From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Lin Zeyu scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Is there something wrong with this countdown? Generally, the transmission time is midnight, isn't that normal?"

Lu Heng shook his head with a smile, looked at Su Muyu, and said, "You explain it to him."

Su Muyu drew a circle on the paper and began to explain, "Actually, saying the transmission time is midnight is not accurate.

"There is a problem here, which is that Blue Star has twenty-four time zones, meaning the time for midnight differs in different locations.

"This means our midnight might not be midnight for superpower users in other countries; it might even be noon.

"Based on my analysis, I believe all Abyss Battlefield summons have a summon entity, and the countdown for the summon is based on this entity.

"The summon countdown is generally seven days and a few hours, and when calculated, it is always at midnight for the transmission.

"Looking at other superpower users' summon data, you can see not everyone's countdown starts from seven days.

"There are some special circumstances where different countdowns appear, but a batch of summons will always transmit at the same time.

"In summary, I believe the final transmission time is determined based on the summon entity.

"In our previous Abyss Battlefields, the summon entity was either ourselves or our comrades.

"For the Sea Demon World summon, I think Liu Haiyang and those ocean system warriors were the summon entity, and we were selected based on the difficulty matching of the Abyss Battlefield."

The Sea Demon World summon clearly aimed to recruit superpower users with ocean system enhancements, and Lu Heng's group was added to boost combat power.

Lin Zeyu listened blankly, finding it reasonable after hearing it, but still puzzled, "Is knowing this useful?"

Xie Shi'en pushed up his glasses and answered his query, "Useful, based on the countdown value, we can infer the summon entity is in the same time zone as us.

"Even by precisely calculating the countdown to the second, the exact longitude of the summon entity can be deduced."

Lin Zeyu's expression became even more perplexed, "Wait a moment, wasn't it said that this summon was pulled by the Bone Sovereign? Shouldn't the summon entity be the Bone Sovereign? Would that terrifying presence be in the same time zone as us?"

Lu Heng took a deep breath, picked up the topic, and said, "The Bone Sovereign is definitely not on Blue Star. This means, through this countdown, one thing can be determined.

"The Bone Sovereign is not the summon entity; the entity is on Blue Star and in the same time zone as us, even coinciding with Coastal's longitude, indicating the summon entity is likely in Coastal."

Su Muyu knew what Lu Heng was doing today and asked, "Could the summon entity be Clyde Saville?"

This conjecture is quite reasonable; the quartet was pulled into the summon sequence by the Bone Sovereign.

And Clyde Saville is the host of the Spirit Summoning Ceremony, so if he were the summon entity, everything would make sense.

Lu Heng nodded slightly, picking up the conversation and said, "I have already considered this, so I asked Qi Jinhui to check if Clyde Saville has been summoned, and we should have an answer in a bit."

Before leaving the Superpower Prison, Lu Heng had made this request to Qi Jinhui, clearly stating that an accurate answer was needed and proposed using spiritual torture measures as well.

As for what kind of interrogation Clyde Saville would undergo, Lu Heng didn't care as long as an accurate answer was obtained.

In terms of prisoner interrogation, the Southern War Zone's intelligence department has plenty of experience; once through their hands, the answer is sure to be accurate.

...

Not long after, Lu Heng's phone rang.

Looking at it, it was exactly Qi Jinhui calling.

Qi Jinhui's voice, obviously suppressing curiosity and confusion, came through the phone, "Captain Lu, the task you assigned has been completed. After testing and interrogation, Clyde Saville has not been summoned."

Lu Heng showed a puzzled expression upon hearing this answer, and after putting down the phone, told the trio, "Clyde Saville has not been summoned."

All three showed a surprised expression upon hearing this.

Su Muyu frowned in confusion, "How can it be? If Clyde Saville is not the summon entity, then who else could it be?"

Lu Heng also pondered this question; if Clyde Saville is not the summon entity, then why did the countdown precisely point to midnight last night?

Lin Zeyu scratched his hair, asked, "Could it be a coincidence? Maybe the Bone Sovereign is the summon entity, and the countdown's time just happened to point to midnight in our time zone."

Xie Shi'en shook his head and said, "This possibility definitely exists, but the probability is very low.

Using the calculation of twenty-four hours a day and sixty minutes per hour, even enlarging the error to one minute, the probability of such a coincidence is only 0.14%.

I am someone who believes in statistics, and such low-probability events, I wouldn't consider them as coincidences.

Lu Heng contemplated and said, "Excluding the scenario of coincidence, there is only one other possibility. This Abyss Battlefield has another summon entity, and this entity shares our time zone, probably in Coastal."

After discussion among the four, Xie Shi'en proactively asked, "What preparations do we need to make? This summon is certainly dangerous."

Lu Heng nodded and said, "This time, being dragged into the Abyss Battlefield by a demigod was caused by me."

Xie Shi'en waved to interrupt, "No need to say this; when we signed the team contract, it was already determined that the four of us are one entity. Since we decided to sign at that time, we should be prepared to accept the benefits and risks the team brings."

Lu Heng continued, "Alright, I won't say those superficial things. Because this summon is dangerous, we need to prepare in advance.

"I have already scheduled a meeting with the Dragon Power and the War Zone's advisory team tomorrow to discuss this matter.

"Today we need to confirm a few things.

"First, according to the summoning rules, once the summon countdown appears, the target world is already determined.

"Since the target world is already determined, if the target world can be known in advance, we can prepare accordingly.

"So, the first thing is, do we have any mystical tools at hand to foresee the Abyss Battlefield information in advance?"

Regarding these mystical tools, it's no longer a secret.

Even Lu Heng's group had seen similar mystical tools before.

With the financial power of Flame Emblem and the Lin Group, anything in this world that can be bought with money, Lin Zeyu has a way to acquire.

It's just...

"I don't have it on my side; I wanted to collect them, but none of the forces possessing these special tools are willing to sell them." Lin Zeyu shrugged.

As he said, these mystical tools capable of foreseeing Abyss Battlefield information or entering it in advance are priceless treasures without any circulation channels.

Even though these tools are usually single-use, gone after they're used, any major force acquiring such tools would never put them up for sale.

After all, these tools, when used correctly, can alter the course of an Abyss Battlefield.

Thus, Lin Zeyu has indeed wanted to collect such mystical tools but hasn't been able to acquire any.

Xie Shi'en thought aloud, "I do know there's such a mystical tool in the Creator Organization, but knowing is all I have; acquiring one from the Creator Organization would be very difficult."
