Chapter 1368 Anomaly of the Universe
(2)
Shen Huang moved his fingers to magnify the picture. A terrifying scene was imdiately displayed.
There were many planets in that place. However, their surfaces seed to have rotten for so reason. All plants and buildings were half-lted, as if soaked in powerful acids.
Furthermore, those planets were arranged in a helical shape, with a hole at the center.
Su Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at his master. “What’s this?”
“There’s also this.”
Shen Huang displayed another picture, where a gigantic arm was floating in the void. However, upon closer look, it could be seen that one end of the arm was connected to a corpse. It seed that the arm was reaching out sowhere beyond the universe.
Shen Huang quickly snapped his fingers, displaying picture after picture. There were strange vines in space, piercing through and taking root in those planets, turning them into massive vases.
There were also plenty of dead and cold dragons floating in space. It was quite weird.
“The Celestials of all the star zones have moved there. To prevent leaving any innocent civilians behind, I organized an investigation group to comb through the abandoned planets. They didn’t find anything at first. However, they started noticing those weird things in the past year.”
Shen Huang added in a gloomy tone, “Right now, almost all the population of the universe is now gathered here. Ninety percent of the universe is currently desolate and uninhabited.
“Do you rember the rging of the universe I ntioned earlier?”
......
Su Ping couldn’t help but look at the pictures. “Master, are you saying that the universe is rging and those things were squeezed out of the deep spaces of the universe?”
“That is correct.”
Shen Huang said solemnly, “Such a rger was not a problem we had to solve imdiately. After all, based on our observations, it was happening at a very slow rate; it could take at least ten thousand years before we had to take action. Our greatest concern was the worm tide…
“However, sothing seems to have happened. The rging has been significantly accelerated!”
He looked at Su Ping and continued, “I asked Kayafollet to sneak into other star zones and investigate this. So far, it’s reached the sixth space!
“It has even reached the seventh space in so areas!
“The detector she took with her showed that the rging is moving fast and is fluctuating a lot. It is highly abnormal. According to the specialists, the rging will be complete in five to ten years!”
Su Ping frowned and asked, “Have they found out the reason?”
The man sighed and shook his head. “Not yet. However, I suspect that so sort of power is pushing this change; it could be the alien hidden among the worms. But there’s also another possibility. Our universe might have received so stimulation and accelerated the transformation on its own. As you said, every universe has wisdom; maybe the universe we’re living in is intelligent too!”
Su Ping’s eyes glittered. “In other words, it has decided to do this because of so sort of threat? To protect itself?”
“It’s possible.”
Shen Huang said, “It’s probably because of the worms rampaging as of late. But that’s not a good thing for us; people like us will be fine once the universe is completely rged, but the ordinary folk won’t have a chance to live peacefully anymore. Many planets will change fundantally, and so will the overall environnt of the universe. By then, even Ascendant cultivators will have to struggle in order to live.
“We had originally planned to build a shelter before the rging of the universe was completed. It would be called the New Land.
“There would be similar shelters in all of the twelve star zones. Now that the worms are here, the New Lands in the other star zones have already been abandoned. The New Land in the Golden Star Zone has also been left aside because we’re too busy dealing with the worms. Right now, even if we work at full speed, there won’t be enough ti.”
Su Ping beca grave. “If there’s no ti, we’ll have to send those people into our small universes.”
.
Shen Huang said with a bitter smile, “That’s the only solution. However, based on my calculations, even if all the Celestials and the Ascendant cultivators empty their small universes and worlds to accommodate them, there won’t be enough room for all the population of the universe. There’s barely enough room for half. A lot of people will be sacrificed…”
His expression showed sadness. “Such catastrophe is unavoidable. Ever since ancient tis, there have always been casualties in disasters like these. We can only strive to save as many as possible.”
“Only half…” Su Ping mumbled. Did it an that the other half would be squeezed and killed during the rger? He thought that the worm tide was tricky enough. He didn’t expect that the accelerated rging of the universe would be a greater disaster.
After a mont of silence, Su Ping said to his master, “I will think of a way.”
Stunned, Shen Huang couldn’t help but look at Su Ping. “What way do you have?”
“If necessary, I will ask my employees to help.” Su Ping thought of a solution. “It should be possible to accommodate the other half, if there are several dozen more Celestials.”
“Several dozen Celestial State experts?”
Shen Huang was quite taken aback by Su Ping’s proposal. He knew there was a Celestial State blonde in Su Ping’s store. Had his disciple kept more Celestials hidden?
Su Ping, however, was considering how to address the imminent problem. Judging from the current situation, he would have to hire more Celestial State employees from the cultivation sites.
Shen Huang interpreted the silence; Su Ping wouldn’t say anything unless he was certain. The forr thought for a mont and said, “It would be great if that problem can be addressed, but there are other troubles.”
“Huh?”
Su Ping looked at his master.
“After the rging is finalized, not only will it be impossible for ordinary people to live, there will also be a resurgence of hidden existences left between the layers of the universe, as well as the power fragnts from ancient tis. The entire universe will very likely beco a jungle. Even people like us will have to struggle to survive…” Shen Huang said with utmost concern.
Su Ping felt dazed for a mont. The outlook gave him a chill as he looked at the floating pictures and the terrifying scenes.
He had encountered a lot of dangers when he tore through deep spaces. He also saw the terrifying beasts living in deep spaces; they would definitely be released in the outer world after the rger.
Furthermore, ancient bodies like the War Emperor’s would probably appear too.
Even as corpses, they were determined to fulfill their duties.
So of those were probably different; maybe they beca the cradle of terrifying existences.
“When it rains, it pours…” Su Ping was sullen. He felt terrible about his lack of strength. If he were an Ancestral God… He would probably be able to easily take care of everything
“Are there any updates about the alien among the worm tides?” asked Su Ping.
That alien was a source for deep concern. After all, it was probably one of the Heavens, a race that even the Golden Crow ancestor chose to hide from.
“No, it looks like it’s gone, but nobody dares to go and confirm it. Only Celestials attract that thing’s attention when they take action…” Shen Huang shook his head.
After a mont of silence, Su Ping said, “In any case, I want to know the mont anything happens. That alien is unimaginably dangerous.”
Seeing how serious Su Ping was, Shen Huang nodded. “Certainly.”
“Right, if the universe is rging, how’s the situation in our area?” asked Su Ping.
Shen Huang replied, “That is one of the weird things I wanted to talk to you about. All the areas we’ve found in the process of rging are in the desolate, unoccupied areas; ruins, essentially. So far, this part of the universe is relatively stable; there’s no sign of any rging.”
He looked at Su Ping and added, “If the universe is intelligent, do you think it’s aware of us and is avoiding us on purpose?”
Su Ping was dazed. If that was the case, the possibility was truly there.
Once I condense a Dao Heart, maybe I’ll be able to perceive the spirit of the universe. If I can communicate with it, maybe I’ll find out about a lot of secrets… Su Ping’s eyes glittered. He was even more eager to condense a Dao Heart.
