Time always slipped away silently, especially in an era of such extreme chaos as the present.
In order to build a great ship capable of crossing the Sea of Nothingness, Bai Zhi spent a full half year on preliminary preparations alone. The time and effort invested were beyond counting.
Although the Seven Pillars formed the ship's skeleton, the core used to fill it was world origin. Nothing could exist within the void, and since it also possessed the property of draining energy, even Myth could not remain there for long. To pack everyone up and take them away, the first thing they needed was a sufficiently sturdy barrier.
The Final Sea, formed from the spirituality accumulated across era after era, would serve as the fuel driving this great ship forward, while the World Barrier constructed from world origin would be its hard outer shell.
Of the two, the latter was especially important. If the World Barrier's strength and thickness failed to meet the requirements, the ship could very well disintegrate in the void, ending in shipwreck and death.
No one knew how vast the Sea of Nothingness truly was, nor did anyone know how long it would take to cross it. But according to the estimates of a certain Laplace Demon, it would take at least a hundred thousand years at the bare minimum, while the actual voyage might exceed ten million years.
