I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1421

Chapter 1421: Chapter 1423: Time Law Chapter 1421: Chapter 1423: Time Law “`
Song Jian cautiously brought the Law Fragment close to the immature Posuo Fruit. The Posuo Fruit was a treasure, and the Law Fragment was also valuable. Should the two items not interact as he imagined and instead be damaged due to a clash of the Power of Law, Song Jian's loss would be substantial.

Fortunately, as Song Jian brought the Law Fragment near to the Posuo Fruit, the fragment trembled slightly as if it were somewhat afraid, while the Posuo Fruit showed no reaction at all.

In the moment that the Law Fragment touched the surface of the Posuo Fruit, a powerful suction force emanated from the fruit. Song Jian, holding the fragment, involuntarily loosened his grip, and the fragment, like iron drawn to a magnet, stuck to the Posuo Fruit.

Before long, the Law Fragment, clear as a crystal, began to slowly melt and seep into the Posuo Fruit, as if it had never been there.

Looking again at the properties of the Posuo Fruit, there was almost no change– it was still “an immature Posuo Fruit,” except that mysteriously the name was now followed by “69%.”

“Does this mean there's only 31% left until it's fully mature?” Song Jian guessed, his face revealing a trace of pleasant surprise.

With this thought, Song Jian looked up towards the distant stone forest. In his eyes, the giant lizard dragon people living in the stone forest had all become nutrients to cultivate the Posuo Fruit.

“I have the Shattered Divine Realm, I have the Enemy of Death God. I don't fear death like others do. They're just monsters with the Power of Law. What's there to be afraid of!” Song Jian thought to himself, and with a thought, flew back towards the stone forest.

The Time Law was an exceptionally rare opportunity to understand. Now facing the chance, it was worth risking his life!

In the Space-Time Rift, a Ghost Ship enshrouded by a dark, skeletal aura, slowly traveled amongst various light spheres, big and small. These light spheres seemed incredibly distant from the Ghost Ship, much like viewing stars from Earth, but without the protection of the Ghost Ship, one would instantly be swept into one of these light spheres by the chaotic space-time currents.

These light spheres were all fragment universes born within the Space-Time Rift. In a single second, countless fragment universes collapsed, and tens of thousands came into being.

These fragment universes were filled with all manner of dangers and also the birthplace of various treasures. No one knew whether these fragment universes would still exist in the next moment.

The Doomsday Cruise Journey involved throwing a group of travelers into these fragment universes at regular intervals to gather the treasures within.

Although the death rate was extremely high, as long as one person managed to bring back treasures from one Doomsday Cruise Journey, the trip was considered profitable!

“Captain, another person has died. This group is way too fragile. Just upon entering, over a dozen died, and now, in just a short day's time, over thirty have perished!” reported a skeletal crew member carefully monitoring a mirror-like device, continuously relaying updates.

In this mirror, the visages of all the passengers were displayed, and above each passenger's head, a few flames burned. A third of the passenger portraits had already turned to gray, and just as the skeletal crew member was speaking, another passenger's portrait suddenly grayed out.

“Hey, look, the flames above this guy's head just increased by one. Heh heh, looks like he's found some treasure again. Impressive, impressive. You better survive, I'm rooting for you!” the skeletal crew member let out a chilling “hehehe” laugh, excitedly staring at the mirror.

Just then, the excited skeletal crew member suddenly froze, staring wide-eyed at the mirror, even making a motion as if rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

“Captain, captain, come quick! Someone's flames have turned gold, golden flames have appeared!” The voice of the skeletal crew member instantaneously reverberated through the entire cabin, drawing all the skeletal crew members over.

“`
“What, golden flames? Has some lucky fellow actually ignited a golden flame? Let me see…”

“Don't snatch, don't snatch, it's just a single golden flame ignited, what's so remarkable about that? Don't rush, let me have a look first…”

“Hehe, indeed it is a golden flame. After so many Doomsday Cruise Journeys, at last, I see the golden flame again!”

All passengers had red flames above their icons, differing only in quantity. Ordinary people generally had but a single red flame, but as passengers delved deeper into exploration, gaining more and more treasures, the number of flames above their icons would increase. It was considered quite impressive to reach six or even seven flames, and rare were those who could achieve the maximum of nine flames.

However, once a passenger found an extremely precious treasure, the flame above their head would turn golden. A passenger with a single golden flame would undoubtedly attract the attention of the entire Ghost Ship.

At that moment, Captain Swo also received notice that a passenger had acquired a golden flame. Without knowing why, the image of Song Jian surfaced in Captain Swo's mind.

“Hehehe, I wonder if it's that kid. Among so many people, he's probably the only one with the strength to ignite a golden flame. He truly is a lucky fellow!” Captain Swo thought to himself as he walked into the cabin and approached the monitoring mirror.

“It's really him, hahaha, I knew it! Only this kid could be lucky enough, but it's a pity, such a pity…” Captain Swo began with a hearty laugh, then shook his head in regret, sighing incessantly.

“Captain, we've struck it rich this time. Why the shaking of the head and sighing?” a skeleton crew member beside him asked, puzzled.

“It's a pity that he is favored by the Dragon God. Otherwise, I really would've wanted to sway him to become a follower of the Death God. With his potential, he has the chance to grow into the Holy Child of the Death God…” Swo sighed.

“Captain, shall we secretly intervene and cause him to directly fall in…” the skeleton crew member beside him whispered quietly.

“He is a chosen one of the gods!” Captain Swo said coldly, turning to glare at the skeleton crew member, his voice eerie, “The gods have made a covenant to protect these individuals. Are you trying to provoke a divine war between the Death God and the other deities?”

With Captain Swo's ominous tone, frost began to fill the cabin. The frost spread quickly, soon covering the entire cabin.

“No, no, boss, I didn't mean that, I, I was just…” The skeleton crew member became panicked, backing away while frantically waving his hands, as if trying to explain something.

But soon, the frost reached his feet, and in no time at all, the skeleton crew member was covered with it. The flame in his eye sockets began to slowly extinguish, and eventually, he turned into a frozen sculpture with an expression of terror on his face!

“Do what you are supposed to do, or else this will be your fate!” Captain Swo yelled, satisfied with the silence of everyone else. He nodded slightly and pointed to the monitoring mirror showing Song Jian's icon, shouting, “Keep a strict watch on this man. I want to know his situation at all times!”

Having said this, Captain Swo gave everyone a glance, turned, and headed toward the deck. Navigating through the Space-Time Rift was no simple task; a moment's inattention could result in being forever lost in the mirrors of time and space.

“Such a bunch of troublesome creatures!” Captain Swo snorted coldly, leaving the cabin. It was a long while before the other skeleton crew members in the cabin began to move again. In the center of the cabin, a skeleton encased in ice stood like a statue, a warning to all.
