Chapter 479: Chapter 301 A Mere 8 Billion Obstinate People

The Universe, this entirely new map.

Now is certainly not the time for exploration.

Gazing into the distant, profound starry sky, Chen Yun deeply understood this truth.

Feeling the boundless and majestic light of the Sun shining upon him, Chen Yun knew that even if he weren’t afraid of giant celestial bodies like stars, or various potential cosmic disasters, it would still be very difficult for him to traverse the Universe.

Because in this vast spatial scale,

the biggest factor hindering his far-reaching voyage into the Universe was absolutely not the potential dangers,

but rather the distances laid bare before him.

Even the Moon, the closest celestial body to Earth, has an average distance between them of about 384,400 kilometers.

This meant that with his current speed of ten times the speed of sound, it would take him 31 hours to arrive.

And the distance between Earth and Sun was even more exaggerated,

with an average distance of about 1 Astronomical Unit (AU), or approximately 149.6 million kilometers.

At his current speed, it would take him 504.7 days.

If the orbit of Neptune were considered the boundary of the Solar System, then the diameter of the Solar System would be about 60 AUs, or roughly 8.97 billion kilometers.

Crossing this distance would take about 829 years.

The diameter of the Milky Way is estimated to be between 100,000 to 120,000 light-years.

At his current speed, it would take approximately 87,617,657 years.

This is only the scale of the Milky Way and the time required has already risen to more than eighty million years.

Yet the Milky Way, in the vastness of the Universe, was really just a drop in the ocean.

Even though Chen Yun already possessed superhuman abilities, easily crossing the distance between Earth and the Moon or even other planets within the Solar System within his lifetime,

when he cast his gaze toward farther galaxies, he felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance.

Against the grand backdrop of the Universe, the Milky Way seemed like a mere droplet in an immense ocean.

The Milky Way itself was enormous, with hundreds of billions of stars, each with its own planetary systems.

However, when the view was pulled back to consider the other galaxies scattered across the Universe, the brilliance of the Milky Way instantly seemed trivial.

The distances between the Milky Way and other galaxies were unimaginable; even the closest Andromeda Galaxy was about 2.5 million light-years away.

In the face of the Universe,

even the seemingly giant Milky Way was but a faint streak of ink on the cosmic canvas.

Even if all conceivable technological hurdles and physical limitations were ignored, the mere factor of distance alone was enough to make people recoil.

To realize the dream of interstellar travel, one must find a way to overcome these astronomical distances.

Wormholes, Curvature Drives, or even various natural laws yet undiscovered, could all be keys to unlocking the gateway to the stars.

The existing speed was decidedly insufficient to attempt the exploration of this Universe.

At least for now, his speed was far from enough.

You see, even the speed of light, at 300,000 kilometers per second, would seem extraordinarily insignificant on the scale of the Universe, not to mention his mere tenfold speed of sound.

Therefore,

exploring the Universe was bound to be a matter for the distant future.

He had no desire to wander aimlessly in this vast Universe at present.

Pondering,

Chen Yun returned his gaze to the Sun before him.

Then he immediately turned his attention to the Earth beneath his feet.

Exploring the Universe might still be premature, but it seemed that he could already be subtly regarded as a deity, right?

Tenfold the speed of sound, three thousand tons of strength, Spiritual Position, thermal sight, Thunder...

These myriad powers combined,

made Chen Yun entertain a thought as he embraced the Sun.

It seemed...

Could he already consider himself among the ranks of the Motherland People?

He felt that with his current strength and speed, he could completely surpass the performance of the fictional Motherland People.

Moreover, anything the Motherland People could do, he could as well.

What the Motherland People could not do, he also could.

Looking at it this way, the Motherland People’s arrogance seemed something he too had the right to emulate.

To emulate that feeling of acting according to one’s desires.

Just as he had thought while embracing the Sun moments ago, his power might still fall short of annihilating stars with a single punch, but it seemed he could completely dominate the Earth.

"From now on, no one can speak to me in a loud voice."

Chen Yun murmured silently in the vacuum of space.

Though there was no air to carry the sound of his voice, he continued to mutter to himself.

Looking down at the Earth.

Beholding a scene that very few had ever witnessed with their own eyes.

Chen Yun felt as if the Earth were prostrating itself,

as if bowing down before him.

As if the entire Earth was under his feet, evoking a strong sense of conquest.

At a certain moment, he even felt that all people on Earth were nothing more than a trifle of eight billion unruly subjects, who, if disobedient, deserved to be taught a lesson.

This was clearly a case of getting carried away by the sight before him.

Being able to overlook humanity from this vantage point, it’s hard to say that the thought of "I am a god" wouldn’t arise in one’s heart.

The growth in power also increased his self-confidence.

Chen Yun was no exception.

However, fortunately, he quickly came to his senses.

His power surge didn’t lead to any rash actions.

His passive abilities to remain cool-headed and his elevated spirit allowed him to quickly control himself.

Of course,

this so-called control didn’t mean Chen Yun had abandoned such thoughts.

He just restrained himself from immediately acting on the impulse to claim kingship and dominance.

After all, it was just a passing thought, not necessarily Chen Yun’s true dream or goal.

Chen Yun didn’t know what he truly wanted.

If he had to say...
