Chapter 673: Mysterious Realm
That's why Shen Chao is so keen to use technology to turn himself into a "god". After all, before him, all those who tried to create an eternal prosperity failed. Some are defeated by the environment, and some are defeated by time. Like those people, Shen Chao also wanted to firmly control his own destiny and control the world around him with his own will.
But subconsciously, as a materialist, he is also aware of the logical naivety of this thought, which is why he is still hesitant to continue. The temptation to become a god is great, but it is not so great that he can carry it out immediately.
In the second half of the meeting, after explaining the main work, Shen Chao arranged a new rotation schedule. Like any efficient combat organization, after every major mission, he will give the main personnel involved in the operation a period of leave to give the team members a chance to relax. However, if it weren't for the huge scale of the operation in the Star Wars plane this time, he would not have needed to arrange a special rotation schedule.
After this leadership meeting, Shen Chao walked out of the conference room and stood in the corridor as usual, looking at the scenery outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Jupiter outside was still spinning slowly as usual, but Shen Chao couldn't watch it with the same peace of mind as usual.
Although everything has been going well in recent times, he himself has always felt that something is about to happen, and this feeling is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and no matter how much he investigates, it seems like unfounded speculation.
"Let me guess, you're thinking about that ethereal plan again?" Custer approached Shen Chao's side, leaned against the handrail in front of the window and asked, with a hint of imperceptible dissatisfaction and helplessness in his tone. But the overall tone is surprisingly not oppressive, as relaxed as a joke.
If it weren't for Shen Chao's sensitive senses and being very familiar with him, he wouldn't have been able to hear the trace of dissatisfaction in his tone. The high-level members of the Space-Time Council were basically opposed to Shen Chao taking the risk of carrying out this plan codenamed "Xingtian".
As Shen Chao's earliest partner, he is the actual deputy in the entire space-time council system. Custer was undecided on this issue, and even Shen Chao couldn't be completely sure whether his old friend supported or opposed his extremely "arrogant" plan to seal the gods.
"You don't persuade me either?" Shen Chao asked rhetorically, he actually had doubts about whether this plan should be continued, so this rhetorical question was really seeking Custer's opinion.
"No, I'm not going to persuade you. That's Alice's job, so go to her if you want to be persuaded. Custer refused to influence Shen Chao on this issue without hesitation. He has his own good reasons. If all goes well, he will soon step down from his current position and return to his home plane.
"She's always been against this kind of thing that has to do with technological progress, you know. Is this also your opinion? Shen Chao asked with a little confusion. In internal meetings, Custer and Alice have been enemies of opinion.
They can have completely opposite opinions on almost any topic, and they are used to setting aside a few minutes at each meeting for them to argue. It would be a very rare thing for Custer to be able to agree with Alice on this issue.
"I didn't say I agreed with her. But on this issue, all I can say is that you are thinking things too simply. Her objections to this are not the same as you might initially think. Custer said mysteriously, and then there was a meaning to flash people.
"Wait. What do you mean by that? Shen Chao was very confused when he heard this, because Alice had always been against this kind of issue, so he didn't think much about it, but according to Custer, there seemed to be a deeper problem here.
As the head of all the intelligence networks established by the expedition, Custer was able to learn important information that he could not get at all times. It is because of this that he always firmly holds the second most important position in the expedition.
"For your own good, I won't reveal the mystery. But as a friend. I have some advice for you. When it comes to the issue of becoming a god, don't make a decision too early. Standing in such a position as high as you. Many times, the world seen is only a vista or even a fog.
You can't see a lot of things that used to be known at a glance, imagine how narrow your vision would be if you really became invincible......" Eventually, Custer left the riddle-like words and left Space Station Zero.
Although Shen Chao didn't understand why Custer, who had always been very straightforward, spoke in such ink, he grasped the point in the other party's words, or rather, he caught the part that he thought was the point. That is, the part where his perspective is limited.
Frankly. Shen Chao agrees with this statement. Although he doesn't want to admit it, with the rapid expansion of the organization, he is indeed becoming more and more detached from grassroots practice. Although the affairs of the expedition were still under his complete control, he knew no more about the various branches of the Space-Time Council than an ordinary person.
