Chapter 2948: The Origin of the Starry Sky World!
Chong Feiyu was about to go insane from holding it in. She'd been holding it in ever since Xun Zu launched his sneak attack. If she didn't speak soon, she felt like she'd just explode from suffocation!
And clearly, Li Bing had already gotten the news from Chong Feiyu!
Jiangnan asked curiously:
(๑•̌～•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "What kind of news could get you this excited?"
Chong Feiyu said impatiently:
(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "It'll absolutely shatter your worldview! Do you remember back when I first became a human? You were with me in the Milky Way Star Domain looking for a galaxy to settle down in?"
"We found a golden planet in the Milky Way Star Domain, and I sent some pioneer bugs to investigate. But not long after that team of bugs went up, the golden planet disappeared?"
Jiangnan paused, thought back a little, and then remembered.
"The one that looked like it was made of gold? I remember! What happened to it? Was it really made of gold?"
Chong Feiyu nearly spat blood. Do you have to be so specific about what you remember?!
"No! That golden planet that disappeared came back! It was gone for exactly three years, three months, and three days!"
At that, Black God couldn't stay seated. He stood up abruptly, eyes blazing with intense light.
(◕✧∇✧) "It came back? Was my guess correct? What did your bugs experience during that time it vanished?"
"And where did the golden planet disappear to?"
Chong Feiyu's face was full of smug pride:
(*˘ꇴ˘) "That's exactly what I wanted to talk about!"
"That golden planet, along with my bugs, crossed over into another starry sky world! It didn't exist in our starry sky at all!"
"I suspect that starry sky worlds like ours are not unique. There are multiple, maybe even countless starry sky worlds. Of course... that's just my guess, but facts show there are at least two!"
As soon as this news came out, all the Star Devourer experts in the room slammed their chins on the table again.
∑(°口°๑) Huh?
Th-there's more than one starry sky world?
What's going on?
The world isn't unique?
Th-this...
Black God's eyes were shining:
(●⁰̷̴͈꒨⁰̷̴͈) "Exactly! Exactly! My guess was right!"
Jiangnan was also dazed: Σ(°△°|||) "What? Are you sure? Maybe the golden planet didn't travel to another world, but to the future or the past of our own starry sky?"
"Because it's not in the same era as us, everything is completely unfamiliar, so you thought it was another starry sky world?"
There's more than one starry sky world? If that's confirmed, it's absolutely world-shattering news for Jiangnan and the others!
Chong Feiyu nodded vigorously:
(｡･ˇ◠ˇ･) "I'm absolutely sure! After the pioneer bugs crossed over into another starry sky world, they couldn't sense my pheromones at all, nor any other insect race pheromones!"
"Don't underestimate the insect race—they originated from the Great Pioneering Era and have existed through almost the entire history of the starry sky. Yet they sensed no pheromones at all!"
"That means that starry sky world has no insect race at all! Also, by observing white dwarfs and red dwarfs, they determined the lifespan of stars there. That world's evolutionary history must be over twenty billion years!"
"Moreover, the bugs felt a strong sense of discomfort and rejection, as if they didn't belong there. So I'm sure—that is absolutely not our starry sky world, but a completely different, unfamiliar one!"
At this moment, no one could stay calm anymore. They were all frantically digesting the information Chong Feiyu had provided!
Jiangnan was also completely dumbfounded:
=͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) "The starry sky world isn't unique, but there are multiple? Sigh~ Are you serious? Big Brother Black God? Is something like that even possible?"
Black God said excitedly: (͡°ꇴ͡°)✧ "Possible! Why wouldn't it be? Chong Feiyu's discovery has already verified my hypothesis! I've told you before, I've discovered inexplicably vanishing planets more than once!"
"Most of them left and never came back, so I suspected there wasn't just one starry sky world. Chong Feiyu, if I'm not mistaken, the gravitational center of that golden planet is in that other starry sky world, right?"
Chong Feiyu nodded: "Exactly! The golden planet orbits a neutron star!"
"Part of its orbit is in our starry sky world, but the majority resides in the other starry sky world!"
"The planet's orbit actually connects the two worlds!"
Jiangnan was even more confused: "(º△º*) "H-how can something like this happen?"
Black God said excitedly: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "This brings me to the origin of the starry sky world. Ever since I learned about the existence of the Realm Source Forbidden Sea, I've been speculating!"
"The starry sky world we exist in is a primordial world—not created by anyone, but formed naturally!"
"You said that in the Realm Source Forbidden Sea, all the realm source energy surges and collides, with spatial inflation happening all the time, right?"
Jiangnan nodded: "Indeed! No one can survive in that terrifying sea!"
Black God asserted: "And I suspect that, amidst that endless spatial inflation in the Realm Source Forbidden Sea, a singularity happened to collide by pure chance, then exploded, giving birth to the so-called primordial starry sky world!"
"The five-dimensional Realm Source Forbidden Sea is the true origin of the world! And that's why the starry sky world has dimensions beyond the fifth!"
"Such coincidences definitely didn't happen just once. Every coincidence in the Realm Source Forbidden Sea creates a new starry sky world, born and evolving every moment!"
