Chapter 2379: To the First Growth Era

"Not bad, this is much faster than my regular teleportation." Xiao Feng said satisfiedly.

A teleportation distance of three light-years has already surpassed the stellar level; only those strong in the early eternity can achieve it.

Although using this cube requires spending a few seconds beforehand to permeate the spatial source substance, even counting that time, it is still much faster than him traveling on his own.

Unfortunately, the area of space it can control is fixed; during activation, turning it back and forth always stays within that area, and after turning four times in the same direction it returns to the starting point, so it cannot teleport infinitely far away.

If used for travel, one can only turn it once or twice before needing to re-permeate the cosmic space again, then continue the transfer.

Such an operation also consumes a considerable amount of divine power.

Therefore, it is useful as a life-saving or enemy-trapping means, but using it for travel still incurs too great a cost.

Xiao Feng played with the spatial cube for a while, casually rearranging the surrounding starry sky.

There was a star in this place, which he completely enveloped, turning it back and forth, causing the surrounding gravitational field to become especially chaotic.

Getting into it, Xiao Feng also placed the cube's grid dividing lines right through the middle of the star.

Then he twisted it back and forth……

Boom~

The star was twisted half away, and both sides exploded directly……

The violent radiation burst and stellar storm from half a star's explosion ravaged the starry sky, destroying what was once a fine star system, all thanks to Xiao Feng's meddling.

"Just now, when I twisted the star, I clearly felt the cube become much heavier. It seems the more and stronger the matter the space carries, the more divine power and will it consumes to turn." Xiao Feng thought to himself.

For Xiao Feng, a star might not be too great a challenge, but if he wants to split it open, he still

needs to expend some effort.

Using the spatial cube to twist and cut is comparatively much easier; obviously this thing can also serve as an attack method.

The premise is…… the enemy is a fool, standing there stupidly, allowing him to divide space without even realizing it.

This counterattack against eternity has greatly increased his strength.

Xiao Feng, full of confidence, began using disorderly teleportation, preparing to continue through the random passage of spatial turbulence to the First Growth Era.

Then……

Unbeknownst to him, he had teleported for two years.

The result of fleeing into spatial turbulence is uncontrollable; the place he wanted to go was the primordial world at the core of the First Growth Era, but that place is merely a tiny speck in the new universe.

Over two years, Xiao Feng repeatedly reached the First Growth Era, but only wandered its outer regions, never venturing deep inside.

This made him wonder: could the inner core region of the First Growth Era have already stabilized, becoming a place unreachable by spatial turbulence?

After shuttling hundreds of times between the three major regions—the First Growth Era, the Second Growth Era, and the cosmic border—Xiao Feng gradually confirmed his suspicion.

It seems the idea of directly teleporting to the primordial world won't work; at best he can reach a spot several billion light-years away from it, and the rest of the journey he must figure out himself.

Xiao Feng tried again a few times.

Soon after, in the fourth year of his entry into the new universe, he arrived at a galaxy located 5.3 billion light-years away from the distant continent.

This galaxy is very small, only about twenty thousand light-years in diameter; it is a white crab-shaped galaxy, containing many stars and some planets within its space.

However, Xiao Feng did not encounter any life

forms, and it remains an extremely barren region of the cosmos.

The new universe's First Growth Era has just begun to develop; so far, only the primordial world and the few dozen star systems nearest to it have given rise to life and civilization.

Converted to the scale of the main universe, it's about the size of a cosmic nation.

As for humanity's current Growth Era, it boasts several million thriving star systems, part of which is occupied by ancient civilizations such as the Machine and Beast clans, part has become human territory, and another part is in an awakening stage, which over the next 300 to 500 million years will gradually flourish into prosperity, forming an era of myriad races thriving together.

Each universe develops in broadly similar ways; the new universe's First Growth Era is no different—its chronological age is only about 500,000 years, placing it in the early juvenile stage, still quite immature.

However, according to Han Zichen and others, the primordial world now possesses peak eternity powerhouses, and even a "super-eternity" level has appeared, with the potential to become a Dao Ancestor.

Such a world remains extremely dangerous.

"5.3 billion light-years—how am I supposed to get there……"

Xiao Feng felt a bit of a headache.

Over these two years of constantly moving through spatial turbulence, his comprehension of spatial laws has deepened considerably, and the coverage range of his spatial cube has surged to about five light-years.

But even if he expends no cost to activate the spatial cube to twist space, he would still need to turn it 1.06 billion times……

Who knows how many planets and stars would have to be destroyed along the way, and his divine power and willpower likely wouldn't hold up.

"I don't know if the ancient venerable king's starship will work."

Xiao Feng thought of another of his treasures.

He isn't very optimistic about this starship, after all, the distance is 5.3 billion light-years

; traveling at light speed would take 5.3 billion years, and the starship probably doesn't have such terrifying energy.

However, upon further thought, there are still two ways in the universe faster than light: spatial curvature flight and spatial resonance teleportation.

Both rely on the special nature of spacetime structure for travel; their speed isn't just a bit faster than light, but many times faster!

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng took out that starship.

This silver-white starship looks like a perfectly carved huge brick, a rectangular prism that can fly sideways, upright, or straight.

In the vacuum of space there is no air, so designing a spacecraft doesn't require aerodynamic considerations; maximizing internal volume is what matters most.

The previously encountered "Dragon Soul" had a streamlined, flattened shape because it needed to fly both in space and on land, hence that design.

The silver starship's hatch opened.

……The hatch is like a house door; when upright it's like moving a hundred-story skyscraper, when laid flat it's like a giant shipping container—flexible, versatile, fully functional.

Xiao Feng entered through the main door; the starship's interior is also in a vacuum state, not specially designed for habitation.

"Beep~beep~"

As soon as Xiao Feng entered, he heard an alarm.

At the entrance, two laser weapons launched an attack at him.

A mechanical voice spoke in an incomprehensible language, babbling.

The spaceship is a machine, and a machine's tone has no emotion, so even if Xiao Feng is the controller, he cannot understand the meaning of these words.

However, he could roughly guess that the spaceship failed to recognize his identity and took him for an intruder it wanted to kill.

Such an attack meant nothing to Xiao Feng

It was utterly insignificant, but he also did not want to see the spaceship activate its self‑protection program and destroy itself.

Thus, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he located the ship's control cabin, instantly teleported there, and then aimed at the source of the ship's intelligent system—directly… cutting the link!
