Hao Ren found that the longer he knew Y 'zaks, the less he felt that the guy was a demon. Y' zaks was more suited to be a thinker and a philosopher. Of course, if he had the energy, he could also be a scientist. This rough-looking man had a much sharper and deeper insight than many scholars. This was the result of his constant exploration for hundreds of years and the long-term subtle influence of a true scholar. Now, it had become a part of his personality.
Even if it was a demon, if it focused on one thing for hundreds of years, it would develop an incredible habit.
The world that Y 'zaks lived in, at least within the scope of the known world, had an incredible spatial structure. The space here was discontinuous. The concept of 'long-distance navigation' could only be confined to a closed, limited space vesicle, or to use a more sophisticated term, 'crystal wall'. Hao Ren, who came from Earth, could not imagine how such a discontinuous space was formed. But it was clear that this spatial structure had deeply influenced and shaped the unique form of civilization here. A large number of races lived in one after another space vesicle after another. The powerful races could even occupy one or several spaces by themselves. They built countries on those floating continents and were accustomed to the eternal existence of teleportation portals in space. They even thought that it was a natural phenomenon that could be seen everywhere.
The indigenous people of this world relied on the space vesicles and teleportation portals to thrive. Even nature had formed a unique ecosystem: many animals would migrate regularly through large teleportation portals. They were born and raised in one space and then went to another space to breed or hibernate. Even plants needed to rely on teleportation portals to complete their reproduction. And various intelligent races took the initiative to regard the teleportation portals as an effective long-term strategic resource, just like the roads on Earth. Various races actively explored the undiscovered teleportation portals and carefully passed through them to find new 'worlds' with abundant resources. Each race had their own set of exploration technology, but generally speaking, there were three elements: the way to find the portal; the skill to detect the environment on the other side of the portal; and if there was a huge disaster on the other side of the portal, how to destroy the portal immediately. These were the three essentials of spatial exploration in this world.
It was this easy exploration and the belief that there were countless resource-rich new spaces that led to most races in this world being satisfied with the status quo. They thought that opening one portal after another was enough, and they did not even focus on developing the territory they had already occupied. One of the three mysterious realms of the elves, the Drow Arcane Realm, was a planet similar in size to Earth, but the elves only occupied a large forest on this planet. Because the environment outside the forest was full of poisonous gas and toxic radiation, the elves set up barriers and were content with a corner. They found a portal to another space in their own forest. After a simple "weighing the pros and cons," they decided that developing the entire planet was not worth it. It was far safer to go directly to other spaces to plunder resources.
This was also the thought of many other races: why go so far to explore the hard-to-reach places in their own space? Portals were so convenient.
Of course, they also had institutions to study space vesicles and some superficial 'space structure theory', but overall, their exploration was limited to those ready-made portals.
This way of survival was actually not a problem. In this world where space was not continuous, this form of development was quite normal. Space navigation technology was not necessary in front of the space portal. People could not see much of the starry sky, so naturally, they would not have much interest in the universe.
But the problem was that the races in this world were too dependent on the portals. Before a crazy human alchemist became interested in the size of the universe, no one even doubted the border of the 'space bubble zone'. They thought that these closed spaces were the whole of the universe, and never thought that the 'application theory of the portals' that they had spent thousands of years to establish might only be effective in a corner of the universe.
Y 'zaks was the first' person 'to feel a sense of crisis about this.
"Of course, I'm not the last one." Y 'zaks smiled and looked at the portal in the distance. "Goddess Tawil once told me that the variability and curiosity of the intelligent race is the most precious thing. As long as someone is still thinking, there will always be someone who will find the right way, sooner or later. The little old man's space bubble theory was still regarded as a lunatic by the world's mainstream scholars less than a thousand years ago, but since a hundred years ago, people have been seriously studying the manuscripts he left in the world. There will always be people who calculate the scale of the world and realize the importance of working together. Maybe my unification war did play a role and made them look a little further. "
"At least to prevent the emergence of a second crazy demon king, they also have to stick together." Hao Ren stood up and patted Y 'zaks on the arm. "Alright, don't be sentimental about your youth. The progress bar is not going to hold anymore. Let's hurry to Osidian Plain … By the way, where is Osidian Plain?"
Lanina straightened up and looked at the mountains and barren land in the distance. Behind her, the succubus tail wagged in the air, and then the arrow at the tip of the tail suddenly pointed in a certain direction. "Over there!"
Y 'zaks nodded and led them in the opposite direction. "Let's go, it's this way."
Lanina said, "… My king … Your trust in me …"
"My trust in you is fully reflected in any field other than letting you lead the way." Y 'zaks looked back at his old subordinate. "Besides, how many times have I told you, call me Wang here."
Lanina pouted and obediently followed behind, muttering as she walked. Hao Ren was amazed: it was said that succubi were cunning, seductive and vicious creatures, but why did everyone he met did not play by the rules? This one was too honest, wasn't she?
They left the hill and walked down the hill. In front of them was a wilderness covered with black gravel and strange vegetation. Perhaps because the continent under their feet was just the wreckage of a planet, the rounding effect of tens of thousands of years was still tearing the land apart, causing the geological environment to be a little unstable. There were huge rifts everywhere in the wilderness, as well as cracks on the surface spewing flames and smoke. Some black and red thorny vines grew tenaciously in this harsh environment, making people wonder if they were plants in the normal sense. Occasionally, some strange-looking creatures could be seen jumping out of the flames or even the magma, running wildly between the vines and preying on their prey. They were Chaos monsters that could not even be considered as low-level demons — even in the demonic dimension, they had their own ecological structure.
"It's so hot here." As they passed by a magma river, Vivian frowned. "Come closer, I'll turn on the air conditioner."
A burst of cold air spread from Vivian, and Hao Ren suddenly felt like he had come back to life. It was good to have a human air conditioner. Maybe he could eat some shaved ice by the magma lake later … if Nangong Wuyue had the energy to make a water source.
Lily looked at the flowing magma river not far away, frowning in thought. At this time, she suddenly took out her flame claws and walked towards the magma. Hao Ren immediately called out to her. "Where are you going?"
Lily waved her claws happily. "I'm trying to see if the weapon enhancement method in the book works …"
The husky's train of thought was not something that ordinary people could follow. Lily happily explained, "Didn't the book say that divine weapons are forged in the abyss of fire, or rolled in the magma of hell? I always feel that my claws are missing something. Now that I think about it, it must be the fortuitous enhancement. After being tempered in the magma of the demonic plane, do you think it will become a divine weapon or something …"
Apparently, the girl had read some fantasy novel in her head. Hao Ren looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Do you really believe what you read in the story? Do you really think throwing a weapon into the demonic lava and soaking it in it will..."
Before Hao Ren could finish, Lily had already run to the magma river. She squatted by the river like a playful child, dipping her flame claws into the thick magma and stirring it. Vivian rolled her eyes at the silly little thing. "What's the matter? Does it work? Has it become Flamejoy? "
Lily retracted her claws and frowned in confusion. "It doesn't seem to have changed … And I think I just poked something …"
As soon as her voice trailed off, the magma river suddenly surged!
