226: Chapter 226 The Hidden Dangers of Interdimensional Travelers
After stepping out of the room, Chen Moxuan didn't delay for a moment and went straight to find Song Xin, who was waiting quietly outside.
With an urgent expression, he hurried to ask Song Xin about various details regarding [Otherworld Walker].
During the process, he inevitably informed her of Lei Wanjun's origins.
"You're saying... Elder Lei actually smuggled himself over from your world when we encountered the Explosive Flame King?"
Hearing this, Song Xin's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with looks of unbelievable shock.
"Have you ever encountered this situation before?"
Chen Moxuan's brows furrowed tightly as he asked urgently.
Song Xin, however, fell into her own thoughts, completely failing to notice Chen Moxuan's urgency.
She lowered her head slightly and muttered under her breath:
"Such an operation is actually possible... But why was it completely useless when I wanted to bring Revered Master over like that before..."
"Hey, are you listening!"
Seeing Song Xin so absent-minded, Chen Moxuan felt a surge of anger toward her personality that couldn't distinguish between urgent and non-urgent matters, even though he knew her behavior might be influenced by the demon.
He still couldn't help but feel angry at her inability to prioritize properly.
"Ah... sorry."
Song Xin was startled by Chen Moxuan's sudden angry reaction. Snapping back to her senses, she hurried to continue answering his question.
"Never... Logically speaking, since he isn't from this world, he should have returned to his original world under the influence of the Law of Time Balance..."
The time balance of [Otherworld Walker] is centered on the affected person's native world.
The affected person can stay in their native world for a long time; however, the time spent in an otherworldly realm must use the first traversal as a starting point to achieve time balance.
Seeing that his inquiries were fruitless, Chen Moxuan couldn't help but say:
"Why is your Special Ability so strange? Under what circumstances did you awaken this Special Ability anyway?"
To this, Song Xin became hesitant and evasive:
"Um... I don't remember. It was many years ago..."
"Besides, I think you're the strange one!
Others go to otherworlds that are vastly different from here, but you ended up in an extremely similar world."
"Now you can even bring people from another world over. If it weren't for the fact that I was the one who sent you there, I'd doubt if we were even using the same Special Ability."
Hearing the keyword in Song Xin's words, Chen Moxuan's heart stirred, and he asked curiously:
"Others? How many people have you used [Otherworld Walker] on so far?"
Song Xin paused, reminiscing:
"So far, besides you and me, there have been about five people."
Hearing this, Chen Moxuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, his eyes full of surprise:
"Why so few?"
In Chen Moxuan's view, [Otherworld Walker] was undoubtedly an extremely powerful support-type Special Ability.
It allowed the affected person to traverse to another world and directly achieve a deep Fusion of memory and Soul with their self in that world.
Even for the Physical Body, it would take the superior existence between the two.
Take Song Xin for example; with the help of [Otherworld Walker], she successfully learned the immortal arts possessed by her self in another world.
And Chen Moxuan was an even greater beneficiary of this Special Ability.
If [Otherworld Walker] hadn't allowed him to fuse with his self in the Martial Arts World—who possessed a Physical Body and Soul far exceeding ordinary people—
He would probably still be struggling with the heavy burden placed on his brain by [All-Things Calculation].
Or rather, he would have already died at the hands of Wan Chaoren.
Even with just one traversal, the initial Fusion with one's otherworldly self through [Otherworld Walker] would significantly enhance Soul strength and allow one to Revered Master the miraculous methods and rich knowledge of the other world.
Logically, it should have a hundred benefits and not a single harm.
But thinking carefully, the members of the Madman Society he had encountered so far didn't seem to have been affected by Song Xin's Special Ability.
"Because it's very dangerous."
Facing Chen Moxuan's questioning, Song Xin answered,
"Using it on you back then was only a last resort, a 'give it a try' kind of thought."
"The act of traversing to another world is inherently full of immense risks.
Although it hasn't been verified through extensive experimentation, I suspect that other worlds have an extremely strong rejection toward outsiders."
"A traverser's circumstances in another world will become extremely dire, and every traversal has a high probability of facing a life-or-death crisis.
In the terminology of our side, it means having extremely poor Luck."
Listening to Song Xin's words, many of the doubts in Chen Moxuan's heart seemed to suddenly find answers at this moment.
Recalling when he first traversed to the Martial Arts World, if it hadn't been for [All-Things Calculation], he would have died at the hands of that blood tribe member long ago.
Furthermore, his situation was even worse than what Song Xin described; it seemed that from the very first traversal, he began to encounter one crisis after another.
Even after returning to this world, the situation hadn't changed, and he still frequently fell into desperate straits.
Song Xin was likely able to realize this not just through her own experiences.
Chen Moxuan paused slightly, his eyes fixed on Song Xin, and asked in a low voice:
"Those five people you mentioned... are they all still alive?"
"Three of them died."
Song Xin's face was complex, her expression a bit lonely.
"I don't know what those three encountered in the other world.
It's just that the second after I used [Otherworld Walker] on them, they instantly became corpses with various causes of death."
"Afterward, their bodies even disappeared, and no one even remembered them, as if they never existed in this world. Only I still remember."
"Even their existence vanished?" Chen Moxuan was slightly stunned.
If it truly was as Song Xin said, then he couldn't rashly use [Otherworld Walker] on Lei Wanjun.
Moreover, even if he could luckily send Lei Wanjun back to his original world, with his current weakened physical condition, he might not be able to find the world heart within three hours to recover himself.
Perhaps for now, it was better for him to use [Otherworld Walker] on himself to return to the Martial Arts World and then find a way to obtain a world heart.
Without Lei Wanjun's assistance, the difficulty of obtaining a world heart would undoubtedly increase significantly.
He would either have to rely on Opportunity to become the Revered Master of a Secret Realm or find someone who owned a Secret Realm and then find a way to request a world heart from them.
Although both paths were difficult, fortunately, he had plenty of time this time, and according to Lei Wanjun, his status in the Martial Arts World was already completely different from before.
As long as he returned to the Martial Arts World, he would eventually find a way.
The reason he hadn't immediately considered this plan was that he always had misgivings in his heart.
He couldn't know what unpredictable impacts would be produced on the Lei Wanjun in this world, as well as the Lei Wanjun who had vanished relative to the Martial Arts World, after he returned to the Martial Arts World.
But as things stood, he could only give it a try.
"Alright, I understand."
Chen Moxuan gave Song Xin a slight nod, then turned and went back into Lei Wanjun's hospital room once more.
Before using [Otherworld Walker] on himself to return to the Martial Arts World, he intended to say goodbye to Lei Wanjun one last time.
