Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 269 - 224: The Method of Escape

This deduction, Li Feng didn’t even dare to make public to anyone.

He had once made a mistake because of his straightforwardness, which was to shatter the shared dream of humanity and force all humanity to accept that the world is virtual.

In fact, the form of life cannot be defined by a single concept.

Over the years, Li Feng had gradually realized that his former self was too reckless, mistakenly believing that the truth was what people needed.

But the truth is that most people don’t need this truth; the truth only needs the few who need to know it.

As for the conclusion at this moment, it was likewise not suitable to share with others, including all the scholars who had joined him in the quest to find a way out for humanity...

It was too suffocating, too despairing!@@@@

It made all the technology created by the world and those people who had endured countless hardships to evolve seem pitifully tragic!

Including Chief Li himself, after analyzing the data brought back by Rat, his consciousness had been drawn away, cautiously devising various rise-up plans, various annexation plans, and wrestling with the Human Clan Forces from Red Port who attempted to occupy Nuwa God End, all of which now seemed laughable.

Could humanity really not leave this Red Port and be forever kept in captivity here?

If such captivity were akin to the benevolence of gods, with a home like presence, then the spiritual world of humanity wouldn’t be confined to the scant and narrow wanderings of Red Port; the vast expanse of Home would accommodate the dwelling and reproduction of humans.

But the thought that the gods keeping them in captivity were high-dimensional insects.

How could Li Feng find peace in that?

Perhaps for ten years, a hundred years, these high-dimensional insects would maintain that sliver of pity and interest, feeding them at set times.

But what about hundreds of years later, thousands of years later?

If the future was a death abyss beyond sight, then if they didn’t escape while everyone still had blood and fighting spirit, after one generation, two generations, three generations, once the thoughts were deeply rooted, even if they knew the ultimate truth, they would likely be completely degenerated, lacking the ability to survive outside; even if the cage were opened, they would crawl back into it, continuing to wag their tails and beg for mercy ...

Was this really the fate humanity was heading towards?

Li Feng couldn’t accept it!

He took a huge risk to shatter the shared dream of humanity, hoping that the lineage of Nuwa God End could become strong on its own and truly stand firm in the Otherworldly Dust. Despite signs of improvement and emergence over the years, everything had returned to the worst era in the end.

"With our current strength, any action like this gecko trying to crawl out of the crevice would bring the risk of extinction to all humanity," he said.

"Pretending to be unaware and lurking in silence won’t work either; our awakening ability has been blocked, unable to obtain Yuan You from the outside world. The evolution chain gate of all humanity is essentially cut off."

"Gradually, the fangs and claws we’ve just sprouted will degenerate, the supernatural will fade, and technology will not be able to break through any further."

"Our entire Human Clan will gradually become domesticated pets, and even as we degenerate, losing our last decorative and amusement value, we’ll be trampled to death, tossed into their trash bin."

"This is a slow extinction."

These words were Li Feng’s heartfelt sentiments.

He couldn’t share this helplessness and insignificance with other eager colleagues but could only confide in Wu Hen, who had glimpsed just a corner of the higher dimension.

It was evident that Chief Li was also lonely, a lonely contributor searching for a way out for humanity, aware that he had committed a sin no one in humanity could forgive, yet he was willing to bear it and also willing to make amends.

If it was an absolute god’s perspective.

Then they wouldn’t have had to disguise themselves as Marquis to patrol Red Port.

Therefore, if the various clan forces make some minor moves and deliberately avoid the eyes of the Marquis, they can also act without the gods or ghosts being aware.

"There’s another matter that should also help alleviate our anxiety," Wu Hen said.

"What is it?"

"Yin Pole Xuan Woman’s Ascension to Hua Chen wasn’t hunted by the high-dimensional insects. This indicates that even if they are high-dimensional insects, there is a limit to their abilities," Wu Hen said.

Upon hearing this, Chief Li had a sudden realization.

For a moment, the dense clouds ahead seemed to have opened a bright passageway.

Yes, these high-dimensional insects do have fears and concerns!

They are not yet so powerful that they can capture the Immortals and the Yinji Divine Race as pets.

Moreover, their ultimate goal is not to defeat the high-dimensional Insect Clan but to escape from Red Port without them noticing!

"This piece of information you’ve provided is extremely precious indeed!" There was a sparkle in Chief Li’s eyes.

Red Port is not a place where no one can escape.

Liu Mengying left unscathed.

Presumably, the high-dimensional insects don’t understand everything about the Ten Thousand Veins of humanity and don’t realize that a being like Liu Mengying, once ascended to Hua Chen, would be in a state of free and easy Immortals, beyond the high-dimensional insects’ reach, so they didn’t show up.

In terms of value, ten times larger Red Port is not as precious as a single Liu Mengying; it doesn’t make sense for the high-dimensional insects not to be interested in an ascension like that of Liu Mengying.

"In fact, we are not without hope of escape. You should know that the roaming of Nuwa God End spans across space... but in fact, based on our data inference, Nuwa God End may also have mastered the Time Law," Li Feng said.

Time Law???

Wu Hen remembered from his conversation with Liu Mengying; she too had mentioned that Nuwa God End’s roaming was not purely spatial. She could even step into the past or move towards the future!

"It’s just a pity that Nuwa God End’s ability to cross time is more akin to a random number, like a rainbow after the rain, elusive and unpredictable," Chief Li said.

Humans tend to have more of an "understanding" communication with Nuwa God End.

Humans need to understand everything about Nuwa God End.

Perhaps Nuwa God End is also a higher-dimensional being. She can see the suffering of all creatures but cannot communicate with the dimension where humans reside, only able to translate in special ways. The divine miracles witnessed by people in the past to some extent also indicate divine guidance and attempts to help humanity.

People need to understand these good intentions.

"Space Law probably isn’t enough to face the high-dimensional insects since many ancient mythical species also possess similar abilities. If we could get Nuwa God End to use the Time Law... we might have a chance to escape Red Port," Wu Hen said.

In terms of speed, Hao Clan’s Ark has reached its limit, which is also a spatial leap to some extent.

But a pure spatial escape is doomed to fail, the high-dimensional insects can still intercept.

Adding the Time Law might give us a chance!
