In the evening, after seeing off the guests, Li Xichen and his grandfather walked back to the living room and sat on the sofa.
Li Xianzong sighed, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, lit one, took a deep breath, coughed violently a few times, and said: "Xi Chen, you have been smart since you were a child. I know you have great ambitions. Now I am even more proud that you entered Panshui Academy, but this road is too dangerous, have you thought about it?"
Li Xichen said: "Grandpa, don't worry, since I have chosen this path, I am mentally prepared. I will definitely find my father and mother."
After hearing this, Li Xianzong showed a happy smile on his face. He thought of his son and daughter-in-law again, and felt a little sad in his heart.
"Xi Chen, your father and mother will be proud of you."
"After you go out, you must know how to hide yourself, pay more attention to everything, don't force yourself too much, be kind to others, and keep a low profile when you should. If you are too pushy, you will cause some unnecessary trouble."
Li Xichen said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will pay attention."
Li Xianzong added: "Yu Lin is also a good youngster. You two should help each other and learn from each other."
Li Xichen said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will do it."
Li Xianzong spoke carefully and explained everything one by one.
The grandfather and grandson chatted very late before going back to the room to rest.
Li Xichen was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He was a little excited, a little expectant, and a little uneasy.
"Hey, I wonder how my parents are doing. Why is there no news at all?" Li Xichen thought to himself.
Panshui Academy should have channels to find out about their parents.
"Oh, I'll ask after I get back to school."
Li Xichen thought to himself and gradually fell into sleep.
He had the most beautiful dream.
In the dream, he saw his parents, they were still alive, they were reunited, and the three of them were together again.
Li Xichen was very happy.
"Xi Chen, wake up."
The familiar voice was grandpa calling him to get up.
Li Xichen opened his eyes, stretched and said, "Grandpa, I'll get up right now."
After breakfast, Li Xianzong repeatedly warned, "No matter what happens, it's important to save your life. If you feel tired, come home. Grandpa is waiting for you at home."
Li Xianzong personally sent Li Xichen away from his hometown to Panshui University. This scene was never similar. Four years ago, he also sent away his son and daughter-in-law. Four years later, there was no news at all. Li Xianzong couldn't help crying, and Li Xichen also cried. He took Li Xianzong's hand and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Li Xichen turned around and looked quietly at the two-story bungalow where he had lived for ten years. Here was every detail of his life with his parents, his grandfather's kind face, the steaming pot on the stove, and the tree full of flowers in the yard. The apple trees with fruit, and the sheep all over the mountains and fields...
With his back to home and tears in his eyes, he strode forward. He is going to Panshui Academy to pursue the secret of his parents' disappearance.
Chen Yulin's father also told him to listen to Li Xichen and study hard in the future. He didn't have to worry about his mother's affairs. He would be discharged from the hospital and go home in two months.
Today, everyone in Zhulin Town came to see Li Xichen and Chen Yulin off. Everyone came up to shake hands with the two and say goodbye. One of the old men said: "Xichen, you have become a guardian at such a young age. You are really amazing."
The fathers of Li Xianzong and Chen Yulin asked Li Yunlong to help take care of their two children. Li Yunlong said that he would do it without them asking, and told them that the director of the galaxy valued them very much, so that they could rest assured.
Li Xianzong and Chen Yulin's fathers were relieved now. After all, the two little guys were too young.
In the end, Li Xichen hugged his grandfather, then resolutely stepped on the shuttle and disappeared into the sky.
Li Xianzong stood there, looking at the sky, with both joy and worry in his heart. His biggest wish was to see his son and daughter-in-law come back and reunite his family.
But now he has sent his only grandson out. Although he is going to school, he knows what Li Xichen is going to face. It is a void beast. The small one is bigger than the tall buildings in their town, and the big one is bigger than their Zhulin Town. big.
You know, the void beast can tear apart space, and will be eaten if you are not careful. Even if there is a divine source mecha, even if you can cultivate source power, and even if there is a defensive Great Wall, the powerful power of the void beast is still frightening. .
