The scene of undergoing the tribulation.
Listening to Zhuo Yuanxin's report on the test results.
Everyone's expressions were somewhat complex.
Heavenly tribulation.
The Nascent Soul threshold that has existed in the Damo Realm since ancient times, could it possibly be an artificial segment?
Undoubtedly.
This is a piece of news that could shatter the heavens.
It can even be said to be the most earth-shattering and significant discovery since the rabbits arrived in the Damo Realm.
"...."
After a moment of silence.
Lin Ziming rolled up his sleeves, pointed to his left arm and said to everyone:
"Academician Zeng, look, I've got goosebumps."
Zeng Gu Cheng made the same gesture, raised his arm and said with a wry smile:
"Same here."
Then Lin Ziming suddenly thought of something.
He turned his head to look at Yang Zhengchu inside the crystal array, and felt a chill in his heart for some reason:
"Academician Zeng, do you think if Yang Zhengchu knew the heavenly tribulation he is undergoing is actually an artificial construct....
might his Dao Heart collapse?"
Zeng Gu Cheng was silent for a few seconds, then sighed:
"If nothing unexpected happens, it probably would.
But then again, it's not just Yang Zhengchu.
If this news is publicized, it is likely to cause a huge upheaval in the entire Damo Realm."
According to the information mastered by the rabbits.
The heavenly tribulation is a key segment in the entire cultivation system.
At its minimum, it appears during the breakthrough from the Foundation Establishment to the Core Formation Realm, but this basic heavenly tribulation doesn't involve the so-called Heart Demon Tribulation, and the formation isn't very large.
Of course.
For Loose Cultivators or ordinary cultivators, the Core Formation Realm's thunder tribulation isn't an easy hurdle to overcome either.
For example, Wei Siming, one of the founders of Chixian City, fell in this segment.
From this realm onward, cultivators must undergo the baptism of the heavenly tribulation with each upward breakthrough.
According to existing intelligence.
This generation of cultivation civilization has lasted for about twenty thousand years.
And even the strongest in the entire history of civilization had to undergo the heavenly tribulation before breaking through to a higher realm.
And this crucial segment that runs through the entire history of civilization....
turns out to be artificial?
This is somewhat chilling.
But then again.
Although the discovery of the heavenly tribulation is undoubtedly striking, when the remnant electrical energy was first detected in the slabs, the rabbits had vaguely known there's a powerful pre-existing civilization.
Plus, since the rabbits themselves came from another world, their acceptance of scientific systems is actually higher than that of the natives.
Therefore, it wasn't long before everyone's mood gradually calmed down.
Then Lin Ziming looked up at the sky, and a surge of curiosity suddenly arose within him, asking:
"Academician Zeng, if the heavenly tribulation is really a creation left by a civilization...
then how advanced was that civilization?"
This question clearly piqued Zeng Gu Cheng's interest, and he thought seriously for a moment before saying:
"If the entire heavenly tribulation were completely controlled by artificial means from beginning to end, then at the very least, that civilization started as an interstellar civilization.
It might even have been a high-dimensional or even supra-dimensional civilization.
The local studies on lightning are actually numerous, but controlling the formation of such a vast tribulation cloud.....
Old Guo, you're the meteorology expert, how many years ahead do you think such technology is?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Zhenyu stroked his Mediterranean and said:
"Countries around the world are actually researching this field, but progress has always been limited.
Even if Damo Realm's lightning is easier to form and only aggregates to the scale of the thundercloud in Yang Zhengchu's tribulation...
I estimate it would take at least another thirty years to achieve, let alone modifying the tribulation cloud."
Just as Guo Zhenyu said.
Currently on Earth, any country with research capabilities is engaged in lightning research.
The country currently at the forefront of lightning research is Maple Country.
They started considering the possibility of artificial lightning since the 1960s.
Next is Gaul.
The Lei Radie Laboratory's fame in the relevant fields is about as widespread as Gaul's white flag.
Damo isn't very behind in this regard either, for example, the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences' artificial lightning tests have even trended on social media.
But in reality.
Both the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Lei Radie Laboratory.
Their artificial lightning doesn't increase the lightning cloud's charge, nor does it change the cloud's position or movement direction.
The so-called artificial lightning is merely using artificial lightning rockets to drag a thin wire into the sky.
Then letting the rocket make contact with the current at the cloud's edge, thus drawing down the lightning.
So at this stage, artificial lightning is still experimental.
At most, it's occasionally used for research.
The academic understanding of lightning is still inadequate, as many of the equations regarding lightning discharges are experiential formulae and equations summed up from observations, far from exploring the essence of lightning.
If the essence remains unexplored.
There's no basis for modifying lightning to achieve certain specific energy levels.
Therefore, Guo Zhenyu's statement is actually somewhat conservative.
Considering the reality is more complex than imagined.
For instance, many dogs on Earth won't kindly let you smoothly conduct research.
"Interstellar civilization...."
Lin Ziming rubbed his chin thoughtfully:
"This somewhat resembles the scene Teacher Mingmou once saw on the slab.
The civilization depicted on the slab undoubtedly had the capability for interstellar travel and stellar modification.
However, according to Teacher Mingmou's description, their situation seemed dire at that time...."
Ma Ning also recalled this incident and nodded gently:
"Yes, according to Teacher Mingmou, it seemed that the civilization was either fleeing or migrating.
In any case, their state was likely problematic."
Back when Mingmou learned the "Great Deduction Method", Lin Li once sought his prediction on the slab.
According to Mingmou's description at the time.
He saw a colossal star, evidently a red supergiant, collapsing layer by layer.
Some black cubes, each about seven to eight meters in height and resembling Rubik's cubes, fell from the void and were engulfed by the flames of the collapsing star.
At the same time, several vermilion coffins drifted out from a nearby planet, aimlessly sailing through the galaxy.
Invisible chains in the void emitted decaying, ear-piercing friction sounds, as if trying to imprison the whole universe.
However, no living souls appeared throughout the entire imagery.
Honestly speaking.
The scene Mingmou saw was filled with information, yet its accuracy couldn't be guaranteed.
To be blunt.
It's uncertain whether this was so-called an 'illusion array'.
It surely wouldn't be ignored, but the command center didn't pay overly special attention to it either.
Yet with the current discovery regarding the heavenly tribulation, that starry imagery now appears intriguing.
That scene was derived through the slab, so the stellar civilization is undoubtedly the pre-existing civilization of the Damo Realm.
Why would such an advanced civilization need to migrate?
Did they encounter an enemy?
Additionally, a more crucial point....
What relationship do they hold with the current cultivation civilization of the Damo Realm?
At this moment, the Fire Camp is also engaged in related discussions.
The one expressing opinions now is the recently arrived Academician Pan:
"If previously our information was limited, theoretically there was a possibility of the two being non-intersecting civilizations of one planet and two periods.
But now with the discovery of the heavenly tribulation, this possibility can undoubtedly be excluded—because every procedure of the thunder tribulation matches the cultivation system.
Of course.
We might speculate otherwise. The original success rate of the thunder tribulation wasn't so low.
Maybe some error occurred in the transmission of the current cultivation system, thus misusing the thunder tribulation.
But regardless.
There must be a significant connection between the pre-existing civilization and the cultivation system.
The founding figure of the current cultivation civilization might have been a fortunate one who accidentally inherited from the pre-existing civilization, or the pre-existing civilization might once have been a protector, observer, etc., of the current civilization....
Or they might have.... a captive relationship!
