By the time the Scorching-Sun Battleship disappeared in the space, the crater on the planet had turned to the side facing away from the permanent star.
The bottom of the crater had no sunlight and was extremely cold to begin with, and the temperature was unimaginably low at the moment.
The gloomy old man opened his eyes slowly and looked at the dark and gloomy space above, a hint of bewilderment and shock showing in his grayish eyes.
Previously, he had sensed an extremely powerful and sharp divine sense, which had a very clear warning within it.
He couldn't figure out how the other party had discovered him, and he couldn't figure out why the other party's sword wills were so powerful even though they had just ascended not long ago.
…
…
The planet was actually very far away from the Scorching-Sun Battleship. Even the imaging system on the battleship couldn't capture a clear image of it.
There was another reason why Jing Jiu could see the crater.
His gaze didn't stay on the crater for too long, because he had more important issues to deal with, like getting an answer from Hua Xi.
Hua Xi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Jing Jiu, asking, "Do you want some tea?"
"I don't have an iron kettle," said Jing Jiu.
Hua Xi curled her lips and said, "You have no idea how much they love you."
It was interesting that Zong Lizi and Ran Handong did put the iron kettle into their backpacks when they packed their luggage. It was why the little girl had such a hard time carrying it.
The iron kettle was placed on the electromagnetic plate, and the clear water was poured into it, waiting to be boiled. A few green tea leaves were placed on the ceramic plate in Silence.
Jing Jiu looked at her in Silence.
Hua Xi was a young mistress of an aristocratic family on the Stargate Base and a distant relative of the Hua family on the Main Planet. She was a talented young woman, and her talent was quite good in the eyes of the human society. When she participated in the selection of the priest of the Stargate, she was liked by many people on TV, because she was naïve and adorable, with a kind of naïve and clumsy attitude. If he were to take her to the amusement park to play or to make a bed with her, this little girl would be a good choice. However, Jing Jiu was going to the Sea of Dark Matter this time, and the journey might be dangerous; why would he bring her along?
The sound of water in the iron kettle grew louder, and the room grew quieter.
Hua Xi asked in a low voice, "How did you know someone was there?"
Jing Jiu said, "That person's Cultivation state is very high. His killing intent was suddenly released, and I felt it."
Hua Xi didn't understand and said, "I've only seen killing intent in novels. Is it real? Is that a kind of information wave or a particle current? "
Jing Jiu said, "I think it's the observer effect."
Hua Xi curled her lips and said, "It's not fair to explain the story of the macroscopic world with quantum physics."
Jing Jiu said, "Then there is no explanation."
Hua Xi raised her head, looked into his eyes, and asked seriously, "Since you know he's there and he wants to kill you, why don't you kill him?"
Regardless of whether it was the warship or the Reverend Chi Song, or the building of the Military Department or Shen Yunmai, all of them proved that Jing Jiu was a man who appeared calm but was actually extremely crazy.
In order to ensure his safety, when he felt danger, he would definitely counterattack immediately, no matter who the other party was, no matter what the situation was at that time.
Jing Jiu said, "You said that murder is against the law."
The extremely cold and "hard" killing intent clearly indicated the identity of the swordsman at the bottom of the circular mountain.
It had been nine thousand years since the stone man on Mount Chenwu attained the Dao and ascended.
That person had a very high Cultivation state, and his killing intent was natural. The cultivation method he practiced was also very special, which made him more powerful in the extremely cold space.
But that person's head was made of stone, and he was slow and clumsy; so he couldn't pose a threat to Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu sensed his killing intent, and warned him not to follow him. It was because he found it troublesome, and he didn't want the Scorching-Sun Battleship to meet with any mishap.
Of course, if Hua Xi was willing to help him, he wouldn't mind killing this person.
Hearing his answer, Hua Xi felt it was rather childish, pouting.
It was then that the water in the iron kettle boiled. She picked up a few tea leaves and threw them into the kettle.
The steam rose up.
A few leaves were bobbing up and down on the surface of the water. The steam was occasionally dispersed by the wind, exposing the eaves, the stone statue, and a well-trimmed short plank.
Kneeling on the futon opposite the hot spring, Ran Donglou said in a low voice, "General Li should be Jing Jiu's division commander. We shouldn't have high hopes for him."
The cool breeze passing through the forest blew away more of the fog, gently ruffling the bathrobe with embroidered flowers and her neat black bangs.
The young priest raised the porcelain cup with two fingers and brought it to her lips. She drank up the strong wine in the cup slowly and sighed delightfully, saying, "He is a cocoon breaker after all."
Ran Donglou lowered his head and said, "The cocoon breakers are indeed powerful, but if you … ignore the rules, we can still try to kill them all."
The young girl put down the porcelain cup in her hand and looked at the fog above the hot spring, her eyes somewhat vacant, saying, "I didn't set the rules, so how can I ignore them?"
Ran Donglou lowered his head even more, and so did his voice, saying, "God … has been dead for many years."
The young girl's eyes gradually focused and became extremely cold, saying, "The rules weren't set by him, so what's the use of his death? You're dismissed. "
Ran Donglou didn't dare stay any longer. He got up from the futon and backed out of the courtyard slowly with his body hunched.
