Although he had already guessed that the path out of this subdimension would be incomparably long, Guhan and his swordmaidens fooled around in the subdimension for a full year, but they still hadn't found a single way to leave.
In truth, in this entire subdimension, aside from Guhan and Guhan's swordmaidens, Guhan hadn't seen any other living beings. This place was eternally desolate, so desolate that Guhan felt as though he would be trapped here for the rest of his life.
Some readers might find this strange. Wasn't this subdimension the same as the Seamless Corridor?
Both were worlds where time flowed like water. Guhan had spent nearly eight years in the Seamless Corridor, but he hadn't lost hope. Why was it that after spending just a year in this subdimension, he felt as though he was about to die?
The reason was simple. Time in the Seamless Corridor was fundamentally different from time in this subdimension.
The Seamless Corridor was a node where time was frozen. Although it felt as though an extremely long period of time had passed in the Seamless Corridor, in truth not even a second or a minute had passed. This could be seen from the fact that his swordmaidens didn't seem to feel anything for eight years.
More importantly, Guhan didn't feel hungry in the Seamless Corridor, and his body didn't show any signs of aging or maturing. Thus, time in the Seamless Corridor had indeed been frozen for Guhan.
But this subdimension was different. It was a place that existed on an actual timeline. Just like the real world, living in a subdimension required eating and sleeping.
Thus, during this past year, the food in Guhan's dimensional pocket began to disappear like water. Even though Guhan had prepared thirty years worth of food, with Qingpin and Douyu, those two gluttons, thirty years worth of food was only enough to support him for a year or so. By now, Guhan's dimensional pocket was about to run out of food … and in the end, even the world that Guhan had simulated was destroyed.
As for the consciousness fragments that Guhan had split off, they all stayed quietly within his dimensional pocket. Guhan didn't plan on splitting off any more fragments, because even now, Guhan wasn't sure exactly how these fragments should be used.
After all, that world was created from food. At critical moments, he still needed to restore the food to its original use. However, the swordmaidens all said that the food tasted strange, making it hard to swallow.
"It looks like we'll have to enter a subdimension!"
Guhan said as he looked at his empty dimensional pocket. The food in his dimensional pocket had already been used up, and finding food in a subdimension was clearly impossible. Thus, only by entering a subdimension would they have a chance at finding real food.
Fortunately, there was no lack of subdimensions in this subdimension. Under Guhan's lead, they found the largest bubble-like subdimension. The Slaying Immortal sword lightly cut across the dimensional walls of this subdimension, and Guhan, opened the door to it, allowing Guhan and enter.
…
As soon as Guhan led his swordmaidens into this world, it caused a huge commotion.
Because the dimensional wall that Guhan cut was directly connected to a very densely populated area, Guhan and the others walked out of a spatial rift in front of hundreds of people, scaring the surrounding people into screaming. The densely populated area instantly became empty.
"Hey!
This seems to be Earth too. Look at those words, they're so familiar!
And here, isn't this a big shopping mall? "Qidian pointed at the surrounding scenery excitedly.
The place that Guhan could possibly appear in was indeed a large shopping mall. There were all kinds of shops around, such as clothing stores, cosmetics stores, gourmet shops, and so on. There were many merchants timidly hiding behind the glass walls of the shops, cautiously looking at Guhan's strange group of one man and ten women.
"No, the words here aren't Chinese!" Yi Tian looked at the signboards on the surrounding shops and said with a frown.
"Of course they aren't Chinese, they're Japanese. It seems that we've landed in this subdimension's Japanese world."
Guhan said faintly. He carefully counted all of Guhan's swordmaidens. Apart from the Victory Sword, which understood ancient Greek, there seemed to be no other swordmaidens who understood any other language besides Chinese. Fortunately, Guhan had learned a lot of different languages back then, otherwise, he wouldn't even know what this world was.
"We can't waste too much time in this subdimension. Once we replenish our food here, we'll immediately return to the subdimension and continue to find the way back to the real world!" Guhan said.
"Don't!"
Hearing Guhan's words, Yi Tian suddenly became a little unhappy, "What's so good about that subdimension where even ghosts can't be seen? This world looks more fun. Why don't we stay here for a while before leaving? Otherwise, my spirit will really collapse!"
"…" Guhan was about to refute Yi Tian's words, but when Guhan turned around, he saw that almost all the swordmaidens were looking at him with a pleading gaze. Even the Past Water Sword couldn't help but look at him a few times.
"Alright, I got it!"
