Xyrin Empire - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Separated (Part One)

Xyrin Empire objects were of top-notch quality.

However, even such items had their limits. If a person was extremely unlucky, even a Xyrin Empire device could encounter a problem that had an infinitesimal possibility of happening.

Pandora’s spatial transition had worked very smoothly; it was working very well just like the morning sun. Unfortunately, within the first ten seconds of transition, some remains from a long-destroyed world—a planetoid protective screen formed from a combination of time, space, and laws—slammed into Pandora. The morning sun suddenly encountered a sudden torrential downpour.

At this time, Sicaro managed to take over Pandora’s navigating responsibilities; we then knocked into yet another fragment from another planet.

In this grave, crucial moment, Sandora displayed her decisiveness and intelligence as a Xyrin Emperor as she immediately activated her own navigating system as she accurately rectified our course. We then struck into a third piece of fragment.

When Sandora collapsed as well, I knew that only I could take over the job now. Although I was a half-past-six Xyrin Emperor, I successfully dug out the method to overtake the navigation system from the data trove in my head as I grasped the essence of using this system as well.

After that, when I was just confidently planning to do my first planetary transition on my own, the navigation device that had endured much hardship finally broke apart.

This was what it meant by disasters piling up one after another. The probability of striking a planet fragment during the spatial transition was not even one in a thousand; furthermore, the chance that this fragment’s speed and strength could affect a Xyrin navigation system was not even one-third of ten thousand. We had actually slammed into three such fragments; this probability was…

What was one in a thousand multiplied by one-third of ten thousand!

In any case, this probability was extremely low…

When I woke up, I realized that I was within a deep and dark forest. Come to think of it, why was it that whenever I transmigrated, I would end up in a forest? Couldn’t the target location be somewhere a little more creative?

Thousands of kilometers away, in an abandoned shack, Sicaro—who had crashed through the roof—suddenly felt chilly all over.

I stretched myself a little as I realized that I had not suffered heavy injuries; my clothes were just only covered in dust. It seemed like although the spatial teleportation coordinates had gone a little haywire, the landing had been rather safe.

In that abandoned shack once again, Sicaro once again shivered, his clothes in tatters after that crash through the roof.

As I linked to my spiritual connection, I could distinctly locate Sicaro, Sandora, and Pandora. Although they were rather far away, linking up had not been a problem. Sandora also sent me a message, saying that Lin Xue was with her and asking me not to worry.

Although she possessed strong abilities—in this still-unknown Alternate World, Lin Xue self-preservation capabilities were the weakest.

The series of events just now had caused a little malfunction in the spatial transition systems of Pandora and the others. According to the information that Pandora sent me, it was going to be a day before all the equipment could be fixed. As such, we couldn’t link up just yet. However, Pandora told me that Qianqian and Big Sister were now being protected by two powerful Xyrin Apostles called the Spatial Gemini, and I wasn’t that concerned with their safety now.

I dusted myself as I started to take a good look at my surroundings.

Unease.

This was the first feeling I got from this forest. A feeling of malice traveled from all directions as if the forest was resisting my integration into it.

This feeling was rather strange; I did not know how I could describe it. The surroundings were dark and thick greenery while towering trees hid the skies. From in between the foliage, I couldn’t even see a sliver of light filtering through. If my body had not been enhanced by Sandora and my senses and mental state had been strengthened after becoming a Xyrin Emperor, I would not have been able to even see my fingers. This was very unusual; no matter how thick and dense a forest was, it was not possible that not even a little light entered it. Unless… the entire forest was enveloped by something.

I took a deep breath. The air around was cold and damp; it was exceptionally cold and did not have the warmth that normal forests had. A stifling feel came from every plant around me; it actually felt a little familiar. I was suddenly stunned; I actually could sense a crazed desire to attack from this vegetation!

This forest was filled with elements that made one uneasy.

These trees could not possibly attack me; based on my basic knowledge of all types of planetary systems that Pandora and Sandora had forcefully taught me, I could easily tell that the vegetation here was not demonized. Although I was being surrounded by an invasive-type of aura, the immovable trees did not pose any threat to me. The premise was I didn’t proactively go near to them.

Not go near them?

Unfortunately, that was not possible. I did not intend to stay here and wait as I starved.

As a Xyrin Emperor, having to act like a loafer in front of ordinary people for a long time, it was time for me to showcase my abilities. If not, I might actually really forget all the instructions and concepts in my brain.

My face grew serious as I grew relaxed, and I seemed to gather a force around me. Cough, cough; as there was no audience this time, I could actually omit these steps.

I easily linked-up with the Xyrin home-star as I gave it its orders and confirmed the launch and all the sequences, all within one second. Whenever Sandora and Pandora were free, they would help me to elevate my mental toughness and long-range control abilities. From the looks of it, the training had paid off.

According to Sandora—although I was a carbon-based being that was inferior to Xyrin Apostles in all aspects, my mental strength was special and actually could contact the Xyrin home-star unaided. As such, the research fanatic Sandora had used thirty percent of her mental faculties to research my mental strength and capacity. As a result of the training, I could now contact the Xyrin home-star in less than a second!

As a continuous white light that had a low buzzing sound slowly swept by, a few-hundred-meter-wide pathway was carved out from the dark and strange forest as beautiful sunlight finally permeated and entered. The sunlight dispelled the suffocating aura in the forest immensely.

I patted off the dirt on me as I walked along the vast space that the Xyrin home-star had bombarded as I walked deep into the forest. In that direction, I could feel that something was different from the rest of the surroundings there; some kind of energy that brought peace and joy.

…

In a valley not far from this forest…

Qianqian and Chen Qing held onto each other’s hands tightly; they were at a loss at what to do regarding what they were looking at.

Qianqian and Chen Qing had been in the hotel room they shared where Qianqian was comforting Chen Qing, asking her not to worry about Chen Jun and the others.

Until some object within Qianqian’s small bag started to shake violently…

When the two had regained consciousness and nursing a splitting headache, they realized that they were now within a foreign valley. Two stars in the sky that were obviously smaller than Earth’s Sun were shining light down on this planet.

After a few minutes of debating, the two finally confirmed something: they had transmigrated, from the looks of it, to a barren land.

Qianqian was a very courageous, carefree girl while Chen Qing’s determination was far stronger than ordinary men. However, facing this situation, they didn’t fare better than ordinary girls; they immediately felt very flustered and fell into deep despair at the thought of never seeing their loved ones.

At this moment, a very strange pair of twins had appeared.

They had the same silver, short bob hairstyle with completely identical, beautiful features. They wore the exact same clothes that looked like war robes, lined with golden specks. The only difference was in their eyes.

The left eye of one of them radiated a blue, ghostly glow while the right eye of the other burned a deep, red flame that was terrifying.

“You… who are you two?”

Qianqian regained her composure a little as she asked in a quivering voice. As much as the twins were just quietly watching them, Qianqian was sure that this pair was not human twins and possessed power that could easily kill her and Chen Qing.
