The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1118: Space Rift

Around Ji You, a mix of emotions—touching, lamenting, complex, happy, joy... These spiritual fluctuations were active, Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow, saying, "You can ask them if I’m right?"

Is there even a need to ask?

The entire spiritual world, the six spiritual threads were almost boiling, Ji You raised her hand, rubbed her temples, and sighed, "Teacher, it’s not that I’m deliberately starving them, it’s just... I’m really... useless, I can’t afford to keep them."

As the words landed, Ji You lowered her lids, hiding the self-blame and distress in her eyes, only revealing just a trace, perfectly displayed in front of Mu Jianling.

—So, there will be Cloud Mist Tea, right?

—Worst comes to worst, a Butterfly Honey Bean?

...

Mu Jianling seemed like a blind person, ignoring Ji You’s performance, coldly saying, "Feed your own pets, your own threads, find a way to feed them, I don’t care."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You’s smile at the corner of her mouth stiffened.

second later.

Ji You adjusted her expression, asked, "Teacher, you said the ticket for this place is so magical, it not only has Natural Soul Artifacts, but there might also be special items, then... what kind of place is it?"

She was really curious now.

Moreover, these things clearly aren’t public information. It’s obvious that one needs to reach certain levels to possibly know.

Mu Jianling heard Ji You’s inquiry, did not answer, her expression cold, only slightly raised her head, glancing at the star clouds above...

Silence.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Ji You pursed her lips, solemnly said, "Teacher, I want to know."

Ji You didn’t particularly care about probing secrets to satisfy her curiosity, she became persistent in wanting to know because she wanted to gain more information in advance, gain more chips, to face the challenges of entering that mysterious place.

Natural Soul Artifact...

Special items...

Not only can they save Little Golden Dragon, but also fatten her six spiritual threads... These temptations were enough to make Ji You venture.

In the confined space.

Xiao You also heavily reminded Ji You: [Sis, we need to find a way to save the sky and also make Sisi stronger... This place, we must go.]

After Ji You finished speaking, in a place where no one could see, her clenched palms were tightly gripping.

After waiting for less than 2 minutes, as Ji You thought she surely wouldn’t get an answer, suddenly, she heard Mu Jianling speak: "That place is not currently included in the Alliance or even the world map, because, it’s a spatial rift formed by squeezed and deformed space."

Ji You’s heart was shocked: "Space Rift?"

Mu Jianling coldly said, "It’s just a very hidden space rift. But it doesn’t appear at any time and only comes out in a rather specific environment or atmosphere, the last occurrence was 100 years ago."

Ji You: "!!!"

years ago...

This number doesn’t sound much, but if you make a slightly unfavorable assumption, then... then it’s very unpleasant.

Beast Tide—

But every 100 years, a Beast Tide, a very fixed term, it’s even more punctual than a girl’s monthly visit.

Ji You couldn’t help but say, "Teacher, is it exactly one hundred years, or about a hundred years?"

Mu Jianling glanced at Ji You, said, "Exactly."

Ji You: "!!!"

Ji You said, "So, its appearance is actually related to the Beast Tide?"

Mu Jianling neither nodded nor shook her head, but continued to gaze at the starry sky, saying, "With humanity’s current technology research, it’s temporarily unclear if it’s related to the Beast Tide. But its opening time each time is 2 or 3 years earlier than the Beast Tide, so I lean towards it having a direct influence, or connection with the Beast Tide eruption."

This time, Ji You really opened her eyes, a space rift, and it actually exists, just hearing about it sounds fantastical. Ji You couldn’t help but suspect if her crossing was also due to a space rift?

But!

The timing doesn’t match.

Teacher Mu just said this space rift closed about 100 years ago, meaning it will only automatically open again recently... Given this, her crossing shouldn’t be much related to it.

Ji You asked, "Teacher... This space rift, you said it’s a fault, one side connects with the 1-8 star systems governed by humans. What does the other side connect with?"

Could it really be aliens? Alien civilization?

Or another unknown world?

Mu Jianling looked at Ji You, saying, "It connects to another dimensional space."

Ji You: "!!!"

All day long, Ji You’s heart had been shocked many times, but none made Ji You’s entire soul tremble!

Another dimension?

Could it be a four-dimensional space? Five-dimensional space? Or...

Mu Jianling suddenly raised her hand, knocked on Ji You’s head, Ji You opened her mouth in surprise, big enough to fit an egg, Mu Jianling said, "Close your mouth, wipe your drool."

Ji You raised her hand, wiped her mouth corner haphazardly, questioned, "Teacher... What you said just now, is it really true? Is it really connected to another dimension?"

Mu Jianling looked at her coldly, disdainful to answer again.

Ji You clenched her fist, remembered a question, asked, "Teacher, have you entered this space rift?"

Mu Jianling shook her head, "No."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You almost choked to death.

So, Ji You hummed a few times, muttering, "You say you’re the strongest in the Universe, bar none, yet you haven’t even gone to such a cool mysterious place..."

Mu Jianling coolly said, "Itchy mouth?"

Ji You hurriedly shook her head, "No such thing, absolutely not."

Mu Jianling kicked over, saying, "I keep you here to tell you this is very important, be serious, if you lose that ticket, see if I don’t beat you to death."

Ji You hurriedly dodged, but couldn’t dodge, took a solid kick from Teacher Mu, holding her behind, moved a few steps away, said, "Teacher, if there’s no problem, I’ll go first then."

"Prepare for the competition seriously." Mu Jianling finished speaking, hummed, simply burst out one word: "Scram."

Ji You quickly rolled away.

After leaving the training room, the playful smile on Ji You’s face vanished instantly, a hint of worry crossed her face: On the vast territory of the Alliance, hidden talents lurk... Can she really smoothly acquire that entry ticket?

If it were really easy, Teacher Mu Jianling wouldn’t specifically call her out, asking her to prepare well. Obviously, not only is getting the entry ticket difficult, but entering that space rift after will certainly be extremely challenging and perilous.
