Chapter 139 "We are not alone"

First, Comors is a celestial body in a different dimension from Titan, which cannot be detected by Titan's technology, and it is suspected to exist in another dimension outside the current universe.

According to Joshua's account, "Comers" came from a complete galaxy that orbited a star with enormous energy and mass.

Comors is the outermost planet in this system, similar to Neptune in our solar system.

Around 4500 years ago, for unknown reasons, a chakra opened up two completely unrelated dimensional channels.

Chakras are nodes in the vibrational energy matrix. The energy flow of celestial bodies enters and exits from there, connecting with the reality of other dimensions, which caused Comors in the vast universe to suddenly connect to the coordinates of Titan.

Whenever Comors reaches a designated position in its orbit around the giant star, the connecting channel will cause the galaxy to release gas and light, which will then affect Titan, which is suspected to be in a parallel dimension.

This revolution has a certain periodicity. The information Lin An found did not record it in detail, but it is most likely not once every 4000 years as the system mentioned, but a shorter interval, possibly around 1000 years.

This echoes Mrs. Ava's earlier statement that "it won't be that long."

Neptune's orbital period is 164.8 Titan years. If Comors completes one orbit every 4000 years, it's hard to imagine how enormous its galaxy must be.

However, it's uncertain whether time flows at the same rate in that universe as it does here...

When Comors' orbit reaches a specific position, the chakra located between the two dimensions will be activated, creating a bidirectional flow of energy that allows the energy of the celestial body on the other side to pour in.

No one knows the location of the passage, and its function is very unstable. Apart from the initial full opening, it was only partially open and closed the last two times, so the Titans' mastery of the mystery was fleeting.

This chakra also has the characteristic of a bidirectional magnetic field, and Titan can also influence Comors with gravity.

The latter two times, because there were very few awakened mystics, and the divine mediums and radiation sources were extremely limited, Titan's attraction to Comors weakened, and the passage quickly closed.

In other words, each time Comors reaches a specific position, its energy spills over to Titan. However, the unknown nodes that maintain the connection between the two are sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Only 4500 years ago and today has the energy spread to the entire world, affecting everyone.

During the other two instances of star orbit overlap, only a few people awakened the mystery, and the mystery's effects were weak, the methods were cumbersome, and the effects lasted for a very short time.

The more mystics awaken, the wider the passage opens, and the stronger the diffusion of Comors' energy.

Lin An's understanding of this concept is as follows.

As more and more people awaken to the mystical and increase their radiation levels and use mystical arts, the greater Titan's mass and gravity, the stronger the magnetic field of the node chakras, causing more of the energy flow from the Comos to enter Titan, forming an infinite cycle.

According to Joshua's account, the spillover of energy flow would lead to an increase in the "upper limit" of radiation values.

No wonder he was so confident that by 2036, human radiation levels would not exceed a certain threshold.

It turns out that not only was Comors' orbit not in the optimal position at the time, but Titan's chakra was not fully opened, and Comors' energy flow was not large or pure enough.

Even the most gifted and mysterious individuals are confined to specific criteria.

Lin An thought of a more down-to-earth word.

This is probably what is meant by "the path to immortality is cut off".

There is an upper limit to the radiation level for each time period.

This upper limit will gradually increase as Titan's gravity, the magnetic field of the chakras strengthens, and the channels open.

As the year 2038 arrives, the star orbits converge, and the passage expands. Not only does the number of awakened beings increase, but the radiation levels of the mysterious individuals Lin An encounters also rise significantly.

But they are still suppressed at a certain critical point.

Even though she claimed to have mastered energy and unfortunately awakened a mysterious phenomenon, Lady Ava's radiation level did not reach 100%.

Having grasped the basic concepts of Comors, the two-way channel of dimensions, and energy flow, Lin An finally understood the actions of the inspection team leader.

Under Joshua's management, the Foundation strictly controls the birth of Mystics and regularly "cleans out" awakened Mystics, creating wanted lists and different stances to make official and liberal Mystics wear each other down.

In this way, even if Comors causes the energy flow to spread throughout the world, just like it has for over 4000 years, Joshua can suppress the channel to an acceptable level.

According to pieced-together information, a disaster is about to strike in about two years, in the middle of 2038, the year Lin An lives.

The cause of the "disaster"... is classified.

Lin An couldn't open any of the files that recorded it; he could only read the general information related to it, struggling to find the truth.

The illusion that Brother Deer and Sister Mouse showed him must be this disaster. After returning to reality, he might as well subtly ask them about it.

In short, the "disaster" is related to Comors' chakra.

Joshua resorted to any means to suppress the number of mystics and those who knew Comos because this would effectively contain the upper limit of radiation levels and minimize the harm and casualties caused by the "disaster".

Even if the orbits of Comors and Titan are in the best overlapping position 5 years later, the upper limit of radiation value will not be able to reach 100% due to the limitation of energy flow leakage, and may even be lower.

Although changes at unknown nodes will eventually spread radiation across the globe, the best-case scenario for Project Joshua is that 70% of people will be unaware that they have awakened the mystery, and Comors' orbit will already be far from Titan.

The old order was spared.

In order to achieve his goal, Joshua did not mind affecting ordinary people who had never broken the law.

