The moon hung high in the night sky.

In twos and threes, students strolled around after dinner. There were also couples flirting with each other, giving rise to a free and leisurely atmosphere.

Zhou Jing was not in the mood to blend in. He rushed back to the dormitory and closed the door. He could not wait to open the astral interface again, his eyes filled with excitement.

It had been more than half a year since his connection with the Mutant World had been cut off. He had been waiting anxiously since then.

Now that he was finally connected to a new Astral Realm, he could travel once again.

“The exploration bureau has determined that the astral confluence period is still in a month and a half, but my interface has entered the confluence period in advance. This proves that the gravitational threshold needed to activate astral travel is better than the main world’s travel device. I can activate the travel earlier than the explorers, and I won’t be disturbed for a while…”

Zhou Jing was overjoyed. Although he had long guessed this, he was still happy to see his hypothesis come true.

Although the criteria of an Explorer was to interfere with the development of a civilization in a plane, it was something that was envisioned as a perfect scenario.

Based on what he had seen in the Mutant World, Zhou Jing did not have high hopes for the Explorer’s implementation of this principle.

As long as an Explorer entered the plane, he would have to be more cautious in their own actions. The psychological feelings would be completely different. As for him, because he would always be able to travel in advance, he could clearly have a period of stable activity to adapt. No matter what he did, he would be able to take the initiative.

Of course, he had already decided to join the Exploration Bureau in the future, and explorers were not considered enemies… It was just that he had to cause trouble when he traveled the world as an Astral Apostle in order to “complete his life objective”. It was hard to guarantee that there would not be a conflict.

“But it’s too early to think about this. Let’s talk about it when it really happens.”

Zhou Jing sat cross-legged on the bed as he pondered.

This time, it was not like the first time he traveled, completely clueless about the Astral Realm he was about to enter.

He had long obtained the basic information from Shen Xinqin’s Explorer course.

The Exploration Bureau had named this plane “Plane D19”. The name of this format was a temporary code name, which meant that the main world had yet to determine an official name for this plane.

Since it had a specific code name, it usually meant that the civilization of this plane had many similarities with other planes. The main world had yet to discover the iconic characteristics of this plane’s civilization, and this plane was considered a “low-value plane” by the main world.

For example, in the “Mutant Beast Civilization Plane”, no matter how the regime evolved, mutant beasts were the greatest characteristic. The technology tree of the civilization was already related to mutant beasts, so the Exploration Bureau named it that way.

However, Plane D19 did not have such a characteristic.

This was an ancient world, only at the stage of a mature agricultural civilization. Its political form was mainly that of a feudal dynasty, and there were many national regimes. Although the degree of civilization was higher than that of the mutant beast civilization, it was not extraordinary.

There was more than one plane in such a situation. Even if the names of countries, regimes, and cultures were different, as history changed, regimes would change and not be suitable for naming. Therefore, they would usually be called by code names until their characteristics were discovered.

It was the same for most planes. It was normal for them to only have an official name after many intersections and explorations by the main world.

It was worth mentioning that many countries and civilizations in many planes had similar cultural forms. This had always been one of the main projects of the Exploration Bureau. They believed that there was some unknown factor that caused different planes to have similar cultural forms.

Therefore, the Exploration Bureau constructed a “Plane Culture Lineage”. Using the historical and cultural forms of the countries in the main world as coordinates, they located the similar cultural forms of the countries in the various planes… For example, there was the Aurora and Chinese cultures that existed within the Scarlet Nation.

As for the mainstream countries of Plane D19, according to the Plane Cultural Lineage, they were close to the cultural form of the Scarlet Nation.

According to the information, the main world had only crossed paths with Plane D19 once, but no supernatural powers had been discovered. Only some mortal martial arts were circulated in the military and occasionally appeared among the people.

Ordinary people would only be able to strengthen their bodies and be agile if they practiced it. However, there were signs that it was “suspected to be the seed of martial arts”. It was not considered extraordinary and could not even be considered a “Low Martial Dimension” in the main world’s evaluation.

… However, this was all the information from the last time they intersected.

Now that the main world and Plane D19 were intersecting for the second time, time had passed and the situation had changed. No one knew how much time had passed, and no one knew what would happen. This was the information that the explorers needed to gather.

“Even if times change and the regime changes, the geography and history of this world will not change easily. This is my intelligence advantage.”

Zhou Jing was satisfied. This was the benefit of the Explorer’s course. Although it was only a lecture, it gave him a sufficient understanding of the new astral world he was about to enter.

According to past intelligence, the supernatural powers of the new Astral Realm were not obvious. Towards this, Zhou Jing was not too surprised. After all, there were too many planes that could converge with the main world, and not every world had supernatural beings.

Although he might not be able to obtain a new supernatural system from the new Astral Realm this time, but as long as he could release an Astral Apostle, he would be able to activate the Accelerated Learning ability and use it to cultivate the martial arts path he had obtained from the main world.

As long as there was this effect, it would not be a loss. This was Zhou Jing’s main need at the moment.

Moreover, Plane D19 had evolved for many years, so it was not impossible for a supernatural system to be born. He would find out when the time came.
