Chapter 4: Satellite

The next morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Facing Facing Cang Luo saw a dazzling beam of light, turned toward the source, and felt extremely strange.

It seemed as if his entire body was spinning; turning around actually took over ten seconds.

"The sun! Is that the sun?"

The turned Facing Facing Cang Luo actually saw a sun, and it was the sun viewed from within the universe, with flames faintly visible erupting and burning on its surface.

Facing Facing Cang Luo instinctively raised his hand to block his eyes, worried about being burned by the sun's intense light, but discovered he could not move his arm.

"Hand, where is my hand?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo lowered his head to look at his own body, but saw nothing.

Torso, legs, feet—all were gone!

"A dream, this must be a dream. I remember it was extremely painful after taking the Zhi Yuan Dan; the brain must have responded to protect the body by making me lose consciousness."

Facing Facing Cang Luo shook his non-existent body, and suddenly saw a blue-black object like a glass panel in the corner of his vision.

These glass panels were assembled from dozens of smaller glass panels; it seemed he had seen them somewhere before.

Facing Facing Cang Luo stared at the blue-black glass panel, frowning and thinking hard; as he stared, the glass panel actually moved, flipping slightly.

Since the glass panel was reflective, the previous flip adjusted the angle just right to see the sun.

Looking at the sun reflected by the glass panel, Facing Facing Cang Luo instantly realized and exclaimed, "Damn, is this a solar panel?"

Looking at the solar panel and the deep void of space, Facing Facing Cang Luo thought there was only one possibility for this strange perspective.

"Could it be that I am now dreaming I have possessed a satellite?"

After thinking it over, Facing Facing Cang Luo believed this was the only possibility; this strange perspective must be a camera on the satellite.

"Haha, this satellite is a surveillance satellite! I wonder if it has any other functions."

As soon as Facing Facing Cang Luo thought of this, an image suddenly appeared in his mind.

No, it should be called a memory; no, that's not right either; it was as if he knew it instinctively.

Just as humans instinctively know their hands can move.

This instinct told Facing Facing Cang Luo that this satellite also had a weapon system capable of firing a laser cannon.

Thinking and doing were one; Facing Facing Cang Luo commanded this instinct, just like controlling a mechanical arm with one's mind in movies.

Facing Facing Cang Luo could clearly hear the mechanical 'click-click' sounds, as if it were something like a telescoping cannon barrel.

Where is the switch? It should also be mind-controlled, right?

Looking at the empty void of space, Facing Facing Cang Luo issued the firing command in his mind!

Zzzt!

The laser cannon fired instantly, emitting a sound like an electromagnetic explosion.

The image shook slightly, and immediately Facing Facing Cang Luo saw a hundred-meter-long deep blue laser cannon shoot out from the edge of his field of view.

This laser cannon, with a diameter of about 10 centimeters, remained in space for a full 5 seconds before gradually dissipating.

"Why do I feel a bit dizzy? The vision is getting blurry, just like lacking energy right after waking up; could it be caused by firing the laser cannon?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo shook his non-existent head, trying to wake himself up a bit.

But he forgot that his current body was a satellite; shaking his head was just shaking the satellite!

As a result, the satellite was controlled by Facing Facing Cang Luo's brainless command to spin in place; the feeling of weightlessness was very unpleasant.

The spinning satellite made Facing Facing Cang Luo feel as if the entire universe was shaking; he was already a bit dizzy, and now it had become much worse.

Facing Facing Cang Luo quickly issued a command to control the satellite to stop spinning; the satellite cooperated well, and the view slowly stabilized.

Suddenly, a sapphire-blue planet appeared in Facing Facing Cang Luo's field of view.

Facing Facing Cang Luo originally thought this planet was Earth, but after seeing it had nine moons, he immediately rejected this idea.

Not only that, but this planet and Earth also had one biggest difference.

That was that its land portion consisted of only one continent, for the time being only one.

Because Facing Facing Cang Luo discovered he could not move the satellite, only control it to spin in place, he could not see whether other lands existed on the back of this planet.

But even the area of this single continent was slightly larger than the total land area of Earth.

The overall shape of the continent on the planet resembled an irregular inverted triangle, with numerous islands scattered around it, while the interior of the continent contained many inland seas and lakes.

"I wonder if the satellite camera can adjust the focal distance?"

As soon as this thought arose, Facing Facing Cang Luo discovered the continent in the image was continuously enlarging, just like playing Google Earth.

"This is interesting; let me see what your limit is; it would be great if I could zoom in enough to see a human face clearly."

Hehe! A supreme tool for peeping!

As the image zoomed in, Facing Facing Cang Luo saw an island resembling a certain island nation on Earth at the far eastern edge of the continent.

It was also composed of four islands connected together, with a similarity rate of over ninety-five percent.

"Coincidence?"

While puzzled, Facing Facing Cang Luo saw another island below this island resembling a certain island nation that shocked and felt incredibly familiar to him.

