Chương 77: Return to the Panlong World

More than a month passed, and after finishing his business at the Wang family's house, Richard returned to the residence provided by Ye Zhen.

While researching the pendulum's supernatural properties, he also brought out the Otsutsuki clan's treasure form, which he had acquired long ago in the Naruto world.

He used this item in Panlong World and it had no effect whatsoever.

He once thought it was broken, and even went back to the Naruto world for this reason, but it could be used in the Naruto world to travel to other parallel universes.

I also tried verifying it in Xia Mi's Dragon Raja world, but it still couldn't be used properly.

He guessed that it might be because the two worlds didn't actually have parallel worlds, which was why it couldn't be used.

In this mysteriously revived world, although there are no parallel worlds, the laws of spacetime are very active.

Richard, taking advantage of the convenience of the pendulum and his research findings, successfully struck up a conversation with Yang Jian, who was downstream in time.

This guy has almost completely lost his humanity.

The communication did not go very well.

As for how unfriendly it is?

Ah, he's back in the Panlong world now.

Let me clarify first, it's not that I can't beat Yang Jian in the future, it's just that Yang Jian is already in such a miserable state that I can't be bothered to bother with him.

I spent nearly two months in the mysterious resurrected world, and it wasn't a wasted trip.

It could even be said that the gains were enormous.

The gains in understanding the laws alone made the trip worthwhile. Because that world was full of strange and mysterious elements, imbued with the characteristics of the netherworld and death, he successfully grasped the basics of the rules of death after two months of study.

It's not just a beginner's level, but a significant leap forward, saving at least a century's worth of effort.

Perhaps because the rules of death in his world are so different from those in his own, he needs to adjust and compare the differences before he can comprehend the rules of his own world.

But it was only a matter of time.

Regarding the laws of spacetime, he successfully replicated the Ghost Domain and the ability to restart before leaving, relying on his own understanding.

But once he returned to the Panlong World, he couldn't use any of it. The Ghost Realm was very different from the spatial laws he had previously comprehended.

According to his understanding, the Ghost Realm is somewhat like Marvel's dimensional magic, which divides the space of the material world into many layers.

It's quite different from his previous research on spatial teleportation, dimensional rifts, and small-world construction.

The prerequisite for using this spatial capability is that the spatial structure of the world itself conforms to this pattern.

The Panlong World doesn't have many layers. Cutting open the space of the material world would only result in falling into spatial turbulence, where even ordinary high-level gods cannot survive.

Even high-level gods who have reached the Great Perfection stage cannot move freely once they fall in; only the main gods can retain the ability to move within the spatial turbulence.

As for restarting, anything involving time reversal is basically unusable; he suspects that HarmonyOS has restricted such laws from the very beginning.

The time freeze function works normally, though.

As for time acceleration? That should also work.

The mysteries of fast and slow in the Laws of Wind involve the acceleration and stagnation of time.

However, he has not yet fully grasped and integrated it, and does not know the final effect.

Although it cannot be used in the Panlong World, the myriad worlds are endless. When his laws can be applied to all worlds, perhaps he can be called a Great Luo?

Before that, one needs to comprehend enough laws and witness the differences in the great principles of different worlds.

And now, he is on that path.

It's better than being trapped in one world for tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years without making any progress.

In addition, he captured many strange creatures that were beneficial to the comprehension of the laws, and even had the Six Paths Puppet control many of them.

Next, he just needs to follow the steps, and his speed of comprehending the laws will not be too slow.

For example, the profound mysteries of sound waves and music in the wind system and the profound mysteries of mirroring techniques in the water system have corresponding strange phenomena that can be learned from and comprehended.

Long before he returned, the water-elemental god clone had already left the One Piece world with Xia Mi and the others.

In that world, the water elemental god's avatar lived up to his expectations and successfully comprehended the profound mystery of perfect harmony.

By this point, he had grasped all the mysteries of the water system's laws.

It even found a point of convergence between the roundness and gentleness and the most basic mysteries of the water element, and the water system can be said to have embarked on the path of fusion with the mysteries.

The world of One Piece has been turned upside down by a few individuals.

The Celestial Dragons are gone. The top-tier fighting force was wiped out by Richard and his crew, even Im was defeated. The national treasure, the Celestial King, became spoils of war.

Although at first, the World Government and the Navy tried to cover it up and conceal the truth.

But it wasn't long before a clever person noticed something was amiss. Through gradual probing, the truth was soon discovered.

Thus, the once high and mighty Celestial Dragons became rats in the street, hated by everyone, and were quickly wiped out by various forces.

The navy didn't intend to protect them to the death; they just wanted to let all the forces vent their anger, right?

After all the factions had vented their anger, they discovered that the Navy had joined forces with the Revolutionary Army and wanted to form a new world government.

However, most kings were not interested in this, and they found it difficult to have a good impression of revolutionary armies that were stirring up trouble in their countries.

They want to form a world government? Did we agree to that?

Before Xia Mi and the others left, the alliance of the Navy and the Revolutionary Army was engaged in fierce open and covert struggles with the various kingdoms.

