This is a dark place in the universe where no starlight can illuminate the earth; there is no star here, only endless fragments of celestial bodies.
This is the star system where the Shenhe Civilization once stood, but unfortunately, its former glory is gone, leaving only desolation.
Over the past decade or so, a mysterious visitor has come here, wandering like a lost soul through this desolate Hell, searching for something.
"Really!"
One day, that lone, ghostly being finally found what it was looking for: a strange aura etched onto a piece of broken star.
This solitary, ghostly being was none other than Wang Hao, or more precisely, the soul of Wang Hao's demonic avatar.
More than a decade ago, he used the Spacetime Universe Engine on the Demon One to quickly descend to the ruins of the Shenhe Civilization, where he searched diligently for fifteen years before finally finding what he was looking for.
"It is indeed a completely different universe, with significant differences in principles and theories."
Carefully extracting the mysterious aura from the star, Wang Hao connected with his main body, who was still being pursued, and activated his Dao Comprehension Function to fully comprehend and analyze this strange aura. He quickly obtained a result.
Although his cultivation has not fully recovered, he is still at the True Spirit Realm. In addition, with the system's Dao Comprehension Function boosting his comprehension by one major realm, his comprehension is now no less than that of Peak Daluo expert.
It's not difficult to comprehend the residual aura of this alien universe, and the existence of this alien universe has been basically confirmed.
This eerie aura is remarkably consistent with the Dark Energy of the Dark Plane and the spatial wormhole, indirectly proving that the Dark Energy, Dark Plane, and spatial wormhole are indeed products of another universe.
Judging from this aggressive nature, that alien universe should be eroding or even devouring the native universe, while the native universe instinctively fights back, and the stalemate has evolved into its current state.
However, judging from the Dark Energy Dark Plane and the space wormholes that permeate the entire native universe, the native universe seems to be at an absolute disadvantage, and even the will of the universe is being suppressed.
Perhaps in less than a thousand years, this universe will be completely eroded, and at that time all life in the native universe will perish, eventually turning into nutrients to nourish the alien universe.
This discovery gave Wang Hao a huge headache. The situation in the native universe was already quite complicated, but now a hidden alien universe had emerged, making the situation dozens or even hundreds of times more complicated.
This is truly Hell difficulty!
With a headache, Wang Hao decisively left the ruins of the Shenhe Civilization star system and flew towards the nearest inhabited planet.
Liang Bing had spent some time in the Shenhe Civilization and had a detailed understanding of the surrounding situation. This data was recorded in the database of Demon One.
Having downloaded the entire demon database, he was quite familiar with this place. However, that data was from tens of thousands of years ago, and after so many years, he didn't know if that life-bearing planet still existed.
After a year of searching, Wang Hao finally arrived at a young but ancient star system.
It's considered young because, according to Liang Bing's database, this star system isn't very old, about the same age as the Chiwu Star System, which is part of our Solar System. This star is actually quite young.
However, the once young star has now strangely entered old age, and the entire star is glowing with an eerie scarlet red color, which is a sign that the star is about to die and has reached the form of a red giant.
"Was it because the Shenhe Civilization was destroyed and thus affected?"
After observing the red giant star that was slowly heading towards its death, Wang Hao roughly understood what was going on.
The destruction of the Shenhe Civilization star system had a wide-ranging impact, not only wiping out the entire galaxy but also affecting surrounding star systems, including this particular star system, causing the stars here to age faster and eventually transform into red giants.
"Huh? There's still life here, interesting!"
Looking towards the ancient life-bearing planet recorded in the demon database, and seeing the data returned, Wang Hao was astonished, because there were actually a large number of life forms on that ancient life-bearing planet.
A remarkably strong life form, its vitality alone is comparable to that of a first-generation super soldier.
Indeed, to survive in a red giant galaxy, one really needs to be in good physical condition.
Without hesitation, Wang Hao controlled the soul entity to rush towards the ancient life star ahead.
"Amu, I'm hungry!"
A thin, frail child lay in his mother's arms, weakly gnawing on a stone, clearly extremely hungry.
Similarly, the women themselves were no better off; they were nothing but skin and bones—this wasn't just a figure of speech, but a fact.
The evolution of red giants led this once thriving ancient planet to its demise. Over tens of thousands of years, the environment became increasingly harsh, and the amount of edible food dwindled.
Although the Titan Clan evolved powerful bodies and digestive abilities with the environment, they could even digest stones.
But after tens of thousands of years, even the stones that could barely be used to stave off hunger have been gnawed away, and now everyone is just waiting to die.
"Grind it with your teeth and you won't be hungry anymore!"
Holding her child, whose life force was dwindling, the mother fought back tears welling in her eyes and uttered lies that even she didn't believe.
