Nebula are dense, but they are still just Nebula. Human creations can penetrate even Gaseous Planet, so entering the interior of Nebula is naturally no problem for them.

The radius of this Nebula is not actually that large for current human navigation technology, and there is no need to explore the entire Nebula. Human scientists are simply curious about what phenomena they have never seen before, so after the Probe Spaceship entered the Nebula, it went straight for those shimmering spots.

Upon closer inspection, humans discovered that these flashing spots could actually move, especially after the Probe Spaceship approached; the flashing spots moved as if Flowing Water.

At first, humans thought it was a coincidence, but as the Probe Spaceship approached, the flashes of light repeatedly moved away from it. It was then that humans realized these flashes of light might be a way of detecting the approaching Probe Spaceship.

To verify this hypothesis, humans instructed the Probe Spaceship to head directly towards the flashing lights. As expected, the flashing lights did indeed avoid the Probe Spaceship.

"Could those flashing spots be some kind of living creature? Or perhaps creations of some Alien Civilization?"

The former sparked great interest among humans, while the latter made them more cautious. However, regardless of the reason, human exploration will not cease; after all, even if problems arise, it's just a few Probe Spaceship —there are plenty of humans to go.

With this in mind, humanity then sent out more Probe Spaceship to delve into the Nebula to collect and observe data, especially focusing on the observation of flashes of light.

However, the deeper humans went into the Nebula, the more glittering points they discovered, and even large patches of what looked like Fluorescent Powder appeared, as if they were gathering places for these glittering points.

Driven by curiosity, a Probe Spaceship traveled light-years to the area where the 'Fluorescent Powder' was located. However, before the Probe Spaceship could even get within an Astronomical Unit of the 'Fluorescent Powder' area, humans discovered that this 'Fluorescent Powder' immediately began to move from its quiet state, just like the previous flashes of light. Then, like a swarm of fireflies in the sky trying to escape their pursuers, it moved away from the Probe Spaceship.

However, its movement speed is very slow, no different from an ant walking in front of the Probe Spaceship.

However, just when humanity thought the Probe Spaceship could easily get close to the patch of 'Fluorescent Powder' and even collect some for research, what happened next left everyone bewildered. They all saw that when the Probe Spaceship approached within a few kilometers of them, the patch of 'Fluorescent Powder' suddenly disappeared.

Of course, it's not that it disappears from sight, but rather that it truly vanishes from human detection methods.

Human Probe Spaceship are equipped with more than just optical detection methods. In other words, the 'Fluorescent Powder' formed by these light spots either has some ability to evade detection, or everything that happened before was due to a malfunction of the human probes, or they really left using some method unknown to humans.

After careful consideration, humans felt that the first possibility was more likely.

If the detector malfunctions, the monitoring system will definitely issue a warning, and humans are quite confident in their creations. As for the possibility of some kind of Teleportation ability, it is even smaller. After all, if such an ability existed, why would they wait until human detectors got close before using it?

The sudden disappearance of the clusters of glittering spots made humans doubt their previous judgments.

After a round of observations, scientists ruled out the possibility that it was an extraterrestrial creation. They believed it was most likely some kind of magical natural phenomenon, although some people thought it was some kind of alien life form.

Why would a natural phenomenon avoid a human Probe Spaceship? It must be some kind of extraterrestrial life form. Only living beings have the instinct to avoid such things and the means to hide themselves, just like the camouflage and feigning death skills of some amazing creatures on Earth.

However, the information transmitted back by the probe once again New Humans perception, because the Probe Spaceship detected that the missing 'Fluorescent Powder' had actually appeared in an area thousands of kilometers away.

It was at this time that other Probe Spaceship also discovered the same phenomenon. They found that these light spots seemed to Teleportation, disappearing from their original positions and reappearing thousands of kilometers away whenever a ship approached.

Upon witnessing this situation, even the most knowledgeable people would immediately think of the words: Quantum Macro Tunneling!

However, people soon realized they were wrong. This phenomenon of disappearing from one place and reappearing in another was completely different from what the Precursor's Rhomboid Crystal had shown, so it was definitely not Quantum Macro Tunneling.

So what exactly is it?

More Probe Spaceship were sent out, which allowed humans to simultaneously probe multiple regions and multiple target locations. As a result, humans discovered an interesting phenomenon.

That is, as one light spot disappears in one place, another light spot will light up hundreds to thousands of kilometers away. This ebb and flow occurs almost instantaneously, and the delay is imperceptible to current human detection methods. Therefore, many scientists believe that it is not another light spot, but the same light spot.

Sure enough, after a period of observation, it was found that it was indeed the same spot of light.

"It might really be some kind of Space Creature!"

Just as many people were thinking this, the observation results once again made them deeply doubt their judgment, because a certain Probe Spaceship was lucky enough to capture details of the so-called 'luminous spot', only to find to their surprise that the luminous spot was actually empty.

And this flickering light seems to have no source.

Humans initially thought the light was emitted by some kind of organism composed of hydrogen ions, but it turned out not to be. Instead, it seemed to be emanating from the empty void of space, as if the light source had no physical form.

This result greatly surprised humanity, and people began to believe that the appearance of these light spots was a natural phenomenon.

At this point, the human opinion on what the light spots were was once again divided into two parts: one part insisted that they were some kind of magical natural phenomenon, while the other part believed that they were some kind of magical Void creatures.

Just label something as 'magical' if you don't recognize it or have never seen it before.

Humans have tried to capture these light spots for research, but they have been unable to do so. Not only do they dodge away as if they were living creatures, but the fact that no physical light source has been found leaves people at a loss.

Unable to give up after the observations and probes yielded no results, scientists embarked on a bold experimental plan to figure out what these light spots were.
