Time-traveling island

In the United States, a phone call broke the silence of the White House office.

"Breaking news! An earthquake has struck the Pacific Ocean. An island has appeared at the epicenter, and a suspected alien spaceship has been discovered on it!"

"..."

The staff member in the office was silent for a moment before asking in a relaxed tone, "The weather is nice today. I think you should be in a good mood and very clear-headed, right?"

"In God's name, I swear this is true!" The officer from the intelligence agency said urgently, "The earthquake occurred three minutes ago. Our satellites detected unusual thermal and electromagnetic bursts and spent ninety seconds adjusting their orbits to focus. I'll send you a set of images shortly. This event is enough to shake the world; please report it to our esteemed President immediately!"

Moments later, the picture arrived, and the entire office gathered to witness this absurd scene:

Satellite images have captured a clearly visible, massive spaceship on an island comparable to Hawaii.

"God, what is this?"

The crowd gasped in disbelief.

Three minutes later, the news reached President Trump, and an emergency meeting was convened.

Shortly thereafter, the Joint Command raised the alert level to Level 3, and all personnel of the Pacific Command entered a state of combat readiness.

The same scene unfolded among major powers around the world; every country with earthquake monitoring agencies and Earth observation satellites detected changes somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

A spaceship belonging to a civilization outside of Earth has appeared on a brand new island!

Such momentous news could not be concealed, and in an instant, this explosive news quickly made headlines on major news media websites around the world.

……

On the island.

After seeing the three of them off, Lin An boarded the landing ship, then went up to the spaceship and tried to open the spaceship's hatch.

After studying it for a while, he realized that the spaceship actually had no hatch, or rather, there were entrances everywhere. He could open a gap anywhere and enter if he wanted, which was incredible.

Lin An chose to enter the spaceship from the very top of the raised bow.

As expected, the alien spaceship was indeed leaking, and the cabin was filled with mud, sand, rocks, and coral, making it very difficult to move around.

"Does the spaceship lack a self-cleaning function?"

He tried to move forward, but there were too many blocked areas, and it was not feasible to force the landing ships to come in and clear a path. He had no choice but to go out and head to the ship's warehouse instead. In the place where the landing ships had previously stored, he found some useful items.

Several "medical pods", some palm-sized small aircraft, and several things that could be started but whose function was unknown.

The medical cabin was the name he gave it. Its original purpose was related to creating life and endowing life with intelligence; treating the human body was just a secondary function.

"It's a pity that all of these instruments were destroyed."

Looking at the warehouse full of unusable instruments, Lin An felt a pang of regret, but he had no choice but to give up, turn around, and board the landing ship to descend to the ground.

He was hungry.

I haven't eaten all day, and I was so excited earlier that I forgot I was hungry. Now I'm starting to feel weak.

There was nothing on the island, not even wood to cook grilled fish. Luckily, when Amberley returned to the village to bring back food for Wang Wanxiu, she also brought him some fruit and snacks.

Lin An chose to sit down by the sea, eating fruit from the magical world while pondering some things.

After eating and drinking to your heart's content, lie down and rest.

Above his head, four landing ships hovered in the sky, like the Four Heavenly Kings of the Southern Heavenly Gate. No other fighter jet that flew over the island to observe the situation on the island could ignore their presence!

Yes, Lin An noticed fighter jets flying overhead two hours ago, and they have been there ever since.

Fighter jets, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and various types of aircraft from different countries arrived one after another, but none dared to linger, coming and going in a hurry.

"Aww!"

Hearing the commotion at sea, Lin An sat up and looked over, only to see a giant octopus struggling and churning the water.

He stared at him for a long time before he realized that this guy wanted to lie down and sleep like him...

Finally, the giant octopus chose to have half its body on the shore and half in the seawater, and then happily let out a "whoosh" at Lin An before collapsing into a limp body, ready to go to sleep.

It was still a small child and had no idea what the fighter jets flying overhead were.

Lin An lay back down. The moon hung high in the sky, shining on the sea. The waves crashed, and fighter jets flew by from time to time, but he couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.

He was thinking: What should I do tomorrow?

Should we release the alien technology and invite scientists from around the world to study it, or should we hand it over to our motherland?

Alternatively, they could keep it for themselves first and then announce it later when the time is right.

For some reason, an image suddenly popped into his mind:

Sunshine, beach, deck chairs, azure water and fine sand.

The words of the elven girl Amberriel echoed in his ears.

territory?

It's a good idea, but there are many things to consider when trying to transform a barren island into a livable city.

That night, Lin An thought a lot, and some ideas gradually began to form in his mind.

……

Luofeng Mountain.

A graceful figure appeared amidst a white light, followed by laughter: "Grandma, sisters, I'm back!"

In front of the stage, a group of fox demons gathered around.

"Sister Yaoyao is back!"

"Sister Xiaoyao, where did you go?"

"Has Sister Xiaoyao seen any of the cultivators outside?"

The demons rushed to ask questions, all looking expectantly at their sister, waiting for an answer.

Su Zhuoyao smiled and said, "I met a handsome immortal named Lin An. I'll tell you more about him later~"

As they spoke, they arrived in front of the old woman, took her sister's hand, and told her about their journey with a smile.

"Young Master, Young Master Lin, Immortal Lord Lin, Sister!" Her younger sister sidled up to her, giggling, "Is it Young Master Lin or Immortal Lord Lin?"

Su Zhuoyao couldn't answer, nor could she say whether Lin An was a celestial being or an ordinary person.

Seeing that her younger sister was about to persist, she quickly smiled at the old woman and said, "Grandma, do the cultivators outside really not associate with us fox demons?"

The old woman asked, "What kind of person is this Young Master Lin you met? Does he know you are a fox demon?"

Su Zhuoyao shook her head: "I didn't tell him, but Young Master Lin raised a strange-looking fish demon, and he said that everyone is equal, whether they are demons, elves, talisman cultivators, or sword cultivators, they are all the same, everyone is equal!"

"Equality for all?"

The old woman chuckled and said, "That's a very strange thing to say, something I've never heard before. But whatever, since he's raising a fish demon, he must be using it to enslave other demons. Why are you siding with him?"

Su Zhuoyao explained, "That fish demon has only just gained sentience and can't even speak yet."

The old woman frowned and asked, "What kind of demon is it?"

"I've never seen it either." Su Zhuoyao stretched out both hands, spreading her slender, long fingers in a claw-like gesture. "She has so many snake-like hands on her body!"

"What kind of fish demon is this?" Her sister had never seen one before, and the other little demons also shook their heads.

The old woman laughed and said, "It's not that you haven't seen it before; it's a kind of sea octopus." She then asked, "Would you like to see that young master Lin again next time?"

Su Zhuoyao nodded naturally. Although there was nothing on that island, the sense of novelty that Lin An brought her was something she couldn't experience in Luofeng Mountain.

"Grandma, I want to go with my sister too!" Su Zhuoyao's younger sister, the fiery red fox demon, pleaded, pulling at her.

A group of fox spirits who hadn't yet taken human form also expressed their desire to go, giving the old woman a headache. After clarifying some things with Su Zhuoyao, she finally nodded: "Since Xiaoyao trusts him, then take your sister Zhenzhen with you. But you still need to be careful. I heard you talking about spaceships, Earth, elves..."

The red fox Zhenzhen was no longer listening to any of the advice and hurriedly pulled her sister away, preparing to go to Young Master Lin's island to play the next day.
