Chapter 694: Traversing the Void
Chapter 694: Traversing the Void
After Lindsey let go.
The Moon Tear slowly merged into the root system of the Purple Vine Branch.
The two adventurers bid farewell to the Celestial Staircase and the Barren World, stepping forward through the void, treading upon the vines.
Confirming that Remote Fun was functioning without issues.
Along the way, Lindsey tried out several other modules.
First, the skills he successfully unlocked could be used by Alice without any barriers.
However, for skills like the Hunting Ledger in the Hunting Simulation, Alice had to manifest it herself, and the content within was blank.
The hunting data needed to be filled in by the holder, and naturally, there were no achievements or item rewards either.
The same logic applied to the text records in the Galgame; Alice couldn't see any past information.
In summary, the module seeds provided by Lindsey were all blank skill panels. They allowed the equipped user to utilize corresponding skills, but the prey, music scores, or synthesis formulas required the holder to collect them.
Additionally, there was a time limit to this skill.
Unless Lindsey was in constant company with the user, the limitations were quite evident.
"To become stronger, a gamer must keep playing the game."
"The more I think about it, the more sense it makes!"
The two Awakened Ones' speed surpassed the growth rate of the Purple Vine Branch.
After a few minutes, they reached the end of the vine's growth.
Less than three meters ahead, the purple-black void was constantly torn and extended, like searching for a ring that had just fallen into a pile of garbage bags, digging deeper and deeper.
"..."
Lindsey looked around.
Although he had traversed worlds before, his past experiences were limited to traveling through stable connections between worlds.
Seeing the void being forcefully opened up, he discovered many new phenomena.
The void during the tearing process was inherently unstable.
Occasionally, rifts would appear, and even the lightning seemed to strike from the void towards the real world.
However, the separation between the two worlds was too strict.
This final layer of separation also possessed a special concept, preventing it from being breached by the disturbances within the void.
Lindsey naturally switched to the Puzzle Game module.
A white light flickered before his eyes.
[Void - An infinite realm enveloping the world, with concepts opposite to the normal world, making it difficult for normal things to survive within.]
[Temporal Rift - The temporal laws within the void collide, creating unstable rifts that appear as lightning from the outside world's perspective.]
[Void Life - Life born within the void, their life forms make it difficult for their bodies to break through the separation, entering the real world.]
"Huh?"
Lindsey's eyes widened.
He followed the white light of the void life and saw only a shadow, which quickly disappeared from his sight.
Alice, standing beside him, immediately asked:
"Lindsey, what's wrong?"
Lindsey was straightforward. He squeezed the Puzzle Game module seed for an hour and threw it onto the Righteous Girl.
The next second, Alice, with the changed module, also fell into a state of contemplation.
Her gaze swept across the void in front of her, and she saw the same introduction as Lindsey.
In the Righteous Girl's cognition.
This information should have been recorded in the City of Law.
But now, the city was closed to the outside world, and even someone of her status couldn't go there to study.
With the help of Lindsey's skill and what she witnessed with her own eyes.
Alice truly understood this knowledge related to the void.
"Alice, we can combine this information to gain some more interesting insights."
Lindsey reminded her as he began to operate the module.
As the information about the Void coalesced before him, Lindsey couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed—how could he resist the temptation!
[The Will of the Void—The Void constantly covets the real world, always attempting to breach this barrier, but to little avail.]
"This setting is so classic," Lindsey couldn't help but quip.
Fortunately, this was the real world.
If it were a game, a major update would likely bring a DLC called "Void Invasion"!
Alice, misunderstanding Lindsey's thoughts, began to console him:
"Lindsey, don't worry."
"Although the Void is dangerous, there are also Nine-Stage Awakeners in the Infinity Beyond. If a crisis were to threaten the entire universe, they wouldn't stand idly by. In the face of such beings, this is nothing to worry about."
Lindsey immediately recalled his encounter with the Seven Seas Alliance.
Not to mention the Ninth Stage, but the mere existence of the Eighth Stage was already beyond normal comprehension.
As for the Void...
Lindsey agreed with Alice, shrugging his shoulders to dismiss his concerns.
The Purple Vine Branch continued to grow.
Lindsey's playful spirit surged, and he sat cross-legged on the vine branch, enjoying the peculiar 'breeze' blowing from the Void.
Alice smiled and sat down beside him.
They were like travelers at the bow of a ship, venturing into a truly unknown realm.
About half an hour passed.
The growth of the Purple Vine Branch slowed, and Lindsey and Alice saw a hazy shadow appear on the other side of the Void.
[World Shadow—Just beyond the Void lies a brand-new world, separated by an extremely short distance.]
[Dust Path World] was undoubtedly on the other side.
But the Purple Vine Branch beneath Lindsey and Alice had stopped growing.
They stood up and looked down.
[World Bridge—A special plant is growing, but the source of its life energy has been exhausted. It will take five years of natural growth to fully connect the two worlds.]
Lindsey and Alice exchanged a glance, both instinctively combining the information.
They immediately learned something new.
The countless worlds in the universe are relatively positioned, and some are conceptually closer to each other. When connecting, they won't interfere with other worlds but will restore their own passages.
But now, a thin and dangerous Void stood before them.
Unless they waited for five years, they would have to forcefully pass through this Void to successfully enter the Dust Path World on the other side!
[Fragile Void Barrier—It's extremely dangerous for flesh to pass through; only Fifth-Stage and above Awakeners can ensure their safety.]
"Ha—"
"I guess I came just in time."
Alice also had the Puzzle Game module, and upon seeing this message, she directly extended her right hand to Lindsey:
"Come on, I'll take you there this time."
Lindsey didn't hesitate and reached out his hand, their palms clasping together.
He immediately felt Alice's Righteous One skill, a warm and determined will surrounding him.
Then, Lindsey took the final step forward.
Whoosh—
In an instant, his vision pierced through the purplish-black Void.
Protected by Alice's skill, Lindsey felt no discomfort.
The black sky receded around him, and a dazzling orange-yellow light approached.
Lindsey stood firmly on solid ground.
He looked up, only to be surprised that he couldn't see the sky.
Bear—
Without any time to react,
A ball of fire appeared in the distance, rushing towards the two who had just arrived in this world!
