An Unending Pursuit
The sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky.
However, other than the brilliant sun in the sky, one could vaguely see the outline of a planet in the distance. Clearly, this was not Earth. However, the landscape was similar to Earth. At the very least, the yellow sand here stretched as far as the eye could see, exactly the same as the deserts on Earth.
There were always countless similarities in the universe, and this place was no exception.
In the depths of the desert, there was an extremely ancient but elegant city. Even though the yellow sand filled the sky, it could not hide it. This was because the city had a shield that protected the ancient city day and night. The buildings in the ancient city were mostly built of stone, but the temple at the center was made of some unknown metal. Behind the temple stood a spire. This spire had no doors or windows, so no one had been able to enter it over the years.
The spire pierced the clouds, and from afar, it looked like a giant pillar that supported the heavens and the earth. It sparkled, reflecting the light of the sun, and could be seen even from extremely far away.
"Everyone, please look. This is the most famous building in the city, the Holy Spire. For millions of years, no one has been able to enter the spire. There was once a sovereign who came from afar who wanted to enter the spire, but he had no way to do so. After staying near the spire for ten years without any results, he had no choice but to leave. That is why people call it the Holy Spire. After all, even a sovereign cannot open it. "
On a spaceship, there was a square porthole at the front of the spaceship. Standing in front of the porthole, one could see everything outside.
The passengers on this spaceship were not humans, but aliens of all shapes and sizes. Some had heads as large as a bucket, but their bodies were very small. Their heads were even soaked in a helmet filled with liquid. Some looked like sea urchins, but their bodies were covered in hair. Some had flat heads with a dozen or so asymmetrical eyeballs. There were even some that looked like bugs. There were so many and so on.
From a human's point of view, one of the passengers, who was sitting quietly in a dark cloak, looked much more normal.
This was an interstellar travel group. In this high-dimensional universe, there was no more war and disease had been eliminated. All living beings were actively exploring more mysteries of the universe, and there were even pioneers of immigration to other universes. Of course, not everyone was willing to leave everything they were familiar with and throw themselves into the exploration of unknown dimensions without any hesitation. Therefore, traveling around the planets of various Star Fields became a very popular business.
In the beginning, interstellar travel was just a simple sightseeing trip to an unknown planet. Later, people's tastes became more and more picky, so the tourism projects became more complicated. Among these different types of tourism, archaeological tours had recently become very popular. Many people liked to go to those ancient planets and explore the traces that their ancestors might have left behind to reminisce.
Of course, the truly valuable ancient civilizations were all strictly protected. Those that could be opened to the public had already lost their research value. If not, it would be just like this Holy Spire. No matter how much you studied it, you wouldn't be able to get any results.
The spaceship began to enter the ancient city, heading to the docking port of the ancient city, and then boarded the Land Speeder to head to the Holy Spire. The passengers on the bus were in a heated discussion. Even though they came from different star fields and different planets, the current universal language translation device allowed them to speak freely. Only one passenger remained silent, and that was a strange man in a cloak.
The tour guide was an alien woman who could be considered beautiful by human standards. She walked up to the strange man in the cloak and said, "Sir, are you not satisfied with this trip? If that's the case, you can tell us your suggestions. We'll listen carefully, and if it's of positive significance to us, we'll be happy to adopt it. "
"No." A very magnetic voice came from the cloak. "You've arranged it well. I'm very satisfied. It's just that I don't like to get too close to people. "
"I see. I understand." The tour guide retreated very politely and said, "If there's anything you need, please let me know at any time."
The bus finally stopped, and the passengers got off one after another. The tour guide had already begun to explain the history of the Holy Spire. "13,000 years ago, this place was still a wasteland. At that time, this desert swallowed everything. Until one day, someone saw a bright light in the desert, and then saw something rising up bit by bit. Yes, that was the Holy Spire. No one knew why it had appeared, or what the meaning of its appearance was. All we know is that when it appeared, the desert became much more docile, and oases appeared everywhere, allowing the people of 10,000 years ago to build cities around these oases. This Holy Remains City was the first city, and it was built on the largest oasis beneath the Holy Spire. "
The tour guide retreated to the side. In front of them was a lush greenery, tall trees, and a cool breeze, completely devoid of heat. There was a large lake there, and on the lake floated many nameless plants. They had snow-white stamens and light purple leaves. The Holy Spire stood in the middle of the lake, and it rose from the lake, pointing straight into the clouds.