People in Zhulin Town dispersed one after another, and Li Xianzong also said goodbye to everyone. When he returned home, he was still worried. He was afraid that he would not be able to see his son and daughter-in-law again, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see Xi Chen come home.
"Brother Chen, are you okay if you didn't sleep last night?" Chen Yulin asked with concern.
Li Xichen said: "Yulin, I'm fine. I slept well last night."
"Principal, can you tell me about the Kunpeng mecha?" Li Xichen looked up at the principal and said loudly.
Li Yunlong said: "The origin of the Kunpeng mecha can be traced back to the eight-domain human civilization millions of years ago. This civilization has reached an extremely high level in terms of technology and natural philosophy. Through the study of biological forms and technology, they developed A mecha with self-awareness and high intelligence was born. The Kunpeng mecha is a representative work of this technological civilization and was used to protect the border security of this civilization... But the good times did not last long. Our ancestors failed and we wandered. universe……."
"Mecha Kunpeng is a powerful combat mecha, its main functions are offense and defense. It has an elegant design, reaches a height of fifty meters, a weight of three hundred tons, and is covered with high-strength metal armor, providing excellent defense Ability. It is equipped with advanced weapon systems internally, including high-energy particle cannons, missile launchers and energy swords, etc., giving it a powerful attack power on the battlefield. The most important thing is that it can absorb the void beast's source core evolution to enhance combat capabilities. Of course, its own factors also affect the combat power of the Kunpeng mecha. Whether it can unleash its capabilities depends entirely on its owner."
"Principal, when can I pilot the Kunpeng mecha?" Li Xichen asked curiously.
Li Yunlong glanced at him, laughed and said, "Just wait until you complete the inheritance."
"Principal, what type of mecha is it and why can't I feel its presence?" Chen Yulin asked.
Li Yunlong smiled mysteriously and said: "Yulin, your mecha is of a special type. I don't know the specifics. It is a combination of Canglong and Qinglong. I will go back to school and use instruments to help you take a look."
"But when your inheritance is completed, you will also know the information about the mecha. But no matter how you drive the mecha, don't forget that the mecha is just a tool, and talents are the leaders. No matter how advanced the mecha is, it Neither can replace human wisdom and courage." Li Yunlong said.
Li Xichen and Chen Yulin both listened very carefully. They knew that everything the principal said was true, and all they needed to do was to keep learning and growing.
It was already afternoon when the shuttle returned to Panshui Academy. As soon as Li Xichen and Chen Yulin took off the shuttle, they saw a group of children gathering in the playground to listen to a class. They had sad faces and were listless, like leaves that had withered in the sun.
"Teacher, those words are as complicated as ghost drawings. It's really difficult to learn. Why do you memorize them by heart?"
"That's right, it's better to go to the virtual universe for actual combat!"
A group of children all had bitter faces and were very resistant.
"You guys are really ignorant. The source text contains mysterious power. No matter how many people want to learn it, there is no way. Once you succeed in learning, your combat power in controlling mechas will be doubled. You can improve it by practicing the source text. Yourselves." The teacher scolded them because he hated iron.
"Teacher, can you give me an analogy?" a student said.
"It's like a sword." The teacher said, "You are the embryo of the sword now, and the source text is the whetstone. Only by constantly sharpening on the whetstone can you become sharper and invincible."
"Teacher, how should we study the source text?" another student asked.
"First of all, you must cultivate your interest in the source text, read more, write more, and memorize more. Start with the familiar source text, gradually master more complex source texts, and understand the source of the guidance to temper yourself." The teacher said patiently, " Secondly, you must also pay attention to practice, practice more, and apply theoretical knowledge into practical operations. Finally, you must have perseverance and perseverance. Learning the source text is a long and arduous process that requires unremitting efforts."
"Teacher, please show us the power of the original text." An older child said.
"Ma Tian, come here and show them." The teacher shouted into the distance.
Ma Tian jumped forward and landed in front of everyone.
With a "buzz" sound, a piece of light appeared in the palm of his hand, and a strange text appeared, which seemed to be cast from metal, with a metallic luster and texture. Soon the other hand also appeared.
