  “This is……”

  Ling Jiu and Bai Ya’s eyes widened as a massive cave appeared before them.

  But the cave was filled with various furnishings, including strange-looking beds, tables, chairs, and clothes made out of bizarre scales.

  Everything in it was completely different from the style back on Earth. This was obviously used by the humanoid creature named Mosal the Pioneer.

  In addition, what attracted the two the most was a ball with a diameter about 4 meters placed on the left side of the cave.

  It was made out a special alloy, with a round transparent glass in the middle, looking somewhat similar to the spherical spaceships Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz rode to Earth in the Dragon Ball anime.

  Ling Jiu walked to the front of the sphere and ignored the outer wall as he entered its interior.

  The interior layout was very simple, a panel with a simple keyboard, and a bow-shaped reclining chair. Aside from those, there was nothing left.

  “Is that really a spaceship?”

  Ling Jiu murmured for a moment before waving his hand and putting the sphere into his Dimensional Ring as he planned to let 9527 take a look at it later.

  “Ling Jiu, come here. What is this?” Bai Ya suddenly called for him.

  Ling Jiu turned his head and saw Bai Ya staring at something similar to an incubator. Through the transparent outer wall, they saw a fat and white, giant maggot lying quietly inside it.

  It was indeed similar to a white maggot dug out from the ground, but it was much larger and fatter at more than two meters long. Aside from that, there was nothing special about it.

  “What is this? Is it the child of that humanoid creature?”

  Ling Jiu was puzzled, and he used the Arcana Replication to sense the Arcana information of the big white maggot. The results that came out shocked him.

  Name: Grumble

  Race: Void Worm

  Arcana: Space Devourer (Awakened), Dimensional Barrier (Awakened), Wormhole Creation (Awakened)

  “Space Devourer?”

  “Dimensional Barrier?”

  “Wormhole Creation?”

  Ling Jiu was astonished. “There’s such a lifeform? Are you kidding me?”

  In Ling Jiu’s imagination, wormholes were ‘space tunnels’ that exist in the universe, or were naturally created from the universe’s evolution.

  They could also be creation from civilization like the Emessians who had created the peak of technology and had great expertise in the domain of space.

  Or, maybe, they were creation of a terrifying being who had cultivated to an extremely powerful level!

  But Ling Jiu could never have imagined that a seemingly ordinary-looking bug could create a wormhole, and that simply subverted what Ling Jiu had known.

  Of course, after Ling Jiu was shocked for a moment, what followed was excitement! This bug had the Arcana to create wormholes, and he could replicate it!

  Although he had mastered the Dimension Arcana, he could only at most create tiny space tunnels.

  To create wormholes between planets and galaxies was simply just a pipedream.

  He might be able to pull that off in the future, but for now, it was nothing but a dream.

  So, if he replicated the ability to create wormholes……

  The picture was so beautiful that Ling Jiu dared not imagine it!

  “Let’s take it with us!”

  Ling Jiu waved his hand and put the incubator containing the giant void worm into his ring, and he planned to look for 9527 to study it later.

  Finally, Ling Jiu could not help but to look at a large rock of glass that stood at the innermost part of the cave.

  Let’s call it a glass for now.

  Because it really did look like a layer of glass.

  It was transparent as it hung silently in the innermost part of the cave, and on the opposite side of the glass was a world full of water.

  It had separated the water world from this cave, dividing them into the world on this side, and the world on the otherside.

  From where Ling Jiu was standing, it looked like a fish tank, or an aquarium where he could enjoy view of water, fishes, dolphins, mermaids through the thick glass wall……

  In all, this was a very amazing layer of glass!

  Ling Jiu stretched his hand out and carefully touched the layer of glass. And the result was…… the glass actually rippled before his hand passed through, just like how he walked through the mountain wall earlier.

  “This is also a…… barrier?”

  \r \r \r

  Ling Jiu looked at Bai Ya, as the both of them had an incredulous expression on their faces.

  After that, Ling Jiu pulled his hand back and found that his hand was wet.

  “What’s beyond the barrier…… is actually water?”

  Bai Ya also stretched her hand in, and carefully perceived for a moment before saying slowly. “The water temperature is not low, but the water pressure should be very scary.”

  Bai Ya took out a device from her Dimensional Pocket to detect pressure and put it into the world opposite the ‘glass’, and soon, the results came back.

  But it left Bai Ya speechless.

