390 Restrictions (1/2)

The feeling of dream-traversing was a mysterious one.

Fang Yuan had already dream-traversed to 3 other worlds and was considered rather experienced.

However, even the previous dream-traversing expedition to the Ancient Realm didn't feel as long as this time.

The transference of one's True Spirit should happen in a moment.

However, due to the fact that this new realm was too far away, the time taken to transfer his True Spirit felt extremely long.

His True Spirit floated in a dark space, unable to interact with the surroundings and even time seemed to have come to a stop. That feeling was a hundred times more torturous compared to being trapped in a small dark room and it was a feeling which could potentially turn someone crazy.

The long journey was also depleting the energy of Fang Yuan's True Spirit.

Just as his True Spirit was about to be completely depleted, Fang Yuan felt as though he was about to return without any rewards from this expedition.

”Rumble!”

The space around him shook and a streak of lightning tore the black space apart, allowing light to flood in.

”Whooo!”

Fang Yuan sweated profusely. He felt as though he was a drowning person who was just being rescued. Standing up, he took in a deep breath.

In the sky, the glaring sunlight caused heatwaves to be spread across the land.

Subconsciously, Fang Yuan stretched his right hand out to shield himself from the sunlight. With that, he took notice of his dirty and small hands. He was a skinny boy who seemed around 12 years old.

”Am I now a kid?”

Fang Yuan let out a bitter smile and observed the surroundings.

On a white birch tree, there were many chirps.

His small body was wearing a white shirt and a green pair of long pants. They were of good quality but were pale from being washed many times. There were holes in his shoes.

In his sight, he could see a cemented building. It was a short building and was at most two storeys high.

The field was surrounded with a cemented wall painted in red paint. There were taglines painted on the walls. On an antenna by the side of the field, there was a huge loudspeaker blasting loud music. Occasionally, there was the energetic voice of the broadcaster.

”Television, broadcast?”

Fang Yuan felt that everything was a little weird. ”Didn't she say that it was steam technology?”

All of this gave him a weird sense of familiarity. It was as though the faded pictures of his past life had actualised into the world.

Racking his brains, he finally recalled some bits and pieces of memories.

Although he was only a kid, he had undergone education and Fang Yuan was able to deduce the details of the world from his incomplete memories.

This realm was spherical and was known as Planet Earth. In outer space, there was a sun, a moon, and other planets, forming a solar system. However, there was only one such planet in the entire system that was suitable for humans to live on.

70% of the surface of this planet was covered in oceans and there were 3 main continents. Over a 100 countries were spread across these continents. There were more than 1,000 races of people and these races were constantly in conflict. In fact, a devastating world war had just ended.

With the advancement of technology came the improvements in the quality of life, but there were troubles as well.

After the world war, over 10 countries were wiped from the surface of Planet Earth. A few billion people were killed. However, at the same time, there were countries which benefited from the war and grew stronger.

For instance, in the country he was in - Chinese Country, the country had successfully taken the opportunity to unify a few countries in the vicinity, forming an alliance across an entire land mass across a continent. The country now had a coast which stretched over ten thousands of miles. Because the people of these unified countries were similar and once had strong ties, their cultures were smoothly integrated and their combined powers were rather substantial. After the war, the unified country became one of the superpowers with substantial influence in the world.

Mmmm, this realm only had 3 continents, split into the East Continent, Middle Continent and West Continent. The people of the West Continent had fairer skins, blond hairs and green eyes. The people of the East Continent were mixed, while the people of the Middle Continent were people with yellow skin.

Fang Yuan was now in an orphanage in Chinese Country.

After all, this was the year 999. It was only 5 years after World War 1. Therefore, many kids were orphaned and taken care of by the country. The body which he was possessing was one of the unfortunate children.

”Fortunately... I am still known as Fang Yuan. I won't have to change my name that way!”

Fang Yuan took in a deep breath, closed his eyes and focused.

After a while, Fang Yuan revealed a desperate look. ”It is indeed impossible! This realm is not hospitable to supernatural forces! The rules of reality are too harsh.”

Just previously, he had tried to detect natural elemental energy. However, he had gotten nothing from it, as though this realm was a desert for natural energy.

Fang Yuan knew that the source of energy of this realm was bountiful and that this was not the end. The only explanation would be that his system was not compatible with this world.

”How hard would it be to cultivate in another technique? Let's forget that idea for now... In terms of martial arts, as soon as it involves elemental force, it will no longer work. I can only preserve the most basic martial arts to strengthen my physical body.”

He shook his head and exclaimed. ”Stats!”

With that, a screen appeared. Although it was hard to read the figures, Fang Yuan could still vaguely make out the words:

”Name: Fang Yuan

Essence: 0.5

Spirit: 0.1

Magic: 0.9

Profession: ???

Cultivation: ???

Technique: ???

Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)]”

”Everything has been cleared indeed! This is even scarier than the Water Realm!”
