The movement of the universe never ceased, accelerated and expanded; it seemed that a huge dark repulsive force of unknown origin was approaching and increasing, pushing countless galaxies further and further away from each other, sending them toward the end of the universe.
Of course, this could only be noticed on a large time span unit.
In a small time span, the silent universe seemed to be eternally still, quiet and deep, vast and empty. Dark and light contrasted with each other, black and white were easily distinguishable. It was a freezing frame of the dark ocean with clusters of gorgeous nebulae that contained billions of bright stars within it.
In the dark background of space, it was abstruse and lonesome, without a sound or light. A little light flickered from the deep darkness and then fell silent. After a long time, from the direction of the flicker, a dark spear with sharp edges appeared. It was covered with cosmic dust as it flew across countless stars silently, shooting to the farther places of the universe. Only when it occasionally hit the thin particles floating in space, could the light of the particles disappear in the gun tip flash a little bit of light…
…
When Chu Yunsheng regained consciousness, he could not feel anything. He could not see, hear, smell, touch, or taste. It was as if nothing but only his consciousness existed.
In the chaos, only his consciousness and memory told him that he was still alive. But he didn’t know where he was.
‘Am I really still alive?’ He asked himself. Maybe for that world, he was already dead.
Feeling lonely, but at the same time feeling nothing. To Chu Yunsheng this was not the cruelest torture in the world. After all, he had the experience of the six insanity stages. So maybe he was still able to endure it. However, thinking of the last simulation of that world, there was infinite sorrow.
That was the world he longed for but could not stay. In the last moment, all the external consciousnesses were cleared, and the node should be completely closed. Like a bubble detached from the membrane, it would continue to simulate until the end of the universe independently. There would be no more unexpected variables or micro-adjustments, just like the real dead world, or a world that could not be felt by the dead people. It would still exist, but at the same time, it would no longer exist.
There were his relatives and his beloved ones there. If he stayed, maybe there would be his daughter as well. But if he stayed, the tragedy would happen again. There would be no end to the cycle of reincarnation… Everything would be like a hell with endless torture.
He really wanted to stay and then go through one happy life with his loved ones in that world, but it was impossible.
…
In the midst of sorrow, Chu Yunsheng gradually ‘fell asleep’. When he “woke up” again, he could see something. It was a cube, and he was inside the cube. He couldn’t tell the size of it, and he also couldn’t tell how vast the space inside the cube was. Soon, he who was familiar with the zero-dimensional space knew that this was his zero-dimensional space.
His consciousness was wrapped by the Wuzi Fragment, the cube kept the zero-dimensional space from collapse, and the black gas supplied the energy that was needed for existence. With those three things, it allowed him to temporarily “live” in the zero-dimensional space.
But the zero-dimensional space didn’t have any dimensions after all. There was no size, no direction, no position. Without a three-dimensional body to provide a dimensional medium, he would never be able to perceive anything outside.
The cube was just a tool. It could connect, cut off, or even conceal the perception of the three-dimensional body, but it could not replace the perception of the three-dimensional body and be used as a medium of the multidimensional world. These were two things, and Chu Yunsheng understood this clearly.
Therefore, now Chu Yunsheng could basically conclude that his body probably no longer existed. Otherwise, the cube would’ve definitely been able to find it immediately and immediately merge into it, instead of appearing like this.
Although he didn’t know why the cube from the node did not disappear, it was obviously a thing that belonged to the zero-dimensional consciousness. In addition, since it had “exchanged” a lot of information with the Wuzi Fragment, it could be considered to be a kind of fusion.
With the body made with the Wuzi Fragment, he walked around in the zero-dimensional space maintained by the cube. In any case, compared to the last time he was trapped in the zero-dimensional space, the situation was much better this time. At least this time, he had things to do. Otherwise, not to mention the emptiness and loneliness, just thinking about that world could drive him crazy.
Using the balance created by the Wuzi Fragment, black gas, and the mysterious third force, he began to purify the black gas bit by bit, store the black gas, and increase the number of the pieces of the Wuzi Fragment he could control. This was enough to help him pass countless years until he came up with a method to construct his body.
