The world-devouring dragon

Galactic calendar year 20149, solar system.

With the formation of the subspace channel network, the Milky Way has entered an era of unprecedented rapid communication. Although there are still various dangers and restrictions through subspace channels, at least in terms of communication, the human world no longer has to spend 10,000 years to communicate. Something has spread to distant star regions.

Correspondingly, the originally remote and desolate birthplace of mankind is no longer so desolate. Human beings who suddenly arise often come here through subspace channels, and then reminisce about the footsteps of ancient humans, and even appear on some broken planet wreckage. some settlements.

The solar system at this galactic time is no exception.

"Is this the galaxy where humans originated?"

On a seemingly extremely cutting-edge spacecraft, a group of tourists looked at the solar system in front of them, which was littered with celestial debris and the remains of ancient spacecraft, and seemed quite interested.

Although it is desolate, in this galaxy full of war memories, the most indispensable thing is the traces of many wars. On the many asteroids in the Kuiper Belt, there are traces of weapons left by previous human wars on many asteroids.

"Yes, until the year 765 of the Galactic Calendar, this place was still an important galaxy for the entire human world. However, with the introduction of star-destroying weapons, a planet called 'Mars' was destroyed at that time. From then on, it will never be here again. There was no place suitable for human habitation anymore, and it was gradually abandoned.”

On the spaceship, a middle-aged man explained the psychic fluctuations emanating from him.

In this era when all humans have psychic powers, except for a few occasions, most of the time humans no longer use speech to communicate. After all, compared to language, the speed of spiritual communication and the accuracy of information transmission are far superior to language.

"Mars? I remember that the planet where humans lived in the early days was not called Mars, but what was it called... yes, it was Earth!"

The young man thought about it, and the processor built into his brain quickly gave the answer. The next moment he was confused.

The middle-aged man nodded.

"Yes, the planet that humans inhabited in the early days was not Mars, but the Earth. But the Earth was destroyed because of an incident before the galactic calendar."

As he said this, the middle-aged man laughed.

"It's very interesting to talk about it. In 978 BC in the Galactic Calendar, the human world at that time had only two galaxies, the Solar System and the Hope System. We all know the history of the Hope System, so we won't go into details about it. At that time, the Solar System It is divided up by multiple forces, the largest of which is called the Overlord, and the Overlord controls the earth."

“I don’t know why, but the person in charge of the Overlord at the time ordered the bombing of Earth, the most important settlement of his power. This also directly led to the decline of the Overlord.”

"Blow up your own planet? What is this person in power thinking?"

Hearing this, the young man was surprised.

This is not found in the processor's database. After all, the processor built into the brain cannot store all the knowledge in the entire human world.

The middle-aged man shook his head.

"I don't know, no one knows what the person in power was thinking at that time. I am quite interested in the history of the pre-galactic calendar, and I have even considered tracing back photons and restoring the entire history through the photon information emitted 21,128 years ago. But this The cost is huge, and I don’t have the ability for the time being... I don’t know if it will be possible in a few hundred years.”

The middle-aged man felt a little regretful.

Just as he was talking, someone's psychic energy fluctuations suddenly became violent. It was obvious that the other person was very excited.

"Look! It's the remains of the planet where humans originated, the Earth!"

What caught everyone's eyes was the numerous planetary fragments lying quietly in orbit.

Even though it was destroyed into countless fragments by the impact of the war, those fragments were still so huge. Each fragment was as huge as a mountain peak, and thousands of huge peaks were suspended in the void. Twenty thousand years ago, these fragments were the origin of humankind, and each fragment may have been inhabited by their ancient ancestors.

Ancestors living on the planet, humans living among the stars; shattered mountains, spaceships in the void...

The spaceship moved slowly around the peaks, and everyone fell silent, carefully feeling the heaviness created by time.

The young man looked at these mountains. Suddenly, he felt as if he had seen something, but because of the movement of the spacecraft, he missed it in an instant.

"Wait, what is that?"

The processor in his brain did not miss the picture in front of him, and then a three-dimensional picture appeared in front of his eyes...

Between the peaks, a girl wearing an ancient robe was suspended in space, her hands clasped tightly, as if she was silently praying for something. Even in this interstellar age where everyone is handsome and beautiful, young people cannot help but admire her. But the problem is...

