A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 33 The Planet's Indigenous Peoples' Unwavering Commitment to Correctness

Located on the edge of the Bogu Nebula, in a star system with K-type stars as the main sequence, there exists a solid planet with a complex ecosystem.

The planet is 0.7 times the size of Earth, making it slightly smaller than Earth, and its atmosphere is primarily composed of ammonia.

On the vast, dark green grasslands of this planet, towering pyramids of all sizes stretch as far as the eye can see.

Of these pyramids, the largest one is still under construction, only halfway completed.

On the dark green grassland, countless intelligent creatures, resembling clumps of seaweed but moving freely like animals, were shouting slogans. They were struggling to drag boulders far larger than themselves, transporting them bit by bit to the base of the giant pyramid.

Then, using ramps built of earth, they were slowly transported to the giant pyramids.

At the top of this largest giant pyramid, in an inconspicuous corner, two seaweed-like creatures were fiddling with a large wooden instrument.

The purpose of this thing is easily seen from its structure.

This is an astronomical observation device with a wooden wheeled chassis. At this moment, under the blazing sun, this astronomical observation device is pointing directly at the stars.

"How's it going, Caul? Can you see clearly?"

A creature resembling a clump of seaweed nearby asked its companion, who was using the equipment, for help.

Soon, the creature called "Kaul" got off the equipment and said to his companion, "No, my eyes are failing me. The light of Henghui is still too dazzling and is causing serious damage to my vision."

Immediately afterward, Caul asked his companion, "Buffalo, could you turn the brightness down a bit?"

The principle of astronomical telescopes is to use the light-gathering properties of the uneven surface of a crystal to concentrate more light in one place, which is beneficial for observing celestial information.

However, there is one type of celestial body that cannot be directly observed by the original version of the telescope.

That's a star. The light from a star is so bright that if an astronomical telescope were to focus that light, it would cause great damage to the observer's eyes.

Fortunately, it wasn't a human who did this so recklessly; if it were a human, the retina would definitely be ruined.

Upon hearing Tong Kaul's question, Baiflian replied, "Perhaps we could coat the lens with the juice of gall maggots, but if we did that, the observatory would certainly no longer be able to see those glittering points in the sky at night."

As he said this, Befren removed the convex lens from the observation equipment.

"The brilliance has existed since time immemorial and has never changed. We have plenty of time to re-polish the lens," Kaul said.

"But Heng Hui's transformation is something that has never happened before in the history of our clan. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us to further understand the mysteries of the world. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

Just as Caul was talking to Buffalo, an angry voice interrupted their conversation.

"Hey! What are you two doing fiddling with this junk again?"

At some point, creatures resembling seaweed clusters climbed onto the platform at the top of the pyramid.

However, the newcomer's identity seemed rather special, unlike that of Caul and Buff. He held a cold weapon that resembled a trident in his tentacles.

His words were also full of superior arrogance.

"This isn't junk, it's called an observation instrument, a device that helps us see objects further away," Caul said, dissatisfied.

"Playing games is a waste of time! You're neglecting your duties!" The seaweed creature, its tentacles gripping a trident, scolded it with displeasure.

"What's the use of seeing further? Can it conjure up food for you?"

"Farming, building, and assisting the Holy Ruler—this is the right path for us, the people of the Great Wilderness Kingdom! It's far more meaningful than you wasting your time here staring at the sky!"

Kaul and Beflin fell silent. They knew that arguing about it was pointless, and that angering the other party would not end well, as the other party was the law enforcement officer in charge of this work area.

When the law enforcement officers who were giving the lecture saw that they did not refute it, they took it as a fact that the officers recognized their mistakes.

The law enforcement officers turned and left, not forgetting to curse and warn Caul and Befren as they went.

"Construction Zone 0443 is short-handed, you guys hurry up! If I see this thing again when I come back later, I'm smashing it!"

Watching the law enforcement officers walk away, Kaul reluctantly got off the wooden observation equipment.

"...Let's go, I don't want to be punished."

"I don't understand why they have to build these palaces. No matter how many they build, we can't live in them," Bai Fulian complained resentfully as he disassembled and reassembled the wooden observation equipment.

……

Beyond the home planet of Kaul and Buff, in the orbit of that K-type star, there are a large number of planetary creatures.

These new generation of Level 12 psionic planetary beings are extracting stellar matter.

A massive column of fire, composed of stellar matter, rises from the planet's surface, resembling towering, dazzling trees, together forming a vast, luminous jungle. If Earth were located within it, it would be like an insect in a dense forest.

The extracted stellar matter, guided by psionic energy and under the influence of gravity, coalesces to form a plasma planet. Then, through the time acceleration effect caused by spacetime expansion, the temperature of the plasma planet rapidly decreases, followed by large swarms of bees landing on the planet and hatching into planetary life.

Once hatched, the planetary creatures will immediately join the ranks of those producing their own kind.

The Beflint and Caul on the planet, due to their outdated observation equipment, could not see any planetary life, but the enormous pillars of fire that rose up were an unusual phenomenon that they could observe.

"No mistake, many long things have grown on Henghui," Caul said decisively.

"What could those be? Are they alive?" Berflin asked.

They had noticed the anomalies on the stars for some time, initially thinking it was a problem with the equipment, but now the existence of the anomalies was confirmed. They were curious about the cause of all these changes.

Kaul said, "I don't know, but it's a fact that the brightness of the Eternal Glow is decreasing. If our Eternal-centric theory is correct, this change in the Eternal Glow, as the source of light and heat, could very well mean that winter is coming."

"We need to prepare as soon as possible. Once the sky brightens, we will set off to meet the Holy King," Kaul said earnestly.

Berflin paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "What about the construction zone? Our unauthorized departure is a serious crime."

Kaur fell silent, and after a moment of internal struggle, replied, "...Let whoever wants to build the Sage's Palace build it. If winter comes, who knows if the Great Wilderness Kingdom will still exist."

……

The Great Wilderness Kingdom is located near the equator and has the most magnificent pyramid in the country, apart from the one currently under construction. However, according to the people of the Great Wilderness Kingdom, these pyramids are collectively called the "Palace of Sages".

Walking in the sky garden of the Sage's Palace, the Holy King of the Great Wilderness Kingdom tightened his clothes and sighed.

"The weather has turned cooler recently."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, the Earth Mother's pulse is normal. Before long, the celestial signs will improve," the Great Wilderness Kingdom person beside him replied sincerely.

"Celestial Affairs Bureau, lately I've had a vague sense of unease. Have I done something that violates the conduct of a sage?" the Holy Emperor couldn't help but ask.

The celestial official beside him replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are overthinking this. You are the most outstanding sage ruler in history. It is because of your diligent governance and active coordination of the division of labor that there are so many magnificent palaces and so much fertile land on the vast Mother Earth today."

"Your achievements far surpass those of past sage rulers, making you the undisputed ruler of your time! With such accomplishments, how could Mother Earth not bless you?"

"That's true."

Upon hearing the praise from the Celestial Affairs Bureau, the faint unease in the Holy Emperor's heart dissipated.

This was not arrogance on his part. He was certain that he was the most wise and virtuous ruler in the history of the Great Wilderness Kingdom. Under his diligent governance, the people of the Great Wilderness Kingdom no longer suffered from large-scale famine, and grain production increased by more than fourteen times compared to before!

It was precisely because of these great achievements that he ordered the people of the Great Wilderness Kingdom to build numerous palaces dedicated to sages, so that future generations of the Great Wilderness Kingdom could continue to admire the great achievements of civilization he created during this period!

Such a great achievement is so great that even Mother Earth would protect him!
