Chapter 454 Shuttling, the Nation of the God of the Ocean

“There’s still half an hour left before we cross the obstacle avoidance component, Su Mo, should we do some preparations?”

Su Mo was writing and sketching in the pilot’s seat. When called upon, he was intrigued and lifted his head. “For example?”

“For example, let’s not focus on writing the will first. After all, even after we die, the will won’t casually float back to the wasteland. We can try using psychic energy water to make some new particles and see if it can make changes to the barrier of the Gods. Perhaps we can prepare weapons too just in case there’s a single chance of winning battles. We can even…”

“Uh, sure if you think that it’s necessary!”

It was an hour before they were going to shuttle through the barrier.

Besides Su Deben, the curiosity of the researchers got the better of them in the end.

During this final period, Su Mo spared some time to get to know these researchers again. He started with the biologist, Zhuo Junfan.

At this final juncture, the others also tactfully gave up their seats for Lu Kuan.

Among the crowd, he had done the most research on aerospace-it was not an exaggeration to say that he managed to research 11% of aerospace in the Interstellar Age.

Needless to say, Lu Kuan was unwilling to admit defeat just like that!

“Sit back and relax. If you have the time to worry, why don’t you step aside and look up into the sky with its limitless ceiling? You never know when you’ll get the chance again!”

At this very moment, the psychic energy shuttle rocket had reached a terrifying altitude of 240000km!

The distance from the earth to the moon was only 360000km. As of now, the rocket had already flown through more than half of the distance to the moon. They could see clouds surrounding the rocket, along with the view of the sun that had yet to set.

As if there were some slow buffs getting stacked on the rocket, there were no problems in the rocket’s self-test, nor was there any speed reduction.

Although the distance kept increasing, the surrounding scenery remained the same like evergreens. Oreo had been curiously leaning in to stare out the front of the window because of this.

For someone who observed this view twice, it took Lu Kuan a single look to evoke his innermost fear once more.

He stood there, struck silly in his reverie. A silly-looking robot and a large dog with black and white patches on her fur, blended in with the exterior and the sci-fi-esque interior. Su Mo raised his head and took a glance; he could not help but smile at the sight of this scene. In the tranquil sky, this smile of his was extremely obvious.

It was not until the last ten minutes that Su Mo put down the pen and paper that he had been using to plan things out. Then, he stood up and walked toward the window.

When he got here, the surrounding scenery finally changed a little.

Even while making judgments of his surroundings with the naked eye, Su Mo could still see the border a little.

As if the entire wasteland was put into a glass box, the highest the clouds on the edge could go was to the upper layer, and then be suppressed at the border. At long last, they could finally see the ten New Worlds that were previously seen in the Mountain and Sea painting scroll card.

“Those were once precious lands of this once prosperous and glorious world. Unfortunately, after the war, it had turned into a wasteland that no living creature could enter.

“Now that place is the epitome of Doomsday!

“Terrible radiation, collapsed land, thick electron clouds, and horrific disasters of an eruption frequency of 3rm, no creature would be able to survive there for more than seven days!

“Even if we were to enter wearing protective suits, it will still bring irreversible damage to the body!”

It was akin to the radiation zone in 7 Days to Die. Lu Kuan noticed the curiosity in Su Mo and stood up as he explained everything softly. “Oh? Radiation? Has a nuclear bomb blown up there before?”

Lu Kuan shook his head. “Yes, there were once more than twenty extremely advanced earth civilizations who formed an alliance. Then, they launched a large equivalent of nuclear bombs at that time, baptizing the wasteland. If this piece of land under our feet were not their launching site, I’m afraid that this place would’ve been severely affected too.

“After this, people who came here later, aren’t allowed to carry weapons here. In fact, you won’t be able to sense the shuttling before arriving here.

“It’s a pity! These places used to have fertile land and hundreds upon hundreds of unimaginable wonders. No one expected it to be all destroyed in a day, especially this place. Even after three to five hundred years, it will still be hard for living creatures to survive on this forbidden land.”

Through the high altitude, they could now see the clear border of the wasteland below.

It was as though they were looking at Earth while standing in outer space.

A long gray line twisted and turned as it wrapped itself around the bright area.

Compared to the larger gray region, this bit of brightness was incomparably obtrusive, giving it an unrealistic look.

“Look, that’s the barrier we’re shuttling through!”

With only five minutes left, Lu Kuan spoke up again.

As they were much closer this time, it was easier to observe the barrier of the Gods.

Just like the “protective film” that people used to wrap boxes with, this barrier was hanging upright in the air with an indescribable sense of incongruity. “This is very different from the Southern Heavenly Gates in Huaxia mythology. It looks like a fake one.”

After making the joke, Su Mo stretched his limbs and stood up straight.

He had successfully switched back to his current form, no longer remaining in “Yang Jian” mode.

Due to the addition of Oracle of the God of the Ocean’s identity, Su Mo intended to do a test when they first went on the obstacle avoidance component.

‘If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, then so be it!’

Since he had the psychic energy shuttle rocket’s detailed characteristics, there was not a trace of fear in him when it came to facing the obstacle avoidance component. “It’s three minutes now, shall we start with the preparations?”

Su Mo sat down slowly. “Sure! I may have some work to do outside the cabin once we have successfully shuttled. When the time comes, this place will be in your hands!”

Lu Kuan turned around and stared straight at him. “Su Mo, I kind of regret not writing that will!”

“Haha, it’s not too late to make one now!”

“It’s too late, I’m already wondering what kind of world lies behind that barrier!”

Lu Kuan cracked a smile as he turned his head back and began to concentrate on controlling the devices in front of him.

Right before they shuttled, under the pressure of life or death, he miraculously let go of his inner demons instead!

