Why Would an Aircraft Carrier Be Dispatched to Escort His Fishing Boat?

247: Chapter 247 Monkeys, Dogs, and SlimeJupiter. It is a gas giant with a mass over three hundred times that of Earth.

From deep space, its colors are primarily red, brown, and white, intertwined with one another.

Its atmosphere lacks oxygen, but the soil contains a massive amount of Wood Qi elements.

Most importantly, in the structure of the Solar System, it sits in the fifth orbit; one must cross Mars and the Asteroid Belt to reach this planet.

The distance between Earth and Jupiter is roughly over 600 million kilometers.

At this moment, Jupiter’s outer ring shows slow, twisting movements due to a sudden atmospheric disturbance, causing landslides and earth-shattering destruction wherever it passes.

It can be said that this planet has an unstable atmosphere and a harsh environment.

Even if humans intended to build a base here, they would need to carefully consider whether they could take root.

However, amidst this storm, there is an inconspicuous little green dot that remains unmoved, like an oasis.

Zooming in, this is unexpectedly a massive mountain range. Unlike the desolate, dusty, and gravel-filled mountains elsewhere, vegetation has actually grown here. Although the plants look somewhat strange, they are ultimately plants capable of photosynthesis.

On the periphery, there are plants several kilometers tall, looking like trees reaching the heavens.

Looking inward, the vegetation gradually becomes shorter, eventually turning into ordinary trees under one hundred meters, along with lush green grass and plants.

Dotting this greenery, a small stream winds through, its destination unknown.

At its source, there is a waterfall with torrential, clear water, looking no different from those on Earth.

At this moment, a group of monkeys is by the pool in front of the waterfall, scooping up the moon, grooming their fur, and some are even darting into the waterfall.

’Flower-Fruit Mountain.’

On a giant stone tablet not far away, there is a faint inscription carved by a finger.

The monkeys are playing.

Just then, the earth shakes in the distance. At the very top of the waterfall, a giant monkey head emerges, its eyes flowing like magma fire.

”The King is back, the King!”

The group of monkeys is not afraid; instead, they cheer.

The Deep Space Giant Monkey shrinks and leaps down from the air.

”Little monkeys, time for breakfast.”

Falling along with it is a huge bundle of giant bananas.

One banana is over a meter long.

With a boom, the giant bananas crash into the middle of the monkey group. Several monkeys, unable to dodge in time, are smashed into the dirt.

The Deep Space Giant Monkey steps forward, reaches out an arm, and pulls the monkeys out, only to see they have already fainted.

It cannot help but shout loudly: ”I told you all to properly absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on ordinary days. Can you not even manage this little reaction? Hurry up and eat breakfast; later, I will take you out of Flower-Fruit Mountain for training!”

”Roar, roar, roar!”

The monkeys chatter chaotically.

The Deep Space Giant Monkey turns around, its internal Fusion Pill operating, and a force acts upon its body, causing it to rush directly into the waterfall.

Inside the waterfall, there is a cave within a cave.

It is decorated in a post-Syrian war style.

Sofas, Simmons mattresses, and large beds are all available.

For food, there are handmade items as well as industrial snacks like Weilong Spicy Strips.

On the stone table, there are also terminal receivers from brands like Huali, Dami, OPO, and VIV.

”Old Fungus? Old Fungus Lao!”

As soon as the Deep Space Giant Monkey enters the waterfall cave, it shouts loudly.

However, Old Fungus Lao does not appear; instead, a creature with a human head and wolf body walks out, holding a bone.

It asks: ”What is it? Old Fungus Lao just received a call. The signal here isn’t great, so he climbed to the mountaintop.”

”Husky, why are you still eating bones? Among the three of us, your life level is the lowest. Hurry up and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Otherwise, next time we go to another planet, I won’t bring you.”

The Deep Space Giant Monkey says.

”First of all, I am a werewolf, not a husky. Secondly, I have a human name: He Shiqi.”

”Also! The reason my evolution is slow is purely because it doesn’t match this planet’s attributes. I am a Light-Wood attribute, and you are making me absorb it in a Dark-Wood environment. I would have to absorb it until... the year of the monkey.”

He Shiqi argues.

Although Dark-Wood is also a type of Wood Qi, there is still a difference.

What suits him best is actually Light-Wood; moonlight, for instance, has Light-Wood properties.

It is just that because of the construction of the Lunar Base and the creation of the space dock, the moonlight has become dimmer and dimmer, and there is no way to have a full moon.

Coincidentally, at that time, Marquis Huaguo told him, ”Let’s go to Jupiter together; it’s closer to Sirius, and Sirius has a similar white moonlight.”

For the sake of the white moonlight, He Shiqi boarded the Luan Bird and crossed the void.

After arriving, he realized that Sirius is actually in another galaxy, a full 800 million light-years away, even further than Ascension Star.

