Chapter 329 - The Beginning of Escape
Chapter 329: The Beginning of Escape
“Huh? Something’s wrong here.” Su Bai glanced at Time Ghost.
Stealing the Origin Amethyst of a world was not too difficult for Su Bai, as long as he let Starry Omnivore Kraken eat all the way.
However, it seemed that the laws of time and darkness were getting stronger and stronger because they were getting closer and closer to the place where the source was. His perception was blocked as a corollary.
“Reporting to Ah Bai: My electromagnetic signal is blocked.”
The ethereal mechanical sound of Planet Eye sounded in his ears.
“Hasi!”
Time Ghost shrugged, saying that it was not clear about this, either.
It had never been to such a place, after all. It was difficult for the ghost to shuttle through, especially since the world source gave it a special pressure.
“Okay, then.”
Su Bai showed a look of helplessness, eyeing the Starry Omnivore Kraken, which was constantly gnawing ahead. “Pipi, you can speed up as much as you can.”
This kind of complete world, particularly a time-sided world, had a very strong repressive force.
Not even Starry Omnivore Kraken could swallow it; it could only gnaw the earth, opening up a passage into the land of origin.
This process might take a week.
If Starry Omnivore Kraken did not contain the law of nothingness and had a part of the Eternally Miraculous Beauty as well as the power of the mermaid Recorder of All Things, its speed might be much slower in the face of this time-sided world.
“Onom!”
It shook its tail and sped up.
As they went deeper into the world, the aura of various laws became more and more intense, and the difficulty increased as well.
However, this was also an opportunity for his pets.
Purple Jade and the others sat on Planet Eye, perceiving the aura of law escaping from the land of origin.
Su Bai was a little anxious, for he had no way to contact the outside world from here. There was no way of knowing the state of things, either. He did not know the situation in the Sea Abyss, which was very troublesome for him.
However, he had no other choice; he could not give up Time Ghost.
Its power was undoubtedly strong. Ultimate Invincible was an absolutely powerful and excellent helper in dealing with those terrifying powerhouses. Hence, it was impossible for him to give up this newly acquired pet of his.
Once out of this time-sided world, its time attribute ability would shine even more.
In the blink of an eye, eight days had passed. A vast void appeared in front of Su Bai and his pets after travelling all this time.
This gray space had billions of streamers flowing. In the center, a large crystal with purple streamer could be seen floating quietly. The slowly rotating stream on the body turned it into nothingness and then reappeared on the same spot after a while.
It exuded a strong breath of time and darkness, which were the dominant laws of this world.
“Howl~” The Origin Crystal here is so big! Purple Jade exclaimed in surprise.
“Roar.” It’s really big! Way bigger than the one we got that time, and its breath is even more terrifying. I feel that if we attack it, we’ll definitely be killed by the law of explosion! Little Tyrant was also stunned.
Last time, in the Abyss Star Territory, they destroyed a dead star and obtained an Origin Crystal, which was just the size of a human head.
Su Bai originally wanted to obtain it by forcibly knocking out the Origin Amethyst.
However, after seeing the size of this Origin Amethyst, he chose to give up this idea.
If he really dared to do that, only an eternal-grade monster could handle the repercussions.
It was worthy of being the Origin Crystal of this time-sided world.
The sufficiency of this source had reached a terrifying level.
“Hasi, hasi!”
Just as Su Bai was thinking of how he could obtain the Origin Amethyst.
Time Ghost flew in front and waved its little claw to indicate that it could solve this conundrum.
The ghost said that it could take away a small piece as long as it had a way to get close to the crystal.
The difficulty was approaching the Origin Amethyst.
“I see.”
He caressed its little head and thought about the proposal before deciding to give it a try.
“Ghost, enter the contract book; I’ll send you close to the crystal.”
This was his decisive method, taking the token of the mermaid Recorder of All Things in his contract book. The level of security in this place was still very high.
Nonetheless, although this world’s core was awesome, compared with the existence of the Recorder of All Things, it was just lacking.
“Hasi!”
Time Ghost nodded, letting him keep it into his contract book.
With his mind control, he let the contract book enter the origin space and fly toward the crystal.
As the contract entered the origin space, the surrounding laws, which originally presented streams of light, suddenly turned into chains of different colors, flying toward the contract book, tying it up, and destroying it.
Just as these chains neared, the statue of the mermaid emitted a pale blue light.
These streams then went away as they ignored the existence of the contract book.
