Chapter 181: Destiny

Time in the Universe was connected by events that had already happened, were happening, and were about to happen. At first glance, it seemed that because of the existence of the law of causality, the irreversibility of time was also confirmed.

But Lenna forcefully took Lin Lei back to the past. Before Lin Lei became a Pan-dimensional Creature, this kind of thing was incomprehensible. His Will intensity simply did not support calculating such a massive amount of data.

How should one put it? This should be considered the limit of hardware conditions. Just like a human brain, you cannot require it to surpass a Supercomputer in terms of speed during digital calculations.

As for the claim that the utilization rate of the human brain is only 5%, which sounds very emphatic, it is merely a rumor without any scientific basis. It is just a manifestation of human vanity.

This is very easy to understand. Nature selects the fittest. In the early stages of the rise of intelligent beings, it was impossible to permit such a massive waste of bodily resources!

Can you imagine an ancient person who could not even get enough food and clothing, whose survival was a problem, and you say his brain development rate is less than 5%? Isn’t that extremely absurd?

But once Lin Lei became a Pan-dimensional Creature, his understanding of time reached a brand new height!

In this Universe, the chain of time strung together by the law of causality did not function in a single direction. Cause and effect were not in a relationship of determining and being determined, but rather influenced each other. It was just that for certain reasons, the vision of intelligent beings for the future was far worse than for the past.

The current Lin Lei was living in a past that was passable relative to himself! regarding this Universe, without interference from him and Lenna, he completely knew the development of future events and could accurately predict it to within a nanosecond.

So on what basis did Lin Lei distinguish this point? Aside from his memories, he also vaguely felt the characteristics of this period of “past time” for him.

This period of time was in a wondrous state between certainty and uncertainty. That was right, the general trend of this time period was determined, but it would ultimately conclude in a battle scene with the Blood-colored Abyss!

The details within it could allow Lin Lei to obtain a small amount of free authority. In certain matters, he could even sculpt the details at will.

Just like at this moment, Lin Lei’s Split Will was located in the outer space of the Blue Rain Star. This Split Will had not formed a material body; it simply entangled some free energy and left it at that.

He was in a pure state of observation, and basically, no one would be able to detect him.

Of course, he was outside the Blue Rain Star not for fun, because beside him was a blue, crude scientific research spaceship. This spaceship was only fifty meters long and formed by tangled arcs, making its shape look a bit like an “∞”.

The reason for calling the spaceship crude was not its strange shape. It was because, after Lin Lei observed this spaceship, he found that its Protective Force Field was extremely weak. Moreover, most of its engine was actually exposed to space like that, and doing so was just to save space inside the ship.

One had to know, this engine was not something from a low-level civilization that still needed a nozzle for initial acceleration. Being exposed was a last resort. This was a high-Curvature Engine, and having no additional Protective Force Field added to it was simply terrible.

Lin Lei could be certain that if it passed near a star, this spaceship would face immediate destruction and death for all on board as long as it encountered a slightly violent stellar storm.

The group of young people inside the spaceship dared to pilot such a vessel and travel all the way to this Savage Planet. They were truly newborn calves not afraid of tigers.

However, this evaluation was only directed at the other people in the spaceship. For Lin Lei’s observation target, a young woman, she was absolutely insulated from evaluations like impulsiveness or bravery.

Because Lin Lei was very, very familiar with her, for she was Fuweili.

…

Fuweili had come this time entirely because she was coerced by a group of friends. They were all young people, in the prime of their youth, and all wanted to venture out in the Universe.

Thus, these hot-headed young people had scraped together a miniature spaceship. They didn’t make any sufficient preparations and just came running over. They had crossed hundreds of Light Years midway, and incredibly, nothing had gone wrong!

Inside the spaceship, Fuweili was not in a good mood. She whispered her complaints to her good friend Reinel standing beside her with some worry: “Reinel, I don’t think there’s anything good to observe on this Savage Planet. The data for this planet is all on the Galaxy public network. Why do we have to make this trip?”

Reinel was a little over-excited. She said to Fuweili exaggeratedly: “Weini, our ambition is to be planet pioneers! Although the knowledge on the network is comprehensive, if we rely solely on that without real experience, we won’t achieve great things in a lifetime. So, this trip is necessary!”

