Chapter 284: 152, Second Cosmic!_5
After all, it was many times stronger than his actual strength had shown.
“Then… Minister, should I go today? Are there any prisoners or rare divine office holders left?” Lin Qing asked knowingly.
“Just two, both dead,” Minister Xu shook his head.
“Alright,” Lin Qing sighed helplessly.
Minister Xu said, “The urban circle’s various extraterrestrial civilization forces will also send teams, and Dean Chu and Master Qi have already contacted for you.”
Lin Qing nodded slightly.
In his heart, though, he was thinking it would be great if he could eliminate these teams as well.
But he also knew it wasn’t realistic.
Although these extraterrestrial prisoners had backing, they were currently unable to intervene on Earth.
And those exploration teams from the urban circle came from top forces, each backed on Earth and each more terrifying in strength than the last.
At the very least, they all had original-level clerics behind them.
Currently, he was not eager to provoke enemies of that level.
After ending the call, Lin Qing continued to focus on his cultivation.
Wave after wave of original energy continually converged in his mind, sketching the peculiar lines and edges of the pseudo divine state, forming that unique pattern.
Lin Qing could feel it… the pseudo divine state was very close to taking its complete form.
Upper Minister Xu Shaofeng sent a message saying the urban circle’s team wanted to meet.
Lin Qing immediately boarded his newly exchanged fighter jet and hurried to the Inspection Headquarters.
Upon arriving at the conference room in the headquarters, Lin Qing found it empty except for Xu Shaofeng himself.
“Here you go,” Xu Shaofeng handed Lin Qing a pale gray ring, smiled, and said, “Those geniuses of the urban circle see us as natives, how could they possibly come to meet you in person?”
“Guess I thought too highly of myself,” Lin Qing also smiled, immediately took the ring, and asked puzzledly, “What is this?”
Xu Shaofeng replied, “It’s something Dean Chu asked me to give you, a consciousness sensor, or should I say… a Second Cosmic Network login device.”
Lin Qing’s eyes lit up.
“Telekinesis and personal gene energy can be used, telekinesis is more convenient though,” Xu Shaofeng said.
“Alright, I’m heading back,” Lin Qing nodded, then asked, “However, why didn’t Dean Chu just have someone deliver it directly to me?”
“It is a bit strange.”
Xu Shaofeng said, “Perhaps he doesn’t want to make you seem too special, but once you go online, Dean Chu will contact you.”
After putting on the ring, Lin Qing immediately released a strand of telekinesis into it.
At once, he sensed an overwhelmingly vast fluctuation, as if looking up at the boundless starry sky for the first time, becoming aware of the existence of a vast universe, his consciousness quickly immersing into it.
At the same time, this cosmos-like vast fluctuation also transmitted a stream of messages to his consciousness.
[Welcome, Cosmic Citizen, your current citizen level is one star.]
[Every 16 days, 21 hours, 54 minutes, and 11 seconds, The Second Cosmic will reset once, and all consciousness outside of the attached spaces will be expelled from The Second Cosmic.]
[Each time The Second Cosmic resets, it will reflect the Main Cosmic.]
[The next reset time is in 16 days, 16 hours, 37 minutes, and 15 seconds.]
When Lin Qing reopened his eyes, he was slightly startled.
Around him was still the cultivation room he was familiar with.
“Isn’t this supposed to take me into the Second Cosmic Network? Why am I still in reality… huh?”
But in a moment, he violently realized—
This was the Second Cosmic Network!
“Resets every 16 days, 21 hours, 54 minutes, 11 seconds, reflecting the Main Cosmic?”
Lin Qing noticed that the position of the potion box in the cultivation room was different; it clearly was the position it had been in a few hours before he had taken out any potions.
“This Second Cosmic Network, it’s exactly like reality? Reflecting the Main Cosmic?”
At this moment, he understood why it was called the [Second Cosmic]!
A stream of light flew out, transforming into the three-no-loli Chen Guang.
“How did you get in too?” Lin Qing asked, puzzled.
Chen Guang replied, “Because you came in, Master. Chuanxing Tower is originally an attached space of the Second Cosmic Network, and as an attached intelligence, of course, I would come in with you.”
“Chuanxing Tower is an attached space of the Second Cosmic Network?” Lin Qing was astonished.
“Of course,” Chen Guang said, “But Chuanxing Tower is only a one star-level attached space, so its functions are limited.”
“What about Dusk Front’s Twilight Paradise?” Lin Qing asked curiously.
Chen Guang thought for a moment, then said, “I’m not sure, but it can change the flow of time, so it’s at least a two-star level attached space, right?”
Lin Qing pushed open the large door of the cultivation room, walked out of the villa, and with a sweep of telekinesis, he found that this Second Cosmic Network wasn’t much different from the real world; the people he knew also existed.
“The Second Cosmic Network, compared to the real world, except for Cosmic Citizens, everything is exactly the same?”, Lin Qing asked.
“Right.” Chen Guang nodded and said, “Actually, Cosmic Citizens before entering the Second Cosmic Network are the same as in the real world, all living beings are calculated and simulated by intelligence.”
“The same, what’s the point of that?”, Lin Qing wondered.
“Of course there’s a point.”
Chen Guang said, “In the real world, time can’t go backwards. Once there’s a mistake, it can’t be rectified, but in this Second Cosmic Network which is exactly like the real world, even if you did something irreversible, it won’t affect reality, and even the biggest fear can be resolved.”
“Master, this is essentially giving all Cosmic Race citizens of the universe a chance to redeem themselves.”
She looked at Lin Qing, “For example, wars between the Human Clan and different races, by using the Second Cosmic Network to reflect reality, also have a chance for trials.”
