Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 314: A Super Weapon That Can Destroy the Entire Galaxy

Since Su Xing disappeared without a reason, Xie Shen and others suddenly lost the desire to continue exploring.

So everyone drove the Galaxy-class starship back to the Black Worm Star and docked the starship at a port in low-Earth orbit.

As for the flesh lumps mutated by Hardy and others, they were all sent to the laboratory where Li Xiu was.

Besides.

In order to find out what happened on the planet Zebulon where the agent was, and how Su Xing lost contact for no reason, Li Xiu specially sent a stellar-class starship to explore the center of the Milky Way.

——In order to prevent the starship from following Su Xing's fate and losing contact without reason, Li Xiu also specifically instructed the starship's pilot to only use the starry sky telescope on the starship to observe the planet Zebulon and its galaxy from a distance, and not to get too close.

In this way, time passes.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed.

...

By April 6461 AD, after more than a hundred years of erosion, the ten-thousand-year catastrophe finally spread to the outside of the Black Worm Galaxy as expected.

This is the end.

All areas within the galaxy, including the edge areas, have fallen into the hands of unspeakable creatures.

...

Black Worm Star, inside the central laboratory.

Seeing that Xie Shen and other monks had arrived, Li Xiu tapped his fingers lightly.

He used the 3D projection equipment on the public terminal to create a thumbnail image of the Milky Way starry sky in front of everyone.

Li Xiu pointed at the Black Bug Galaxy on the star map.

"Because the Black Worm Galaxy we are currently in has a vulnerability similar to a BUG."

"Plus, the indescribable creatures naturally feel disgusted with such galaxies and instinctively refuse to invade them."

"So, even if the great catastrophe of ten thousand years has arrived and has even spread to the area where our Black Worm Galaxy is located, we will still be safe and sound."

When he heard this, Xie Shen already understood what Li Xiu wanted to express.

He followed Li Xiu's words.

"Logically speaking, the Agent Forces will not let go of a galaxy like ours that has loopholes easily."

"They will perform a sacrificial ritual to actively summon non-living things to the galaxy with the vulnerability characteristics."

"Just like the Aldebaran galaxy where we were before."

"The Aldebaran star system was lost because the agent performed a sacrifice ceremony."

"The same applies."

Xie Shen continued.

"When the great catastrophe of ten thousand years spreads to the Black Bug Galaxy, the agents should also rush over and perform the sacrificial ceremony again."

"But the fact is, it has been almost three months, and there is still no movement from the agent."

"From this, it can be seen that Hardy Blement and others who have mutated into meat balls should really not have lied to us."

Xie Shen finally concluded: "There is a high probability that something really happened on the planet Zebulon where the Agent's headquarters is located."

"Good analysis." In the laboratory, Li Xiujing waited for Xie Shen to finish speaking before continuing, "Everyone, after more than a month of research, our laboratory staff have observed very interesting phenomena in the bodies of Hardy and others who have mutated into meat balls."

As he spoke, Li Xiu suddenly winked at Xue Guoer, his assistant who was following him.

The latter understood his meaning and hurriedly took out an agent who had mutated into a mass of meat from a petri dish not far away.

Followed by.

In front of Xie Shen and others, Li Xiu held a light-guided electromagnetic scalpel and directly split the meat ball into two halves with one cut.

After the meat ball was split into two, a pitch-black ball of light rolled out from the inside of the meat ball.

I don’t know what material this black ball of light is made of.

As soon as it was exposed to the outside world, it immediately began to twist and wriggle at an extremely high frequency. In this way, in just a short while, the area less than one square meter in size where the black light ball was located had completely turned into a large mosaic due to the twisting and wriggling of the light ball.

“This mosaic is”

Seeing this, Xie Shen was surprised and asked, "Doesn't this kind of mosaic only appear on electronic display screens?"

"Why can this black ball of light create a mosaic in the real world?"

"Could it be that the world we are currently in is completely fake? Is it just a server set up by a higher-dimensional life form?"

After hearing what Xie Shen said, Li Xiu imitated a normal human being and deliberately showed a speechless expression.

