Chapter 441: The Tragic Loss Of Mythology

“Leaving the Old World and entering deep space. It’s interesting, isn’t it? He dared to leave the protection of that couple and wander around at this time, are they trying to fish?” said the Dragon while he roamed in deep space outside the Old World. He thought a lot and immediately considered this a trap. That man and woman were using bait to lure him.

“Since it’s bait, it’s a very tasty bait. Why not eat it? Go, find out where he went, and have someone arrange for him!” The Dragon’s hoarse voice echoed.

He remained calm. He did not mind swallowing the bait and breaking the hook. Obviously, he wasn’t alone. He had a very powerful camp that obeyed his orders. Even in the real world, there were things he couldn’t hide from. He obtained the information he wanted not long after.

“He’s at Proxima Centauri b, the universe where the New World is located, and the Secret Land. Heh, so he ran to that barren beast field that has been deserted for a long time.”

……

The Secret Land reappeared on the large screen. For Wang Xuan, it was familiar yet unfamiliar. He officially rose here, although he had bloody battles there, faced endless monsters and opponents from other planets that were extremely dangerous, but it was also where he entered the realm of the transcendent. Finally, their battleship approached. This transcendent planet was different now. It was no longer covered by colorful trans material. It no longer interfered strongly with the battleship.

Wang Xuan said, “Let’s not land for safety’s sake. Old Qing, you wait in deep space, and I’ll go down to find someone in the escape pod.”

Qing Mu rubbed his hands and said, “This may be the first and last time coming to the Secret Land. It’s too regrettable not to land. I’ll accompany you down.”

“I’m afraid you might be in danger. That old Fox below was probably an Earth Immortal back then. It’s extremely powerful. Even if his level has been knocked down now, he’s still probably not someone to mess with.” said Wang Xuan. He indeed had to be cautious. At the very least, the other party had solemnly promised to send the two women back soon but had never followed through. It was hard to say if they were friend or foe.

“It’s okay, I’ll release a batch of Probe Swarms first to detect the situation of this planet. If there’s no source of trans material, then as the vice master of the Ship Mechanic Lineage, I’ll be very useful to you and can help you in ship combat.” Qing Mu replied. Qing Mu was still very skilled and cautious in his work. He immediately released many various types of small aircraft similar to hummingbirds and darts. These were the Probe Swarm.

“After inspection, the transcendent radiation is very weak, which means the trans material is extremely sparse. There was no major impact.” said Qing Mu as he retrieved the Swarm. He was confident there were no issues.

Wang Xuan was lost in thought. Even the transcendent planet had withered, its rules shattered, and the trans material dissipated. The once mythical land had unexpectedly reached this stage in a short time.

“The last time, it was indeed a dying glow. As the White Peacock said, the last shine before the candle extinguished.”

He looked down at the planet and found it hard to imagine that in the past, transcendent powers had shaken the heavens and the earth, and the strongest could destroy a planet with their bare hands. But once the curtain fell, the myth turned out to be so fragile. All the great powers vanished and were extinguished.

“Qinghan, Wuyin, long time no see, I’ve come to pick you up!” His emotions surged. He was finally going to see familiar faces again.

Qing Mu was very cautious and did not land directly. He scanned the outer space and inspected the surface. He searched for anomalies to avoid mistakes and accidents.

“There’s a…… spaceship!” exclaimed Qing Mu. Shortly after, he was surprised and immediately became serious.

“What’s going on?” asked Wang Xuan. He was surprised. Indeed, there was an anomaly.

Qing Mu quickly pulled up the image, and a clear picture emerged. It wasn’t an ordinary spaceship. The style was somewhat familiar, it was similar to the ancient spaceship.

However, it wasn’t old. The cold hull gleamed with metallic luster, and its design resembled that of the ancient spaceship where the mechanical bird was located.

“It’s not very far away, it seems to be a satellite orbiting around the Secret Land,” said Qing Mu. He then activated the energy shield as he feared a sudden attack.

“Besides it, there are also metal fragments, and skeletons. Is that…… the corpse of a flying dragon?” exclaimed Qing Mu with shock.

There were some things floating around the orbit where the spaceship circled. The corpse of a silver bird, the wreckage of a flying dragon, broken flying boats, and a broken giant flying sword…… a lot of odds and ends.

“There was probably once a group of transcendent creatures that clashed with that spaceship and suffered a miserable defeat.” said Wang Xuan.

Those floating bodies and weapons belonged to the mythical civilization. The so-called large flying boats engraved with runes belonged to the means of gods and demons. They had suffered quite a bit and were annihilated by technological civilization. Their blood stained the space. When did this happen, in ancient times, in modern times, or recently? It’s impossible to determine.

“It…… is here!” shouted Qing Mu as his expression changed. He was quite nervous. The spaceship was approaching them and he was getting impatient. He wanted to open fire preemptively.

“Don’t, its firepower and defense level far exceed our small and medium-sized spacecraft. We might not be able to do anything to it,” said Wang Xuan, telling him to hold steady.

However, he prepared for the worst, holding the furnace lid in hand, and invoking the transcendent flying boat. He was ready to use the supreme treasure in case the other party came with strong malice and attacked mercilessly. Sure enough, the spaceship approached confidently with a retro style but not an old hull. It was not afraid of Qing Mu opening fire. Qing Mu attempted to communicate and talk with the other side, but the spaceship showed no response at all.

“Could it be the legendary ghost ship?” said Qing Mu while his heart sank. He was thinking of some legends about the deep space. In the universe, certain unknown and lifeless spaceships sometimes behaved very frighteningly, even the wreckage could be extremely dangerous.

It came right in front of them. It was about four or five times larger than their small and medium-sized warship. It stayed silent and even bloodstains were visible on the spaceship. Wang Xuan frowned.

Could it be a repeat of the ancient spaceship incident in the old space?

He wasn’t afraid now.

As it got closer, several figures suddenly appeared in Wang Xuan’s warship. However, Qing Mu was unaware and was still staring at the big screen.

This was a direct invasion. They ignored the hull, and actually landed directly in the control room. Wang Xuan stared at them. The few people were dressed in modern attire, they did not match the ancient dress style at all. There were both men and women and they all looked relatively young. None of them appeared older than thirty at least, at least not in appearance.

“You being able to sense us so quickly is quite remarkable. Do you want to change your life?” A silver-haired young man spoke, though this was through a special mental transmission rather than a common language.

“Do you want to change your fate? You will witness a colorful world because of this.” He continued speaking abruptly.

“How can I change my fate?” replied Wang Xuan while facing them calmly and looking directly at the several young men and women. During this process, Qing Mu remained unaware as if he were detached from this scene.

The silver-haired youth nodded and said, “Very well, you didn’t waste any time with pleasantries or questions about our origins. Of course, we will help you change your fate, fulfill your aspirations, and achieve your ideals.”
