Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 366: World Ring

Chen Chuan's gaze fell, and he picked up the agreement, flipping through its contents. It was filled with confidentiality clauses regarding the content of their conversation.

However, the restrictions weren't absolute. Immediate family members of the signatory could be informed to a Limit, depending on the specific circumstances, but they would also need to sign a confidentiality agreement, with the number of people limited to two.

The articles were extensive, taking various aspects into consideration.

Furthermore, looking at the almost imperceptible patterns at the bottom of the agreement, he suspected that some formal Secret Ritual had been employed.

With such constraints in place, it couldn't be a simple matter. It must involve the true secrets hidden beneath Central City.

He had reached this point, entering Central City in a shorter time than others, partly to seize any potential opportunities.

Now, the information hidden behind the scenes was within reach. The door was right in front of him, and all he had to do was push it open. Of course, he wouldn't miss it.

Therefore, without hesitation, he placed the agreement down, picked up a pen from the side, and signed his name.

In that instant, he felt...

He ignored it and looked up at the two people across from him.

Seeing that Chen Chuan had signed the agreement, the woman stepped forward to pick it up. She first scanned it with a Boundary Token, as if recording it, and then handed it to Commissioner Liang .

Commissioner Liang took it and examined it before returning it to her. The woman walked to the side and sealed the document in a pre-prepared metal box.

Commissioner Liang looked at Chen Chuan , his expression becoming serious. "Executive Officer Chen, since you have chosen to sign the agreement, please listen carefully to what I am about to tell you."

He paused for a moment, "The world we live in is brewing a massive crisis..." He said slowly, "Another world is gradually approaching us."

Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Another world?"

Commissioner Liang nodded, "Yes, another world. Our understanding of that place can only be summarized as "world' for now. In fact, although we have been fighting against it for a long time, our understanding is still very limited.

And now, the two worlds are being attracted and entangled with each other, and are slowly approaching."

At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly thought of something, right when he achieved...

He pondered for a moment, then looked up, "Commissioner Liang , what is this "world' like? And when did it begin to approach our world?"

Commissioner Liang : "In fact, this world didn't suddenly appear there. Since ancient times, it has had contact with us more than once."

"More than once?"

"Yes, for example, the two worlds are like two adjacent entities, revolving around each other and attracting each other. Sometimes the distance between us is relatively far, and sometimes it is relatively close. When it is far, its Influence on us is weaker, but when it is close, the Influence is deeper."

Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice: "The rise and fall of dynasties in old times, and the rise and fall of civilizations, are closely related to the Influence of this world on us.

When it is approaching, we call it a "period of change', and when it is moving away, we call it a "period of quiescence'.

But I don't know what happened to change this situation. Now this world is getting closer and closer to us, and the "period of change' is being infinitely prolonged, as if there is no end in sight..."

At this point, his voice became extremely slow and heavy: "According to our observations, if this continues, one day, this world may completely merge with ours.

We don't know what will happen then, but we can be sure that it will be an unprecedented crisis, so we have tentatively named it... Great Boom."

"Great Boom..."

Chen Chuan's heart trembled slightly. From this name alone, he could imagine what the scene would be like. He changed his mind and asked, "Commissioner Liang , can I ask how long until the Great Boom arrives?"

Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice: "It is difficult for us to give an accurate time, but at least two hundred years ago, it had already exceeded the limit of the period of change recorded in history.

Based on our long-term observations and inferences, if nothing is done, it could be as short as two or three years, or as long as ten or twenty years, depending on our own efforts."

Chen Chuan : "Commissioner Liang means that we can find a way to save this situation?"

"Crisis also brings opportunities." Commissioner Liang : "The intersection with that world has also caused unprecedented changes in our world.

The empires of old times invested a lot of resources in exploring and researching the world's intersection in order to maintain their rule, but they did not expect that this would have another effect. The transformation took place in just over a hundred years.

