Although he had told Li Dawei that he was going to Australia, Lin Qingyu did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in Jiangnan Base City for three days, guiding Luo Feng in the use of Origin Force and Mental Power. After that, he returned to Kyoto Base City for another week. Only after reporting to Jia Yi and receiving his parents' approval did he set off for Australia.
After all, he intended to remain in Australia for quite a long time this trip.
Because monsters ran rampant, most of Earth's "customs checkpoints" were now actually located within Base Cities.
Councillor level experts, or top-tier Mental Masters like Lin Qingyu, could cross the gaps between continents through their own strength.
Of course, experts had limited Origin Force, and their flight speed was not necessarily faster than a fighter jet flying at full speed. Therefore, not all experts enjoyed traveling alone.
There were not many like Lin Qingyu, who was both a Mental Master and possessed a Mental Power Weapon, allowing him to maintain several times the speed of sound for extended periods.
"Australia Continent isn't small. Finding the Mist Island where Bata is located really will be difficult." Lin Qingyu stood on a wilderness plain and sighed.
Since the Great Nirvana, Australia's plants and animals had begun growing wildly. Central Australia had originally been desert, but the deserts were now gone, entirely replaced by forests filled with enormous numbers of monsters.
Australia Continent had many monsters, and thus many King level monsters. It was one of the world's publicly acknowledged "three great danger zones."
"Let me think about Mist Island's characteristics." Lin Qingyu looked over the surrounding wilderness and began considering how to find Mist Island.
"According to the information in the Original work, Mist Island is around 260 kilometers from a mountain range and sits in the middle of a large lake. This lake is enormous, spanning a hundred li in every direction." Lin Qingyu looked at the map. "Let's first check out these targets captured by satellite."
Lin Qingyu was extremely fast. Flying at several times the speed of sound allowed him to traverse the entire Australia Continent in a short time.
Moreover, Lin Qingyu's luck was not bad. After arriving at the second target he had selected, he discovered that the entire lake was covered by seemingly endless thick fog.
"Thick fog and a lake. I finally found it." Lin Qingyu looked at Mist Island before him and smiled happily.
Then, standing atop his Mental Power Weapon, he flew directly across the lake and into Mist Island.
There were quite a few Lord level monsters in the lake surrounding Mist Island. On the island itself, there were also some Spirits of Plants and Trees because Bata had scattered Wood Crystals to cultivate the Moyun Vine.
However, none of them could pose any obstacle to Lin Qingyu.
He did not even use his Domain as he crossed the lake and entered Mist Island.
I still don't feel any summons. Do I need to display more of my strength? Lin Qingyu pondered.
When Luo Feng first entered Mist Island, he had not been summoned by Bata either. At that time, he was merely an ordinary Invincible War God—Ninth stage of the apprentice level—and was not a member of Yunmo Star. Naturally, he had not caught Bata's attention.
However, Lin Qingyu was now a Mental Master comparable to the Planetary level, and he was very confident in his own Brain Domain Capacity. Yet he still had not received Bata's summons, which left him somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that I need to visit Ancient Civilization Relic No. 9 first and obtain the status of a Yunmo Star member? Lin Qingyu wondered.
He did not know that while he was pondering this, 15,000 meters underground, inside the Meteorite Star, Bata was also staring anxiously at the surveillance feed.
"Damn! Damn! Damn! This is insane, insane! What kind of monster is this guy? The basic detector measured his Brain Domain Capacity at 2500 and directly threw an error. I had to use a high-grade detector to determine that his actual Brain Domain Capacity is 50. He must be one of those individuals Boss once mentioned, whose Life Gene Level surpasses that of ordinary humans. But a Brain Domain Capacity of fifty at the Apprentice level—even when Yunmo Star was still around, there weren't many this extraordinary. And what the hell is up with his will? Even hints capable of influencing Star level experts, or even the weakest Universe Level experts to a certain extent, are completely useless against him! His body and Sea of Consciousness are only at the Apprentice level, right? With a will this strong, it can't have reached the Immortal-grade, can it? An Apprentice level expert with an Immortal-grade will? Th-this, if that's real, then the laws governing the Universe must be a joke!"
Bata's projection paced anxiously back and forth at the entrance of the Meteorite Star.
The Life Gene Levels of Earth's humans were not high. Even if he went to great lengths to nurture them, he only dared guarantee that they could reach the World Lord level. And a World Lord level expert had virtually no chance of avenging his master.
But this being was different! His Life Gene Level far surpassed that of ordinary humans. According to Bata's calculations, it was even stronger than the peak bloodline of a Star Beast!
Together with Bata's training and the resources left behind by his master, this person had a very high chance of becoming Undying.
And a being with such an extraordinarily high Gene Level would immediately become a powerhouse among the Undying upon breaking through. He might even stand shoulder to shoulder with Bata's former master, greatly increasing the possibility that he could avenge him.
The moment Bata detected Lin Qingyu, he had been as thrilled as someone who had won five million in the lottery.
After all, the odds of encountering an Apprentice level being comparable to a Special Lifeform were far lower than the odds of winning the lottery with a single ticket.
However, after Bata discovered that even his hints could not stir the slightest ripple in Lin Qingyu's consciousness, his mentality changed from that of a lucky lottery winner to that of an unlucky fool who won the lottery but forgot to claim the prize until after it had expired.
"Tsk, such high talent and such a Gene Level. Fine. At worst, I'll spend some resources. I originally planned to use them to attract Earth's other experts, but with Lin Qingyu, the others aren't important anymore." After thinking it over, Bata made his decision.
Thus, he began preparing a plan to lure Lin Qingyu before the Meteorite Star.
On the surface, Lin Qingyu circled Mist Island once. Yet he still did not sense any guidance.
Could it be that my will is too strong for Bata to influence me? Lin Qingyu thought to himself.
With an Immortal-grade will, coupled with the foundation it had gained through fusing with his body, if one disregarded the oppressive force of consciousness strength and considered only illusions or Willpower Impacts, then even illusions capable of disrupting World Lords could not interfere with him.
This is troublesome. I can't exactly take the initiative and reveal that I know about the Meteorite Star. Lin Qingyu felt somewhat vexed.
Bata and Huyan Bo had been hunted all the way to Earth, and Demon Hand King, who had killed Huyan Bo, was still alive and well. Thus, Bata did not dare expose himself. A "native" like Lin Qingyu, who had been born and raised on Earth and whose background was completely known, could still earn Bata's trust.
But if Lin Qingyu revealed that he knew some information about the Universe, or even that he knew about the Meteorite Star, Bata would certainly not be at ease.
Perhaps Bata lacked the ability to kill Lin Qingyu, but Lin Qingyu would absolutely be unable to obtain the Meteorite Star anytime soon.
Lin Qingyu, still considering how to find Bata, had no idea that Bata was also troubled over how to guide him into the Meteorite Star.
The two of them were like a pair of lovers secretly in love with each other. Both clearly wanted to confess their feelings, yet neither could find a good way to do so.
