Time-traveling island

The four women stood on a reef in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, having already met each other. Lin An introduced them to one another:

"This is Miss Wang Wanxiu from the Great Shun Kingdom. She is from Wu County, and her father was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations)."

"A Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination)?! So Miss Wang comes from a scholarly family!"

What is a Jinshi (进士)?

Lin An had barely finished speaking when Amber and Su Zhuoyao each asked a question. The latter clearly knew about the Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) and looked at Wang Wanxiu with a hint of admiration.

After hearing Lin An's translation, Amberley understood Jinshi as a scholar.

Wang Wanxiu felt a little shy when the young man called her by her first name.

After the introductions, Lin An asked Su Zhuoyao, "Miss Su doesn't look like an ordinary person. Are you a cultivator?"

The information from the spaceship's core indicated that she was a hundred years old, but judging from her appearance, she was only eighteen or nineteen, young and beautiful.

Su Zhuoyao glanced at Amber before carefully replying, "I have practiced breathing exercises since childhood... Judging from Miss Amber's appearance, she seems to be... a demon?"

She had already seen the giant fish demon in the sea, this pointy-eared Amberlie, who resembled a long-eared rabbit demon—although her ears were more pointed than a rabbit's.

Seeing that Lin An, being a human, did not reject her, a hint of excitement flashed in Su Zhuoyao's eyes:

The outside world isn't that scary; the mother-in-law is just trying to frighten them.

"Is this lady talking to me?" Amberley turned to ask him.

"Well!"

Lin An was at a loss. How could he translate the demon race in the cultivation world into a race that the elves could understand?

So he could only vaguely reply, "Miss Su is asking if you are an orc."

Amberley glanced at Su Zhuoyao, shook her head and said, "I am not a beastman, but a high elf."

"Elves? Are they plant spirits?" This time it was Su Zhuoyao's turn to be confused.

Lin An didn't want to translate back and forth anymore, so he quickly smiled and said, "As you can see, I'm currently stranded at sea, and the reason I invited you here is to ask you for a favor."

After a pause, Lin An looked at Wang Wanxiu, "As for the reward, I will definitely find a way to thank the three of you after I get out of trouble!"

Wang Wanxiu quickly waved her little hand to indicate her refusal.

She has no magic or cultivation skills, and she cannot accept rewards without merit. What she has seen and heard today has broadened her horizons.

Su Zhuoyao looked at the fish demon not far away, refraining from asking whether it was a monster or what kind of monster it was. She simply looked at Lin An with her clear black and white eyes and said, "There is no spiritual energy here. If there are no monsters in the sea, I can take the Immortal Lord... take you to the bottom of the sea."

She changed how she addressed me.

After all, it's rather strange to call someone a celestial lord who can't even go into the sea.

Thank you.

Lin An looked at Wang Wanxiu and asked them, "Could we bring Miss Wang along? I'm worried something might happen later."

Wang Wanxiu didn't want to cause him any trouble, but after hearing the last sentence, she had no choice but to follow the arrangement.

After a brief discussion, Lin An and the others quickly decided that, under Amberriel's magical protection, they would be led by the giant octopus to dive into the sea.

Su Zhuoyao will intervene again if there is danger.

"Walk!"

Lin An was somewhat impatient.

I wonder what a spaceship from a high-dimensional civilization with the ability to travel through time and space would be like!

Amberley chanted a magic incantation, and a light blue ripple blessed Lin An and Wang Wanxiu.

"Young master!"

Wang Wanxiu was a little nervous. After all, she was just the daughter of an ordinary county magistrate and had never experienced anything like this before.

However, she was not one to back down in the face of danger. When Lin An grabbed her hand, she resolutely followed Miss Su and jumped onto the giant octopus's head.

"Aww~!"

The giant octopus understood Lin An's meaning. Its enormous body quickly submerged beneath the surface of the sea, swimming towards a place it remembered.

The deep sea can easily instill fear, but fortunately, Amberley's magic isolated the seawater, and a layer of light enveloped the four of them. Lin An felt as if he were walking in a dark fog, unable to distinguish up from down from left from right. The powerful elf girl and the immortal cultivator Su Zhuoyao beside him were calm and composed, only a little curious because it was their first time in the sea.

Wang Wanxiu disregarded the traditional boundaries between men and women, gripped his hand tightly, and nervously watched their surroundings.

Soon after, Lin An and the others arrived at the dark seabed, where there was no light, only fish skeletons and unknown fish hiding there.

"We've reached the seabed." Su Zhuoyao glanced at Lin An. In fact, she had been on guard the whole way, afraid of falling into some kind of formation.

