# Chapter 720: The Power of the Star Map!
Ten times the Gravity pressed down equally on the four individuals Inside the Court.
The next second.
Esdeath's legs bent, causing her Expression to change drastically, but immediately her Gaze turned sharp, and gritting her teeth, she forcefully withstood the Pressure, her Body slowly rising amidst trembling.
Even using Haki, she could only barely stand in place, but moving became somewhat difficult.
Historia here first suddenly half-knelt on the ground. Only after she released her Armament Haki did she struggle to stand up, though her upper body was still somewhat bent downwards.
What surprised Im was.
Aside from her legs trembling slightly, Stussy's entire Figure stood straight there, and even the Smile on her face remained, without the slightest loss of composure.
He seemed to have underestimated the Strength of his Secretary-General.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Her Haki and Martial Arts were among the Luminaries of CP9, coupled with her Mini-Mini Fruit Ability and the recently acquired 'Imperial Arm: Blood Collection', her overall Strength could be considered that of an Expert even within CP0.
Even the current Esdeath would find it unlikely to defeat Stussy.
"Adjust it to five times."
"Yes."
As Stussy's trembling small hand pressed the Remote Control a few times, the two Searchlights above instantly turned off, also making the surrounding Purple Light lighter.
"Hoo—"
Esdeath and Historia only felt their Bodies lighten. Although still somewhat heavy, with the Support of Haki Strength, basic movement was not an issue.
"From now on, you will Train/Exercise under five times Gravity. Try not to use Haki."
"However, the location will be on the second floor. This first floor is for the 'Giant God Soldier', 'Kuja Guards', and Doflamingo to use. The third floor belongs to me alone. Except for Stussy, no one is allowed to enter without permission."
After speaking, Im didn't pay attention to Esdeath and Historia's somewhat strange Expressions and looked at Stussy, whose eyes held tenderness.
"Have the Personnel from the Academy of Science use Kizaru's Ability to build me a few devices that can emit Light Beams, and then install them in the Gravity Training Ground on the third floor."
He remembered that Vegeta trained by dodging Laser attacks in a Gravity Environment.
This indicated that doing so was definitely helpful for increasing Strength.
"Huh?"
However, Im's words caused Stussy and the other three women's faces to lose color. They found it hard to imagine how they could, in such a heavy Environment, dodge the Light Ability of that Admiral Kizaru.
Not to mention, Lord Imu's Gravity multiplier is definitely ten times or more!
"Hmm, simple Gravity is a bit boring. Let me know when it's ready." After speaking, Im turned around and instantly disappeared from the spot, returning to his Study Room.
His Body leaned back in the chair, and he slowly closed his eyes.
He needed to think about a few Matters.
First was the planning of his upcoming Time. Currently, there was nothing like the 'Time Chamber', so his Time each day was twenty-four hours, just like everyone else.
Because there were quite a few Matters to attend to, he adjusted his Cultivation Matters to one item per day.
That is to say.
Aside from the Government Report which required daily attention, for Medical Arts, Swordsmanship, Martial Arts, Op-Op Fruit Ability, and the newly appeared Alchemy, he dedicated one day's Time to each.
For example.
Most of yesterday's Time was spent Researching the unique Medical Arts from the Imperial Arms World, then tomorrow he would Train/Exercise the various Abilities of the Op-Op Fruit.
In Im's view, this approach was far better than dividing them into a few hours and filling them into the twenty-four hours of the day to be done sequentially. It allowed his Attention to be highly focused on a certain Matter.
Therefore, he required all Universities, Academies, and Schools under the World Government to conduct classes this way.
Don't just learn Biology for an hour, then immediately go learn Physics, and then have a Mathematics class, constantly interrupting a student's interest in a certain subject that had just arisen not long ago.
If things continued like this, it would be a miracle if they could like Learning.
On the contrary, this Learning Pace of one subject per day made it easier for students to find what they liked, where their Talent lay, and fully experience the Joy of absorbing and mastering Knowledge.
Anyway, this was what Im believed, so the entire World had to operate according to his ideas!
Then there was...
A strong Sense of Danger arose in Im's Heart!
