The entire North Pole was hollowed out into a huge space.
This used to be the most important place in Jiang Li's empire. Jiang Li conducted all sorts of experiments here, especially the construction of the ultimate spaceship.
Up until now, Jiang Li had built a total of four spaceships.
One of them was relatively small and had already been completed. Spaceships two, three, and four were all incomplete.
However, these were just test subjects. They were all prepared to build the ultimate spaceship.
Even though they were just test subjects, Shen Lang was completely amazed. This was because they were too … too huge.
Each spaceship occupied an area of more than a few square kilometers. It was completely like a small moving city.
Not only that, the material of each spaceship was extremely advanced. There were a total of three layers.
The outermost layer was the hell crystal layer. It could absorb all energy damage. The second layer was the White Jade Dome. It could isolate most energy in this world, including radiation. It could also resist most physical damage in hell. The innermost layer was the secret metal layer. This was a brand new secret metal that Jiang Li had researched. It had a very low density, but it was shockingly hard and tough. It could also withstand temperatures of more than 10,000 degrees Celsius.
In short, the outer shell of this spaceship was much more advanced than all the fighter jets on Earth.
So, what was it relying on?
It was not nuclear power, nor was it the ancient energy core. It was the hell crystal energy core.
This was an extremely powerful energy. However, the principle behind its implementation was very simple. After the hell crystal swallowed an endless amount of energy, it would continuously compress and release it when it was compressed to the extreme.
This was equivalent to letting the hell crystal spit out the energy it had swallowed. However, there were many ways to spit out the energy. It could be flames, plasma, or even various gases.
Shen Lang extracted all the hell crystals from the 300,000 ancient homo evolutis and compressed them continuously. In the end, they were only the size of a diamond.
Each hell crystal core that Jiang Li had prepared was about a cubic meter. Some were spherical, while others were cubic.
The compression level of each was very high. Shen Lang estimated that the energy released by one cubic meter of hell crystal core was equivalent to one million tons of TNT.
This was already very impressive. It had already surpassed conventional nuclear power.
Of course, this energy was all swallowed from the mantle and core. It was completely the vitality of this planet.
Therefore, these hell crystal cores could be used as nuclear bombs.
It had to be said that Jiang Li's thinking was very straightforward, but it was also very advanced.
Therefore, his entire spaceship was very simple and did not have any complicated parts. This way, the failure rate could be minimized.
What was even stranger was that it was all human souls that were controlling this spaceship.
There wouldn't be any machines on the spaceship, nor would there be any artificial intelligence. All of them would be the souls of ancient humans.
Jiang Li was the leader of this fleet. He controlled a few hundred ancient Homo Evolutis, and the few hundred ancient Homo Evolutis controlled a few hundred thousand.
In other words, when they escaped to this planet in the future, these ancient Homo Evolutis would still abandon their bodies and only take their souls with them.
Then why did they have to build such a huge ship? Transporting souls didn't require much space, right?
The reason why the spaceship was so huge was that it had to carry more Hell Crystal Cores.
According to the information Jiang Li left behind, Shen Lang made a rough calculation.
According to Jiang Li's plan, it would still fail.
One cubic meter of Hell Crystal Core weighed less than a ton. This density was already frighteningly low, even lower than water. However, the energy contained within was equivalent to one million tons of TNT.
Including the spaceship, one cubic meter of mass was less than 500 kilograms. (Other than the low density of the spaceship, there was also a huge space inside the spaceship. Therefore, one cubic meter of Hell Crystal Core weighed less than 500 kilograms.)
In other words, one cubic meter of Hell Crystal Core had to release about 1,300 kilograms of material from this world to Earth.
But … it was impossible.
This was because this world was too far away from Earth.
Even though Jiang Li had increased the energy efficiency to such a level, he still couldn't do it.
Therefore, Jiang Li thought of ways to let the Hell Crystals undergo nirvana so that they could devour the energy of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.
Of course, this level of flight didn't even have enough energy for nuclear fission. They could only rely on controlled nuclear fusion.
