Chapter 708: Ancient Heavenly Court

A place infinitely close to nothingness, a vast palace complex, quietly sits here.

The layout of the palace is square, with four major gateways: south, south, west, and north.

They are like city walls, guarding the palaces.

……

"Is this the real [Nantianmen]?"

"The name of our club is really not made up!"

The palace complex is directly south, in front of the vast giant gate.

Chen Qi felt that his neck was sore, and he didn't see the full outline of the giant gate.

With such a big door, he seems to be a little difficult to be a security guard.

……

"Senior Brother Chen, you're finally here."

"Dude, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Senior brother, your cultivation speed is even faster than we estimated."

"It's truly unparalleled!"

The South Heaven Gate was open, and Chen Qi was on the left half of the door at this time.

And at the half door on the right, an old acquaintance of Chen Qi was already waiting here.

……

"Senior Gu Yunqing, I didn't expect it to be the two of us watching the gate together!"

"What a fate!"

The moment he saw the other doorman, Chen Qi's eyes lit up, it was good to be an "acquaintance", at least he was not lonely.

Gu Yunqing is one of the seven school rules in charge of the Nantian Society.

Chen Qi also had a meeting with this senior!

I really didn't expect that this [Nantianmen] really has a row.

They even need to be guarded by the two school rule holders.

……

"Hahaha, fate is indeed there."

"It can be said that since the junior brother became the head of the school rules, I have been waiting to work with you, brother!"

"The four gates of this Ancient Heavenly Court are each guarded by the top four societies in the academy."

"Our Nantian Society is more kind to people, so we will guard this [Nantian Gate]."

Gu Yunqing introduced their work to Chen Qi in detail.

This is also considered a training for new employees.

……

According to Gu Yunqing's account, no matter which club it is, the important work of guarding the gate is also done by the person in charge of the school rules.

On the one hand, this is due to the importance of the identity of the person in charge of the school rules.

The spiritual dimension is full of dangers, and of course it is safer to keep it under your nose.

On the other hand, it is the special of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

……

"Senior brother, you should have heard of it on the 4th day."

"Ancient Heavenly Court is a product of that era."

"And our school rules also originated from that era."

"We, the school rules in charge, naturally have certain authority in the Ancient Heavenly Court."

"For example, this [Nantianmen], except for us, even if the weaver comes, it can't be opened and closed."

Gu Yunqing had a hint of smugness on his face, although they, the school rules in charge, were relatively "lonely" in the real world.

But in the spiritual dimension, in the Ancient Heavenly Court, it really stood up.

Although it's just a petty official the size of a sesame grain in the heavenly court, you offend me?

……

"The Ancient Heavenly Court is really from the old era!"

"Our Heavenly Witch Spell Academy is really close to that era."

Out of love for his work, Chen Qi did some research on the place where he worked in advance.

……

It's a pity that even in the high-level internal reference, he only knows in general terms that the real Nantianmen is located in the spiritual latitude.

It is the south gate of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

As for the origin of [Ancient Heavenly Court], since it involves the old era, there is unusually little information on the surface.

Naturally, this could not be the ignorance of the Academy.

It could only be the permission of Chen Qi's permission 5, which is not enough.

There is no access to the secrets of the old days.

……

"Boom!"

According to Gu Yunqing's teachings, Chen Qi began to "refine" his own half of the door.

Everything went very smoothly, but in the blink of an eye, with the vibration of the left half of the door.

Chen Qi appeared on the portal like a sticker, or a door god.

……

"I'll go, is this to be a security guard, or to be a [door spirit]?"

The moment he merged with the portal, Chen Qi felt as if he had really turned into a giant door.

It stands here quietly and has spent billions of years.

From the perspective of the [door], Chen Qi looked out.

Then I saw the spiritual dimension that was as bright as the stars.

……

"What's that?"

"Mortal?"

Perhaps it's because Chen Qi is projecting information authority.

After his gaze penetrated through billions of spiritual dimensions, he saw a huge surface of ice.

