Chapter 245: Next Volume

In an instant.

The white-haired girl immediately grew vigilant.

The youth before her showed no surprise at her sudden appearance, still walking over with a hearty smile.

Not even pausing his steps.

—What's going on?

—Who is he?

A thought flashed through her mind, and her vigilance rose to its peak, even though the youth opposite appeared completely non-threatening on the surface.

His aura was flat, without any sense of power, handsome and gentle.

Basically just like that.

Judging by appearance alone, one might think he was some noble scion, of an especially highborn, exalted lineage.

Hence able to live in comfort and privilege, with such fair skin and hands.

At least Ciri, having just arrived in this world and not yet had time to experience its local customs, subconsciously thought this way according to her own common sense.

Even so, she still maintained extremely high vigilance.

Watching the youth continue walking toward her, drawing ever closer, his face still wearing that expression, not speaking.

The white-haired girl's heart was completely tensed; she decisively gritted her teeth and opened a Transmission Gate again in an instant.

—The timing was very skillful.

—Exactly the next nanosecond after choosing the door-opening timing in the previous Cycle.

Everything was calculated to perfection.

Xia Zhi followed very calmly; during this period, he would always have an Avatar guarding the Hiliri Flight, so he had already tried this countless times.

Ancient Blood, Door of All Worlds.

The specific mysteries were still unclear, but as a Dedicated Navigator, Ciri was undoubtedly extremely qualified.

She could open a Transmission Gate instantly, ensuring arrival in a new World.

Although this was completely random, only God knew what World it would lead to, and she didn't know either, so even going home had to be left to luck.

However.

After falling into a fixed Cycle, this drawback seemed to no longer be a drawback.

Just as some games have so-called "Star Gazing," using the SL Method to predict the Item Sequence one will obtain in the future, then saving and loading, to utilize such patterns.

Xia Zhi was very satisfied with this; currently he was at this step of exploring the Sequence.

Until now, after that world of Great God Haruhi, he had already explored over a thousand different World Coordinates.

Ciri, without her knowing, had "first meetings" with him again and again, and opened Transmission Gates again and again.

To be honest, not every Coordinate had value and harvest, and what lay opposite the Transmission Gate was not necessarily a World worth developing and exploring.

Of course, it might also be that his horizons had risen, and he no longer thought much of most Worlds.

Those ordinary Worlds, if they did not immediately show enough peculiarity and display due value, then in his view...

Even the meaning of travel did not exist.

At most just record the Coordinate, after all, who knows when establishing a Dimension Base in another World might come in handy?

This possibility was not nonexistent.

"Begin recording—"

Casually issuing a command to Huifeng, Xia Zhi unhurriedly stepped into the light of the Transmission Gate within his own Time Frame, just right.

………………

Light—

Endless light—

In a microsecond, time, space, and lines were all disintegrating—

………………

One could only say that each time brought a new sensation, but each time he could not truly fathom the mysteries of Spacetime.

After what seemed an incredibly long yet incredibly short instant, Transmigration was completed, and the unknown Dimension slowly unfolded in his perception.

"Hmm?"

Xia Zhi raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised as he surveyed the scene before him.

It seemed to be a School?

It looked rather ordinary; from afar, the first to third floors were all kinds of Classrooms, just a normal Campus configuration.

Students in School uniforms were coming and going in the Campus, chatting and laughing, a lighthearted daily atmosphere, not noticing this side, nor noticing his sudden appearance.

But the atmosphere of the space was still somewhat strange.

Xia Zhi instinctively perceived that this was an existence similar to an Otherworldly Dimension, not just the School before him, but this World as well.

The moment he entered this World, he had already discovered it through extremely keen environmental perception and Insight.

—After all, some lifeforms can only change themselves to adapt to the Environment;

—while some lifeforms can force the Environment to change to adapt to themselves.

If not for consciously suppressing the power of "Crystal Valley," then Xia Zhi merely existing could remake the World into an environment suitable for his habitation.

The invasion of Alien Landscapes, the loopholes of Alien Order, were powers that could shake the materiality of the Reality World and permanently alter Physical Rules.

In this strange Otherworldly Dimension, this power was likewise fully interpreted and expressed.

Just at this moment—

"Master, this is a Virtual Spirit Child World..."

Huifeng's voice sounded beside him.

"Everything is composed of information, processed by basic operations of some unknown computer."

"Oh?"

Xia Zhi raised an eyebrow. Virtual Spirit Child World?

"I'm sorry, current preliminary analysis can only confirm this place is the Moon's Inner Side, SE. RA. PH, but only basic tags……"

Huifeng's tone also simulated a hint of caution.

"More information is encrypted; I need some time, unless we choose violent cracking, but that might alert the operator of this Virtual Spirit Child World……"

"No rush——"

Xia Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and decisively made a decision.

"We've just arrived and don't understand anything yet; it's best not to act rashly……"

He paused slightly, as if seriously thinking, and as if surveying the campus scenery before his eyes and the entire space behind it.

"Anyway, be cautious first, try to figure out exactly what's going on before anything else……"

"Understood." Huifeng decisively accepted the command, then fell silent.

As if carefully beginning to attempt to obtain more information, decrypt more intelligence, and starting to devote the main threads and computing power to this aspect.

