Chapter 63: The Transformation of Time and the "Door"

Flying artillery fire and filling the air with smoke were common sights on the battlefield, but what the Beloberg soldiers were facing at this moment was not that simple.

In the face of natural disasters and man-made calamities, human power is often insignificant. When faced with a meteorite, humans may be able to intercept it with missiles and nuclear bombs. But when faced with a satellite that is truly floating in space, what means do people have to stop its movement?
The answer is no. Even if the Silver Mane Guards mobilized all their technological power and used the most advanced weapons, they could not move this star that was about to fall.

Compared with this huge star, Cocolia's mecha can be regarded as a drop in the ocean. Maintaining the same falling speed as the satellite, the creation engine's hands just touched it, and the unparalleled force made Cocolia's insignificant acceleration seem ridiculous.

"At this time, the distance between the asteroid and Yalilo VI is about 10 meters."

The nearly one thousand energy cannons on the ground hardly require aiming, and each shot hits the celestial body, reducing its considerable volume. However, this mass is still too small for a satellite the size of the moon.

The familiar feeling of gravity coming from the ground slowed down the entire satellite's descent. Cocolia knew that it must be Walter who took action.

The gravity of the satellite's descent was greatly reduced, and coupled with the continuous weakening of the Silver Mane Iron Guards, this gave Cocolia a glimmer of hope.

"You must stop it!"

In the cockpit, Cocolia no longer cared about her own situation. Her only thought now was how long her mecha could hold out. Once the satellite fell, no matter where she hid on the planet Yalilo, she would probably be wrapped in volcanic lava, and the reshaping of the ecosystem would be no less than the ice world transformed by the star core more than 700 years ago.

Just like Asari Rand who was powerless to resist the invasion of the Antimatter Legion more than 700 years ago, will her descendants face the same situation today, 700 years later?
Cocolia was unwilling to give up, but even if she bit her silver teeth into pieces, it would not add any strength to her resistance. Even if it was futile, she could only stand up. Even though she knew it was impossible, as the great guardian, she had to...

"We can't back down in front of the people!"

"Ahhh!"

The energy core of the creation engine, which was like a nuclear reactor, gradually went out, but in return it was a driving force that was unique on this planet. Thanks to the efforts of Walter, Silver Mane Iron Guard, and Cocolia, the downward trend of the satellite in front of them seemed to have really slowed down.

"?"

I don’t know if it was an illusion before I died, but Cocolia really felt that the satellite in front of her seemed to have stopped, just like her life that was about to disappear.

Her vision gradually blurred, her hands and feet became cold, and she felt as if she couldn't breathe air for a moment. The hand holding the guardian's spear also became weaker. Cocolia knew that her end was coming.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but a blurry white-haired man appeared in front of Cocolia's eyes. The aura around him made Cocolia feel very familiar, just like the person she had always wanted to meet.

"If Yao Luo hadn't stopped growing in the past seven years, he would probably look like this..."

Her soft lips trembled slightly, and Cocolia herself didn't know whether she made any sound. In the last moment before her eyes closed, she heard a nostalgic and gentle voice.

"You did a great job, leave the rest to me."

Cocolia, who had closed her eyes, did not notice the changes in space at this time. The Creation Engine, Cocolia, and the huge satellite that almost destroyed the entire ecosystem had arrived at a place where they should stay.

space.

In the cold and silent Milky Way, the stars are like toys in the hands of some unspeakable beings, arranged in no regular pattern on the vast canvas of the universe.

How could a star that was about to fall to the ground appear here without any warning? Was it a horrible joke from heaven, allowing people to experience the feeling between life and death, or was it some inexplicable effect of the universe, which mercifully let the star fly back on its own?

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

When Yao Luo personally stood in this vast and boundless galaxy, he recalled the scene when he was reborn.

What Walter didn't know was that when Yao Luo's soul and body were united again, the "golden light" buried in the deepest part of Yao Luo, which should have been able to exert its power seven years ago, connected with Yao Luo's destiny for the first time.

“#%*&…”

It was a string of unknown garbled characters, but for some reason, Yao Luo could understand its meaning.

"I'll grant you what I promised you." The three golden lights represent three opportunities. Yao Luo can ask questions and ask for everything he wants. It seems beautiful, but Yao Luo knows that everything has a price.

Leaving his hometown to come here is the price he has to pay. Being visited by the Memory Star God Fu Li and having the responsibility entrusted to him is the price he has to pay. At this moment, if what he has promised exceeds what he should have, then the price he will pay will also be extremely terrifying.

This is what is meant by “the promised thing.”

“I want to know: Who am I?”

"You are Yao Luo, a human being, a [Messenger] chosen by the Star God of Memory. You have the mission of preserving the memory of all tangible things. But when you are bound by the flesh, you will not be able to exert your true power. When you do not perform your duties, you will also be unable to move forward because you violate the [Original Power]. You still..."

Yao Luo couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly. Perhaps he shouldn't have known that at that moment, or perhaps he couldn't understand the language, so he still got two very crucial pieces of information.

1. The fragment of memory that the Star God Fu Li gave him actually confirmed his identity as the [Messenger].

Second, if I do not fulfill this responsibility, my ability to remember my destiny will not improve.

Yao Luo folded his hands across his chest and closed his eyes. This answer answered many questions in his mind.

He only heard the word "Messenger" by chance in the background story that Walter explained to him after he boarded the Starry Sky Train. Even though he knew that he had the ability to "remember" his destiny, he did not regard himself as the "Messenger" who had the ability to change the galaxy as Walter mentioned.

It was like he had accidentally obtained the nuclear missile launch codes of all countries in his previous life, but he didn't understand what the numbers were for and couldn't find the input window. Even if he had the ability to change the world, he was blind and powerless.

Just after answering Yao Luo's question, one of the three golden lights disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Luo put forward his second request.

“I need a door, a door that can connect fantasy and reality, future and imagination, and even allow me to return to my hometown. A door with infinite possibilities.”

Yao Luo swallowed his saliva. He knew that infinite power meant infinite price, and he immediately added.

"I will fulfill my duty during the journey and preserve the memory of all tangible things. The conditions for using the door may be limited, but no matter how long it is, I will definitely return to my hometown."

Unlike many time travelers who have no parents but have a sister and a house, Yao Luo still has parents who have no one to take care of him, and family and friends who care about him. If there is a chance to go back to his previous life, he is unwilling to miss it.

"It would be best if the door is two-way." Yao Luo added that the more debts one has, the less worries one has. If there is a chance, he would also like to use some of the world's power to repay his motherland, although he doesn't know whether this golden light can do it.

"Come on, Jin Guang. Show me your limits."

After a long wait of more than ten seconds, the golden light in front of Yao Luo finally changed, and with a whoosh it turned into a stream of light and appeared in his hand.

It was the mark of a meteor that streaked across the sky. There was nothing around it, but it was flowing endlessly forward.

The moment the mark appeared on Yao Luo's hand, Yao Luo had a feeling that he could open a door in every direction of his thoughts.

This door can be between spaces, or it can be a door connecting to dreams, fantasies, and all tangible things.

The "gate" will accumulate the completion of its mission as a memory messenger. When it reaches a certain level, it will turn into a star. One star can allow Yao Luo to open the door to the "other world".

"Finally, I hope..." Taking a deep breath, in this spiritual space where no one knows and no one is aware of, Yao Luo made his last wish.
