Chapter 28 Wormhole
Upon seeing the saucer-shaped spaceship ahead disappear, they entered the dark blue triangular spaceship that had arrived from behind.
"Tsk." A cosmic human in a mottled, tanned steel suit, with a massive, rock-like head, shrugged in frustration as he reported in a muffled voice to the tall figure behind him, "Sir, the target has left the dark universe. Should we give chase?"
"Forget it, at this speed, it's hard to catch them anyway." A powerful cosmic being with a spiraled silver horn on his forehead and a tall, golden werewolf head rested his chin on his hand, his sharp nails scratching his cheek, his narrowed eyes ruthless and cold. "They're lucky. I'll let them go. It's a pity my old D-class spaceship was damaged in the battle in the Fire Mang Galaxy and is still under repair. Otherwise, they wouldn't have escaped so easily this time."
This spaceship wasn't intentionally hunting here; it just happened to be passing by and spotted a nearby C6-class spaceship before coming over.
......
In the vast cosmos, a rock-gray saucer-shaped spaceship is flying at high speed through a wide asteroid belt, its light streaking across the sky.
It can reduce the risk of being detected in complex environments.
Looking at the screen in the control room, Suk relaxed slightly and turned to the others with a smile: "Alright, everyone, don't be so tense. We're out of danger now. The weakness of this C6-class spaceship is that it takes a long time to accelerate, it decelerates slowly, and it's slow at dodging... but once it accelerates, its flight speed is still very fast. Reaching sub-light speed and flying through asteroid belts is very easy."
The others also relaxed, and the heavy and tense atmosphere in the control room was relieved.
Su Kai said to his wife with emotion, "We've traveled through space in spaceships for so many years, but none of those years have been as nerve-wracking as this one."
"How can that be the same? Our company's Class A spaceship won't be hunted down by a cosmic-level enemy," Alice joked.
How poor and bored would a cosmic-level being have to be to hunt down an A-class spaceship?
After the danger was over, everyone went back to rest.
Su Kai and his wife walked together.
"Sigh, I feel like my son is under a lot of pressure," Alice suddenly sighed.
"He's grown up too. Sooner or later he'll have to go through this process and experience the trials of life to grow." Su Kai was quite philosophical about it.
"What a pity, all those old friends we met on Moon River Star..." Alice said with a hint of melancholy.
After leaving Moon River Star, Su Kai and Alice's former friends and acquaintances contacted them through the virtual universe, subtly inquiring about their situation. Upon realizing this, Su Kai and his wife decisively severed all ties with those people.
Whether they were forced by the Blood Spring Society or came to investigate out of greed, Su Kai and his wife were unwilling to believe those people anymore.
People’s hearts are unpredictable!
In fact, Eloi and her daughter, as well as Saki and his family, also encountered similar situations. However, they were not fools and had been warned in advance, so none of them revealed any information about their situation to others.
Suk did remember that the purple-haired girl that Saki had once pursued died in the Blood Spring Society's attack on the Crescent Moon Restaurant that day, but he kept it a secret and let his brother forget about this fruitless relationship, since Saki had never succeeded anyway.
Even after witnessing the tragic annihilation of those adventurers, Saki still couldn't forget his desire to become an adventurer; it's unclear where his obsession came from.
As for his other best friend, Eloi, she's been acting strangely lately. She doesn't seem to talk much, and their interactions are colder than before. Suk didn't think much of it; he couldn't understand a young girl's feelings anyway. Maybe she's still grieving the loss of her uncle. On the other hand, her mature and beautiful mother, who is almost a carbon copy of him, is very warm towards Suk.
The spacecraft's central control room.
Suk is asking the intelligent computer for their current location coordinates.
"Master, we are now in the Zhaiyu Galaxy, 51.3 light-years away from the Philo Galaxy." A virtual star map appeared in front of Suk and quickly expanded, with a bright, flashing dot on it indicating Suk and his group's location.
Suk carefully examined the star map. "This location seems quite remote and desolate..."
"Yes, Master," the AI replied. "The Zhaiyu Galaxy has a diameter of 28.45 light-years, ranking among the top in the tens of thousands of star systems in the Jialan Empire. Our location is in a notoriously desolate region of the Zhaiyu Galaxy, where it's said that there are very few life-bearing planets within tens of thousands of light-years, and the void in the middle has yet to be found. According to information retrieval, it seems to be related to a massive catastrophe in ancient times, which destroyed countless planets and resulted in very few life-bearing planets being born afterward. However, although there are many speculations about the catastrophe, it cannot yet be confirmed whether it was man-made or formed naturally."
They had just entered this galaxy and even if they flew at full speed from the dark universe, it would take at least a week to cross out of it.
Suk realized, "So, this part of the night sky is quite dangerous?"
"According to the star map, there is some danger, but the risk score is not high. It's just that it's too desolate and has no value for exploration and development, so there are very few spaceships coming here."
This kind of place is like a godforsaken place. Even if there are life-bearing planets, they are far apart and communication is difficult. Life-bearing planets are also very cheap.
Suk nodded. He had also traveled through the dark universe to get here; otherwise, why would he have stopped?
Looking at the star map and pondering, I realized that if I were to travel in the original universe, even at near-light speed, it would take tens of millions of years to equal one year in the dark universe.
Moreover, given the notoriously desolate, remote, and vast starry environment here, it's no joke that one life-bearing planet is tens of thousands of light-years away from another. Even if you travel at sub-light speed, you wouldn't be able to reach another planet even after your stellar lifespan is exhausted! And there simply isn't enough energy to power a spaceship that far.
Suk's spaceship stored a large amount of C-class energy crystals, but it couldn't sustain it for tens of thousands of years.
But if he were to enter the dark universe now, he might encounter that ill-intentioned space pirate ship from before, which would be like walking into a trap. Suk didn't want to take the risk.
Of course, since the spaceship didn't chase after us when we traveled back, it probably gave up.
"Let's keep flying, let's fly for a few more days," Suk decided.
Thus, the C6-class spaceship continued its journey through the unfamiliar cosmos.
Just four days later, the spacecraft made another major new discovery.
"Master, Master." Suk, who was cultivating, was hurriedly called out again, but this time only he and a few other star-level beings came to the control room.
"What's wrong now?" Suk asked, a little frightened.
"Master!" the girl-shaped AI exclaimed excitedly, its tail flapping like a fan. "A natural wormhole has been discovered at the edge of the asteroid belt ahead."
