Chapter 685: The Flatverse
Chapter 685: The Flatverse
"You people can't escape!" howled Young Master Leaf. It seemed like he was getting stronger with every moment that passed, making it impossible for anyone to assess the true level of his cultivation base.
Not even Yang Qi was able to do so after observing him at length. He was a Godmyth, but what specific division? Perhaps he had just become a Godmyth, or perhaps he was at the peak of the level. If the latter were true, it wouldn’t be a very big deal, but if it were the former, that would be terrifying.
People who were extremely strong at low levels were always terrifying.
Yang Qi was no exception. He was an immortal emperor, but could already devastate fourth division Shattered Gods in combat. Once he became an actual Godmyth, he would likely be able to defeat Young Master Leaf, but unfortunately he wasn’t making progress that quickly.
The further along he proceeded in his cultivation, the more difficult it became to progress. He had originally assumed that after assimilating the arm of the Jade Emperor, reaching the Godmyth level would be easy. Unfortunately, every bit of advancement he made was thousands of times more difficult than anything before. Thankfully, he had his sage child to constantly fill him with power.
"After them! They’re in the Flatverse, but that will only last until they run out of power. Once they emerge, we’ll crush them!" Even as he spoke, Young Master Leaf flew forth trying to find more clues as to their specific location.
Obviously, when a piece of the Cruiser of Civilization popped out into the open, it would send out powerful fluctuations, which he could then use to grab it.
Meanwhile, as the fragment of the Cruiser of Civilization flew through the Flatverse toward parts unknown, Yang Qi and the patriarchs were forced to communicate via "flat" divine will.
"What now?" one of the patriarchs said. "Traveling along like this isn’t a permanent solution. Once we leave the Flatverse, we’ll be back in the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart and he’ll find us."
"You’re right," Yang Qi said. "I can only provide so much power. But I said I'm going to help you, so I’ll help you to the end." By now, Yang Qi was gradually starting to comprehend the various functions of this fragment of the Cruiser of Civilization.
Considering he had the powers of a Future One, there were some aspects of the spacecraft that he innately comprehended. Furthermore, the Mechfolk couldn’t acquire the approval of the photonic computers the way that he could.
The patriarchs exchanged awkward glances.
"Why are you helping us?"
"You couldn’t possibly be able to leave the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, could you? If we could get out into the outside universe, then Young Master Leaf wouldn’t be able to restrain us and we could definitely escape. Out in the immortal worlds and universal planes, we could get help from the countless other Mechfolk bases."
"That’s right. Not even that fiend-devil could deal with the wrath of the Mechfolk as a whole."
"Once we're out of the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, we’ll have nothing to fear. It’s been a million years since we entered the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart. It took a lot of hard work to get this one fragment of the Cruiser of Civilization, and ever since we got it we’ve been stuck. If we could get out, then even more of our people would be able to research this fragment and our science and technology would climb to an even higher level."
