<h4>Chapter 3389: The Escape</h4>


    “Stop. Stop stop stop. If you keep analyzing, we might as well surrender right now!”


    Theresa was having a headache. The jade did not seem reliable at all.


    The artificial intelligence was indeed bad. It was not as righteous and trustworthy as the Fist King.


    “Damn it. What is the so-called civilization of magic exactly? What happened after you arrived in the Emerald Continent that led to such a mess?”


    “Tell me the truth,” Theresa mumbled. “Why did part of the crew members of Jade stay in the Blood Demon Sector and turn into devils, while the rest of the crew members left the starship and went to the Emerald Continent to turn into human beings? Unless I get all the information, I don’t know whether or not I should unlock the damn genes of the witch!”


    “What—what are you talking about?”


    Princess Summer could not help it any longer. She looked at Jade with tears in her eyes. “Can I call you… Sister Jade? Please tell me everything from the beginning to the end. If there is a way that we can stop ck Jack and bring hope to the Emerald Continent, I’m willing to fight even if the odds are only one in a billion!”


    Theresa’s eyshes shivered slightly.


    “Fight for the one billionth chance” was what Master Yao often said.


    If only Master Yao were here.


    Theresa sighed in her heart again. Such aplicated situation was too much for her to handle alone!


    The jade and the cabin walls were glittering at the same time. Li Yao calcted for a moment and came to the conclusion that ck Jack could not break in yet.


    “Retrieve the captain log and analyze it.


    Jade told him everything that had happened in the past ten thousand years.


    Colorful stripes beamed out of his silver eyes and turned the central area of the cockpit into a mysterious, brilliant sea of stars that seemed to be pouring over their heads. The entire universe unfolded before their eyes.


    It was alright for Theresa, but it was the first time for Princess Summer to see such a magnificent scene. She covered her mouth in disbelief, but she could not help but exim.


    Shua!


    A few ripples suddenly spread out in the center of the splendid sea of stars. Then, a gargantuan, ragged starship jumped out.


    It could be seen that, because of the heavy damage to the starship, its shell and internal support structure were both on the verge of destruction. It could not resist the surging tides in the four-dimensional space. The moment it jumped out, one of its thrusters, together with a lot of cabins, was torn apart. Together with the crew members inside, the starship turned into scattered pieces and slowly dispersed into cold dust.


    “Under themand of Captain Berger, the seventy-ninth captain of Jade, we finally got rid of the hunting of the flood tide for now. But the price we paid was to crash into the raging tides in the four-dimensional space. We elerated and bounced with the help of the four-dimensional storms countless times. In the end, we were teleported to a mysterious universe that had never been seen before.


    Jade said casually, “Emerald lost 30% of its materials, 35% of its crew, and 70% of its energy. It almost turned into a giant iron coffin floating in the endless ocean of death. Even Captain Berger, whom we respected most, was burnt to the ground in the cockpit because he calcted the route and the methods to make use of the storm during the four-dimensional storm.


    “Despite the heavy losses, the survivors were still overjoyed because we had escaped the scourge of the flood. The fire of freedom was still burning.


    “Therefore, we call the time point the ‘New Era’. It represents the new beginning of our civilization.


    Theresa thought that it was exactly what she had experienced in the first test of the crimson pce.


    The experts of the Primeval n were truly terrifying beyond description. They could still think and calcte when they were passing through the four-dimensional space and their flesh and blood were all broken into pieces. There was no telling how they trained themselves.


    Princess Summer still did not understand what a flood was.


    But she finally understood that it was probably a very terrifying and powerful enemy, and the jade… or perhaps, her ancestors had fled to the Emerald Continent to avoid their natural enemies.


    The picture blinked. All the stars changed their direction and form. They appeared in the most dangerous ce in the universe. The stars were emitting furious redness and congregated into a magnificent stream of stars that seemed to be magma. They lunged at Jade—or rather, Jade lunged at the scorching stream of stars.


    “In Year 2493 of the New Era, Captain Wang Yaomanded Jade. At that time, we had been wandering in the universe where resources were scarce for thousands of years. Since the super fusion collection facilities on the starship were seriously damaged in the fierce battles and escapes two thousand years ago, we could not make use of the hydrogen and helium that mosts and stars had. Therefore, we could not repair ourselves and refill our energy quickly.


    Jade said, “Without enough materials and energy, we cannot repair the super fusion collection facilities. Without the super mutation collection facilities, we cannot collect the most abundant materials. We are trapped in an endless loop.


    “Over the past two thousand years, most of the surviving crew members have entered the hibernation state. However, due to insufficient energy and various faults, 20% of the survivors are still dying one after another, and the nutrition liquids and hibernation liquids that keep the living alive are running out.


    “In order to get the energy to repair the super fusion collection facilities, Captain Wang Yaomanded Jade to approach the most dangerous ce in the universe where the high-energy rays are concentrated.


    Theresa and Princess Summer saw clearly that the magma-like river of stars was releasing countless tentacles of mes toward Jade.


    Jade was asrge as a, but under themand of Captain Wang Yao, it was as agile as a rowing boat. It dashed left and right on the tentacles and seized the opportunity to absorb the strength of the stars.


    This was supposed to be a very sessful energy replenishment operation.


    However, the damage to Jade was too severe for the fragile structure of the starship to support the captain’s soul-stirring dodging movements. The price of the sessful energy replenishment was the expense of the other propeller, as well as the loss of more than 5% of the materials and crew members of the starship. They were torn apart and thrown away, falling into the burning stream of mes forever.


    “The shining of free willes with a price.


    “It’s a pity that not everyone is willing to die for free will,” Jade said casually.


    The picture blinked and changed again. This time, the entire universe was dimmed. Jade, which was passing through it, was rusted and riddled with holes, too. It seemed to be garbage that had been pieced together after being shattered.
