Chapter 472 - A Portable Portal (1/2)

The Sages were so terrified that they had given in.

It was impossible to believe this if it was made known, but it was true.

Because the power of the weapons that the Chen family had come up with, was too shocking.

The anti-matter bombs with a yield of 10 billion tons. Even a Sage could be destroyed by that.

Even if the Sages could not be killed, as long as a few of those bombs were distributed evenly across the earth and detonated at the same time, the billions of Protoss representing the foundation of their race would be instantly destroyed.

The Protoss… would be declared extinct.

Indeed, the powerful Sages could regard all the common people in the world as insignificant beings. But if the Protoss were annihilated, and there were only the three Sages left as the Protoss?

The Sages could still survive after losing their roots and live a life as long as the universe. But they would only be three lonely people.

Moreover, without the fate of the Protoss as a group, with the loss of the support from the fate flowing through an entire race, even a Sage would not be able to carry on for long. They would be riddled with various disasters, inexplicably struck with bad luck, and their opportunities and destinies would even be plundered by those with greater luck.

Therefore, even the Sages must make certain compromises on the safety of the tribes… The two are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

…

The humans were victorious.

The Protoss were forced to integrate.

The war on earth finally ended with peace and they entered a new era.

Everything would develop towards the bright side, at least for a while. There was no need to no be too worried.

Therefore, Chen Jin put a lot of time and energy into cultivation.

As a legendary player who spent a lot of money to buy all the cheat codes and extra weapons, his cultivation could be described as having all the advantages that others did not have.

Such as the best of cultivation exercises.

Inexhaustible spirit stones.

All kinds of supplementary magical elixirs and treasures.

Each element of cultivation was flooded with as many supplementary materials and actions that money could buy.

But even so, his achievements through the decades of cultivation were only comparable to that of an ordinary genius.

It took more than 40 years for his cultivation level to reach the middle of the Yuanying phase.

Until the last ten years, when he took a genetic evolution drug with a safety factor of 99.99%. After more than 30 rounds of continuous evolution, he had the body of a Sage; the aptitudes of this ‘body’ went against all natural order.

Then again, what were the uses of such a body?

Based on the most direct observation of its uses, one could see that the efficiency of one’s cultivation increased by five times on the spot.

After the genetic upgrades were completed, the efficiency of one’s cultivation improved tenfold.

These aptitudes and qualities that went against the natural order made Chen Jin somewhat speechless. He keenly felt the many resources that he had invested in cultivation previously; those had turned out to be a waste. Comparing those with the body of a Sage and those who did not, these were completely two sets of different configurations.

When the effects of the cultivation supplements were added to the body of a Sage, it could be described as going against all natural orders.

In the middle of the Jushen phase, less than five years after transforming his body into that which was qualified to be a Sage’s, Chen Jin had risen through several cultivation levels in a row.

When one arrived at the Jushen phase, the practitioner’s consciousness would skyrocket and his soul would expand. He would undergo tremendous changes on the spiritual level.

At this stage, as long as one’s aptitude and qualifications were good enough, one could start to gain enlightenment regarding some of the laws of the universe and understand the deeper mysteries to a certain extent.

Say, what was the law that Chen Jin wanted to know the most?

Time and space.

There was no doubt that it was the law of time and space.

Because the space portal located in his old villa where he had stayed for more than a hundred years had still not been moved.

Until today, it remained a hidden danger that faced the threat of discovery.

In the past 100 plus years, not a year went by where Chen Jin did not think about how to solve this major potential pitfall.

However, due to insufficient technical capabilities, no significant progress had been made.

However, things had changed a bit recently.

It was possible he could move the portal elsewhere, even carry it on him.

Then again, how was this possible? The idea that the portal could change.

This was natural.

Fortunately, Nuwa and Alice had been researching the subject of space technology for more than 150 years, and they had achieved countless vital results long ago.

They even produced space technology by themselves. Amongst all the original technologies in Haierfa, the space technology was the one with the highest standard and the most advanced. It was the original technology that generated the most pride in him…With this technology, Haierfa was much more advanced than many higher civilizations.

If the cost factor was ignored, currently Haierfa could create the warp engine, the bi-directional portal, an intergalactic highway… There was a way to compress an area with a radius of hundreds of light-years into a one-year life circle.

Besides, they had the most advanced space leap technology that enabled a spacecraft to arrive somewhere that was 50 light-years away.

The above space technologies were only space technologies developed based on the aspect of science and technology.

After the Heavenly Realm was integrated with earth, the space technologies brought by the Protoss practitioners, such as the space storage ring, conveyance formation method, instant transfer, and other space technologies, represented different ways of using space.

Also, with Chen Jin’s current ability, with just the space technology that was purely based on the material aspect of science and tech, it would be very hard to understand the workings of the portal. He might even damage the stability of the portal and cause some malfunctions.

What if it space technologies based on the aspect of cultivation was added to the mix?

Combining the two technological systems and then deducing the essence of the law of space to achieve better uses, to the extent that he could manipulate the portal… Was there such a possibility?

Of course, the theory was only a theory. In the end, as to whether it would work, it still had to be put into practice.

Chen Jin spent a lot of time on experimentation.

With more trials that were conducted, he achieved some amazing results!

Chen Jin divided the operation of the portal into these categories. From the easiest operation to put into practice to the most difficult: shrinking and enlarging the portal, moving the portal, fixing the portal to one location, and the creation of the portal.

The first was to attempt compressing the portal. He wanted to see if he could carry out some works on the edges of the portal and slightly reduce its size.

He reduced the original diameter of about one meter to about 80 to 90 centimeters.

There was a saying that everything was difficult at the beginning. There had been ten years of research. Chen Jin used a special method to remove a corner of the portal. The area of the portal was suddenly reduced by the size of a one yuan coin.

But this was still very heartening progress!

It was not excessive to describe this as a major milestone.

Because the portal had been shrunk slightly – this was the truth. He made a crucial step.

However, changing the size of the portal should not only be a one-off thing, such as only shrinking but not able to enlarge it. He must be able to shrink and enlarge it as and when he liked

However, in the course of the experiment, he found that it was much harder to enlarge the edges of the portal than to shrink it.

After all, barriers of space were not that easy to manipulate. If each time that the portal was shrunk meant that the barriers would be fused, then when the portal was expanded, it would be equivalent to tearing apart the barriers.
