Crossing the Star Pond is no different from crossing the Shadow Channel.
With some vigilance, and with the flash of colorful light in front of their eyes, Isaac and Blackwoods appeared in the gray sky.
In this sky, there is no sun, and no stars or moon can be seen. As Blackwoods said, this should be a demi-plane and has not yet formed a complete world system.
and……
"I'm afraid it won't be formed!"
Just entering here through the Star Pond, the sense of physical presence returned immediately.
There was a strong hurricane raging in the sky, which made him flutter his wings and stabilize himself in the air.
His eyes scanned the surroundings at the same time, and then below.
This airspace is being shrouded in a storm.
This storm is also extremely weird, as strong as a hurricane, but unpredictable.
Sometimes the wind is like a torrent and the waterfall rushes down.
Sometimes multiple strands intersected, and some formed huge tornadoes.
There will even be situations where there is a storm on one side and calm on the other.
All of this is still evolving impermanently, without any laws that should exist in the material world.
Under the devastation of such celestial phenomena, the equally gray earth below looked like it had no life at all.
This should be...
"The erosion of chaos!"
Being here, Isaac's mind instinctively sensed something unusual.
He glanced around and saw no danger lurking, so he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual awareness sank and expanded again.
boom! ! !
The next moment, an incredible storm suddenly swept into his spiritual consciousness.
This is a hodgepodge of storms. Fire, gas, water waves, and soil are the four most basic elements, chaotically composed, chaotically fluctuating, randomly arising and dying, sublimating and fighting wantonly.
Everything is born from chaos and will eventually return to chaos!
With the sudden impact, even Isaac's spiritual consciousness suddenly rippled, feeling like it was about to be swept in, turned into chaos, and returned to chaos.
"Is it the power of the Chaos Sea?"
"But? It shouldn't come directly from the Sea of Chaos!"
"According to Blackwoods, this half of the plane is connected to Chaos City. Chaos City is on the edge of the boundary between the outer realm and the Chaos Sea. It itself is drawn by the Chaos Sea. The erosion here should be caused by the Chaos City. Come indirectly!"
Holding the stability of his mind and consciousness, Isaac slowly opened his eyes.
Judging from this induction? It is impossible for this half plane to evolve into a real plane.
Maybe it won't take too long? This place will be swallowed up by the sea of chaos, and it will turn into the most basic elements, fighting in infinite chaos.
However, this is none of his business!
He was never one of those dragons from the lawful good camp thinking about how to save the world!
At most, he will only focus on... whether he can discover something useful to him from this chaotic erosion!
"In the record, this plane passage should be controlled by a Slaad Death Toad? This Chaos Giant Toad has always regarded the creatures in this half of the plane as hatching bodies to reproduce offspring.
However, behind the passage is the Chaos City, and even the Slaad Death Toad may not be able to occupy it all the time.
Who is controlling this plane channel now will probably only become clear after contact. "
Blackwoods' inner voice was not disturbed by the storm.
Slaadi have five forms.
From lowest to highest, they are the Slaadi Red Toad, the Slaadi Blue Toad, the Slaadi Green Toad, the Slaadi Gray Toad, and finally the Slaadi Death Toad!
Although the Sea of Chaos symbolizes the purest chaos, without even good or evil, the higher slaad giant toads still have a certain degree of control over the lower giant toads. Although, if you don't pay attention, you will have freedom of thought. The guy just slipped away without thinking.
However, if the Slaad Death Toad is still there and uses this half plane to reproduce its offspring...if they want to pass through that plane channel, what they have to face may not be a giant Slaad with one head and two heads!
And if it weren't for it...it would obviously be even more difficult to take away this half of the plane from its hands!
However, they are already here, and Isaac will not say that he is avoiding them.
He teamed up with Feiyi Yeying. As long as they were not at the destiny level, there shouldn't be many people who could block the passage and prevent them from passing through!
"Whoever it is, let's go and visit first!"
His mind connected with Blackwoods.
At that moment, Feiyi Yeying nodded and fell straight into the low altitude.
Isaac followed closely.
It should be due to the erosion of chaos that there are countless cracks in the earth.
Small ones, just like cracks caused by dryness and cracking.