Some people said that since there were Hell Crystals, they could fly and devour energy at the same time.
This was impossible in most cases.
This was because the universe was much more vast than one could imagine. There might be hundreds of billions of kilometers of space without any planets or stars to devour. There was only endless darkness.
Forget about spaceships.
Even Shen Yilong and Jiang Xinlong couldn't fly from this planet to Earth. Before they could even complete half of the flight distance, all their energy would be depleted. Moreover, they wouldn't be able to replenish their energy midway.
Therefore … there was only one way to truly fly between universes, and that was to jump through space.
This was the Ultimate Dragon's understanding of time and space.
… …
Shen Lang stepped into Spaceship Number Two.
Was this Jiang Li's bad taste, or did he have special feelings for death?
This was because the spaceship was densely packed with space capsules. All of them were in the shape of transparent coffins.
There were thousands of coffins, and in each coffin lay a person.
Even Shen Lang didn't have so many relatives. There were even some people that Shen Lang didn't know.
This was because Jiang Li had locked everyone who was related to Shen Lang into a coffin and sealed them in ice. Not to mention people like Zhang Chong and Ning Zheng, there was no need to mention Jami-jun and Kaneki Satoshi. Even the former Xuan City Lord, Liu Wuyan, was forced into the coffin. He truly did not spare a single one of them!
All of Shen Lang's relatives were here. Shen Ye, Bing 'er, Zhang Chunhua, Ning Yan, Shen Li, Ning Yuanxian, Concubine Bian, and so on.
Jin Mucong, Jin Zhuo, Su Peipei, King Chu, King Wu, and even Zhong Shishi's entire family were here.
Next, Shen Lang had to make an insignificant but meaningful decision. Who would he wake up first?
He chose his son, Shen Ye, who was also his successor.
The second person he woke up was Ning Yuanxian.
The third person he woke up was his sister, Queen Helen.
Next, Shen Lang woke up all of his relatives, and even those who were related to Shen Lang. Thousands of people who were imprisoned in ice coffins.
The excitement of reunion, the joy of reunion.
Just one stroke!
Of course, in the second spaceship, Shen Lang still couldn't find the person he wanted to see the most, his wife, Jin Mulan.
She wasn't here.
… …
All of Shen Lang's family returned to Nujing, to Paradise Manor.
"I didn't suffer, I didn't suffer at all."
"After I was caught, I just lay down and slept. When I woke up, I saw you."
"Thirty-eight years have passed? But to me, it's like only one night has passed. I didn't feel guilty at all. "
Paradise Manor, in the pavilion at the top of the mountain.
Ning Yuanxian sat in a wheelchair, greedily looking at the entire Nujing City.
She was truly beautiful to the extreme.
It was a city full of dreams. It was hard to imagine how such a city could appear in the human world.
It really felt like a dream of a thousand years, and the world had changed.
In the past, Ning Yuanxian had suffered a great sin. It was less than three years after Shen Lang left for the western world. He had pretended to be a fool for three years and had experienced countless sufferings. What tormented him even more was the exhaustion of his heart. That kind of feeling was always accompanied by despair and worry.
Before the upheaval in the North Pole.
Ning Yuanxian once again suffered an unprecedented blow.
His idol, Jiang Li, was destroyed.
From a radiant and low-key sun, he became the king of darkness who destroyed the world. He became the biggest culprit.
At that moment, Ning Yuanxian almost couldn't hold on anymore.
But he still found a new pillar. He quietly waited in Paradise Manor in Fury Tide City, waiting for Shen Lang to come back.
Of course, he didn't succeed in the end because he was also captured.
But just as he had said, even though he had been imprisoned for 38 years, he did not suffer at all.
It felt like thirty-eight years had passed when he woke up.
"I'm very glad that I don't have to face him," Ning Yuanxian said. He was, of course, talking about Jiang Li.
