Chapter 611 Old Man
"The fourth warp... has already left the sea of wreckage."
Recording the coordinates of the channel after his jump, Li Qi wrote down the jump record in the log on the ship.
After four jumps and a total distance of more than 500 light years, Li Qi finally escaped from the sea of wreckage.
To be honest, it's a bit scary.
Although the area within 500 light years was not entirely filled with debris and there were also many empty spaces, it was the first time that Li Qi encountered a situation like this, where it was empty and nothing could be seen.
This means that the "ocean" composed of debris covers an area of at least four hundred light years.
More than four hundred light years, it takes light more than four hundred years to reach the end of the distance, and there are so many debris distributed in this area...so where do these debris come from?
At first, Li Qi thought that these debris came from the foggy world.
But after the second jump, Li Qi abandoned this ridiculous idea.
Not to mention the foggy world, even if the entire star system where the foggy world is located is dismantled into pieces, it will definitely not be able to fill such a large area!
These debris must have come from somewhere else!
I just don't know where these debris came from.
"Let's not worry about that for now. If Ronnie and the others continue to move forward in this direction, I'm afraid we don't know how long it will take... We also don't know if there is a warp device on the Ark."
Without thinking about the source of the wreckage for the moment, Li Qi looked at the coordinates he recorded and the distance from the Ark, and fell into a long period of contemplation.
The distance is more than 500 light years. Even if the Ark has the ability to fly at the speed of light, it will take them more than 500 years.
What's more, the Ark is not there yet.
Even the current speed limit of the Ark, which is a few thousandths of the speed of light, requires a long time to accelerate to reach that speed.
If you increase the speed to the limit all at once.
It was unclear whether the Ark could withstand it, but the people on board certainly could not.
It is definitely impossible to travel such a long distance by flying alone.
This requires relying on a warp channel, but is there a warp channel on the Ark? It has been so long since then that Li Qi can't quite remember the abilities of the Ark. He only remembers gravity control, environmental transformation, garbage disposal, and so on...
"If that doesn't work, we can just modify the Ark. But to modify such a large spacecraft, I don't know how much material it would take."
If you want to help, you have to help to the end. Now that you have come back, it would be a bit unreasonable not to help these former relatives and friends.
Li Qi plans to explore the area around here. Once he is sure that it is safe, he will go back to modify the jump system on the Ark.
"Let's take a look around here first... Hmm? There seems to be a planet with life?"
I don’t know whether it was Li Qi’s good luck or the Ark’s good luck, but the set direction for travel happened to have a planet with life.
Anyway, after radar exploration, Li Qi discovered that this was actually a relatively mild star system.
The age of the stars seems to be very young, and the position of the planets in the galaxy just meets the conditions for the birth of life.
Considering the location of this planet, even if life has not yet been born on this planet and there are constant natural disasters on the planet, Li Qi can still transform it into a planet suitable for life.
By that time, the people on the Misty Planet will be able to successfully complete interstellar migration.
The spacecraft flew towards the life planet that Li Qi saw.
But as they approached the life planet, Li Qi's expression began to become serious, and even the speed of the spacecraft slowed down until it stopped outside the life planet.
A life planet is indeed a life planet with a complete ecosystem.
Judging from the outer atmosphere, there are at least conditions for the birth of life here.
However, the problem is that most of the planet's surface is covered by a white mist, with only a small part revealing the green ground with buildings.
At this point, the "identity" of this planet is already clear.
That's right.
This is a foggy world.
It was a foggy world that was very similar to the planet that Ronnie and his friends had escaped from...even exactly the same! "Huh..."
Seeing a planet that was extremely similar to the foggy world, Li Qi leaned back in the cockpit and let out a long breath.
He didn't move for a long time. He just leaned there blankly, looking up at the starry sky above.
The starry sky is quite beautiful, with endless points of light decorating the dark sky, and flickering constantly, just like the lyrics of the nursery rhyme I heard when I was a child, 'Twinkle, twinkle little star'.
But these "glittering things" seem so fake in Li Qi's eyes now.
He couldn't help but wonder, are these twinkling stars just similar misty planets? Do misty planets really exist?
Does this universe even exist?
Li Qi began to doubt the existence of this "small world".
“…Let’s go down and take a look first.”
Past experiences told Li Qi that he might have encountered something else strange.
