The immortal who travels the world

Chapter 1241 Aging (Two in One)

At a distance of several astronomical units, observe a white line with a diameter of less than ten centimeters.

Even if the white line is long enough, it is still difficult to see with the naked eye.

At least Lu Yan didn't see the existence of the white line at all, and could only roughly observe this dangerous line from the display screen brought up by the ball.

The presence of these geometries naturally does not need to be the case.

But after they checked it carefully, they became more and more puzzled.

The rectangle looked at the square, and said, "Have you connected with the Zero Returner civilization?"

They are very clear that only the zero-returners, a civilization that hopes to return to the pastoral age, will manufacture such dangerous substances.

But it is precisely because of the danger that the zero return civilization will not discard such lines at will, let alone it happens to appear on their route.

If it is possible to know how this white line appeared in this position from the Zero Returner.

Maybe we can figure out what this so-called cosmic will is all about.

Unfortunately, we haven't waited for the news to come back.

Mishap happened.

I saw that the white line, which was several astronomical units away from the console, suddenly showed signs of diffusion visible to the naked eye.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it expanded from a mere ten centimeters in diameter to hundreds of meters in diameter.

Then one kilometer, ten kilometers, one hundred kilometers...

The two space fleets that were still at war, when they noticed the change, quickly chose to evacuate.

It's a pity that the white line spreads too fast.

This kind of diffusion speed close to the speed of light made it too late for both fleets to start the curvature engine.

Two fleets capable of conducting large-scale battles in space were so easily wiped out by the white line.

It was like a pile of rubble being submerged in water without causing any waves.

Faced with such a white line that suddenly spread at the speed of light, the geometric figures did not care about the fleet swallowed by the white line, and decisively manipulated the console to move away in the opposite direction.

Thanks to the distance of several astronomical units, even if the white line spreads at the speed of light, it will take more than ten minutes to reach the position of the console.

Normally, although it is not sure how far the white line will spread, it is calculated based on the maximum range of five light years.

Taking advantage of this time, entering the console at the speed of light can safely avoid the attack of the white line.

Therefore, the geometries are at most a little surprised, but not very flustered.

However, blessings and misfortunes never come singly.

I don't know if it's due to frequent emergency stops or [Death's Will].

This light-speed spaceship, which was temporarily modified by the console, turned around and was about to enter the speed of light, and suddenly there was a violent shake.

Click!

A clear cracking sound entered Lu Yan's ears.

According to the reputation, it was the second half of the console, which accounted for nearly a quarter of the entire console, showing signs of tragic detachment.

Yuanqiu quickly threw a light spacesuit over Lu Yan's body, and then quickly adjusted the air pressure difference between the cabin and space.

A translucent force field emerged, blocking the possibility of communication between the inside and the outside.

In fact, geometries do not need oxygen to survive in space.

The main reason for transforming the console into this specification is to ensure Lu Yan's living environment.

But the question now is not whether Lu Yan can survive.

After losing the light-speed spacecraft, the geometric bodies may still be able to travel away through quantum technology, but Lu Yan cannot use this method, and can only stay in the console and wait to die.

There is no way, even if the technology of the geometries is so strong that they can modify the laws of the universe at will, it is impossible to create something out of nothing.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

In the absence of materials, it would be too embarrassing for them to build a new light-speed spacecraft out of thin air.

There are still nearly 10 minutes before the white line spreads to where the console is.

For a while, the geometric bodies couldn't think of how to accelerate a large living person to the speed of light and still survive.

After all, this console is not a real light-speed spaceship, and there is no corresponding self-rescue equipment inside.

"We can only give up on him."

When the rectangle said these words, he felt a burst of relaxation for no reason.

Yuanqiu looked at Lu Yan, then turned to the white line in the distance.

Everything has a sunk cost.

In order to obtain enough pure energy from Lu Yan, Yuanqiu has been busy for so long in the early stage.

He hasn't even started to reap the rewards yet, so it's really hard for him to make up his mind to give up on Lu Yan.

Seeing this, Lu Yan felt a little helpless.

He didn't expect that Yuanqiu would be unable to protect himself so quickly.

This is nearly ten hours away from his 3-minute cooldown.

He tentatively pulled out a device similar to a hand-operated pencil sharpener.

"Can I try this?"

This small energy-to-mass conversion device was given by the ball.

"can."

If the ball had eyes, his eyes would be dazzled.

Even though it's just a small energy conversion device, it's still enough to re-transform this console.

Except for the rectangle, the rest of the geometry is indifferent to such a turn.

They were just curious about the reason why Lu Yan could unleash pure energy indefinitely. Whether Lu Yan was dead or alive was not important to them.

Yuanqiu has already controlled this small energy conversion device to get busy.

Pieces of the console were salvaged one after another, and then the device's conversion port ejected exquisite parts.

With the help of the tentacles force field, even if the ball is assembled by itself, the efficiency is astonishingly fast.

In just a few minutes, a new spaceship took shape.

In this regard, the rectangle still feels quite regretful.

However, like other geometric bodies, they moved into this new spaceship one after another.

Of course, Lu Yan still remained on the console.

After all, there is no geometric body to bring him on his own initiative, and the space suit he is wearing now does not have a power system, at most it is to ensure that he can survive in space.

He probably won't be brought in until after the round ball has finished its busy work.

But at this moment.

hum~
In the dark space in the distance, a huge light suddenly appeared.

The moment Lu Yan saw this ray of light, he lost his sight on the spot.

There is no medium for sound transmission in space, but Lu Yan can be sure of what this ray of light is.

Because of this light, he has seen it.

The most powerful weapon that can be naturally produced in the universe - gamma ray burst!