“But this spaceship is unreliable! It’s too small. There are eight of us, and the rooms on the ship are ridiculously small. Also, the food is hard to swallow, and there’s a weird smell in the air!” Fuweili complained about the trivial details on the spaceship.

Actually, she didn’t care much about these things, but she just wanted to say that this spaceship was certainly not reliable and gave no sense of security.

“Alright, alright, Weini, you are too pampered. We’ve only been out for less than half a month. Although this spaceship is poor, it belongs entirely to us. If you keep saying that, Greg will get angry if he hears. This is his hard work!”

Reinel pointed at the young man not far away who was busy monitoring the spaceship’s status, reminding Fuweili.

Indeed, as young people who had just graduated from the Apocalypse Three Star Biological Academy, for them to have nothing and assemble such a spaceship from scratch was already impressive, and Greg had performed meritorious service in it.

Fuweili glanced at the boy who was working attentively. There was some blush on her face. She nodded gently as a response to Reinel.

However, her good friend was not someone to be trifled with. Every time she mentioned Greg, Fuweili would immediately stop complaining and reveal a girlish attitude. She smirked and leaned close to Fuweili’s ear, saying: “Hey, Your Highness the Princess, do you have a prince belonging to you in your heart?”

As she spoke, she also cast a few glances at Greg.

The young man named Greg seemed to sense something. He raised his head, smiled in this direction, and then buried his head in his work again.

Fuweili smiled back, but her face darkened because of hearing her friend’s words: “My uncle won’t agree.”

Reinel curled her lips and said disdainfully: “I really don’t understand why you are so afraid of that old antique!”

Fuweili did not reply. At this time, the troubles of reality suppressed the slight romantic thoughts in her heart. She sighed, turned around to look at the deep starry sky outside the spaceship, and fell into silence.

Seeing this situation, Reinel didn’t stay here either, but excitedly went to observe the ecology of the Blue Rain Star below.

Lin Lei, who was in a thin energy state, was right outside the spaceship window. Looking at Fuweili’s young face, he couldn’t help but smile.

His Fuweili was still a green girl, with the worries and sorrows of an ordinary girl.

Lin Lei’s gaze passed over the girl by the window and landed on the young man behind her.

This young man’s appearance was not very good-looking, but his attitude was very focused when doing things. According to the information he just obtained, this spaceship was assembled by him. In this case, he was indeed a talented youth. It was no wonder that Fuweili’s feeling towards him was somewhat different now.

Just look at her close friend Reinel, wasn’t she always clinging to Greg as well?

Lin Lei’s heart did not waver at all, because no matter how talented a young person was, they would encounter the full stop of life today. There was no need for him to be jealous of a young person who was about to pass away.

This was the trajectory of destiny, not something an ordinary Carbon-based Life could resist. When fate arrives, weak lives can only passively endure it!

The spatial vortex that Fuweili had spoken of before appeared near this crude spaceship on time.

Lin Lei carefully observed this messenger of disaster that descended from the sky and found that it was just a very common gravitational fluctuation when the Blue Rain Star revolved around a massive liquid planet.

But the spaceship’s protection was too weak. Lin Lei could even see the key part of the Warp Engine at the end of the “∞” shape suddenly turn into powder under the action of the gravitational vortex. This was truly a tragedy!

The Warp Engine was not a gentle guy, especially this kind of high-Curvature engine. Once the energy flowing inside lost control, it was enough to flatten Mount Everest on Earth.

Energy inevitably began to leak.

At this time, Fuweili standing by the window had not yet discovered the arrival of the disaster, but Greg turned pale with fright. He suddenly stood up and rushed towards the only escape pod of the spaceship!

He knew the seriousness of the problem and couldn’t care about others anymore. Escaping with his own life was the priority!

No one was more familiar with this spaceship than him, so when he ran towards the escape pod, the remaining seven people just looked at him in astonishment.

Reinel even asked strangely: “Greg, what’s wrong?”

