Chapter 105 Life and Death Date
But soon, Su Xi could no longer cry out "pain".
Driven by the enthusiasm of the alpha hormone, the immature omega glands began to gradually lose their initial greenness and gradually exude the sweet smell of maturity. Under the genetic instinct of the omega constitution, Su Xi gradually felt a kind of pleasure other than pain.
And feel the clear, carefully nurtured feelings. Through his soft patting hands, his warm chest, his clumsy comfort of a peck or a kiss, she understands it all without words.
The cycle of life and death that she had felt in the planetary resonance a moment ago, the suffering that refused to cry out... and the pain of knowing the truth but being unable to return... were all marked in such a blunt way that it hurt her, yet so gentle and clumsy that it made her cry. Su Xi's negative emotions subsided little by little.
In the experience of completely opening up her senses due to trust, her consciousness completely returned to the state of reality.
The A-signs intertwined with each other in the air, slowly spreading and filling the entire narrow core cabin.
Su Xi raised her hand and pulled the head that was buried in her neck and lingering on kisses. Fitzgerald slightly satisfied his alpha's desire to mark, and then he restrained himself and stopped, feeling the subtle reminder from the omega in his arms.
He turned his head and glanced at the liquid silver insect armor hanging high on his neck, which transformed into a sharp curved knife, and the insect armor shield that was winding on the ground and was already in a full defense state. That was the subconscious stress reaction of the cute omga when he bit it for the first time. The red-haired alpha looked back and chuckled.
"You don't want to hurt me?"
He licked his bloody lips, looked at her red and angry eyes, and thought that she didn't know that he was angry now, which only made her look softer and easier to bully. The red-haired alpha smirked and kissed her sweaty forehead. He didn't mind that his omega was so ferocious. In short, whether she was obedient or fierce, he liked her very much.
Su Xi pushed his chin open with one finger and spoke in a dry voice. After a moment of silence, she only said, "I'm back."
"Welcome back." He said hoarsely, leaning against her slightly sweaty forehead, "It's great."
"Don't do this next time. It's too dangerous." Su Xi said very seriously, stroking his eyebrows with her fingers.
"Then you have to promise not to leave." Fitzgerald bent down and licked the hot, freshly baked tooth mark again, narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and then stopped teasing her.
Because that critical 'leap point' is coming.
His grasp of time was as precise as ever. As expected, a cold mechanical voice rang out in the core module: "The second wave of star delivery has been activated, the acceleration ring is activated, and there are only fifteen minutes left before the critical reaction of 'supernova compression'."
"Please confirm the switch to the biological engine and prepare the migration procedure."
Fitzgerald diverted some of his attention and switched the fully automatic program of the core module to manual operation. Although he was just addicted to the mark and the fragrance and softness of the omega, in Su Xi's eyes, the alpha who turned his attention to business also had a serious and earnest charm.
"Fitz," Suxi called him by his nickname, "What will happen to this planet in the final stage of the star explosion?"
He looked down at her and responded seriously, "Are you asking what will happen to the 'planetary consciousness'?"
"right."
"Whether it's 'planetary consciousness' or 'cosmic consciousness', they are not something that can be understood by human experience. They are more like a non-material form of 'pure energy'. To them, 'life' and 'death' in human cognition are -"
Fitzgerald smiled and said, "It's just a different form of existence. It dissipates at this moment, and recomposes in another form in the next moment of the universe's birth."
"Then why can I feel its 'pain' in the resonance?"
"Human emotions are a very 'narrow' consciousness band. On the scale of the planet and the universe, the consciousness band is too broad to make the so-called 'sadness' and 'joy' of humans just momentary feelings that are not worth paying attention to."
"If it wants to reach you and you actively try to reach it, it can only narrow its own wavelength and increase the intense polarization that human consciousness can comprehend."
Su Xi was thoughtful, but Fitzgerald's expression changed slightly: "If you had just chosen to assimilate with the planetary consciousness, then you would have been able to preserve the 'complete' feeling, rather than the two categories of 'sadness' and 'joy' that can only be felt in the narrow band consciousness of humans."
"Do you... regret it?"
"What do you regret?"
"It's a pity that we lost this opportunity to evolve into a higher level of life."
