The Last Sentinel

According to the *Encyclopedia of Humanities*, dark matter is a mysterious substance that is completely unobservable yet truly exists. Its gravity shapes the universe on a massive scale. Because it cannot be observed, its importance to celestial bodies is comparable to the importance of air and gravity to humanity. Without dark matter, Earth would have long been ejected from the solar system, and the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies would have collided. Dark matter does not react with currently observable matter, neither chemically nor physically. Einstein once theorized that less than five percent of the universe's matter is observable, while the remaining ninety-five percent is unobservable dark matter…

In contrast to the Human Alliance, which represents a "deep world" that is different from ordinary human society, the Dark Matter World is a "deep world" that truly operates at the level of physical laws.

In a deep world like the Human Alliance, ordinary people, such as masters and grandmasters, can enter as long as they have someone to guide them.

Even if someone guides you, you cannot enter the dark matter world. You must master dark matter techniques, be familiar with and utilize dark matter, and transform your body into a dark matter form in order to enter the dark matter world.

Ye Feng downloaded and digested the [Pangu Universe Dark Matter Technique] shared by the Master of Machinery. He raised his left hand, and his five fingers gently rotated. A series of hazy and chaotic silver-white dark matter ripples began to appear on his fingertips. As the rotation of his fingers accelerated, the dark matter ripples suddenly spread out and enveloped Ye Feng's body!

Ye Feng's entire body took on a form that resembled a blurred, dark matter particle. This feeling was incredibly mysterious, as if he had a billion eighty million clones.

In my mind, the Master of Machinery said: Normally, cultivating dark matter techniques requires using the body as an anchor point, establishing dark matter capture coordinates, and frantically drawing in surrounding dark matter to transform oneself into a dark matter energy form. This process is lengthy and prone to errors. However, with the intervention of the Master of this universe, I have directly turned you into a dark matter anchor point. You only need to think and wave your hand, and dark matter energy will come, allowing you to transform into an invisible dark matter form! How about that, amazing, right!

Ye Feng: Absolutely amazing, boss is awesome!

Hongmeng First Affectionately said: The laws of the dark matter world are not quite the same as the laws of the observable matter world. The ordinary observable matter world follows the laws of materialism, while the dark matter world follows the laws of idealism. This is why it is so easy for you, a mental ability user, to cultivate dark matter. The laws of mental abilities and the dark matter world are universal, both being laws of idealism.

Ye Feng: Then how do I find the seven friends who were kidnapped by Hughes?

The deepest affection in Hongmeng: When you walk in the observable universe, you rely on coordinates. When you walk in the dark matter world, you rely on gravitational waves. To put it more metaphysically, you rely on bonds and cause and effect. If you want to find someone, you only need to recall the bond and cause and effect points of that person, and you can reach them. This is the meaning of "a single thought can lead to enlightenment, and the ends of the earth are within reach".

Ye Feng: It sounds similar to the idea of ​​astral projection and wandering the world in the realm of immortals.

The First Deepest Affection of the Primordial Chaos: This is originally a scientific explanation of cultivation. All cultivation in the universe is nothing more than three major rules: chaos, materialism, and idealism. There are only these three paths to enlightenment. The three paths overlap and separate from each other, and there is no distinction between high and low. However, cultivators are divided into high and low.

Ye Feng said: "Sir, you are a man of profound affection and great learning. I admire you!"

Fifteenth Realm Martial Artist: Don't underestimate Shen Qing. He is the only one among the illiterate powerhouses of the Heart Sword Cultivator group who has a university degree. He is a rare genius who cultivates both arts and sciences. However, he is usually very lazy and will @ people when he encounters problems.

HarmonyOS's First Deepest Affection: Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!

Ye Feng recalled his memories with Brother Eighty, and the next moment a dark matter portal appeared in front of him!

Without hesitation, Ye Feng took a step forward and disappeared into the dark matter portal.

In the empty archives, only a small ball of burning grayish-white flame remained, which twisted and changed like a coordinate anchor point.

The next moment, Ye Feng was suddenly greeted by a bright and clear view, a familiar yet unfamiliar environment.

Is this Tokyo?

Yes! Tokyo!

Ye Feng stood on the rooftop of the hundred-story Empire State Building, looking down at the entire city of Tokyo, which was elegant and peaceful, without any trace of destruction except for the absence of people.

Wasn't this building crushed to pieces by the mechs during my battle with Charlie?

Weren't all twenty-three wards of Tokyo destroyed?

Ye Feng keenly observed that whether it was the Empire State Building or other buildings and vehicles on the ground, they were all covered by a layer of gray light curtain.

This is the world of dark matter.

In the dark matter world, bonds are gravitational waves, gravitational waves determine causality, and causality manifests itself.

Because the city of Tokyo still exists in the memory of Homo sapiens, it still exists at the level of dark matter.

However, what I felt was the bond with Brother Eighty, but I couldn't see him in person!

Ye Feng looked around and finally spotted a watch on the edge of the rooftop—a Rolex Submariner!