Ma Tian took two steps forward and picked up a gravity barbell that was taller than him.
"It's amazing!" Li Xichen also exclaimed. That was a doll about the same size as him. How could he lift such a barbell that was taller than himself?
"Teacher, what's going on?"
"This is the power of the original text." The teacher said, "The original text is the oldest text in human civilization. It contains mysterious power. Once mastered, it can unleash powerful potential."
"So magical?" A group of children exclaimed, and they suddenly became energetic.
"Yes, you have just come into contact with it and may not understand it well. Once you learn the first source text, you will have a deeper understanding." The teacher said.
"Let's go, you will also teach these in the future." Li Yunlong smiled.
After sending Li Xichen and Chen Yulin back to the dormitory, Li Yunlong explained a few more words before leaving.
After Li Yunlong left, Li Xichen made a video call to the director of the galaxy.
Soon the call was picked up, and a holographic projection of the length of the galaxy was displayed on the communication bracelet.
"Xi Chen, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?" came the slightly tired voice of Chief Xingxing.
"Master Xingxing, it's not yet. I bother you so late. I want to ask you for news about my parents. They went to the Liaoyuan Star four years ago." Li Xichen said in a childish voice.
Hearing Li Xichen's words, the slightly tired Chief of the Galaxy had a flash of surprise in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something, and then slowly said: "Xichen, I... I don't know about your parents."
Li Xichen's heart tightened. He stared closely at the holographic projection of the galaxy leader, holding the communication bracelet tightly with both hands. He felt his heartbeat speed up, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.
"But, I can check it for you." The galaxy leader looked at Li Xichen's anxious expression and said in a deep voice.
Li Xichen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he couldn't act too eager. He tried his best to calm down his mood and nodded: "Okay, thank you Mr. Xingxing."
The galaxy leader smiled slightly, and then his holographic projection began to flicker, and he disappeared from the communication bracelet.
Li Xichen sat on his bed, holding his head in his hands, his heart in a mess. He knew that the prairie planet was a dangerous place, and he also knew that his parents went there to find something important, but he never thought that something like this would happen.
He tried to recall the scene when his parents left. How happy they were at that time. They said they would come back soon, but now...
Li Xichen didn't dare to think about it anymore. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and waited for the reply from the galaxy leader.
Soon Xingxing Chang came back, seemed to sigh, and then said: "Your parents, they... they left three years ago."
Li Xichen's mind buzzed. Leave? What does leaving mean? Where did they go?
"They... went to the edge of the galaxy to look for the mother nest of the insectoid void beast." The galaxy leader looked at Li Xichen, who was a little distracted, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
When Li Xichen heard the news, he felt completely stunned. Did your parents go to the edge of the galaxy to find the nest of the insectoid void beast? How is this possible? They go to such a dangerous place to find the void beast's nest. Isn't that a narrow escape?
The director of the galaxy looked at Li Xichen's disappointed look, with a trace of unbearable flash in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Xichen, I know it is difficult for you to accept this fact, but it is true. The detector found the edge of the Liaoyuan Galaxy They found some clues, and their research team believed that the nest of the insectoid void beast was at the edge of the galaxy, so they decided to go there to look for it. In order not to worry you, they didn’t tell you the news."
Li Xichen's tears couldn't stop flowing down. He couldn't accept this fact. His parents clearly said they would come back soon when they left, but now they went to such a dangerous place. He felt his heart being torn apart and the pain was indescribable.
"Master Galaxy, can I still contact my parents?" He looked helplessly at the screen of the communication bracelet.
Chief Xingxing looked at him and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He knew that Li Xichen was a smart and kind-hearted child whose parents left for the future of mankind.
"Xi Chen, I know you are worried, but you have to believe in your parents, they will definitely come back." The galaxy leader said in a deep voice, "You need to be strong, take care of yourself, and wait for news from them."
Li Xichen took a deep breath. He knew that the galaxy leader was right. His parents went to the edge of the galaxy voluntarily. This was their choice. He couldn't blame anyone. But he also knew that his parents went there for the safety of the entire galaxy.
