Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Both girls wore happy smiles. After working overtime for some time, the palace was nearing completion.

They've visited it many times, and each time they're amazed. It has to be said that America and Japan really spared no expense for this palace; all the designs are the work of masters.

Luxurious and grand in every detail, yet exquisitely crafted, it is irresistible at first glance.

After all, the original plan of both countries was to build a paradise on earth, a secluded haven, so that once this gentleman moved in, he would never want to leave.

Even Japan has secretly gathered a group of beautiful and intelligent girls from ordinary backgrounds, intending to arrange for them to work as maids there.

They certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to send out female agents or similar personnel whose trained skills wouldn't escape the man's notice; doing so would only backfire and provoke his resentment.

Therefore, their approach is to subtly influence people!

These girls were all exceptionally beautiful and highly educated; they were all first-rate beauties and had received higher education.

The government brought them together and only provided some basic training, without doing anything more. A seductive haven that corrupts their fighting spirit has already begun to be built in secret.

However, Miyazaki Yu was unaware of these things, and even if he had known, it wouldn't have mattered. Moreover, whether or not outsiders were allowed to enter required his approval.

"Miyazaki, really! You went to England to have fun without taking us with you. I saw it all. You're so mean! You took pictures of all the martial arts contestants and knocked them to the ground. There was even a pretty girl in there! How could you do that?"

Although Sonoko said that, the gloating smile on her face betrayed her. This must be very interesting, right?

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly. Sonoko usually seemed well-behaved, but she actually had a very cunning side. Hiding all those guys underground was exactly what she wanted.

"I never expected things to turn out this way. I thought that after making a deal with the British royal family, I would leave in a few days. I didn't expect these guys to take advantage of the situation and turn what was originally a small promise into a major event that has caused a sensation around the world."

However, since I've already agreed, there's no reason to go back on my word. I might as well make it a large-scale event. I also want to discover some good players from it, since, in my opinion, the current level of martial arts in the world is just too weak.

Cultivating some strong individuals is in the interest of all mankind.

Ran and Sonoko both nodded. They were both very intelligent girls, and their perspectives and insights, honed by a series of major events, were far beyond what ordinary girls could achieve.

This person's words and actions can indeed influence all of humanity.

"However, the reason why Sonoko and I didn't go to participate in such a lively event is because of you. You have to take responsibility for that," Ran said with a smile.

"Xiao Lan, how do you want me to take responsibility? Do you want me to teach you martial arts techniques? For you, my guidance is available anytime, anywhere."

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Xiaolan's front and back, making Xiaolan blush.

"Alright, alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I made plans with Sonoko to go to Mount Rakusakura tomorrow, and I'm also taking Aunt Miyazawa, Rena, and Ms. Miyano with us."

There are many new buildings there now, and lots of machines are being assembled, each one is huge, and many of them are being transported by military vehicles.”

"Okay, as long as you have fun, take lots of pictures and send them to my phone."

After the two girls nodded in agreement, they hung up the phone.

He flipped through a few pages of an ancient book and then put it down. These were some rare books collected by Great Britain. There were more than two thousand books on the three large bookshelves in the room. These were all selected by the royal family as gifts to him.

It has to be said that the British Empire, during its global plundering, actually acquired quite a few valuable items.

Many of these ancient books come from China, while others come from countries in continental Europe.

These are all extremely valuable, but for Miyazaki Yu, the content of these books is valuable, but the cultural relic value of these books themselves is not important.

"After I finish reading them, I will hand over all the books belonging to the Dragon Kingdom to Old Taoist Zhang so that he can take them back to the government."

A slight unease settled in his heart, a burning intensity coursing through him, a feeling that gave Miyazaki Yu a vague sense of unease.

He knew that, given his current level, he would never have such a feeling for no reason.

In other words, every feeling he has is actually a subtle influence brought about by some huge variable. A storm begins with a ripple, and all unease must have a reason. So what is that reason?

He gently pushed open the window, then stepped out. A sword shadow landed at his feet, then carried him away into the sky.

He was already very skilled at flying; he could now even fly directly using his physical body.

However, in terms of speed, it is still far inferior to flying on a sword.

It reached an incredible speed exceeding Mach 16, surpassing almost all man-made objects, and began its ascent into the sky.

Chapter 711 Cosmic Vacuum

His speed was so fast that he disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye, rising straight into the sky.

The air around us grew colder and colder, and a biting chill swept over us.

At this point, Miyazaki Yu had easily crossed the troposphere and entered the stratosphere, which is more than 16 kilometers above the surface.

Standing high in the sky, the whole world is shrouded in mist, with twinkling lights converging, smoke and flames swirling, and each light representing a family.

These countless lights coming together represent a region, a country, or even a continent and a civilization.

"This is the earth, this is the world, all the stories are here, everything you love, like, and hate is here."

A surge of immense pride welled up within him, and an indescribable feeling swept over him.

Looking down at the world, the world is also gazing at him. This world is in the palm of his hand, and this is the world he wants to protect!

Ever since he awoke from his deep sleep, he had always carried a faint sense of detachment from the world, as if there was an invisible barrier between him and the world.

He didn't feel any particular hatred towards those murderers; he would only expose them or deal with them when necessary.

If it weren't for the women who loved him—Beige, Ran, Sonoko, Sayuri, and Yukiko—his sense of alienation from the world might have grown even stronger.

