However, William then explained the method for cultivating this skill. After calculating, Senju realized that with diligent practice, it would only take about ten years to master it. He quickly shook his head and gave up. There was plenty of time; it was just a matter of diligence...

After getting acquainted with the swords for a while, Senju handed the remaining two holy swords to Nigolan. Seeing her incredulous expression, Senju felt a sense of satisfaction. Then, she carefully placed the two holy swords into the secret chamber, completely disregarding the fact that she had taken away more than a dozen holy swords.

Chapter 226 Smuggling into the World

For several days after repairing the Holy Sword, Senju didn't see Chtholly and Esya. He combined the newly acquired magic furnace with the giant robot to create a flying robot. Senju thought about it for a long time and finally decided to call it Gundam.

Senju secretly handed one of the completed machines to Chito, so that she could take Yuri and the others to safety in case of an emergency. As for the other machine, Senju carried it with her and, under the pretext of repairing the Holy Sword, asked Nigoran for more magic furnaces.

Nigolan quickly agreed, and then Senju explained some precautions for the area to be explored, so that she could prepare herself, since it would soon be time for Senju to fulfill his exploration request.

Only then did he realize with a pleasant surprise that his space was habitable. He no longer needed to create experience orbs; he could transport people directly through the space, which relieved him.

However, Senju originally intended to open only the minimum number of doors, but he collected too many, and now he's a little heartbroken to use them all. Nevertheless, he still...

A portal to the corresponding art museum was built.

A day later, Nigolan brought the three of them to the hut on Senju's side. Senju looked around and found Nephren, William, and a green imp. The imp wasn't a child, but a short monster with horns from legend. He seemed to know William very well.

Nephren was still wearing her usual clothes, but now she had a purple cloak over her and a holy sword on her back. The green ghost was wearing goggles and a leather jacket that revealed his strong green muscles. He also had a large bag on his back.

"Hey, hello, you're the Thousand Hands who's here to guide us? You look a lot like William," the Green Ghost said familiarly. "Even though I'm a salvager, I never thought I'd be going to another world. Are you alright there?"

"And who is this?" Thousand Hands looked at William, who introduced him in an annoyed tone, "This Green Ghost is Grik, who tricked me into working here. He loves eating human food, especially spicy meat dishes."

“No, no, no, that’s not true. I don’t like human food,” Greg said, waving his hands frantically as if he had seen hell. “I don’t want to remember what we felt like that night.”

“Ugh,” William next to him also knelt down on the ground, seemingly recalling the cruel night of the past.

The two people next to them asked curiously, and they learned that in the past, when the two ate together, they both thought the other's food was hellish. However, they still wanted to find food that they both agreed on.

After a horrific night, the two experienced a true nightmare and hell. The funniest part was that they drank water and shouted how delicious it was before it all ended.

After hearing the two's embarrassing stories, Senju told the others about the change in method. However, because Senju hadn't explained it clearly before, the others didn't know that the method had changed, and they all nodded in agreement.

Nigolan's chosen team members were Nephren, William, and Grik. Senju initially thought she would go, but Nigolan explained that there were no suitable adults left in the warehouse and she had to stay to take care of the children. Senju then understood her predicament.

Soon, after Senju replenished the soil, the space returned to a size that could accommodate humans. Then he tried to open an entrance next to it.

After watching Senju open a 'door' in the air, the four looked inside. Inside was a field with some trees on one side, and strange cows and ordinary sheep were running around. After being slightly surprised for a while, they went inside.

However, after seeing this scene, William seemed to mutter something like, "Starship, huh?"

"Don't you dare mess with those cows inside," Thousand Hands shouted from outside. Seeing that everyone inside agreed, Thousand Hands closed the door.

“I’m entrusting everything to you,” Nigolan said, bowing deeply to Senju. Senju politely returned the bow. “No need to be so polite. Thank you for your help during this time. Please take good care of Senju and the others while we are away.”

