Chapter 287: The Terrifying Universe
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
What nonsense was this?
When he heard this, Feng Lin wasn’t happy but was shocked instead.
There were still over ten days before the start of the second exam. Thus, this sudden new occurrence might not be a good thing.
Examining his information?
Feng Lin didn’t feel that this reason was legitimate, but an official notice had been sent to him.
If one was straight, one wouldn’t fear their shadow was crooked!
Feng Lin put the furnace back into his body and turned to depart. He traveled swiftly and soon arrived in the interior of the star battlegrounds.
The door opened and he walked in. A loud bang echoed out, signifying that the door had been slammed shut.
Boundless darkness instantly engulfed him.
“I want to see who is the one trying to play tricks.” A cold smile appeared on Feng Lin’s face. He didn’t panic at all.
The darkness split apart before his eyes. At the next moment, his entire person started to float and it appeared like he was floating in the boundless starry s.p.a.ce of the universe.
Cl.u.s.ters of stars shone high up in the sky, incomparably resplendent. They formed a galaxy and their light lit up the outer s.p.a.ce.
Feng Lin was silently puzzled.
Why were the members of the exam grounds looking for him?
Was this an illusion-scape?
…
He blinked and the phenomenon grew stranger and stranger.
The galaxy far away expanded and was moving closer to him. Its outline grew increasingly clearer.
To his surprise, he discovered a shocking truth. This galaxy actually resembled an immensely large giant. It was unknown how many light years this galaxy was away from him.
(No, it doesn’t resemble a giant. It is a giant!)
The galaxy started to move, taking large steps forward, filled with purpose. There were two nebulae on its head twinkling like it was winking its eyes. This must be a type of magnificent creature formed from a galaxy.
The galactic giant’s face grew larger and larger. His eyes were formed from two black holes, and the cl.u.s.ters of stars joined together formed his skin, flesh, and blood. The galaxy spiral was its backbones. This was a true giant.
It took large steps, causing rumbling sounds to ring out constantly. Countless fixed stars, planets, star regions, were devoured or shattered by it.
Its boundless aura radiated forth, forming a particle storm that swept over everything.
Feng Lin was in the midst of the storm. His body instantly was akin to the smallest atom, totally insignificant.
Shudder!
Feng Lin didn’t feel fear in his heart, but his body began to shudder uncontrollably.
Facing this galactic giant, it was unknown how unimaginably vast the difference in their vitality stats was. Most probably, even the most scientifically-advanced A.I. wouldn’t be able to calculate it.
Given Feng Lin’s weak abilities, he had no way to probe this galactic giant. He couldn’t sense anything at all; this was why he felt no fear.
Only what his vision showed him caused him to tremble unceasingly.
This was an absolute suppression in all aspects from a higher lifeform.
Before this vast universal’s heavenly might, all biological creatures were so tiny and inconsequential, completely insignificant, even lesser than an ant.
One must know that there were over four billion fixed stars in the milky way galaxy.
Before the fixed stars, humanity couldn’t even be compared to grains of sand on a beach.
And now, one of the galaxies in the universe transformed into a galactic giant. This was simply a wonder.
The boundless might radiating from it could be felt above the stars. Even Feng Lin found it hard to maintain his will.
For a time, he felt like his will was about to collapse and shatter into nothingness.
He stood at his original location, a dazed look appearing in his eyes. Right now, he was like an empty sh.e.l.l; there was not a hint of soul aura from him at all.
“It is not working?”
“Seems like this Feng Lin isn’t able to handle the lifeforce suppression from the galactic giant.”
“What a pity. He isn’t a candidate that we want.”
…
The sound of a sigh rang out in the dark s.p.a.ce.
“Wake him up, don’t cripple this candidate.”
“I guess that is all then.”
“Seems like we, humans of the Interstellar Era, still have a very long path ahead of us.”
…
“Wait!” Just when many voices were lamenting, a shout suddenly rang out, “Hold on, look at him quickly!”
Feng Lin’s will continued sinking into the endless darkness. It seemed that he was on the verge of being drowned completely, almost at the point where it was impossible to wake him up forever.
Ao~
All of a sudden, Feng Lin heard a howl from the depths of the endless darkness. This howl was filled with balefulness. It was lawless and tyrannical, and it feared nothing in the world.
Feng Lin was suddenly shaken awake. It was like he saw the face of an enraged monkey in the dark. It bared its fangs and pounded its fists on its chest like it wanted to destroy everything before its vision.
The heavens cannot cover my eyes!
The earth cannot bury my heart!
I’m the child of heavens and earth, Sun Wukong!
…
In that instant, Feng Lin saw his own spiritual appearance. His body trembled as he was startled awake. Clarity returned to his eyes.
The galactic giant was incomparably vast. It was unknown how many light years were it away from him. It continued moving forward as countless planets were devoured by it.
A single punch from it had the power to destroy an entire galaxy. It used both its hands and started to devour the planets, its body beginning to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Given how vast a galaxy was, it should at the very least be several tens of thousands of years away.
The simple actions of the giants were artificially accelerated several million times, and everything was displayed before him now. This caused him to see one of the most terrifying scenes in the dark universe.
The pressure circulated through the vacuum of the universe, boring down on him. Feng Lin’s life was like a tiny speck of light that could be snuffed out at any second.
After almost dying earlier, Feng Lin didn’t dare to linger in his random thoughts any longer. He guarded his will and fixed his spiritual appearance on the enraged monkey in his heart.
The galactic giant was terrifying, but its power was something that exceeded Feng Lin’s dimension. It was useless to be frightened. Only by guarding his heart and will would he remain unaffected by the cruel destructive truth of the universe.
He stood in s.p.a.ce and didn’t move for a long while. His chest heaved as he adjusted his breathing, trying to calm himself down. After fixing his gaze to normal, no ripples of emotions could be seen flickering within.
It was unknown how long had pa.s.sed. The darkness gradually retreated as the stars grew dim. The illusion before his eyes gradually dispersed.
All of a sudden, a burst of light laughter rang out in his surroundings.
“Excellent, as expected, we didn’t make a wrong judgment about you. Even the projection of the galactic giant couldn’t destroy your will!”
Feng Lin glanced in the direction of the voice. Without realizing it, he was already standing in an empty public square, and three muscular men stood in the distance, staring at him with admiration and satisfaction in their eyes.
Their appearances were different but they had micro mecha on. Immense vitality could be felt from them. Their auras were exceptionally imposing.
This was especially so for the man who stood in the center. His hair spiked up like needles, and half of his face was already destroyed, revealing patches of withered flesh. He had a mechanical eye that emitted a scanning red light.
Feng Lin felt chills in his heart. He felt like the red light had seen through him completely, like all his secrets had been exposed.
“Who are you guys? What do you want by calling me over?” Upon facing these three strange people, he didn’t panic as he calmly asked.
Upon seeing how calm he was, the guy with the mechanical eye nodded as a malevolent smile appeared on his face, resembling a ferocious beast. “Not bad, not bad. You have wariness in your heart but you have enough courage not to panic. You are really a genius candidate that we need!”
The information revealed within this few words was great!
“What do you mean?” Feng Lin asked again.
The man with the mechanical eye laughed uproariously, his laughter echoing through s.p.a.ce, causing the air to tremble. His laughter was like a large bell reverberating in one’s ears.
“Exam candidate from the solar system, Feng Lin. Congratulations, you have been recruited in advance to the Great Wall University, one of the top ten universities in the universe!”
