Chapter 13

Ye Xuan had already heard from Gu Yincheng that soul-travel was extremely inhumane, so time administrators traveled to sub-worlds in person to perform their duties. However, traveling physically was very dangerous, and a slight mishap could result in being torn apart by temporal turbulence. Therefore, time administrators adopted a permanent residence method. Once a time administrator arrived in a sub-world, they would stay there for at least fifty years. For instance, in the cultivation world managed by Gu Yincheng, his term even reached two hundred years.

During his term, Gu Yincheng was responsible for arresting any illegal travelers in this world. Now that his term was coming to an end, he had to return and report on schedule, regardless of whether all the illegal travelers had been captured.

However, Gu Yincheng had always had a concern he couldn't resolve. After telling Ye Xuan, she was astonished: 「Are you saying that most of the travelers in the past hundred years were sent here as part of a plan?」

Gu Yincheng nodded: 「You know that soul-travel requires machinery support. Ordinary people wouldn't have specialized traveling machines at home, so there are many illegal traveling organizations among the people. Over the years, we have been cracking down on these organizations and found out long ago that a large multinational group is behind them. But in the main world, we only found clues, so I decided to start with these travelers.」

Through Gu Yincheng's investigation, he indeed found some clues. More than eighty percent of the soul-traveling travelers were sent here through a person known as Mr. He. This man was a famous traveling broker. A traveling broker is someone who sends Client A to World A, then waits for Client A to obtain the force, wealth, and other things needed before sending them to World B. By leveraging the differences in force values or the general environment between the two sub-worlds, the client could dominate World B.

This is why travelers were willing to spend large sums of money, even bankrupting themselves, to travel. Imagine being an ordinary person in the main world but becoming all-powerful in an alien world. Driven by human greed, who wouldn't want that?

However, such reckless actions would eventually lead to the collapse of the sub-world, thereby affecting the main world. Therefore, the government established the position of time administrators to relentlessly combat illegal traveling.

Unfortunately, due to the current level of technology, the mortality rate of time administrators was very high. Even though each one of them possessed great power, the small number of them couldn't prevent the rampant illegal traveling.

The solution to this predicament was simple: all time administrators should use soul-travel. But soul-travel involved taking over another's body, and if law enforcers did that, how could they justifiably arrest the lawbreakers?

Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask, 「Isn't there a way to make the original resident's consciousness temporarily sleep during the soul-travel of the time administrators, and then naturally awaken after the administrator completes their task and leaves?」

「What you mentioned is something we are also developing, but we haven't made a breakthrough yet, so we can only maintain the status quo.」

One of the consequences of maintaining the status quo was that the situation faced by time administrators was becoming increasingly dangerous. Gu Yincheng knew well that once his identity was exposed, countless travelers would want to kill him, which is why he left Qiong Hua as a decoy.

「You mean,」 Ye Xuan was startled, 「you want people to mistakenly believe that Qiong Hua is the time administrator?」 But Qiong Hua is so conspicuous, no time administrator would be that foolish...
