Chapter 225: White Paper
The Rule remnant artifact was a balance scale. It looked ordinary. If it was not for the Rule Power flowing on it, Wei Huo would have thought that it was a balance scale.
Wei Huo held it in his hand and felt the power inside. The surface of the scale was covered in cracks, and the power inside it was severely lost.
Wei Huo studied it carefully and realized that the only rule in the scale was the Rule of Force.
With this scale, one could first control the gravitational force but could barely control it. Other forces would not work, as this was a broken Rule remnant artifact. There was a limit to the number of times it could be used. Once the Rule Power within it disappeared, it would be useless.
Wei Huo put away the scale. Although it was a Rule remnant artifact, it was extremely powerful.
Zero had not used the broken remnant artifact even when he had died. He had planned to use his own strength to keep the broken remnant artifact and its knowledge.
Wei Huo understood his line of thought.
His body and Dao could not be eliminated. Even if he died, he had to leave his Dao behind so that his descendants could continue walking down this path. He had to progress further on his own foundation and strive to reach the end to obtain the Dao Fruit.
History was always shockingly similar. Even though Zero had never heard of the parable about the foolish old man who tried to move a mountain, he still tried to do something similar when he was about to die. He wanted to leave something for his descendants to help them improve.
At the same time, Zero had another purpose. If time really flowed in a circle, he might have a chance to inherit everything from his previous life. He had only left everything to Wei Huo, including the broken remnant artifact, because he had hoped that Wei Huo could return the knowledge to Zero if he encountered his reincarnation in the future.
Wei Huo understood everything and opened his eyes. At that moment, the pit under his feet was completely buried by the sand.
Zero had died. The robots on this planet had escaped this calamity, but in reality, most robots did not know what had happened.
Wei Huo led his team to the most developed empire on the planet, the AWM Nation. He borrowed their ship and flew into the starry sky.
The old robot did not leave. It stayed, planning to travel around the world and walk its own path.
That was why only Wei Huo, the girl, and the golden armor were on their way.
Wei Huo sighed. “Even if I reach the Legendary stage, I still can’t travel to space alone. Space is indeed mysterious and powerful!”
The golden armor agreed. “The deep universe is indeed mysterious and dangerous. I’m afraid you can’t travel alone in the universe unless you’re a God. Unfortunately, this starry sky is a fake void.”
The starry sky that Wei Huo and the others were heading to was a fake void. It was only a small world. It was not big. If one kept flying into the sky, one would reach the seventh level after overcoming the planet’s gravitational force and rushing out of the atmosphere.
However, once they reached this critical point, the spacecraft would explode. That was why the robots on this planet did not understand why they could never fly out of the atmosphere. No matter how advanced their technology was, they could not leave this small world unless a Legendary creature was born.
That was the rule.
The ship exploded at that critical point, but it was only a few hundred meters away from the world boundary of the seventh level. Wei Huo and the others left the ship and flew toward the boundary.
The air was so thin that it could barely be used. Countless cosmic rays shot over, followed by low temperature and an environment close to a vacuum.
In a vacuum-like environment, even Legendary creatures could not last long. They were like a group of people jumping off a ship because the ship had exploded. They could swim to the shore if they risked their lives, but if they could not swim, they could only die there.
Although Legendary creatures were powerful, it was impossible for them to travel in the universe. They could at most survive for a short time after an explosion, but they would still die after their spirit deteriorated.
Using a ship to sail to a neighboring country was the most appropriate analogy. If a ship were to get into trouble, without a lifeboat or a lifebuoy, those who could not swim would basically die. Those who could swim could only struggle, but they would eventually die of exhaustion. Only strong people who could survive underwater could survive.
Wei Huo and the others could not speak but could transmit their thoughts.
However, no one used their Divine Sense to transmit their voice. They were all rushing toward the seventh level, but their speed was really a teary sight to behold.
Legendary-level creatures could fly because they could control the air. They could fly freely like Liezi, who rode the wind and pursued his path, in Zhuangzi’s book, Free and Easy Wandering. The only prerequisite was that there was air.
However, the air there was thin, and it was difficult to fly by controlling it. He could only use his domain and exert a reaction force to push himself forward. However, this required a huge amount of mental strength.
He felt just like a boatman who jumped into the sea and swam toward the shore with all his might. However, one could not swim faster than one could run on land.
Fortunately, they were only a few hundred meters away from the seventh level. They could still fly over. A few hundred meters was really not that long. After all, the distance was measured in light-years.
However, as they continued moving forward, various rays from the universe hit their bodies. The low temperature and the vacuum-like environment tortured them.
The golden armor was alright. The materials that made up its body were extraordinary. It was not afraid of the cosmic rays, low temperature, or vacuum.
However, a human’s body could not withstand this. No matter how strong one’s body was, one would still feel uncomfortable in a vacuum. The gas in one’s body would seem like it was about to explode, and it would be difficult to persist.
Fortunately, Wei Huo was no ordinary person. Lightning suddenly appeared all over his body, and a strong thrust surged in his body. His speed increased several times, and he soon flew ahead.
The short-haired girl used some unknown method to follow Wei Huo closely. She stayed close to him at a distance of one to two meters.
Wei Huo was confused. There seemed to be a weird connection between him and the girl. She could teleport to his side without any effort. However, on second thought, he remembered that she had been formed by the imprint in his subconscious. In theory, she was one with him. It was not surprising that she could do that.
At that moment, the golden armor anxiously shouted with its Divine Sense, “Wait for me! Help me out too!”
Wei Huo replied with his Divine Sense, “This is a rare opportunity. You should train yourself.”
It was the first time Wei Huo was using his domain to move forward in the universe. It was very meaningful, just like a person’s first time swimming in the sea, especially for someone who might travel around the galaxy in the future.
The golden armor stopped sending thoughts over. It had to conserve its strength. There was still over 100 meters left!
Wei Huo’s speed fluctuated, but the short-haired girl was still following him closely. Wei Huo stopped his experiment. The short-haired girl had some kind of connection to him. She could teleport near him without being restricted by time.
Wei Huo had always wanted to give the short-haired girl a name, but he did not know what to do. She was a person created by his subconscious, so he wanted to just call her Xiao Qian. However, Wei Huo did not say this out loud.
As soon as he had this thought, the short-haired girl lifted her head and looked at Wei Huo for the first time. Her cold eyes were colored.
Wei Huo then realized that the short-haired girl’s heart was still a blank piece of paper. It was no wonder she was expressionless and silent.
Wei Huo reached out to touch the girl’s head, but she dodged.
Color began to appear on the paper. She was becoming more and more human.
