I became Superman

Chapter 101 Candle Dragon (Thanks to Remnant Dragon for the reward)

Liu Xi had no time to think, because Zhou Ming's hand had already gripped his head.

Zhou Ming said, "I'll ask you one more time, who did what happened in Chengdu?"

Liu Xi felt a chill run down his spine; he could sense that Zhou Ming's killing intent was almost tangible.

This guy really wants to kill him!

Liu Xi exclaimed urgently, "He's in the Arctic!"

"There was a small igloo there, and he was hiding there. I had no idea about his plans beforehand; I was just gathering information for him."

"I don't know either, he actually—"

Click!

With a crisp crack, the skull of the eldest prince, Liu Xi, was crushed to pieces.

Zhou Ming leaped into the air, smashing through the roof of the Ziwei Pavilion, and sped off to the north.

The Ziwei Pavilion was deathly silent.

The gods stared in disbelief at the corpse of the eldest prince, Liu Xi, unable to accept it for a long time.

The prince of the New Han Empire, the son of the god-like emperor, was openly assassinated in the heart of the empire!

No, this isn't an attack, this is clearly an execution.

Never before have the gods been so aware that:

The world has changed!

For over five hundred years, the new Han Dynasty imperial family has encountered a true challenger.

What will become of the empire?

All the gods and spirits sensed a precarious atmosphere.

Xiong Shen Liu Feng said in a deep voice, "The best course of action now is to invite the emperor back. Liu Yi, go to the Time-Space Bubble immediately and report this matter to the emperor."

Liu Yi said, "Only the crown prince, under the emperor's guidance, can enter the time-space bubble—"

"We can't care about those rules anymore!"

Liu Feng said sternly.

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go right now!"

The entrance to the time bubble is located underground in the palace.

Liu Yi carried Liu Xi's headless corpse to the entrance of the time bubble.

It was like a dark cave in space, with not a single ray of light inside.

Liu Yi had never entered a time bubble before, and he was also nervous, but he knew that this was a tremendous opportunity for him.

Once inside the time bubble, the position of crown prince was confirmed.

However—given the current situation, it's uncertain whether the Crown Prince of the New Han Empire will be able to maintain his position in the future.

Liu Yi cleared his mind of distractions and plunged headfirst into the entrance of the spacetime bubble, where he was immediately enveloped in profound darkness.

This is a darkness that cannot be experienced anywhere else.

This darkness completely blurred time and space.

Liu Yi understood that this was not his imagination.

He is now located between the spacetime bubble and the real world; he is surrounded by spacetime outside of his own.

What is it like outside of time and space?

No one can say for sure, not even the powerful ancient gods.

They can only envelop themselves in spacetime bubbles and temporarily exist in a realm outside of spacetime, but they will eventually have to return to the real world.

However, some ancient gods' time bubbles may unintentionally lose contact with the real world and become lost outside of time and space. Where they drift to and what dangers they will encounter are things that even the ancient gods can only speculate about.

Liu Yi walked for an unknown amount of time in this deep darkness before finally seeing a glimmer of light ahead.

He quickened his pace, the light ahead grew brighter and brighter, and finally he left through the passage behind him completely, entering a dreamlike world.

This is a disc-shaped world, its extent unknown. Looking around, Liu Yi estimated it to be at least nearly a thousand miles wide.

At the edge of the disc-shaped world, a giant serpent coils its body around the world, defining its boundaries and isolating it from the deepest darkness outside.

The giant serpent had a crimson body, a human face, and its head hung high in the sky, its eyes illuminating the entire world.

In the center of this disc-shaped world, a towering mountain pierces the clouds. Scattered throughout the world are numerous villages and cities of all sizes, with bustling people coming and going, creating a vibrant and prosperous scene.

Liu Yi never expected that the time bubble would contain such a scene.

He had initially thought it was just something like a soap bubble, but now it seemed to be a miniature world.

In that case, where should he look for his father?

As Liu Yi hesitated, he suddenly felt a sacred gaze fall upon him.

He looked up and saw that it was the giant snake with a human face looking at him.

Liu Yi understood that this must be Zhulong.

He flew towards the sky, and the higher he flew, the more amazed he became by the greatness of the Candle Dragon. The overwhelming sense of its colossal size revealed the majesty of a true deity.

In the end, he could no longer see the full appearance of the Candle Dragon, and could only instinctively fly towards the Candle Dragon's sun-like eyes.

When he finally got close to Zhulong's eyes, he suddenly noticed a familiar little figure in Zhulong's eyes.

Liu Yi exclaimed with delight, "Father!"

The emperor awoke from his deepest stillness. He noticed Liu Yi's presence and saw Liu Xi being carried on Liu Yi's back. His expression immediately turned grim.

The emperor asked, "What's happening outside?"

Liu Yi said sadly, "In the days since Father Emperor left, the world has been in chaos. First, the earth in Xichuan Province collapsed, and the gods of the empire rebelled. Then, Zhou Ming suddenly came to the capital to question us and killed my elder brother."

"Now the only option is to ask Father to return and take charge of the overall situation."

Zhou Ming walked leisurely through the thick Arctic snow.

Not far away, a polar bear was harassing a walrus. The walrus was huge, and the polar bear couldn't subdue it for the time being. It was trying to wear the walrus down by constantly swimming around.

However, it quickly changed its mind.

It noticed Zhou Ming's appearance and realized that the weak human was a better prey than the strong walrus.

The polar bear ran with great effort, its running posture revealing a joyful spirit.

But when he reached the small human and was about to enjoy his meal, he suddenly felt a tremendous force pressing him to the ground.

The polar bear struggled for a long time before finally realizing that the humans in front of it were completely different from those it had encountered before, and were far beyond its ability to fight back.

The polar bear looked at Zhou Ming with fearful eyes and let out a whimper.

Zhou Ming mounted the polar bear's back and urged it forward.

The person he was looking for was not far ahead, so he was no longer in a hurry.

He has plenty of time to do whatever he wants.

The polar bear carried Zhou Ming for half an hour, and then an igloo appeared ahead.

Zhou Ming dismounted from the polar bear and said, "Stay here, I'll go hunt some game for you."

The polar bear naturally couldn't understand his words, but the brief taming had made it afraid to stray far from the man.

Zhou Ming walked to the front of the igloo and gently knocked on the door a few times.

Edward opened the door and was taken aback to see Zhou Ming standing outside. He then smiled wryly and said, "Please come in."

Zhou Ming walked into the igloo, looked around, and found that the conditions were quite good. There was a generator providing electricity to the igloo, keeping it warm and cozy.

A notebook lay open on the table near the door, filled with writing.

Zhou Ming walked over and casually browsed through the items, showing no restraint whatsoever as if this were his home.

Zhou Ming flipped through the contents of the Edward leather-bound notebook, which recorded recent events in Chengdu.

Of course, this cannot be considered a record; it was pre-written.

Just as he suspected, this guy was able to write people's destinies like a novelist writes a story.
