The Geared Immortal

Chapter 784

(Unedited)

…

Since he was able to make it in the top 20 and is already eligible to enter the Heaven and Earth Opening enter race tournament, Shin Jiao did not want to bother with anything else and decided to return and improve the transmission ability of the broadcasting station.

His plan is to make it possible for the broadcast to reach even further distance. Ever since he discovers the use of the universe's energy, he was able to tap into its ability to send data in the air using electromagnetic waves and the natural energy itself within the planet's atmosphere.

So far, he was able to discover that the signal was able to reach even the farthest territory of the human race. This would be impossible on earth, but in this world, for some reason, the data would flow seamlessly and without interference even after reaching a long distance.

As Shin Jiao began thinking in his mind he walks out of his room and saw the two women sprawled on the sofa while watching the TV screen.

When they heard the door opening, they suddenly showed a surprised look on their faces.

"You… you're back!" Luna suddenly jumps out as she pointed at Shin Jiao and then shifted her gaze on the screen.

She showed a hint of suspicion as she eyed Shin Jiao.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shin Jiao asked while showing a strange look at Luna.

"Master Shin, where have you gone to?" Maga, on the other hand, just plastered a welcoming smile on her beautiful face.

Then suddenly she showed a confused expression as she felt something is amiss with Shin Jiao's body, or rather inside of him.

"Master Shin… You… your life span…" she muttered with a worried expression.

"Why? What's wrong?" Shin Jiao asked with a doubtful look.

"Your lifespan seems to have been shortened…" she said as she unconsciously extended her hand towards his chest.

Maga Luan wanted to check Shin Jiao's condition by touching him, but then she suddenly discovers her action and stopped herself. She did not want Master Shin to think that she is taking advantage of him. She just stops and showed a blush on her face.

"Hey, hey… what is happening? What are you saying about lifespan? You mean Shin Jiao's lifespan has been shortened?" Luna suddenly interrupted as she worried held Shin Jiao's arm.

For her, Shin Jiao is like her younger brother with whom she has a strange familial feeling. She could not accept such a thing when talking about his life.

"Umm… I'm not sure, but I need to check…" Maga Luan said hesitantly.

"You can…" Shin Jiao did not say anything else and permitted her.

Maga showed a blushing face as she slowly approaches Shin Jiao. Then with a bit of hesitation, she slowly extended her hand towards his chest.

Luna, who is seeing her hesitation, rolled her eyes. She then quickly grabs Maga's arm and then extended it to Shin Jiao's chest. The abrupt action made Maga Luan's body jerked as she landed on Shin Jiao's embrace.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, grabs Maga's shoulder while glaring at Luna who is showing a naughty expression on her face.

She was about to remove her hand when she suddenly discovers that she is unable to release her grasp from Maga's arm.

Then she suddenly feels a strong connection and her mind was reeled inside a dark space.

She then noticed two other figures floating in the space along with her; it was Shin Jiao and Maga Luan.

"Hey, what are we doing in here?" Luna asked.

"Hmmm… This seems to be a space or something…" Shin Jiao said.

"No… this is not…" Maga said while her eyes are closed.

"This is the immortal land… I mean within the space of the immortal land." Maga said as she waves her hand as if feeling something in the air.

"Unlike other worlds with life, dead planets are just like this… it's like an empty soul. That's why some powerful deities would absorb a dead planet and cultivate inside their body and create their small world rather than create something from scratch. A dead planet is a planet without life hence its space is empty."

"But, the immortal land is not an empty planet… it has people in it."

"Yeah, but those people do not die… This space is for the souls of those who die… Plus, this planet was especially created by the deities…" Shin Jiao suddenly said as if he suddenly gets what Maga Luan is talking about.

"Then how did we get in here?" Luna asked with a worried expression on her face.

"If only souls could get inside this thing, then are they already dead?" She thought.

"Hmmm… I think it's because Master Shin has an encounter with a powerful being or a creature that sucks life force…" Maga said while thinking if her conjecture is right.

Shin Jiao thought for a while and remembers the Leviathan. It is a creature from the dimension. At that time, he was in a panic to escape from that thing, but now that he remembers it, at that time something seems to be seeping out of him.

"So that was my life force…" he thought.

"Maga… how can we get out of this space?…"

Maga closes her eyes and then feels her surroundings. As someone with a strong connection with life, Maga has the ability to traverse between life and death as long as she is able to grasp a tread of understanding about it.

Suddenly, she seems to have caught something as her hand suddenly stopped. Then she showed confusion on her face.

"What is it? What is happening?" Luna asked worriedly.

"This…" she opens her eyes and looks at Shin Jiao.

"Master you have to see this…" she said then extended her index finger and gesturing for Shin Jiao to come closer.

When Shin Jiao's forehead touches her index finger, his vision changes and he saw floating words in front of his eyes. He did not understand those words and showed confusion.

Suddenly, his mind began churning and those letters began to show clear definition inside his mind. Those were the original language of the immortal land.

He then understood what it means.

It only took a few seconds, as Shin Jiao was now able to read those texts.

'This is the immortal land mainframe… would you like to exit? Y/N'

Shin Jiao thought for a while but decided to explore this place first.

"Can you two wait for a couple of hours? I wanted to figure things out first…" Shin Jiao said as he separates his forehead from Maga's finger.

Everything was gone, but he began thinking. He suddenly copied how Maga waves her hand and soon, the words appear in his sight.

After seeing those words, a smile crept on his face.

Shin Jiao began experimenting with hand gestures and soon discover many types of commands and realize that those hand gestures are rune patterns written in the air.

The gesture that Maga Luan did can be translated as 'out'. He then gestured in the air and saw many other commands that he could perform.

Shin Jiao then realized the potential of this place and what it holds.

"If this is the mainframe of this planet, then does this mean that if I do anything in here, it would have an effect in the outside world?" he thought.

With this question, he gestured in the air with the same question.

Then after a while, something appears.

'This space is a place separate from the planet itself. The architect used this place to design the planet and was abandoned after it was used…'

"Abandoned…" Shin Jiao's eyes lit up.

"If this place is not in use, then… Hehe… Let's not waste this valuable resource then…" Shin Jiao said as he began studying.

Meanwhile, Maga and Luna showed a bored expression while watching Shin Jiao waving his hand in the air. As if feeling the two's gazes he suddenly stopped.

"Sorry, I forgot… You two can exit by waving your hand like this and writing in the air this pattern." He said while writing it with his finger.

Maga and Luna showed a confused expression but still followed his words. Luna then saw the strange words and then followed Shin Jiao by writing the 'Y' command in the air.

Then she suddenly found her consciousness blackening out and then she slowly opens her eyes. Right now, the three of them are lying on the ground. When she opens her eyes, she also noticed that Maga is also waking up.

"What happened?" Luna asked.

"I think we are back…" Maga replied while looking around.

"Then…" Luna shifted her gaze at the still unconscious Shin Jiao.

"Don't worry… Master Shin knows how to exit that place… I think he is planning something… again…" Maga said with a knowing smile on her face.

Luna, who seems to have understood her, just heaves a sigh as she shook her head. If she is crazy with crafting, then Shin Jiao is far crazier and obsessed with new knowledge and researching. She s already aware of it and just shrugged her shoulder.

The Luna lifted Shin Jiao and flung him on the sofa. Maga was speechless upon seeing this and she could not help but smile.

Luna did not bother with Shin Jiao and shifted her attention back to her work instead.
