Chapter 297: Lost? The Location of the Elder Council!_2
However, he noticed that Zhou Qing looked a bit disappointed and sad after his reprimand, so he quickly praised her again: "Xiao Qing, you do have a good talent, breaking through so quickly!"
The others hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, in a few decades, maybe there will be another Elder!"
"Keep it up! Strive to add another strong seven-star figure for humanity!"
Upon hearing everyone's praise, a smile returned to Zhou Qing's eyes.
After everyone had praised for a while, Zhou Qing finally couldn't hold back and curiously asked:
"I've heard stories about the Elder Council since I was little, but where is the Council, and where are the Elders exactly? Will an Elder come to pick me up soon?"
Upon hearing this question, Su Yu also perked up.
That so-called Elder Council, it seemed, was the base of that resistance force.
As long as he followed Zhou Qing later, he would definitely find it.
Hearing this question, everyone else looked at each other.
After a while, Uncle Ming coughed twice and then said: "We don't know where the Elder Council is either; those who come out of there never tell us..."
"It's said that as long as a young person breaks through to four stars and uses special Spiritual Energy to contact the Elder Council, this breakthrough individual will soon disappear into thin air."
"As for where they go... wait a minute, where is she?"
Uncle Ming hadn't finished his words when he was startled to find that Zhou Qing in front of him was gone!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Great, it seems Xiao Qing has been picked up by the Elders!"
At this moment, even Su Yu was stunned.
He hadn't even realized how Zhou Qing disappeared just now!
Su Yu hadn't blinked at all just now!
"What's going on? Instant Teleportation?"
But even if it were Instant Teleportation, there should have been energy fluctuations.
"Wait, in this Manifestation Space, perhaps Teleportation doesn't require any energy at all, just some kind of 'permission.'
"Like moving a character in a virtual world, it's just a matter of changing a coordinate."
Su Yu rapidly analyzed in his mind, quickly figuring out the principle behind it.
In this Manifestation Space, everyone is like an NPC in a game.
A simple change of coordinates can achieve Instant Teleportation.
"From this perspective, the capabilities of this resistance force are even stronger than I imagined. They actually possess a portion of the Manifestation Space's permissions."
"This is going to be difficult; haven't I lost track now?"
Su Yu scratched his head a bit.
The power of the human resistance had exceeded his expectations, and now he had lost track of people.
"Fortunately, I left a little trick on that girl; I wonder if it will be discovered..."
Su Yu wasn't hasty but quietly began to sense.
The energy he transmitted to Zhou Qing earlier was actually carrying a little trick.
It was a little Mechanical Spirit Clone.
It's just a small piece of data, then using the ability of Data Materialization, it transformed into a speck of dust, attached to Zhou Qing, extremely concealed.
This little clone has no attack power, its energy is not even comparable to a one-star Transcendent.
But it is considered Su Yu's Mechanical Apostle, closely linked to Su Yu.
With the help of this little Mechanical Spirit Clone, Su Yu could sense its position and the surrounding situation.
Su Yu closed his eyes, searching for that subtle sensation.
Because the Mechanical Spirit Clone was so minimal, the sensing was extremely faint, so he had to fully concentrate.
After a few minutes, Su Yu finally sensed that Zhou Qing was in a mysterious place.
Not up, not down, not left, not right.
In any case, not in any direction, but she did indeed exist.
"What's going on?"
Su Yu was puzzled.
He initially thought Zhou Qing had been taken to a certain location in the Manifestation Space, and as long as he knew the direction, he could find her.
But now, this situation confused Su Yu.
However, Su Yu's mind was extremely quick, his intelligence far surpassing ordinary people.
He pondered for a moment, combined it with the current situation, and quickly hypothesized a possibility:
"Could it be that Zhou Qing is now in another Manifestation Space?"
"Since they are two different Manifestation Spaces, there is no distinction in up, down, left, or right between them!"
