Chapter 70 Seventy Nights
Xenomorph
After the Y4162 star field anomaly broke out, the news that the magnetic field center of the entire star field had changed and the pollution in the star field had been purified quickly swept across the Fiklan Empire. Even the Federation got the news and sent people to inquire.
Not only is this true, but subsequent investigations and research have shown that as the initial shock wave from the Y4162 star field was sent deep into the universe, pollution levels in various locations began to change subtly.
The closer you are to the Y4162 star field, the more obvious the changes are.
Because the Y4162 star field is on the edge of the Fiklan Empire and also borders the Federation, the Federation has also noticed such changes.
People who don't know the inside story just think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his people have done some amazing research in the Y4162 star field and have made tremendous progress, which has brought about such changes that affect the entire world.
Those who know a little about the situation probably understand that this change is most likely related to Yun Wanwan.
Not to mention those who witnessed the incident with their own eyes, it was clear as day.
But Yun Wanwan refused to talk about what happened on the main planet. When asked, she just smiled faintly, with a meaningful look that made people scratch their heads - Wu Yan was mentioned here.
"Alright." Morris smiled and pulled Wu Yan back. "If Wanwan wants to talk to you, she'll tell you directly. If she's avoiding the topic, it means she can't let you know. You'll get nowhere if you keep asking."
"I'm just anxious."
Who doesn't want to know what happened? Who doesn't want to replicate the miracle of the Y4162 star field and lead the universe into a pollution-free era again?
But Yun Wanwan didn't say anything, which means that not everyone can do this.
It’s not that Yun Wanwan didn’t want to say it, it’s just that she hadn’t figured out how to say it.
It’s better not to let others know that there is a core on the main star easily. She has already digested half of the core.
She saw some strange information from the consciousness of the star core, and she couldn't find where to start.
"Mr. Morris, do alien species still frequently appear on the external fronts of the Federation and the Empire? You've been in close contact with alien species. What are your thoughts on them?"
Aliens, the existence that poses the greatest threat to humans in this world.
The former federal marshal, Lord Morris, who was like an interstellar god of war, was seriously injured and died in a battle against alien species.
It was also because of Morris's sacrifice that the interstellar space ushered in this brief twenty years of peace, and there were no more wars caused by large-scale alien invasions.
But this pollution has always been with us and is even getting worse.
"Alien?" Morris seemed to be in a daze for a moment, as if he had not expected Yun Wanwan to suddenly bring up this question. "It's too far away. I can hardly remember what an alien looks like."
Morris looked down at his palms. "The days of fighting like that are too far away for me."
It was a miracle that he was still alive all these years. The days when he fought as a strong man were indeed too far away, and his memories seemed blurred.
"The origins of these alien species are unknown. It's as if they suddenly tore the universe apart and descended from the gap, devouring everything they see, whether it's mutated plants, animals, or humans. Even mechas, starships, and planets can't escape their clutches."
"The energy we rely on for survival is also being eroded bit by bit by them."
When humans first encountered alien species, their energy weapons were vulnerable to them. Instead, the attacks caused by energy would be absorbed by the alien species, strengthening their own energy.
Things didn't turn around until they discovered that only the mental power of those with mutated abilities could barely fight against the alien species, and they were unilaterally devoured and slaughtered by the alien species.
However, mental power is not infinite. The result of using mental power to fight is that the mental power will be eroded bit by bit by alien species. Coupled with the invasion of pollution, most ordinary soldiers fighting on the front line cannot hold on for too long.
However, healing mental power is too rare, and even if it exists, it is difficult to support the treatment of so many people.
The speed of human evolution is still a little too slow.
In front of alien species that are not afraid of death or pain and can devour anything and turn it into their own strength, humans are indeed too weak.
The battle twenty years ago was not only the downfall of Morris, but also a nightmare for mankind.
The huge alien species are overwhelming and can devour an entire planet in one bite.
Starships, mechas, and humans are all as small as dust in front of it.
In the end, it was Morris who launched a suicidal attack, using his own mental power to kill himself and the alien species, closing the huge rift that had not been seen in hundreds of years and preventing the emergence of subsequent alien species.
Twenty years of peace.
"Sir Morris, how about I check your physical condition again?"
"Trouble late."
It had been some time since the last treatment and examination, so it seemed reasonable for Yun Wanwan to propose a physical examination for Morris. However, considering what had happened before and what Yun Wanwan had just said, it didn't seem right.
Wu Yan frowned and looked at Yun Wanwan and Morris. The examination and treatment were no different from before, but his sensitive intuition could sense that the atmosphere between the two was not right.
Although nothing was said, the two seemed to have exchanged a lot of information that he didn't know.
Completely excluded.
As Yun Wanwan withdrew her hand, Wu Yan decided not to endure it any longer. He crossed his arms and asked, "So, what did you guys share that I don't know, or that you don't want me to know?"
