Finding a star in the interstellar desert was as difficult as finding an oasis in a desert. That was why very few civilizations would choose to cross the interstellar desert. Most races that chose to cross the interstellar desert would get lost in the interstellar desert and eventually die.
This was unless one had sufficient resources, fast movement tools, or reached the Mythical stage like Wei Huo and the Snake God.
Otherwise, entering the interstellar desert would be a dead end.
The interstellar desert was a dark area. There was nothing there. There were no stars, no star paths, not even dust, gaseous clouds, or meteorites, which were common in the universe.
It was as if someone had used an eraser to erase everything in this Star Field, or perhaps an incomparably huge creature had bitten down and devoured everything in this area.
When Wei Huo and the others talked about these possibilities, the Snake God said, "That's not impossible. If I were given a few hundred million years, I might be able to grow to this realm. The end of the Mythical stage is this universe. My mental strength can keep growing by devouring. Its upper limit should be as big as this universe."
Wei Huo said, "You need to devour matter to increase your mental strength. However, all the matter in this universe can't fill up the universe. That's why your mental strength can never cover as big as the entire universe."
The Snake God said, "Yes, this is really a pity."
As the Snake God spoke, he played with a glass ball. It was a black glass ball with small stars inside.
This was actually a Pocket Universe that he had obtained from Wei Huo. He planned to create a new Pocket Universe and evolve new life in it. In the beginning, it would be single-celled and multi-celled. Then, it would gradually evolve into different species and eventually evolve into intelligent creatures.
Then, the Snake God would find an individual with potential among these intelligent creatures and give him all sorts of opportunities and challenges. He would let him experience setbacks and suffering so that he could grow and become stronger.
However, the Snake God had tried many times. These intelligent creatures could only grow to the late stage of the Legendary stage at most. They could not even reach the peak of the Legendary stage, let alone the Mythical stage.
Wei Huo said, "There are three kinds of limits in the universe. Individual limits, biological limits, and physical limits. The Legendary stage should be the limit of biological evolution. This limit cannot be surpassed by external forces. One has to gain enlightenment and sublimate one's soul. The physical limit is even more difficult. One has to see through life and death and escape the control of all rules."
The Snake God said, "We still don't understand the secrets of the soul. One of the four terrifying civilizations is the Void Spirit Civilization. Perhaps we should look for the descendants of the Void Spirit Civilization and figure out the secrets of the soul. When the time comes, we might be able to reach a higher level."
Chen Xuanyue could not imagine what realm it would be if one was at the Mythical stage.
Wei Huo smiled and said, "That realm might be able to break the world barrier and complete transcendence. In terms of extreme thinking, it should be the world's limit."
However, the limit of this world was just an unreachable goal. It was almost impossible to reach.
The black-and-white Titan kept moving forward in the interstellar desert. In the Titan battleship, the Snake God kept studying the pocket universe. The living beings in the pocket universe were renewed generation after generation. The Snake God also selected a few talented people again and again and gave them heavy responsibilities.
Besides, the Snake God spared no effort in creating villains to train these geniuses. However, the effect was not as good as he had imagined. Many of these geniuses could not even reach the Legendary stage, let alone the Mythical stage.
While the Snake God was engrossed in the pocket universe, Wei Huo sat cross-legged and entered a state of true silence. As soon as he sat down and closed his eyes, he seemed like a dead person. There were no signs of life in his body.
Mythical creatures were no longer humans. Human concepts could not be applied to them.
Chen Xuanyue tried her best to comprehend the Mythical stage. She was thinking, comprehending, and experiencing it, but she could not break through the barrier. She could not take another step forward. The Mythical stage had become a chasm that she could not cross.
Little Xuanyue, on the other hand, lived a very free life. It was unknown whether everyone who was near the end of their lifespan would be like this. Little Xuanyue's innocence had gradually disappeared with the passage of time. Now, the thing she most often did was sit on the steps and look at the endless sea.
In the past, she would have flown around restlessly in such an environment. Perhaps she would have picked flowers, perhaps she would have chased after butterflies, or perhaps she would have caught a crab as a mount.
But at this moment, she was just sitting on the steps, leaving only a shadow of her tiny body. If the sun were to set, her small shadow would be elongated.
Little Xuanyue's complexion was getting worse, and her body was getting fainter.
Chen Xuanyue looked at her small back and did not know what to say. She could make a small coffin for Little Xuanyue, but Little Xuanyue would probably not leave a corpse behind. As a spirit body, if her lifespan ended, she would only dissipate and not leave a corpse behind.
Chen Xuanyue thought about how Little Xuanyue had protected her for countless years when she had sealed herself in the coffin. However, when Little Xuanyue reached the end of her life, she could not protect her … unless she sealed her in ice.
That was the only way. There was hope for eternal life in the universe. As long as she sealed Little Xuanyue in ice and found the secret of eternal life, she could extend her lifespan. However, that was just an extravagant hope.
"Anyone will die …" Chen Xuanyue mumbled to herself and went into seclusion.
No one could help Little Xuanyue, not even God. As long as one did not become a Mythical creature, one would die. Any life, be it tangible or intangible, or whether one had a body or not, could not escape this outcome.
The black-and-white Titan battleship kept moving forward. In this interstellar desert, the black-and-white Titan battleship was the only traveler. No one knew how long it would take to walk out of the interstellar desert, nor did anyone know how long it would take to find the black hole hidden in the interstellar desert.
Time passed slowly, and Little Xuanyue's spirit body became dimmer and dimmer. Her spirit body had become translucent.
Most of the time, Little Xuanyue could not even concentrate. Her thoughts kept wandering. Sometimes, she would look at a crab by the sea for an entire day. Sometimes, she would stare at a swaying weed by the roadside in a daze. Sometimes, she would look up at the ever-changing clouds in the sky.
Only when she saw Chen Xuanyue would she be a little more energetic. However, most of the time, she was in a daze. She had been sitting on the steps in front of the door for a long time. It had been many years. Every time Chen Xuanyue opened the door, she would see her.
