Chapter 402: First Exploration of the Plate-shaped World
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sky had just turned bright.
Many small spaceships returned to the Daxia Kingdom from all over the world.
Teams of ordinary people alighted from small spaceships one after another and quickly gathered towards the spaceships of the various countries.
Currently, the average temperature on the blue planet during the day had risen to 70 degrees Celsius. This was a truly high-temperature environment. Other than warriors, the teams composed of ordinary people could only leave the spaceship during the day if they wore protective clothing.
The goal of these teams was to retrieve their valuables that could not be taken with them in time when they were in a hurry to evacuate. However, if they used protective clothing during the search, the cost would not be proportional to the gains. Of course, it was impossible for them to distribute the precious protective clothing to every ordinary person.
!!
Therefore, the teams of ordinary people were mostly active at night, from close to midnight to the next day when the sun first started to rise. During this time, the average temperature would drop below 40 degrees.
“Annie, your backpack is so full. It seems like you’ve collected a lot!”
A golden-haired man quickened his pace and arrived beside an orange-haired woman. He chatted with her as he jogged over.
“William, one of us is in the south and the other is in the north of the residential area we’ve been assigned to. There’s too much distance between us.”
Annie rolled her eyes at William and continued jogging.
“How can it be too far? There’s a maglev train on the spaceship that goes around all the residential areas. We can move together tomorrow night.”
William continued shamelessly.
“That’s a pity. I already have the last batch of items I planned to take from my original house in my backpack. I won’t be going out with the small spacecraft anymore.”
Annie refused politely.
There were too many uncertain factors in her future. Facing William’s obvious pursuit, she rejected him without hesitation, unwilling to be a temporary girlfriend.
A temporary girlfriend. That’s right. In this era, when men and women got together, there was a high chance that they would vent their frustration, uneasiness, and so on, on each other.
This was because everyone knew that the space plan was already nearing completion. In the face of the doomsday environment on the blue planet, the human spaceships would take off at any moment.
Humans were about to board the spaceships and travel in space to a new planet. This was very unfamiliar to everyone, so they would naturally feel insecure.
At this moment, unlike many ordinary people who had returned to the spaceship,
as the cabin doors opened in all four directions, burly men walked out of the cabin doors chatting and laughing. They were either barefoot or in wooden shoes.
Each of these burly men was a warrior. By relying on their internal force, they could withstand the high temperature and move around during the day without any protection.
Due to the fact that all of humanity had migrated in a hurry, the valuable items of the various organizations from the various countries were left behind and had to be brought back by small teams of warriors. They took the small spaceships to various parts of the world for this.
Almost all the important infrastructure such as the research laboratories, high-tech factories, key universities, and so on that were once located all over the world had been broken up and transferred into spaceships in batches to be reassembled.
At the moment, not only was the space plan still progressing in an orderly manner, but various industries were also gradually building up within the spacecraft, forming a circle within them.
The communication between the spaceships of the various countries was mainly led by the officials of the various countries. After all, it had only been a few days since the migration, and the humans around the world were still far from being able to settle down properly.
…
In the dark forest world.
When Chen Yiming stepped onto the ground again, he was surprised to find that the huge mushroom had completely disappeared from sight.
“Super perception.”
He entered a super perceptive state and walked on the silent wetlands.
Soon, Chen Yiming confirmed that the dark forest world had really become a dead world.
The remaining creatures who had been forced into a deep sleep and fed nightmares to harvest the negative emotions had all died suddenly and turned into corpses. There were no exceptions.
“Could it be that something happened in this world while I was fighting the devouring demon?”
However, no one could answer his question.
The doomsday environment on the blue planet forced humans to keep their forces within the spaceships. The reconnaissance power left in the outside world was greatly reduced compared to the past.
Moreover, this was a huge change that involved the entire world. If the dire wolves’ leader dared to investigate further, there was a high chance that it would not be able to return, let alone anyone else.
Such superficial information also wouldn’t be of much use to Chen Yiming.
Not long after,
Chen Yiming relied on the space anchor to perform a space-jump and quietly explored the entire dark forest world.
Soon, he confirmed that the power that the black tide had left in the small world had entered a dormant stage. It was gathered at a total of four locations, and they were all deep underground.
Three of the locations were where the foundation bases of the formation were located, and a large number of dark creatures were gathered around them.
The last location was where the core of the world used to be. The complete war weapon and the huge mushroom were also there.
The large mushroom seemed to have replaced the core of the world. It was deeply rooted in a special spot, and a gray fog gradually spread out along the soil.
“The black tide’s position in the dark forest world has already changed greatly. It’s no longer harvesting the negative emotions of living creatures, but something else.”
Chen Yiming summarized what he had seen and felt the changes clearly.
At the moment,it was hard to say whether this change was good or bad, but it was definitely good for the humans. It had given them more time to prepare. Perhaps the black tide had tacitly agreed to let the humans escape?
However, he could not be completely sure at the moment. After all, according to the female spirit, the blue planet was only a small part of it. The black tide had set up the final blockade around the entire solar system.