Su Bai’s hanging heart finally relaxed. Sure enough, thanks to the Recorder of All Things, the mermaid’s token and the contract book had undergone further integration. The power of this token was easier to stimulate, and it would automatically protect his contract book.
The contract book came close to the huge crystal at the heart in just a few minutes.
With the contract book beside it, Su Bai realized that the crystal was at least one hundred kilometers in size.
It was indeed worthy of being part of an ancient and powerful world.
He mobilized his book with his mind and released Time Ghost.
Time Ghost flew directly into the crystal without saying a word.
The law chains surrounding the crystal could not move in time.
“Hasi!”
Time Ghost flew into the Origin Amethyst and began absorbing the rich time power of it.
Its origin was badly depleted, or else the time skills it had previously used could be increased several times.
The Vine of All Things Absorbed’s fruit that Su Bai had used to make before could only help it recover a small part of that lost origin.
Being able to enter the world’s core was the greatest help for it as the time origin contained here was the same as itself.
With the absorption of the source of time, its snowy-white body gradually glowed.
From a heterochromatic ghost, it turned into a shining heterochromatic ghost.
It was now a shining ghost.
Three days later, it had completely refilled its lost origin.
It was shining brightly now.
Get some more origin, Su Bai told Time Ghost telepathically.
Since it was already there, it must as well get a lot.
Before they left this place, he would find a few other time-attribute monsters to take away.
These monsters could be of great help to his relatives and friends.
After all, they were all monsters with the time attribute, and it was more precious than owning monsters with the space attribute.
“Hasi, hasi!”
Time Ghost nodded and opened its mouth to bite off a few more pieces. After it successfully took away ten small pieces, Su Bai quickly kept it into his contract book.
This was because the laws in the origin space had begun to riot.
His contract book flew back.
When Time Ghost was released, it flew to Su Bai with a wide grin on its face and took out ten egg-sized amethyst stones.
Su Bai took the things and then caressed its head. “Don’t you need one yourself? Why’d you give it all to me?”
“Hasi!”
Time Ghost shook its head, saying that it had no need to integrate so much origin of time.
“Alright, then. Let’s go.”
He let Planet Eye leave a small clone outside the origin space.
He then buried the channel they had dug and teleported directly back to the ground.
Led by Time Ghost, he grabbed ten more time attribute monsters with very good potential and put them into his contract book, ready to take them out.
“Ah Bai, something big has happened.”
Planet Eye successfully reconnected to the external network and quickly received bad news.
They had lost contact in these eleven days. During which, someone had sent hundreds of messages for help.
There were still many people anxiously asking where he was.
Without speaking, Su Bai frowned and watched the news bursting out of Planet Eye.
There were three major events, but they were all connected to one another.
The biggest event was that over a dozen Rabbit Kingdom’s royal pet families, including the Giant Kraken, Water Law, and God Insect gymnasiums, had all departed.
They jointly transformed a planet and named it Sirius.
It was already too late to stop them when the public learned of this. Those people had already moved everything they owned including themselves to Sirius, Obviously, it was long planned.
The fleeing of so many large forces this time had directly caused a mass panic and the Void Realm to fall completely. It was to the extent that various powerful void monsters could enter Blue Planet without any hindrance at present.
It could be said that Blue Planet’s persistence of more than one hundred years had been completely destroyed by that one move.
Moreover, the Sirius Alliance announced that it would be accepting Pet Tamers who wanted to flee, even though the official Rabbit Kingdom and the remaining big gymnasiums all tried to stop this.
The Saint Star of the Western Holy Sword Alliance had also begun to intervene at this time, wanting to obtain powerful professional Pet Tamers from the Rabbit Kingdom, too.
In the face of external and internal troubles, the official Rabbit Kingdom and the Pet Alliance could only unite to expose a planet called Hope Star, which they intended to use as a back hand. Both then announced that they would unconditionally receive anyone.
Regardless if they were ordinary people or Pet Tamers, all were unconditionally welcome. Hope Star was built secretly by the Rabbit Kingdom and Fuyao Gymnasium. The terraforming of it was way better than that of Sirius and Saint Star. It was the official relocation planet, too. This one move of theirs finally stopped Pet Tamers from moving to the other two planets.
It was also because of this that mankind had fully entered escape mode, though. Soon, Blue Planet would be overrun by monsters. Mankind could only survive in their new homelands.
No matter how good those transformed planets were, they could not be compared with humans’ original home.
This was the biggest event.
Su Bai did not feel much surprised about this because it was just a matter of time before the endless void swallowed Blue Planet. It was just impossible to fight that with sheer human power.
By retreating, humans could preserve their vitality and also wait for opportunities.
