Chapter 347 - Star Path
Chapter 347: Star Path
The universe was very vast. Sometimes, it would take thousands of years just to travel it. That was why only Mythical creatures were qualified to travel around the universe. This was because Mythical creatures had an unlimited lifespan and could move at the speed of light.
However, Wei Huo did not plan on traveling alone this time. He brought Chen Xuanyue into the Leviathan’s body. The Leviathan could be considered a huge biological battleship. There were many huge holes in its body. Some of them were warehouses, some were gas tanks, and some just contained land that could grow plants.
Besides, as long as one grasped the Heart of the Zerg of the Leviathan, one could modify its internal structure. One could even modify the Leviathan into a battleship that was half-mechanical and half-biological.
However, Wei Huo did not modify the Leviathan too much. He only obtained an ancient star chart from Kalan and entered the Leviathan’s body to make it depart.
They started moving toward the stargate near Jupiter.
The Leviathan stopped waving its tail and fins after reaching space. Instead, it relied on the 1,300 particle thrusters on its tail to accelerate. The 1,300 particle thrusters emitted blue radiation and gave the Leviathan a powerful driving force to travel in the universe.
There were many bumps and hollows on the surface of the Leviathan’s skin, as many small planets had hit its skin during interstellar travel. However, this did not affect it much.
The Leviathan moved forward at a high speed. The space around it suddenly fluctuated. The faster-than-light engine in the Leviathan’s body was working. The battleship could reach a distant destination in a very short time by folding space.
The faster-than-light engine was also known as the hyperdrive engine. After it started the hyperdrive engine, the gigantic Leviathan disappeared. It seemed to have turned into a ray of light that moved forward at an indiscernible speed.
The hyperdrive engine’s operating speed reached 30%, allowing the Leviathan to move at one-third of the speed of light compared to the folded space.
At that moment, as the space was folded, the scene around the Leviathan looked like a space-time tunnel. As the light was distorted, Wei Huo and the others saw a weird tunnel in the Leviathan’s body.
The process lasted for over an hour. Although the surrounding scenery returned to normal, the devastated Earth could no longer be seen. Wei Huo and the others left decisively without any hesitation.
At that moment, Wei Huo was standing in the command room of the Leviathan’s biological battleship. Chen Xuanyue and Little Xuanyue were both behind him. The command room had been modified, and there was a neural link in it. Wei Huo could control the Leviathan’s biological battleship through it. As Wei Huo’s mental coverage was huge, he could control the Leviathan from any corner of the biological battleship.
As his eyes continued absorbing the drifting mental strength, the range of his mental strength would increase. This was a Mythical creature, and Mythical souls could grow indefinitely.
At that moment, they saw an extremely huge planet through the observation window of the command room. The planet was brownish-red, and there were many spots on its surface. The most eye-catching thing about it was a huge red spot. This spot was like a huge eye, and in its center was a red pupil. It made one feel as if Jupiter was alive.
Earth could no longer be seen from this position, as it was too far away from them. It was almost impossible to see the light reflected by the sun. One had to use a high-power telescope to see it.
However, they were really close to Jupiter, so they could observe the gigantic planet.
The Leviathan did not get too close, as it would be captured by Jupiter’s gravitational force if it did. If that happened, Wei Huo would have to make a move to help them escape from Jupiter’s gravitational force.
There were several satellites revolving around the huge planet of Jupiter. Above Jupiter was a faint spatial fluctuation that should be the stargate.
The Leviathan started approaching the stargate. At that moment, the stargate was completely closed, so no one could see it fully. However, as the Leviathan’s biological battleship approached, some light gradually appeared on the stargate.
At first, they saw a faint circle of light. This circle of light was like a meteor that was operating in circles. The meteor was very dazzling, but it was still operating in the same spot. As the Leviathan approached, the circle of light gradually became brighter.
Then, ripples began to appear around the circle of light. The ripples were like water ripples that extended radially. One should not be able to see these ripples in vacuum, but because starlight shone from afar, they saw the starlight flickering in the ripples.
Ripples kept spreading out around the circle. These ripples were huge and could accommodate the size of the Leviathan’s battleship.
Controlled by Wei Huo, the Leviathan started moving toward the ripples.
Chen Xuanyue and Little Xuanyue watched this scene seriously. This was something they had never seen in their lives. The universe was really magical. This made them sigh.
Wei Huo took out the Ancient Star Road Map. It was a light blue ball as big as a lead ball. However, there were shining stars in the ball. The stars combined and formed a disc that looked exactly like the Milky Way.
This was a ball that depicted all the stars in the Milky Way. As long as one’s mind was immersed in the ball, one could see many faint blue lines. These blue lines connected one star after another. The lines at the core of the Milky Way were mostly thicker, and there were many of them. The lines at the edge of the Milky Way were thinner, and there were very few. Many places did not even have lines.
The Solar System was located at the edge of the Milky Way. Fortunately, there was a thin line that connected the Solar System to several star systems. This allowed the Leviathan’s biological battleship to reach another star system quickly through this Star Path. Otherwise, it would probably take millions of years to reach that place given the speed of the Leviathan’s biological battleship.
As Wei Huo was checking the star map, the Leviathan entered the stargate. There was a colorful tunnel inside the stargate. The tunnel kept spinning, and when the Leviathan entered it, it felt as if a car had driven onto the road from a muddy swamp. Its speed immediately doubled.
The Leviathan advanced rapidly. According to Wei Huo’s calculations, it would take them about three months to reach the next star system.
