Chapter 374: A Small Coffin
Wei Huo unified the Star Field and obtained a cell from each civilization. He wanted to study the DNA of these cells and find the ancient memories hidden in them.
Then, he pieced these memories together like a puzzle and restored everything that had happened in 15,000 years.
This was a huge project. Even God could not do it overnight. However, Wei Huo had endless time. He could devote himself to this project.
The Snake God fell into a deep sleep after a full meal. He still retained many of his habits from when he had been a gluttonous snake. He only ate, slept, and ate again. Just like most creatures in nature, this was his instinct. It was very common. It was actually unusual for creatures not to eat or sleep.
The two Mythical creatures did not care about the newly-established Gods’ race at all. They were completely at ease with this race.
As time passed, the various civilizations and races gradually fused. The hatred between the various races dissipated over time.
Names such as Trileaf Pirates, Multi-Eyed Race, and Intergalactic Alliance gradually disappeared in the long river of history. Many years later, the captain of the Trileaf Pirates, who had been hugging the iron box tightly, reached the end of his lifespan.
He was no longer the captain of the Trileaf Pirates by then. Now that the Gods’ race had been established, he had become the commander of the Gods’ fleet. Because the Star Field was unified and the powerful Gods did not have any enemies, he had only been wasting his time in this position. He had only practiced once in a while. There were no major battles in this Star Field until his death.
However, what many young people did not understand was that he was still holding an iron box in his hand. If anyone asked about the origins of the iron box, the commander would reprimand that person with a serious expression. This made others even more afraid to ask about the iron box.
The day he died, his descendants finally separated him from the iron box. Then, they hired many scientists to analyze the iron box. However, according to the result, it was just an ordinary iron box. There was nothing strange about it.
Only three people had known that the captain had entered the Holy Domain civilization with the iron box. Of course, they had not been qualified to meet Wei Huo. Although the female general of the Zergs knew a little, she did not know the inside story. Now, the captain had taken this secret to his grave.
No one knew what had happened back then. The iron box had been kept as a family heirloom. No one knew what kind of earth-shattering item had been in the box. Back then, the item in the box had destroyed a powerful civilization and turned three star systems into a Forbidden Death Zone. No one had dared to enter that zone.
However, if someone understood the secret, they might be able to enter the Forbidden Death Zone with the iron box and drive the Holy Domain civilization’s Titan battleship out. Unfortunately, Wei Huo, who knew the secret, was not interested in the Titan battleship.
Time continued to move forward. Most of the people who had witnessed the Gods’ unifying war had died because their lifespans had reached their end. New generations were constantly being born. They kept expanding and colonizing some deserted galaxies. The strength of the Gods was also growing, and experts emerged one after another.
Gradually, the Gods’ race filled up with Legendary creatures. There were as many Epic-ranked creatures as there were dogs, but there was only one peak Legendary creature. That was Chen Xuanyue, who was the real empress who controlled the Gods’ race.
However, one day, Chen Xuanyue suddenly announced to the outside world that she wanted to leave her position as the supreme commander of the Gods and let the higher-ups and the Elders elect the next supreme commander.
Many Gods were worried. Could Chen Xuanyue have reached the end of her lifespan?
The Gods’ race came from all sorts of weird races, including the mechanical race, the interstellar races, the ancient human race, and other races. Due to the light of God, the reproductive isolation between them had been eliminated. People of different races could get married and have children as long as they loved each other.
A long time ago, everyone had called this race a fallen civilization and condemned this civilization that challenged the laws of nature. However, now, everyone belonged to the same race. No one would think that this was wrong. Besides, no one felt that people could not get married just because they looked different.
In this civilization, if one was truly in love with someone, one did not care about their appearance. Countless races were mixed together, and their aesthetics had long been shattered. No one thought that having four eyes was ugly, and no one thought that having six or seven arms was weird.
The Gods had become a very inclusive race, but there was a strict hierarchy in this race. The Gods respected the strong. The stronger one was, the higher one’s status would be and the more power one would have.
It was precisely this strict hierarchical system that caused the Gods to continuously produce experts. However, the disadvantage of this system was revealed after Chen Xuanyue abdicated. Every expert wanted to become the highest commander. No one was willing to give in to the others, so they quickly started fighting internally. During the time of this change, the mortality rate of the Gods suddenly soared.
However, that had nothing to do with Chen Xuanyue. She had abdicated because she had been following Wei Huo for 3,500 years. According to the agreement, she no longer needed to work under Wei Huo. She was free now.
However, Chen Xuanyue did not know where she should go.
She had not seen Wei Huo in 3,500 years. She had listened to his orders and become the highest commander of the Gods. It had been 3,500 years ever since. Only now could she let go of this burden and get back her freedom.
Over the past 3,500 years, Chen Xuanyue had been deeply worried. If she was not able to become a Mythical creature, did that mean that she could only die after 3,500 years?
That was certain. Chen Xuanyue did not have any confidence in herself. She believed that she could not reach the Mythical stage. This realm could not be reached through talent or hard work. If she did not understand the secrets behind it, she would never break through this realm.
Little Xuanyue had always been by her side, but she had started to grow silent. Most of the time, she would sit on Chen Xuanyue’s shoulder and stare into the distance as if she was reminiscing about something.
Little Xuanyue’s lifespan was shorter than Chen Xuanyue’s. Chen Xuanyue had frozen herself after cutting her out. Although Little Xuanyue could freeze herself as well, she had to unfreeze from time to time because she had to take care of the frozen Chen Xuanyue.
That was why Little Xuanyue’s lifespan was about to be exhausted. Any living creature in this world would die one day as long as they did not become a god. A spirit body was no exception.
After Chen Xuanyue let go of this heavy responsibility, Little Xuanyue slowly regained her senses and said, “I don’t have much time left… Don’t freeze me.”
Chen Xuanyue said, “I’ll take you to Wei Huo.”
Little Xuanyue smiled and said, “It’s useless. I can only pass this level by myself. However, I’m a spirit body and a wisp of my soul. It’s impossible for me to become a Mythical creature.”
Chen Xuanyue closed her eyes. She, who was usually emotionless, suddenly felt emotional. Her heart was trembling.
Little Xuanyue said, “Help me make a small coffin…”
