Chapter 635: Chapter 635 Looking For “Ah”

Translator: Doggotranslation

In the star map, there were a total of eight huge galaxies, which seemed to be arranged in some certain order. Under the control of the giant head, and seemingly according to rules such as gravity, they were moving in a complex pattern. Chu Yunsheng’s astronomical knowledge was basically equal to the level of primary school students. The realistic galaxies the giant head drew, he couldn’t tell which galaxies they were.

“A long time ago, our ancestors kept researching new spaceships and long-distance communication methods, helping us get rid of the restrictions one after another, and let us explore the entire galaxy, they started from here-” The head had a potential of being a great storyteller, and maybe it was related to the people who it “ate”. Perhaps, it thought that Chu Yunsheng had really forgotten everything, it started talking about things from a long time ago.

As it spoke, the surrounding ice elemental energy changed along with it, forming a realistic holographic “illusion” using ice crystals as the main body. Chu Yunsheng and the giant head seem to be standing on a vigorous planet, countless space fleets took off from here, turned into countless stars, and disappeared into the dark and infinite universe.

“The ancestors kept searching and spreading to the entire galaxy. It has lasted countless years. Generations of ancestors have spent their lifetime flying and exploring. Some of them were born and died in spaceships. After all the hardships, finally one day we spread our footprints across every planet in the galaxy!” The head said with deep respect.

Chu Yunsheng interjected and asked, “What are they exploring? Why do they need to pay such a big price? ”

Even just one of the most common galaxies, its span would always be calculated in millions of light-years, no matter how fast the flying speed was, it would be a long and lonely “journey”. Although using generations of lives to explore it sounded honourable, it was actually very cruel.

The giant head glared at him: “it was the sacrifices of our ancestors that made us what we are today! There were too many things to explore, resources, scientific research, places suitable for survival, knowing where we are, what was around us, how did we appear… Etc, there were too many of them, some fleets were carrying the mission of searching for other lives. Everyone wants to know if there was only us in the universe, and were we the only life in the world?

Long before that, we have sent countless radio signals to the universe, but apart from the sound of “ah”, we have not received any other signals for countless years. In order to find “ah”, our ancestors specially arranged a spaceship dedicated to finding “ah” mission in every space fleet in every direction. In order to find “ah”, hundreds of millions of ancestors died on the way. You are in no position to judge this kind of sacrifice!”

Chu Yunsheng naturally disagreed with it. For millions of years, without any special reason, if it was just exploring scientific research, the research would end long ago. Perhaps the huge resources in the galaxy were the real drive of the ancestors of the head. However, there was no need for him to argue this kind of trivial matter with the giant head, so he asked it to continue: “Then did you find ‘ah’ later?”

The head sighed: “how could it be that easy? Our ancestors searched every corner of the galaxy, however, it was like a ghost in the space, apart from hearing ‘ah’ once in a very long time, we couldn’t find the specific location of ‘ah’, so gradually our ancestors were divided into two parties.

One party believed that “ah” was not actually in the galaxy we were in. It must be outside the galaxy, and should focus on developing more advanced spaceships. As long as we flew out of the galaxy, we would find it sooner or later.

The other party’s thought was just the opposite. They believed that since the ah signal could be received no matter where they were in the galaxy, it meant that the ah was in the local galaxy, because no signal would be able to pass through the vast and empty dark rift between galaxies. It was a dead void ocean. No life could pass through it. Instead of wasting time on making advanced spaceships that could never be made, it was better to study the local galaxy and carefully search for its signs on every possible planet.”

“Who won in the end?” Chu Yunsheng began to be attracted by the head’s story. Although it was only a few words, no matter what its ancestors were really searching for, behind such a search was a magnificent civilization trying to explore the universe. During this magnificent era, all kinds of disputes, various concepts, even religious philosophy, and resource wars would emerge and disappear countless times, shaping their civilization.

The head shook its huge head: “there was no such thing as absolutely right or wrong. Your thoughts have been restrained by staying in the lower biological world for too long. The actual distance between the galaxy, and the galaxy’s dark rift is much farther than it seems to be. Simply put, they are all dark and transparent to light, so there is no sense of distance. There is nothing in it, and its size is extremely vast, and it is countless times the size of a galaxy. The average gravitational field of the energy field inside it is smooth, so it is impossible to use the gravitational depression formed between stars to carry out gravitational flight like those in densely packed galaxies, and they could only rely on the ordinary maximum speed of spaceships.

