My Bottle Cosmos-Chapter 575 - 540: The Peculiar Dark Civilization and the Probe
The discovery of a new dark matter civilization surprised Li Qing slightly, "Am I actually quite lucky?"
He was only planning to poke a hundred million tiny holes in the cosmos. π§ππππΈπ¦π£πππ·ππ.π€π°π
He didn't think it was a big deal.
Just like on Earth, directly poking a hundred million grain-sized holes evenly across mountains, oceans, and forestsβeven if all of humanity were to search for them, could they be found?
And the universe is far, far larger than Earth.
The Milky Way alone has two hundred billion stars; these hundred million small holes appear insignificant even within the Milky Way, let alone the entire cosmos.
To this day, Li Qing has had the super space-time minecart wildly jump around a hundred million places to dig and poke, yet hasn't accidentally encountered a divine level civilization in the cosmos; this shows just how difficult it is!
If he hadn't opened the holes, constantly broadcasting towards the subspace region, those outside, given a hundred million years, might not naturally find the entrance.
Li Qing took a rough glance.
He discovered that opposite pit number 19835, there indeed might be a relatively large dark matter shadow mass, concealed in the void. A torch was needed to confirm its identity to observe the other side.
After just a few glances, Li Qing was almost certain.
Just like the Sicily dark matter cosmic from before, unobservable and untouchable, existing in higher dimensions, needing a torch to see the entirety of their star sea and cosmic existence.
The civilization's total matter is substantial, which basically represents the civilization's strength.
After all, development requires wealth; without it and with all the time in the world, one is just a small Divine Upper-level fish, stranded and floundering in subspace.
"Sure enough, this universe is still vast and boundless." Li Qing started planning to explore the opponent's depths.
Back home, those three psychiatric hospitals are fine, as they are mainly his core powers. Letting Atabia attack is just internal strife to conveniently push forward the era, but encountering this is an external war.
"Let's see their past."
Li Qing's eyes were icy cold as vast amounts of data quickly surfaced.
He read data on the timeline, watching the history of this shadow mass.
In his eyes, every moment seemed to appear like a miniature cosmosβcountless time bubbles floated in his eyes. Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, thirty thousand years... a full billion years of reading, yet it was still a vast shadow, unmoving.
He quickly stopped, exhaled, and was exhausted.
The range of this universe is comparable to a galaxy; its mass is too colossal, and observing it consumes vastly more than those previous small fish Divine Upper-level civilizations.
He only looked back ten billion years and was exhausted; it's still a shadow, unable to see the early stages, so this method is clearly infeasible.
"Can't spy on them with time, still need to use a torch, huh?"
Li Qing showed a hint of hesitation.
Time is not omnipotent.
But lighting a torch in darkness illuminates others, and they can see you holding the torch.
Li Qing doesn't want to foolishly run to look with a torch, only to stare blankly with an opponent. What if they are a father-level civilization and kill him on the spot?
"I need to modify the torch!"
"Flame, huh? Just so happens I have preliminary flame rule diagrams!"
"Twist the underlying parameter code, construct an unbelievable flame physics formula, mind is principle."
Li Qing switched attributes, from the Time God to the Flame Ancient God. Although his access is incomplete, using the flame series is not difficult for him.
In just a few days, the preliminary new rule torch appeared before him.
This torch is an invisible ghost flame; raising it can illuminate others, but they cannot see you holding it. The observational scope of the torch has become very broad, as if lifting a huge sun, the circle of light covers the entire range of a solar system.
With this torch, it would be much easier to either sneak attack or spy in the future.
"About sufficient." Li Qing exhaled, creating a single cell on his palm that continuously evolved, eventually devouring weaker organisms to enhance his permanent qualifications, leaving only one existence to become a Divine Upper undying level avatar.
This avatar raised the torch, entering the unobservable, untouchable level, stealthily entering this shadow mass.
Whoosh.
Ripples rolled.
He saw a splendid mysterious garden.
Countless planets were crowded together, countless civilizations, endless races, vibrant and bustling.
He raised the torch high, his untouchable self passing through these planets, continuing to stride forward, each step traversing a star sea, hundreds of planets.
He was observing the civilizations in this region.
He walked all the way, witnessing endless mechanical armies, high-energy Divine Upper mechas, planets filled with technology and fantasy.
It seemed no different from the Sicily dark matter cosmic before.
Li Qing raised the torch and continued to stroll, traversing planet after planet, this Giant eventually overlooking the cities on each planet, frowning silently:
"Is this simply another straightforward second dark matter civilization?"
He went on walking and observing, spending a week continuously jumping, but even with his torch lighting up a solar system-sized war fog, it was still a drop in the bucket for this vast land.
He explored less than 0.0001% of the area.
"In the end, I'm still lacking energy."
