Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 613 Enemies of the Universe

Bai Yang knew that he couldn't just rack his brains; he needed to find a balance between work and rest.

Back on his original Earth, whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't solve, he would write it down on paper first.

Alternatively, on a computer or mobile phone, you can break down the difficult problem into steps, input them one by one, and compile them into a list.

By repeatedly reviewing these materials, sometimes a flash of inspiration will occur, and the problem will be solved instantly.

This time he went even further, choosing to sit in an underwater pit and taking out all sorts of special items around him, examining them one by one.

The Spirit Realm Paddle, in particular, is a key focus of their attention, being a treasure from beyond the universe.

It is actually a wooden oar that floats in the air.

Even now, Bai Yang cannot understand the principle behind its ability to fly.

Its entire body has a pale yellow wood grain pattern, and it is unknown what kind of wood it is made of.

The surface is covered with a layer of transparent paint, and if you get close, you can even smell a faint fragrance unique to wood.

Even if the ruler of the universe controls spacetime, he probably wouldn't notice anything unusual unless he saw it floating on its own.

Bai Yang gently stroked the prop that had been with him for so long, and could only confirm that it was probably made of some kind of wood.

"It's very strange that the Abyss Subsystem can't sense any plant cells on the oars at all."

Bai Yang had never thought of analyzing the technology behind these tools before; in common terms, these things actually belonged to the underworld.

It's already strange that it can work in this world; it probably relies on the power of the system.

But this time, he had to think about it seriously.

The wooden handle of the oar was almost worn smooth from being touched so much that Bai Yang could feel a pleasant texture when he gently gripped it.

"It would be great if this thing were made of metal; a metal clone would come in handy."

We can simulate absorbing it and see if anything changes.

He sighed inwardly, then suddenly froze for a moment.

I think I suddenly remembered something!

A flash of inspiration had just crossed his mind!

Bai Yang felt like he was about to figure it out!

"What is it? What is the connection between these things?"

I felt like I was about to figure it out.

He immediately calmed down and began to review his previous thought process.

My intuition is right; he was definitely close to realizing something crucial.

Oars, wood, systems, the primordial will of the universe, metal?

What is the connection between these things?

At this moment, Bai Yang completely stopped thinking.

Even the original body in the Giant Axe Universe has temporarily stopped comprehending the laws of space and secret techniques.

Once I calmed down completely, I began to organize my thoughts.

Bai Yang's memory was exceptionally sharp, allowing him to completely recreate his previous train of thought in his mind, trying to recapture that inspiration.

And still, nothing was found!

But he knew he was almost there!

"I'll go through all my memories from beginning to end, and I refuse to believe I can't find it."

He acted immediately, starting his recollection from the very day he began his time travel.

He didn't overlook any detail or conversation in life.

Bai Yang's memories now take into account time acceleration and various simulations.

The actual timeframe is probably close to a billion years.

Even with a perfect memory and an astonishing speed of thought, it would still be an extremely long process.

But for this mysterious metal wall, he believed it was all worth it.

The actual result delighted him even more.

It turns out that the timeline hadn't even reached the point where the 10,000x acceleration would begin yet; he had already obtained a clue back on Dragon Tower Star!

After searching his memories for 40 days, the strange clone suddenly opened his eyes and activated his quantum computer to make contact.

"Senior Wanlong, are you there?"

"Yeah, I'm here. Hehe, what made you suddenly contact me?"

"Senior Wanlong, I want to ask you something."

Do you remember exactly what those seven cosmic artifacts you absorbed were?

"Three pieces of wood, one horn, two bones, and what should be some kind of scale."

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Bai Yang immediately became excited and pressed for more information:

Are you sure?

The Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons on the other side of the virtual universe laughed heartily:

I'm sure!

I remember everything now; the golden light of the sacred symbol restored many of my memories.

I'm sure I haven't misremembered this part.

Bai Yang asked with delight, "Then do you remember how you manipulated the green light to absorb the strange object?"

Do you remember the specific process?

Could you turn my memories into images and send them to me?

Since it involved sacred runes and green light, the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons knew this was an important matter and immediately agreed.

"Okay, wait for me a moment."

Bai Yang didn't have to wait long; soon a virtual scene file was sent to his personal computer.

This video contains full-scene content, allowing him to almost perfectly experience what the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons actually went through.

Bai Yang quickly opened the video and fast-forwarded through it, soon seeing the process of the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons.

The black dragon-man, over five meters tall, emitted a green light from its eyes, which shone on a pile of debris in a dangerous place in the cosmic sea.

Those strange objects looked ordinary at first glance, with nothing special about them.

But Bai Yang saw that it was indeed wood, bones and the like, and not far away on the ground was the animal skin that the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons regarded as a treasure.

"It will work! The green light can make people absorb the strange wood."

When I was dealing with the Ice Deuterium Venerable, I was already able to use the Holy Symbol to simulate some of the functions of green light.

"Then this kind of absorption ability must also be possible."

Bai Yang was full of confidence in this; it must be true!

He stared intently at the image of the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons, and noticed that he picked up the animal skin and examined it carefully for a moment, the green light in his eyes growing stronger.

Then he seemed to refer to the inscription on the animal skin and pointed at the seven strange objects.

Those strange objects suddenly turned into a mass of black liquid and merged into his body on their own!

Everything seems so simple!

Bai Yang was quite surprised:

"It seems that the green light is indeed useful, but the animal hide is the key."

It might even resemble some kind of mature method?

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why does the original will of the universe hate cosmic wonders so much?

Aren't those just crude weapons used by the natives of the Origin Continent?

How is this hindering it?

Even if the strongest being in the universe obtained this thing, how could it possibly endanger the entire primordial universe?

This thing is not even as powerful as the Supreme Treasure, and it's a bit too much of a fuss to send so many universe lords to besiege the Lord of Yuan'ao.

Bai Yang recalled the original work and suddenly thought of something.

"Those natives are actually the original inhabitants of the continent, and they are actually fighting against colonists from the three-thousand-dimensional universe!"

If a primordial universe has an primordial will, does the primordial continent itself have one?

If such a will exists, whom would it favor?

Indigenous people or outsiders?

How would it view the will of the three-thousand-dimensional cosmic sea?

In the Giant Axe Universe, Bai Yang's true form retrieved the animal hide from the World Ring.

"Since the materials themselves are nothing special, the methods used by the indigenous people are probably the key."
