Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 421 Contract and Renewal

The war did not delay the development of the People's Alliance. On the contrary, as resources were replenished, the momentum of the Alliance's development became even stronger.

Apart from the fact that from time to time some member states would condemn the Human Union in the Star Sea Parliament, and other countries would occasionally send spies to steal the Human Union's technology, everything was so harmonious.

This made Sidney feel much better, until recently, when the appearance of a relic immediately brought her mood back to square one.

If it was an ordinary Pioneer ruins, she would just be happy because it was a good opportunity to discover Pioneer technology. But this newly discovered ruins was not the case.

It is associated with the Event Horizon Signal, and it is located on the Human Union's capital planet, Unity.

Logically speaking, the Human Union had already explored the capital planet long ago, so it was impossible for there to be hidden ruins.

This matter was extremely strange, so to be on the safe side, the federal government quickly sent someone to investigate.

"Are these symbols the Möbius strip and the Ouroboros?" Qingxuan said softly, looking at the symbols on the stone wall.

As a member of the federal special archaeological team, Qingxuan was one of the first people to come into contact with the ruins.

The Federation only sent this small team to investigate because they were afraid that similar disappearances would happen again.

"There is some kind of special fluctuation here, which is very similar to when the horizon signal first appeared. No, it should be said that it is exactly the same." Qing Ming analyzed.

He and Ji Jun rushed here specially to prevent any accidents from happening this time.

"It seems that the ruins of this temple are indeed related to the horizon signal." Ji Jun could not interpret anything except that special fluctuation, so he could only pretend to summarize it.

Qingming glanced at him and reminded him, "Jidu, you can just keep silent and remain mysterious."

"."

Qingxuan ignored the two of them and continued the survey with the archaeological team.

They discovered that there were marks shaped like the Möbius strip and the Ouroboros everywhere in the temple, and some scattered stone tablets were engraved with unknown texts.

"Ouroboros and Möbius strip, these two marks represent infinity and cycles to a large extent." Qingxuan murmured, and his fingers slid across the stone wall with a trace of spiritual power.

In an instant, she knew that this relic was probably thousands of years old.

When she told this conclusion to other members of the archaeological team, they all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Humans only came to the United Star more than two hundred years ago. We have never found any traces of intelligent life on the United Star before. How could this relic exist for so long?"

No matter what they said, the result was indeed true. After using extremely precise instruments for testing, it was finally determined that the ruins were 1,700 years old.

Many people began to suspect that this temple was a relic of former pioneers rather than built by the native intelligent life on this planet.

However, the facts were once again beyond their expectations, because the unknown language engraved on the stone tablets was partially translated.

“The descendants of mankind in later generations”

Even just this first sentence made the members of the archaeological team gasp.

I didn't expect that the United Star has really been the territory of mankind since ancient times.

"Humanity already had interstellar travel technology 1,700 years ago. How could I have such a dream?"

"Seventeen hundred years ago, wasn't that still the Middle Ages? What was the Glorious Middle Ages?"

"I understand. That was the lost golden age of mankind. We should rely on archaeology to develop technology. Wait, it seems we have been doing this for a long time."

They sped up the translation process, and the truth hidden in history was gradually restored.

When the inscription was completely deciphered, all those who knew the truth showed complicated expressions on their faces.

This temple is indeed a relic of humans, but not of humans from the same period as them, but of humans from an unknown era.

The stone tablet recorded the reason why humans could appear in every era, and also let them know about a great existence: the Time Worm.

He is the foundation of the world and the reason why the world keeps restarting.

The first humans accidentally sensed His presence, so He made a covenant with them.

This is the reason why human beings can continue in each era. Even if the world is restarted, human beings will always be born due to various coincidences.

This is the will of the Time Worm.

"The Worm of Time is the Creator, and the Creator has made a covenant with us, but what does He want us to do?"

When this information was handed over to the Academy of Sciences, everyone who saw it had the same reaction as the archaeological team.

There was a mixture of shock and confusion, and soon someone put forward his own opinion.

"It says that cycles are the nature of the Time Worm, and nature is something that is difficult to violate. Could it be that He doesn't want to be in this state and needs our help to get out of it?"

A scientist retorted: "Your guess is too absurd. We can't even get through the restart, so how can we help Him out?"

"Let's think about how to renew the contract. The inscription says that a ceremony must be held every era to renew the contract with Him, otherwise there will most likely be no humans in the next era."

The scientists attending the conference were all leaders of the Academy of Sciences, but even with their brilliant minds, they were unable to come to a conclusion.

There was too little information, and the gaps were too great, for them to have any way of finding out what the Creator was thinking.

Finally, an order from the Grand Marshal's office ended the discussion.

"The Grand Marshal has ordered that the renewal ceremony be studied and held as soon as possible."

Everyone stopped talking, some began to search for overlooked parts in the information sent, and some prepared to go to the temple to investigate in person.

In the circular temple, Ji Jun stared at the circular symbol on the wall, seeming to understand something.

In addition to the loop, it seems to express another part of the meaning.

According to the Academy of Sciences, when the restart begins, time should rewind itself until a singularity is formed.

Inseparable from this process is gravity.

The power of the Dark Star made him more sensitive to similar things, and he used this keen intuition here.

"Gravity. This is the power I feel most deeply."

He murmured to himself, unaware that his inspiration had been elevated to an incredible level.

By the time he became aware of this fact, his enlightenment had already reached a high enough level for him to see what the symbol represented.

Time keeps going back, curled up in an impossible spiral, and it is being tightly grasped by an existence.

"This is the Worm of Time." With just one glance, he naturally knew the name of this existence, and then there was eternal loneliness.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself back in the temple, and everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

Memories flooded back, and after a moment, he remembered who he was.

"Too scary, is this a seventh-order existence? I only took a glance at it, but I felt like I was trapped there for countless years."

Ji Jun didn't dare to look at the circular symbols on the wall again, but these symbols were on the walls of the entire temple.

He could only close his eyes, block his senses, and walk out of the temple following his memory.

"Wait, is this the circular theory?" He paused when he realized that there was something extra in his memory.
