In a grove of trees, two figures suddenly appeared.

One of them was about 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome face and a calm and composed expression. He wore a light blue robe and had a jade ruyi hanging above his head. The other man was also about 1.8 meters tall. He had a cold and handsome face, sharp eyes, and a wary yet confident expression. He held a scabbard in his left hand and placed his right hand where he could draw his sword at any time.

These two were Chen Mo and Lin Yaodong, who had just arrived in this world.

Lin Yaodong asked first, "Brother, where is this?"

Chen Mo shook his head, indicating that he wasn't quite sure either.

Let's find a populated area to take a look first.

Chen Mo directly took out the A-7-Class Fighter. The spiritual energy of this world was not abundant, and was even extremely thin. Chen Mo did not think this was a world where cultivation was very prosperous.

One's own magical artifacts are not suitable for use in this situation because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too weak. Therefore, the magical power consumed can only come from oneself, and one cannot use the power of heaven and earth to reduce one's own consumption.

The A-7-Class Fighter is different. It comes from the Swallowed Star World and has its own nuclear fusion as a power source, so its energy is virtually limitless. Moreover, it can quickly absorb solar energy and various types of radiation energy and convert them into its own energy. It also has multiple functions such as stealth and detection.

In fact, ever since the advent of large airplanes, Chen Mo has used them whenever he needs transportation.

Because it's convenient, because it's comfortable.

Every time the magic weapon is used for a period of time, Chen Mo needs to check on the situation and also needs to devote some of his attention to controlling the magic ship.

Unlike a large airplane, which is much more convenient, this one moves on its own and flies automatically. Chen Mo only needs to lie down obediently, which is naturally the most comfortable option.

Before long, it was flying high in the sky, its entire fuselage covered by optical camouflage. It was true optical invisibility, the kind that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

Chen Mo: "Thousand-Faced, launch a Inspection satellite to scan this planet. I need to know what's going on in this world."

The Thousand-Faced Witch: "Yes, Master."

The Thousand-Faced Witch immediately and automatically controlled the aircraft to launch three Inspection satellites into space, about ten minutes later.

A sweet voice from the Thousand-Faced Witch (Lolita style) came. "Master, according to the three satellites that were just launched, the natives of the world are still in a primitive age. No large-scale energy accumulation has been detected, their technological level is extremely low, and they have no ability to travel between stars."

The current energy density is low-level; no exceptionally powerful individuals have been detected. The strongest life form in the world is currently only at the Apprentice Level Ten...

However, something is strange: this world is remarkably similar to the previous Earth, with largely identical geography and only minor differences in a few landforms.

With the report from the Thousand-Faced Witch, Chen Mo roughly understood that this should be a parallel world of Earth, but he didn't know which world it was.

However, judging from the current situation, this world's level should be very low, and it's unlikely that my power and Lin Yaodong's power will appear.

This is a classic case of "once bitten, twice shy"!

When Chen Mo first time traveled through time, he was like a lamb entering a tiger's den; he was completely dumbfounded.

This is normal now. In a typical Small Thousand World, anyone with a third-tier strength can roam freely. Now, I've even reached the Fourth-Tier Nascent Soul Stage.

To be honest, coming here isn't very meaningful. Normally, most Small Thousand World are already the peak for fourth-order cultivators, so it's unlikely that Chen Mo Chen Mo will have any opportunities to accelerate his cultivation.

The original plan was to go to the Middle Thousand World after reaching the fourth level, but wasn't this all messed up by the first time I traveled through time?

Oh well, let's just treat this as a vacation.

