The moment Chen Jue heard of the Spirit Realm, the Asteroid Belt between Jupiter and Mars surfaced in his mind.
Previously, when he had just left Earth and boarded the Space Station, Chen Jue had discussed the formation of the Moon with several astronauts.
Their discussion had touched on the collision hypothesis of the Moon's birth: differences in the soil structures and rock textures on its near and far sides suggested that it had formed through the collision and compression of two asteroids.
Those two asteroids that formed the Moon had originated in the Asteroid Belt between Jupiter and Mars.
Earth's astronomers had proposed numerous theories about the origins of the Asteroid Belt, but none had yet been conclusively established.
However, the best-known hypothesis, and the one most widely accepted by human academia, was that it had formed after a planet exploded.
"The Spirit Realm... does that mean a planet really once existed between Jupiter and Mars?" Chen Jue's eyes flickered as he continued communicating with the Bixi before him through his Mind Rainbow Light.
But the Bixi clearly had little interest in such historical matters. After sharing a few scattered details about that ancient civilization, it turned its enormous dragon head, glanced at the towering stele standing on its back, and said, "Human! Everything you want to know is actually inside this Civilization Stele!"
"This is a monument Emperor Zhuanxu erected with his own hands. It records everything about your human race, starting from its birth."
"I don't know what the Three Realms are like now. I only remember that after agreeing to Emperor Zhuanxu's request and taking this Civilization Stele onto my back, I slept here in this Imperial Mausoleum ever since."
Hearing this, Chen Jue looked up and surveyed the enormous, gleaming golden stele.
