How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Is this so..."

Kong Yuqing and the others nodded knowingly, their faces showing expressions of emotion.

Having been unable to return home for so many years, they are probably the group of people who can most easily understand the two's thoughts.

However, apart from Kong Yuqing and the previous sect leader of the Five Elements Sect, the remaining cultivators who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years had almost all lost those they cared about most back then. Even if they left behind descendants, apart from helping each other out of blood ties, the feelings between them were not very deep.

Perhaps after spending more time together, we will develop new feelings for these blood relatives, but at least for now, what we miss most are those who are no longer here and the homeland of the Aoyoujie itself.

But Hei Yang and Hong Li are different; they live in this era, and the people they care about are all in the current world of travel!

Among everyone present, it might be difficult to say who cares most about the Aoyou Realm, but if we were to say who cares the most about the Aoyou Realm right now, it would undoubtedly be Hei Yang and Hong Li.

Even cultivators of similar eras, such as Kong Yuqing and the former sect leader of the Five Elements Sect, are far inferior to Hei Yang Hongli in this respect.

For example, Kong Yuqing, apart from the master who adopted her, can only be connected to the many disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

It's impossible for her not to care about her disciples, but to say that she cares about them like she cares about her closest family members is asking too much in terms of emotional ethics.

To put it bluntly, if something really happens to the space travel world, for these predecessors, it would mean forever losing a homeland they can never return to.

But for Hei Yang Hong Li, it meant losing everything!

Once everyone understood their thoughts, they naturally realized that there was absolutely no way to persuade them otherwise.

"But even so, we can't just send the two of you, can we?"

Kong Yuqing frowned and said, "There are many experienced seniors here. Wouldn't it be safer to have a few of them lead you?"

"Of course we know that we are far from having enough life experience to match yours, and we probably can't compare to your experience in handling emergencies either, but in the realm of the universe, aren't we all beginners?"

Hei Yang smiled and waved his hand in refusal, saying, "Under these circumstances, the more people there are, the more likely some unforeseen situations will arise. After all, if having more people were useful, wouldn't it be the case that everyone would take the Aoyou Realm together and have the highest success rate?"

"Well, although I think Hei Yang exaggerated a bit in some of his statements, that's the general idea."

Hong Li and her husband nodded in agreement, saying, "If we really compare the cards we can use in the universe, everyone else might not necessarily have more tricks up their sleeves than us."

"That's true..."

Kong Yuqing and the others nodded thoughtfully.

Time-traveling off-road vehicle, unlimited navigation device, communication mirror, pass...

In comparison, their past methods are not as practical as the various methods used by Hei Yang and Hong Li in the current situation.

"So you're sure..."

Kong Yuqing wanted to try to persuade him again, but before she could finish speaking, Hei Yang interrupted her.

"Alright, alright, no need to create this atmosphere. It's not like it's some kind of life-or-death situation."

Even if we encounter a predicament we can't handle, we know how to run away; we're not stupid enough to just sit around doing nothing.

Hei Yang smiled and refused, then summoned the Time-Space Off-Road Vehicle, boarded it with Hong Li, and drove off into the distance.

"Of course, if we really don't come back, everyone needs to be even more vigilant."

However, we can try to go and check it out. I think even if we two encounter some kind of desperate situation, there's still a chance to save us, yeah!

"What, you're still afraid of dying?"

Kong Yuqing looked helpless, quickly exchanged a few words with the seniors around him, waved his hand and said loudly, "Then let's keep in touch every day. If we lose contact for more than three days, we'll implement the rescue plan!"

"Understood."

Hei Yang Hong Li's voice gradually faded, and finally, along with her figure, disappeared into the vast universe, leaving behind a group of people in silence.

"Such swift and decisive action suggests that this decision was made a long time ago?"

Kong Yuqing gazed in the direction where Hei Yang Hongli had left, and murmured softly.

........................

"To be honest, even if we really do die, if we're together, our ashes can be scattered together as a pair of star-crossed lovers or something..."

In the off-road vehicle, Hong Li muttered to Hei Yang, "If we let others join in, wouldn't it just be another wipeout?"

If our ashes are scattered by someone, we won't be able to mix them in a perfect 1:1 ratio anymore; some impurities will definitely seep in..."

"Ah, of course, I don't mean any disrespect to the seniors in the space travel world when I say this!"

Hongli paused for a moment, then suspiciously turned her head to look at the direction from which there was no sign of anyone coming, muttering to herself, "But they shouldn't be able to hear us from this far away, right?"

"To be honest, in my past life's universe, let alone this far apart, even if we stood together in a near-vacuum environment, it would be difficult for anyone to hear us, let alone from this distance. Who knows why this universe is full of spiritual energy? But discussing others behind their backs is generally impolite, even though you didn't name names..."

Hei Yang casually remarked that the off-road vehicle was on autopilot. Hong Li and he themselves became idle on the road and complained, "Besides, Xiao Li, can't you talk a little more like a normal person? Mixing ashes together is just too awful."

"how?"

