Zhang Yan's confidence lies in the fact that although he worked very hard, the worst result will not be fatal. If he were here, he wouldn't rush into a dangerous situation that seems to have no support at all and is all based on the premise described in a book.
However, the description in the book appears, and the fact that Huangtianyu and he are currently stuck at a very subtle and important link, they really need to work hard, otherwise the situation will be easily corrupted later.
After rushing into the so-called void collapse passage, Zhang Yan's heart suddenly fell back halfway. Because he was not killed by dangers such as some mysterious power or more confusing rules, but he was unscathed as if he was in a colorful cave. It reminded him of the dead road that he traveled through in the wilderness a long time ago.
"This thing is really a space passage! I just don't know what is on the other side." Zhang Yan looked around and explored along the passage.
Shen Nian has always maintained the greatest and most vigilant state, but apart from the weird entanglement of space rules in the colorful passage walls around it, Zhang Yan could not detect what other forces were interacting with it from above. The only thing he can be sure of is that the construction of this kind of passage is definitely not just a matter of space rules.
I don’t know how long I walked along the passage, and I don’t know which direction it is moving straight along. Even Zhang Yan can’t tell whether it is straight or not. He originally tried to use his own heartbeat to time the time in his mind, but soon Zhang Yan discovered that the time scale here was also beyond his accustomed understanding. With his mastery of the rules of time, he could only ensure that he would not be confused by this kind of chaos. The time ruler fell into confusion, but it could not be used to measure time.
"Huh? There's light!"
A light that was not actually bright appeared from the front of the passage. It is different from the colorful illusions on the wall of the passage. It looks very real. It looks a bit like the misty light that belongs to the world in the void is emitted and cast in.
As if the thought had just passed, Zhang Yan saw a flower following him. When he looked back, where was the shadow of the passage just now? Disappeared! At this time, he was hovering in a strange but somewhat familiar void-like environment.
How to go back after that? This thought that should have been terrifying flashed past, and Zhang Yan didn't think too much about it, because the method of going back was mentioned in "Ran Travels", so there was no need to worry about it now. At the moment, what he is more concerned about is whether the surrounding environment is the chaotic realm mentioned in the book, and whether it matches the gold leaf star map in his hand.
In addition, the rules and powers here are orderly, but different from the void world. It can even be said that many places are "ordered in reverse". Even though Zhang Yan is most familiar with the spatial rules, he can feel them here, but if he wants to move them, he needs to do it in an almost completely opposite way to what he does in the void outside.
"This place is indeed as described in the book. It is weird and puzzling. But it seems normal. The contradictions are really impressive."
You feel something is wrong, but everything here is truly self-contained. It's as if you have gone to a strange country and you see all the strange-looking foreigners around you, but in fact you are the foreigner here, the strange one. Just like Zhang Yan is doing now.
To be able to adapt so quickly and not be in a hurry, the book "Travel Notes" plays a major role. This time, it seemed that the bet that seemed to be out of his mind was actually right. This once again confirms Zhang Yan's feelings. "Coincidence" is the key point he needs to follow at the moment. Whether it is reasonable or not is secondary.
While adapting to the new environment here, Zhang Yan took out a jade slip with a gold foil star map from his storage bag to check it out. He made many rubbings of this kind of jade slips.
Not long after, Zhang Yan was surprised to find an area on the star map that was most likely where he was now.
"There is a shining storm on the left, and there is a turbulent flow of void and three light spots in the world on the right. In this case, this is where I should be now?" Zhang Yan quickly determined his position along the star map. At the same time, I was also curious about what happened to those places that coincided with the light spots on the star map. I thought they were moving star marks before, but now they seem to be the existence of the world. Is the world here also like the void world?
With a thought in his mind, Zhang Yan moved away from the place and went straight to the world closest to him on the star map that coincided with reality.
These light spots were mentioned in "Ran Travels". The author You Yu claims that these light spots that look like the world are actually not sure whether they are the world. Because he had no way to go in at first and could only explore from the outside. The final conclusion is: it has the structure of the world, but not the breath of the world. It's unclear what it is, and I don't know if there is an internal space that can be entered and explored.
Zhang Yan now no longer treats the conclusion in the book as a story, but will use it seriously as a reference.
When we arrived at the shimmering place, we couldn't tell the difference between what we saw in front of us and the mist masses in various worlds in the void world. They were exactly the same existence. But it is indeed the same as mentioned in the book. Although it has the appearance of the world, it does not have the atmosphere of the world.
To be precise, the fog in front of him did not make Zhang Yan feel the vitality that was emanating from the evolution of the world.
Without vitality, it means that there are no living beings, and there will be no independent consciousness of the world and no subsequent evolution. Zhang Yan is very sure of this, because he often works in harmony with the false world, and has a far better understanding of the inertia of existence at this level of the world than others.
"Can't get in?" Zhang Yan tried many methods, but the thing in front of him, which he considered a "dead world", was really sealed tightly. Not only are the spatial rules impossible to explore, but there is not even a hint of internal spatial rules to be seen.
However, Zhang Yan's methods are not only "gentle and gentle", but also rough.
The author of "Ran Travels" couldn't break it, but Zhang Yan thought he could try. Because he has a powerful tool in his hand that the author of "Ran Travels" does not have. It is also a sharp means used for rough cutting.
With a wave of his hand, the body of the Immortal Killing Sword, which was already slightly longer than an ordinary dagger, was held in Zhang Yan's hand.
Then Zhang Yan slashed down with his sword, and there was a moment of stalemate. It seemed as if a layer of membrane had touched the Immortal Killing Sword, and then the cut was as smooth as if it were immersed in soft mud. After a few blows with the sword, Zhang Yan actually cut a gash. There is a real space inside that can be entered, and it is not a meaningless mass of dead things. Zhang Yan even discovered something unusual when he probed into it.
"Those are pavilions and pavilions... and palaces?! Is there anyone here?"
Surprised, Zhang Yan didn't dare to go in rashly for a moment. He raised his hand and a thick stack of paper figures was thrown into the crack...
