Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 582: Time-Space Base·South Rotating Base_1
As Wang Linchi descended from the plane, someone was already there to greet him.
"Welcome to South Rotating Base; we've been expecting you for quite a while, Councilman Wang," said a staff member who came forward to help him with his luggage as soon as he spotted him.
Wang Linchi's luggage was minimal, consisting only of some simple clothing.
"Thanks for the trouble," Wang Linchi said, but instead of handing over his luggage, he asked, "So, what happens next after my arrival? Any procedures I should know about?"
"Just a few minor protocols," the staff member responded without awkwardness. He naturally started to lead the way, explaining the situation regarding the Time-Space Base and the Spacetime Rift.
The Time-Space Base is a frontline fortress, crafted from countless precious materials to halt the expansion of the Spacetime Rift and the invasion of Rift Life.
In the whole Federation, besides the Summoners at the top of the pyramid, the highest expenditure goes to the Time-Space Base. The daily maintenance costs are not a small sum.
After all, the Base is constantly resisting the Spacetime Rift. It's only natural that there would be some wear and tear.
As for the Spacetime Rift, it's a special domain formed by fragments of time and space, and these fragments are not fixed; they change over time.
If a fracture appears in a time-space fragment, Rift Life can fall out from the Spacetime Rift, and then a battle typically follows.
However, these fragments of time and space are not entirely without pattern; they follow certain laws and logic.
All the scenes presented by the time-space fragments are not peaceful eras but periods of massive, bloody battles between humans and the Alien Race.
For instance, there were the wars between Devils and monks, swordsmen and Demons, and other series of large-scale, bloody battles; furthermore, those battles were quite brutal.
What's more important is that in most of these battles, the Alien Race has the upper hand. The Federation's forces must intervene to relieve the situation and thereby prevent the invasion of Rift Life.
Rift Life naturally refers to beings like Devils and Demons. Monks or swordsmen are mostly humans, and they would not invade the Federation's territory.
Upon killing Rift Life or entering Spacetime Rifts to help the Human Clan defeat the Alien Race, one could obtain Awakening Materials.
The origin of Awakening Materials is disputed, but the most popular opinion is that they are either condensed from the Spacetime Rift itself or looted items.
"I see. The Spacetime Rift truly is a big trouble. I wonder if there's a solution?" Wang Linchi asked.
"So far, we haven't found a way to shrink or close the Spacetime Rift," the staff member shook his head. Such things just didn't exist.
If they did, the Spacetime Rift wouldn't have caused problems up until now; they would have dealt it a decisive blow long ago.
"Here we are, Councilman Wang. This is your accommodation." The staff member led Wang Linchi to a room that was fully furnished and well decorated.
"Thank you," Wang Linchi replied after entering the room.
The staff member responded with a polite gesture and then left.
He had come to make himself known. His conversation style wasn't overly flattering; it was more like making an acquaintance, which didn't make Wang Linchi feel annoyed.
So he didn't bother Wang Linchi any further and excused himself after showing Wang Linchi to his room.
After Wang Linchi briefly sorted out his luggage, he began to observe the entire Time-Space Base.
The cost is indeed high, Wang Linchi immediately noted the structure of the entire base and also sensed the distant Spacetime Rift.
Even though he already possessed a large amount of data regarding the Spacetime Rift, a close-up observation still revealed many extraordinary aspects.
It's a bit like the Secret Realm of the Great View; only, unlike the Secret Realm, it has relevant countermeasures, Wang Linchi made a comparison and noted the differences.
The Secret Realm of the Great View was more like a swallowed meatball, being digested in the stomach.
The Spacetime Rift was different. It was like a wound on the world that was festering and discharging pus.
The Heroic Spirit World was also exploiting this wound, forcefully absorbing the End of Law World. It was a double-edged sword, damaging the enemy as well as itself.
However, the damage it inflicted on the enemy was like severing a major artery, whereas the self-inflicted wound was merely a minor cut on the arm. It was a case of inflicting a thousand injuries on the enemy for every hundred it suffered itself.