But the next moment, she didn’t need to know the reason. The energy flow suddenly leaking from the energy pipe rushed through her body, immediately evaporating her into nothingness.

The temperature inside the spaceship rose sharply!

When Fuweili turned her head, she just saw the scene of her friend being swallowed by the energy flow. She screamed desperately.

Sure enough, the premonition in her heart came true. The spaceship had malfunctioned, and it was a catastrophic failure.

Less than 2 seconds had passed when multiple energy flows filled the spaceship cabin. The entire cabin became a sea of fire!

Fuweili was wearing an auxiliary suit, which could resist the high temperature for a while, but her hair was curled up by the high heat and was about to catch fire.

Outside the spaceship, Lin Lei sighed. It seemed that his appearance had still affected certain processes. From the current situation, if he didn’t make a move, Fuweili would be swallowed by the flames in the next second.

Inside the cabin, Fuweili was already in despair. In this vast Universe, she had nowhere to escape!

But just as a cluster of blue-white extremely high-temperature flames was about to pounce on her face, the flames in her eyes suddenly slowed down and then came to a stop.

In Fuweili’s eyes, the temperature of the clusters of flames suddenly dropped. Their color did not change; they were still blue-white, but they no longer had the power to devour. Instead, they became like ice flowers.

“Is this an illusion when nearing death?” Fuweili asked herself.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Fuweili didn’t know, but she immediately discovered that the “ice flowers” stagnant in front of her eyes moved aside, making way for a passage, a passage for escape!

Fuweili did not hesitate and ran directly towards the passage. She didn’t know why this situation occurred, but she followed her instincts.

She moved forward along the passage, passed through the arc-shaped cabin, and arrived in front of a room.

In front of the room, there was a stagnant person. It was Greg. At this moment, he was pulling the door with one hand. His expression was very anxious and panicked, and also in pain!

The source of the pain was not his self-blame in his heart, but a white ice flower suddenly spraying from the cabin wall, swallowing half of his body.

Of course, at this moment, he was also weirdly stagnant there.

For this person who escaped alone and didn’t even have the act of reminding his companions, Fuweili’s affection for Greg immediately vanished completely. Moreover, this young man was already dead at this time. No one could survive after losing half of their body!

Out of an instinct, Fuweili pulled open the room door and ran in.

In her extremely nervous state, she didn’t notice that the door behind her closed silently. At the same time, this room turned into an independent cabin and detached from the spaceship, falling directly towards the Blue Rain Star.

It wasn’t until the dazed Fuweili felt a slight sense of weightlessness, and the temperature in this room was slowly rising, that she knew she had safely detached from the spaceship. At this moment, she was in an escape pod.

This escape pod was very narrow. Inside, there was a Combat Suit and an energy stun gun!

Fuweili recognized the model of this Combat Suit. It was much better than the one she was wearing. Without saying a word, she put it on directly. In such a crude escape pod, one more point of protection meant one more point of guarantee for life!

She did everything she could do and began to quietly watch the altitude displayed on the escape pod’s instrument.

The original spaceship was in an orbit more than a hundred thousand kilometers away from the Blue Rain Star, and she was falling directly from above towards the Blue Rain Star. This was truly a life-or-death situation!

Until now, Fuweili dared not believe that she had escaped and was not dreaming.

She recalled the entire process. Besides the flames that solidified out of thin air, she also discovered many bizarre points, such as the automatically closing door, and the existence of this advanced Combat Suit and stun gun.

She even felt surprised by the fact that this crude spaceship was actually equipped with an escape pod.

Her escape process was like playing a survival game. The appearance of many phenomena and items, besides allowing her to survive, simply could not seek their origin or significance.

While Fuweili was thinking randomly, Lin Lei was controlling the falling speed of this cabin in the escape pod, ensuring that when it finally landed, Fuweili would be knocked unconscious, but not really injured.

Until this Apocalypse-style energy escape pod constructed by Lin Lei landed like a meteor, everything developed according to Lin Lei’s memory.

Alright, now his mission was completed, just waiting for his past self to come here and continue the development of events here!

After Fuweili woke up from her coma, she saw that weirdo covered in blue blood and leaves again.

But why did she say “again”?