"Master Xingxing, I..." Li Xichen took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "I understand what you mean, and I want to ask you to do me a favor."
Chief Xingxing nodded: "Okay, just tell me, I will try my best to help you."
Li Xichen's heart warmed, and he knew that the Xingxing Chief really wanted to help him. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I would like to ask you to help me investigate the whereabouts of my parents and see if they have left any clues. I would also like to ask you to help me contact their friends and colleagues. Let’s see if they know the whereabouts of my parents.”
Chief Xingxing nodded slightly. He understood Li Xichen's current mood very well, and he would definitely try his best to help this child.
"We have already sent people to look for your parents. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible." The galaxy leader said in a deep voice.
Li Xichen nodded slightly, knowing that all he could do now was wait and let himself become stronger.
Chief Xingxing comforted Li Xichen for a few words, and Li Xichen expressed his thanks again and then disconnected the video communication.
"Brother Chen, aunt and uncle will be fine. When we get the mecha, you and I will go find them." Chen Yulin comforted.
Li Xichen raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he nodded vigorously.
What he needs to do now is to master the Kunpeng mecha as soon as possible and improve his strength. Then he can go to his parents. He began to try to communicate with the Kunpeng mecha.
But no response.
"Yulin, can your mecha communicate?" Li Xichen asked curiously.
Chen Yulin shook his head and said, "No response."
"Inheritance is to fuse the spirit with the mecha so that it can be perfectly controlled." Li Xichen said.
Trying it again, Li Xichen suddenly felt that his consciousness was pulled into a whirlpool, and then it became pitch black.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xichen suddenly felt his body lighten, and a huge force lifted him up.
He opened his eyes and saw that he was standing in a void, with stars twinkling around him, exuding a cold metallic luster.
"Is this the inside of the mecha?" Li Xichen thought curiously.
"Master, welcome to my world!" A voice sounded in Li Xichen's mind.
Li Xichen looked around in surprise, but saw nothing.
"No need to look, I'm in your consciousness."
"Are you Kunpeng? Why didn't I sense your presence?" Li Xichen asked curiously.
"Because I have merged with your consciousness, you naturally cannot sense my existence." The voice explained, "When you return to reality, you will be able to sense me."
"Oh." Li Xichen nodded.
"Master, after you merge with me, your spiritual power will be greatly enhanced. In the real world, you can use source power to strengthen yourself."
"How to use it?" Li Xichen asked curiously.
"Concentrate and follow my instructions."
Li Xichen closed his eyes and quickly entered an ethereal state.
"Now, imagine that your mind and body are completely integrated."
Li Xichen was moved by his thoughts and soon felt that his spirit and body were completely integrated.
"How amazing!" Li Xichen exclaimed.
"You can now use your source power to strengthen yourself."
Due to Li Xichen's thoughts, the source power in his body gathered into a ball, wandered in his body, and strengthened his body.
"ah!"
Suddenly, Li Xichen felt as if his body was about to be torn apart, and a heartbreaking pain came from him.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" the voice asked in surprise.
"It hurts, like being pricked by countless needles!" Li Xichen groaned.
"Master, this is your first time using source power to strengthen, and it's a bit overwhelming." The voice explained, "I will send you back to the real world first, and then strengthen it later."
"Yeah." Li Xichen didn't want to say anything now, he just wanted to get rid of this pain.
Soon, Li Xichen returned to the real world and regained consciousness.
"call!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Xichen felt as if he had experienced a catastrophe.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? Woohoo, you scared me to death." Chen Yulin suddenly hugged Li Xichen and burst into tears when he saw that Li Xichen's face was pale and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Li Xichen said with a pale face and a smile.
"I just tried it in the mecha to strengthen my body." Li Xichen explained.
"Don't worry, I'll just rest for a while." Li Xichen comforted him.
"Yes." Chen Yulin wiped away his tears and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you should try it too. If you can't stand it, quit." Li Xichen said.
"Yes." Chen Yulin nodded and began to communicate with Canglong and Qinglong.
Li Xichen lay on the bed and began to digest what he had just experienced.
