LRAB Chapter 2, New Life
Chapter 2, New Life
Ye Muxuan lay on the bed with his eyes open, looking dazed.
One second, two seconds...
One minute, two minutes...
One hour, two hours...
Having experienced perhaps eighty or ninety times, spanning over a hundred thousand years—at least, for a young man in his teens or twenties who could walk freely the last time—this might be hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, a very, very long time—Ye Muxuan, lying on the bed, had become so numb to the fact that this might be a second or two, a minute or two, or an hour or two, that he had no concept of time at all!
But what does it mean to just lie there?
When he finally had this thought amidst his numbness, and realized that he hadn't entered that cycle of dreams for a while, Ye Muxuan slowly sat up.
Looking up, he was greeted by an environment that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar. His eyes were slightly lowered, and there were already dried bloodstains on his armor. He smelled of blood all over his body.
He stretched out his hand, clenched his long, slender fingers into a fist, and then released it. After a few moments, feeling the immense and vast energy, Ye Muxuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and almost had the illusion of sucking all the air out of the surrounding space!
In fact, let alone a realm lord, even a star-level or universe-level being can physically traverse the starry sky and has long since transcended the realm of needing oxygen to survive!
He exhaled a long breath, as if he were expelling all the emotions from the past hundreds of thousands of years!
When I opened my eyes again, I could see beams of sunlight streaming in, and through the window, I could even see millions of Realm Lords in the main hall of the military base not far away!
This time, I didn't fall into that recurring dream!
Ye Muxuan stood up. He had repeated this process dozens of times, over hundreds of millions of years, and he was no stranger to this body! The only difference was that in the previous dozens of times, he was like a second personality of this body, able to clearly sense everything, but unable to control it. But now, he could sense that he was the sole master of this body!
As for the original Mu Xuan, it seems that after being seriously injured by that soul attack, his soul and consciousness slowly dissipated during the time when Ye Mu Xuan was trapped in the recurring dream!
Or rather, the process of Mu Xuan's consciousness dissipating was the recurring dream that Ye Mu Xuan experienced!
Ye Muxuan looked down at his armor, which was covered in blood from the last battle. The armor was cracked and torn apart with his bare hands, and he also took off all his clothes.
Stepping into the indoor swimming pool in another room, Ye Muxuan stood in the pool, letting the clear water automatically wash over his head, cleansing away the odor from his body! As if washing away emotions accumulated over nearly a million years!
Without any superfluous emotions, Ye Muxuan's heart was as cold as ice. Having endured dozens of recurring dream cycles, and nearly a million years of maddening hardship, he had forged an almost icy and sharp state of mind!
After rinsing himself clean, Ye Muxuan returned to the master bedroom, draped a large bath towel over himself, stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and gazed at the barracks hall not far away.
There, there are millions of World Lords, an equal number of Domain Lords, and a small number of Universe-level and Immortal beings!
His gaze was slightly lowered, and the floor-to-ceiling window outlined Ye Muxuan's silhouette, reflecting the dappled sunlight streaming in from behind.
"Villa 08563245, one set meal of 05726, and change the drink to 6127." Ye Muxuan's voice quietly rang out in the villa as his gaze fell on the reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Yes, Master!" The villa's built-in smart system responded instantly.
About ten minutes later, the villa gate opened, and the robot brought in the package Ye Muxuan needed. This was an intelligent robot; any living being that entered without the villa owner's permission would be killed by the military base's intelligent system!
Within the military base, unless the Venerable One who oversees the extraterritorial battlefield for the human faction perishes and the entire military base falls, it is absolutely safe!
The 6127 type beverage is actually an alcoholic beverage. It's a tiny bottle, no bigger than the palm of your hand, and even within the military system, it costs 10,000 military merits to exchange for it! And an ordinary realm lord is worth 100,000 military merits!
Mu Xuan himself wasn't fond of alcohol, so he had never exchanged any. Ye Mu Xuan, however, was different; as a newly reborn individual, he needed a bit of mental stimulation.
As the wine permeated his mouth and taste buds, and he felt its cool and refreshing sensation, Ye Muxuan finally felt a real sense of coming back to life!
……
Sitting in the living room, Ye Muxuan calmed his mind and sensed the vast number of items in his world ring.
He is Mu Xuan, and yet he is not Mu Xuan! And from now on, he will no longer stay on the outer battlefield!
Inside the World Ring are all the spoils of Mu Xuan's more than 100,000 years of venturing into the outer battlefields of the Desolate Domain! Of course, some of the most important things are stored in his inner world, but Ye Mu Xuan has now taken them all out and placed them in the World Ring.
The spoils of war, and the items that can be exchanged within the military system, are enormous! The number of spaceships alone exceeds one hundred million! However, the vast majority of them are Class C spaceships, which are essentially cannon fodder in extraterrestrial battlefields! Although they seem numerous, they are actually worthless.
The various weapons, armor, and other items he had acquired were all piled up haphazardly in his world ring.
Mystic arts, weapons, armor, spaceships, and support plants and metals—these are among the biggest expenses for a powerful individual, typically accounting for half or even seventy to eighty percent of their net worth! After killing the alien race, the mystic arts are no longer obtainable, and the support life forms will die with their masters, but weapons and armor are still a gain.
Of course, there were also all sorts of strange and wonderful loot.
For over a month, Ye Muxuan didn't leave the villa, but instead organized everything. The most valuable items, such as those exchanged from the military system's treasury—things that might not even be available at auctions in the outer world, including those from the cosmic kingdoms—were sorted out. Other items were spoils of war he had acquired over the years, such as "Stardust Sand," worth 800,000 Chaos Units. He possessed more than one of these treasures. There were also some small items that Muxuan cherished greatly, all stored in his inner world.
The remaining massive amount of items, aside from some necessities and things rarely seen in the outside world, or items and materials that are difficult to purchase with money, were stored in a new world ring. The rest were appraised by the intelligent computer, and then the acquisition personnel within the military system were contacted to sell these items to the military system.
Within the military base, a massive number of space warriors enter almost daily, while a large number choose to retire. Therefore, Ye Muxuan's actions were not unusual. At most, only the internal personnel who came to take over the items knew that Ye Muxuan's actions indicated he was about to retire.
However, Ye Muxuan had been a free man for over 100,000 years, and choosing to retire was his own choice, which did not require any comments from insiders.
