Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1381 - 5: Rushing to the Aid of History (Part 2)

The crowd in Yiji Hall was having a great time with the talisman swords, Qin Qianbai spoke with a hint of breathlessness: "At least believe in Alandia and Shiyu Ling..."

Liu Zhongwu, despite his wealth of experience, was still a Calamity Mage, not accustomed to space-time travel. Therefore, after last night’s discussion, everyone unanimously decided to request the intervention of Dawn Knight. Alandia, far away in Cangdu, extended the True World directly to the Divine Capital, where she conducted a reverse analysis of the Fan Ding Realm with extremely rich intelligence support. Within a night, Alandia essentially deciphered the mechanism of the Divine Capital’s Fan Ding Realm, and she is currently directing the construction of the array on-site in the form of a white matter avatar, discussing details with Shiyu Ling.

"Alandia predicted three times, ensuring your successful entry into that simulated history won’t be difficult; essentially, the thing is just a super-large barrier created by the Fan Ding Realm, you just use the Manifestation Method to smash a hole and get in directly," Shiyu Ling explained to him, "The problem arises with what happens after entering; the simulated history will surely notice the intruder, you need to ascertain whether your actions have had an effect... In short, you need to find a way to measure space-time fluctuations."

"Does the strategist have any brilliant plan?" Gongsun Ce asked.

Shiyu Ling beckoned him with her finger, and Gongsun Ce obediently leaned forward and kissed her, only to receive a harsh pinch from the strategician lady: "I called you over to give you something, not for a kiss!"

"Oh oh, I thought it was a farewell kiss..."

"Your little brain is filled with nothing but lust." Shiyu Ling rolled her eyes, "Here, take this."

Shiyu Ling placed a lifelike little gray rabbit in his palm, with a pocket watch cradled in its arms. Inside the watch was a long hand pointing to the center, with "+" and "-" signs marked on either side.

"If you’ve facilitated the right actions in the past, the hand will diverge in the positive direction. Conversely, the greater the disparity between past and present, the more the hand will lean towards the negative direction. And if the Fan Ding Realm takes measures against you..."

The gray rabbit started jumping in Gongsun Ce’s palm, Shiyu Ling proudly stated, "The rabbit will jump, the more frantic the jump, the worse the situation – an unmistakable warning, right?"

"Much more intuitive than those little gyroscopic digital transistors, you’re truly thoughtful." Gongsun Ce carefully put away the rabbit, "Qiluo, have you sorted out the communication method?"

"Completed~"

Qiluo dashed in from outside the door, hopping to avoid the pipes on the ground and plunged into his arms: "The specific process will only start when you enter; I will hack a communication point in the ’past’ you’re heading to through Alandia’s help and release a signal. Then you should see a noticeable ’mark’. If after a day of travel Gongsun Ce has seen nothing..."

"Release the Manifestation Method after drawing the sword, and forcibly leave the virtual history."

Alandia’s avatar finally approached, meticulously arranging Gongsun Ce’s hair and collar. Her advice almost seemed inhumanly indifferent: "Ce, from the most utilitarian perspective, your safety is more important than anything else at present. With Sky Extreme and Red Emperor disconnected, we cannot afford to lose you, our combat asset. If contact fails, detach immediately and ensure your safety."

Gongsun Ce blinked: "You could also phrase it as ’I can’t lose you as a lover’..."

"Mind the occasion." Alandia gently tapped his forehead, "Be prepared."

"There’s nothing really to prepare; we don’t even have a plan this time." Gongsun Ce sighed, "Crown Prince, can’t you provide some more intelligence to us buddies?"

Chi Zijing stood with hands behind his back, smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "I can’t, Brother Gongsun. The more you know about past history, the faster the Fan Ding Realm will perceive it, and the swifter the counterattack. If we were to tell you everything about that period of history, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even have the opportunity to enter ’history’; you’d have to contend with the Order King..."

"The location is the Divine Capital, the time is thirteen years ago, that’s the most information we can currently provide." Liu Zhongwu emphasized the word currently, "Gongsun Ce, you’re clever enough to deduce who you might encounter. As for the turning point of history, even Zijing hasn’t known the information... It’s up to you to find out yourself."

"Luckily, I’m somewhat of a second-rate detective; otherwise, if it were someone else, they’d be completely lost." Gongsun Ce said, "Alright, I’ve made all the calls this morning, and I’m all prepared; if there’s nothing else, would everyone kindly afford me some private space, so I can say goodbye to my family before departing."

Liu and Chi Zijing led An Yushi and others out one after another, the girls hugged and kissed Gongsun Ce one by one. Qin Qianbai stayed until last, and gave him one more tight hug.

"Sorry, Ah Ce. I couldn’t help you out." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"No, you’re going to help me the most." Gongsun Ce smiled, "While I’m away, take good care of your city, so I can save the past with peace of mind."

"Mm, leave it to me."

Gongsun Ce patted her on the head and, after saying farewell to everyone, walked to the center of the array in Liangyi Hall. The circuits formed by mercury and gold began to shine, with the ring-shaped apparatus in the center emitting a black and white glow. He performed a mock salute to everyone, grinning he said:

"Gongsun Ce of Jihui Bureau, ordered to traverse!"

In the next moment, the light dispersed, and Lord of Jihui Bureau vanished without a trace. He felt as if he had been thrown into a transparent vortex, the entire world spinning madly, the black and white streams of light flickered like electricity, leaving shadow-like faint traces on the retina.

Blink.

Having experienced the information perspective once through Qiluo, it provided him with leverage to travel, imagining himself becoming enormous, enough to transcend the vortex, controlling it in his hand. The observing angle changed with his will, and in an instant, the vortex and lightning disappeared, he saw a wall of black and white that spanned the heavens and earth. He summoned an arm of the Heavenly Demon and struck with all his might, smashing open a breach that connected the two realms on the wall!

Once the charred crack appeared, it rapidly healed. Gongsun Ce transformed himself into a wisp of invisible, colorless air, and slipped into the wall before the crack vanished. He followed the guide in his heart all the way downward, until his cognitive filter gradually faded away, and the tangible sensation of solid ground returned to him.

The bustling sounds of the streets drilled into his ears, the northern fierce wind brushed his clothes. Gongsun Ce slowly opened his eyes, he was standing in the middle of a lively street, the hawking cries of simply dressed merchants on either side echoing endlessly. The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, tofu pudding, and sesame cakes wafted in with the wind, forming an ordinary northern winter morning with the dawn rising from the clouds.

A crumpled newspaper wrapping a sweet potato spun in the wind and was caught by Gongsun Ce. The first page of the old black-and-white newspaper still retained its square, bold frame, with the four large characters of "Divine Capital Daily" marked prominently on the left side:

December 3, 1997, Monday.

This is thirteen years ago, the Divine Capital.
