Chapter 2129: Summit Battle 17

A brief silence.

Mo Ling frowned tightly, their small head rapidly thinking whether what Ka Lian said was correct.

The logic is self-consistent; one has to say that after Ka Lian explained the principle, everything sounded like it followed the laws of the real world. One has to say, if Ka Lian wasn't deceiving her, this method alone would be enough to become a trump card for a civilization's rise!

No wonder Ka Lian is so arrogant, daring to trade this secret for her life.

Just...

"After saying all that, what's the price? What's the method?"

"Moreover, altering position information, although it sounds like it would have the least impact on material structure, it's not without any effect, right? A stone taken from a planet's surface into space, or even near a black hole, its mass information and such would still change greatly."

"Furthermore, at what level are you modifying the coordinates—microscopic or macroscopic? Even a one-centimeter stone actually contains perhaps trillions of coordinate data, after all its interior includes atomic position information, and even smaller quarks and gluons."

It's no wonder Mo Ling doubts, for even if Ka Lian could explain these, she cannot explain why she can't escape pursuit.

With such ability in hand, what are Void Walkers?

"What you said is correct, but that doesn't mean I'm lying."

After a moment's hesitation, Ka Lian hesitated over whether to finish explaining the true line of thought. She didn't know why, but this group of monkeys seemed completely unconcerned about what happens after they go out. Moreover, from Mo Ling's reaction she realized she had guessed wrong about Lin An and the others' true purpose.

(These monkeys aren't spies sent by Qing Kai, and they don't even know either side of Black Armor...)

After quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Ka Lian still intended to tell the truth, after all the most valuable thing is 'herself'.

"Just as I said before, to teleport we must know the coordinates."

"This coordinate is not the destination's coordinate, but one that includes our own. For example, I am standing here now; merely knowing the coordinate beneath my feet is useless. If I want to teleport back here again, I must know that I have been here before, including my own coordinate information."

"In other words, to teleport somewhere you must have been there yourself! And since I was the one standing here last time, next time I can't bring others to teleport here! If forced, there's a high chance of disintegration during teleportation, vanishing into nothingness!"

"Within us, there's a term perhaps more fitting: that is Spacetime Regression!"

The logic is a bit awkward; after speaking, Ka Lian looked toward Mo Ling.

She wasn't sure Mo Ling could understand her meaning; in fact, within the Alliance, only the core few truly grasp the true principle of this 'technique'.

"Spacetime Regression.."

Mo Ling lifted her head, once again startling Ka Lian, even shocking her!

"I think I understand."

"Rather than saying you're modifying coordinates, you're actually modifying time—time that includes coordinates."

"What an interesting line of thought; you keep swapping concepts..."

Mo Ling gave a light laugh, directly exposing Ka Lian's 'lie'.

Before Ka Lian's face could change drastically, the next second Mo Ling tilted her head and chuckled:

"Don't bother with macroscopic or microscopic coordinates; not only is the data too huge to handle, but even if you did, it would be useless. After all, yesterday's you and today's you have different cells in your body; no matter how you modify the coordinates, they could never match up."

"Therefore the best method is to record yesterday's self's information in time; when wanting to teleport back, simply reverse your own time."

"Then as for the price.."

"Loss of strength? Loss of memory?"

As the words fell, Ka Lian gaped open-mouthed, staring at her as if seeing a ghost!

Heaven pities her; she had intended to hide this information and use it to manipulate this little girl! But who would have thought, before she could even speak it out, Mo Ling had already guessed it all!

You must know her logic just now was flawless; the Alliance has used this excuse to deceive many civilizations!

"You have time regulations!? Have you ever seen them!?"

"How did you guess that!? No, this is impossible!"

Mo Ling slowly straightened her head, also too lazy to bother with the astonished Ka Lian.

Seen it?

Maybe; when Ka Lian was halfway through speaking, she recalled Lin An's ability. No one knows Lin An better than she does; she keeps in mind all the abilities Lin An possesses, and from time to time she ponders how they could help Lin An.

Too lazy to waste words with Ka Lian, Mo Ling remained calm and simply asked the crux:

"Such a price must be high, which is why you've never used teleportation. Oh, perhaps it also affects strength? A slip could even threaten life."

"For example, if there's an obstacle at the teleportation coordinates? After teleporting there, big problems would arise."

"You've concealed too much; just from what I can infer, your so-called secret amounts to nothing more than this."

"Anything else to say? If not, you might as well go die."

Her gaze turned slightly cold; as Mo Ling spoke, a hint of dissatisfaction and killing intent rose on her face. It was as if Ka Lian's secret was merely wasting her time.

But deep down, little Mo Ling instead became even more concerned.

(Such a powerful ability! Even if problems are many and limitations great, perhaps at a critical moment it could let that idiot survive!)

Ka Lian's face changed, completely unaware that Mo Ling was threatening her. In an instant, she was so startled she shouted loudly:

"No no! No! I didn't intentionally conceal it!"

"Lady Mo Ling! Isn't this enough!? Infinite-distance spatial teleportation! If you dare to gamble, it could even jump to another universe!"

"Even if the cost is great, it's still a hope of near-infinite possibilities!"

When Ka Lian wasn't looking, Mo Ling's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange hue, as if moved by those words.

"So what do you need? How to teleport or determine coordinates, specifically what is required? Speak up, and perhaps I can consider letting you go."

Mo Ling forcibly controlled her expression, feigning renewed interest.

As the words fell, Ka Lian let out a big sigh, the heart that had risen to her throat finally settling down.

All that could be seen was her taking a deep breath, as if making a decision, and she bluntly spoke what she wanted to keep for last.

"Bloodline! Our lineage's bloodline has a natural sensitivity to coordinates!"

"As long as you are our descendants, you can achieve this! Of course, bloodline—or rather, genetic purity—the higher it is, the better you can break limits! That's also why I think you are spies planted by Qing Kai! Because my purity is the highest!"

"Want to have children with you?"

Without waiting for Ka Lian to explain further, to explain what breaking limits means. Suddenly, Mo Ling, who had previously valued this ability greatly, flashed an icy coldness to the extreme in her eyes.

Being startled by the killing intent, Ka Lian's face full of terror, completely unaware of what she again said mistaken.
