Chapter 148 Billions of galaxies, the road home

Yan Jingxing blinked. His expression was slightly confused at first, but after seeing Ji Chunzao's face, this emotion quickly disappeared, and his face also showed a look of surprise.

"You are here, I finally found you...but where are you?"

Yan Jingxing looked around and realized that he seemed to be floating in the universe, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion for a while.

Then his eyes fell back on Ji Chunzao, and he let out a soft "Huh?".

"Chun Zao, what is that in your eyes?"

"What's going on with your eyes?"

The girl spoke just at this moment, and the two of them collided with each other.

"...my eyes?"

Ji Chunzao couldn't help but reach out and touch his eyes.

That is the essence of the power of the Divine Pillar. It uses bright red spiral patterns to create a sea monster, making it appear to be a living creature, but it can be resurrected infinitely as if it violates the law of energy conservation...

After the battle with the sea monster and the divine pillar was over, Yan Jingxing felt like he had passed away in a flash. When he regained consciousness again, he was already in this magical space suspended above the galaxy.

"Well, you can just say it with your mouth... Or do you mean you don't believe me?"

"Yours too..." he replied.

"I still want to ask you this. This place..." Yan Jingxing looked around, "What is going on?"

This is an astonishing spectacle that cannot be fully glimpsed with human naked eyes - if all this is not a false background, the only thing that can explain what they can see now is "they are floating in the center of the universe, And he is looking at everything from God’s perspective.”

Unconsciously, he recalled more.

If he hadn't seen Ji Chunzao in front of him as soon as he opened his eyes, and the joy of reunion temporarily suppressed all the emotions in his heart, he would definitely be in a state of being shocked and speechless by the magnificent scene in front of him.

The bright red spiral eyes, coupled with the young and delicate face of the girl, create a strong and wonderful contrast.

"hehe."

Why do similar things appear in my pupils?
At this time, Ji Chunzao in front of him suddenly put his face close to her.

However, if that's the case...

"There are strange lines," she said.

Wherever he looked, he saw the vastness of the universe.

The endless darkness is the background, and in the distance are countless stars that are either bright or dim. He could even see the winding spiral arms of galaxies, which are composed of stars, nebulae and dark matter, forming bright bands of light in the darkness; as well as huge gas and dust clouds all over the field of vision, where thousands of stars gather densely Globular star clusters together...

"There is no mirror here, and there is no water, so I can only see with your eyes, and your eyes reflect my eyes."

...It seems that it is indeed a joke.

Ji Chunzao burst into laughter. She covered her mouth, arched her eyebrows, and smiled like a crescent moon.

"Let's forget about the eyes for now." Ji Chunzao put down his hand and asked curiously, "I want to know how did you get here?"

"What's wrong with my eyes?"

It's very special. You can't forget it once you take a look at it. It's like a monster.

However, it's not scary at all. It's a bright and clear red, like some kind of gem with complex lines... It has a kind of coquettish beauty.

Eyes and spirals, both seem to influence the current reality in some subtle way.

Yan Jingxing suddenly remembered something.

"Uh...w-what are you doing?"

Yan Jingxing stared at Ji Chunzao's face, his clear and bright dark eyes were now a bright red; and in the center of the red, there were circles of spiral patterns spreading out like ripples.

He has lost nothing, and his most important friend is now standing in front of him.

Is it the same "texture"?

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and they are also narrow mirrors. They are the only surface of water that can reflect others. Yan Jingxing stared at her serious look, almost thinking that she was serious.

Although it had only been a few days, since Ji Chunzao fell into coma, his mood has been suppressed by anxiety and impatience. A distant feeling of "as if he is about to lose something" has always lingered in his mind. It is indeed a difficult time for mature teenagers.

She can still be in a funny mood at this time. It seems that she is not in a bad mood. Seeing that Chun Zao was still so energetic, Yan Jingxing felt as if a heavy stone had quietly fallen in his heart, and he felt relieved.

Yan Jingxing grabbed his hair in confusion.

I remember that they first received the inheritance of the abnormal abilities belonging to the Alpha civilization in several machines next to the ruins of the mural in that palace.

Ji Chunzao and Xie Yuzhi - one of the two girls inherited the left eye, the other inherited the right eye, one has the power of the sacrifice, and the other has the power of the king.

While fighting the sea monster, his eyesight and observation skills improved by leaps and bounds after transforming into a giant god, and he even observed some "things" that only existed in another dimension.

Yan Jingxing touched his eye sockets again.

"I'm looking at my own eyes." They were almost face to face, and their noses were already close together. The bright red spiral pupils of the girl in front of her were like a colorful mirror, with the ability to The magic that attracts people’s souls.

"do not move."

But anyway, they finally met again.

"Really or not, it turns out there are two people?"

