Chapter 1341: Chapter 26 Life
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
The dazzling fireworks burst over Brooklyn, this unprecedented spectacle making every passerby stop, look up, and marvel:
“It’s so beautiful, I’ve never seen so many fireworks!”
“Who is setting off so many fireworks in Brooklyn? Isn’t this not allowed?”
“Maybe some young master trying to please a beauty, haha, we are lucky to witness such beautiful fireworks in Brooklyn!”
November 2, 1952.
That night, it seemed like the entire Brooklyn population was looking up at the sky, enjoying the feast of fireworks, bursting into their pupils with colorful lights.
Except for one person…
Who bowed his head.
With his back to the sky.
Walking aimlessly along the streets of Brooklyn, against the riverside where fireworks were being set off.
It was Lin Xian in all black, wearing a black felt hat.
The brim was pressed low, covering most of his face.
Perhaps he was the only person in Brooklyn not looking up at the fireworks.
Those were the fireworks he prepared for CC.
But the lovely girl who loved hot dogs never got to fulfill her dream, never got to see the era-stunning fireworks…
Screaming children ran past Lin Xian.
Jumping up and down.
Happy and excited.
Shouting up at the sky.
If only CC were still alive;
If only CC hadn’t become the Millennium Stakes;
If only CC hadn’t turned into Blue Stardust and vanished;
At this moment… she might be like these excited children, tiptoeing, pointing at the sky, showing her cute dimples and crescent smile, right?
What a pity.
By a twist of fate.
Just a little bit, just a few hours short.
[Fireworks].
They became CC’s obsession, an obsession spanning 600 years of time-space.
From this point on.
Lin Xian had figured it all out.
Zhao Yingjun’s earlier guess was indeed correct—
[All Millennium Stakes dreams are different fragments of the same story, and this story… is the life of the First Generation Pillar, CC.]
In Zhang Yuqian’s videotape, she was suddenly awakened and spoke keywords like white light, burning, mushroom cloud, 1952, newspaper, Einstein.
This dream was the scene on the morning of November 1st, when he and CC were watching TV at the Empire State Building Hotel.
The TV was showing footage of a hydrogen bomb explosion, and he was discussing Einstein with CC, with the latest issue of the “New York Daily News” on the coffee table.
The mushroom cloud from the hydrogen bomb explosion made a significant impression on CC, which might be why it became Zhang Yuqian’s recurring nightmare.
Six hundred years later, in CC’s dream, she saw blue-eyed Lin Xian.
For a long time, Lin Xian believed that “Blue-Eyed Lin Xian” couldn’t possibly exist, as it severely violated a series of space-time laws.
But unexpectedly…
At the moment the first Millennium Stake was placed, just as the space-time law started to take effect, “Blue-Eyed Lin Xian” indeed appeared!
At that time, the whole body of the First Generation Pillar CC became transparent, panicked, and the blue-eyed version of himself was the last image she saw at the age of 20, naturally ingrained deeply.
Thus… it also became CC’s dream 600 years later.
As for Chu Anqing’s dream, it was easier to explain.
The obsession with fireworks.
The desire from childhood to see the sky-full of fireworks.
The fireworks show right within reach.
But ultimately missed, not seeing it even once.
Perhaps.
This was the greatest wish and also the greatest regret within the heart of the First Generation Pillar, CC.
…
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
Lin Xian walked with lonely steps, treading the cold ground, continuing into the darkness.
He didn’t know where this was.
Nor did he know where to go.
Just blindly walking here.
It seemed…
Every corner of Brooklyn once had CC’s presence, but now, she was nowhere to be found.
The splendid fireworks in the sky were still bursting with crackling sounds.
A total of ten truckloads of massive fireworks, certainly not something that could be set off in a short while.
Amid the booming explosions of the fireworks, Lin Xian continued pondering the issue of the Millennium Stakes.
Just now.
He finally understood the riddle of the Millennium Stakes dreams.
But what followed was even more perplexing confusion…
What can be confirmed now is.
On November 2, 1952, at 12:42 PM, Mi Country time, the first Millennium Stake in human history was placed in the river of space-time.
Though it’s impossible to determine whether this instant was indeed the First Generation Pillar CC’s 20th birthday; Lin Xian speculated that it was highly probable, just without evidence.
From the moment the Millennium Stake was hammered down, [history officially locked], [space-time law took effect].
What followed was the onset of space-time exclusion, causing his appearance to change, and his eyes to turn into bright azure blue.
Earlier, Lin Xian also glanced at the glass window.
The sudden reflection on the glass was a completely unfamiliar man, imitating Lin Xian’s movements, mirroring him with the same posture, locking eyes.
Lin Xian knew that was his appearance under space-time exclusion. But honestly, it was hard to relate to, hard to accept this stranger was himself.
His height and build remained largely unchanged.
The facial features, however, underwent the Great Shift of Universe, completely unrecognizable from the original appearance.
The bright blue eyes surrounded by deep eye sockets; coupled with a high nose bridge and prominent cheekbones, completely resembling a North European hybrid.
The face became square, with a faint slit in the middle of the chin, a typical Western male image.
Only the black hair and yellow skin retained a hint of Asian features, but overall… no one would think he was a native Dragon Country person.