"Is that the treasure island of Taiwan?!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo exclaimed, rubbing his non-existent eyes.

He examined this island from top to bottom and finally discovered that this island and the treasure island of Huaxia on Earth shared a ninety-nine percent similarity.

"Could this also be a coincidence?"

To solve the doubts in his heart, Facing Facing Cang Luo continued to adjust the satellite's angle to check other parts of the continent, attempting to find the reason for this situation.

Not looking was fine, but after looking, Facing Facing Cang Luo's doubts grew even greater.

Facing Facing Cang Luo discovered that this entire continent was actually assembled from the six continents of Earth excluding Antarctica.

North America and South America were located on the left side of the continent, connected to Greenland, the Eurasian continent, and Africa, except that a huge 'C'-shaped inland sea was left empty at the connection points.

Among them, the Australian continent was sandwiched between Africa and Asia; these three continents were connected very tightly, with only some tiny rivers existing.

Facing Facing Cang Luo also found the archipelago where Earth's Southeast Asian Alliance was located in the southeast of the continent, but the structure of that archipelago had undergone huge changes; Facing Facing Cang Luo looked for a long time before recognizing it.

"What on earth is going on? Isn't this dream too strange?"

Unable to find the cause, Facing Facing Cang Luo continued to adjust the focal length of the satellite camera.

As the focal length drew closer, Facing Facing Cang Luo seemed to be flying in the sky, entering the atmosphere, passing through the clouds...

Facing Facing Cang Luo felt a strange instinct driving and attracting him to zoom in on a specific location; the location attracting Facing Facing Cang Luo was the position of the former Huaxia on Earth.

As the focal length continued to draw closer, Facing Facing Cang Luo saw something incredibly familiar again, but this time it was neither a continent nor an island, but a building.

"The Great Wall; there is actually a Great Wall on this planet."

Facing Facing Cang Luo rejoiced, controlling the satellite's solar panels to dance gracefully.

The Great Wall is one of the symbols of Huaxia civilization; after Qin Shi Huang unified Huaxia, he built the Great Wall to resist external enemies, and it is the pride of all Huaxia people.

It is just that the location of the Great Wall on this continent differs from that on Earth, and the difference is huge.

The Great Wall here was built along the edge of the continent, encircling the entire continent and keeping those islands outside the wall.

Facing Facing Cang Luo did not understand; the Great Wall is used to resist enemies, so what kind of enemies would require protecting the entire continent?

Not only that, but soldiers holding long spears, long swords, and other weapons were standing guard and patrolling on the Great Wall.

As the scene moved rapidly, at regular intervals, the armor of these soldiers changed color; there were seven colors in total.

"Could it be that there are only seven countries on the continent?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo continued to move his field of view, naturally moving toward the location that attracted him.

Along the way, he saw forests, deserts, cities, pedestrians in ancient costumes, and giant wild beasts running, all coming into view.

The location attracting him grew closer and closer...

Suddenly, Facing Facing Cang Luo saw a town that seemed familiar.

Facing Facing Cang Luo exclaimed: "Is this Xuan Tian Gate? Then is this planet Yuan Wu Continent?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo remembered seeing this place when Xuan Hong grabbed him and flew in the sky; the building layout was exactly the same, and there were also young men and women in green and white robes cultivating in the square.

"Is this not a dream? Am I truly possessing a satellite to watch Yuan Wu Continent? Is this satellite my golden finger?"

Suddenly, Facing Facing Cang Luo was attracted by a middle-aged man wearing a blue-green tight outfit.

The man held a five-foot heavy sword high with both hands and was chanting something in his mouth.

However, Facing Facing Cang Luo could not hear it; this satellite seemed to lack the function of collecting sound, but the monitoring function of the camera was extremely awesome, so awesome that it could clearly see the patterns on the heavy sword in the middle-aged man's hand.

The middle-aged man began to move; only to see a three-meter-long, half-meter-wide fiery red sword qi emerge from his hands along the blade.

The sword qi, carrying the heavy sword, slashed toward the largest of the three huge stones in front of the middle-aged man.

Instantly, the huge stone with a diameter of more than two meters exploded, sending flying debris everywhere.

It was not over yet; the sword qi that had just shattered the huge stone suddenly shot out a sword qi to the left and right, shattering the two stones on both sides.

"Hiss!!!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo sucked in a breath of cold air, dumbfounded.

With such power, Facing Facing Cang Luo did not know which close-combat weapons on Earth could match it?

Tanks? Armored vehicles?

If he learned this, wouldn't he be invincible upon returning to Earth?

Wouldn't he just be a superhero?

Right, didn't Sect Master Xuan Hong say that one could become a martial artist after swallowing the Zhi Yuan Dan?

Facing Facing Cang Luo began to indulge in wild fantasies...

Just then, Facing Facing Cang Luo seemed to hear someone singing, and they were singing a pop song he was very familiar with.

Strange? Didn't the satellite not have the ability to hear sound?

Facing Facing Cang Luo could not figure it out, but the singing voice grew louder and louder...
