Spatial Channels, Cosmic Connections

Chapter 99 Spatial Channels, Cosmic Connections

Spirit world.

Abandoned mines.

The spatial passage opened, and Jag fell out of it.

The familiar spatial constraint of the divine realm swept over him, but this time Jugger was prepared. The moment he regained consciousness, he activated the laws of space and hovered in mid-air, instead of falling to the ground like the first time.

Jag looked around and immediately recognized that this was the abandoned mine where he first came to the God Realm.

"It seems he always appears here whenever he comes to the God Realm," Jage thought to himself.

He already knew from his time in the God Realm that this abandoned mine was called the White Bird Mine. It was originally the God Stone Mine of Gongyang City, but it was mined out many years ago, and now only some lucky gods come here.

Not far to the east of Whitebird Mine is Gongyang City, while continuing west will lead to Skyfire City.

"Let's go to Gongyang City first and see if we can replicate the spatial laws insights of the upper gods."

Before coming, Jag had made plans.

He can only stay in the God Realm for four thousand years. Judging from the time he spent cultivating the laws of space, even if he uses the number of times he can achieve enlightenment, he will not be able to break through to the Upper God Realm within four thousand years.

Even if all his divine avatars refined the main godhead, based on the calculation that each main god avatar lasts for a thousand years, he could only stay in the god realm for ten thousand years, which is also a very tight timeframe.

The best way is to use the time spent in the God Realm to replicate the insights of the powerful, and then return to the Panlong Universe to cultivate.

Fortunately, his time in the divine realm is calculated separately for each of the main god's avatars, so there's no need to worry about it all being reset to zero.

For example, he can stay for four thousand years now. These four thousand years come from four main god avatars. If he replicates the spatial law insights of the upper gods in the fifth hundred years and chooses to return directly to the Panlong Universe.

So the roulette wheel will only reset the first thousand years, leaving the remaining five hundred years, and he will still have three thousand years of remaining time.

In other words, what's important to him in the realm of gods is not cultivation, but finding powerful beings.

Gongyang City is the closest city to the White Bird Mine, so he naturally had to go there first.

Gongyang City is guarded by a God-King level expert, and there are also some Heavenly God level experts in the upper part of the city.

"Last time I came to the God Realm, I wanted to go to Gongyang City but I couldn't because I was forced to return to Panlong Universe early by the Volcano Army of Tianhuo City. This time I'm going to take a good look at the cities of the God Realm."

After checking the direction, Jag decided to leave, but suddenly he realized something was wrong.

He released his divine sense and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

The divine sense of the central deity can reach a radius of tens of miles and can penetrate solid matter, making it very effective for investigation.

But after some investigation, Jag did not find anything unusual.

Then he realized that the problem wasn't external, but rather came from the depths of his soul.

At this moment, in the center of the roulette wheel deep within his soul, the spatial passage radiating white light remained open, and it had formed a connection with the White Bird Mine.

However, there was nothing unusual at the Shiratori Mine. The spatial portal that Jag had sent closed automatically after Jag left. Jag was able to sense the spatial passage because of the roulette wheel.

This appears to be a spatial passage connecting the Panlong Universe with the God Realm of the Main Universe, but it has not yet been formally formed and can only be sensed by Jeg.

"What's going on? This didn't happen last time I came," Jag said, puzzled.

"Could it be because my strength has increased?"

When Jugg last came to the God Realm, he was only a lower-level god, but now he is a middle-level god, a world of difference in strength.

Jag was unsure, but this unformed spatial passage was not a hoax.

In the main universe, it is indeed possible to construct spatial channels between the divine realm and various cosmic spaces in the lower realms.

Generally, a god-king who has fully comprehended the laws of space, or a few powerful upper-level gods, can do this.

For example, the craftsman god Che Houyuan of the Linmeng Universe created thirty-eight spatial channels in his Mystic Temple, which can travel to thirty-eight cosmic spaces.

However, these spatial channels are all within the main universe, while the one that Jagger has now discovered is between the main universe and the secondary universe.

"Could it be that as my strength grows, this spatial passage will gradually take shape? Then, will the powerful beings of the Main Universe's God Realm be able to descend upon the Panlong Universe? And will the powerful beings of the Panlong Universe be able to ascend to the Main Universe's God Realm?"

Jagger was lost in thought. This situation had never occurred in the original work, so he had no definite answer.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky, trying to see through the blue sky of the divine realm to the primordial space outside the main universe, and to see the creator of that primordial universe, Hongmeng.

