It was one o'clock in the afternoon at the Kunlun Mountain range.
Countless birds within a radius of a few hundred kilometers suddenly flapped their wings and flew away as if they were startled. Their cries filled half of the sky.
At the same time, the cloudless blue sky was filled with clouds that looked like ribbons, strands, and broken cotton. These clouds were changing rapidly, appearing and disappearing at the same time.
On a rugged path along the ridge of the mountain, a figure was walking up the steps step by step, moving forward at a leisurely pace.
His surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. Even the usual buzzing of insects seemed to have become completely silent with his arrival.
The small path was paved with bluestone and covered with moss. On both sides of the path, there were some thriving plants that had already gradually spread to the small path. However, before they could even touch that person's body, they turned into wisps of thin smoke as if they had been eroded by the wind, leaving no trace behind.
His silhouette looked rather blurry. The air around him was vibrating intensely, and all the forces seemed to be distorted.
Of course, the person was Luo Yuan.
He walked forward step by step with a solemn expression on his porcelain face. Half an hour later, he finally reached the peak of the mountain.
The peak of the mountain was extremely smooth and flat, as if it had been cut in half. There were only four tombs arranged in the middle, and in front of each tombstone was a bouquet of fresh flowers that had yet to wither.
Luo Yuan was silent for a while and sighed in his heart. He could smell the lingering scent of the fresh flowers that had yet to wither. It was left behind by Wang Shishi. However, when she realized that her face was no longer there, she began to avoid him.
Time was the most ruthless. First, it was Chen Xinjie who passed away.
Then, it was Huang Jiahui, followed by Wang Xiaguang and Zhao Yali. The oldest among them had only lived for about 170 years.
Although human genetic technology was extremely advanced, and humans had already cracked the code of life more than a hundred years ago, they had even developed a genetic version of the new human being that could live for more than 300 years.
However, just like a piece of white paper that was easy to draw on, the old human being was precisely a drawing that had already been covered with paint. Even if the current technology could fully modify the genes of all the cells, there was one part that was still forbidden.
That was the core of human life — the brain. Any modification to the brain cells would inevitably change the potential signals of the cerebral cortex, and the final result would be that the memory would become a mess.
They were not like Luo Yuan, whose Will was strong enough to carry the memory and information. Even if his body was turned into a ball of particles, he could still think and modify the memory in his brain.
They were just ordinary people who were slightly more powerful. Even if they had consumed the energy crystal core, it would be like a castle in the air, unable to change the nature of their lives.
He could still remember the first time he met Zhao Yali. It was when he rented a house not long after he graduated. At that time, he was still young and immature, full of vigor and vigor. Facing this soft-spoken woman, he couldn't help but blush.
He could still clearly remember the first time he met Huang Jiahui. At that time, the apocalypse had just begun. She was wearing a police uniform and looked valiant.
There was also Wang Xiaguang, this gentle and affectionate woman who dared to love and hate. He had let her down a lot.
And Chen Xinjie …
He vaguely felt as if these memories had happened yesterday, but now they were worlds apart.
Did he love them? Maybe, maybe not.
In that precarious post-apocalyptic world, when human nature was freed from its shackles, there was no need to consider such things. It was more of a pure desire between a man and a woman, and in the end, it gradually turned into familial affection.
…
Luo Yuan silently mourned for a while and disappeared from where he was.
The next moment, he arrived at the mansion near the Space City. The continuous growth of his Strength for more than a hundred years had made it impossible for him to live in a crowd since a few decades ago.
Based on the system's numerical value, his Will had reached more than 40 points. His Will had increased by more than a hundred times. If Luo Yuan's Will was an ordinary critical metal in the past, he had now become a white dwarf that emitted intense radiation. Just the aura that he unconsciously emitted was enough to destroy the mind of an ordinary person. The area of effect could reach up to a hundred kilometers away.
There was a price to pay for being strong. While he had eternal life, he had to bear the burden of loneliness.
Fortunately, Luo Yuan had learned to get used to such loneliness.
His mansion was completely exposed in space without any protection. No matter how fast a meteorite was, it could not be destroyed. The critical metal that he had personally synthesized was dead silent and there was no light at all. He did not need any light anyway.
His body floated to the metal floor, he turned his head and looked at the Earth that was far away. He stood there silently for a while.
