Chapter 2604: You Were Once My Dream Too
How could a giant divine soldier that was normally cleaved open bleed? And it also had self-sealing and unsealing functions?
Jiangnan and the others had all seen the structure of the Nine-Eyed Celestial Venerable, but this progenitor machine was completely different!
What exactly was the main body of this thing?
Perhaps that's why it couldn't be replicated?
The battle on both sides grew increasingly fierce, and the scope of its impact expanded further and further!
At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the entire starry sky were in their throats!
They were no longer excited by this but felt terrified instead!
If this continued, they truly didn't know how to resolve it!
The power of the first and second sequences was evident to all, and their battle could even engulf the entire starry sky!
Using this as a fuse to trigger a full-scale melee across the starry sky was not impossible, and the Thousand Stars War might very well break out because of this!
When that time came, what was the point of fighting the Sequence War?
Let's get serious!
Could it be that the "peace" that had lasted for 2.2 billion years in the Thousand Stars Era was about to end?
If that situation really descended, no race beneath the starry sky could remain untouched!
Even Jiangnan's expression turned grave!
The direction of the war between the two races would directly determine the future direction of the starry sky's situation!
Once war began, humanity's development plans might also have to be shelved because of this!
Peace was such a fragile thing, like a flower in a greenhouse, needing careful maintenance…
But now that the fighting had reached this point, neither race showed any intention of stopping!
……
Within the Guangke Star Domain, it was now completely shrouded in war flames and smoke, with an unending haze!
Qian Li was still leading the five Star Devourers in a fierce assault on the Guangke Star Domain!
The silicon-based race couldn't stop it; the four-dimensional divine shadow remained invincible!
But now, their horn communication had been overwhelmed, and of course, they knew the situation in the Bose Star Domain!
The silicon-based race was ruthless enough!
Silicon Lord said calmly:
[┐￢_￢┌] "What? Not going to defend? The situation in the Bose Star Domain isn't looking good!"
"You came with six; we went with twelve. We only have twice as many as you do!"
Qian Li narrowed his eyes, his expression abnormally dark: "Defend? What? You want to move the Star Devourer battlefield to my Bose Star Domain? Wouldn't that be playing right into your hands?"
"With this effort, wouldn't it be better to cause more damage to the Guangke Star Domain? Twelve giant divine soldiers? It is indeed beyond my expectations. It seems your silicon-based race has also kept quite a bit of your reserves…"
"But what can you accomplish? Every single member of my Bose race can ascend dimensions, even children learning their first words can do it. How much damage can you inflict on us?"
"At most, it's just a loss of some resources!"
Silicon Lord narrowed his eyes: "And what about you? As long as my silicon-based terminal isn't destroyed, even if the entire Guangke Star Domain is obliterated, our silicon-based warriors will still suffer zero casualties!"
"Only resources are lost…"
"So, do you want to see who reaches their bottom line first on losses?"
Qian Li's forehead veins bulged. The outcome of the war wasn't heading in the direction he had anticipated. The silicon-based race's head was too tough!
If he led his people back to defend, the initiative would fall into the silicon-based race's hands, and then how could he talk about retrieving the Universe Seed?
He had thought the silicon-based race wouldn't tear things up over this with the Bose race, but the Bose race clearly hadn't suppressed the silicon-based race's ambitions!
An arrow shot has no turning back. Once the button for war was pressed, it wasn't so easy to stop!
Qian Li couldn't just give up midway either. If he couldn't get the Universe Seed back, that would be a huge loss!
At this moment, even Yu Gen and Di Chou looked at Qian Li, their faces full of inquiry.
Should they keep fighting?
But Qian Li narrowed his eyes. At this time, whoever showed weakness was the grandson!
"Do you think my Bose race can't afford to fight? This is nothing! We've even fought the Universe War! This is just an appetizer!"
"What are you all stopping for? Keep going, dammit!"
Silicon Lord said calmly: "Then let's continue, as you wish."
Both sides began to go all out in dismantling each other's star domains!
At the same time, at the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang, in the Bose race's Starfall Round Hall, one mechanical wormhole gate after another opened!
The silicon-based race directly launched a multi-point offensive, starting a frenzied destruction of the Bose race's mining areas, various resource points, and industries!
Whether you were from the Bose race or not, if you were in this area, you were killed!