With his experience with the Black Dragon, he should not have gone down to investigate. After all, the situation was unknown. An existence that could turn an entire small world's universe into this state must be a powerful being that far exceeds the Black Dragon in strength.
But...his intuition told him that there was no danger here and he should go down and take a look.
Should he follow his own experience or his own intuition? Li Qi thought for a while and decided to choose the latter.
…
The small spacecraft entered the atmosphere and fell in flames.
Li Qi controlled the spacecraft to one of the few areas on the planet that was not shrouded in fog.
A city under construction.
The spaceship turned on stealth mode and hovered over the city. Li Qi left the spaceship alone and came to the city which was still under construction.
Landing on the ground, what Li Qi saw were the people living here.
But the people here were like wax figures, standing there motionless with either a smile, anger, or sadness on their faces.
When Li Qi walked in it, it was as if he was walking into a wax museum.
And in this "wax figure", apart from Li Qi, the only moving object is an old man.
An old man with gray hair, wearing glasses and wearing clothes like a craftsman.
There, he was using something like a chisel in his hand to carve a "wax figure" that was not yet completed in front of him.
Li Qi just looked at him without disturbing him until a minute later, when the old man finished carving the "wax figure" and turned back.
"Huh?" The old man turned around and met Li Qi who came here. He pushed his glasses, looked at Li Qi in great surprise, and then said:
"It's you? You're back?"
"???"
The old man's first words made Li Qi's brain freeze: "...You know me!?"
"Of course, of course I know you... You caused a big fuss in the world I created, completely destroyed my original setting, and then you just walked away... Hehe, I have a very deep impression of you."
The old man pushed up his glasses and said to Li Qi with a smile.
After hearing what the old man said, Li Qi's heart tightened: "You said... the world you created? What do you mean?"
"Don't pretend. You've already guessed it, right? In your previous world, there was Ronnie, Emma... Carol, and... Chris and Ger."
The old man said these names one by one, and Li Qi became more nervous with each name he said.
Creating the world? Creating the world out of thin air is different from transforming the world through various means.
At least for Li Qi now, with his abilities, he cannot create the world and life.
Because he can't create souls! But Ronnie and the others have souls! This means that the old man in front of him not only created life and the world, but he also created souls! Damn, this is another big boss! Li Qi instantly thought of the mysterious strong man he met last time who left him a legacy.
Could it be that the person in front of me is also at the same level as that mysterious powerful man?
Li Qi was alert, even though the other party looked like an ordinary person and did not pose any threat at all.
But this is the most dangerous thing for someone who can create the world.
But he is still no match for the big boss last time. Once Li Qi closed his eyes, the big boss last time was like he didn't exist.
The old man in front of me is still no match for that big guy.
"What? Are you scared?" The old man seemed to see Li Qi's vigilance and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. If I really wanted to do something to you, I would have done it when you messed up my settings. I wouldn't have waited until now."
As he spoke, he turned around again, reached into the space beside him, and took out a ball of mud.
The old man threw the mud ball to the ground, and it quickly took shape, turning into a human-like shape. Only then did the old man say, "Besides, I don't have much time left. There's no need to make things complicated. I can't afford to offend a strong man who left his aura on you."
Zelia?
When talking about the strong people who had left their methods on him, the first person that Li Qi thought of was Zelia.
If this old man is afraid of Zelia, does it mean that the other party's overall strength is actually only at the peak of the eighth level or the beginning of the ninth level?
If that's the case, then there's really no need to worry too much.
Feeling a little relieved, Li Qi walked to the old man and saw him making clay figures like Nuwa creating human beings. He asked curiously:
"What are you doing?"
"Can't you see? I'm creating the world."
The old man didn't even turn his head, and concentrated on making the clay figure. After he finished, he took out a brush and brushed it on the other person's face a few times, and the brown clay instantly turned into white skin.
Li Qi looked around, sizing up the 'wax figures' around him, and asked, "This place looks a lot like the foggy world... Are you planning to create another foggy world?"
"No." The old man answered immediately, and explained: "I am creating 'memories', trying to create a world in my memory, but unfortunately... over the years, I have created countless worlds, but I can never find the world in my memory.
"So I can only reproduce the world in my memory over and over again, and I don't know if I can succeed before the end of my life."
The old man spoke with a tone full of sighs and lamentations.