He had just felt that his ability to manipulate the Wuzi Fragment has decreased a lot. It was no longer at the level of the Sword Creation Field. This was also one of the important bases for him to judge that he has come out of the node, in addition to not feeling his three-dimensional body.
The world of the white and bloody shadow man was also his world, so over there, he had an absolute advantage to control the Sword Creation Field, but here, he didn’t have that advantage.
But it was not completely back to the original state. He could feel a slight change in the fusion of the Wuzi Fragment and his consciousness. It was different from before. To be precise, he should be able to take the Wuzi Fragment out of the body to form a Wuzi sword that he was able to control at will. It would no longer be limited to only within the zero-dimensional space. But now he didn’t have any body, so he was unable to experiment.
And the quality of this sword depended on the number of fragments he could control.
If he injected pure black gas into the Wuzi sword, even if he encountered Yuan Tian Stage Four masters, and even if he couldn’t defeat them, he would have no problem running away. He still remembered that with just one swing of the Wuzi sword, he was able to cut off the Third Bakun’s giant finger attack directly, so its power was self-evident.
In the current situation, Chu Yunsheng no longer wanted to rely on the techniques in the ancient book. He wanted to rely on himself, and used everything he had learned to develop a truly unique “Wuzi Sword Technique”!
Thinking of the ancient book, he suddenly stopped, frowned, and began to search around. His “heart” was pounding. For him, the presence or absence of the ancient book was extremely important!
After searching for a long time, he still couldn’t detect its existence at all. Logically speaking, even if it was no longer in the zero-dimensional space, he was still able to detect it.
So how come he was not able to find it?
Chu Yunsheng was sure that there was no trace of it in the zero-dimensional space, and that he could not sense its existence, so he “flew” up suddenly.
“Did the separation of the godhood succeed? Song Ying didn’t die? She came out alive and inherited the godhood?”
“Or, since I died once, the godhood has been inherited by my daughter? And she is still alive?”
Chu Yunsheng’s eyes were full of excitement. In the past, he was always worried about the loss of the ancient book. Now, the ancient book was gone, but he didn’t feel any frustration. On the contrary, he was also happy as if he had heard some great news.
If the senior practitioner knew about this, at this moment, he would probably only let out a sigh.
However, being trapped in the zero-dimensional space after coming out of that sorrowful world, apart from this, what else could make Chu Yunsheng so happy and hopeful now?
It must be one of those two possibilities. Otherwise, the third Baktun wouldn’t have wanted to enter the node or Pseudo-Monolith to kill him. Whichever it was, he felt relieved.
But to find them, he must first find the earth or Ding Yan’s Sky City. He believed that if his daughter was not dead, whether it was Ding Yan or Tan Ning, they would definitely be able to take care of her. He has never really blamed Tan Ning before. After seeing her eyes, he believed that she would definitely not kill his daughter. And if it was Song Ying who lived, then unlike him, she would probably appear near the Pseudo-Monolith, and since the Pseudo-Monolith was on earth, she would definitely be able to survive. After all, Mo Wuluo was there, and the sixth sequence said that his wood elemental energy would be able to reconstruct one’s body.
He looked at the invisible starry sky with a hopeful and moist gaze, as if seeing the place where the nine planets rotated, the blue planet, and the beautiful moonlight.
No matter how ominous, wicked, dirty, or sinful, even if all the vicious words in the world were used to describe the earth, she was still his “mother”, his home planet, and the place he loved most!
What happened in the past has already passed, but the people who survived were still there.
His everything was in that place, the people he loved, the people who loved him, parents, Li, aunt, daughter… Xiaohai, Edgar, Yao Xiang, Xiao Chuan, Yu Hanwu… Little Tiger, Dumb insect, Old Purple… It didn’t matter if they had all died, they were still there. They were born there, buried there, and that was his home!
If anyone dared to destroy her, even if he no longer had godhood, he would still fight to the end to protect her.
