Chapter 276: 276: The Law of Foldable Space

As Lin Zhen stated this, Zhang Zhen gave a dismissive look. “Psst, did you go to school? Do you know how small the probability of rolling three sixes with three dice is? Do you understand how tiny the chance is for that to happen consecutively? This isn’t a casino, and you can’t cheat here. I suggest you quit while you’re ahead.”

“I know, the probability is so small it can be ignored, but I still want to try it.” “Go ahead, you won’t give up until you’ve hit rock bottom,” Zhang Zhen said with a smirk.

As Lin Zhen picked up the dice, Qin Huashang told him, “Good luck, I believe in you. If you truly roll three sixes, I’ll let you kiss me.”

Lin Zhen chuckled and rolled the dice. However, he only managed to roll a two, three, and five—a total of ten points.

After finishing his roll, Lin Zhen sighed, “Huh, as expected, it’s impossible for me to roll three sixes.”

Seeing Lin Zhen’s failure, the others showed no surprise. Zhang Zhen even allowed himself a brief chortle of victory, triumphantly taking away the Wind Element Crystal.

Not only did they gain the Wind Element Crystal from killing the Hammer Dragon, there were also various other items collected by the beast.

Among them were a number of strange coins, a few Star Artifacts, and several meteorites.

“Let’s continue gambling!”

After getting the Wind Element Crystal, Zhang Zhen’s confidence soared. He piled all the remaining items on the table with renewed vigor.

Surely enough, Zhang Zhen’s luck was booming. He rolled high numbers for the next few Star Artifacts, with the lowest score being a four, five, and six, keeping everyone else at bay.

“Ha! How the tables have turned! I’m going to strike it rich today.” With a smug grin, Zhang Zhen claimed the two Dark Energy Stones and a top-quality Star Artifact longsword.

The last item on the table was a meteorite.

Frowning slightly, Wu Hai picked it up and inspected it. “I thought it was something valuable. Turns out it’s just a Void Stone, which is merely a material for making Space Rings.”

Zhang Zhen also examined the stone. “It seems a little different. There are two interconnected spaces inside, which is unusual. I wonder how such a thing can exist.”

Wu Hai nodded. “Both spaces are small, only enough for small Space Rings. And carrying two spaces… is it even possible to make it work?”

“Regardless, since it’s a meteorite, maybe it’s useful in some way. Let’s gamble for it.”

The group began rolling dice again. Lin Zhen, who hadn’t won a single round, seemed impatient and was the first to roll. To everyone’s surprise, he scored three sixes on his first attempt.

Seeing this, the other players simply gave up, after all, it wasn’t anything valuable.

Only Zhang Zhen, being still unsatisfied, rolled again, only to score a mere nine points.

“Pfft, what good is a garbage meteorite? All the good stuff is now mine.” Zhang Zhen bragged while holding the top-quality Star Artifact, Wind Element Crystal, and Dark Energy Stone.

Everyone else also had their own gains. Only Lin Zhen ended up with a useless

meteorite. Wu Hai came over and clapped Lin Zhen on the shoulder. “Don’t be disappointed, finding a Crystal here isn’t that difficult. As long as you put your heart into it, you’ll be able to gain something.”

Lin Zhen gave a slight smile. “Don’t worry, I’m not taking it to heart.”

Afterwards, the team continued on their journey. Wu Hai pulled out a walkie-talkie, communicating with someone unknown.

There was no cell phone signal in the Ancient God City, but Wu Hai’s walkie-talkie could interact with the other teams within the city. Apparently, several teams were planning to explore the Tyrannosaurus Nest in the next few days, as rumors had it that there was something valuable there. Later that night, the group set up camp in the dense forest.

Once in his tent, Lin Zhen pulled out the meteorite.

Looking at it, he felt a sense of anticipation deep inside.

“Nested Life Dark Nether Stone, I didn’t expect to find one here. Its appearance is extremely beneficial to me!”

For the past few days, Lin Zhen had been feeling uneasy, sensing imminent danger.

At this point, the only possible threat to Lin Zhen was a Star Realm Expert. It was likely that Li Yao was on his tail.

Lin Zhen entered the Ancient God City wearing a mask, so Li Yao couldn’t find him instantly. But it was only a matter of time.

He couldn’t overly trust his teammates either. Lin Zhen’s own power was his most trusted ally.

Having seen the spoils from the Hammer Dragon, Lin Zhen had set his sights on this Nested Life meteorite. He even gave up the Wind Element Crystal he needed in order to avoid arousing suspicion from others. After all, it’s not hard to find an energy crystal in the Ancient God City, but this kind of Nested Life meteorite is practically unique.

This stone must’ve been brought in by a member of the Red Rose crew, most likely as a collector’s item, and was collected by the Hammer Dragon.