Amberley was also watching silently.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Lin An wanted to communicate with the giant octopus, but the magic only allowed the four of them to communicate; the giant octopus outside the range couldn't hear him.

Fortunately, the distance was sufficient!

He took out the spaceship's core and silently chanted to start the spaceship.

One second, two seconds.

The seabed is quiet and peaceful.

"Strange, did this guy find the core here? Could he have gotten the location wrong?"

Lin An muttered to himself, and seeing no response, he couldn't help but click "Build Base" again.

This time, there was finally some movement around!

A deep red light emerged from the ground, and under the sight of Lin An and the other three, the red light spread rapidly, followed by a gush of scorching magma!

"Danger!" While Su Zhuoyao was still stunned, Amberley summoned a verdant tree branch and swung it towards the lava below, chanting a spell: "Frost: Stand Firm!"

It slightly blocked the lava.

"Aww!!"

The giant octopus's enormous tentacles contracted, and its body suddenly shot upwards, carrying the four people away at high speed.

Lin An looked down and saw that the gushing lava had spread for an unknown distance, accompanied by strong tremors, as if something had emerged from the seabed.

The next moment, the thing caught up with them, and with the giant octopus on its back, it broke through the seawater and rushed out of the sea surface at high speed.

An underwater earthquake unleashed waves ten meters high, the seawater surged, the reefs where they had been standing were destroyed, and the ground continued to rise. Lin An and the three of them, along with the giant octopus, were lifted off the ground and soared into the sky hundreds of meters high.

Huge waves surged.

The waves spread outwards in concentric circles, forming a tsunami in the Pacific Ocean, stretching for thousands of miles.

Lin An couldn't care less about that.

He was dizzy and disoriented, and it took him several minutes to finally stand up. He then helped Wang Wanxiu, who had been holding his hand tightly, to her feet.

The giant octopus lay sprawled on the ground, its tentacles limp and lifeless.

Amberley had been separated from them and was now flying back from afar. A moment later, Su Zhuoyao's lithe figure appeared before Lin An, her eyes filled with astonishment as she asked, "Young Master Lin, are you a reincarnation of a Celestial Lord?"

At this moment, Immortal Lin finally retrieved the immortal treasure he had left at the bottom of the sea in his previous life!

Lin An shook his head, looked around, his eyes filled with shock:

A massive, unbelievably huge spaceship stood atop an island!

The spaceship was not fully exposed above the sea surface, but the bow section was already hundreds of meters high. The hull was still covered by a large amount of coral, gravel, and silt. The exposed hull was silvery-white, but unfortunately, the whole thing was not visible.

Lin An looked down at the island that had emerged below. It was probably seventy or eighty miles long and wide, and there were about ten smaller islands of varying sizes.

In other words, when he chose to "build a base", the island was created along with the spaceship, turning from a reef that could only support three or four people into a large island comparable to Hawaii!

He simply couldn't imagine the reactions of countries around the world after they found out about this!

Even if the technology on the alien spaceship cannot be deciphered in the short term, the island itself is of great strategic value!

"Young master, young master!"

Wang Wanxiu called his name twice. Lin An took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and smiled at her, saying, "I'm fine, I'm just... a little shocked!"

Amberley nodded slightly, looking at the spaceship covered in mud at her feet and the island below the mountain, and said, "An unimaginable miracle, Mr. Lin, you created an island in the sea with a divine artifact!"

Only treasures created by the gods can possess such power!

"This isn't my achievement; it's its."

Lin An calmed himself down and picked up the spaceship core to examine it. A message had just entered his mind, but he hadn't had time to look at it closely.

The core provides the following prompt:

"Spaceship activated. Numerous malfunctions detected. Please inspect the hull."

"Flight records are missing."

"Key information is missing."

"Spaceship access authentication function lost. Re-authenticate. Do you want to authenticate as the operator?"

The controller? The captain?

Lin An didn't hesitate and chose to get certified!

Although this spaceship is filthy and has been submerged at the bottom of the sea for who knows how many years, the small portion of its remaining capabilities is enough to shock eight billion people on Earth!

It also shocked the little girl from ancient times, the elf girl from the magical continent, and the cultivator Su Zhuoyao.

"Verification complete. You are now the captain. Please configure the spaceship's functions according to your preferences."

After the spaceship was certified, Lin An had no time to be happy. Immediately, a warning message popped up: "The spaceship is missing a large number of functions. Captain, please summon maintenance personnel for troubleshooting and repair."

"..."

Lin An glanced at the ship that had just emerged from the seabed. This thing wouldn't be repaired for at least a hundred or two hundred years.

Fortunately, some functions still work.
