    The spaceship appeared at the edge of the starry sky energy field and did not stay.  It was full of energy, and under Rosen's passionate command, it opened the wormhole in one breath - plunging into this terrifying energy field that had been tried to explore by countless people, but that had also left countless adventurers without a trace.

    It was dark at first.

    The shuttle in the twisted space is no longer a matter of blinking an eye. It is as if the water in the river suddenly becomes viscous, and the boat drifting on the water slows down due to friction.  The holographic image simulates a three-dimensional image around the spacecraft around the control room, but most of it is dark and cannot form a specific image.

    Without a reference object, it is impossible to intuitively feel the speed of the spacecraft at the moment.  Even in a stable universe, they can't feel whether they are moving forward, stationary, or retreating.  The spacecraft's instrument panel had become garbled as soon as it first entered this space - it became useless.

    Rosen prayed in his heart that this space monster would never fall into the quagmire.

    But gradually, he had a strange feeling.  If his own feelings could be believed at this momentthe spaceship was falling!  He felt that his center of gravity was accelerating downward, vertically downward.  It is very likely that the spacecraft will continue to drill down at an acceleration that breaks artificial gravity, and continue to fall along this dark and strange space that may still be within the scope of a wormhole.

    There is still an unchanging darkness all around.  Time, space When everything no longer has a standard reference to compare with, he can no longer maintain objective judgment.  Perhaps they are now being sucked into an unfathomable abyss, lost in an unpredictable direction.  Or they don't move at all, but just space shifts around

    But no matter what, he was still able to keep thinking.  Although the faces of the three men were filled with fear of the unknown, the racial spores they carried were still well preserved.  He has already stepped out, and he should believe that after breaking out of the darkness, what awaits them is the bright light.

    The "fall" speed of the spacecraft seems to have slowed down.  Over time, Rosen developed a vague sense of all this.  Things are very strange, but they also follow some secret rules.  The acceleration exerted on them gradually balances with the craft's artificial gravity.  Perhaps due to his natural acuity, he felt that it was very likely that the exit was approaching. In the holographic image surrounding them, he saw a moving point flashing in the distant sky.

    It was very small at first and remained unchanged, but suddenly rushed towards the spacecraft at a faster speed - turning into a slightly larger white highlight. No, maybe there were other colors mixed in, but  With the craft's extreme speed, they were mixed up.

    The spacecraft collided head-on.

    The original white light spot became dim. He looked behind him, and the spot appeared looming behind the spacecraft. This seemed to be enough to prove that they had broken away from the shackles of the dark world and passed through the mouth of the bottle.  But the light that should have been there has not yet appeared.  The spaceship passed through the space tunnel and appeared in an abnormal space.

    It¡¯s like opening a door in the dark, and what greets you outside the door is an even darker world.

    There is not a single star in the starry sky. Looking around, there is no darkness that the universe should have.  Even now, he continues to feel an inertia acting on him.  They were no longer able to operate the spacecraft, and the hologram remained on.  The only thing to do is to wait.

    Later, after staring at the hologram, Rosen found some "black spots" in the dark night sky after constant discrimination. Although they were dark, they showed a faint difference from the surrounding background color.  .  If you don't observe it for a long time and get used to it, you may not be able to detect it.

    It¡¯s like there is a huge curtain that completely covers everything.  The sun, moon, starsall are blocked by the master who uses them.  He could not imagine any other explanation than this absurd idea.  Then he pushed the thought out of his mind as a glimmer of light appeared on the distant horizon.

    The spacecraft suddenly accelerated - they passed through the ever-increasing cracks in the light curtain.  The original darkness disappeared in an instant, and the spacecraft returned to the glorious world.  But Rosen was sure that this was no longer the original world Although he only had a quick look, he was sure that this was not the universe he knew, nor was it a place that intelligent life had ever visited.  These glowing dots, these gloomy clouds hanging overhead, who can tell whether they live in the universe or in some strange sphere?

