Chapter 523 Universe Map
When Jonathan got to that point, Rhiannon understood the ins and outs of the situation. Later, while Mona and Roland were locked in an increasingly fierce battle, Jonathan took advantage of the stalemate. He emerged from the storage ring and communicated with Rhiannon through his spiritual sense, asking her to hide in the storage ring as well.
Jonathan quickly used his mana to seize the storage ring where Rhiannon was located. Then, he went on to grab Astro Scepter. After that, he conjured icebreaker and made his escape!
The design and arrangement of everything were so ingeniously precise that even the slightest mistake could lead to irreversible consequences! But Jonathan managed to pull it off!
Rhiannon couldn't help but say, "How dare you invite Lynn over as well? Aren't you afraid of making a mistake, that they might team up and kill you first?"
Jonathan said, "Things have already gone awry. My initial plan was to explain the pros and cons to Lynn and persuade her to join me in taking down Roland. There's a crucial point here, and that's Roland's desire to monopolize all the treasures, which would prevent everyone from gaining any benefit. So, he was bound to become Lynn's enemy. What I didn't expect was that Roland wouldn't even give me a chance to speak. He tried to kill me right off the bat. I had no choice but to go with the flow and try to beat him at his own game."
At that point, Rhiannon couldn't help but feel deeply impressed by Jonathan.
"Where are we going now?" Rhiannon asked Jonathan.
Jonathan said, "First, let's find a safe place. Then, I need to thoroughly study Astro Scepter. Once we
have the strength to counter Lynn and Roland, we won't need to hide anymore."
Rhiannon was a bit worried, saying, "I wonder if they will cause trouble for the Moon Shadow Palace!"
Jonathan said, "Don't worry. Lynn is definitely tangled up with Roland right now. They simply don't have the time to cause trouble for the Moon Shadow Palace."
Rhiannon nodded, but her worried expression was still apparent in her beautiful countenance.
Afterward, Jonathan and Rhiannon traveled several hundred miles together.
Only after that did Jonathan dare to surface from the sea.
He was genuinely terrified of Lynn and Roland, their two formidable enemies. Those two powerful individuals, with such headstrong personalities, were played by me. They must be absolutely seething, wishing they could tear me into a thousand pieces.
The moment icebreaker burst out of the sea, Jonathan put it away.
He and Rhiannon inevitably got wet. Rhiannon was drenched, her palace dress clinging to her body, showcasing her exquisite figure beautifully.
Moreover, one could faintly see her fair thighs.
Nevertheless, Jonathan had no interest in admiring her beauty at that moment. His fascination was entirely captivated by Astro Scepter.
At that moment, dawn had not yet arrived, and their surroundings were pitch-black.
Jonathan and Rhiannon flew toward the north. Along the way, Jonathan used his light elements to dry their wet clothes. Before long, their clothes were completely dried.
The flight covered approximately two hundred miles.
Jonathan found another uninhabited island once again.
The two of them descended, once again finding a good spot in the forest to set up their tent.
Afterward, Jonathan took out Astro Scepter.
At that moment, Astro Scepter was entirely black, and the only difference was that the tip of the scepter was adorned with a sapphire!
Previously, the electricity in the magic formation was emitted through that sapphire.
As Jonathan was preparing to explore Astro Scepter with chaotic energy, a thought suddenly struck him. He turned to Rhiannon and said, "That's right, I did promise you before. Good things should be left to you, so this Astro Scepter should be yours!"
After he finished speaking, he handed it over to Rhiannon.
Rhiannon was slightly taken aback. She glanced at Jonathan and asked, "Are you seriously willing to hand this to me?"
Jonathan was feeling utterly reluctant, but he said, "Of course I can't bear it, but I must keep my word!"
Rhiannon gave a slight smile and said, "All right. Enough with the pretense. You know I won't take this Astro Scepter." She paused, then added, "Astro Scepter can only show its true power in your hands. Giving it to me would only bring disaster!"
On that matter, Rhiannon was indeed not wrong.
When such a powerful magic item appeared, who could resist coveting it?
Even if Rhiannon managed to get her hands on that magic item, she would likely still be unable to withstand those formidable powerhouses. Once her enemies were overcome by greed, it could spell her doom.
Upon reflection, Jonathan realized that was the truth. In fact, he was merely being polite with Rhiannon by offering her the scepter.
He knew Rhiannon would not want it.
At that moment, he said, "All right. I'll take it for now, then. If, in the future, I manage to rescue my companions and prepare to return to the main world, I will pass on Astro Scepter and some techniques to you. I'll make sure you can master Astro Scepter."
Rhiannon's eyes lit up, finding the offer quite tempting. She also knew that Jonathan didn't have much interest in Moranta.
Subsequently, Jonathan ceased to speak further. He began to channel chaotic energy into Astro Scepter.
Soon, Jonathan had a clear understanding of the basic structure of the scepter.
The staff of the scepter was forged from a sturdy meteorite from outer space, incredibly pure and indestructible. Chaotic energy was able to move within it as freely as a fish swims in water, facing no constraints.
