Chapter 708 Ancient Heaven

In a place that is infinitely close to nothingness, a huge palace complex is quietly located here.

The layout of the palace is square, with four major gates in the east, south, west and north.

They are like city walls, guarding the palace complex tightly.

…

"Is this the real [Nantianmen]?"

"The name of our club is really not made up!"

In the south of the palace complex, in front of the vast giant gate.

Chen Qi felt that his neck was sore from lifting it, and he did not see the complete outline of the giant gate.

It seems that it is a bit difficult for him to be a security guard in front of such a big door.

…

"Xiaodi Chen, you are finally here."

"Brother, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Xiaodi, your cultivation speed is faster than we expected."

"It is really unparalleled!"

The Nantianmen is open, and Chen Qi is now at the left half of the door.

And at the right half of the door, an old acquaintance of Chen Qi has been waiting here for a long time.

…

“Senior Gu Yunqing, I didn’t expect that we would be guarding the gate together!”

“What a fate!”

When Chen Qi saw the other gatekeeper, his eyes lit up. It was good to have an “acquaintance”. At least he wouldn’t be lonely to chat.

Gu Yunqing was one of the seven school rules enforcers of the Nantian Society.

Chen Qi even had a meeting with this senior!

I really didn’t expect that this [Nantian Gate] was really impressive.

They actually needed two school rules enforcers to guard it.

…

“Hahaha, fate is indeed there.”

“It can be said that since you became the school rules enforcer, I have been waiting to work with you!”

“The four gates of the ancient heaven are guarded by the top four clubs in the college.”

“Our Nantian Society is more friendly to others, so we guard this [Nantian Gate].”

Gu Yunqing introduced their work to Chen Qi in detail.

This can also be regarded as training for new employees.

…

According to Gu Yunqing, no matter which club it is, the important job of guarding the gate is concurrently performed by the school rules enforcer.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the identity of the school rules enforcer is relatively important.

The spiritual dimension is full of crises, so it is of course safer to keep it under your nose.

On the other hand, it is the specialness of the ancient heaven.

…

"Junior, you should have heard of the 4th Heavenly Dynasty."

"The ancient heaven is a product of that era."

"And our school rules also originated from that era."

"We, the school rules enforcers, naturally have certain powers in the ancient heaven."

"For example, this [South Heaven Gate], except for us, even if the weaver descends, it cannot be opened and closed."

Gu Yunqing had a hint of complacency on his face. Although they, the school rules enforcers, are relatively "lonely" in the real world.

But in the spiritual dimension, in the ancient heaven, they are really standing up.

Although it is just a sesame-sized official in the heaven, why don’t you try to offend me?

…

"The Ancient Heaven Court is indeed from the old times!"

"Our Tianwu Spell Academy has a deep connection with that era."

Out of his love for work, Chen Qi did some research on his workplace in advance.

…

Unfortunately, even in the advanced internal reference, he only knew in general that the real Nantianmen was located in the spiritual dimension.

It is the southern gate of the [Ancient Heaven Court].

As for the origin of the [Ancient Heaven Court], since it involves the old times, there is very little information on the surface.

This is naturally not the ignorance of the academy.

It can only be that Chen Qi's authority 5 is not enough.

He cannot access the secrets of the old times.

…

"Boom!"

According to Gu Yunqing's teachings, Chen Qi began to "refine" his half of the door.

Everything went very smoothly, but in the blink of an eye, accompanied by the vibration of the left half of the door.

Chen Qi appeared on the door like a sticker or a door god.

…

"Oh my god, is this a security guard or a [door spirit]?"

The moment he merged with the portal, Chen Qi felt as if he had really turned into a giant door.

It stood there quietly, spending billions of years.

Through the perspective of the [door], Chen Qi looked out.

Then he saw the spiritual dimension that was as bright as stars.

…

"What is that?"

"The mortal world?"

Perhaps it was because Chen Qi projected the authority of information here.