The wind stopped blowing. The hot fog of the hot spring grew thicker, flowing everywhere like milk.
Looking at the sky, the young girl pouted and remarked in a bored manner, "You've guessed it so quickly. It's really boring."
…
…
In the days that followed, Jing Jiu lay in the chair and looked at the scenery of the universe outside the window, neither sleeping nor speaking.
He didn't mention anything about killing people or cloning people to Hua Xi anymore.
One day, the ring on his finger emitted a faint glow.
His awareness entered the interplanetary network and arrived at the deep end of the hidden network, sitting in the room on the sky wheel.
Sitting in the chair, Ran Handong sent a few pieces of data to Jing Jiu, saying, "Among the thirty-seven targets under surveillance, nothing special has happened. The person in the space station of the Science Academy left last night; his destination might be the same as yours. The other person is in your fleet."
Jing Jiu backed out of the interplanetary network after copying the data.
The ascendant from the space station of the Science Academy should be the seventh house master of Yimaozhai, Zeng Ju.
His line of sight fell on a distant corner of the universe outside the window.
The battleship looked like a small wooden stick in the vast universe.
It was unclear who the ascendant hiding on the battleship was, but he shouldn't be someone from Zhongzhou School.
Based on the style of the Grandmaster and General Li, the ascendants from Cloud-Dream Mountain would have been killed by them a long time ago.
The stone man from Chen Wu Mountain was intimidated by Jing Jiu and didn't follow him.
By the time he arrived at the Sea of Dark Matter, he would have to deal with the ascendant, Zeng Ju, Shen Yunmai, and General Li at the same time.
All of a sudden, the small wooden stick in the distance was ablaze.
In the next moment, the stars in the dark universe grew dimmer.
Tens of thousands of burning flying swords were traveling in the distant sky. They were tens of thousands of battleships.
They were the largest and most powerful star-core fleet.
Jing Jiu had witnessed such a spectacular scene from a distance many years ago when he ascended for the first time.
He had finally seen it again that day.
Jing Jiu stood up and walked to the front of the window. He looked at those battleships in Silence, his expression grave.
It was not fear, but respect.
After the fall of the distant ancient civilization, the human society had embarked on two different paths according to the arrangement of that god.
If Jing Jiu represented the highest peak of the path in Chaotian, this magnificent fleet of battleships represented the highest peak of the interplanetary civilization.
Tens of thousands of battleships combined could easily destroy the union of dozens of planetary systems and travel unhindered in this part of the universe.
The foundation of the human civilization had moved from the surface of the planet to the space.
With these battleships, there was no need to worry about what the important figures and officials of the Federation of the Milky Way were thinking.
As such, the true leader of the Federation of the Milky Way was General Li.
It was the ascendants who controlled this civilization.
"Do you think it's spectacular?" Hua Xi asked Jing Jiu as she walked to his side.
Jing Jiu uttered "hmm".
Hua Xi went on with a faint smile, "You haven't seen it before, have you?"
"Yes, I have," replied Jing Jiu.
Hua Xi felt surprised.
Jing Jiu said, "You should have read that book, so you should understand what I mean."
Hua Xi looked at him with wide eyes and asked confusedly, "Sometimes, I really don't understand what you are thinking about. Do you really come here just to enjoy the scenery?"
"Back then, I thought I saw tens of thousands of burning flying swords, and those sword currents could wipe out a civilization easily. But now I know it's not real."
After a moment of silence, Jing Jiu continued, "We have been cultivating for a great many years, and all we want is to ascend. But now we find that it's not real."
"Do you have a feeling of unreality?" asked Hua Xi.
Jing Jiu said, "It's indeed unreality, but it's also interesting."
"Do you like this world?" asked Hua Xi.
Jing Jiu said, "There is a large universe here, with countless real stars and seemingly endless fairy energy; but … I still don't like it."
Hua Xi asked after some thought, "Is it because there is no one you like? Do you still miss that world? "
"No," said Jing Jiu. "It's because this world has an end according to the current rules of physics."
The universe would perish in the end.
Everything had an end.
It was the same for existence.
A similar conversation had taken place by the hot spring.
Shen Yunmai cried bitterly by the hot spring for the same reason when he was a child.
A shrill alarm suddenly rang out on the Scorching-Sun Battleship.
Hua Xi looked out of the window.
Jing Jiu turned around and went somewhere.
It didn't take long for the alarm to die down, replaced by the sound of zither.
In the human society of the Interstellar Era, it was rare to hear such ancient and flowing zither music.
The officers and men on the battleship came to the window and looked out along the sound of the zither.
An ancient zither was floating in the dark universe.
Shen Yunmai sat cross-legged behind the zither, plucking the strings with his fingers. His white robe reflected the distant starlight, looking like a fairy man.
There was no air in the universe; so how could the zither sound be heard?
It was unclear why the starlight moved, but Jing Jiu showed up in front of the zither.
Wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, he looked like an ordinary youth, but he immediately stole all the splendor from his opponent.
