Studying Science in the Alternate World

bang bang.

Duke stood in the light, mysterious energy descended from the top of his head, poured into his body, and penetrated into the spiritual sea.

His five senses seemed to be magnified.

You can even hear your own heartbeat, which is strong and regular, and even your breathing becomes as loud as a roar.

"It's a strange feeling, Xiaoyi, did you find anything?" Duke looked down at his hands and asked in his heart.

He could see every hair on his hands, the pores at the root of the hairs, and the clear texture of the skin.

"Master's five senses have been distorted by a certain force, and the spiritual sea has also been penetrated by this force. Xiaoyi is resisting this force and analyzing its nature." Xiaoyi's information feedback has become slower than usual, It is impossible to transmit countless information in an instant.

But basic communication can still be done.

"Full power analysis, this feeling makes me uncomfortable." Duke gave the order.

The feeling of the amplification of the five senses is like the body has become allergic, and every feeling makes him feel frightened.

He looked around, there was light all around him, and he couldn't see anything except his own body.

He tried to shout: "Lord Muse!"

Then it was like a thunderbolt sounded in his ears, causing his ears to buzz, but he didn't get any response from Muse.

"What am I doing, standing here stupidly?" Duke couldn't wait for a response, and his body entered a strange state again. He couldn't help but took a step forward, wanting to get out of the position of the star-seeing platform, "The Will of the Stars Where, why didn't I see it?"

However.

When his footsteps fell, the surrounding situation suddenly changed, and the light seemed to retreat, and quickly spread to the surroundings.

Without the star-seeing platform, the place where he was was like a mirror with stagnant water.

Because of the landing, the accumulated water on the mirror quickly rippled around, completely crushing his reflection. The stagnant water is also magical, exuding a little bit of brilliance, with a dreamlike crystal texture.

"Where is this?" Duke looked around.

Endless dreamy waters, endless mirrors of reflection. The surroundings of his body couldn't tell whether it was air or water, and as his body shook, there were ripples that spread outward round and round. The top of the head is also like dreamy water, gently rippling and rippling.

"Xiao Yi, where am I?"

"Master, your five senses have been invaded and blinded by alien forces. According to Xiaoyi's calculation, you are still in the same place, but the accuracy rate is not 100%." ​​Xiaoyi's response seemed to come from a distant unknown place, very ethereal.

"That is to say, there is still a certain probability that I have already left the star-seeing platform of the Tower of Stars?"

"Yes Master."

The spiritual mysteries are mysterious and unpredictable, and there are too many unknown forces. Even Xiaoyi can't guarantee whether Duke has left the star-seeing platform at this time.

According to the records of the predecessors' materials and notes, to activate the will of the stars is just to enter a dream.

But in reality, some people have followed the outbreak of phantoms in ancient times, been involved in hundreds of millions of years of time, and shuttled between the past and the present.

Time and space are not fixed in the field of spiritual mysteries.

"I am going to move forward. Whether I am involved in a dream or pulled into time and space, I must carefully appreciate all of this." Duke adjusted his mentality and regarded it as a wonderful journey. "If the will of the stars wants to Enlighten me, always show up!"

He took big strides, stepped on the stagnant water, stepped on the mirror-like surface, and kept walking forward.

Circle after circle of ripples around, shattered the light shining from nowhere, and swayed back and forth.

I don't know how long it has been.

The magnified five senses Duke is about to adapt, and he will no longer be frightened by the sound of footsteps, water splashing, and breathing. Suddenly, the mirror in front of him, like a mountain rising, rises a huge human silhouette, countless ripples in the Ripples on the silhouette.

"Du..."

A distant call rang in Duke's ear at the same time.

"What, who, who are you, is it the will of the stars?" Duke responded to the vague call, looking at the huge human silhouette ahead.

Or a mountain with a human silhouette, like a female silhouette.

There was no response, only the same call as before: "Du..."

"My name is Duke, Duke!" Duke shouted.

It seemed that this cry was finally accepted by the will of the unknown stars, and the call gradually became clear and solidified.