“Of course, I’m a cannibal, entertaining guests is second nature to me,” Nigolan said proudly. Thousand Hands stared at her speechlessly for a while, wondering if he had trusted the wrong person.

"Well, we'll be back soon anyway," Senju said to Nigoran before jumping into the portal. A moment later, Senju found herself standing in a room filled with stone statues.

"It really brings back memories," Senju said with a sigh, looking at the familiar statue. He then released the three people from the space. "How was it inside?"

"Have we arrived yet?" The three of them were a little surprised. They hadn't felt anything inside. Could crossing worlds be that fast?

“Yes, this is our original world,” Thousand Hands said, then looked at the three people’s expressions. Unfortunately, the two of them had the same expression, and the Green Ghost couldn’t understand their expressions either. “Didn’t you feel any discomfort in there?”

“Not at all,” Glick described his experience. “There was no shaking or noise; it was as if we arrived right where we were.”

“Hmm,” Nephren responded softly, then looked up and her face turned slightly red. William looked at the statue curiously for a while before remembering something and covering Nephren’s eyes. “These things are too early for children to see.”

“Really? I think the carving is quite good and could fetch a good price,” Greg observed the surrounding statues. “In my opinion, these are all works by masters and are very precious.”

“Of course, these are some of the most famous sculptures in the world,” Thousand Hands said from the side, “but now is not the time to introduce them. Let’s go outside and take a look. That’s the purpose of our visit.”

After the three agreed, they came out of the house. William then released Nephren, who calmed down. "Those statues are works of art."

“Yes, yes,” William nodded repeatedly as if coaxing a child, then looked at the surrounding walls, “I didn’t expect this place to be made entirely of metal. Just how much material did it take?”

"Well, nobody knows," Senju said, leading the way. Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "William, Nephren, aren't you two cold?"

“No problem,” Nephren replied, while William’s voice trembled slightly. “No problem, it’ll be fine in a bit.”

"It is indeed very cold," said one side.

Glick, however, didn't tremble at all. Instead, he mocked William, "Since you knew it was cold here, you should have prepared more clothes."

“Mind your own business,” William said irritably, then activated his magic. “That’s all.”

Chapter 227 Exploring the City

"I'm so envious. Magic is truly omnipotent," Grik said enviously, though his tone was a bit strange, probably a feeling of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Senju felt the same way and could only put on thicker clothes to keep warm.

However, after Senju led the three to the icy plains outside, they were all stunned. Grik scratched his head, "Is the whole world frozen solid? And besides those streetlights, there are no other buildings around."

“Yes, we’ve always been like this here,” Senju said from the side, then asked, “Do you have any exploration plans?”

“Well, this time we mainly collected some samples to get a better understanding of the environment here,” Greg said, opening his large bag, which contained a bunch of bottles and instruments. Then he took out four palm-sized bronze mirrors. “These are positioning magic items that can show the relative positions and scenery. This little girl will be in charge of exploring the surroundings.”

Next, Greg explained to everyone how to use the props and the precautions. After confirming that everything was working properly, he distributed them to everyone.

“Understood,” Nephren said. After taking it, shimmering butterfly-like wings appeared on her back, and she flew away. Everyone could see a bright spot gradually disappearing into the distance in the mirror.

“It’s so great to be able to fly,” Grik said enviously, looking at Nephren from the flight academy. Then he started collecting the items around him, leaving Senju and William standing there in a daze.

"What's the purpose of my following here?" William asked when he saw that he was not working. While collecting samples, Glick said, "It's okay, as long as you live well here."

“Greek!” William understood the hidden meaning. It seemed that the higher-ups wanted to see if the various races could survive here before conducting a larger-scale exploration.

“Well, don’t complain. This is much safer than exploring on the ground. There are no beast attacks, just collecting some samples,” Greg said nonchalantly, then took out a mirror. “Looks like that little girl has made a discovery.”

