Inside the Quasi-Spacetime Bubble's structure, a complex and chaotic rule environment had crushed those physical objects to fragments.
In the past, Ronan might not have understood what had happened. Now, the answer seemed obvious:
Those "stolen goods" had to be materials that Shan Jiu and the other "thieves" had brought over from the Processing Plant on the other side of the Veil, or perhaps from some earlier stage in the process.
They had been placed in the Quasi-Spacetime Bubble for analysis within Myriad Transformations Deep Blue.
Now the Fragmented Rule Toxins they carried from the Polar Domain had been extracted and allowed to take full effect, twisting the spacetime structure inside into chaos.
To the Sky Blue Box and the evolving Quasi-Spacetime Bubble, the materials themselves no longer mattered much.
But as Ronan looked at the debris, the work he had put into studying the Compendium of Myriad Heavens Ritual Objects over the past few days—especially the sections on deities' corresponding symbols and materials—paid off.
It also helped that the Old Man's Parent-Child Course had been strict. Combined with what Ronan remembered from the Warehouse, another glance or two was enough for him to roughly identify which deity each piece of debris corresponded to.
With a few reasonable inferences, he could then trace the source of the influence on the Quasi-Spacetime Bubble's structure to a particular part of the Myriad Heavens Divine Kingdoms system.
In a sense, this was a projection of the rules above the Polar Domain...
Probably. At the very least, there were similarities.
When Ronan had been above the Polar Domain, he had stood on a remote "shore," unable to make out the structure of the "inland" regions.
The last time, he had been in unusually good shape, but that was because everyone had benefited from the