"That place... is the source of everything!"
Jiangnan was utterly stunned, goosebumps covering his body. So this is the true origin of the starry sky world?
So much realm source energy forming an ocean, endless spatial inflation creating countless singularities, spawning starry sky worlds...
The more Black God talked, the more excited he got:
(͡°ꇴ͡°) "If you can't understand it, think of the Realm Source Forbidden Sea as a pot of boiling water. Each bubble that rises from the boiling is a world!"
"And the process from a bubble forming to floating to the surface and popping is the journey of a starry sky world from birth to destruction, returning to the forbidden sea in an endless cycle!"
"Want to know why you're so awesome? Because you... have transcended the starry sky world itself, reached that Realm Source Forbidden Sea, the origin of everything, and can even absorb realm source energy for your own use!"
At this moment, while their worldviews were shattered, everyone turned to Jiangnan as if looking at a god!
Able to rush from a bubble into the pot itself—how could he not be awesome?!
Jiangnan swallowed his saliva:
(•́﹏•̀٥) "Then what about the golden planet that connects two starry sky worlds?"
Black God grinned widely: "Isn't it simple? Since starry sky worlds are bubbles in the pot, sometimes two bubbles get very close!"
"Then, under extremely coincidental circumstances, a planet that can traverse both starry sky worlds is born—a special planet shared by both worlds!"
"That golden planet is probably a rare cross-world planet. Its orbit runs through both starry sky worlds, creating this amazing phenomenon!"
"I was just guessing before. I never thought it would be real. This is all so wonderful!"
Chong Feiyu nodded repeatedly:
(∗❛ัꇴ❛ั∗) "Right, right! But that's not the most important part!"
"The most important part is that the golden planet disappeared from our side for three years, three months, and three days. But my bugs, in the other starry sky world, spent a full 333 years before returning with the golden planet!"
"The time flow in that other world is a hundred times faster than ours!"
Jiangnan was shocked again:
∑(°口°๑) "What?! Th-this... Huh?"
Black God spread his hands: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "What's so strange about that? Two completely different starry sky worlds having different time flows is perfectly normal, isn't it?"
"And we ran into an accelerated world. This is a good find, isn't it?"
Jiangnan swallowed: "Have you investigated that world? What's it like? Are there any powerful experts? Races or civilizations? Could they invade us through this means and grab resources?"
At this, all the Star Devourer experts turned pale. Not good, right?
Things are already hard enough here. Running into something like this would be even more troublesome!
Black God rolled his eyes:
(꒪ั一꒪ั◕) "Give it a rest! Invade my ass? You've got quite the imagination! Have you forgotten? From the moment a starry sky world is born, its total energy and total matter are fixed. No matter how it evolves, it stays the same!"
"Whether it increases or decreases, it breaks the original balance, causing extremely serious consequences, maybe even collapse! As vast as a starry sky world is, it's also fragile from a certain perspective!"
"Like your world bubble being absorbed by the starry sky world, Xun Zu creating the Eternal World, Wanxiang's sneaky business—cutting off a region for himself—or the thermal core that the Progenitor Machine used. Those don't count!"
"Because no matter what you do, you're still operating within your own starry sky world. You're natives born in this starry sky world. Moving from a shit hole to a piss hole, you're still at home!"
"If you try messing around in another starry sky world, the original balance between worlds cannot be broken! So forget about mutual invasion, unless you want to destroy your own home. Better behave!"
Jiangnan suddenly understood: "Good heavens? So that's how it is?"
Black God rested his chin: (͡°ก͡°) "But I'm just guessing. I don't know if the Cosmos Realm is an exception. After all, at that level, they already count as an independent world. I'm not sure if they can break this rule. These are all unknowns that need to be explored!"
"Chong Feiyu, what was the situation over there with your bugs?"
Chong Feiyu quickly said: "I think Black God is right. After arriving in that starry sky world, my bugs did try to explore the situation there!"
"But they couldn't get too far from the golden planet. The farther they went, the stronger the repulsive force, as if they were being crushed!"
"So they could only scout the immediate surroundings before retreating to the golden planet, turning into eggs to hibernate. They couldn't explore deeply!"
Black God spread his hands: "See? Because the bugs didn't belong to that starry sky world, they were repelled! I've said before that every living being has realm force within them!"
"That realm force is like an ID card, proving you're a native born in this starry sky. If you go to someone else's house, of course you'll be repelled!"
"The stronger you are, the greater the repulsion. The reason they could stay on the golden planet is because it's a special cross-world planet, a shared area!"
"So invasion is impossible. And even if a Cosmos Realm expert could ignore the barriers between starry sky worlds, if you ever reach Cosmos Realm, not invading other starry sky worlds to steal money would be them burning incense and praying to the heavens, right?"
Jiangnan: (๑¥₃¥๑)
"I... I'm not that bad... Slurp~"
Chong Feiyu added: "But the bugs' exploration wasn't completely fruitless. There is civilization in that starry sky world too!"
At this, everyone's eyes lit up!
