Chapter 142: Too Young Star God, the Root of Transmutation.
When did the Star God exist in this world?
This is a rather strange question, not because it is too difficult, but because it is too simple.
In the Star Iron Universe, even a child who has just started school can easily give such an answer.
“According to the Interstellar Peace Company, the oldest star god known to exist is the guardian star god Klipper. His ascension to the godhood is considered to be the decisive factor in ending the Twilight War. The day he ascended to the godhood was the first year of the Amber calendar, which was 2,157 Amber eras ago.”
Heita first gave this answer.
The Amber era is one of the universal calendars of the galaxy promoted by the Interstellar Peace Company. Every time the guardian star god Klipper swings his hammer, it marks the end of the previous Amber era and the beginning of the next Amber era.
Because the intervals between Klipper swinging his hammer are uncertain, the length of each Amber era fluctuates greatly.
According to the pioneer calendar, an Amber era ranges from about 76 to 240 years.
Now is the 2157 Amber era, and the life span of the guardian Klipper can be directly judged by this.
“However, in my opinion, the company’s propaganda is very exaggerated. According to the information I have investigated, the Twilight War did not end immediately after the preservation of the Star God Clipperton. On the contrary, the ancient beasts were active for at least more than a hundred Amber Ages before they completely disappeared.”
Having said something that was so outrageous that it was even enough to be silenced by the Interstellar Peace Company, Heita curled his lips in dissatisfaction and added:
“I was originally interested in this period of history, but after the Interstellar Peace Company noticed my research, they kept looking for trouble with me, not wanting me to ruin their propaganda. Later, because those guys were too annoying, I didn’t continue my research.”
She was the only one who was qualified to make the Interstellar Peace Company so entangled. If other people studied these things, they would have disappeared long ago. For the fanatics of Cunhu, questioning these things is tantamount to challenging their beliefs. For the members of the Interstellar Peace Company, Cunhu Klipper is their facade. Once something that damages the image of the Star God is exposed, it will directly affect the profits of the Interstellar Peace Company.
Touching interests is more likely to provoke hatred than touching beliefs.
Even the Black Tower cannot act alone.
“Putting aside the matter of the Twilight War, according to the existing data, the age of Cun Hu Klipper can be calculated. There is no problem with this, right?”
Su Mo asked back.
During the waiting time, he had checked all the information disclosed by the space station through Hubie and had a more comprehensive understanding of the Star Iron World.
Combined with the information obtained in his previous life, he had a very deep inference about the truth of this world, which was the reason why he dared to contact the Star God directly.
“That’s right.”
Heita nodded.
The Amber Era was a calendar based on Klipper’s First Hammer. Although it was only an inferred time, the error would not be too large.
No matter what happened at the beginning, the calendar created by Klipper himself would not make mistakes in the same coordinate system.
“2157 Amber Calendar, converted to 500,000 years at most.”
Based on the answer given by the Black Tower, Su Mo deduced this fact
“That is to say, even one of the oldest known star gods is no more than 500,000 years old at most.”
500,000 years old is already a very large number for the ordinary world. Even the gods in the world of the God Slayer are generally only a few thousand years old, and the age of the star gods is a hundred times that.
However, compared to the stage of the universe, this period of time is too short.
In the Earth calendar, humans walked out of Africa 100,000 years ago, and the establishment of civilization is only 10,000 years old. The oldest tribal gods are only more than 10,000 years old. The gods born on this basis are only a few thousand years old on average, which is a very reasonable number.
But for the interstellar society, hundreds of thousands of years are too short.
The birth of the universe was more than 10 billion years ago, and the birth of the earth-like planets was at least several billion years ago.
In the Star Iron World, there is no shortage of civilizations that have been born for more than millions of years.
On such a vast time scale, 500,000 years is just a blink of an eye.
“As such a young being, the Star God immediately possessed the power to influence the entire universe, and there are more than one similar existences… Don’t you have any doubts about this?”
Su Mo raised this doubt.
In the previous 13.7 billion years, there was no existence that could influence the scale of the entire universe, but in the short period of less than 500,000 years, so many Star Gods emerged at once.
Existences that can shake the framework of the universe all came out in such a short time.
For ordinary people, the existence of Star Gods may be something as self-evident as common sense or the rules of the universe, but as long as you look into it, you will find that it is extremely unreasonable.
Why do Star Gods appear in this time period?
Why do they have the power to influence the entire universe?
If the birth of Star Gods is natural, why didn’t a Star God appear in more than 10 billion years ago?
Hearing Su Mo’s question, Heita fell into a brief contemplation.
After a few seconds, she spoke
“There is currently a relatively niche hypothesis about the Star God, which believes that the Star God has existed from the beginning to the end.”
“There are some cases that show that in the ancient times when the Xianzhou Alliance had not yet separated from its mother planet, the representative symbol of the patrolling star god was discovered, but at that time, the patrolling star god had not yet been born.”
The problem pointed out by Su Mo cannot be ignored, but her understanding of the star god is also extensive.
