Chapter 9: The End of Time and Space
"I know, you want to see her." The next sentence of the radiant figure attracted all of Chu Cheng's thoughts.
"You know...... Where? Chu Cheng hurriedly asked.
"The 'person' you want to meet is at the end of time and space in this multiverse. To meet her, you must first complete your mission. The words of the Shining Shadow were as meaningful as ever.
"Sure enough, I traveled to this world with a powerful person behind my back!" A thought flashed through Chu Cheng's heart, and then he asked, "What mission?" ”
"Finish the "terminal genetic factor".
The voice of the shining figure is as magnificent as a god, "The 'terminal genetic factor' is the gene of civilization inheritance, and it is also the key to the revival of civilization. Finish it up and you'll have a chance to revive a civilization! ”
"Which civilization is being revived?" Chu Cheng asked again.
"Civilization of the Ancient Era." The figure shimmered as he spoke, like a scorching sun. But the light is not scorching, but rather immersive.
"The 'Principle of Civilization' of the civilization of the ancient era was shattered by the indescribable terror, and only the broken 'terminal genetic factor' remained."
"What you have to do is to travel through the heavens and worlds, collect the 'Fragments of the Principle of Civilization' from the Ancient Era, and complete the 'Terminal Genetic Factor'."
"What do you mean by the 'principles of civilization'? How do I find pieces of it? "Chu Cheng's questions are very brief, but they are all critical.
"The principle of civilization is the condensation of all essential things such as the path of civilization, luck, and wisdom, and is the personality of the existence of civilization, representing the future of civilization. Once broken, civilization loses its place of existence. It's like a civilization in a book, which has been erased from the original book and drama, such a civilization...... Doomed!. ”
"Is this how the ancient mythological era was destroyed!?" Chu Cheng's brain was running at high speed, but he was silent on the surface.
"As for how to find the fragment of the Principle of Civilization...... the radiant figure said, spreading out his hand and handing a black compass in the palm of his hand to Chu Cheng.
"This is the 'guide', it can point out the direction of what the holder has in mind, and you can use it to find the whereabouts of the fragments of the Principle of Civilization."
"Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow's compass?" Chu Cheng was stunned, and couldn't help but think of a movie he had seen in his previous life.
The protagonist of that movie has such a compass.
Thinking of this, Chu Cheng immediately reached out and took the compass. Perhaps it was a problem with the refraction of light, but at the moment of approaching the figure, he felt that the outline of the figure's facial features hidden under the light seemed to be clearer......
It was a face that looked exactly like his!
Chu Cheng was shocked, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
The light figure in front of him is too powerful and mysterious, and it is not a good choice to question it indiscriminately without understanding the other party.
"Any questions?" Seeing that Chu Cheng was silent, the Radiant Shadow said again, "If not, I will teleport you to the first world." If you make it back to this space alive, we'll talk about the rest. ”
"Wait, my mother is still in this world, and I can't leave him alone." Chu Cheng's tone became anxious, he didn't expect the other party to actually teleport him directly.
"Don't worry, the world you're going to has a much faster flow of time than here. A few days have passed there, and the world has only been a few hours. "So, as long as you can come back alive, you don't have to worry about anything." ”
The figure of light pointed at Chu Cheng as he spoke, and a colorful spatial vortex suddenly appeared, encompassing Chu Cheng.
"You can also ask one last question." The Radiant Shadow said.
When Chu Cheng heard this, he suddenly felt contradicted in his heart.
He really had so many questions he wanted to ask.
Why did you come to this world?
Why does the appearance of the shining figure be exactly the same as his own?
What is her identity, and why did she go to the end of time and space?
Chu Cheng was eager to know the answers to these questions.
But Chu Cheng finally resisted the impulse in his heart.
Considering that he would most likely return to this space, he asked a question that had to be asked.
The indescribable horror in the eyes just now...... What exactly!? ”
"I knew you were going to ask this question." The figure of the light said slowly.
Chu Cheng nodded, he knew that in the future, he would probably have to face that terrifying eye. It is possible to ...... at that time only if you know enough information beforehand Survive!
Originally, with your "cognitive class", you can't know this yet. But since you insist, I'll tell you ......" Seeing Chu Cheng nodding, the tone of the radiant figure became serious.
"Him...... It is an existence suppressed by the forbidden space of the ring, and it was born from the existence of the "Secondary Human Completion Plan"! ”
"His blasphemous name has resounded throughout the Ages of Eternity!"
"The destroyer, the devourer, the blasphemer of faith, the twister of the principles of civilization!"
"The first child born in the 'Four Dimensions of Hell'!"
"Its name ......"
"The Dragon of Eternal Sin - Apophis!"
"Apophis, the dragon of eternal sin...... Is it? Chu Cheng muttered this name in his heart, and suddenly a suppressed sense of terror came out of thin air, so shocked that he didn't dare to think nonsense anymore.
