The woman's expression was still cold, as if she wasn't worried about the upcoming dark age of the universe. She said slowly, "Mr. Iger, the Demon Sealing Star Jade is enveloped by the Great Heavenly Cycle Stellar Formation, and space-time is completely locked. It's impossible to send this thing out of the solar system. Even if it's sent out of Pluto, it'll be very difficult. I'd like to know what price the galactic financial group will pay."
The person on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, Miss Wanqin. Unfortunately, there aren't many things in the universe that can compare to the roots of the World Tree. Can you accept ten chaos stones?"
A smile appeared on the woman's cold face. "Yes, I'll think of a way to send the roots of the World Tree and this test subject out of Pluto. The chaos stones can't be transported through the interstellar teleportation gate. I hope the galactic financial group can find a way to send them over."
The person on the other end of the phone said solemnly, "I'll personally send the chaos stones to Miss Wanqin."
The woman was happy, but just as she was about to hang up the phone, she hesitated. After a while, she changed her tone. "There are some things that I still need to remind you. I suspect that the World Tree is already dead, including the roots. The reason it's still alive is because there's an unknown virus living on it!"
"Virus?" The person on the other end of the phone was shocked.
"Yes, a virus that we can't recognize. It might have come from ancient times. It can't be observed with any detection equipment and can only be sensed with spiritual power. This virus spreads with the chaos magic energy, but it doesn't belong to magic energy. It absorbs about one-eighty percent of the energy that the host absorbs every day. It won't affect the host's health, and the immune system of life is very strong. As long as the host's body isn't seriously injured, the immune system will do its best to suppress the growth of the virus.
The person on the other end of the phone heaved a sigh of relief. "Life has always been in a symbiotic relationship with viruses. No matter how much technology advances, viruses can't be solved. Because we're created by viruses, there's no need to worry too much about this."
The woman's eyes lit up. Viruses were something that existed between organisms and non-organisms. They weren't energy and didn't have constant energy characteristics, such as the heat of the stars, gravity, wind, and so on. However, they were an important bridge between organisms and non-organisms. In other words, life came from viruses.
As a top-notch genetic author, she naturally had a deep understanding of viruses. However, she didn't expect the other party to have such a deep understanding of the nature of viruses as well. She couldn't help but praise, "I've long heard that Mr. Iger is the chief spirit master of the galactic financial group. I didn't expect you to have such an understanding of materialism as well."
"Not really. I've only been to some planets that are about to give birth to life."
The two of them then discussed many details. They also talked about the Void Calamity and the Demon Sealing Star Jade. Luo Kai, who was hiding in the dark, learned many secrets of this era.
The interstellar universe was vast and boundless. Of course, the human civilization wasn't the only one. Generally speaking, it could be divided into god-tier civilizations and other similar civilizations. The god-tier civilization was supreme and was the ruler of the universe. The humans of this era had already reached the standard of a god-tier civilization. They could influence and control close to 50% of the known universe and had given birth to many gods who had transcended the three-dimensional universe.
The gods lived in the four-dimensional universe and could overlook the three-dimensional universe. In other words, everything in the three-dimensional universe, including the past and the future, could be seen in their eyes. Therefore, they could predict the arrival of the dark era of the universe and make warnings in advance. Furthermore, the technological level of humans had also reached a very high level. Some of the top mental calculators could build a model of the universe in their minds and deduce the expansion and contraction process of the universe as well as the changes in the creation and destruction of dimensions.
Humans were so powerful that the middle era was also known as the human era. It was the center of the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. The gods from the nine heavens and the demons from the nine underworlds often appeared in the human world.
Most of the high-level civilizations in the universe naturally respected the human race, but there were also some who didn't like the current order of the universe based on the human social system. Among them, there was an alternative god-tier civilization called the "galactic financial group".
This was a huge trade organization that traversed the universe and spanned across the three realms. The origin of their civilization was much longer than the human race's. It could even be traced back to the ancient era.
The roots of this section of the World Tree came from the ancient era. It was an era that couldn't be described with human language and couldn't even be defined by the rules of space-time.
For example, the seeds of this World Tree were born in one dimension and grew in two dimensions. The branches and leaves spread in three dimensions and the seeds grew in four dimensions.
In other words, its roots were deeply planted in the nine underworlds and its flowers and fruits were in the nine heavens. It was very difficult for the current human knowledge to understand such an existence. It was separated from the foundation of matter and the definition of space-time.
With the destruction of the middle world and the end of the ancient era, the World Tree was also torn apart. Its body was scattered all over the universe and most of it had lost its vitality. It was just that it was relatively hard and difficult to destroy.
However, the roots were different. As the roots were deeply planted in the nine underworlds, it contained pure chaos magic energy. After it was obtained by the Atlanteans, the Atlanteans used some unknown method to regenerate the vitality of the roots of the World Tree. They could also extract the souls of humans and inject them into non-living organisms. Thus, the terrifying artificial gods were born.
Later on, the roots of the World Tree expanded endlessly and spread throughout the entire Atlantis Divine Territory. It even created a distorted chaotic space-time. The Heavenly God Realm in the four-dimensional universe sensed the abnormality and a Buddha personally took action. Only then did they stop the invasive growth of the roots of the World Tree.
After the Atlantis Divine Territory was destroyed, the Nine Extremes Sect naturally went deep into it and initiated research. The Demonic Sect and the Abyss Sanctum also sneaked in quietly, trying to find the secret of the artificial gods.
Even in this highly developed era, where the research on the evolution of life forms and the operation of the mind had reached the pinnacle, the birth of a god was extremely difficult, not to mention a true god who could peek into the fourth dimension.
After the call ended, the woman took out a box the size of a fist. A ball of hazy light shot out from the box and the zombie test subjects in the room shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, they became the size of a thumb and were kept in the box.
Then, she put the wooden box that contained the World Tree into the box and left slowly. She did not go up to the exit but continued to go down. There was still a vast space in the depths of the ground.
Luo Kai naturally followed closely. This woman called Wan Qin had a very high status. When the base guards saw her, they immediately saluted and made way for her. Along the way, more and more people came. It was obvious that this underground base also had a transmission device that led to Pluto.
On the huge spiral staircase, there was a garrison army and trial takers from the Taixuan Dojo. Therefore, Luo Kai did not attract attention and could follow blatantly.
