Chapter 1886: Chapter 851: Eternal Fate
When Rod opened his eyes, the battlefield cleaning was also near completion.
The fall of the Black Fog Primordial Body caused the entire Black Domain to cease to exist, and the fragments of the Fallen Ship also vanished, making this once terrifying area now so "clean," even safer than many human-occupied zones.
And Saint Longde also reaped the expected rewards; beneath the area of the Fallen Ship, they discovered rich spiritual treasures. According to scholars who accompanied them, this area harbors at least three super-large veins, with proven reserves of over ten billion tons and all of excellent quality.
This also verifies, in some way, Saint Longde’s mineral theory; ordinary minerals, under the long-term influence of a strong Spiritual Energy environment, gradually form spiritual veins.
The influence of special Source Law will interfere with the type of minerals—in this area, the mineral types are mainly Star Stone, Star Marrow, and Star Iron Ore Veins, with a few Star Light Ruby and Sun Stone.
Rod knew that these ordinary spiritual materials are the foundation of everything. Without them, the human kingdom could not operate; Fuel Element and Fire Kindling could not be made, and higher grades of Pure Star Marrow, Star Source, Moon Spirit Gem, and Light Stone could not be refined, and without these higher elements, humans wouldn’t have so many strong individuals.
It can be said that these resources are the basis of the existence of the human kingdom.
This is very close to the Dream Realm, but the Dream Realm is another system; it uses Soul as the raw material, utilizing its decomposition. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Soul Without Spirit is the most basic resource of the Dream Realm, and the Book of Knowledge consumes a lot daily just to repair the Dream Realm and maintain the operation of the Obelisk.
But everyone seemed somewhat disappointed, as they didn’t find the thing prophesied by the Great Shepherd Leader; the whole land was bare, devoid of any special existence that could reveal the origin of the disaster.
And although the fall of the Black Fog Primordial Body caused a spread of the black fog, the Eternal Night did not end or weaken, which meant the overall strength of the black fog did not change; the sun, moon, and stars were still obscured. Unless using a telescope from an observatory, the starry sky was still not visible.
"What on earth is going on?"
After several unsuccessful attempts, Rhein complained in annoyance.
"Could the Great Shepherd Leader’s prophecy be wrong?"
Romano shook his head, "Impossible, I don’t believe it; the prophecy can’t be wrong, the only error might be with us."
"But what here can unveil the source of the disaster? This wasteland is cleaner than my wife’s butt."
Romano nodded in agreement, "You’re right; it is indeed cleaner than your wife’s butt... uh, I mean, perhaps something is hidden underground that we haven’t found."
"Underground? Impossible. Our spiritual explorations have gone tens of thousands of yards underground. If it’s beyond this range, it wouldn’t be related to the Fallen Ship anymore. The Great Shepherd Leader’s prophecy couldn’t be pointing to here; it would be directly pointing underground."
Everyone started to discuss, proposing all sorts of possible or impossible guesses.
Only Solos remained silent, staring at the barren ground—where the Black Fog Primordial Body died—though it appeared empty, it seemed as though he saw something very earnestly.
Rod noticed Solos’ anomaly and asked softly, "Lord Solos, did you see something?"
Solos said gravely, "The space here isn’t right; my vision is refracting."
Rod furrowed his brow, focusing on the scene, and after a long time, he indeed found the problem. When his sight passed through that space, there was an extremely slight deviation, like an invisible water surface there, yet this disparity was less than ten-thousandth of a speck of dust. If Solos’ perception wasn’t sharp, it would’ve been impossible to detect.
"What is this?"
Everyone also sensed something wrong and gathered around.
Solos answered gravely, "Small folds in space indicate there is another new half-plane or independent space within this layer of space."
Everyone’s expression became solemn; Rhein said softly, "That will be troublesome. Such an independent space at this level will require significant effort to anchor and enter."
Romano nodded slightly, "Even if Space Explorer Bain returns, it would take at least a month."
Upon hearing this, a thought suddenly struck Rod. To his knowledge, this kind of half-plane is a special space attached to the Main Plane and isn’t essentially different from the Spirit Realm—the only problem is the difficulty in determining the spatial position.
But don’t I have the Spirit Realm Ship?
With its power fully restored, can’t it traverse all spatial fractures and plane barriers? How would it struggle to find a mere half-plane?
"Everyone, perhaps I can give it a try."
Rod stated calmly; as his mind moved, the Divine Power touched the Spirit Boat, and a white mist quickly enveloped him. In an instant, he broke through the shackles of space, piercing the barrier of the plane, descending into the depths of the space like a flash of light.
A phantom of emptiness unfolded before him, and the repulsion of the spatial position surged instantaneously. Roaming between the plane and the plane would face immense spatial pressure, but the Spirit Realm Ship shielded Rod from this pressure. It carried him as he traveled through this gap, soon locating the main cause of the spatial fold.
There was a gray stone, solidified in the gap of this space, appearing like a speck of dust in the boundless void.
