Without spaceships and fleets, in the vast and endless universe, Chu Yunsheng felt the emptiness of space travel for the first time.
In the past, when he was in the Cold Star Fleet, he didn't have this feeling. There were always all kinds of people around him, either the underground dwarfs or a few cardinals. There was also a huge residential area in the lower level of the fleet, where millions of people lived.
This was different from living alone in a residence or being closed in the zero-dimensional space. Although the starry sky that could be seen seemed to be eternally still, it was not closed and vast.
However, it was in this extreme vastness that there would be a feeling of extreme emptiness.
The Wu Nu people once had a saying to the effect that if a single life traveled alone in the universe for too long, beyond a certain time limit, the thoughts of the life would change in a wonderful way.
For this reason, they had done an experiment. They took two intelligent lives of the same kind with the same background, experience, and age as a pair of samples. One was placed in an enclosed space like a small black room, and the other was let to travel alone in the universe.
After a long time, the two met again. Through a large number of sample comparisons, the Wu Nu people found that the difference in their changes was very obvious. Compared with the former, the latter had a certain probability of leapfrogging changes in their thoughts.
As a popular science reading material for earthlings, there were many similar boring experiments of the Wu Nu people, and because Chu Yunsheng had experienced it himself, he was quite impressed by this one.
It was unlikely for him to become a thinker because of this, but with the experience of the level-five collapse of the zero-dimensional space, this little bit of emptiness was nothing. At least there were stars and galaxies to see, and there was a little worm that couldn't speak, and a "long worm" that was too good at talking – the linear cardinal.
In addition, he still had a lot of things to do now. Recovering from his injuries, observing the movements around him, paying attention to the movements of the pursuers on the second battlefield, flying to the left-rotating coalition forces on the third battlefield, cultivating Ben Ti Yuan Qi, preparing talismans again, fusing the fourth sword style, practicing the first three sword styles, deducing runes, exploring the cardinal power, and so on.
Once he was busy, time flew by quickly. Only when he stopped would he occasionally feel the emptiness of being surrounded by an extremely precise starry sky.
There was no end, no distance, and no sense of reality when one looked back after walking for a while. Even flying seemed to be stationary in the universe, forever staying in the same place.
This feeling was most obvious on the linear cardinal. It looked like it was being tortured. It wanted to enter a special dormant state like before, but because Chu Yunsheng was next to it, it had to give up. Especially when there was a chubby little bug staring at it tirelessly and drooling all the time.
Under such circumstances, how could it dare to relax?
There was no time to be vigilant.
But if it wanted to "talk" to Chu Yunsheng, it would often not be able to return, and if it talked too much, it would be scolded by Chu Yunsheng.
Guarding the torment of emptiness, the thread cardinal gradually shouted madly in his heart, "Speak, speak, aren't you all lonely?"
Unfortunately, no one spoke to it.
The second battlefield behind them was long gone, and only a few spots of light could be seen. Those were formed by the thrusters of the fleet that arrived later, and the shadows of the left-leaning coalition army were also slowly and imperceptibly merging into the stars in the sky.
They seemed to have become tiny existences that no one knew about, sinking in the vast and dark universe.
Compared to the starships that specialized in flying, the speed of the linear cardinal was not too fast. Its real advantage was its long-term flight endurance, as well as the dark energy fluctuations that would dissipate very quickly. There was no light radiation, so it was extremely stealthy in the starry sky.
"Let's go to the planet you mentioned and have a look."
When the spots of light on the second battlefield had completely merged into the stars in the sky, and could no longer be seen with the naked eye, Chu Yunsheng finally made a decision.
The grave worm needed to find a safe place to eat, or even to hatch. If he could find a place with sufficient fire elemental energy, that would be the best.
In addition, a place with life might also be able to find some valuable "food" for the stone-like sealed creature.
If one of these two "foodies" could play a role before they arrived at the third battlefield, it might be of great help to the third battle of life and death.
"Sir is wise!"
The linear cardinal immediately became excited while learning the tone of the Cold Star and flattering Chu Yunsheng.
If they didn't go to the planet with life now, even if they brought Chu Yunsheng to the third battlefield, it would not have much life left, and it would not be able to live until the day of the war.
Since they were going to the planet with life, it naturally found a topic and said, "Sir, that planet is very hidden, located at the edge of the star cluster 63552.312. As long as we don't alarm the patrollers of the star cluster 63552.312, no one will find us, and it is very likely that there are abandoned starships on it!"
