Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 339 - 92: The Heaven-Sent Object

Luckily, Wang Qi's excited state only lasted a short while before settling down. He sat back down and said with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, so sorry, I got a little too excited just now. You guys had to hear a lot of my immature ideas, truly embarrassing."

In the afternoon, Feng Luoyi had warned Wang Qi not to delve too deeply into this matter. However, Feng Luoyi also knew that a scientist's curiosity is one of the greatest forces in the world, so he shared some content and the Immortal Alliance's conjectures about civilizations with Wang Qi.

But Wang Qi, who had been poisoned by various science fiction for over twenty years in his past life, upon hearing the information Feng Luoyi provided, inevitably fell into wild speculation. The long spiel he just gave Huangfu Lian and Mo Zhenzhen was purely a result of being driven mad by his own wild imaginings—a venting of feelings.

Huangfu Lian and Mo Zhenzhen were scared speechless. Huangfu Lian, slightly neurotic, asked, "Immature... immature ideas? That Dark Forest and all..."

Wang Qi laughed and said, "Ha ha ha, the existence of the 'Dark Forest' is predicated on the idea that every civilization in this universe must steadfastly believe in nonsense like 'If they're not of our race, their hearts must be different'—but in this universe, adhering to such a belief is undoubtedly inefficient and would slow down the progress of the entire civilization, because here anything could awaken its spirit and demonize, then slap you in the face. Just on our home planet alone, there are countless alien clans."

Mo Zhenzhen tentatively asked, "Really?"

"I can't be certain," said Wang Qi, "but if you ask me, the coexistence of multiple racial groups is probably the norm for this universe, right? If we can accept the Stone Demons of our home planet, then why can't we accept Stone Demons from other planets? If we accept Stone Demons from other planets, then it's not impossible to further accept other life beings from those planets, right?"

Transformation Divine Power is one of the greatest inventions of the Ancient Demon Clan civilization. This great divine skill, which doesn't rewrite DNA but directly warps the expression of DNA, can even bypass reproductive isolation, making the distinction between clans within the Demon Clan seem less important—and in the eyes of most of the Demon Clan, humans are actually just a special type of demon.

Mo Zhenzhen's expression slightly cleared, but she still looked terrified, "Then, what about the Super Magic and the... Anti-Spiral Clan?"

"Ah ha ha, I just made that up on the spot," said Wang Qi. "It's all just stories, just stories."

Huangfu Lian looked puzzled, "Yet you thought about it so seriously..."

Wang Qi said, "I desire longevity."

"I desire longevity because I want to see the true Great Dao—even if by then I am old and decrepit, no longer able to lead the way, I still want to go and see."

"With such thoughts, I can't help but ponder about the prospects of the Human Clan, civilization, and the Immortal Dao... If the Shenzhou Immortal Dao were to collapse suddenly, my individual pursuit of Dao would be very inefficient."

Mo Zhenzhen said, still unsettled, "Your thoughts are really... terrifying."

Wang Qi laughed heartily, "Ah ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha ha. Actually, the silence of the universe might be surprisingly simple."

Mo Zhenzhen and Huangfu Lian quickly interjected, "Don't..."

"Relax, this time I'm not trying to scare you," Wang Qi shrugged. "The truth is simply that the Star Sea is so vast, it's an insurmountable gap, and the top cultivators of the Mahayana and the likes are all busy ascending to Immortal Heaven, with no interest in crossing the Star Sea—nothing more."

Mo Zhenzhen asked confusedly, "But just now you said that in billions of years, there must be oddities..."

Wang Qi burst into hearty laughter, "Just kidding."

The chaos caused by Spirit Energy in the cosmic environment is not just a joke. According to Wang Qi's calculations, the farther away from a celestial body, the more chaotic the Spirit Energy becomes. Under such circumstances, the cost of crossing the Star Sea is frighteningly high.

Whether it's the records from Zhen Chan about Ancient Method Practitioners ascending to Immortal Heaven or the observations revealed by Feng Luoyi about Modern Cultivators watching Yuanli Masters ascend, they all indicate that Immortal Heaven is not a large Grotto Heaven but another open space. Such

an open space would definitely influence more than just Shenzhou. It is hypothesized that the entire festive world likely has instances of ascension; therefore, in this universe, ascension is the mainstream philosophy. High Order cultivators being busy with ascension is not a phenomenon unique to the Shenzhou Ancient Method.