    The spaceship shuttled aimlessly through the starry sky. Below it was an inky shadow, and above its head was a piece of cloth that had been torn apart by dots of light.  They flash with different colors of light, flickering on and off in a certain pattern.  Maybe it's about to go out No, maybe this is just an illusion.  Since he came here, nothing??has exceeded the limits of common sense.  They are composed of green, blue, purple, red complex colors. The colors that are close together will become concrete. When they are aggregated, they are white, and when they are dispersed, they are black.

    They should be luminous substances.  Rosen defined it using the most vaguely familiar memory.  He regained a sense of familiarity that was completely far away from the original world and the original time and space.  When there are only a few almost lonely lives among the vast stars, the consciousness that is still functioning becomes the most precious thing.

    In front of the shining point of light, which is also the side of the direction of the spacecraft - the spacecraft sails with the starboard side as the positive direction, so it took him a long time to adapt to this way of walking sideways, which is almost like a crab.  Just in the area where the light spot takes care of, a bright spot of reflection appears. Maybe it is just a metal wire, glowing silver under the light, but in a moment, it becomes tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of kilometers long.  .  The protruding points on its surface also turned into a regular hexagonal frame due to the proximity, just like a rotating windmill - once.  But now it has completely stopped.

    The spacecraft maintained a course parallel to the "long line". Due to the lack of familiar objects for comparison, Rosen could not estimate how big it was. However, after he passed dozens of groups of hexagonal frames, he gradually realized that  Parked insidethe round, long, square, and flat objects are not ornaments, but completely abandoned spaceships. The size cannot be estimated, but they are at least several hundred meters to several meters in diameter.  The length of kilometers.

    The spacecraft chases the light spot in the distance that always remains the same size - compared with the reference object, its speed is very fast, but the light spot still shows no sign of getting bigger because it gets closer or getting smaller because it gets farther away.  All around were exquisite hexagonal frames, with spaceships that had been dead for many years lying on them. Rosen wanted to look ahead. He used his computer brain to compare the proportions. There might be dozens of long lines connected to them.  Ten thousand or millions of regular hexagonal frames, with more than a dozen spacecraft parked inside each hexagon This thing is a giant space parking port.  It must have been very prosperous and spectacular - during his lifetime.  But it is now dead, and there are many huge crack marks on its body, perhaps as a result of the meteorite impact.

    But then, Rosen gave up this stupid idea - he saw a burning fireball with his own eyes - which proved that the surrounding was not an absolute vacuum, and there was a certain amount of air molecules - a huge fireball.  This thing, which was at least a hundred times larger than a single regular hexagon, collided head-on with the long curved line - the volumes of the two were so disproportionate, but the moment they collided with each other, the firelight illuminated the surroundings, and Rosen's eyes  I was also completely attracted by this scene.

    The light illuminates part of the silver-white lines, and at the same time reveals a larger part of the black body.  In this impact, which was enough to produce hundreds of billions of tons of equivalent TNT, the black object revealed a small part of silvery white spots, and then the impacting meteorite was broken into fragments.  An attack so strong that it is enough to destroy any living thing on the planet's surface - just scratching off a little bit of its black surface - is completely negligible.  Rosen looked at the silver-white "long line" exposed on the outside. It was originally black.

    ¡°Perhaps the technology used on them has exceeded his understanding. The skills of Sebert and the Los people may not be as good as their builders.  Rosen felt a numbness in his scalp. What kind of encounter could such a giant existence cause these things that originally belonged to the Overlord of the Starry Sky to lie here alone for thousands or tens of thousands of years?

    Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.  Although he didn't know what he would encounter in the end, the current scene was enough to shatter his idea of ??a stable life into countless pieces.  Perhaps living in this starry sky is a world of the jungle - all the rules, laws, emotions, and even the "objective" judgments are just "subjective assumptions" in the face of more advanced forms.