Originally, there shouldn't have been a problem. But who could have foreseen that the opponent carried an incurable and infectious disease? When its blood sprayed onto the Heroic Spirit World, it brought the incurable disease along with it.
Once the Spacetime Rift expanded to a certain extent, the power of the Calamity of the Last Law would be revealed.
So, in reality, it was a three-layered structure: the Time-Space Base suppressed the Spacetime Rift, and beneath the Spacetime Rift lay the Calamity of the Last Law.
Now, the Calamity of the Last Law was beginning to seep through the Spacetime Rift. It was only temporarily blocked at the doorway; once it successfully entered the world, the consequences would be obvious.
But what exactly is suppressing the Calamity of the Last Law?
Wang Linchi couldn't help but ponder this. In the End of Law World, Wang Linchi knew that Divinity could resist it to a certain degree, but the effect wasn't very good; after a period, it would disappear completely.
His ability to resist the Calamity of the Last Law wasn't because he had found a way to oppose it, but because his race was World.
However, the Time-Space Base could resist it. This indicated that the Heroic Spirit World had evolved a corresponding resistance and then applied it in reality.
The best solution would be to find the blueprints of the Time-Space Base along with the construction process.
Or better yet, let me supervise the construction of a Time-Space Base so I can observe the data throughout the entire process.
Wang Linchi quickly found a direction, but he knew it would take time to implement these ideas. He wished he could get it done in the next second, but reality wouldn't bend to his will.
I'd better resolve the Heroic Spirit issue first. Wang Linchi mentally broke down his plan; he still had to proceed one step at a time. At least until a new Spacetime Rift appears, it's unlikely another Time-Space Base will be built. Each construction is a drain on resources and manpower. They can't just wave a magic wand to get things done. Even simple communication can take ten days to half a month to reach a preliminary consensus, considering the wide variety of interests involved.
Team up or go solo? Wang Linchi was leaning towards going solo.
However, no sooner had this thought crossed his mind than there was a knock on the door.
"Are you busy, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Linchi didn't need to think to know it was someone looking to team up with him. His Heroic Spirit's abilities were now well-known; he was a powerful auxiliary Heroic Spirit. So, it was only normal for people to seek him out for team-ups, making him a popular prospect.
"Coming, coming." Wang Linchi got up to open the door. I'll team up for now, test the waters, and conveniently find a few cannon fodder.
...
All members had successfully completed their fourth Awakening. Bai Xuan looked at his assets, which had once again hit rock bottom, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.
The cost of nurturing Heroic Spirits is simply too high! Even if I grind missions day and night, I only earn just enough resources to train them, with nothing left over.
Next, I need to arrange for the sixth Heroic Spirit.
Bai Xuan knew that the only way to upgrade his Simulator System was by increasing the number of Heroic Spirits; the more Heroic Spirits he had, the higher his Simulator System's level would become.
Given my current strength, the Summoning Medium I need can't be of low quality. The Summoning Medium is the simulation medium. A low-quality medium means the status I can inhabit is also low. Therefore, I need a high-status medium so I can start from a higher point.
But it cannot be too high... This brings up another issue: the higher the medium's quality, the fewer simulation attempts I'll have.
So, it's either starting high with fewer chances for trial and error, or starting low with plenty of chances. I'd like to strike a balance: find a medium of average status that also offers opportunities for mistakes.
But such mediums are hard to find. It's easy to find famous figures, but average individuals don't often make it into history books, so finding them is mostly a matter of Luck.
This is a real headache, and I can't talk openly about it. Bai Xuan knew that if he openly sought a high-quality Summoning Medium, others wouldn't find it suspicious. After all, I've summoned five Unparalleled Quality Heroic Spirits, so most people assume I have this capability. On the other hand, choosing a mediocre medium and then summoning an Unparalleled Quality Heroic Spirit would be too conspicuous. As it is, having five Unparalleled Quality Heroic Spirits has already attracted too much attention. Some people are even trying to uncover my secret and have already started taking action. Once my Simulator System is exposed, I'm bound to face trouble.