The system indicates that it will take about ten days to accumulate enough energy. If there's nothing interesting to do, then stay for ten days and leave to catch the next event.

~~~

Furthermore, when Lin Yaodong heard the Thousand-Faced Witch say that this world's landscape was extremely similar to Earth's, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this also Earth? Why is that?"

Chen Mo explained casually, "It must be some parallel world of Earth. We'll probably encounter many more things like this in the future; we'll just get used to it."

Although Lin Yaodong still had doubts, seeing that Chen Mo didn't seem inclined to explain, he nodded silently, but kept those doubts to himself.

Chen Mo: "Thousand-Faced, find me the nearest human settlement. I need to gather some information and find out which world this is."

Thousand-Faced Witch (Luo Yu Feng): "Yes, Master~"

Within seconds, Thousand-Faced displayed Chen Mo's location and the nearest large human town on the fighter jet's screen. Chen Mo couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly convenient it was; it saved him so much cultivation time.

Chen Mo once again mentally gave himself a thumbs up for his initial decision.

Chen Mo pointed to the town on the map and said, "Okay, let's go with this place. By the way, be careful to disguise yourself. I don't want the natives of this world to know I'm here. Find us a deserted place to disembark."

Thousand-Faced Witch (Luo Yu Feng): "Yes, my master~"

~~~

Just as Thousand-Faced launched three satellites into space to explore the globe.

Hidden Soldiers Valley.

A mysterious man wearing a straw hat, a fierce mask, and completely wrapped in cloth frowned.

"Who goes there? How dare they spy on me, Commander! Hmph, they're courting death!"

His voice was deep and lifeless, making it unforgettable, and his tone conveyed an air of arrogance and domineering arrogance.

This person is none other than Yuan Tiangang, who has lived in this world for three hundred years and is the chief commander of the Bad Guys of the Great Tang Empire.

"Then let me see which little brat is spying on the secrets of heaven, and even daring to plot against me."

After muttering to himself, Yuan Tiangang casually tossed a few copper coins from his person, intending to calculate who had been spying on him.

However, the moment the copper coin hit the ground, Yuan Tiangang froze, his eyes bulging out in shock.

Pfft~

Yuan Tiangang immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Who? Who on earth is it? Have I been ambushed? No, no one in this world has ever been able to ambush me."

Snort!

This time, Yuan Tiangang really got serious. He collected the copper coins again and performed another divination.

Pfft~

Without a doubt, Yuan Tiangang coughed up blood again. Not only that, this time Yuan Tiangang even felt his life slipping away. This was a sign that he was being devoured by the secrets of heaven after trying to peek into them.

However, despite this, Yuan Tiangang did manage to foresee some things this time.

"A variable—such a terrifying variable exists in this world! His origins cannot be found within the Three Realms, and he is not even included in Yin and Yang or the Five Elements. What exactly is this variable? The secrets of heaven are in chaos; nothing can be calculated now."

Ignoring his injuries, Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and pondered, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

The best solution is naturally to resolve this sudden variable. However, this variable is truly terrifying. Even merely prying into some of his affairs would result in a backlash from the heavens. If one were to actually confront him, wouldn't he be utterly crushed?

After much deliberation, Yuan Tiangang cast the divination again.

This time, however, Yuan Tiangang no longer cared about that variable. The content of his calculations was only those things that he had calculated countless times before, mainly concerning the fate of the Great Tang Dynasty and the future emperor.

"How strange, how strange. This divination indicates that the original rules will not change, and things will continue to proceed as they have been arranged. However, it is also extremely unstable, and may break at any time, and the secrets of heaven may become chaotic again at any time."

It seems that my plans are entirely dependent on that variable. If that variable interferes with my arrangements, then the heavenly secrets will be thrown into chaos; if it doesn't interfere, then everything will proceed as I have calculated.

Yuan Tiangang narrowed his eyes. He hated this feeling of being out of control; to be precise, all wise and rational people hated this feeling.

However, Yuan Tiangang quickly came to terms with it.

"With my three hundred years of cultivation, do you think I'd be afraid of a mere variable like you? Then let me, this great one, have a go at you!"

Yuzhou City.

After arriving in the city, Chen Mo and Lin Yaodong bypassed the guards at the city gate and went directly to the city lord's mansion, the largest building in the city.

If you want to understand the true nature of the world, you certainly can't ask ordinary people. Ordinary people have limited sources of information, and there are many things and secrets they can't possibly know. The truth of the world is generally only known to those in power.

Therefore, Chen Mo's goal was very clear: to catch the biggest fish and ask about it.

With just a few minor spells, Chen Mo swaggered into the city lord's mansion with Lin Yaodong, subdued the guards, and the surrounding space fell silent and still. Then, Chen Mo placed his hand on the city lord's head and began to read his memories.

