Angor's plan went awry.
He had originally thought that the appearance of the Transcendent paper and oil painting would only cover half of the Dream Crystal.
But he was wrong.
The truth was that …
When the Transcendent page was taken out of the dragon scale space, with them as the center, more than half of the Dream Crystal was affected.
At the center.
Above their heads, dark clouds covered their bodies while lightning bolts danced in the sky, creating a complicated web of lightning.
The wind howled, and the tornadoes destroyed everything in their path.
No matter how stable the crystal source was, it would still be affected by the combination of thunder, lightning, and wind.
The ground of the Dream Crystal began to crack, and ravines began to form.
Due to the pressure from the ground, the Dream Crystal began to lose its internal tension, which led to the rise of the Dream Crystal and the fall of the Dream Crystal.
Tornadoes swept across the Dream Crystal, bringing with them bone-chilling wind, lightning bolts, and torrential rain.
Puddles formed in the Dream Crystal while undercurrents appeared in the ravines.
The torrential flood looked like a raging beast, trying to destroy and devour everything around it.
The center of the Dream Crystal was no different from an "apocalypse".
The power of the apocalypse continued to spread out from the center, which affected more than half of the Dream Crystal. The further one went, the weaker the effect became. Sometimes, only the dark clouds could be seen.
However, from the scope of its influence, one could tell that the changes brought about by the Transcendent page were definitely a major event that would be recorded in the history books of the entire Dream Crystal!
Angor and Laplace were still at the center of the "apocalypse". However, they were not standing on the Dream Crystal. Instead, they were floating above a thick layer of dark clouds.
Here, they were not affected too much by the "apocalypse". However, Laplace already knew from Angor's explanation that the appearance of the extraordinary paper would greatly affect the Dream Crystal.
Angor pondered for a moment. "Based on the current situation, the oil painting might affect the entire Dream Crystal."
If a Transcendent page could affect half of the Dream Crystal, wouldn't an oil painting be able to affect the entire world?
Laplace thought for a moment and said, "That might not be the case."
Angor looked at him in confusion.
"Not necessarily? Why? "
Laplace said straightforwardly, "As long as it doesn't involve the mysterious power, there will be a limit to the impact and damage caused by natural disasters or man-made disasters."
"Before the extreme value is reached, the influence will continue to expand. But when the extreme value is reached, the influence may stabilize or even begin to decline."
This was similar to an emotional threshold.
Whether it was shock, sadness, fear … when one reached a certain limit, it was not easy to weaken it, but it was also very difficult to increase it. This was the so-called extreme value.
Although Natural Disaster and Emotional Threshold were slightly different, the general meaning was similar.
Regardless of whether it was the ink, the normal paper, or the supernatural paper, the influence on the Dream Crystallization was ultimately the same thing: the word space created by Noah through the Secret of the Book had an influence on the Dream Crystallization.
In other words, the operating rules of the "secret manual" had an impact on the underlying logic of the Dream Crystal.
"The Book of Secrets is ultimately a derivative ability of Ea's' Book of Time 'talent. It might be able to affect the underlying logic of the Dream Crystal to a certain extent. "
"But the effect must be limited. It can't fundamentally change the underlying logic."
"Since the effect is limited, the natural disasters reflected on the outside must also be limited."
Once they reached a certain level, they would stabilize or even weaken.
Therefore, the absolute increment theory that "a supernatural paper could affect half of the Dream Crystal, while an oil painting that was more complete than a supernatural paper could directly affect the entire Dream Crystal" did not necessarily hold true.
Angor pondered after listening to Laplace's explanation. "You're right. Maybe the limit has already been reached by affecting half of the Dream Crystal. Even if we take out the oil painting, it won't increase any further."
"Of course, it's best if the limit has already been reached," Laplace said. "But there's also a great chance that it hasn't reached the limit yet. In fact, the limit I'm guessing might not even exist."
"So, just in case, we should make some preparations before we take out the oil painting."
Angor understood Laplace's meaning. By making preparations in advance, Laplace meant that the new residents would not be affected by the natural disasters.
Angor would not interfere with a real natural disaster. In fact, he would take the initiative to let the new residents fight the natural disasters to further strengthen their connection to the Dream Crystal.
However, the "foreseeable" natural disaster was not a real natural disaster. It was just a small experiment Angor was doing.
Under such circumstances, Angor had to protect the new residents.
As for how?
It was actually quite simple.
Most of the new residents, including those who registered in the outside world, were gathered in Rabbit Town.
Furthermore, Rabbit Town wasn't considered big. As long as Rabbit Town was the center, he could use the ability to change the weather to create a small dome to guard against natural disasters, and everything would be done.
Of course, there were still some people outside the town, but most of them had already entered the Wonderland dungeon. For example, Miao Miao and the "lucky ones" who were pulled into Sunlight Circus.
These new residents in the dungeon did not need to worry about being affected by natural disasters.
All Angor needed to do was to protect Rabbit Town.
This was a simple task for Angor.
Several minutes later, Angor used the dome to surround the entire Rabbit Town. The dome was colorless and did not emit any energy waves.
Even if the natural disaster did reach Rabbit Town, under the dome's protection, the new residents would not know what was going on outside. Time would pass quickly.
Of course, just in case, Angor still asked the bunny girl to spread a message among the new residents, telling them not to leave Rabbit Town for a while.
As for the excuse … Angor would say that there was a dangerous "World's Grind" outside.
Considering how much the new residents valued their lives, they probably would not go outside.
However, the same could not be said for those who came in using their registered devices. Maybe they would run outside when they heard that there was a dungeon. Angor did not need to protect these people. They could just log off if there was any danger.
…
After doing all this, Angor finally decided to take out the oil painting.
