Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 512 - 1: The Lost Planet

In the pitch-black void.

Su Ziyu’s figure gradually emerged, but the moment he arrived, his expression changed instantly, and he couldn’t help exclaiming, "Holy crap!"

"Why did I descend into outer space this time!..."

In the distance was a gigantic planet, with about forty percent of the area being land, and the remaining parts consisting of seas and glaciers. Above the atmosphere was a swirling, terrifying storm eye, and the climate seemed extremely harsh. Su Ziyu was currently positioned near this planet’s satellite orbit. Although a demigod can survive without air, traversing interstellar distances and maintaining prolonged outer space existence solely based on personal ability remains challenging.

Different planes have different laws.

In planes with low energy levels, a demigod can be considered the strongest entity on a planet, but in some high-energy level planes, situations of ’demigods as common as dogs and Witch Demons everywhere’ can occur.

Especially within those high-energy level pantheon planes, the number of demigods can reach an exaggerated extent.

This is why, despite Su Ziyu’s advancement to demigod, he remains cautious and vigilant.

The plane for his current mission is also a high-difficulty world.

Which means there could be entities of the same level or even higher than him.

—"Spiritual Transmission!"

Su Ziyu raised his hand, conjured a Spiritual Protection Field, and then closed his eyes to lock onto the spatial node near the planet. With a flash of spiritual light, his figure had already appeared hundreds of kilometers above the atmosphere.

"Why is the magnetic field of this planet so bizarre?"

Su Ziyu sensed it with his closed eyes and murmured, "So chaotic! Sometimes strong, sometimes weak!..."

"Cannot teleport directly!"

"Seems like I can only land using another method."

As Su Ziyu contemplated, suddenly the Space-Time Monitor System prompt emerged:

"Detected high-intensity solar flare energy burst!"

"Please take protective measures!"

Su Ziyu paused momentarily, then without hesitation, activated the Spiritual Protection Field to its maximum. His figure transformed into a stream of light, plunging towards the atmosphere of the planet ahead.

—"Telekinesis Burst!"

Su Ziyu instantly transformed into a blinding sphere of light, like a meteor streaking across the sky, rapidly descending towards the planet in front.

One way or another, it’s best to land first.

Given his current enhancement level, engaging in outer space activities is still somewhat challenging.

Meanwhile.

Near a satellite orbiting this planet, in a concealed underground base, a cold electronic mechanical voice suddenly sounded:

"Warning! Warning!"

"Detected level 10 spiritual fluctuations!..."

"Warning! Warning!"

"Detected level 10 spiritual fluctuations!..."

"Unable to determine target race through spiritual wavelengths, data analysis in progress!..."

"Probability of target being an interstellar superior race: 36%!..."

"Probability of target being a Zerg Dominator: 24%!..."

"Probability of target being an ancient race: 21%!..."

"Probability of target being extraordinary humans: 19%!..."

The empty command center flashed with red light, with a seat at the forefront occupied by a human corpse wearing strange silver-white armor. A conspicuous hole was at the temple, and a damaged energy pistol lay scattered at the feet.

He seemed to have committed suicide.

The cold electronic mechanical voice paused briefly, then sounded again: "Execute the preliminary plan."

"Relevant intelligence is being transmitted back to the Empire database!..."

"AWC-196, Pegasus Star System, detected level 10 spiritual fluctuations!... Target suspected to be an interstellar superior race!... Purpose of appearance in this star system is unknown!..."

"Current star system contains unknown dangers!..."

"Strength of psychic whispers at [Advanced] level!..."

"Transmission complete."

The red lights in the hall flickered slightly, then gradually extinguished, plunging the entire underground base into darkness.

Boom!

In the vast desert, a radiant meteor suddenly fell from the sky. Amidst the violent impact, a cloud of dust and sand erupted, forming a large pit about fifteen meters in diameter at the center of the impact site.

"Whew."

"Finally landed safely." Su Ziyu slowly stood up from a kneeling position. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Suddenly.

He felt a buzz in his head, with eerie whispers appearing in his consciousness, causing a needle-like discomfort in his mind, briefly bewildering his spirit.

—"Mind Defense Barrier!"

Without hesitation, Su Ziyu activated a Mind Defense Barrier, then frowned as he flew towards the sky. His expression puzzled as he glanced around, murmuring, "What’s going on?"

"These eerie voices!..."

There was no life around, whether in the sky or underground.

Located near the desert’s center, the survival environment was extremely harsh, and within the perception range, no spiritual light was detected.

"Why is there such strong psychic whispers?" Su Ziyu gently tapped his brow with his hand, directly sealing a portion of the outward-spreading Perception Spirituality.

The wider his perception spread, the clearer those eerie whispers became.

"Isn’t this the world of Mechanical Ascension?" Su Ziyu frowned.

These eerie voices, known as psychic whispers, are emitted by certain entities using spiritual energy.

Some locations in the Wasteland Plane have them too.

"Forget it. Let’s leave the desert first." Su Ziyu chose the direction of the rising sun and flew towards it.
