Chapter 330: The Secret of Bai Shihang’s Origin
“Crazy, crazy!”

“It’s crazy!”

“How dare you believe this?!”

“The latest spectral analysis results of Mercury are out. It’s really full of water! It’s all liquid water!”

“This unscientific!”

For the experts at the observatory, this news was as shocking as the end of physics and even more incomprehensible than the emergence of the extraordinary.

Because according to the current theoretical model, it is impossible to explain this phenomenon. Does that mean that the physics that humans think they are constantly exploring is actually built on a magician’s balance stage, which can be knocked down by applying a slight force?

The news first broke out in high-end astronomical circles. Due to its seriousness, the news was blocked, but it inevitably flowed to other circles and slowly formed an incredible legend.

However, because it is quite difficult to observe Mercury, as long as the official agencies refuse to say anything, the public will only remain skeptical.

The cause of all this is the recent great elongation of Mercury.

Observatories in various countries conducted observations as per usual practice, but unexpectedly discovered that something seemed to be wrong with Mercury.

How come the once vaguely mottled surface has become so smooth.

Something is also wrong with the spectrum.

Then it was taken for spectral analysis and it was concluded that the surface of Mercury is currently covered by liquid water.

My first reaction when the results came out was that the machine was broken.

The second reaction is that the observational data is contaminated.

The third reaction is where the theory is missing.

Until all impossibilities are eliminated, the most incredible answer left is the truth.

But this is impossible!
How can liquid water exist on a planet that is about to be locked by the sun, with a temperature of over 400 degrees during the day and over minus 100 degrees at night!
It has long been sucked away by the little goblin, the sun!

However, this is the reality. Fortunately, Mercury is relatively close to the Earth, and we can still see the blurry surface with our best efforts, which verifies the authenticity of the spectral data.

In addition to the water covering the surface, astronomers also discovered unusual amounts of oxygen and nitrogen gases in the atmospheric spectrum.

Although it seems very weak compared to the earth, it is originally almost nothing!

Those with quick minds have already made the connection.

Water, atmosphere, oxygen. How did these somehow come together to form part of the necessary foundations for mainstream life forms known to mankind?

The next step won’t be that an alien will come out and say hello to them.

In addition to these two major news, it was also observed that Mercury’s semi-locked state by the Sun is slowly disappearing, Mercury’s rotation is recovering, its core that had been dead for many years seems to be restarting, and the planet’s magnetic field is returning.

Amei’s MESSENGER 2 suddenly became the number one hot commodity in the astronomical world.

A large number of requests to study recent data from MESSENGER 2 were sent to Amei.

Unfortunately, the probe satellite completely lost contact two weeks ago, and NASA’s many attempts to wake it up have all failed.

Because MESSENGER 2 was instantly smashed into scrap metal and thrown onto the surface of the planet by Klaus, most of its instruments were damaged when it was hit, and there was no feedback of process data at all, which led to their current suspicion that MESSENGER 2 had a malfunction and lost contact.

But at this time, Amei said that the Messenger 2 had lost contact long ago, which seemed too deliberate. At least many people did not believe it and thought that the other party was taking advantage of the situation.

But those who know the truth are trembling.

Mercury showed changes, and the only artificial satellite unexpectedly lost contact just before the changes. It seems like a coincidence no matter how you think about it. When there are too many coincidences in one thing, it is probably because someone is pushing it.

But who can make such exaggerated changes to Mercury? It seems that a large number of cosmological constant models are all invalid on Mercury, and all great powers are concentrated here. The only one who can do all this is the legendary “God’s Pusher”.

Earth is arguing over Mercury’s changes.

However, Xiao Ke himself had secretly returned to Earth, and implementing the idea that it was not stealing as long as no one found out, he selected a group of lucky people and sent them back to Mercury.

Because the oxygen content in the water is too low, Xiao Ke, who has been studying hard for a few days, found a batch of blue algae and plankton and plants that do not need too much oxygen to survive.

As long as these things become rampant, Xiao Ke can release more advanced animals in the ecological chain.

When the ecological chain becomes gradually stable, she will put two kinds of special fish with strong adaptability bred by Bai Shihang for her into it. In this way, with time, the basic ecological environment of this ocean planet will be formed.

