Crack.
Crack.
The Emperor Tang kept teleporting, leaping through the universe, recalling the scene just now.
"I always feel something's off, the dignified Immortal Zhenyuan... his avatar is weaker than even a Ghost Messenger of King Yama who walks the earth; could it be that something happened while he was fighting with other beings from the Primordial Chaos?"
"Just now, there was always a sense of insubstantiality."
He couldn't help but imagine.
After all, as the human emperor, this Outer Cosmos is unheard of, saying it's a new discovery wouldn't be exaggeration, if there was a fight at the coordinates of this place... it's natural.
"However, the coordinates of this place will sooner or later be discovered by other beings... Won't Immortal Zhenyuan take care of it?" He pondered over the various suspicions just now.
If he could discern and sneak over, naturally other beings could too.
If others come, it would be troublesome.
"Should I, perhaps, take action and use the Great Tang's Dragon Vein to shield it a bit..." He had some cunning thoughts, for now, it seemed only he and Immortal Zhenyuan knew about it, it wouldn't be good if others found out.
"But why doesn't Immortal Zhenyuan take action himself? Why does it fall on me, the contemporary Human Emperor of the mortal world?"
The more he thought, the more puzzled he became.
He felt there was definitely something fishy about it!
In the conversation just now, he didn't feel anything, but thinking back, various errors and doubts made him very suspicious!
The more he thought, the more confused he became, even wanting to turn back and see.
However, he didn't dare.
The majesty of ancient beings still intimidated him.
Just a trace of disharmony and he would risk offending a powerful being, it wasn't worthwhile.
Although as the Human Emperor, there's no way they would dare kill him, angering these beings would have a huge impact.
"Pity my Human Race."
"Forget it, forget it, let's not worry about these for now, let's take a walk around here first and see."
He began to focus on the present, continually flying and observing, quickly revealing a trace of amazement.
"Incredible, incredible!! Upon closer inspection, this universe is unbelievably vast, so vast it terrifies even me.... My Great Tang's territory, the Primordial Chaos universe, is only about one percent of a galaxy!"
The entire Primordial Chaos is only about one percent of a small star system!
Although only one percent of a galaxy's land, their quality is extremely high, filled with life planets, teeming with vitality, incomparable to here.
And here?
Even if it's a hundred times larger than the Milky Way, it's hard to find ten naturally inhabited planets!
Land a hundred times larger, yet it doesn't compare to even a small village of theirs.
"Here, barren yet vast, all deadlands, yet there's no enemy? Back then, I fought life and death with those Barbarians for territory, yet here it's everywhere!"
Emperor Taizong of Tang was somewhat shocked.
He felt that all the blood and sweat he poured into conquering territories and defeating powerful tribes, the blood-stained land of the Great Tang, was here like cabbage everywhere, uninhabited and unclaimed!
Before him, he had already forgotten the conversation with Zhenyuanzi just now.
"Golden land everywhere, golden land everywhere."
He revealed a trace of interest,
"If we sow and expand civilization here, it would certainly be an unprecedented blessing, heaven bless my Great Tang."
The Emperor Tang had already decided to have the Ministry of Revenue massively recruit craftsmen, commanding the Minister of Agriculture to bring people to cultivate this land, allocate the cultivation period to various Great Tang clans, generals, and noble families, incentivizing them to come here...
In any case, he had already made up his mind to stay here shamelessly.
The gods above are restricted by rules, it's impossible for them to take action against him.
As long as he's thick-skinned enough, he can reap rich rewards here, watching them fume as he messes around... As for thick-skinned, he was no longer the naive emperor of the past; after being berated numerous times by divine beings, he had developed a thick skin, knowing where their limit lies.
But soon, as he continued to fly and accelerate, he discovered a problem.
"Hmm, my space jump speed is only 0.8 light-years per second now?"
He was surprised, how is his speed slower than the civilization that made the announcement? They're at 2 light-years per second, while he barely reaches half?
He quickly found the reason.
The Space-Time Shuttle built by the Ministry of Industry, from a subordinate world's special rules of the Celestial Dao, had completely failed here!
"Here, only the basic rules can be used, the Heavenly Dao Laws of other worlds cannot?" He completely realized this point, so in this case, his power was unusable.
It meant he could only jump at a speed of 0.8% light-year per second.
His face instantly darkened a bit.
"In this way, to travel across and leave this galaxy..."
He sized up the structure of this Star River, situated in an elliptical disk.
The nearest distance is roughly 4000 light-years, and the farthest along the major diameter of this star disk is about 60000 light-years.
"Okay, the shortest direction only takes over four thousand seconds..." He had a number in mind that he could accept, but he quickly realized another problem.
Insufficient energy.
Honestly using conventional physical space jump technology burns a lot of energy!
Therefore, he generally didn't use basic True Skill to jump through space.
The more powerful a lifeform is, the more energy it contains, and traversing universal space requires geometrically increasing energy!
A tiny ant and a massive sun definitely require different energy to jump through space.
For a super lifeform containing such terrifying energy like him, each second of super space jump would cost astronomical energy....
Even requiring extinguishing countless stars to ignite.
"Well, need to gather energy, refine artifacts on the spot, and create energy collection tools... that's acceptable." He calmed down, "Careful calculation from scratch, it's just over half a year."
Half a year is still an acceptable number.
After all, for such a tremendous and terrifying being as him, this kind of travel sacrifice is very normal.
He planned to use local materials, but his thoughts stirred, intending to return to the Great Tang first, and upon returning, he found the entire Great Tang dynasty was in turmoil.
"The Emperor has been missing for ten years!"
"The Emperor most likely met with misfortune!"
...
All over Chang'an City was this information.
Li Shimin was directly dumbfounded, walking out from the palace, looking at the ministers, "I only quietly left for more than two hours at night, yet my Great Tang dynasty, ten years have passed?"
He calculated the ratio.
One day equals a hundred years.
This instantly made him uneasy; he needed more than half a year to fly out of the Milky Way, over 200 days, which would be twenty thousand years for the dynasty here.
He carefully calculated the time and was completely bewildered.
This number already left people unsettled.
Twenty thousand years, and the yellow flowers would have long withered, all just to fly out of a small star system?
"Immortal Zhenyuan..."
He instantly thought of the promise with the other, feeling he had been outsmarted.
No wonder the other let him leave the domain of the Milky Way, outside it was at his disposal, but the time ratio in that universe was fundamentally different, flying out required an extremely huge cost!
"Bastard!"
The Human Emperor was furious, his voice thunderous in the Imperial Study, "As expected of ancient otherworldly immortals, surviving from the ancient Primordial Chaos to today, they ruthlessly calculated against me and played me once again!"
'"Again! Again!! Everyone treats me as a puppet, from the previous Lady Guanyin to the present Immortal Zhenyuan..."
He paced back and forth, but as a Human Emperor of a generation, he couldn't break his word, go back on his words, this was not just a matter of dignity, it also involved the imperial fortune and the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