It was as big as a canyon, and it was infinitely deep. Even Isaac's gaze could not see the bottom of the huge canyon, which was like an abyss.
Flying over at low altitude, you can see that some of these cracks look like volcanic magma underneath, with scorching smoke clouds rising continuously, while some are so cold that even the ground is covered in frost.
Moreover, there was really no sign of life at all. After flying for half a day, there was not even a trace of green on the ground, let alone human traces.
The sky was filled with gray storms, the ground was filled with gray desolation, and the entire plane seemed to be dead!
"That's not right!"
After flying over three consecutive peaks in a row, Blackwoods' figure slowed down. His eyes scanned below and then everything around him. A little hesitation appeared in the message from his soul. Xu Yasheng said with some uncertainty: "According to the records, there should have been a city here. Even if it is destroyed, there will not be any ruins left."
Although it has never been to some of the landmarks in this half of the plane, it is very familiar with them.
There should be a city behind these three connected peaks, and the humanoid creatures in the city are exactly what the Slaad Death Toad is raising.
But now, nothing can be seen, not even a little bit of building, not even the shadow of the ruins!
"City?"
Isaac stretched his wings and soared freely in the storm. His eyes scanned the ground, and there was no sign of the constant true knowledge in his eyes.
Blackwoods' information should come from the Yeying clan. With Yeying's powerful spiritual power, normally, he should not be confused by hallucinations and the like.
So, at least once, there should have been a city here!
but now……
After pondering for a moment, he closed his eyelids, and when he opened them again, his inner eye was opened.
The image of the four basic elements boiling, wind, fire, water, and earth, once again impacted his soul.
Return to chaos! Total chaos!
It is similar to the concept of gods, but there is some essentially different information...
The eyes of the mind simply no longer closed, but they kept the stability of the mind. While circling and observing, Isaac asked slowly: "Among the information you have, do you have any information about the environment here? Record? How is it different from now?"
environment?
Blackwoods shook his head slightly. In addition to being regarded as the way to Chaos City, this demiplane does not have any resources or knowledge to make the Night Shadow Clan pay attention. Otherwise, even the Slaad Death Toad , they have already come to fight for it.
Among the data, there are just some records of landmarks, and then some data related to the Slaad Death Toad.
Shaking its head slightly, it thought in its mind, revealing a bit of doubt: "There is no record of this. However, changes in the environment will lead to such a change?"
"If it is a normal material world, it is naturally impossible. However, since this place is connected to the outer world, it is also connected to Chaos City. If it is affected by the Chaos Sea, then there is nothing, it is impossible. !”
"The Sea of Chaos is the origin and ultimate of all chaos. Chaos should mean endless changes. Nothing is stable and nothing is impossible."
"Things that are impossible to happen in the material world may not be possible if they are affected by it!"
Isaac said slowly.
As he said that, his eyes moved slightly: "I can vaguely sense something, which should be the essence related to the Sea of Chaos. The Giant Slaad Toad came from the Sea of Chaos. If the Slaad Death Toad made a move here, , if the essence of chaos is triggered, it is still possible to achieve all of this!"
The power of the Chaos Sea?
Then the Slaad Death Toad will take action here?
Blackworth couldn't help but feel a movement in his heart. After some thought, he nodded slightly and said, "If so, something should have happened here. This city should have been the livestock city of the Slaad Death Toad. The creature is specially used as a reproductive system to reproduce the descendants of the Silla clan. No matter what happened, no matter how chaotic it is, it should not directly destroy everything here!
The survival of this city has nothing to do with us, but to be able to destroy everything here to such an extent... If this is really this Slaad Death Toad, it may be even more powerful than what is recorded! "
Blackwoods was naturally not concerned about those reproductive creatures.
It will stop because it instinctively detects something that must be paid attention to or even vigilant against!
It was so cautious that even Isaac had to nod.
It is already approaching the real outer plane. In fact, this half plane has been directly affected by the outer plane and is already undergoing some kind of evolution.
When we get here, we must be extra vigilant!
He could hear what Blackwoods meant, and he had no intention of objecting. He raised his eyes slightly and said in his mind: "Then let's explore the surroundings first and see if we can find anything related to everything here?"