After all, deep down, he had always viewed this world as an anime called 'Detective Conan,' even though he knew long ago that it was a real world, not an anime.

So he began to reflect on himself and the meaning of his existence, but he could never truly convince himself.

In that very instant, he saw the whole world, he saw the vibrant life of humanity.

He is now the strongest person in the world, and given his current physical strength and cell division rate, living for several hundred more years is not a problem.

Moreover, as time goes by and technology develops rapidly, his strength will not stagnate. The path to immortality may already be faintly in sight.

He lacked a goal, or rather, he faced a choice and decision that no one before him had ever encountered: a detached and ruthless approach that viewed people as pawns or ants.

Although this path is destined to be lonely, it will be free from any turbulence or troubles. Anyone who dares to offend you in the slightest will be killed with a single sword strike.

He could stand at the pinnacle of all beings, like the gods in mythology, receiving the worship of everyone and possessing all the resources in the world.

However, in this way, humanity will gradually fade away, turning into a true god, one who has lost all emotions, just like the Way of Heaven, having lost all warmth.

This is definitely not what Miyazaki Yu wanted!

If we want to protect and preserve everything we cherish, and if we want to safeguard human civilization and this beautiful blue planet, then we must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Having made up his mind, Miyazaki Yu felt a sense of ease and joy, and his sword speed increased even more.

In a short period of time, he had risen to the so-called middle layer of the atmosphere, where the temperature had dropped to around minus 80 degrees Celsius, which is a forbidden zone for ordinary humans.

However, this temperature was nothing to Miyazaki Yu, and he continued to ride his flying sword, soaring into the sky.

As he gradually ascended, the air became thinner and thinner, and the pressure on his body increased, because he was now leaving Earth!

His current speed is actually below escape velocity, also known as the second cosmic velocity. In fact, his current speed has not even reached the first cosmic velocity.

However, he is also extremely special. His method of flying on a sword is unprecedented. Therefore, even if his speed does not reach the escape velocity, he can still escape the Earth's gravity and reach such a high altitude.

However, this put an enormous strain on his body.

The immense pressure caused his muscles and bones to tremble; his body hadn't felt this kind of pressure in a long time.

However, this also aroused his competitive spirit.

"I'll see where my limits are!"

He immediately continued to steer the flying sword upwards, the pressure soaring while the temperature continued to drop. However, after reaching a certain level, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose again.

Miyazaki Yu knew that they had reached the thermosphere, which is almost the outermost layer of space on Earth. Above that is the exosphere, which is the last barrier between Earth and outer space.

Once you get there, you can truly peer into space!

Without the slightest hesitation, after a brief pause, he continued to steer his flying sword upwards. He was now like a fish leaping out of the deep sea, suddenly breaking through all obstacles and seeing a wider sky!

After about ten minutes, he could clearly feel that every pore on his body could no longer sense any air.

At that very moment, an extremely cold sensation nearly froze his entire body. Just then, a layer of crystal-clear liquid covered all areas of his body, instantly isolating him from all the cold.

"Sure enough, the temperature here is very close to absolute zero. Is this space?"

In that instant, he turned around and looked at the Earth behind him.

At this moment, the Earth was bathed in the light of the sun, and in Miyazaki Hayao's eyes, it was so magnificent that it was beyond description. It was a hundred or a thousand times more beautiful than the moon, which was like a silver plate!

That brilliant deep blue, that flowing splendor, all quietly tell the story of the magnificence of this human home planet!

No wonder people who see photos of Earth from outer space are always amazed by its beauty!

Miyazaki Yu was no exception at this moment!

Moreover, unlike those astronauts, he observed entirely with his own naked eyes, and the scenery he saw was far more magnificent and spectacular, something that no one else could possibly do.

Once in space, Earth's gravity almost disappeared for him. He was now suspended in the vacuum of space, gazing at Earth and at the vast, boundless, yet chillingly dark depths of space!

This is the universe, a place full of unknowns and mysteries. In the vast universe, Earth is as insignificant as a speck of dust. Even a tiny meteorite falling from the cosmos can pose a deadly threat to Earth.

So where does this deep-seated unease come from?

Just then, his mind suddenly went into overdrive, his whole body glowed with light, and he vanished from the spot. A huge shadow had already brushed past him at an unimaginable speed.

However, Miyazaki Yu clearly saw the shape of the shadow, which was actually a satellite!

The spot where he had just stood was likely the orbit of a satellite. If he hadn't noticed it and dodged it, this expensive satellite, even if it wasn't shredded into space debris by the sword, would have been destroyed in the collision.

Chapter 712 Chasing the Satellite (2nd Update!)

For Miyazaki Yu, this moment was nothing short of surprise; for the launch center on the ground, which was closely monitoring the satellite's every move, it was utterly terrifying, almost causing their hearts to burst.

Several senior experts even stood up abruptly, their hearts nearly giving way!

"W-what's going on? Why are there humans in space?!"

For these veteran experts, the sudden sight of such images being transmitted back from satellites was a more intense stimulus than the sudden appearance of a "Yo yo yo check it out" message in authoritative newspapers in some countries, which could stimulate their aging nerves.

The violent impact sent a shiver down their spines, making the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

But then, their brains started working quickly. They saw people in space. What did that mean?

This certainly signifies that there are humanoid life forms that have reached the cosmic level, just like the first amphibians to come to land from the ocean in ancient times. This is a new beginning!

Or perhaps, this is a life form from outer space!
