Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 378 - Destructive Black Hole

Chapter 378: Destructive Black Hole

Had Little Xuanyue disappeared?

No one knew, and neither did Chen Xuanyue. Although Little Xuanyue was a split soul, their connection had been severed long ago. Little Xuanyue’s death could not affect Chen Xuanyue, and the same was true for her.

That day, when Chen Xuanyue opened the door, Little Xuanyue was gone. The little pixie who usually sat on the stairs and looked out at the sea had disappeared. Perhaps she had flown somewhere to play, but she had never left this place in the past few years.

Chen Xuanyue looked lonely. No one knew what she was thinking. She closed her eyes and only opened them after a while. The stairs were still empty.

Chen Xuanyue lifted her head and looked into the distance. The sky was still blue, and the sea was the same. Seagulls were circling the sea in the distance. A group of small turtles crawled out of the sand and tried their best to crawl in the sea. However, before they could go far, a few seagulls descended from the sky and took them away.

Death was everywhere…

Chen Xuanyue should be used to such things. Her mother had pa.s.sed away when she was young. Before long, her sister had pa.s.sed away as well. After that, she had used all sorts of methods to create the Mystic Yin Ice Soul Skill and had successfully frozen herself.

This action had given her hope for life. Later on, she had met Wei Huo and become a Mythical creature. In order to remove her Death Curse, she had gained an extra 7,000 years of lifespan. However, she would eventually reach the end of her lifespan unless she became a Mythical creature.

Unfortunately, to become a Mythical creature, the first thing she had to do was break the rules. The Snake G.o.d had broken the rules of the game and come to reality. Wei Huo had broken the Death Rules and survived. She had to break a rule as well, or she would not become a Mythical creature.

But how should she break it?

Chen Xuanyue had no idea.

She arrived in front of the towering tree on the prairie and sat cross-legged under it. She then closed her eyes and started waiting.

This time, she would not use her cultivation technique to freeze herself. If she died, so be it.

Chen Xuanyue was in seclusion. Just like Wei Huo had sat down at the mouth of the volcano, either she would live on as a Mythical being or die at the end of her lifespan. There was no other choice!

Time pa.s.sed quickly. After an unknown period of time, Wei Huo finally opened his eyes and said, “I found it.”

The Snake G.o.d was still studying his small universe. Upon hearing Wei Huo’s words, he asked, “Have you found the black hole?”

Wei Huo said, “Yes! I found it. The t.i.tan is flying toward the black hole.”

The Snake G.o.d said, “What is the price of destroying a black hole?”

Wei Huo said, “Once the black hole dies, the price will be devastating. A terrifying information storm will sweep one-third of the Milky Way. The speed of the information storm is infinitely close to the speed of light. Civilizations without hyperdrive engines are not even qualified to escape. Unless they have the four-dimensional contraction technology, they will not be able to resist the information storm.”

The Snake G.o.d said, “That’s a disaster.”

Wei Huo replied, “Yes.”

The two of them left the t.i.tan battles.h.i.+p and appeared in the Great Universe outside. It was pitch-black there, so they could not see anything.

The t.i.tan battles.h.i.+p had already started its hyperdrive engine. If they had been in a galaxy with many stars, the scenery around them would have been as colorful as a rainbow. However, because this was an interstellar desert and there were almost no stars in the desert, they were still surrounded by darkness as they advanced at the speed of light.

This was only what the naked eye could see. If one observed the place with a precision device, one would still see some faint lights. These lights were emitted by the stars outside the interstellar desert. However, because they were too far away, the lights had become too weak.

The Snake G.o.d looked ahead and asked, “Is that a black hole?”

The t.i.tan battles.h.i.+p’s hyperdrive engine had been turned off. They had stopped, but they could not tell if the t.i.tan battles.h.i.+p was still or moving because there was no reference point.

Wei Huo looked ahead as well. There was a strong gravitational source there. If he continued moving forward, the black-and-white battles.h.i.+p would be sucked in.

The black hole was right ahead. Black holes could not be observed because nothing could escape the attraction of the hole. However, when a black hole moved, it would cover the starlight behind it, allowing people to discover its existence.

As Mythical creatures, Wei Huo and the Snake G.o.d naturally had their own ways to discover the black hole.

The Snake G.o.d looked at the black hole and asked, “How are you going to destroy this black hole?”

Mythical creatures were in between reality and illusion, so black holes could not cause any damage to them. However, it was very difficult for Mythical creatures to harm a black hole.

Wei Huo said, “In order to destroy a healthy black hole, one has to cross time. A black hole does not defy the laws of physics. It is ultimately something within physical limits. That’s why one can destroy it with attacks that exceed the physical limits.”

Wei Huo took out his Phantom Staff and turned into a Phantom Body. The Snake G.o.d naturally knew about this Divine Artifact. It was a level-six Divine Artifact that was very powerful and could turn living creatures into Phantom Bodies.

The Snake G.o.d could no longer see Wei Huo after he turned into a Phantom. However, when the Snake G.o.d emitted his own Devouring Rule, he could find Wei Huo, as the s.p.a.ce Wei Huo was occupying was missing.

Although Phantom Ent.i.ties were existences that exceeded physical limits, they did not exceed the world limits. Therefore, they could still be detected.

The Snake G.o.d felt that Wei Huo had already entered the black hole with the Phantom Staff in his hand. The black hole could not do anything to Wei Huo because he was a Phantom Body. A Phantom Body was non-material, so it could only absorb matter from the black hole. It could not do anything to him.

Wei Huo entered the black hole’s body. As the black hole could absorb everything, including light, Wei Huo could not see or feel anything. He kept moving forward and entering the center of the black hole.

The term ‘black hole’ referred to an object with an unlimited volume and ma.s.s that could generate a strong gravitational force. Nothing within a certain range of the black hole could escape its gravitational force. Besides, everything would be sucked to the center to increase the quality of the black hole and thus increase its gravitational force.

In theory, a black hole would grow larger until it devoured everything.

However, it was inconceivable that a black hole could die. Logically speaking, a black hole should grow larger and stronger as it continued eating. Why would it die? Why would it die?

Wei Huo thought that it had probably eaten something it should not have, just like humans would be poisoned to death if they ate poison. If a black hole ate something it should not have eaten, it would probably die as well.

A black hole could devour everything, but there were some things that a black hole could not digest. For example, divine materials that were in between reality and illusion. If a black hole swallowed such things, it might think that it had indigestion problems and die.

That was what Wei Huo wanted to do. He wanted the black hole to experience indigestion. Indigestion was just a metaphor. What Wei Huo wanted to do was disrupt the balance inside the black hole.
