Chapter 222
The spacecraft with a huge gap on top was surrounded by a layer of soap bubble-like film, and it sailed smoothly towards the nearest habitable star. Although the film looked very fragile, it was enough to support them to return to the planet.
After watching the lucky spaceship leave, Rong Yuan, who was standing on a meteorite as big as a house, looked down at the pea in his palm and said, "You go to sleep first."
"Yeah." Wandou pulled Rongyuan's finger, looked up at him, and reminded him: "Then don't forget to wake me up!"
"Okay," Rong Yuan chuckled, "I won't forget it."
Wandou looked at Rong Yuan again with deep longing, then stood on the Book of Merits and Virtues and whispered, "Rong Yuan, everything must go smoothly!"
Before it finished its words, its tiny body turned into countless starlight and fell down, merging into the "Book of Merits" and disappeared.
Rong Yuan gently stroked the place where the pea disappeared, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. Then he closed the book and looked into the distance.
The dark space was like a colorful picture in his eyes. The invisible death gods to Aburg and others were always colorful in his eyes - blazing red, cold blue, brilliant gold, mysterious black...
Countless colors are interwoven into a beautiful picture, sometimes like natural clouds, sometimes like layers of blooming flowers, sometimes like galloping horses and giant elephants, sometimes like flying birds and swimming fish.
The most beautiful and dazzling places are often the most dangerous, such as black holes, quasar jets, high-energy neutron streams, and space cracks. They are mighty and powerful, destroying everything in their path.
Rong Yuan looked for a long while, then took a step forward. The next moment, his figure had traveled tens of thousands of miles and appeared on the wreckage of a lonely spaceship.
Suddenly, he remembered that many years ago, when he was just a child, he first learned that the starry sky above his head was actually composed of countless stars like the sun, and some of the stars were actually extragalactic galaxies like the Milky Way...
Countless star systems gathered together, and perhaps there were lives just like humans being born and dying in them...but because the distance was too far, he could only see a faint star of such a great existence.
The vast, brilliant, countless stars we see at night are actually just a tiny part of the Milky Way.
Beyond his vision... beyond his cognition... how grand and wonderful is the world?
The shock, curiosity and yearning he felt at that time still resonate in his heart today.
He passed through countless stars, planets, meteorites and dust, and penetrated into areas that others had never reached. Countless dangers that were fatal to others were either avoided by him after observation, or collapsed under the force of his string.
String force is not omnipotent. In other words, Rong Yuan has not yet developed this ability to the extreme, and cannot calmly break through all dangers. When a huge hot jet like a tsunami suddenly appeared in front of him, Rong Yuan tapped on the "Book of Merits", and a transparent protective shield appeared in front of him, protecting him completely.
The jet stream surged past like a tide, and Rong Yuan and the stone under his feet were safe and sound.
It reminded me of my youth... when I joined the school astronomy club with Jin Yang.
In fact, it was just an interest club organized by a dozen students, with an instructor who didn't take care of things, and a few top students who never participated in club activities. But at that time, Rongyuan and Jinyang liked this club very much.
Together they had built a crude rocket model and imagined flying into space on it;
They also used astronomical telescopes to observe the starry sky together at the Science and Technology Museum. Whenever they found something special, they would share it with each other excitedly and happily, just like discovering pirates' treasure.
They pooled their money together to buy second-hand Lego Death Star blocks, but only discovered that a few key pieces were missing when they were finished. Later, Jin Yang brought a small bag of blocks, saying that he had bought them from the second-hand market. More than a decade later, Rong Yuan learned that he had dismantled his uncle's Death Star model and brought it over.
Although he felt very sorry for Jin Yang's uncle, Rong Yuan would never forget the simple and pure joy he felt when the model was completed.
It was strange. They had been through so many things together, had done many great things, and even changed the world to some extent. But now Rong Yuan could only think of those trivial things. The joy and a little sadness flowed in his heart like aged wine.
A meteorite whizzed past Rongyuan, and the dust, debris and air currents it carried hit the protective shield with a crackling sound, causing layers of ripples on the shield like water waves.
Afterwards, meteorites came flying like rain, continuously hitting the protective shield. After half a minute, the protective shield broke with a click, but Rong Yuan had already found a safe space passage, crossing this star field and reaching a deeper place.
The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. Countless stars are so densely packed that it's terrifying. The space between stars is not a vacuum, but filled with a lot of toxic gas and dust. Metal particles are whistling like a rainstorm, flames are burning in the air, and the powerful, chaotic gravity is tearing everything apart. Meteorites of all sizes are flying at high speeds, colliding with each other from time to time, exploding into a ball of rubble and splashing.
This is the place he should have come to.
Although the members of the Feiyan team were outstanding in their respective fields, they were still ordinary people after all, and could only move in space with the help of spaceships and space suits. With their rich experience and advanced equipment, they could still freely explore the periphery of the nebula, but it was impossible to go deep into such a place.
It turns out that the Feiyan team's dream of finding the star bridge and exploring another star field is just a dream.
The appearances of the Feiyan team members appeared in Rong Yuan's mind one by one...
Aimirida jumped for joy because of the birthday present Rongyuan gave her;
Parry waved his six arms, feverishly studying the new model;
The girl Feng Li proudly stepped on an ugly Zerg from the desert planet and made a scissor gesture to have her photo taken;
Tata hugged the calf of the latest mecha he had bought with all his savings and kissed it devoutly;
Reina, that funny guy, disguised himself as a ghost in the middle of the night and scared Isli, who had just boarded the ship, so much that he screamed;
Nightwing secretly raised a snow-white kitten in his room, and kept it secret for fear of being discovered by others;
Dunker was drunk, and he slid off the table, lying on the ground, snoring in a jumping manner, making everyone laugh;
Balabi flipped the pot with one hand and held the spoon with the other. He turned around and said with a smile in the smoke: "Don't worry, the meal will be ready soon."
