Chapter 333: The Last Person

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A lot had happened in the past 50 years. Wei Huo had traveled to the Southern Continent, the Eastern Continent, and the Central Continent in those 50 years before returning to the Northern Continent.

The Northern Continent had now become the center of the world. The largest launch tower in the world was there. The purpose of this launch tower was to accelerate the spacecraft so that it could overcome gravity and travel to space.

The technology of the Atlanteans had been handed over to humans, but digesting this technology was not easy. They had obtained all the spacecraft of the interstellar pirates, but analyzing it, finding materials, and then manufacturing it was a difficult process.

However, as long as all humans united, no problem could not be overcome. Over the past 50 years, a constant stream of spaceships had been leaving Earth through the launch tower and heading into space, heading out of the Solar System.

Although these spaceships had yet to figure out the secrets of super-lightspeed flight, scientists could research it while the spaceships advanced. Super-lightspeed flight technology would be developed sooner or later.

Wei Huo had been observing everything silently for 50 years. No one could see or touch him, so even if Wei Huo stood in front of a person, that person would not be able to discover him.

Over the past 50 years, Wei Huo had visited many old friends, but none of them had seen him. For example, Lu Qiqi could not see Wei Huo even if he was standing in front of her. They could not communicate.

Wei Huo gradually got used to it.

However, during the fifth decade, people had already started planning to migrate. Every day, spaceships would leave through the launch tower. They could not wait for the 55th year. During the 50th year, people would leave one after another.

At that moment, at least 10,000 spacecraft were parked in Earth’s orbit. These spacecraft would accelerate through the orbit tower and leave Earth completely. They would then fly away.

This was a mighty migration. There had been several major migrations in human history, but none of them could be compared to this one.

The Zerg watched everything silently. They did not stop them, as letting all the humans leave was a good thing for them. They only wanted Earth.

The fleet outside the Solar System had left for some reason, causing the Zerg to be even more fearless. However, the Zerg did not know that Earth was about to be destroyed.

The human migration did not dispel their ambition to invade Earth. Now that they had finally found such a planet, they would not give up easily.

That day, a few higher-ups of the Northern Continent were leaving as well. As one of the current leaders of the human race, Lu Qiqi was leaving too.

Wei Huo knew this, so he came to bid her farewell. However, Lu Qiqi did not know that Wei Huo was there.

Wei Huo knew very well that this farewell might be goodbye forever. However, he still could not turn his Phantom Body into a physical body. That was why he could not meet Lu Qiqi. Similarly, he could not meet his other old friends either.

Lu Qiqi did not have anything to pack. Her Black Dragon servants had already packed her luggage for her. However, before she left, she turned around and glanced at Wei Huo’s location. She only took a glance. Besides, no one knew if she was looking at the planet or if she sensed Wei Huo’s presence.

However, she eventually left. She boarded the flagship of the human fleet and headed into space to find a new planet suitable for humans.

Wei Huo bade his old friends farewell, but they could not see him. When he bid Ma Tengyun farewell, Ma Tengyun said a few more words. He said, “Wei Huo, I know you’re not dead, but I don’t know if you can hear me now. We’re leaving soon. That’s why this is the last time I’m talking to you. You have to remember that the gluttonous snake isn’t a gluttonous snake. We’re the gluttonous snakes.”

Ma Tengyun said something incomprehensible and left. He boarded the spacecraft and left the Earth through the launch tower. His space fortress, Soaring Cloud Castle, was waiting for him in space.

Wei Huo could not say goodbye to Xiao Bin, as he had entered Kunlun Mountain. He had embarked on his mission, but he did not know if he would return.

Zhou Song was already married and had a child. He had already taken a spacecraft and arrived in the sky. He often smoked and spoke to the endless starry sky alone. “I will never achieve as much as you in my life, but I have lived a good life. At least I lived the life I wanted to live.”

As his old friends left one after another, Wei Huo watched them leave. He wanted to stay on Earth and comprehend the Phantom Body and the Rule of Death. He wanted to break through to the Mythical stage!

Wei Huo’s mentality had returned to the state it had been in when he was 17 or 18 years old. He did not feel lonely at all. He had felt all the loneliness in the world, but in the end, he had eliminated the loneliness in his heart. His heart was completely empty.

As mentioned in the Dao Scripture, true calmness was innate loneliness. Now, one could say that he was in a state of true calmness. Only after reaching this realm could he qualify to break through to the peak of the Legendary stage. However, he was still not satisfied. He wanted to use this opportunity to break through to the Mythical stage.

Wei Huo stood on a tall mountain and watched the spaceships leave Earth one after another through the launch towers. Humans were proud to have created so many spaceships in just 50 years.

Besides, humans had also stayed true to their initial declaration. “We won’t leave a single person behind!”

They really had not left anyone behind. They had not given up on anyone, be it a high official or a civilian. Everyone was on a spacecraft. No one had been abandoned, be it an old man or a child. Everyone had been taken away, regardless of whether they were disabled or mentally handicapped.

No! There was one person left behind…

Wei Huo had been left behind. He had stayed behind willingly. Otherwise, he could have gone anywhere without riding a spacecraft.

After the last spacecraft entered the launch tower, Wei Huo’s figure appeared. There were many people in the spacecraft. A black child saw Wei Huo looking at them through the window and said in their language in shock, “There’s another person on the ground!”

His parents interrupted him. “Don’t talk nonsense. There’s no one left. Even we were sent to a spacecraft for free. Everyone, even if they fell into a cave, got lost in the forest, or were unwilling to leave and were forced to commit suicide, was sent to a spacecraft. There’s really no one left…”

The little boy pointed outside the glass and said, “But there’s really someone there. It’s true. I saw him!”

The mother took the boy in her arms and started crying. The people in the boat started sobbing. They were leaving their hometown. Forever.
