Chapter 917 916: Escape
Everyone here hopes to stand up again from this wasteland.
Everything is gradually returning to normal, and it's time for Jiang Cheng to leave.
A sense of reluctance pervaded everyone's heart; this extraterrestrial being was finally leaving them. This person from another planet was like a godly existence. Without him, they would still be struggling in the terrifying flames of war. It was he who exterminated the time-burning war flames and brought their lives back on track, guiding them towards a bright future.
Many people from the Sek Planet cried out; their god was about to leave them.
Jiang Cheng's figure slowly disappeared.
So far, Jiang Cheng has solved the two accomplices targeting Water Ball in cooperation with the fighters. His next target is the Sena Planet, which is also a small planet and a henchman of the Ashek Planet.
Jiang Cheng's figure gradually faded from the Sek Planet. This was him moving between planets.
He has a mental coordinate on the Sena Planet; in fact, he has them on many planets. This is the root reason he can move freely in the universe.
In the vast universe, Jiang Cheng's mental coordinates are like lighthouses in the sea. Without a lighthouse, ships navigating the sea can't find a port. Similarly, without mental coordinates, Mr. Jiang would only drift through the universe.
Therefore, whether it's superhumans like Jiang Cheng or various spacecrafts conducting long-distance transmissions in the universe, they all need something similar to a lighthouse, a coordinate.
Without a coordinate, it's simply unimaginable.
At best, one would wander in the universe, consuming days; at worst, exhaust all resources and slowly become cosmic garbage to eat.
There was once such an incident on Water Ball. When humans of Water Ball were exploring the universe on a large scale, one spacecraft, carrying more than ten scientists from various fields and over ten warriors guarding them, set out for a previously coordinate-established Nameless Planet.
Perhaps the pre-established coordinates were incorrect, or maybe certain creatures destroyed the coordinate — on various planets in the universe, there live all types of creatures, and some have intense aggressiveness towards almost all other living beings. In any case, the ship lost its coordinate and, because it was too far away, they couldn't contact the headquarters on Water Ball, thus they could only wander in the universe.
Finally, when the ship's power was nearly exhausted, they chose to land on a nearby planet. Unfortunately, this planet, besides insect-like creatures, had no human-like civilization, and those insects were filled with intense aggression toward other beings.
In such a situation, it is imaginable that ultimately almost all personnel on the spacecraft became prey to those creatures. After witnessing all this, the last pilot left on the spacecraft chose to leave this planet, preferring to die in the universe, becoming a piece of garbage.
After exhausting all his resources, he had to send out dozens of things similar to bottles with messages inside, keeping his experiences, then no one ever knew of his existence again.
Therefore, the importance of coordinates in the universe plays a decisive role. As powerful as superhumans like Jiang Cheng, they must have a coordinate when transmitting through the universe. For these superhumans, they often establish their own mental coordinates.
This mental coordinate is absolutely different from others, carrying strong personal mental characteristics. It is their unique mark, even in such a vast universe, it is unique, definitely impossible to have similar high-degree coordinates exist.
Jiang Cheng's next target is the Sena Planet. After once again confirming his mental coordinate, he began to transmit.
While Jiang Cheng was transmitting in the universe, he was suddenly caught by a sudden electromagnetic storm. The power of this electromagnetic storm was incredibly strong, even someone as powerful as Jiang Cheng found it hard to hold his ground after getting caught. He could only release a protective field to safeguard himself, being swept away by the electromagnetic storm to a far place.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Cheng is like a superhuman. He can travel across the universe, facing all sorts of opponents with calmness, but this doesn't include those powerfully natural phenomena.
Simply put, Jiang Cheng cannot stop an earthquake from occurring, nor can he halt a volcanic eruption just like that now, he also cannot escape from the electromagnetic storm.
After releasing a 360-degree protective field to protect himself from any unexpected injuries, the only thing he can do is to stay clearheaded.
The power of the electromagnetic storm was constantly strengthening and persisting. Within it, almost all his senses were rendered useless.
Finally, after an unknown period, the force of the electromagnetic storm weakened. As he passed by a small planet, Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to escape and get away from the electromagnetic storm.
This is a desolate planet, the scene here might remind people of the Jurassic era on Water Ball many years ago.
Jiang Cheng now stands in a sea of sand, and looking around, other than yellow, there is almost no other color visible.
The sand dunes in the desert are varied in shape, with highs and lows. The streaks of sand resemble wave-like folds stretching from before his eyes to out of sight.
Jiang Cheng attempted to locate his mental coordinate, surprisingly to him, there was no response. He attempted to find it again, but the situation remained the same.
At this point, Jiang Cheng was stumped. It seemed he was too far from any of his mental coordinates to locate one.
Not knowing which corner of the universe this was, Jiang Cheng shrugged. With nowhere to go, he decided to explore this planet a bit.
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to take a step forward, he suddenly sensed a slight movement under his feet. Immediately after, a gigantic, hideous-looking insect swung its claw at his lower body.
Jiang Cheng's figure flickered, evading the insect's attack. Before he could steady himself, two more massive insects emerged from the ground.
Being passive is not Jiang Cheng's style. With a tap of his toe, two pebbles shot towards the two ugly insects.
The result was not as expected: the pebble hitting one insect's back emitted a clink, while the other wasn't so lucky, struck in the head, it oozed copious amounts of disgusting fluid and after struggling a bit, it stopped moving.
The two insects continued to attack Jiang Cheng, and as he turned back, one insect after another, big and small, emerged from beneath the ground.
The sound from the friction among these insects was harsh, and they moved quickly. Jiang Cheng already knew the degree of hardness of their exoskeletons was formidable, those claws did not appear harmless. The two red, round eyes on their heads, similar to some sort of sensors, continuously moved; overall, these insects were full of aggressiveness.
