Zheng Ya piloted Xingwang II out of the void tens of thousands of miles from the moon, only to encounter a spacetime barrier and fall into crisis.
On the command platform of the Xingwang, Xu Qi and the others saw Zheng Ya's Xingwang II crash into a thin, indistinct membrane, which dented forward as if it were about to devour Xingwang II.
Danger! Xu Qi jolted awake, nearly dropping her daughter from her arms. This startled Zheng Wang, who burst into tears. Xu Qi, unable to comfort the child, cried out anxiously, "Honey, danger! Come back quickly..."
"You brat, get back here right now..." Fu Qingyao shouted, jumping up and down. The Ouyang sisters covered their mouths and exclaimed, "Ah, Principal, watch out..."
"Dig up the grass, you have no martial ethics..." Zheng Ya heard their warning, but before he could respond, he was shocked and began to maneuver the Prosperous No. 2 in a great detour.
The Tower of Babel pattern shimmering on his forehead conveys a choice: whether to return to the Qian Yuan Continent.
Zheng Ya knew nothing about the situation or the setup.
The key issue is that he cannot leave now. Zheng Ya is wary of enemies on the Qian Yuan Continent, so he decides to develop three kinds of supernatural spiritual arts and then return to the Qian Yuan Continent after settling his family.
Zheng Ya resolutely refused, and the Tower of Babel Imprint immediately responded: "The people of the Tower of Babel have violated the rules of the Tower of Babel and are attempting to escape the Qian Yuan Continent and break free from the monitoring of the Tower of Babel Imprint."
Considering it was his first offense, he was not treated as a deserter.
A slight punishment, deducting one billion of psionic energy as a warning?
"Damn it, no sportsmanship at all! Can someone tell me what happened?" Zheng Ya piloted the Prosperity II back to the safe void, hovering in the air, filled with frustration.
After deducting one billion points of psionic energy, only a little over eight thousand points of psionic energy remain. Is this a complete wipeout?
Xu Qi and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was out of danger. They then came to their senses and comforted the child, taking a moment to ask, "Master, what happened?"
"Yeah, you brat, how could a barrier like a thin membrane appear in the void? It almost swallowed you up. What was that?" Fu Qingyao asked, still shaken.
The Ouyang sisters nodded repeatedly. Zheng Ya, annoyed by the fact that the Tower of Babel mark had deducted one billion spiritual energy, glanced at the four people on the command screen and said irritably, "How would I know about the restrictions in the rules of my hometown?"
"Ah, you mean the rules of the Qian Yuan Continent?" Xu Qi asked in surprise, while Fu Qingyao was completely confused: "What Qian Yuan Continent?"
"Mom, please don't ask anymore. I'll explain the details later."
The most urgent task is to resolve the crisis. We don't even know if it has harmed the leader yet. Speak up!" Xu Qi stared at Zheng Ya's pale face on the command screen and asked with concern.
Zheng Ya recovered and said with a wry smile, "I understand now!"
The time difference between heaven and earth—a day in heaven is a year on earth—is that what's waiting for?
"Uh, sir, what are you talking about?" Xu Qi replied thoughtfully, trying to ease Zheng Ya's anger.
Fu Qingyao and the others rationally restrained themselves from pressing for answers and waited to see what would happen. Zheng Ya took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions and, after sorting out some of the rules of the Qian Yuan Continent, he finally spoke to explain: "A hundred years to reach the Heavenly Realm, ten days to reach the Heavenly Realm!"
This is the rule for the Tower of Babel to transport natives to various worlds in the starry sky.
I hadn't grasped the nature of this rule before.
Now I understand everything!
The so-called ten days corresponding to a hundred years of interdimensional cultivation time difference is nothing more than the accelerated operation of a certain region of a planet.
"If someone attempts to cross this accelerated time zone during their training, they will be executed as a deserter?"
"Uh, according to you, a hundred years here is equivalent to ten days on the Qian Yuan Continent, right?" Xu Qi understood something, but was still ambiguous and unsure.
Fu Qingyao and the others were completely baffled.
Zheng Ya nodded slightly and piloted the Prosperity II back: "Theoretically, that's how it is."
I don't know the actual situation either.
"If that's the case, wouldn't everyone on the Qian Yuan Continent be like a dragon, incredibly strong?"
"If you're not strong enough, you can cross ten realms through the Tower of Babel and become stronger after a hundred years of cultivation?" Xu Qi was shocked and could hardly contain himself under such power.
Zheng Ya shook his head and sighed: "There's no such thing as a free lunch."
While the theory is roughly the same as you guessed, the higher one's level of supernatural ability, the higher the level of cultivation world one can enter, and the more expensive the entrance fee becomes.
In other words, some powerful being controls the Tower of Babel to help people cross realms to cultivate, and manipulates a time zone to accelerate its operation. The higher the level of the corresponding world, the greater the consumption.
So everything in this world boils down to self-interest; no one gets up early without a reason.
The fact that it's impossible for one side to make the sacrifice means that the higher the level of crossing realms, the greater the consumption and the greater the benefit.
In short, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
"If that's the case, will you also have to pay a price for telling us the rules and inside information of the Qian Yuan Continent?" Xu Qi asked anxiously.
Fu Qingyao and the others had been on tenterhooks for a while. Zheng Ya said with a wry smile, "Ordinary people are naturally not qualified to know the inside information and rules of the Qian Yuan Continent."
Except for those with supernatural abilities, external aid individuals with supernatural abilities are encouraged to settle in the Qian Yuan Continent.
As for the terms regarding the deployment of external superpowered individuals, details are currently unknown.
"That's good, at least it won't affect you much. We can talk about the rest later," Xu Qi said with a relieved smile.
Zheng Ya piloted Xingwang II back to the moon. After retrieving Xingwang II from the special energy space, he entered the Xingwang command cabin, sat down, and accepted the hot tea handed to him by Ouyang Wenqian, saying, "Alright, ask whatever you want."
"Let me explain, you go and rest for a while!" Xu Qi sensed that something was wrong with him, so she took the initiative to explain the inside story of the Qian Yuan Continent to Fu Qingyao and the other two.
Zheng Ya didn't stop him. He went to a quiet corner and drank tea to calm his nerves. Luckily, he hadn't killed himself.
The rules and constraints on the Qian Yuan Continent are mostly invisible.
Or rather, it is not yet open to lower-level ability users.
After all, the chances of someone like Zheng Ya, who developed various high-tech products and flew into outer space to touch the Tower of Babel and accelerate the time zone barrier, appearing in a lower realm are extremely slim, and have almost never happened.
Similarly, Zheng Ya, having touched the time zone barrier, was given the choice to return to the Qian Yuan Continent by the Tower of Babel mark, and thus would not be punished.
After learning the inside story of the Qian Yuan Continent, Fu Qingyao and the others were all shocked and it took them a while to come to their senses: "So, the Qian Yuan Continent is very dangerous?"
"Yes, a wave of the hand can shatter mountains and rivers, a stomp can shatter stars, and a single supernatural power can destroy an entire galaxy."
The Qian Yuan Continent is a vast world where all races contend and the strong prey on the weak. Whether it is the sea, the land, or the air, it is a boundless expanse.
"In superpowered worlds like those, where powerful beings can be born and control a time zone to accelerate its operation, that's just a matter of waving a hand, child's play," Zheng Ya said, recounting the truth based on his memory.
Although I never saw it with my own eyes, the memories I have of the teacher's lectures, the super-powered information messages, and the accounts of disabled veterans who retired from the front lines all prove that the Qian Yuan Continent is an extremely cruel world.
