Chapter 962

Blue Star Xia calendar, ten thousand three hundred fifty years.

Lin Jiang’s Soul Fragment returned from Heavenly Court to Mahayana Star, counting Blue Star time, he has been up there for several decades, but on Mahayana Star, it is only about ten years; the time is different for both sides.

"It seems we need to set a starry time system, and we need to count according to Blue Star time."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Jiang said to Cao Ying, "A day on Blue Star is twenty-four hours, but each planet is different. For example, a day on Lingjing Star is thirty-six hours, while on Mahayana Star, it is one hundred hours. I’m not quite used to it."

"This way of using time has existed for a long time; it’s just that there wasn’t this concept. Look at the Space Battleship, the clocks and calendars have dozens of types corresponding to the time of each planet."

"Haha, I really didn’t pay much attention to that; it’s a small matter. However, this trip to Heavenly Court has indeed brought many rewards."

"Tell me, what rewards?"

"To put it this way, if you simply understand it using Immortal Language, there is no problem; one day in Heavenly Court equals one year on Mahayana Star, and that’s fine. But from a scientific perspective, there are many issues. Time and space remain the main focus of scientists. Unfortunately, I’m not a scientist. Otherwise, I would definitely be fascinated by Heavenly Court."

Lin Jiang said that what Heavenly Court presents should be very attractive to a scientist. Just the question of space alone would be enough to leave physicists puzzled.

"But I see that Liang Long doesn’t seem to care much; he has only been there once."

"Liang Long is different; he has self-awareness. His strength among the immortals is not very strong, so he avoids these things. Do you believe that once he has enough power, he might dare to challenge the Heavenly Court’s research?"

"I actually believe that."

Cao Ying nodded. For Liang Long, it was not a matter of daring or not; it was a matter of whether he was willing and if he could do it. Without the strength, he would definitely yield now.

"You go meet the Tao Achieving and the Demon Emperor from Blue Star, and arrange for the peak Tao Achievers to return to Blue Star. I will go see Liang Long."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Jiang said that in just these few decades, many Tao Achievers have appeared in Blue Star, and they all need to guard Mahayana Star. As for the peak Tao Achievers, they should return to Blue Star for hidden cultivation, as it ensures their strength; they can’t reveal all their cards.

Just like in the past thousand years, Lin Jiang kept his brothers off the battlefield; not only did they save their lives, but they also ensured that the path of Blue Star would not end, which served as a guiding role.

Lin Jiang quickly went to find Liang Long. Liang Long was at Mahayana Star Damo Academy. Lin Jiang thought the name Damo Academy sounded nice, so he kept it as a branch of the Spiritual Energy Research Institute.

Over the years, Liang Long has been doing research and teaching students at Damo Academy. A group of scientists from Mahayana Star worshipped Liang Long greatly, admiring him immensely.

"Ancestor Lin, have you returned from the Heavenly Court?"

"Hmm, how far did your Soul Fragment travel?"

"About three to five thousand light-years, just wandering around."

Liang Long said he still had a Soul Fragment drifting in space with a Space Mother Ship, lost for hundreds of years, wandering thousands of light-years away.

"Haven’t you found a single living planet?"

"No, didn’t I send over a hundred coordinates to Blue Star? Didn’t they send anyone to explore?"

"They did, but they’re not there yet. They’re too slow. Now the probes can travel at about one-tenth the speed of light, and the closest coordinates are hundreds of light-years away; it will take thousands of years to reach them."

"That’s true. Now that you’re at the Heavenly Court, what do you want to ask?"

"What can you tell me? I have many questions, but I don’t know where to start."

Lin Jiang said that Liang Long knew him very well and understood that once he entered the Heavenly Court, he would have many questions.

"Let me share my thoughts. First, Heavenly Court is not part of our three-dimensional space. I’m not sure if it is four-dimensional, but scientists’ predictions about four-dimensional space are basically wrong."

"I remember that among scientists’ guesses about four-dimensional space, there was a part about spatial rules."

"Yes, they are mostly wrong. Not completely wrong, just like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. Some things cannot be described in words, just like creatures in a two-dimensional world cannot depict our three-dimensional world."

"So, are we fairies considered four-dimensional beings?"

"No, we can only say we have the ability to enter and exit four-dimensional space, but we know very little about a four-dimensional space like the Heavenly Court, right?"

"Yes, my guess is that the power of rules is actually the ability of four-dimensional space, which is equivalent to a cultivator’s spells."

"I think the same way, so I wonder if there are naturally occurring four-dimensional beings, like indigenous fairies."

"I haven’t heard of that. Fairies seem not to live very long; most of them fall midway."

Lin Jiang said that he already knew Li Canghai had lived a long time in the Heavenly Court, but it was only a million years, and that was counted in Blue Star time. There weren’t many who lived longer than Li Canghai; most had fallen along the way and the remaining ones were mostly unfamiliar, being the trusted aides of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Actually, we could test it; you and Cao Ying can have a child in the Heavenly Court."

"Get lost, you want to use me as an experiment?"

"It’s not like you’ll lose anything."

"No, let’s skip that. If you want to do it yourself, I’ve seen quite a few female immortals in the Heavenly Court."

Lin Jiang said the male to female ratio in the Heavenly Court was quite unbalanced, about ten to one. However, there were still many female immortals since the total number was high there.

"I’ll pass on that. How about this: I’ll write a report based on what I know, trying to use simple and easy-to-understand words. Just don’t spread this around; our strength in the Heavenly Court is still too weak."

"Alright, let’s do that."

Lin Jiang said he also wanted some answers; otherwise, he would feel very uncomfortable. He was afraid of getting stuck on the details.

·······

After Lin Jiang returned from the Heavenly Court, he quickly went on a mission to Taibai Star again. This was not his first time going to Taibai Star.

The war had just ended when Lin Jiang visited once, bringing many supplies to Taibai Star. At that time, Taibai Star was in great need of supplies, and Lin Jiang wanted to make more allies; after all, it’s good to have many friends.

"Taoist Friend Di."

"Taoist Friend Lin, no, I should call you senior."

"It has been a long time since I visited Taibai Star. Taibai Star is very different now. The scars of the war have healed, and Taoist Friend Di played an important role in this."

"Ah, the ruins of the war have been cleared, but the population has still not fully recovered. Our Taibai Star suffered greatly in this battle."

Taoist Friend Di sighed and said, "In the previous battle, the population of Taibai Star lost more than sixty percent, and the losses among cultivators were even greater, especially the masters above Tao Achieving, over half were lost. This cannot be made up for in just a few decades."

In this regard, Lin Jiang had nothing much to say; he had taught what needed to be taught, like how to stimulate the birth rate, but the wounds of Taibai Star were too serious.

During this trip, Lin Jiang mainly talked about the idea of an alliance for attack and defense. If the Taibai Star was willing to cooperate further, the safety of the Mahayana Star’s flanks would be assured, as Taibai Star is still a strong power in the Tianbei Star Domain.

Moreover, the immortals from Taibai Star are very powerful. Many planets in the Tianbei Star Domain are branches of Taibai Star. Counting them, there are over a hundred immortals on the Taibai Star side.

Taoist Friend Di had no reason to refuse Lin Jiang’s offer. Taibai Star currently lacks many things, and Lin Jiang can provide them. Anyone who refuses would be foolish.