The Bose race was equally unwilling to show weakness, starting to destroy the silicon-based race's mining areas scattered across the starry sky, resource collection points, weapon manufacturing factories, trade associations, star navigation hubs, and all other strategic locations!
The Holy Star and Creation organizations acted together!
The flames of war began to spread elsewhere. Even in the Thousand Stars City, the silicon-based race's stationed stars were destroyed!
And it had already started to involve other races!
Things began to become increasingly uncontrollable…
Now, those who were watching the spectacle couldn't be happy anymore, because the spectacle had come to them!
Even Jiangnan's expression was serious: "If this continues, this Sequence War won't need to be fought, and there's no need for simulations either. The Thousand Stars Era will directly enter a war mode!"
"In this situation, the existence of the Starry Sky Law seems ridiculously laughable!"
What rules about not fighting, peace treaties—when it really came to fighting, who cared about that?
Yang Jian grinned widely: "In this situation, all races are helpless; they can't control the direction of events!"
"No one wants to start a war, but once a war starts, it's like a blazing flame demon, gradually spiraling out of control, engulfing everything, burning, destroying!"
Black God looked calmly at the screen:
"Keep your eyes wide open and watch. Right now, the Thousand Stars Era is on an extremely dangerous red line. One step forward marks the beginning of a starry sky war!"
"One step back can maintain that fragile peace. Perhaps today, you and I will witness history…"
At this moment, everyone became nervous!
Zhang San scratched his head, his face full of guilt.
(•́ω•̀٥)୨
This… this shouldn't be my fault, right?
It was them who wanted to fight, not me who told them to!
……
The war in the Bose Star Domain continued. Most of the Bose race's people ascended dimensions to take cover, some went out to fight, and others remained at their posts!
But the star domain was still quite chaotic!
And the area where the Eternal Star was located was the most core protected region, not yet affected by the war flames!
But one could still see the giant divine soldiers, massive in size, rampaging endlessly, like gods of destruction annihilating everything!
Several of them were already moving this way!
The defense forces here also began to charge onto the battlefield. On the star, there were shouts and roars of killing everywhere!
In the Eternal Holy Spring below the Eternal Ancient Hall…
Wuzui was still locked here by the Universe Crystal Source, looking aged, his body full of Void Nails!
His eyes were hollow and vacant, staring at the water's surface, motionless, exuding no aura, as if dead…
But even so, this place was still heavily guarded!
Even though this place was inside the star, one could still hear the rumbling outside!
The guards couldn't sit still anymore:
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Damn it! The silicon-based race actually broke in! No way! I want to join the fight! The glory of the Bose race cannot be defiled!"
"Tch! Stop right there! Forgot how Lady Tiffany instructed us? Our mission is to guard the Eternal Holy Spring!"
But other guards hurriedly said: "What's the point of guarding here? Guarding this useless person? Anyway, the Eternal Star can ascend dimensions!"
"The silicon-based race has come to our home, and we're just going to stay here and endure it? You can take it, but I can't!"
The guard captain was also full of resentment: "Tch! Leave two people to guard here! The rest! Follow me to the battlefield!"
The Eternal Holy Spring, once heavily guarded, was now left with only two people!
The two of them were also reluctant, looking at Wuzui with hatred in their eyes!
"If it weren't for this waste messing things up, how would things have developed to this point?"
"Tch! He should have died in the Universe Grand Hunt. At least he would've earned the good name of a racial hero!"
But no matter what they said, Wuzui remained unmoved!
One guard snorted coldly: "What? Pretending not to hear? Quite the tough one! The once lofty Lord Wuzui, why is he so silent now?"
"I want to see how long you can keep up the act!" With that, he picked up a nearby Crystal Source Whip and walked toward Wuzui!
But just as he raised the whip, a half-length Holy Judgment Heavy Sword pierced through his chest. He looked down at his chest in disbelief!
"Have you lost your mind…"
Suddenly, Zong Xu's figure emerged from the void behind: "Thousand Night Hundred Slash! Die!"
The guard was instantly chopped to pieces, not even getting a chance to ascend dimensions. The other guard was also killed by Zong Xu's Heavenly Punishment!
As a member of the Lawkeeper elite and a racial prodigy, even in her extremely weakened state, killing two guards was more than enough!
Zong Xu looked at Wuzui in the Eternal Holy Spring, tears streaming down her face!
