Chapter 437: Dead Silence
Outside the universe, there is a dead silent place.
There is no difference between day and night here, the whole world is dark. The darkness here is extremely silent, there is no wind, no water, no elements, not even humans and animals.
Any sign of life would end here. Here, there was only death.
A deserted and boundless wasteland with a patch of black trees looks like a forest, but if you look closely you will find that the trees here are lifeless, and the charred and rotten wood is as hard as iron.
In the middle of this forest there was a pool of black stagnant water, with all kinds of dead branches and rotten leaves stagnating on top for many years. The thick branches and rotten leaves rotted and melted and sank to the bottom. Over time, this place became a rotten swamp where even the dead water was thick.
It is said that there is no life and no light in this dead place. However, in this rotten and corrupt swamp, there are a few faint bright yellow lights like ghost lights flickering.
There were not many of these bright spots, about a dozen or so. The largest was the size of a fist, and the smallest was smaller than a fingernail. The fingernail-sized bright spots were sometimes bright, sometimes dim, as if they could be extinguished by the noise of something falling from the side.
But it is also strong.
A will-o'-the-wisp that was slightly larger than it seemed to have made up its mind and jumped to its side with great effort.
Looking closer, this slightly larger will-o'-the-wisp is actually a ball of everlasting flame. It has no consciousness or life, and even less wisdom, but only a desire for energy.
This is the most instinctive desire at the beginning of all life.
As long as it absorbs this will-o'-the-wisp that is smaller than itself, it will become stronger again.
It was covered in strange red flames and suddenly jumped behind the small flame.
The power of life is forbidden here. But they can survive in the form of will-o'-the-wisp. The larger the will-o'-the-wisp, the stronger its power and energy.
The law of the jungle is everywhere, even in this deadly place. The small will-o'-the-wisp was defeated and was quickly absorbed by the slightly larger will-o'-the-wisp.
After absorbing the will-o'-the-wisp, its energy grew stronger again, and its status in this death swamp rose again.
In terms of size, it had changed from lower-middle to medium-sized. As long as it absorbed even one more will-o'-the-wisp of this size, it would be able to climb up again.
However, the next second, a will-o'-the-wisp that was much larger than it suddenly appeared, and within three seconds, it completely absorbed it. However, after the large will-o'-the-wisp absorbed it, it suddenly flew back quickly, and finally returned to the eye socket of a skull.
In the two lifeless eye sockets of the skull, another will-o'-the-wisp was flickering. As this will-o'-the-wisp approached, it simultaneously grew stronger, giving the white bones of the skull a layer of life.
It had been in this deadly place for who knows how many days. After today's battle, there seemed to be a little more blood in its skull.
Such fights are everywhere in this deadly land.
If you want to survive and grow your flame, you can only keep absorbing other will-o'-the-wisp to increase your size. Otherwise, you will be ruthlessly absorbed.
Such fights are not limited to this swamp; they occur everywhere outside of this forest.
This dead land is boundless, like the view on the other side of the infinite universe. It is as big as the universe.
In another dark place far away from this dead place, the surrounding area was filled with dark air and charred and hard flowers, plants and trees. They had no life, only individual consciousness existing in another form.
At the end of this darkness, there is a huge palace made of bone Liao. From the outside, the bones of this bone Liao are full of veins and bloodshot. In the bone Liao head that stands tall, there are a bunch of scarlet eyes, and the shadows of countless ghost fires are in the air.
Its interior was empty and filled with the smell of blood. On the straight road from the forest entrance to the interior of the palace, creatures with skeletons all over their bodies, their eye sockets filled with gem-like energy, stood motionless on both sides of the road like sculptures, holding spears or sabers in their hands.
Two rows of skeleton creatures, like the most loyal guards, guard the peace of the palace motionlessly.
A beast with a wolf's head and a human body, about three meters tall, covered in black deathly aura, sat majestically on the bone-burning throne at the end of the palace.
He looked at the two men kneeling on the ground below his throne without any expression.
Both men had human bodies, but one of them had a human head with no facial features. Upon closer inspection, it looked like countless closed eyes.
"Among the three of you, Wu Qi has the best talent and is most like me, but he is too emotional. Otherwise, how could he not be able to handle the affairs of such a small planet? Alas."
"King, why don't we go directly to Earth? Instead, let Aqi lead the way? The number of inferior abolitionist slaves on Earth is decreasing instead of increasing. The root cause is that Aqi failed to carry out your orders.
I think you should call Aqi back, and I will go there to gather the abolitionists to launch an attack on humans."
The Wolf Chief nodded slightly on the Bone Liao throne to show his agreement, "Qianyan, you know my temper. Although our clan has always spoken with strength, now is the time to use people. I don't want you to continue fighting.
This time, you will go to Earth... and assist him."
“King…!” The countless closed eyes on Qianyan’s face trembled, as if he was still trying to fight for something.
The wolf-headed king was furious. "Just help me escape this planet. If you are able to kill him in the future, you will inherit my position." He looked at the other man kneeling below. "Rulin, this sentence will also be useful to you... Understand?"
The remaining man under the throne looked completely human when he looked up, but if you looked closely, you would find that his half-exposed neck and palms were actually covered with thick black scales.
"King, I think we should take the space plants with our clan's mark. There are no space stabilizers on Earth now, and the time for the families in the universe to leave is almost up.
They didn't know that such a newborn planet would actually be an advanced planet where life was evolving.
Most of them went there to plunder, waiting for the destruction of the planet to fight for the fragments of time and space. If they found that it was a sphere of advanced life, it would be too late to go back and prepare the space stabilizer.
In order to seize the initiative, I think we can bring the plant life that supports the space. By then, it will be too late for the families passing through the universe to come.
Then doesn't the earth belong to us?"
After hearing this, the Wolf King suddenly burst into laughter! "Hahaha! Great! You are thoughtful. I will do as you say!"
But Qianyan objected, "But King, have you forgotten? There are only two mature plant life forms in the dead land, and they are huge in size. If they want to travel through the time tunnel to reach the earth, the possibility of being damaged on the way is as high as more than 90%.
If it is destroyed, then aren't we busying ourselves in vain? And even if we arrive safely, it will take an extremely long time for such a huge plant life to integrate the time and space elements of the Earth's Heart and occupy the Earth.
The families in the Universe Kingdom are not easy to deal with, and they will do anything to get what they want. If they work together to destroy the plant life we brought with great effort, it would be good. But if a master above the Universe level takes the plant life for himself, then we will lose both the lady and the army."
