The universe has countless time and spatial points, tens of thousands of them, and they are unimaginable, huge, and unpredictable. Some scientists once claimed that the universe is made up of small boxes; one box is covered over another box, and there are countless and endless more boxes in that box.
You could also create a box with your hands, such as drawing a picture, writing an article, making an animation, or making a movie. But you would not know whether your works would form a small world in a certain space and time, with the characters and backgrounds you created becoming the reality in that small world.
In this way, the people in the box created more boxes in the box. You could not know whether there would be more worlds outside your world, spanning countless spatial points and time points in a higher dimension or realm than you would never be able to reach even if you jump out of the stars, across the galaxy, or even return to the past or future.
But you are still in this world, and you cannot leap into another world.
However, let’s make an assumption.
If it just so happened that one day, you broke out of this limitation, got out of the circle, got rid of the restriction of boxes and ignored the laws of nature! You started to feel free and unrestrained. You were free to cross over space and time. You could go anywhere you imagined, anywhere you have seen. Your mind was no longer bound. Your soul was allowed to fly around wildly, and you became surprisingly crazy.
But you suddenly felt bored again.
Because when you ran forward crazily, when you were able to jump out of the universe freely, you found that you were unable to be accepted by any universe or any box. You had no place you could belong to, and you could only wander around just like a ghost in the wilderness.
You were lonely and flustered. Because you stayed in the dark all the time, you began to worry incessantly. No matter where you went, your shadows or your footprints could never be seen. You could exist in different worlds at the same time, but you seemed to disappear completely in each world.
There were no traces of your presence anywhere you went.
Ah! In that case.
Why don’t you create a world where only you existed, you controlled the world, and you could freely stipulate the rules and laws of the world; you put in water, you put in plants, you put in air, you let life go on, you turned back time, and soon after, you became the world’s—
God.
Red…… grass?
Luo Jian opened his eyes and found himself lying on a patch of grass. In front of him was a blade of grass that was as red as blood. He stared at the blade of grass for a very long time, until his eyes had almost stiffened up. Then he tried to move his body but soon found that his body had stiffened up.
What was going on?
Luo Jian blinked his eyes reluctantly. He realized that he was lying on the ground. He could hardly move his body. The only thing he could control was his breathing and his eyelids. Because his head could not move, his sight was set on a small piece of land. There were only a few dying weeds growing in the hard soil.
For a while, Luo Jian did not understand what had happened. His memory was full of blanks, some parts were lost, and he could not connect some events that had happened. Sometimes, he felt that he was still sleeping in his uncle’s old home. At that time, he went to find his parents whom he had not seen for many years for some reasons…… What was the reason?
Oh right, what about Ah Lan? What about Feng YuLan?
Luo Jian felt that he had seen his best friend, who had been with him from his childhood to his adulthood, but when did he see him? At this moment, Luo Jian could not remember that because his body was extremely stiff. He wanted to use a little strength, but his body seemed to be dead, and his limbs were numb.
Because even his mouth was numb, he could not even open his mouth to utter a sound.
Luo Jian could only lie there. He opened his eyes and looked at that blade of grass, which appeared golden due to the sunlight splattered on it. He thought that it should be dusk now. Only during dusk would the sunlight look so bloody red.
Luo Jian did not know if anyone would find him here. He might be lying on some grass in the wild because he did not hear people talking nearby. It was so quiet that even the sound of insects and birds seemed miniscule.
Luo Jian could only lie down while waiting silently, hoping that the feeling in his limbs would return a little sooner.
After a while, Luo Jian closed his eyes. For a moment, he seemed to have lost consciousness. Shortly after that, he fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still lying on the soil, and his body was still stiff and unable to move.
What was going on? How long had it been?
Luo Jian did not know how long he had been sleeping, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the grass shining under the bloody red light. This showed that the time had remained stagnant. It was still dusk now.
How strange. Why was that so? Luo Jian clearly felt that he had been sleeping for a long time. He thought it would be dark when he woke up. Or was it a misconception made by his consciousness?
However, as time went by, the red blade of grass in front of Luo Jian was still red, and the blood red light still relentingly shone on it, and there were almost zero changes in the light and shadow. After waiting for a long time, Luo Jian suddenly realized that…… No, rather, it should be that he suddenly discovered something terrifying.
In this strange place, it would always be at dusk, and there would be almost no changes in the weather. At least, judging from Luo Jian’s intuitive feeling, it was always dusk all the time.
