Nutrient Solution let out a dejected sigh when she heard Qu Jianlei's question. "Ah, don't mention it..."
"Remember when I asked you about the Out-of-Body Realm last time? I think I went down the wrong path."
Seeing that she wanted to speak but hesitated, Qu Jianlei did not feel comfortable pressing her further—especially with Hua Xiezhi still present.
So he spoke in a deep voice. "Don't rush. Once I'm done with what I'm working on, I'll help you work it out properly."
"Mm." Nutrient Solution nodded absentmindedly, then pointed ahead.
"It's only a little over ten million kilometers away... Clearly, there aren't any Space Ripples there right now."
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. "Let's still go take a look. We're already here—maybe we'll find something else."
Before he had even finished speaking, the Space Ripple detector on the ship began to sound.
It went from a low-level warning to the highest alert in just over two seconds—not even three seconds!
"Damn..." Nutrient Solution's eyes widened in astonishment. "First One, you... what kind of Miraculous Operation was that?"
"What the hell..." Qu Jianlei was completely speechless too. Wasn't my luck supposed to be getting better?
But this was not the time to dwell on it. He immediately said, "We can't keep flying forward!"
Once a Space Barrier was breached where Space Ripples appeared, the area affected was impossible to predict.
If it was large enough, it could even swallow an entire star system. Wasn't the legendary Traveler Nebula an entire nebula that had been swallowed? So even though they were still over ten million kilometers away, they absolutely could not advance any farther.
And if the affected range was small... it still would not be that small. At the very least, it would span hundreds of thousands of kilometers!
