The Apostle of the Astral Realm
Chaptre 003. Mould

"What kind of empty muzzle is this?"

A large neon panel floated quietly in front of him. Zhou Jing was attracted to him, and his face was full of shock as he read it.

The panel was light blue, and there seemed to be tiny lines that looked like electronic circuits on it. However, a closer look showed that there was nothing there.

Zhou Jing suddenly felt a strong deja vu.

Why is it so similar to the gaming interface of the various immersive virtual games on the market?

Did I accidentally turn on the virtual game. But I did not wear a gaming helmet before I fell asleep, and this did not feel like I was entering a virtual game?

Zhou Jing stared at the LED panel in front of him, puzzled.

Buzz

At this moment, a large amount of information suddenly appeared in his mind, almost causing his mind to freeze.

After digesting the information for over ten minutes, Zhou Jing finally sorted out the contents of the message and understood the current situation and what the interface before him was for.

"This thing ... has the ability to travel between planes?"

Zhou Jing widened his eyes in disbelief. Only then did he confirm that he seemed to have faced an unimaginable situation.

This interface seems to be able to allow him to enter different planes ... Precisely, in the information he received, the plane was called "Astral Realm."

He did not enter with his real body. Instead, he had to make a different Astral Apostle. He had to project his consciousness into them and make the Astral Apostle his shell and mortal bearer.

The Astral Apostle has an independent body and is not related to the main body. Even if it died, it would not affect the main body. If an Astral Apostle dies, the interface will create a new Astral Apostle Interface. However, the cooldown period is uncertain.

As for being an Astral Apostle, he could gather two special resources each time he crossed the Astral Plane. The upper right corner of the interface shows the details.

[Astral Natural Points: 0]

[Explanation: Whenever the Astral Apostle participates in events and activities in the Astral Plane, it will cause automatic absorption of the free energy of nature. After undergoing a special processing method, it would be converted into a resource of "Astral Realm Points."]

[Particle Information Status: 0]

[Exposure: This resource will be generated when the actions of the Astral Apostles in the Astral Plane currently have a certain degree of influence]

Both of these resources have many functions. From the information he received, he understood that Astral Realm Points, or Astral Points in short, were “universal” currencies, and most functions used Astral Points.

As for the Information State Particles, they were even rarer 'special currencies.' They can only be obtained when certain special functions are triggered.

The interface for the Astral Apostle was divided into two parts, 'Profile of Traits' and 'Profile of Abilities.' The first is the personality of this template. When he used the Astral Apostle to travel with another plane, the more his actions matched the characteristics of this template, the more he could increase the synchronization rate of the bearer. It seemed like this would increase his efficiency in obtaining Astral Points and Particle Status Information.

'The 'Profile of Abilities' reflected the attributes and abilities of this apostle.

As it is not related to the main body, the Astral Apostle's abilities are the property of the host and will not be given to the main body. Only knowledge and memory are unrestricted. When he controlled the Astral Apostle to 'clean', the world would then undergo a qualitative change, allowing the results of the Astral Apostle's training to be selectively transferred to the main body.

The "clear" one was based only on Zhou Jing's own understanding. Current template displayed [Standard Permanent Apostle: 0/80]. This corresponded to how many Information State Particles he could obtain through this apostle.

This means that each Apostle must collect 80 Status Information Particles before this character can be considered "permanent." Only then could he turn his abilities into his main body and “cleanup” that area…

Completing the life goals of an apostle in the astral world is the most important way to "erase" the level.

If an ordinary Astral Apostle died, he would need to create a new template. However, if an Astral Apostle who had “cleared” the area died, their condition and accumulation before death would be fully preserved. He can still use this body to re-enter the Astral— Realmthis is the meaning behind the word “Eternal.”

So, if the Astral Apostle gains incredible strength and cleanses the area, I can inherit the power of the Astral Apostle ?