"At least you don't have to witness the destruction of an idol," Ning Yuanxian said. "But what about this? It feels like you don't have to participate in it. It feels like you have already won when you wake up. It's unfair to you. We can't feel what you have experienced. It feels like the fruit of victory is waiting for you with your eyes closed. So, it feels a little empty. "
Shen Lang understood this feeling.
It was like fighting a boss in a game. One had to go through all kinds of difficulties before he finally succeeded. Only then could he have a sense of accomplishment.
The feeling of waking up and winning while lying down was too boring.
However, Ning Yuanxian didn't need to go through this anymore. He was already old.
"Father-in-law, I can cure your Parkinson disease now," Shen Lang said. "I can help you walk and move normally now."
Ning Yuanxian shook his head and said, "No, don't cure me! Just let me feel the tremor so that I can feel the preciousness of life and the beauty of the world. Don't cure me. "
Then, Ning Yuanxian said, "I don't need to walk anymore. I only need a pair of eyes to witness the changes in the world and countless miracles. I will be a pair of eyes."
Shen Lang sighed inwardly. Maybe … it's better this way.
The Capital of Fury was so beautiful that Ning Yuanxian's eyes seemed to have been washed.
After a long while, he reluctantly looked away and said, "Lang 'er, you are leaving again, right?"
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Yes."
He couldn't stay at home for long because he had to return to the North Pole Throne to control countless Hell Crystals and gradually release the energy he had devoured to restore the vitality of the entire planet.
In the next few decades, he would sit on the North Pole Throne motionlessly.
Of course, many people could go to the North Pole to see him.
For example, Gregory and Grand Secretary Twain.
Because Shen Lang needed to gradually pass on the Ultimate Dragon's understanding of time and space to them in a way that humans could grasp.
He wasn't Jiang Li. He wouldn't do everything alone.
To save the world, he didn't just need to rely on him. He also needed to rely on all humans.
Of course, before that, Shen Lang had to finish everything. To be more precise, he had to finish everything that needed to be done.
… …
Crown Prince Shen Ye knelt in front of Shen Lang.
Because he was sealed in ice all year round, he looked as young as he was thirty years ago. In fact, he even looked too young. He looked like a teenager.
"Dad …"
"I have a very uncomfortable feeling."
"I feel dizzy and like I'm dreaming …"
Shen Lang understood this feeling. Should this be called space-time dizziness?
It was like a person sitting in a train. The train seemed to be completely still, but the train kept moving forward. Unknowingly, the train had traveled thousands of miles, but the train didn't have windows, so you couldn't feel it moving at all.
At this moment, Shen Ye was a little scared and empty.
Because he didn't participate in anything that happened in the past thirty years.
Shen Lang stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "So the situation you're going to face is going to be even more difficult. Because I'm going to hand over the entire empire to you. From this afternoon onwards, you're going to wield the power of the empire. I'm going to let go of everything and hand over all the internal and external affairs to you. After this, I'm only going to do one thing, the most important thing. "
Shen Ye's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.
He had just woken up, and he was going to wield the power of the entire world? And the entire world had changed drastically.
"Feeling fear?" Shen Lang: "That's right. Knowing fear is the best start. This way, you won't do too badly."
Shen Ye suddenly said, "Father, where's mom? Why don't I see her? "
After being sealed in ice for more than thirty years, the first thing Shen Ye missed the most was his father and mother.
Shen Lang sighed. "Your mom went to a completely unexpected place."
Shen Ye trembled. "Then … then will I be able to see her again in this lifetime?"
"In this lifetime? Maybe not very much. " Shen Lang: "But … I can. Next, I'll use all my wisdom and strength, not only to save this world, but also to reunite with your mother. I don't owe this world, but I owe her too much. After finishing the things here, I'll spend the rest of my life with her to make up for her happiness. "
Shen Ye was fine. At least he had spent a few years with his mother. But Jin Zhuo and Su Peipei had always been separated from their daughter, Jin Mulan.
From now on, at least the two of them wouldn't have the chance to see Mulan.
