Chapter 716: Chapter 711: Cyan Dragon 287
Bai Pu received a prompt.
[Preparing to initiate space jump. This jump will utilize the predetermined cosmic coordinates: Silver Heart Great World (Code: TC80942) - Cyan Dragon Division - Jiuxiu Nine.]
[This space jump will consume 4.7% of the Earth Vein Energy Storage. To restore the Earth Vein Energy Storage, the surface temperature will drop by 22.98 degrees Celsius over the next ten years. Do you wish to proceed?]
The effect of Earth Vein Energy Storage on surface temperature has been verified before, and the principle is straightforward.
The energy from the Sun Star irradiates Earth’s surface. A small portion of the heat is reflected back, while most of it is trapped by greenhouse gases and enters the geothermal system.
Interstellar jumps consume a large amount of Earth Vein Energy Storage, causing Earth to absorb a substantial amount of energy to restore it. As a result, the energy entering the geothermal system decreases, leading to a sudden temperature drop.
Of course, the energy inside the Earth is released through volcanic activity, earthquakes, and plate movements, among other things, also affecting surface temperatures. However, the impact of geological activity on temperatures is minimal and can be disregarded.
Earth Vein Energy Storage is extremely important and can be considered Earth’s lifeline.
If Earth Vein Energy Storage is not restored promptly, it will eventually be drained, and Earth will become a lifeless planet like the Moon.
However, if Earth’s temperature does drop by 22.98 degrees Celsius, it would be a catastrophic disaster, causing immeasurable damage to Earth’s ecological environment.
Bai Pu said, "Earth Vein Energy Storage needs to be restored, but we must consider the negative impact on surface temperature. The Earth Core Space can absorb additional solar energy, but this must not be rushed; a hundred-year restoration period is also feasible."
Originally, Earth Vein Energy Storage would be restored in ten years, with the Earth core absorbing a massive amount of heat each year. Now Bai Pu has extended the timeline to a hundred years, reducing the annual heat absorption by the Earth core, significantly lowering the impact on surface temperatures.
[Acknowledged. Over the next hundred years, the surface temperature will decrease by 5.11 degrees Celsius.]
Bai Pu sighed in relief. A conventional temperature drop of 5 degrees indeed poses a significant impact, potentially causing the polar ice caps to expand greatly and sea levels to fall, which in the Common Era would be a terrifying catastrophe possibly leading to mass species extinction.
However, this is the Spiritual Era Earth, and the species on today’s Earth have much greater survival capabilities due to the radiation from Spiritual Particles than in any other historical period.
Most Earth species should be able to withstand this century-long temperature shift...right?
This interstellar jump leaves the Solar System, but it’s all right. When exchanging for the Planet Power Core, Gaia’s Will provided a usable cosmic coordinate for the Silver Heart Great World—Silver Heart Great World, which also has a Sun Star, offering a cosmic environment similar to Earth’s at the current cosmic coordinates.
Otherwise, Bai Pu wouldn’t dare to initiate the interstellar jump.
From Earth’s many mountain peaks, a rich white light emerged, transforming into an invisible Spiritual Essence wave that quickly expanded, an invisible fine light grid rapidly covering the entire Earth.
In that instant, the entire Earth, including all life on its surface, became Spiritual Essence.
The next second, the blue Earth vanished from the Solar System.
In the original position of Earth, only the exotic red Yazd Star remained, taking over Earth’s orbit.
With one less star, the "Harmony" structure once stabilized by Spiritual Particles dissolved, reverting to gravitational determination.
The Moon was captured by Yazd Star’s gravity, becoming one of Yazd Star’s satellites.
Yazd Star, captured by the Sun’s gravity, replaced Earth, becoming a new member of the Solar System.
The Sea Race and Yazd People remaining on Yazd Star were at a loss and hurriedly reported to their main base on the distant Stilan Star via Spiritual Essence communication methods.
...
In a distant Star Domain.
A grand temple surpassing planets silently floated in the cosmic void, surrounded by small asteroids orbiting it.
Above the temple, coiled thorns, twisted tentacles, and withered black mist faced each other across the void.
Massive, terrifying Thought Senses streamed between the three anomalies.
"The plan to occupy Sea Blue Star has failed."
"An Earth native became Gaia’s Hand. He took away Sea Blue Star (Earth)."
"This doesn’t impact the ’Galactic War Plan.’ Sea Blue Star was originally a stepping stone for locating Silver Heart Great World within the Galaxy Star System. Although Sea Blue Star has fled, Red Flame Star (Yazd Star) has taken its place."
"Continue searching for other Spiritual Ability Planets in the Galaxy Star System to find the third stepping stone...then we can complete the lock on Silver Heart Great World and force open a portal."
"Silver Heart Great World...also belongs to the Intestine Carver."
The three anomalies returned to silence.
...
Silver Heart Great World, Lingshu City.
This is a supercity.
In the city’s center stood the towering "Tower of Babel," with gaseous talismans flickering between the layers of flowing liquid metal on its outer walls.
Surrounding it were transparent chidaos crisscrossing the sky. In these chidaos, spherical floating vehicles sped along.
A bustling, busy, yet orderly scene.
Atop Babel Tower in Lingshu City, an elderly human in a daoist robe gazed at the starlit sky.
"A new star has appeared in the eastern Cyan Dragon Division, with brightness between 1.2 and 1.5."
The elderly human stroked his beard, "It should be a recently jumped Human Race planet. Judging by the brightness of its Spiritual Particles, it’s likely only Tier One lower... let’s temporarily name it ’Cyan Dragon 287.’ Got it recorded?"
A young man, also in a daoist robe, nodded, "Recorded. Master, why can’t I see the new star appearing?"
"The Spiritual Particle concentration of this new star is very low, so the Spiritual Essence brightness is dim. It’s normal that you can’t see it."
The daoist elder waved his hand and said, "Next, we need to calculate this new star’s coordinates and report them to Lord City Lord. However, given this new star’s dim brightness, Lord City Lord is probably not interested. What I’m curious about is whether it’s a primordial planet or an inherited planet."
...
A scene of Earth fixed in time.
According to the Sun Star’s illumination, one half of Earth is in daylight, the other in night.
Daytime area.
"Have we really left the Solar System? That damned Yazd Star is finally gone!"
"Did we escape the apocalypse? It seems no different from before, still with blue skies and white clouds, even the Sun looks exactly the same..."
In the daylight area, Earth’s humans, who experienced the interstellar jump journey, were somewhat perplexed.
Meanwhile, those in the night area were utterly terrified.
As they looked up at the night sky, apart from the unfamiliar starlight scattered across, there hung an enormous "moon" in the night that was truly frightening!
The apparent diameter of this moon was ten, even a hundred times the original Moon’s diameter, colorful and exuding a dangerous beauty.
It felt like looking at Earth from a space overlooking perspective.