In his view, if it was necessary to kill 1 million people to shrink the expansion of the chakras, he would not hesitate to execute that group of people, at least to protect the remaining 3.2 million people.

"This is all to save the future of humanity."

Joshua's bloody resolve was displayed in its entirety before Lin An through the flashing electronic screen.

“My fight is not really because I crave power and money, not because I want to be the uncrowned king of the Eagle Kingdom, or to make it easier for people to give me a great title in history books, but to reach a higher good—at any cost.”

Lin An had no intention of criticizing Joshua's behavior; however, as he read, he was reminded of another organization.

Dawn Association.

They plan to popularize Comors' concepts in every household across the Eagle Nation, and even intend to develop a formal, legal, and streamlined education and welfare system. Under the Dawn Association's management model, an era in which mastering the mysterious becomes commonplace is about to arrive.

If Joshua's aim was to suppress the expansion of dimensional channels, the Dawn Society clearly intended to open up the chakras of Titan and Comors as much as possible, increasing the upper limit of radiation values ​​without limit until the value reached a level they were satisfied with.

What are they trying to do now?
Although Joshua's ideas and methods were a bit "Spartan," Lin An could at least barely understand his logic.

Compared to him, the true purpose of the Dawn Society is shrouded in a much thicker fog.

Thinking of ancient myths, Lin An's lips twitched.

Gravity, magnetic fields, chakras... the power of faith?
Is the Dawn Society trying to "create a god"?

I hope I'm overthinking it; otherwise, it might be better to let Joshua take charge of the Eagle Kingdom's official Mystic Association.

At least that Spartan fanatic was concerned about the survival of humanity in a distorted way...

Like the three major factions in Dietrich, both the Inspectorate and the Dawn Society are a contest of who is worse, each with their own ulterior motives.

Sigh, we've already come all this way, and we've already killed him; it's unrealistic to resurrect Joshua now.

Putting aside the gloomy speculations, Lin An organized the remaining data.

He really wanted to know how the "chakras" were opened.

Titan has existed for hundreds of millions of years, so why didn't it connect with the dimension where Comors reside in ancient times?
Around 5000 years after the development of human civilization, a channel linking the two dimensions suddenly and inexplicably appeared.

To speculate even more boldly, the intelligent beings of ancient times were also projected by Comors, but because that civilization and its records were completely destroyed, no evidence was left.

With his long-standing doubts resolved, Lin An found himself with even more lingering thoughts.

Why can only humans be exposed to Comoros radiation?
Why are animals and plants unaffected?

Why do different people attract different "divine mediums" and radiation sources, generating different types of concepts, and thus be able to control these energy flows in different ways?

And why are divine mediums so closely related to personality, thoughts, and behavior?
Lin An's question was not answered in the materials that Joshua had opened; he only found a very blurry page of a letter.

The ornate cursive script is quite different from Joshua's own handwriting.

"This planet has nurtured an advanced civilization whose inhabitants are products of independent and parallel evolution."

"More than four thousand years ago, the 'Comers' side actively created bidirectional chakras, perhaps in order to make contact with another civilization in the solar system, or perhaps... however..."

"No, dear Jordan, according to the existing theoretical framework, we can only accept... We have a lot of information, but many questions regarding Comers' laws and understanding remain unresolved..."

With just a few strokes of the pen, the letter came to an abrupt end.

Lin An held the paper up to the light and saw the signature that had been deliberately erased.

—Your cousin, Nelly.

Was she a member of the Canaanite family?
Having memorized her name, Lin An pushed all the files to one side of the desktop.

"Commerx" is suspected to be the work of an extraterrestrial civilization...

Lin An was deeply troubled. He looked up at the gradually crumbling image of the church, processing the new information.

While shocked, he was not surprised.

Since ancient times, mysticism has been inextricably linked to celestial bodies, unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and extraterrestrial life forms.

Concepts such as Heaven, Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Immortal Realm, and the Six Paths of Heaven all illustrate that the realm of deities exists in the universe beyond the atmosphere.

In the past, astrological, philosophical, and theological explanations dominated, but they were too abstract and difficult to understand. It was only in modern times that scientific methods, which are more easily accepted by the public, emerged.

As stated in the first sentence of the paper published by the space agency, "We are not alone in the universe."

The mystery's realization stemmed from a change in the orbit of a certain celestial body, and the importance of astronomy had already been emphasized to Lin An.

He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

That's an incredible fact.

Continuing to review the materials, there was nothing of note; they were mostly related to operations and didn't mention how to reduce contamination of the "knowledge seeker" medium.

Considering that most of the mysterious individuals keep their contamination level around 30%, Lin An believes the system is still quite safe.

Moreover, his physical and mental health were not affected.

It's already 10 a.m. If we can hold on for two more days, Lin An will be able to finish the story perfectly and return to reality.

The trip was still very rewarding. It was a pity that Joshua's entry was not included, but we obtained some confidential information about Comors held by the family and also understood the reasons for the previous actions of the inspection team.

Lin An hadn't slept all night, and exhaustion overwhelmed him. Just as he was about to rest his head on the table, he was woken up by a notification sound.

"Drip drip!"

He rubbed his eyes and pressed the connection button.

Then, the smiling face of the Jericho General appeared on the display screen.