His main purpose in coming to Jupiter is to do manual labor for this Deep Space Giant Monkey.

Moving mountains. Diverting water. Doing landscaping work. Occasionally, he even has to babysit the little monkeys.

Every time he thinks about this boring life, he howls at the sky, wondering how long he has to endure this miserable life. I want to go home.

Marquis Huaguo smiles and pats him on the shoulder, cajoling him: ”Don’t be discouraged. Although Sirius is in another galaxy, at least we have taken a small step now. When Old Fungus Lao and I break through to the Level 3 Lifeform level, won’t we be able to tear through the void and take you directly to Sirius in a second?”

”Forget it, I suspect I won’t live until then.”

He Shiqi says, then cannot help but find a cool rock, half-leaning, and starts slacking off.

”...Hopeless Husky.”

Marquis Huaguo shakes his head, turns around, and rushes out of the waterfall to find Old Fungus Lao on the mountaintop.

On a knife-like giant peak not far away, a lump of human-shaped slime stands there, with a Nokia phone wrapped inside its body.

It emits an aged voice.

”The distance is too far; I can’t go back for now. Let’s participate in the online meeting.”

After saying this, it hangs up.

Marquis Huaguo strides hundreds of meters with each step. He arrives in front of Old Fungus Lao and asks, ”Old Fungus! Who were you talking to?”

The human-shaped slime turns back. Its body is slimy, but the flesh inside is transparent, barely able to support the shape of an old man.

It gurgles in reply: ”It was little Wei on the Luan Bird. He said that a high-level powerhouse has appeared among the humans, who seems to be on par with us. Now that he has wiped out Mai Gurong of the Organization base, he is preparing to rebuild a new human order and wants us to go back to participate...”

”What kind of person is so arrogant? Can they be on par with us? That’s impossible, right? There are simply too many humans absorbing Spiritual Qi over there; it’s hard for anyone to stand out.”

Marquis Huaguo shakes his head.

Life evolution is about devouring everything. Just as humans stand at the top of the food chain on Earth, other creatures basically become food on the plate.

It is impossible for humans to negotiate with lions, saying, ”You and I will each eat half.”

Human life evolution is the same. Under the condition that the total amount of Spiritual Qi is limited, the more people who evolve, the more it actually drags down the strongest.

Precisely because of this, he, Marquis Huaguo, took Old Fungus Lao and He Shiqi and chose to flee that densely populated star region.

Although Jupiter had a harsh environment when they first arrived, it had no living creatures.

After powerful modification, there is already a small area suitable for their survival.

For the three of them, this Jupiter is their temporary spiritual mountain abode.

”Little Wei said that the one who just emerged is called Jiang Chen.”

”Does that sound familiar?”

Old Fungus Lao asks Marquis Huaguo.

Marquis Huaguo is stunned, suddenly recalling the scene where he was attacked by a few old schemers in the Antarctic continent with high-energy particle beams and lightning strikes.

Now, of course, he is no longer afraid of particle beams or even ordinary thunder.

But now, when this past event is mentioned, he still cannot help but pound his chest: ”What! That kid didn’t die?”

He remembers that after rumors spread that this kid entered the Arctic Circle, there was no more news of him.

At the time, he thought he had frozen to death. He didn’t expect that he has actually revived now?

”It’s not certain if it’s the same person, but if it is the same person, you must be careful. Perhaps that guy is also a Level 4 Lifeform.”

Old Fungus Lao says.

According to his memories from his previous life, when a creature enters a Level 1 Life Form, its lifespan begins to double, and it gains various low-level special abilities.

A Level 2 Lifeform has degenerated lungs.

A Level 3 Lifeform has grown a new organ, the ’Fusion Pill’, with energy reaching at least the nuclear fusion level, belonging to a destruction-level creature.

But by Level 4 Lifeform, consciousness particles begin to disperse, and sensory perception begins to improve. By the peak of a Level 4 Lifeform, one can almost perceive all movements within a radius of ten thousand miles. Any high-energy object, just by wanting to approach it, is equivalent to a mouse trying to bell a cat, or a fishing boat trying to slap an interstellar warship—isn’t that purely seeking death?

”The two of us are at least mid-level Level 4 Lifeforms. Two against one, can’t we beat him?”

Marquis Huaguo is unconvinced. Being beaten back then was purely a delay tactic.

Now, fifty years have passed, and Jupiter even has small streams; can he still be bullied, the Deep Space Giant Monkey?

”Lightning, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth... Look, Lightning Qi happens to restrain your current Wood Qi.”

”Under the same level, you have to gather all five elements and evolve the Deep Space attribute to beat him.”

Old Fungus Lao says.

In his previous life, when refining pills, he mainly used Wood and Fire attributes. Also, with Wood, he would be restrained by Lightning.

To counter-restrain Lightning, he could only fuse dual attributes or special ones.