  “What’s wrong?”

  Ling Jiu asked.

  “The water on the opposite side…… it’s very deep!”

  Bai Ya took a deep breath. “If the water pressure sensor is not wrong, then the water on the other side is almost 100 kilometers deep!”

  “100……100 kilometers?”

  Ling Jiu shuddered. “You gotta be kidding? How is there a water so deep?”

  It was not that Ling Jiu was kicking up a fuss, but the water level was really just too deep.

  The average ocean depth was about 3,795 meters, and the deepest Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean was 11,034 meters deep.

  ,795m = 3.795 km.

  11034m = 11.034 km.

  3 kilometers!

  11 kilometers!

  100 kilometers!

  There was no comparison at all!

  “I don’t know!”

  Bai Ya shook her head slightly “But the water pressure sensor will not lie.”

  Ling Jiu could not help but to gasp. “That is to say, the world beyond this barrier is an aquatic world that has a hundred kilometer deep ocean?”

  “It’s very possible.”

  Bai Ya’s voice was calm.

  “If that’s the case, it’ll be very incredible.”

  Ling Jiu’s shock was even more amplified, and could only say something after a long while. “Bai Ya, we may have very well run into a massive discovery!”

  “If what’s opposite this glass is a planet, that means this planet has a ocean that is at least 100 kilometers deep!”

  Bai Ya gasped. “I cannot imagine at all what sort of world that planet would be!”

  “How about…… we go and have a look?”

  Ling Jiu licked his lips.

  “That’s…… a bad idea, no?”

  Bai Ya was a little hesitant. “We know nothing of the world on the opposite side. If there is some incomparably scary monsters there, won’t barging in like this means our death? Also, the ocean there is vast, if we get lost……”

  The unknown was always scary!

  Especially when the opposite side was an incredibly deep ocean world!

  “There’s no worry about getting lost. I’ve left a Dimensional Marker here, as long as we do not stray too far away, I can sense it.”

  Ling Jiu laughed. “The only fear is there are lifeforms stronger than level 10, and that will be an headache.”

  “Let’s leave.”

  Bai Ya shook her head. “Let’s report everything here back to the camp and leave the exploration to them. Better not risk ourselves.”

  “There’s no need to rush to report it first!”

  Ling Jiu smiled. “At least until I’ve explored the place!”

  “Are you really going in?”

  Bai Ya raised her eyebrows as she quietly bit her lips for a while before lowering her head to say. “There may be danger in it, I-I-I don’t want you to go in!”

  “You’re worried about me?”

  Ling Jiu smiled and looked at Bai Ya.

  “W-W-Who is worried about you!”

  Bai Ya was blushing up to her ears. “Don’t think too much! I was just…… was just……”

  “Don’t need to explain, I understand!”

  Ling Jiu sniggered as he suddenly stretched his arms out to carry Bai Ya before jumping headlong into the ‘glass’.

  “AH—!!”

  Bai Ya screamed and then went into the ocean world on the opposite side with Ling Jiu.

  *BAAAMMM!!*

  A terrifying pressure squeezed his body and thankfully Ling Jiu reacted in a timely manner as he formed a dimensional barrier using his Dimension Arcana, isolating them from the frenzied pressure of the sea water and protecting the two.

  “Ling Jiu, what are you doing?”

  Bai Ya glared at Ling Jiu.

  “Heh!”

  Ling Jiu smirked. “You actually wanted to explore this world, right?”

  “I……”

  Bai Ya took a deep breath in. Everyone had a thirst for knowledge, and she was certainly no exception, not to mention there was a 100 kilometer deep ocean world.

  She of course wanted to explore it.

  “If you want to, then come with me!”

  Ling Jiu smiled and then turned around. As this was the deep sea, everything was dark, a complete world in darkness.

  There was no sky above.

  No land beneath.

  No sunlight.

  No references.

  Nor could he see his own five fingers.

  The most outrageous thing was:

  The planet’s gravity seemed to be very miniscule, and the buoyancy of the sea water had completely offset it,. Therefore, any ordinary person coming here would definitely get lost!

  Should he swim upwards or downwards?

  It was not an exaggeration to say that this was like outer space with no concept of top, bottom, front or back. Anyone in this spot would certainly get lost.

  But this did not faze Ling Jiu, after carefully sensing the fluctuation of space, he took Bai Ya as they darted all the way to the ocean above.