He had no idea what had happened to the terrifying creatures who had broken through the encirclement first, and he did not have the energy to find them.
At this thought, Chen Yiming suddenly snapped out of his daze. He muttered, “If it’s just a failure on the blue planet, it’s impossible for it to affect the dark forest world!”
“I only took away one of the foundation bases. With the remaining three foundation bases, the dark forest world can still operate normally.”
He paced back and forth and thought for a while. He muttered to himself, “The disruption of the progress of the black tide on the blue planet should be only part of the reason.”
“It’s very likely that in this galaxy, something is wrong in the other worlds, and it’s not a small problem. It caused a chain reaction, causing a general change in the plan for the black tide’s invasion.”
After connecting all the clues, Chen Yiming vaguely grasped the general direction of the change. More ideas surfaced in his mind.
This time, it was not only to stir up trouble for the black tide, but also to stall for time while thinking of ways to obtain more benefits.
It would be best if he could accumulate a lot of resources before the human spaceships started on their journey in space. The humans could also upgrade their equipment and leave with the spoils of war.
…
Not long after.
Chen Yiming randomly found a space-travel passage at the bottom of the dark forest world. He entered the space-travel passage and returned to the blue planet. The passage connected to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Then, he entered the space-travel passage again and returned. He entered the super perceptive state and carefully checked the surrounding 100 kilometers of sea to ensure that he would not be discovered.
“The three glowing balls in the sky are similar to the moon. They are the three blockades that seal off the dark forest world.”
“The nearest blockade created an invisible barrier that wrapped around the entire dark forest world, causing one to be unable to see the situation outside the world.”
“Hundreds of years have passed. When the dire wolves’ leader participated in breaking through the blockade, there was no such barrier. I wonder how many layers there are. Could there be one layer for each of the three blockades?”
Chen Yiming decided to throw out the space anchor to check it out.
However, if that invisible barrier involved the sealing of space, it was unknown what kind of changes would occur if the space-travel barrier was broken by the space anchor.
He planned to turn around and enter the space-travel passage to return to the blue planet in case he alerted the existence at the blockade. After a while, when the commotion subsided, he would quietly return.
He should keep a low profile. Chen Yiming wouldn’t be rash and fight head-on just because of the pride of the strong or anything like that.
Soon, after thinking it through, “Buzz!”
Chen Yiming entered the super perceptive state, and a faint ripple spread out. The world turned slightly gray and transparent. Then, the ripple passed through the invisible barrier in the sky.
“Go!”
He controlled the space anchor in his body and threw it at the nearest barrier.
The space anchor flew very quickly and did not travel in the physical space, allowing it to cover the distance between him and the barrier in an instant.
The next moment.
“Clang!”
Using his super perception, he sensed that the space anchor had caused a ripple in space at the spot where it had landed. After the space anchor pierced through the invisible barrier, it rushed out of the range of the first blockade.
At the same time, a will was awakened.
One of the glowing balls corresponding to the first blockade, and an eye suddenly appeared on it.
Three small balls appeared in the eye which were connected to each other. Black blood vessels bulged at the edges, and the energy fluctuations became intense.
Then, it turned around and seemed to be investigating what had happened in the dark forest world.
“Are its functions mainly for surveillance and investigation?”
The moment the will was alerted, Chen Yiming glanced at it and turned to enter the space-travel passage. He didn’t even have time to check the images sent back from the space anchor that had broken out of the barrier.
…
Another day passed by.
Compared to the day before, the number of ordinary people leaving the spaceship had clearly decreased. After a few rounds, the valuables that were left behind had mostly been retrieved.
On the other hand, the number of warriors who left the spaceship did not change, but their goal had changed drastically. Their destination had become the trial grounds of Jiangnan province.
The special 10,000-meter-long corpse was essentially at the level of the fusion realm. Since the flame dragons representing the will of the sun came towards the blue planet, it would naturally be expected to be burned to ashes.
However, it was only slightly affected. Other than changing the cold environment of the trial grounds, nothing else had changed. Entering the trial grounds was still very effective.
To the martial artists from countries other than the Daxia Kingdom, this was good news that they had not received in a long time.
Before the spaceship set off, the trial grounds was completely open to all humans. Anyone could enter without any restrictions.
At this moment, Chen Yiming and the leader of the dire wolves were standing at the top of a mountain.
“Let the wolf cubs enter the space-travel passage every once in a while to investigate the situation? Alright, I understand.”
The leader of the dire wolves nodded respectfully.
“If a phenomenon at the level of the world appears, contact my spiritual clone. At that time, I will naturally know about it.”
Chen Yiming thought for a moment and added.
There were no suitable candidates among the humans for this dangerous job that required them to be familiar with the dark forest world. On the other hand, the dire wolves would be suitable for this.
Other than relying on humans, the dire wolves had no other way out. Therefore, Chen Yiming felt more at ease. Furthermore, the spiritual figure could be stationed at a safe spot, so there was no chance of failure.
If anything happened on the blue planet, his main body could instantly teleport back.
Soon, Chen Yiming left.
