Chapter 375 Return and the time difference of the universe
In a valley, there is a lake, a thatched house, and three acres of farmland, giving it an idyllic look.
Lando's figure turned from virtual to real and appeared in the valley.
There is a gentle breeze in the afternoon and the sun is warm.
There are two trees in front of the thatched house, one is a jujube tree and the other is also a jujube tree.
The small vine wandered along Lando's arm to his shoulder, and looked around. Even though it had become the master of the universe, it probably still maintained strong curiosity.
There are three tombstones behind the thatched house, two of which are next to each other, with the inscriptions 'Tomb of my father Gu Yongzhou' and 'Tomb of my mother Hua Shuyi' respectively, while the third tombstone farther away has nothing inscribed on it.
The entire small valley is shrouded by a shallow magic circle, which can drive away wild beasts and beasts nearby.
Beside the lake, an old man with white beard and white eyebrows was sitting on a bamboo chair fishing, but the afternoon time made him a little drowsy.
Lando came slowly, and when he was close, the old man turned his head as if he heard footsteps.
The two sides looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell into stagnation for a moment.
After a long time, Lando smiled and said: "Awu, long time no see."
That's right, the old man living in seclusion here is A Wu from back then.
Compared with Awu's high spirits when Lando left, now he is like a truly waning old man without any strength of a practitioner.
Awu's slightly cloudy eyes stared at Lando, and after pouting for a long time, he said with a wry smile: "Lando...brother, I let you down."
Lando said softly: "No, you have done a good job."
If a person wants to succeed, it can be said that the right time, place, and people are all very important.
When he was in the Yuanshui Sect, it seemed that Ah Wu had the advantage, but the timing and location were actually controlled by Ye Wuwei.
Ye Wuwei's own luck is enough to allow him to be like a fish in water no matter what he does, just like God's help. Coupled with his relationship with the Grand Elder of Yuanshui Sect, the geographical advantage is much greater than that of A Wu.
As for those senior officials of the Source Water Sect who seemed to support Awu, they just regarded him as a pawn, and there were probably only a few who truly cared about him.
Lando waved his hand, and vines grew from the ground and turned into a chair.
While the two were fishing, they chatted about every detail of the past years. Of course, Awu was the one talking most of the time.
This conversation lasted until evening.
A Wu looked at today's harvest and smiled and said: "Brother Lan, I have been unable to do anything else these years, but my ability to make fish soup is extraordinary. I will let you try it today."
Lando stood up and said calmly: "Are you... willing?"
Ah Wu was stunned, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he became lonely.
"It doesn't matter if you are willing to do it, or if you are not willing to do it, everything is just a passing cloud."
Lando said: "I can see that you are not willing to accept it."
This time Awu didn't answer, he just stared at the lake in a daze.
Lando turned around and left slowly. Before the figure disappeared, a faint sentence came to him: "I left some gifts for you. Go and see for yourself. I hope we can meet again."
I don't know how long it took, but when the moon reached its peak, Ah Wu seemed to have recovered from his daze. He looked at the empty valley and smiled bitterly.
Carrying a bucket full of fish, he staggered towards his small thatched cottage.
Opening the door, Awu was immediately attracted by two items placed on the table in the room.
A ball of light and a book.
The light group exudes a soft and dreamy brilliance, and the books also exude a dense brilliance.
"This is……?!"
Ah Wu, who had already guessed something, took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, put the bucket in his hand aside, walked to the table and picked up the book first.
【soul】
This is the name of the book. After flipping through it a little, it records the spiritual path chakra cultivation method, which is detailed and high-end.
After a while, Awu put down the book and looked at the light group with complicated eyes.
It is the mind-made ‘Heaven Wheel’!
"Brother Land..."
The turbidity in Ah Wu's eyes slowly dissipated and became firm.
He looked outside through the window of the thatched house, paused for a long time on the third unnamed tombstone, and murmured to himself:
"Ye Wuwei, I'm back, are you... ready?"
…………
Leaving Awu, Lando chuckled and said: "A person who doesn't like cooking at all, even if he can barely stew fish soup, how delicious it is? Fortunately, I am smart, haha!"