……

Beneath the ice, the city is neon, cooking smoke curls up, and countless human beings burn themselves like candles.

That is the 10 trillion human beings in the material world, who are undergoing life alchemy reactions, constantly escaping spirituality.

The light that passes through the ice and is refracted into the spiritual dimension is the infinite [Spiritual Distortion Power].

And it is these spiritual lights that illuminate the pitch-black [nothingness] and shape the spiritual dimensions.

……

Maybe it's because I've been staring at it for too long.

In a trance, Chen Qi, who overlooked the bright world, actually gave birth to a feeling of "condescending".

He felt like he was in a "higher dimension" at this time. ”

He is a high immortal, punishing the heavens, grazing all living beings wantonly.

……

[Immortal], [Spiritual Realm], [Human World].

A hint of wonderful world architecture came to Chen Qi's heart.

The Ancient Heavenly Court where Chen Qi is located is, of course, the [Immortal Realm].

The infinite [Spiritual Dimension] is the [Spiritual Realm].

The material world under the ice is naturally [the world].

……

It seems very reasonable and very natural.

Chen Qi even instinctively gave birth to a trace of recognition.

But with the immeasurable immortals blooming with the fire of wisdom, Chen Qi instantly sobered up.

This simply doesn't make sense, where is it reasonable?

……

Upside down, everything upside down.

Compared to the real material world, the spiritual dimension is "lower".

And the Ancient Heavenly Court was obviously closer to [Nothingness], lower than many spiritual dimensions, and even less real.

If Chen Qi agrees with that set of theories just now, it is equivalent to losing his own [truth].

Damn, it's so dangerous to be a security guard!

I almost hung up as soon as I got on the job!

……

"Senior Brother Chen, you are finally sober."

"Scared the hell out of me."

"Senior brother, your eyes are too good, you actually saw the [world] at a glance."

"Now many people in the academy are passing on the apprenticeship, you have practiced the primordial strings."

"I was skeptical before, but now I do!"

"I didn't expect that what the junior brother projected here turned out to be the authority of information."

Seeing the moment Chen Qi was "addicted", Gu Yunqing realized that something was wrong.

……

The junior brother's action was too fast, and he didn't finish his precautions, so he went straight to work.

If that's all there is, that's not a problem.

But how could it be that just after taking up the post, he directly penetrated everything and saw the real world.

……

Everything in the world is relative.

Looking at the spiritual dimension from the real world, of course, I feel that I am in a higher dimension.

In the same way, if it is substituted into the perspective of [Ancient Heavenly Court].

When you look down at heaven from the abyss, you will also feel that the other party is in a lower dimension.

This may seem like a change in perception, and it's not a big deal.

……

But what Chen Qi is in now is the spiritual dimension.

Once you identify with this "perspective", you are assimilated yourself.

Even if Chen Qi is only a projection body now, even after being assimilated, the projection body is more "real" and more powerful.

But the Buddha-figure located in the real world has to pay the price of reduced authenticity.

……

Once the reality of a living entity is reduced, it is not severe enough to be alienated from the real world and targeted by the world.

There will also be reductions in various aspects of oneself, such as luck, talent, lifespan, and so on.

For the transcendent, this is no less than digging bones and removing meat.

……

If Chen Qi had just gone to work, he would have been "planted" on it.

Gu Yunqing felt that he couldn't wash himself when he jumped into the sea.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he also plans to be a good friend with Senior Brother Chen for life, and he really doesn't have the idea of cheating people at all.

……

This can really only be blamed on the junior's eyes are too good.

He Gu Yunqing has been a doorman for decades, and he has only seen the world a few times.

This is still a situation where he has long known the "taboo" and has been mentally prepared.

Even so, at one point he almost got lost.

After that, Gu Yunqing didn't dare to look at it anymore.

……

It can be said that being a security guard in the heavenly court is indeed very safe.

But it's not without its dangers.

Due to the particularity of the Heavenly Court Gate, it is easy for the guards to look through the worlds and the world.