After his eyes penetrated billions of spiritual dimensions, he saw a huge ice surface.

…

Under the ice surface, the neon lights of the city, the smoke from cooking, and countless humans burning themselves like candles.

That was the tens of trillions of humans in the material world, who were undergoing life alchemical reactions and constantly emitting spirituality.

The light that refracted through the ice surface to the spiritual dimension was the endless [spiritual distortion force].

And it was these spiritual lights that illuminated the inky [nothingness] and shaped one spiritual dimension after another.

...

Perhaps it was because he had been watching for too long.

In a trance, Chen Qi, who was overlooking the brilliant world, actually had a feeling of "looking down from a high place".

He felt that he was in a "higher dimension" at this moment.

He was a high and mighty immortal, punishing on behalf of the heavens and herding the common people at will.

...

[Immortal Realm], [Spirit Realm], [Human World].

A sense of the wonderful world structure surged into Chen Qi's mind.

The ancient heaven where Chen Qi is located is of course the [Immortal Realm].

That endless [spiritual dimension] is the [spiritual realm].

The material world under the ice is naturally the [human world].

…

This seems very reasonable and very natural.

Chen Qi even instinctively felt a trace of recognition.

But as the infinite immortals bloomed with the fire of wisdom, Chen Qi suddenly woke up.

This is nonsense. How is it reasonable?

…

Upside down, everything is upside down.

Compared with the real material world, the spiritual dimension is "lower".

The ancient heaven is obviously closer to [nothingness], lower than many spiritual dimensions, and even less real.

If Chen Qi agreed with that theory just now, it would be equivalent to losing his own [reality].

Damn, being a security guard is so dangerous!

I almost died when I first started working!

…

"Junior Chen, you are finally awake."

"Scared me."

"Junior, your eyes are so good, you can actually see [the human world] at a glance."

"Many people in the academy are now spreading the word that you have mastered the Original String, junior."

"I was doubtful before, but now I believe it!"

"I didn't expect that what my junior projected here was actually information authority."

The moment he saw Chen Qi "addicted", Gu Yunqing realized something was wrong.

…

The junior fellow's movements were too fast. He went straight to work before he even finished explaining the precautions.

If that's all, this isn't a problem.

But how could it be possible that just after taking up the job, he could penetrate everything and see the real world.

…

Things must be reversed at their extremes, and everything in the world is relative.

Looking at the spiritual dimension from the real world, of course I feel that I am in a higher dimension.

Similarly, if you take the perspective of [Ancient Heavenly Court].

When you look down at heaven from the abyss, you will also feel that the other person is in a lower dimension.

This may seem like just a cognitive change, not a big deal.

…

But where Chen Qi is now is in the spiritual dimension.

Once you identify with this "perspective", it is equivalent to yourself being assimilated.

Even if Chen Qi is just a projection body now, even after being assimilated, the projection body will be more "real" and more powerful.

But the true self in the real world has to pay the price of reduced realism.

…

Once the reality of a living body is reduced, even if it is not serious enough to be incompatible with the real world, it will be targeted by the world.

There will also be reductions in various aspects of oneself, such as luck, talent, lifespan, etc.

For an extraordinary person, this is no less than carving out the bones and removing the flesh.

…

If Chen Qi had just gone to work, he would have "fallen" on this.

Gu Yunqing felt like he couldn't even wash himself away after jumping into the sea.

With the conscience of heaven and earth, he also plans to be lifelong good friends with Junior Chen, and he really has no intention of cheating anyone at all.

…

This can really only be blamed on my junior’s eyes.

He, Gu Yunqing, had been a guard for decades and had only seen the human world a few times.

This was because he had known the "taboo" for a long time and was mentally prepared.

Even so, he almost lost it once.

After that, Gu Yunqing no longer dared to look around.

…

It can be said that working as a security guard in heaven is indeed very safe.

But it's not without some danger.