Lando reviewed his trip to the Mythical Universe again, and after confirming that everything was done, he planned to leave. He didn't know what had happened to the Arcane Universe in the decades since he had been gone.
I guess there shouldn't be much change.
A message was sent, and the next step was to wait for the Silver Tower to launch a cross-universe teleportation array to bring him back.
Suddenly Lando slapped his head and said to himself: "I feel like I forgot something..."
He gently tapped the little vines crawling on his shoulders: "...Little guy, the name Mythology Universe is a bit inappropriate. From now on, this is our paradise, so this universe should be renamed Paradise Universe. I understand.
?"
The little vine twisted its body indifferently as a response.
Lando didn't have to wait long when a special pulling force came. He knew that this was the effect of the activation of the cross-universe teleportation circle.
He grabbed the clone of the little vine and threw it into the inner universe. Then Lando followed this pulling force and started the cosmic teleportation.
Wait until Lando's breath disappears from the Myth...Paradise universe.
In the sea of outer space, the 'spherical ball' of Paradise Universe opened its round eyes, waved its vine tentacles vigorously, and 'swam' towards the arcane universe in the direction of the contract induction.
…………
Arcane Universe, Silver Tower Headquarters, and the demiplane where the cross-universe teleportation circle is located.
There were not many people on duty here at this time, and the Arcanists of the Silver Tower were chatting in groups of twos and threes.
When the cross-universe teleportation circle is not activated, the arcane masters on duty need to drop void bait into the outer universe through the magic circle at regular intervals, and they must also continuously receive and analyze the information transmitted by the void bait.
Information data can be said to be quite busy.
However, when the cross-universe teleportation array is activated, in order to be able to draw the outgoing Grand Arcanist at any time, the cross-universe teleportation array will generally be in a pre-activated state. In addition, any work must be temporarily stopped. This is also the duty of the personnel.
Rare free time.
"I don't know when Lord Lando will come back? I have been here for more than four years, and I can stay for less than a year. I wonder if I can meet our Silver Pagoda man before I leave.
a legendary person."
"That's not certain. Traveling to different universes can take a long time or a short time. After all, the knowledge and resources contained in a universe may not be fully understood in five hundred or one thousand years, let alone fifty or one hundred years.
"
"That's right, besides, Mr. Landao is going to a brand new universe this time. This kind of place is the easiest to produce some unique special knowledge and resources. As long as you are not unlucky enough to be targeted by the consciousness of the universe, you will definitely be able to wait.
How long will you stay?"
"That's right, but this must be Mr. Lando's first time traveling to another universe, right? As a pure novice, it is understandable even if he is kicked out in a very short time. Senior, I am here to remind you, if Lando
If Sir, if you return from another universe before even a hundred years, there is a high probability that you won't gain much and will be kicked out. At this time, Lord Lando will probably have a dark face. You must never do this again.
Go up and down and get into trouble."
“I see, I’ve learned, I’ve learned!”
"Thank you, senior, for the tip!"
"What if Lord Lando looks calm when he comes back?"
"Hmph! That's even bigger trouble! People at the level of a Grand Arcanist usually don't show their emotions or anger. If they just don't look good, they may only suffer a small loss, but if their faces are calm, maybe they are deep in their hearts.
What a huge wave is brewing! Just stay away at times like this!"
"Incisive, senior!"
“That’s a great summary!”
"It really comes from experience, seniors are great!"
"..."
While several Silver Tower Arcanists were performing this small professional theater, suddenly the indicator light in front of them flashed.
"Huh?"
One of them noticed this scene and thought he was dazzled, so he stared at the indicator light.
After just a few breaths, the indicator light flashed again as if there was poor reception.
The man's expression changed, he pointed at the indicator light and shouted: "It's flashing."
Upon hearing this, the senior immediately stopped bragging and looked at the indicator light as well.
Flash!
And it started flashing quickly and frequently, accompanied by a harsh sound.
The senior's expression changed, and he shouted without hesitation: "Quickly, activate the cross-universe teleportation array, run the elemental furnace at full power, activate the superstring positioning, turn on the space-time stabilizer, turn on the different universe scanning device, and demiplane protection
The magic circle is turned on to the maximum..."
