C506 Fifty-four Years of Persistence
Ma Xu's existence caused the empty eyeball to have eyes. Although it was only a black dot compared to the hall, it caused the desolation and blankness to disappear, and the eyes to have a spirit.
Ma Xu's own eyes could not see anything from that direction. He did not react at all to the newcomer, and only stared at the white wall in front of him.
If a wall could be broken through in ten years, then this white wall had already been broken five times.
Ma Xu had a good time when he was reunited with his wife and children, reliving the happiness of two centuries ago.
However, this period of time was very short. In less than two years, Zhuang Yan had left Ma Xu with her child. There were many reasons for this. It was popular to say that while Ma Xu was still a savior in front of the public, his image had changed in the eyes of his closest friends.
Her wife gradually realized that she was living with a man who had destroyed one world and held the fate of the other two in his hands. He had become a strange monster that frightened her and the child, and they had left.
Another theory was that Ma Xu took the initiative to tell them to leave so that they could have a normal life. They were probably still alive, living a peaceful life as normal people in some place.
When his wife and children left, it was also when Earth's gravitational wave launcher replaced the nuclear weapon that surrounded the sun as a deterrent weapon. From then on, Ma Xu began his long life as a swordsman.
Ma Xu was using this kind of gaze to stare at the white wall, staring at the world four light years away. This gaze carried the chilliness of hell and the heaviness of huge rocks. It carried the decisiveness of sacrificing everything, making the enemy's heart palpitate.
Just like that, Ma Xu had been looking into the eyes of the Black Star world for fifty-four years. From a playful and disrespectful person, he had turned into an old man with fifty-four years of history.
For the past fifty-four years, Ma Xu had persisted in his silence without saying a single word.
In fact, if a person did not speak for ten to fifteen years, he would lose the ability to speak. He would be able to understand but not be able to speak.
Ma Xu definitely couldn't speak anymore. Everything he wanted to say was under the shining eyes of the wall. He had turned himself into a deterrent machine, a mine that could explode every second for half a century, maintaining the terrifying balance between the two worlds.
"Mr. Zhou Yi is here." The Chairman of the Planetary Defense Council broke the silence.
Ma Xu remained in his original position. The Chief of Staff walked over to help him up, but he raised his left hand to refuse. The way he raised his hand was vigorous and forceful. It did not have the sluggishness of a centenarian at all. Then, Ma Xu stood up steadily. He went from sitting cross-legged to standing upright, but his hands did not touch the ground. It was very difficult for a young person to do this.
Ma Xu stood up straight and stared at the white wall for a few seconds before turning his gaze towards Zhou Yi.
It had been fifty-four years, and when he saw them again, the world had changed.
The two of them faced each other in silence. Their eyes met for just a split-second, and at that moment, Zhou Yi felt a sharp light sweep across his soul. Zhou Yi didn't know what the old man comprehended from the fifty-four years of face wall, his thoughts may have settled down to be as thick as the earth above their heads, or they may have been as ethereal as the blue sky above the earth.
Perhaps there was no other person in the world who could understand his gaze.
Zhou Yi walked forward and put his hand on Ma Xu's shoulder.
"Let me help you regain your ability to speak." Zhou Yi said.
Threads of electric current flowed from his hand to Ma Xu's body. That weak electric current quickly stimulated Ma Xu's cells, causing a new change to his body.
The research level on science in the "Black Star" world was high to the point that Zhou Yi was afraid, but they did not walk the path of developing their potential. In Zhou Yi's world, martial arts did not exist.
Therefore, Zhou Yi was able to do what the world relied on technology to do.
When Zhou Yi's hand left Ma Xu's shoulder, Ma Xu opened his mouth and let out a sound again after dozens of years: "Zhou Yi …"
"..." "I haven't seen you in fifty-four years, and you still surprise me this much …"
Zhou Yi smiled, "To you, it's fifty-four years, but to me, it hasn't even been half a year."
This was almost like revealing his identity. Although Ma Xu said it in surprise, his face didn't show any shocked expression. In his fifty-four years as a 'Destroyer' career, he had already forgotten how to express his emotions in his expression.
"Do you have anything you want to ask me?" Ask away. " Zhou Yi said. Towards this old friend of his, Zhou Yi still had an unspeakable emotion in his heart. He didn't want to hide it from him.
Another reason was that the Tik Tok had just issued a quest:
"Main Mission: Change the World!"0
Use your ways to change the world, whether it's destruction or rebirth, whether it's going forward or down another path.
"The reward will be evaluated when the mission returns."
This was Zhou Yi's first time receiving such a strange mission, and his response was already taking shape in his mind.
Ma Xu stared at Zhou Yi for a few seconds, then said: "Although we are 45 kilometers underground, but every word we say will appear in front of the entire human race and Black Star."
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Yi continued to smile.
"Well, if you insist." Ma Xu said, "I have a question. I have been holding it in in my heart for fifty-four years."
"Where are you from?"
"You can think of it as another universe, or a higher dimension." Zhou Yi said unhurriedly. At this moment, he did not hold back anything and decided to tell the truth to everyone in the world.
"In my world, the level of technology has already reached the extent that it can cover the entire universe, but there is still a huge gap between civilizations. Not only is there the development of technology, there is also a person's great power, we call it 'Martial Arts'.
There are a few existences that have reached the pinnacle of this path. They are able to use their own power to travel along time lines, traverse different parallel spaces, and tour the many universes. They are able to create worlds with a single thought, and also destroy worlds with a single thought. "
Zhou Yi's words were short, but these short sentences were no less than a nuclear explosion. It caused a huge uproar in the world, and countless people — people from Earth, people from the Black Star, their views of the world, were all shaken at this moment.
"Incredible." Ma Xu said.