The red-haired alpha stared at her closely, and Su Xi saw a hint of uncertainty in the depths of his eyes.
Su Xi laughed and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the red-haired alpha. He pursed his lips and said, "Listen, even if you regret it, I will stop you."
Without waiting for Su Xi to respond again.
The quantum clock ticked softly, beginning the final five-minute countdown.
The conversation between the two was interrupted, and Fitzgerald turned around and walked to the operating table.
At this depth of diving that gradually sinks into the outer crust, under the ground pressure that is enough to destroy any body strength -
At this moment, there are still four minutes and thirty seconds left until the last moment of the second wave of star explosions.
Su Xi walked over and hugged the alpha's lonely back.
She said softly, "It's a pity, a little bit."
Then she felt the broad back muscles tense under her palms. She put her face close to him and smiled, saying, "I'd be even more regretful if I couldn't feel your body temperature like this again."
Facts have proven that omegas have higher emotional intelligence than alphas. Feeling the alpha's tall and strong body gradually relax under her palm, Su Xi, who has perfected her hair-stroking skills, is contentedly enjoying the atmosphere of mutual understanding at the moment.
The quantum clock ticks softly, and there is only one minute and fifteen seconds left...
"You said you would take me to the Tomb of the Universe, where all the 'truth' and the rules of this world are."
"I want to go."
Su Xi looked up at the sky that didn't exist.
Then she revealed an eager, determined look: "I want to know the 'rules' of this world." She looked down at her hands, thinking back to when she first came to this world, and had inquired about the billions of brilliant light-year changes in the hands of the Sun-Swallowing Star Transcendence Hall.
The miniature image of the entire universe seemed to breathe in and out as if it were alive in her hands.
After touching the essence of this universe, she developed ambitions.
Fitzgerald turned to look at her, intoxicated by the indescribable brilliance she was emitting at that moment. He chuckled with pleasure, held her hand, and kissed the back of her hand devoutly:
"good."
"As you wish, for your driving."
The only one in my life——
Star-shaped rose.
The quantum clock ticked softly, entering the final countdown——
10, 9…6…3…
The final moment arrived, the two snuggled together, and Su Xi felt as if she was waiting to watch a rare fireworks display.
Life and death are not such important matters.
They are all different stages and forms of life.
What matters is who you are with at this moment, at this time.

At this moment, what is happening in the Great Wilderness Star Region is a "supernova flash" that shines brightly in the entire universe.
If there were no antimatter isolation zone to block it, these initial flashes of dazzling light would be faithfully recorded for the first time at the adjacent First Fortress observation point a year and a half later; and they would reach the border of the Alpha Galaxy only seventy-five years later; as for reaching the border of the Central Galaxy, it would take at least a hundred years.
The gorgeous beauty of the universe and the cruel fireworks of life and death.
If it weren't for this sudden "stellar explosion", the originally dead white dwarf would have waited for the last fuel to be exhausted in a long process, and would have long and hopelessly slid into the end of a black dwarf. However, under the current human intervention, the dense core of the white dwarf was broken and collapsed, and the stellar nuclear reaction was restarted. Under the blessing of the second wave of explosions, the star that was expanding into a red dwarf was artificially forced to transform into a small supernova.
A supernova flashed and was born, and the dead white dwarf in the Great Wilderness Star Region completed the entire process of being forced to reignite.
The shock wave produced by the supernova passed through all the planetary belts originally within the gravitational range of the white dwarf, instantly destroying the insect planets that had not yet had time to migrate away, and the dragon defenses surrounding the planets were annihilated by the impact of stellar-level energy.
Only the Zerg Star 'Heavy Tank' barely withstood the impact of the supernova explosion, and after quickly reorganizing the remaining forces of the Zerg race, it managed to crash into the planet BV32-II and devour it!
If we can bring back the golden larvae that have absorbed the energy of the planet's consciousness, the Zerg race won't be considered a complete failure!
What about humans? The interstellar fleet on the mission quickly returned to the Expedition before the first shock wave of the supernova arrived.
In the subsequent process, more than half of the mass of the planet BV32-II was ruthlessly torn apart by the shock wave of the supernova. The peeled-off half of the planetary mass, like a melting snowball, dispersed in the entire dark universe along with the nebula material.
