Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 853: Cage of Curvature 610_2

After all, on this planet, apart from the unreasonable existence of Bai E, only the Prophet of the Elf Race is known to have the highest level of Spiritual Energy cultivation.

If Bai E needs any help with Spiritual Energy, perhaps only she would have the ability to provide it.

Feng Ling, who was quietly drawing on the side, shook his head with a smile, "Taking an entire Starship across hundreds of light-years, if such a level of consumption couldn't put him in this state, I'd really start questioning the reality of this world..."

There are four-tier Spiritual Energies among humans and elves, but how can their four-tiers compare to a terrifying monster like Bai E?

Now that he's in such a deep coma, it actually brings some peace of mind.

At least... this guy isn't the true form of a constantly disguised Evil God.

However, Yue Ying remains uneasy. For someone of Bai E's level, would falling into Spiritual Energy depletion be more troublesome than for ordinary people?

In past cases, few Spiritual Energies who fell into depletion have been able to restore their energy, and even if they did, it was difficult to return to their peak level in the short term.

If such a thing were to happen to Bai E...

"Don't worry..." Feeling Bai E's calm breath, Feng Ling shook his head and smiled, "Such a setback is nothing to him."

Just as his Spiritual Energy growth surpassed all historical records, recovery... shouldn't be too difficult for him.

The only thing that needs consideration right now... is whether they can find a way out of this "cage"?

Eyelids gently twitching, breathing slightly heavy.

Both Yue Ying and Feng Ling, among the few strong individuals on this planet, looked simultaneously at the sleeping figure on the bed.

Soft light, filtering through the slit of the eyes, entered the vision.

A faint fragrance, lingering above the nose bridge.

Bai E opened his eyes and saw two picturesque faces.

"Awake?" Feng Ling smiled gently.

"Mm." Bai E slowly sat up, thoughts returning to before his coma.

Realizing he had successfully brought the Starship back to the planet and completed the transfer in front of Helen, he silently breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've heard about it, your mission this time didn't seem to go so smoothly..." Feng Ling smiled lightly, as if he never worried about these apparent difficulties.

"Mm." Bai E chuckled bitterly, lowering his head, "The technology isn't enough... I don't know if Helen can solve it."

If we had to rely on the planet's technological advancements to slowly overcome this issue, who knows how long it would take?

Or simply fly solo in the universe with a Mecha... but at his speed, how many years would it take to cover the distance a curvature ship flew?

"It's doable~" Feng Ling smiled gently at Bai E, "With what you've accumulated now, there's a way to solve this problem."

'So certain?'

Bai E's eyes lit up.

The Elf Race's Prophet wouldn't speak without basis, nor would she need to say such things to comfort him.

Immediately, his face showed joy, and he asked excitedly, "Really a way?"

"I don't know~" Feng Ling smiled mysteriously, "I can only see a vague 'answer', but I can't see the detailed process. The specific method requires you all to find it yourselves."

"..." Bai E was stunned, instantly jumping up and rushing outside.

Yue Ying hurried to follow, "You just woke up, don't you want to rest?"

"No mood for it."

Taking the first step into the universe and facing setbacks without finding a solution, Bai E couldn't sleep peacefully.

Quickly finding Helen, Bai E immediately asked, "Any solutions yet?"

Having not slept for two days and nights, Helen's delicate face also looked somewhat pale and haggard. Facing Bai E's inquiry, Helen shook her head with a bitter smile, "Can't find it."

Can't find it at all.

"According to your experience this time, adaptive repair metals can indeed counteract the tearing effects on Starships caused by changes in rules to some extent. But the thirty-two-element alloy used on Starships is already our most advanced alloy material, and even it can't help you completely exit the black hole's influence range. With our current level... there's no hope in the short term to break out of this cage."

"Isn't there some compromise? For example, could our Starship be designed with a median value between a normal curvature environment and the curvature here as its core? That might allow our Starship to operate in an extreme state and navigate through flat space?"

"Too idealistic..." Helen shook her head, "A slight error can lead to a thousand miles' mistake. In the field of astronomy, even a 1% discrepancy at the start can lead to an irreparable gulf. At our current location, it's impossible to produce a Starship with so-called median curvature. Not to mention, even if it were made, who knows if there might be larger space distortions where you're headed next? When the Starship disintegrates again, how will you come back?"

Distance is the coldest judgment the universe holds over intelligent life.

They managed to solve the issues of lifespan and speed, yet different curvatures in different areas of the universe locked them in cages.

"Is there really no feasible way?" Bai E asked, unwilling to give up.

The Prophet of the Elf Race had mentioned that with their current technology, there was surely a solution, and it wouldn't have been said to fool them out of thin air.

"There are methods, but not ones you would want." Helen hung her head, equally despondent, "I call it the 'Stepping Stone Plan.' We can use our current maximum travel distance as a limit to find habitable planets within range. Then we can locally gather resources to manufacture a second-generation Starship with the planet's local curvature. Within the second-generation Starship's maximum range, we continue looking for and utilizing habitable planets to make a third-generation Starship. By dividing the entire universe into Stellar Districts based on spatial curvature, humanity's footprint could eventually reach every corner of the universe. However, this time..."

It's only a grand expedition for humanity's future generations, not a short-term solution they can see in their lifetime.

"..." Bai E pursed his lips, somewhat doubtful if the vague 'result' the Elf Prophet foresaw was indeed such a long-term plan.

Given the vague nature of their Elf Race prophecies, such a possibility wasn't out of the question.

If so, what does it have to do with him?

Surely the universe isn't so dark and cold, that they would be confined to a "ring" within it?

"No! I don't believe it. There must be another way!"

Bai E stared, unwilling to concede.

"Crossing space shouldn't be this difficult."

After all, in the promotional articles or images he had seen for games, stepping into the universe was when players truly started the game.

The name "Galaxy Online" shouldn't just be an empty promise.

"Space..."

"Space..."

Space shouldn't be something sacred and insurmountable.

At a lightning-fast moment, a bright image suddenly burst into Bai E's pitch-black mind—

A dim and warped purple space, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

Higher-dimensional space!

"Higher-dimensional space!" Bai E suddenly spoke.

"What?" Helen was taken aback, clearly unaware of Bai E's intention.

"Higher-dimensional space!" Bai E's eyes sparkled, "Remember how their Elf Race delegation came to our Blackwater City?"
