To be precise, the so-called new plane was the Deep Blue World located at the center of the Pacific Ocean. It was joined by Ti City and Chan City, the two cities that formed a long and narrow search triangle.
After all, where was the new plane? Was it really a subsidiary plane of the Deep Blue World as the rumors said? Were there really Extraordinaries who had already entered and explored it? There was no proof at all.
Even so, it was impossible to dispel the thoughts of the various powers and powerful individuals who were determined to win.
"There are many people, but their minds are all on the ocean. This side is fine." Lady Halder was a bit reserved in her words. Perhaps there was even a bit of ridicule.
Yin Le answered for the specific data, "According to the information we obtained, there are at least twenty Extraordinaries participating in the three thousand kilometer journey from Ti City to the entrance to the Deep Blue World. There are nearly eight million square kilometers of sea. The Star Alliance Committee has dispatched sixty naval ships and twenty airships of the Air and Space Army to act as the search force. There are over twenty thousand people participating, and they are sparing no expense. The number of bounties and enlistments of 'social personnel' will not be less than this number. In fact, this number has dropped from the peak of last month. "
"Oh, the restless period has passed."
Lady Halder smiled, "After all, the so-called traces of Gong Qi were just a glimpse. Actually, just a plausible clue was able to shift the focus of the search from the Western Pacific Ocean to the Southern Pacific Ocean, spanning seven to eight thousand kilometers. It is quite astonishing. "
"It is a new plane after all."
"Yes.
Boundless wealth and power. "
Luo Nan didn't continue on this topic. Instead, he said goodbye, "I still have classes in Xia City. I'll be heading back first. If there are any problems, contact me at any time."
"Mr. Luo, what about tomorrow's practice?"
"I will notify you, along with the operation in Ban City."
Luo Nan's condensed water man leaped into the air with these words. The light of the water diffused into mist, and he disappeared without a trace.
Luo Nan said that he was returning to Xia City, but there were still some untruths. He didn't immediately turn around. Instead, his mind moved forward. He borrowed the evaporating water vapor on the surface of the sea and the rich environment of water molecules to lightly shake his soul cloak. He suddenly crossed a distance of two thousand kilometers and arrived at the South Pacific Ocean northwest of Ti City.
Here, Luo Nan wouldn't gather water men like he did in front of Lady Halder. This was because there were at least ten Extraordinaries in this area. Their solidified configurations in the abyss region were each guiding the storm turbulence in the abyss region, interfering with the material plane in different ways, spreading across the sky and the sea in search of clues.
Even though the ocean was vast and had a range of millions of square kilometers, a hundred warships would not even amount to a sesame seed. However, it was convenient for soul power to travel, and they could sense each other from afar, so the phenomenon of meeting each other still existed.
The soul forces of the dozen or so Extraordinaries would occasionally cross paths, but they were still considered courteous. Sometimes, they would even communicate with each other, maintaining a relatively balanced and peaceful state. At the same time, they formed a net of varying density. It looked like the gap wasn't small, but it was tight on the inside and loose on the outside. If anything were to happen, it would definitely be tightened in an instant, attracting the attention of all parties.
The Bloodflame Order's intelligence wasn't wrong, but Luo Nan knew more than they did. Over the past three to four months, his consciousness had traveled across the Pacific Ocean with the support of the Soul Cloak. Chan City, Di City, and the entrance to the Deep Blue World were all places he frequented.
In the beginning, Luo Nan still came and went from the Polar Domain for the sake of caution. He used pure observation to understand the situation. But as time passed, Luo Nan gradually developed a new method due to the demands of reality.
The water man condensed in Di City had long since collapsed into beads of water, and the water vapor merged into the ocean. However, the rules and laws that formed the water man did not disperse because of the disintegration of its external form. On the contrary, without a relatively fixed and constrained structure, its series of changes and extensions became more effective.
There was clearly an incorporeal frame within the void. It had practically completely abandoned the constraints of form. It was just a kind of structural concept. It was precisely with the insertion of this core of concept that the water vapor above and below the surface of the ocean possessed a special structural meaning on a higher level, even though it still maintained its natural form.
From Luo Nan's perspective, a condensed water man and the several thousand square kilometers of ocean surface were both carriers of the core of concept. There was no essential difference between them.
The same stream of water could be a probe for gathering information, or it could be a wire for transmitting information. It just depended on where it was located within the overall framework and what role it suited under the specific environmental conditions. As long as the core of concept didn't change, the overall framework could change according to the situation. The specific structural parts could be a probe one second and a wire the next.
In short, because of the injection of Luo Nan's core of concept, the area of the ocean he was paying attention to came to life. It became a special structural creation.