What they were going to rob was life force. It knew it, and Chu Yunsheng also knew it, so there was no need to say it out loud.
Although its current value was to be a good "coachman", it would naturally be better if it could become a "pilot". It estimated that Chu Yunsheng would not start a starship, so even if he found an abandoned starship, it would still have a value that could not be ignored.
'Wait, does the abolished crown prince think that all cardinal creatures are bumpkins like him?'
'Oh no, I forgot to consider this …'
The linear cardinal suddenly had a bad feeling. Just as it was about to explain the scope of its ability, it heard Chu Yunsheng ask calmly,
"Are you very familiar with that planet?"
This question was already within its expectations, but because it was too excited just now, it said something wrong. At this moment, it replied nervously, "I don't dare to hide it from you, sir. When I was temporarily captured by Venerable Lang Ziyi to the cold star, the place I used to rule was also in the star cluster 63552.312. At that time, my people were fighting with the enemy, and now I don't know if they have migrated to other places."
The Venerable Lang Ziyi that the linear cardinal mentioned was the life form from the Source Gate that Chu Yunsheng killed in the battle of the cold star. During this period of time, although Chu Yunsheng did not speak much, he had been listening to some of the historical issues that the linear cardinal 'explained'.
According to it, it was extremely innocent.
It was sitting at "home" and was having a good time fighting the war, but Lang Ziyi came from the sky, captured it as a strong man, and brought it to the cold star, the "bitter cold" place. It was gone for many years, and it didn't even have a holiday to go back.
It had always been very concerned about its people, and it really didn't want to be Chu Yunsheng's enemy.
It finally escaped from the Battle of Cold Star, and all it wanted to do was to "go home". However, things did not go as it wished. It was captured by the Venerable Lu Bully on the way and became a strong man again. It almost died on the second battlefield.
Its biggest and only wish now was to 'go home'. Other than that, it had never and would never have the thought of being Chu Yunsheng's enemy.
This was all the content that it had 'explained' before, but Chu Yunsheng did not say anything after listening to it.
At this moment, after listening to the second "in-depth" confession that it did not dare to hide, Chu Yunsheng still said calmly, "Since there is a war, how can you be sure that the planet has not been discovered?"
The line cardinal saw that Chu Yunsheng was not as ignorant as it thought, and did not ask whether it knew how to start the starship, so it said according to the idea that it had prepared, "Master, although that planet is a primitive life planet, its location is very remote, and the planet is extremely difficult to detect. If it weren't for the occasional strategic detour, we wouldn't have discovered it. There are countless galaxies in a star cluster. Even if we patrol for tens of thousands of years, it is impossible to go through all of them. The starry sky is too big."
Chu Yunsheng said calmly, "How do you know that there might be a starship on it?"
The line cardinal said, "We just took a detour at that time. We didn't want to alarm them, and we were afraid that the enemy would find our traces. At that time, the situation of the war was not very favorable for us … We launched a secret unmanned spacecraft over and lurked on one of the satellites of that planet. You know the biological characteristics of our people. At that time, we were prepared to leave a way out. After all, that is a primitive life planet that no one knows about."
Chu Yunsheng said, "So, that spaceship is your own? Why did you say that it might exist just now? "
The line cardinal naturally wouldn't have any loopholes that couldn't be justified. Otherwise, how could it convince Chu Yunsheng? It then explained, "Master, I was captured a long time ago, so I don't know if that spaceship has been used or not. There has been no news of my people. I don't know if they have migrated or met with an accident.
That spaceship still contains the life spark of our people, which is to prevent the possibility of losing the war and being annihilated. It's not only us who do this. Many races, in order to avoid being completely annihilated, will leave their life seeds in suitable places in the universe. Of course, this needs to reach a certain level. Ordinary races don't have that ability even if they want to. "
Its last words were probably to prove that its race was not too backward, so Chu Yunsheng didn't take it seriously. No matter what, Chu Yunsheng was still a Source Gate, wasn't he?
But it didn't expect that after saying so much, Chu Yunsheng suddenly said, "I don't want to go anymore."
The line cardinal was shocked and hurriedly said, "Master, I'm telling the truth."
Chu Yunsheng didn't answer it. Just like before, there was no sound, and there was no return.
After a while, the line cardinal suddenly thought that it was common for low-level intelligent life forms to be moody, and it was even more so when they suddenly obtained great power.
After hesitating for a long time, it decided to tell a very tempting secret, "Master, that planet may have a natural Source Body …"
