Chapter 552: The Strange Ou Ming River System

Su Yu saw that the stars in that star system had indeed turned into white dwarfs as he had thought before, and were cooling down rapidly.

However, its state is extremely strange.

Su Yu could see that the state of the white dwarf was not "continuous", but was constantly "jumping".

It's like a person who is twenty years old in the last second, and in the next second without any intermediate process, jumps to twenty-one, and then jumps to twenty-two.

The white dwarf that Su Yu saw was in this state.

With the accuracy of the star tower scanning, this change can be accurately detected.

It seems that every moment, it is losing a part of "time".

This is just Su Yu's speculation. In fact, Su Yu did not observe any power of time.

What the white dwarf lost might not be time at all, but something else, but the state it displays looks like it has lost time.

"No wonder this river system is so dark, so that's why..."

If all the stars in the entire galaxy lost time and turned into dim white dwarfs, it would be no wonder that the galaxy is so dark.

Moreover, what shocked Su Yu was not the "time loss" phenomenon that occurred on this star.

But several planets in this star system.

If a star evolves into a white dwarf, it will first go through the red giant or even supernova stage.

Such drastic evolution will destroy the environment of the entire star system, and it is hard to say whether planets can be left behind.

But this white dwarf has a weird time-loss phenomenon, and may have skipped those violent stages and turned directly into a white dwarf.

So the few planets in the galaxy are still alive and well.

Those planets are also experiencing a similar phenomenon of time loss.

It takes tens of billions of years for a star to evolve into a white dwarf.

If the stars and planets were lost at the same time, then these planets have also evolved for tens of billions of years.

Therefore, there are no longer any artificial buildings on the planet.

Even though this was once a colony of the Empire, the Empire built various advanced facilities here.

But after so many years of evolution, it no longer exists.

Only a bunch of dead planets with no signs of life were left, quietly floating in orbit, slowly rotating, and even their rotation and revolution were about to stop. From time to time, they jumped a distance above the orbit, giving people a feeling of powerlessness and eerie death.

However, it is not necessarily true that there are no signs of life on these planets.

Su Yu scanned through the star tower and saw that there was life on those planets, and it was human.

But... they are all dead! They are all corpses!

There are human corpses buried in the strata of those planets. A rough estimate is that there are probably tens of billions of them.

It is unknown how long these corpses have been dead, and they have already burrowed deep into the earth due to geological changes.

Logically speaking, these corpses were all the former human inhabitants of the empire on these planets.

They encountered drastic changes and died suddenly. After death, their bodies sank into the earth's strata as the geological changes.

What’s strange is that even all of humanity’s architectural creations have disappeared with the evolution of the planet, and not even their fossils can be found.

These human corpses are still intact and even lifelike.

However, after so long of evolution, these corpses have become like fossils, and some have even become metal...

"Metalized?"

Su Yu was startled and thought of the "Ouming" metal.

This metal is the result of the corpses of the ancient alien civilization "Omin" after their death.

How similar are they to the human corpses today?
"Could it be that this is the process of the birth of this Omin metal?"

"Now it's humanity's turn to become metal?"

Su Yu made a guess in his mind.

Perhaps in the ancient times, tens of thousands of years ago, the Ou Ming civilization also encountered a similar thing, and the entire river system began to lose time.

This loss is so drastic that it can cause a star to evolve into a white dwarf in a short period of time, which is simply not something normal life can withstand.

Therefore, the lifespan of the Ou Ming people was exhausted in an instant and they were exterminated collectively.

For some reason, the corpse turned into metal and became Ominmetal, which eventually attracted the empire to come and mine.

Now, it's humans' turn.

Maybe after a period of time, when the time loss phenomenon here stops, other alien civilizations will find this place, mine the metals made from human corpses, and start the next cycle.

"Why does this place look like a trap, a breeding farm?"

Su Yu was secretly shocked and felt that this river system was really weird.

He was determined not to enter the Omin River System.

Otherwise, given the situation in this galaxy, he would probably be in trouble.

Su Yu had no confidence that he could resist this force that affected the entire river system.

If you get into it, I'm afraid you will lose a lot of time.

Even Su Yu, who has now been promoted to the fifth level and even possesses the power of the sixth level, also possesses the immortality of the evil god.