The cloaked man walked toward the shore of the lake. The tour guide noticed this strange man and warned, "Sir, it's best not to get close to the Holy Lake. The locals view this lake as a treasure of the desert. They will risk their lives for anyone who gets close to the Holy Lake. If you want to observe the Spire, I know another place. Oh, no. Sir, please stop. "
Seeing that the strange man had already stepped into the soft soil of the lake, and that the natives living in the nearby Holy City were already looking at him with hostility, the tour guide hurriedly ran forward. At this moment, the sky above her head darkened. She looked up and saw a black rainbow streaking across the sky. The Holy City's shield was useless against it, and it easily crashed into the Holy City, circled around the Holy Tower, and then fell vertically into the Holy Lake.
Suddenly, the lake surged!
The tour guide's face turned green as she saw the tsunami-like lake water rushing toward her. Suddenly, the cloaked man seemed to sigh, and then he raised his hand. The lake water suddenly split in the middle, surging past him and the tour guide behind him, and who knew how many tourists and natives were washed away. Then the tour guide heard the cloaked man say, "Hurry up and leave, Miss, that man has a bad temper."
The tour guide left in panic, and only after glancing at the cloaked man from afar did she really leave.
The man took off his hat, revealing silver-white hair and handsome facial features. He looked very young, but for some reason, his eyes contained the vicissitudes of life that could only be accumulated over a long period of time. He sighed and said, "Are you done yet? After coming to this universe, you have been chasing me everywhere, across many star fields. I think you know better than me how many."
Under the Holy Spire, a black light filled the air, and someone said, "Even if you escape to another universe, I will still chase you to the end. Now, I have nothing else to ask for, I only want to be able to kill you! "
"Is revenge that important to you?" The cloaked man said, "Look at this universe, don't you feel that the past is very far away from us? We clearly have more time to explore the mysteries of this universe, so why do you keep chasing me? This is not an interesting thing for you or me. "
"Of course you will say that, because to you, being able to explore the universe where your creator is from is a happy thing. But to me, it is not the same thing. If I give up chasing you, what meaning would there be in my life! "
The cloaked man shook his head, pointed to the sky and said, "You have to understand, this is different from our original universe. There are as many as twelve Supremes in this universe. Oh, an unlucky guy was killed by that person. But even the weakest of the remaining eleven is far stronger than us. If you and I fight, do you think they won't interfere? "
"What do you mean?"
The cloaked man looked at the Holy Spire and said, "While being chased by you all over the world, I have collected information about this spire. It should be something left behind by the creator. After all, until now, no one has been able to enter the spire. I think I have some clues to open it, but it will take a bit of time. If you can help me do some research, I will give you the opportunity to fight with all my strength the day I open this dust tower. The Supremes can't interfere in the battle inside, how about it? "
"Don't give me that, it's not the first day I met you. You must be plotting something again. "
The cloaked man spread his hands and said, "Then come, I dare to bet that as long as you make a move, the Supremes of this universe will interfere. They are very strange, even if the creator no longer exists, they still maintain the most basic order of this universe, which is peace. They hate war, but that doesn't mean they are cowards. You have to know, we are not that man. I don't have the ability to casually kill a Supremes with neither high nor low combat power. "
"Damn it, fine then. But I will keep an eye on you all day, don't think of playing any tricks. "
"Of course." The cloaked man laughed, "You will find me anyway, what tricks can I play."
The black light came closer, and a man in full armor walked out. He held the hilt of the long sword at his waist and said, "Then, what do we do next?"
"Very simple, the first thing, we have to disappear from here, and then come back with another identity, if you don't want to attract attention." With that, the cloaked man turned around and left.
The black-armored man quickly followed, and the two of them followed suit, leaving the Holy City in the blink of an eye. The next day, there were two more tourists in the Holy City. This was a tourist attraction. Not to mention two more tourists, even if there were two hundred more, it wouldn't attract any attention.
However, three days later, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, someone roared into the sky, "Damn Spenak, you actually went back on your word! I knew I couldn't trust an old thing like you. You bastard, even if I chase you to another universe, I won't let you go! "
The residents of the Holy City were awakened by the sudden loud noise. When they ran out of the house, they saw a black rainbow break through the shield and disappear into the distance in an instant.
This was destined to be an endless chase.