When the reaction reached the planet's core, a burst of golden energy erupted violently from deep within the core. The golden larvae that had devoured the energy of the planet's consciousness had their energy drained away and were turned into ashes and annihilated.
In response to the resonance of a certain "existence", the 'planetary consciousness' precisely mobilized all the energy of the planet, surging and converging to face the shock wave of the supernova explosion head-on!
Boom!
It was a silent yet powerful energy confrontation that was enough to distort time and space!
而此刻行星的內地核深處，瑰麗龐大的行星意識體中，漂浮停泊着一個小小的人類逃生艙。
*
從離這裏最近的、第一要塞軍事觀測點的角度來看。
剛才那一道耀眼奪目的光，只是超新星爆發的第一次閃爍而已。很快的，在第一次閃爍尚未停息時，第二次、第三次……毫不停歇的閃爍的速度越來越快。
第一要塞此刻尚未執行任務的所有軍民都擡頭望向了大荒星域的方向，如此‘快閃’的頻率，正是人工制造的恒星炸彈所獨有的特征。
第一要塞知情的指揮中心此刻一片慶賀的歡騰。
當超新星爆發持續攪毀大荒星域的同時，位于第七行星帶的遠征號，收到了一個微弱的信號，然後就毫不猶豫的啓動躍遷退出了大荒星域反物質隔離帶之外。
而被阻隔在第六行星帶的三顆‘蟲星’則全部未逃脫超新星爆發的能量撕裂，即刻煙消雲散。
反而是被重新‘重坦’以及七條飛龍嚴密包裹着的行星BV32-II幸存得最完整，但就算如此，在恐怖的星系撕裂的能量波及下，除了地核的殘餘物奇跡般的保持完整之外，其餘的行星質量全變成了一堆氣體和塵埃。
并跟恒星星雲中的散逸物混雜結合在一起，在荒蕪的大荒星域徹底毀滅之後，最終一片迷蒙的星雲物質。
正是這些殘餘物質，這些碳、氮、氧、氫等等重要的構築生命的基礎物質，既是重新徹底的死亡散逸，又是再次新生的輪回開始。
核心艙中。
菲茨傑拉德低頭，指着光幕中AI所模拟出來的大荒星域億萬年後的複生的進展，對身旁并肩而立的omega說：“你看。對死亡恒星的徹底爆破，将給這片星域一個重新開始的機會。”
“你完成了你的承諾，将不再欠祂什麽。”
蘇熙伸出手，走向光幕中的行星運轉的星圖。星光拂過她臉龐，在她發間跳躍。
然後她轉身，隔着光幕中億萬明明滅滅的恒星運轉，棕發omega眉眼彎彎，眼眸裏倒映着細碎的星光。
她說：“謝謝你，陪我冒險。”
*
遠在赫拉黑洞中，通過‘蟲網’感應着大荒星域進展的蟲族女皇，瞬間失去了大荒星域全部蟲族的視角。蟲網中奔赴大荒的‘光點’全部隕落。
女皇凄惶之下，幸而還有微弱的幾顆‘金色蟲卵’跟它保持着若有如無的聯系。
它略感安心，也只得作罷。
它無論如何也不明白，為何大荒星域的超新星爆發湮滅了一切，卻唯獨‘行星意識體’幸運的殘留了下來。
而它的那些吞噬‘行星生命體’部分能量的金色幼蟲，原本有很大概率能夠堅持到‘重坦’的救援，安然返回‘巢心’，卻在星系能量的對撞之中，全部湮滅？
為什麽？
是哪個環節起了變故？
它當然在金色幼蟲最後湮滅的視角中，注意到了那個小小的人類救生艙，但它并不認為這一切的變故會是那個小小的人類所造成。因為無論是從人類進化的極限，還是行星意識體能夠溝通的頻率，但不是一個‘人類’能夠擁有的能力。
那是來自高維度的，更高形式的‘生命存在’才能牽引出來的能量。
十分的、想不通。
百思不得其解的蟲族女皇感到了自身的衰竭，它必須徹底的陷入休眠的狀态來保持能量，在下一代女皇破殼而出之前，它不能死。
迅速在‘光網’中安排完一切。分配剩餘的伴生王蟲，各自領命守護蟲族最後的疆域。
至于那個‘行星意識體’，那麽就永遠把它困在混亂湮滅中的大荒星域吧。
女皇徹底下了決心，把這一代才進化出來的‘空間躍遷’的能力，徹底刻進了下一代女皇‘角逐者’的基因之中。這樣大荒星域隐沒在湮滅中的能量寶庫，只能等到蟲族的王者再臨，才能開啓它的全貌。
而毀掉大荒星域現有秩序的人類，将被永遠隔絕。
它打開了通往大荒星域其它最近的蟲道，輸送了第二批蟲星，但這次卻不是試圖挽救大荒星域的殘局，而是更徹底的，利用大質量蟲星的引力幹涉和自爆，使得大荒星域附近全是一片扭曲的時空。
如此一來，在人類所引發的人工超新星爆發未完全平息之前，這片扭曲的時空隔離帶，也不會消失。
做完這一切之後，蟲族女皇在巢心的最深處徹底陷入了沉眠。
它只能選擇沉眠，然後把一切交給‘天擇物競’的自然選擇。
直到它的後裔重新開啓‘巢心’，重現遠古蟲族最初的輝煌。
在它陷入沉眠的最後一幀視角，定格在了行星BV32-II剝離得只剩半顆地核的漂浮物上，被困在大荒星域恒星風暴與時間隔離之內，如同一顆彗星在這片星域重新分配的引力之中，漂浮旋轉。
*
而在隔絕了蟲族女皇的窺探，無法觸及的行星地核的深處。