After waiting for a few minutes, the dire wolves’ leader heaved a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Chen is indeed unfathomable. Although I don’t know where he will go, perhaps he is clearing out the hidden dangers in the solar system in advance, or maybe he is rushing out of the solar system to scout the way.”
“However, with just a spiritual clone, he is confident that he can hold down the fort on the blue planet and not be afraid of any unforeseen circumstances. The dire wolves have indeed chosen the right person to rely on.”
It was easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Recently, the dire wolves’ leader had been able to get rid of the heavy burden weighing it down, and its cultivation condition had improved.
The reason was that whatever Chen Yiming couldn’t handle, no matter how the dire wolves struggled, it would be useless. They just had to be realistic and do what they were told to do.
…
After a while, Chen Yiming returned to the dark forest world.
After a day, the will in the sky had already disappeared, and the world returned to a dead silence. This was a world where almost no life existed.
“Super perception.”
Chen Yiming entered a super perceptive state.
The landing point of the space anchor was just at the edge of the range of his super perception. At this moment, he could see a little of the situation outside this world.
A continent was floating in the air. It looked like a plate, which was completely different from the blue planet and the dark forest world.
He could not see anything else clearly, but he could vaguely sense that the continent was not peaceful.
Seeing this, Chen Yiming was delighted. “I just disrupted the arrangements of the black tide on the blue planet. I didn’t expect that there would really be a problem in the other worlds around the dark forest world.”
No matter what happened in that plate-shaped world, whether it gathered enough strength to break out of the encirclement or if some creature broke through to the level of the demon god and the devouring demon and launched a counterattack against the black tide that had occupied the world,
as long as it got chaotic, it would coincide with Chen Yiming’s plan.
“Let’s go.”
After figuring it out, Chen Yiming disappeared from his spot and teleported to the space anchor.
The space outside the barrier was very large. His insignificant figure could only be detected if he touched an invisible barrier or stayed there for a long time, or if the will that was in charge of monitoring the situation woke up.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to be noticed immediately. It would not be difficult to remain hidden.
Chen Yiming quickly observed the surrounding void and realized that he was in the middle of the other two glowing balls, between the second and third blockade.
Furthermore, he was lucky that there was only one layer of the invisible barrier. It was not three layers as he had expected.
In addition, other than the plate-shaped continent, there were three other worlds that could be seen in the distance.
They were a sphere-shaped water world, a circular world, and a tree-shaped world. Including the dark forest world, the five worlds were positioned to form a pentagon, and each of them was located in a corner of the shape.
“The other three worlds are as silent as the dark forest world.”
Soon, Chen Yiming retracted his gaze and tried his best to minimize the possibility of being exposed. He then controlled the space anchor and threw it at the plate-shaped continent, then quickly made a space-jump.
Tiny spatial fluctuations spread out in the air one after another. If one wanted to see and discover them, they would have to be at a close distance to be able to do so unless they were sensitive to spatial fluctuations.
The subtle spatial fluctuations only lasted for a short period of time. In a few seconds, it returned to its original state without leaving any traces.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”
A few minutes after Chen Yiming left, a spatial ripple was released from the glowing ball at the first blockade.
A few minutes later, it swept its gaze across the area where Chen Yiming had been.
However, nothing was detected, and nothing abnormal seemed to have happened. The traces of the previous spatial fluctuations had already disappeared, and the void had completely returned to a stable state.
The space-detection ripples spread along a fixed track and disappeared after reaching their limit. The cycle lasted for 10 minutes. This was a test targeted towards the abnormalities detected the previous day.
However, the difference between a 10-minute cycle and a few seconds was too great. Unless Chen Yiming was extremely unlucky, he wouldn’t be detected by it.
…
With a thought, Chen Yiming’s coordinates in the air changed continuously.
The distance covered each time was 1,000 times that of the maximum range of his spiritual power. This made the distance in space, which was measured in light years, no longer feel that far.
Soon, after crossing most of the solar system, Chen Yiming arrived near the plate-shaped world.
“It’s almost exactly as I expected.”
As soon as he appeared in the air, Chen Yiming saw a fierce battle erupting. A shocking roar shook the world, and spiritual fluctuations continued to spread through the air.
Inside the plate-shaped world, there were giant dragons circling the sky. In the space outside the world, hundreds of dark creatures were secretly monitoring the world.
However, a red light suddenly soared into the sky.
The red light vaguely transformed into the shape of a dragon. It had eyes that emitted anger, and a long flaming tail. Wherever it passed, a large number of cracks appeared in the air.
Then, the red light started to chase after the dark creatures. Its lethality was indescribably terrifying, and one would die if they touched it.
From the aura of these dark creatures, Chen Yiming deduced that they were all at the level of the fusion realm. In other words, they had Undying Marks, and they wouldn’t die so easily.
However, at this moment, the Undying Marks seemed to have lost its effect. As long as they were hit by the sparks, they were burned to ashes.
That’s right, other than the spatial cracks, nothing else was left behind at the spot where the dark creatures had been burned to death.