Although his tone was extremely calm when he spoke, Xie Shen could clearly hear a hint of contempt in it.

He said.

"It is very possible that high-dimensional life forms do exist, but if you say that the world we live in is just a server set up by them, then it is a bit too worrying."

"There's too much to say."

"The amount of computing required to simulate an entire galaxy is beyond the reach of an advanced civilization."

"Not to mention, there is an even more vast universe outside the Milky Way."

"Maybe not." This time it was Dunbin who continued to argue: "What if a higher-dimensional life form in the universe we are currently in is created, and its science and technology are super awesome and advanced?"

"I remember you once said to me in a casual chat that technology and cultivation will never have an end."

"So why can't such a civilization exist?"

"Heh" Li Xiu sneered rarely.

And this time, his imitation of the sneer of a normal person was quite vivid.

It can be said to be extremely sarcastic.

Li Xiu looked down on Deng Bin and said, "You are just imagining that the emperor is plowing the land with a golden hoe."

“Just ask.”

"If the technological level of higher-dimensional life forms is really enough to build a server that can simulate the entire universe."

"Is it necessary for such a civilization to keep us humans in captivity, and is it necessary to use indescribable creatures to exploit our emotional power?"

"They all have such powerful technology. Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to use technology to directly produce emotional power, or in other words, to directly produce black mist?"

this.
Deng Bin was still unconvinced and said, "What if those high-dimensional life forms have evil tastes and just think it's fun to keep us humans in captivity?"

"You're being a bit too argumentative." Li Xiu shook his head, obviously unwilling to continue arguing with Deng Bin.

He got back to the point and said, "In addition to discovering this black light ball in the bodies of the agents who have mutated into flesh masses."

"We also discovered this energy in the form of a black ball of light on the Agent's main base, the planet Zebulon."

"Everyone, please take a look."

As he spoke, Li Xiu continued to operate on the laboratory's public terminal.

Accompanied by its movements.

The miniature image of the Milky Way generated by the 3D projector showed the area where the agent was located being continuously magnified.

At last.

Then a huge black ball of light as big as a planet appeared in front of Xie Shen and others.

Affected by this supergiant star's black ball of light.

The cosmic starry sky surrounding the light ball is filled with large pieces of mosaics, which makes people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"This oversized black ball of light"

Seeing the scene before him, Xie Shen couldn't help but guess: "Could this be the Zebulun Planet where the original headquarters of the Agents was located?"

"You guessed it right." Li Xiu nodded and continued, "Although I don't know how the agents summoned that huge black ball of light."

“But after researching it I found out.”

"Whether it's the huge black ball of light or the smaller black ball of light found in the bodies of the mutant flesh masses." "They all, without exception, have the ability to devour the power of origin."

"Because the power of origin is the most basic force that constitutes all things in the universe."

“So, only where there is a black ball of light will a mosaic-like phenomenon appear.”

Li Xiu concluded with one sentence: "That was formed after a certain area was drained of its original power."

Are those mosaics that exist around the black light ball caused by the lack of original power?

In the laboratory.

After hearing what Li Xiu said, Xie Shen hurriedly waved his hand and transferred a stream of original power into the mosaic generated by the black light ball.

in this way.

After being injected with Xie Shen's original power, the area less than one square meter in size that was corroded by the black light ball was completely restored to its original state in an instant.

However, Xie Shen's move did not solve the fundamental problem.

——Since the black light ball still existed, it took only a short while for the area less than one square meter in size to be corroded by the black light ball again and lost all its original power. Finally, it once again became a mosaic in the eyes of Xie Shen and others.

"Good guy!"

Deng Bin, who was standing by, was surprised when he saw it and said, "Isn't this black ball of light equivalent to a black hole without strong gravity?"

"The only difference is."

"What a black hole absorbs is all the matter that exists in reality."

"And what the black ball of light absorbed is the fundamental force that constitutes everything."

As he spoke, Deng Bin suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

"I just do not understand."

"Why did the agents have to summon this thing for no reason?"