Similar to the Deep Space Giant Monkey, which concentrated the five major attributes in its previous life and evolved the Deep Space attribute, it could act according to its heart, perform quantum-level light-speed teleportation directly in deep space, and even open the heavens with its hands, forming its own system.

In short, creatures with the Deep Space attribute are unrivaled in their understanding of space. And this universe is a collection of space and time; being able to comprehend one of them is enough to build a god-level civilization.

”Damn it, bullying the monkey with power!”

Marquis Huaguo’s nose feels slightly sour.

He thought that after fifty years in the east and fifty years in the west, this monkey had finally turned the tables and could sing.

He didn’t expect that kid to still be haunting him.

”Queen Mother of the West, I want to go back to the Southern Heavenly Gate...”

Marquis Huaguo smiles bitterly.

”Speaking of Queen Mother of the West, I observed the celestial phenomena last night. The movement of celestial bodies in the Solar System recently is clearly very strange.”

Old Fungus Lao says, looking up at the sky.

”What’s strange?”

”Some galaxies around the Solar System are all rotating towards the Solar System. This means that the mass of the entire Solar System has increased a hundredfold in a short period of time, which is why it can pull other galaxies over.”

”Really? You aren’t cross-eyed and seeing things wrong, are you?”

Marquis Huaguo looks up in shock. He is only a Level 4 Lifeform and has not reached the point where he can confront the great disaster of stellar collisions.

Is he going to be a short-lived monkey in this life?

”I didn’t see it wrong. The trajectory of the Solar System has not been normal for a long time. There was a problem about fifty years ago, and now the deviation is just too large, so I observed it.”

Old Fungus Lao’s tone is determined.

”Why would the mass of the Solar System suddenly increase by dozens of times?”

Marquis Huaguo is confused.

Old Fungus Lao says: ”Of course, it’s because a large number of high-level lives have been reincarnated. With the recovery of these high-level lives, their previous consciousness particles and energy will slowly gather in the Solar System.”

”Those high-level lives are at least Level 5 or above. Their body mass and consciousness weight are extremely terrifying.”

”The mass of a small sea of consciousness is enough to rival the mass of the entire Solar System... which means that reincarnating one high-level life of Level 5 or above is enough to double the mass of the Solar System.”

”I suspect that quite a few creatures from the Southern Heavenly Gate have reincarnated into the Solar System.”

Old Fungus Lao analyzes.

During the original Battle of the Southern Heavenly Gate, many immortals and gods were seriously injured, so severely that they could not preserve themselves. They could only choose to preserve their sea of consciousness and go to other galaxies to reconstruct their bodies.

According to the plan, the star region to which each immortal and god was transmitted was different. Because being too concentrated would explode the entire star region.

Especially the Solar System, as the hometown of most Southern Heavenly Gate immortals and gods, only ten could return here. And that was randomly selected. No one knew who could return here.

Theoretically, a tenfold increase is what the Solar System can barely handle, but once it reaches a hundredfold, the structure is not very stable.

”The mass of the Solar System has now increased a hundredfold, which means that over a hundred immortals and gods have reincarnated back?”

”Then the remaining ninety immortals and gods, who transmitted them back?”

Marquis Huaguo is also confused.

He wasn’t sure where he had been transmitted to at first. Later, when he was transmitted back and his consciousness recovered, after coming out of the Antarctic continent, he realized that he had actually returned to the Solar System.

”This is unclear.”

”It was transmitted in batches. Theoretically, only ten immortals and gods returned.”

”Now I have calculated that I, you, and the Sky-Howling Dog are already three.”

”The remaining seven have not been found.”

”But what is even weirder is the other ninety, there is no trace of them at all.”

Old Fungus Lao is puzzled. He not only knows how to observe planetary movement but also can roughly estimate the transmission point of the next immortal or god.

He returned to Earth very early and has been calculating, but after calculating over and over, he only observed the Deep Space Giant Monkey and the Sky-Howling Dog. Other immortals and gods cannot be found.

”Is it possible that your calculation ability hasn’t recovered, so you can’t calculate it?”

Marquis Huaguo asks.

”Not recovered? How did I calculate you?”

”What I mean is, besides calculating the monkey and the dog, you don’t seem to have calculated any normal person either. Could it be that the other seven immortals and gods are of too high a rank, and you can’t calculate them now?”

Marquis Huaguo speculates.

”That’s also possible... However, the other seven immortals and gods are all trump cards; this probability is too low.”

If the other seven immortals and gods were all at the level of Old Fungus Lao, it might be possible to directly increase the mass of the Solar System a hundredfold. But he still doesn’t quite believe it.

Because in the Southern Heavenly Gate, his status was already one of the Three Pure Ones. Unless the other seven immortals and gods were all the Queen Mother of the West, Tathagata, and the Jade Emperor, but that probability is too low.