She wasn't wearing any protective gear at all!

The young man has heard that some powerful psychics can rely on their own psychic powers and can freely travel through space without any artificial props. The problem is, if it really relies on spiritual energy, then the fluctuations caused by powerful spiritual energy cannot be concealed at all.

So how did this beautiful girl do it?

"Wait! Stop! There's something there!"

Rapid mental fluctuations surged out of the young man's body, alarming his companions. However, at the same time as the young man's mental fluctuations surged out, a change occurred.

The mountain peaks that were originally still in the void suddenly moved abnormally.

The spacecraft's AI recognized this anomaly in an instant, and the engine at half the speed of light accelerated from its original slow movement, directly out of the range of the peaks.

"how……"

"what happened……"

The companions who were still confused emitted waves of confusion, but the young man's eyes looked directly at the remains of the earth.

Although he still didn't understand what happened, he instinctively determined that it was all related to the girl in space.

In the young man's eyes, the advanced prosthetic eye rotates slightly as his vision condenses, proving that this crystallized product of human technology is operating efficiently.

spectrum……

Thermal energy images…

gravitational……

Particle impact...

Psychic monitoring reaction...

Dimensional warp measurements…

…

In just a few seconds of observation, a large amount of observation data has been transmitted to the young man's brain processor and converted into detailed conclusions.

finally……

"I saw it!"

A few seconds later, in the image drawn by the processor, the young man saw the target he wanted to see.

In the three-dimensional image drawn, there is an extremely small figure among the peaks. The beautiful girl with clasped hands was suspended in space, chanting something quickly, and an invisible energy reaction surrounded her.

What this energy reaction is, even the mechanical eye cannot identify. However, many side data can confirm that there must be some kind of strange reaction that cannot be understood by the mechanical eyes and the processor in the brain!

And according to the thermal energy map, her body temperature must be very low, almost the same as the space temperature of nearly minus two hundred degrees. What does this mean?

Human-looking AI?

Or a corpse?

Young people don’t understand and can’t understand.

These conclusions were quickly received by the companions through mental fluctuations, but no one understood what was going on. The faces of these interstellar humans who have undergone many genetic adjustments, mechanical modifications, and possess psychic powers are full of confusion and confusion.

But no matter what the humans on the spacecraft thought, in the void, the broken peaks scattered on many orbits began to gather together, and gradually converged into the shape of a planet.

"Is that...Earth?"

The middle-aged man's face was full of shock.

For a middle-aged man who likes to study pre-galactic history, he once imagined what the Earth looked like, but he never thought he could see a real Earth.

The huge, bare planet has no crust, no atmosphere, and no oceans, only a dead, cold core.

Next to the huge planet, the girl's figure looks extremely small, like a grain of sand next to the sea, but it is extremely clear to the eyes of interstellar humans. Pale skin, dead white pupils, and strange scales on some parts of the body.

Her face was cold, she no longer chanted, she just stared quietly at the planet in front of her.

The spaceship didn't get too close, but flew around the planet and the strange girl.

Psykers all have strong or weak precognitive abilities, and for some reason, everyone feels an invisible fear towards the strange girl and the planet that seems to be the Earth.

"Is this... is this the end?"

Among the companions, there was someone who was unconsciously emitting mental fluctuations, and everyone could feel the uncertainty and uneasiness in his heart.

Suddenly, under the sight of all interstellar humans, a crack appeared on the huge planet, and then the crack spread quickly, and then formed a huge crack texture.

From the huge planet, a huge tail covered with scales broke through the shell. The cracked shell was violently shattered by the huge tail that was thousands of miles long. Some were directly forced to be broken into powder, while more were It turns into fragmented mountain peaks suspended in this space.

Pieces of the shell shattered, and the things inside were slowly revealed in front of them...

Among the debris of the planet is a giant snake entangled.

In the vast space, the giant snake stretching thousands of miles away stretched its body at will, with a lazy posture, as if it had just woken up from a long sleep.

On the huge head, the cold, erect snake eyes slowly opened.

"This...this is..."

The middle-aged man's pupils were slightly dilated, and his face was full of horror. He even took a few steps back involuntarily, sat down on the ground, and pointed with trembling fingers at the starry sky beast in front of him.