Morris looked at Yun Wanwan with a smile, "Actually, I want to know too."
Yun Wanwan rubbed her fingers together, her usually calm eyes suddenly becoming a little deep. "Sir Morris, do you really want to know?"
"But it's okay."
"This incident on the main planet was somewhat of an adventure, and it also gave me some additional information."
Yun Wanwan pursed her lips, as if thinking about what to say next.
"As for the way alien species appear, we've always believed that they appear through special fissure channels, but we've never been able to find the pattern or reason behind the appearance of these channels."
"It's not that we haven't found anything." Morris continued to smile. "The Federation has long since conducted research showing that the emergence of alien rifts is closely related to pollution. It's just that there hasn't been sufficient theoretical evidence to prove the connection between pollution and alien species."
When pollution reaches a certain concentration, alien fissures will appear, and alien species can devour the pollution, as if following the scent of pollution. However, after the alien species dies, it does not produce strong pollution, but instead turns into pure energy.
"If the xenomorphs are merely captive energy aggregates that feed on pollution, then it's understandable from time to time?"
"Raise? Who?"
Yun Wanwan raised her hand and pointed to the sky, "We are not alone in this world."
"It can probably be understood as creatures from other planes? Higher-order organisms that graze alien species on various planes, feeding on pollution and other resources, producing energy aggregates for them."
"We, humans, and everything in this universe are nothing more than food for the aliens."
Morris nodded. "I understand."
Yun Wanwan's fingers slid gently downwards, her fingertips pointing at Morris.
"Your Excellency just mentioned that Federation research shows that when pollution reaches a certain level, alien rifts will appear. Therefore, over the years, both the Empire and the Federation have been committed to reducing pollution levels. The hope is that as long as pollution levels do not reach the threshold, alien rifts will not appear."
"Those alien cracks are actually one after another.
璍
A portal."
"Then have you ever thought that mental pollution is also a form of pollution?"
Morris could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
Wu Yan's expression changed drastically. "What do you mean?"
"My point is very simple. Since a portal can be opened when pollution reaches a certain level, does mental pollution have the same effect?"
Morris sighed softly, as if echoing Yun Wanwan's guess.
"I'm not sure. Ever since my sea of consciousness was shattered, my mental power has been like a dead sea. I can't feel much. But I have an instinctive guess that my sea of consciousness isn't normal." Morris laughed. "How can a shattered sea of consciousness be normal?"
The diagnosis and treatment cabin could not find any abnormalities, and there was no mental therapist with strong enough powers to provide reference, so Morris's uneasiness was just uneasiness.
Now that Yun Wanwan suddenly brought it up, it was like another boot had finally fallen on my head.
Morris smiled and shook his head, feeling relieved. "So, did Wanwan just notice something?"
"Although it's not certain on the surface, I don't think it's a good thing."
Before, his cultivation was not deep, and even though his spiritual sense was strong, he still lacked something if he wanted to explore Morris's broken sea of consciousness, which was like an abyss. He used all his strength to only prevent Morris's sea of consciousness from further deteriorating, which was already a miraculous treatment.
Now that he has advanced to the foundation-building stage, he has liberated a lot more spiritual consciousness, so it is natural that he discovered something different in the abyss of Morris's sea of consciousness.
Alien.
Or a seed.
"Mr. Morris, have you ever had nightmares over the years?"
Nightmare?
Of course I did.
Especially during the first few years after his sea of consciousness was shattered, Morris was devoured by nightmares every day, as if there was a huge abyss in his sea of consciousness, devouring his broken consciousness all the time.
The roars, groans, and calls from the distant abyss tormented him all the time.
Later, his sea of consciousness was completely shattered, and he could no longer feel or hear.
"Now it seems that this is not an improvement, but a terminal illness?"
Yun Wanwan didn't say anything.
Morris had other guesses. "Wanwan, tell me the truth, are you doubting right now whether I am still Morris?"
If his sea of consciousness was really invaded by alien species from the very beginning, then it is very likely that he is no longer himself now.
It’s a pity that he doesn’t know it yet.
"That's not the case." Turning her head to glance at Wu Yan, who was already spinning around anxiously, Yun Wanwan smiled and said, "Sir Morris is more powerful than I thought."
He is worthy of being called the God of Interstellar War, the strongest man in the Federation, and he has countless followers in the Empire.
Even though his sea of consciousness was shattered and his mental strength disappeared, he relied on his instinctive self-awareness to completely suppress the alien species living in his sea of consciousness.
The abyss in the sea of consciousness not only tore apart Morris's mental power, but also suppressed the opening of the alien rift.
"So, I can still be saved?" Morris imitated Yun Wanwan and tilted his head. "This is a pleasant surprise."
"I never said you were hopeless, sir!"
