Two days later, in the deep night.
Rakien couldn't sleep, tossing and turning in bed, noticed Old Kahn still sitting by the window, smoking. With a sly smile, he winked, and the two woke up Young Kahn, pulling him out for a walk outside the old house. Tonight was cloudless, and they stood under the vast starry sky, bathed in a strange glow. It was unusually quiet for a summer night, different from usual. They felt something was off; this wasn't the sky they knew, but a completely different world. A soft wind rustled in their ears, mingled with an indescribable low hum, as if the entire universe was breathing.
Suddenly, an energy encircled them, and they could faintly sense a powerful force field embracing them. Rakien was a bit panicked, what was happening!
As they were puzzled, a flash of light streaked across the sky, and a huge shadow slowly emerged. It was a massive spaceship, its hull crystal clear, as if composed of some liquid metal, with flowing patterns interweaving on the surface, presenting a peculiar beauty. The spaceship hovered quietly in the air, emitting a soft glow, as if it was a part of the universe itself.
"Greetings, friends from Oklara," a deep and peaceful voice entered their minds, the sound seemingly not transmitted through any sound waves, as if it directly emerged in their consciousness! Along with it came a strong intuition; they knew the owner of the voice was a highly developed intelligent life.
A beam of light projected from the spaceship, enveloped the panicked trio, lifting them gently towards the ship. The scene left the three dazed, their minds blank, the entire process quiet as a dream, without any sense of pressure.
As they approached the spaceship, a circular ring opened immediately, and they entered the interior, greeted by a world full of a futuristic feel. The surrounding walls, floors, and ceilings seemed to be composed of some flowing photonic material, bright and dark, as if breathing. The entire space presented a soft blue tone, filled with tranquility and harmony.
A being approached them. This creature had a refined face, its appearance seemingly combining human features with the delicate lines of some extraterrestrial being. Her eyes were clear and profound, radiating a deep wisdom, as if she could see through everything. Her body was light and elegant, her skin emitting a faint blue glow, as if she could blend into the surrounding environment.
"I am Malin," she smiled slightly, her voice as if carrying a strange musical sense. "I come from the Alames System, representing an extraterrestrial race of justice and light, and also an interstellar alliance diplomat. You are here because the resonant power of the universe is guiding you, and you have awakened earlier than ordinary people and done many good deeds. Oklara is at an important turning point, and we plan to help you."
"Resonant power?" "Alames System?" "Interstellar Alliance?" Rakien asked in confusion, his heart filled with countless questions.
"Every corner of the universe exists resonance and fluctuation, consciousness and energy are interconnected. Your world is heading towards destruction due to the accumulation of negative energy. We, the positive interstellar civilizations, choose to intervene at this time to uphold the justice and evolutionary direction of the universe," Malin said, with a light wave of her hand, a huge holographic projection emerging before them.
The projection showed the history of Oklara, wars, conspiracies, human greed and struggle, rapidly flashing before their eyes. A sense of oppression from the development of technology and civilization washed over them, now showing a more grand cosmic scene.
"The negative extraterrestrial races have been active deep within the crust of Oklara, they are a low-grade predatory civilization, using human ignorance and greed to try to turn this planet into their permanent colony. But you are not incapable of change," Malin's voice remained peaceful, but every sentence conveyed a sense of wisdom and mission.
"So you choose to help us?" Old Kahn asked, feeling a bit lost. He couldn't understand why such a high civilization would take an interest in their planet.
Malin nodded gently. "Not all civilizations are like this, our choice comes from a higher level of cosmic law. Everything in the universe has a cycle of cause and effect, just as your actions will affect the future. Higher civilizations are also guiding your evolution."
As soon as she finished speaking, the light and shadow around the spaceship changed, and the space surged before their eyes like waves. Rakien vaguely felt a powerful force operating, like a deeper level of energy. His soul seemed to merge with the universe, all worries and confusion dissipating in an instant.
"You will learn here, understand the truth of the universe. When the time is ripe, we will take you back to Oklara, let you become guides of love and justice," Malin's figure gradually blended into the light of the spaceship, her voice echoing deep in their consciousness.
In the soft light, the three stood beside Malin, the spaceship traversing a shining interstellar space. Outside the window, stars seemed to rotate slowly, silver cosmic dust floating between distant nebulae, like an eternal dance. The atmosphere inside the spaceship was calm and mysterious, as if every corner was filled with endless wisdom and unknown power.
Malin waved her hand gently, and a huge holographic image unfolded before them. The image showed a vast universe, huge nebulae and bright galaxies as if all in front of them.
"This is our interstellar alliance," Malin said calmly, her voice filled with the sediment of years. "We maintain the peace of the universe in different star systems, ensuring the evolution of each planet and civilization complies with the laws of the universe."
Rakien looked at the galaxies in the image, a strong sense of awe rising in his heart.
Malin looked at him, her eyes sparkling with profound wisdom. "Every life form in the universe is a part of the universe, Oklara is also an important link in the evolution of the universe. Although you are still at a low-level civilization stage, it is precisely because of this that you need guidance."
The spaceship slowly landed on a fluorescent space station filled with light, and the scenery outside gradually revealed. The three were taken into a huge hall, the surrounding walls inlaid with galaxy maps and complex symbols, like a vast interstellar command center. In the center, a huge transparent sphere floated, inside showing countless projections of planets, each planet rotating, emitting a faint glow.
"This is the central assembly hall of the interstellar alliance," Malin continued, "All important decisions are made here."
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly radiated from the central sphere, projecting into the hall. A tall, dignified being appeared, his eyes very large, emitting a crystal-like light, wearing tight clothing, his head slightly tilted, as if contemplating something.
"This is one of the alliance elders," Malin explained, "He will explain to you about your planet."
"Welcome, friends from Oklara," the elder's voice was filled with dignity and gentle strength. "The evolution of Oklara is closely related to the universe. Your planet is facing a great crisis, the spiritual civilization of people is low, negative extraterrestrial forces have penetrated deep into your world, even controlling every aspect of your planet."
"We know the negative extraterrestrial races are controlling the elites of Oklara," Old Kahn's voice was filled with a trace of anger, "How can we stop them?"
The elder's gaze was profound, as if seeing something deep in the souls of Rakien and Kahn. "Stopping is not an easy task. The negative extraterrestrial races use the low spiritual civilization of humans to cause greed and ignorance, leading to endless strife. To defeat them, a stronger spiritual force is needed. Only when humans awaken from within can they break free from their control, you will eventually understand that the true purpose of human existence in physical form is to achieve spiritual growth and purification. We are essentially immortal spirits. Through continuous reincarnation and comprehension, we achieve purification and elevation of the soul, becoming purer and nobler."
"The power of the positive higher civilization is strong, but the laws of the universe do not allow us to interfere too much. Your suffering is also a kind of tempering, saving yourselves, thus comprehending, striving to awaken and leading more people to abandon evil and embrace good, walking on the path of righteousness. But we will provide you with the necessary guidance and knowledge to help you move towards a bright future."
The hall's lights gradually dimmed, the elder's figure gradually disappeared, leaving a peaceful space behind.
