If the problem is caused by spatial fluctuations, then Li Xingkong created the spatial gate much earlier than ten years ago. In fact, Divine Land had already been using these teleportation gates for practical purposes for quite some time.
Therefore, the investigators present were all quite puzzled by this.
Could it be that these extraterrestrials also experience a time lag in detecting spatial fluctuations due to distance? That's one possibility.
However, they did not draw any conclusions prematurely, after all, they were just investigators, not professional researchers, and their understanding of space-related matters was merely speculation.
"How about we go to the Earthly Capital and look for some information, see if we can find anything?"
The Inspection Department team leader made a suggestion.
" Captain Wang, there's too much classified information Earthly Capital in the capital. It won't be easy for us to get the data."
His team members, who were responsible for liaising with other departments, were having a bit of a headache.
"This incident is extremely urgent. I think the Earthly Capital should have already received the news, and they shouldn't make things difficult for us."
Even so, the relevant procedures...
"This is a special case; all the paperwork can be completed later. This is what the higher-ups have said."
"However, let's split up. You take a few people to retrieve the data, and try to get the people in the Earthly Capital to cooperate. If there's any classified information, let them look at it themselves, and then they'll relay the declassified information to you."
"I'll go talk to some people here in the Earthly Capital and see if I can get anything out of them."
"Okay, Captain Wang."
Having given the orders, the man known as Captain Wang already had someone to talk to.
After the other group set off, he led the remaining few people and began to move about at a leisurely pace.
They did not Earthly Capital capital.
After leaving the house, Captain Wang told his men to wait where they were, and after tidying himself up, he went to the top floor of the Inspection Department and knocked on the door of an office.
"Come in."
A sound came from inside the door, and Captain Wang gently pushed the door open and went in.
"Minister Tang, I'd like to ask you about things here in the Earthly Capital."
The person sitting in the office was none other than Tang Cheng, who was currently cultivating.
Since his advancement to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he has been promoted to the head of the Imperial Capital Branch of the Inspection Department Division. This position is not easy to hold. Fortunately, what the Inspection Department lacks most right now is strength. With strength in place, Tang Cheng has built up his prestige over the past few years.
"It's about those aliens, isn't it? I knew you'd come to ask me."
Tang Cheng smiled and picked up a note from the table.
"Minister Tang, it has to be you; your predictions are truly prophetic."
Captain Wang stepped forward and stood on the opposite side of the table.
"Alright, stop joking. Take this to my dad. I was in seclusion at that time, focusing on my advancement, so I don't know much about it."
Ten years ago, Tang Cheng had disappeared somewhere, so he naturally didn't know much about what was happening in the Earthly Capital.
"Ah, thank you so much, Commander Tang, for showing me the way."
Captain Wang grabbed the note and said with a grin.
"You little rascal, all you talk is good, when are you going to show it with your actions?"
Tang Cheng shook his head. He had practically raised this guy himself, so he knew exactly what kind of person he was.
"Hehe, I'll treat you to dinner next time I get paid. You're busy, though."
Before Tang Cheng could say anything, Captain Wang waved the note in his hand, slammed the door shut, and ran away.
"Childish."
Tang Cheng laughed, but soon his gaze turned to the sky.
"Alien..."
Tang Cheng licked his lips, a hint of restlessness stirring within him.
He was practically invincible on Earth Star, and that feeling was truly lonely.
The biggest difference Li Xingkong is that he can't sit still. Cultivation is too arduous, and every time he comes out of seclusion, he has to have a good time.
The Venus Showdown indeed fun, but the problem is that there are only a handful of Foundation Establishment on Earth Star right now, and none of them can rival him.
Putting everything else aside, just in terms of computing power alone, no one on Earth Star can currently match him.
Tang Cheng's cultivation can be said to have been achieved by harnessing the power of the entire Divine Land.
The latest spiritual plants researched by the unorthodox sects of Divine Land, the new types of pills refined, the latest progress in cultivation from the Earthly Capital Research Department, and the most advanced computing power model on the entire Earth Star all contributed to Tang Cheng's cultivation.
He didn't need to prepare anything; all the resources were being researched by specialists. All he had to do was use these resources to cultivate and break through again and again.
Of course, all of this excludes one person.
By now, Tang Cheng had no idea of Li Xingkong's strength. If Li Xingkong was a peak-level talent within the Foundation Establishment Stage, then Li Xingkong was the only true god on the entire Earth Star.
Having obtained Tang Cheng's note, Captain Wang calmly headed to the Earthly Capital.
With this thing, he could meet Tang Cheng's father, the leader of the Earthly Capital, in person. With the old man's help, the subsequent investigation would be much easier.
With one in hand, you can move freely without hindrance.
Soon, he sat down opposite the old man.
"Caused by spatial fluctuations..."
Old Tang had naturally heard about matters related to extraterrestrials, but he hadn't received any specific interrogation information.
After Captain Wang arrived with the file, Old Tang finally learned the details.
"Spatial fluctuations..."
Old Tang had a rough backup of all the projects in the Earthly Capital in his mind. After all, once you become a cultivator, your own brain is the safest storage location.
This is much more reliable than storing it in any electronic device.
Muttering to himself, Old Tang quickly reviewed the relevant experiments in his mind.
With the timing and experimental direction determined, Old Tang had far fewer memory nodes to search for.
A moment later, Old Tang's eyes lit up.
Found it.
"4th Floor Archives Room, 12-1."
Old Tang said something softly, and half a minute later, a file appeared directly on his desk.
He pushed the file toward Captain Wang, gesturing for him to open it and take a look.
Captain Wang didn't refuse much; the sooner the problem was identified, the sooner he could give his superiors an explanation.
He opened the file; it contained many things, but a document on top caught his eye.
"A study on the relationship between particle bombardment and space structure."
He couldn't understand the research content, but he could clearly see the pictures at the bottom of the document.
In the area where the laboratory is located, the entire space seems to have been cut away, forming a circular gap.
There is a line of small text below the photo.
"This experiment triggered a spatial explosion, erasing the entire laboratory. The local spatial anomalies are extremely peculiar; a classification of Top Secret is recommended."
"This is..."
Captain Wang gasped.
The research of those guys in the Earthly Capital is also in danger. If he hadn't seen this file, he really wouldn't have known what they were up to.
"This place is still under secrecy. Although the laboratory has been shut down, several teams are still conducting research on the newly discovered spatial rifts."
Old Tang did a quick search and then retrieved a few more files.
These are all follow-up research projects on this fissure.
The timing is perfect; this is probably the reason why aliens are spying on us.
But then another problem arises.
Why didn't Li Xingkong's manipulation of space trigger the aliens' detection?