“If the Star Gods have always existed, and only recently appeared one by one for unknown reasons… well, although it is very far-fetched, it can explain why they have the power to influence the universe – they are eternal beings.”
At this point, Heita was not very satisfied with this far-fetched explanation, but she did not have a better explanation.
Su Mo shook his head and denied this explanation.
“The study of star gods should not only consider the changes of star gods over time, but also the interference of star gods in time.”
“For example, the Last Star God King who travels against time, even though he was born in the distant destructive future, can still cross the long river of time and go back to the past. Other Star Gods may not be able to do this, but there is a high probability that they also have the means to unconsciously influence time.”
Hearing this, Heita pondered for a while, and then said in surprise
“You mean, the miracles of the Star Gods before their birth were the unconscious influence they exerted on the upper reaches of the long river of time after their birth?”
The concept of time interference is often complicated, but for her, this hypothesis has no threshold for understanding, it just tests her imagination.
According to Su Mo, the prehistoric miracles of the hunting star gods are the relics formed after the hunting star gods were born through the induction of distant time and space.
“That’s right, this is a basic operation for gods.”
Su Mo answered very calmly, with an expression of being somewhat indifferent.
Strengthening one’s own existence by traveling through time, deepening one’s own imprint on the world, and improving one’s own strength – this practice may be very rare for people who don’t understand it, but in the field of mythology, this is basically the basic operation of developing mythology.
Just like the father Zeus introduced before, by using the established fate and theological patches, the gods who were born later were packaged as quasi-monotheistic gods who had been born a long time ago and had been secretly controlling everything in the world.
In this way, not only will the sense of existence of this god in mythology be greatly enhanced, once this hypothesis is fully recognized, then this god can really become the only god that runs through all time and destiny…
Just like practicing falsehood to make it true, the gods who were born later can become”self-existent” through this operation.
Turn the originally wrong hypothesis into the right one.
In this field, compared with the failed Greek mythology, the successful Christianity obviously has more experience.
With Su Mo’s professionalism in the field of mythology, he can see through the reason for this phenomenon at a glance
“A very valuable hypothesis.”
Even Heita, after thinking about it, had to admit that Su Mo’s statement was more likely.
Not only could it reasonably explain the phenomenon of transcending time, but it also did not fall into the kind of panacea-like theological explanation.
It has always existed in the universe, but it just didn’t show up for some reason…
What’s the difference between that and not existing at all!
“According to you, this phenomenon is just one of the interference information of the Star God itself to the universe. In other words, you also think that the Star God is a new existence that was born in the last few hundred thousand years?”
After realizing that Su Mo’s thinking was quite valuable, Heita asked with interest. Su
Mo had clearly said before that it was unreasonable for a too young Star God to suddenly ascend to heaven and gain strength beyond the limit.
But from what he said, he still supports the fact that the Star God was born only a few hundred thousand years ago?
Isn’t there a contradiction between the two?
“That’s right. There are already many indelible records of the Star Gods’ ascension to the Godhood. It is also an undeniable fact that they were born explosively in the past few hundred thousand years.”
Su Mo acknowledged this basis, and then changed the subject.
“Based on this fact, I have a rather simple question:”
“Does that mean that the One-Star God really appeared out of nothing, without any roots, without any traces, and without any reason?”
“Or is it that its existence itself has some other basis, but it has undergone a transformation under the right conditions and finally been upgraded to a force capable of interfering on the scale of the universe?”
Unlike ordinary evolution, transmutation refers to the phenomenon that a substance changes at an exponential rate in a very short period of time, and finally completely transforms into another completely different substance. The magnitude of this change is stronger than a supernova explosion, and the time required is shorter than a flash of light.
It is a complete transition of life levels.
For example, if Su Mo now randomly finds a wild bird with no intelligence, directly gives it the divinity of the One God, and enlightens it to become the Supreme God, the magnitude of this change can barely be called transmutation.
According to existing information or legends, the hunting star god Lan, the intellectual star god Bo Shizun, the breeding star god Taizi Yulos, etc., all meet the conditions for transmutation and ascend to the position of star god as ordinary beings.
Although Lan’s deeds are still controversial, the trajectories of other star gods are not a problem.
Although this kind of thing is rare in the macrocosm, similar phenomena are not uncommon in the microcosm.
Black Tower is naturally no stranger to this.
“Transmutation… This statement is indeed correct, but what you want to talk about should not be a simple phenomenon of ascension to the gods, right?”
Heita looked directly into Su Mo’s eyes. She keenly realized that the target of Su Mo’s research was not the individual Star God itself, but a more essential power.
“”Yes.”
Su Mo nodded calmly.
“There is nothing to study about the phenomenon of ascension to the gods. It is nothing more than that an individual meets the conditions for the opening of destiny, is accepted by the position of the star god, and becomes the corresponding star god.”
“In fact, as long as the same conditions are met, any individual can become a Star God.”
“Therefore, when studying Star Gods, the individual Star Gods themselves are not important, what is important is the Star God position. Where does this personality come from?”