"Duke..."

"Yes, my name is Duke, Will of the Stars, where are you or you two, what kind of enlightenment do you want to give me?" Duke spun around in circles and responded loudly.

"Go to..." The call was strong and sometimes weak, "Front..."

At a certain point, it becomes crystal clear again: "Onward..."

"Continue to move forward." Duke whispered in his heart, and then followed the call and continued to move forward.

The water on the mirror surface and the ripples around him, as he moved forward, changed unconsciously and turned into an ever-burning fire.

It's just that the fire didn't burn, and Duke stepped on the fire and walked steadily.

The call from that distant place also followed the rhythm of Duke's footsteps, and began to recite the poem vaguely: "Our birth is actually to fall asleep, to forget..."

The female silhouette mountain that has been running across the front moves with the movement of Duke, and always maintains a constant distance in front.

At this moment, the mountain peak suddenly toppled downwards, without the power of heaven and earth, only with the gentleness of flying around.

"The soul that rises with us is the star of life..." The song goes on and on.

Duke never stopped walking, he called Xiaoyi in his heart, but Xiaoyi didn't respond this time.

He wanted to look inside Linghai.

But I found that I couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't use any power, as if I had returned to the original person, the normality that a person on earth should have.

"See those bright lights, those are dying stars." The ballad rose from all directions and melted into the surrounding flames.

Duke heard the song.

He suddenly raised his head, looked up at the top of his head, and found that at some time, the starry sky appeared again, and it was brighter than ever before.

The light of those stars is like a painting.

The endless flames under the feet have receded, revealing the barren Gobi, with nothing but yellow sand and stones.

The chant never stops: "How do you say 'the moon' in your language? No matter how you say it, we're all looking at the same moon."

Duke was taken aback.

Stand still and shout loudly: "The will of the stars, where are you?"

The calling voice came again: "Go...forward..."

Duke had no choice but to continue to move forward according to the voice, stepping on hard rocks and soft yellow sand, walking in an unknown direction.

"The stars were born from the dust and scattered in the universe, and they connect us with the universe." The ballad began to chant again.

Duke looked up and looked ahead.

The female silhouette of the mountain is still lying in front, as if sleeping and seducing passers-by. The sharp-edged rocks form a graceful posture.

The starry sky, which looks like a painting, covers the mountain peak with a layer of misty tulle, which adds to its allure.

"Without darkness, there would be no existence of light." The song goes from far to near.

suddenly.

It was as if a woman whispered softly in Duke's ear: "The galaxy reflected in your eyes is an extraterrestrial dream that I have never seen before."

Duke turned his head subconsciously, there was no woman.

But in the distant place behind, there are mountains rising one after another, and mountains sinking one after another, changing rapidly like a sea of ​​water.

"I've traveled all over the star cluster, and I can't find a star brighter than you." The woman's whispering voice appeared in Duke's ear again.

Duke circled around but couldn't see anyone.

I don't know who is calling, who is singing and whispering, his memory is about to fade, and he only remembers that it seems to be the will of the stars.

At the end of the desolate Gobi Desert, there is an endless storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Duke didn't know how long he had been gone, his body seemed to have decayed in time, even his memory was never let go.

All he wanted to do now was to move forward, to the mountain peak that looked like the silhouette of a sleeping woman.

Occasionally.

He would stop and look at the stars above him.

"When you are staring at the starry sky, the starry sky is also staring at you... In the dark night, you are never alone." The woman began to whisper in her ear again.

Such as resentment, such as admiration, such as weeping, such as complaining.

It is reciting and singing.

"Show yourself!" Duke looked at the mountain still in the distance, with his hands spread around his mouth, he called out loudly, "The Will of the Stars!"

He does not move, nor does the mountain.

The woman was unmoved by his roar, and still whispered in her ear: "There is a vast and boundless universe in my heart, and now I give you one of my cherished stars, as long as you are willing to step through the night toward I'm going step by step, then..."

It seemed that something was stuffed into Duke's mind.

The woman murmured, "You can share this entire starry sky with me."

