699: Lao Bai is going to be busy again...

He stretched out his hand, and his Qi Blood condensed at his fingertips, forming a Dragon Claw.

With a slight movement of his fingertip, the sharp Dragon Claw had already torn through space, carving a hundred-mile-long, deep gully in the blue sky.

Standing in Yang Dian's position, it was as if the sky had been parted down the middle.

"Although I don't understand science as well as you, I understand Martial Dao, the extraordinary, and I also understand rules."

"How much energy do you think I expended using the power of rules to tear open this sky screen?"

Lao Bai remained silent.

Just as Yang Dian understood some science, he also understood some Martial Dao and Cultivation.

But what kind of Martial Dao could part the vast sky down the middle?

This was beyond his comprehension.

Seeing Lao Bai's silence, Yang Dian continued:

"Roughly the entire Qi Blood power of a Martial Artist who has just entered the fourth realm of Martial Dao, which is the Qi Blood Smoke Realm."

"In the field of science, knowledge is a lever, hence the saying, 'Give me a fulcrum and a long enough lever, and I can move the Earth.'"

"In the extraordinary realm, rules are the lever."

"As long as one comprehends the rules, a small amount of power can pry open an incredible force that seems impossible to ordinary people."

"Dudu was already extraordinary, and after several years of dormancy in the original Earth time, these changes are not surprising."

Lao Bai looked at Yang Dian with a hint of speechlessness:

"You're saying this isn't surprising?"

"Brother, this isn't 500 kilometers, nor is it 5000 kilometers; this is 5 light-years!"

"47 trillion kilometers!"

"A volume that could fit 41 quintillion Earths!"

"Ordinary people can't even describe this volume!"

After a complaint, Lao Bai ruffled his hair again:

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I suppose you wouldn't make a fuss for no reason."

"Let's talk about the crisis Dudu sensed."

At this point, a glint flashed in Lao Bai's eyes.

Not only did the slight breakdown on his face vanish without a trace, but even his disheveled hair regained its shape.

"What kind of crisis made you so eager to inform me?"

"Is it an alien invasion? Or the arrival of a super-strong being? Or have we been targeted by a Star God?"

"None of them." After denying Lao Bai's guesses, Yang Dian pointed at the sky and said:

"In that direction, about 3.5 light-years away from us in the Universe, is a region of deep Universe cold."

"Earth is currently flying towards there."

"I don't know how long it will take to fly there, I only know that it will be very cold there, and once we enter that area, the entire globe will be frozen."

Lao Bai narrowed his eyes upon hearing this:

"Global freezing?"

"Before the Qi Revival, or before the Spark of Martial Dao was passed down, global freezing might have been a terrifying natural disaster."

"But now, we have not only passed down the Spark of Martial Dao, almost everyone is a Martial Artist, we have also plundered countless resources from other worlds, and we have completely transformed two planets into our subsidiary Grotto-Heavens, almost fully occupying Tiannan Star and Emerald Dragon Star."

"Plus the technology I've researched."

"Global freezing might be a natural disaster, but it shouldn't hinder the overall development of Huaxia, right?"

"Why so nervous?"

"Yes, global freezing alone isn't a major natural disaster." After nodding to confirm Lao Bai was right, Yang Dian changed his tone:

"But have you considered other dangers?"

"Other dangers?" Lao Bai mumbled, then his face gradually darkened:

"You mean..."

"Cosmic Creatures?"

"Cosmic Creatures that can survive and reproduce in the vacuum and extreme cold of the Universe?"

Yang Dian nodded, affirming his thought:

"The Universe is wondrous."

"Life can be born on planets, and miraculous lifeforms like Rule Nine Silkworms can appear."

"In the harsh environment of the Universe, other miraculous lifeforms might not appear."

"If extremely cold life truly exists in that extremely cold Universe region."

Yang Dian pointed at the sun:

"Such a huge fireball, directly rushing into that extremely cold region, isn't that equivalent to lighting a big light bulb in the dark?"

"Even if no extremely cold life exists, what impact will the sun have on the extremely cold environment?"

"What impact will the extremely cold environment have on the sun, even making the sun extreme?"

"I don't know any of this."

Hearing Yang Dian's words, Lao Bai, who had originally dedicated most of his computing power to advancing technology, gradually composed himself, and his expression became increasingly solemn.

"Are you sure Dudu's sensing and expression are correct?"

Yang Dian nodded affirmingly:

"Correct."

"I trust him."

"Whew~~~" Lao Bai let out a long breath:

"Can Dudu calculate how long it will take for Earth to enter that region?"

Yang Dian poked Dudu, who was playing with his finger, with his index finger:

"Don't make things difficult for this little guy."

"When I first found this little guy, it was a single-celled organism, only capable of simple emotional expression."

"Its intelligence has improved a lot with its strength, but it's limited."

"Being able to say that Earth is about 3.5 light-years away from that region has almost made it crash."

"If I ask it to calculate other things, I'm afraid it will faint."

Lao Bai remained silent.

After Yang Dian said, 'Don't make things difficult for Dudu,' he had already begun to search through astronomical photos taken over the years.

Soon after, Lao Bai, whose eyes seemed to have countless symbols flowing through them, raised his eyebrows, and a series of photos were projected in front of both of them.

"Approximately 3.5 light-years away, there is indeed a shadowy region."

"However, such shadowy regions are common in the Universe, so neither I nor Taichu, or any other supercomputer, paid attention to it."

"We still lack reverence for the Universe."

"Later, I will specifically assign a supercomputer to observe and calculate celestial bodies in the Universe, and have it focus on threats from the Universe itself."

"That's for later." Yang Dian waved his hand and looked at the cosmic star maps that looked no different in his eyes:

"Have you calculated it? When will we reach there?"

"Under the influence of various gravitational celestial bodies in the Universe, we are approaching that location at a speed of 58.76 kilometers per second, which is approximately 50.7 billion kilometers per day."

"Barring any accidents, in 652 days of original Earth time, or 217 days of current Earth time, we will enter that region."

"Almost two years in original Earth time, huh?"

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian let out another breath:

"Good, at least it gives us some time."

If the speed were faster, two years would be enough for him to conquer dozens or even hundreds of planets.

With the resources of hundreds of planets to support him, he couldn't even imagine what terrifying level his strength could reach.

Perhaps a Stellar Ancestor would be nothing more than this?

Of course, the prerequisite was having that many planets for him to plunder.

Just as Yang Dian was pondering, Lao Bai continued:

"I'm going back to do research first."

"Space devices and such might have to wait; I'll first create camouflage devices. At the very least, Earth must be disguised as a dead star, and it would be best to install a real camouflage layer in the atmosphere before entering that region."

"Additionally, I still need to find a way to build a Dyson Sphere to completely collect the heat emitted by the sun and protect it, to prevent any accidents after the sun enters that region."

"In short..."

"I'll be busy..."
