After that, Fangzheng took a short break in the Starlight Tower for a few days. At the same time, he took a closer look at the others.
Towa and Tolicia managed the Starlight Tower very well, and with the Pale Blue Fleet around, nothing went wrong. In fact, strictly speaking, from Crosbell's point of view, Fangzheng would only be gone for two months, so it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
In the demon hunter world, Elfin and Miao Jie seemed to be quite fond of that place. They were currently addicted to a business simulation game. According to Altina's report, they seemed to be planning to report back after achieving some results.
Of course, not all girls were as engrossed as these two. Besides, the threat level of monsters in the Demon Hunter world wasn't that high. Compared to Semulia's demonic beasts, there was no comparison at all. Therefore, the girls from the martial arts course hoped that Fangzheng could bring them to a more challenging world.
This was especially true after listening to Ling and Teo talk about the worlds they had transmigrated to with Fangzheng. Whether it was the Lord of the Rings world or the worlds where huge buildings such as space stations and monsters as large as the moon existed, the girls from the Martial Arts Department were very excited. They could not wait to explore and join in the fun.
Unfortunately, it was already the end of the year.
Apart from the students from Crossbell, all the other students had to go home for the New Year. After all, it was an annual opportunity for family reunion. Although they could pretend to study hard during the summer vacation, they could not continue to be separated from their parents at the end of the year. Therefore, Elfin, Miao Jie, Laura, Emma …. Even Leah had to go back to the Republic. Of course, she was going back mainly for the report, not the New Year.
Soon, when the end of the year came, only Ling, Teo, Chiya, Fay, Ilya, Blackie and a few others were left in the Starlight Tower.
Even Tida had gone back to the Kingdom of Libel to reunite with her family.
"Why does it feel so much more deserted all of a sudden?"
Leaning lazily on the sofa, Blackie yawned as he watched the night view of Krosberg through the floor-to-ceiling window. He said in a bored tone.
"After all, everyone's gone. We're the only ones left here …."
Tio replied nonchalantly while typing on the keyboard.
"But we also have new friends."
Ilya said as she looked at the three people on the other side. They were Qian Hu, Yuri, and Elena. Chiho and You Li's world had already been destroyed, so Fangzheng agreed to let them live in the Starlight Tower. At the same time, they could also study in Semuria Academy. After all, the two of them knew nothing about this world. If they wanted to live in this world, they still had to learn a lot of knowledge.
As for Elena, it was purely because she knew that the New Year was coming, so she decided to stay and join in the fun. It wouldn't be too late to leave after the New Year.
"Speaking of which, Blackie, what's the progress of your investigation on Ouroboros?"
Fangzheng also leaned back on the sofa. As he stroked Qiya, who was sleeping like a cat in his arms, he asked.
"Don't mention it."
It would have been better if Fangzheng had not asked, but once he did, Little Black's face immediately darkened.
"Those guys are simply rats. I almost turned the entire Semuria continent upside down, but I couldn't find them. Besides, they seem to know that we're searching for them, so they haven't been active for a long time. I also followed the clues and found some people who were in contact with Ouroboros, but they all said that they had unilaterally cut off contact with them. Even they didn't know what happened. "
"Those people aren't stupid …"
Upon hearing Little Black's answer, Fangzheng sighed. However, this was also normal. The other party was Chaos, who occupied the Goddess of Space's body. Naturally, they wouldn't give themselves away so easily.
"What's your opinion?"
"I don't think their base is on the surface. After all, I've cooperated with the Pale Blue Fleet to conduct a very precise carpet search of the entire Semuria continent's surface, but apart from some abandoned hiding places, we didn't find anything. So, I think their base should be in a very special place, either in the underground core where radar can't penetrate, or in an alternate dimension. "
"Hmm …"
Upon hearing Little Black's answer, Fangzheng nodded. He also agreed with Little Black's opinion. After all, in order to avoid the erosion of Chaos, the Goddess of Order had sealed herself in the core of a certain planet. Judging from the previous incident with the Ring of Brilliance and the Shining Demon City, the Goddess of Space of this world did have the interest of hiding buildings in alternate dimensions.
Although Fangzheng hoped that it was the former, his intuition told him that it should be the latter.
This was not a good sign for Fangzheng. After all, the Goddess of Space's hobby was decrypting secrets.
If the Chaos-contaminated doppelganger also had this hobby, it meant that Fangzheng might have to solve the puzzle, activate the mechanism, and open an alternate dimension passage to find Ouroboros' headquarters … Just thinking about it gave Fangzheng a headache.
He hated decrypting secrets the most!
It was impossible to search for objects in an alternate dimension. The difficulty of searching for objects in an alternate dimension was equivalent to randomly searching for the exact content that was currently being broadcast on the radio in your car.
Without the program schedule and the exact frequency, he could only rely on luck.
"Anyway, keep working hard."