Guhan sighed. It seemed that the boring life in the subdimension for a year had really made the swordmaidens' spirits collapse. If they didn't relax their tense nerves, they might completely break down.
"I wonder what's going on in the human world now!"
Guhan sighed in his heart. He could only hope that the river of time would randomly send him to 3012 years ago. That way, it would be possible for him to save Yanjing City, which had been destroyed in the hands of the 12 Zu Wu, and the pitiful people of Yuzhang City.
Guhan was very afraid that when he returned to the real world, it would already be a few hundred years later, and the human race would have completely perished.
"Hooray!"
The swordmaidens were not so flustered. After experiencing a year of emptiness, whether the human world was destroyed or not was no longer important to them. Anyway, the most important thing now was to eat, drink, and play to their heart's content.
So, under Yi Tian's lead, the swordmaidens found a shop that looked the most magnificent and had the best food and rushed in, shocking all the staff in the shop. As for the other customers in the shop, they all fled from the door. Soon, only Guhan and his group of customers were left in the shop.
"Trouble!" Seeing that the staff in the shop were also preparing to flee, Guhan couldn't help but frown.
It was fine if the customers ran away, so as not to disturb them while they were eating. But if the staff ran away, who would cook for them?
So, as soon as the sword qi in Guhan's body moved, all the entrances and exits of the restaurant were sealed by Guhan's sword qi. The staff who were preparing to flee in panic directly hit their heads on Guhan's sword qi.
At first, they thought that they had hit the glass, but when they found that the glass door was still open, and what was blocking their way was actually a gas, they were so scared that their bodies went limp. They looked at Guhan and the others in horror, as if they were afraid that Guhan would turn into a monster and be eaten alive by them.
"Come here!"
Guhan's voice echoed throughout the entire restaurant. Although Guhan could read Fusang's language, he couldn't speak it, so in the end, he still blurted out Chinese.
However, there were only a few Fusang people who understood Chinese, so Guhan's words directly became the voice of the devil in the ears of these waiters. It was more like a curse that urged them to die, making these waiters even more frightened. Some of the timid ones even peed themselves.
"It's over … What is he saying … Will he kill us?" These waiters said in horror.
"He seems to be calling us over …" A waiter hiding in the corner suddenly said in a trembling voice.
"Tianjun, do you know this devil's language?" Hearing this waiter's words, the other waiters immediately asked in a panic.
"That … This doesn't seem to be the devil's language. It's our country's Chinese!"
The waiter said in a low voice. It turned out that this waiter was actually a Chinese. No wonder he could understand Chinese.
"Baka!
Chinese people are really devils! "
Hearing that this language was Chinese, a waiter who was born to dislike China and was full of hatred for traditional ethnic groups immediately said.
"Hehe …" The Chinese waiter laughed dryly. This was already the norm for him. The hatred between two countries was not so easy to get rid of. When he was in his own country, he often called the Japanese "Japanese".
However, just as the waiter just said that Chinese people were devils, he covered his throat in the next second as if something was strangling his neck. He began to breathe heavily as if he was about to suffocate.
"It's over!
This is a devil, this is a devil's curse! "Seeing this waiter's reaction, the other waiters suddenly screamed.
"Alright, I just blocked his vocal cords. I don't want to hear his voice!" Guhan's voice sounded in the restaurant again.
"Changsheng Jun, this devil … No, this god, what did he say?
Can you translate it for us? "
The waiter instinctively wanted to say the word 'devil', but when he recalled that the unlucky guy had only uttered a single devil incantation and became suffocating, he immediately swallowed the word 'devil' and replaced it with a respectful 'Lord God'.
"God, he said that he only sealed Oike-kun's vocal cords. Oike-kun's life will not be in danger!" The waiter quickly translated.
"You, come here!"
Gu Han could not be bothered to continue messing around with these Japanese. His sword ladies were starving, so he simply used a Sword Qi to capture the Huaxia man and bring him in front of him.
"Ask them to serve me the best food in your restaurant. Give me as much as you have. Do you hear me?" Guhan said coldly.
"Yes!
Yes!
Understood!
Understood! "
The Chinese waiter, who was still in shock, immediately nodded and bowed. Then, he returned to the other waiters and told them about Guhan's request. The other waiters immediately rushed into the kitchen and began to prepare dishes for Guhan.
"Oh!
It seems that I have become the Yuan Kou of this world! "Seeing the mess in the restaurant, Guhan touched his chin and said with a wry smile.
