BXBX NOVEL Chapter 385: Cosmic Memory
Chapter 385: Cosmic Memory
The Rule of Death and the Devouring Rule spread out together. The level-nine divine artifact was the first to be affected. The two rules collided with the time rule. A moment later, the planet under their feet disintegrated. Then, an extremely huge metal ball appeared in front of everyone.
A few Legendary creatures who were about to escape asked in shock, “Is that our race’s level-nine divine artifact?”
At that moment, an old peak Legendary creature frowned. He stared at Wei Huo and the Snake God and said, “Something’s not right! What’s not right? This shouldn’t be the level of strength of a Perfected cultivator!”
A young peak Legendary creature said, “Patriarch, what are you talking about? Are we leaving the level-nine Divine Artifact behind? If we use our bloodline power...”
“Shut up!” The Patriarch berated him. “Didn’t you hear me? These two Perfected cultivators... No, there’s something wrong with them. They shouldn’t be this strong.”
At that moment, the time fault’s range started shrinking. Wei Huo and the Snake God’s Rule Power were consuming the Rule Power of the level-nine Divine Artifact.
The Patriarch shouted in disbelief when he saw this scene. “What... What’s going on? Why can their strength increase indefinitely?”
The Patriarch’s expression changed drastically. He seemed to have thought of an extremely terrifying existence. He then mumbled, “That’s not right. They... are not existences of this world. However, why aren’t they rejected by the world? Why?”
Wei Huo and the Snake God heard the Patriarch’s words. The Snake God said, “He’s right. After all, I appeared in this world after breaking the barrier of the game world.”
Wei Huo said, “That’s weird. I thought Mythical strength could increase indefinitely. Don’t tell me Mythical creatures can be divided into early-stage, middle-stage, and late-stage ones. If they could increase indefinitely, this kind of distribution method would be too boring.”
As soon as Wei Huo finished his sentence, the Patriarch said in fear, “That’s impossible. Did you see that? The two of them were only at the third Firmament of the Perfected level previously, but they’re now already at the fourth Firmament of the Perfected level? How could their strength improve so quickly?”
A young man said, “Patriarch, three Devourers have disappeared. There’s a gap there. Let’s escape!”
The Patriarch stopped him and said, “No, I have a hunch that if our race wants to survive, we might have to rely on these two Perfected cultivators.”
“Your hunch is right!” Wei Huo said. The gigantic metal ball shrank and landed in his hand. Soon, the time gap that had enveloped the starry sky disappeared.
Endless Devourers kept approaching them, but they disappeared one after another at a shocking speed.
The Patriarch looked at the small metal ball in Wei Huo’s hand and stayed silent. No one would have thought that the Forbidden Death Zone would be caused by the small metal ball. However, at that moment, the metal ball was already in Wei Huo’s hands.
Wei Huo looked at the group of people preparing to leave the planet. They were only about 50,000 to 60,000 people, but there were 17 peak Legendary creatures and over 100 late-stage Legendary creatures among them. Even children under the age of 10 had reached the Epic stage, and newborn children were all Rare-ranked.
Wei Huo asked their Patriarch, “What race are you from?”
The Patriarch said, “You probably haven’t heard of this before. We were a super-race that restarted the world. We were known as an invincible fighting race. In the past, many civilizations compared us to the sky. We used a phrase to describe our race. It was called ‘Spirit Firmament’. However, after coming to this universe, we changed our name to ‘Skyfall’. At the peak of our race, two Perfected cultivators were born. At the time, our Spirit Firmament Palace was the most supreme existence in the entire universe. However, when the universe died, everything was destroyed.”
Wei Huo asked the Snake God, “What do you think?”
The Snake God said, “They are very valuable. The world rejects them because they are creatures that have surpassed the limits of the world. What are their bodies made of? Are they also made of cells and DNA? I’m curious!”
The Snake God looked like he wanted to slice them up and study them, thus scaring many children in the tribe.
Wei Huo said, “Speaking of that, I’ve met members of the Skyfall Race before. However, they were not rejected by the world like you guys.”
Wei Huo and the Snake God mentioned the repulsive force of the world repeatedly. The Patriarch then understood that the two Perfected cultivators had used the rules to help them block the repulsive force of the world. Otherwise, they would have been killed by the repulsive force of the world, just like an immune system attacking a virus.
Only then did the Patriarch understand that their lives had fallen into the hands of the two Perfected cultivators. However, he was also confused. Were they really Perfected cultivators? It was impossible for a Perfected cultivator to increase their strength indefinitely, right?
The Patriarch replied, “The Skyfall Race you’re talking about should not have a direct relationship with us. Our body parts are different from this world. Once we’re exposed to it, we will be blasted into pieces by the repulsive force of the world. Not even any scraps will be left. The Skyfall Race you’re talking about might be a new Skyfall Race that was reconstructed because of the memories of the universe.”
Wei Huo and the Snake God were interested. The Devourers surrounding them disappeared one after another. However, God’s desire for knowledge had to be satisfied first.
The patriarch said, “Cell proliferation, animal production, and the birth of pocket universes all follow a certain pattern. First, there’s genetic material. Then, there’s memory hidden in the genetic material. Pocket universes are very similar to the universe that died previously. This is the effect of genetic material. A portion of the races in the previous universe will be replicated and will reappear in the pocket universe. This is the effect of cosmic memory. It’s just like the way myopia is inherited by the next generation or a scar on the mother will also be inherited as a birthmark.”
Wei Huo glanced at the Snake God, who took out the pocket universe. The Snake God said, “I see. Something like that actually happened? However, the pocket universe in my hand will not produce a new universe.”
The Patriarch said, “Of course. The pocket universe in your hand doesn’t have a soul. It can only be considered a replica. If it was a living universe, perhaps...”
The Patriarch hesitated. Wei Huo and the Snake God knew what he wanted to say. It would be terrible if a living universe was controlled by them. That way, they could create countless universes through the rules generated by the universe. In that case, their race could survive in one new universe after another forever.
However, the Snake God’s pocket universe could not do that. It was a pocket universe that had been intercepted by a universe. If the large universe died, the pocket universe would disappear as well.
