Chapter 1264 Origin and Current Situation
Time goes back a little bit, into the origin space.
As Luo Hongchen said, time flies, and even in space, the explorers have passed dozens of mission worlds.
Many of the former seventh-level explorers have been promoted to eighth-level strength, and the strength of the sixth-level explorers has also improved by leaps and bounds.
It can be said that the time Lu Chen stayed in the space was not as long as the time he left this time.
Back when he was weak, he made rapid progress, breaking through the ranks in every world, leaving many of his "contemporaries" behind.
Nowadays, some old acquaintances have also caught up in rank and become new powerful people in the origin space.
In the Adventurer Bar on the first floor of World Tree, many explorers gather here to drink and have fun. This is a daily pastime for many people.
At the same time, this place is also used for the exchange of various intelligence messages. According to their levels, explorers gather separately and rarely disturb each other.
Low-level explorers often wear very shabby clothes. The first- and second-level newcomers wear blue-quality equipment. Occasionally, someone takes out a purple weapon, which attracts a burst of compliments and envy from those around them.
It can only be said that there are many hardships that Lu Chen has never experienced, because he has always been at the forefront and has no idea about the "people's sufferings"
In Lu Chen's opinion, blue-quality and purple-quality equipment were just rubbish. He didn't want to bring them with him when he came out of the dragon world.
But for many explorers who have just entered space for the first time, it is already a rare treasure. There are many people who have fallen into conflict with each other in the mission world for a piece of blue equipment.
In a place like this, low-level explorers look up to high-level explorers, dreaming that one day they can live like the big guys, survive in this damn place, and live a better life.
But little did they know that the big boss in their eyes also thought so. People's desires were never satisfied, and the lives of high-level explorers were actually not much better.
Every time you enter a mission world, there is a risk of falling.
Even though the origin space has the lowest explorer death rate among the nine major spaces, the average death rate every time you enter the mission world is more than 30%.
Therefore, many of the explorers here are drunk now, cherishing their rare life in the leisure room, and cherishing their teammates who have been with them through life and death.
Because they don't know that one day they will say goodbye to their friends forever, maybe it will be the next mission to the world.
"Another glass of rum!"
A big man with a fluffy beard covering his face was sitting in the corner of the bar, an area where few people dared to approach. He shouted loudly, asking his supporters to serve him drinks.
Many explorers looked at that location with fear. It was a gathering place for explorers of the eighth level and above. No one was specifically enclosing the area there, and there were no signs. However, it was unclear when the tradition was continued. .
Even if there is no one in that area, no one will sit down. This is the default unspoken rule and the respect for high-level explorers.
It can be said that explorers rarely see ninth-level explorers in the space. Even if eighth-level explorers cross regions to go to the trading market for ninth-level explorers, it is like a ghost market, with few people at all.
There are too few ninth-level explorers, and they all seem to be busy and generally not in the space.
Therefore, eighth-level explorers are basically the top-level combat force resident in all major spaces. Within the space, they are the pinnacle that other explorers can look up to.
"Here you go, boss. Please use it slowly."
There are many waiters in the Adventurer Bar, all of whom are supporters working odd jobs here, but the owner of this bar rarely shows up.
Some people say that this bar was opened by the oldest supporters, dating back almost to the beginning of the space, but this statement is scoffed at, because in their view, space exists forever, with no beginning and no end.
But one thing that most people agree on is that this store is indeed very old, so old that it cannot be tested. Even in a place like Space where tasks are performed every half a month, time will seem to pass very slowly, but it also exists here. I don’t know how many years it has been.
People speculated that the owner behind the Adventurer Bar might be related to a ninth-level explorer, but no one had seen the mysterious owner.
A large glass of rum was placed in front of the hairy man. This was of course not an ordinary rum, but a special offering from the Adventurer Bar. Its full name was Ice Sea Flame Rum. In terms of item rating, At the level of sacred objects.
Just this glass of wine is an unimaginable price for a low-level explorer, but for an eighth-level explorer, it is just a small amount of money for entertainment.
"Huh - I really miss that guy Zebra..."
