Rest and a New Beginning
Yu Xiaogang hasn't been idle these past few days. He's not only been working with Deep Blue on the Time Travel Prototype, but he's also been checking on Tang San and the others' cultivation progress. Although he claims to be in seclusion, he still needs to handle some matters through Yun Lan.
"Master, you can rest assured. Divine Sense is essentially a clone of your mind, how could you not be at ease? Moreover, the machine's feedback data is all normal. As long as the Explorer brings back the data from the other side of the door, we can compare it and modify the Time Travel Prototype to start the next round of experiments immediately. By the way, Master! The other Explorer has been assembled. When can we test it?"
"Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Once Explorer One returns, Deep Blue will immediately begin data comparison. I'm a bit exhausted. Let's get some rest, Deep Blue!"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's complaint, Deep Blue immediately flew to his shoulder and assured him that she would do something. Yu Xiaogang could only sigh. He knew his situation; without his own conscious control, his clone would definitely go wild. He hoped that Shenlan wouldn't cause any trouble.
Moreover, he hasn't had a proper rest in a long time. Although Yu Xiaogang has achieved success in his cultivation, the long hours of overtime and research, while physically and mentally manageable, have left him feeling exhausted from the depths of his soul.
"Yes, Master! Why don't you go next door and rest for a while? I'll keep an eye on things here, so there won't be any major problems! Master, don't forget what kind of background Deep Blue has. This little bit of work time is no problem at all! Back in the day, I could keep my computer running for a whole year without shutting down!"
Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched slightly. This made it sound like he used to be a heartless capitalist! Just then, the Time Travel Prototype's red light came on, and the machine began to detect spacetime signals. A moment later, a light gate opened.
Another Yu Xiaogang walked out of the space-time portal. After a burst of light and shadow, he transformed back into the simple and unadorned metal body of Explorer One. With a Yu Xiaogang, the thought attached to the Explorer 'Divine Sense returned to the Sea of Consciousness.
Hiss~ Yu Xiaogang gasped after absorbing and organizing the memories brought back by that Divine Sense thought. He hadn't expected that the Time Travel Prototype that he and Deep Blue had researched could be considered both a failure and a success. Although it couldn't travel to another world, the multiverse was pretty good too.
However, Yu Xiaogang could only swallow the bitter pill of the mess his clone had made. As for the bet with the other world, he would leave it to Tang San and his group to handle, which would also serve as a trial for Tang San and his companions.
They also revealed the parallel universe to Tang San to broaden his horizons, so he wouldn't just cause trouble in the small world of the Douluo Continent all day. However, the data collected by the Explorer was the most important thing right now, and soon Yu Xiaogang and Deep Blue began to take over and examine the data.
Yu Xiaogang soon discovered that the underlying laws of the two worlds were not much different. It could be said that the world on the other side of the door was a replica of the Douluo Continent, except that it was the original world without its own existence.
"Deep Blue, it seems we need to improve and perfect the working principle of the prototype as soon as possible. Fixing the spacetime portal is too passive. However, with the various data brought back by the Explorer this time, creating Time-Space Anchor shouldn't be a problem, right? Since there is such Parallel World, is there Parallel World in the time period of Douluo II? Deep Blue, go and rest after you're done! Tomorrow we'll start a new search for Parallel World."
"Master, leave everything here to me! Don't you trust Deep Blue's abilities? I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly!"
Deep Blue patted his chest proudly in response. Yu Xiaogang, as always, affectionately patted Deep Blue's head, gave him a few more words of advice, and then went back to rest and get a good night's sleep to recover his energy.
Lying on the bed, Yu Xiaogang began to recall what his Douluo Continent had done across the door. His feelings were quite complicated, but when he thought about his current strength, he chuckled self-deprecatingly. When did he become so timid? Yu Xiaogang quickly put these things out of his mind since they weren't important. With a thought, he accessed the latest intelligence collected by Yun Lan and began to check what his disciple Tang San had been up to lately.
After watching for a while, he smiled slightly. His disciple Tang San was becoming more and more different from the Tang San of another Parallel World. Now they were completely different people. It seemed that his years of training and discipline had been very successful. However, due to his intervention, Tang San had encountered Dugu Bo so early.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. Dugu Bo is no longer the lonely old man who went about his business alone in the original story. With Yu Xiaogang's intervention, his son and daughter-in-law, who were originally destined to die, are both alive and well. The Martial Soul Poison has also been resolved. Now he is cultivating Immortal Herb seedlings for Yu Xiaogang.
The two met after Dugu Bo entrusted the management of the herb garden to Tang San. At first, Dugu Bo felt compassion for Tang San, who was as cute as his granddaughter, doing such a thing, and doted on Tang San as if she were his granddaughter. Although he was greatly surprised when he later learned Tang San's true identity.
However, Dugu Bo soon set his sights on Tang San, since Tang San was now the disciple of Yu Xiaogang, the sect leader of the Dragon Gate Sect. He wanted to match his granddaughter Dugu Yan with Tang San, but eventually gave up after learning about Xiao Wu.
Dugu Bo could only lament that his granddaughter was unlucky to have missed out on a wealthy husband. However, he was completely impressed by Tang San's unprecedented methods of refining poison and pills. Seeing how much Dugu Bo liked to deal with poisonous snakes and herbs, Tang San called him "Old Poison".
Gradually, Tang San also gained a foothold in the Dragon Gate Sect and had people around him. Yu Xiaogang saw this but didn't care. After all, the Dragon Gate Sect was something he created on Shi Xing, and his main base was the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.
However, Yu Xiaogang is now in trouble. His self-created cultivation techniques and Soul Skill have too high requirements for cultivation. Even sect disciples need to reach the Soul Elder to cultivate on their own, unless they have Yu Xiaogang to teach them by hand and provide them with a constant supply of cultivation pills.
Now Yu Xiaogang wanted to further simplify the cultivation method, after all, he was about to go to the Shrek Academy to become an Inner Courtyard teacher. Lying on the bed, Yu Xiaogang thought about what he needed to do next. Gradually, fatigue overwhelmed his soul and consciousness, and he soon entered a deep sleep.
Deep Blue that its master, Yu Xiaogang, had entered a deep sleep, Shenlan stretched its little hands forward and moved its limbs, talking to itself while looking at the data on the screen in front of it. "Hmm... Master has finally gone to rest. Now it's my turn to show off my skills. I'll take care of these tedious data comparisons! I'll give Master a surprise after he's rested!"
Soon Deep Blue began multi-threaded operations. Under Deep Blue's control, various maintenance robots in the laboratory began to improve the data in this experiment report. Deep Blue collected, deduced, and modified various problems that occurred with Explorer One, determined to make the second unit as perfect as possible.
The new functions of the racing machine are being tested and constantly being turned on and off. The light from the opening and closing of the Space-Time Energy Wormhole is constantly flashing in the laboratory. Deep Blue has begun a new round of exploration of parallel universes.
When Yu Xiaogang woke up, he found Deep Blue fast asleep on his chest. He turned his head slightly and looked through the floor-to-ceiling glass to see that the laboratory had changed a lot. It seemed that Deep Blue had put in a lot of effort while he was asleep.
In Yu Xiaogang saw the dismantled Explorer on the workbench shelf, it seemed that Deep Blue had begun to upgrade and replace it according to the data collected. The original Time Travel Prototype had become much larger after the shell was removed, which meant that Deep Blue had added many new functions and improved it.
"You've really worked hard, Deep Blue! Get some rest!"
Perhaps Deep Blue heard Yu Xiaogang's praise and recognition, because a happy smile appeared on her sleeping face.