The source of this Sense of Danger was naturally that 'Truth', or rather, 'Truth''s statement made him think deeply with fear.
Think about it.
What did 'Truth' say at that time?
It said that the reason it didn't directly enter the 'Star Gate' was because it had to obey the 'Principle of Equivalent Exchange', and therefore needed the consent of him, the owner, and pay a Price that both parties considered equivalent.
But the problem was, Im didn't think that the Gods and Demons of the future would also need to obey the 'Principle of Equivalent Exchange'.
What if they just barged in then?
Indeed, his previous Decision not to be the first to enter the Star Gate was correct.
Now it seemed that when Exploring the New World, it would be best not to even stay in this Titan World, but to be directly on the Sea Star Mainland, and then, after confirming that the opponent wasn't a Gods and Demons he couldn't resist, proceed with the Operation.
Im thought secretly in his Heart. Immediately, he muttered to himself, "Is there a better Method?"
Star Map!
He suddenly opened his eyes. As a Transmigrator, when faced with uncertainty, he should naturally first see if his 'Golden Finger' could solve it.
[Do you want to view the Settings Page?]
This was the response given by the 'Star Map'. Im naturally had no hesitation.
"Yes!"
The next moment, a Virtual Screen with a dynamic Milky Way as the background appeared before his eyes. Within it were options for whether various settings related to the Star Map were enabled.
Soon, among these complex options, he found the Function he needed at the moment.
[High-Dimensional, High-Rule, High-Energy Existence passing through the Star Gate requires Host review and consent. (On/Off)]
He saw that it was currently still in the 'Off' state. After Im looked at its detailed Explanation, he directly turned it On without hesitation.
This way.
In the future, no matter what Rank of Gods and Demons Big Shot, they wouldn't be able to trespass through the Star Gate. This way, the World Government would at most need to Sacrifice the Personnel who had already entered.
However, this option clearly pointed out that it targeted 'High-Dimensional, High-Rule, High-Energy' Existences, so Otherworld Creatures that didn't meet this Condition could still freely barge in.
This would require the Combat Power below to be responsible for Interception.
Despite this, it still gave Im a sufficient Sense of Safety. In the following Time, he began to check the Explanations of these setting options one by one.
"Huh?"
Im saw two settings related to 'Star Fate' inside.
[Do you want to designate a Planet covered by 'Star Fate' to merge with another Planet covered by 'Star Fate'? (Yes/No)]
[Do you want to designate a Planet covered by 'Star Fate' to become a Satellite of another Planet covered by 'Star Fate'? (Yes/No)]
After he finished reading the detailed Explanations of these two options, an expression of astonishment immediately appeared on his face: "It can do this?"
The meaning of the first one.
Simply put, it was to relatively smoothly merge one Planet with another Planet, then the Volume of the latter would naturally increase.
The Continents of the former would appear in a certain Sea Area he designated, while the Ocean would merge with the Ocean of the latter, and then, amidst the fierce slaughter between the Marine Creatures of both sides, form a new Ecology chain.
And the Function of the second one was also incredibly powerful.
It actually said it could make a Planet appear from its Star Sector in the Star Sector where another Planet was located, and then become a Satellite orbiting and rotating around the latter.
What astonished Im was, how would the Gravity and Tracks involved be handled?
But this 'Star Map' didn't Explain the principles behind it, as if saying it could do it meant it definitely could.
"So when I've stayed in this 'Titan World' for a full three years Time, I can choose whether to merge it into a part of the World, or make it the World's ninth Satellite?"
Im hadn't expected that his seemingly 'ordinary' 'Golden Finger' actually possessed such terrifying Divine Ability!
"That's not right, back when I first transmigrated, I seem to have seen this Settings Page as well, but it didn't seem to have these options inside."
Im thought for a moment and seemed to have found the key. Back then, he hadn't activated the 'Star Fate' Function yet.
Then these options that came with 'Star Fate' definitely weren't there either.
"I've been in this 'Titan World' for almost two years now, so how should I make the Choice then?"
To be honest.
He was now really looking forward to witnessing the Great Power displayed by the 'Star Map'. This was something that would truly decide the Fate of two Planets.