Hongli stared at Heiyang with dead fish eyes: "Does turning into ashes mean you'll fall in love with someone else and won't want to hang out with me anymore?"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Hei Yang quickly denied it three times: "It's just that Xiao Li's example was too grotesque. If possible, I'd rather not turn into ashes or anything..."

"To be honest, I feel that when you're about to die, it's still quite dignified to just detonate a bomb or self-destruct. You turn into ashes and leave no corpse behind, so you won't have an ugly death. You can avoid the gruesome death of having your body dragged out to be fed to dogs, beheaded and displayed to the public, or being whipped with your heart and lungs."

Hongli said earnestly, "So I suggest that adventurers should carry plenty of high-powered explosives when they're out and about. They can be used to injure enemies and clear a path, or to save face. Ideally, they should be able to blast people to smithereens, leaving no charred corpses or severed limbs. That way, you can remain in a beautiful state until the very end, and your loved ones won't see you with your eyes wide open in grief or your body mangled, which would only add to their sorrow. Of course, it would be even more perfect if you and Heiyang could die in each other's arms... Ah! My head..."

Hongli's long-winded speech came to an abrupt halt, and she looked at Heiyang with a wronged expression, scratching her head.

Hei Yang rolled his eyes at the other person in an annoyed tone: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the way you described my death. I had no intention of dying at all, okay? You're ridiculous, Xiao Li!"

"Hey, I'm just discussing how to handle accidental death, not actually saying I'm going to die."

Hongli pursed her lips, rested her elbows on her knees, propped her chin on her hand, and looked into the distance with a hint of melancholy. She asked, "I wonder how Xiaoxue is doing now?"

If she wakes up and can't find her mother, will she cry and scream? Will she be hungry if her mother doesn't feed her? Will she be unable to sleep if her mother doesn't hold her?

"Don't worry, Mom, Dad, and Xiao Huo will help take good care of her. Xiao Xue is very smart. Even though she can't speak yet, it won't stop her from recognizing her grandparents and sister."

Hei Yang reached out and put his arm around Hong Li, his gaze softening as he said, "Besides, we'll be back quickly. Xiao Xue might take a couple of naps and we'll be back by then. The little girl won't even know that her parents left home, so it'll be fine!"

"Can we go and come back quickly to see what the situation is like there?"

Hong Li sighed, then glanced at Hei Yang: "Besides, who said my Xiao Xue can't talk? Didn't she call me 'Mom' a few days ago?"

"Oh dear, Xiao Li, you must have misheard."

Hei Yang smiled and said, "You should call him Dad."

"Calling me 'Mommy'!"

"Calling me 'Daddy'!"

"It's mom!"

"It's Dad!"

"Hey you, you stinky black sun, are you trying to provoke me? You're twisting the truth, you're clearly calling for Mom."

"Don't lie to yourself, Xiao Li. I'm sure she called me 'Dad.' Xiao Xue was looking at me while she was saying it, okay!"

"You're talking nonsense! Xiaoxue reached out and hugged me back then!"

"Actually, I wanted to hug my dad, but my mom was blocking my way."

"Haha, I was just saying that Xiaoxue actually wanted to see her mother, but that guy was burying his head in our arms and blocking Xiaoxue's view."

"We must be realistic, Xiao Li!"

"Stop deceiving yourself, Black Sun!"

"........."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 478 Don't misunderstand, I'm always clumsy outside too, it's just that I feel more at ease when you're around.

Hei Yang Hong Li had imagined the scene of the universe's boundary many times, and had envisioned scenes that were obviously not simple, such as being shrouded in mist or having spacetime broken.

They also asked Grandma Meng about this, but she went through the official fast track and didn't know much about the specific situation there.

She was surrounded by retired cadres, each claiming to have connections everywhere and be well-informed, but after asking them for a long time, she still couldn't get any specific information from them.

Ask them about the situation; it seems like many of them know the answer.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that everyone gave a different version of the story.

Some say that the cosmic barrier is just a simple, semi-transparent light film.

Some say that the cosmic gap is a gigantic man-made gate that requires a special key to open.

Some say that the boundary of the universe has long since healed and closed itself off, and that thousands of years ago it turned from a passage into a dead end.

Some even say that the universe has no boundaries, and there are two giant beasts with wings on their backs. If you make them happy, they will work together to open a passage for people to pass through.

In short, there were all sorts of conflicting opinions, and they all spoke with an air of certainty, patting their chests and saying that they had acquaintances in that area who told them themselves, and that listening to them was the right thing to do!

Ultimately, that area hadn't been visited for a long time; it was an unofficial passage, and no one had been assigned to maintain or manage it.

Under the rules of a peaceful universe, survival resources will indeed appear out of thin air, defying the law of conservation of matter, and people simply don't care if neighbors move in together.

They won't send heavy troops to guard the boundaries of the universe. At most, they'll send someone to check every tens of thousands of years to see if the neighboring universe is alright and if anything has gone wrong. If everything is normal, everyone will continue living their own lives.

This has resulted in information about the area being either vague or outdated.
