Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Higher Level
Perhaps too annoyed by Xiao Longchen's chatter, Xiao Xing finally spoke: "I paid such a big price to bring you into this world, do you think it's just for my own plan?"
Hearing that Xiao Xing really had his own conspiracy, Xiao Longchen suddenly became even more angry in his heart, and asked sharply: "You could have helped our Long family in the first place, and let me leave my hometown to come here, not to achieve your purpose, but for what?"
"Do you think that with great power, you can do whatever you want? I don't belong to your universe at all, if I make a move on your planet, I will be wiped out by the power of the law immediately, not only will I not be able to help my family, but I will also be completely ruined!"
"You're saying that this isn't the universe where the Milky Way is located anymore?" asked Xiao Longchen in disbelief.
The softening of Xiao Longchen's tone also made Xiao Xing's anger dissipate a little, and he was silent for a while before he sighed: "Judging from the information and data I have collected, the technology of your earth has developed to a very high level, and it is fully capable of exploring space beyond the galaxy. But why are you human beings on Earth still unable to step out of the galaxy after decades of hard work? Have you ever thought about this?"
Xiao Longchen was already a quick-witted teenager, and when he heard Xiao Xing ask like this, he immediately thought of the answer, and said dumbfounded: "Is it because beyond the Milky Way, there is another time and space?"
Xiao Longchen's comprehension has always been a great advantage for Xiao Xing, so he just sighed faintly when he heard this: "Alas, there are many mysteries hidden in the vast universe, even I don't know much, but one thing I can be very sure of is that the division of regions that you earthlings call galaxies is the unit of time and space in the universe. Each galaxy is actually an independent space-time. So you can see more distant galaxies through technology, but if you really try to break out of the galaxy, it's almost impossible. Because this already involves another level of power, it is not easy to do at all. ”
Xiao Xing's rhetoric, for Xiao Longchen, can be said to have completely subverted his cognition.
Since the day we set foot on the moon for the first time two or three hundred years ago, mankind has never given up exploring the vast universe.
After such a long period of hard work, not only did they find the second life planet like Clog, but they also sent many spaceships to explore the more distant starry sky.
The Milky Way, in the face of the highly developed technology of mankind, no longer has many secrets to speak of.
But today, Xiaoxing told him that the broader space that human beings have been persevering in pursuing is just an illusory projection that cannot be reached.
Xiao Longchen was really a little unacceptable for a while.
After bowing his head and pondering for a long time, Xiao Longchen asked a little dejectedly, "Then how strong is the other level of power you are talking about?"
"As I told you before, you can pinch and explode your earth at will! And this is only the initial level of power, maybe in other universes, there are even more terrifying powerhouses. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so that's just my guess!"
You must know that a strong person like Xiaoxing, who has just entered that level, can destroy a planet at will, and that kind of even more terrifying existence can make people shudder just thinking about it.
"Then is your body a human being, or some other creature, and why did you turn into a meteorite and fall to the earth?" Xiao Longchen never asked about this doubt in his heart, and now that he has spoken it today, he has no worries.
"I'm supposed to be what you think of, right, that was a long, long time ago. Xiao Xing's voice sounded with sighs, and Xiao Longchen even heard a little sadness from his words.
"Humans, how can they control such a powerful force?" Xiao Longchen still couldn't accept this fact.
Hearing Xiao Longchen's narrow-minded words, Xiao Xing suddenly sneered: "Hmph, you have been living on the earth since you were born. Before you meet me, can you believe that someone can destroy a planet with their own strength? Before you come to this world, can you imagine that human beings can become such powerful beings as astromagicians through cultivation?"
"In front of the level of power you described, an astral sorcerer can't be called powerful at all, right?" Xiao Longchen also knew that he was indeed a frog at the bottom of a well, so he asked a little self-deprecatingly.
"No! You'd be wrong. In every universe, there are ways to make people stronger, and when you were on earth, you achieved strength with technology, and this world cultivates astral magic to make your own strength stronger. Every power system, after it has developed to the top, can break through that side of the universe. It's just that it's too difficult and too difficult to do this......" Xiaoxing sighed and sighed, and then continued: "The technology on your earth is about to reach this level, but the cost of developing science and technology is too great, so that you have not yet broken through the last barrier, and the home you rely on for survival is now on the verge of destruction. According to my guess, if you humans can't reach that step within a thousand years, your human civilization will be completely wiped out by the laws of time and space, just like many intelligent beings in the universe. ”
Xiao Longchen obviously disagreed with Xiao Xing's statement: "We have discovered another life planet, and the earth technology may not be able to reach the level you said in a thousand years, but it is very possible to immigrate all mankind to another life planet!"
Xiaoxing sneered again: "Do you think that escaping is really a way to survive? Once your earth is completely destroyed, then you earth-born beings will inevitably die no matter where you flee." This is the fate controlled by the Supreme Law, and no creature can resist the obliteration of the Supreme Law, not even at my level, let alone the tricky methods of you humans. ”
Xiao Longchen suddenly fell silent, and even the life-and-death crisis that could come at any time was left behind by him.
The news I got from Xiaoxing was really shocking. Before, he naively thought that as long as he was strong enough, he could travel back through time and space to save his family.
But according to what Xiaoxing said, even if he can do this, the future generations will eventually be unable to escape the fate of destruction.
Even himself, no matter how powerful he finally becomes, will not be able to withstand the catastrophe a thousand years later.
After his horizons became more broad, Xiao Longchen no longer thought that more than 100 years was the limit of his lifespan, and this catastrophe of destruction after a thousand years had become a bigger stone in his heart.
"Xiaoxing, is there any way to extend the lifespan of a planet?" Xiao Longchen's eyes suddenly burst into hope at this moment, hoping that Xiaoxing could give him a hope, a hope to support himself to become stronger.
"Yes, but that would be difficult, not even a strong man of my level would be able to do that. I'll tell you this: Destroying a planet is like killing someone with a knife, just stabbing the other person in the heart, but it is a thousand times more difficult to save the person whose heart has been pierced than killing him. Xiao Xing's answer was still so simple and direct, and he didn't mean to deceive Xiao Longchen at all.
Hearing this, Xiao Longchen felt even more depressed, but fortunately, this answer did not make people feel hopeless. Since there is still a glimmer of hope, then he has to fight no matter what.
Even if it still ends in failure, he can die without regrets!