With a series of actions, everyone saw Nephren's face appear in the mirror. Then she turned the mirror to one side, where there was a huge crack, and Nephren was flying on it.

“That’s really impressive. That should lead underground,” Glick guessed, looking at the scene in the mirror. “Little girl, come closer.”

"Watch out, there's a monster!" William suddenly shouted. The scene abruptly stopped, then rapidly rose. The two people next to him hurriedly asked, "Where's the monster?"

“It was on that section of the bridge just now, there was a square monster lying there,” William pointed to the mirror. After some manipulation, Greg zoomed in on the image. “Is it this one?”

“That’s not it at all. This is a machine made by people, a kind of tool similar to a doll,” Senju complained from the side. “You should already have something similar over there.”

“Yes, there are some, but the shapes are a little different,” Greg said, then called out to the mirror, “Well, little girl, it’s alright now, you can continue exploring.”

“But it’s all metal there too. Is this world made of metal?” Glick looked at the images constantly appearing in the mirror, looking very troubled. “Looks like we have to transport all the islands over here? That would be too costly.”

“This is just a super-large city built by humans in the past. We are only on one level of it now,” Thousand Hands explained briefly, then said, “But after leaving the city, there is still ordinary soil, mountains and water.”

“I see,” Greg thought for a moment and then spoke to Nephren. “Little girl, don’t worry about what’s down there. Fly upwards. If you encounter any obstacles above, fly outwards and see the whole city.”

As Glick spoke, everyone saw the scene in the mirror rush by. Several tens of minutes later, they saw a scene appear in the mirror.

The sun finally appeared in the mirror, and Greik breathed a sigh of relief. "Little girl, rest there for a while, then fly upwards to see the whole city."

“It’s alright,” came Nephren’s voice from inside. “Flying won’t consume too much magic power. I can continue exploring.”

“If that’s what the little girl says, then there’s nothing we can do. I also hope it can end soon.” Then Greg carefully observed the changes in the scene in the mirror and made notes. Thousand Hands and William sat to the side and started eating.

“It’s hard to imagine that such a magnificent city was created by humans,” William said, eating his barbecue and looking at the reflection in the mirror. “It feels more like it was created by gods.”

“Well, in my opinion, those floating islands are more like that,” Senju remarked, then looked around. “However, with the advancement of technology, humans can indeed do things that only gods could do in the past.”

"Technology? What kind of technology is it? It seems quite different from the technology of the reptiles."

"Not many," Grik asked from the side. Thousand Hands looked puzzled. "Reptiles? But everything here is made without magic; it's all created using human technology."

“It sounds similar to the Reptilian race. They also use machinery and gunpowder to create various airships and weapons,” Glick said, scratching his head. “However, these all require magic.”

“In that case, only part of it is similar,” said Senju, taking out his phone and pulling up a video. “This is a video of a war from the past. You can compare it with the battles in your world.”

"Wow, these aircraft are flying so fast, and the shells are so powerful!" Glick exclaimed, looking at the scene of the bombers inside. "If they fly a few more times, they should be able to take down some of the beasts."

"Are those beasts really that powerful?" Thousand Hands asked curiously. Although he had heard about them many times, he still thought that those beasts were only slightly difficult to deal with.

“Yes, of course. The beasts are very resilient. After you kill them, new individuals will be generated inside. It takes dozens of kills to completely eliminate them. Moreover, the larger they are, the more powerful they are. We salvagers are most afraid of encountering them,” Greg gestured, then remembered something. “Not long ago, a friend of mine was swallowed by a beast and didn’t even get out of the airship.”

“Ah, that’s such a pity,” Senju said apologetically. But Grik didn’t seem to care. “Well, that’s the fate of salvagers. They get to see all sorts of things, but also face different risks.”

Chapter 228 The City Is Mine

"Well, here's a video of a superweapon," Senju then pulled up another video, which was either from a nuclear test or a nuclear attack, showing a giant city being destroyed in one blow.

