Chapter 1257 - 709: Going Home
Chapter 1257: Chapter 709: Going Home
At that moment, Su Yu felt an inexplicable transformation occur in his body, energy, thoughts, and will.
It was as if he had changed from something false to something real, from an illusion to a solid form. No, the transformation was even more intense than that.
Like an ordinary person suddenly growing powerful enough to destroy the Infinite Universe, such was the intensity of the change.
And even more intense than that.
This change was so intense that it was almost indescribable and immeasurable with words.
This was a supreme transformation that transcended the Narrative Layer. Su Yu was like a character from a story stepping into reality—what an intense change was that?
Su Yu’s previous Space-Time Transcender ability, which allowed him to transcend space and time, gave him a similar feeling, but wasn’t even one-tenth of what he felt now.
After all, the Space-Time Transcender could only transcend space and time, whereas Su Yu, at this moment, transcended the Narrative Layer, a comparison simply couldn’t be made.
Soon, the transformation ended.
Su Yu suddenly realized he had his eyes closed and hurriedly opened them.
And then he saw himself in pajamas lying on a bed, seeming to have just woken up from a nap.
"Is this the so-called upper Narrative Layer?"
Su Yu looked around the environment and felt it was quite ordinary—a normal room without anything special.
The room had a bed, table and chairs, wardrobe, a computer, and...
Various seemingly mundane items, none of them possessed any Spiritual Energy.
Su Yu glanced and then ignored them.
But in the next instant, Su Yu was suddenly startled because he realized the surroundings were very familiar.
Familiar to the point that at first glance, they seemed insignificant.
This place... is his home!
To be accurate, it’s the home he had before he traveled to Azure Star.
"I’ve actually come home..."
Su Yu’s gaze showed some disbelief.
On one hand, he was surprised by the surroundings.
On the other, he was surprised he had almost forgotten about his own home.
After traveling, he had experienced so much for so long.
Especially when he spent billions of years alone in the Primordial Universe, he possessed vast memories like a massive sea of smoke.
Memories from before he traveled were just a tiny, negligible part for him now.
These dust-laden memories, he thought he’d never recall.
So upon seeing the surroundings, he didn’t immediately recognize them as his home.
But in just a moment, he reacted.
Realizing he had returned home, Su Yu was instantly elated, but it then turned to suspicion.
Is this really his home?
Why, after transcending the Narrative Layer, had he appeared here?
Moreover...
"My power..."
Su Yu felt his power was weaker than ever before.
Originally, his strength in the lower Narrative Layer could destroy countless universes.
But here, his power was vague, merely a faint stream within him, unable to reach even the standard of a First-Order Spirit Ability User, unable to be released or affect the outside world.
Various Spiritual Powers also seemed difficult to invoke.
At this moment, Su Yu’s power was weaker than ever, essentially devoid of any Extraordinary Ability.
Su Yu even doubted for a moment whether everything he experienced before was just a dream.
No travel, no Spiritual Energy, no profession, everything was just a Dream Realm for him.
Thinking about this made all previous memories somewhat blurry and began to fade.
Like waking from a great dream, everything in the Dream Realm was rapidly forgotten, and everything in reality became increasingly real.
Su Yu was now in this state.
All his past experiences in the Primordial Universe, every thrilling life-and-death encounter, were like phantoms in the Dream Realm.
Only the bed beside him, his own body, and heartbeat were real.
Thinking for a while, the suspicion in Su Yu’s heart slowly disappeared, and everything around him became more familiar and dear.
He got off the bed, put on slippers, and walked to the door of the room.
He held the handle, faintly hearing voices outside the door, and the aroma of food wafting in.
"..."
Su Yu knew that outside were his family, his wife making breakfast.
A strong impulse suddenly surged in Su Yu’s heart, wanting to open the door, rush out, and embrace that person, reuniting with his family.
The more he thought about it, the clearer his memories became in his consciousness. The past moments with his wife, the happiness in their lives, all came to mind.
Also, his parents seemed to be coming at noon to celebrate his birthday and were urging him to have a child soon...
As well as university classmates, colleagues, friends from work—all of whom were coming today to enjoy the occasion.
Compared to these things, everything experienced in the dream, like Azure Star, the Spiritual Power Extraordinary, profession, Primordial Universe... they were just idle fantasies, trivial.
The hand with which Su Yu held the doorknob trembled slightly, but he did not turn it to open the door.
Gradually, Su Yu heard the calling from outside, it was his wife asking him to come out for breakfast.
Listening to that gentle voice, Su Yu smiled slightly and murmured, "Dream Ending? Quite a credible fabrication!"
At this moment, Su Yu’s gaze was cold.
Clearly, he had been tricked.
An unknown presence took advantage of his weakness right after transcending the Narrative Layer, tricked him, and wrote a "Dream Ending" for him.
This "ending" means everything before was a fantasy, no travel, no Extraordinary Ability—he was just an ordinary young man, with his wife, parents, and friends waiting for him...
Honestly speaking, the timing was well chosen.
Su Yu was incredibly weak at this time, with almost no difference in power from an ordinary person, greatly reducing his ability to resist various forces.
Moreover, this "Dream Ending" combined with his experiences before traveling, struck a chord in his heart.
Having traveled to a strange otherworld for so long, Su Yu naturally had thoughts of returning, although he didn’t insist.
Now suddenly back home, this idea was incredibly strong, with emotions suppressed for billions of years surging forth.
Thus, Su Yu almost opened the door in an instant.
If he went out, he would be completely immersed in this "ending," living and then dying as an ordinary person.
With Su Yu’s incredibly weak power at this time, he was practically unable to resist.
But Su Yu still saw through it and didn’t go out.
On one hand, because this "ending" was not fabricated well enough.
The voices outside, along with the impulses and memories evoked in his heart, could indeed stir Su Yu’s feelings but were guided as an "audience" and not from the "protagonist’s" perspective.
"Can’t immerse myself, after all... Where would I get a wife..."