That made Jonathan somewhat puzzled. If Astro Scepter was really that simple, would it be considered a god-defying divine weapon?
Immediately, Jonathan understood. He guessed that all the mysteries were likely contained within that single sapphire.
Therefore, Jonathan was off to unravel the mysteries of the sapphire.
The moment chaotic energy seeped into the sapphire, Jonathan felt a sudden clarity before him.
He closed his eyes, immersing himself fully in the experience. What he felt from the chaotic energy was a vast, profound universe unfolding before him.
Inside, there were endless stars and planets!
Chaotic energy roamed within, and all the stars and planets had been miniaturized. It was as if it was a world map!
A sense of wonder and peculiarity filled Jonathan's heart. He continued to propel his chaotic energy forward, eventually arriving in front of a shimmering planet.
The planet was quite small, and he channeled his chaotic energy into the planet.
In an instant, a surge of information flooded into the chaotic energy, simultaneously transmitting into Jonathan's mind.
Jonathan did not know what the planet was called, but he could sense that asteroid was actually twice the size of Earth, filled entirely with vast, boundless seawater. The planet was an endless expanse of water without a single piece of land in sight!
Moreover, there was no air here. The space was filled with a kind of ozone that humans couldn't tolerate!
Meanwhile, Jonathan wanted to let his chaotic energy seep into the planet, to search in the waters, to see if there were any living creatures!
However, as soon as his chaotic energy entered, it instantly became clear again, as if he had truly arrived on this planet. The unfortunate part was that the chaotic energy was a full hundred thousand miles away from the sea surface, making it impossible to fly over quickly.
With that, Jonathan had no choice but to abandon that idea. He had far too many important matters to attend to and simply didn't have the time to explore that trivial issue.
Jonathan visited several other planets in succession, only to find that they were either vast barren
lands or completely covered by oceans, with not a single one having an atmosphere. They were utterly unsuitable for human habitation, and no signs of any living creatures were found.
At that moment, Jonathan truly wished to find the existence of Earth among those countless stars and planets.
But that is also a massive feat. There were just too many planets, not to mention the Milky Way, the Solar System, and so on.
Even though the planets had been downsized there, if one really wanted to find Earth in that place, it might take years to locate it.
The feeling Jonathan had at that moment was too wonderful. It was as if he had entered a simulated real-life game.
Subsequently, Jonathan left the sapphire.
He needed to calm his mind, then analyze what exactly was going on inside.
During that time, Rhiannon did not disturb Jonathan either.
Jonathan thought. The situation within this sapphire should not be virtual. Instead, it's a series of gateway doors, altering the rules and gathering all the information of the entire universe into the sapphire. In this way, every planet in there is a portal to the corresponding planet! If I wish to return to the main world, I can find Earth right here.
However, Jonathan understood in his heart that even if he found it, it would be useless. Because only
the primordial spirit could fly into it. Once his primordial spirit entered the main world, where there was no power of the elements, it would immediately vanish like smoke in thin air.
Therefore, that idea was simply not going to work. Besides, Earth was just too hard to find. So, is the sapphire merely a world of information about the universe? That's not right! It's merely cosmic information, so how should I change the rules? How can I defeat Lynn? This is highly unlikely! Moreover, I clearly saw with my own eyes that day in Pollerton Tomb when Astro Scepter unleashed an extraordinary power. I must not have fully grasped the mysteries of Astro Scepter!
At that moment, Jonathan focused his mind once again. He used his chaotic energy to enter into the sapphire.
The same universe map appeared.
Jonathan's chaotic energy meandered within. He passed through the Milky Way, gazing upon the Solar System and beyond. However, he never discerned any difference.
Subsequently, Jonathan exited the universe map.
This time, Jonathan no longer blindly sought out. He carefully examined Astro Scepter!
Soon after, he was struck by a sudden inspiration and began to gently caress the sapphire with his hand.
The sapphire radiated a sense of coolness, as smooth as silk.
Jonathan closed his eyes once again. Then, the sapphire began to reveal its magic.
His mind instantly plunged into the universe map. Then, the layers of the universe map receded to both sides, ebbing away like the tide. Soon, the Earth appeared in Jonathan's cerebral domain.
The entire Earth existed within Jonathan's mind! Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
That was truly wonderful!
Perhaps it should be said that Jonathan's cerebral domain was in the universe map.
Subsequently, Jonathan's train of thought was continually drawn into Earth.
Earth truly differed greatly from other planets. It teemed with vibrant life.
The moment Jonathan's thoughts penetrated, he immediately felt the layers of a dense and intricate information field.
The entire Earth was enveloped by that information field. Those information fields were the molecules of time and space, the rules of space, the residual thoughts of humans and animals, and the layered information fields of various spaces from ancient times to the present.
When visiting the previous planets, all Jonathan experienced was a sense of purity.
However, on Earth, what he experienced was the accumulation of information so precise it reached an extreme, much like a highly advanced computer, not to mention the kind with a gigantic mainframe!
If the entire universe, every planet, were a computer, then could Earth be the central processing unit? Suddenly, such a thought popped into Jonathan's mind.
