Chapter 147: Billions of Stars, the Way Home
Yan Jingxing blinked. His expression was still a little confused at first, but after seeing Ji Chunzao's face, this emotion quickly disappeared, and his face also showed a look of surprise.
"You're here, and I've finally found you...... Where is this, though? β
Yan Jingxing's eyes looked around, and he realized that he seemed to be floating in the universe, and he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion for a while.
Then his gaze fell back on Ji Chunzao, and he let out a soft "Huh?" βγ
"Chunzao, in your eyes...... What is that? β
"What the hell is going on with your eyes?"
The girl spoke at this moment, and the two of them collided head-on.
ββ¦β¦ My eyes? β
Ji Chunzao couldn't help but reach out and touch his eye sockets.
"What's wrong with my eyes?"
Yan Jingxing grabbed his hair in confusion.
"There are strange lines." She said.
"Yours too......" he replied.
"Really, it turns out that both of them have it?"
Yan Jingxing stared at Ji Chunzao's face, those bright and bright dark eyes were now red; In the center of the red, there are spiral lines that spread out like ripples.
It's very special, you can't forget it at a glance, like a monster.
However, it is not intimidating, it is a vivid and clear red, like some kind of gemstone with complex lines...... There is a kind of bewitching beauty.
The bright red and gorgeous spiral eyes, coupled with the girl's immature and delicate face, have a strong and wonderful sense of contrast.
Yan Jingxing suddenly remembered something.
While fighting the sea monster, he transformed into a giant god, and his eyesight and observation skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he even observed something that only existed in another dimension.
That is the essence of the power of the Divine Pillar, which uses the bright red spiral pattern to create a sea monster, so that the opponent is obviously a living being, but it seems that it can be resurrected infinitely as if it violates the law of conservation of energy......
Is it the same "pattern"?
Before he knew it, he remembered more.
I remember that at first, next to the mural of the ruins of that palace, in a few machines, they received the inheritance of anomalous abilities belonging to the Alpha civilization.
Ji Chunzao and Xie Yuzhi - one of the two girls inherited the left eye, the other inherited the right eye, one had the power of sacrifice, and the other had the power of the king.
The eyes, the spiral, both seem to be influencing the reality of the moment.
If that's the case, though......
Yan Jingxing touched his eyes again.
Why is something like this in my pupils?
At this time, Ji Chunzao in front of him suddenly moved his face closer.
Yan Jingxing was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to raise his head, but the girl grabbed her shoulder, only to hear her say in a serious tone:
"Don't move."
"Uh...... What are youβwhat are you doing? β
"I'm looking into my own eyes." Almost face to face, the noses of the two people have been brought together, and the bright red spiral pupils of the girl in front of them are like a colorful Wanhua mirror, which has the magic power to attract people's souls.
"There are no mirrors here, and there is no water, so I can only look with your eyes, and reflect my eyes with your eyes."
The eye is the window to the soul, but also a narrow mirror, the only surface of the water that can reflect others at the moment. Yan Jingxing looked at her serious appearance in a daze, almost thinking that she was serious.
"Well, it's okay to say it with your mouth...... Or do you not believe me? β
"Huh."
Ji Chunzao laughed "poof". She covered her mouth, her eyebrows curled, and she laughed like a crescent moon.
β¦β¦ It does seem like a joke.
At this time, she can still be in a funny mood, and it seems that she is not in a bad mood. Seeing that Chunzao could still be so energetic, Yan Jingxing's heart seemed to have quietly fallen a heavy stone, and his mood was relieved.
Although only a few days have passed, since Ji Chunzao fell into a coma, his mood has been suppressed with anxiety and impatience, and a feeling of "he seems to be losing something" has always haunted his heart, which is really a difficult time for immature teenagers.
But in any case, they finally met again.
He had nothing to lose, and his most important friend was now standing in front of him.
"Don't worry about the eyes for now." Ji Chunzao put down his hand and asked curiously, "I want to know how you came here?" β
"I want to ask you that. This place ......," Yan Jingxing looked around, "what the hell is going on?" β
As far as the eye could see, he saw the vastness of the universe.
After the battle with the sea monster and the Divine Pillar, Yan Jingxing only felt that his mind had passed, and when he came to his senses again, he was already in this magical space suspended above the galaxy.
Endless darkness is the background, and in the distance are countless stars, bright and dim. He could even see the twisting spiral arms of the galaxy, which were made up of stars, nebulae, and dark matter, forming shimmering bands of light in the darkness; and huge clouds of gas and dust that spread all over the field of vision, globular clusters of thousands of stars clustered together......
It's an astonishing spectacle that is impossible for the human eye to seeβif all this is not a false background, the only thing that can explain what they can see today is the fact that they are floating in the center of the universe and looking down on everything from God's perspective.
If it weren't for the fact that he saw Ji Chunzao in front of him as soon as he opened his eyes, the joy of the reunion temporarily suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and he would definitely be in a state of speechlessness by the magnificent scene in front of him now.
"Well, let's both explain the situation to each other. What really happened after the separation? β
Ji Chunzao said.
