Bai Shimu first saw Gu Jueye on news reports. He was from a prestigious family, exceptionally handsome and elegant. Her first impression of him? "A demon!"
The second time she met Gu ...
He said he came from a planet called "Su," whose home is in a star cluster about 500 light-years from Earth, mainly distributed on the planets Telleta and Irro.
When the other person mentioned the word "宿" (sù), the image of this man immediately came to mind.
Therefore, she remembers this word very clearly.
She then asked what they looked like, because they never showed their true faces, which made her very curious.
The other person chuckled softly and communicated with her telepathically.
They look almost identical to humans on Earth, and their planetary race and humans on Earth actually shared the same ancestors tens of thousands of years ago.
This group of ancestors traveled in spaceships, splitting into several teams from the Lyra constellation, with the aim of finding habitable zones in other star clusters.
Ultimately, their ancestors chose to build homes on the planets Teletta and Iro, while another group of ancestors came to Earth and became the pioneers of humankind.
She then asked his name and posed the question that had been nagging at her: why had he appeared before her and what was his purpose in approaching her?
The other person was silent for a while, seemingly considering how to talk to her about these topics.
A moment later, the name "Caesar" appeared before her eyes.
Then, in a deep male voice, he said, "My name is Caesar. Actually, I've been watching you for a long time. If we go back even further, I was involved in your past life. But don't worry, I'm only approaching you to protect your safety in secret; I have no other purpose."
Hearing Caesar's explanation, Bai Qianmo's doubts were not dispelled; instead, they became even more perplexed.
"Why are you protecting me?" she wondered to herself. Did she have some special identity?
However, as she waited for a reply, she saw countless planets around her begin to fall in a certain direction at extremely high speeds.
Tens of thousands of fireballs drew a golden line in the sky as they headed toward Earth.
At this moment, she is in the universe, as if she has a God's-eye view, clearly seeing that the earth is facing a catastrophic disaster that will destroy all mankind.
Fireballs hurtled towards high-rise buildings, rural areas, amber, oceans, and forests, turning everything in sight into a sea of fire.
Seeing the scene before her, Bai Qianmo was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Standing in the vast universe, she could clearly see what was happening in every corner of the earth. In fact, the moment she was worried about her fifth brother's safety, her gaze reached Gudeburg.
However, she couldn't find Fifth Brother in Gudeburg. She searched everywhere but couldn't find the person she was worried about.
At that moment, the man beside her seemed to sense her anxiety.
"Don't worry, this is just a fantasy. Study that ancient book carefully, and it will be of help to you." The man's voice seemed to fade into the distance.
Shortly afterward, she woke up from her sleep.
Opening her eyes and seeing the familiar surroundings, she sat on the bed in silence for a long time.
Was it just a dream, or did someone actually enter her dream to convey some message to her?
And why did the other party take her to see that catastrophic disaster?
At that moment, she suddenly remembered Caesar's last words.
Without even putting on shoes, he went barefoot straight to the bookshelf, opened the drawer, and began to look through the old book that his fifth brother had given him.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
The martial arts manual that she had initially found profound and difficult to understand suddenly became clear to her when she opened it again, with a series of analyses and explanations appearing in her eyes, allowing her to easily comprehend its contents.
From then on, she noticed changes in her body.
When she focused her mind, her eyes could see through the human body to the bones inside. Moreover, a powerful energy appeared in her body. Initially, she could not control this energy, and during the teleportation process, she would often instantly move to tens or even hundreds of kilometers away.
During the year she spent in seclusion, she practiced the ancient family's secret manual while simultaneously mastering this energy. Gradually, she discovered that the ancient book of the Gu family was intricately connected to the powerful and mysterious energy within her body.
Combining the two can unleash tremendous power.
The screeching sound of the tires pulling Bai Qianmo back from her wandering thoughts.
"What's going on?" Xinghe asked, looking at his companion in the driver's seat.
"I think I just saw something gray flash past in front of the car," his companion said, looking startled.
"Did you hit someone?" Xinghe asked, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car.
His companion immediately got out of the car to check.
It was around 10 p.m., and there were very few vehicles on the road, let alone pedestrians.
The two got out of the car and walked to the front, only to find nothing there.
Xinghe glanced at his companion with a hint of reproach.
"I think you've been lacking energy lately. Have you been spending your nights exhausting yourself and your body is too weak, which is why you're hallucinating?"
Xinghe teased him, and his companion looked helpless.
"I clearly saw a gray figure flash past the car, and I also saw a pair of eyes glare at me."
"Alright, when you get home, just drink more goji berry tea and eat some kidney-tonifying supplements. Get in the car."
"Don't make fun of me, kid. My kidneys are perfectly fine. You were sleeping like a log and didn't see that figure at all. But I really saw it."
"Okay, okay, you saw it, alright? Get in the car." Xinghe yawned and turned to get in the car.
At this moment, Bai Qianmo looked out the car window.
The car had just exited the highway. The area was remote, with a not-so-wide road flanked by dark woods, overgrown with weeds.
Her eyes were unusual, so when she looked around, her gaze suddenly turned toward a certain direction deep in the dense forest.
