The Five Elders Who Dared Not Be Presumptuous!
An hour later, the Star Gate was gone.
Watching Mihawk's bewildered departing figure, Imu revealed a satisfied smile.
But he quickly regained his composure, reverting to a calm and indifferent expression.
"It seems my approach worked quite well."
The reason he brought Mihawk to meet Star Gate this time was primarily because the latter was qualified.
After all, he was one of the Five Elders he had his eye on for the next generation.
Of course, they could be among the first to know about the Star Gate.
Secondly, it was to test the wording I had prepared on him.
Tonight, we plan to summon the Five Elders to make the initial public announcement of the Star Gate's existence.
First, let CIPHER POL officially begin selecting the first batch of intelligence agents to enter the first Star Gate.
Imu originally intended to discuss this matter with the Five Elders after the Reverie concluded.
But the longer this drags on, the stronger the curiosity becomes.
Whether it's dangerous or not, can't we just send a few CP members in to scout it out first, right?
Furthermore, he always felt a sense of destiny urging him to quickly head towards the stars and take the first step towards becoming the World Government of All Realms.
In that case, let's begin!
Meanwhile, a pensive Mihawk strode out of Pangaea Castle with a dashing air.
He then encountered Gion, who had already washed up and tidied herself up; she was clearly waiting for him.
The former stopped and calmly looked over, asking with a cool gaze, "What is it?"
"I want to become the World's Strongest Great Swordsman, so please teach me!" Gion said earnestly, bowing deeply with a determined look in her eyes.
Mihawk said calmly, "I'm not even Great Swordsman. You've got the wrong person."
There's something else he didn't say: he himself needs to return to Mary Geoise to find Lady Imu in order to break through to the Great Swordsman. Where would he find the time to teach a woman he doesn't know well?
Moreover, World's Strongest is no longer his current ambition. There are so many worlds; what's the point of being the strongest in just one?
If you're going to be one, be the strongest Great Swordsman in all realms!
"Then please spar with me once a week, I beg you!" Gion didn't straighten up, but continued to bow her head and plead very earnestly.
Mihawk watched the other person bow in silence for a moment, then stepped past Gion again, leaving behind a sound that surprised and delighted the latter.
"Six o'clock in the morning, one hour."
"Thank you so much!!"
Gion stood up, clenching her fists tightly, her gaze fixed intently on Mihawk's departing figure. She silently vowed, "I must become stronger, and then defeat you!"
Hiding in the shadows, Stussy watched this scene silently, shaking his head in bewilderment. At the same time, he asked himself, "What do I want to do?"
It was almost midnight.
That's enough for now.
Within Moon Chamber, Imu put down the unremarkable Famous Sword in his hand, the one whose name he couldn't even be bothered to remember.
Opposite him, Mihawk, pale-faced and panting heavily, barely able to support his weary body with the Black Blade Night, struggled to lift his somewhat blurry eyes and stared silently at the departing figure of the other man for a long time.
Mihawk could guess that Imu had gone to see the Five Elders, and that it was most likely related to that Star Gate. It was just a pity that he wouldn't be able to go to the other world anytime soon.
In the afternoon, he offered to be among the first to go and investigate, but Imu flatly refused.
Although the latter did not explain further, Mihawk knew that this was out of concern for him, since the safety of the first batch of personnel was completely unknown.
"Call--"
"I must reach the Great Swordsman as soon as possible. Just like what the master said before, there must be other amazing sword geniuses in other worlds. I'm still far from that level!"
"Greetings, Lord Imu!"
The five people who outwardly wielded the highest power in the world knelt in unison in the cold hall, offering their highest praise to the master of the Empty Throne.
As the atmosphere quieted down, Imu's cold, icy voice reached the ears of the Five Elders.
"The Grand Line is a sea area with extremely chaotic geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents. Ordinary navigation techniques and experience cannot be relied upon. People cannot determine their own or their target's location and constantly face the threat of extreme natural disasters and giant sea monsters."
The Five Elders listened quietly, believing that there must be a reason behind what Lord Imu said.
"If the Grand Line is like this, then the vast universe, with its billions of stars and even immeasurably high and low Star Sea, must be even more chaotic and dangerous."
"This is what Mu thought and felt seven hundred years ago."
Hearing this, the Five Elders lowered their heads and exchanged glances out of the corner of their eyes, because they did not understand what the adults meant.
"One day, Mu happened to notice the Log Pose, which could record the magnetic field between islands and use it to guide the correct direction to the next island."
"Then, is there also a Formless magnetic field between stars?"
The five people kneeling on the ground were slightly startled.
Although it seems incredibly unbelievable, it is indeed an absurd idea.
Imu's words stirred ripples in their hearts.
"After that, Mu spent four hundred years sensing the internal and external magnetism of this planet, and another three hundred years sensing the stars in the universe, searching for similar magnetic information."
"."
After hearing this, the Five Elders could no longer suppress their shock.
Subconsciously, I looked up in disbelief at that godlike, demonic figure.
What!
Sensing the planet's magnetism?
What!
It also needs to sense the magnetic fields of other stars in the universe?
If someone can do something like that, how terrifying must Lord Imu's Observation Haki be?!
But Imu seemed oblivious to their lapse in composure, continuing to speak at his own unhurried pace.
Two years ago, we finally located a star with a similar magnetic field to this planet and created an interstellar wormhole by connecting the 'Magnetic Field Route' to it, enabling instantaneous travel.
"M calls it the Star Gate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Five Elders were completely stunned, kneeling on the ground dumbfounded, or rather, processing the massive amount of information.
Imu did not urge them, but instead gave them some time.
In an instant, the dark, Empty Throne Hall returned to silence.
Until Topman Saint Topman Warcury, who was in the very center and in charge of the State Council, hesitated before asking.
"Sir, that... this Star Gate..."
Without any visible movement from Imu on the golden throne, about fifteen meters away from the Five Elders, in front of the high steps covered with a luxurious red carpet.
First, a faint blue starlight appeared, then it expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming a slowly rotating Galaxy cluster.
The star cluster then continued to expand, forming a rectangular Star Gate three meters high and two meters wide.
However, the twinkling lights quickly faded away, revealing a scene of green mountains, clear waters, and blue skies.
It's like a virtual image projected by Projection Den Den Mushi).
"Ahem, so, you mean, the other side of this Star Gate, which is what I'm seeing now, is another world?"
Holding the Shodai Kitetsu and controlling all military forces, Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro appeared extremely excited.
His entire body was trembling noticeably, and his face was flushed with excitement.
"Right."
The seemingly casual "yes" made the five people in the audience grit their teeth in frustration.
Because they dared not openly express their intense emotions in front of Lord Imu.
That's too outrageous, so I have to hold back!
A huge thank you to the Jie Geng De Gu Du for the 30,000 Qidian Coin reward and the title of Alliance Master!
A huge thank you to Nicholas Ren 6 for the 10,000 Qidian Coin reward!!!!
Speaking of which, when I saw Nicholas Ren 6's donation information in the author's backend, it showed 610,000 because your nickname had a 6 at the end. I was almost stunned at the time. Then, with trembling fingers, I clicked on it and immediately realized it was a misunderstanding (laughs and cries at the same time).
Also, as a junior author, I enjoy reading feedback. Regardless of whether I can accept it or not, I will always offer an explanation. I believe everyone has noticed that I particularly enjoy reading comments and chapter notes, and I almost always reply to them. However, I don't like being criticized for writing garbage. I will definitely fight back against such readers without any hesitation.
If you'd like to chat with me a bit more, you can join the group. Longinus and Jie Geng De Gu Du Master are both here.