一片瑰麗得如同夢幻的能量團之中，小小的人類核心艙浸潤在最中心的位置。停止了維生系統之外的所有能量運轉的核心艙，此刻切換成了落地的視窗模式。
蘇熙正站在寬大的舷窗前驚嘆着，以人類的視角，觀摩着‘行星意識’那神奇的律動方式。
一個高大的人影靠近了她，從她身後把嬌小的omega整個圈在了自己的懷裏，堅毅的下巴磨蹭着柔軟的發旋，他輕笑着說：“永遠不必說感謝。我很樂意與你一同見證所有的奇跡時刻。”
原本按菲茨傑拉德的計劃，在核心艙切換生物引擎後将按設定的程序，在爆破的瞬間借助重新蟲星‘重坦’的通道，殺出一條血路，并返回遠征號。
但在最後關頭，蘇熙卻發現自己無法對行星的呼喚視而不見，她提出主動的與行星同化。至少先幫‘祂’剝離正在吞噬能量的金色幼蟲。
菲茨傑拉德在取得她返回的承諾後，同意了。
随後核心艙繼續下潛到了地核深處，在地心的位置被‘行星意識體’瑰麗的能量包裹，蘇熙再次進入了與行星的共振狀态。
那決定性的三秒中，金色幼蟲被抽幹能量剝離出行星意識體之外，而恰逢超新星沖擊波抵達地心。
在與行星意識體完美的和鳴之中，他們進入了時間的零維度，避開了大荒星域毀滅式的爆炸。
但與此同時，蟲族女皇投擲的蟲星引力的幹涉下，他們也被困在了此刻死亡重生中的大荒星域。
“我們……”蘇熙咬咬嘴唇，回應般的抱緊了他緊箍在腰間的手，“還有能返回的希望嗎？”
在時間的零維度狀态之中，借由‘行星意識體’的龐大能量，他們處于一種絕對安全的狀态，但也如同一個封閉的雞蛋殼，永恒的被圍困在了靜止的時間狀态之中。
蘇熙有些不安，但她的不安不是來源與被圍困的恐慌，而是她深知身後緊擁着她的這個alpha他所背負的職責。
如果是面臨瞬間的生死，做出決策非常容易。
聽從本心就好，可是在這樣既短暫又永恒的‘時間囚籠’之中。無比漫長的時間總會讓一個人起變化，無論曾經多麽愛，多麽深愛，都無法抵禦時間的摧殘。
或許他前一刻拼盡生死，抛棄職責追随她而去，可在他們即将經歷消磨的漫長時間中，他會後悔嗎？
“你會後悔嗎？”
菲茨傑拉德很輕易的從她的動作、眼神、還有信息素中，感應到她猶豫而遲疑的擔憂。他低頭輕輕啃噬她細嫩的肩，然後幹脆把她轉過身來，抱起她就抵在了闊大透明的舷窗前，窗外行星意識體的能量散發着柔和瑰麗的光芒，把他懷裏這個嬌軟香甜的omega襯得更是如夢幻般的絕美。
他不答，只是低頭吻夠了之後，才在她耳邊呢喃着問她：“那你呢？無論是在短暫的此刻，還是以後漫長的生命之中，你都必須與我在一起。”
“無論或生、或死，無論以什麽樣的形态。”
“你會後悔嗎？”
蘇熙開口，嗓音暗啞嬌軟，“我不知道。”
她拿此刻在她身上到處作亂的alpha毫無辦法，遮得住這裏擋不住哪裏，早被扯得滾落到角落的黝黑蟲甲感應着她的情緒，一會兒應激般的豎起尖刺，一會兒又羞澀的顫抖成一團。而一向由她顯意識控制的銀色蟲甲，此刻卻安靜的躺在一邊。泛着冷光的兵刃上倒映着兩個糾纏的身影。
“嗯？”
“不知道？”埋頭享受的alpha發出一個不滿的冷哼，他任由她揉亂了一向梳理服帖的紅發，然後輕巧的捉住她抗議着擾他的手，牢牢的禁锢在頭頂，菲茨傑拉德這才慢慢的從溫香軟玉中擡起頭來。
In Su Xi's eyes, which had been bullied and turned red, he was lying with his red hair scattered, his strong chest half exposed, and he squinted his eyes with great pleasure, looking at her shy and trembling appearance under him. His always resolute and tough face now had the abstinence and cold look of the heir of the empire, full of the unruly and dangerous aura that is unique to males.
"Then I'll teach you."
He spoke in a hoarse voice and covered her gently again.
Outside the core module's spacious floor-to-ceiling portholes, the magnificent light of the planetary consciousness surged gently like a tide, blurring the two entangled figures in the core module and the teasing whispers between the lovers.
"Are you still going to say you don't know?"
Whether it was words or body movements, the red-haired alpha was strong, gentle, but extremely firm in his demands and inquiries, insisting that she make her feelings clear.
