Chapter 453 No Survivors
puff.

It sounded like a bubble bursting, or like fragments shattering; the sound was extremely faint yet deafening, originating from the deepest part of consciousness.

In that instant, the entire waters around the outlying islands seemed to be put on pause. The enormous golden-red mushroom cloud, the high-temperature flameballs that vaporized the sea and evaporated the islands, the shockwaves that swept across the Pacific Ocean, the thunder in the sky, the sea monsters beneath the surface, and the indescribable strange creatures all froze in that moment.

Inside the cockpit of the Infinite, Lin Xian, KIKI, Director Ding, Chen Sixuan, and Viola all froze.

Out of the corner of Chen Sixuan's eye, the Infinity passed by the abyss's gaping maw. The flashes of the detectors and sonar systems froze at that moment. In Lin Xian's vision, strange flowers were blooming. Within them, darkness was slowly being released. In Lin Xian's pupils, it was as if he had fallen into a planet in the abyss, and the world he was in was just a cave below, with the blackness being the cave's exit.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, perhaps for only a second, a mere instant. In the entire deep sea, the Infinity and the nuclear submarine remained motionless, seemingly frozen in place, as if the seawater had transformed into solidified matter.

However, at this moment, the countdown numbers in Lin Xian's eyes remained unaffected.

从16:10:33,平静的跳到了16:10:32
hiss!
As the countdown ticked, Lin Xian took a breath. He didn't feel any change. At this moment, his pupils narrowed and focused on the dark center of the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes. He couldn't help but frown because the darkness in the center had spread out and swallowed the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes' cultivation chamber, as well as Ding Junyi's hand and vines.

"Director Ding."

Upon seeing this, Lin Xian immediately shouted, but no sound came out. When he looked up, he was shocked to find that Ding Junyi was completely still. Lin Xian then looked at the others, and everyone in the cockpit seemed to have been frozen in time.

what happened?

Lin Xian's expression changed drastically. He saw that the fragments floating in the air did not fall to the ground due to gravity, and the seawater bubbles outside the porthole were also frozen. The strangest thing was the black hole that the silver dragon had created. The small black hole, which was like a gravitational lens, was now completely black, which looked extremely strange and abrupt in the space.

Because this darkness has no edges, it looks as bizarre as if a god had removed this piece from space. If you had to describe it, it would be like a piece of black that has been perfectly smoothed by Photoshop, with no thickness and no edges. A black hole is neither a hole nor a sphere, as if light and dimensions do not exist.

He immediately realized something, but why could he still move while the countdown remained unaffected?
"Viola!"

Lin Xian tried to call out to Viola, but received no response. He looked at Viola and prepared to reach out and touch her, but just as his fingers were about to touch Viola's mechanical arm, he stopped and his pupils trembled slightly, as if he had seen something.

At this moment, a faint blue light was frozen in the integrated central pipeline behind Viola's neck. It was the photon transmission array of Viola's quantum processing center. And at this moment, the tiny signal light also stopped.

The light stopped.

At this moment, Lin Xian had the illusion that he had escaped the real world; he could almost hear his own breathing.

Doubt, panic, confusion, anxiety—various emotions welled up in Lin Xian's heart.

Just then, he suddenly realized that he was surrounded by elongated light and shadow, like the strings of a puppet on his hands and body. The difference was that he had them all over his body. These rays of light went vertically downward, pierced through the floor of the Infinity Number, and extended infinitely to a certain place.

Lin Xian raised his hand in confusion. The movement of his five fingers caused the light and shadow below to be 'affected' as well. It seemed to be some kind of reflection of himself. However, in this reflection, he saw a distorted line. The distorted line was wrapped in his own reflection. Lin Xian raised his hands to try to see clearly, but when he looked closer, he was shocked to find that it was actually the shadow of another person.

Chu Yan!

Lin was shaken. He didn't understand the current situation. What did these lights and shadows represent?
Why is his connection with Chu Yan in this form?

Finally, Lin Xian focused his gaze on the black void in front of him and took a step forward.

But inside it was pure black.

Then, Lin Xian tried to extend a finger closer.

At that moment, an incredibly bizarre scene unfolded!

The moment Lin Xian's finger approached the black hole, he saw a twisted finger appear in the black hole, moving towards his fingertip like a mirror.

But the finger wasn't synchronized; it only moved closer briefly before retracting.

The next moment, a face that looked as if it had been distorted by water suddenly appeared in the black hole, which immediately startled Lin Xian. The face stared wide-eyed, as if in terror.

But in the blink of an eye, the face disappeared again, followed by a dazzling beam of azure energy, which then vanished once more.

This bizarre scene astonished Lin Xian, who immediately moved closer to try and see what was inside the black hole.

Nothing.

"What the hell is that?!"

Lin Xian pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and raised his finger to activate the mechanical energy cannon, preparing to fire a shot at the black hole to test it out.