Central Plains? Great Liang, Jin Kingdom, Qi Kingdom? Bad Guys, Xuanming Sect, Tongwen Hall, Illusory Sound Workshop ~~~

In just a moment, Chen Mo roughly knew which world he had entered.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Bad People World.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Chen Mo withdrew the restriction, and the frozen spacetime began to operate again. The city lord and the others were momentarily dazed, unaware of what Chen Mo had just done to them.

Even those who are mentally abnormal or particularly sensitive only find it strange that time seems to have passed very quickly today.

As for Chen Mo and Lin Yaodong, they left long ago.

Chen Mo: "I roughly know what kind of world this is. It's hard to explain in detail, but in short, there are no opportunities in this world that are of great use to us, but at the same time, there are no things or people that threaten us."

Lin Yaodong asked, "So what should we do next? Leave immediately?"

Chen Mo shook his head. "No rush. There's a cooldown period for transmigrating to different worlds. The stronger the world you transmigrate to, the longer the cooldown period will be. Like the world we transmigrated to the first time, it took almost nine years to cool down. As for this world, it will only take a dozen days."

Lin Yaodong asked with some surprise, "Is the difference really that big? The difference in the power of heaven and earth between these two worlds is indeed significant, but is it really hundreds of times greater?"

Chen Mo chuckled, "Great? Strictly speaking, our last time we traveled through time was the one that was wrong. We thought it was just Small Thousand World, but we ended up in a top-tier Great Thousand World."

The world we visited before was called the Swallowed Star World. It was much larger than just Earth. Although Earth was special, powerful beings were as numerous as hairs on a cow in the Swallowed Star World. It's just that we weren't qualified to leave Earth and step into space at that time.

Once you leave Earth and venture into space, you'll understand what it means to be Third-Tier Planetary Level being worthless, Fourth-Tier Universe Level Earth Flow, and only Fifth-Tier World Lord Level being able to barely exert any influence. Only when you become Universe Master of the eighth tier or higher will you be considered a true powerhouse.

After listening to Chen Mo's explanation, Lin Yaodong finally understood just how vast the gap was between the two worlds. At the same time, a surge of passion welled up within him, and he resolved to become a true powerhouse.

Lin Yaodong is even eager to return to the Swallowed Star World, to see the universe Chen Mo spoke of, to meet the powerful beings within it, and to climb step by step to the highest point.

Lin Yaodong said impatiently, "Then, brother, when are we going back? How about we go back after the cooldown is over? I'm already getting tired of these days without any opponents."

Chen Mo: "Hey, Little Dong, don't get excited or rush. There are some things we're not capable of handling yet, and it would be very dangerous to rush back to that world. As for the specifics, I can't tell you, because we will eventually have to go back to that world. Once we know some things, that powerful being might find out about our existence. At that level, your thoughts and ideas will only give them opportunities."

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Only after you reach the eighth level can I tell you some things. As for other times, there are reasons why I haven't explained them to you. Ask less, do more.

After being lectured by Chen Mo, Lin Yaodong calmed down and nodded, saying, "Understood, brother."

Lin Yaodong: "So, what should we do in this world? Should we stay here for ten days or so and then leave?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "No rush. In this world, I'm quite interested in someone. I'm sure that person already knows I exist and will come looking for me soon, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Lin Yaodong asked curiously after hearing this, "Have we been exposed?"

Chen Mo: "No, it's just that some destiny exists in this world, and some troublesome individuals can glimpse the secrets of heaven, know the past, and foresee the future."

Chen Mo then said to Lin Yaodong, "By the way, we can stay here for a while longer. Although the people in this world are weak, it's mainly because their skills are not as profound as ours. In terms of the use of power and the sophistication of energy, there is still a lot we can learn from them."

Especially you, you cultivate martial arts, and the extraordinary power of this world is also mainly martial arts. However, due to the scarcity of the world's spiritual energy, no matter how much you cultivate, you will find it difficult to break through to the third level and form Martial Dao Golden Core in your lifetime.

But precisely because of this, once their skills reach a certain level, they can only focus on Dou Technique and energy utilization. Therefore, at the same level of skill, there should be quite a few people in this world who are superior to you.
