The original place.

Superstring Empire.

In the slightly dim and magnificent starry sky, strange buildings stand everywhere.

These buildings are rarely square in shape. Most of them are curved or have curves. They are built in some artistic form, giving people a weird and crazy texture.

Buildings are not cold, dead things; there are a lot of living things moving among them.

These creatures come in two main forms.

One creature is spindle-shaped, with both ends blooming like anemones. When it flies, its dense tentacles stretch and retract rhythmically, contrasting with the surrounding buildings in an extremely harmonious manner.

The most eye-catching thing is the unknown aperture surrounding the subject, which is about twenty centimeters away from the body surface.

As the tentacles at both ends shrink and expand, the aperture will gradually change into countless colors, while releasing dense ripples outward.

These ripples transmit information and communicate with other similar organisms.

The second type of creature is also spindle-shaped, but it does not have retractable tentacles at both ends. Instead, it has some dense needle-like structures similar to bone layers.

Like the former, these creatures have a similarly changing halo around them.

As the needles slid, it seemed to cause some invisible changes to the space, allowing them to travel through it instantly, ignoring obstacles.

If you move your vision as far as possible towards the middle of the building complex, you can see tens of thousands of planets densely packed together. This place is called Star Burial Mountain.

At the top of the Star Burial Mountain, there is a huge, twisted, and swirling strange deep purple planet.

The planet is not spherical, but gourd-shaped.

At the top of the planet, huge clusters of spindle-shaped creatures surrounded it, each emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

They are guarding the emperor of the empire, the most noble creature in the primordial land.

The so-called most noble creature, standing respectfully in a conical mountain a hundred thousand meters high, shouted at the locked crimson gate in front of him, "The original demon has returned, and the empire is in grave danger. Please ask the Imperial Master to come out."

This was his third request, but the mountain gate remained unchanged.

The temperature on the crimson mountain wall exceeded 100 million degrees Celsius, and the remains of creatures burned to ashes were the sacrifices he brought.

After waiting for a long time, a general came from the rear.

"Since the Imperial Master is unwilling to come out, Your Majesty, there is no need to force him. With our abilities, we may be able to withstand the attack of the original demon."

The emperor's name is Randolph, Origin level.

After four million years of being at the Origin level, he had practically given up on the future and was now solely focused on the empire.

But what can I do...

"Have the twelve demon kings appeared?"

The general replied, "The Demon King hasn't appeared, but there are signs of the Primordial Beasts. Each Primordial Beast is at least Origin Level. I'm afraid this will require the combined strength of the entire nation."

Randolph lamented, "I'm afraid this won't work. If the Imperial Master hadn't suddenly arrived, the empire would have been conquered by the original demons long ago."

After a long silence, the general offered a solution: "For now, our only option is to unite with other civilizations in the Primordial Land to fight the demons together. As long as we offer them enough benefits, they will definitely take action."

"Alas, this is the only way. Pass on my order. Any extraterritorial civilization that assists the Empire in defeating the original demons will be rewarded with a large amount of star cores. I will never break my promise."

The general took the order and left, and Randolph stood in front of the door for a long time.

"National Master, you didn't come out of the mountain. There must be a compelling reason. We will try our best to hold on."

…

"Another train wreck?"

In the cockpit of the Fuyao train, Chen An was quite surprised by the train wreckage that had been discovered one after another in recent times.

[After statistical analysis of the wreckage, twelve of the pieces belonged to the same train, while the others were all different. Currently, it is known that six trains larger than the Universe class have perished along this route.]

"Can you analyze the time?"

[Between 20 million and 100 million years]

"The range is too large, connect to Blade's communications."

Blade was meditating in the car and when he learned that another train wreck had appeared, he took it very seriously.

"If my guess is correct, the train trial has happened many times before. Eighty million years ago, our Hundred Battles Clan was just one of the routes, but unfortunately, it has reached a dead end."

Chen An asked: "Have you obtained more information about the Resurrection Calendar?"

"Back then, there was no concept of a resurrection calendar, nor was there a unified time system. We all followed our own civilization's timekeeping methods. Have you made any new discoveries?"

Chen An thought for a moment before saying, "Combining all the information we have, we know that those powerful beings spent nearly 100 million years testing the 'Resurgence Calendar' in order to realize it, and they didn't begin until the entire process was perfect. No, maybe it wasn't perfect, but some unexpected events forced the Resurgence Calendar to begin, leaving behind many bugs that we can explore."

"Accidentally means annihilation?"

"It's very likely. Only annihilation could force them to implement the Resurrection Calendar plan. So the question is, what is the Resurrection Calendar for? There must be a purpose."

Blade tentatively guessed, "To train train conductors? This is the purpose of all the trials at the station."

Chen An shook his head. "I used to think the same as you, but the more I understand about the gods, the more I realize that their purpose is not to train us, but for other reasons. Forget it, many problems become more and more depressing the more I think about them. After all, there is always a way to deal with them. There are many good things in the train wreckage, you can go and collect some. Damn, that guy Tiejian is really fast."

After the call was disconnected, Chen An immediately dispatched a collection team to race against time.

But to be honest, he has no shortage of resources now.

I just had nothing to do and wanted to compete with Tielian for fun.

Time continued to pass, and the team did not suffer any threat, but the words "Zhengxing" appeared more and more frequently.

Almost every train is related to the "Zhengxing" (star sign) symbol. I initially thought it was a slogan or command, but as I researched it, I discovered it might be a name for a group.

"The Star-Conquering Clan?"

[It's highly likely. This is a powerful entity capable of destroying higher-level trains. We must handle it with caution.]

Chen An was surprised: "I hope we won't meet him soon, otherwise we will just die."

[Theoretically, it shouldn't happen, but in reality... who knows?]

…

After years of resuscitation, Chen An was awakened from his meditation state and hurried to the cockpit.

A star map was displayed on the screen with four large characters on it: The Original Land.

Many places on the route have fixed names, and the star map can be unlocked as long as the train arrives.

"Is there any relevant information?"

[No information about the original land yet, we must go deeper]

As we go deeper into the primordial land, the starry sky becomes vaster and the concentration of super energy increases significantly.

Chen An ordered to slow down and leave enough time for exploration.

It wasn't until three months later that Fuyao discovered any traces of civilization.

There are many civilizations in the Primordial Land, but the strongest is called the Superstring Empire. We need to find civilized planets to invade the network and obtain information.