Yan Jingxing was startled and subconsciously wanted to raise his head, but the girl grabbed his shoulder and heard her say in a serious tone:

"Then, let's both explain the situation to each other. What happened after we separated?"

Ji Chunzao said.

"Actually, in another space, I can still see the actions of you and Yuzhi, but I want to hear you say it in person and what you were thinking at the time."

"I only remember that after I transformed into a giant, I threw the spiral gun at the divine pillar, and then I was caught in a huge light..."

...The two chatted for a while, but most of them had no focus. They were reminiscing and communicating, talking about whatever came to mind. They just 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 them both a while to notice.

...Of course, part of the reason was that she remained silent and did not speak.

"Yu, Yuzhi?" Yan Jingxing caught a glimpse of her existence out of the corner of his eye, and was startled again. He felt that Miss Xie was like a female ghost floating in the universe.

"So you're here! Why aren't you talking?"

"Seeing that you two are chatting lively, I'm sorry to interrupt you."

Miss Xie seemed to be joking, but her expression remained calm.

"Don't say weird things... By the way, since you are here too, it means..."

"Yes, I controlled the fusion of the life-weaving aircraft carrier and the body prototype, so when you control the Titan to fight, my consciousness is also in the Titan's body."

Xie Yuzhi replied.

"I think we both got involved together."

"Great! This way the three of us meet again!"

It wasn't until Chunzao rushed towards her with cheers that the corners of her mouth curved as if she were relaxed.

Miss Xie patted the shoulder of her friend in her arms.

"I have been listening to the conversation between you two since just now, so I have noticed something worthy of attention. I can make bold guesses, but they may not be correct."

Xie Yuzhi looked into the eyes of the two friends. From her perspective as a third party, everything seemed very clear: Ji Chunzao and Yan Jingxing's pupils now showed complex spiral patterns, one was red, One is white.

She took a deep breath, lowered her gaze, then raised a finger and continued.

"There are two mysterious forces in this universe, which may be in an antagonistic relationship. From our visual perspective, they appear as red spirals and white spirals. The former symbolizes life and evolution, while the latter It’s very likely to be death… I’ll just guess that.”

"The power carrier of the red spiral is the divine pillar, while the white spiral has only appeared on the prototype body so far."

"Um……"

Yan Jingxing nodded.

In short, a new mystery has emerged, this time it is of cosmic level.

But they are no longer in the mood to think about that. The most important thing right now is...

"Chun Zao, did you succeed?"

Xie Yuzhi looked at her again.

"Maybe……"

The curly-haired girl looked eager to give it a try, but after being questioned a little, she showed signs of shrinking.

"You can't joke about this kind of thing. We have to go back later."

Miss Xie looked around with wonder in her eyes.

This kind of experience of drifting in the universe is something that people who live on a planet and are bound by gravity will never experience once in their lifetime.

"Although the scenery of the universe is very spectacular and I will never tire of it...but we still have to go back to Baiyue Town in the end."

"Yes, if after we go back, the power of the divine pillar has not completely dissipated and continues to cause trouble, we may not have the strength to fight. Neither I nor Yuzhi."

"Well, my head still hurts now. Fortunately, the battle 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 by Yu Zhi.

"I, I know! It's okay, it's definitely possible this time!"

Ji Chunzao clenched his fist and made up his mind.

"That's good. Then, there's the second question. Speaking of going back..."

The universe is still vast and still dark.

"——What on earth are we going to do?"

After this question, all three fell into silence.

To be honest, I don’t even know how they got here. I can only make a vague guess: after the prototype as the carrier of the power of the white spiral and the sacred pillar symbolizing the red spiral came into contact with each other, some kind of mutation occurred, so the Their consciousnesses were all transferred to this space.

The good news is that they did meet again; the bad news is that the place of reunion is not on the earth, but on the other side, in the space where Ji Chunzao's consciousness is.

No one can count on them now. We can't expect anyone else to save them, right?
Just when the three of them were at a loss what to do, another familiar figure appeared.

Yan Jingxing was the first to discover it. The moment he saw the figure, he suddenly had a premonition that "everything was already destined."

He grabbed the hands of the two girls next to him at the same time, one on each side.

"The astronauts are here, let's get ready."

——The astronaut who had not appeared for a long time, wearing an old-fashioned spacesuit and a goldfish helmet, was not far away.

"He" stood there, silently waving to the young people. After this action, "he" became as silent as a statue again, standing motionless.

Even without speaking, everyone realizes that the other person is here to help them get home.

Yan Jingxing was still vaguely aware that this might be the last time this person appeared in front of them.

The figure of the astronaut gradually became blurry. He could not suppress the confusion in his heart and shouted to the other party the confusion that had been lingering in his heart since the first meeting:
"——You...who are you?"

The astronaut didn't answer.

After "his" figure dissipated, the huge star behind was revealed. Endless light formed a staircase that spanned billions of galaxies, leading them back to Earth...
