The five of them stepped through the teleportation whirlpool and soon arrived at a void.
Lin Huang saw an incomparably huge black hole in the void in front of him. It was like a giant eyeball hanging in the void, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of shock and awe.
This was the first time he had seen the true abyss.
Before he came here, he had already seen the photos and videos and made many assumptions. However, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
Strangely, he had a vague illusion that he was looking at an infinitely large living creature.
Even if the Black Abyss before him was just an entrance to the abyss.
"Don't you feel like the entrance is staring at us like an eye?" Lin Huang couldn't help but ask.
He vaguely remembered a saying that he had often heard before — When you are gazing into the abyss, the abyss is also gazing into you.
"Everyone has this feeling when they see the Abyss for the first time, but it's just an illusion." Next to him, Saber9 explained calmly, "You won't feel this way the second time you come."
"Why would I have such an illusion?" Lin Huang didn't understand.
"I don't know. Everyone's like that," Virtuoso answered directly without waiting for Saber9 to speak. "There's no need to delve into this matter."
At this moment, the petite Lan Ling raised her hand weakly. "I … know …"
Lin Huang and the others looked at her.
Lan Ling said softly, "I … I've seen relevant research papers."
"To put it simply, the Abyss itself has an undetectable spiritual oppression, causing people to subconsciously feel fear towards it. Therefore, our subconscious will view it as a great threat, causing us to have this illusion the first time we see the Abyss. "
"As for why I only had this illusion the first time. The explanation of the research is that after entering the Abyss for the first time, our subconscious mind has already adapted to the mental oppression of the Abyss. The fear of the subconscious mind has disappeared, and it no longer sees it as a threat. "
Although Lan Ling's explanation sounded very reasonable, it did not make much sense. However, Lin Huang felt that this explanation did not convince him.
At this moment, Tu Tong finally couldn't help but join the discussion.
"I've also seen an explanation on the Internet, and it received quite a lot of likes. The post said that the Abyss was a huge living creature that was in a deep slumber. Every entrance was actually one of its eyes. Its eyes would unconsciously scrutinize everyone who entered its body. That's why we feel like it's watching us. "
"As for why I only felt this way the first time. This was because this kind of examination had a memory function, and it was only targeted at strangers. If you enter the Abyss for the second or third time, you will be considered to have passed the examination. "
When Lin Huang heard this, he felt that Tu Tong's explanation was more convincing. Just as he was about to express his agreement, he heard Virtuoso mocking him rudely from the side.
"Only you, Tutu, would believe such nonsense."
"This saying is indeed widespread on the Internet, but in reality, it's not credible." Lan Ling nodded and explained, "The largest known Starry Sky Species in the history of the Star Ocean is only the size of three star zones. That's already the limit of a living being."
"As for the Abyss, it occupies at least a quarter of the universe, and this is only its portion in the universe. Its complete body might even be larger than the entire Star Ocean. Judging from its size, it was impossible for it to be a living thing. Even beings above lord-level can't control such a huge body.
"Furthermore, judging from its mass, there's no living structure that can support such a massive body without collapsing. Even combat cultivator powerhouses above lord-level in ancient times can't maintain a body of such mass. "
Lin Huang fell silent. Although Lan Ling's explanation made sense, he had a vague feeling that Tu Tong's explanation was not impossible.
"Alright, time is limited. Let's go in." Virtuoso did not bother wasting any more time on this topic, so they cut it short right away.
However, they did not seem to realize at all that they were the least qualified to say that time was limited.
If they had not dilly-dallied and assembled half an hour late, everyone might have been hunting in the Abyss several times by now.
As soon as Virtuoso finished speaking, they extended their hand toward Lin Huang.
Lin Huang was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted. The Abyss entry rule might teleport people randomly.
Under such circumstances, everyone had to be physically in contact and teleport as a whole so that they would not be separated.
As he thought of this, Lin Huang immediately extended his hand and grasped Virtuoso's right hand.
He then extended his right hand and grasped Saber9's left hand, who was on the other side.
"Don't think about anything once you're inside. Just keep flying forward," Virtuoso's voice came quickly.
They were mainly saying this for Lin Huang to hear. After all, everyone else had entered the Abyss before.
The five of them quickly held hands and sped toward the entrance of the Abyss.
All Lin Huang felt was that the closer they got to the Abyss, the darker everything before him became. Eventually, everything was pitch-black, and he could not see anything.
However, he still followed Virtuoso's advice and continued flying forward based on his senses.
Lin Huang counted the time in his heart. After almost a minute, they finally saw a glimmer of light not far ahead.
The five of them sped toward the source of the light immediately. The closer they got, the brighter the light became.
Finally, the five of them left the darkness completely.
As far as Lin Huang could see, the sky was dark, and all he could see was black soil. He could not tell where he was at all.
Just as he was about to extend his Divine Telekinesis, Virtuoso's voice transmission suddenly rang in his ears.
"Hide your aura and don't release your Divine Telekinesis for now."
Although he did not know what had happened, Lin Huang could tell from Virtuoso's tone that there was a hint of seriousness, so he hurriedly did as he was told.
At that moment, he finally noticed that Saber9 and the others did not look too good.
"What happened?" Lin Huang asked quickly through voice transmission.
"The normal travel time for each Abyss entrance should be ten seconds," Saber9 replied calmly through voice transmission.
"Ten seconds?! But we took at least a minute to get in here this time, didn't we? " Lin Huang could not help frowning. Although he did not know what had caused this, he knew that things were not good.
"Someone might have tampered with the teleportation process when we came in, or it might just be the aftermath of a battle between lord-level powerhouses. Personally, I hope it's the latter. " Virtuoso explained in a serious tone, then added, "If it's the former, there's a high chance that all five of us will die here."