"Just working hard? Big brother? That's not going to motivate me! "
"It doesn't matter. You just need to keep an eye on them. After the new year, I'll expand the network on a large scale and gradually expand the domain. That way, they won't be unresponsive. If they make any moves, I'll leave it to you to catch them. "
Of course, Fangzheng did not want Little Black to do useless work. Since the other party refused to show up, he would just spread the defense towers all over the map.
If he didn't even leave a single Fog of War for the other party, let's see where they can run to then.
After confirming the next strategy, Fangzheng had dinner with the girls and returned to his room to rest. Lying on the bed in his room, Fangzheng yawned in boredom while looking out the window.
He hoped to be able to contact the girls in the Tendo Temple, but Fangzheng resisted doing so because there were no benefits to doing so. It could even be said to be troublesome.
Just as the Goddess of Order once said, the Order race determined Order through "observation." It was the same for Fangzheng as the Dragon of Time. To put it simply, as long as he didn't initiate contact with the Tendo Temple and didn't observe the other side, then for Fangzheng, the time he would reunite with the girls in the Tendo Temple was an "X". An unknown number that wasn't fixed, determined, or detected.
As a result, when Fangzheng planned to return to the Tendo Temple, he could control the time gap at will. This also meant that even if Fangzheng stayed in this world for a thousand years, as long as he didn't contact the Tendo Temple, he could completely limit the time he returned to the Tendo Temple to a few months.
Because it was an "X", he could fill in any number in the "X".
But once Fangzheng contacted the Tendo Temple, the time value would be fixed, changing from "X" to "X + 1", and then to "+ 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 … …"
Coupled with the uniqueness of this world, Fangzheng had only contacted the Goddess of Order. As for the Tendo Temple, except for the trouble caused by Ying Lili, he didn't contact them again to avoid information stacking up.
If that happened, it wouldn't be so easy for him to control time.
So, Fangzheng decisively chose to focus on the cube in his hand.
"By the way, what the hell is this thing …."
Fangzheng played with the cube in his hand and frowned. The Goddess of Order didn't have any good suggestions for this. As she said, her research expertise wasn't in archaeology. You couldn't expect a physicist to excavate cultural relics. The Goddess of Space couldn't be counted on either. She didn't know anything at all and used the terracotta soldiers as a paperweight ….
Although the cube reacted to his mark, that was all. As for how to activate it, Fangzheng had no clue. Of course, Fangzheng probably had an idea about what was hidden inside. After all, when he pierced through the Hoarfrost, he had seen what was inside through the gap of the Starseed. If he wasn't mistaken, there should be a galaxy hidden inside.
If it was the Fangzheng who had just transmigrated, he would probably be scared to death, but now … he was used to it.
But this thing was really strange.
As soon as he looked away, it would immediately disappear, even if he held it in his hand. It was as if it couldn't exist unless he looked at it with his eyes. This made Fangzheng a little uneasy. After all, according to the Goddess of Order, Starseed was something that "exists upon observation". Conversely, if it wasn't observed, would it continue to exist?
Would it disappear? Or would it still exist, but not be observed?
If it was the latter, it would be fine, but if it was the former, then his shelter plan would be over. After all, something that needed constant observation to exist, or it would be destroyed and disappear. It was really meaningless.
The surface of the cube was also very strange to the touch. At first, it felt as cold and hard as plastic, but when he touched it, it felt as soft as rubber. He could even penetrate the surface with his fingers, but he couldn't feel anything inside. It was probably because he couldn't see it at all.
Because he couldn't observe it, it didn't exist.
He had to admit that this thing was really interesting.
But how should he open it?
Lying on the bed, the bored Fangzheng fiddled with the cube in his hand. Then, without thinking about anything, he instinctively injected a trace of divine power into the cube.
"Click."
But the next moment, the cube that seemed to be one suddenly split into dozens of smaller cubes and floated quietly in the air. At the same time, a galaxy shining brightly appeared inside the cubes. Countless stars twinkled to form the Milky Way, surrounding the shining star.
"It's opened? So simple? "
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng was more frightened than surprised. He still remembered that the Goddess of Order had told him that this thing was used as a blind box safe, which meant that there would be good things hidden in each Starseed.
And he hadn't washed his hands and changed his clothes yet!
If he knew it could be opened so easily, he would have burned incense, taken a bath, kowtowed to the ancestors three times, and blessed himself before opening it!
What if it turned out to be trash?
However, at this moment, something strange happened again.
"Whoosh —!!!!"
Cold air whistled in all directions, spreading to the surroundings. Then, a pitch-black greatsword appeared out of thin air in the snowstorm.
Of course, Fangzheng was no stranger to this sword. It was …
"Frostmourne?"
Looking at the Frostmourne in front of him, Fangzheng was quite surprised. But before he could say anything, the phantom of the sword flashed in the air and turned into a beautiful girl with long silver-white hair. She stood in front of Fangzheng and stared at him with a pair of blue eyes without saying a word.
"…"
Looking at the Frostmourne in front of him, then at the activated Starseed next to him, Fangzheng scratched his head.
It seems … things have become troublesome …
