Chapter 1674: Stepping Into the Galactic Center Black Hole
A situation never before observed: the instant he stepped onto the orbit of the Galactic Center Black Hole, gravity hundreds of times more terrifying seized him, dragging his soul and all matter toward the black hole's center.
Within the orbit of the Galactic Center Black Hole, why do only stars exist, rotating at high speed?
Why are there no asteroids, no planets, as in the Solar System?
Because all those asteroids and planets that originally existed were swallowed by the black hole!
Before this terrifying gravity, except for stars which can resist it, all matter is rapidly pulled into the black hole and does not exist on the black hole's orbit.
Even stars merely resist the black hole's gravity; within a not-very-long cosmic timescale, they too will be swallowed by the black hole.
Greater mass brings stronger gravity.
Continuing for countless hundreds of millions of years, countless suns and masses are swallowed; the black hole's gravity grows ever stronger. In the end, perhaps the entire universe will be swallowed by the black hole, forming a singularity, then exploding again to form a brand-new universe. This is the Big Bang hypothesis.
Such ancient matters Jiang Ding does not consider; he is now facing the terrifying gravity that only stars can resist!
"Such power..."
Jiang Ding looked at his Dharma body.
Threads of sunlight, sword qi, divine sense, and magic power were forcibly attracted out by the black hole, spilling toward the black hole's direction, utterly impossible to block.
The rotation speed of stars like S2 on the Galactic Center Black Hole is already super-high, far exceeding the rotation speed of other celestial bodies.
And his current speed on the Galactic Center Black Hole's orbit is over a hundred times faster than star S2!
If this situation continues, Jiang Ding will be completely swallowed by the black hole in at most a few decades; he will not even wait a thousand years, nor collect much data on the Galactic Center Black Hole.
"I must manifest true star-level mass!"
Jiang Ding said in a deep voice.
Clang!
The Taqing Flying Sword unsheathed, radiating terrifying brilliance that illuminated the four directions of the universe.
This flying sword, after tens of thousands of years of ritual forging, each year swallowed various metallic heavenly treasures and earthly wonders from all realms of heaven and earth, of every rank and every category, even including thirty-six ninth-grade heavenly treasures and earthly wonders counted among the top treasures of the Upper Realm, all taken into this small three-foot-long sword.
Among celestial-scale objects, she was so tiny, so insignificant.
But her mass exceeded that of most planets!
Mass is gravity!
At this moment, when the Taqing Flying Sword revealed its full mass, it also manifested a certain gravity to counter the Galactic Center Black Hole's gravity.
Jiang Ding's speed on the black hole's orbit thereby dropped significantly.
He finally calmed his mind, continuously collecting surrounding Galactic Center Black Hole data, and through data on the black hole's gravity, size, and its effect on space,
deduced and calculated the conditions inside the Galactic Center Black Hole, then used these data to generate the next scripture of the Great Sun Immortal and Mortal Chapter.
Collect data, calculate.
Collect black hole data, calculate.
Repeat endlessly.
Thus, time continued for five hundred years.
Jiang Ding also rotated on the Galactic Center Black Hole's orbit for five hundred years, occasionally crossing paths with many stars; the stars' brilliance shone upon his face, and his brilliance fell upon nearby stars.
In this process, he continuously drew closer to the Galactic Center Black Hole, and had already penetrated one-tenth of the way into the black hole's orbit.
Now, Jiang Ding can live at most another thousand years.
"Data from the outer black hole orbit has been collected."
"I must speed up."
Jiang Ding murmured to himself.
He certainly could not, like the star that fell into the black hole the previous moment, rotate on the black hole's orbit for nearly ten thousand years before completely sinking; he must complete all experiments within a thousand years.
Clang!
The Taqing Flying Sword retracted some of its mass.
Instantly, Jiang Ding's rotation speed on the Galactic Center Black Hole's orbit accelerated, increasing by a huge margin; he circled the Galactic Center Black Hole, completing one revolution in only a few years, and within a few weeks had penetrated to the middle of the black hole's orbit, drawing ever closer to the black hole.