Whether it is those humanoid creatures or the descendants of the Slaad Death Toad, as long as they have wisdom, they can always dig out some information related to the Slaad Death Toad or other existences!
Blackwoods had exactly what he meant. He nodded immediately, and the two of them lifted up to high altitude. They added invisibility skills one after another, and began to circle and search more covertly in a large area.
Mountains, dead silence!
Canyon, dead silence!
The desert is even more silent!
Even a lake is the same...
"Um?"
Just as he was about to pass over the lake, Isaac's double vision that opened at the same time should be at the bottom of the lake. There was something different from the aura of endless chaos, as if it restrained the boiling of the elements where it was located!
Moreover, he vaguely felt a little bit about the means to achieve this control over there!
It should be... the power of the soul!
The figure slowed down, and Black Woods, who also had "Detection of Invisibility", also slowed down at the same time. Seeing the green dragon descending towards the lake, it immediately followed.
"Strong, but the most important thing is a firm mind and will!"
"not one!"
"It is time to use the most determined person as the core, or the container, and then gather the spiritual power of many people into one body. Even chaotic concepts must be bound before the single-minded and firm will of this group! "
Isaac has closed his eyes, and as he descends, his spiritual consciousness is also unfolding there without a trace.
He could sense that the level of that core's will was not much inferior to his.
If he combined the spiritual power of many people into one, he would be able to catch up with him in terms of strength, and even win slightly.
Plus, there’s this trick…
In my heart, I felt like I had seen it before.
The psychic realm, the psionic realm, the illithid, and the Githyanki…
After a moment of unfolding, Isaac had a rough idea of the person below.
This psychic technique is similar to a certain extent to the technique used by the Githyanki in the star realm to establish bases and use the power of their minds to stabilize suspended islands.
In addition, this half of the plane is connected to the Chaos City and the Chaos Sea...
"Think of it as a Githzerai!"
Some information related to the Githzerai quickly came to Isaac's mind.
The Githzerai and Githyanki are originally the same race, but after overthrowing the illithid empire, some Gith did not agree with the cruel ideas of the Astral Pirates who kill and pillage.
Led by a leader, they tried to change all this, but were eventually suppressed.
He could only follow the leader and retreat from the Sea of Chaos. Since then, they have become sworn enemies of the Githyanki.
The Githzerai are accustomed to seclusion and asceticism, and are even more powerful in the psionics realm than the Githyanki.
Their indomitable and firm will can conquer even the elemental storm of the Chaos Sea. They even regard the Chaos Sea as a harsh trial that they are willing to face!
They are also one of the few races that can have a stable base in the sea of chaos.
But unlike the Slaad, the Slaad was born from chaos, entrenched in the ground, and naturally stabilized.
The Githzerai, on the other hand, use the power of their souls through penance to form the outer walls of the zen forest to subdue and neutralize the chaos.
Just like the bottom of the lake, if he hadn't always maintained his spiritual eye, even he would have passed by the neutral surrender below.
As the figure descended, the invisibility spell was lifted, and after another turn, it transformed into a human form again.
The thoughts in the mind waved slightly downward: "I wonder which master is living in seclusion here? The two of us passed here to visit Chaos City. We didn't expect to meet a monk like the master here. I don't know. Are you lucky enough to be able to meet the master, communicate with each other, and learn from each other?"
He didn't hide anything anymore.
The level of the one below is not much inferior to him.
He was under the induction, he was aware of it, and the person below also knew that they were coming.
More, some warnings are revealed!
When faced with the visit of a green dragon and Night Shadow, even though the Githzerai have always been low-key and neutral, they still don't have a welcoming attitude!
Grandmaster! Monk!
At Isaac's voice, Blackworth's heart moved, and he suddenly understood the identity of the person below.
The Githzerai!
Ascetic!
Moreover, the level is very high, and he should be a high-level ascetic monk who is respected as a "master"!
"If you two go for the teleportation gate, I can show you the way.
But there are too many poor people here, please don't disturb their final peace. "
A spiritual voice came out, and a dark monastery seemed to appear in front of Isaac and his wife.
In the monastery, under the dim lights, a skinny, bald man raised his quiet and wise eyes.
The gaze was facing Isaac's mind's eye.
