Chapter 3112: Spatial Flowing Light
Sen Sen nodded and said nothing more.
Boarding the starship, they soon arrived at the next battle site.
This battle site was located in a destroyed district. Due to the appearance of spatial rifts, most of this district was in an extremely unstable state. In many places, spatial forces were still pressing against each other, occasionally triggering considerable spatial storms.
The guiding android told them that the place they were heading to was relatively safe, with clear patterns in the occurrence of spatial storms, so there was no need to worry about being trapped inside.
After traveling for half an hour along a safe passage carved through the chaotic space, a relatively stable area appeared ahead.
However, this "relative stability" only meant that the fluctuations of spatial forces were not as intense. Visually, it looked far more chaotic than the places they had passed through earlier. Some sections of the ground had been lifted into the air, remaining suspended, with gravel and soil occasionally crumbling from above. Yet, before they could fall to the ground, they were blocked by twisted spatial forces and remained floating as well.
The scene before them was like a world where gravity had lost its balance—mountains hung upside down, water flowed in reverse. One didn't even need to imagine much to know how fierce the battle that caused all this must have been.
"The floating rocks aren't due to buoyancy in the space, but because they're stuck within the spatial forces. However, everyone need not worry about being hit by falling stones, because the altitude between six thousand and eight thousand meters is essentially sealed off by layered spatial barriers." The android stopped before an open space, smiled at the group, and made a "please" gesture, adding, "You have two days for sightseeing. Please don't wander too far."
The fourteen players accompanying them stepped into this chaotic space, some excited and curious, others cautious and wary.
At first, the spatial forces here were no different from elsewhere. But as they ventured deeper, fleeting bursts of colorful light appeared in certain places.
These weren't stable, continuous colors. Rather, they were like progressive polyhedral bands formed by spatial forces under extreme compression—the most basic gossamer threads of a kaleidoscope world. At this level, spatial forces had become visible to the naked eye, refracting colorful light.
Those flashes of colorful light were likely the kaleidoscope gossamer threads that formed momentarily and quickly dissipated.
Everyone present watched the intermittent flashes of light, marveling while eagerly following them with their eyes, trying to see what exactly formed them. Some observed the structure of the flowing light, attempting to understand how it was achieved.
Xu Huo had already completed the kaleidoscope gossamer threads. What he needed now was an opportunity for qualitative change. Quantitative accumulation was too slow. He had spent over two years merely expanding his control range of spatial forces to ten thousand meters. This was clearly not the true path to the highest level. In this chaotic space, even though the battle had ended years ago, kaleidoscope gossamer threads still formed, indicating that under specific conditions, the mutual influence of spatial forces could reach the level of a kaleidoscope world. Moreover, these flickering flowing lights showed that spatial forces could connect with each other, even without human control.
He followed the trajectory of the flowing light he had just seen. Due to the interweaving of spatial forces, the path of the flowing light was naturally not a straight line. It was highly erratic—sometimes rising, sometimes falling, sometimes near, sometimes far. Each time it flashed and vanished, the surrounding spatial fluctuations were minimal. This meant that the kaleidoscope gossamer threads formed gently and dissolved gently, without causing much impact on the space.
Even he had to admit that this was a truly wondrous state.
A stability that contained immense danger instead neutralized the overwhelming threat of spatial forces, making them mysterious and captivating.
The appearance of the flowing light had no pattern in terms of timing, and its distance spanned great lengths. It was hard to imagine how it could cross such a vast space in such a short time to form a new streak of light. Throughout the entire process, Xu Huo found it difficult to capture any changes in the spatial rays.
Or rather, all spatial rays were subtly shifting, interlocking with each other to maintain the stability of this space. It was impossible to distinguish which part was responsible, causing new kaleidoscope gossamer threads to form thousands of meters away and then quickly dissolve.
"Did you figure anything out?" Li De squinted, staring intently for a long while before asking the person beside him.
Cui Tan pondered deeply for a moment, then said, "I never thought that evolving spatial forces to the highest level would look so beautiful."
Li De couldn't help but glance at him. "Can you say something useful?"
Cui Tan waved his hand. "If you could learn just by looking, then what difference would there be between me and Carmen Field? If that were the case, I would have been famous in the game long ago."
Li De was like a struggling student who had only half-understood the lesson. "I was hoping you could explain the trick to me."
"Then you might as well buy an experience pack from Under Dimension," Cui Tan said bluntly.
Li De then turned his gaze to Xu Huo and Sen Sen beside him.
"I've been here many times," Sen Sen shrugged, implying that if she had truly gained anything, she wouldn't have to come back again and again.
Xu Huo did say something useful, but it was in the form of a question. "A slight change in the rays within the spatial structure can materialize spatial forces. How exactly is that achieved?"
It wasn't human manipulation, so it must be that the spatial forces had formed some kind of fixed chain reaction, enabling the effect of the flowing light and serving as the foundation for expanding the kaleidoscope world.
But the spatial rays here were chaotic. Compared to normal space, these rays even obstructed each other. Some spatial barriers and spatial entities were relatively stable, existing as separate individuals. For the spatial rays to pass through, they would have to individually deconstruct these entities, at least connecting to the spatial rays within them, and then from those rays, connect to spatial rays elsewhere...
When he thought of this, Xu Huo paused. He shifted his gaze and was the first to catch the trajectory of the next flowing light. In fact, as he looked over, the flowing light had just formed!
His expression shifted slightly, and he continued searching for the next location. There were two points: one five thousand meters to his left front, and another six thousand meters to his right.
As a result, the flowing light first appeared at the left front position. After a brief wait, it also appeared at the right position.
He then observed for several more minutes. The timing wasn't always precise, but the locations he had chosen would, sooner or later, produce flowing light.
It wasn't that the chaotic space was harder to observe; rather, it was precisely because of the existence of these spatial entities and barriers that the trajectory of the flowing light became traceable—the flowing light avoided the relatively stable spatial entities around them!