Was there such a place in the world that was always at dusk?
Luo Jian thought instinctively. His confused brain could hardly remind him of anything meaningful, and his weak body could not support movements. Luo Jian could only lie down on the spot helplessly as he waited for someone to spot him, to compassionately help him up.
However, Luo Jian remained in the lying position for a very long time. He did not know how long it had been. He just felt that his stomach was very hungry, and his mouth was dry. Hunger and thirst tormented his nerves and stomach. He knew he needed water; he needed to drink water!
Human beings could live for a week without eating, but they could not live for three days without drinking water.
But poor Luo Jian tried for a long time and still could not move himself at all…… He could not even move a finger.
Heavens! I’m not going to die of thirst, am I?
Luo Jian miserably quipped inwardly. As his fear began to gradually grow, the surroundings remained quiet while the sound of birds singing became softer and softer. He could hardly hear anything. This place was too quiet; it was so quiet he felt something was wrong.
Will I die here?
Luo Jian was lying on the ground as he thought about this. After deliberating about it for a long time, he found that the blade of red grass was still in front of him. It seemed that the grass was going to die soon, but yet, it felt that it stubbornly and staunchly remained there.
At this moment, Luo Jian suddenly heard a new sound! A new sound resounded in this quiet world! Luo Jian also quickly recognized that it was the sound of footsteps, a sound made by something stepping on the ground!
But the creature walked very slowly and carefully, which was why his footsteps sounded very soft. It walked slowly and took its time. Because Luo Jian had been lying here for too long and was not able to move or see anything, his senses were all concentrated on his ears. Moreover, half his face was turned to the ground while his ear was also stuck on the ground. Otherwise, Luo Jian may not have heard this quiet footstep.
Something was coming. Luo Jian heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. As he listened, he suddenly realized that it was not the sound of human footsteps; it was more like the footsteps of some kind of beast…… Something like a wolf…… In any case, it was some creatures walking on four legs. And it was walking very slowly and slowly approaching Luo Jian.
Luo Jian inwardly felt a bad premonition, and this premonition soon came true; the creature came to Luo Jian’s side. Luo Jian could not see him because he was lying on his back. His face was to the side, and with one side of his face on the ground, his line of sight was somewhat narrowed.
He knew that creature was very huge because Luo Jian can see the shadow covering his body and feel the heat emanating from this creature and its slightly heavy breath. It seemed to be observing Luo Jian’s state to determine whether he was alive or dead.
Luo Jian was nervous and felt his heart beat, disorderly and erratically.
Shortly after, the creature seemed to stretch out its claws and press them against Luo Jian’s back. Although Luo Jian could not move, his senses were very sharp. He felt that it was a furry claw. The fur of it was very soft, but the claw was also very sharp. The press of its claws on Luo Jian’s back made his back a little cold.
The creature seemed to be testing him with his claws. It patted its claws on his back. This kind of behavior seemed ridiculous, but for some reason, he felt that something would happen, something horrifying.
indeed! The strange creature seemed to feel that Luo Jian was not a threat to it. Luo Jian felt that it seemed to lower its head because he could more clearly feel the other party’s harsh breath and the rumbling sound, which sounded out from its throat and only wild animals made, and he started to break out into cold sweat! He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder!
What the f*ck! The beast is biting me!
Inwardly, Luo Jian was scared out of his wits. He tried to urge himself to quickly react, but his body was not reacting and would not obey his orders at all. No matter how loudly he was screaming in his heart, his body was not able to respond; even the severe pain could not urge Luo Jian to move.
What scared Luo Jian the most was what was going to occur next!
This terrifying creature did not seem to be just biting Luo Jian. It was eating him!
Luo Jian could feel the pain clearly. The beast bit on his shoulder and tore off a large chunk of his flesh. Luo Jian could hear the sound of the beast chewing on his shoulder, and this terrified him, causing him to feel a bout of dizziness.
Will I be eaten alive?!
Luo Jian could not imagine that. He wanted to scream, but his body was so weak that he was unable to open his mouth!
At this time, the beast seemed to be uninterested in the flesh located on Luo Jian’s thin arm. It held out its claws, pressed Luo Jian down, and turned him over entirely first. Luo Jian was unable to move, so he flipped over unwittingly. At this time, he could finally see this strange world with his face up to the sky.
