Chapter 645 - 1: Gu Ningxuan’s Otherworldly Travels (Part 1)

Gu Ningxuan just felt that his luck had been unbelievably bad lately, or since that life-changing disaster, the Goddess of Fortune had never visited him again. Instead, it was the Goddess of Misfortune lingering around him... it was a streak of bad luck to the extreme!

He cheerfully boarded the flight back to Qiming Star, full of joy, imagining how to meet Su Jiameng again, thinking about what to say or do to earn her understanding and forgiveness, and how to explain to the two buns that he was actually their real dad.

He would strive to be a competent father, teach them to operate Mechas, take them to school, bring them to the amusement park during holidays, or accompany them to watch their favorite melodramatic romances, and if they were bullied, he would stand up for them...

He had envisioned various scenarios, even considering that if he couldn’t win the forgiveness of the three, he would secretly guard them, and as long as they lived safely and happily within his sight, that would be enough for him.

Recalling Su Jiameng’s temper, he even contemplated that if she ran up to him in anger for a fight, he wouldn’t retaliate as long as it extinguished her anger, he would accept any means she used to vent her fury...

Gu Ningxuan’s mind was in chaos, but his visions of the future never ceased, and even on the first day of the journey, he couldn’t help complaining about the warship’s slow speed. If the voyage was smooth, it would take months before he’d meet Su Jiameng.

However, the unpredictable always happens, and tragic people always encounter various tragedies. When Gu Ningxuan heard over the broadcast that this warship had been hijacked by the Star Thieves of the Jialanluo Clan, and those Star Thieves intended to enslave everyone on this warship, he was so furious his hands and feet turned cold and he trembled. So, when he saw a Star Thief, he began attacking without hesitation!

Though his combat prowess was impressive and had risen significantly after his Mind Awakening, it was an awakening forced through telekinesis, and his body still needed time to adapt. Therefore, the combat strength he could actually exert was only a bit higher than his previous peak.

Using the advantage of a surprise attack, Gu Ningxuan quickly wiped out a squad of Star Thieves, thoroughly angering the group of Jialanluo Star Thieves. Two fists couldn’t handle four hands, though he could fight, but due to limited space and facing a group of hacked Jialanluo, he had to temporarily retreat, hiding in other parts of the warship, waiting for a chance to strike or escape the warship.

But you know, once a person’s down on luck, even drinking water would get a tooth stuck. After playing hide and seek with those Star Thieves for two days and taking out another squad, the warship encountered an extremely rare cosmic turbulence black hole! If it weren’t for Gu Ningxuan’s dislike for swearing and his good upbringing since childhood, he would be cursing his ancestors by now.

Cosmic turbulence black holes aren’t the same as regular wormholes; they are exceedingly dangerous and if swallowed, there’s no coming out, with a death rate of 100%. Encountering such a thing in cosmic navigation is as likely as winning the lottery ten times in a row.

This warship was merely a civilian one, so naturally, it didn’t have much defensive equipment. The Star Thieves dismantled the few remaining defensive devices to prevent their prey from escaping, leaving the warship like a plucked lamb unable to withstand the gaping maw of the cosmic turbulence black hole. Everyone on the warship despaired.

Gu Ningxuan watched as the two Star Thief warships escorting the warship fled, not even caring about their comrades on the civilian warship. One entire warship was sucked into the cosmic turbulence black hole by enormous gravitational forces, yet those guys narrowly escaped, barely getting out of the gravitational zone.

Entering the turbulence black hole, the warship was repeatedly struck by powerful meteors, and at this rate, the whole warship would fall apart within days. Of course, this wasn’t the worst... because the worst was yet to come.

The warship’s energy system was wrecked by a massive meteor, leading to energy leakage and a complete collapse of all supplies. From one perspective, everyone was about to start going hungry, and the oxygen supply was about to be cut off... If a meteor breached the atmospheric isolation layer of the warship, everyone here would likely be torn into the black hole, with their bodies being ripped apart from the inside out by pressure!
