Chapter 131: Deep Sea Invasion

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Looking at the Giant Wave Planet orbiting the black hole, Li Wenyuan felt that this might be the most important part of the galaxy.

Originally, he thought that the Gift that the professor mentioned was referring to the ownerless material depressurizing device, but now he felt that it was hard to say.

Was this planet named Fish Tank hinting at something?

Li Wenyuan felt that he might be overthinking things. After all, this seemed to be a place where humans conducted sociological experiments.

Perhaps they just wanted to watch a good show of sitting in the well and looking at the sky and had never thought so much.

“Maybe I’m too sensitive…” He forced himself to bury this matter in his heart and then continued to check the history of this civilization.

Although the upward exploration was banned, the exploration in other directions was still going on like the sun at noon.

This scientific theocracy civilization might not be good in other aspects, but the technology related to the deep sea was top-notch.

With the help of the magical dimensions creation device, although their population was only a few hundred thousand, they did not need to do too much basic labor. More than 95% of the population were experts in various fields.

Through the exploration of exquisite deep-sea navigation equipment, they discovered that there were actually many uninhabited homes in the outside world. They were actually Deep Sea Observation Stations located elsewhere on the planet.

However, this shocking discovery still led this civilization into a long pioneering era. They spent nearly a thousand years colonizing all the Deep Sea Observation Stations.

Such actions had successfully expanded their population to two million. For a deep-sea civilization, this was undoubtedly a feat.

However, they did not go up to explore. Under the guidance of the powerful theocracy, their exploration focus was placed on the deeper sea.

This was also the beginning of their calamity. The current era was called the Cataclysm Era.

However, Gray Wind suddenly said with excitement, “Look at that thing! This is the monster I imagined in my dreams!”

Following Gray Wind’s guidance, Li Wenyuan saw what the thing she was talking about was.

It was a terrifying creature that looked like a giant octopus. It had hundreds of powerful limbs.

As the suction cups on the tentacles contracted and opened, one could see dense teeth hidden in them, making one’s scalp go numb.

It was about one-tenth the size of the giant Deep Sea Observation Station. It was a rather large body for a building that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

However, for an interstellar civilization, this thing was still too small.

The space creatures that often wandered around were all as big as large battleships. This was also the reason why interstellar civilizations did not pay much attention to the ocean.

After all, no matter how big the things in the ocean grew, they were not as big as these space creatures wandering in the universe. In terms of size, their deterrence was much smaller.

Moreover, their strength was not very good. Not to mention the interstellar civilization, the natives who were still in the atomic age could directly destroy this creature with a nuclear bomb.

However, for Gray Wind who had been in space since he was born, this monster of the deep sea was still very interesting.

However, the giant octopus in front of her was a little special. It seemed to have a high level of intelligence.

Li Wenyuan was very sure that the distress signal that he had detected earlier was sent by this giant octopus.

At this moment, it was waving a huge limb, leisurely swinging a transmitter that did not match its size. Every once in a while, it would send a distress signal to the outside world.

It looked like…It was like a lantern fish fishing.

He explored the inside of the intact observation station and found that the giant octopus would carefully avoid every building and even every flower.

It was able to control every inch of its muscles flexibly. Even if it was clinging to a large building inside a Deep Sea Observation Station, it did not cause any damage.

However, the species that should have lived here had disappeared. Judging from the sharp teeth that were constantly squirming in the suckers of the giant octopus’s tentacles, the residents here were probably dead.

Moreover, he detected some special energy fluctuations from the giant octopus.

“Even the psionic octopus is here?” Having dealt with void realm experts countless times, he had already confirmed that it was the fluctuation of psionic energy.

Furthermore, such psionic waves were not considered low even in interstellar space. Only some psionic masters could reach such a level. If the spiritual octopus were to be seen by those idealistic civilizations, it might even be addressed as the Venerable Octopus.

“This is unbelievable. What did this civilization do?” Li Wenyuan began to check the files that were sealed as top secret by the natives here. Then, he saw this incident:

[ The case of the missing evolution accelerator ]

[ Record Time: Year 328 of the pioneering era ]

[ Description: Since the Pope re-established God’s Kingdom, the machine left behind by the power of this God was used as a symbol. After dismantling it, it was transported to the new God’s Kingdom. However, one of the submarines that was loaded with the main structure disappeared in the process. It was speculated that it was dragged into hell by the undercurrent. ]

According to the description of the case, a submarine with the main structure of the evolution accelerator sank deeper into the sea, and it was completely impossible to find it.

However, Li Wenyuan knew what the evolution accelerator was. The most important part of it was not the machine itself, but a special substance that accelerated mutation.

This substance would greatly increase the desire for reproduction and metabolism of living creatures, and at the same time, cause a large number of mutations in the genes of future generations.

Almost every living creature would be infected by this substance and mutate. Through quantity, they would produce a sufficiently outstanding species. Finally, through countless rounds of accelerated cruel elimination, a creature that had reached the peak of both physical and intellectual strength would appear. This creature would become the foundation of civilization.

The civilization here might have wiped out countless of their close relatives in the process of evolution, but they just didn’t know about it.

But just like the corresponding technology of this machine, this was a cruel evolution that was artificially accelerated, it sounded like Gu refinement.

Although this machine would stop working after the emergence of civilization, the materials stored in it would definitely not be exhausted.

After a civilization was destroyed, it would speed up the process of a new round of natural selection.

The giant octopus in front of him was very likely a creature that had been improved by the missing evolution accelerator.

Under the water pressure of the deep sea, the substances in the evolution accelerator might have leaked, causing unpredictable pollution in the deep sea.

And this octopus was likely to be the new overlord of the deep sea.

According to the records of the Cataclysm Era of this civilization, he felt that it was almost the same as his idea.

[ Catastrophe ]

[ Record Time: Cataclysm Era Year 0 ]

[ Description: A large number of scientists who were exploring the lower reaches began to disappear. A large number of guards began to search for the source of all this… In the end, we discovered these enemies. Their bodies are incomparably huge, and they also possess various strange powers. They came from the outside world, and their goal is to destroy us… ]

“Had this civilization been destroyed? No, this psionic octopus seems to be using bait to lure the octopus civilization to send more people over…”

The drones in other locations in the deep sea also sent news one after another, confirming his thoughts.

This civilization had not been destroyed yet, but it was not far away.

At this moment, they were left with only their home which was still floating in the sea with difficulty. The reason why it was difficult was that a few enormous tentacles that could not be seen at a glance had wrapped around the observation station and were dragging it deeper into the deep sea.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the human thing was very strong, it would have really dragged it down.

However, judging from the size of those tentacles, this mysterious creature’s size had reached a terrifying level. Even the observation station that could accommodate more than 100,000 people seemed like a toy under its tentacles.

Initially, Li Wenyuan didn’t feel much about this, but he thought of the image that this Fish Tank might represent. He felt that this meant that an unpredictable threat would destroy the Fish Tank world.

He felt that he might have vaguely grasped something, but he could not touch the layer of fog that was right in front of him.

“Did the humans sense something?”

He actually already had some bad guesses, but if that was really the case, then everything in this universe might not be so easy to say..
