667: Silkworm of Destiny

"Commander, I feel that the little girl named Song Jiajia is not simple."

As soon as they entered the Dimension Channel, Zero's slightly distorted voice echoed from Yang Dian's wrist.

Controlling his Qi and blood to protect the wristband, Yang Dian nodded casually:

"I noticed."

"Her Soul strength doesn't seem like that of a two or three-year-old child; it's more like..."

At this point, Yang Dian paused before continuing:

"It's more like the Soul of a martial cultivator who has lived for over 20 years and achieved success in cultivation techniques."

Zero searched its database and, after a long while, offered a guess that was within Yang Dian's expectations:

"Could she be a Rebirth cultivator?"

Yang Dian chuckled:

"The probability of her being a Rebirth cultivator is extremely low."

"The consumption of reversing time is simply too great. Even a small-scale reversal of time is an incredibly unbelievable feat."

"I don't believe such an existence is hidden on Tiannan Star, or that it possesses a treasure capable of reversing time."

As he spoke, Yang Dian's steps in the Dimension Channel paused again.

According to the Cold Silkworm, a total of nine Silkworms entered Tiannan Star.

Based on the rules, the Silkworms should master different rule powers depending on their location.

Besides the Cold Silkworm he carried, Yang Dian had previously found Thunder Silkworm, which controlled the power of lightning; Fire Silkworm, which controlled the power of flames; Wind Silkworm, which controlled the power of gales; and Illusion Silkworm, which controlled illusion abilities.

Adding the Soul Silkworm, which had just attached itself to the Soul and could help open Soul Space, he had already found six of the nine rule Silkworms.

'What powers do the remaining three Silkworms control?'

'Is Song Jiajia's Soul so powerful because of the Soul Silkworm, or because...'

'Did the Time Silkworm reverse time?'

'Or did the Time Silkworm accelerate the growth of her Soul?'

'If there truly is a rule Silkworm that controls the power of time...'

Various thoughts swirled in Yang Dian's mind, but he suppressed them one by one.

Whether there was a Time Rule Silkworm was still a false proposition.

Thinking too much was useless.

Even if there was, it wouldn't stop him from entering the Star Core Space and shattering the Star Core.

As long as the Star Core was shattered, the remaining eight rule Silkworms would be like turtles in a jar, unable to escape Tiannan Star.

"Hmm~"

"Also, be careful not to let them slip onto Earth or into the dimensional rift, which is the Ruined Realm."

With this thought, Yang Dian looked at the epic of civilization carved on the walls on both sides of the Dimension Channel.

The epics of civilization were always largely similar.

The ancients painstakingly blazed a trail for civilization, and later generations followed their path, continuously expanding and extending it.

Until 'Spiritual Qi' was observed, breaking the quantum folded state, and Qi Revival occurred on the planet.

Then, zombies emerged, and civilization was continuously shattered under the zombie invasion.

Finally, someone turned the tide and became a savior, rescuing civilization from destruction.

In the very end, the two realms intersected, countless blood and fire descended from the sky, and civilization once again entered a countdown.

Standing before the Chaos-colored portal at the end of the channel.

Carefully sensing the slightly familiar aura within the portal.

Yang Dian couldn't help but curl his lips into a sneer.

"The same trick, it couldn't even cause secondary damage to those bronze-tier experts, let alone me?"

Clearly, the portal at the deepest part of the Dimension Channel did not lead to Tiannan Star's Star Core Space.

Its other side was the Ruined Realm.

"The people of Tiannan Star are weak; they can't handle grand concepts like space and the Ruined Realm at all."

"The zombies on Tiannan Star are the same."

"So, is it one of the remaining few Silkworms that left portals to the Ruined Realm everywhere, or something else?"

"If it's one of the nine Silkworms, what power does this Rule Silkworm control?"

"Space? Ruined Realm? Or Dimension?"

Raising his hand to summon the Dimension Butterfly, Yang Dian asked curiously:

"Do you little thing eat snacks?"

The Dimension Butterfly didn't speak, but the disgust it radiated was perceptible even to a dog.

"Alright, it seems not."

Flicking the little creature's antennae, Yang Dian walked back and eventually arrived before a stone wall.

Carved on this stone wall were scenes of the Origin Research Institute discovering Spiritual Qi and studying Spiritual Qi.

Finally, they combined Spiritual Qi with human body enhancement agents, injected them into test subjects, and scenes of the test subjects, the zombies, opening their eyes.

"This is how history is, yes."

"But is something missing?"

"The nine rule Silkworms were, after all, the first batch of Ruined Realm lifeforms to enter Tiannan Star from the Ruined Realm. Is there really no record of them on the civilization stone carvings?"

He stretched out his hand, offering the Dimension Butterfly on his fingertip towards the stone wall.

As the Dimension Butterfly gently flapped its wings, space slowly began to ripple like water.

Within the ripples, a new stone wall slowly emerged.

On the day of Qi Revival, nine streams of light fell from the sky.

One landed in a bottomless pool, becoming the Cold Silkworm.

One fell into an offshore wind eye, becoming the Wind Silkworm.

Besides these, Fire Silkworm, Thunder Silkworm, and other rule Silkworms also appeared.

"Wind, Fire, Thunder, Cold, Illusion, Soul, Time, Space..."

His gaze swept over the first eight, finally settling on the last Silkworm, which was formless, intangible, omnipresent, and seemed to weave a vast net, enveloping all life on Tiannan Star.

"And this last one."

When his gaze fell on that Silkworm, two words spontaneously arose in Yang Dian's heart.

"Fate?"

Thinking of the two words that rose from his heart, Yang Dian felt a little numb.

It was just a small Tiannan Star; the appearance of Soul, Time, and Space was one thing.

After all, if one looked at the entire Universe, there were not a few existences that mastered these three abilities.

What? Existences that master time are rare?

Precognition, isn't that a variant of time ability?

"Hmm, that doesn't seem right either."

"Precognition also seems to be a variant of Fate ability."

Shaking his head and no longer dwelling on those irrelevant thoughts, Yang Dian pondered for a while, then finally extended his index finger and pointed at the Silkworm that spread an immense net, covering the entire Tiannan Star—the Silkworm of Fate.

The next moment, his finger touched the Silkworm of Fate.

A dark, counter-clockwise rotating vortex appeared before Yang Dian, pulling him directly into a magnificent world.

Tiannan Star's Star Core Space was unlike any Star Core Space Yang Dian had visited before.

Previously, whether it was the Star Core Space of the Lizardmen Alien Planet, the Strange Star, or Canglan Star, they were all monotonous.

Except for the Star Core, there was nothing else.

Of course, Yu Tian, who entered Wenlan Star's Star Core Space through the Dimension Channel, didn't count.

But what about Tiannan Star's Star Core Space?

Fate as threads, sentient beings as shadows.

Human joys, sorrows, and partings were all playing out in this vast, boundless Star Core Space.

"Silkworm of Fate?"

"I found you!"