Sensing the interior of the meteorite with Spiritual Power, he confirmed the two small spaces inside that were overlapping yet separate.

This kind of anomaly is extremely rare, like parallel spaces, a result of two Void Stones from different spaces coming into contact.

Originally, Void Stones were already quite scarce. The likelihood of two from different spaces meeting was billions of times smaller than winning the lottery.

If this thing fell into the hands of others, it would be of no use, because without the control over Spatial Power, it would be nothing more than junk.

But in Lin Zhen’s hands, it would become a priceless treasure!

“Two different spaces intertwining yet not mingling, causing bizarre phenomena to form inside the meteorite, as long as I can use my Spiritual Power to fuse the two spaces, I could learn a miraculous ability, Spatial Folding! ”

This was something Lin Zhen had heard of in his previous life among the stars. When the extraterrestrial civilizations invaded, a powerful invader stood out among the stars for possessing this miraculous power, Spatial Folding.

By utilizing the idea of space-time intersections between two spaces, a miniature space viable for dwelling could be created within the existing world.

Just like a parallel world, although it’s right beside you, you can’t see, hear, or touch it.

Lin Zhen, who still lacks the strength to confront the Star Realm Expert, could greatly benefit from this technique. With Spatial Folding, he could hide anywhere without being discovered by others.

Moreover, when one has a profound understanding of Spatial Power, they could even use super combat techniques like spatial slicing or spatial collapse. Of course, that’s still a long way away for Lin Zhen.

Because he has absorbed the Spatial Star Crystal, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to learn Spatial Folding. His past love for various anecdotes and trivia would come in handy now.

After setting up the tent, Lin Zhen first placed the meteorite in front of his Dantian, enveloped it with his Spiritual Power, and infused his power into the meteorite.

With his spiritual force seeping in, Lin Zhen immediately entered a space.

The space was not large, but strange distortions were occurring, similar to the ripples created when paint entered water. The multicolored distortions seemed to have no discernable pattern.

“This really is like a mysterious mirror world—I can feel that its spatial power is resonating with my own.”

“But how can I incorporate both spaces into my body?”

Lin Zhen started to release his mental power. This space was small enough for his mental power to easily envelop, but it was the constraints of the other space that prevented Lin Zhen from absorbing this space into his Dantian.

After trying for a while, Lin Zhen gave up and infused his mental power into the other space.

This space was roughly the same size as the other and was similarly distorting mysteriously, visible to Lin Zhen but eluding his grasp.

Releasing his Spatial Power within his body, Lin Zhen was at ease in each space, easily resonating Spatial Power, but he was unable to resonate in both spaces at the same time.

After spending three to four hours repeatedly attempting and failing, Lin Zhen temporarily halted his futile efforts.

“The two spaces are connected, accessible but not merging. Unless there are two of me or two spiritual powers infiltrating at the same time, but how is that possible?”

Lin Zhen gave a bitter smile, seeming a bit presumptuous.

“That’s it! Dark Star!”

Just as he was about to give up, his eyes suddenly brightened!

“I can anchor my spiritual power in the Dantian, and since the Dark Star is something that shouldn’t exist in the first place, I can also anchor my mental power upon the Dark Star. If one stream of mental power enters one space and then instantly transfers to the Dark Star, the space transition requires an infinitesimal amount of time. As long as I’m fast enough, I might succeed!”

Immediately, Lin Zhen acted upon his plan, infusing one stream of mental power into the Dark Star and then into one of the spaces.

The withdrawal of mental force does not mean it will immediately dissipate. It would take approximately one-thousandth of a second to disperse. What Lin Zhen needed to do was to return his mental focus to the Dark Star within that one- thousandth of a second and then insert the mental power inside the Dark Star into the other space.

If he could complete this task within one-thousandth of a second, he would have the opportunity to resonate within both spaces simultaneously.

“Swoosh!”

Mental force withdrawn, Dark Star power infused.

When the mental force from within the Dark Star entered the second space, the power in the first space had already disappeared.

“It doesn’t work, it’s still too slow. The time consumed was around one-fiftieth of a second.”

“I need to familiarize myself with the steps, compress the time. I must complete it within one-thousandth of a second.”

Lin Zhen reviewed all the details in his mind and then began his second attempt.

“Swoosh!”

Mental force withdrawn, Dark Star power infused.

Still a failure, but what Lin Zhen cared about was the time he took.

This time, it took roughly one-eightieth of a second.

“That’s some progress. I feel that there’s still a lot of room for improvement. I have to think very carefully to make a significant improvement.”

After spending the whole night trying and attempting, Lin Zhen managed to reduce his time to one-three hundred and twentieth of a second just before dawn!