Rhine put down the wine glass and let out a sigh of relief.
He has been an eighth-level explorer for many worlds now. After he came out of the Zhetian World, he was already at the quasi-emperor level. After returning, he spent another world to advance to the eighth level. Now his strength is not what it used to be. , comparable to an emperor-level figure in the world of Zhetian.
Since he left the world of Zhetian, he has experienced a total of nineteen worlds. Because he is the judge, the rest time between each world will be longer, but the time he stays in the world is usually not short.
Counting the time in the mission world, he has experienced tens of thousands of years. Time always washes away people's memories. Fortunately, every time he returns to the space, he will interact with the team members and find some lost things. .
"If you don't have enough strength, you can't blame anyone. That's the way this place is."
The person sitting opposite Rhine was a handsome and elegant man, with a soft white fox lying on his shoulder. It was Lu Chen's old acquaintance Fox.
He and Rhine clinked glasses of wine and drank together.
Many worlds have passed, and he is now worthy of becoming an eighth-level explorer. He was successfully promoted in the last world. It can be said that as an arbiter, his promotion speed is neither fast nor slow.
Nineteen worlds ago, he was still a sixth-level adjudicator. It took five worlds to advance to the seventh level, and another fourteen worlds to advance to the eighth level, because the later space no longer rewards attribute points for explorers to use.
Therefore, every step forward requires either relying on one's own cultivation, or spending inheritance crystals and sky-high-priced origin coins, both of which are massive resources, making it difficult for the explorers to move forward.
Even if one is as powerful as the Adjudicator, it is often considered unbelievable to be able to increase four or five points of comprehensive attributes in a world, because this is a comprehensive attribute, not a single attribute. When converted into attribute points, it is about 20 points.
"I just kinda miss the wine he made."
Rhine sighed, yes, Zebra is dead. It was rare for a member of their circus to die in the mission world.
He was a taciturn member who loved bartending and even spent inheritance crystals to improve his bartending skills. The tavern he opened was very popular among the members.
"Well, I can only say that anything can happen in the mixed space. Godzilla is as powerful as he was back then, but he couldn't return from the mission world in the end."
Fox said with emotion that he knew that Lu Chen entered the Zhetian World, but everyone returned one by one. The theoretically strongest person did not return, which made many people who knew Lu Chen in the Origin Space lament.
"This is indeed a bit strange. The last time I stayed in Zhetian World was not long, less than three hundred years, but at that time Lu Chen was already able to fight against the ancient supreme beings. I can't imagine that as a person in mixed dimensions, , what else can kill him, the remaining few hundred years should be relatively safe. "
Lain frowned and said, he was practicing alone in Zhetian World. He did not go to Lu Chen this time, so he didn't know how to extend his stay in Zhetian World.
In fact, he had communicated with many explorers, but no one knew how to extend time. In the end, everyone left directly when time ran out.
Rhine guessed that the hidden method of increasing time stay was probably just mentioned to the explorers. Under normal circumstances, they would not be able to do it. The stay time of hundreds of years was also very long. Rhine was already satisfied and let him take the lead. Many people of the same period.
He just couldn't figure it out. With Lu Chen's strength, he could fight the ancient supreme being before he left. In the following years, powerful people such as the Immortal Emperor were still dormant. With the explorer's ability to know the plot well, Lu Chen shouldn't Will you take it off?
"The speed of his improvement is still as abnormal as ever..."
Fox drank a glass of wine and felt a little emotional, remembering that when he first met Lu Chen, he was only a fourth-level adjudicator. It can be said that when he first entered that world, Lu Chen was not as good as him.
But in the end, Lu Chen surpassed himself in the Aika Continent. After leaving the Aika Continent and returning to space, he even surpassed him. Within a few worlds, he was left behind and he was given the title of Judgment. The person is somewhat frustrated and doubtful about life.
He thought for a while and said, "Lhine, do you think it's possible that Lu Chen is not actually dead, but is still in the world of Zhetian and has not come out?"
Rhine's drinking hand paused, "It's unlikely. Even if there is a hidden way to increase the stay time, it won't extend it that long, right?"