The desperately terrifying rays penetrated the light speed spaceship that was just half loaded in an instant.

……

Most of the universe is pitch black.

However, at this moment, this piece of space is filled with extremely violent energy fluctuations.

Less than two astronomical units away, there is another piece of pure white sweeping in.

Like a gorgeous dream.

The light-speed spacecraft that was hit by the gamma ray burst was completely dissolved, leaving nothing behind.

Only the wreckage of half of the console remained, still in mid-air.

Although gamma rays and gamma ray bursts are both electromagnetic waves, their lethality is not the same.

It is worth mentioning that gamma-ray bursts are divided into long bursts and short bursts.

It also releases a huge amount of energy, the shorter the time it takes, the greater the lethality.

There is no doubt that the gamma-ray burst that dissolved the spacecraft is a short burst.

This huge gravitational energy released by the fusion of two neutron stars lasted even less than two seconds.

The geometry bodies who had just transferred had not had time to investigate the surroundings, and they had received such a fatal blow, and had no chance to make any preparations for it.

All of this happened too suddenly, several geometric bodies had not had time to carry out consciousness transmission, and they melted together with the pure energy body in the blow of the gamma ray burst.

Speaking of it, if the existence of this gamma-ray burst is predicted in advance, it is not inconceivable to ensure that all geometric objects survive with the technical level of a great god-level civilization.

Of course, even if those geometric bodies survived the impact of the gamma-ray burst, it is not something that can be done in a short time if they want to return to the scene.

But this is what Lu Yan is happy to see.

Anyway, these geometric bodies have been cursed by [Death God's Will]. Compared with gathering together, they must be dispersed to cause more movement.

Don't forget, as long as these geometries are vigilant, even encountering celestial bodies such as black holes is just a joke to them.

Individuals who want to use the power of the universe itself to solve these great god-level civilizations.

I'm afraid it really has to go to the point where the universe collapses.

……

Minutes after the gamma ray burst.

In the console where only the wreckage remained, Lu Yan shook his arm hesitantly.

He didn't expect that he was still alive.

It has to be said that the protective effect of a spacesuit provided by the ball is indeed quite good.

Probably the only bad thing is that his eyes were blinded by the exaggerated brightness of the gamma ray burst.

However, since it is still alive.

He didn't intend to let go of his self-restriction either. It would be a bit of a loss if he was judged to have used supernatural power because of restoring his eyesight.

It's nothing more than experiencing the blind for a while.

Like this, Lu Yan was floating in the universe with the wreckage of the console, unable to move in any direction, let alone avoid the incoming white line.

After more than ten minutes, the spreading white line covered this space, including Lu Yan.

The universe is rich and colorful. Even in the great god-level civilization, there are civilizations like the ball that like art collections, and there are even pacifists.

These are not the mainstream of the universe, nor do they dictate the direction of the universe.

But in comparison, most low-level civilizations would rather be in contact with such a similar great god-level civilization.

Zeroizer civilization is such an idealist.

What they pursue is not a weapon that is terrifying enough to destroy the universe, and they have a great aversion to behaviors such as tampering with the laws of the universe.

Their primary goal is to return the universe to the pastoral age.

Therefore, even if the Return to Zero civilization created extremely dangerous objects such as dead lines and live lines, their essence was not used as weapons.

From a cosmic perspective, this is a small-scale experiment.

Lu Yan's eyesight has not recovered yet, but when he entered the area covered by the white line, he could clearly feel the change.

His body is aging at an alarming rate.

It is worth mentioning that within the area covered by the white line, the speed of time passing is not as fast as imagined.

Although it was almost tens of thousands of times normal, it was far from dying of old age on the spot.

This is actually not an accident, it is purely because the wider the white line spreads, the slower the flow of time in it.

After spreading to more than ten astronomical units in diameter, the speed in it is probably equivalent to tens of thousands of times the normal situation.

It is true that this flow rate is also terrifying. If a baby is thrown in, the baby will become a white-haired old man after a day or two outside.

But compared to dying of old age on the spot, this speed of aging is not unacceptable to Lu Yan.

He can gamble whether he will die of old age first, or the entire universe will collapse under the curse of [Death God's Will].

For ordinary people, the rising of the sun and the setting of the moon are their perception of time.

When the aging of the body stretches to such a distant span of several decades, even if it gets older day by day, it is actually difficult to feel obvious changes.

At most, I woke up one morning a few years later, stood in front of the sink, looked at myself in the mirror, and said with emotion: Oh, so I am already so old.

Everyone knows that they will grow old one day, but they cannot accurately grasp the aging process.

At this moment, Lu Yan clearly felt such a change in himself.

He could feel that his skin quickly became dry and wrinkled, and it became difficult to bend his knees...

Lu Yan had never experienced such an experience.

Since he grew up, he will never age or die, and will always be in the most vigorous stage of human body energy.

Even if one possesses the ability of [Aging], one will only become old in an instant, and there will be no such aging process.

Such a special experience made him forget about the training mission for a while.

The ancients liked to think about the idea of ​​cicadas, because in their view, such a short life is always full of poetry.

The so-called hidden practice for more than ten years, once left the earth and turned into a fairy.

Lu Yan felt that he was like a cicada.

I can't see everything around me, but I can clearly feel my own aging.

Some things that were originally only on the philosophical level suddenly became very realistic and concrete.

Lu Yan dare not say that he has a new understanding of life, but he can be sure that this kind of understanding seems to be of great benefit to him in the dark.

He raised his head. In the weightless environment, this shouldn't be a strenuous movement.

But as if he was operating this body for the first time, he almost hit the hatch.

"Hiss~ It hurts..."
