Chapter 984: The Long Journey
The week went by smoothly.
The day has come for us to set off for the Imperial Court Civilization.
Compared to before, there aren't many changes. The only difference is that now Xiaobai has a silver-haired dragon girl who follows him everywhere, and her persistence is astounding.
Are you really going to come along?
Xiao Bai was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
He didn't want Yuezi to follow him; he couldn't disobey Gu Heng's orders. But if Yuezi herself was willing to give up, that would be even better.
"Of course I will."
"I told you, wherever you go, I'll go too. We'll never be apart."
If Xiaobai hadn't so forcefully refused, Yuezi would be clinging to him right now.
"If Mr. Gu doesn't object, you shouldn't struggle anymore."
Yuezi's dragon eyes were still lively, and she was very shrewd, directly bringing up Gu Heng's name to completely shut Xiaobai up.
A week ago, Yuezi wasn't actually in a very easy situation. Although she had survived, she didn't dare to speculate on the thoughts of this mysterious and powerful being, and she was also a little worried that something might happen to her again.
But now, Yuezi is no longer afraid at all.
She wouldn't dare say she completely understood Mr. Gu's temperament, but at least she knew that Mr. Gu was easygoing enough and also intended to help Xiaobai get married...
He didn't explicitly say that Xiaobai was bound to Yuezi, but rather that he gave her an opportunity to pursue Xiaobai.
But having this opportunity was enough for Yuezi. She had no other advantages, except that she was good-looking and very sincere.
Given enough time, Yuezi is confident she can win over Xiaobai!
"Okay, it's time to go."
Gu Heng watched as Yue Zi smiled and snuggled up to Xiao Bai, while Xiao Bai looked helpless. He knew then that he had made the right choice.
There is a play.
The system's analysis results show that Yuezi's intense emotions could not possibly be faked.
It seems that this is indeed the case.
At least for the past week, it's clear from Gu Heng's naiveté that he's almost drowning in Yue Zi's overflowing love.
It's not like I haven't seen direct examples before.
But it's rare to see someone as direct as Yuezi.
In just one week, Yuezi tried to have in-depth conversations with Xiaobai no less than ten times, intending to get pregnant with the dragon's child right now...
According to her, it wouldn't be easy to give birth to a dragon cub.
Getting pregnant is one thing, but afterwards you still have to take good care of the dragon egg.
As for the specifics, Gu Heng didn't know much, nor did he want to know more.
If dragons are all so open about courtship, then it's quite in line with the dragon race. But on the other hand, while Yuezi is happy to pester Xiaobai, Xiaobai's life isn't so easy.
At least, Xiaobai himself felt it wasn't a good time.
Gu Heng felt that there would definitely be plenty of fun along the way.
……
Taking the inter-domain teleportation array was not troublesome. Having already paid the "usage fee," Gu Heng, Xiao Bai, and Yue Zi simply stepped inside.
Naturally, there was no one around to supervise or inspect.
Gu Heng couldn't figure out what was going on, but he was just trying to get on his way.
After entering the inter-domain teleportation array, he didn't arrive at his destination instantly, as he had expected, but instead found himself in a hazy, chaotic state.
Gu Heng entered a strange state of suspension, as if some invisible force was pulling him toward the other side.
It feels really novel.
"System, how long do we need to maintain this state?"
Gu Heng asked.
"We will arrive at the Imperial Court Civilization in seventeen days."
"It will take seventeen days? That means the journey is really long." Gu Heng exclaimed in amazement.
"If we take a Nirvana Realm life form or a level 9 transport weapon of a technological civilization as a benchmark, it would take at least three months to complete this journey by directly crossing the Phenomenon Realm Star Sea."
The system also continued to provide answers to the thoughts in Gu Heng's mind.
"Just how vast is this phenomenal world... or rather, the myriad worlds?"
He was curious.
"Difficult to calculate."
"Based on observations and field investigations by scientific and technological civilizations, the phenomenal world does not seem to have a true 'boundary.' The phenomenal world, which currently accommodates countless civilizations, seems to be only a part of a whole."
Gu Xitong's icy blue eyes flashed with complex data streams.
"..." After saying this, Gu Heng fell silent, feeling a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.
He just wanted to get a basic understanding; he didn't think much of it.
This is something he shouldn't be delving into.
I am so small, why should I consider how vast the entire universe really is?
"If the host wishes, I can allow the host to directly see the scene outside the hyperspace passage."
Gu Xitong said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng immediately nodded.
It's rare to have such beautiful scenery, so of course I have to see it. I need to stay in this state for seventeen days straight.
then.
He felt his perspective rapidly expanding.
The surrounding haze and chaos seemed to dissipate completely, and his vision was no longer obstructed. Thus, the true nature of the "Myriad Realms" was revealed to Gu Heng.
A vast sea of stars that was not pitch black, but shimmered with light.