Being a Creator for the first time is like being a parent for the first time. Every day you are eager to see your child grow up, but it is impossible to see results so quickly. Unfortunately, there is not even a fish in the vast ocean, and you can’t even catch a small fish.

However, Xiao Ke’s ability to create is dependent on Bai Shihang. After she chose to become the star god of Mercury, she can share a bit of power from Bai Shihang.

Therefore, creating a real living being is a very difficult thing for her at the moment.

Moreover, Bai Shihang also warned her that impatient actions might bring disaster to the entire ecosystem, and everything would have to start all over again.

When saying this, Xiao Ke seemed to feel that his master had remembered something.

“Master, Master, do you think there is life on every planet?”

Apart from guarding his Mercury, Xiao Ke now goes to heaven every few days to chat with Bai Shihang.

“Did you see the little fish in Jupiter?”

Bai Shihang exposed Xiao Ke’s inner thoughts.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke also admitted it directly. She recalled that when she was discovered stealing water from Ganymede, she looked deep into Jupiter and saw some kind of creature “swimming” in the thick atmosphere. In terms of size, it was not inferior to her.

But her name is Xiao Ke, so it doesn’t seem difficult to understand why those creatures are called Xiao Yu.

“Well since you are interested in life, let me tell you a story.”

“I have told this story to several people before, but now, they have probably become part of the story.”

Bai Shihang casually called for a chair and Xiao Ke sat down obediently.

“Will I become a character in the master’s story in the future?” Xiao Ke asked curiously.

“Who knows what will happen in the future.” Bai Shihang shook his head and began to tell a story that he had told to many beings, but some were long and some were short. Just as he said, after listening to the story, some beings also became new stories in the ruthless time.

However, Shiraishi Hang was only prepared to give a brief talk.

“In the age of the universe, collisions between galaxies occurred from time to time. At that time, the first generation of stars were slowly approaching the end of their evolution. At the end of their lives, they bloomed like fireworks, providing the most dazzling light for their own end and also providing new nutrients for the evolution of subsequent stars.”

“During this continuous explosion, whether by chance or necessity, after another ordinary supernova explosion, a group of thinking energy was inexplicably born in this universe.” “When he was just born, he was unable to think in a complex way. If a second-generation star had not appeared near him, he might even disappear with the passage of time.”

“But he was lucky after all. The abundant nutrients made the molecular cloud here form a dense area and collapse. Then, under the disturbance and attraction of gravity, stars formed rapidly. So in the blink of an eye, a new star was born.”

“This is a blue supergiant star. The violent reaction produced tremendous energy. After existing quietly in the cold universe for a long time, he finally developed a trace of instinct in the hot energy. No, it is not appropriate to say instinct, because he has no genetic inheritance. So, this is more like a need that he has learned without a teacher. He can feel that this warm star has everything he needs.”

“So, he attached himself to the blue supergiant star without hesitation, almost greedily absorbing the energy that seemed to have no limit.”

“Slowly, as his energy increased and his thinking deepened, he was able to engage in some complex thinking. But at that time, he still couldn’t understand the universe. He thought that all beings were the same as himself, but they just had different means of communication. So he stayed on the planet he called [Dependence], constantly trying to send out energy shouts to Dependence itself and the endless universe, and expressed his desire to learn more about existence without hesitation.”

“With the energy of Dependence, his cry lasted for tens of millions of years. It was also during his cry that he gradually came to understand the meaning of loneliness.”

“The universe is huge, but there is no one being that can respond to him.”

“He might be the only one.”

“Then what is the meaning of his existence? The universe is so vast that it seems to have no end. He shouldn’t be the only one there. Maybe the other party just didn’t respond, or maybe his communication method was not correct. There are many excuses, and he can always find one to comfort himself.”

“The tremendous energy also means the price of life. One day, the burning of [Dependence] came to an end, and its body gradually became unstable, slowly transforming into a red supergiant.”

“He knew that Yicun was about to reach the end of its life. No matter what form Yicun took in the future, in his eyes, it would no longer be the same as before.”

“He had seen many such scenes in the thousands of years of screaming, and thought he had gotten used to it. But when something like this happened to Yicun, he had an inexplicable emotion, a strange feeling that he had never experienced before.”

“After saying goodbye, in the final supernova explosion, he did not resist and was obediently thrown out by the shock wave, faster than any material, and walked ahead of the nebula.”