They were now floating in the sky, which was a safe place for now.
However, that would not be the case after he took out the oil painting.
In order to prevent the entire Deep Space Zone from falling, Angor told Laplace about it and teleported to the Doomsday Crystal under the dark clouds.
He was going to take out the oil painting from the crystal.
The crystal — no, the crystal could no longer be seen. The area where the crystal used to be had been turned into a vast ocean by the terrible storm.
There was no end to it.
In the distance, one could only see crystal mountains sticking out of the cracks in the ground. There was no other land in sight.
The sea was not calm either. There were tornadoes, storms, and forests of lightning everywhere.
Lightning bolts covered the dark clouds like webs, and the sea was also filled with pools of lightning.
With the current level of the Dream Crystal, if any of the new residents were to come to this place, they would all die. There was no chance of survival.
Even Angor would not dare to go too far without the protection of the weather.
"It's already the Doomsday Flood," Angor mumbled, "I can't imagine what will happen next."
"Will the situation get worse if I take out the oil painting?"
Angor was planning to take out the oil painting right here. But after seeing the terrible scene, he decided to return to the sky first.
Laplace looked at Angor and asked, "You took it out already?"
He frowned and looked around. Nothing seemed to have changed.
Angor shook his head. "Not yet. Let's go somewhere else."
The scene below was too apocalyptic. The sea had turned into a pool of lightning, and there was a bottomless abyss under it. This was the extreme abyss created by the expanding fissure.
This place was extremely low.
Even the sturdiest crystal couldn't withstand the corrosion of the apocalypse and turned into a terrifying abyss.
He could not imagine what would happen if he took out the painting again before the disaster reached its peak. The whole area would be destroyed.
He was even worried that the abyss would penetrate the core of the crystal.
If that happened, it would be a real disaster.
For the sake of the Dream Crystal, Angor decided to take out the oil painting somewhere else. He couldn't just keep pointing at the same spot.
Laplace didn't mind either. Angor must have his reasons for making such a decision.
"Where do you want to go then?"
"Let's go to the polar region. Another polar region."
Even the polar region had a bottomless abyss. If Angor used a normal crystal, the abyss would go right through it. Therefore, he had to choose the polar region.
There were many polar regions in the Dream Crystal, but there were only four or five large ones.
The one they were in now was the largest one.
The place he chose was the second most dangerous one in the area. Although it was called "second", it wasn't much different from the first.
In terms of size, it was about half the size of Goldspink Empire.
From the perspective of a wizard, it wasn't that big. However, from the perspective of an ordinary citizen, it would take about half a year to cross the second polar region without any means of transportation and with only two feet to measure the distance.
Laplace looked down at the polar region from high up in the sky. The surroundings were also vast, but it was worth mentioning that this polar region was not flat.
It looked like a sunken basin.
"A basin? No. "Angor shook his head. Angor shook his head. "This place isn't a basin. It's more like an inverted pyramid. It goes down layer by layer. "
Laplace could only see a rough shape with his naked eyes. But from his God's View, he could see that the polar region was not just sinking down. Instead, it looked like an upside-down pyramid that was sinking down layer by layer.
"An inverted pyramid?" Laplace tried to picture the region in his mind and found it strange.
This was something that would never happen in the outside world.
But here in the Dream Crystal, a world filled with crystals, something like this could happen.
"If it's an inverted pyramid, does it mean something?" Laplace muttered, "Maybe this is where a fairyland dungeon will open?"
Angor shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe."
Even if there was a fairyland dungeon hidden here, he would still choose to use the painting here.
After all, the fairyland dungeon hadn't appeared yet.
He would just pretend that it didn't exist.
"I'm worried that this place will turn into an ocean too. If the bottom of the pyramid is the entrance to the fairyland dungeon, I don't think we'll be able to open it in the future, "Laplace said.
Once the ocean turned upside down, the entrance to the dungeon would be located at the bottom of the ocean.
Considering the current level of the new residents, they probably wouldn't be able to enter it.
"That's all in the future. You can't say for sure. If you can't say for sure, just treat it as nothing. "
Angor didn't care. If they couldn't conquer the dungeon in a short time, they would wait until the future. Besides, it was hard to say whether there would be a dungeon entrance here.
There was no need to worry about the future.
Laplace also felt that this was reasonable. After all, they didn't need to clear the dungeon, so who cared if it was a flood that reached the heavens?
"So, let's take out the painting now?" Laplace asked.
Angor nodded seriously.
He chose a relatively high position and slowly took out the last oil painting from the dragon scale space under the watchful eyes of Laplace.
As soon as the painting appeared, a cold wind began to blow.
A terrifying black vortex appeared in the cloudless sky at a speed visible to the naked eye every minute and second.
The vortex kept sucking in the clouds around it.
When the clouds were sucked in, they turned into black, scale-like clouds that quickly covered the sky.
At the same time, lightning bolts danced in the sky.
Then, a red lightning bolt appeared from the black vortex.
Then, it hacked straight down.
It was … the painting!
…
The lightning bolt was so fast that Angor didn't even have time to react before it hit the painting.
Angor almost jumped out of his skin.
Angor was very close to the painting.
Luckily, the red lightning bolt seemed to be targeting the text space inside the painting. When it touched the painting, it went straight into the misty image and didn't bother Angor at all.
Angor wasn't affected even though he was right in front of the painting.
Still, Angor was scared. Just in case, he quickly backed away for another thousand meters.
He looked at the floating painting from afar.
So far, the painting didn't seem to be affected after absorbing the red lightning bolt.
But Angor believed that it was only temporary.
If the red lightning bolt was targeting the painting, it must have a purpose. Maybe it just didn't reach its goal yet.
