Chapter 758: Chapter 635: Grazing Planet
“What, planet number 1700 just vanished?”
Inside the Disc Conference Room, the leaders who received the intelligence couldn’t help but doubt if they had heard wrong.
If the report had said that the interstellar governor stationed on the planet had suddenly disappeared, they could understand. But for an entire planet to vanish was rather bizarre.
Could this disappearance mean it was destroyed?
Before the leaders of the Disc could question further, the monitor transmitted the relevant images back through quantum communication…
In the barren cosmic space, a massive planet was slowly rotating around the Sun.
At a certain moment, a layer of shiny film material suddenly emerged from inside the planet, enveloping the entire planet.
Then, within a hundred atomic seconds, everything before their eyes had vanished.
The leaders in the Disc Conference Room magnified the transmitted images thousands of times, but still could not fully understand how the whole planet had disappeared…
The Disc Conference Room suddenly fell into a strange silence. However, this silence didn’t last long as soon bursts of colorful lights quickly started flickering around the room.
An entire planet had just vanished without a trace; this was simply beyond their comprehension.
Though destroying a planet was easy for a geometric civilization, it was only destruction.
In contrast, the opponent had completely erased the planet in an instant, and there were no noticeable energy remnants that they could detect, which was quite alarming.
“Could it be some kind of wormhole transport technology?” guessed a circular-shaped leader. The Magic Empire had previously demonstrated ultra-long-distance space-time transport, so he suspected the planet hadn’t vanished but had been relocated to another location in the universe.
Similar space-time transport technology was also mastered by the geometric civilization, but it was only stable when they had coordinates to transport fleets and materials, or it involved unstable short-range space-time jumps when there were no coordinates.
Using a wormhole to transport an entire planet to another place was completely impossible with their existing technology…
But then someone promptly suggested a second conjecture: could it be possible that the opponent had used some special device to hide the location of the planet?
According to earlier reports, right before the planet vanished, the nearby cruising spaceship had detected strong electromagnetic wave reactions, so it was possible that some kind of electromagnetic wave shielding device was used to create the illusion of it vanishing in place.
However, these two conjectures were quickly dismissed; after the sudden disappearance of planet number 1700, the cruising spaceship had entered the star system to investigate.
To avoid any misunderstandings, they even specifically sent a notice before departure, stating that they were coming to hand over a portion of the compensation materials.
This was a strategy set in advance for handling emergencies.
But the reconnaissance data retrieved by this spaceship left the Disc leaders feeling uncertain; the planet indeed had completely vanished within the star system. The ship even circled the planet’s original orbit and found nothing.
“Right, I remember Mony and his crew were still on planet 1700. Their coordinates should be recorded,” suddenly reminded the circular-shaped leader.
The people present quickly came to their senses; Mony was a name that had recently come into their view. Normally, a captain responsible for planet transformation wouldn’t catch their eye.
But Mony unexpectedly gained the appreciation of the interstellar governor and had risked a great deal to transmit some crucial intelligence back, so he was instantly remembered by all the Disc leaders.
This was indeed a great merit!
If he could return safely, he must be heavily rewarded!
Of course, the most important thing now was to find out where the vanished planet number 1700 had gone…
For a moment, everyone’s gaze converged on the monitor, who after urgently contacting the spaceship located in the 1700 star system, suddenly emitted a dazzling light and stutteringly communicated.
“Now… the location of the detection spaceship… overlaps with the coordinates where Mony and others were!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy conference room immediately went quiet, but this false calm was broken the next moment.
“How is that possible?” a Disc leader exclaimed, banging the table. “Are you saying the detection spaceship is now inside planet 1700 but can’t see anything?”
Perhaps all their detection methods had been shielded, even affecting close-range observations…
Amidst the continuous arguments and discussions, a voice suddenly echoed through the hall.
“I suspect this might involve higher-dimensional technology…”
The speaker was the chief time-space and dimensional engineer of the geometric civilization, who hadn’t taken his eyes off the transmitted images and had made a bold conjecture.
It was like lifting a cup high and then placing another cup in the original position; of course, their two-dimensional coordinates would overlap!
While the geometric civilization was astounded by the mysterious disappearance of the planet, inside the New World, under a time flow ten times faster, a year had quietly passed.
A year on a cosmic scale was rather brief; a single stellar journey might consume several years. But for the creatures of the New World, it was immensely long, with many species undergoing four or five generations.
In the initial months, the influence of the three Suns led to the mass extinction of many animals and plants, but fortunately, life always found a way, and rapid iteration provided excellent adaptability.
Yet the most important were still the tiny organism-modifying machines of the geometric people, which could silently achieve genetic-level modifications for a species, providing great conveniences.
And Lynn, having arranged all this, could now peacefully collect the results of his breeding efforts.
Over twenty species of magic power-modified creatures were spread across the globe; benefiting from their terrifying reproduction and growth rates, the number of intelligent beings had quickly exceeded one billion, and the count of ordinary creatures surpassed a hundred billion—including insects, plankton, and various microorganisms.
Nearly every second, countless creatures perished due to the brutal struggle for survival, and a massive number of souls, under the call of the Undead Divine Position, were integrated into the divine powers and then transformed into Magic Power to resist the onslaught of the Sea of Quanta…