He then walked into the hall. The hall was simple and empty. Other than the three cold metal walls, there were no other decorations.
He waved his hand and a space ball appeared from a higher dimension. It was the breeding ground for the interstellar creature.
The first generation of the interstellar creature had died a long time ago. Fortunately, this kind of creature reproduced monogamously. Before its Will collapsed, it would consume its remaining Strength to give birth to the next generation. The one that was alive now was the third generation.
Perhaps it was because Luo Yuan was still unable to accelerate the time of his Will, the strength of each generation of the interstellar creature would inevitably deteriorate. The lifespan of each generation was greatly reduced. The first generation of the interstellar creature had lived for more than 300,000 years, but the second generation only lived for 150,000 years. The third generation of the interstellar creature had only accelerated its lifespan by 50,000 years and was already showing signs of fatigue.
Throughout the hundreds of years, the three generations of interstellar creatures had contributed more than 16,000 energy crystals. Every year, they could produce up to 300 million wisdom elixirs. It could be said that the three generations of interstellar creatures had contributed a lot to the rapid development of human technology.
As usual, Luo Yuan sent his Will into the interstellar creature's breeding ground. As usual, he accelerated the time of the interstellar creature. Who knew that during the process, his Will would cause a slight fluctuation that was impossible to occur. All the molecules in the interstellar creature's body were shattered and its body completely collapsed.
Of course, to him, such a mistake was not irreparable. As long as the Will in the interstellar creature's cells had not dissipated, he could quickly revert to the state of the particles a few seconds ago.
However, Luo Yuan did not move. When he regained his senses, the Will in the interstellar creature's cells had dissipated. There was not much left and it was difficult to save it.
At this moment, Luo Yuan was no longer in the mood to care about it. He sighed.
His four-dimensionalization was finally coming!
Perhaps it was because of his increased strength, Luo Yuan's feeling of the four-dimensionalization was stronger than the last time. It happened earlier as well, giving him a few days to prepare.
Up until now, he had gone through the four-dimensionalization twice. This would be the third time.
The first time he went through the four-dimensionalization, it was a peaceful one. Other than the deepening of the four-dimensionalization and the change in his height, it did not affect the outside world much.
However, the second time he went through the four-dimensionalization, it caused a slight fluctuation in the space. His body expanded a thousand times and became a giant that was more than 20 meters tall. It was so destructive that it almost destroyed the captive Glassian spaceship.
The two times he went through the four-dimensionalization, it could be clearly seen that the movement of the two times was exponential. The third time he went through the four-dimensionalization, it was obvious that it would be more intense and it might even cause a disaster.
Suddenly, he felt that he could not stay in outer space or even the solar system after going through the four-dimensionalization.
He made a prompt decision and immediately left two messages for Wang Shishi and Luo Shengwei.
The next moment, his body instantly appeared at the periphery of the solar system. After more than ten consecutive teleportations, he soon arrived at a distance of one light year away. However, his intuition told him that this distance was not enough to ensure his safety.
The atoms in his body were instantly crushed and compressed, forming a miniature white dwarf. He then activated the space-time bubble and randomly chose a direction and flew forward.
Within ten minutes, the speed of his space-time bubble had reached its limit, it was close to 4,000 times the speed of light.
His body seemed to have transformed into a dazzling ray of light, flying across the space at lightning speed. One after another, the stars were left behind him. The strong fluctuation in the space was transmitted to an endless distance.
Five days later, he finally stopped near a barren star system. It was more than 50 light years away from the solar system.
Luo Yuan had completely released the compression of the atoms and his body had regained a height of more than 20 meters. He looked at the fourth dimension and his heart was calm.
The Will that he had exhausted was recovering at a shocking speed. Within ten seconds, he had recovered to his peak condition.
Gradually, his body became bright and dark, it was half-real and half-illusionary. A large amount of dark energy was crazily flowing into his body. The dissipated energy turned into a strong pulse of the universe. An asteroid belt that was tens of millions of kilometers away was like a candle under high temperature under the impact of the pulse. It only lasted for a few seconds before it was completely vaporized as if it had never existed. Even a frozen planet that was hundreds of millions of kilometers away began to show signs of melting.
The premonition in the dark was getting stronger and stronger. His body could not wait to send out the signal that it was about to warp.
