Chapter 381: Chapter 254: When Will It Be Lush and Wide Like a Canopy?

Meeting the black bear was naturally like friends reuniting.

Only,

when the black bear became the mount, carrying Chen Yun around to wander and forage in this familiar Primitive Forest,

Chen Yun could feel a slight mismatch.

This wasn’t to say there was a mismatch in strength; even just considering the size alone, there was already a faint mismatch.

To be honest, although the black bear is undoubtedly a fierce beast, it is actually one of the smaller kinds among fierce beasts.

Now with the one-meter-eighty Chen Yun riding on top,

it made the black bear seem slightly mini.

The entire black bear didn’t appear much bigger than Chen Yun riding on top of it.

This was utterly different from the feeling of riding an orca.

An orca truly represented a massive beast, at least in comparison to the black bear, it definitely counted as a gigantic beast. The size comparison after mounting gave a genuine sense of a person with their steed.

So using a black bear as a mount indeed unexpectedly had a sense of modesty.

But thinking about it, since the East King in the myths rode a black bear, Chen Yun also felt it wasn’t so mismatched after all.

In the ancient myths of Hua Country, the East King was generally described as riding or carrying a black bear.

This image mainly comes from "Divine Mysterious Scripture" and "Eastern Desolation Scripture" along with other classical texts. The image and stories of the East King vary across texts, but the feature of riding or carrying a black bear is a consistent portrayal.

Chen Yun thought that with his current rate of evolution,

he could completely set the mythical East King as his goal.

Maybe it wouldn’t be long before he would no longer need to regard the myths as mere myths.

Because he himself would become a myth!

Reflecting on this, a flicker of light passed through Chen Yun’s eyes.

Then it dispersed.

The existence from the myths was still too distant for him.

Although he now had the confidence that one day he could reach that height, currently, he was still far off, by orders of magnitude.

Not to mention the countless genesis myths.

Just considering the well-known Queen Mother alone, she once drew out the Milky Way with a hairpin.

What an exaggerated strength this was!

The Milky Way, with its magnificent scale, often made people feel both insignificant and awe-struck.

Its diameter is estimated to be between 100,000 and 180,000 light-years, and this span is merely the horizontal measure of its disk-like structure.

And a light-year, as a unit of length, is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in one year, about 9.461 trillion kilometers.

Just imagine, if measured by earthly means of transportation, even traveling at the speed of light from one end of the Milky Way to the other would take 100,000 to 180,000 years.

The thickness of the Milky Way is about a few thousand light-years in the central region and thinner at the edges, containing hundreds of billions or even trillions of stars, along with large amounts of interstellar gas and dust.

Even the Sun is negligible in comparison, let alone the Earth, which appears even more negligible in front of the Sun?

Such a macro scale almost challenges the limits of our imagination.

And this,

is just a majestic entity created casually by the Queen Mother in the myths.

So,

thinking about becoming a myth is one thing.

And being very confident and determined about it is another.

But, it wasn’t quite time yet.

Pondering this, a man and a bear arrived at a place extremely familiar to Chen Yun.

A smooth boulder appeared in front of them.

On it was a not-so-small Saltpeter Mine cave.

This mountain range had many Saltpeter mines, as well as many primitive mining caves left by ancient people.

But the mine cave in front of Chen Yun now was blocked by numerous pieces of broken rock.

This was not because the mine had been abandoned and thus blocked by the ancients.

In fact,

an abandoned mine didn’t need to be deliberately blocked off at all.

This was actually blocked by Chen Yun himself.

During his previous visit to Laojun Mountain, he completed his first kill and the subsequent series of kills, wiping out a Cult in one sweep.

This mine cave was where he disposed of the remains.

Returning to this place now, it was rare for him to feel somewhat bewildered.

Chen Yun extended his Transparent World Perception.

He could see that the entrance was meticulously packed with countless broken rocks, forming a natural barrier, isolating the exterior world from the inside of the cave.

As time flowed, those broken rocks still tightly arranged, seemed to be guarding some unspeakable secrets.

The dust of the years, at this moment, solidified, finely covering each stone, like a light veil of time gently draped over the entrance, narrating the loneliness unasked by anyone.

Weeds stubbornly grew from the cracks in the rocks, their greenness merging with the surrounding forest, marking nature’s imprint and witnessing life force.

Around the entrance, the wild scent lingered, an exclusive trace of the forest inhabitants.

A faint animal scent mixed with the fragrance of the soil revealed this place as the territory of wild animals.

Observing carefully,

one could find scattered droppings, some concealed by fallen leaves, others still visibly evident.

Varying in shape and size, they silently recorded the activities of the creatures on this land.

Occasionally, strands of animal fur stuck in the crevices of the rocks or hung on dry branches, marks carelessly left behind by the beasts.

Chen Yun tried to use his extra-dimensional sense of smell to perceive everything that had happened here since he left.

Immediately, it was as if a movie began playing in his mind.

Here, time and history turned into a book, rapidly flipping through pages in Chen Yun’s mind.
