450 Dark Dream (2/2)
Furthermore, in front of him was an oar. More accurately, it was a lantern oar. At its tip hung a light made of a green sack!
Lone Boat, Black Robe, Lantern Oar…
The moment he saw all this, Wang Baole uncontrollably thought of Zhao Pinfang's mural, the one he had seen in the Mars research facility…
All this confused him. His thoughts also seemed to become blurry with the quietness of the surrounding nothingness. Gradually, as the sampan advanced slowly, together with the peacefulness of the surroundings, Wang Baole could no longer keep his eyes open. He sat down in the Lone Boat, leaning against its side, about to fall into a deep slumber. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
In between wakefulness and sleep, he vaguely heard a tune coming from afar. The tune wasn't from a child, but from an elderly yet warm voice. It reverberated by his ears, accompanying him to dreamland.
”When the heavens and earth separate, the cycle of fate stops…”
”Knowing what happened in the past, the one who suffers now is…”
”Knowing what's to come in the future, the one who is working hard now is…”
The tune reverberated, eventually filling up Wang Baole's consciousness. His head was slanted, and his eyelids trembled, wanting to open his eyes. However, he was simply too tired, and eventually completely lost consciousness…
As he fell into a deep slumber, the consciousness that arrived seemed to appear beside the Lone Boat that was advancing in the nothingness. It gradually transformed into an elder's illusory figure, standing on the Lone Boat as he looked at Wang Baole. He was full of emotion, and his gaze was warm.
The only seed left in this world… Perhaps, this is a reincarnation…
Forget it… The elder sighed softly, raising his right hand and pressing it on Wang Baole's glabella, mumbling as he did so.
”Dark Dream…”
Wang Baole indeed felt that he was in a dream, an indescribable dream. In this dream world were brilliant lights that made him very unwilling to wake up.
After an unknown period of time, he heard the familiar tune again. The sound was warm and amiable as usual, and it seemed to be approaching him from afar. It reverberated by his ears, and he opened his eyes.
He was still on the Lone Boat, and he was no longer surrounded by nothingness but by the cosmos!
The cosmos was so vast and limitless that he could see the swirling stars, as well as dust that he had never seen before. He could even see meteoroids floating and spinning by.
Everything was so foreign that Wang Baole was momentarily shocked. At the same time, he saw an elder holding a lantern oar in front of him, wearing a black robe!
He was using the lantern oar to journey through the cosmos…
”When the heavens and earth separate, the cycle of fate stops…”
”Knowing what happened in the past, the one who suffers now is…”
”Knowing what's to come in the future, the one who is working hard now is…”
The raspy, peaceful voice emerged from his mouth. Sensing that Wang Baole had woken up, the elder's voice paused. He turned around, revealing an extremely kind yet wrinkly face beneath the black robe. Age and warmth filled his eyes as he looked at Wang Baole and smiled.
”Baole, what happened to you?”