Theoretically, with Su Yu's current strength, there should be no limit to his biological lifespan.

But Su Yu had never really tried it, and he didn't know how long he could live.

He couldn't predict what would happen if he lost hundreds of millions of years in an instant and jumped directly to a state one hundred million years later.

Judging from the situation in the Ou Ming River system, it is probably not too optimistic.

When the human empire occupied the Omin River system, there must have been many strong men in charge. What happened to those strong men? Did they all die and become one of those corpses?
Thinking of this, Su Yu did not have time to observe a moment of silence for these human corpses.

After all, he is so close to the Ou Ming River System now, and any slight fluctuation of that strange power may affect him.

I can hardly protect myself, so how can I have the mood to mourn for these people who are not my relatives and have been dead for who knows how long?

He immediately wanted to start the battleship and run away.

However, Su Yu immediately rejected the idea of ​​running away.

Because he has experience.

When Su Yu was in the Blue Galaxy before, he was tricked by the Ghost Emperor and sent into dark time and space.

There, Su Yu discovered the Dream Star Core, a powerful fifth-level creation, while exploring a gas planet.

At that time, he was still far from the fifth level, so he ran away immediately.

But it turned out that running away was actually useless.

At that time, he was targeted by Qi Chen, who was behind the Dream Star Core. Unknowingly, he was triggered to go back in time, which gave rise to the Painful Evil God Su Yu, and he almost died at the hands of the Painful Evil God.

Although he later succeeded in turning the tables and even absorbed the power of the Evil God of Pain and turned it into his own power, the process involved various difficulties and dangers that could not be described to outsiders.

After learning from the last lesson, Su Yu knew that simply running away would not solve the problem in this situation.

Even if you can run away for a while, there may still be threats coming to you after a while.

So Su Yu decided not to run away first, but to explore the situation of the Ou Ming River System before leaving.

Even if there are any dangers in the future, we will be prepared.

Of course, it is also possible that Su Yu is lucky and can just run away and be fine. Exploring will only trigger the danger here, which is purely courting death. But Su Yu still wants to decide his fate by his own choices, rather than relying on luck.

"If we want to explore this galaxy, we must first determine the range of this force, and then use the star tower signal to scan outside the range to obtain information..."

Su Yu thought in his heart.

Although he wanted to explore the river system, he had no intention of actually entering it.

Instead, it scans from a long distance using star tower signals.

With such a convenient tool as the Star Tower Signal, Su Yu had enough confidence.

However, the Star Tower signal is unable to scan the strange power that causes time to be lost. It seems that even the Star Tower signal cannot do anything about this power.

Come to think of it, if the Star Tower Signal could detect this kind of power, the Human Empire would have been prepared long ago and would not have become a pile of corpses buried in the earth.

If Su Yu wants to know the scope of this strange power, he needs to find a way himself.

He first used the star tower signal to scan the cosmic vacuum around the Omin River Galaxy.

The vacuum of the universe is not truly empty, but rather contains sparse microscopic particles. There may be only one or two atoms in one cubic meter, but there are always some.

There are also phenomena such as quantum fluctuations.

If these particles and phenomena are also affected by the loss of time, then Su Yu can use this to determine the scope of this force.

however……

No!

The cosmic vacuum near the Omin River Galaxy is truly empty.

There are no microscopic particles or quantum fluctuations. It's just a complete vacuum.

Even gravity and light, which should exist, do not exist.

Even the causal environment does not exist!
Su Yu could clearly see this river system from afar, and could also sense the river system's strong gravity and the 1:1 causal environment.

But when the Star Tower scanned it, there was nothing!

The scan of the battleship star tower terminal is more accurate than Su Yu’s own sensing.

Therefore, the light Su Yu saw, the gravity he felt, and even the causal environment were all illusions.

"Is this really a trap? They released this illusion to attract other civilizations to explore?"

Su Yu thought to himself.

It seems that this river system is even stranger than imagined.

But this is actually a good thing.

A trap is inherently passive and requires the prey to step into it actively.

As long as Su Yu doesn't do anything stupid and go in on his own initiative, there shouldn't be any big problems.

I’m afraid that Su Yu will see the European star system, and even if he “steps” into the trap, he’ll be doomed.

This is very possible. After all, he had experienced what happened to Jingshen before. Just knowing about Jingshen's deeds immediately corrupted him and gave rise to the idea of ​​faith.

