Chapter 201: Void Worm, Walking Upon Jupiter
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“This is...”
Ling Jiu and Bai Ya’s eyes widened as a massive cave appeared before them.
But the cave was filled with various furnishings, including strange-looking beds, tables, chairs, and clothes made out of bizarre scales.
Everything in it was completely different from the style back on Earth. This was obviously used by the humanoid creature nad Mosal the Pioneer.
In addition, what attracted the two the most was a ball with a diater about 4 ters placed on the left side of the cave.
It was made out a special alloy, with a round transparent glass in the middle, looking sowhat similar to the spherical spaceships Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz rode to Earth in the Dragon Ball ani.
Ling Jiu walked to the front of the sphere and ignored the outer wall as he entered its interior.
The interior layout was very simple, a panel with a simple keyboard, and a bow-shaped reclining chair. Aside from those, there was nothing left.
“Is that really a spaceship?”
Ling Jiu murmured for a mont before waving his hand and putting the sphere into his Dinsional Ring as he planned to let 9527 take a look at it later.
“Ling Jiu, co here. What is this?” Bai Ya suddenly called for him.
Ling Jiu turned his head and saw Bai Ya staring at sothing similar to an incubator. Through the transparent outer wall, they saw a fat and white, giant maggot lying quietly inside it.
It was indeed similar to a white maggot dug out from the ground, but it was much larger and fatter at more than two ters long. Aside from that, there was nothing special about it.
“What is this? Is it the child of that humanoid creature?”
Ling Jiu was puzzled, and he used the Arcana Replication to sense the Arcana information of the big white maggot. The results that ca out shocked him.
Na: Grumble
Race: Void Worm
Arcana: Space Devourer (Awakened), Dinsional Barrier (Awakened), Wormhole Creation (Awakened)
“Space Devourer?”
“Dinsional Barrier?”
“Wormhole Creation?”
Ling Jiu was astonished. “There’s such a lifeform? Are you kidding ?”
In Ling Jiu’s imagination, wormholes were ‘space tunnels’ that exist in the universe, or were naturally created from the universe’s evolution.
They could also be creation from civilization like the Essians who had created the peak of technology and had great expertise in the domain of space.
Or, maybe, they were creation of a terrifying being who had cultivated to an extrely powerful level!
But Ling Jiu could never have imagined that a seemingly ordinary-looking bug could create a wormhole, and that simply subverted what Ling Jiu had known.
Of course, after Ling Jiu was shocked for a mont, what followed was excitent! This bug had the Arcana to create wormholes, and he could replicate it!
Although he had mastered the Dinsion Arcana, he could only at most create tiny space tunnels.
To create wormholes between planets and galaxies was simply just a pipedream.
He might be able to pull that off in the future, but for now, it was nothing but a dream.
So, if he replicated the ability to create wormholes...
The picture was so beautiful that Ling Jiu dared not imagine it!
“Let’s take it with us!”
Ling Jiu waved his hand and put the incubator containing the giant void worm into his ring, and he planned to look for 9527 to study it later.
Finally, Ling Jiu could not help but to look at a large rock of glass that stood at the innermost part of the cave.
Let’s call it a glass for now.
Because it really did look like a layer of glass.
It was transparent as it hung silently in the innermost part of the cave, and on the opposite side of the glass was a world full of water.
It had separated the water world from this cave, dividing them into the world on this side, and the world on the otherside.
From where Ling Jiu was standing, it looked like a fish tank, or an aquarium where he could enjoy view of water, fishes, dolphins, rmaids through the thick glass wall...
In all, this was a very amazing layer of glass!
Ling Jiu stretched his hand out and carefully touched the layer of glass. And the result was... the glass actually rippled before his hand passed through, just like how he walked through the mountain wall earlier.
“This is also a... barrier?”
Ling Jiu looked at Bai Ya, as the both of them had an incredulous expression on their faces.
After that, Ling Jiu pulled his hand back and found that his hand was wet.
“What’s beyond the barrier... is actually water?”
Bai Ya also stretched her hand in, and carefully perceived for a mont before saying slowly. “The water temperature is not low, but the water pressure should be very scary.”
Bai Ya took out a device from her Dinsional Pocket to detect pressure and put it into the world opposite the ‘glass’, and soon, the results ca back.
But it left Bai Ya speechless.
“What’s wrong?”
Ling Jiu asked.
“The water on the opposite side... it’s very deep!”
Bai Ya took a deep breath. “If the water pressure sensor is not wrong, then the water on the other side is almost 100 kiloters deep!”
“100...100 kiloters?”
Ling Jiu shuddered. “You gotta be kidding? How is there a water so deep?”
It was not that Ling Jiu was kicking up a fuss, but the water level was really just too deep.
The average ocean depth was about 3,795 ters, and the deepest Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean was 11,034 ters deep.
,795m = 3.795 km.
11034m = 11.034 km.
3 kiloters!
11 kiloters!
100 kiloters!
There was no comparison at all!
“I don’t know!”
Bai Ya shook her head slightly “But the water pressure sensor will not lie.”
