Chapter 206: Chapter 204: Memories of Earth

The world around Wei Tianyang faded, and he slipped back into objective reality.

At that moment, an astonishing scene occurred.

The entire ocean had disappeared...

The dry seabed and the complex continental shelf that resembled mountain ranges were blatantly exposed before Wei Tianyang’s eyes.

The Seychelles maritime zone is located within the South Yizhi Sea, where the average depth reaches over 3000 meters. The South Ta Kait No. vessel hung in the air like a suspended airship, hovering in the sky.

The seabed looked just like the ground, with a brownish-gray chitin structure; however, the color of the chitin deepened with depth. At around 1000 meters below the sea level, the brownish-gray had turned into the reddish-brown of an insect’s carapace, and further down, it gradually turned black, until at the bottom of the sea, it was pure black.

Wei Tianyang stared down from such a great height for the first time, without clouds or fog to obstruct his view, nor water to cushion it. He stared at the empty, pitch-black seabed, feeling an indefinable sense of oppression and fear, not unlike the vastness of space. Just this brief glimpse made him feel so insignificant. At a mere height of 3000 meters, he could already feel the physical discomfort.

The ocean and the universe are places humans should not venture...

Wei Tianyang felt a pain in his heart, and his eyes seemed to catch something unusual on the seabed.

He felt nauseous but also curious. So, he leaned over the ship’s railing and looked down intently. His reddish-brown eyes gleamed with a red light, focusing entirely on inspecting the dark seabed.

He had no idea how much time had passed when he fell into a Zen state. The seabed before him vast, undulating, quiet, and silent, Wei Tianyang knew this was an illusion; he had indeed spotted some extremely subtle anomaly.

He lay by the ship’s edge as if he had turned to stone, allowing his senses to slow down, to sync with the silence of the seabed.

After a while, he finally saw what he wanted to see...

That seabed... was breathing, with an extremely subtle frequency, over an incredibly vast area...

The Earth is alive.

In Wei Tianyang’s mind, it struck him like the lighting of a match, like the spark of kerosene, this thought suddenly emerged.

He saw the seabed rising and falling ever so slightly, like a gigantic creature deep in slumber, breathing steadily and peacefully.

His breathing hastened as he turned his head toward the moon immersed in the blood-colored Milky Way above.

He couldn’t understand, but was deeply shaken.

Clueless about this discovery, he was ignorant, his knowledge, experience, and common sense unable to provide an inner peace-inducing explanation within his heart.

And so fear struck.

He suddenly snapped out of objective reality, clutching his forehead as he crouched on the ground.

Objective reality?

Could Mud Man’s claim be correct... or could it be that the Superpower Special Department’s view of the world is somewhat biased?

Moreover, as they say, is this layer of the world a secret only known to the Superpower Special Department... their mission... is to enter it and cleanse the filth...

But as a sovereign of a nation and a superpower user herself, Zhao Ling couldn’t possibly be unaware of this layer of the world.

Are there really any secrets in this world?

What exactly is objective reality? Wei Tianyang couldn’t make heads or tails of it, but he had already dismissed most of what Mud Man had said.

Perhaps, the information brought by the so-called first person to enter objective reality... was a lie concocted by the ruling class.

What about the Superpower Special Department... perhaps they just think they’re keeping secrets while also carrying out some noble task.

Where did those impurities come from?

Wei Tianyang speculated with the greatest malice about the ins and outs of everything... Perhaps, the impurities were a result of Black Medicine research, and to clean up these impurities, the ruling class had fabricated lies, attempting to completely absolve themselves of responsibility. All the while, they crafted the legend of the "first special forces to enter objective reality" and established the Superpower Special Department.

Of course, this was just Wei Tianyang’s speculation. He couldn’t determine the nature of objective reality, and without confirming this point, his subsequent speculations could only be conjecture.

"Hey! Don’t tell me you’re getting seasick now?" Dave suddenly ran out and slapped him on the back.

Wei Tianyang turned his head only to see Dave recoil in shock, hastily stepping back a couple of strides.

"What’s wrong with your eyes?" Dave pointed at his own eyes, asking worriedly.

Wei Tianyang took out his phone to look and saw his pupils were still red, his sclera had all turned black, indeed, they looked very frightening.

"I’m fine, I..." Wei Tianyang started to say that he wanted to check out the other party’s background, but then swallowed his words back.

That three-thousand-meter-high void, and the pulsating black ocean floor...

He didn’t want to go down there; he felt a kind of suffocating atmosphere spreading at the bottom of the sea, his instincts told him that the bottom of the sea might be just as dangerous as space.

"I’ll go see where they are," Wei Tianyang still said.

Thus, he once again slipped into objective reality, stepped onto the ship’s gunwale, and leaped down, turning into a moth in mid-air.

Even though he had transformed into a giant moth, in the ocean’s despairing vastness, he still seemed tiny.

The magnificent black seabed was beneath his feet; he flapped his wings desperately just to keep himself from falling down.

He flew around in a circle and soon landed back on the ship. Beyond the boat lay the 3,000-meter high sky, his flight ceiling wasn’t that high... so he couldn’t travel far before he would start to slowly fall, and if he really fell below the ship, he might never be able to fly back up.

Wei Tianyang stepped out of objective reality, his head pounding even worse.

In Dave’s eyes, Wei Tianyang had just blinked in and out over a short distance in front of him; he couldn’t possibly fathom what Wei Tianyang had seen.

He knelt on the deck as a memory slowly emerged.

In his ears was the silence of a vacuum, and before his eyes, in the pitch-black cosmos, was a dark brown, irregular little sphere.

That little sphere looked like a haphazardly nibbled core, its surface full of disgusting wrinkles.

The little sphere grew larger in his field of vision.

No, it was he who was getting closer to it.

Behind the little ball, there was a larger orange sphere.

The big ball radiated light and heat.

Inside the big ball, something black squirmed.

And from the small ball flew out many Shadows...

Wei Tianyang plummeted into the small ball; his body friction with the atmosphere, sounds began in his ears.

Whooshing of the wind, flames that ignited and then extinguished, then flared up again.

At the same time, there were cries of hidden things.

This scared him.

He closed his eyes...

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the ship, and Spencer was somewhat unable to restrain himself, running out to help him.

"Wei, could it be a Black Medicine syndrome?" Spencer asked with concern.

Wei Tianyang shook his head; he didn’t know whether to call it a memory or a hallucination.

"Look! They’re over there!" At that moment, the first officer with binoculars stood on the gunwale, pointing towards the distant sea surface while shouting.

Everyone looked in the direction the first officer was pointing, and indeed saw a grey military ship.

"How bizarre, it’s a missile boat! It’s the smallest ship in the navy, but, to handle our kind of whaling boat, it’s more than enough. Spencer, your head is truly worth a lot!" Dave said with alarm.
