Chapter 1368: Chapter 654: Black Hidden Special Service Ship

Seeking the threads to find the way, jumping sides to hijack ships, killing and looting—these things are naturally not difficult for Tie Dan, but crossing the Void is.

Tie Dan truly does not enjoy roaming the Void.

He’s not quite sure how he got to Mars, but Yazi also seemed to dislike that journey, going crazy and raising hell, taking five hundred years to settle down. So Tie Dan is vaguely resistant to flying back to Earth himself, insisting on finding a ship.

Previously, his physically hardened body was kidnapped by the bald-headed ladies of the legion; Tie Dan himself bravely tried once, allowing his Primordial Spirit to roam the Void, achieving instant resonance with Yazi. Honestly, it was not a pleasant experience.

Imagine being in a place without limit, depth, boundary, or light, surrounded from all sides by an untouchable, invisible, inaudible void, much like a person whose eyes were dug out, ears gouged, nose blocked, limbs severed, and carved into a stump floating in a jar, yet stubbornly refusing to die, unable to shout or sound a call, unable to feel or touch anything.

No matter how far you spread your Divine Sense, no matter how sharp you condense your Sword Intent, you cannot break through this void, as if you’re swinging at air with all your might, as if drowning and reaching desperately for the distant shore, until your hand grows longer, breaks, shatters, and dismembers.

Yet you touch nothing, grab nothing, do nothing but eternally drown in this vast void until that named human existence fragments and fades away, scattered in eternal void after countless years.

That’s the level of torment.

Of course, Tie Dan fares slightly better, at least relying on his bond with Yazi to sense direction, maintaining his sanity through the weak interaction between Luo Hou Yao and Jidu Yao, though he inevitably bumps around in the void like a headless fly. Just when he thought he’d lost in the void, drowning in the endless vacuum, he clutched at a spider’s thread, climbing out from the quagmire of the bottomless Void Abyss.

Honestly, even Tie Dan, who prides himself on being a person with a Daoist Heart as hard as iron, doesn’t want to go on another Void journey. Although it seems like only a few days, it almost gave him PTSD. His Daoist Heart and spirit nearly collapsed, as if he wasn’t himself. If Spider Xi hadn’t intervened, forcing him to chat and exchange pleasantries, keeping Tie Dan’s emotions stable, he might have been triggered, exploding into a fury, unleashing Sword Qi with Yazi, killing the legion.

Of course, now being saved, he still wishes to ditch them, making him quite the jerk, ahem...

So this time, Tie Dan bravely steps out of the hatch to jump the plank, fearing that the spider thread might slip, allowing him to fall into the bottomless Void Abyss, gripping tightly onto Hou Gu, at least having company, causing him to cry out in pain.

However, fortunately, the superluminal jump track and the Void Abyss are entirely different scenes.

Colored pipes, or...stretched soap bubbles?

Hmm, in the endless deep sea, there’s a colorful, translucent twisted pipe, that’s the impression the jump track gives Tie Dan.

To be clearer, the Jizhou appears motionless, the direction the bow heads towards is a dazzling blue-white spot of light, as if many blue-white Suns were slowly approaching them, which presumably are the forks and exits of the superluminal passage.

Beside the Titan’s flanks is a curved starry sky, as if the surrounding space is like a semi-transparent glass tube, the entire universe is flowing outside the tube like a river, the distant deep space resembling velvet satin, the stars stretched into thin threads, like a sight one might see after a high dose of Lingzhi.

Starlight flows like a liquid, coating the glass tube with a rainbow-like film, transitioning from blue-white to orange-red, dark red, pure black, until all light is seemingly erased like a rubber, falling into the abyss of void.

Tie Dan glanced at the void behind him, suppressing the inexplicable panic in his heart, focusing on the spider thread, at this moment, those threads, encrusted with soul crystal like corpse oil, are clearly visible under the blue-white glow.

Alright, forget about any scientific or fantasy settings, just rush ahead, chop everyone you see!

Soon, Tie Dan clutched the thread, tunneling into the distant blue light.

"Bang!"

"Splash!"

A fist blasted open the hatch cover, Tie Dan opened his eyes, standing up from the familiar orange-red solution.

Quantum communication cabin?

Indeed, it is the long-lost quantum communication cabin, though the design is slightly different, but essentially resembling a transparent bathtub, immersing a human with a plethora of pipelines into an orange-red oil similar to formaldehyde.

Although it seems not entirely human.

Tie Dan turned his head to look at the communication cabin beside him, he can see through the transparent synthetic resin cabin body that inside is soaking a human-like skeleton, muscles, organs, and body tissues seemingly completely dissolved in LCL nutrient solution, leaving only a skeleton made of Tri-titanium Alloy with some metal prosthetic attachments, whereas the skull is crammed in a horse-faced helmet.

At this time, the other side is also ’waking up,’ though not as quickly as Tie Dan, but visible to the naked eye, human spinal nerves sprout slowly from the helmet like bean sprouts, climbing along the skeleton as if attaching to a grape trellis, creating blood and flesh fruits like magic, gathering into human internal organs like clustered grapes.
