Chapter 738: Gu Ningxuan’s Otherworld Journey [Welcome Home]

"If it succeeds, you might be able to return, but there’s only one chance, and the possibility of failure exists... The consequence of failure, I think you understand it." Marshal Gu, already seventy-five years old, looked at him earnestly, "Are you willing to take the gamble?"

A gamble? Should I gamble? If I succeed, I can go home; if I fail, I’ll perish in the Yellow Springs! After thinking for a few minutes, Gu Ningxuan said firmly, "There’s nothing without risk, no matter the outcome, I must give it a try!"

Marshal Gu looked at him deeply and said, "Since this is your choice, then don’t regret it. I wish you success!"

This so-called method to return home was actually discovered by accident and doesn’t have very precise assurance. Over the years, the Alliance has been committed to the research of space technology. Although progress has been slow, there have been quite a few unexpected discoveries.

One of the by-products of the research is the method for Gu Ningxuan to return home. Five years ago, when Gu Ningxuan first arrived in this plane, Alliance scientists monitored the cosmic turbulence black hole and discovered a very peculiar space coordinate! At the time, this wasn’t given much attention, but as Gu Ningxuan wanted to return, this overlooked detail naturally came to light.

Then came the space technology research of recent years, whereby scientists occasionally discovered some very strange coordinates. According to the theory of planes, the coordinates of the cosmic turbulence black hole and those peculiar coordinates turned out to be in the same plane!

This became the main theoretical basis for Gu Ningxuan’s journey home! The Alliance’s space technology isn’t very powerful, but if the coordinates of two places can be confirmed, supplemented by magnifying space energy countless times, there’s a chance to temporarily break the plane barrier and transmit Gu Ningxuan back!

However, this is only theory, and the actual situation is uncertain, but one can imagine the success rate isn’t high. Since it is a plane barrier, surely it isn’t something general energy can break through! No one knows how much energy needs to be concentrated to break through the barrier!

Initially, scientists were at their wit’s end over this problem, repeatedly calculating and performing virtual drills. However, they inadvertently discovered that the peculiar coordinate was direct from that plane to here!

This means that when that coordinate’s information is in a connecting state, a small breach would appear in the barrier between the two planes. As long as one captures the time segment when they are connected, the success rate can be greatly enhanced!

Scientists were ecstatic about this discovery. Cross-plane transmission, this is undoubtedly a monumental feat! Moreover, it’s a great pioneering achievement unprecedented and without successors! However, unfortunately, the time when that plane’s peculiar coordinate appears is very irregular, with varying durations, almost with no pattern to follow, and no one knows when it might never appear again!

Therefore, what lies before Gu Ningxuan is a road with an unseen path ahead and no way back.

Since he has decided to go home, and at all costs, it’s best to set off as soon as possible. Scientists specifically responsible for this secret research began monitoring day and night, notifying Gu Ningxuan immediately once that peculiar coordinate appeared!

Gu Ningxuan also knew, regardless of success or failure, he would bid farewell to everyone in this plane. After some thought, he decided to say goodbye to those he knew. After all, having known them for five years, leaving unannounced would be a bit of a regret, wouldn’t it?

"There’s no need to say goodbye to me; just live well." Gu Qidong looked at Gu Ningxuan, increasingly feeling that his third son should have been a pair of twin boys. Seeing the other about to leave, how could he put his mind at ease?

Marshal Gu’s mother said, "If there’s a chance, send me two photos of your grandson. To this day, I haven’t even been a grandmother yet."

Gu Ningyi said, "A Gu man can die on the battlefield, but never on the way home; it’s disgraceful, and we can’t afford to lose face like that."

Upon hearing of his affairs, Gu Ningzhi merely furrowed his brows slightly, "Remember, don’t give up on what should be fought for. In the face of the Insect Race, humans don’t have much time left, so why leave regrets for yourself? Also, take care of yourself; stay alive, don’t die."

Among everyone, Marshal Gu’s words were what most shocked Gu Ningxuan, "I’m seventy-five this year, and life hasn’t reached even one-fifth of its five hundred years. No matter how unsatisfactory, you should live longer than I. Another Alliance might need you a lot. Besides, that woman of yours seems to carry many secrets. If there’s a chance, I’d like to see for myself."
