Chapter 508
Time flows.
Stars change.
The vast universe is constantly in motion, with various mysterious celestial bodies, some violent, some scorching, but appearing unusually calm within the entire cosmic environment.
Countless miraculous stars, countless intelligent civilizations, are born, develop, explore, despair, and perish.
None have ever grasped a corner of the universe's secret.
In countless corners of the planets, there have been doubts about the universe, but answers have never been obtained.
However, the answers have always been there!
Every part of the universe has corresponding answers.
Unfortunately, the complete answers, like a long dissertation, have been fragmented into countless words, scattered throughout the universe.
No one has ever been able to collect them and piece them together into a complete answer.
Will someone be able to piece together these fragments?
Once pieced together and deciphered, what will happen?
Unknown...
After the destruction of his body, which had been tempered for three hundred years, Su Hao's consciousness extinguished. The consciousness information stored in the pinball space disconnected from the synchronized connection with the cultivation world and fell into silence once again.
It's unknown how long it passed, but the silent consciousness stirred.
Like a small flame thrown into a haystack, the fire spread, quickly engulfing everything it could reach, burning fiercely.
It was precisely when the flames were raging.
A boy of about twelve years old, sitting against the wall, covered with a piece of torn cloth, seemed to be asleep, but at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"This is..."
The surrounding scene gradually came into view.
"I am..."
Sensation returned to his limbs.
"Su Hao!"
Selective information loading, Su Hao's autonomous consciousness gradually awakened.
He quickly understood everything: "I, have been reincarnated again!"
However, Su Hao didn't even have time to check the information in the pinball space, to perceive his own state, or to reflect on the profound impact and life insights from the death of the previous world...
He was captivated by the scene before him.
He couldn't help but murmur, "What is this?"
It was dusk, with dim light, and he was sitting in a concealed corner of the street, leaning against the wall.
The street was empty, adorned with many antique-style street lamps, which were just lighting up, emitting a dim yellowish light.
Su Hao immediately recognized the street style of the steam era.
But that wasn't the point; the point was that the scenes his eyes beheld were all bizarre and distorted.
The dark stone walls, with many stains and spots, resembled a piece of cloth, randomly creased and twisted, constantly changing shapes before his eyes;
The ground beneath him, made of soil, undulated like waves in the ocean;
The pipes and tools in sight, wooden racks, barrels, all undulated and rotated along with the ground...
It was as if one would see after spinning around in one place for ten or eight rounds.
It was as if the whole world was composed of fantasies, unreal, and hazy.
Su Hao raised his hand, slightly blackish in color, with a little gloss, but felt extremely withered to the touch.
"The arm is completely normal, without any distortion, indicating it's not a visual problem..."
He steadied himself first, then removed the tattered cloth from his body, and slowly stood up, supporting himself against the wall.
"My body is strong, not weak, indicating that the basic biological material support is not a problem. As long as I wait for a moment, I can completely control it. Moreover, my entire body doesn't appear distorted visually, so what I see, what exactly is it?"
Since he didn't know what was happening, he didn't plan to act rashly, but rather to watch and preserve himself as much as possible.
He was very interested in this world.
But now that he had just been reincarnated, this body was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person's. It couldn't be said to have any self-defense ability, and any minor accident could result in his immediate death.
"This world seems quite interesting! Give me half a year, and surely..."
"Click~"
Before Su Hao could be filled with confidence and plan his future, he heard a slight noise from across the street, and Su Hao looked over in that direction.
He saw a middle-aged woman panicking as she propped up the fallen wooden board, shielding her somewhat bulky body behind it, hiding once again.
Believe it or not, in this situation where the whole world was distorted, one might not even notice the other party if they weren't paying attention.
Then Su Hao was surprised because he suddenly realized that it wasn't just that middle-aged woman hiding, but there were many people, each finding their own place to hide on the street.
Their hiding skills were superb; at first glance, they were nowhere to be found.
Just as he was surprised, five grotesque quadrupedal beasts with hideous faces suddenly emerged from the corner and stopped in front of Su Hao.
These five-headed quadruped beasts had mouths like wolves, bodies like yaks, legs like eagles, and tails like snakes, all brown in color.