This was the first time Zong Xu had seen Wuzui since returning from the Universe Grand Hunt!
She had also been interrogated, held in separate confinement, and even her memories had been checked!
She had been imprisoned all along, but when the silicon-based race broke in and the guard strength weakened, she escaped and came straight here!
"Damn beasts! How could they do this to you, Brother Wuzui? I'm here to save you!"
As she spoke, she drew her sword and cut the Universe Crystal Source chains, pulling Wuzui out of the Eternal Holy Spring, pulling out the Void Nails one by one, continuously wiping away her tears!
She never imagined that Wuzui, the most dazzling figure in the race, would end up like this!
Wuzui was so weak that he couldn't even lift his hand. His hollow eyes looked at Zong Xu!
His voice hoarse: "What's the point of you coming to save a waste like me… It's over, everything is over…"
"I should have died in that battle, died under Jiangnan's blade… Now I'm just lingering on…"
"Losers have no right to continue moving forward…"
But Zong Xu hugged Wuzui, crying bitterly and shaking her head!
"No! You haven't lost! In my eyes, you'll always be the best, the most amazing Brother Wuzui!"
"Let's go! Escape! Get out of here! You absolutely can't die here!"
But Wuzui shook his head, slowly closing his eyes: "Forget it… I no longer have a dream. Let it end here. Give me a dignified death…"
"Consider it your last gift to me…"
But Zong Xu shook her head, holding Wuzui tightly: "No! I won't! This is too cruel for me!"
"Is this really enough? Don't you have any lingering attachment to this world? Isn't there anything you want to do but haven't finished?"
"If your dream has shattered, then weave a new one!"
"Your dream is shattered, but do you know? You have always been my dream too! Don't die! I don't want you to die! Boohoo—"
"Even if it's for me, please keep going, okay? No matter how pitiful your figure may be, I beg you!"
Wuzui looked blankly at Zong Xu, cold tears dripping down his cheeks!
So… I was once someone else's dream too…
Something he wanted to do but hadn't…
Maybe there was one thing.
"I promise you! I'll go… Leave this place!"
Zong Xu's eyes were full of surprise, nodding heavily!
"That's right! The timing is perfect now. The silicon-based race has broken in, and the Bose Star Domain is busy dealing with it; they don't have time for us. Let's go quickly!"
"I've prepared a lot of Star Source Points for you as travel money, all my savings. I've also forged identities, enough to live for a long time, plus many Universal Star Pearls…"
"After we get out, go to the lawless place in the Beiman Star Domain. It's a three-no zone, you can escape the Sacred Law Council's pursuit, and also…"
But Wuzui interrupted, "You… aren't you coming with me?"
Zong Xu's eyes dimmed: "I…"
Wuzui shook his head: "There's no need to prove anything anymore. You killed people from First Light; staying won't end well for you either…"
"Come with me… Aren't I your dream? Now… I might not be able to walk alone anymore…"
Zong Xu bit her lower lip tightly, tears glistening in her eyes: "I don't care! Then let's go together! To the ends of the earth! Life and death, we'll follow each other!"
The two of them, draped in black robes, rushed out of the Eternal Star. Wuzui was too weak, so weak that moving even one step took all his strength!
He could only rely on Zong Xu to support him!
No one noticed the two figures silently leaving!
Wuzui saw the rampaging giant divine soldier legion, and also saw Tian Lv and Liu Ren's counterattack. The entire Bose Star Domain was engulfed in war flames!
Originally, Wuzui should have led the army to fight for his race, but now none of that had anything to do with him!
At the edge of the Bose Star Domain, Wuzui turned back to look at the war-engulfed Bose Star Domain, staring blankly!
Zong Xu asked in confusion: "Brother Wuzui? What's wrong? Did you forget something? Do you want to go back for it?"
Wuzui turned back, slowly closed his eyes, and no longer looked at the Bose Star Domain!
"I did leave something behind here, but there's no need to go back for it anymore…"
With that, he opened his eyes again, looking at the boundless starry sky ahead!
He wanted to see for himself, to see what kind of scenery lay in the places where the light could not reach…
This was the only thing he wanted to do now!
"Let's go… Set off again!"
The two figures, supporting each other, gradually walked away into the distance…
Perhaps when one can no longer walk alone, two people supporting, relying on, and warming each other can go further!
Reaching that distant place one has never been to…
