Chapter 49: Forgetting

Her name is Lin Yue, and she is the youngest genius scientist on this planet, possessing intelligence and creativity that transcend the ordinary.

Yet she always feels as if she has forgotten something important, like a puzzle missing a piece, leaving her unable to fully understand herself.

"Tang Yun... who is he..." Lin Yue whispered to herself. This name appears repeatedly in her dreams, bringing her an inexplicable sense of familiarity and sorrow.

Suddenly, a powerful energy fluctuation came from the sky. Lin Yue looked up to see a massive golden sphere of light descending from the heavens, landing at the center of the planet.

The golden radiance instantly covered the entire planet. Every living creature felt a warm and powerful force, as if it were a call from the depths of their souls.

"What is that..."

"A miracle... a miracle indeed..."

People knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing in worship.

Lin Yue, however, felt that her own body was undergoing some kind of miraculous change.

Her blood seemed to boil, and a powerful energy awakened within her.

"Ah..."

Lin Yue clutched her chest in pain. She saw her own hands emitting a faint golden glow.

"Chaotic Medical Scripture... Holy Maiden bloodline..."

An ancient and majestic voice echoed in her mind, "Child... it is time to fulfill your mission..."

"This is... the Taixu Singularity..."

Tang Yun's consciousness floated in a void. Surrounding him were countless shimmering bubbles, each one representing a parallel universe.

He saw countless versions of himself; some became saviors, some became destroyers, some lived ordinary lives, and some lived grand ones.

"Is this... the infinite possibility of fate..."

Tang Yun muttered to himself. He suddenly understood that his sacrifice was not the end, but a new beginning.

"Tang Yun, long time no see."

A cold and familiar voice sounded behind Tang Yun.

Tang Yun turned around and saw a woman wearing a long black dress and a crown standing before him.

"Who are you...?"

"Let me introduce myself. You can call me... Her Majesty the Queen." The woman's lips curled into a playful smile. "Congratulations on successfully passing my test."

"Test?" Tang Yun frowned. "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Her Majesty the Queen chuckled. "It's simple. Everything you have experienced, including your world, your friends, and your lover, is nothing more than a virtual reality game I created."

"What did you say?"

Tang Yun's pupils constricted. He looked at the Queen before him in disbelief. "That's impossible..."

"Impossible?" Her Majesty the Queen smiled contemptuously. "For data like you, what is impossible?"

She snapped her fingers, and the scene around Tang Yun began to collapse. Countless parallel universes turned into specks of starlight and dissipated into the void.

"Now, the game is over. It is time to return to where you originally belong."

Her Majesty the Queen looked down at Tang Yun, her eyes filled with mockery and derision.

"Who do you think... you are?" Tang Yun roared. The shock brought by the Taixu Singularity had not yet faded, and now he was told his world was fake; no one could remain calm.

Her Majesty the Queen gave a contemptuous laugh, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, making a crisp sound as if mocking Tang Yun's overestimation of his own abilities. "A low-level creature, and you dare to question me?"

"Low-level creature?" Tang Yun felt a surge of rage rush to his head. "You damn..."

Before he could finish, the surrounding scene shattered like glass. Tang Yun's body also began to decompose into countless specks of light, and his consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

……

"Tang Yun! Tang Yun!"

A familiar voice sounded in his ear. Tang Yun opened his eyes abruptly, and what met his gaze was Lin Yue's anxious face.

"Where am I..." Tang Yun looked around and discovered he was inside the Taixu Singularity, surrounded by distorted space-time and violent energy turbulence.

"We were sucked in!" Lin Yue pointed into the distance, where the Solar System should have been; now, only a massive black hole remained, crazily devouring everything around it.

"Damn it!" Tang Yun cursed under his breath. The runaway Taixu Singularity had completely exceeded his expectations. Now, let alone finding a way home, even surviving was a problem.

"What is that?"

Lin Yue suddenly exclaimed. Tang Yun followed her gaze and saw a massive fleet appearing in the distance. Every warship emitted a light full of technological sophistication, and strange symbols were carved onto the hulls; it did not look like any civilization from Earth.

"Is it an alien civilization?" Tang Yun's heart tightened. Before he could react, those warships launched an attack.

Beams of energy light tore through the void, aimed directly at Earth!

"Not good!" Tang Yun's pupils constricted. These energy beams were terrifyingly powerful; Earth could not withstand them at all.

"Quick, dodge!"

Tang Yun grabbed Lin Yue and flashed away, dodging the attack of an energy beam.

Boom!

Another loud explosion rang out. Tang Yun looked back to see a small asteroid hit by a beam, instantly turning into cosmic dust.

"Abominable!"

A flash of anger crossed Tang Yun's eyes. These alien civilizations did not care about the life or death of Earth at all!

Just then, an even more terrifying energy fluctuation arrived. Tang Yun looked up to see a massive mothership slowly sailing over, emitting a dazzling light, as if it were a small sun.

"Dimensional folding initiated!"

A cold mechanical voice echoed in the void. Immediately after, Tang Yun felt the surrounding space begin to distort. Earth seemed to be grabbed by an invisible giant hand, constantly being compressed and folded.

"Ah!"

Lin Yue let out a cry of surprise. She felt as if her body were about to be torn apart, and she was in unbearable pain.

Tang Yun was no better off; he felt his bones creaking and his internal organs feeling as if they had been displaced.

"This cannot go on!"

Tang Yun gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain in his body. He pushed his internal Chaotic Medical Qi to the limit while summoning the Taixu Medicine Cauldron.

"Fuse for me!"

Tang Yun roared, injecting the Chaotic Medical Qi into the Taixu Medicine Cauldron. Instantly, the cauldron shone brilliantly, and a strange power surged out from it, flowing through Tang Yun's entire body.

"Dimensional Origami Art... awaken!"

A flash of brilliance crossed Tang Yun's eyes. He felt his understanding of space reach a brand-new realm; he could fold and unfold space at will, just like origami.

"Open... for me!"

Tang Yun formed hand seals, and golden runes flew from his hands, landing around Earth and forming a massive golden light shield.

"Space stabilization!"

Tang Yun gave a low shout, and the golden light shield shone brilliantly, resisting the power of the dimensional folding. Earth stopped compressing.

"This... what is going on?"

Lin Yue stared at all this in a daze; she had never seen such a magical power.

"Don't just stand there, let's go!"

Tang Yun grabbed Lin Yue and flashed, disappearing from the spot.

……

"Where is this..."

Lin Yue looked at the surrounding environment, feeling lost. This was a void space with no up, down, left, or right, only endless darkness.

"We are safe." ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