The shortcomings of this choice, however, were too obvious. For one, the planets terraformed by humans were too easy to destroy; they could not easily shoot at the void monsters, too, for fear of harming the innocent. The void monsters would then become more unscrupulous. Such immortal monsters could devour the entire planet Sirius in one bite.
Moreover, a world with a weak origin was weak in all aspects, so the probability of birth of geniuses, treasures, and godly pets would be greatly reduced.
It was not even clear whether a child born in the future would have a contract book or not.
Blue Planet was different. The origin and size of it over the past hundred years had been increasing continuously, and it was the most suitable for human reproduction. It could be said that abandoning the planet was also abandoning the foundation of mankind.
The situation this time was no longer solvable, though. The external pressures were still manageable, but the internal issues were just too serious.
However, Hope Star did not leave Blue Planet just yet. It had stayed put above the monster wilderness in the savage area south of Rabbit Kingdom for now.
The first was to attract people, asking them not to leave Blue Planet and to do so only when there was no other choice.
This not only gave people a way out but also called on mankind to defend Blue Planet.
The second and third things were closely related to Su Bai.
The second event was that Senior Brother Chang Tian along with two other senior brothers and one senior sister had rebelled. They joined forces with the imperial family of Tang and killed Gao An, abducting the precious Algae Monster and stealing all his master’s years of research data on planet terraforming.
It was his younger brother Su Yue, Senior Sister Li Xue, and Senior Brother Liu Xinghe who had sent him the distress signals.
Now, Su Bai did not know whether they were dead or alive. Judging from the last message they had sent him, they were still being hunted down.
Seeing this, his heart sank. His master had been murdered.
Some of his fellow apprentices might have been killed in battle as well.
He recalled his master, that tall and arrogant old man without a single hair.
He felt that Gao Nan must have been heartbroken before he died because he had been killed by the disciples whom he had cultivated since young.
“The Tang family… Chang Tian…”
Su Bai repeated those names several times, and a murderous intent came to life in his heart.
Gao An had always been kind to him. He was a softie at heart, whose bark was worse than his bite. He had always respected the old man and never imagined that he would leave this world like this.
He must avenge his master’s death.
This was not all, though. The most ruthless thing was the third thing.
When it rebelled, the Giant Kraken Gymnasium took people to Baiyue Manor, snatched the krakens’ nest, killed the Nine-tailed Magic Fox which was guarding it, and held his parents hostage on Planet Sirius. He was required to exchange the Blood Moon divine skill, the Ancestor Blood Dragon, and the Starry Omnivore Kraken for his parents within a period of one month, or else a broadcast of his father and mother being executed would be shown.
In fact, after knowing of Chang Tian’s betrayal and Gao An’s death, he had almost guessed that his family would definitely not be spared.
Fortunately, the third matter had been resolved. Thanks to the joint efforts of Elder Zhang Lu of Yulong Gymnasium and several other masters who had withdrawn from the Void Realm, though they could not heavily fight back against Sirius, they still managed to catch some important officials, including a legendary Pet Tamer, of the Giant Kraken Gymnasium.They used these people to exchange for his parents.
Even so, the krakens’ nest was still in their hands.
He was also uncertain about the whereabouts of his younger sibling and the others; they were probably still being hunted down.
“Giant Kraken Gymnasium…”
Su Bai took a deep breath and looked into the dark sky. His expression looked a little confused and full of self-blame.
He was wondering whether all those things would have happened or not if he had not come to the Vatican.
Although his parents were fine, Nine-tailed Demon Fox, his master Gao An, and his many senior brothers and sisters had all been killed.
Especially Su Yue, his last call for help was eight days ago and then there was no more news. His younger sibling’s life and death was currently unknown, making him feel extremely guilty.
“Howl!” No, it’s not Ah Bai who’s in the wrong; it’s those d*mn people!
Purple Jade seemed to understand what Su Bai was thinking and sat on his shoulder with confidence.
“Roar!” F*ck them! Don’t think about such useless things. Wait for us to find a chance, and we’ll smash that Planet Sirius sh*t to pieces! Little Tyrant cursed loudly.
His other pets also expressed their opinions one after another. Whatever Su Bai laid his eyes on, it would be their point of attack.
“Reporting to Ah Bai: I’ve once again received Su Yue’s call for help. They’re still alive and being hunted on!”
At this time, Planet Eye received another message.
“Teleport away and kill them all!” he growled in a low voice. There was no way to change what had already happened, and the only thing he could do now was to send those d*mn people to hell!