“Fine, just you wait and see!” Su Mo was not distracted-he placed his hand on the rudder and concentrated on the possibility of any unexpected situations that might arise.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Contrary to the peace and quiet below, after reaching this height, it seemed as though the wrath of the Gods had been aroused.

One after another, whirlwinds continuously slapped the surface of the psychic energy shuttle rocket, sending back thunderous roars.

Several bolts of lightning streaked across the sky too, striking the rocket directly and making crackling noises.

There was hail.

There was a rainstorm.

There were snowflakes.

All sorts of extreme weather evolved from each other here.

Due to such rapid change, what was clearly a minute felt like years to the human heart.

Fortunately, the materials of the psychic energy shuttle rocket’s outer shell were exceptionally powerful. Apart from a little noise, they did not detect even half of the feedback of the vibrations. This put Su Mo’s mind at ease.

“We’re two minutes away…”

It was no surprise that they managed to overcome the horrendous weather. After that, Lu Kuan shouted once again.

Meanwhile, the surrounding environment transformed simultaneously.

Almost all of the light here faded away except for the blue light emitted by the psychic energy shuttle rocket itself, while the membrane overhead had disappeared.

It looked as if the rocket had fallen into a pile of mud and lost all contact with the outside world.

However, after experiencing this twice and noticing that the dashboard was working as usual, Su Mo felt relieved enough to not take over the controls.

“One minute away…”

Right after Lu Kuan spoke, the darkness disappeared and a familiar scenery reappeared.

This time, however, what appeared next to them was…

A starry sky!

“Choose one! Take your pick among these stars. We don’t care anymore; we’ll just collide with it!

“We’ve collided with these two before and we needed divinity for both. We have yet to try any of the others, so you decide!” said Lu Kuan quickly.

In the starry sky, countless gargantuan planets the size of stars were floating in it, each emitting a different glow.

Lu Kuan skillfully pointed to one of the planets emitting an earthy brown glow, as well as a planet with blazing flames.

Shifting his gaze toward the direction pointed out by Lu Kuan’s finger, Su Mo also saw what the rest of the planets looked like.

At the moment, not many spheres were floating around here.

At first glance, it seemed like there were less than a hundred planets. They could count with their fingers on two hands the planets that were emitting a strong glow—there was a total of ten.

In descending order of their brightness, the rest of the planets were divided into different tiers.

The two planets that Lu Kuan had collided with before were the faintest of them all.

“Hold on, wait for my instructions!”

Hinting at Lu Kuan to not disturb him, Su Mo began the instructions once again according to the strange breathing method previously taught by the Fertile Soil Era God of the Ocean.

In the levels of space that Lu Kuan could not see, rays of aqua blue light exploded directly from Su Mo’s body.

The rays of light then began to circle within the cabin!

The rays were very weak at first but after sensing the surrounding environment, they gradually grew brighter. Even without Su Mo’s initiative to take control, the rays of light began to form an arrow themselves and pointed toward the left.

Following the arrow, Su Mo gestured toward the direction the arrow was pointing at immediately. Without any hesitation, Lu Kuan also pulled on the operating shaft and changed the direction of the rocket.

Twenty seconds later, the arrow pointed in another direction again.

Lu Kuan also followed suit.

As of now, they had skipped over twenty planets with the faintest glow and reached the planets that were grouped into the second tier based on their brighter glow.

The planets were glowing with a brightness that was inferior to the ones ahead. However, the contrast was stark when compared to the planets at the back. It was a shame that the arrow still did not stop there!

The arrow continued to provide Lu Kuan guidance to move forward; Su Mo’s gaze was fixed on the arrow.

At this point, they had already skipped over most of the glowing planets in the second tier.

They had now arrived among the planets with first-tier brightness!

Immediately after leaving the front barrier, the arrow immediately adjusted itself slightly as soon as they passed through.

This meant that the final destination was not the ten big glowing planets ahead of them.

Little by little, the direction of the arrow became more and more precise.

Passing by all of the planets ahead, a star emitting aqua blue gas finally appeared right in front of the spacecraft. Coming here also meant that the true location of the God of the Ocean was inside!

“This?”

“Yup!”

“Alright, I’m charging in then!”

As soon as Lu Kuan thrust the shaft forward, the energy of the entire rocket began to jet violently, giving it a terrifying boost!

With this power, the planet that was still a little far away practically appeared in front of Su Mo’s eyes in an instant.

In the next second.

Boom!

The psychic energy shuttle rocket crashed right into the planet like a madman.

It felt like the rocket was caught in endless obstructions, or a sticky confection was stuck to the rocket.

Different from previous bursts, although the psychic energy shuttle rocket slowed down, it still did not suffer any damage. Lu Kuan immediately became excited.

Controlling the robot’s arm, he almost broke the acceleration lever to the maximum angle.

Su Mo, who had been maintaining the same breathing method while sitting next to Lu Kuan, adjusted his breathing rate to the fastest too.

Like a code, the blue light in the cabin pulsated more and more fiercely, eventually seeping out through the crevices to the outside of the rocket.

When the entire rocket was surrounded by a layer of glow, much like those planets, the obstructions that were exerted on the rocket from the external suddenly loosened.

Although the spheres still resisted the rocket somehow, they lost the biggest factor that prevented the rocket from advancing. This was especially so when the psychic energy shuttle rocket possessed such great power and the ability to shuttle!

Bang!

In the next second, it was as if a steel needle had punctured a balloon.

When the two people on the spacecraft reacted, a new world was already in sight!

At this moment, as the blue light on the spacecraft’s outer shell dimmed, a piece of new information appeared in Su Mo’s mind.

“This place is…”

“The Nation of… the God of the Ocean?”