Even though it was affected by the basic structure of water molecules, the gravity of the earth, the winds and currents of the sea, the schools of water birds and fishes, and other quantitative and variable influences, with the limitations of form and the limitlessness of variables, this area of the ocean still possessed inconceivable characteristics under the control of Luo Nan's core of concept. It was an extension of Luo Nan's senses, and it could also become an enormous processing plant. All sorts of parts could be forged at any time, and different instruments could be pieced together. From multiple angles and levels, it could carry out reconnaissance, detection, guidance, and misdirection toward targets within its range.
All of Luo Nan's actions were hidden under the great background of the natural activities of the ocean. It possessed a high degree of concealment.
At the very least, the powerful people from the Star Alliance Committee, the Society, Quantum Corporation, the secret order, and other different powers did not realize that there was a youth observing, probing, and even examining them right next to them on the ebb and flow of the ocean's surface. Who would have thought that the splashing waves, the sudden torrential rain, and the blowing winds could all be sensitive sensors? They could transmit all sorts of sensitive information to a distance of over ten thousand kilometers at all times?
Luo Nan benefited greatly from the dozens of days of observation. However, the most direct harvest was the core of concept that grew increasingly refined and nimble during this process.
Luo Nan called it the core.
This was the origin of the Dynamo Core and the Psychic Core of the virtual brain system. It was the system's fundamental method of using simplicity to control complexity, using less to control more.
Luo Nan was able to gain this comprehension thanks to Mrs. Halder. It was this woman's extreme tempering that allowed Luo Nan to realize that the core consciousness of humans could be tempered to such a degree.
Luo Nan was not as extreme as Mrs. Halder, but he possessed a pure concept that was constructed from the Formatting Principles. With this as a foundation, Luo Nan tempered and forged it through countless configurations. Then he applied it in the dense sea region of Extraordinaries, gradually forming a unique Luo Core that belonged solely to Luo Nan. Luo Nan could be considered to have truly crossed the threshold of the virtual brain system in terms of configuration thinking.
Yes, this should be the true face of Luo Nanchi.
The image of Luo Nan projected in the hearts of others needed to be stirred by the Luo Nanchi and installed with the corresponding chip. Only then could it become material that Luo Nan could control. Only then would it truly have meaning for Luo Nan.
Of course, the current Luo Zhixin and Luo Nanchi were still far from their final forms. They had only absorbed the side of laws and rules. Emotions and desires were practically uncontaminated. They could only be used purely on the material plane.
It would have been fine in the past, but Luo Nan could see the results of Mrs. Halder's hard work and the large fireball that was wantonly scattering light and heat in the polar domain. It was impossible for Luo Nan to ignore it. But he still didn't have a clue as to how to add this kind of power to it.
Right now, Luo Nan's work was not the focus of Luo Nan's work. Gong Qi, who was becoming more and more of an influential figure, was the focus.
Speaking of which, Gong Qi was trapped in the cloud world. Wasn't it all thanks to Luo Nan that he was able to stir up a storm?
Only after confirming that everything in the relevant sea region was normal did Luo Nan's consciousness truly return. He went through a great shuttle, breaking through the barrier of space and time, and entered the cloud world.
The torrential sea of clouds surged with waves. Blood red rays of light penetrated through the gaps in the clouds. It was impossible to see the edge of the light, and it even blurred everything up and down. Luo Nan didn't care about the direction. He borrowed the soul cloak to quickly lock onto his key target. It was that old man Gong Qi who had been very active recently.
If converted to Chan City's time, it was April 21st right now. It was a weekend off. Gong Qi had been exploring with Snake Tongue for two consecutive days, searching for the ultimate mysteries of the cloud world.
Both of them were in a soul body state. It was just that after half a year of grinding and dissipating, the difference between them was extremely obvious.
Gong Qi's body burned with spiritual light. It was bright and resplendent, making him seem like a god. Snake Tongue, on the other hand, was shrouded in a thin layer of mist. Her radiance was not obvious, and she was nearly transparent. She was mixed in with the surrounding clouds and could be drowned out at any time.
In fact, Snake Tongue's soul body had already shrunk by more than two sizes. She followed behind Gong Qi, looking more like a legendary 'back spirit'. She cast a gaze filled with resentment ahead, not concealing it at all.
It was as if Gong Qi didn't feel anything. In fact, he didn't care at all.
Half a year was enough to obliterate all promises, to shatter all hopes.
Snake Tongue still remembered the day she was thrown into this strange world. It was October 25th, 2096.
At this moment, 180 days were about to be gathered.
She went from the panic of being trapped here alone to the pleasant surprise and vigilance of Gong Qi crossing through space. Then came the days and nights of exploration and attrition. Her mood was synchronized with the state of her soul body. It continued to weaken, almost irreversibly.
Her fleshly body, which was stored in Ban City, was about to reach the limit of the advanced life support system. According to the established procedures, a freezing operation would be carried out next to preserve her last shred of hope... However, with the degree of weakness of her soul body, what hope would there be even if she returned?
What was the value of her existence now?
