Five Frozen Centuries

Little Xuanyue’s lifespan was about to be exhausted. She had already reached the end of her life. It had not been easy for her to come this far as a wisp of a soul.

The golden light on Little Xuanyue’s body was much dimmer. She now asked Chen Xuanyue to prepare a small coffin for her. She was going to sleep forever.

Chen Xuanyue said, “Come with me one last time.”

She led Little Xuanyue to the black-and-white Titan where Wei Huo was. Little Xuanyue sat quietly on her shoulder, grabbed a few strands of Chen Xuanyue’s hair with her right hand, and rested her head on Chen Xuanyue’s neck.

Her eyes were half-open, but there was no light in them. It was as if she was recalling the past or thinking about the future. She sat quietly and thought about many things. She was not concerned about the changes in the outside world.

Chen Xuanyue led her to the slowly-spinning black-and-white Titan on a spacecraft. When the spacecraft approached, ripples appeared on the surface of the black-and-white Titan. The spacecraft carrying them entered the ripples.

Then, Chen Xuanyue suddenly saw an endless starry sky. There were specks of starlight all around her. The black-and-white Titan disappeared and was replaced by a huge universe.

Chen Xuanyue was shocked. “This is…”

Wei Huo’s voice came from behind them. “This is a pocket universe.”

Chen Xuanyue turned around and saw Wei Huo. Just like 3,500 years ago, nothing had changed about him. It seemed as if only a few seconds had passed for him.

It was not just his appearance, his demeanor, or his way of talking and doing things. Wei Huo had not changed at all. Time seemed to have stopped for him.

Wei Huo said, “I extracted the genes of countless Gods and obtained ancient memories from their genes. I then restored this Star Field from over 17,000 years ago. Look, that’s the human fleet that just left Earth.”

Wei Huo pointed at a blue planet in the distance. That planet was very beautiful and had yet to be destroyed.

Chen Xuanyue asked, “Is this all an illusion?”

Wei Huo said, “Everything is real. This Titan is a four-dimensional battleship. The space in the Titan can accommodate the entire Milky Way. Over the past 3,000 years, I used the four-dimensional vortex to absorb a lot of space and matter. Then, I built this Star Field in the battleship. I want to restore everything.”

Chen Xuanyue asked, “Why? Why do you want to restore it?”

The past was over. Why did he have to know what had happened? Didn’t God not care about anything?

Chen Xuanyue did not ask that question, but Wei Huo read her mind. He said, “I control the Death Rules. I can see images of the death of every creature related to me. However, I still haven’t seen any images of Lu Qiqi, Ma Tengyun, and the others’ deaths. They were the group of people who escaped the pursuit of a level-four civilization. However, 17,000 years have passed. Their lifespan should have reached its end, but I haven’t seen their deaths. I don’t think millions of people have become Mythical beings either.”

Chen Xuanyue was shocked. She said, “17,000 years… People who are not at the Mythical stage would definitely not live that long.”

Wei Huo said, “That might not be the case. During the thousands of years I’ve been exposed to the Death Rules, I’ve discovered some secrets. The secrets of immortality are hidden in the universe. Even though I’m not at the Mythical stage, I can achieve immortality as long as I grasp these secrets.”

A glimmer of hope appeared in Chen Xuanyue’s eyes as she said, “Little Xuanyue still has about 200 years left. If I discover these secrets…”

Wei Huo said, “The secrets will be revealed soon. Look, the human battleship has entered the Star Path.”

Chen Xuanyue looked over and saw a huge fleet of ships entering the Star Path one after another. It was the Star Path to Saturn. Once one entered, one could move at the speed of light.

Chen Xuanyue watched for a while and realized that the battleship was moving very quickly. No! It was not that the battleship was moving fast. It was just that time was moving faster.

Wei Huo said, “You should have realized that the speed of light in this pocket universe is 10 times the speed of light normally. In other words, time has accelerated 10 times.”

Chen Xuanyue asked in shock, “Can you do it?”

Wei Huo said, “I can do it because this is my universe. I can change all the laws of physics in this universe. Besides, time is just a concept. At the end of the day, it’s just a concept that humans use about the speed of development. If we speed up time, we’ll just have to speed up everything in the universe 10 times. It’s not difficult.”

Chen Xuanyue thought about many things as she listened to Wei Huo’s description. In the end, she asked, “Does our world have a supreme God who controls everything?”

Wei Huo paused for a long time before saying, “Perhaps… That’s an interesting hypothesis. Can this supreme God control Mythical creatures like us? Perhaps we have to conduct an experiment…”

Chen Xuanyue immediately understood Wei Huo’s thoughts and asked, “Do you want to experiment to see if this pocket universe can give birth to a Mythical creature?”

Wei Huo praised her. “You’re very smart. If a Mythical creature was born in this pocket universe, could I still control it? I’m curious!”

As soon as Wei Huo finished his sentence, the Snake God appeared beside them. The Snake God, who was still in the same state, said, “I’m curious as well. If a Mythical creature was born in this pocket universe, what would happen? If this Mythical creature’s spiritual power covered the entire pocket universe, what would happen?”

The two Mythical creatures were talking about a terrifying topic. It was a topic Chen Xuanyue could not imagine. They were actually planning to create a Mythical creature.

However, Wei Huo said, “I can’t create Mythical creatures. We can only find people with potential and nurture them to see if they can become Mythical creatures. This will be a very time-consuming experiment.”

The Snake God said, “Time is the last thing we lack.”

Wei Huo nodded. “You’re right. However, we should still find the missing fleet… 100 times faster.”

As soon as Wei Huo finished his sentence, the universe started moving faster. Soon, the migrating battleships left the stargate and started mining a hydrogen cloud. However, before long, powerful level-four civilizations appeared and started hunting them.

Most human battleships had been destroyed and neglected. Only a small number of human battleships had escaped, including the space castle—the Soaring Cloud Castle.

Wei Huo said, “The next part is the part beyond the memory fragment. The scene that evolved due to the inertia of the universe should be similar to what happened in history. Based on this scene, can we predict where the escaped battleship went?”