"Wuwuwu," Su Xi was almost tormented by this endless tenderness and cried. She covered her eyes with her hands, and under the strong actions and pressing questions, she couldn't help but whimper like a little beast in her throat, "No... I don't know..."
The whole process was blurry, and Su Xi didn't want to recall the nonsense she had been coaxed into saying. Under the final strong rhythm, she couldn't help but burst into tears, climbed up the other's sweaty shoulder and bit it.
The alpha's face, which was originally tightly closed in enjoyment, suddenly froze. Although her teeth were soft and light, the place she bit was very close to the gland in the back of her neck, and a trembling sense of threat stimulated him so much that his eyes immediately turned red.
The light and shadow outside the French window were swaying and chaotic. For Su Xi, this inexplicable teaching had finally come to an end.
"You are welcome to mark me, but omegas cannot bite," he pushed aside Su Xi's sweaty hair, kissed her extremely tired face with heartache, and whispered in a low voice with the intention of showing off: "There is another way, let's try it next time."
Pah—Su Xi slapped him, then curled up with her back to him. All she wanted now was to get a good night’s sleep.
Fitzgerald did not take it as an offense. Instead, he smiled and rubbed her hand. After taking out the sleeping bag from the space button, he lay down in her arms while she curled up like a shrimp.
He didn't really need this kind of pure sleep, he just simply enjoyed the feeling of holding her completely.
It is peaceful at this moment.
The red-haired alpha narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sensor in the core module closed the transparent view of the entire floor-to-ceiling porthole. The light of the planetary consciousness was still magnificent, and as the omega in the sleeping bag gradually fell into a deep sleep, it became calm and peaceful.
She fell asleep, and his mental chakras, which had recovered to full strength, began to operate slowly, and the ice-blue mental power began to spread out in strands.
The planetary consciousness that was isolated outside the core module began to violently fluctuate as if in response.
And in the vast star region outside the planet.
At this moment, it is a hellish scene with flames burning the stars and all things in chaos.