"What?" Duke stretched out his arm and scratched his forehead, but he didn't catch anything, but when he put down his hand, his palm was already full of starlight.

These stars rose slowly and surrounded him like cheerful elves.

"At the end of their lives, they traveled thousands of miles to come to each other and surround each other... The starlight in the dark is the warmest and most unforgettable, dispelling anxiety and cold, and bringing hope and expectation." Woman's The whispers gradually fade away.

Then, Duke saw the female silhouette mountain peak lying in the distance, and finally stood up again.

It just walked towards Duke step by step.

Then, from its tangle of rocks, came a roar that echoed through the night of wind and lightning.

"To someone, you are the center of the universe—like the stars at night, you radiate the light of the universe, helping them find their way...Though, you may not realize it, Duke, my walker .”

The mountain peak walks like a human being, pressing forward step by step, and then shrinking slowly.

Until she became a real person, a woman in tulle, a woman who couldn't see her facial features clearly, but felt extremely beautiful.

Duke couldn't look her in the eyes, like a mortal fearing the majesty of a god.

She is no longer a mountain, nor an ordinary woman.

At this moment, she is a goddess.

The voice of the goddess finally stabilized this time, and the surrounding wind and thunder also stopped. There was no endless water, endless fire, or endless sand and stones, only the stars shining brightly in the dark night.

"The stars are hovering on the dead body, and you are the only one who can wake me up." The goddess stared at Duke, making Duke seem to forget to breathe, "Your body is mine, your voice is mine, but You are not mine."

"Huh..." Duke suffocated to the limit, and finally took a breath.

Then his decayed body and memory revived at the same time, as if he had experienced life and death once, and now he is alive again.

Couldn't help asking: "Are you the will of the stars?"

"The stars are me, I am not the stars, I am a forgotten person, and I am also a person you cannot understand. If you must have a code name to communicate with each other, you can call me..." The goddess said softly, "Nyx! "

"Nyx... Goddess." Duke wanted to look directly at the other party, but couldn't, as if there was a strong resistance to stop him from doing so.

You can only lower your head and look at each other's feet.

He stepped on a star without shoes, and he himself, also without shoes, stepped on a star.

Surrounded by stars, this is a starry sky without up, down, left, or right.

Duke couldn't understand why he could still stand in the starry sky without the slightest feeling of weightlessness, it could only be understood as a dream.

I am still in the dream of the will of the stars and have not yet awakened.

He looked at the feet of Goddess Nyx, which were pure and flawless, and could be called jade feet: "Then, what enlightenment do you want to give me?"

"I can't give you any enlightenment." Goddess Nyx shook her head, "I know the past and the future, but the past has withered and the future has no hope, so I won't provide any interference to you now, you can use it to your heart's content .”

"Eh..." The five senses have returned to normal, and the IQ has regained the high ground. Duke couldn't help asking again, "But you gave my seniors, those arcane masters, a lot of enlightenment, especially in the field of spiritual arcana. , I don’t understand, why did it stop when it came to me?”

I had a weird dream in a daze, if I didn't get any benefit, wouldn't it be a daydream after waking up.

"They are me, you are not me."

"I still don't understand?" Duke frowned.

Emotion, the will of the stars, or the goddess of Nyx, did not regard him as one of his own.

He couldn't help thinking of Goddess Nyx's murmur, and said loudly, "Didn't you say that I am your walker?"

"Yes, you are my walker, Duke." The mysterious halo on Nyx's body faded, and she spoke more naturally, "Your body is mine, but you come from a faraway land, you are different from them, You give me hope."

"Um?"

Duke suddenly realized that his identity as a time traveler might have been seen through by Goddess Nyx: "You know I'm from a foreign land?"

"Your spirit is beyond the stars, not an integral part of this world." Goddess Nyx revealed Duke's identity flatly, "I don't know where you came from, but there is no doubt that you have injected the spirit into the decaying world. A new glimmer of hope."

"this……"

"Are you afraid and worried?" Goddess Nyx asked, "But the stars have recognized you, and I have recognized you. I have shared this starry sky with you. You can freely enter and exit from any corner of the world. Come in."