Drobuk smiled gently and sincerely, but looking at the needle in his hand, Wenda was still trembling with fear...
Scene after scene, like clouds and smoke, dissipates and never returns.
After crossing the area with the densest meteorites, the view in front of us suddenly became empty. In the middle of the nebula, there appeared an empty area with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Not even a large stone could be seen.
Rong Yuan frowned slightly.
He saw that in the very center of the area there was a gigantic flower, with trillions of colors forming various complex and magnificent geometric patterns. Layers of petals were rotating and changing , blooming with dreamy colors.
The center of the flower expanded and contracted as if it was breathing. With each breath, countless black cracks spewed out, splitting the surrounding space into pieces.
Rong Yuan knew that if there really was an interstellar bridge in this star field, that should be where the flower was.
But this road... is not easy.
Those black space cracks kept branching, extending, and interweaving during the radiation process like lightning. In an area of tens of thousands of miles, it was sometimes difficult to find a safe area that could even accommodate one person.
Rong Yuan couldn't use space jumps either. The space here was constantly being torn into pieces, extremely chaotic. If he tried to cross the space, the biggest possibility was that he would be cut into countless pieces by space.
However, Rong Yuan also has a final response measure.
This was a trump card he didn't want to use.
The "Book of Merits" flipped open with a rustling sound, and finally stopped at one page.
On the page, there is a stationary clock with a spiral gear pattern as the background.
【Go back in time】!
Thunder circled around him, string force jumped on his fingertips, and Rong Yuan looked ahead.
step.
A black space crack passed by him, taking away a few strands of hair.
step.
The Star Bridge flower suddenly blossomed, with countless rays of light bursting out from it.
step.
The cracks in space intertwined into a web, overwhelming him.
A dazzling white light suddenly burst out with Rong Yuan as the center. The world seemed to be folded and stretched in an instant. The stars in the sky were reflected in Rong Yuan's eyes, and the dense black cracks instantly shrank and retreated.
The powerful force of turning back time swept through every cell of Rong Yuan, swept through his memory, swept through his mind and spirit.
The black crack passed by very close, and Rong Yuan almost passed through the space crack. With a loud bang, the ring on his hand exploded, and thousands of objects flew out of it and were completely shattered by the power of time and space. Only two things flew back and merged into Rong Yuan's body.
Rong Yuan's eyes fell on a tiny, cheap plastic dolphin, watching it tumble in the air and being crushed into powder.
Jin Yang's childish voice rang in my ears: "I helped you, you have to say thank you."
The two things that flew back were a Merit Jade Leaf and a Merit Search Positioner. These two items were considered very special items in the "Book of Merit" and were directly related to merit.
Not to mention the peas, after exchanging Noah, Rong Yuan realized that real life can be exchanged in the Merit Mall. And the mall page has dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, insects, fish, birds and beasts, even humans can be exchanged.
Originally, Rong Yuan just regarded these as a list of items in the mall. He briefly read the introduction on the mall page and knew that these exchange items would - even a paramecium - be loyal to the contractor.
If it were someone else, they might treat these as useful subordinates and tools, exchanging them on a large scale to meet various needs. But Rong Yuan's hobbies were in science, and he was more interested in things than subordinates and pets, so he never exchanged for a living being.
After he accidentally gave birth to Noah, Rong Yuan felt a sense of responsibility for his chatterbox, personality, liveliness, and loyalty. He was also more tolerant of Noah than others.
"I was born because of you. Your wish is my wish."
Since then, Rong Yuan rarely exchanged various items from the mall.
The gods in the stories could always create life easily, and then wipe it out at will. But for Rong Yuan, just one or two lives made him feel an unbearable burden.
【Go back in time! 】
【Go back in time! 】
【Go back in time! 】
Every step forward was so difficult. Rong Yuan went back in time again and again, looking for a ray of hope from the impossible, but his whole body was inevitably scratched by various space cracks as thin as spider silk.
He was covered in blood, but his expression remained calm, as if he felt no pain.
The power of time and space washed over his brain and memory; his body also felt the enormous burden, and even his vision began to turn faintly blood red.
"Rongyuan, I will always be by your side."
The pea's solemn promise echoed in my ears. Its small body was so cute, but the expression on its face when it said this was so serious and solemn.
Rong Yuan knew that Wandou always blamed himself for being too weak to help and often needed Rong Yuan's protection. For this reason, this bean-like little guy would sometimes lower his head, showing a sad and guilty look .
But Rong Yuan always wanted it to understand that he didn't need it to do more. As long as it was still by his side... it was a great comfort to him.
He keeps meeting people and losing them. Those he loved, hated, met by chance, those he admired and liked...all of them will eventually leave him. The only one who can stay with him forever is Pea.
They are lifelong companions and confidants.
【Go back in time! 】
【Go back in time! 】
【Go back in time! 】
When Rong Yuan finally stood in front of the star bridge, he could hardly hold on any longer. The capillaries all over his body burst, turning him into a bloody man.
"He said...you are the bravest person he has ever met."
[No... I am not brave...]
[I just... have nothing to worry about... so I can keep moving forward...]
The huge gravitational force of the star bridge swallowed Rong Yuan in an instant. Colorful streams of light flew past him, and there seemed to be a call from behind him -
"Xiao Yuan!"
"Rong Yuan!"
"Owner!"
"Mr. Rong!"
"Brother Xiaoyuan!"
In the dim light, it seemed as if someone smiled and said to him, "Keep moving forward, Xiaoyuan !"
The light dissipates, and a brand new world comes into view!
