The Night Star, true to its name, is a planet perpetually shrouded in darkness. Its surface is almost always obscured by night, with only a few brief patches of light. Located at the edge of the universe, far removed from other galaxies, it seems like a forgotten corner.
It was indeed forgotten until adventurers from Sark blasted a crater on the long night star, where no light ever shone, and in the ice that had been frozen for millennia, the ruins of an unknown civilization appeared.
The surface of the ruins is covered by a thick layer of ice, which, over time, has been shaped by sedimentation and compression, resulting in various unique textures and crystalline structures.
Machine exploration revealed numerous unique architectural styles and ancient symbolic carvings within the ruins. These symbols are entirely different from the writing and language of the planet Night, and no one can decipher their meaning. Some believe these symbols are historical records of a civilization, while others believe they are some form of highly encrypted information.
In addition to the above, ancient technological devices and machines are scattered throughout the ruins. Although most have ceased operation, some devices still emit a faint glow. Mysterious symbols are engraved on the casings of these devices, adding to the mystery and awe-inspiring nature of the entire site. Precise detection by these machines has also revealed traces of bioengineering within the ruins. Scientists have discovered indications of genetic modification and bioengineering in these traces, suggesting that this civilization may have mastered advanced biotechnology.
The first major discovery at the ruins was this biotechnology. Scientists found traces of super-powered pets inside, which may provide clues to the origin of these pets.
The second major discovery at the ruins is a mysterious energy source. Legend has it that a powerful energy source lies hidden in the core area of the ruins. This source has been detected as capable of providing a continuous supply of energy to the entire planet, but to this day, no one has been able to successfully activate or utilize it.
...
All of the above are results from machine detection; no one has yet been able to actually enter this ruin.
"Then why can't we go in? The technology must be pretty advanced by now, right?" Cheng Huaijin asked Bubble in the communicator.
Bubble's current image is that of a cute little girl with two buns. Staring at her chubby figure, she explains to Cheng Huaijin: "Because half of the residents of Changye Star worship the Dark Night God, the followers of the Dark Night God believe that the ruins were once the Dark Night God's residence, so they do not allow alien forces to open the ruins. They believe that one day an emissary chosen by the Dark Night God will come to the ruins and uncover the Dark Night God's miracle."
"The God of Night?" Cheng Huaijin asked, looking at the dark space outside the airship. "Is it considered their religion?"
Bubble said, "According to Earth's religious perspective, there is no religion on Long Night Star. The Dark Night God is a belief on Long Night Star. Believers believe that the Dark Night God is the master of darkness and the creator of Long Night Star. They respect the Dark Night God and will perform prayers and rituals near the ruins, hoping to receive divine guidance and protection. But they never believe any instructions that appear in the name of the Dark Night God."
Cheng Huaijin asked, "Then can I understand it as... retail investors? Everyone is ignoring everyone else, and besides believing in the existence of the Dark God, they don't believe in any other nonsense doctrines or rules?"
Bubble nodded: "That's about right."
Cheng Huaijin: ...The people of Changye Star are so hard to understand.
She turned to look at the endless darkness outside the airship. She hadn't expected that long-distance interplanetary travel would be so boring. The universe was so dark, and she could only occasionally pass by a few planets. It was really nothing special.
"Passengers aboard interstellar flight X, we have arrived at Long Night Star..." The airship's announcement rang out. We've finally arrived!
Cheng Huaijin sprang to his feet with a somersault, looking expectantly at the Long Night Star, which was known as the "Eternal Night".
The people of the Long Night Star have very fair skin, but they hate their skin color, so many of them have tattoos on their skin.
Therefore, in Cheng Huaijin's eyes, these people with tattoos all over their faces really looked like a gang of thugs!
It's scary to watch.
Cheng Huaijin was greeted by local staff from the Oriental Beast Taming Club, who then led her into the club.
"Ms. Cheng, there's still a week until the competition starts. You are welcome to use the club's facilities and equipment as you wish. If you'd like to go out for sightseeing, please contact me, and we will send a professional tour guide to accompany you," the staff member said politely.
"Okay, thank you. I'll contact you again if I need anything. Go back and get some rest." Cheng Huaijin smiled and waved goodbye to the staff member.
The planet Changye has no distinction between day and night; it is perpetually dark. There is a street lamp at regular intervals on the ground, powered by an energy source from the ruins.
Unable to distinguish between day and night, the people of the Long Night Star use the lighthouse to differentiate their activity and rest times.
It was still event time.
Cheng Huaijin had just arrived on Changye Star and was still excited when he took Xue Bingna out for a stroll.
It's perfectly safe to just stroll around the club area.
...That's premature.
Cheng Huaijin looked around and confirmed that she was indeed the only one there.
Two beast tamers are hunting down a pet beast ahead.
It's not uncommon for beast tamers to challenge wild beasts. Besides hatching beast eggs, beast tamers can also form battle contracts with beasts in the wild.
However, proper contracts are all one-on-one battles. The beast tamer can form a contract if they win, but there is also a certain chance of failure.
It's hardly honorable for these two beast tamers to be hunting down a single pet.
However, since this is Changye Star, Cheng Huaijin didn't want to cause trouble for himself. It would be better to go directly to the security team. By the way, Changye Star doesn't seem to be called that...
Just as Cheng Huaijin was about to turn and leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the tattoo on the arm of one of the beast tamers.
The lion with its right eye gouged out is roaring, with an inverted cross hanging above its head.
A blind lion, the symbol of the Colosseum.
An inverted cross, the Hunters organization.
Cheng Huaijin still had some unsolved mysteries in his heart, about Song Siyun, the Flaming Wolf... and Wu Yutao and Wu Nian.
After the Wu family feud, Wu Nian seemed to have vanished into thin air and could not be found again.
Cheng Huaijin appeared indifferent, but she was actually very confused. Without any clues, no matter how much she wanted to know the truth, she had no way to begin.
The reappearance of members of the Hunters organization seems to be related to the Colosseum.
This is a trivial matter that needs to be addressed.