He had a weird expression, "Didn't the deputy captain once tell us about the speed of space and time in all major worlds? In a world with the energy level of Zhetian, five thousand years would be almost half a month of ours. Our identity A special point is that the mission is carried out once a month. Based on the number of experiences in the mission world, wouldn't Lu Chen have been there for 190,000 years? "
As he spoke, he shook his head and shook the wine from his beard, "It's impossible, it's too unrealistic."
He felt that even if the space gave people the opportunity to extend their stay, it would not be so outrageous.
You must know that the cultivation environment in Zhetian World, even in the Dharma Ending Age, is pretty good for many big worlds. If you stay long enough, you can still get enough benefits.
Because some big worlds, although terrifying and dangerous, are very barren, have little benefit, and are full of death crises.
"That's right, that's too outrageous. The space shouldn't allow people to do this."
Fox also shook his head and smiled, feeling that that was unrealistic.
Because Lu Chen originally practiced martial arts, and also integrated the cultivation techniques of various worlds, the big world like Zhetian's world view was very suitable for him to accumulate practice.
If it really stopped for hundreds of thousands of years, with Lu Chen's talent, they couldn't even imagine how terrifying it would become now.
"By the way, a new round of covering the sky is about to begin. You should be selected this time. Keep an eye out and go have a look. Maybe you can dig up some treasures left by Brother Lu."
Rhine said, remind Fox, people in space are so free and easy. I can't help you even if you are dead. Even if we were on good terms in the past, I can only collect the corpses for you.
His own strength is too strong. He has reached the late eighth level and can no longer enter the world of Zhetian. If he enters the related world, he can only enter another time node of that world, the perfect world period.
The space will not allow people to take advantage of loopholes, nor will it waste combat power. It can be said that if an explorer with emperor-level strength is directly thrown into Zhetian, isn't it purely for the sake of reaping benefits?
Even if there are still beings in the Zhetian World who can punish the emperor-level powerhouses, the explorers can still live an extremely comfortable life, so the space will not do such a thing.
For explorers who are above the mid-eighth level, if they are sent to the world of the Zhetian Trilogy, the most likely one is the perfect world. Some people will also go to the dangerous battlefield of the Holy Ruins. In short, it will not make you feel better.
Even though the Emperor of Desolate Heaven in the Perfect World started mukbang all the way and ate the Immortal Emperor, there is still a lot of sadness at the core of the story, and that world is really dangerous.
Not to mention the more distant eras, just talking about the ancient era, in the later period, immortal kings will be everywhere, and true immortals are not as good as dogs. Your strength is so powerful that it can be compared to the emperor, but in a perfect world, you can only live low-key.
If you are more unlucky and are sent directly to the Emperor's Fall era by space, it will be a lot of fun. Just take care of it and don't mess around, otherwise you may die when you go out.
"Sigh, it's still hard to believe that that kind of person can die. I heard from the deputy captain that Lu Chen had hoped to break the record and become the fastest person to reach the ninth level."
Fox sighed and said that he and Lu Chen had a good relationship. They often did business and sometimes drank together when they were free in space. He had always felt sorry for the passing of that refreshing and powerful man.
"Don't think about it. You may not be able to pass this qualification battle. Go back and prepare quickly. Since the eighth-level explorers will be mobilized, it means that it will definitely be a golden world. It will stay for a thousand years, which is enough for you to stand at the eighth-level station. Get a foothold."
Rhine told him that he had always taken care of the juniors in the group. He also took out an immortal-level piece of equipment and said, "You owe me what you owe me. Come back and pay me back."
Fox took it happily, "Then I'll be disrespectful. Thank you Brother Shizi. I'm going to Zhetian to investigate this time. I'm really puzzled. Who killed Lu Chen? The deputy leader is also a riddle. People, just say there are no violators involved.”
"A violator... If Brother Lu is really still alive, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture him now, right?"
Rhine's eyes looked into the void. Over the years, he had hunted down dozens of violators, and the space began to transfer his tasks more and more frequently, giving him a smell of gunpowder smoke.
