381: Time and Space Orb, News from Another World

After observing Helena for a while, Yang Dian suddenly asked, “Did you see something?”

“There’s no need to hide it from you,” Helena replied honestly.

“The witches of the England Witch Association obtained a Spacetime Orb from a planetary remnant that fell from a dimensional rift, an orb that can transport one to another world.”

“After seeing that Spacetime Orb, I made deductions and got two results from it.”

Yang Dian raised an eyebrow. “One good, one bad?”

“Precisely,” Helena said, revealing her deductions.

“The good result is that the Spacetime Orb is indeed a ticket to another world, as recorded. After setting up the ritual, it can take people to another world to receive the gifts of a fallen civilization.”

“The price is to help them take revenge.”

“The bad result is that the Spacetime Orb is bait thrown by a powerful otherworld. Once used, we will be noticed by that otherworld, and then they will launch an invasion against us.”

“Earth will fall into war, or even be destroyed.”

Recalling Helena’s previous incorrect deduction, Yang Dian raised an eyebrow. “So your deduction is that the bad result will occur?”

“Or rather, any future you deduce or prophesy is a bad future?”

Helena nodded. “One must always prepare for the worst.”

“We can accept unexpected pleasant surprises, but we cannot endure any bad outcome.”

“So, whenever something related to me appears, I will predict them with the worst possible outcome.”

Helena’s thinking coincided with Yang Dian’s, or rather, with China’s thinking.

Never calculate for victory first, but for defeat.

This is the essence of survival, and also the policy China has always implemented.

Although the people in the Think Tank do not have precognitive talents, they have speculated on countless possibilities and formulated countless plans for them.

Therefore, whenever a mistake occurs, China always finds a way to fix it.

Helena, who shared this mindset, was very much to Yang Dian’s liking.

“The Spacetime Orb is still too dangerous.”

“To prevent those witches from opening an interdimensional passage and letting the otherworld perceive Earth’s existence, we must quickly seal the Spacetime Orb.”

“So where are those witches?”

“I don’t know,” Helena shook her head.

“Witches usually stay in their secret garden.”

“The secret garden is a spatial strange thing, and it can appear anywhere.”

Yang Dian frowned.

“A spatial strange thing that can appear anywhere?”

After muttering to himself, he rubbed his brow.

The Dimension Butterfly, which had woven itself into a cocoon, was pulled out of the Subspace in Yang Dian’s brow.

“Stop sleeping, get to work!”

The Dimension Butterfly reluctantly flew out of its cocoon, flapping its wings and hovering in front of Yang Dian.

“There is a spatial strange thing on Earth that can appear anywhere.”

“Find it.”

The Dimension Butterfly’s wings twitched twice, and then dense, numerous phantoms flew from it, disappearing into the nuns’ secret convent after a couple of flaps.

“This is…”

Looking at the stunned Helena, Yang Dian was a bit puzzled. “You haven’t seen it before?”

Helena shook her head. “I have never seen it through my ability.”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes again. “Even now, I still cannot see it through my ability.”

Yang Dian was thoughtful.

‘Is the Dimension Butterfly’s existence unobservable because the ability’s rank isn’t high enough, inferior to the Dimension Butterfly’s, thus making it ineffective against it?’

‘So, is Helena’s awakened talent ability similar to space, time, or dimension?’

As his thoughts swirled, countless butterfly phantoms flew back from the Void Realm, merging into the Dimension Butterfly’s body.

Just as the Dimension Butterfly conveyed to Yang Dian the consciousness that it had found it, Helena also spoke simultaneously:

“I see where the secret garden is.”

“But I cannot describe its specific location.”

“It’s on a boundless ocean.”

“England’s Princess Artoria is currently communicating with the Witch Leader, the Dragon Witch. She wants to obtain a magic medicine called the Flower of Creation from the Dragon Witch.”

At this point, Helena opened her eyes and looked at Yang Dian. “She wants to trade the Flower of Creation with you in exchange for your troops to support England.”

The magic medicine of The West is equivalent to the Spirit Medicine of The East.

The difference in names is merely due to cultural differences.

So, hearing that Artoria wanted to trade magic medicine for soldiers, Yang Dian was somewhat surprised.

After having Ya Zi search the database and confirming there was no information about the Flower of Creation, Yang Dian couldn’t help but look at Helena. “What kind of magic medicine is the Flower of Creation that makes Artoria confident enough to trade it for soldiers from me?”

“The Flower of Creation is a miraculous plant the Dragon Witch obtained from the planetary remnant. It can slightly increase the surrounding magic power concentration.”

After answering, Helena added, “Magic power is equivalent to China’s Spiritual Qi.”

“Additionally, the Flower of Creation can adapt to Earth’s environment and reproduce, though its speed is somewhat slow.”

“Increase Spiritual Qi concentration, huh?”

What are the benefits of increased Spiritual Qi concentration?

It increases the probability of Awakening and boosts the Cultivation speed of Martial Artists above the Qi Blood Smoke Realm.

It must be said, Artoria knows how to choose.

If she were to trade the Flower of Creation for protection, Yang Dian would indeed grant her protection.

If he really wanted to protect England, he wouldn’t even need to discuss it with the country to send troops to reinforce England.

He would only need to have Ya Zi warn O3.

O3, having been thoroughly beaten by China’s artificial intelligence, would presumably understand the bigger picture.

‘Although other countries’ foundations cannot compare to China’s, they undoubtedly still possess good things.’

‘Perhaps, I should push them a bit?’

As thoughts swirled in his mind, Yang Dian snapped his fingers.

A silver light door opened before Yang Dian, with the azure ocean faintly visible beyond the light door.

Glancing at the location specifically marked by the Dimension Butterfly, Yang Dian turned to Helena. “Are you coming with me, or will you wait for me here?”

“I’ll go with you,” Helena said without hesitation. “Although my strength is not even a fraction of yours, my ability might be able to help you.”

“Then let’s go,” Yang Dian enveloped Helena with his magnetic field and stepped into the light door.

Not long after the two left, Agatha, sensing the disappearance of Yang Dian and Helena’s aura, rushed into the room. She stared at the silver light door opened on the ground, and at Yang Dian, who stood on the sea with Helena on the other side of the light door, hands behind his back, and began to daze.

“The ocean?”

“The nearest coastline is over 100 kilometers from Paris.”

“He can actually open a spatial door directly over the ocean and maintain its existence for a long time.”

“Is this a power that humans can master?”

“Could it be as Ms. Helena said, he truly is the person closest to a god?”

As Agatha was lost in thought, she saw Yang Dian’s right palm emit a golden-black light, pressing down towards the sea…