Xia Zhi didn't speak either, showing enough patience.

He quickly surveyed the surroundings, saw a few students seemingly walking this way, turned around directly, and left in quick steps.

Moon's Inner Side? SE. RA. PH?

This really sounds familiar.

The moment he heard these keywords, he had already completed a search in his mind and matched the answer.

After all, Mash Kyrielight had long been figured out by him, with no secrets at all——

So information about that Singularity "Deep Sea Computer Paradise" had also been mentioned.

By rights, Xia Zhi actually wasn't very interested in that already-repaired Singularity, after all only Ryoguchi Kyo, that Beast's Juvenile Form, was worth a look.

As for the rest, there really wasn't anything special.

But now……

"To take over Huifeng's account in an instant, treat Gray Gu's firewall as nothing—either computing power is off the charts, or technique is off the charts……"

This naturally aroused Xia Zhi's interest and high regard.

After all, even the terminal carried by this Avatar of his hadn't truly unfolded yet, and he had to admit Huifeng's technical prowess was not to be underestimated.

He decisively did not expose that strange AI impersonating Huifeng.

Instead, he went along with the other party, pretending not to have noticed.

He thought this world had problems and was worth exploring, seemingly not the Singularity Mash Kyrielight had experienced, but more like a prototype……

Perhaps that Singularity Mash Kyrielight went through wasn't of great value.

But she herself hadn't realized the deeper secrets involved?

Xia Zhi thought so, searching his mind several times, but found no more useful clues.

Because that strange Singularity experienced by Chaldea's Master Lady didn't have many decryption elements.

More was a sense of crisis where every second counted.

But it didn't matter; he had already come here now, whatever secrets there were, they could eventually be unraveled slowly like peeling a cocoon.

Slightly sensing the activity of the Nano Intelligence he carried, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

For now, let's play along with this unknown AI Lady (dubious).

——————

——————

A Copy naturally wouldn't be just the next one.

Especially when possessing the highest-level Avatar Technique and able to multitask, it was even more impossible to adopt such an inefficient method.

After all, even brick-moving in studios knows you definitely need to open multiple Small Accounts to be the way.

So Xia Zhi naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

He was well utilizing the Cycle to farm Copy Sequences, ensuring every Cycle would open a Copy, then dispatch "Past Xia Zhi" to personally explore.

For greater interests, Ciri Lady had to suffer a little wrong.

To be honest, it wasn't really a wrong; anyway she couldn't escape the Cycle now, every day was a brand new day.

Every Cycle.

Every Copy.

Xia Zhi would "personally" go to complete preliminary confirmation for each; those with no value or special features were just recorded, then the Avatar dispersed.

And if there was one with enough value, a New World that caught his interest, naturally the B Plan would be launched directly, letting the Avatar dive into exploration.

After all, Avatar and Main Body were of equal level, were Past Reincarnation Bodies, and carried Nano Intelligence terminals……

Called a scout, actually Configuration was luxurious, could completely set up a base on the spot……

This was simply the Configuration of a Dimensional Invader.

After stepping out of the Transmission Gate's light once more, a youth in white surveyed the Surroundings, habitually somewhat listless, just short of yawning.

But just at the Next Moment——

"Huh?"

His movement stiffened slightly, looking toward this Heaven and Earth with slight Surprise.

The extent of Pangea's overflow……

Why did it feel so contradictory……

He could clearly feel that the primordial Devil power permeated every inch of space, every inch of matter, from air to stone, all soaked in it.

But it was as if it were completely inactive, as though fused into a single whole with the entire Material World, making it very difficult to easily mobilize.

If his Qi Passages had not already been completed, perhaps upon arriving in this World at the First Time, he might have made an Error in judging this World's magical Environment.

What situation?

Xia Zhi instantly became interested; the thought of just taking a routine glance and leaving was also swiftly changed.

He continued Suppressing the "Crystal Valley's" passive, while simultaneously opening his perception of the Environment, his Divine Sense searching through Heaven and Earth inch by inch.

The Next Moment——

He looked in a certain Direction as if Detecting something, directly taking a step out, Disappearing into the air.

"Who goes there?!"

"Halt!"

An imposing angry shout rang out, closely followed by a directly murderous killing intent.

The youth appeared at the gate of a Village, and Naturally triggered the alert at the First Time; on those dilapidated village houses behind the gate, quite a few small Creatures poked their heads out.

The leader of the short things had a fierce light in its eyes, aiming the Crossbow in its hand from a commanding height at the area below.

"You'd better give me a reason not to kill you immediately!"

Xia Zhi quickly Casually Scanned once, and in the moment their gazes met he also read these Creatures' Wavelengths, instantly smiling faintly.

He spread his hands, indicating he had no Malice: "Rest Assured, I come for friendship——!!"

"Mmph! Come for friendship……"

Those small Creatures, the moment his gaze swept over them, all went into a Trance for a moment, as if Easily Persuaded, believing such a statement.

The ugly Creature in the lead Subconsciously lowered its weapon: "You…… you come for the Supreme True God's friendship?"

"Of Course, no one can Destroy my friendship with the Supreme True God."

The Magic User said with a determined face.

"Even if it is the Supreme True God itself."