With the elite of this civilization all busy ascending, how much motive is left for exploring the cosmos?

Regarding the probability of non-cultivation civilizations appearing in this universe... well, almost none. Even a slightly sophisticated purely mechanical device would be destroyed in minutes in a High Spirit Energy environment, and in a Low Spirit Energy environment, the fluctuations in the Spirit Energy would greatly shorten the lifespan of the device. A civilization purely devoted to science like Earth's, tilting towards the Supreme, is an unimaginable existence in this universe.

Mo Zhenzhen was still very afraid of the Super Magic Dao or the "Sieve" that Wang Qi mentioned. With no other choice, Wang Qi had to explain, "You don't really need to think too much about the Super Magic Dao, just take it as a ghost story. As for the 'Sieve,' you don't have to worry about it either." freeweɓnovel.cøm

Mo Zhenzhen asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Wang Qi looked up and said, "The silence of the universe is actually the best news. Because it suggests that the 'Sieve' might have existed in the early stages of life beings' evolution or early civilization. The Ancient Method Immortal Path, the Ancient Demon Clan Civilization, or even the older Primordial Demon Race Civilization have all perished. We have gone further than they have; perhaps we have already passed through the 'Sieve.' If we find a mature Immortal Path on other planets, it means the possibility of us having already gone through the 'Sieve' has greatly diminished. If we discover other Modern ways, we can almost be certain that the 'Sieve' will be in our future..."

"There's also another possibility, which is that the universe has only recently become suitable for life beings to survive, perhaps due to the reduction of Entropy Flow in Spiritual Energy, or some other reason. We might be the first batch of life beings, the first batch of civilizations."

At this point, Wang Qi shook his head again. This possibility was actually not high. The legend of "Immortal Heaven Transmitting Method" had no historical evidence, but it wasn't completely unfounded either... Could it be that Shenzhou has already had contact with extraterrestrial civilizations?

Huangfu Lian wiped the sweat off his brow and said, "I won't discuss these issues with you anymore... It's really scary."

Wang Qi apologized bashfully, "Sorry... What were you guys originally doing?" Just then, Wang Qi's stomach suddenly "gurgled." He reached for his Storage Bag, then said awkwardly, "Um, by the way, do you have any food? I finished all my rations over those few days while editing my paper."

Mo Zhenzhen laughed and said, "Ah, I still have some ingredients left over from the last time we had a meal together, Senior Brother, if you don't mind..."

Wang Qi didn't care, "As long as it fills me up."

Mo Zhenzhen set up the grill skillfully, then took out a copper box from her Storage Bag. Inside were marinated slices of meat. While Wang Qi waited for the meat to cook, Huangfu Lian took the opportunity to ask him some knowledge about Topology.

Soon, the meat slices on the grill began to emit an enticing aroma of oil. Wang Qi couldn't help but shift his gaze over. Mo Zhenzhen took this moment to ask, "Senior Brother Wang, do you always think about these issues?"

"No, I think about some statistical matters as well."

Mo Zhenzhen asked curiously, "Statistical matters? Can you talk about it specifically?"

Wang Qi thought for a moment and said seriously, "For instance, 'From a statistical standpoint, why does the childhood friend never win against a love rival dropped from the sky'."

Mo Zhenzhen, who grew up reading pure romance stories, was deeply puzzled by Wang Qi's statement, "What kind of statistics is that?"

"Do you know about the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion? It's the one that always governs the Fusang Demon Clan." Wang Qi continued in all seriousness, "They have some internal stories that circulate only within the Sect like 'Human-Shaped Calculator Fairy Heart' and such. If it wasn't for the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion being a subsidiary Sect of the Wanfa Sect, and that I knew a high-ranking True Inheritor Senior Brother, it would be difficult to get a glimpse of these."

Mo Zhenzhen was shocked, "Human-Shaped Calculator..."

"It has a female form, everything can be self-defined, it's the best substitute for a Daoist couple for the disciples of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion."

"That feels, kind of disgusting..."

Suddenly, the Mana that Wang Qi had spread around him started to shake violently, and he heard Zhen Chan's shout, "Dodge!"

Without thinking, Wang Qi leaped forward. Huangfu Lian, who had sensed something before him, grabbed Mo Zhenzhen and fled outside.

And then, there was a loud bang.