  Ten minutes later, the two came to the surface of the ocean, and by normal logic, they should be able to see the sky once they were at the ocean’s surface.

  But this was……

  This was completely not the case at all!

  A hard layer of material appeared above his head, and Ling Jiu observed for a moment and instantly knew that it was ice. The surface of the ocean was covered with a thick layer of ice.

  What does this mean?

  “This means, that this planet is either very cold, or we are at one of the polar points of the planet.” Bai Ya said slowly.

  “Yeah, that.”

  Ling Jiu nodded and continued upwards. The Dimension Arcana was handy as he did not need to cut through the ice and simply just went through it.

  As they went all the way upwards, it took about ten minutes for them to successfully pierced through the ice layer, and came to the world above the ice.

  “The thickness of that ice is at least 20-30 kilometers!”

  Ling Jiu marveled at it before taking Bai Ya together with him onto the ice.

  As he looked over, the place was almost all covered in ice, and the surface was equally flat, like an completely endless ice field.

  But there were no snow on the ice, not a single drop of snow, but the surface of the ice field was covered in a thin layer of pale yellow material.

  Ling Jiu gave it a taste, and it was salty with a bit of bitterness, seemingly some sort of salt-like substance.

  At the same time, there were numerous cracks on the ice field. This was not surprising as any ice field would be covered in cracks.

  He then looked at the sky again.

  The sky was dark, just like the nights back on Earth on the fifteen to sixteenth day of the solar calendar, where the moon was full.

  “Ling Jiu, look over there!”

  Bai Ya suddenly exclaimed.

  Ling Jiu looked up and saw a huge ‘moon’ hanging across the skyline with dark alternating red, brown, white colours across it.

  The most eye-catching thing was that the giant moon had a bright red spot on its surface.

  “This is……”


  Chapter 202: Outer Space Hotpot, Graduating from Being Single

  Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

  When they saw the giant moon, both Ling Jiu and Bai Ya exclaimed.

  “This is…… Jupiter!”

  Of the eight planets of the solar system, the ones that one could recognize at a glance was first Earth and followed straight by Saturn and Jupiter.

  The characteristics of these three planets were just too obvious!

  “Since that is Jupiter, isn’t the planet we are standing on now Jupiter’s moon?”

  Bai Ya whispered. “With the hundred-kilometer-deep ocean, that is to say, this is Jupiter’s second moon, Europa?”

  “It’s very likely!”

  Ling Jiu nodded. “The scientists had speculated that the Ganymede is a satellite covered with thick ice, with a liquid ocean beneath the ice.”

  “Europa!”

  Bai Ya was shocked. “We’ve just went through a wormhole and a layer of glass and we went all the way from Mars to Europa? Unbelievable!”

  “It is indeed incredible!”

  Ling Jiu nodded, and then said. “Let’s look around?”

  “Yeah!”

  Bai Ya nodded vigorously.

  Ling Jiu held her petite hand as the two strolled on the surface of Europa.

  Above their heads was the colorful Jupiter, and beneath their feet was an endless ice plain. Looking up they could see the other moons of Jupiter, and the bright starry sky. The scene was indeed very romantic.

  After a long walk, both of them got a little hungry, and Ling Jiu suggested to eat hotpot here and Bai Ya agreed.

  With a wave of his hand, Ling Jiu formed a miniature dimension. The two entered the space, taking out pots, pans, ladles and dishes, and got busy.

  Before long, a seductive scent drifted in within the miniature dimension.

  At this moment, Bai Ya showed her playful side. She did not rush to eat, but instead took several photos with her mobile phone.

  Of Jupiter overhead.

  Of the dishes on the table.

  A vast, endless ice field.

  And the boiling soup.

  After taking the photos, only did she start eating contentedly.

  “Why don’t you take a photo of me?”

  Ling Jiu smiled and teased.

  “These are photos I’m posting to my Moments, why should I take a photo of you?”

  Bai Ya said with some snark.

  Ling Jiu frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy. “Aren’t we two a couple now?”

  “You’re saying?” Bai Ya snorted lightly.

  “So, what do I have to do to make it count?” Ling Jiu licked his lips.

  “No idea.” Bai Ya lowered her head.

  “Does this count?”

  Ling Jiu sniggered and suddenly pounced as he pulled Bai Ya into his arms and planted his lips onto hers……

  “AH—!!” ……

  It was better for him to act fast after meeting a good girl.