With that in mind. He decided to take a visit to his area of control to get the latest information and take a break by the way. At the very least, I am Legend and Elysium, the two most populous planes, should be investigated more thoroughly.
But before that, he was going to go back to his hometown to see the latest situation on the main plane, so that he could give himself a reference for comparison. Since the large-scale expansion of the expedition, he has not really returned to the main plane of Earth. He was also curious about what his hometown was like now.
Half an hour later, in an inconspicuous artificial forest outside the outskirts of the imperial capital that had already fallen at night, a shuttle plane landed steadily on the ground, and because it was in stealth and silent mode, it was very quiet when landing, and even the birds in the trees a little farther away were not alarmed.
Soon, a "gap" appeared in the air near the ground, leaking a red light that could not be transmitted far in the night. That's the color of the lights in the inner compartment when the hatch opens. After the hatch opened, Shen Chao, who had already changed into casual clothes, took off his sunglasses and walked out of the cabin with a small backpack.
He was largely distracted, so he didn't carry any weapons, and he only brought a few retinues with him, and he only allowed them to follow him covertly outside of a certain range. He doesn't know yet. This decision will profoundly change my short journey.
At this time, in a residential area near the 4th Ring Road in the northern part of the imperial capital, a young man with thick-rimmed glasses, gorgeous magic robes, and a huge wizard hat had just returned to his home through a space-time door. Needless to say, anyone who sees this will understand. This young man, like Shen Chao, is also a traverser.
Unlike Shen Chao, this traverser looks very young, and his face should be that of a college student who is still in school. A few years ago, when he suddenly gained the ability to traverse like Shen Chao, he was just an ordinary student facing the college entrance examination.
Like other traversers of the same batch, he was not as "lucky" as Shen Chao. That said, like most of his generation, he spent most of the first 3 years after his first crossing with headaches and nightmares.
It was the reaction of the space-time fragments when they entered a large amount of information into their brains, and if it were not for the protection mechanism of the fragments, the massive amount of information generated during any information entry would instantly smash people's consciousness into pieces.
Like everyone else. After enduring almost 3 years of torture, he finally got rid of this nightmare and returned to the main plane. He only deciphered a small part of the information that the fragments of time and space had forced into his brain. But this information still made it clear to him that there were other traversers in this world.
After learning the truth, he had briefly avoided the plane he had crossed over for the first time, but after that, after several rounds of back and forth and familiarization with his abilities, the fear in his heart gradually dissipated. Instead, you have to really enjoy your "honorable" status.
As a traverser, he naturally quickly learned how to use his abilities to his advantage. is different from non-mainstream traversers like Shen Chao. Knowing his situation, he made the same choice as most of the other travelers he had never met, which was to conceal his identity and go on a solo journey. Until now, at least, the young time-traveler who looked like a student had never thought of sharing his privileges with anyone.
A few months after his first return to the main plane, he became a tycoon and began learning magic in a high magical plane with a DND background. After nearly a year, he had already taken advantage of his foresight. With a background book in hand, he made friends and leveled up on that plane, and quickly grew into a legendary mage.
Although he still looks like an ordinary weak student on the outside, in fact, in another plane, he has already grown into the lord of a city, and his own destructive power is equivalent to that of a humanoid self-propelled nuclear arsenal. And he is rapidly approaching on the way to godhood.
Of course, that doesn't mean he's free of scruples. After all, magic is still a foreign product to the main plane, and is physically incompatible. This makes him have to be very careful with what he carries every time he goes back and forth to make sure that there is no conflict of laws.
The main magic item brought back must be close to the body to ensure that it is protected by the Temporal Fragment that you are carrying, so that the Temporal Fragment will recognize the magical item as a part of yourself, ensuring that it does not explode. It was also thought that the same reason was why he was able to cast spells on the main plane.
Of course, in his opinion that he is only one step away from becoming a full-level mage and a demigod, even if he brings more things, there is no problem, after all, there is also a storage space, a proprietary BUG item of the magic plane, that he can use. No, as soon as he returned to the main plane, he took off his big hat and threw it into the storage space. It was at this moment that he suddenly noticed that a prophecy circle on his chest was lit up! (To be continued......)