"Actually, in another space, I can still see you and Yuzhi's actions, but I want to hear you say it in person, and I want to hear what you thought at the time."
"I just remember that after I turned into a titan, I threw the spiral spear at the god pillar, and then I was swept into the ...... by a huge light"
β¦β¦
The two chatted for a while, in fact, most of them were not focused, while reminiscing and communicating, they talked about wherever they wanted, but they felt lucky to be able to chat like this, there was a feeling of nostalgia, and the atmosphere was very good.
So, when the third person appeared in this place, it took a while for the two of them to notice.
β¦β¦ Of course, part of the reason is that she has always remained silent and has not spoken.
"Jade, Yuzhi?" Yan Jingxing's corner of his eye caught a glimpse of her existence, and he was startled again, feeling that Miss Xie was like a female ghost floating in the universe.
"So you're here! Why don't you speak? β
"I'm embarrassed to disturb you two when you two are chatting."
Miss Xie seemed to be joking, but her expression was still calm.
"Don't say weird things...... By the way, since you're here, that means ......"
"Yes, it was I who controlled the Life Weaving Aircraft Carrier to fuse with the prototype of the body, so in the process of you manipulating the giant god to fight, my consciousness was also in the body of the giant god."
Xie Yuzhi replied.
"I think we both got caught up together."
"Great! And so the three of us met again! β
It wasn't until Haruza shouted and pounced on her that the corners of her mouth seemed to be relaxed.
Miss Xie patted her friend in her arms on the shoulder.
"I've been listening to the conversation between the two of you since just now, so I've noticed something worth caring about. I can make bold guesses, but not necessarily right. β
Xie Yuzhi looked at the eyes of the two friends, and from the perspective of her, a third person, everything seemed very clear: Ji Chunzao and Yan Jingxing's pupils now showed complex spiral patterns, one was red and the other was white.
She took a deep breath, lowered her gaze, and then raised a finger and continued.
"There are two mysterious forces in this universe, which may be opposites. From our visual level, it appears as a red spiral, which symbolizes life and evolution, and a white spiral, which is likely to be death...... I'll just guess so. β
"The power carrier of the red spiral is the Divine Pillar, and the white spiral, so far, has only appeared on the prototype body."
"Hmmm......"
Yan Jingxing nodded.
In short, a new mystery has emerged, and this time it is still cosmic.
But they're not in the mood to think about that anymore, and the most important thing right now is ......
"Haruzao, did you succeed?"
Xie Yuzhi looked at her again.
"It should be......"
The curly-haired girl looked eager to try, but she was only slightly asked, but she showed signs of retreating.
"It's no joke. We'll be back later. β
Miss Xie looked around, with amazement in her eyes.
This experience of drifting in the universe, living on a planet, people who are bound by gravity do not experience it once in their lifetime.
"Although the scene of the universe is spectacular, you can't get tired of looking at it...... But we're going to go back to White Moon eventually. β
"Yes, if the power of the Divine Pillar has not completely dissipated after we go back, and we continue to haunt us, I am afraid we will not have the strength to fight. Whether it's me, or Yuzhi. β
"Well, my head still hurts right now, but luckily the fight didn't last long."
Really. Yan Jingxing thought to himself, it seems that the duration of the giant god prototype is not only limited by the limit that I can bear, but also Yuzhi's.
"IβI know! Yes, definitely this time! β
Ji Chunzao clenched his fists and made up his mind.
"That's good. And then, there's the second question, ...... going back."
The universe is still vast and still dark.
"βwhat are we going to do?"
After this question, all three fell silent.
To be honest, it is not clear how they got here, but they can vaguely guess that after the prototype of the power carrier of the white spiral and the pillar symbolizing the red spiral came into contact with each other, some kind of mutation occurred, so they all teleported their consciousness into this space.
The good news is that they do reunite; The bad news is that the place of reunion is not on Earth, but on the other side, in the space where Ji Chunzao's consciousness is located.
No one can count on them now, and they can't expect someone else to rescue them, right?
Just when the three of them were at a loss, another familiar figure appeared.
Yan Jingxing was the first to discover, and the moment he saw the figure, he suddenly had a premonition that "everything was already destined".
He grabbed the hands of the two girls beside him at the same time, one on the other.
"The astronauts are coming, we ...... Get ready. β
- The astronaut who hadn't appeared for a long time, wearing an old-fashioned spacesuit and a goldfish helmet, was not far away.
"He" stood there, silently waving his hand at the young people. After this action, "he" once again became silent as a sculpture, standing still in place.
Even if they don't have to speak, everyone realizes that they are here to help them get home.
Yan Jingxing was still vaguely aware that this was probably the last time this person appeared in front of them.
The astronaut's figure gradually became blurred, and he couldn't hold back the confusion in his heart, and shouted to the other party the confusion that had been haunting him since the first meeting:
"-You...... Who are you? β
The astronaut did not answer.
After "his" figure dissipated, a huge star behind it was revealed. Endless rays of light form a ladder that spans billions of galaxies and leads them back to Earth......