The same may be true for the Ou Ming River System. Once you see it, you know it has been targeted.

Su Yu even doubted whether his desire to explore this river system was really from the bottom of his heart or whether he was also influenced by it.
But once this kind of suspicion begins, there will be no end.

Moreover, Su Yu thought that he had a strong will. Even when Jing Shen had eroded him before, he was able to accurately distinguish between his own will and external will.

He didn't feel anything now, maybe Su Yu had always wanted to explore the Ou Ming River System.

Even if there is influence from external will, it doesn’t matter.

Thinking of this, Su Yu no longer had any doubts in his mind and thought about how to start the exploration.

After thinking for a moment, he began to plan.

First, he took out a large piece of unknown metal from the battleship. This metal was also a powerful material of at least level five, with excellent properties.

Then, through the mechanical equipment on the spacecraft, this piece of metal is turned into hundreds of millions of timing devices.

This battleship is huge, comparable to a small planet. It has complete facilities and even simulated mountains and rivers. It is very easy to find materials and equipment.

After completing all this, Su Yu used the spacecraft's superluminal projector to project these timing devices to the vicinity of the Ou Ming River System.

This superluminal projector utilizes curvature drive technology to directly accelerate those timers to superluminal speed. When they reach the predetermined coordinates, the curvature is modified in reverse, causing them to lose inertia and kinetic energy and come to a stop directly at that coordinate.

Since it is a space curvature drive technology, it is considered to be dragging "space". The timer itself is not under any force, so there is no need to worry that such a violent projection will cause damage to it.

This technology seems to be used to remotely deploy soldiers and mechanical equipment. It can be used directly on a warship, using the projection muzzle to treat soldiers and equipment as superluminal shells and safely launch them to locations thousands of light years away. It is quite easy to use and convenient.

After a quick try, Su Yu understood the principle and was able to use it skillfully.

Throughout the process, Su Yu did not use his own strength, but instead utilized the unknown battleship itself.

This is to implement a kind of "causal separation".

As a causal mechanic, Su Yu is very aware of the horror of cause and effect.

These devices were made by Su Yu, and their causal relationship lies with Su Yu.

However, Su Yu completed the entire process using the warship, so the source of these timing devices was first on the warship and then on Su Yu.

If the situation is not right, that strange power of lost time will come along the cause and effect connection. With such a buffer, Su Yu can immediately abandon the warship and run away.

Although this warship is precious, compared with Su Yu himself, it is naturally nothing and can be abandoned at any time.

At this time, the battleship is one thousand light years away from the Omin River System, which is a very long distance.

Under the action of the superluminal projector, those timing devices formed a line in the vacuum, extending to one light year away from the Omin River Galaxy.

Then, the changes in these timing devices are recorded through star tower scanning to determine the scope and extent of the time loss phenomenon.

This behavior is much more dangerous than simply scanning the star tower.

After all, if the matter is projected directly into the vicinity of the galaxy, it might trigger a "trap" and lead to uncontrollable consequences.

But now that things have come to this, we can only take the risk and give it a try.

Fortunately, these timing devices did not cause any changes after being projected. Or maybe they caused changes, but Su Yu could not observe them.

But at least he was fine for the time being, and there didn't seem to be any sign of time being lost.

Su Yu sighed in his heart that the starry universe outside the blue galaxy was truly extremely dangerous and full of crises at every step.

It hasn't been long since I came out, and I've encountered all these bad things one after another.

Then he began to scan the timing devices with the Star Tower.

"Range, a hundred light years? The closer the distance, the more serious the jump..."

Su Yu saw that all the timing devices within about a hundred light years away from the Ou Ming Galaxy experienced time jumps.

And because these timers have built-in time calculation functions, you can intuitively see the extent of the time jump.

One hundred light years away from the Omin Galaxy, the amplitude is the smallest, and it may not jump once a minute, and each jump only lasts about one second.

The one closest to the Milky Way is much more serious, jumping dozens of times every second, and each jump lasting from one second to one hour.

It seems that it is safe at a distance of one thousand light years.

"Wait, that's not good!..."

Su Yu suddenly saw that the time jump suddenly began to extend rapidly along the "line" formed by this series of timers.

Sure enough, this temptation alarmed something!