If such a spatial passage truly existed between the main universe and the Panlong universe, it certainly wouldn't escape Hongmeng's notice. But as it stands now, Hongmeng hasn't reacted at all, nor has it uttered any words like "My path is not lonely."

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now."

Jag stopped worrying about it. This spatial passage was clearly related to the roulette wheel, and he still didn't understand much about this mysterious roulette wheel. Worrying about it now was useless.

"First, improve your strength. When you are stronger, you will have more ways to deal with unexpected events."

Jage didn't linger and flew eastward toward Gongyang City.

Not long after, Jeger flew to Xishan Village.

Xishan Village hasn't changed much, and Jiege even saw the village chief, Guo Shou.

"It seems the crisis from that day has been averted. I wonder how Peng Chi and the other two are doing?"

Jag deliberately slowed down to search for the house where Peng Chi and the other two had lived.

He saw Wen Zhong's weapon-refining shop, but it was no longer a weapon-refining shop; people Jack didn't recognize were living there.

"Wen Zhong..." Jiege thought of the cheerful weapon-refining shop owner.

The Volcanic Army's attack that day, besides killing people, also had another purpose: to plunder wealth. The three Volcanic Army soldiers who initially attacked Jeg even knew the tax payment date for Xishan Village, clearly indicating that they deliberately chose to attack before the tax payment date in order to seize more wealth.

Wen Zhong's weapon-refining shop has many divine artifacts, worth a lot of divine stones, which will definitely attract many Volcano Army soldiers, and it will be difficult for Wen Zhong to resist them alone.

"Wenzhong, if I have the chance in the future, I will help you get revenge," Jeger thought to himself.

He continued searching for the house where Peng Chi had lived, and soon...

"Found it!"

But the house was locked, and it was unclear whether no one lived there or someone had gone out.

Jag frowned and thought for a moment, then decided to ask the village chief for information.

He landed directly in the courtyard where the village chief lived.

The village chief, who was drinking tea in the courtyard, was startled when he saw a figure fall from the sky.

In the realm of gods, those who can fly are at least lower-level gods. The strongest person in the entire Xishan Village is a higher-level god. How could he not panic when he encountered such a powerful being, whose identity was unknown?

"Greetings, sir. May I ask what brings you to my Xishan Village?" Guo Shou bowed respectfully.

"Village Chief Guo, don't you remember me?"

Guo Shou was taken aback, looked up in confusion, and saw that the powerful figure in front of him was a cold-looking young man in purple robes.

He frowned.

Jeger only lived in Xishan Village for a thousand years, and spent almost all of that time cultivating. He only met Guo Shou on the day he arrived. Now, more than a million years have passed, and Guo Shou can't quite remember him.

However, the soul memory of a superior deity is still very strong. After thinking for a while, Guo Shou exclaimed "Ah!" and finally remembered.

"You, you're George!"

Jag smiled: "It's me."

"You... I thought you died at the hands of the Volcano Army," Guo Shou said in surprise.

"I survived by sheer luck and escaped," Jag said.

Guo Shou seemed to recall the tragic scene of that day and sighed, "It's good that we were able to escape. Many people couldn't escape and died. I only survived because the strongmen from Gongyang City arrived in time. Later, when I counted the surviving villagers, I found that you were not there. I thought you were dead too, like some other poor people, with no trace of your body."

Xishan Village is quite large. That night, only the Celestial Gods of the Volcano Army and the three Peng brothers saw the Volcano Army general attack Jeg. Even the other soldiers of the Volcano Army kept their distance after seeing Shi Feng make a move. The gods of Xishan Village were even less likely to approach the Celestial Gods of the Volcano Army; they avoided them like the plague.

When Guo Shou tallied the casualties afterward, he counted how many people were still alive in Xishan Village, including those whose bodies were found or who were missing, and those who were still alive.

Jag asked, "Village Chief Guo, do you still remember the Peng brothers? How are they?"

"Peng Chi? Of course I remember him." Guo Shou seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but sigh.

Jag's heart sank: "Is he really dead?"

Although he had already anticipated it, he still hoped for a miracle until it was truly confirmed.

Guo Shou sighed, "I didn't see the three of them afterward, so I counted them as dead. Who knew that they would reappear about 200,000 years ago, or more precisely, Peng Chi reappeared."

"Really?" Jag was overjoyed. No matter what, it was good that he was alive.

But Guo Shou's next words made him frown.

Guo Shou said, "Peng Chi is still alive and has broken through to the lower level of the Celestial God realm, but he has become a member of the Heavenly Fire City Death Squad."

