corps. The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p’s energy consumption is severe, and we only have about 20% of energy left.
“If there is a fight, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us.”
Someone quickly added, “Elder Tarot is right.
“This s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is the last hope of us Lomerians.
“As policymakers, we must be cautious before doing anything.”
His companions nodded in agreement.
The alien named Tarot Elder spoke again. “How about this!
“We can send out a reconnaissance device to check it out first.
“If this planet’s civilization is less developed than ours, we can treat this planet as our new home.”
“What if it’s more developed than ours?” someone asked.
“We’ll run if they’re more developed than us! Are we going to wait for them to beat us up?” someone interrupted.
“The energy level of this s.p.a.ce field is very average. It belongs to a desolate region of the universe. There’s a high chance that it won’t be able to breed a high-level civilization.”
The person who spoke was a woman. An electronic screen was suspended in front of her, and some data was displayed on it.
Elder Tarot nodded and said, “Elder Qina’s has a point, but we shouldn’t take unnecessary risks.
“The future of the entire Lome is in the hands of us. If we take a wrong step, we will be doomed.”
With that, the atmosphere in the cabin became exceptionally heavy.
“At the end of the day, our current predicament was all caused by the d*mned Beast Taming Corps.
“Our warriors of Lome will destroy them all one day.”
Someone clenched his fist and shouted angrily.
Elder Tarot said, “We aren’t in a rush for revenge.
“Right now, the most important thing is that we need a new home. We can’t keep wandering in s.p.a.ce.”
His companions nodded.
“Then we’ll follow Elder Tarot’s suggestions and send a reconnaissance device to check out this planet first.
“We are about 42 light-years away from this planet. If their civilization is really more developed than ours, we will have enough time to retreat.”
Not long after, a device flew out of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
The reconnaissance device was in the shape of a shuttle, about ten meters long. It looked very small compared to the huge s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p behind them.
The people of Lome came from an advanced civilization. The technology they possessed allowed them to travel freely between galaxies.
They were worried that the civilization found on this planet would surpa.s.s them or be equivalent to theirs, so they did not allow the detector to fly across s.p.a.ce and tried their best to minimize energy fluctuations.
Furthermore, their s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p had consumed too much energy and needed time to recover.
Hence, they weren’t in a hurry to explore the planet Qin Chuan was on.
Given the current speed of the device, it would take about 20 years for it to arrive.
At the same time, Qin Chuan was in the sect. Every day, he would preach to his disciples in a very orderly manner, completely unaware that there were alien creatures approaching this world.