This is a kind of chance, but also a test.

……

If you look too much, the doorman can easily be assimilated by the spiritual dimension.

Therefore, generally speaking, the doormen of the Heavenly Court are "not long".

Once there is cognitive confusion, you will be lost, and you will have to be "laid off" and return to the real world.

Chen Qi's previous term retired in this way.

……

"Senior Gu don't worry."

"Just now I was greedy and reckless!"

"The path of cultivation should really be cautious and slow."

"But I don't know if we, the [doormen], have any other taboos."

"I hope the seniors will inform me as well."

After almost suffering a big loss, Chen Qi also "coaxed".

Newcomers should be "low-key" when they go to work, but I didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in a security guard.

It's not easy to work part-time!

……

"Senior brother, you really should slow down your cultivation."

"Although our new method is known for its fast cultivation speed, we are just jogging, junior brother, you are flying."

"Although our job is a welfare position, there are still taboos."

"For example, when the [South Heavenly Gate] is closed, we are absolutely not allowed to peek inside the Heavenly Court."

"It's not that we're afraid that we'll see the privacy of your big guys, but that there are still some problems in the [Ancient Heavenly Court] itself."

"[Ancient Heavenly Court] was snatched back from the Heavenly Demon by our Heavenly Witch Spell Academy, and it itself has been stained by demons."

Seeing Chen Qi's "one step ahead", Gu Yunqing no longer dared to follow the steps this time.

Instead, he directly told Chen Qi all the precautions, including his own work experience.

……

According to Gu Yunqing's account, all the high-level leaders of the academy and the old true inheritors all have their own residences in the [Ancient Heavenly Court].

After Chen Qi heard this, he originally fantasized about whether he could be assigned to the welfare house.

As a result, the dream was shattered in an instant.

Because if you want to get a house in [Ancient Heavenly Court], you have to spend money.

Chen Qi and the others, who are in charge of school rules, enjoy certain benefits.

But it's just a 7% discount!

……

As for the benefits of the [Ancient Heavenly Court] house, Gu Yunqing, who was still living on the gate, said that he didn't know either.

If you want to buy a house in the Ancient Heavenly Court, you must use the [Heavenly Demon Money].

And this kind of thing can only be refined after hunting the Heavenly Demon.

Gu Yun is very clear, he has always looked at the gate honestly, and he doesn't hunt the Heavenly Demon at all.

……

I heard that Gu Yunqing has been a doorman for decades, but he has not realized his dream of buying a house.

Chen Qi immediately "became angry" and "jumped like thunder", constantly shouting for Senior Gu.

Damn, who told me that being a doorman can accept gifts at will.

……

How is it possible to receive gifts for decades and still not be able to afford a house?

Could it be that Gu Yunqing is too wasteful, oh, no, is it too incorruptible?

If that's the case, it's a bit tricky!

……

Chen Qi's first day of employment was spent in the training of newcomers.

After the power projection is fused with the gate, Chen Qi's projection body can be stationed at the [South Heavenly Gate].

Time in the spiritual dimension is meaningless.

Anyway, after a day in the real world, Chen Qi's doorman is already very skilled!

But he never saw anyone else entering or leaving the [South Heavenly Gate].

……

In the face of such a deserted working environment, Gu Yunqing said that he should be calm.

He told Chen Qi with the experience of a veteran that there is no need to be so "desperate" at work.

If you should be lazy, you will be lazy, and if you should touch the fish, you will touch the fish.

On the projection side, you only need to divide a trace of insignificant computing power.

……

Generally speaking, unless there are "special circumstances", [Nantianmen] will not be closed at all.

Only when it is necessary to close the Nantian Gate, they need their guards to go all out.

As for what are the special cases?

Gu Yunqing said that he had only encountered one, and that was a group of stupid heavenly demons who had come over.

As a result, Gu Yunqing and the two, who were "frightened" and hurriedly closed the door, were directly ridiculed for more than ten years.

……

After listening to Gu Yunqing's story, Chen Qi felt that his dream of buying a house was probably unrealizable.

