Chapter 370: Looking at the Night Sky

Inside the library.

Ye Bei left the seat. He put his hands on his back and stood in front of one of the huge French windows.

His white figure, even in complete darkness, still revealed extraordinariness.

Those deep eyes directly penetrated layers of clouds and layers of obstacles and was quietly observing the vast and endless starry sky.

Wang An was bending over slightly and standing behind Ye Bei respectfully.

After being busy for five consecutive days, the wrinkles on his face had increased a lot.

Although there was a tiredness in his eyes, his mental state was still very good.

Ye Bei used a method to increase Wang An's lifespan, and it seemed that it would not be exhausted soon.

The library was unusually quiet.

It was not known how long it took, but Ye Bei, who had been looking at the starry sky, moved his mouth slightly, and then a faint voice came, "Little An, you have a long lifespan compared to a real layman. But what do you know about this starry sky?"

Wang An, who was in a trance, was slightly startled when he heard this.

But soon, he recovered.

"Master, in the past few years, when this old servant had nothing to do, he has indeed often looked at the starry sky. But to say that I understand it, it is not that accurate because most of my understandings come from the wisdom of the predecessors and is not worth mention." Wang An said cautiously and did not show off some things he knew in front of Ye Bei.

He knew very clearly that the so-called wisdom of the predecessors that he saw was just a word that Ye Bei said at random.

"I do not know either." However, just as Wang An was waiting for Ye Bei to say something, Ye Bei spoke again flatly.

"Master, if you don't even know, then no one in the whole world knows." Wang An shook his head, but there was still a lot of expectation in his eyes, he wanted to hear Ye Bei's insights on the starry sky.

As for Ye Bei, after thinking for a few seconds, he spoke again.

"Regarding the starry sky, every age has a different character. In this technology-based age, every planet is composed of matter. The stars in the entire universe are burning, glowing stars, and they don't have many life forms. But in the age of mythology, every planet is managed by its own lord. In the age of the ancients, the so-called planets are nothing but the death of those powerful people and the cells in their bodies that were transformed after that." Ye Bei said.

"This..." Wang An opened his mouth slightly and his face was shocked. If someone else said something like this, he would definitely sneer, because it was too unbelievable, but since it was from Ye Bei's mouth, the situation was completely different.

"Master, you are so knowledgeable. So in the endless years, have you ever been to those planets yourself?" After calming down, Wang An asked again. His eyes kept staring at the vast starry sky at the same time.

Ye Bei nodded gently, "In the age of mythology, I have been to the Moon Palace."

Wang An was startled, "The legendary Goddess of Moon, Chang'e really exists?"

"Well, it existed." Ye Bei said lightly, and deep in his mind, a picture of a white dress standing under the laurel tree dancing lightly appeared. Next to her, there was a white rabbit looking over there.

Wang An took a deep breath, "With the rapid progress of this era, the United States announced that it had landed on the moon not long ago, and it has also posted many pictures of the moon on the Internet. It is a desolate place with a temperature difference between day and night. It's huge, but without any living beings. It's hard to imagine that in the age of mythology, there were people living on it."

"At the beginning, after the end of the mythical age, all the gods disappeared. Then coupled with the erosion of the years, the Moon Palace became ruins, so this is normal." Ye Bei said casually.

But as he said this, the air in the library exuded a sad atmosphere unconsciously.

Time was really a terrible thing!

Even with that kind of terrible existence, it still could not do anything to Ye Bei… Even as if forgetting Ye Bei at that...

"There is no trace of the existence of the age of mythology. More talks are shown in stories compiled by later generations. However, at the end of the age of mythology and the age of dinosaurs, there should have been another civilization in human history. For example, the stalwart Pyramid. It is said to be created five thousand years ago, but people in that era did not have that power yet." Wang An felt the sadness in the air and said this. At the same time, he moved his gaze away from the starry sky and then placed it on Ye Bei's body.

The moonlight was like silver as it penetrated the clouds and sprinkled from high above.

The silver-white moonlight penetrated the French windows of the library, and scattered on Ye Bei's black hair and long robe, leaving a long shadow behind him.

As Wang An watched, he just felt that Ye Bei now seemed a little different from before… it was just that he did not know what the difference was.

"There are some things that you shouldn't know. So it's better not to know." Ye Bei's eyes gradually withdrew from the starry sky, and lightly glanced at Wang An, "You should've already guessed something. Regarding the so-called history books, myths and legends, a large part of them are indeed deliberately done... however, that is just a form of entertainment."

"Yes." Wang An nodded. But he then lifted his head unconsciously and looked into the sky again.

Although his lifespan was running out, it had never been like this moment that he was full of interest in the vast starry sky and even wanted to travel around the starry sky at any cost, even if it was worth looking at the ruins of the ancient era.

Time flew by without waiting for anyone.

But... this night, the feeling of fatigue was too strong.

Wang An stood for a while, and after watching for a while, he felt that his spirit was getting more and more sluggish, and finally, he sat in front of a desk and fell asleep unconsciously.

Fortunately, there were thermostats installed in the library to ensure that the books would not get damp, so sleeping in this environment did not feel too cold.

Although Wang An fell asleep, Ye Bei was still standing in front of the French window.

He ignored the deep night, slightly raised his head, and watched the white moon quietly.

His body did not move at all from start to finish.

Over time, his eyes were extremely deep, some memories hidden deep in his heart, little by little, began to emerge. Above the Moon Palace, the woman in the white dress seemed to be back in front of him as if he could touch her as long as he reached out his hand.

But when his hand was really stretched out, everything had disappeared with the passage of time.

Only a piece of illusion remained.