Ling Jiu could not help but to gasp. “That is to say, the world beyond this barrier is an aquatic world that has a hundred kiloter deep ocean?”
“It’s very possible.”
Bai Ya’s voice was calm.
“If that’s the case, it’ll be very incredible.”
Ling Jiu’s shock was even more amplified, and could only say sothing after a long while. “Bai Ya, we may have very well run into a massive discovery!”
“If what’s opposite this glass is a planet, that ans this planet has a ocean that is at least 100 kiloters deep!”
Bai Ya gasped. “I cannot imagine at all what sort of world that planet would be!”
“How about... we go and have a look?”
Ling Jiu licked his lips.
“That’s... a bad idea, no?”
Bai Ya was a little hesitant. “We know nothing of the world on the opposite side. If there is so incomparably scary monsters there, won’t barging in like this ans our death? Also, the ocean there is vast, if we get lost...”
The unknown was always scary!
Especially when the opposite side was an incredibly deep ocean world!
“There’s no worry about getting lost. I’ve left a Dinsional Marker here, as long as we do not stray too far away, I can sense it.”
Ling Jiu laughed. “The only fear is there are lifeforms stronger than level 10, and that will be an headache.”
“Let’s leave.”
Bai Ya shook her head. “Let’s report everything here back to the camp and leave the exploration to them. Better not risk ourselves.”
“There’s no need to rush to report it first!”
Ling Jiu smiled. “At least until I’ve explored the place!”
“Are you really going in?”
Bai Ya raised her eyebrows as she quietly bit her lips for a while before lowering her head to say. “There may be danger in it, I-I-I don’t want you to go in!”
“You’re worried about ?”
Ling Jiu smiled and looked at Bai Ya.
“W-W-Who is worried about you!”
Bai Ya was blushing up to her ears. “Don’t think too much! I was just... was just...”
“Don’t need to explain, I understand!”
Ling Jiu sniggered as he suddenly stretched his arms out to carry Bai Ya before jumping headlong into the ‘glass’.
“AH—!!”
Bai Ya scread and then went into the ocean world on the opposite side with Ling Jiu.
*BAAAMMM!!*
A terrifying pressure squeezed his body and thankfully Ling Jiu reacted in a tily manner as he ford a dinsional barrier using his Dinsion Arcana, isolating them from the frenzied pressure of the sea water and protecting the two.
“Ling Jiu, what are you doing?”
Bai Ya glared at Ling Jiu.
“Heh!”
Ling Jiu smirked. “You actually wanted to explore this world, right?”
“I...”
Bai Ya took a deep breath in. Everyone had a thirst for knowledge, and she was certainly no exception, not to ntion there was a 100 kiloter deep ocean world.
She of course wanted to explore it.
“If you want to, then co with !”
Ling Jiu smiled and then turned around. As this was the deep sea, everything was dark, a complete world in darkness.
There was no sky above.
No land beneath.
No sunlight.
No references.
Nor could he see his own five fingers.
The most outrageous thing was:
The planet’s gravity seed to be very miniscule, and the buoyancy of the sea water had completely offset it,. Therefore, any ordinary person coming here would definitely get lost!
Should he swim upwards or downwards?
It was not an exaggeration to say that this was like outer space with no concept of top, bottom, front or back. Anyone in this spot would certainly get lost.
But this did not faze Ling Jiu, after carefully sensing the fluctuation of space, he took Bai Ya as they darted all the way to the ocean above.
Ten minutes later, the two ca to the surface of the ocean, and by normal logic, they should be able to see the sky once they were at the ocean’s surface.
But this was...
This was completely not the case at all!
A hard layer of material appeared above his head, and Ling Jiu observed for a mont and instantly knew that it was ice. The surface of the ocean was covered with a thick layer of ice.
What does this an?
“This ans, that this planet is either very cold, or we are at one of the polar points of the planet.” Bai Ya said slowly.
“Yeah, that.”
Ling Jiu nodded and continued upwards. The Dinsion Arcana was handy as he did not need to cut through the ice and simply just went through it.
As they went all the way upwards, it took about ten minutes for them to successfully pierced through the ice layer, and ca to the world above the ice.
“The thickness of that ice is at least 20-30 kiloters!”
Ling Jiu marveled at it before taking Bai Ya together with him onto the ice.
As he looked over, the place was almost all covered in ice, and the surface was equally flat, like an completely endless ice field.
But there were no snow on the ice, not a single drop of snow, but the surface of the ice field was covered in a thin layer of pale yellow material.
Ling Jiu gave it a taste, and it was salty with a bit of bitterness, seemingly so sort of salt-like substance.
At the sa ti, there were nurous cracks on the ice field. This was not surprising as any ice field would be covered in cracks.
He then looked at the sky again.
The sky was dark, just like the nights back on Earth on the fifteen to sixteenth day of the solar calendar, where the moon was full.
“Ling Jiu, look over there!”
Bai Ya suddenly exclaid.
Ling Jiu looked up and saw a huge ‘moon’ hanging across the skyline with dark alternating red, brown, white colours across it.
The most eye-catching thing was that the giant moon had a bright red spot on its surface.
“This is...”
