# Chapter 1671: Three Kinds of Power
On the right side, there had originally been something like a pool, though it was hard to discern any decoration—it resembled an unfinished stone pit, now filled with dust.
After pushing this massive space barrier outward, Xu Huo used Space Rays to envelop it, gradually bringing it to a halt to prevent it from colliding with other space bodies.
These space bodies varied in size and shape. Though they were all clusters of Space Rays, each was a different thing.
After stabilizing this four-meter-square space body, Xu Huo didn't rush to leave. Instead, he tried to use his rays to disturb the rays inside it.
Since the rays inside the space body were completely different, they should be equivalent to objects. The next step in Space Evolution should be deconstruction and reorganization. Xu Huo had already achieved deconstruction before, though only with small objects.
However, in Zone 017, Lady Gong had advised him not to focus on the objects being deconstructed, because objects come in thousands of varieties—from small stones to metal, that's a leap in difficulty level. This would place the core of controlling rays on the object itself. Yet what Lady Gong meant by assimilating one's own rays with the rays inside objects was also a realm that was easy to understand literally but as difficult as ascending to heaven in actual practice.
Assimilating rays meant changing the state of the rays. In fact, he currently couldn't refine the state of rays.
Simply put, the Space Rays he saw now all looked the same to him. For him, one ray was a basic unit. He could control these units to gather and form barriers or weapons, but that was about it. This included using "Cube Space"—within the instrument's range, he could only judge the differences in assimilated space states by the density of rays.
Things like Lady Gong's "assimilated rays," Xue Lang's Space Tangent, and Lawrence Li's rainbow rain of rays all involved changing the state of the rays themselves, with the focus on the rays themselves.
He manipulated the rays under his control, trying to connect them to the interior of the space body, but after more than a dozen attempts, he failed. The rays inside these thick space bodies were almost fused into a solid iron plate, tightly arranged like smaller structures that could only be observed through a microscope. At first contact, it was like an object with astonishing internal uniformity—completely without flaws.
"How were these things formed?" Wei Xiaoyi took out a Space Item and snapped a photo of the space ahead. The image immediately restored the pool's appearance, though based on Xu Huo's description of the position and size, the photo still showed some lines that seemed misaligned.
"Were they naturally formed? Or did Super Players fight here?"
Ordinary people would naturally prefer to believe this was naturally occurring, but after witnessing true Super Players, one would understand that these existences weren't entirely beyond human reach.
"Let's keep moving forward," Xu Huo said after his attempts failed.
The space here was too chaotic and the area too narrow. It would be best to find a spacious place to try "Cube Space."
But as they passed through this building and reached the street behind it, the space suddenly changed again. A warm-colored light, coming from nowhere, shone at their feet. It was somewhat dazzling at first glance, but after blinking, they saw sunlight spreading out, gradually illuminating all the streets and buildings before them. Where the light reached, figures began to appear.
At first, there were worshippers draped in white robes and veils, holding oil lamps as they crossed the street. Then, pedestrians in similar attire appeared around them—both adults and children. They devoutly lowered their heads, waiting for the worshippers to pass.
The sky turned blue again. Birds darted beneath white clouds. The air carried the sounds of a bustling crowd, the aroma of food, and the scent of various spices mixing together, all rushing into their nostrils. There were scattered stalls on both sides of the street, selling everyday items.
"This is..." Wei Xiaoyi stared in shock at the scene before her, simultaneously grabbing her ticket, on guard and tense. "Isn't Spiritual Interference supposed to be gradual? Why does it feel like suddenly switching to a different world?"
No sooner had she spoken than the heavily armored soldiers following behind the worshippers spotted her. "Who are you!"
Wei Xiaoyi was startled. As she stepped back, she instinctively looked at Xu Huo beside her, but he reached out and pulled her back. "Don't retreat. The Chaos Space is real."
Wei Xiaoyi came to her senses. "Right, right. These illusions are meant to make us wander around and crash into space bodies to be crushed!"
"Do you have any Spiritual Interference instruments?" Xu Huo asked.
Wei Xiaoyi quickly took out several instruments and activated them. Suppressing the urge to flee, she waited for the soldiers to approach. Affected by the instruments, those indistinguishable figures passed through her body like phantoms. She turned around and saw that they were actually after someone else.
Breathing a slight sigh of relief, she quickly said to Xu Huo, "Your guess is right. The longer we stay, the stronger the Spiritual Interference probably becomes."
She had studied cases of Spiritual Power battles. Some powerful players could make people who entered their Spiritual Realm believe that their game panels and items had failed. By then, escape would be impossible!
"It's still relatively calm here," Xu Huo said without elaborating. What they were seeing wasn't entirely an illusion—this fragment should be a time segment left behind.
Of course, everyone's senses differed. What appeared as a particularly impactful scene to Wei Xiaoyi looked somewhat like a movie to him, making it easy to distinguish from reality.
"Keep your ticket in hand. If you can't hold on, leave first. If you can't leave on your own, I can help you," he said, slightly reassuring the person beside him.
From the current situation, this space contained not only chaotic Space Rays but also Spiritual Interference power and Time power. However, the latter two powers were only beginning to show signs and hadn't yet affected reality.
Avoiding the space bodies, Xu Huo crossed into the palace opposite. Within the time-segment fragment, several worshippers were currently cleaning the palace. They arrived just in time to overhear their conversation.
They were discussing a pair of divine eyes brought by a religious envoy. It was said that these divine eyes could see through all truth and falsehood in the world, could respond to worshippers' requests, and could heal illnesses or restore youth.
"...Can they really make people young?" The worshipper asking was an elderly man, his face covered in wrinkles and spots.
"Of course it's true. I secretly went to see a few days ago. I witnessed with my own eyes a seventy-year-old elderly worshipper turn into a young person, their face even more tender than an eighteen-year-old girl's!" Another worshipper spoke with conviction.
The elderly worshipper's face was full of longing. "I also want to ask the divine envoy to let me return to my youth."
"Give it up. The divine eyes are a heavenly gift. How could they be used casually? Only those with great contributions to the sect qualify," the younger worshipper said with a laugh.
The elderly worshipper wasn't displeased but nodded in agreement. "If miracles could descend arbitrarily, what difference would there be between us who serve the gods and ordinary people?"
