I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Dragon Core Fighters landed at the temporary base of White Crow in Qingcheng.

After several months of construction, what was once a mere skeleton of a base now looked decent, and the word 'temporary' could almost be removed.

This base was prepared in anticipation of the 'Interdimensional Overlap Phenomenon' that could occur at any time in the unfinished building area of South Qingcheng.

Initially, it was meant to be makeshift, enough to house people and store items, but for some reason, the person in charge of the base suddenly received orders from above, stating that the base should be built to the standards of a formal base. It seemed that there was an intention for a group of White Crow members to be stationed here permanently.

The Qingcheng Government was particularly pleased by this and provided a special fund to assist with the construction.

After the plane landed completely, the hatch opened.

Xue Jing was the first to step out.

Miao Miao crouched on his shoulder, and Yu Ga Shenle followed by his side in a dress of Ning Fengwan, hands stacked in front of her, exuding an elegant and composed demeanor characteristic of a young lady, making the not-so-expensive clothes she wore appear like some high-end luxury.

Half a step behind Xue Jing was Yun Qin, dressed in a classic maid's outfit, and the entire group looked like some noble son returning from a trip with his pet and wife.

"You've really made a splash this time, Lord Jing," said a member of the Xuren Squad who came to meet them, Mountain Demon, with a smile as he approached.

"The strongest, toughest champion in the history of U19. Now, the online discussions about you are very heated; the hype hasn't died down for several days."

Xue Jing smiled and replied, "Empty fame... Where's Captain Void Blade?"

"The Captain went to the area where the boundary shocks are frequent to investigate the situation. He goes there every day... Ning, what are you still doing here? Is your work at Cease-Blades that relaxed?" Mountain Demon asked, turning his gaze to Ning Yuantai who had also walked out of the hatch, looking surprised.
Stay tuned with empire

"You White Crows really have no manners; I've already told you, stop calling me 'Ning.'

Ning Yuantai retorted with dissatisfaction and then continued:

"Right now, running errands for Xue is my job. Is there a problem?"

He crossed his arms over his chest, somehow looking quite smug as he talked about running errands for Xue Jing.

Mountain Demon raised an eyebrow: "Lord Jing is our special consultant in White Crow. What, are you planning to switch sides and join us in White Crow, going from darkness to light?"

Ning Yuantai chuckled, "Don't flatter yourself. That's a position you guys arbitrarily assigned to Xue. By your logic, Xue is also a member of my Cease-Blades."

The two bantered noisily, yet their tone was not intense; it sounded more like casual chat and there was no anger to be heard.

Xue Jing wasn't bothered and interjected:

"Nothing major has happened in Qingcheng lately, right?"

He stayed in the Inner Ring, and though he used the internet there, he mainly accessed the 'Super Network,' which was much better than the outdated network of the Outer Ring. He had gotten unaccustomed to the sluggish internet speed of the past.

As a result, he had not paid attention to what had been happening in the Outer Ring for a long time.

It seems that separation between the inner and outer areas is quite normal now... The internet was meant to bridge the gap between the 'city' and the 'countryside,' but now both geography and the internet itself are sequestered, making it a case of everyone doing their own thing.

"No big deal... It's just that the unfinished building area where the boundary shocks occur frequently is a bit strange," Mountain Demon said casually.

"It was assessed months ago that it might experience an overlap phenomenon at any time, but it still hasn't happened... Which isn't a good sign."

"The area was originally determined as potentially experiencing a weak dimensional overlap, which occurs when worlds graze against each other, and it's the reason for the frequent boundary shocks. When both worlds finally break open some fissures and overlap, that's when a weak overlap occurs."

"But worlds themselves are like vehicles: they never stop moving forward. If the worlds keep grazing against each other without breaking open, the pressure from their continued forward motion will accumulate and strengthen...

"Eventually, from 'grazing' it might turn into 'colliding' with the force of an impact, evolving into a strong overlap phenomenon with a pollution rate of over 60%.">

Xue Jing remembered Captain Void Blade saying that a weak overlap could be handled, but a strong overlap was difficult to manage and would irreversibly turn an area into Intersecting Boundaries.

"Is there any way to combat this?"

Mountain Demon shook his head and replied, "Collisions between worlds happen beyond the boundary... That's a realm unreachable by mankind. All we can do is to roughly estimate the pollution level in advance and take corresponding measures."

"I see... If there's anything I can do, just let me know," Xue Jing nodded.

After all, Qingcheng was his hometown, and if a significant disaster like a strong overlap were to occur, he couldn't just ignore it.

Fortunately, his own strength was now considerable, and he wouldn't be powerless in the face of an unfolding calamity.

"I was waiting for you to say that, Lord Jing!" Mountain Demon laughed heartily.

...

"Eh... So this is Xue Jun's hometown?"

Ning Yuantai drove ahead while Xue Jing and the others sat in the backseat, and Yu Ga Shenle curiously looked out the window.

"A city that can cultivate a person like Xue Jun..."

Xue Jing chuckled and said, "There's nothing special about it, just a small city... You've probably never been to a place this small before, have you?"

Yu Ga Shenle shook her head.

"Besides training under my master at Dayu Mountain, I've mostly stayed in Tokyo... but I often go to various places to compete, and I've been to many cities."

The two chatted for a while, and then Xue Jing suddenly said:

"By the way, Yuantai, book a hotel room near my home later."
