Astral Apostle
/ Astral Apostle Chapter 234 – Confluence Ends (1)
Ever since he obtained the Astral Travel Interface, it had only been a little more than a month. Zhou Jing had been fumbling around with it.
Although he was familiar with the series of mechanisms such as projection, return, placement, clearance, and so on, he did not dare to say that he had completely figured out all the mechanisms.
At this moment, when he saw the message that the Astral confluence had ended, he could not help but be shocked. He quickly opened the Astral Realm record files.
There was only one Astral Realm recorded inside, which was the [Mutant Beast World] No. 001. At this moment, it was grayed out, indicating that it was closed and could not be traveled through.
“So Astral Travel isn't always activated…”
Zhou Jing was surprised.
Previously, he had always thought that as long as he recorded an Astral Realm, he would be able to travel through it. Therefore, after obtaining the supernatural power from Jason, he subconsciously felt a little relaxed and not so anxious.
From the looks of it, that was not the case.
Thinking back to the hint when he first activated Astral Travel, since there was a [Projectable] state, there would naturally be a [Non-Projectable] state.
However, because it had never happened and he had no experience, it was useless to guess blindly, so he did not think too much about it.

Seeing the hint that the “gravitational strength of the plane was lower than the threshold”, Zhou Jing had a guess.
“From the looks of it, the convergence and confluence of the astral realms is somewhat similar to the movement of celestial bodies. There's some kind of natural law that I'm not sure about.
“There should be peaks and valleys in the gravitational strength of the plane. When the strength of the gravity is higher than the threshold, an astral world can be traveled to again.”
Thinking of this, Zhou Jing thought to himself that he was lucky. Fortunately, Jason had cleared his life objective ahead of schedule. Otherwise, it would not be good for him.
He carefully read the hint that the astral confluence had ended and experimented with some tests to roughly understand the situation.
The astral world that had been cut off could not be traveled any longer. The apostles that had been placed inside could not be controlled for the time being. They could only continue to AFK and act according to the placement plan that had been set previously. They could not be adjusted in real time.
Only when the apostles died in the placement would they then bring back the benefits and let him see their movements… Therefore, he could either wait for the apostles to die or for the Astral Realm to converge again.
Only in the Eternal Apostle could he take the initiative to recycle it and consume a deployment chance to release it from its current state. It was basically the same as the conventional re-launch mechanism.
The purpose of recycling was mainly to free up the Apostle slot. Because the upper limit of the Apostle slot was “Eternal Apostle +1”, there were only a limited number of them.
Currently, he only had two Apostle slots, Jason·Wood and Bill. They were both currently in the [Mutant World] that had its connection cut off… If he detected a new Astral Realm, unless he retrieved one of them, he would not be able to send an Apostle into the new Astral Realm.
As for the Astral Apostles, the resources they collected from the disconnected astral realms were still considered placement benefits.
Zhou Jing immediately thought of the upper limit of the benefits. Only an Eternal Apostle whose synchronization rate had reached the fourth stage could the upper limit be removed.
Jason had already met the requirements, so the longer he lived in the Astral Realm, the more benefits he could accumulate.
However, although Bill had met the requirements to achieve Permanence, he had yet to complete the settlement and had yet to become an Eternal Apostle. Therefore, his abilities had yet to enter the convertible ability library, and there was still a limit to the benefits he could obtain.
“Aiya, I wonder how long Bill can live in the Mutant World. If the benefits reach the upper limit, I'm afraid it'll be a loss on my end.”
Zhou Jing could not help but scratch his head.
After all, this was the first time he had triggered the Astral Travel Interface. He had no experience.