"Okay, I've answered your question, remember...... Come back alive. The figure of light snapped his fingers as he spoke, and the vortex of light that enveloped Chu Cheng suddenly erupted with a swallowing force.

A string of words appeared in his mind, and then Chu Cheng lost consciousness.
……
I don't know how long it took, Chu Cheng woke up from a half-dream, and what he saw was a bedroom full of European style.
With a gorgeous ceiling and a luxurious wool carpet, Chu Cheng was lying on the floor next to the big bed in the bedroom at the moment. He rolled over and quickly looked around the room.
The room was empty, but there was residual warmth in the bedding, which was obviously occupied by someone.
Chu Cheng was in the center of the bed and saw a red dress, and then found a note on the bedside table.
"Today all your dreams come ture."
The English on the note made Chu Cheng frown slightly, he felt that the scene in front of him was a little familiar, he seemed to have seen it in a certain movie.
With such a question, Chu Cheng opened the drawer of the bedside table.
Inside the top two drawers are normal clothes and bathrobes.
But Chu Cheng found a complete set of firearms locked by a layer of bulletproof glass in the third drawer.
There was a combination lock on the bulletproof glass, and Chu Cheng tried to enter the password, but without knowing the number of digits of the password, such an attempt naturally ended in failure.
"This house is obviously not an ordinary house. It is also not known where the original owner of the house went. Chu Cheng thought. At that moment, his hand was suddenly smacked by something in his pocket.
Chu Cheng dug into his pocket and found that the thing in his pocket was the compass handed to him by the Radiant Figure.
At this moment, the needle of the compass is slowly turning, and finally stops in one direction.
Chu Cheng tried to shake the compass, but the direction of the pointer remained the same, still pointing somewhere outside.
"The Shadow of Light has said that this compass can point out what is in the mind of the bearer. I was just wondering where the owner of the room had gone, and the compass should have pointed out the direction of the owner of the room. ”
Chu Cheng put away the compass, he didn't rush out of the room, but continued to search in the bedroom.
Soon Chu Cheng found a fruit knife and a paper clip for sticky notes.
Hiding the fruit knife and paper clip in his cuffs, Chu Cheng walked out of the bedroom, and finally followed the guidance of the compass to the door of a bathroom.
With the help of the reflection of the glass door, Chu Cheng saw that he was wearing a black suit, and the standard blue shirt was in the suit.
"It seems that the figure of light has teleported me over and helped me arrange my identity in this world. Is there really a so-called 'fragment of the principle of civilization' in this world? Chu Cheng had such a thought in his heart, and suddenly the needle of the compass in his hand shook sharply.
Chu Cheng reversed the compass ninety degrees, and he found that what the compass was pointing to was actually a certain direction underground.
"The 'Fragment of the Principles of Civilization' I'm looking for is underground?" Chu Cheng was a little surprised, but the compass was left to him by the Radiant Figure, and it was obvious that he would not go wrong.
"That's it, let's figure out what is in front of us first." Chu Cheng held his breath and pressed his ear to the bathroom door. According to the compass's guidance, the owner of the room is in the bathroom behind the door.
There was the sound of flowers and water in the bathroom, but there was no sound of anyone taking a shower.
Chu Cheng pushed the door and entered, and saw a blonde fainting in the bathroom.
The woman's facial features are beautiful and deep, obviously of European and American descent, and she seems to have ripped off the shower curtain when she faints, and her sexy curves are half-concealed.
At this moment, the woman's body suddenly twitched spasmally, and a pair of blue eyes slowly opened.
"What's wrong with me? …… Yes! The woman struggled to sit up, only then did she see the strange man in front of her, and hurriedly pulled the shower curtain to wrap her naked~ naked body, and a pair of beautiful blue eyes stared at Chu Cheng vigilantly.
"Calm down, I'm not your enemy." Chu Cheng calmly turned his face sideways and comforted the woman with words.
But while turning his face sideways, the afterglow in the corner of Chu Cheng's eyes was always locked on the direction of the woman, and the fruit knife in the cuff was even more poised to strike.
According to what he had just observed, the muscles under the woman's skin were not prominent, but they were very tight.
Coupled with her movements and agility when she had just pulled the shower curtain, Chu Cheng could be sure that the woman had undergone professional training.
The woman in front of her was not as weak as she looked.
On the contrary, she is dangerous.
Regarding Chu Cheng's words, the woman was obviously skeptical. But she soon looked uncomfortable, and then hugged her head in pain.
"What's going on? How do I ...... I don't remember anything! The woman's eyes were full of unease and confusion.
Temporary amnesia? Chu Cheng's heart moved, and then he guided, "Don't worry, remember slowly, don't you even remember your name?" ”
"Name!" When the woman heard this, something suddenly flashed in her eyes, as if she had grasped something.
"I remember, my name is ......"
"Alice!"
