Chapter 759: Chapter 475: A Long and Lonely Voyage (Part 2)

"He should be following us." Wu Chen thought for a moment and answered, "Master said he would catch up within twenty minutes after our launch. With his speed, he should not be far behind us."

Chen Xin said in amazement, "I can hardly imagine... he can actually fly in the cosmos without protection."

Another astronaut, Li Yunkong, laughed and said, "Our bodies have been strengthened to this extent, what else is unimaginable?"

Chen Xin sighed upon hearing this, "Yes, we are the biggest beneficiaries, effortlessly gaining this nearly superhuman physique."

Li Yunkong bitterly smiled, "It’s not exactly effortless... didn’t we also train hard for seven days?"

"Compared to this kind of physique, training for a few days is already light." Wu Chen slowly said, "Our master back then also trained for several months to reach our current state. When he first started recruiting disciples at the Tai Chi Association, he might not have been as strong as us. But back then, he trained from morning till night every day, either running or practicing Tai Chi."

At this point, Wu Chen paused, "Even though his progress was already beyond everyone’s reach, he still practiced diligently for a long time to gain extraordinary power. Winning the half-marathon back then was something he had to risk his life for. And we only needed to train hard for seven days to grasp such power, which is already lucky enough."

As Wang Ye’s past was mentioned, the other two men couldn’t help but gaze intently, listening attentively.

After all, this was the path of the world’s strongest person today, possibly containing the ultimate secrets of evolution.

In reality,

most people now knew Wang Ye’s past by heart.

Since Wang Ye became famous, even withstanding a nuclear bomb, netizens compiled his past achievements into complete videos, allowing everyone to see clearly Wang Ye’s rapid progress since debut.

Strictly speaking, from the half-marathon in April last year, Wang Ye first appeared before everyone. But most people didn’t pay much attention to such a minor sport’s champion at the time, and Wang Ye was already approaching thirty years old, past his prime.

Yet, starting from this half-marathon, Wang Ye’s progress speeded like a rocket, rapidly breaking numerous sports records in just a few months, then went on to challenge various extreme sports, doing live streams to showcase his physique far beyond human limits.

However, before the start of this year, Wang Ye was still within the realm of Earthly creatures, not threatening anyone. Netizens jokingly called him a ’cultivator’, not believing he had truly mastered any cultivation technique.

But starting in January 2025, Wang Ye seemed to have indeed started cultivating, consecutively performing miracles like a 40,000-meter free fall, lifting a civilian airliner, and withstanding a nuclear explosion, things only seen in fantasy novels.

If the former Wang Ye only interested young internet surfers, the current Wang Ye truly became known as the Earth’s strongest individual. From centenarians to newborns, almost everyone has heard of Wang Ye’s feats, and over half of the global population worship him.

The entire Earth’s situation was completely changed by Wang Ye. Formerly hostile and even warring countries shifted their focus, preventing countless casualties and injuries among refugees. Part of Wang Ye’s merit seems to come from this.

However, that being said, even though most netizens have learned of Wang Ye’s progress path over the past year, no one can see the secret of maintaining high-speed progress from it.

Even cultivation is somewhat inadequate. In traditional cultivation novels, progressing from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage takes years to accomplish, and Wang Ye, at the very least, is now at the Nascent Soul Ancestor level. Training from a mortal to the Nascent Soul Stage in just one year would be considered an overpowered level even in a cultivation novel.

Using genetic modification makes it even less reasonable. In science fiction, no matter how strong genetic modification is, it can at most make someone Captain America level. After all, human genes originate from Earth, making it difficult to surpass Earth. But Wang Ye now far exceeds the earthly realm, and destroying Earth might just be a matter of a few more days for him.

So now, many people online speculate whether Wang Ye obtained some ancient inheritance from a high-dimensional prehistoric world or a system from a novel. But without evidence, these remain speculations. The real reason probably still requires Wang Ye to personally reveal.

And this has become the most curious matter for everyone on Earth. Everyone has their minds wide open, guessing what exactly made Wang Ye so powerful. And right now, these three astronauts can be said to be the closest to the truth because they are the only humans Wang Ye has fully transformed.

Just as the three were contemplating,

suddenly.

A voice appeared out of nowhere in their minds.

"Hello."

This voice instantly sent chills down their spines.

In space, because sound has no medium to travel through, it is impossible to hear sound in the cosmos.

Their communication also relies on the air provided by the rocket for transmission.

And just now, none of the three had spoken, so where did the voice come from?

"Could it be... Wang Ye?"

The three immediately looked around, trying to find Wang Ye. But the manned cabin is just this big, and there’s no entrance connecting to the outside world, so naturally, Wang Ye couldn’t be inside the rocket.

They turned their eyes outside the rocket but saw only the dark expanse of starry cosmos. This made them a bit puzzled about where the voice was coming from.

Suddenly,

The voice from before resounded in their minds again.

"Stop searching; I’m about fifty kilometers behind you. You won’t be able to see me." Wang Ye’s voice echoed in their minds like a grand bell, strong and stirring, "I’m now using the Primordial Spirit Transmission method, capable of transmitting thoughts directly into your minds. You only need to think to communicate with me."

"Primordial Spirit Transmission...?" The three were momentarily stunned.

Wang Ye can actually communicate in space using his mind as a medium? It’s well known that transmitting sound in space has always been a challenge for humans.

Once outside the spacecraft, astronauts can only rely on the radio in their helmets for conversation. Although meeting the need for dialogue, always wearing a helmet is somewhat inconvenient. Additionally, the oxygen and energy in the spacesuit are limited.

Wang Ye’s thought transmission is indeed a bit outrageous.

Just by thinking, they can communicate, which means their thoughts can now be fully heard by Wang Ye, with no secrets hidden.

Is this the legendary Mind Reading Technique?

Thinking of this, a slight tension crept into their hearts. The idea of someone peering into their thoughts felt like being stripped bare, devoid of privacy.

However, what they didn’t know was that when Wang Ye transformed their bodies, he had already fully accessed their memories. Everything they’ve ever seen or learned from birth to now completely belonged to Wang Ye. So to Wang Ye, they had no privacy at all.