However, on second thought, as the turmoil in the Empire and the tribes intensified, the impact would spread. Bill could obtain a large number of Information State particles. Even if he could not exceed the upper limit of the benefits, he could greatly increase his final evaluation.
This way, although the overflowing benefits could not be obtained, the clearing evaluation would be recorded at a higher standard, causing Bill's clearing settlement benefits to increase exponentially… His aptitude and attributes would increase even more, and there would be more opportunities to be released again. The most important part was that a greater portion of his abilities could be converted to the main body for free saving more fees.
In comparison, there were pros and cons.
Since he already had Jason, an apostle who had no upper limit for AFK benefits, and could guarantee a portion of his gains, it was not a bad idea to let Bill increase his evaluation… Zhou Jing calculated the gains and losses in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something.
“Speaking of which, I've never found any traces of the alien lifeforms from the other dimensions. Although I don't know how they traveled, the pattern of the astral confluence might not only work on me. Could it be that this is the reason why they disappeared?”
Zhou Jing's eyes flickered. He felt that he might have guessed correctly this time.
He could not help but think of the Hein emblem that he had once found near Frostwood Village.
Perhaps the civilization of the main world might not be ignorant of the convergence of the astral realms. There might be people from the main world among that group of alien lifeforms… He had long made a bold guess in this regard.
However, ordinary people could not come into contact with such secrets. Zhou Jing had never heard of such a situation being spoken about online.
Fortunately, he had already become a Super. As long as he climbed up, he might be able to find some clues.
Zhou Jing could not calm down.
Currently, there was no plane that he could travel to, making his heart itch. He did not know when the next astral confluence would be…
Since he lacked knowledge, it would be easy if he had some research in the main world. He could learn from it and strengthen his understanding of Astral Traveling.
“Also, when we travel to the main world, one day in the main world is about a month in the Mutant World. However, after we break the connection, it might not be like when we travel. The ratio of time flow between the main world and the astral world will always fluctuate.
I wonder how long it would have passed the next time both planes converge, and what sort of changes would have taken place…
Years, or decades?”
Zhou Jing was uncertain.
During this period of time, he could only let the Astral Apostle play by himself. He could not personally descend and adapt to the situation. This caught him off guard.
However, after this change, Zhou Jing had some experience. After thinking for a while, he knew how to play his cards properly the next time.
Since the astral confluence would wax and wane, when he personally projected himself, it was mainly for him to set the stage of laying the foundation and letting different Astral Apostles enter a stable growth and development trajectory. This could reduce the chances of accidents happening in the long term.
Therefore, he could use the Astral projection stage as a layout and planning period to prepare for the end of the astral confluence.
For example, Jason and Bill both had a foundation. As long as they placed the artificial intelligence in a more reliable position, they could develop steadily in the direction they planned.
Zhou Jing did not expect them to be able to adapt to the situation. He only hoped that the two tools would do their job well and continuously accumulate strength. This way, at least it would be stable.
As for the current situation in the Mutant World, he could only let it evolve on its own.
As long as the apostle did not die, no matter how the situation changed, there would always be a place for him.
… Speaking of which, he did not know if the Astral Apostle had a lifespan limit and how long they could live.
Zhou Jing shook his head helplessly.
Because the only record in his astral realm list had the connection broken, there was no other planes for him to travel to. There was no way to do anything for the time being.
Bill had yet to become an Eternal Apostle. Currently, only Jason's ability was in the ability library.
Because the apostles could not update the files in real time, before retrieving Jason, the ability library only recorded the abilities that Jason had when he broke the connection.
Therefore, the maximum number of superpowers that could be converted to his main body was Jason's Fourth Enhancement Mutant Blood Warrior system.
“My main body's Mutant Blood Warrior system only has two enhancements. The current ability library still has a lot of room for improvement for me…”
Zhou Jing pondered for a moment before taking out his phone to look at the date.
Today was September 7th, not far from the day of boarding and immigration on September 19th.
Over the past few days, Zhou Jing had been spending the day with his three childhood friends. Before migrating from West Sea City, he had been learning the basic things to take note of. His life was calm and stable.
The instructor of the Supers Bureau also got everyone to undergo some basic superpower training and teach them some simple combat skills in the main world.
Although it did not improve Zhou Jing much, Xu Lingyun and Zhang Xiao had benefited greatly. They were finally able to fall properly. It was no longer the eye-catching struggle and belly flop on the ground.
As for Li Xiaoyin, she was still lonely at the top. No one dared to go against her, afraid that if they made a mistake, they would be turned into pancakes by the shock wave.
In addition, after attending the training class for a month, Zhou Jing and the other three were basically familiar with the immigrants from their hometown. They agreed to team up to deal with the new environment after entering Planet Aquamarine.

When he returned home at night, Zhou Jing would be obsessed with traveling, unable to extricate himself.
He had lived in the Mutant World for a long time, but to the main world, he had only traveled for 20 to 30 cycles.
At this point in Jason and Bill's development, the daily benefits, placement benefits, and achievement rewards were quite abundant. Zhou Jing had accumulated tens of thousands of Astral Points and considerable Information State Particles.
Although the broken connection in the astral world might not be credited for a period of time in the future, his “savings” were more than enough to convert Jason's abilities.
However, at the moment, Zhou Jing was inclined to let his main body train on its own. Every time there was an improvement, he could save some money on conversion fees. He would save as much as he could… After all, he could not open up his source of income for the time being, so he could only save and scrimp.
“Before the next Astral confluence or the Apostle Recycling, my current ability library is what I can rely on… A four-time enhanced Mutant Blood Warrior also has the ability to release lightning. It's definitely at the level of a Rank 2 superpower user in the main world. It's hard to say if it can reach Rank 3, since there's quite a great divide between both ranks.
After emigrating to the Planet Aquamarine, we still have to enter school and receive the education and transformation in the Supers Academy before entering society. The competitors during the same period are all new Awakeners. Such strength shouldn't be considered bad, right?”
Zhou Jing calculated in his heart. Realizing that the immigration date was approaching, he could not help but feel excited.
He had the backing to be proud!
He had made a name for himself with these astral travel results!