Zhou Jing roughly understood the function of the interface, and his eyes instantly lit up, his heart pounding.

Is this real life? Which god answers my call?

Isn't this my dream to be Super!

He has seen many strange abilities in the Super League program: spitting fire, spitting water, playing with snakes. But he had never heard of anyone who had the ability to travel between realms!

Therefore, Zhou Jing was unsure whether his Astral Realm Interface was his own awakening ability or another unknown phenomenon.

But whatever background or reason this panel had, it seemed like this was an opportunity for him to choose another life.

No matter how deep the water was, he had to catch it!

He keeps thinking about it. He did not think that a great power that could allow one to travel between realms was a plan to fight him.

"There's no point in worrying ..."

Zhou Jing took a deep breath.

At that moment, he felt as if he was looking at his own life. Right now, there was a crossroads that headed in a mysterious and unknown direction.

There might be risks, but Zhou Jing understood that regardless of the Astral Realm Interface, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"No matter what, I have to try first!"

Zhou Jing made up his mind. He searched through the interface control method and discovered that it was controlled by his consciousness. He immediately chose [Yes] on the interface.

The next moment, the interface changed.

The Properties and Abilities profile of this Astral Apostle is lined up on both sides, with most parameters showing [Adjustable] marks.

At the center of both profiles is a 3D holographic projection of the apostle's appearance.

He looked like a tall male with deep eye sockets and a tall nasal shaft. Although the race column indicated that he was from the Terra race and not the human race belonging to Zhou Jing, his appearance and temperament were not much different from humans from interstellar society.

In addition to projections, there are also parameters such as height and weight, which indicate that they can be adjusted.

"It really looks like a virtual gaming interface ..."

Zhou Jing's eyes twinkled, and he was suddenly tempted.

Zhou Jing thought about it and decided not to change the name "Will Wood." Finally, he changed the appearance of this apostle.

He purposely added a small bird-shaped tattoo on the inside of his forearm to end his prints.

[According to the Astral Apostle Model is complete!]

[Entertaining the preparation stage!]

[Astral Realm projected current: {Without Name} Number 001]

[Astral Flow Time: 4.2: 131.7]

[Astral Travel Duration: 6 hours (default)]

[Map Overview Mode enabled]

[Notice: Map overview mode covers only known areas, including but not limited to areas that the Apostle personally explored, or related maps that have been read, etc. Unregistered areas cannot be displayed.]

As information floods the screen, the Character Interface shrinks and disappears, replaced by a black interface. There's nothing to see. This was the current astral map of nature he was aiming for.

"I haven't explored this astral world, so the whole map is black?"

Zhou Jing understood.

The interface does not stop. A new message appears:

[Please select shipping mode, [Random Area Shipping/Specified Area Delivery]?]

[Notice: Since there is currently no known region in the Astral Plane, only [Random Area Shipment] is available.]

[Do you want to continue shipping?]

“At this point, it's time to travel officially.”

Zhou Jing took a deep breath. He was feeling somewhat nervous and hopeful.

He still doesn't know what really happened.? Is this really an illusion? Although he had just received basic interface abilities, he still did not know much. He could only understand it after experiencing it personally.

Now is the time to test the right effect…

"Yes!"

Whooshing

It was like lightning.

In the next moment, the space under this starry sky suddenly split apart, turning into a crack filled with colorful lights.

It was as if the starry sky had opened its mouth, and an incomparable suction force came from it!

Before Zhou Jing could react, he lost his balance and fell into a crack. He fell in the air as if he had been thrown into a washing machine.

The crack was filled with colorful colors, but under the terrifying falling speed, all the colors were drawn into streaks of light in his view. It was as if this place had turned into a colorful channel of flowing light.

Falling ... as if he were falling nonstop!

And in his rotating vision, he looked at the end of the gap with great difficulty.

It was a dark green forest from its position high in the sky. As it continued to fall, the scene quickly developed in its vision …
