Chapter 2983 - 2984: All Is Calm in the Multiverse

Chapter 2983: Chapter 2984: All Is Calm in the Multiverse

Two blooming flowers each tell their own tale.

Unlike the brewing storm in the high-dimensional universe, everything is normal in The Multiverse.

Although the disordered timeline hasn’t yet been restored, the populace within it remains forever unaware.

They will only muddle through on their predetermined life paths, oblivious to the fact that the course of time has already shifted direction,

but there will always be some who are awake.

Like Huyue, like Zhang Tianyou!

These two might be among the few left in The Multiverse who really understand what has happened.

But it isn’t a blessing; rather, it’s a torment.

Especially as time progresses, this torment grows day by day.

Huyue feels as if he’s starting to experience auditory and visual hallucinations.

After staring at that Black Hole in the distance long enough, he always feels that Xue An will emerge from it the very next second.

This is not strange at all; after all, when you hope too much for something, hallucinations often occur.

But the problem now is that Huyue not only sees Xue An, he can have exchanges and conversations with him.

This situation suddenly becomes grim.

As a result, Zhang Tianyou has been standing by here these past couple of days, just in case Huyue goes through some mental breakdown and causes any trouble.

But Huyue insists on staying put.

In his words, he has no other place to go now.

Moreover, when Xue An left back then, he made it clear to Huyue to keep a good watch over his physical body.

Huyue also knows the importance of the matter well, so contrary to his usual laziness, he’s practically inseparable from this place.

This is also one of the main reasons for his immense mental pressure.

"Huff!"

Originally sleeping soundly, Huyue suddenly sat up, panting heavily.

"Had a nightmare again?" Zhang Tianyou didn’t even lift his head, remaining focused intently on the screen in front of him.

After a period of modification, Zhang Tianyou has already transformed the place where Xue An’s physical body is temporarily placed into a fortress.

Various overt and covert defenses seal the void within thousands of miles around it tightly.

Additionally, Zhang Tianyou has set up comprehensive detection equipment, monitoring everything around without pause.

As Zhang Tianyou would say, problems solvable by technology should preferably not trouble humans.

Huyue grabbed a bottle of spirit water beside his bed that could quickly replenish consumed energy, gulped it down, wiped his mouth, and let out a belch.

"Old Zhang, the spirit water you’ve concocted is great for everything except its taste; drinking it is bland and flavorless, no fun at all!" Huyue didn’t respond to Zhang Tianyou’s words but rather complained about the taste of the spirit water.

"What do you know? This represents the highest level of concocting; do you think this taste is achieved easily? I spent a whole day concocting a flavor that’s optimal for consumption without causing aversion!"

Zhang Tianyou was clearly unhappy with Huyue’s lack of appreciation, moved his eyes from the screen, and fixed them on Huyue, "Do you think it’s as invigorating as the cola you love to drink?"

"Tut-tut, you have to admit, compared to your concoction, cola tastes better, especially when chilled, a sip is thrilling to the point of spasms!"

"You’re just an ignorant country bumpkin!" Zhang Tianyou curled his lip.

"Yes, I’m a bumpkin, but seeing how complicated your process is, talking about flavor concoction and avoiding aversion, if I’d known it was such a hassle, wouldn’t plain water suffice?"

"I’m too lazy to explain to you!"

"I think you can’t find a suitable argument!"

The two began to bicker.

After rounds of verbal jousting, Huyue finally wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, his complexion gradually back to normal.

Seeing the situation, Zhang Tianyou smiled slightly, then casually tossed over a cigar.

"Want one?"

Huyue instead placed the cigar aside, then casually lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag before slowly exhaling.

In that moment, he resembled a seasoned smoker to the tee.

"Compared to cigars, I still prefer this!"

Zhang Tianyou chuckled, "So, what did you dream about this time?"

Huyue’s facial features scrunched together.

"Damn it, this time I dreamed of a dark thing chasing after me, I couldn’t run fast carrying old Xue’s body, and just as it was about to devour me, I woke up!"

"A dark thing? Could you see what it was?"

"No, it was just a mass of pitch black!"

"Alright then, I think your stress is really too much, why not go back to Earth for a few days to recuperate? I’m enough to handle things here!"

"No need, Earth has Yangjian and the Nine Heavens guarding it, nothing much for me to do there, might as well stay here and wait for Xue An’s return."

"Alright then, as long as you can hold on, it’s fine!" Zhang Tianyou sighed and turned back to his tasks.

The dense code streamed past the screen like flowing water, so fast that it left trails of afterimages.

"What are you busy with this time?"

"Oh, since I’m idle, might as well further optimize the surrounding defensive deployments!" Zhang Tianyou replied.

Huyue hesitated to speak, fought within himself several times, but finally couldn’t resist saying, "Old Zhang!"

"Hmm?"

"Do you reckon Old Xue can return safely?"

The code on the screen stopped instantly; Zhang Tianyou turned around to look at the anxious-faced Huyue.

"Why ask that?"

"Ugh, I’ve been on edge this whole time, dreaming bad dreams when I close my eyes. Does this mean something ominous?"

Zhang Tianyou wasn’t inclined to mock Huyue, instead spoke very seriously.

"Shall we... do a divination?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Let’s give it a try!" Huyue perked up at once.

Although Zhang Tianyou was once the president of the technology-over-everything development society, this doesn’t mean he resists all metaphysics.

On the contrary, he has a keen interest in the Eight Diagrams and Four Symbols, even thinking they were ancient codes to program the world by early ancestors.

For this, he devoted significant time to transferring them to the supercomputer for iterative updates after deep research.

It’s now reached the eighth generation, both its calculation speed and accuracy have reached astounding levels.

That’s why Huyue is so eager.

Zhang Tianyou opened the application and began the first step in divination by tapping on the keyboard.

A massive turtle shell appeared on the screen, and after an animation of being scorched by flames, the shell gradually cracked open.

"You know, the cracks on this turtle shell are derived from true random numbers in quantum computing, uncontrollable by human power, thereby ensuring the purity of initial data!"

"Only like this can we obtain an accurate result!" Up till this moment, Zhang Tianyou was still explaining to Huyue.

Of course, Huyue couldn’t understand any of this; he merely smirked, "That turtle shell looks ugly, guess you drew it yourself!"
