Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1567 Observing the Void and Exploring the Mind

After Chen Chuan focused his mind, he emptied his body and mind. After a while, many vague pieces of information arose in his mind.

This is the experience he has gained over the past few days. There is no need to deliberately look at it. As long as he stays at the edge of this level, these things will naturally be perceived by himself.

And as he persists for longer, the information will become more and more in-depth and clearer.

After some time, he gradually came to perceive the two worlds, but they were still blurry, and he was unable to see the whole picture.

In his perception, the two worlds were like two huge clouds, embracing each other internally, but their surfaces were erratic and attracted to each other, like wisps of mist gathering in the gap between them, with a small part of them making contact and connecting, but intermittently and unstablely.

As we can see, the spiritual world is almost everywhere and constantly changing, while the material world is much more restrained and stable.

However, in terms of the overall situation, the spiritual world is undoubtedly more dominant, and the material world appears to be completely enveloped by it. If viewed in this way, it seems destined to be slowly devoured by the spiritual world.

It's like he gradually refines the immortal seed within the field. Even if the immortal seed can hold on at first, it will eventually be ground down and completely merged into one.

If we extrapolate from this result, it is indeed a hopeless and terrifying future.

However, there is still a difference. Immortal Seeds are unconscious and can only be manipulated at will once captured; while they have their own will and power. They will not allow themselves to be devoured and digested by the other side. They will struggle and resist, and become stronger in the process.

As he pondered this thought, with a deeper understanding, he also saw a scene: those intertwined tentacles did not continue indefinitely, but would suddenly break off after a short while.

He soon discovered that although the spiritual world subsequently attracted the surface of the material world, and more misty tentacles reached out to connect with it, the same scene would occur every time.

It seemed as if an invisible force was preventing the two from getting closer. He immediately realized that this was likely the higher powers of this world preventing these changes.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he instinctively felt that this was the case.

In addition to these, you can also see some scattered, tiny particles rushing toward the material world, but being blocked by an invisible barrier.

Is that the World Ring?
Amid the turmoil, there seemed to be another force hindering them, which was likely also the power from above.

It's no wonder that the higher-ups rarely show themselves and don't have time to say much to them.

They had so much to do; they needed to disrupt the connection between the two worlds and delay the arrival of that time almost every moment.

Given this situation, simply holding on is probably already quite an achievement.

Even with a great deal of power at the top, it is still weak in the face of the world's invasion, and the collision between the two is ultimately inevitable.

He sensed it for a while longer, and suddenly the surrounding field began to vibrate faintly. He knew he was about to lose his composure, so he withdrew from this state.

Feeling exhausted, he released the Lesser Realm of True Wonders, entered it, sat down on the reclining stone, lit the incense burner, and began to recover.

Not long after, a splash was heard, and the carp in the pond leaped out of the water again.

He opened his eyes, now fully recovered. He couldn't help but ponder. Putting aside the strange phenomena caused by the intersection of the two worlds, the attention from numerous higher powers suggested that something was indeed attracting both sides.

What exactly are they paying attention to?
Every time he left that side, he would feel a sense of urgency from the alienated organization. There must be something useful in there. Could it be the same thing?

This must be clarified. The cultivation of one's appearance lies in self-examination. If there is enough time, as long as he cultivates slowly, he will likely understand it before long. But what is lacking now is time. And there is a big difference between knowing something earlier and knowing it later. At least knowing it earlier will give him more time to prepare.

With that thought in mind, he made a decision: next time he could try to overlap the second one and then see.

Previously, in order to train himself, he tried his best not to overlap, but when the time came, he wouldn't leave it unused.

However, before that, he still needs to find a way to collect more immortal seeds.

He immediately returned to the world through the rift and then sent an application to the advisory group requesting a lower-quality immortal seed. He also sent a letter to the Pure Faction.

As for asking other fighters to collect information on the other side, although he could do so with his advisor's authority, he felt it was inappropriate at this moment.

Almost all manpower is now devoted to the defense of the World Ring. Everyone is under great pressure, and the fighters are seizing every opportunity to improve themselves. Every minute is precious.

Digging for immortal seeds is both energy-consuming and time-consuming. The whole process is a pure investment with no returns. Even if some resources can be obtained as compensation, the overall result is still a loss due to the urgency of time. Therefore, he decisively abandoned the idea.