The Death Squad is one of the three major legions of Skyfire City. In terms of strength alone, it is also the strongest legion in Skyfire City. Their characteristics are that they are fearless and absolutely loyal to the Lord of Skyfire City, and they are willing to give their lives at any time.

This is also the origin of the name "Death Legion".

The reason they were able to do this was because the entire legion was controlled by the soul of the City Lord of Skyfire City.

Panlong Universe has methods of soul control, and the main universe also has them, even more. The craftsman god Che Houyuan of Linmeng Universe has a third-rate primordial spirit treasure called "Locking God Tower," which can absorb life into it and make it a slave to the master of the Locking God Tower.

The Lord of Skyfire City, relying on his unique methods of soul control, established a legion of assassins to fight for him.

Guo Shou shook his head and said, "Peng Chi probably has good talent. He was taken back by the Volcano Army and controlled by the City Lord of Tianhuo City, turning him into a suicide soldier. Alas!"

Guo Shou sighed, saying that for many people, it would be better to die than to be controlled by a soul.

A cold glint flashed in Jag's eyes.

"The Lord of Skyfire City!"

Jag secretly made a mental note that if he were strong enough in the future, he would definitely go to save Peng Chi. Right now, he was only a Central Heavenly God and couldn't even defeat the generals of the army under the Lord of Tianhuo City. Going there rashly would only be suicide.

"Village chief, what about Peng Chi's two brothers? How are they?" Jeger asked, remembering that Guo Shou had only mentioned Peng Chi's situation earlier.

Guo Shou said, "I don't know. The two of them haven't appeared since. They may be dead, or they may have become assassins like Peng Chi."

Jeremiah remained silent. Of the three, Peng Chi was one under the control of a soul, and the fates of the other two were unknown.

"By the way, Qiao Jie, you actually cultivated to become a Celestial God! I remember you were just a lower-level deity more than a million years ago, right? To become a Celestial God in such a short time, you are definitely a genius!" Guo Shou exclaimed.

He has been cultivating for much longer than Jeg, yet he is only a high-level god.

"It was just a lucky breakthrough." Jage didn't say more.

"Don't be modest. Generally speaking, it takes countless years for a lower-level god to reach the level of a higher-level god. But it's extremely difficult to go from a higher-level god to a lower-level celestial god. Only one in a million gods might become a celestial god. This is not just a matter of luck. I also hope to become a celestial god one day." Guo Shou said with envy.

"By the way, Qiao Jie, with your talent, you should join Gongyang City. The city lord of Gongyang City is a God-King level expert who controls a lot of cultivation resources. If you join, once you are valued, your strength will improve even faster," Guo Shou said.

"I do intend to join Gongyang City, but I don't know much about it. Village Chief, do you know anything about Gongyang City?" Jag asked.

Although Guo Shou was only a superior deity, he had served as the village chief of Xishan Village for many years, and Jiege felt that the other party definitely knew more than he did.

"Haha, I wouldn't dare say I understand, I just know some basic information."

Guo Shou considered his words carefully before continuing, "Gongyang City is a border city under the command of the Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain, bordering the territory of the Myriad Fire Sect. The fact that the Lord of Gongyang City can guard such a city shows that his strength is quite strong among the God Kings of the Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain."

"If you want to join Gongyang City, the most direct way is to join the Gongyang City army. Generally, high-level gods need to go through a competition to join the army, but celestial gods do not need to; they can join directly."

"Although joining is easy, obtaining cultivation resources is not so easy; one needs to make military contributions."

Jag nodded. It seemed that joining Gongyang City wouldn't be a problem. As for cultivation resources, he wasn't too concerned. His goal was to find a higher-level deity to exchange insights on replicating the laws of space.

"Village Chief, do you know which Upper Celestial Gods are in Gongyang City?"

"Upper Heavenly Gods? Those are all big shots. The commanders of the three major legions of Gongyang City are all Upper Heavenly God level experts. As for the others, I don't know."

"Yes, thank you." Jag said, cupping his hands in a fist and palm salute. He had learned almost everything he wanted to know.

"Village chief, then I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell!"

"Alright." Guo Shou returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

Jag flew into the air and sped eastward toward Gongyang City.

Guo Shou watched Jiege leave.

"Peng Chi and Qiao Jie, I never imagined that these two once-divine people would become powerful celestial beings," Guo Shou remarked.

The entire Xishan Village has only a few hundred thousand divine beings, and most of the time it doesn't produce even one celestial god-level expert. But now, two have actually emerged, which Guo Shou finds quite remarkable.