  Especially when the girl did not seem to dislike you, act as fast as you can, so the chances of you getting her would be very high!

  This was Ling Jiu’s experience in his previous life!

  Bai Ya was undoubtedly a good girl. Although she was proud and cold, it was just on the surface. Beneath that was a kind and gentle heart.

  When she did not approve of you, she would be cold and distant, but when you walked into her heart, she would be even more enthusiastic, loyal and courageous than any ordinary women.

  If you could find a girlfriend like that, congratulations, you had struck jackpot!

  Ling Jiu felt like he had struck gold. After finishing the hotpot, Bai Ya asked to take a close photo with him, and then sent it to her Moments.

  The content was like this:

  This iceberg had finally become an ice cream in your hands……

  Clearly, she had officially regarded Ling Jiu as her boyfriend.

  And she had made their relationship official.

  \r \r \r

  Look!

  She was such a woman, stubborn and inflexible, but when she made up her mind, she would become very courageous and decisive.

  With Bai Ya already doing that, how could Ling Jiu not follow up. He asked Bai Ya to send him the photo and uploaded it to his own Moments.

  The content was like this:

  This prepaid value did not disappoint me. All of the ladies lining behind can disperse now. /funny face/funny face/funny face

  “You talk like I came complementarily with the prepaid value.”

  Bai Ya pouted, clearly a little unhappy.

  “Hahaha!! Of course not!”

  Ling Jiu laughed out loud as he sat her on his lap and started nibbling at her again. ……

  In Mainland Australia.

  After a busy day, Yang Ling’er and Ai Yuhe returned to the airship to rest. The two simply had some jerky and then each took a bath and went to bed.

  As they were all girls, and close friends at that, both of them shared a bed. At this moment, Ai Yuhe was swiping through her Moments.

  As she swiped, Ai Yuhe suddenly froze, and then sighed faintly.

  “What’s wrong, Sister He?”

  Yang Ling’er asked in confusion.

  “Have a look yourself.”

  Ai Yuhe passed her phone over and as Yang Ling’er picked the phone up suspiciously, she saw Ling Jiu’s Moments:

  This prepaid value did not disappoint me. All of the ladies lining behind can disperse now. /funny face/funny face/funny face

  And following that were several photos.

  Yang Ling tapped open the photos and looked through all of them, not knowing what to say. It was indeed a happy thing that her brother was no longer single, but Sister He……”

  “That girl seems to be Bai Ya from Tianwei Preparatory Camp?” Ai Yuhe said softly.

  “Seems like it!”

  Yang Ling’er nodded. “We’ve met her on Pandora one. Funny, wasn’t she the proud and cold type? How did she get together with my brother?”

  “Your brother is outstanding. If he wanted to chase after a girl sincerely, who could resist him?” Ai Yuhe smiled bitterly. “However, they are a good match.”

  “.……”

  Yang Ling’er was silent. ……

  Tianwei Preparatory Camp.

  Wangwang was originally in a group with her sister Bai Ya. With Bai Ya’s help she ranked second in Tianwei’s standings.

  Unfortunately, with Bai Ya graduating into the Matriculation Camp, Wangwang had to fight alone now.

  Fortunately, she had obtained plenty of energy crystals on Pandora, and her strength had greatly increased. While she had slid down the rankings, the drop was not too much.

  That night, Wangwang was swiping through her Moments after taking her bath, and suddenly she shouted and leap three feet high.

  “Oh, come on!”

  “Big sis is no longer single?”

  “And her boyfriend is that scoundrel?”

  “You gotta be kidding me!”

  Wangwang’s beautiful eyes were full of incredulity and shock. She knew what kind of person her sister Bai Ya was, and was extremely distant towards men, and even to the ladies she was cold and frosty, leaving her with few friends.

  Only when she was with her, and their parents would she be slightly normal.

  This cold, lonesome, friendless, and non-smiling sister had once caused plenty of headache for their mother who was worried that she would be single for her entire life.

  Wangwang too was worried, but she never thought that her sister would no longer be single!

  And her boyfriend was Ling Jiu!

  And she had only went to the Matriculation Camp for less than a month!

  Wangwang felt that her worldview had just turned upside down.

  “Oh, come on!”

  “How long had Big Sis gone to the camp?”

  “Should be less than a month, right?”

  “And she’s now together with Ling Jiu?”

