Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 4, 3 Years and the Planet Kungula

A land of nothingness.

There is no life left here, nor any light. Countless lifeless planets float in the darkness, interspersed with a large amount of debris and irregular meteorite fragments.

On the edge of the void, at a certain distance, lies the other side of space.

In that region surrounded by countless spatial currents, a golden divine kingdom was radiating dazzling light, like a reef blocking the storm.

Inside the Kingdom of God.

A certain area on the east side specifically responsible for external liaison.

"Lady Kasha."

A bald figure with six arms and skin the color of jade rushed anxiously into the tower, looking at the figure standing with his hands behind his back in front of him.

Something happened...

The words that were about to be uttered were abruptly cut off.

He raised his head and looked at the realm lord standing beside him, who, like himself, controlled a vast amount of the underworld. A slight tremor ran through him; this was…

"Humans are wiping out us alien races!"

A deep, muffled voice said.

"It's not just us, the descendants of the Yanji, but also the Tianyou clan, with whom we've had many encounters before. A large number of their new generation members have been killed. Damn it, don't humans usually make their move every thousand epochs? Why did they start this time after only 500 epochs?"

The other realm lords also looked puzzled.

As they discussed the reasons for the human intervention and sighed in despair, the tall figure standing at the very center scoffed and turned to look at his subordinates.

"Humans don't need a reason to take action."

The woman with a cold and aloof expression wore conspicuous gray tooth earrings, and her bright silver pupils reflected a hint of darkness.

Just the same.

She herself was constantly restraining herself to avoid being blinded by anger and doing something irrational.

"Let's consolidate our positions!"

The immortal, whose hands were trembling, closed his eyes and sighed.

"Temporarily abandoning our fleeing members and not contacting them for now is the greatest help we can give them. But before that, we should also deliver a satisfactory report to the human race..."

"Destroy those uncontrollable life-bearing planets that have been infested with humans... Fireworks are far more moving when lit on life-bearing planets..."

……

The retaliation from various ethnic groups arrived as expected.

While humanity was working to eradicate these stubborn cancers, life-bearing planets collapsed and were destroyed for various reasons. The impact of the explosions continued to spread, and the entire Fenglan Universe Kingdom was almost stripped bare.

Destroying a life-bearing planet is always the most tragic and incomprehensible form of revenge.

Although this feedback is nothing to humanity, which possesses 1008 cosmic kingdoms, the number of life-bearing planets is limited. This permanent wound has ultimately caused the area covered by the entire human territory on the star map to shrink inward by a small distance.

And then these planets exploded.

Anonymous messages are also swirling around in the virtual universe, some true and some false, releasing a signal.

Don't come back!!!

A great calamity that occurs once every thousand epochs is coming. How far you can go from here depends entirely on you children.

Of course, Perseus and Nolan thought the same thing.

The communication devices within the World Ring self-destructed, representing the race's final message to them through the virtual universe.

Faced with this predicament, all members of the clan who receive the message must immediately infiltrate the dark universe and flee far away to prevent humans from tracking their location through the signal and ultimately sacrificing themselves in vain.

As for where to go?

Nolan instinctively looked at Perseus. "You've always been smarter than me. Given our current situation, where would be the best place for us to go?"

Perseus did not answer.

He simply continued his research on planets with intelligent records, focusing on screening resource-poor, less habitable planets with no potential for terraforming, and eventually found an extremely suitable option at the border.

"Let's go here!"

Nolan followed the gaze and saw that the planet on the screen looked extremely cramped and narrow. The information next to it also showed that although it was nominally a mid-level cosmic civilization, no one had ever been there. The life forms born there could not even break through to the first level of the apprentice level. This kind of planet was the kind of weakling in the universe, where even farming would be too difficult.

"I...we..." are we going here?

Nolan looked at him with disgust, clearly feeling that this place was even more unpleasant than the 0538 mining planet where he had lived for hundreds of years.

"Let's hide for three years."

Perseus curled his lips, a hint of coldness appearing on his face.

"I will return this great gift that humanity has given us sooner or later, but there is something I must verify before that."

"If possible, the two of us can blend into the human race, fool all detection measures, keep gnawing on their flesh and blood, grow from the bones of our enemies, and eventually grow into an unshakeable behemoth."

Deceiving humans?

Nolan turned to look at Perseus and noticed that the latter seemed to have changed. And that Yuan Condensation Crystal Core... Had he been hiding a lot from him over the past few hundred years?

However, this is a good thing!

Nolan couldn't help but smile slightly.

The stronger Perseus is, the safer they are. So, as Perseus's best brother, he only needs to follow and obey. After all, he really doesn't have a better way, does he?

……

The strange, intricately patterned flying tower is rapidly advancing through the dark universe.

Four months later, Perseus and Nolan finally arrived at the desolate star field they had planned to visit. It was littered with broken meteorites, as if countless planets had once been crushed at will.

However, on the edge of this region, a life-bearing planet with a diameter of only 9000 kilometers floats alone in the lifeless star system. Even the 'sun' that should be radiating endless light is glowing pink, as if it might go out at any moment.

This planet is called Kungula, which means "extinguished star".

In the legendary earth-shattering battle that wiped out the star field, the star in this star system was swept away by the endless storms brought about by the aftershocks, losing most of its heat, but under some special circumstances, it maintained its old balance.

Thus, Kungula Star was preserved.

Although the planet's rotation has weakened due to the star's extinction, making the gravity here as weak as living in hydrogen gas, there is no doubt that this is still a habitable planet.

A life-bearing planet with animals, plants, and humans (if they are still recognized as humans)...

Kungula is a desolate and abandoned place.

Untouched by human presence and unable to leave the planet, the primordial universe seemed to have forgotten this place. So even though the Kungula aliens knew that other life existed in the universe, they were unable to leave and could only look at the starry sky in despair, counting how much longer the stars would last before they went out.

"So this is the place?"

Nolan crossed his arms and looked down at the lives below, which were like ants. His shielding devices were always on, and he was unwilling to even show himself.

Perseus squinted, scanning the tall buildings below, and inexplicably felt that this place was not much different from Earth before its rise.

The only difference between people from the two planets is their potential!

From an external perspective, these humans have roughly the same physical qualities and similar genetic makeup as the Earthlings of the past. Using them as a blueprint to build biological cards will at least prevent puzzle pieces that are too high-level to be converted.

If the effects of the creature cards are really as he imagines, perhaps he and Nolan can, as they said before, use human blood and bones to grow stronger.
