Super God: Guardians of the Galaxy, another year of competing in the galaxy

Chapter 96 A Strange Replica of Earth Appears
The central region of the M81 star system, and the star systems nearby should have long been reduced to ruins by the Federation's interstellar strike weapons.

But there was this desolate planet that suddenly appeared in a certain star system.

Upon learning of the situation, a group of Federation main warships was urgently dispatched as a precaution.

Subsequently, a dispatch team was teleported to the planet.

The internal environment of this desolate planet is extremely harsh; for intelligent life, it is a deep abyss.

But the highly skilled Federation soldiers paid no heed to any of that; upon entering the planet, they immediately began their reconnaissance mission.

Eventually, they discovered a lost temple in a remote highland area on the planet.

"Hiss-"

"This is Squad 0-489645. Our real-time communication channel with the Strategic Command Center is correctly calibrated. We will report the situation here immediately..."

Youlang is a 69th-ring psionicist, and as the team leader, she is currently exploring this desolate planet with her four teammates.

Standing atop the plateau, the members of the "Zero-489645" team looked down at the ancient temple in front of them.

Due to the special nature of this mission, the team members, in addition to being psionic warriors, also possess multiple identities such as archaeologists, technical explorers, physics experts, and spacetime theorists.

"According to planetary geographic data monitoring, this temple should have been buried underground for hundreds of years, but not long ago, an earthquake occurred on this planet, causing the temple to see the light of day again..."

A virtual information panel appeared in front of one of the team members, and he reported his findings to his teammates through a psychic channel maintained by psychic energy.

Only soldiers belonging to the Federation can see the content displayed on this information panel through retinal recognition.

Another team member also made a discovery and reported it:

"Dating techniques indicate that it is a product of pre-industrial civilization, and was carved by hand using volcanic rock."

The team members entered the ancient temple one after another. The interior space of the temple was very large, like an underground palace.

The palace's structure is very familiar, just like...

Ancient architectural styles used by some of humanity's ancestors in building structures in ancient Earth civilizations, as recorded in human history.

Inside the temple, a circular pattern appears repeatedly on various walls and on a radiating altar.

These discoveries were meticulously recorded by the dispatch team.

"Wait, a major discovery!"

Youlang turned his head and found a teammate looking nervous. His words were heard on a mental channel isolated from reality:

"The various geographical features and continental structure of this planet are very similar to those of Earth!"

"No, it's not just the geographical appearance and continental structure; the planet's equatorial diameter is also a perfect 1:1 replica of Earth's!"

"This planet is like a replica of Earth!"

When Youlang and the other team members received this information, they were simply astonished.

A replica of Earth?

Earth in this universe has long been under the control of the Federation. Currently, Earth has been transformed into the paradise-like planet Gaia, and has become the sacred site of the origin of the human race officially designated by the Federation's laws.

Countless federal citizens make a pilgrimage to Earth every year.

The fact that a replica of Earth had appeared here astonished the Federation soldiers present. This was a mind-blowing and impossible event.

If this is a replica of Earth, then where did it come from?
Why is it here?
Suddenly, Youlang also made a discovery: she found many characters written on the walls of the temple.

The form of these characters is also extremely similar to the pronunciation of the native language currently used by the Federation of Humans.

It was like a certain stage of script before it evolved into the current federal script. After informing the team members of this discovery, Youlang immediately accessed the database information to filter it and found the corresponding evolution data of the script.

In the database, this script is referred to as "Oracle Bone Script"!
This is even more unbelievable; it undoubtedly proves that this planet is a replica of Earth.

Of course, the "oracle bone script" on the wall is not the "oracle bone script" that appeared in human history, but a variant similar to it.

At the same time, this discovery has also raised even greater questions.

"Could it be that before us, there was another group of ancient human pioneers who came here and built this temple?"

"It's incredible!"

"Dating technology cannot be wrong. This temple is only a few hundred years old. If there really was a group of early humans who built this temple, they lived only a few hundred years ago..."

“Tracing back through the history of the Federation, hundreds of years ago, our federal government hadn’t even arrived in this universe yet!”

"It seems to be another incident related to a time paradox."

In the team, a taciturn member suddenly spoke up, reporting her discovery:
"An even more amazing discovery has come."

"This temple was built because of an earthquake. According to dating technology, the time of this earthquake coincides with the time of the third event horizon signal that appeared near the black hole in the M81 galaxy, as previously provided by the research department..."

"Not even a nanosecond of error!"

"And in the Federation's star map system's monitoring data of the M81 system, this planet didn't even appear at that point in time!"

Upon hearing this, every member of the dispatch team, including their captain You Lang, felt a chill run down their spines.

This discovery indicates that their squad was in a very dangerous situation.

They are highly likely to disappear from this universe inexplicably, just like the sub-individual clones of Graywind and Hydra in the previous three Horizon Signal events.

But they didn't take it to heart. Their only worry was that if they were to sacrifice themselves, they might not be able to complete the mission assigned by the Federation.

If someone fails to complete a mission assigned by the federal government and is killed in the process, the federal armed forces will record their sacrifice as a symbol of heroism in their information files.

But in their personal military careers, this was a disgrace.

Even so, they continued the mission without hesitation, but with a newfound caution.

The team members conducted a relatively detailed study and understanding of this underground temple, and only a few questions remain unanswered.

The temple roof has a halo that allows light to shine onto the ground, directly onto the radiating altar, which appears to be a sundial structure.

However, due to the damage caused by the earthquake, the structure was so badly damaged that the team members dared not draw any conclusions.

The builders at the time may have intended to use this structure to highlight a particular important date.

Of course, this is just speculation, and the specifics are unverifiable.