God, what have we done wrong?
Why did we turn our home into such Hell?
Time passed, and eventually the last vestiges of life force within the child and mother withered away, turning them into two corpses.
Not long after, a cold wind swept by, and the child, who had seemed lifeless, slowly opened his eyes. He looked at his withered and emaciated hands and feet and couldn't help but sigh gloomily.
"This is a really bad start!"
That's right, this child is none other than Wang Hao, who has been reborn through possession, or more precisely, the soul of Wang Hao's demonic clone.
He was already extremely familiar with the matter of possession, but the selection of a body for possession was extremely demanding.
Only a body that is perfectly compatible with one's own soul can undergo a flawless possession and rebirth, and possess unlimited potential for development.
In search of a suitable body, he had wandered this ancient planet of life for months, and finally just now discovered this child who was compatible with him.
Although the other party was dead and extremely weak, none of that mattered; he had plenty of ways to deal with it.
After his soul had completely merged into this body, Wang Hao incorporated the traces of his predecessor's genes, which were sealed within his soul, into this body, making it even more compatible with his own soul.
It is said that this body and his soul are a perfect match, but there are still some flaws.
Although these flaws are negligible, if ignored, they will become fatal weaknesses in advancing to the Great Firmament Realm in the future.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this, so when he left, he retained a portion of his predecessor's genes, which was enough to completely resolve these flaws.
With the integration of his predecessor's genes, Wang Hao's control over this body directly increased to a new level.
Without daring to delay, he squeezed out the last potential of this body, stimulating the special Demonic Energy resulting from the fusion of the genes of his predecessor and the genes of this body. He then used the Demonic Energy to transform this body, turning it into a powerful Demonic Body.
However, the first part he modified was his stomach!
Due to the rapid evolution of stars, the Titan Clan, who already possessed a strong ability to adapt and evolve, developed powerful bodies in response to changes in the environment and their own needs, with their most powerful feature being their stomachs.
That's a powerful organ that can even digest hard minerals. If all the digestible minerals on this ancient planet hadn't been devoured, these Tai Tan could probably have continued for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, until the red giant truly formed and brought an end to this ancient planet.
What Wang Hao needs to do now is to use Demonic Energy to further enhance the already powerful digestive function of this Tai Tan's body, strengthening it to the point that it can digest those indigestible ores.
Only in this way can he obtain enough matter and energy to maintain the vitality of this body and thus become stronger.
Only in this way can the entire Titan Clan be led out of their predicament and usher in a new future.
That's right, he plans to establish a branch base based on the remaining Titan Clan on this ancient life-giving planet.
It's important to understand that Earth is currently under the attention of most civilizations in the universe, making it extremely difficult to develop there.
It's almost obvious that as the main body leads Earth to rise, it will inevitably face further attacks from various cosmic civilizations, and war will follow.
Therefore, that place was not a very good base, but unfortunately, the Great Xia people there were his chosen staunch supporters, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
Of course, this was just a forced attempt, but it didn't mean he would just stubbornly stick to it. Therefore, it was necessary to establish a branch base in space.
With the aid of Demonic Energy, Wang Hao's already powerful digestive system surged once again. He then summoned a smaller ore from the ground and forcibly swallowed it, using his enhanced digestive system to process it.
And so, Wang Hao slowly gnawed at the hard ore, converting it into Demonic Energy to continue transforming his Demonic Body. By the time he had completed the transformation of every part of his body, a month had passed.
The month had also brought about tremendous changes in Wang Hao. His body was that of a 120-year-old boy, which, according to the Titan Clan's average lifespan of 600 years, was equivalent to a 12 or 13-year-old child on Earth.
However, the reason this race was named Tai Tan is because this race has a physical structure that is very different from that of humans on Earth, most notably in terms of size.
Although this body is only 120 years old and not yet an adult, its height has reached an astonishing two meters. According to the average height of three meters for the Titan Clan, this body will reach at least three meters in height after adulthood.
Worthy of the name Tai Tan!
Of course, physical size is secondary. The original form of the Titan Clan is impossible to ascertain. Now, after tens of thousands of years of transformation and evolution, the Tai Tan have consumed large amounts of metal ores, and more than 80% of the cells in their bodies are made up of metal atoms.
This endowed the Titan Clan with extremely powerful bodies, and Wang Hao's body inherited this advantage as well, even being enhanced in this aspect due to Demonic Energy.
"I think I know what kind of alias I should create next!"
Standing up, looking at the purplish-red skin on his hands, then silently scrunching his shiny forehead, and finally rubbing his broad chin, Wang Hao imagined a film character that perfectly matched his own image.
Now let's use this pseudonym to make a name for ourselves!
