Otherworldly Desert Dust
Chapter 709 - 651: The Universe Is So Vast_3
"I will come again, by then I hope you can regain your mana!" The Tidal Elephant Beetle, though defeated, did not concede.
It proudly issued a cosmic challenge to this strongest human, declaring that it would visit again in a certain time, and by then, it would make all of humanity tremble under the power of its high-dimensional life!
Speaking the harshest words, yet taking the most severe beating.
Fortunately, Gao Chang had not completely lost his mind; at least from his perspective, this seemingly invincible high-dimensional insect actually fled after failing the battle!
The Tidal Elephant Beetle finally escaped back, hiding within the white wormhole.
Gao Chang surveyed the surroundings from atop the fortress.
Despite being filled with energy cannons, these energy cannons seemed like artifacts from the last century, placed there purely for future generations to observe and shape historical concepts, never actually used in this battle.
And in this vast fortress, there was only Lu Cheng, a lone Spirit Awakener. Gao Chang found it hard to imagine how this young man, whom he once dismissed as immature, could contend with the high-dimensional insect and single-handedly drive away the Tidal Elephant Beetle!
Had this young man gained unimaginable ascension opportunities over the years, or was the Tidal Elephant Beetle too weak?
"Even if... even if you have driven away the Tidal Elephant Beetle, there are still terrifyingly strong ones among those who invaded. They probably belong to the queen monarch level among the cosmic constellations we can observe; they truly are not opponents our human strength can contend with," Gao Chang said.
As he spoke these words, Gao Chang suddenly thought of Lord Red Dragon and the Butterfly Fairy Universe Woman. They were definitely stronger than the Tidal Elephant Beetle, it's just their destructive desires were not strong...
"Red Dragon, Butterfly Fairy, and also a Gravity Cicada Woman. Additionally, high-dimensional insects have established a human skin factory on the entire Longevity Island, intending to continuously transport high-dimensional insects to our homeland. You may not know how vast the number of these life forms in the high-dimensional world is. Existences like the Tidal Elephant Beetle are just ordinary cosmic citizens there. When that day arrives, we will still face complete annihilation," Gao Chang still couldn't calm down.
"The Red Dragon and Butterfly Fairy you mentioned, could they be those two?" At this moment, Shen Wenhai suddenly pointed behind him.
On the stairs of the fortress, Wu Hen and Yu Yu were walking over; they had been observing Gao Chang all this time, wanting to see what he was going to do.
His behavior of risking his life to report back to humanity truly surprised Wu Hen.
It seems that as long as one is human, in the depths of one's heart, there is still a yearning for their homeland; at the moment of life and death, they will still stand up.
Gao Chang turned his head, seeing Wu Hen and Yu Yu was as terrifying as seeing King Yan and the Judge, terrifying him into fainting directly.
Even the Black Unihorn and Jade Lady Mantis deeply respected these two nobles of high-dimensionality. Someone of Gao Chang's status might not even be considered as a mosquito in their eyes.
"Strange, haven't we reverted to our human forms? Why does he still see us as high-dimensional insects?" Wu Hen asked puzzledly.
"My spell alters others' visual and behavioral cognition of us. Having seen our previous form, he assumes that appearance," Yu Yu explained.
"I wondered why he didn't recognize us. Is there a way to cast a spell to restore his normal cognition of us?" Wu Hen asked.
"He surprisingly turns out to be someone with principles." Yu Yu lifted the cognitive spell, avoiding Gao Chang fainting again upon waking up and opening his eyes.
"Yes, it's rare... Gao Yu Yan, take good care of him. It's not easy for him. His intelligence has now regressed to that of a three-year-old. I suppose you'll need to help him rebuild his worldview," Wu Hen said.
"Yes, I will take him around to see the differences in our world and also let him know we are still ourselves," Gao Yu Yan nodded, finally reuniting with a family member.
From childhood, her parents' concern for her brother Gao Huan was especially abundant.
Previously, Gao Yu Yan thought it was her family favoring boys over girls, but now she knows they were outsiders...
Conversely, Uncle Gao Chang treated her with great care, having no children of his own, he considered her his daughter.
She also knows her uncle hadn't done anything wrong; he merely chose the wrong path during a period of chaotic unknowns. Now that he is back, as his heart is attached here, that's good.
...
"Lord Wu Hen, why did you come back cloaked in a high-dimensional insect's skin?" Shen Wenhai asked.
"When I returned, the cosmic space had already warped; flying would require decades, so I took a shortcut through the high-dimensional insect's constellation to get here, conveniently uncovering one of their little schemes," Wu Hen briefly explained.
"Such minor matters shouldn't trouble you; we can handle them well," Shen Wenhai said.
"Well, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take my sister home for a meal, and unless something significant arises, do not disturb our family reunion," Wu Hen said.
"Alright, to be honest, I've long wanted to test my strength with these high-dimensional insects. It's been a while since I've felt the oppression of alien species, and I can't help but miss our days of survival in the cracks," Shen Wenhai said.
"It's better now, in the past, it wasn't easy just to stay alive," Gao Yu Yan said softly.
"Haha, of course, I'm joking. It's naturally better now, but the universe is so vast, I'm still intensely curious," Shen Wenhai said.
Now, humanity's top echelon possesses the curiosity capital for the indulgence of cosmic exploration.
