133: Chapter 133 The Lost History of the Xia Clan

Three days later.

Su Fan looked excitedly at a rubbed star map. Although the image was somewhat blurry, the information it conveyed was shocking!

"Feifei, I think I've found the answer."

"Huh? Where? Let me see!" Xia Feifei's head immediately poked over.

"Take a look at this." Su Fan handed her the star map in his hand.

Xia Feifei took it and looked at it carefully.

"Is this... the Solar System?" Xia Feifei exclaimed.

"I think it's the Solar System too. These are the eight planets, this is the Asteroid Belt, and this is the Kuiper Belt."

"Also, look at the size ratio of the eight planets; it matches the real Solar System perfectly."

"The distance ratios between the planets and the sun also completely match reality."

Su Fan's excited expression carried a hint of seriousness.

"Look again. These stars on the star map, the angles and positions of the cosmic stars observed from the Solar System as the center point, are exactly the same!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I don't understand the others, but I've known the North Star and the Big Dipper since I was a child. This is definitely the Solar System." Xia Feifei grabbed Su Fan's arm tightly in her excitement.

"To be more accurate, I've had the Red Queen calculate the position of this star map. The Red Queen has concluded that this is the Solar System!" Su Fan's voice trembled slightly; he was too excited.

"Quick, check the source of this star map! Are there any written records?" Xia Feifei urgently reminded him.

"I checked. The source of this star map—The Origin of the Shenyuan Clan!" Su Fan's lips curled up; he felt quite good.

"Ah—?!" Xia Feifei covered her small mouth, her eyes wide.

"Doesn't that mean the Shenyuan Clan comes from Blue Star and are descendants of our Xia Clan?"

Su Fan nodded, smiling very happily.

Between being the ancestor and the descendant, it was definitely better to be the ancestor.

"But... but the timing isn't right. Doesn't our Xia Clan only have a few thousand years of history?" Xia Feifei's little head couldn't quite wrap around it.

"Do you think a few thousand or tens of thousands of years can really develop such a brilliant civilization?" Su Fan's eyes shone brightly.

"Evolution from apes to Homo sapiens, and then from Homo sapiens to humans—do you believe that theory?"

"I don't!"

"Evolving into the intelligent human race in just a few hundred thousand years?"

"Whether others believe it or not, I don't."

"How is The Origin of the Shenyuan Clan recorded?" Xia Feifei asked thoughtfully.

"I'll read you the original text," Su Fan said with a smile.

"Before the Ancient Calendar [Annotated: approximately 300 million years ago], because the cultivation resources of the home planet, the Sacred Ancestor Star, and its star system were nearing exhaustion, some members of the Shenyuan Clan, led by the Second Ancestor, ventured deep into the starry sky to find a new habitat."

"A thousand years later, the Second Ancestor returned with good news: the new habitat, Shengyuan Star, had been found."

"But the bad news was that the new habitat, Shengyuan Star, was incredibly far from the Sacred Ancestor Star. Ordinary clan members could not cross it with their physical bodies alone. Only those who had reached the Soul Forging Realm, led by the five Sacred Ancestors, could traverse the starry sky."

"After careful deliberation, the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Ancestors led most of the clan members in the Soul Forging Realm—a total of 1,320 people—to cross the starry sky and settle in their new home, Shengyuan Star."

"In the following thousands of years, clan members on the Sacred Ancestor Star relied on the remaining cultivation resources, and people continued to break through to the Soul Forging Realm, allowing them to relocate to Shengyuan Star."

"Ten thousand years later, the Second Ancestor ascended, the Third and Fourth Ancestors died, and a large number of the first-generation Soul Forging Realm clan members from the Sacred Ancestor Star all passed away."

"At this point, contact between Shengyuan Star and the Sacred Ancestor Star was almost severed. Only the new Sacred Ancestor would occasionally return to the ancestral land to bring back any clan members who had newly broken through to the Soul Forging Realm."

"Thirty thousand years passed after that. The cultivation resources of the Sacred Ancestor Star were completely exhausted, and it could no longer give birth to new cultivators."

"Communication between Shengyuan Star and the Sacred Ancestor Star was completely cut off!"

Su Fan finished in one breath, his tone somewhat sighing. He hadn't expected that the Xia people of Blue Star were actually the group that had been left behind.

"Su Fan, why didn't the Sacred Ancestors bring resources from Shengyuan Star back to the Sacred Ancestor Star?" Xia Feifei suddenly asked.

"Uh..." Su Fan was stumped. How would he know?

At that moment, Jiang Zibo walked over and said with a smile, "Because when the Sacred Ancestors traversed the starry sky, they didn't have the ability to carry too many things."

"Then why could they take people in the Soul Forging Realm across the starry sky but not the other clan members?" Xia Feifei asked again.

"Because below the Soul Forging Realm, one lacks Mental Energy. They cannot use Mental Energy to coat and protect their physical bodies. Their bodies alone simply cannot withstand the pressure of traversing the starry sky," Jiang Zibo explained patiently.

"I see!" Xia Feifei nodded.

"Su Fan, what era was Blue Star in 300 million years ago?"

"The Carboniferous Period!" Su Fan answered.

"Holy Lord Jiang, what are these cultivation resources mentioned in history?" Su Fan turned to ask Jiang Zibo.

Jiang Zibo smiled and reached into his pocket to take out a black stone.

"There—look. It's this kind of stone. We call it Spirit Stone."

Su Fan's pupils constricted, and his hand trembled slightly as he took the Spirit Stone.

It was a square Spirit Stone about the size of a thumb, and it felt very smooth to the touch.

"Isn't this a damn dark energy crystal!" Su Fan exclaimed internally, but remained calm on the surface.

"System, is this the use of dark energy crystals? Cultivation resources for practitioners?" Su Fan asked the system inwardly.

"Yes and no," the system replied indifferently.

"I am the super god black technology system. I don't deal with cultivation matters. For me, dark energy crystals are not used for cultivation either."

"Then what are they used for?" Su Fan was curious.

"To power the Warp Drive," the system replied.

"Oh..." Su Fan nodded. He had previously said his clearance was insufficient, yet now he had said it anyway.

Honestly... this system...

What a bastard!

"Su Fan, is this the Spirit Stone from cultivation novels?" Xia Feifei reached out, wanting to touch it too.

Su Fan handed the crystal to her and said to Jiang Zibo, "Holy Lord Jiang, besides humans, can other creatures absorb the crystals to grow larger and stronger?"

"Absolutely!" Jiang Zibo replied with a smile. "However, they can only do so through methods like devouring them or sleeping on them. They don't have cultivation techniques like the Guidance Technique."

Su Fan nodded, and a mystery in his heart unraveled.

"No wonder there were so many giant insects and giant creatures in the Carboniferous Period. It turns out it was because Blue Star had Spirit Stones back then."

"With the exhaustion of Spirit Stones, neither humans nor other creatures could cultivate anymore."

"I knew it! How could high concentrations of oxygen make creatures grow so large? I never believed that since I was a kid," Xia Feifei said with a pout.

Su Fan smiled. In fact, when exploring the universe and the origin of life, some scientists' theories are often overturned by later generations due to the limitations of their own knowledge and era. This is normal, and there's no need to disparage those who have the courage to explore.

"However, those pseudo-scientists who talk nonsense should be vigorously criticized!"

"Holy Lord Jiang, now that I understand the history, can you teach me the method of cultivation next?" Su Fan said with a smile.
