Chapter 249: Chapter 251: Crossing Space

"Grandmaster, am I the only one going this time?"

Andre frowned. The Cosmic Sea World was a Level 5 World.

’The academy’s focus must be on the Cosmic Sea World. I can’t be the only one going.’

"For now, it’s just you. The situation over there is a bit dire!"

Seeing Andre bring it up, Red-haired Klein immediately said.

"The situation over there is a bit dire?"

Andre was puzzled. ’How could the situation have gotten so bad so quickly?’

Red-haired Klein had told him before that the Cosmic Sea World was currently in a stable period.

’How did things suddenly take a turn for the worse?’

"A suspected Child of the World has appeared there. In just three short years, this person went from a Wizard Apprentice to a Level 2 Wizard, and there are signs they’re gathering what they need for another breakthrough."

Red-haired Klein sighed as he looked at Andre.

"That fast?" Andre was stunned for a moment.

Although he knew the appearance of a Child of the World in the Cosmic Sea World was almost inevitable, he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly.

Logically, the birth of a Child of the World usually takes fifty years.

The reason it took so long was that the world needed a suitable person to assume the position of Child of the World.

To become a candidate, one’s own various conditions had to first be up to par, and then one had to attract the attention of the World Will.

After reaching this stage, they weren’t yet a true Child of the World, but a prospective one.

To become the Child of the World, these prospects would have to fight each other to the death. Only the last one standing would be the Child of the World in the truest sense.

And now, the first Child of the World had already emerged.

This made Andre a little doubtful. ’Isn’t the Cosmic Sea World’s World Will recovering a bit too fast?’

Although the Cosmic Sea World was a Level 5 World, it had exhausted all of its internally accumulated Power due to its recent promotion.

Right now, the Cosmic Sea World should be in a recovery period.

For a world in recovery like the Cosmic Sea World to suddenly birth a Child of the World, there were only two possibilities. One was that the Cosmic Sea World was on the brink of destruction. The other was that it was facing an extremely grave threat.

And Andre was more inclined to believe the Cosmic Sea World was under threat.

Because the Wizard Civilization was in the process of invading the Cosmic Sea World.

But even so, this speed was among the fastest in the history of the academy’s expeditions.

The other fast cases were either a Magical Beast on the verge of death that was given a boost by the World Will to rapidly recover...

...or some youth whose body was seized by a remnant Soul, allowing it to quickly regain its former Power by fusing Souls.

’So, how did this Child of the World grow so powerful?’

Andre suddenly grew curious about this.

"Prepare to depart in three hours."

Red-haired Klein said, looking at Andre.

Andre nodded and said no more, instead beginning his preparations.

First, he had to go to the War Mother Ship to exchange for some things he needed, like Elemental Crystals.

His supply of Elemental Crystals had been greatly depleted after reforging the Chaos Wheel.

So, he needed to replenish some.

’Also, I need to exchange for some intelligence-enhancing Magic Plants.’

’Magic Plants that can enhance intelligence are consumed very quickly and are extremely expensive.’

If it weren’t for the expedition, he wouldn’t even be able to exchange for these Magic Plants from the academy.

Soon, Andre had spent 70,000 of his 100,000 Contribution Points.

In exchange, he received 10 Elemental Crystals and six intelligence-enhancing Magic Plants.

After all this was done, Andre returned to the Morning Sky to wait.

Three hours could feel fast or slow.

While Andre was waiting, Red-haired Klein waved his hand.

The War Mother Ship immediately opened its deck, pulling the Morning Sky in.

Next, the Morning Sky was moved to a wartime launch platform. Then, a powerful sense of propulsion surged from the ship.

Soon, the Morning Sky passed through the world barrier and entered the Star Realm.

’I can’t believe it. I was just thrown out of this world by the War Mother Ship.’

Andre had Wei Xing turn the ship around and sighed as he looked at the world before him.

The reason the Morning Sky was "thrown" out by the War Mother Ship was as an Energy-saving measure.

Previously, Andre had arrived in this world via Space Travel.

Now, to leave, Andre would also need to use Space Travel to exit this world.

But with the War Mother Ship’s launch, the Energy required for this instance of Space Travel would be saved.

Once outside, Andre could use Space Travel immediately instead of waiting for his ship’s Energy to recover.

’Leaving this world so suddenly... I’m actually a bit reluctant to go!’

Andre sighed as he looked at the world before him, then had Wei Xing turn the ship around.

After turning around, the pitch-black Star Realm appeared before Andre.

’Black is the true color of the Star Realm.’

After a sigh of emotion, Andre had Wei Xing begin the jump to the preset coordinates.

Wei Xing nodded and immediately began preparing to engage the Space Travel drive.

Soon, a change began to occur at the front of the ship. A massive spike appeared before the hull, and with a shudder, it tore space open.

A spatial channel was created just like that.

The Morning Sky then dove in. In what seemed like an instant, it emerged from the spatial rift.

"Wei Xing, determine the jump distance."

Andre sighed as he looked at the unchanging Star Realm before him.

He wanted to know just how vast the distance was, considering it would still take two years to reach his destination even using Space Travel.

Wei Xing nodded and then gave Andre the answer.

"This jump covered an estimated distance of one ’Wei’."

"One Wei!" Andre couldn’t help but click his tongue at the number.

"Wei" was a unit of distance unique to the Wizard Civilization.

One Wei was equivalent to the size of a Level 3 World.

And the Sky-Splitting Blade took 15 days to recharge.

Two years meant 48 jumps, crossing a distance equivalent to 48 Level 3 Worlds to reach the Cosmic Sea World. The journey was clearly a long one.

Andre couldn’t help but shake his head. He then had Wei Xing activate the Magic Energy Furnace and raise its output to maximum to absorb Power from the Star Realm as quickly as possible and convert it into Energy for the Morning Sky.

Wei Xing nodded and proceeded to follow Andre’s instructions.

Soon, Wei Xing had raised the Magic Energy Furnace’s output to its maximum.

On the Central Control Room’s screen, the static Energy reserves began to climb.
