Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 349: The Tomb of the Human Fleet

There were two reasons Chen Xuanyue had chosen to follow Wei Huo and work for him. Firstly, for the promise she had made. Secondly, to find out how to enter the Mythical stage.

However, when the two Mythical creatures told her what a Mythical creature was, she was stunned.

This reminded her of a math teacher explaining calculus to everyone. “This is calculus. It’s simple, right? You’ll understand once you get it.”

A genius would nod to show that they understood. A student would try their best to listen to the class, take notes, and record this. However, they still would not understand.

In reality, the difference between a genius and a bad student was a flash of inspiration. As long as a flash of inspiration occurred, a top student would be no different from a bottom feeder. Why did the people studying humanities memorize things every day? However, the people studying science subjects were very relaxed. They could get first place even without doing homework or despite sleeping in class. That was the difference.

Chen Xuanyue did not understand. She had been following the two Mythical creatures. Then, she realized that the two Mythical creatures were just waiting to die.

It was said that a long time ago, a giant snake’s life was only about eating and sleeping. There had been nothing special about it. This was the same. It did whatever it wanted to do every day. It idled around and did not cultivate or comprehend the Great Dao. It just played chess and drank tea as if it had entered old age.

This was too weird. It even made Chen Xuanyue feel that this was really the Mythical stage. Or was it because it would not die that it did not feel any pressure and had an inflated sense of self?

Apart from the two Mythical creatures, Little Xuanyue was also carefree. She followed the two Mythical creatures and lived happily every day.

Gradually, Chen Xuanyue understood why the universe did not care. If Mythical creatures were just waiting to die, the universe probably would not care. However, in reality, even though Wei Huo and the snake egg were just waiting to die, they were still absorbing mental strength from afar. The range of their mental strength was still growing, and so was their strength.

Besides, they still had their own goals.

The snake egg said, “I want to transcend. I want to break through the world barrier. I want to break through it layer by layer until the end.”

Wei Huo said, “I want to explore all the secrets of the world and go to every corner of the world.”

Chen Xuanyue finally understood that this was why Mythical creatures eventually embarked on the Star Path. They wanted to seek higher development. This applied to all creatures.

This information made Chen Xuanyue understand that even Gods still had feelings. Moreover, because Gods did not care about the power, status, and wealth that people cared about, they would naturally show their nature.

A serious and expressionless God would only try to create a supreme image to intimidate humans and obtain benefits from them.

True Mythical creatures did not care what humans would give them, so they would not act high and mighty in front of them.

The more unsmiling they were, the more respected they were. The loftier they were, the more obvious it was that they were humans and not Gods.

They were just pretending to benefit from humans.

Chen Xuanyue gradually understood this, so her cold face finally started melting. She had thought that she was at the peak of the Legendary stage and she was different from ordinary people. That was why she never smiled and looked cold. However, it was all because of her boring self-esteem. She pretended to be like that because she cared about other people’s opinion.

On the contrary, Wei Huo, the snake egg, and Little Xuanyue were living freely. That was the mentality a God should have.

Chen Xuanyue changed silently under the influence of the two Mythical creatures. Three months later, the Leviathan finally left the Star Path and arrived in an unfamiliar galaxy.

The first thing that came into view was a huge planet. This planet was brown and enormous. In the distance was a slightly green star. According to the scan of the Leviathan’s biological battleship, there were three planets in this star system. There was also an extremely huge battleship wreckage area.

Based on the image transmitted back, one could see that it was a circular-shaped debris area of a huge battleship. There was dense battleship debris everywhere, and there were three different types of battleship fragments in the wreckage. One type of fragments belonged to a brown battleship that numbered the most, while the second one belonged to a biological battleship with the second highest number. The third type of fragments belonged to a silver-white battleship with the lowest number.

The Leviathan approached the wreckage, opened its mouth, and swallowed many battleship remains.

This was a way for the biological battleship of the Leviathan to eat. It could replenish the materials needed by a biological battleship by consuming the remains of these battleships. There was a material decomposition factory in the Leviathan’s body that could disintegrate all kinds of battleships. It could obtain iron, bronze, and other metals from steel battleships, and proteins, carbon, water, and other items from biological battleships.

As the Leviathan was devouring the debris, a small music box floated into the command room. Wei Huo had been controlling the devouring process. That was why he had taken out some items while the battleships were decomposing.

The music box was one of them. The box floated to the command room, and everyone observed it. The structure of the music box was not complicated. It was a kind of music box that could be used with a battery.

On one side of the music box was its production date. Soon, familiar items like an alarm clock, an MP3, and some furry toys floated into the command room.

Little Xuanyue had seen these things before and had even eaten ice-cream. At that moment, she looked at the ruins in shock and said, “This place… Could it be…”

Wei Huo said, “That’s right. This is the tomb of the human fleet!”

A weird feeling entered Chen Xuanyue’s heart. However, when she saw Wei Huo’s calm expression, she could not help but wonder if he was also at the Mythical stage.

Wei Huo was not sad or teary. He was not even emotional as he watched everything calmly.

Wei Huo said, “These are all battleships that were used by humans when they migrated over 10,000 years ago. There are also some biological battleships of the Zergs and silver-white battleships of the Atlanteans. They came here in different batches. They should have experienced something here and suffered huge losses. They might have even been destroyed here.”

Wei Huo recounted everything calmly. This made the debris area terrifying. What had the human migration fleet experienced over 10,000 years ago? Had they really been destroyed here? Had humans been wiped out?
