322: One day in heaven is one year on earth, everyone is an immortal

After listening to Su Qinglian's account, Yang Dian couldn't help but sigh that the Alien Planet was truly a meat grinder.

The overall mortality rate had already exceeded 35%.

Among them, Little Japan contributed immensely, with a mortality rate exceeding 80%, and they were still continuously sending more personnel.

He felt as if they had fallen into an A-share trap.

Only by continuously adding and closing positions could they reduce the loss rate.

Ultimately, they were caught in a vicious cycle.

However, despite the terrifying mortality rate of the Alien Planet, it was enticing due to the occasional appearance of heaven and earth treasures, rare treasures, Spirit Medicine, Spirit Plants, and Spirit Fruits, as well as the influence of popular Alien Planet exploration streamers.

Countless people still believed they would be the next lucky one, rushing into the Alien Planet one after another.

Some for fame, some for profit, and some to challenge their limits and continuously improve their strength entered the Alien Planet.

Amidst his thoughts, Yang Dian suddenly had an idea:

"Can we artificially intervene in the dimensional folding erosion phenomenon?"

Su Qinglian was stunned:

"What do you mean?"

Yang Dian sat up and pointed to himself:

"If nothing goes wrong, I can single-handedly destroy that World Tree, and all the natural life forms nurtured by the World Tree."

"So, can we have Earth initiate dimensional erosion against the Lingwen Clan Alien Planet? Once the dimensional erosion starts, I'll go directly and destroy the Alien Planet's star core, completely transforming the Alien Planet into our Blessed Land."

Su Qinglian was dumbfounded:

"That's possible?"

Yang Dian raised an eyebrow:

"Why not?"

"As long as the Space Research Institute can handle the task of targeted dimensional erosion, I can handle the task of destroying the star core."

Su Qinglian immediately sent Yang Dian's idea to the Space Research Institute.

Two minutes later, the Space Research Institute provided feedback.

"[It can be attempted, but some minor details need to be discussed.]"

"The Institute says it can be attempted."

"However, there are still some minor details to discuss."

"For example, whether Cosmic Creatures will interfere with us when we are dimensionally invading the Alien Planet."

"Also, whether we can first punch the Alien Planet's star core before attempting targeted dimensional erosion, to ensure the Alien Planet truly has no resistance."

Yang Dian stood up, stretched, and approved of the idea proposed by the researchers:

"In a couple of days, I'll go test how deep the waters of the Universe lifeforms are."

"If the Universe lifeforms aren't too strong, then I'll figure out a way to punch the Alien Planet's star core."

"But for now, I need to go home and rest for a couple of days."

With that, he lightly jumped.

Then landed back in place.

"Uh? The recall effect is gone?"

Su Qinglian took out a flying skateboard and placed it under her feet:

"It disappeared after the dimensional folding erosion phenomenon ended."

Yang Dian realized:

"No wonder everyone coming down was wearing mechs."

After flying with Su Qinglian for a while, once they were high enough off the ground, he asked with some surprise:

"Why does it feel like the dimensional folding area has expanded again?"

Su Qinglian's face immediately showed a complex expression:

"It's not a feeling; it really has expanded."

"After our joint measurements, the Wuhou Grotto-heaven is spherical overall, with no deep chasms or trenches extending into the Earth's core found yet, and its surface area has reached 570 million square kilometers."

"It is the entire Lizardmen Alien Planet."

Yang Dian's mouth dropped open.

"Ah?"

"We swallowed the entire Alien Planet?"

Su Qinglian looked at the silver star core fragment Yang Dian carried behind him:

"You only shattered a piece of the star core back then, and it expanded the dimensional folding erosion area by more than 50 times."

"Now that the entire star core has been destroyed, isn't it perfectly normal for the entire Alien Planet to be swallowed by us?"

Yang Dian snapped his fingers:

"You're right."

With that, he looked at the South Heaven Gate, which was close at hand, and said:

"I didn't feel much on the ground."

"But approaching the South Heaven Gate, why do I feel like there's spatial power everywhere around it?"

"You'll know once we go out," Su Qinglian said, then led Yang Dian through the South Heaven Gate.

As soon as they passed through the South Heaven Gate, Yang Dian felt his body subtly sink.