Chen Qi didn't know if the senior would accept the gift.

But there must be very few people who give gifts, which is clear.

That's it, just a little bit of points every month, what a desperate effort!

……

So after only one day of work, Chen Qi successfully evolved into an old fritter and began to fish.

If you are not "at home" at the gate, you can't "arrive late and leave early".

Chen Qi doesn't even want to spend this projection!

……

In the real world, when Chen Qi was busy working as a security guard.

Bab City, the experimental base of the [Exterminator Organization], a self-rescue activity, is in full swing.

The 15 vice presidents gambled their glory and lives to teach the Imperial Viscount a lesson.

……

"Good, good!"

"End of Experimental Phase 1."

"According to our biological experiments, this black hole is indeed a space-time corridor."

"Although the guinea pig we sent in didn't come out, it was still alive inside."

"However, according to the monitoring data, the vital indicators of the mice have been declining."

"I have a bold guess, and we need to confirm it again."

The first vice president, Du Laimen, swept away the Buddhist system of the past and presided over the experimental work with high morale.

If it was a real fight, he naturally had no interest at all.

But he is the best at researching this kind of thing.

……

"Dulemen, do you think this black hole is a living thing?"

"After all, only if it is alive can it always lock our [space-time realm]."

"Our previous experiments have determined that the gravitational pull is aimed at our own [space-time boundary]."

"This is indeed a very subtle means of space-time locking, unless we can change our own [space-time realm], we can't get rid of it at all."

"But that doesn't mean it's impossible to interfere with this lockdown."

"We put a batch of [raw materials] in a vain attempt to interfere with this space-time lock."

"It did work well at first, but as the black hole creeped and collapsed, [the raw material] was eaten."

"This is definitely not something that ordinary space treasures can do."

The 3rd Vice President touched his bald head, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

……

Due to the existence of the microcosmic gate, the macrocosm of the material world is still in the state of "matter determines time and space".

This state is called the [Space-Time Realm].

It can be said that as long as any matter or even life exists, it has its own [space-time boundary].

What Duleimen and the others are now locked in is their own [Time and Space Realm].

……

Unlike ordinary substances, as long as they are cut casually, the [Space-Time Boundary] can be changed.

The [Space-Time Realm] of lifeforms is more complex and more difficult to change.

Therefore, in the face of such a lock-in, Duleimen and others reluctantly took out the [raw materials] treasured by the organization.

……

The raw material can excite [space-time ripples], which can naturally disrupt or even cut off this lock.

It's a pity that it fell short.

But Dulemen and others are not without gains, and the black hole has also exposed its own relevant information.

……

"Quick, send this silver lifeform in."

"Very good, this black hole can really be eaten!"

"Digestion, that silver lifeform is really being digested."

"Can't escape?"

"Strange, there is no space prohibition at the mouth of the black hole."

New experiments soon unfolded, and a series of three silver lifeforms were sent into the black hole.

This is already all the inventory of the Exterminator Order.

……

"Alive, really alive."

"It's incredible, according to the data we calculated, the inside of the black hole looks like a peristaltic intestinal wall!"

"Black holes don't have any powerful consciousness, only a devouring instinct."

"Activated organs, activated organs with the power of time and space."

"Won't it?"

"Could it be that the body of this black hole is the remains of a space-time demon?"

"It seems like that's the only possibility."

After a long day of work, the [Exterminator Organization] is worthy of being a group of experts who are proficient in the study of time and space.

They did the math, and they actually depicted the ontology of the black hole.

It was a crooked intestine, and they were now locked by the power of time and space emanating from it.

……

To be honest, the 15 vice presidents who learned the truth were a little confused.

The reason why they are eyeing the Viscount of the Empire is because of the remains of the time and space demons.

But now, this thing is automatically delivered to the door.

……

So, is this the Viscount of the Empire looking down on them?

Think there's no way they're going to snatch this treasure away?

Can this be endured?

Gotta teach him a lesson!