Just as Ye Feng approached the Green Ghost, the Green Ghost's watch emitted a bright green light, and a ripple of emerald green light spread out. This was the Dark Matter Portal!

A glowing green dark matter portal opened, and two figures emerged.

One was Zhuge Mengde, who was eighty years old, and the other was an elegant gentleman wearing a top hat and a tailcoat.

Upon seeing Ye Feng, Brother Eighty was filled with excitement. "Sentinel, your subordinate, Zhuge Mengde, has failed your guidance. We thought we were one step ahead, but who knew we would be beaten so badly by Hughes, and even sold to an alien base by him in the end..."

Ye Feng gave a look, indicating that he knew about their ordeal, and stared intently at the elegant gentleman in the top hat and tuxedo behind him.

Brother Eighty wiped his nose and pointed to the gentleman behind him, saying, "Sir Sentinel, let me introduce you. This is Jerry! He's a black marketeer..."

"Ahem!" The elegant gentleman interrupted Eighty Brother's words. "Mr. Zhuge, I reiterate once again, I am not a middleman. I am a Holy Terran Merchant Ronin with ideals, beliefs, and pursuits, with a righteous moral compass—my appearance is even more righteous than my moral compass. I possess a merchant certification personally passed down from the Emperor, and have received signed awards from three Supreme Lords. It can be said that I am one of the few interstellar heroes in Holy Terran who possesses both faith and justice!"

Hearing the gentleman's words, Ye Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he repeated heavily, "God, Saint, Terra! You are a Terran?"

Eighty, standing to the side, whispered, "Boss, you've been to Terra? He really is a Terran. When I met him, he talked about Terra every day, acting all high and mighty. Every time I urged him, 'Since Terra is so great, why don't you go back to Terra?' he would just shut up."

At that moment, Jerry casually offered a handshake and said calmly, "Honorable Sentinel, I heard you've become the archive administrator for the [Kunpeng]?"

Ye Feng said, "I've read the history of the Human Alliance. In that history, the biggest reason for the outbreak of the 1999 Star Wars was Holy Terra!"

"The Sabitians claim that they have discovered traces of Holy Terra on Earth and believe that we, the Homo sapiens of Earth, are the remnants of the Holy Terrans."

"In order to completely eradicate all carbon-based life forms related to Terra, the Zabitians have decided to launch an interstellar war against Earth!"

"Therefore, Earth was forced to wage a battle for survival!"

"The history of the Human Alliance is filled with our sacrifices in this war, but it doesn't record whether the Sabite aliens' pretext for war was true or false!"

"Now it seems the Sabitians weren't lying; the Terrans do indeed exist on our planet!"

At this point, Ye Feng's gaze toward Jerry turned crimson and golden, his intense hatred almost tangible, causing ripples to appear in the surrounding dark matter city.

Jerry said calmly, "Sentinel, I advise you not to get so agitated. Getting agitated will affect the dark matter environment and cause our call to end prematurely."

"I am indeed from Terra, and I am indeed an interstellar war criminal being hunted by the Sabitians."

"However, I must tell you that the Sabbitians' pretext for war is inaccurate."

"You are not of Terra blood, you are not descendants of the Emperor. You are a separate carbon-based sequence, a parallel carbon-based sequence to the Terra sequence. Genealogically speaking, we are not father and son, we are brothers, we are peers. Yet these stupid Sabitians think we are father and son, how laughable!"

Ye Feng retorted, "You're talking nonsense! I don't even know where Terra is, let alone be related to you!"

"No, no, no!" Jerry waved his hand. "My friend, don't swear. People of our status should be polite and civilized!"

"I have a point in saying that."

"I know the Human Alliance's records better than you do; what you just said is not even mentioned in the Human Alliance's records."

"Humans are not native to this planet. The trace heavy elements in our bodies come from supernova explosions, from the metamorphosis of white dwarfs into black holes, and from the heat death radiation of galaxies!"

"Humans are an alien species, while dinosaurs are native species! You are all aliens just like us, except that one came a million years ago and the other came a million years later."

"The Sabitians have a legitimate reason for waging interstellar war against you. Even if my companions and I hadn't appeared, you would still have been invaded by Sabit! It was just a matter of time!"

Ye Feng said, "Do you think I believe your nonsense?"

Jerry sighed a few times and said helplessly, "Believe it or not, I have to tell you, I do come from Holy Terra, and I am loyal to the only supreme king of Terra who has existed for 40 millennia—the Terra Emperor!"

"By order of the Emperor, I have traversed countless realms to find our brother civilization of carbon-based life: the Zhen Dan Civilization!"

"And I have fulfilled the Emperor's command and found the ancient supercontinent of China!"

"This is the planet. This planet once had a super ancient continent, the Sinian Continent! Later, the Sinian Continent collapsed and became the several floating tectonic plates we see today."

"And you are the remnants of the ancient continent of Zhen Dan, you are the people of Zhen Dan!"

"You do not belong to Terra, but you share the same origin as Terra!"
