Chapter 1639 - Advancing Into the Umbral Realm (2/2)

Behind the starship were two assembled armies: the argent hive swarm of the droids, and the imposing guardian fleet.

The two armies were on standby, and once the Petrachelys starts broadcasting the navigation marker within the Umbral Realm, they will immediately leap into the fray.

Hao Ren stood on the bridge of the Petrachelys as he looked at Salaman through the communicator, “We will determine the situation there once we arrive and set up an anchor point if it is safe. If we need the fleet’s support, we will start broadcasting the signal. But there could be other situations that cannot be resolved by the fleet, if that’s the case you’ll have to wait. All in all, if the World Tree does not sound the alarm, that means we have not failed yet.”

Salaman’s projection nodded, “Regardless if you broadcast or not, we will be standing by here, until battle comes, or you return.

He then lowered his head. “Safe journeys.”

With the communication end, Hao Ren turned his sight to the bridge.

“Nolan, prepare to connect the navigation marker.”

A panel from the control console extended up and on the panel was a shiny connection port. Hao Ren pulled out the “god’s kingdom marker” made out of three tiny crystals from his Dimensional Pocket and carefully place them in the slots.

The console then closed itself as Nolan’s clear voice rang across the bridge. “Reading external navigation signal… Signal decoding completed… Calculation complete… Data imported to navigation system. warp drive entering void mode, void engines engaged. Commencing jump in… five, four….”

The space before the Petrachelys started to collapse as ripples appeared and formed into a vortex twice the size of the ship. Within the vortex, it was absolute chaos.

This was not a scene from anywhere within the Plane of Dreams, but a refracted image of the distant Umbral Realm, appearing as a bizarre image in this world.

“Two, one. warp activated.”

The next second, the Petrachelys became an ethereal argent light and dashed directly into the swirling vortex.

She had disappeared from this universe.

“We are passing through a very unstable zone,” Nolan announced loudly on the bridge the current status of the jump. “There may be turbulence, do not leave your seats, do not unfasten your seat belts, keep your tail if you have one so that you don’t touch anything you’re not supposed to!”

The images from the sensors outside were a chaotic mess. It was a bizarre scene fused together with the stars in the background, and after a violent distortion, it engulfed everything. The ship was now passing through an uneven lens tunnel and everything within the lens was consolidated together, and within this whirl of madness, the Petrachelys was the only thing maintaining its form.

The ship started shaking violently, and even the stabilizers and dampeners could not help against the turbulence.

“Space structures disappeared. Time structure disappeared. Sequencing logic disintegrating.” Nolan started reporting again as the light outside disintegrated and disappeared. The ship was now away from an orderly universe and closing in onto the void. “Reaching target marker in nine, eight…”

A strange howl rang within everyone’s minds. This was not a real howl, rather an illusion created by a torrent of information crashing against one’s spirit as they entered the edge of the world.

“Hurry up hurry up hurry up…” Nangong Wuyue had practically curled up on the entire chair as she mumbled. “I’m gonna puke if this shaking does not stop…”

“Three, two, one… Destination arrived!”

The shaking stopped as suddenly as it came and all howling disappeared in the blink of an eye. The entire harrowing journey earlier seemed like a dream.

Only the readings of the violent turbulence recorded on the control console showed how the ship had gone through a terrifying voyage.

“Check the stealth system!” Hao Ren’s first order was for the ship to cloak itself the moment everything stabilized.

“Stealth system normal. The ship is currently hidden.”

“Haahh…” Hao Ren let out a sigh of relief. “Keep the stealth system engaged. Reactivate the external monitors and sensors. We need to find a visible dimensional reference.”

“Boss… the situation is not quite the same as we thought.” Nolan’s tone was slightly weird. “We… are inside an atmosphere, and the environment outside… is very cozy.”