"You mean, I can come to this starry sky often in the future?" Duke's eyes widened.

"It's mine, and it's yours."

"Thumbs up!"

"Then now, you should tell me, Duke Walker, where did you come from, and are you willing to take me away?"

"willing!"

Although Duke doesn't understand what Goddess Nyx wants him to do, his hometown Earth is a place he has to protect.

Even if there is no malice, I don't want to disclose it at will.

So you might as well agree to the other party's request first. He looked at the other party's jade feet and thought about how to explain his identity.

soon.

He murmured and said, "As you can see, I came from Three Body."

"Three-body, what is that?"

"Three-Body..." Duke fell into memory, "In Three-Body, the things I saw were beyond your belief. I witnessed the world being torn apart by the power of the tide, and the magma boiling the seawater ; I have seen the corona of the stars engulfing planet after planet, darkened arms, implacable."

The tone gradually became sad and desolate: "However, in the universe, these are just water droplets, and all moments will disappear in despair, like a shower, sinking in the sea."

After a long time.

Goddess Nyx responded: "I don't understand."

"It's right if you don't understand." Duke said sincerely, "Just as you don't understand my original world, I don't understand what you need to do, how to take you far away."

There was another long silence.

Goddess Nyx said softly: "I have forgotten who I am, only a little obsession left...Duke the Walker, use your talents according to your ideas...I believe that one day, you will be able to find The answer, take me far..."

Her body backed up and gradually enlarged: "Go..."

Then it turned into a mountain with a female silhouette, standing in the distant starry sky: "High..."

The starry sky also gradually returned to the top of the dome, leaving only the desolate land surrounded by yellow sand and endless Gobi.

The peak of the female silhouette fell to the ground, dragging out the last ethereal syllable: "Fly..."

"Master... people..." Xiaoyi's voice could be heard again suddenly, but it was intermittent.

"I am here."

Standing on a stone pillar in the Gobi Desert, Duke looked up at the starry sky above his head. He didn't know what he was thinking, but felt that the mood was bleak.

...

The tower of learning, the night covered the top of the tower, several arcanists in red robes and purple robes sat by the window of the conference hall, looking ahead.

"On."

"Did you see Duke?"

"I can't see clearly, he is standing on the commanding heights of spirituality, he is under the stars." Madelong Rhodiola looked at the top of the Stars Tower not far away, at the same height.

There is only a non-dazzling light, which surrounds everything, and it is impossible to pry into a clear vision.

"Hey, I don't know if it's right or wrong to choose Duke to activate the will of the stars." A purple-robed arcanist sighed.

Another purple-robed Arcane Master responded indifferently: "It was Lord Thursas's proposal. Your Excellency chose Duke to replace His Excellency Miguel. Obviously, you have your opinion and consideration. We just need to wait for the revelation after the will of the stars is activated." Can."

Everyone fell silent immediately, and they all looked at the light on the Star Tower seriously, and time passed by.

"How long has it been going on?"

"Like fifteen minutes."

"Well, it's much longer than the data records. The longest time recorded in the past seems to be twelve minutes."

"Longer time is good, the will of the stars can give me more inspiration."

"Huiyue's arcane instructors are protecting Duke's safety in the Tower of Stars. I don't know if they can record anything. So far, they haven't figured out what the will of the stars really is." A great arcane mage said with some regret.

suddenly.

An arcanist said: "Look, the light has faded, and the will of the stars has begun to move away!"

"Master Chief Director, should we go over and find out?"

"No, just wait here." Ma Delong responded indifferently, "The will of the stars is the top priority of the Federation, and the result will definitely be notified as soon as possible."

"Yes, just wait quietly."

"Waiting for a hundred years is not too short of time."

The arcanists in the meeting hall fell silent again.

...

There is a stone forest in the yellow sand, one of which is a stone pillar that is 100 meters high, Miguel, the guardian of the gravel field, is sitting cross-legged on the top at the moment.

Look up at the starry sky above.