"New valuable data has appeared here; I should stay for some years."
Jiang Ding's eyes brightened.
The Taqing Flying Sword thereby released all its mass, and a brilliant great sun shone in the cosmic starry sky.
But it was not enough; such mass was not enough.
The closer one gets, the more immense the Galactic Center Black Hole's gravity becomes; even though the Taqing Flying Sword released all its mass, it was still dragged by gravity at high speed toward the black hole, and was expected to be completely swallowed by the black hole within at most a hundred years.
"Come."
Jiang Ding gripped the hilt of the Taqing Flying Sword and slashed a sword strike toward heaven and earth.
Boom!
The sun rose in the east, radiating brilliance.
Beside the great sun formed by the Taqing Flying Sword, six Dun De Shi Gao Jie appeared; the sword Dao auras of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth bloomed within the six worlds, the six paths circulating mutually, layer upon layer, forming a heavy Sun Six Paths World descending between heaven and earth, crazily increasing the Taqing Flying Sword's mass.
Heaven and Earth Six Paths, Destroying the Five Elements Sword!
This sword technique now abandoned all killing capabilities, converting them entirely into pure mass, descending between heaven and earth to counter the Galactic Center Black Hole's gravity.
The Taqing Flying Sword's rotation speed on the Galactic Center orbit slowed once more.
Now it is estimated that reaching the Galactic Center Black Hole will take a thousand years, not too hasty.
However, that is only for now.
It can be imagined that as the celestial body draws closer and closer
to the Galactic Center Black Hole, the gravity the celestial body endures will also grow ever more immense; in the end, that terrifying gravity will even swallow light particles, with no escape.
Light flickered in Jiang Ding's eyes as he crazily deduced the conditions inside the Galactic Center Black Hole through surrounding physical constants, generating his own scripture.
Thus it went on for another five hundred years.
At this moment, the Great Sun Sword Lord had already penetrated the final tenth of the black hole vortex orbit, drawing ever closer to the galactic center black hole, on the verge of plunging completely into it.
Crack!
Finally, the Six Paths Sun World formed by the Five Elements Sword of the Six Paths of Heaven and Earth could barely hold on; cracks appeared one after another, and under the increasingly powerful gravity of the galactic center black hole, it was about to shatter.
Jiang Ding's expression shifted slightly.
At this distance from the black hole, if the supermassive weight of the Six Paths Sun World were lost, even a planet like Earth would be swallowed by the galactic center black hole!
Let alone a mere small living being.
"Only one final sword strike remains..."
Jiang Ding whispered.
He had only one final sword strike left.
The remaining power would be poured entirely into his divine soul to serve as the energy source for the sword soul's transformation.
After this strike, he would inevitably be swallowed by the galactic center black hole.
If he could not transcend and transform the sword soul in that instant, death would surely await him.
Clang~
The sound of the Great Clarity Flying Sword's resonance drifted on.
An invisible ripple spread outward to all four directions of heaven and earth, solidifying matter and freezing time, forming a painting of the cosmic starry sky; this painting even actively expanded outward, capturing and influencing several nearby stars, drawing them into the composition to form a single whole.
The Sword of Annihilating Space!
With this strike, the Immortal Dao Sun, the surrounding cosmic space, and several stars merged into a single whole; their mass surged to an extreme degree, generating gravity far exceeding what had come before.
The speed of the youth in green robes along the black hole orbit gradually slowed as he continuously deduced the conditions within the galactic center black hole.
Time continued to flow.
Unknowingly, the final five hundred and some years passed.
The Great Sun Sword Lord's life was nearing its limit; after nearly ten thousand years of spiritual dispersion, his magic power and divine sense were on the brink of complete desiccation.
At this very moment, he and his flying sword reached the edge of the galactic center black hole; the painting formed by the Sword of Annihilating Space cracked and shattered, crumbling into fragments as it marched toward destruction.
The final moment had arrived.
