Ren Wuyang had previously been delirious and genuinely resisted entering the X432 device, but after regaining consciousness, he had no choice but to lie down inside, emitting a series of groans.

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng stared at each other, clearly not expecting the "Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity Pian" to produce such an effect.

"If I were to extrapolate and promote the combination of Mental Strengthening and the connection Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity, would this also attract such an existence?"

Decades ago, Ren Yisheng would not have believed in such nonsense as extraterrestrial life, but times have changed. From Qin Meng to the Thousand Islands Alliance, one event after another has brought secrets to the surface.

Even if he was unwilling to accept it, Ren Yisheng knew that there were too many unknowns beyond this world.

Before their civilization even set foot in space, extraterrestrial beings had already discovered this world.

Which planet in space are they on?

"Why were they able to get here?"

What do they rely on for space travel?

"If their technology is that advanced, wouldn't it be easy for them to defeat us?"

"Does everyone of them possess the same strength as Presnel?"

His relatively peaceful life was disrupted by a technique that aided in cultivation. Ren Yisheng felt that there were too many unknowns in the vastness of the world, which he found difficult to understand.

He couldn't imagine what kind of advanced technology had been developed on what planet, allowing them to continuously approach and even reach their world after finding a location.

From the faint roars, Ren Yisheng felt that the other party was not far away, as if they could appear in front of them if they just broke down a door.

"The tool they use for travel is a fireball," Zhang Xuezhou replied briefly. "I don't know where these fireballs are hidden, or how they travel. I've seen them from a distance on an Airbus; all I know is that it's a landmass spanning tens or hundreds of kilometers!"

"What powers the land?" Ren Yisheng asked. "A piece of land can fly in the air; that defies the laws of physics!"

"Isn't our world also a giant planet that rotates and revolves in space?" Zhang Xuezhou said.

"That's not wrong, but ultimately it is..."

Ren Yisheng felt that his scientific knowledge was somewhat insufficient.

Current physical science research is based on reality, rather than expanding the scope of the entire external world. It has not studied the stars in space, nor has it studied special spaces in the universe. In fact, no one has ever been to space.

Even if Gene Sequence evolution has only been driven forward for a few decades, and even if we include gene-based crops, it has only been sixty or seventy years.

But compared to the world sixty or seventy years ago, the contemporary world resembles an alien civilization.

Time has brought about tremendous differences through development and change.

If another hundred years pass, all the advanced technologies that we are proud of today may only be basic civilian applications. A hundred years from now, the abilities that ordinary people possess may even surpass those of the strongest individuals of their time.

Ren Yisheng finds it difficult to understand the technology of extraterrestrial civilizations, but he must accept the potential advancements of these extraterrestrial beings, as well as their various irrationalities, and actively participate in the possibilities mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou.

"Are these all the changes you discovered in the Thousand Islands Alliance?"

"Yes!"

How can we resist this invasion?

Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to answer Ren Yisheng's question.

Ren Yisheng's mindset underwent a dramatic transformation in just two days, from hesitantly listening to advice to actively pursuing progress.

Different perceptions lead to different attitudes.

If Ren Yisheng had previously harbored some ambitions within Western Capital City, he now felt that those were all underhanded tricks.

All the interests he fought for would be meaningless in the face of invasion and disaster.

However, Ren Yisheng currently lacks a sense of direction.

He could sense that this being was much stronger, but the distance limited its power.

In a face-to-face fight, Ren Yisheng was absolutely certain that he would die, or even be crushed in his most advantageous ability.

Even if he wanted to kill his opponent, he was powerless to do so.

"Find them, defeat them," Zhang Xuezhou said without hesitation. "Their strength is undeniable, but they also need to adapt to the rules of our world. After entering our world, they need time to adjust and grow. We also need to study their secrets, figure out why they came to our world, and thus prevent future troubles."

"Five fiery meteors fell at Qin Meng's location, which means there are five beings present, and they may even have various helpers!"

They're not as scary as you think!

Nagoth belongs to the No. 1 Sinkhole. After more than 30 years of Struggle, he only has the strength of the Seventh Sequence, and his shortcomings are also obvious.

Presenel's entry into the Thousand Islands Alliance dates back a century.

If Zhang Xuezhou is classified as Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, then his current situation is rather ordinary.

These entities do not enter the world without a price; they are subject to strict limitations.

This might be the malicious targeting of the world that 'Bai' mentioned. Their world is also rejecting these outsiders, making it take a long time for these beings who enter the world to adjust and recover their original strength.

Even with Zhang Xuezhou's current strength, he could still defeat these beings.

They struggle to contend with powerful beings lurking in the unknown depths, but as long as these beings enter their world, they have the ability to defeat them, or even annihilate them completely.

"This world is like a giant leaky sieve, with drops of water dripping in every now and then. If we can't solve the problem completely, we and our descendants will be stuck in this situation forever," Ren Yisheng said. "We might be able to eliminate one or two, or even ten or eight in succession, but there will always be times when we fail!"

"When the 'Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity Pian' is applied to Mental Strengthening, it will attract these beings. There may also be the possibility of communicating with these beings or even using them in reverse," Zhang Xuezhou said.

The clash between the cultivation techniques of the two worlds also sparked something extraordinary.

Dong Zhongshu's "The Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity" originated from Luo Zhong's "The Mental Strengthening Chapter." The combination of the two produced abilities that even their creators had never imagined.

This ability can be disastrous if misused, but if used well, it can bring irreplaceable benefits.

Or perhaps Ren Wuyang's situation is special, and a similar situation might not occur when these two cultivation techniques are normally combined.

Zhang Xuezhou's suggestion silenced Ren Yisheng, who continued to consider the connection between the two cultivation methods.

This is indeed a wondrous technique; what one desires but cannot obtain, Ren Wuyang and others can do with ease.

This makes it difficult for Ren Yisheng to experience firsthand, but with Ren Wuyang and others as case studies, promoting the research is not impossible.

Moreover, they have already figured out how to properly sever any potential future problems.

Ren Yisheng glanced at Ren Wuyang inside the X432 device, only to see Ren Wuyang holding his head and looking pitifully at him and Zhang Xuezhou.

Clearly, Ren Wuyang was also listening to their conversation through an external device.

After summarizing everything, Ren Wuyang couldn't help but turn pale, realizing that he might become a guinea pig in the future and would have to lie in the X432 device from time to time.