It is possible to exchange and acquire these assets with countries and major companies around the world in the name of the nation.

The internationally accepted name for "Immortal Seed" is "Flash Domain".

This item has always been a valuable commodity used by medium-sized countries to exchange for resources and technology. However, only high-quality Flash Domains are valued by large companies and countries; low-quality ones are usually just byproducts obtained when mining high-quality Flash Domains.

It's not that they're completely useless, but they're generally not valued by major countries and large companies, and usually have to be absorbed by themselves.

Based on his understanding, there aren't many fighters worldwide who can directly utilize Immortal Seeds. Most use the "Immortal Abode" generated from the Immortal Seed, rather than going to the trouble of tracing its source. Currently, the biggest application of low-quality Flash Domains is in conjunction with experiments involving active consciousness entities, and not all countries possess this technology. Therefore, he estimates that a considerable amount must have been stockpiled worldwide.

He could then make acquisitions in the name of the state, and it wouldn't be too difficult for him to do these things as an advisor.

So he contacted the government again and asked them to submit acquisition requests to various countries and major companies.

The government took his commission very seriously, and within just half a day, it sent the acquisition request to the embassies of various countries via telegram.

Many countries hesitated upon receiving the news. For a long time, low-level flash domains had been practically useless. They couldn't help but wonder if the Great Shun had developed new technology and discovered more uses for them. If so, they couldn't hand it over so cheaply.

Countries and companies with good relations and cooperative relationships with Da Shun responded more positively, with Huan Suo Island being the fastest to respond.

Since the Great Alliance era, similar items have been stockpiled on the island. Although many valuable items were divided up by various countries after the collapse of the Great Alliance, they still have quite a few low-quality Flash Domains.

After confirming with Chen Chuan that this was his personal need, they immediately expressed their willingness to give him all of their inventory.

However, this item is something that only a Throne Fighter can access and move, so they stated that they could not send it to them voluntarily.

Upon learning of this, Chen Chuan immediately sent Ming Chengzi to make the trip.

Meanwhile, the "pure" faction in the country responded immediately.

They couldn't provide the Immortal Abode or high-quality Immortal Seeds, but they did have some low-quality ones, some of which were even sent by the upper echelons of the sect. The upper echelons of the sect indicated that they could give him everything they currently had in the sect.

While he was making these arrangements, Han Yang finally responded, saying that he could fulfill his previous promise and conduct technical tracing of the three-eyed corpse he mentioned.

After Chen Chuan provided the information, Han Yang said that there was no technical problem, but it might take one to two months to clearly reproduce the result.

Chen Chuan had already obtained some evidence through the ceremony, but more complete and convincing evidence would be even better.

Upon hearing the timing, one immediately knew that Han Yang's availability this time was likely planned by the conservatives.

Even if we start tracing the source now, by the time we get the results, a major upheaval is likely to occur, and in the end, it will probably all come to nothing.

However, he has already made up his mind to do this, so it doesn't matter what arrangements they make.

He immediately told Han Yang that he would send the things over shortly.

Shortly after the call ended, another communication came in, and it was an encrypted one.

He glanced at it and saw it was Fan Zhentong, so he tapped it and sent a wisp of his spirit into that channel.

"Consultant Fan?"

Fan Zhentong responded from the other end: "Advisor Chen, I saw that you were collecting Flash Domain. The Ministry of Defense has some. If you need them, I will send them to you later."

Chen Chuan did not refuse and said, "Okay, thank you then."

Fan Zhentong then asked, "Advisor Chen, are you preparing to take action?"

Chen Chuan replied, "It's not the right time yet."

Fan Zhentong said, "Just let me know when you're about to take action. I need to keep an eye on the people below and also coordinate with you."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly; even if Fan Zhentong hadn't reminded him, he would have said so beforehand.

After all, each advisor is involved with a huge interest group and power group. If not handled properly, it could cause national turmoil. Other advisors would be needed to help stabilize the situation. In some ways, this is actually more difficult than killing these people.

Fan Zhentong said, "There's one more thing I need to remind you of, Consultant Chen."

Chen Chuan said, "Please speak."

Fan Zhentong said in a deep voice, "The enemies you will face at that time may not be the ones you see."

Chen Chuan's thoughts raced for a moment, then he slowly nodded and said, "Advisor Fan, thank you for the reminder."