Earth's gravity had increased slightly compared to before he entered the Alien Planet.

"Is Earth getting fatter again? Why has the gravity increased so noticeably?"

Su Qinglian pointed towards the South Heaven Gate.

Yang Dian turned his head.

Then he saw silver threads crisscrossing beneath the South Heaven Gate archway, firmly sealing a cerulean planet about a meter in diameter.

Su Qinglian walked under the archway, circled the sphere twice, then said:

"The gatehouse beneath the South Heaven Gate is the dimensional folding area. This planet is the original Lizardmen Alien Planet, now the Wuhou Grotto-heaven."

Saying this, Su Qinglian spread her thumbs and index fingers, pressing all four fingers onto the sphere, separating them to both sides, and pointing to the magnified ground area, she said:

"Tap the 'map' with your finger, and simultaneously think of the location your finger is pointing to, and the spatial power on the South Heaven Gate will directly project you to the corresponding area."

"If you don't want to be directly projected, you can also walk through the South Heaven Gate and fly down from the Alien Planet's sky."

"You perceive vast spatial power in the sky of the Wuhou Grotto-heaven, and you're right."

"Because the Wuhou Grotto-heaven is folded into a two-dimensional world by spatial power; it's right inside the gate."

As she spoke, she rotated the sphere again:

"Only when we enter it will it unfold from a two-dimensional world into a three-dimensional world."

"Oh, and this sphere we see is just a spatial projection of the Wuhou Grotto-heaven; no matter how we rotate it, it won't have any substantial impact on the Wuhou Grotto-heaven."

"Also, you can actually see the South Heaven Gate from anywhere in the Wuhou Grotto-heaven, and no matter which corner you take off from, the distance to the South Heaven Gate is exactly the same."

"This should also be the influence of spatial power."

After explaining the situation of the Wuhou Grotto-heaven, Su Qinglian patted the tall and magnificent South Heaven Gate:

"As for the increased gravity, that's also because of the Wuhou Grotto-heaven."

"Since the Wuhou Grotto-heaven was completely integrated into Earth's system, Earth's mass has been continuously increasing."

"As of now, although Earth's volume hasn't changed much, its mass has increased by 0.5 times compared to five months ago."

"It is expected that after another five months, the mass will double."

"The Astronomical Research Institute has calculated that at that time, Earth's orbital speed will remain largely unchanged, but its rotation period will lengthen."

"The day-night cycle will extend to 48 hours."

"That is, 24 hours of daylight, 24 hours of night, a total of 48 hours for one day and night."

"In addition, extreme weather will increase, and the risk of tidal disasters will rise."

"Geological activity, meaning the frequency of earthquakes, will intensify."

"The slowing of Earth's rotation will also weaken the geodynamo effect, reducing the strength of Earth's magnetic field and increasing the impact of cosmic rays on the surface."

"The atmosphere will become denser, enhancing the greenhouse effect..."

"In short, if Earth hadn't evolved and pulled Earth's life along with it, there might have been a mass extinction."

"Fortunately, as Earth evolved, humans, plants, animals, and even matter itself, all evolved along with it."

"Now, if you randomly take a person back to an Earth with its initial gravity, after a little training, they could easily break world records."

After explaining the reasons for Earth's increased gravity and its effects on the planet to Yang Dian, Su Qinglian rotated the sphere again:

"Finally, although Earth's day and night cycles have lengthened, for some reason, one day and night in the Wuhou Grotto-heaven is still 24 hours."

"That is, for every one day and night experienced on Earth, the Wuhou Grotto-heaven will experience two."

As she spoke, she chuckled again:

"According to the research institute's predictions, if our Earth can continuously devour other dimensional planets and integrate them into Earth's system, then Earth's mass will keep increasing."

"When Earth has devoured 364 other planets of the same mass as itself, Earth's mass will increase by 364 times while its volume remains unchanged."

"At that time, it will be tidally locked, rotating only once a year."

"Half a year of daylight, half a year of night."

"Compared to the Blessed Land, it really will be 'one day in heaven, one year on Earth'."

"If that day truly comes, then anyone from Earth, even a centenarian, would be like an immortal existence on other planets with normal gravity..."
