Chapter 326 - Star Beast (4)
Su Yun decided to engrave these runes into her mind, whether it was for her future research or to the Asgard. It was as though these stone monuments were concealing a secret. That secret, Zero's intuition told him, must be related to the planet where humans lived.
Perhaps this was a message from the previous civilization, or perhaps it was left behind by a guest from outer space. Who knows.
With his current ability to process data in his brain, imprinting all the symbols on the thirteen stone tablets only required a small portion of his brain's information storage space. It did not occur to Zero to remember the details, but to consider how long the time limit should be set for storing the information. After some thought, he set a time.
100 years.
This was a relatively plentiful period of time, and even if he was unable to unravel the secrets of the written word after a hundred years, he could still use these things to transfer them from his brain to his brain for future generations to study.
After setting the time limit, he concentrated on looking at the stone tablet in front of him. When the first symbol took shape in his mind, something strange happened. The symbols released a great deal of information. After the information was gathered and processed by the zero brain, it became countless images again.
How was the universe formed?
In the old days, this was an unsolvable proposition. Most scientists believe that the universe was formed by a big bang. At the beginning of the universe, in the first 300 thousand years after the birth of time and space, the universe was opaque. As protons and electrons combine to form atoms, radiation can pass through freely, thus forming an observable universe.
And before the Big Bang?
The assumption has been made that all matter and energy in the universe is concentrated in a fairly dense sphere, which is very hot and which explodes into the universe, so where does this sphere come from? How did it form?
As a result, the problem had returned to its original point. There was no way for humans to explain the origin of the universe. It was like having a chicken first, then an egg, or an egg first, then a chicken.
Until 1920, when quantum science came into existence. Scientists began to study the formation of the universe through quantum science. In 1980, an American physicist named Alain Gus used quantum science to make a series of arguments on the formation of the universe, and finally came up with a theory.
The universe is not how it is formed, but it always exists. The beginning and the end of the universe are eternal.
This theory was later known as the Gus' Theory. However, its research, verification and supplementation continued to be carried out unceasingly. Until the arrival of the new era, the earth had undergone a tremendous change.
But now, what Zero saw was the origin of the universe, or the pre-universe era.
The so-called pre-universe era was both before the universe that humans knew of. The universe is eternal, but at the same time it is constantly changing. The previous era happened in an unfathomable amount of time, and this era had yet to see the signs of an end. The next era, on the other hand, was very far away. It was so far away that it exceeded all human thoughts, as if it would never come.
In the pre-universe era, the universe wasn't like this. It was a resplendent sea of light, and it was as if energy and matter had been gathered together by invisible hands. At this moment, the universe was narrow and narrow. But narrowness is also relative. For example, in terms of area, it is still equal to who knows how many galaxies now. It was a quiet time, with energy and radiation moving at an inexhaustible rate.
Until one day, a minuscule particle self-detonated. However, it self-detonated at a critical moment, triggering the entire universe's energy flow. At this time, the energy movement was like a rapidly spinning gear. When the speed had exceeded a certain threshold, the gear jumped out of its original position, and a huge explosion occurred.
A huge explosion of energy that shocked Zero beyond measure. The destructive energy that was akin to billions of nuclear bombs exploding at the same time exploded the invisible shackles at the edges of the universe. Countless amounts of energy and matter were ejected into the endless void at a terrifyingly rapid speed. The universe was like a giant that stretched out its body, becoming incomparably broad from its narrowness.
Countless beams of energy and all sorts of substances flew past Zero's feet and around his body. The spectacular scene made Zero unable to breathe. He looked around and saw an uncountable band of light filling the entire space. At this moment, the universe was full of vitality.
It was unknown how many tens of thousands of years had passed before the universe gradually quieted down. Energy and matter were gathering, forming planets in the darkness. A nebula is formed between the planets, and a vast galaxy is formed between the nebulae. Vast galaxies lie across the curtain of the universe, invisibly bound together by dark matter, without the galaxies collapsing at the speed of the planets themselves.
On these planets, Zero saw all sorts of strange life. At this moment, he was like a creator, but also like a spectator looking at the entire universe. In the eyes of zero, life on the planet was born and destroyed, and life was constantly changing. Humans weren't lonely in the universe. Earth wasn't the only planet that was suitable for life in the vast universe.
In order to achieve interstellar communication alone, mankind's current technological civilization is still very far behind. However, before humans appeared, there were already some galaxies that had very strong races of life. They created a space fleet capable of intergalactic travel and began to explore the existence of other galaxies in the universe.
It could be said that the galaxies in the universe were not evenly distributed. Zero suddenly saw the scene in front of him stretching rapidly. In a split-second, he had already left that galaxy that he didn't know how many light years had passed before, before the scene finally settled down.
The universe here was lonely and dark, not as lively as the galaxy Zero had just seen. On the dark blue curtain of the universe, there were only a few planets that didn't matter. The number of planets was simply too small. Not to mention galaxies, they couldn't even form nebulae.
On these planets, there was a deathly stillness. Only a group of unique life forms appeared on a dark red planet. They were shaped like giant fire ants, but their bodies were covered with compound eyes, pincers, and were ten meters long. These things were the only life on the planet. They lived near the core of the planet, and they fed on the energy of the earth. 100,000 years after the appearance of this life form, the planet's energy was almost depleted.
Zero was now in the center of the earth, and he could clearly see that the lava in the ground was drying up. This was the blood of the planet, and now they were disappearing. The planet began to sink in, and if nothing went wrong, the planet would eventually collapse and die. It could even form a massive gravitational field, which was also known as a black hole.
However, an accident happened.
Those who lived on the planet were unwilling to die. In order to gain the right to continue living, they underwent a crazy evolution.
Swallowing.
Countless strange ants were constantly devouring their own kind, using their own genes to replenish and upgrade themselves. Finally, they were done before the planet was completely destroyed. All the strange ants on the planet had disappeared. They had finally evolved from countless individuals into a single life form.
This superlife was free from the constraints of the body and existed as energy. It was a mass of dark energy, shaped like a dark cloud but large enough to cover a star. This form of life also fed on energy. It left its collapsed home planet and moved to a nearby planet. From the main body of the body, countless black pillars of cloud were separated, and the pillars of cloud penetrated into the core of the planet, continuously absorbing the energy of the planet into their own body.
It was like a wild beast hunting for food. Wherever it went, its life would be gone. And this thing was exactly the terrifying creature that Zero had seen in the records of the ancient humans in the six-winged spaceship. Only now did Zero know of its origin.
This was a Star Beast, a terrifying demon beast that could devour life, planets and even galaxies!