Swoosh!

As the mechanical energy cannon was activated, Lin Xian's fingers seemed to be wrapped in some kind of metal device, and the sound of a motor storing energy could be faintly heard. Then, a blue energy light shone.

However, just as he was about to fire it subconsciously, he saw the blue flash on his finger and suddenly felt a thunderous roar in his mind. He froze for a moment and immediately put away the mechanical energy cannon.

At this moment, Lin seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

He looked at the black hole in front of him and finally realized that the shadow appearing in the black hole was very likely himself!
He extended his finger, approached to test it, and then prepared to use the mechanical energy cannon but immediately gave up. Wasn't this exactly the moment when the finger, the face, and the blue flash appeared in the dark ripples just now?

It turned out that the terrified face was actually his own.

Lin Xian frowned, his heart pounding. What surprised him most was that the actions of the 'opposite' were exactly what he would do a few seconds later.

In other words, what's inside that black hole is yourself a few seconds from now!
At this moment, Lin Xian looked at the elongated shadow cast on his body again, and in that instant, he remembered a science fiction movie he had once seen. It was a movie about a 4-dimensional world, in which time was a physical existence, and the past and the future were happening 'simultaneously'. Standing in this dimension, he could see himself at any point in time.

Tick, tick.

The countdown in front of Lin Xian continued to tick away relentlessly.

"This countdown will not be affected."

"So this is the power of the Silver Dragon's 100,000 Mistake Flower Buds blooming? It's not just a dimensional bubble, but a dimensional entity?"

Ta-ta, tap-ta.

As if some sound was making noise, Lin Xian kept thinking. But when he looked at the black hole again, he found that it had doubled in size. At this moment, in addition to the Silver Dragon's 100,000-fold incubation chamber, it had also completely swallowed Ding Junyi's hands.

A figure reappeared in the black hole. Lin Xian frowned. He was indeed preparing to get closer to take a look, but then he realized that if he didn't go to check, would a time paradox occur, causing the original spacetime line to deviate?
No, no, the current problem is how to eliminate the 100,000 dimensional bubbles of this silver dragon, and then have everyone avoid the deep-sea monster and escape into the super vortex array.

At this moment, a strange idea suddenly flashed through Lin Xian's mind.

"But if I could see the timeline, wouldn't I be able to know in advance whether we succeeded or not?"

So he looked at the black hole, where the figure inside had not disappeared and was going deeper and deeper, as if it were 'waiting' for something.

Lin Xian frowned, took a deep breath, and decisively moved closer. As he approached the black hole, the view in front of him began to change strangely. The edge of the black hole flowed like melting oil paint, the originally still cockpit control panel was stretched into spiral colored stripes, and the stagnant seawater outside the porthole rippled as if it were separated by a layer of scalding oil film.

When Lin Xian's gaze entered the black hole, he was shocked to find that the center of the black hole was not pure black, but rather showed countless overlapping silhouettes of train carriages—there was the image of Chen Sixuan and Xiao Yuan debugging the electromagnetic cannon in carriage 2, the afterimage of KIKI and Sasha playing video games and laughing together, the tender lettuce sprouting from Ding Junyi's fingertips in carriage 3, and the image of Lou Da and Huo Ge drinking tea in carriage 5. These scenes from different points in time pierced his vision like shards of glass.

These images were divided into dense grids, endlessly filling the entire field of vision. Everyone was moving about vividly, as if life was still going on, and the Infinity was still speeding along the zombie-infested tracks.

Seeing these images, all the guesses were confirmed. The Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes had indeed unfolded into a dimensional entity. Lin Xian wanted to find the answer, so he quickly searched for the timeline after entering the deep sea within these grid images. His right hand, reaching towards the black hole, quantized and discretized the moment it touched the boundary. Skin texture decomposed into shimmering gray data streams, and skeletal outlines transformed into nebula-like points of light. He flowed through time, and soon, he saw the Infinity Ship submerged in water. At this moment, the entire event horizon of the black hole was rapidly expanding, and just as Lin Xian was about to touch it, the image was pulled back again.

Is our view about to disappear?
An idea sprouted in Lin Xian's mind, and he immediately found the Infinity Ship entering the deep sea again.

Finally, he saw a deep black area, in which he was enveloped in dark seawater, the Infinity silently floating, and time moving in all directions.

Lin Xian searched quickly. The geothermal device exploded and plunged into the deep sea. There were sea cliffs and whirlpools, surrounded by sea monsters. Lin Xian found that moment and saw his own bewildered actions.

However, time did not stand still in these perspectives. Lin Xian zoomed in on the scene and was shocked to find that in that critical moment, Ding Junyi plucked the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Coins. The instant the flower bud burst open, an entire dimensional area disappeared into darkness. Then, Lin Xian looked into the distance and saw a new area.

The flower buds burst open, and the seabed seemed to have been transformed into another time and space!
Boom! !

