Chapter 1302: Chapter 1301: Your Spacecraft is Too Slow

With the help of Ether, the Supreme Council unsurprisingly passed Lu Yang’s proposal to send professionals to assist the Cultivation World with modernization.

The Interstellar Alliance has its own set of procedures for dispatching personnel to remote areas, not only in the field of technology but also covering aspects such as economics, education, art, and more.

The Interstellar Alliance first planned the round trip, support duration, and various other details, then sent out notifications layer by layer to select volunteers.

Half a month has passed since the start of the process.

Lu Yang knew that the Interstellar Alliance was interested in Spirit Stones and Spiritual Energy, so he made a special gift of a few Top-grade Spirit Stones before his departure.

...

Eternal Star System, Space Port.

The huge silver spacecraft was docked at the Space Port. Its graceful lines and smooth edges, under the dim light, cast soft shadows, as if telling the stories of countless interstellar journeys. People standing below and looking up at the spacecraft felt incredibly insignificant, full of awe and amazement.

"It’s really big." Lu Yang stood underneath the spacecraft, hands in his pockets, and couldn’t help but exclaim. Compared to the spacecraft, his Black Canopy Boat seemed as crude as a broken plank of wood.

This spacecraft was the Star Path, which the support team would take to travel to the Cultivation World.

He received a notification from the Supreme Council that the support team would gather here and head to the Cultivation World. He had come early to visit the Space Port, which he had never seen before.

The Eternal Star System was akin to the capital, and its Space Port was naturally the most advanced of the entire Interstellar Alliance. Larger than many cities, the port handled tens of thousands of spacecrafts daily, docking, resting, and departing through Artificial Wormholes to various Star Systems.

After Lu Yang finished touring the Space Port, the support team took the space elevator to reach the port.

These individuals were outstanding talents meticulously selected by the Interstellar Alliance, famous in their respective fields, and at the very least, each had experience with one support mission.

They carried themselves with a dignified aura, exuding a sense of superiority from head to toe.

For them, going to assist in remote areas was like a chance to bless others with the Alliance’s advanced technologies in all areas.

Once one experienced this feeling, they would undoubtedly yearn to experience it a second time.

Not to mention that the leader of this mission was the notable figure, Dean Gao, the Chief Scientist of the Alliance.

When Lu Yang realized that Dean Gao was leading the team, he was taken aback.

"Why are you here?"

Dean Gao replied seriously, "I’m in self-exile."

"You said our Cultivation World was backward, so heading there counts as self-punishment, right?"

"..."

When Dean Gao volunteered to head to the Cultivation World, the entire Supreme Council was shocked; such an instance of a council member personally partaking in support missions had never happened before, let alone the Chief Scientist like Dean Gao, who controlled the Alliance’s most advanced technologies.

What they didn’t know was that Dean Gao planned to initiate an Ether revolution, primarily because he believed in advancing technology and was convinced that the Cultivation World was far from being as simple as Lu Yang described, and it could indeed promote technological progress.

"Take this." Dean Gao handed Lu Yang a metal box.

"What is this?"

"It’s an Ether Clone. You can consider it a part of Ether that can synchronize with the main Ether through quantum communication."

The metal box was actually the Alliance’s most advanced quantum computer. The screen displayed Ether’s friendly smile: "Mr. Lu, we meet again."

"Can we talk about something? Can you change your expression next time?"

"Ah?"

The support team was surprised to see Lu Yang chatting and laughing with the legendary Dean Gao.

"That’s Lu Yang, right?"

"Yes, that’s him. I heard he’s one of the most powerful people in their Cultivation World."

Although it was rare for those being assisted to communicate as equals with the Interstellar Alliance, considering the way Lu Yang dealt with the film crew, the support team could somewhat understand.

Lu Yang glanced at the spacecraft, "Are we taking this thing there?"

Dean Gao was a bit surprised, "What else? You think we’d use your Black Canopy Boat?"

Dean Gao was thinking practically; a Black Canopy Boat could only fit five or six people. There was no way the support team could rely on the Black Canopy Boat to get to the Cultivation World.

Lu Yang slapped his forehead, realizing his oversight; he had forgotten to tell the Alliance that they didn’t need a spacecraft, as he had a way to take people with him.

"How long does it take to get to the Cultivation World on your spacecraft?"

"About seven to eight years," Dean Gao calculated the time. "By then, we’ll be immersed in nutrient solution to reduce bodily function consumption to a minimum, essentially stopping time."

This was a common method used by the Interstellar Alliance for long voyages.

Just as Dean Gao was about to say something else, Lu Yang suddenly drew the Green Peak Sword, startling Dean Gao who thought Lu Yang was about to attack.

Lu Yang opened up the Green Blade Sword Small World and took the entire spacecraft and the aid team inside.

The relaxed and casual demeanor of the aid team vanished in an instant, replaced by undisguised shock and panic.

"What happened?"

"Where is this place?"

"Did we just travel through?"

One second they were at the Space Port, and the next, they found themselves in an unrealistically beautiful world with lush greenery and clear waters. They rubbed their eyes several times, trying to confirm that the surreal landscape before them truly existed.

It did indeed exist.

"There’s a positioning system on the ship, bring it out and see where we are!"

"Get out all other tools as well, record the data of this place!"

"Dean Gao, where are we?"

Dean Gao was also stunned, he had made ample mental preparations before departing, determined not to panic no matter what.

Yet before they even set off, something he couldn’t understand had already happened?!

Lu Yang jumped into the Green Blade Sword Small World.

Seeing Lu Yang approach, Dean Gao hurriedly asked for an explanation.

"Oh, this place? This is a Small World within my sword," Lu Yang explained casually.

"Small World?" Dean Gao heard this term for the first time.

"It’s a space artificially created by someone. Don’t you know about that?"

Dean Gao’s mouth fell open in amazement. He recognized every word for ’artificially creating space,’ but had no idea what they meant when strung together.

"Why did you bring us here, just to show off your Small World?"

"Your spacecraft is too slow. I’ll use my boat to take you there; it will only take a month."

If it was just Lu Yang himself, he could use the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype to reverse time and return to the Cultivation World, but it wasn’t just about him — there was also the aid team and the Ether Submachine. Therefore, Lu Yang had to resort to sailing back honestly.

"A month?!" Dean Gao’s jaw dropped, the speed was ridiculously fast.

"Can’t I stay out of there? Your boat can fit people, right?" Dean Gao pleaded sheepishly.

Dean Gao was itching badly; last time he boarded the Black Canopy Boat, the journey was too short and by the time he realized, they had already reached the destination. This time, he was determined to study it properly.

"That’s fine."

Dean Gao explained the situation to the aid team to calm them down.

Hearing about Lu Yang’s method, the scientists in the aid team also wished to witness it and wanted to be on the boat. But how could the boat possibly fit so many people? Lu Yang thought of a compromise and opened a window in the Green Blade Sword Small World so that the people inside could see the outside.

Only then did Dean Gao and Lu Yang come into the outside world.

The tower’s navigator called to Star Path: "Star Path, time is up, please leave the port."

"Repeat, Star Path, time is up, please leave the port."

His colleague, with a dazed expression, poked the navigator: "Stop repeating, where’s the Star Path?"

"What do you mean?"

The navigator looked up in confusion, only to see the enormous Star Path had vanished without a trace, leaving only a light boat heading into the vast darkness of space.