Due to the special nature of the heavenly gate, the gatekeeper can easily see all the worlds and the world.

This is an opportunity, but also a test.

…

If you watch too much, the gatekeeper can easily be assimilated into the spiritual dimension.

Therefore, generally speaking, the gatekeepers of Heavenly Court are "short-term".

Once cognitive confusion occurs and you are about to get lost, you have to "lay off" and return to the real world.

This is how Chen Qi's predecessor retired.

…

"Senior Gu, don't worry."

"I was just greedy and reckless!"

"On the road to cultivation, one should indeed proceed cautiously and slowly."

"But I don't know if we [guards] have any other taboos."

"I hope the senior will inform you as well."

After almost suffering a big loss, Chen Qi also became "cowarded".

Newcomers should be "low-key" when they go to work. I didn't expect that just a security guard would have so many twists and turns.

It’s really not easy to work part-time!

…

"Junior, you should really slow down your practice."

"Although our new method is famous for its fast cultivation speed, we are just jogging. Junior, you are already flying."

"Although our job is a welfare position, there are still taboos."

"For example, when [Nantian Gate] is closed, we must not peek into the heaven."

"This is not because we are afraid that we will see the privacy of the big guys, but because there are still some problems in [Ancient Heaven Court] itself."

"[Ancient Heavenly Court] was snatched back from the hands of the Heavenly Demon by our Heavenly Witch and Curses Academy. It itself has been tainted by the Demon."

After seeing Chen Qi's "one step ahead of others", Gu Yunqing no longer dared to follow the steps this time.

Instead, he directly told Chen Qi all the precautions, including his own work experience.

…

According to Gu Yunqing's account, all the senior leaders and Laozhen disciples of the academy have their own residences in [Gu Tianting].

After hearing this, Chen Qi originally imagined whether he could be allocated a welfare house.

As a result, the dream was shattered instantly.

Because if you want to get a house in [Ancient Heaven Court], you have to spend money.

Although Chen Qi and others who are in charge of school regulations enjoy certain benefits.

But it’s just a 30% discount!

…

As for the benefits of the house in [Gutianting], Gu Yunqing, who was still living in the gate, said he didn't know.

If you want to buy a house in [Ancient Heaven Court], you must use [Tianmo Money].

And this kind of thing can only be refined after hunting down the demon.

Gu Yunqing was very obedient. He always watched the gate honestly and did not hunt the demon at all.

…

Wen heard that Gu Yunqing had been a doorman for decades, but he never realized his dream of buying a house.

Chen Qi immediately became "livid" and "violent", constantly complaining about Senior Gu.

Damn it, who told me that being a doorman can accept gifts as I please.

…

How could I still not be able to buy a house after receiving gifts for decades?

Could it be that Gu Yunqing was too useless, oh, no, too incorruptible?

If this is the case, this would be a bit difficult to handle!

…

Chen Qi spent his first day on the job in new employee training.

After the power projection is merged with the gate, Chen Qi's projection body can be permanently stationed at [Nantian Gate].

Time in the spiritual dimension is meaningless.

Anyway, after a day in the real world, Chen Qi is already very skilled at being a doorman!

But I never saw anyone else entering or leaving [Nantianmen].

…

Faced with such a deserted working environment, Gu Yunqing said he should stay calm.

He told Chen Qi based on his experience as a veteran that there is no need to work so hard.

Be lazy when you need to be lazy, and fish when you need to fish.

For projection, only a tiny bit of computing power is needed.

…

Generally speaking, [Nantianmen] will not be closed at all unless there are "special circumstances".

Only when the Nantian Gate needs to be closed, do the guards need to go all out.

What are the special circumstances?

Gu Yunqing said that he only encountered one kind, and that was a group of stupid demons coming to kill him.

As a result, Gu Yunqing, who was "scared" and quickly closed the business, was ridiculed for more than ten years.

…

After listening to Gu Yunqing's story, Chen Qi felt that his dream of buying a house might not be realized.