In the past hundred years, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. The emergence of high-energy algae and the outbreak of the Algae Oil revolution have changed the landscape again and again. Several empires that had ruled the world for hundreds or even thousands of years have collapsed one after another, and those research results have also been received by the countries that were subsequently established.

Immediately following was the arrival of the new era, and the countries and companies that overthrew the old empires established the Great Alliance.

In order to deal with the impending crisis, we concentrated resources to build cities and defense points at the connection and leakage points of the two worlds, in order to capture the arrival of the world's intersection."

As Commissioner Liang's voice spoke, a map of the world appeared around him and on the wide curved wall, with the outlines of various continents clearly visible, and then bright spots appeared on it, spreading all over the world.

"That is Central City, the anchor point of the two worlds, and also the front line and fortress of resistance, and Jibeidiao Central City, where we are standing now, is one of them."

Chen Chuan looked at the bright spots displayed on the map. Da Shun Republic can be said to be one pole of the world, occupying more than one-fifth of the world's Central City, which also matches the country's volume.

Commissioner Liang turned around at this time and looked at those bright spots, seemingly regretting: "But unfortunately, the Great Alliance only lasted for less than thirty years before it disintegrated, leaving only a nominal existence, just a platform used to maintain communication between countries and large companies."

Chen Chuan looked at it for a while before asking again: "What is that world like?"

Commissioner Liang : "No one knows exactly. The things there are not the same as the material world we are usually accustomed to. Well, do you know about Anomaly events?"

Chen Chuan : "I know." The official Anomaly events include Supernatural Entities, and things that Secret Rituals leverage. These are simply classified as one type.

Commissioner Liang : "Some of them are caused by the Influence of the two worlds, and some are the expression of that world. This may help you understand what the other side looks like."

Chen Chuan thought for a while, slightly understanding.

Commissioner Liang's voice was a little heavy: "I said just now that our understanding of that world is still not sufficient so far. Perhaps when the Great Boom comes, we will be able to understand it more deeply, but I really don't want to see that day come."

The surroundings became quiet, and none of the three people spoke at this moment. Only the bright spots on the map were still flashing.

After a while, Commissioner Liang turned around, "Okay, now Executive Officer Chen has understood the specific situation, so next is the constraints and responsibilities that you, or your group, will be subject to."

His expression became extremely serious: "As that world approaches, an intermediate zone has now been created at the intersection of the two worlds, which can also be regarded as a transition boundary. Perhaps because of mutual Influence, the material world will become particularly loose and weak there.

Based on long-term observations, we have confirmed that by weakening the erosion from the other side, we can delay the arrival of the Great Boom to a certain extent, and technological advancements have also given us more ways to fight against the unprecedented changes that are about to come.

Now we have used technology to build a barrier there, called the "World Ring', and some people also call it the "World Curtain', to delay the arrival of the Great Boom and block certain existences from the other world.

But this barrier is not tight, and the collision of the worlds is constantly squeezing it, and some things from the other side will occasionally seep in.

"So first of all,

At the same time, Martial Artist like you who have signed the agreement and know the truth need to accept conscription when the country needs it. What you need to do specifically depends on the organization and institution you work for."

He looked at Chen Chuan , who was thinking, and reminded: "I need to tell you that at your Limit, some special CultivationDrugs cannot be found outside. Only Martial Artist who participate in and obey the World Ring defense system, and have made certain achievements and contributions, will be allowed to provide them.

So we don't force every Martial Artist to actively participate, so you should consider what to do specifically."

After a slight pause, he said again: "Okay, what needs to be informed to Executive Officer Chen has been informed. Our conversation today ends here.

Executive Officer Chen, you can go back."

The woman walked up and put on a polite smile, "Executive Officer Chen, please come this way."

Chen Chuan glanced again at the world presented around him, and finally looked at Commissioner Liang , ": "May I ask your identity?"

Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice: "Da Shun Republic Ministry of Defense Special Envoy World Ring Representative, Jibeidiao Central City Commissioner, Liang Guanghai ."
