Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 221 The Milky Way

Just as everyone was worried about his life, Mo Yuming regained some consciousness and felt as if he were having a dream.

I dreamt that I was flying through space. I don't know how long I flew or how far I flew. It was pitch black all around, with only the distant starlight twinkling.

Suddenly a bright light flashed in front of him. He quickly looked up and saw that it looked like a man-made flying machine. So he hurriedly chased after the flying machine.

For some reason, Mo Yuming found that his flight speed was extremely fast and effortless.

It was so fast that even it was surprised, managing to catch up with the high-speed flying machine.

Just as they were about to catch up with the aircraft, a deep blue halo suddenly appeared ahead. The aircraft flew into the halo and immediately disappeared.

Mo Yuming immediately stopped. He carefully approached the circle of light, which was enormous, hundreds of miles in diameter, but it seemed rather insignificant in the vastness of space.

In the center of the aperture is a transparent light curtain, which is not noticeable unless you look closely.

The blue halo is like a two-dimensional drawing in space. It has no thickness and is only visible from the front. Even if it is right next to you, you cannot see anything from the side or the back.

"Could this be a wormhole from the world of science fiction?"

Mo Yuming hesitated outside the light circle, not daring to venture in rashly. Just as he was considering whether to go in, Mo Yuming suddenly realized that he had lost his way.

Looking around, all was pitch black. Apart from the huge halo in front of him, there was only the distant starlight. He didn't know where he came from. There was no direction to be found here. He was floating in the air, and even the ground beneath his feet was pitch black.

Where am I??

Looking around, there was nothing in sight. At this moment, Mo Yuming felt a sense of panic. There must be something wrong with that flying machine. It must have been trying to lure me away from where I was. Wait, I think I flew straight ahead without turning around. After about a few dozen breaths, I saw this circle of light.

"Then I should be able to reach my original position by flying directly in the opposite direction of the aperture." Mo Yuming pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try, thinking it was better than recklessly entering the aperture.

Just as Mo Yuming was flying away in the opposite direction of the light circle, he suddenly felt a strange sensation. He felt as if he had been floating there without moving, while the light circle seemed to be moving. He saw that the light circle was moving away from him faster and faster.

Just moments ago, it was so small that you couldn't see the end of it, but in the blink of an eye, it grew smaller and smaller. After a dozen breaths, it was only about ten feet long, and after a few more breaths, it was only about a foot long.

Mo Yuming immediately stopped flying. At this moment, the halo of light, which covered hundreds of miles in radius, was only a tiny bit in Mo Yuming's eyes, almost blending into the starlight behind him.

Mo Yuming floated in place, oblivious to his surroundings. It was still pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

How did I get here? Wasn't I training in the mine? I remember hearing Leopard Master say that I was undergoing the Transformation of the Path to Immortality. Is this what I have to go through during the Transformation of the Path to Immortality?

Is this an improvement in my state of mind? Or has this caused me to go mad from the failure of the transformation? Am I trapped in this situation with no way out? Am I destined to grow old and die here?

This must be an illusion. Since there's no other way out, entering that circle of light isn't a bad idea. Rather than wandering aimlessly, it's better to boldly rush forward; after all, it's just an illusion, no big deal.

Having made up his mind, Mo Yuming immediately flew towards the light circle, and after a dozen breaths, he arrived in front of the light circle again.

"rush!"

Mo Yuming silently recited a command and rushed into the circle of light.

"Why are we still in space?"

Mo Yuming stood in front of the halo and looked around. Everything in front of him was still pitch black, except for the halo behind him and the distant starlight.

Did I not pass through? Am I still in the same place? After carefully recalling the previous events, Mo Yuming confirmed that he had indeed passed through the halo. He clearly remembered the blue light reflecting off his clothes within the halo.

Could this just be a halo of light, and not some kind of wormhole? Mo Yuming looked back at the enormous halo of light behind him, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Is this a dream or an illusion? Mo Yuming simply sat down in front of the light circle to ponder. If it's a dream, pinching himself shouldn't hurt, right? So Mo Yuming reached out and pinched himself, and sure enough, he felt no pain in his arm.

Haha, it really was a dream! Mo Yuming quickly stood up. Since it was a dream, there was nothing to be afraid of. Someone would come to wake me up when the time came. He might as well try to fly to the horizon while he was still asleep and see if the distant stars were real.

'Huh? Why is there another aperture here?'

After flying forward for more than ten breaths, Mo Yuming saw another halo of light appear ahead, just like the one before.

Mo Yuming turned around and looked back, trying to see if the halo was still there, but it had already blended into the distant starlight and was no longer distinguishable.

"Flying in space, the speed is really fast! In the blink of an eye, things hundreds of miles away become invisible! This speed must be much faster than a jet plane!"

Mo Yuming pondered this in his heart.

Who cares? Let's rush over and see if the scene on the other side is the same again! At least let's see something new! Without saying a word, Mo Yuming rushed into the circle of light in front of him.

"It's still the same! So boring!"

After passing through the light circle, Mo Yuming was still greeted by a starry sky.

"Hmm, this starry sky seems a bit different from the one before!"

After looking around more closely for a while, Mo Yuming realized something was wrong. The starry sky in front of him was significantly brighter than before, and there seemed to be some thin clouds between the stars. The stars in front of him were not as distant as before; they seemed to be near and far, bright and dim.

Some were large, some were small. Mo Yuming sat in front of the halo, carefully examining the star field before him. The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed!

“The Milky Way! This is the Milky Way, there’s no doubt about it. That’s Orion, that’s the Big Dipper, Vega! Sirius!…” Mo Yuming looked around and silently recited the names of the stars in front of him.

"Where is our solar system? The Milky Way is so big, how do we find it?"

This is outer space, where the distance between planets is extremely vast, measured in light-years. Even the shortest distance, one light-year, is an insurmountable barrier.

Mo Yuming carefully observed the surrounding star systems, searching for the location of the solar system, while his mind wandered.

"This is outer space. How could I be floating in this boundless void? Isn't outer space a vacuum? How... can I breathe? And... this doesn't make sense!"