If it weren't for their group attracting the attention of several pirate emperors in the New World, the Navy's situation would have been even worse.

Those sea emperors will never let this opportunity to cause trouble pass them by. At least Kaido and Big Mom won't let it go.

Whitebeard, on the other hand, prefers a peaceful retirement. He's a true family man; as long as his sons aren't bothered, he won't cause trouble.

After defeating Kaido, Richard and his companions faced off against Shanks.

After learning that his Celestial Dragon father and brother were dead, this guy came looking for him with his crew.

At that time, they were wandering in an unknown sea in the New World, a place where it is said that Zulu had once visited.

They came following in the footsteps of the elephant god, hoping to visit the furry kingdom.

But before they could find Zunesha, Shanks caught up with them.

There's not much to say, just release Kaido and let him bite.

Although Kaido was unwilling to be Xia Mi's dog back in Wano Country.

But as the saying goes, a forced marriage may not be sweet, but it can quench your thirst.

Xia Mi directly and forcibly transformed him into a little dragon using dragon blood. The suppression from the bloodline forced Kaido to submit.

They also took over Kaido's forces along the way, incorporating them all.

Xia Mi was very happy at the time. None of her dragon servants were as good as Kaido, and there were almost none of them even at the level of the Three Disasters.

This can be considered a win-win situation. She won twice, so how can it not be a win-win?

They not only gained Kaido, but also acquired some more subordinates.

This move of closing the door and releasing Kaido completely stunned Shanks and his entire crew on the other side.

In the end, Shanks and his crew all perished at sea.

Kaido's pirate crew was already strong enough to fight them to a draw, and with the addition of Richard and the others, the balance of power tilted directly in a direction unfavorable to Shanks and his crew.

These people are quite arrogant, playing the "fight to the death" card. Well, they'll get what they deserve—they'll all die in battle.

Now, of the four Yonko crews in the New World, one became Xia Mi's subordinate, and the other was completely wiped out.

Whitebeard and Big Mom remained on high alert, even showing signs of joining forces. They feared that Richard and his men might launch a surprise attack and wipe them out at any moment.

However, Richard and his group did not intend to kill them; they were genuinely just having fun.

First, we went to the furry kingdom. These furry people were quite interesting. They had certain animal characteristics and their living habits were similar to those of the corresponding animals.

Fur-bearing tribes with cat ears like to eat fish and are wary of each other. Fur-bearing tribes with rabbit ears like to eat carrots.

It makes one wonder if these creatures might be the product of genetic experiments conducted by some technologically advanced ancient civilization.

The development of technology in this world is quite interesting; it all relies on archaeology.

In some ways, archaeologists in this world are actually driving technological progress.

For some reason, world governments have resisted the development of science and technology, resulting in the world's current level of technology being far lower than it was a thousand years ago.

After leaving the fluffy kingdom, the group went to the abandoned research base of Punk Hazard and took away a replica of the pink Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form.

This fruit is a masterpiece left by Vegapunk in his research on Kaido, and its various abilities are similar to Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit.

However, simply because the dragon it transformed into was pink, unlike the blue dragon, Vegapunk deemed it a failure and discarded it in the abandoned research base of Punk Hazard without taking it with him.

Richard and his group took it with them on their way.

Now Momonosuke can forget about eating that fruit again.

That lecherous brat should go play somewhere else.

Kaido's pirate crew, including Yamato, were all taken away by them, and Wano Country has regained its freedom. The rest is up to them.

The people in this world have a fatalistic mindset, as if they cannot lead everyone to victory unless they are the right person or possess the Nika Fruit.

Therefore, these strong individuals all acted rather awkwardly.

Anyway, Richard, Xia Mi, Lin Feng and the others couldn't accept these guys' fatalistic thinking.

Even the people of Wano Country believe in the prophecies made by Kozuki Oden and Kozuki Toki. A group of loyal samurai are waiting for Momonosuke's return.

They do not recognize Kaido's rule. Similarly, if you think that you can rightfully rule Wano Country just because you drove away Kaido and saved it, that is wishful thinking.

They won't agree with you either.

So the group only stayed in Wano Country for a few days before leaving, letting them have their own fun.

Let's see what kind of tricks Momonosuke can pull off without the Pink Dragon Fruit.

Afterwards, the group went to the giant kingdom of Elbaf.

This place is called a kingdom, but it's actually not very large. These giants are definitely a minority, and the entire kingdom only has a population of ten to twenty thousand.

Of course, a force of ten or twenty thousand giants is already quite strong.

If there weren't so few top-tier experts, releasing this group of giants would be enough to dominate the ocean.

Therefore, the World Government's wariness of Elbaf is justified.

Once a few powerful individuals are born in Elbaf and the entire race is united, they will be able to stir up a storm across the entire ocean.

Unfortunately, they were constantly coveted and weakened by the World Government, and indeed they didn't have many strong individuals.

I didn't stay here long, just took a quick look around.

After that, they didn't even go to Larudev. They weren't pirates, so they weren't interested in that so-called final island.

Feeling utterly bored, they left that world.

However, the water elemental god clone did not return, but instead went to Wanwan's world again with Xia Mi, Lin Feng, and the others.
