Chapter 250: The Spatial Passageway Is Gone?
Not long after, Tianhong Hao arrived at 【Holy Spirit Island】 outpost.
Wu Xian and his group also hurriedly set off on their return journey.
In Binhai City, panic had already set in, with roads full of desperate crowds trying to flee but not knowing where to go.
Screams and panicked voices could be heard everywhere.
Wu Xian and the others were inevitably affected by the atmosphere, pulling out their phones to access the network, where the signal was fine.
After all, this world’s internet was different from his previous life; essentially a kind of scroll painting black technology firmly controlled by the Mechanical Dojo.
The situation online was obviously no better.
Major social platforms and portal sites were filled with discussions and panic about the “Three Gods.”
The entire world was steeped in an atmosphere of “humanity utterly defeated.”
At the high-speed rail station, crowds were packed tight, the scene chaotic beyond description.
“What the heck? High-speed rail and all intercity lines fully closed?”
Wu Xian and the other three were secretly alarmed upon hearing this, forced to seek other ways.
“Why are intercity lines closed too?” Xue Lingling asked puzzledly. “Is it the Binhai City mayor’s order? Afraid of people fleeing chaotically?”
“Probably not that simple,” Xue Zhengying pondered. “Don’t forget that 【Emperor Spirit of the Void】.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling were greatly shocked.
“Second Brother means that spatial stitching and spatial passages between all cities have been affected too?”
“Very likely,” Xue Zhengying took a deep breath. “After all, that Great Dao Sound said the Emperor Spirit of the Void has taken control of Spatial Law. In the short term, Spatial Law will definitely change.”
At this moment, everyone realized that the impact of the “Three Gods” was far more complex than they had expected.
Wu Xian silently probed his 【Qiankun Bag】 with his intent and, finding it still usable, lightly exhaled.
This showed that the current changes to Spatial Law weren’t major.
Or rather, only some details and standards had changed; “high standard” spatial items and spatial technology were unaffected.
Like other dimension invasion rifts, and the 【Dimensional Gates】 of major cities, etc.
Or perhaps that Emperor Spirit of the Void was deliberately targeting humanity?
But if so, why not just exacerbate dimensional rifts everywhere? Why target intercity spatial lines specifically?
“Looks like we can only go through the Dimensional Erosion Zone.” Kun Youniang calmly suggested.
After all, she and Xue Lingling had come via the Dimensional Erosion Zone.
City spatial stitching failing didn’t mean they couldn’t return; it just reverted to original geographic positions and distances, and crossing the Dimensional Erosion Zone would be more dangerous.
“Speaking of which, Second Sister-in-law, what do you think of this?” Wu Xian curiously asked Kun Youniang.
“To this Empress, it’s neither good nor bad,” Kun Youniang said indifferently. “But for you humans, there will inevitably be some downsides.”
Xue Zhengying said seriously, “You mean those Three True Gods might target us humans?”
“Not to that extent,” Kun Youniang shook her head with a smile. “Those who become gods won’t have such narrow minds and vision; it’s just that many other dimension beings in the future will become increasingly powerful.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian and the other two lightly exhaled.
“Speaking of which, how do they become gods? Or rather, how do great demons from your otherworld become gods?” Wu Xian asked puzzledly.
“When divine power fragments in the body are cultivated and condensed to a certain extent, they can metamorphose into a Divine Spark.” Kun Youniang explained.
“So Second Sister-in-law has a chance in the future too?” Wu Xian couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Of course.”
Kun Youniang neither confirmed nor denied it.
“What about us humans then?” Wu Xian asked eagerly.
“Not likely,” Kun Youniang teased. “You humans seem different from the start; otherwise, you wouldn’t have developed something like the Extraordinary Scroll Painting. Of course~ Beloved Consort might have a chance in the future.”
“Different?” Wu Xian was puzzled.
“This Empress isn’t too clear on the specifics,” Kun Youniang shrugged. “From what I know, those upper world people have been seeking the answer to this question, but the result… well, you can imagine.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian fell into thought.
Were humans different from other otherworldly beings from the very beginning?
The upper world was also seeking this answer but hadn’t unraveled the mystery yet.
Otherwise, those becoming gods now would be upper class people, not the three otherworld big shots.
Returning to the 【Holy Spirit Island】 outpost, they found Holy Spirit Island already swamped by vast crowds.
They called the 【Sea-Shaking Giant Beast】 and sailed along the coastline, successfully reaching another coastline half a day later.
The ocean system monsters encountered along the way had clearly improved.
This was just the beginning; with time’s precipitation, ocean system monsters’ strength would grow stronger in the future.
“Is this the world humans once had?”
Looking out, the coastline and continent before them were utterly transformed by various other dimension erosions, with dense dimensional rifts crisscrossing between heaven and earth.
Scenes from different other dimension worlds were distortedly fused together.
With Insectoid Empress Kun Youniang leading the way, the low-level monsters in the Dimensional Erosion Zone naturally didn’t dare act up.
“Go straight back, or shuttle through dimensional rifts for a shortcut?” Kun Youniang asked.
“Take the shortcut.”
With the current chaotic situation, Wu Xian didn’t want to waste time.
Moreover, the real distance between Binhai City and Yaoyang City was still quite far.
“Look, there’s a rift to my Insectoid Otherworld over there.”
Then, under Kun Youniang’s lead, they passed through that dimensional rift into a certain area of the Insectoid Otherworld.
Kun Youniang was very familiar with the Insectoid Otherworld and directly led the three to the Insectoid Dimensional Rift location near Yaoyang City.
They had thought with Kun Youniang there, the Insectoid Otherworld would be safe.
Who would have thought that shortly after entering, they were blocked by a group of insectoid monsters, stunning Wu Xian.
“These insectoid monsters aren’t afraid of you?” Wu Xian asked puzzledly.
“The Insectoid Otherworld isn’t just this Empress’s one clan,” Kun Youniang easily suppressed the insectoid monster in front of her while calmly explaining. “This area isn’t this Empress’s territory either.”
“Fair enough,” Wu Xian said speechlessly. “I thought your Insectoid Otherworld was monolithic.”
Kun Youniang shook her head with a smile, then said meaningfully, “Though I hate to admit it, that big rooster of yours might be more useful here than this Empress.”
While Wu Xian was stunned, he released the Gold Scroll 【Sun Star Lord】.
Sure enough—at least for traveling in the Insectoid Otherworld, Sun Star Lord was indeed more effective than Kun Youniang.
Perhaps that’s what they mean by an outsider monk reciting scriptures well.
Kun Youniang silently kept a safety distance from Sun Star Lord, her fear mixed with a hint of disdain.
“Clearly only six and a half stars, why so terrifying?” Kun Youniang looked utterly baffled.
After all, she was an infinitely advancing 【Emperor-level】 existence, with spiritual energy level as high as Level
Not to mention six and a half star Gold Scrolls—even eight or nine star Jade Scrolls, she had appraised plenty.
Yet the fear that Sun Star Lord instilled in her was unprecedented.
“Little Wu’s Sun Star Lord is practically the nemesis of the insectoid race,” Xue Zhengying couldn’t help but marvel. “A full-spectrum restraint with no blind spots, plus that astonishing conceptual level and law tier—even if an insectoid True God is born in the future, it’d still feel hairy facing Sun Star Lord.”
Kun Youniang shook her head bitterly, unable to understand why such an existence was in the world.
“I recall that big scorpion over here doesn’t get along with you. How about letting Sun Star Lord help you deal with it while he’s at it?” Xue Zhengying asked with a smile.
“Forget it,” Kun Youniang shook her head. “Too bad.”