"Could it be that they wanted to introduce this black light ball into the Black Worm Galaxy where we are, and then eliminate all of us without any effort? But in the end, they accidentally messed up, causing the entire planet they were on, along with everyone on the planet, to be destroyed?"

In the laboratory.

Li Xiu did not rush to answer the questions raised by Deng Bin, but just explained to everyone present, including Deng Bin.

"The destructive power of this black ball of light is actually much greater than you think."

"If we leave it alone, we will lose the Black Worm Galaxy we are in,"

"I'm afraid that the entire Milky Way will be swallowed up bit by bit by this black ball of light."

"Ah?" Deng Bin was startled when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Xiu did not explain much, but just turned his head towards Xie Shen who was cultivating the original power.

He directed to Xie Shen, "Try to continue injecting more origin power into the mosaic created by the black light ball."

"Row."

After Xie Shen responded, he quickly injected more original power into the mosaic as instructed.

next second.

Not surprisingly, after receiving a large amount of replenishment of original power, the area where the mosaic appeared quickly returned to its original state.

But just like before:
Since the black light ball still existed, it only took a short while for the area that had been restored to its original state to once again become a mosaic in the eyes of Xie Shen and others under the erosion of the black light ball.

It's all in vain.

Xie Shen was puzzled when he saw this: "It seems meaningless for me to inject the original power into it like this, right? After all, no matter how much original power I inject, it will eventually be absorbed by the black light ball, right?"

"Don't be impatient." Li Xiu stared at the black ball of light, his eyes fixed on it, and said, "If you continue to inject more origin power into it, you will understand what I mean."

Fine.

Xie Shen nodded upon hearing this and repeated the action again.

This was repeated about four or five times.

Perhaps it has absorbed enough original power.

Under the gaze of Xie Shen and others, the volume of the black light ball began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than half a minute, the black ball of light had grown to more than twice its original size.

and.

As the volume increased, the area of ​​the mosaic area in the laboratory that was eroded by the black light ball also began to increase.

——The mosaic area suddenly increased from less than one square meter to a full two square meters.

"broken."

Xie Shen saw the seriousness of the problem at a glance.

He frowned and said, "If this black ball of light can continuously absorb the original power of the universe and increase its size."

"Then it won't be long before the black ball of light, which is growing exponentially, will occupy our entire galaxy with an unstoppable trend."

"Even the entire universe!"

"wrong."

As he spoke, Xie Shen suddenly changed his words and said, "Because the vacuum zone outside the Milky Way is a void without any original power."

"So after the black ball of light occupies the Milky Way, it will stop growing because it cannot obtain more original power."

"Please put it more simply."

"That is, the black ball of light can only occupy the entire Milky Way, and cannot affect areas outside the Milky Way."

Xie Shen finally thought about it and said in horror.

"This black ball of light was thrown by a certain force specifically to target our galaxy!"

"Could it be that this is a weapon invented by a higher-dimensional life form?"

"Very likely!" Seeing that Xie Shen understood immediately, Li Xiu first looked at him with great satisfaction.

And then he analyzed it out loud.

"I suspect that the reason why the higher-dimensional life forms did this is because they want to exterminate us all."

"It is very likely that they have already noticed that there are cultivators in the Return to Void stage among us humans, and that some humans have mastered the power of origin."

"This power is taboo in their eyes."

"In their view, humans who have mastered the power of origin are enough to pose a threat to them."

"That's why they gave up on exploiting us and enslaving us with unspeakable creatures, and instead used black light ball weapons to destroy all of us."

"Of course."

Li Xiu always speaks very carefully.

He went on to add: "All of the above is just my personal speculation."

"It is also possible that the black ball of light appeared because the agent force angered the higher-dimensional life forms."

"Or maybe, this black ball of light was created by the Agent Force through some kind of experiment in private."

"It has nothing to do with higher-dimensional life forms."

Li Xiu finally said to everyone.

"In short, it doesn't matter what the reason for the appearance of the black light ball is."

"The important thing is that we must find a way to get rid of these black light balls as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, the black ball of light, which is growing exponentially, will devour the entire galaxy in an instant."

"By then, we will all be dead."