“This is unbelievably insane. No wonder humanity here has been wiped out,” Greg’s voice trembled after watching the video. “This kind of attack is probably not much different from the legendary forbidden spells.”

“No, even more so than a forbidden spell…” William was about to say something when he heard a sound coming from the mirror next to him.

“Ah, the little girl has sent a signal,” Glick said, taking out his mirror to look at it. It was an aerial view of the city, which looked badly damaged and covered in snow.

Then Nephren turned the mirror around and looked around. Through the clouds, the three of them could see the ocean and land outside the huge city, indicating that the city was built on the coast.

“Alright, that’s fine,” Glick said after looking at it for a while, then gave Nephren instructions, “Go to the ocean and collect some water, and go to the land and collect some soil and rocks as samples. If you find any living organisms, you can also try to collect some.”

“Understood,” Nephren said. The scene in the mirror began to change rapidly, and Grik packed up the samples he had collected. “That’s good. Once the little girl returns, this exploration will be complete.”

"It's really simple," Senju muttered to himself. He had initially thought that some great magician or someone like that would come over, but in the end, only a few soldiers arrived with a rudimentary plan.

“Well, after all, it’s the first exploration. The higher-ups won’t just send people out without knowing the details,” Greg said, scratching his head. “Besides, there are only three slots available. But once we bring this information back, the higher-ups should take it seriously.”

"Forget it, I'm not particularly concerned about this anyway," Senju waved his hand. He wasn't too interested in the plan, even though it would benefit both worlds. For Senju, the biggest benefit was that he could be lazy and not have to spend time reviving Earth.

"By the way, continuing our previous topic, how powerful are forbidden spells?" Senju looked at the two of them curiously, while Grik said with some distress, "I've only heard some legends that some forbidden spells can destroy a country in one blow, but I'm not too sure about their specific power."

“It’s not as powerful as the legends say, but splitting a mountain is still quite easy,” William added from the side. “The so-called curse of national destruction also requires a great price and a lot of time.”

"I see, that sounds impressive," Senju thought for a moment and decided it was best to take over the city as soon as possible to avoid future disputes. "Come with me for a moment, I'm going back."

Although the two were somewhat confused, they still followed Senju back to the portal. Senju looked at the two standing to the side and said, "You two wait here for a moment. I'm going to conduct an experiment."

"Regarding the flow of time on both sides, I will stay there for ten minutes. You two should also pay attention to the time here," Senju explained. Only then did the two realize the problem. "Let's go back and check quickly. If several years have passed over there, it will be troublesome."

"Okay, I'll head over first," Senju said as he returned to the other world, then took out his phone and started timing. He then saw Nigolan standing to the side waiting.

"Is the exploration finished?" Nigolan asked quickly as she saw Senju return. Senju quickly explained to her, then asked, "Were you here the whole time? Or did you only go for a while?"

"No, several hours have passed. I waited here after I finished my work."

"I see," Senju nodded.

However, he still suspected that it was because of Qianhu and the others that it was caused. After thinking for a while, he built a hell portal next to him as a backup.

"Alright, it's time. I'm going over there now," Senju said goodbye to Nigolan after hearing her phone ring, and then returned to this world.

“Hey, how’s it going over there? Ten minutes have passed here too,” Greg said, looking at the timer. William, who was next to him, was also very concerned about the matter.

"It's alright over there. It seems the flow of time is the same," Senju explained the situation of the experiment, and the two of them were relieved.

However, the three of them were getting a little bored waiting for Nephren to return, so Senju led them on a tour of the exhibits. Seemingly because of their similar cultural background, the two of them were thoroughly enjoying the exhibits. Grik kept praising how these works could fetch a good price, which made Senju feel even more pressured.

Thousand Hands then let the two of them tour the place on their own. He decided to go to Hell through the portal, and then build a new portal there to find a suitable place to save time traveling to the mainland.