Extremely bizarre.
But they ran exceptionally fast, and on such a distorted and undulating ground, it was as if they were walking on flat ground.
Their eyes were like red light bulbs, scanning the surroundings, seemingly searching for prey.
They soon locked onto the defenseless Su Hao.
It was at this moment that Su Hao noticed the tattered cloth he had casually thrown aside, and he understood why his original body had draped this piece of cloth over himself...
It turns out it's not for sleeping and keeping warm, but for concealing and hiding one's figure.
He muttered to himself: "Is this because of being strong for over three hundred years, getting used to it? In the conservative self-preservation rules just after reincarnation, there's a rule 'do not easily change the current state when the situation is unclear', and now even this is forgotten, it's really..."
At this moment, Su Hao really wanted to ask, is it still possible to cover the tattered cloth back in time?
How would he know if he didn't try it!
So Su Hao slowly bent down, lifted the tattered cloth, and held it in front of himself...
The five monsters: "..."
Does he think they're blind or stupid? Unable to endure any longer, the five monsters roared and pounced towards Su Hao.
Su Hao even saw the glance from that auntie on the opposite side, and couldn't bear to close his eyes.
"So, I've been discovered after all? Hey!"
He suddenly threw the tattered cloth forward, covering the head of the leading monster perfectly, then swiftly dodged to the side, casually grabbing the double-pointed spear placed nearby.
His superb balance ability allowed him to ignore the undulating ground and distorted vision. With a backward thrust, the spear pierced directly into the red eyes of one monster.
"Pluff!"
A strange muffled sound, like a water-filled balloon being pierced, burst open with juice splattering.
Su Hao withdrew the spear, dodging a gaping mouth full of sharp teeth, and raised his hand to knock the spear handle upward.
"Boom!"
With a dull sound, the entire head of the monster vibrated violently, then slumped to the ground limply.
"Hmm?"
Su Hao suddenly noticed that the two monsters he had attacked with the spear had actually turned into mist and dissipated!
Without much thought, Su Hao controlled his new body, swiftly maneuvering around, using the undulating ground as his leverage. With one spear for each, he quickly dispersed the remaining three monsters into brown mist one by one.
The whole process was smooth and swift, leaving the people hiding in various places dumbfounded.
What kind of high-end operation was this?
"Chirp, chirp, chirp~!"
Just as Su Hao finished off the last monster and the monsters gradually turned into mist, from one side of the street, a fully armed girl staggered out, her entire body in a state of alertness, observing her surroundings. She spoke in a cosmic language that Su Hao couldn't understand, with a look of astonishment on her face.
She obviously saw Su Hao's final move.
The girl had a wheat-colored complexion, a delicate and beautiful face, clad in metal armor, appearing very heroic. She held a sharp spear in her right hand and a huge iron gauntlet in her left, covering her entire forearm, struggling to maintain balance on the distorted street.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly delicate girl, clad in heavy armor, could run so fast.
Su Hao didn't know what the other party was saying, so he pretended not to see her, turned around, put the spear back in place, then steadily walked back to the original corner, picked up the tattered cloth, shook it off, and held it up in front of himself.
As long as I can't see you, you can't see me, and then we part ways here.
The girl stared blankly at Su Hao's actions, unable to speak for a moment.
Perhaps affected by the commotion just now, more than a dozen monsters ran out from various streets again, roaring and rushing towards the girl standing in the middle.
The girl remained fearless.
"%￥#&!" She shouted, as if calling out the name of a move, then her left fist slammed fiercely onto the ground.
"Boom!"
The sound of metal gauntlet colliding with the ground echoed.
"Puff, puff, puff!"
Sharp metal spikes flashed out, intersecting and stabbing forward from under the girl's fist, dissolving the monsters one by one after being hit.
However, even more monsters with sharp fangs revealed themselves and pounced towards her.
The girl stood up, and with a swipe of her right hand spear, a large number of steel needles shot out from the spear, dispersing the approaching monsters.
Then she stole a glance at the crude tattered cloth and the two feet exposed outside, couldn't help but mutter to herself: "What's wrong with this guy? Why isn't he coming out to help?"
