Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution
Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Projection of the FirmamentChapter 71: Chapter 71: The Projection of the Firmament
The entire sky had transformed into a projection screen, astonishing the entire world.
In bases all over the world, people were looking up en masse at the distant sky, witnessing this scene that seemed like a miracle.
Even at the peak of human technology, no one had the ability to use the entire sky as a projection surface.
Moreover, these images were too realistic, not like projections, but rather like the legendary mirage of a Fata Morgana—except that a Fata Morgana could not be this clear, nor could it offer close-ups.
Most humans had taken this astounding scene for a Fata Morgana, but a select few knew that this was not any mirage, but rather a Firmament Projection System common in more advanced alien civilizations.
Those humans, the Mutators, who had been to technologically advanced alien planets, many had seen this kind of Firmament Projection System before, and their expressions were now uncertain.
The Firmament Projection System was only available in high-level civilizations, something that current human civilizations could not build.
The sudden appearance of the Firmament Projection System here made them worry if aliens had already come to this planet.
The current strength of humanity was not enough to fight against such civilized alien species, and should the alien species wage war, it could very well be an annihilating battle for humanity.
Super-Bases such as Tiancheng Base, Sea Corn Base, Wanderer Base, God’s Love Base, and others dispatched many people, all starting to search for the location of the Firmament Projection System.
They were both hoping to find and also not hoping to find the aliens, their emotions were quite complicated.
“Who are those people? The places in the mirage look so strange, where is that?”
“Look, why is the sun there blue?”
“Why are there so many perspectives? It’s like each person has an exclusive view, as if it’s being filmed following them. Can a Fata Morgana do that?”
“What is this thing after all? Who exactly are those people?”
Most people had such doubts, while the inhabitants of Yashen Base quickly recognized the Mutators from the Lu and Xu Families, which added to their puzzlement.
The Lu and Xu families reacted swiftly, dispatching people to the vicinity of Jinshui Lake as quickly as possible to investigate.
They soon saw the Realm King Cultivation Device, but not Xu Tiange, Lu Qing, or anyone else, and for a while, no one dared to touch the strange device.
Some tried to approach the device, but after a burst of alarm sounds, those who tried to get close were reduced to ashes by an erupting ring of light.
Those watching the images soon realized that the scenes in the sky were very much like an outdoor survival show, with each person encountering different Base Variant Creatures in that dangerous place.
What they found inconceivable was that the Base Variant Creatures there were all unfamiliar to them, and several different mutated creatures had appeared in different places in just a few hours.
“My God, is that a Mutated Crystal Base? That’s terrifying!”
“Why is that Mutator running so slowly? Is he really a Mutator?”
“Two have died already!”
Bai Shenfei was also watching the images in the sky, her expression extremely complex.
She knew that place, because she had been there herself, but she couldn’t have imagined that it would be projected like this.
“Those old fellows must be having a headache now, huh?” Bai Shenfei seemed to think of something and a smile actually appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Her gaze fell on a familiar figure in the image, and she couldn’t help frowning: “How is he there?”
Inside Dark Bird Base, the top tiers of the Lin, Wang, and Qi families all looked troubled.
The Qi and Wang families had originally thought that this was a secret exclusive to them, and that only they, the holders of the Dark Bird, could enter that mysterious place.
In the future, all the Base Mutation resources there would be theirs, and they could use those resources to grow their family clans. In a few decades, they could develop into great families like the Super-Bases, or they might even become the top-level families.
Not only had other people entered that mysterious place, but it was also projected into the void, filling them with fear, disappointment, and rage.
Lin Miao was worried about Lin Shen’s safety, wondering why he would be in such a place. The Base Variant Creatures there were too terrifying.
Lin Shen and his group had temporarily hidden in a small grove, which was close to the beach and not very large—they were only seeking temporary shelter.
“Wei, didn’t you say you’ve used teleporters many times and visited many planets? How come you can’t even recognize a teleporter?” Lin Shen pulled Wei Wufu aside and asked him in a low voice.
“The device, it’s different,” Wei Wufu shook his head.
Lin Shen thought so too and then asked, “Have you ever heard of the terms ‘Realm King Cultivation Device’ or ‘Observers’?”
Wei Wufu continued to shake his head, apparently hearing them for the first time.
Lin Shen felt somewhat helpless. If even Wei Wufu had no clue, it would be difficult to clarify the origins of this so-called Realm King Cultivation Device.
Of course, Lin Shen didn’t care what the Realm King Cultivation Device was. Regardless of its name, it was just a teleporter.
What he really wanted to know was who these so-called Observers were.
From the clues they had, the Realm King Cultivation Device appeared to have come from an extraterrestrial source.
However, Lin Shen had inquired from Tian Xin that space travel required a spacecraft, and it was impossible for a single instrument to cross the void on its own.
All they had seen was the Realm King Cultivation Device, which suggested two possibilities.
One possibility was that a spacecraft had already arrived near their planet, and the Realm King Cultivation Device was deployed by them.
In that case, the so-called Observers should be the aliens inside the spacecraft, observing humans with some scheme in mind.
But there was another possibility: the spacecraft transporting the Realm King Cultivation Device encountered some problems, and the device happened to land on their planet, much like the transport pods that carried the Primeval Eggs over two hundred years ago.
If that were the case, there would be no Observers. Then where would the Realm King Cultivation Device be broadcasting their images back to?
Lin Shen guessed that it might just be playing on the device itself, likely unseen by many.
Lin Shen clearly underestimated the capability of the Realm King Cultivation Device, unaware that they were being watched by the entire human world.
Returning to this planet, Lin Shen still had confidence that he could survive successfully.
After arriving once again, he quickly adapted to the gravity here.
Not just adapting, Evolution Theory once again took effect under the gravitational environment, causing Lin Shen’s body to undergo strengthened mutation and become even more robust.
Under the baptism of the gravitational environment, Lin Shen distinctly felt his bone density and strength increase as Evolution Theory circulated.
Of course, the three instances of sensing the Sacrifice +1 notification also informed Lin Shen that three of the people who were teleported with them had probably died by now.
With the experience from last time, Lin Shen already knew how to use the Sacrifice to Heaven ability, hiding the aura gained after offering the sacrifices.
Certainly, his most formidable trump card was Fei Zai (Fatty), who was sleeping the sweetest sleep in his backpack.
Now, Lin Shen’s ability to survive was considerably stronger than the last time he was here.
Xu Tiange and Lu Qing were both Alloy Level, and they each had Crystal Base Level pets with them, but in such a place, they still decided to follow Lin Shen, looking to him as their leader.
“Shen, a Base Variant Creature has come out from the sea,” whispered Xu Tiange, who was on watch, as he stealthily slipped back and spoke in a hushed voice.
The group moved towards the edge of the grove, hiding in the underbrush and looking toward the beach. Indeed, they saw a Base Variant Creature emerging from the sea.
“Damn, what kind of Base Variant Creature is that!”