Drop drop drop drop.

"Lin Xian, all our markers have disappeared!" In the cockpit of the Infinite, Chen Sixuan looked at the silver dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes after the spatial ripples and immediately said to Lin Xian.

Lin Xian glanced at Chen Sixuan with a complicated expression, then looked at Kiki, Ding Junyi, and Viola around him. His expression froze for a moment before he called out.

"KIKI, grab onto the Infinity and sink!"

"it is good!"

With a thunderous roar, KIKI used her telekinesis, and Lin Xian also activated the Mechanical Heart. The propulsion system of the Infinite was running wildly, overcoming the powerful water pressure and undercurrents in the turbulent underwater torrent, and rushing straight down into the dark abyss below the sea cliff!

"The cliff has a drop of 6150 meters!"

In the abyss, the Infinity was like a speck of dust, plunging madly into the endless deep sea!
In the instant the searchlight pierced through, a hellish scene crashed into everyone's pupils. The area below the front of the car suddenly plunged into absolute nothingness. The seabed cliff walls stretched vertically into the bottomless abyss as if cleaved by a god's axe, and the exposed sedimentary rock layers appeared as pale as corpses in the beam of light.

Empty!
A violent tremor emanated from the pressure-resistant hull of the Infinity. KIKI looked at the sonar system, where countless red dots were now moving completely away from the Infinity. She immediately let out a long sigh of relief and exclaimed in surprise...

"Wow, it actually worked! Those monsters are all erupting towards the geothermal well!"

As the Infinity rapidly descended, the shockwave from the massive nuclear explosion was gradually weakened, and the seabed beneath the cliff sank with a deafening roar.

"Lin Xian." Ding Junyi, who had just released the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes, withdrew her powers and looked at Lin Xian, saying, "The dimensional cavitation effect seems to be better this time than before, and the mark was erased very smoothly."

"The descent speed is 12 meters per second, and the diving attitude is controllable," Viola also said.

Chen Sixuan's face darkened: "Isn't this too fast? This trench is so deep. If we get sucked in by this current, won't we lose control and sink directly?"

"No." Lin Xian pressed the button on his earpiece: "Ryan, how are you guys?"

"Whew, all is well, we're behind you." In the abyss, the black nuclear submarine turned on its searchlights and quickly descended, following a hundred meters above the Infinity.

"We'll reach that super vortex array in a few minutes, so we can't let our guard down," Lin Xian said.

drip.

Just as Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, a red light suddenly flashed on the sonar detector.

Everyone was immediately startled and looked over, only to see the red light flash briefly before disappearing.

"what happened?"

“In the scan path just now, those sea monsters on the cliff have all moved away, and all the strange entities should no longer be approaching in this direction,” KIKI said.

"Could it be a scan error?"

“Viola?” Lin Xian asked.

"We're approaching a scan; it could be the result of a thermal eruption in the Earth's core," Viola responded.

"Lin Xian!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came through the earphones.

Shiori.

"Monster, it's below us!!!"

This was the first time Lin Xian had heard Shiori scream with such trembling fear.

As the sound from the headsets filled the air, everyone in the cockpit looked out the portholes. Searchlights shone into the endless abyss, where only countless specks of dust floated in the black sea.

At that moment, the sonar detector beeped again.

drop.

Red light flashes.

Kiki looked over, frowning, and said, "What's going on? We still haven't found it. Could it be another invisible guy?"

"No!"

Lin Xian stared at the sonar detector screen, a chilling sensation running through him, his heart skipped a beat, and he realized a terrifying possibility.

The sonar detector has detected it, but the object's range exceeds the detector's entire coverage area!

Giant ocean god! !

Realizing something, Lin Xian suddenly shouted at Viola.

"Viola, right now..."

"Lin Xian!" Chen Sixuan shouted as she turned around, her beautiful eyes filled with panic.

boom!
However, before Lin Xian could finish speaking, the dust outside the porthole became visibly murky and quickly covered the porthole completely. You have to know that there is a deep sea more than 6000 meters below this cliff. How could the mud from the trench rise to such a height?

But it was too late. In an instant, the alarms of the Infinity and Viola sounded only once before Lin Xian saw the Infinity's body completely torn apart in his sight. The entire train was instantly annihilated into fragments by the high pressure of the seabed and the mountain-like impact. Everyone inside the train died silently, including the nuclear submarine. Blood mist mixed with seawater and vanished into nothingness.

Below the cliff, an enormous figure seemed to have drained the seawater from the trench, cracking the seabed, rising like a mountain in the movement of the earth, squeezing the seabed of the island's continental shelf, raising a thousand-meter tsunami, and appearing in the world with a roar.

In the turbid underwater currents, only a few train carriages and submarine sections, shattered into pieces, sank toward the abyss. The circuits and lights inside the carriages flickered a few times before disappearing completely into the darkness.

No one survived.
