The mother planet exploded, and humanity escaped into space aboard a star-spanning train.
As the train's conductor, Chen An transports passengers for interstellar survival, forging his ow...
The spirit cave has a name, it is called House Spirit Cave.
The reason why it contains the word "cave" is because this place is located inside a giant object and is protected by some strong structural layer.
Before entering, Chen An observed carefully from outside and finally confirmed that the spirit cave was inside the corpse of some creature.
This creature is extremely powerful, at least at the Law Realm strength.
"Uncle, disaster is coming."
Following the direction of Yao's finger, Chen An saw the starry sky in the distance turn from gray to blood red, as if blood was rapidly spreading towards his current location.
The conscious body was a step slower and was swallowed by the blood-red color. It turned into ashes in an instant and turned into pure spiritual energy.
Chen An seemed to have realized something. When the Yang hour was over, those consciousness bodies that were killed would most likely evolve into spirit strings, which are what the locals call spirit groups.
While thinking, Chen An grabbed Yao and flew quickly into the spiritual cave. He had no plans to study the external environment in depth for the time being.
There is a layer of gray film at the entrance and exit of the cave. After passing through it, the view suddenly becomes clear, as if you have arrived at a new starry sky.
Not far from the membrane hovered a number of tiny starports, connected in a long string to block the way.
The consciousness bodies coming and going must pass through the designated channels and pay the spiritual group as the fee for long-term residence.
Chen An did not act rashly. He followed local rules and took Yao Piao into the passage to queue up.
Not long after, they floated to the verification area and their levels were tested by the equipment on site.
Chen An invaded with his mind at the fastest speed and found that the principle of the equipment test level was to observe the circuits on the body of consciousness, which was so backward that Chen An could not believe it.
So he forged eight lines on his body and easily passed the checkpoint.
"Please pay ten spirit groups." A mechanical voice came from the subsequent equipment.
Chen An looked up and saw that the entire equipment line was like a conveyor belt, which could almost completely see through the consciousnesses coming and going.
The level, strength, and number of independent assets are all clearly visible.
But for Chen An, this level of snooping was easy to circumvent, so he pretended to be a newcomer to the eighth level of consciousness sea, not much stronger than Yao.
"The rule of the Spirit Cave is that there is one spirit group every day, and the Yang time will last for ten days, so we have to stay in it for at least ten days. We will come out when the Yin time comes, which can ensure that the loss of the spirit group is minimized." Yao calculated carefully and told Chen An these basic rules.
Chen An smiled slightly and handed over the spirit ball.
Everything went smoothly after that, and they passed through the starport and entered the free area.
The so-called free zone is a trading area with a large number of old warships, which is dedicated to serving the passengers.
"The villa area on Planet Nine only costs thirty-seven spirit groups for ten days. It's definitely a good deal."
"Freshly purified spiritual energy, one unit only sells for forty spiritual groups."
"Brother, this is good stuff. One breath will make you feel ecstatic and give you a pleasure you've never experienced before."
"Victoria is recruiting new members. The minimum number of spiritual groups per day is ten. The salary is very generous. First come, first served."
Yao's ears perked up, and she was very interested in the trading area.
"Uncle, since we have nothing to do, let's work. Ten spirit groups a day!"
Although he is rich now, Yao instinctively wants to earn more.
Chen An asked, "Do you know what Victoria does?"
"What?"
Without waiting for Chen An to answer, the consciousness that had just randomly released electromagnetic signals floated over, looked him up and down, and said, "You two have pure consciousnesses, so you must be newcomers who just came in not long ago. We in Victoria like newcomers the most, and we can give you better treatment."
Chen An glanced at him with disdain, turned around and left.
The man hurriedly caught up and exchanged consciousness.
"Brother, it's hard for newcomers without background to get along here. Do you have any ancestors who got along well? I guess not, because not everyone comes here after death. Your ancestors may have gone to other spirit caves."
"Since you have no background, you need strength. One of you is level five, and the other is level eight. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. It's very difficult to survive until the next Yin Hour. You will most likely become the servant of a powerful being. Do you know what spiritual servants are? Using your consciousness to support your master, you will almost never be able to make a comeback."
"Now, Victoria is giving you a chance. You'll receive a generous reward for every guest you receive. This is definitely the best way out for newcomers. You two have just died, and you still have the pride of your past lives. But here, dignity is nothing. There was once an emperor who was exiled to the Spirit Cave and still came to Victoria to make a living, but who knows how many guests he has received so far."
After hearing this, Yao already understood what kind of business it was and shook her head in fear.
"Uncle, let's go quickly. They are doing that kind of business."
Everything that exists in the world of the living can also be found here, and it is even more prosperous.
At the level of spiritual compatibility, gender, age and identity do not matter, only the degree of purity matters.
No matter how a person lived, his consciousness after death is likely to be very pure, and will be coveted by countless old things.
Chen An had already obtained this information through the local network, so he rejected it early on.
"If you don't want to be served, you can still enjoy it. You two, Victoria has recently released a lot of good new products. Why don't you go and try them..."
The exchange of information stopped abruptly because he saw a strong murderous intent in Chen An's eyes.
That was the terrifying look that came from killing countless lives.
"You...I'm sorry for being nosy. I wish you two stay away." He turned around and flew away as a beam of light, continuing to flirt with other newcomers.
After the surroundings quieted down, Chen An said to Yao, "Wherever there are people, there is society. Good and evil, beauty and ugliness are common. People who have died once are often more complicated. You must be extremely cautious when interacting with them in the future."
Yao said seriously, "I understand. But in reality, not all consciousnesses retain all memories of their past lives. I've met many very innocent newcomers."
"Really?" Chen An didn't know this information.
There were no obstacles after that, and they passed along the route and entered the regular star area.
There are no stars here, only sparsely distributed dead planets, surrounded by various stellar structures.
For conscious beings, they don’t need superpowers or a very comfortable living environment. A cave that can block the energy from the extraterrestrial space is good enough.
But consciousnesses are ultimately the transformations of intelligent creatures after death, so their pursuits will become higher and higher, leading to the construction of complex buildings.
It may not be very useful, but it can improve your status.
After Chen An and his companions passed through some simple dead planets in front, they came to a higher-quality planet with a higher level of construction, where many important figures or major forces were distributed.
"Uncle, every place in the Spirit Cave has an owner, and we have to pay to live there. We don't have to go to a good place, just find a meteorite."
Since Chen An is here, he must give Yao better treatment.
So he held on to Yao tightly and flew inside.
