The two continued forward.
Cang Hai led the way, taking detours through areas where traces of Order Laws remained and avoiding the densest Gray Mist.
After about half an hour, the scene ahead changed abruptly.
The Gray Mist vanished, replaced by an immense expanse of Void.
Countless enormous platforms floated in the Void, linked by slender crystal bridges. Buildings of different styles stood on them: some were pure geometric shapes, some were twisted organic structures, and others were vortices of energy that constantly changed form.
Cang Hai stopped, his face pale.
"Ahead is the Law Turbulence Zone." He pointed into the Void. "Each platform has its own independent Law System. On this one, you're in three-dimensional space. Jump to the next, and you might find yourself in Four Dimensions. On the one after that, time might run backward."
Qin Chuan swept his gaze across it.
There were too many platforms to count, packed across his entire field of vision and stretching beyond sight.
Ruins of buildings remained on some platforms. He could even make out a few indistinct figures moving among them.
"What are those figures?"
Cang Hai narrowed his eyes and studied them for a long while before shaking his head. "I don't know. I've only ever dared move around the outer platforms. I've never risked jumping farther in. But from what I've observed over the past few thousand years, those figures don't seem alive. They're more like afterimages left by some kind of law."
Qin Chuan took two steps forward and stood at the edge of the Void.
The Crystal Floor Tiles ended beneath his feet. Half a step farther was pure nothingness.
Yet he could sense an extremely faint causal connection between those platforms.
"The Judgment Archon most likely went deeper in," Cang Hai said quietly behind
