346: Star Secret

The course has been set; amidst the boundless interstellar ocean, Chen Tianming is finally about to set sail in a warship.

When the massive warship hovered from the ground into mid-air, everyone on the Fantasy Continent was stunned.

Although Chen Tianming had been on the Fantasy Continent for nearly half a year.

However, the people in this land, heavily influenced by spiritual energy and with minds completely fixated on the realm of cultivation and ascension, still did not understand what it meant to sail between planets.

Chen Tianming had once had such a hypothesis.

The so-called ascension is simply the ability to leave the Fantasy Continent and head out into the universe.

It does not mean that one becomes a god just by ascending.

But the natives of the Fantasy Continent, seeing Chen Tianming preparing to ascend to the heavens, were all in tears.

The strongest person currently in their world was leaving this world to ascend.

Some envied him, some were jealous, and some were touched and offered their congratulations in their hearts.

Chen Tianming sat on the spaceship, looking down at the hundreds of billions of living beings below, feeling quite emotional.

He went to the pilot's seat of the warship and condensed his energy into a key.

Once the warship detected the key, it immediately soared into the sky.

Breaking through the golden clouds, it headed straight into the universe.

Chen Tianming locked in the course and, following the star map coordinates he had calculated, began his long journey.

Chen Tianming had also roughly calculated the time to get home; he did not know how long it would take to return to the Chaos World.

But Chen Tianming had stored an endless supply of food in his spatial storage, and since everyone was a cultivator, flying for thousands or tens of thousands of years was not an issue.

However, just at this moment, Wanyue found Chen Tianming.

"There is something I must make clear to you. Whether it is me or Saliya... what is certain is that people like us were once the strongest beings of certain civilized planets, one could say we were the gods of those civilizations."

"Have you ever thought about this question: why is it that among the many planets in this universe, there is no cultural unification or collision of ideas, yet every single planet has stories of becoming a god and ascending?"

Chen Tianming responded immediately.

"What do you mean... are you saying this is suspicious, or just a coincidence?"

Wanyue shook her head.

"How can there be so many coincidences in this world? So, is it possible that at the very beginning of civilization, the direction was unified, and the strongest of each civilization is destined to leave the planet and head into the universe?"

Chen Tianming nodded.

The matter of ascending to the heavens was no exception, even for his home planet, Earth.

Moreover, the legends of different civilizations were remarkably consistent: they all believed that gods existed in the heavens, were tall in stature, and had golden holy light behind their heads.

Now even Chen Tianming felt that this was suspicious.

He pondered for a moment.

"Wanyue, let's assume for now that this is suspicious. Let's analyze it boldly: why, why does everyone consider ascending to the heavens to be a good thing?"

Wanyue fell silent for a moment.

Afterwards, as if a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, she hurriedly called Saliya over.

"Do you still remember how you became a Star Envoy?"

Saliya's expression was a bit dazed, and then she shook her head with empty eyes.

That memory seemed to have been deliberately erased, leaving a complete blank.

However, at this moment, Chen Tianming stood up.

"I know!"

Saliya and Chen Tianming, through Xu Ran's exchange, had experienced a superposition of souls.

A large part of their memories overlapped.

And the memories that had vanished from Saliya, leaving a blank, could be replicated within Chen Tianming's soul.

This could only mean one thing.

Saliya's memories had been sealed by someone.

At this moment, Chen Tianming reproduced for everyone the memories of Saliya that he had copied.

Through constant slaughter, Saliya had become the strongest on that planet.

The strongest person, crowned with the title of god.

As the great god of slaughter who had killed everyone, Saliya had clearly chosen to leave that planet at the time.

To go outside, to go to all places where there was life.

To kill all life!

She leaped high into the air, the full, sexy muscles of her legs tracing beautiful lines as she broke through the clouds and turned into a star, disappearing into the universe.

However, after Saliya left her original planet, because she had no sustained power, her body was directly pulled away by another planet with immense gravity.

Then, when Saliya landed, a blue light flashed across the horizon, and she vanished from the universe.

When she appeared again, Saliya's personality and identity had already changed.

Her original personality was gone, replaced by a divine essence, and she had become an emotionless Star Envoy walking the world.

At this moment, Wanyue also spoke up to corroborate this.

"To tell you the truth, my experience was similar, only the worlds were different, and the abilities of the strong born there varied in strength!"

Wanyue gathered everyone and told them about her own experience.

Chen Tianming listened.

The planet where Wanyue was from must have been a mythological planet, or a planet of deification.

From the time Wanyue was born, there were monstrous floods, and she had to use every ounce of her strength to become the strongest on the entire planet.

However, at the time of ascension, the mythological planet had already prepared an ascension ceremony.

Massive sacrifices, towering pillars of the gods, obscure and difficult-to-understand inscriptions, and cruel slave battles.

Wanyue soared into the sky, but what awaited her was not becoming a god or attaining the Dao.

As soon as she broke through the clouds, Wanyue arrived on the moon of her world.

Two things like shields directly clamped onto her and took her away, packaged up.

Hearing this, Chen Tianming already had a guess.

The strongest of both planets, after ascending, had been taken away by someone against their will.

Thinking back, wasn't the Fantasy World the same?

When he broke through the sky alone and fought against Remus, it did not alert the Star Gods.

But as Xu Ran appeared and the battle between the two became increasingly intense, only then did Lilia appear to manage things.

Lilia's appearance was not to quell the conflict; she intended to take away Chen Tianming or Xu Ran and then convert them into so-called Star Envoys!

It was just that because Chen Tianming possessed the Qilin bloodline and his memories were connected with Saliya's, Lilia had made an exception and let him stay.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianming took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"That is to say... the so-called rumors of ascension throughout the entire universe are all a conspiracy?"

This one sentence seemed to break some kind of rule.

The concept of ascension had been rooted in the entire universe for countless years, but now it was laid bare by Chen Tianming's words.

Everyone fell into silence.

However, just at this moment, Chen Tianming suddenly stood up and rushed to the back of the warship.

At an airlock, he stared intensely at the Fantasy Continent they were gradually moving away from.

The Fantasy Planet had already become just one of the many shining stars.

Everyone thought that Chen Tianming was just being nostalgic, but they didn't expect Chen Tianming to suddenly slap his thigh.

"Damn it!"
