Chapter 577 Perhaps, we are already dead!
The two quickly entered the depths of the dense forest.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, their thick trunks covered with moss and vines, and rare orchids with vibrant flowers grow on them.

A stream babbled nearby, and at a glance, several colorful little fish could be seen swimming in it.

Jiang Xinli glanced at the map and the family group chat.

Because Xueyin could ride the waves, the two of them left Sheng Tianze and the others far behind.

She looked at a few clean, large rocks by the river. "Xueyin, why don't we sit there and rest for a bit, and wait for Aze and the others?"

Having spent so long on the dark star with its swirling black sand, this lush, verdant, and fragrant primeval forest reminded her of ancient Earth.

Although it was fraught with danger, it had survived attacks by mutated giant worms and mutated poisonous mosquitoes.

She now has more confidence in her and Xueyin's abilities, and her mindset is relatively calm.

"Hmm." Xueyin glanced around, took her hand, and walked over.

The two sat down by the river, took out water, and drank it slowly.

After Jiang Xinli finished drinking her water, she looked at Xueyin and asked, "Do you think the world we live in might be a huge illusion?"

Whether it was interstellar space or the misty planet and ocean planet she had entered before, they were all just fictional illusions.

It appears that everything was orchestrated and driven by Jin Yuan behind the scenes.

All of this stemmed from the initial destruction of Rich Star 1 and her conviction and exile for serious crimes.

And the series of difficult trials she will experience afterward, including the necessary process for her to become a 4S-class Dark Female in the future.

I always feel like everything revolves around her.

Even her encounters and love with Bai Yao and Yun Bo seemed to be preordained.

Combined with last night's dream.

That nightmare was definitely not unfounded.

Perhaps, Jin Yuan used some kind of energy and dream to pull her into some void world.

Or perhaps it was her father, a golden dragon skilled in prophecy, who foretold some kind of future for her.

But in any case, it's highly likely that Jin Yuan wanted her to become a 4S-level Dark Female and then wanted to take her away.

Jin Yuan is a deity with the power to control the weather.

Yet He is free from any constraints and controls everything about everyone at will, which seems somewhat illogical no matter how you look at it.

In addition, spacetime can change at any time.

The flow of time can also be changed at any time.

It appears orderly on the surface, but in reality it is chaotic and haphazard, lacking any discernible order.

The boy's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed the water. "An illusion? You mean... everything before my eyes is fake?"

Jiang Xinli nodded, "Mm."

“Miss Xinli,” the young man leaned closer, his purple hair falling down, his eyes swirling with a dark undercurrent, “we are both living, breathing people.”

Jiang Xinli felt that the distance between the two was somewhat ambiguous, and subconsciously wanted to step back.

"Wait a minute," he said softly, raising his hand and gently stroking her lips with his cool fingertips, wiping away the last trace of moisture.

His collar opened slightly with his movement, revealing the boy's smooth collarbone.

Jiang Xinli glanced at it casually, then immediately looked away.

Following up on the previous topic, she let her imagination run wild and said, "Maybe we're already dead?"

Or perhaps, she's just dead.

Or, near death?

"Dead?" The boy frowned, sat back down, and fell silent.

The next second, he took her hand and placed it on his heaving chest. "Miss Xinli, can you feel my heart beating?"

Jiang Xinli withdrew her hand, pursed her lips, and said, "I was just guessing randomly."

“Back on ancient Earth, I read a lot of strange and wonderful scripts. Sometimes, I would subconsciously try to fit some of my ideas into those scripts I had read.” She chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Maybe it’s just my occupational hazard acting up.”

This idea is indeed somewhat absurd.

Hopefully, she's overthinking it.

"Occupational hazard?" The young man frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of the term. "Miss Xinli, if there's a chance, could you take me to see the ancient Earth where you lived?"

Ye Kuo once said that it was another mother planet of Jiang Xinli.

He hoped to have the opportunity to learn more about her.

Jiang Xinli nodded, "Yes, if I have the chance, I will. I will take Aze and the others with me to go and see it."

The boy cautiously scanned his surroundings, making sure it was safe, before continuing to ask, "What kind of planet is that?"

"Well, how should I put it?" Jiang Xinli thought for a moment, "I don't actually know much about interstellar travel."

"The technology on ancient Earth was not as advanced as that of interstellar space, but I feel that it was much more interesting and reassuring than life here."

"I'm usually very busy at work, but when I'm resting, I can go out for hot pot, watch movies, play games, or travel."

At least I won't be like I am now, burdened with the label of a serious criminal and constantly on the run.

And if you're not careful, you could lose your life.

However, danger as it may be.

She still prefers it here.

She has a loving husband and the chance to meet her biological parents.

Although she didn't know if they were still alive.
As for going back—

Her parents were able to send her to ancient Earth through a spacetime black hole.

That means that going back to ancient Earth is not impossible.

In technologically advanced interstellar space, time travel is quite normal.

It just takes some time.

Speaking of ancient Earth, Jiang Xinli suddenly felt a craving.

She suddenly missed those carefree weekends when she could sleep in until she naturally woke up, then order takeout, or perhaps a bowl of instant noodles.
Xueyin didn't quite understand some of the words she used, but he still looked at her with hopeful tenderness, "Miss Xinli, can you take me to do those things in the future?"

Jiang Xinli nodded, "Yes, I will go back if I have the chance."

Seeing that Sheng Tianze and the others were catching up, the two continued on their way.

After walking for a while, Jiang Xinli looked at the map, her brows furrowing.
"Strange, we're almost at the finish line, but it feels like we're still going in circles?"

Did the ghost hit the wall?

“Something is definitely not right.” Xueyin looked up. “That mountain peak is still behind us.”

He realized something was wrong just now.

I tried making some marks, but found that they returned to the same place after a short while.

"Moreover, the angle at which the sunlight was projected remained exactly the same."

"Wait a moment." Xueyin squatted down, put her ear to the ground and listened for a while, her brows gradually furrowing. "There's a sound coming from underground, very rhythmic, like a pulse beating."

He looked up at the towering mountain peak, "The pulsating center is there."

He raised his hand and released a sword-shaped wave that shot towards the mountain peak.

"Splash!" The waves pierced through the transparent barrier and crashed down onto the mountain.

"Strange, the barrier surrounding the mountain peak has suddenly disappeared."

Previously, I thought that the barrier was to prevent him from using his superpowers.

But now it seems that this may not be the case.

"Buzz!" The quantum computer vibrated, and Sheng Tianze and the others sent a message.

—Lili, that mountain might be alive, you must be extremely careful.
