Xiao Yu had died once, and now Xiao Yu had come back to life again. Perhaps those red seaweed-like organisms gave Xiao Yu an insight, perhaps those white cockroaches made Xiao Yu feel the toughness of life, or perhaps the warmth of his homeland made Xiao Yu regain his confidence. In any case, Xiao Yu came back to life once again.
“The road ahead is vast and unpredictable, but I cannot lose my confidence because of that. I have always believed in one principle, no matter what kinds of hardships and obstacles, I will overcome them. Although this belief wavered for a period of time, I have now reaffirmed it.”
“No matter what, my current situation is much better than when I first left Earth. Back then, I was still able to develop to the level of the Milky Way’s second strongest civilization. I refuse to believe that the current me will sink into decline like this and be removed from the galaxy.”
Xiao Yu secretly made up his mind. The Hope spaceship left the Sun’s surface and once again entered outer space.
Skimming past dead, silent Mercury, constantly scorched by the Sun at every moment, skimming past Venus whose environment was still harsh but where life had begun to flourish vigorously in some places, skimming past the Earth asteroid belt where the red seaweed lived, skimming past the orbital path of Mars with its sky full of yellow sand, Xiao Yu arrived at Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system.
Xiao Yu tried to search here again for traces of the Jovian Phantom, to see whether he could gain something. Xiao Yu had basically confirmed that the Jovian Phantom was the predecessor of the Specter companion. Xiao Yu remembered that in the period after he had just left Earth, there were many Jovian Phantoms here around Jupiter. If he could find traces of the Jovian Phantom here, perhaps Xiao Yu could cultivate it again and let it reach the height the Specter companion once reached, thereby making up for his Luck Value loss.
Xiao Yu had also captured some Jovian Phantoms before and preserved them, but over the long journey, they gradually lost all radiation intensity and ultimately vanished without a trace. At that time, Xiao Yu had been extremely puzzled by this change. After encountering the Specter companion, the Specter companion gave Xiao Yu the answer, “They were starved to death.”
This answer made Xiao Yu suddenly understand.
By rights, after one hundred thousand years, the Jovian Phantoms here at Jupiter should have starved to death long ago, but Xiao Yu still held onto a bit of hope in his heart. Perhaps Jupiter’s environment was relatively special and could allow the Jovian Phantoms to survive for a long time?
