After the tedious affairs of plane expansion were over, Ian had some free time before setting off. He went to inspect the research progress on the Quantum Realm, and at the same time paid a visit to Scholar Race. The people of Scholar Race both loved and hated him.
The knowledge they have acquired over the past few years is enough to keep them laughing in their sleep. Unfortunately, lengthy negotiation processes often ruin their good moods.
After that, Ian checked the status of Bones Council. All affairs were progressing smoothly and there were basically no problems.
His management style allows his variants to work together while keeping their innermost secrets. Over the past few years, Empire has benefited greatly from leveraging the resources of Council.
At the same time, Ian is faced with a problem that needs to be solved, that is, how to prevent his variants from contacting other planes. He does not know whether the variants from Multiverse entering Astral Realm will cause trouble. At present, everything is normal with the gods.
In any case, he is not ready to deal with this problem - at least not yet. Therefore, the main problem he faces in Council is dealing with those variants that are about to master the plane travel technology. The thing about Luck is that the time is relatively short, and there are not many such variants.
Ian is worried about those variants that have mastered this technology without joining Council. After all, Multiverse is vast and full of endless variables and opportunities.
"One last thing," Ian murmured and closed his eyes. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes with a smile. "Everything is going smoothly."
Not long ago, he finally received news from the spies sent to infiltrate the Purple-Robed Daoist home planet. At present, everyone is safe and undetected, and the first step of the infiltration plan has been completed.
The next step is to forge a credible identity and attract the attention of Zipao. After that, he can sneak into the opponent's Samsara Hall and dismantle it from the inside.
"I didn't expect it took them so long to contact us," Morgana commented. "The time difference between universes is really fascinating."
"Indeed, one day we have to study this phenomenon carefully. Anyway, as long as everything goes well. Now I just need to worry about how long it will take him to fully control that Divine Artifact."
"It's useless to worry about this. Let's just focus on the task at hand."
"Well, then, are you ready?" Ian asked.
"Ready, I have prepared all the items we need and updated my database, which contains all the development results of the Empire in the past 20 years."
"In that case, we won't waste time."
He first went to meet Olivia and spent a passionate night with her before setting off. She would also travel to many worlds like him, but her purpose was to become an excellent commander. Then, Ian went to meet his aunt, and then entered [Netheril] and set off.
He had promised Albion that he would take him with him on his next voyage, so he kept his promise. However, in order to prevent trouble, he locked the dragon in the room and prevented him from seeing what was going on outside.
"Is everything ready?" Ian asked.
"Yes, we have obtained the coordinates."
"Then let's go."
Ian heard a sound, and then everything around began to shake violently, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred. Luck What's more, this process only lasted a few seconds and then stopped.
"What happened?" he asked. Morgana did not answer immediately, but stared at a small screen in front of him.
"We hit something on the shuttle."
"Why is our luck so bad? Or is it that Void is different from before?"
"Not sure, but fortunately everything is normal. We did not encounter any creatures or suffer any damage."
"That's good. Have we reached our destination?"
"Arrived."
"Then let's get started."
Floating City entered the world in stealth mode. In an instant, Ian appeared on a blue planet - the outside of the earth. Morgana immediately released Wizard's Eye to scan the planet. On the surface, it was just an ordinary Modern Earth.
Unless you delve into its history.
A screen appeared in front of Ian, which displayed the history of this planet. He read about all the alien invasions that this small planet had experienced, as well as the weird historical trajectories in the past.
"It's hard to pinpoint which one we're dealing with," Morgana said. "The trouble is he's not here, and we don't know where in time he is. Tracking him is going to be a headache -- unless you're blatantly using your Law of Time."
"It is unwise to use this method against a being of that level," Ian shook his head. "How well does Floating City adapt to this law of the universe?"
"Just barely," Morgana replied. "There is a powerful force here that repels all magic and magic. I have isolated its influence with Void Shield and switched our system to pure technology mode."
"Will there be any problems?"
"Our technological level is not as good as the magic level, so we can only achieve 80% effectiveness at the moment."
"This is better than I expected."
"Thanks to the legacy of Techno-Wizard, the knowledge from Council and Scholar Race, and our own efforts, we have made great strides in technology."
Ian nodded.
"So, what should we do next?" Morgana asked.
"First let ourselves adapt to the environment here. Then, send a signal that only he can understand and will come immediately. We don't want to stay on Earth."
Floating City flew to a distant galaxy. A few days later, it sent out a signal scattered throughout the space-time continuum, and then waited. Less than a week later, a blue police box appeared outside.
"Are you sure this is the place this time?" a female voice asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" a male voice with a playful tone asked. "Look outside."
"Is that a city floating in space? Why did it become like that? What happened to it, and why did it send out a distress signal?"
"That's why we're here," the man said without concealing his excitement. "Let's go."
The blue police box flew towards the dilapidated city and found an open space to land. After a few seconds, two people walked out of it: a woman in black and a young man in a bow tie.
As soon as the two took a few steps, the surrounding environment began to tremble slightly. Immediately afterwards, the dilapidated city returned to its original vibrant appearance.
"What happened?" the woman asked.
"I don't know," the young man said, holding up a short metal stick and waving it around.
"This thing belongs to me," a voice suddenly sounded. Then, the metal stick in the young man's hand came out and flew towards another person - Ian.
"Sonic Screwdriver--What an interesting technology Creation," he murmured to himself, and then locked his eyes on the two of them. "Doctor, I have wanted to meet you for a long time."