"There is no movement in the stars, is it because the will of the stars has not yet been activated?" He pinched his fingers slightly, and calculated astrology, "The Hunter constellation pierces the constellation Cetus, which is when the stars are boiling, and Muse will definitely choose to open it at this moment." .”

Suddenly.

The tip of his nose twitched slightly.

Then he stared at the starry sky again, with a hint of cruel malice on the corner of his mouth: "It's turned on, the spirituality pervading the stars is already gathering."

"Yeah, it's opened. This should belong to you." Melis's figure suddenly appeared behind Miguel, and quietly reached out to cover his eyes, "It's also the only chance you can suppress me. But you missed it."

"Go away!"

"It will make me very sad if you speak harsh words to me, Miguel, we used to love each other so much, we wished we could exchange each other's hearts." Melis cried, "How can you treat me like this now, You are too cruel."

Miguel clenched his fists, and spiritual energy rose from his body.

Under the influence of psychic energy, Melis's figure began to distort, as if a rubber band was pulled apart, and her voice changed: "It hurts, it hurts, Miguel, my love, I am in pain, I In fear, in the dark abyss!"

next moment.

Melis's elongated figure suddenly turned into a pitch-black shadow, and rushed towards Miguel, roaring mournfully.

Miguel opened his fingers, and the roaring arcane magic turned into a beam of light, directly piercing through the black shadow, and then shattered countless stone pillars without stopping.

But this was ineffective against the black shadow. After the beam of light disappeared, the black shadow rushed over again.

No matter how powerful the arcane spell Miguel used, the black shadow couldn't be killed, like a piece of brown sugar, entangled Miguel to death.

"No! Get the hell out of here!" Miguel yelled.

A star in the sky above his head suddenly burst into light, and the light fell to the ground, forming a beam of light area that enveloped him in the center.

This is the star cage.

The power of the field of the morning star arcane teacher.

It's a pity that the black shadow can come and go freely in the star cage, like an octopus, suddenly entangled Miguel from behind, and then the black shadow turned into black tentacles, and penetrated into Miguel's eyes, ears, mouth and nose. , in Miguel's desperate roar, all submerged.

The stars overhead faded, and the star cage dissipated.

"Hm Chi...Hm Chi..."

Miguel stood where he was, his body was slightly arched, and he was panting violently. After a long while, he raised his head and stood up straight.

"Duke... Muse..."

A faint smile hung on Miguel's face, and under the light of the stars, he jumped up and flew lightly towards the direction of Gaohe City.

only occasionally.

In his eyes, there will be a dark shadow flashing past.

...

"what's on your mind?"

The light dissipated, and the mysterious lines interlocking with each other also disappeared under the floor, and Muse saw Duke standing at the same place as the star-seeing platform.

At this moment, Duke still kept his gaze forward.

However, at this moment, as far as his eyes can see, there is only darkness.

"I'm thinking about the dream just now, Lord Muse." Duke responded in a sighing tone, "It's similar to my predecessors, I seem to have a dream too."

"Do you remember the content of the dream?" Muse became a little nervous.

"Remember."

"Ah!" An exclamation came from the stairs below the star-seeing platform, and several gray-haired arcane masters climbed up the stairs one by one.

There are eight in total, and the leader is none other than the speaker of the upper house, Andre Evening Primrose.

Thursas and Lambert Raven are on the list. As for the others, Duke has met them once or seen them on the news.

These eight are all the Huiyue Arcane Instructors in the entire Seven Towers Federation.

"I have seen you, my lords." Duke bowed and saluted.

Andre Evening Primrose rarely sobered up. He stretched out his hand, and an invisible force lifted Duke up. He said kindly: "Leave the red tape, Duke. I want to know what the will of the stars has brought down." Such an edict."

The eight Huiyue arcane instructors, plus Muse, the morning star arcane instructor, all fixed their eyes on Duke.

This made Duke feel very stressed.

However, he found in his heart that even the aura of the star abyss of a group of arcane instructors combined was not as great as the pressure brought by Goddess Nyx in the dream.
