Chapter 42 Boundless Emptiness
Chapter 42 Boundless Emptiness
Su An had never felt the world so clear before; now he could see every single hair in the Bronze City.
"I see it clearly! I understand everything!"
He laughed wildly, his fingers flying across the screen.
The map sections moved rapidly, old roads were blocked, and new roads appeared. A few seconds later, a completely new map appeared on Su An's monitor.
Su An couldn't believe his eyes. He took his hands off the keyboard, his eyes wide. He hadn't done anything else, but just as Gojo Satoru had promised, a miracle was happening right before his eyes. He really had X-ray vision! X-ray vision was amazing!
"This is the map...this is the map now!" Su An stood up and shouted, "I've solved it!"
The new map immediately appeared on the big screen, and after a brief silence, everyone turned to look at Su An.
The stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was in an uproar.
"It's really solved!"
"Truly worthy of being an S-rank!"
"It hasn't been that long!"
"Even Norton wouldn't arrive this quickly!"
"It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. Look at how hard Caesar tried, but he still couldn't turn the tide."
"Who says otherwise? I reckon this year's students will all be living in Su An's shadow."
"Noble bloodline, ferocious fighting spirit, sharp mind—truly born to slay dragons!"
"What do you mean this year? I estimate that for the next ten years, Kassel will be Su An's stage all to himself. How many years does it take for an S-class to emerge? Do you think S-class is like cabbage, popping up every year?"
Once the map was deciphered, understanding it became incredibly easy; everyone realized it was the correct result. The control room was filled with astonishment and wonder—astonishment at this…
The S-class once again turned the tide; Ye Sheng and Aki should have received the map by now.
The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, a strange abyss beneath turbulent waves. Just as Su Ande's map was transmitted to Ye Sheng's mind via Norma's radio waves, Ye Sheng was undergoing an unbearable ordeal at the bottom of the sea.
Ye Sheng heard a calm voice: "My name is Su An. Now listen to me—I've already deciphered the map."
Immediately afterwards, a massive amount of information flooded into Ye Sheng's brain through the "snake," just like the water of the entire Pacific Ocean flowing into the Yangtze River.
Ye Sheng's brain was like a computer overclocked to the point of overheating, and the immense pain felt like it was being torn apart.
Ye Sheng felt he was about to give up; his consciousness was like a giant beast panting heavily from exhaustion, ready to collapse at any moment.
But he couldn't. The information contained the last chance to escape. Deciphering it revealed a huge three-dimensional map that appeared directly in Ye Sheng's mind.
Ye Sheng didn't know why Norma didn't help him this time, but instead directly transmitted the most basic information that Su An had deciphered to him.
The enormous bronze city, perhaps the real "White Emperor City" in history, is now completely transparent under Su An's guidance.
Ye Sheng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief in the water, suddenly froze.
Giant bubbles rose from the bottom of the bronze city, verdigris gears meshed together, and lever mechanisms transmitted intricate power—and so—
The city came back to life.
For some reason, this super-mechanism, which was forged two thousand years ago, has come back to life. The walls that seemed to be cast as a single piece have split apart, and hundreds of cubic meters of air that remained in the Bronze City have escaped through the cracks.
The bronze passageways are completely different; these complex bronze passageways, much like urban heating systems, rotate and reconnect.
Just like when a revolver is fired, the cylinder rotates and a new magazine is delivered to the muzzle.
The Bronze City never stopped operating, but the escape routes changed!
Ye Sheng stared in shock!
"There's a shadow!"
A dark dragon shadow flashed out from behind the bronze bell.
......................
Kassel College, in front of a giant screen.
A white-haired phantom, visible only to Su An, had bright blue eyes and a serious expression.
"A monster is approaching them."
"monster?"
"The best course of action now is—"
Gojo Satoru raised his finger, and the dreamlike light and shadow seemed to converge into a universe.
He asked Su An:
Have you ever heard of domain unfolding?
............................................
The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River lie beneath a deep abyss.
Ye Sheng felt like he was going crazy. They had indeed obtained the map, but the map was constantly changing.
Imagine you're looking at a map of Beijing. You see Chaoyang District slowly moving towards FS District, while HD District is sliding clockwise to fill Chaoyang District's position. The East Third Ring Road is separating from the North Third Ring Road and then connecting with the South Second Ring Road a moment later!
At this point, it would be strange if a driver who needs to get out of the city within half an hour didn't go crazy.
Behind them, a bronze wall carved with 20-meter-tall snake-faced men was slowly collapsing, looking as if the sky itself was falling. Aki hooked her arm around Ye Sheng's neck and swam forward. Ye Sheng was almost exhausted; while enslaving the "snake" with his words of power, he was as weak as a child.
Aki's mind was a jumbled mess as she thought back to when they were in college.
At that time, Ye Sheng was an eighteen-year-old young man who had just arrived in the United States from China. He had two thick, black eyebrows that flew up, and he was the best swimmer in his class.
The following year, he became the captain of the sailing team and won back the Golden Fleece Cup from the University of Chicago, a title he had missed for ten years from Kassel College. He was very popular among the girls in his class.
His greatest hobby seemed to be mocking Aki. During every swimming lesson, while the clumsy Aki was still warming up in the middle of the 1,000-meter warm-up, Ye Sheng had already finished swimming the 1,000 meters and also gotten a tan.
He was only wearing swimming trunks, his broad-shouldered and long-armed upper body exposed.
He patted his own butt at Aki and said some cheeky things like, "Is it because Japanese people have shorter legs that they can't swim fast?"
Then he suddenly showed a look of despair and said something like, "We're partners now, I'm not going to die underwater, am I?" Then he chuckled, looking as utterly despicable as could be.
Everything from the past played out before Aki like a revolving lantern, and tears streamed down her face, but in the dark depths of the water, only she herself could see those tears.
"Ye Sheng, I..." She gritted her teeth, trying to say something.
Suddenly, a fierce voice burst into the channel.
"You two young lovers won't die, I'm telling you!"
From now on, listen to me completely!
As Su An roared, he recalled the teachings of Gojo Satoru.
"Domain expansion is often a warlock's ultimate skill."
"When a sorcerer expends a huge amount of magical power, he can create a life-giving field around himself that has been imbued with a spell."
Within the area, you will receive a buff, and spells cast to apply the area will always hit.
There are three ways to deal with this: counter with techniques, escape the domain, or suppress with one's own domain.
Once the domain is expanded, the spells originally imprinted in the body will temporarily melt and become difficult to use.
However, in any case, the only way to save those divers right now is to expand the field.
Su An's voice, transmitted via satellite, crossed oceans, pierced through clouds, and fell into the abyss—Ye Shengya's communication channel—
"My domain is called the Boundless Void."
