Chapter 22 Dream

After temporarily setting a goal, Li Tianran decided that if the prophecy really couldn't be changed, then he would face it in his best state.

After the Destruction Era, the starlight that replaced the sun in the universe was sparse and didn't last long. Like the sun, it was fixed in one direction, providing the distinction between day and night as Blue Star rotated.

The dark night usually descended around five in the afternoon, and as night fell, the entire farm became quiet.

The difference was that today Li Tianran used a satellite antenna to fix the television. However, he could only receive a few national news channels; watching comedies was completely out of the question.

"Recently, in response to the global temperature rebound, our experts are exploring the reasons, and it is currently confirmed that the heat source is spreading outward from the Earth's core!"

"According to the geological team's exploration, the surface temperature at 12:00 noon today rose by 3 degrees Celsius compared to the first mutation!"

"The temperature rebound is a very good sign, which may mean that a good turning point is about to appear in the Blue Star disaster..."

"Of course, some people believe that this is a sign of the next mutation..."

"Before the country comes to a conclusion, please do not easily believe the rumors..."

On TV, a blonde, blue-eyed female host stood in front of the camera, reading the news稿 with a strong expression of fatigue.

This was the EU's national television station, and the host represented the EU's spirit. In theory, even if the most dangerous situation occurred, she should stand in front of the camera in the fullest spirit, but the diffusion and despair of the future had made too many people lose motivation. Even the spokesperson of the national television station had lost the energy to disguise at this time.

"It seems that the EU is not doing well..." Ding Lu sat cross-legged on the wide armrest beside the sofa, "Even the host who shows her face in front of everyone is in this state, it is conceivable how the civilians live."

"The EU has been having riots recently! There are also several states clamoring for independence. The army directly drove tanks to the streets and opened fire on the rioting people... Tsk tsk, so bloody!" Tang Su sarcastically mocked while painting her nails, "Although the EU has no external troubles now, the internal troubles are too serious!"

"..."

As several people discussed, Li Tianran glanced at everyone and suddenly noticed something was wrong. Since dinner, he had not seen Hanhan, and asked, "Where's Hanhan?"

"She went to sleep after dinner. She said she was a little sleepy today," Tang Su spread her hands.

Li Tianran nodded and didn't say anything more.

Since the expansion of the castle, everyone has been busy with their own work, and no one has been playing with Hanhan. Xiao Hei (Little Black) and the white cat have become Hanhan's closest partners, eating, sleeping, and playing together, their relationship is so good.

At this time, the cat and dog naturally chased Hanhan into her room and started snoring.

"It's almost like Tom and Jerry..." Li Tianran glanced at Hanhan's closed room door on the second floor, chuckled, and didn't say anything more.

...

Hanhan lay on her small bed covered with Paw Patrol patterns, with her eyes tightly closed, already asleep, while on both sides of the bed, Xiao Hei and the white cat curled up, like two loyal guards.

Slight snoring sounded.

Everything seemed incredibly harmonious.

But the sweat dripping from Hanhan's face and the slightly furrowed brow broke this harmonious scene.

She seemed to be caught in some disturbing dream again.

But there was no fear or panic on her face. Obviously, the scene in her dream at this time had nothing to do with war.

...

Hanhan found herself standing on a vast land. This land was so vast that she couldn't see the end in any direction. The sky was filled with thick clouds, and in the clouds, there seemed to be very large objects moving slowly.

Gradually, a corner of that thing emerged from the clouds. It turned out to be an extremely large warship. In front of it, any level of aircraft carrier on Blue Star was as small as a toy.

Hanhan couldn't help but be stunned.

But she didn't feel any pressure, even though the warship was as big as Mount Everest and shone with golden light, like a sun in the sky.

"Hello! Is anyone there?" Hanhan shouted to the warship in the sky.

The warship did not respond.

Hanhan scratched her head and continued to walk forward. The earth was still empty, and she shouted around. In the empty world, it seemed that she was the only one.

Suddenly, she saw some black outlines at the end of the horizon.

She accelerated and ran forward.

Are those people?

But as she approached, the black outlines in her vision became clearer.

That wasn't people.

Not even creatures.

Accurately speaking, those were some humanoid and beast-like stone statues.

These stone statues were very tall, the shortest being more than ten meters, and there were many of them, as many as hundreds of thousands!

Hanhan stood under a stone statue and found that although these stone statues were sculpted in human form, they were not human beings. The limbs of these humanoid stone statues were very strange. Some had three heads, some had two pairs of eyes, and some were even covered with scales and wings.

Even the beast-shaped sculptures were not any known creatures.

A giant elephant sitting cross-legged, with a single horn growing from its forehead.

A stout python, with five claws growing under its abdomen, looked like some kind of mythological creature...

Every stone statue here was terrifying in appearance, but their eyes did not carry any ferocity. Accurately speaking, they should not carry any emotions. This was not dullness, nor was it compassion, but a kind of indifference.

A kind of indifference of a higher creature.

Just like humans compared to ants, facing ants that can be crushed with a finger, humans will not show ferocious killing intent before killing them, nor will they feel satisfied because of killing ants.

It's like doing something very insignificant, with no impact on emotions... indifference.

Hanhan carefully observed these stone statues, and she found that under each stone statue, there was a base carved with mysterious *fu zhuan* (symbols). These *fu zhuan* seemed like some kind of text. Hanhan scratched her head and determined that she didn't recognize these characters at all. She continued to walk forward.

She didn't know how long she walked, but the surrounding stone statues became sparse, not because she walked to the edge, but because she walked to the center of the stone statues.

The placement of these stone statues seemed to follow a pattern. The closer to the center, the taller and sparser the stone statues became.

Finally, she came to the very center.

On the ground, deep gullies were carved to depict a symbol similar to a hexagram, and at each of the six corners of the hexagram, there was a base.

Three beast statues.

Two human statues.

And the last base... was empty.

On the base, there was only a pile of debris that looked like stone skin.

Looking at this base, Hanhan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, and she began to walk forward involuntarily, as if she wanted to stand on this huge stone seat.

Her eyes became hollow and fanatical, and her whole body seemed to be boiling.

She completely didn't notice that in the sky behind her, the huge warship that should have been left far behind had now appeared silently, like a sword, eager to return to its master's hand.

However, at this moment, a dog bark suddenly came from the empty world.

Hanhan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

The hollowness in her eyes quickly disappeared.

She turned her head and looked back, only to see Xiao Hei and the white cat in the stone statue group, with their fur standing on end, trembling, as if facing a great enemy.

"Meow..." The white cat lowered its body and called out to Hanhan with difficulty, as if it had used all its courage to make this call.

"Woof woof!" Xiao Hei roared and shouted frantically.

Hanhan turned her head and glanced at the stone statue base that was close at hand, and then looked at the cat and dog duo in the distance who were constantly barking at her. She scratched her head, and suddenly felt strange why she had run here just now.

She smiled, stepped forward and ran towards Xiao Hei and the white cat.

The huge warship in the sky disappeared into the clouds again.

On the empty land, a long sigh seemed to echo...

...

At the same time, the EU geological exploration team.

A team member stood up and looked at the captain next to him and said, "Damn it! The surface temperature has risen by another 1 degree Celsius! This doesn't fit the pattern we predicted!"
