Li Xingkong has abandoned everything to focus on research, which has caused great hardship for Baili Qiu and his group who are waiting for news.
Although Baili Qiu had sent many people to stake out this route at Li Xingkong's behest, Xuan Qingzi's remnants were indeed ruthless in their actions. In addition, with the interference of other server merchants, Baili Qiu could only use brute force to investigate step by step.
After receiving news of the massive explosion of space, they rushed to the scene immediately, but apart from a scene of ravages by natural disaster, they couldn't find a single trace of anything.
Xuan Qingzi's men seemed to have vanished, but Li Xingkong also remained silent.
That's really awkward.
Since none of the parties involved have come forward, Baili Qiu and his team can't draw any conclusions about the outcome.
Although Baili Qiu had personally witnessed Li Xingkong survive a small-scale spatial explosion, this explosion affected several star systems. Could Li Xingkong survive such a fierce attack? Baili Qiu was confident, but not very confident.
With Li Xingkong remaining silent, Baili Qiu was also uneasy about selling his servers.
After all, he was the weakest one in this love triangle. If Li Xingkong just gave up like that, then his relationship with Fang Ritu would probably have to be reshuffled.
I can only earn more from this trade route.
Since his interests were involved, it was natural that he would seek out Li Xingkong most urgently.
A month later, Baili Qiu's people found the wreckage of the giant ship. It was utterly destroyed and scattered throughout the entire star system. It was only because of its unique material structure that it was detected.
With the discovery of the wreckage, traces of the blood of the Sihali Kingdom were also found. Overall, the giant ship was ravaged in an unknown way, and everyone inside was dead.
This galaxy isn't exactly a developed place, so besides Li Xingkong, Baili Qiu couldn't think of anyone else with that kind of power.
Since the scene has been destroyed like this, Li Xingkong is definitely unharmed, but where is he?
It was as if it evaporated instantly.
While Baili Qiu was busy searching for people, Li Xingkong's research had also progressed to a crucial step.
The biggest problem in this whole approach is how to use the Earth-Traversing Golden Light to transform oneself into a tachyon state.
After all, this supernatural power was beyond the scope of the curriculum, and Li Xingkong didn't understand much about its principles, and his understanding of the "fast particle" was only just beginning.
Li Xingkong can only use limited knowledge and unlimited time and computing power to deduce his goals.
Due to the lack of information and the large number of possible deductions, Li Xingkong could only use the Hexagram to test each option and eliminate the unsuccessful ones.
It took Li Xingkong a whole month to finally use the Earth-Traversing Golden Light to create his first fastball.
With this step, the conversion of tachyons is complete, but the subsequent steps are still not simple.
The transformation is successful, but it must be able to reverse back to the original state.
Otherwise, the entire informational state of one's body cannot be reversed, and one will truly become a "fast person".
In his research, Li Xingkong had completely lost track of time.
All he could see was the transformation of Kuaizi.
Six months later, Li Xingkong looked at his right hand, which could skillfully change shape, and finally climbed out of the planet with satisfaction.
While I'm still a ways off from achieving a full-body tachyon state transformation, the transformation of just one hand is already quite significant.
Li Xingkong transformed a piece of Flesh and Blood the size of his fingernail into a pellet, then sensed the server's location and sent it to the server where Baili Qiu was.
Although half a year has passed, Baili Qiu is still collecting news about Li Xingkong every day.
There was no other way; Li Xingkong was his right-hand man, his pillar of support. If he didn't look for him, who would?
Right there in Baili Qiu's base, there were several servers collecting intelligence about Li Xingkong every day.
He knew that Li Xingkong a backdoor in the server. If Li Xingkong was really alright, as long as his side was still operating, Li Xingkong would be able to sense his location.
Still no news?
As usual, Baili Qiu arrived at the server room and began his daily inquiries.
"There are eleven new pieces of information, all from Divine Land; there is no new intelligence from other regions."
A scholar-like rat-man, adjusting his glasses, handed over the intelligence he was holding.
"Alright, keep listening, don't let your guard down."
Baili Qiu took the documents from his hand; they were all trivial matters and had no real value.
"Strange, where could it have gone?"
Baili Qiu was puzzled.
"Take a guess?"
A familiar voice came from behind him. Baili Qiu answered subconsciously.
"How am I supposed to guess? I've searched everywhere I can think of, this is driving me crazy..."
As he was speaking, Baili Qiu suddenly stopped.
"Um?"
Who's talking to him?
Looking back, Li Xingkong had appeared behind him at some point. Although he looked somewhat transparent, as if he were an illusion, it was indeed Li Xingkong.
When Baili Qiu looked back, Li Xingkong was transitioning from tachyon state back to physical state. Although it was only a clone transformed from a small piece of Li Xingkong's flesh Flesh and Blood, the clone was indeed real.
Although the temporarily expanded physical body is certainly not as strong as Li Xingkong body, this clone is only here to make an appearance, not to fight, so it doesn't matter if it is a little weaker.
"Hey, Brother Li! Where have you been all these years? You've suddenly disappeared without a trace."
Baili Qiu quickly stepped forward, wanting to shake hands with Li Xingkong, but his hand passed directly through Li Xingkong's body. It was like putting his hand into water; there was a sensation, but it was very slight.
This feeling made Baili Qiu take two steps back. What kind of state is Li Xingkong in right now?
Li Xingkong smiled and accelerated the transformation process. Soon, a clone solidified.
"This is one of my clones, a projection, similar to your Phantom Legion, isn't it?"
After his clone solidified, Li Xingkong first stretched out his body for a while before speaking.
"Over the years, I discovered something interesting, so I did some research on it, and well, this is one of the results."
Li Xingkong pointed to himself and gestured.
"You scared me! I thought something really had happened to you."
Baili Qiu quickly made room for Li Xingkong.
"No need for all that trouble. I'm just here to give it a try. Afterwards, it'll be much easier to contact me. Just shout my name and 'Help!' within server range, and I'll come running."
Li Xingkong was still testing the functions of his clone, so naturally he wouldn't just sit idly by.
"Really?"
Baili Qiu was incredulous.
Li Xingkong's ability, demonstrated in just a few short sentences, has nearly turned the world upside down in the Sihali Kingdom.