Chen Qi didn't know whether the senior would accept the gift.

But it is clear that very few people give gifts.

That’s all, it’s just a few points every month, why are you working so hard!

…

So after only one day of work, Chen Qi successfully evolved into a veteran and started fishing.

If you don't "stay" at the gate, you can't "come late and leave early".

Chen Qi didn't even want to waste this projection!

…

In the real world, Chen Qi was busy working as a security guard.

In Babu City, the [Destroyer Organization] experimental base, a self-rescue activity is in full swing.

The 15 vice-presidents risked their own glory and lives to teach the Imperial Viscount a lesson.

…

"good very good!"

"The first phase of the experiment is over."

"According to our biological experiments, this black hole is indeed a space-time tunnel."

"Although the white mouse we sent in did not come out, it is still alive inside."

"However, according to monitoring data, the mice's life indicators have been declining."

"I have a bold guess, and we need to confirm it again."

Dulayman, the first vice-president, swept away the Buddhist tradition of the past and presided over the experimental work with high morale.

If it were a real fight with swords and guns, he would naturally have no interest at all.

But he is the best at doing research.

…

"Dulayman, do you think this black hole is a living creature?"

"After all, only if it is alive can it always lock into our [space-time realm]."

"Our previous experiments have determined that the gravitational force is directed towards our own [space-time domain]."

"This is indeed a very subtle way of locking time and space. Unless we can change our own [space-time domain], we cannot get rid of it at all."

“But that doesn’t mean that this lockdown cannot be disrupted.”

"We put in a batch of [raw materials] in an attempt to interfere with this time and space lock."

"It was indeed effective at first, but as the black hole squirmed and collapsed, [the raw materials] were eaten."

"This is definitely not something ordinary space treasures can do."

The third vice president touched his bald head, a wise light flashed in his eyes.

…

Due to the existence of the microscopic door, the macroscopic material world is still in a state of [matter determines space and time].

This state is called [space-time realm].

It can be said that any matter or even life has its own [space-time domain] as long as it exists.

What Dulayman and others are now locked on is their own [space-time realm].

…

Unlike ordinary matter, as long as you delete it casually, you can change the [space-time boundary].

The [space-time realm] of a living body is more complicated and more difficult to change.

So in the face of such a lockdown, Dulayman and others reluctantly took out the [raw materials] treasured by the organization.

…

The raw materials can stimulate [space-time ripples], which can naturally disrupt or even cut off this lock.

It's a pity that it still fell short.

But Dulayman and others were not without gains. The black hole also exposed its own relevant information.

…

"Quickly, send this silver lifeform in."

"Very good, this black hole is indeed edible!"

"Digestion, that silver life form is really being digested."

"Can't you escape?"

"Strange, there is no spatial prohibition at the entrance of the black hole."

The new experiment was quickly launched, and three silver lifeforms were sent into the black hole.

This is all the inventory of the [Destroyer Organization].

…

"It's alive, it's alive."

"Incredible, according to the data we calculated, the inside of the black hole actually looks like a wriggling intestinal wall!"

"Black holes do not have any strong consciousness, only a devouring instinct."

"Activated organ, an activated organ with the power of time and space."

"No way?"

"Could it be that the body of this black hole is the remains of the space-time demon spirit?"

"It seems like this is the only possibility."

After working for a long time, the [Destroyer Organization] is indeed a group of experts who are proficient in time and space research.

They calculated over and over again, and actually described the black hole's body.

It was a crooked intestine, and they were now locked by the power of time and space emanating from the intestine.

…

To be honest, the 15 vice presidents who learned the truth were a little confused.

The reason why they targeted the Imperial Viscount was because of the remains of the time and space demon spirit.

But now, this thing is automatically delivered to your door.

…

So, is this the Imperial Viscount looking down on them?

Do you think it is impossible for them to snatch this treasure away?

Can this be tolerated?

He must be taught a lesson!