“He wrapped a piece of gold that burst out from [Dependence] as a thought, and wandered towards the unknown distance, seeking an existence with which he could communicate.”

“I don’t know how many hundreds of millions of years have passed like this.”

“He passed through galaxies, saw countless gorgeous celestial bodies, visited countless stars, and sometimes even had fun gathering nebulae into the patterns he wanted to see.”

“When I encountered a blue supergiant star that looked similar, I also stopped and lingered, trying to seek a trace of warmth similar to that of [Dependence].”

“Until he landed in a star system that looked ordinary.”

“As always, he was unable to find any existence with which he could communicate on this young star. In his eyes, the energy of this star was a little low, so he did not even replenish his supplies and prepared to set off for the next star system.”

“But he didn’t expect that, in his inadvertent energy perception before he set off, those planets that he had almost never really paid attention to, with pitifully small masses and little energy, gave birth to the life he had always dreamed of, at least the life that could move independently.”

“He was ecstatic.”

“It turns out that it’s not that there is no life in the universe, but that his direction was wrong from the beginning.”

“He used himself as a sample and thought that only beings with similar or even higher energy could give birth to life, so he mostly looked for high-mass stars.”

“But I never expected that such a being could be born from those tiny planets that looked like dust.”

“He stayed, attached to this star that he had not originally liked, quietly observing the life rhythm of that star, and awkwardly used his own energy to lower the level again and again, carefully exerting influence on them.”

“Novice creators always make all kinds of hasty mistakes, but fortunately, the life on this planet is tenacious enough to withstand these almost destructive setbacks.”

“Billions of years passed, and when the first being with the ability to think prayed to the universe in awe, he was so excited that he accidentally used too much force, and a flood almost swept the planet, almost extinguishing the flame of wisdom.”

“He didn’t feel guilty, but just felt it was a pity, so he fabricated a body that could carry a little bit of his energy, and came to that planet to guide those lives that could think to live a better life.”

“Among them, there are some outstanding beings who gradually stand out among their peers, receive his gifts, and become gods praised by people.”

“He was like a billion-year-old child who had not grown up, and he also participated in this long-awaited exchange. His body was placed in the sun, silently absorbing energy.”

“But he overlooked that the sun is not one of those blue supergiants. The energy it provides is not enough for him to continue to grow. Instead, it will make him gradually weaker.”

“No matter how weak it is, it is still irresistible to the skinny monkeys on the planet.”

“But due to billions of years without companions, he was a little too merciful to those [gods].”

“Despite this, the gods people talked about still couldn’t resist the erosion of time, so they turned to him for help.”

“Although he wanted to grant them endless lifespan directly, his energy was not matched to that, and downgrading it would not be able to satisfy his purpose.”

“So, they need to be nurtured to the point where they can carry his energy, and this requires a host, or a dependency.”

“It’s just that unlike him who can leave at any time, once God is bound to a dependent, they will rise and fall together.”

“And the most suitable object for them to live on is naturally a planet.”

“But the number of suitable planets is limited, and he didn’t want to designate them directly, so he left the quota to them to allocate themselves.”

“Thus, a war between gods began.”

“You don’t need to know how much despicable things happened in this war. Anyway, the winner is born.”

“Although he was not happy with this process, he did not interfere in the end and granted the promised quota.”

“This gift consumed a great deal of his energy, and his true self even fell into a deep sleep, leaving only his human body and incomplete thoughts.”

“But greed is growing.”

“So, after some false reasons, the second war of gods broke out.”

“Although he had seen many intrigues and deceptions among humans, he only regarded them as some harmless shortcomings of this kind of life. But when the betrayal actually happened, he was not angry at all, but full of doubts.”

“How dare they?”

“What do we gain by killing his human body?”

“Planets cannot absorb energy from stars. That would lead to their own destruction. So, what do the rebels want?”

“After a short sleep, he gradually woke up, and then thought for a long time and came up with a guess.”

“Perhaps, in the life of human beings being chased by time, they are filled with fear of uncertainty about the future and hope to eliminate all uncontrollable existences.”

“Xiao Ke.”

“Ah! Yes! I’m here!”

“The story is over. Write me a 10,000-word reflection.”

“?!”