"This resistance force's power is more and more surprising! Their mastery of permissions can create another Manifestation Space to use as a base?"
Su Yu deduced that Zhou Qing was in another Manifestation Space!
Mutual independence with the Manifestation Space where Su Yu currently was, hence unable to sense a specific direction!
Like in the central computer of Illusion City, storing many different virtual scenarios.
Each scenario is a different virtual world.
Would there be any left, right, up, or down distinction between two virtual worlds?
Is world A above world B, or below?
None at all.
"If that's the case, then use data thinking..."
After making his hypothesis, Su Yu immediately changed his approach.
There won't be any left, right, up, or down distinction between two virtual worlds.
But in the main computer's data, they must still have 'positions' and 'addresses.'
Manifestation Space is fundamentally virtual data.
Although the "main computer" sustaining this Manifestation Space was unknown, it surely would have positions and addresses.
These positions and addresses are abstract data, not actual directions and coordinates.
Su Yu naturally couldn't find Zhou Qing's whereabouts using real-world thinking.
Now he switched his thinking, adopting data thinking, beginning to sense and analyze Zhou Qing's 'data address.'
"Tsk tsk, could this be considered tracing through the network?"
Su Yu silently mocked in his heart, then focused, fully cracking it.
This was extremely difficult.
After all, without any permission in this Manifestation Space, Su Yu could only crack it forcibly.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be capable of completing such a task.
After all, his Data Mechanic was still at six-star level, not upgraded to seven stars.
Luckily, with the Mechanical Spirit Clone as a guide, it gave Su Yu clear coordinates.
The Mechanical Spirit Clone itself, being an eight-star level data life clone, also actively cooperated with Su Yu, transmitting the surrounding environment's data to him.
As a result, Su Yu's cracking progressed tremendously smoothly!
Even through this, Su Yu managed to glimpse some of the secrets of Manifestation Space!
Initially, Su Yu was completely clueless about the workings of Manifestation Space.
But now, borrowing from the data comparison between the two Manifestation Spaces, analyzing their differences, he gradually grasped some insights.
"So that's it, the essence of space seems to be a special form of matter!"
"Since it's possible to manifest matter, it's also possible to manifest space!"
"However, to complete such a task, one requires a deep understanding of the essence of space to simulate various properties of space with data, along with powerful data manipulation ability..."
Su Yu analyzed Zhou Qing's position while summarizing in his mind, growing more and more delighted.
At this rate, once he understood the secrets of Manifestation Space, perhaps in the near future, he too could attempt to manifest his own space!
Just as Su Yu was absorbed in his research, suddenly he sensed a furious voice from the Mechanical Spirit's side:
"What is this! Courting death!"
The next instant, Su Yu's connection with the Mechanical Spirit Clone was severed.
It seemed the Mechanical Spirit Clone was discovered!
Before the connection was interrupted, Su Yu received the last piece of information that the Mechanical Spirit Clone initiated self-destruct.
The Mechanical Spirit Clone was tasked by Su Yu before deployment.
If it got discovered, it would self-destruct to avoid leaking Su Yu's intelligence.
As a small clone, it lacked complete self-awareness and wasn't a fully-fledged data life, so it self-destructed as programmed.
Sadly, Su Yu had yet to fully analyze Zhou Qing's location.
"The snake has been alerted now! No choice, have to try!"
Su Yu knew that the Mechanical Spirit Clone had just been discovered; if he didn't act soon, who knows if that Elders' Council would escape!
After all, they could create a Manifestation Space as a base, maybe they could create a second one.
Where would Su Yu look for them then?
Determined, Su Yu immediately condensed his own Data Spirit Power into a mass and punched into the void.
This punch was silent, with no energy fluctuations, but he blasted a black void in the space!
Without hesitation, Su Yu leapt into the void!
This was the result of Su Yu's research! Breaking through the Manifestation Space, forcibly crossing!
