Chapter 925 - 925 Retreating the Way Back
925 Retreating the Way Back
Chu Nan discovered that he was lost.
After destroying the stargate with a punch, Chu Nan immediately condensed spatial energy, opened the spatial wall, and entered the alternate space.
The reason why he was relieved to let Tiago and the others enter the stargate and leave first was that he already had the ability to open the spatial wall with his body and pass through the alternate space. He did not need a spaceship to easily follow behind them.
However, when Chu Nan destroyed the stargate and entered the alternate space, he discovered that he had made a very serious mistake.
He had previously been able to pass through the stargate with his body and head to another starry sky from here. He had encountered the caravan of the Etoo Chamber of Commerce. After saving them, he had flown back from Planet Eton with his body because he had previously discovered the key to passing through the stargate. It was to master the trajectory of the special spatial energy fluctuations connected to the stargate, so as to ensure that he would not lose his way in the alternate space.
He originally thought that even if he destroyed this stargate, the trajectory of these special spatial energy fluctuations would still exist and guide him back to Planet Eton, so he did not show any mercy in destroying it.
When he first entered the alternate space, the situation was indeed as he had expected. The trajectory of those special spatial energy fluctuations was still there.
However, when he flew in the direction of this trajectory for a while, he discovered that the traces of spatial energy fluctuations in this special trajectory were getting weaker and weaker until they completely disappeared.
After being stunned for a moment, Chu Nan immediately understood.
Clearly, the reason why such a special spatial energy fluctuation trajectory could be maintained in the alternate space previously was that the stargate provided a special locational anchor in the alternate space. The two stargates were connected, forming such a special spatial energy fluctuation trajectory that guided the direction of the stargate.
Now that the stargate here had been destroyed by Chu Nan’s punch and this anchor had disappeared, it was naturally impossible to maintain this special trajectory.
After figuring this out, the first problem Chu Nan was worried about was Tiago and the others.
Without this special spatial energy fluctuation trajectory that was equivalent to the “road” in the alternate space as a guide, could they still successfully return to Planet Eton?
However, Chu Nan quickly felt relieved.
A spaceship that could pass through the stargate should have a complete star map. The moment they entered the stargate, they should have already confirmed their destination.
The moment they entered the stargate, the mainframe A.I. of the spaceship should have confirmed the flight route. Next, they only needed to fly according to the planned route.
Therefore, in theory, even if the trajectory that guided the navigation direction disappeared because of the destruction of the stargate, they should be able to successfully reach the stargate where Planet Eton was under the guidance of the mainframe A.I. of the spaceship.
The true problem was Chu Nan himself.
Even if his brain was comparable to an A.I., he did not have the complete star map of this Star Field in his mind, so it was naturally impossible for him to confirm the complete flight route the moment he entered the stargate.
Therefore… he was lost.
Chu Nan stabilized his body and did not dare to move.
Flying a short distance in the alternate space might have already crossed the vast starry sky in the positive space universe.
He had already flown in the alternate space for more than ten minutes. In the positive space universe, who knew how far he had flown?
If he continued to fly around, he was not sure where he would end up.
The starry sky of the universe was endless. He did not dare to guarantee that his luck was still as good as after he was slapped into the stargate by Grek last time. After jumping out, he could encounter that mysterious girl and be saved successfully.
It was terrifying to be completely lost in the starry sky.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Nan turned around and began to fly back in the direction he had flown in.
At this moment, his powerful A.I.-like brain was useful again.
When he felt that the trajectory of the special spatial energy fluctuation was weakening, Chu Nan began to increase his vigilance. Therefore, he basically memorized the trajectory of his flight recently.
Now that he had turned around, he could accurately fly back according to the trajectory when he flew over.
“Sigh, if only I had completely memorized this trajectory when I flew over from Planet Eton previously.”
A trace of regret flashed through Chu Nan’s heart before he shook his head.
At that time, he did not expect such a situation to happen, so how could he have expected it in advance?
After flying for a while, Chu Nan was already infinitely close to the area of the previous stargate.
Due to the fact that he could not clearly determine the direction, Chu Nan did not dare to continue flying around. He opened the spatial wall and returned to the positive space universe.
Starlight entered his vision again. The first thing Chu Nan saw was a huge star shining on the left and he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Being able to see a huge star so clearly proved that he was in the range of a star system.
This place was naturally not far from the star system he was in previously, so in fact, he should have successfully returned the way he came and returned to the star system he was in.
After flying in the direction of the star for a while, Chu Nan quickly discovered that the surrounding starry sky was identical to the starry sky in his memory.
After confirming that he was not really lost, Chu Nan heaved a sigh of relief and opened the spatial wall again. He entered the alternate space and flew towards the planet that had landed with Tiago and the others.
Two minutes later, Chu Nan jumped out of the alternate space again and appeared outside the planet’s atmosphere.
Looking up, he discovered that in the synchronous orbit on the other side of the planet, there was still half of the spaceship brought by Rowe and Ankelu floating.
Chu Nan did not have the intention to take the opportunity to destroy it. His current state was very poor and he could not provoke trouble.
With a slight movement, Chu Nan landed on the surface of the planet below. Before long, he passed through the atmosphere and jumped into the sky from the starry sky.
At this moment, it was early in the morning on the island. Be it the monsters in the sky or the sea, they had already retreated. Chu Nan flew straight to the island and entered the cave that Tiago and the others had discovered in the middle of the island to hide.
Rowe and the others might not have expected Chu Nan to return to this planet, but for safety’s sake, before he completely recovered, he did not plan to act rashly.
As soon as he entered the cave, he found something to simply hide at the entrance. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to activate the Nine Revolutions Technique to calmly adjust his Internal Breath.
Although the battle with Rowe and Ankelu had only taken a short period of time, in order to entangle or even suppress the two of them alone and prevent them from diverting their attention to the small spaceship that Tiago and the others were escaping, Chu Nan was forced to maintain the Nine Revolutions Star Cloud.
This state placed extremely great pressure on him, causing his body to be affected to a certain extent. The meridians in his dantian were damaged to varying degrees, and even the star cloud in his body showed signs of collapsing because it was forcefully urged. It seemed to be extremely unstable.
Fortunately, Chu Nan’s grasp of the situation in his body was extremely precise. After checking his entire body, he slowly urged his Internal Breath to enter the star cloud and help it stabilize again. At the same time, he circulated the Flame of Life and the Goddess’ Song cultivation method and deliberately slowly healed the injuries in his body.
Chu Nan, who had focused all his energy on the situation in his body, did not discover that when he urged the Goddess’ Song cultivation method, the spatial energy around him was completely transformed into life force. Apart from most of it entering his body to help him recover from his injuries, there was a trace of green aura that represented life force that directly entered the ground under his butt.