"Where are the personnel on duty at the periphery? Everyone is on combat readiness and let the Silver Tower project its power..."
Because it is impossible to know the specific situation of the travelers, in order to prevent the great arcane masters traveling in different universes from being in danger and in urgent need of rescue, once the special signal is activated, the arcane universe will immediately open the cross-universe teleportation circle.
Waste no time at all.
At the same time, in order not to be invaded by special strange forces that may exist in different universes, various protection and scanning are naturally necessary. This is also an important reason why the cross-universe teleportation array is placed in the demiplane, which can play a layer of
The role of isolation.
As each magic circle and inscription was activated, various magic devices placed in the demiplane began to operate at full speed, and huge space-time energy began to surge in this space.
A few minutes later, Otto came in a hurry after receiving the news.
It is also customary for a Grand Arcanist who travels to another universe to have a Grand Arcanist present when he returns.
The dazzling light flashes dazzlingly.
The power of the cross-universe teleportation circle continues to be output.
Unlike when teleporting away, you only need to penetrate time and space once and let the teleporting Grand Arcanist carry enough protective power.
What is needed to lead the Grand Arcanist back is a continuous output of energy to maintain the stability of the transmission channel.
This process lasted for nearly an hour in total...
"Boom!~"
Amidst a violent roar, the cross-universe teleportation circle stopped operating. After the light dissipated, Lando slowly walked out of it, his face calm and indifferent.
He came back, and it took such a short time. He must have been kicked back by the Mythical Universe. This must be the case?!
Yes, yes, yes, and Mr. Lando still looks calm, but now he must be furious inside!
Hum hum, just watch, Mr. Lando will definitely say that the harvest is average, or not bad, to cover up his embarrassment.
When Odo saw Lando coming back, he looked him up and down first, and then asked with a smile: "You came back much earlier than I thought. How is it? How was the harvest?"
Lando smiled back and said calmly: "Not bad."
Senior is awesome! You can guess this!?
He has to be a senior!
We should listen to our seniors and stay away, lest we be punished tomorrow for leaving the door first with our left foot!
Yes, yes, run quickly!
Lando looked at the arcane masters in the corner who were constantly weakening their sense of existence, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Although he did not find out what they were discussing, the spiritual power still gave them what they wanted to express.
Passed it over.
Lando shook his head in disbelief and left side by side with his mentor Odo.
"Well, since you have returned safely, let's go and have a good rest first. The harvest that needs to be handed over in the Mythical Universe can be processed in a few days." Odo said with a smile.
Lando nodded.
The coordinates of different universes and the cross-universe teleportation array are both provided by the Silver Tower, so the relevant harvest has naturally been stipulated in the contract long ago, and the bulk of it that needs to be handed over is the various knowledge collected in the different universes.
Even though most of them have no effect in the arcane universe, the truth that stones from other mountains can attack jade has been known since ancient times. There are countless similar knowledges in any school. These are the foundation and wealth for arcanists.
After bidding farewell to his mentor Odo, Lando returned to his resting place and began to examine himself.
The first thing he paid attention to was the time he left.
Even in different worlds in the same universe, a day, a month, and a year are different, so Lando usually asks Xiao Hui to calculate according to the standard time stipulated by the Arcane Empire, which makes it easier for him to time himself.
Generally speaking, whether it is a small universe, a medium universe, a large universe or even a super giant universe, time is equal in a macroscopic sense.
In other words, if one second has passed in the large universe, then only one second has passed in the medium-sized universe and the small universe, and these two "one seconds" are actually equivalent in time scale.
However, when this apparently established rule is applied in practice, slight deviations may occur.
Just like Lando, the total time it took him to enter the Paradise Universe was 21,789 days in Arcane Empire standard time, which is about 59 years, while the Arcane Universe only passed 18,998 days, which was about 52 years.
This involves a special theory that the Arcane Empire has not yet understood, which is the theory of cosmic jet lag.
The core of this theory is that time is the same in any universe. It will not increase or decrease out of thin air, but will only be distorted to varying degrees according to the laws of the universe and its size.
