Qinchuan had a dream, a very long dream. In the dream, he was moving forward in a dark world, trying to find a way out. However, no matter which direction he ran in, he could not find an exit or a way to leave this world.
Day after day, year after year, Qinchuan's heart gradually turned from tough to numb. His legs, which were good at running, became staggered as if they were filled with lead. His eyes were dim and lifeless.
Just when Qinchuan thought that he would never be able to leave this dark world and would die of old age, a ray of light suddenly appeared in his world. It was a ray of black light.
He was clearly in a pitch-black world. He shouldn't have been able to see the black light, but he did. It was very strange and wonderful. When he tried to reach out and touch the black light, his world suddenly became bright.
After sleeping for ten years, Qinchuan opened his eyes for the first time.
The moment Qinchuan opened his eyes, some dazzling light pierced into his eyes, causing him some discomfort. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to block the light, but his hand did not listen to the command of his brain. It was like a rusty machine that could not operate normally according to the system's command.
When his eyes gradually adapted to the light, Qinchuan's eyes reflected a new thing. A person, a woman with a very cold temperament, wearing a silver mask.
Facing Qinchuan's gaze, Night Serenity said indifferently, "How do you feel?"
Hearing Night Serenity's words, Qinchuan opened his mouth, but no words came out. Night Serenity raised her hand and poured some light green liquid into Qinchuan's mouth. The liquid flowed down Qinchuan's throat and into his stomach. It was as if an electric current had reactivated Qinchuan's body.
"Who … are you?"
Qinchuan looked at Night Serenity with a puzzled gaze. After sleeping for a long time, his memory of some things had become distorted. Perhaps he would need to wait until he completely recovered to sort everything out.
"My name is Night Serenity, your savior."
Night Serenity looked at Qinchuan with a subtle gaze. "You were asleep for a long time. It was I who saved you with the elixir."
Upon hearing Night Serenity's words, Qinchuan froze for a moment before replying, "Thank you."
"Have a good rest and recall what happened in the past. Then I'll come to see you again."
Night Serenity got up and walked outside. She wanted to give Qinchuan some independent space and time to think and recall.
After Night Serenity left, Qinchuan closed his eyes and used his weak mental strength to sense his body's condition while recalling what had happened in the past.
He vaguely remembered a battle between himself and Po of the Void Empire. Even though he managed to kill Po, he was severely injured and fainted. When he woke up, he was already here.
"I forced myself to use an immortal technique. It drained all the energy in my body, including my mental strength. That's why I fainted on the spot.
As expected, it was too much for me to use an immortal technique in my condition. "
Qinchuan thought to himself. "I should've died on the spot. It was the runic sword that saved my brain."
Qinchuan's brain was shattered, but the runic sword protected the core. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to wake up.
When Qinchuan suddenly used an immortal technique, the runic sword didn't even have time to react. Qinchuan's energy was drained in an instant. Now that he thought about it, Qinchuan still felt some lingering fear. If he had chosen a safer method to kill Po, perhaps he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.
"I should've used the little armored dragon to devour that guy."
Qinchuan sighed. "If I'd known the aftereffects of an immortal technique would be so terrifying, I wouldn't have taken such a risk."
After thinking about it for a while, Qinchuan fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, his energy had finally recovered, and he saw Night Serenity again.
"I've already had someone check on your body. You're in a very bad condition. You've lost all your cultivation. You're no different from an ordinary person."
Night Serenity looked at Qinchuan with a subtle gaze. "You should be glad that you're a young man in your thirties. If it weren't for that, your body would've turned to dust when you lost all your energy."
Qinchuan pursed his lips when he heard Night Serenity's words. He said to Night Serenity, "Thank you for saving me. How long was I unconscious for?"
"A very long time." Night Serenity didn't give a specific time. "It's a miracle that you woke up."
As he spoke, Night Serenity picked up a syringe from the table beside him and inserted it into Qinchuan's arm. He injected a red liquid into Qinchuan's body. Qinchuan only felt a warm current flowing through his body. It was very comfortable.
"This is a vitality potion that can only be found in Area 56. It can stimulate your body's vitality and make your body come back to life."
Night Serenity put down the syringe and said to Qinchuan, "Right now, you're still lingering on the edge of death. It's like the final radiance of the setting sun."
Qinchuan looked at Night Serenity curiously and asked, "Why did you pay such a price to save me?
We don't seem to have anything to do with each other. "
"It didn't matter in the past, but it's different now." Night Serenity chuckled. "I saved you, so you owe me a life. I'm your benefactor."
Qinchuan couldn't refute Night Serenity's words because Night Serenity had said a lot. He did owe Night Serenity his life, but he didn't like owing others favors. So, he asked frankly, "How do you want me to repay you?"
"It's too early to talk about this. I'll use the best Celestial Cluster potion to heal your body and help you return to your peak. When the time comes, we'll talk about repaying the favor." Night Serenity looked at Qinchuan and asked, "What do you think?"
Qinchuan frowned slightly and said to Night Serenity, "You said Celestial Cluster?
Aren't we in Tron Nebula? "
"This is indeed the Celestial Cluster. I'm a member of the Celestial Cluster, and now you're one too."
Night Serenity said to Qinchuan, "As for the Tron Nebula you mentioned, it's just a small place in the countryside. There's no need to miss it."
Qinchuan was speechless. The prosperous Tron Nebula was just a small place in the countryside in Night Serenity's eyes. How powerful and prosperous was the Celestial Cluster?
"You need to rest now. If you have any questions for me, ask away." Night Serenity looked at Qinchuan. "I'll continue to inject you with the potion later. You'll be very sleepy."
Qinchuan thought seriously and asked, "I want to know what you do."
Night Serenity heard Qinchuan's question and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He smiled playfully. "I'm a galactic pirate. To be precise, I'm a galactic pirate leader. I kill without batting an eye and do all kinds of evil.
In the future, you'll also be a galactic pirate. "