    Then, the spacecraft reached the closest distance to the "Long Line" spaceport, and he could clearly see the battleships above it that were completely buried under the interstellar dust. The spacecraft continued to accelerate, heading towards the white bright spot that had spread to the entire field of vision - the color  In the light spot.  The dots of different colors are gathered into a group. From a distance, they are almost equivalent to "stars" in the galaxy, but due to their extremely slight mass, or the repulsive force of individuals.  , so that together they are not enough to produce the huge gravitational pull of the star, so they appear in scattered forms.

    He also saw their final fate - in front, the place with the most flashing light spots, the disappearing end of the "Long Line" giant spaceport, countless flashing light spots approaching them, those who once existed, may be  The greatest and most powerful ruins are gradually separated under the cover of light spots.  The strongest material Rosen had ever seen disappeared easily under their hands, turning into light.Exuberant energy.

    This turned out to be a huge transfer station, where garbage was queued up and waiting. After being decomposed, it would reappear on the other side in other forms.

    Death was repeated in front of them, and Rosen should have felt scared - but the surprise in his mind at all this had exceeded the speed of panic.  He has been paralyzed by countless strange sights, so much so that fear may have been completely eliminated in this destruction that was ten million times more extreme than Sebert.

    Can they still leave?

    It¡¯s impossiblethis is the end of the world.  This side of the sky is not the beautiful universe, it is not the grandeur at the beginning of its formation, nor is it the beauty observed through the telescope.  This place is unpredictable and controlled by some supreme, almost omnipotent intelligence.

    Countless blue, white, green, and red light spots replaced the field of vision around the hologram.  In this process of death that is so absolute that it makes the living body surrender automatically, the methods displayed are already many times better than Seibert's methods of destruction - they make the living body willingly accept death.

    Rosen felt the spacecraft disappearing little by little, and a torrent of thoughts washed over his body. He could already see the light spots approaching. From a distance, they looked like fireflies in the dark night.  , but when it was placed in front of him, Rosen saw the classic scene of electrons moving around the nucleus - a microscopic scene in the quantum world that was also the movement of planets in the macroscopic universe.

    He is disappearing.  Gone without pain, regret, or panic.  The electromagnetic force that maintains the combination of living organisms collapses. Most typically, the molecules that make up his body will separate from each other, and soon, he will become air.  But the light point changed everything. Its energy was released in the form of pairs of photons, and the others became necessary elements to combine new units.

    He is moving towards the same process as them little by little - it turns out that these light spots are produced by destroyed existences. Whether they are living organisms or machines, they will eventually embark on this path.  The moment he was assimilated by them, Rosen fully understood.  This is doomed and necessary destruction.  There is another world outside the energy field. There are many such worlds in the universe, and they all face the same thing - purification.  The final purification caused by the target's inability to follow the established trajectory.  Unqualified life forms must disappear, and life forms that develop along the established path of failure must also disappear When everything disappears, maybe thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands of years, there will be a group of reborn lives.  Climbing up from a piece of warm and moist soil, these single-celled beings carry hope as soon as they are born, and continue to make leaps and bounds on the road to the future, until they develop until the result desired by the being behind them.

    The universe is also much larger than what is actually observed - its expansion is just a microscopic manifestation of the disappearance of energy field formation.  What they can see is far smaller than reality.  Sitting at the bottom of the well and looking at the sky, the sky is no more than the size of a few heads, and the farthest thing you can see is just the clouds that are within reach.

    The same is true for the galaxy he is in, but it is the last experimental target of the Great Purification.  It is the last to be conceived, and it is also the most difficult to handle due to certain errors, and it is also full of variables.  Rosen understood all this in an instant - as countless beings like Seibert - participants in controlling variables, slaves of the master behind the scenes, he already knew that this scene had stopped due to Seibert's means, the existence behind the scenes  It is recovering bit by bit.  It will serve as a master to re-examine the results of the experiment, and eventually it will all end in an instant.

    Under this true ultimate power, everything will be lost.  rs
