Hundreds of meters tall giant trees could be seen everywhere, the lushness of the vegetation was beyond words. There were thousand-zhang waterfalls, erupting volcanoes, and occasionally some birds and beasts appeared.
Kevin Walker was also watching with great enthusiasm. Earth, too, had its channels opened by the prehistoric starry sky behemoths, and the influence of the prehistoric aura on Earth was enormous, even causing people to abandon many remote areas.
But with Earth's large human population, in just a few decades, such prehistoric scenes could no longer be seen around big cities. Everyone in the tour group was utterly amazed at the sight...
"Incredible... This is so miraculous, this is the power only gods possess..."
"This is unscientific, way too unscientific. Mars is nothing like Earth..."
"The prehistoric era is too terrifying..."
...
Although Kevin Walker also felt deeply shocked, after disembarking from the spaceship, Kevin Walker had already shifted his attention, silently operating the basic cultivation method, sensing the prehistoric aura on Mars, which was twice as dense as on Earth.
The denser the prehistoric aura, the more obvious the improvement to one's physique. Of course, this improvement doesn't happen overnight; one must stay in such an environment for a long time. As for why most people still start their cultivation on Earth?
It's simple: for the same amount of money, you can cultivate for a longer time in some aura-gathering formations. Moreover, the places where the rich live already have a higher-than-normal concentration of prehistoric aura, so there's no need to travel far to cultivate.
As for Kevin Walker coming to Mars on purpose, wanting to start his cultivation at Olympus Mons, that was his wish—a distant memory and a distant dream.
It's likely that after Mars is colonized, the prehistoric aura will gradually decrease and reach a new balance. Thinking about these things, Kevin Walker didn't bother listening to the tour guide's introduction, simply following the group into the 0078 Military Department Construction Base.
The military base was built entirely inside the mountain, with alloy used everywhere, even for the floors and tables and chairs, giving a sense of minimalist beauty. After asking where to collect food, Kevin Walker was about to go into seclusion, but was pulled by the elderly men and women who insisted he come out to take a group photo at the base entrance.
"Everyone stand still, our handsome young group member is here..."
"Stand in the middle, come to auntie..."
...
"I'll just stand on the side, I'm the youngest, I'll take the photo for you—no need... then I'll stand at the back..." Kevin Walker was a bit unaccustomed to the elders' enthusiasm, but helplessly was still pushed to the very center.
First, the tour guide took a 3D group photo for everyone, then asked the two security personnel left at the base to help. After a lot of fuss, everyone immediately rushed to see the results...
"Buzz..." At this moment, Kevin Walker's communicator vibrated in his hand. Kevin Walker quickly took the opportunity to slip out of the crowd and, upon checking, saw it was a video message from a few days ago sent by David Bolton.
Although there was signal reception on Mars, there was clearly a delay; Kevin Walker had already disembarked before receiving it.
"We've arrived... Squad leader, look over here, the beautiful coach is teaching us... Squad leader, remember to check for birthmarks when you get to Mars, ah..."
A noisy group of people, all shouting as Mr. Bolton took the video, making a ruckus.
Although Kevin Walker grew up in an orphanage, he was not a withdrawn person. If the director grandpa hadn't specially bought him a ticket to come here, he would definitely have gone to the special training camp with his classmates.
At this moment, seeing his classmates making a commotion over there, he also prepared to take a video of Mars' Olympus Mons for everyone...
"Boom... rumble..." Without any warning, suddenly the heavens and earth roared, space trembled, and the entire Mars was rumbling.
"Buzz..." Still watching the video, Kevin Walker instantly felt the world spinning, his head buzzing. Years of practicing the basic cultivation method had made Kevin Walker's body at least seven or eight times stronger than a normal human before the prehistoric era, but even so, this sudden roar and tremor almost knocked him out.
Blood flowed from his ears, mouth, and nose, and the world spun around him.
As for the others, except for the two base soldiers who fared a bit better, the elderly men and women, whose bodies had been nourished by the prehistoric aura, were at most only one or two times stronger than ordinary people before the prehistoric era—still not as strong as a one- or two-year-old child born after the prehistoric era.
Under such an impact, most people fainted directly, and some even seemed to have lost their breath altogether.
Kevin Walker's mind was still relatively clear. He shouted as he ran toward the elders: "Space... this is a spatial fluctuation... What happened? Everyone, quick... quick... get... get into the base..."
Shouting, he and the two base soldiers tried to help them into the base.
The tremors continued, and even Kevin Walker and the two soldiers could barely stand, while at this moment, the entire Martian surface was constantly being torn apart.
In the next moment, a spatial ripple suddenly appeared in the northwest, and then a vague sense of a vast aura could be felt.
At this moment, there were also several spaceships taking off and landing, even a warship. All were stunned, because in the northwest, hundreds of miles of ground instantly collapsed.
Most importantly, the area below seemed to suddenly turn into a void, with stars swirling inside, and then a gigantic head slowly emerged from below. As it opened its mouth, countless prehistoric auras gushed out, and within the prehistoric aura spewing from its mouth and nose, countless prehistoric beasts charged forth...
