/ Astral Apostle Chapter 265 – Rules of Astral Travel; Approaching Confluence Period (1)
Hearing his “great achievements”, Zhou Jing's mood was pretty subtle.
On the stage, Shen Xinqin naturally did not notice anything.
“When explorers come into contact with the natives, they will usually use fake identities. What we advocate is to communicate with them with a rational and equal attitude. However, there will always be explorers who feel superior and think that they are outsiders who have descended like gods. The natives are uncivilized creatures, so they look down on them…
This is a very wrong way of thinking. Many bloody conflicts start from such inconspicuous places. If you have a chance to serve in the future, you must remember this.”
“Indeed.” Zhou Jing nodded seriously.
At this moment, a student raised his hand and asked curiously, “As for that native killed the Explorer, what should we do? Fight back or ignore him?”
Shen Xinqin gestured for the student to put down his hand as she nodded.
“Good question… This depends on the specific situation. First of all, everyone has to be clear that the Exploration Bureau's restrictions on the explorers in the other dimensions are limited. This will cause some people's desires to swell and they might not be able to discover it in time. Under such circumstances, if the explorers get into a conflict with the natives, even if they are killed, the Exploration Bureau will not care. They will not organize a counterattack to take revenge.”
“Even if you manage to survive, the bureau will still punish you. They usually won't let such people continue to serve.”
“And if it's an Explorer who sacrificed himself to carry out a mission, the Exploration Bureau will try its best to collect the bones and carry out a limited counterattack and revenge. They won't implicate unrelated people and will only destroy the murderer physically… For example, the ferocious native I just mentioned had died with the Explorer, so everything ended there. If the native had not died, the explorers from other countries will definitely counterattack until they destroyed the native.”
“Fortunately, Jason ‘died'. Otherwise, he would probably be hunted down from thousands of miles away. If that was the case, it would be very difficult for him to grow up steadily…” Zhou Jing scratched his head and felt a little lucky.
Shen Xinqin changed the scene of the lesson and continued.
“Other than that, explorers also face a huge problem, which is time. The flow of time between the various dimensions is different. Sometimes, if you stay in the other world for a few months, only a few days will pass in the main world. After many explorers return from their military service, they will have psychological problems such as cognitive confusion and a lost sense of time. In a sense, the price of an explorer's military service is their own lifespan.”
“Scientists have been thinking of ways to solve it. Although there are some methods now, such as using technology to extend one's lifespan, injecting telomerase that can be absorbed by the human body, using secret techniques to increase one's lifespan, or trying to make high-level Supers with longer natural lifespans serve in the army as much as possible.
However, they can't solve the root of the problem. These life-extending methods have limits, and there's no way to fundamentally solve the problem of the difference in the flow of time.

That's why explorers serve part-time. Only a small number of willing people will stay in the alternate dimension for decades. They won't even return when the dimension leaves. Instead, they will continue to guard the alternate dimension and take care of the results of the last exploration. They will silently wait for the next intersection period to arrive. They are worthy of respect.”
Hearing this, everyone became restless, and many people fell into hesitation.
Zhou Jing's heart skipped a beat. As expected, he had guessed that there would be such a problem when he signed the confidentiality agreement.
However, what surprised him was that there were actually Explorers who did not return and would continue to wait in other dimensions. After living for decades or centuries, they were probably no different from natives themselves.
Could this be the legendary deep-diving double agent?
“Such a death warrior must be very precious. The Mutant World is so backward, so it shouldn't have such a huge investment. I guess the main world will only arrange such a person in the more important astral realms.”
Zhou Jing muttered to himself.
Shen Xinqin had no intention of persuading everyone to accept it. She only told the truth and waited patiently for everyone to calm down before continuing,
“In addition, due to the difference in the natural laws of the astral realms, this will cause some supernatural power systems to conflict with certain astral realms, resulting in some explorers being unable to unleash their original strength.
For example, those with mechanical prosthetics. They are the type of people who have the most frequent conflicts of power. Because of the magical filtering phenomenon when they travel, many technological products and resources can't enter the astral world. Therefore, the Mechanical Explorers rarely serve in the military. Only certain planes will consider them.
In comparison, those who strengthen their bodies have the least conflict of strength. Most planes will not have any problems. Even if there is a conflict, causing them to be unable to use certain martial arts energy, their tempered bodies will still not disappear. Therefore, among the explorers who serve, the proportion of martial artists is the highest.”
Zhou Jing was enlightened.
No wonder the academy attached so much importance to the martial arts course. It turned out that boorish people were the most suitable…
No wonder in this era where technology and magic were quite advanced, Wang Wu still looked proud of the Martial Way in class. He did not expect the martial artists to actually have such a desirable position!
Shen Xinqin picked up the thermos cup and took a sip to moisten her throat.
Seeing everyone's ears perked up, she smiled,
“According to the scientists' speculation, the older the plane, the more tolerant it is of various supernatural powers. The filtering rules for technology and supplies are most likely related to it.”
“In the theory of scientists, every plane is wrapped in a layer of spatial membrane that only intersects but doesn't fuse. This layer of membrane is also called the Astral Membrane.”