  “That’s a little too fast!”

  “No! I need to ask her clearly!”

  Wangwang pulled out Bai Ya’s phone number and prepared to give her a call, But before that, Wangwang suddenly remembered that Bai Ya was totally uncontactable since she was in the Matriculation Camp.

  “Sister, how can you be with this pervert?” ……

  Lantian Base City.

  Pangu Arcana Combine Appraisal Department.

  “F*ck me! Ol’ Ling is actually no longer single!”

  Li Kai looked at Ling Jiu’s Moments and was surprised. “But then again, this girl sure is beautiful. Ling Jiu sure got lucky!”

  “Strange! Where are they eating that hotpot?”

  “Why is there a Jupiter over their heads?” ……

  The two parties did not know that a mere post to their Moments had kicked up such a storm. After the two were done, they planned to leave.

  At this moment, the ice sheet under their feet shook violently as if an earthquake had just occurred. Just as Ling Jiu and Bai Ya were extremely shocked, a hole suddenly cracked open in the ice sheet under their feet and an ice pillar shot up from below.

  WOOSHH!!

  The water column was thousands of meters wide and splashed straight into the sky, forming an extraordinarily magnificent fountain before them.

  Immediately after, with Europa’s astonishingly low temperature, the waterspout quickly condensed into ice and turned into a frozen fountain.

  The sunlight then shone over, reflecting a dazzling light on the surface of the fountain, causing a rainbow to hang high in the sky. Beautiful.

  “What a magnificent view!”

  Bai Ya was enchanted by it.

  “Yeah, beautiful!”

  Ling Jiu too was amazed.

  *CRACK!!*

  Under the action of gravity, the frozen fountain fell from the sky, hitting the ice sheet and cracking apart with a bang.

  Some of the ice slag shot towards them, and Ling Jiu’s eyes widened. He used his Shinra Tensei, sending all of the ice slag and projectiles flying away.

  “Let’s go back!”

  “Yeah!”

  By the time the two returned to the planet, it was already half an hour later. After returning to the cave, Ling Jiu took all of the items inside and then left the planet and returned to Mars.

  “Bai Ya, wait for me here. I’ll head to the camp commandant’s office and report the discovery of Europa!”

  “Yes, go.”

  After returning to the Antarctic Ice City, Ling Jiu did not head straight to the camp commandant’s office, but instead quietly left the Antarctic and hurried towards Australia.

  He then came to Pandora.

  “9527, I want to know all of the information about this guy!”

  Ling Jiu first took out the humanoid creature named Pioneer Mosalz.

  “Hmmm?”

  9527 inspected Pioneer Mosalz, as a glimmer of doubt appeared in its eyes. It then sent him into the research chamber to study, and the results soon came out.

  “Ling Jiu, you have found quite the thing,” said 9527 meaningfully.

  “What do you mean?” Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows.

  “The thing I’m talking about is not Pioneer Mosalz, but the void worm in your hands!”

  9527 smiled and said. “You sure are lucky, to be able to encounter such a treasure!”

  “You’ve read this thing’s memories?”

  Ling Jiu said, “Quickly, tell me what is it all about?”

  “That Pioneer Mosalz person came from the Ainsworth Pioneer Family of the Ainsworth Pioneer Star.”

  9527 explained. “The level of this civilization is not that high, and not much better than Earth, but they are very good at making poisons and controlling beasts.”

  “The most powerful and fortunate thing of this race was they had enslaved a void worm. This is an incredible treasure!”

  “9527, what kind of lifeform does the void worm belong to?”

  Ling Jiu asked curiously. Although he knew about the void worm’s Arcana, but he had no other information about it.

  “I’ve told you about the Astral Behemoths before, right? And that the Astral Behemoth is the general term used for all lifeforms born in outer space, right?” 9527 asked.

  “Yes, sir!”

  “Like the Flame Astral Behemoth, the Void Worm is also an Astral Behemoth!”

  9527 said. “But unlike the Flame Astral Behemoths that were born to feed on the stars, the void worms live in the void and are born to feed on space!”

  “Feed on space?”

  Ling Jiu was shocked.

  “Yes, feed on space!”

  9527 nodded. “And precisely because of that, a tunnel will form everywhere the void worm passes through while eating.”

  “Just like how a rat digs a hole, but the passage left behind by the void worm is not just a mouse hole, but a wormhole!”

  “Wormhole?”