Crossing such a long distance, it was unrealistic to achieve within just one generation. Even if they were traveling at the speed of the light, they still could not afford such a long time consumption. What was more troublesome and cruel was the existence of the galaxy’s spatial pull, there was no way for any spaceship to fly out of the galaxy, even robots couldn’t do it, let alone living creatures.”

“I understand.” Chu Yunsheng could see the giant head here, indicating that they have found other ways: “So, the party that proposed conducting local galaxy research found the Rainbow Bridge?”

The head twitched and said contemptuously, “When I’m talking, can you please stop interrupting me? You are a Descender, but you have forgotten everything, and your thinking level is similar to these lower creatures. Don’t you find that what you said is ridiculous?

Whether it was the party that proposed to conduct research outside the galaxy or the one that wanted to explore inside the galaxy, who said that there could only be one of them that was correct. Let me tell you something to open up your mind a little bit. Before our ancestors were able to fly to other planets, does it mean that those planets in the galaxy did not exist? Just like the earth, before humans appeared, all the things such as physics and chemistries that humans can find have already existed in nature. Our research confirms that the galaxy itself existed for eons before life began on the home planet, like a room that was set up early, it already existed whether it had life in it or not.

However, regardless of which party, they were both troubled by one question. It was that before we appeared, or before any life appeared in this ‘room’, what was the purpose of this room? It seems to be a paradox, a world without life would not be perceived by life, hence its existence would be unknown, then its existence would be meaningless.

So after searching for a lot of planets, our ancestors determined that they could not find a more advanced civilization than us, so we must face this problem alone. Before our emergence, in the lifeless era, what was the purpose of our ‘room’.”

The paradox arises because of the problem of our vision. Since before we appeared, the natural world around us already existed and was already in a definite state, it means that there must be life appeared far before us, and through exploration and observation, they would determine the existence of our world, but it would lead to other questions such as who determined their world? So it is difficult to find the origin of life. Like an infinite sequence, there is always an earlier life to determine the existence of the world for the life that appeared later. Hmmm… This is a bit complicated, and your little head will definitely not understand it, in short, you just need to know that our ancestors came to this conclusion.”

Chu Yunsheng was indeed very confused about the giant head’s view of the universe, but he could understand the problem of the paradox of their vision, it was just like the bottleneck of Yuan Tian stage four. So he asked in confusion, “does this have anything to do with Rainbow Bridge?”

“Of course it does. What are you in a hurry for? If it weren’t for the fact that you couldn’t remember anything, you think I would want to explain all these details? At first, our ancestors thought that mysterious life was ‘ah’, but they couldn’t find ‘ah’. After years of accumulation of research data, the Dark Rift party believed that since the existence of galaxies outside the dark rift existed, logically, there must be a way to reach other galaxies, and even explore the dark rift, otherwise, there was no need for them to exist or be discovered.

Before this, the localism party once inspected a remote planet, and discovered an area that seemed to have signs of life activities using the latest theory and technology at that time. At first, they only thought it was a very low-level civilized activity. Under the wreckage, some of the information translated after the restoration was also considered to be a culture of worship of stars that was common in lower civilizations.

After the Dark Rift party established the logical theory of the reachability of extragalactic galaxies, there was a new routine examination of all the signs and discoveries, based on a new theory of reasoning, but the result caused an uproar!

The information of the restored remains of what was once considered a lowly civilization turned out not to be primitive star worship activities, but a brutal battlefield. The dying men retreated from an area known as Rainbow Bridge in terrible hopeless conditions. However, they were a very powerful and advanced civilization. In front of them, we, who thought that we were the most advanced civilization, were so ashamed that we were as ignorant as children and even worse than the most inferior life. Our ancestors could not understand their knowledge, so we could only use god to describe their existence.

However, in the leftover wreckage information of such a powerful civilization, it was full of panic, terror, pain, and endless regret. They tried their best to block the exit and tried to seal it and suppress it forever.”
