Predicament IV

As he watched the other person leave, Zhang Rongfang's eyes darkened slightly.

This Sea of Forgetfulness is like a vast prison, except that prisoners who are held there for too long will be digested and swallowed up.

Only the strongest individuals among them can persevere to the end and become one of the various kinds of creatures within it.

'Then, let's continue.'

Zhang Rongfang felt that his consciousness and spirit had increased by at least 30%.

He knew in his heart that regardless of whether he would find any clues here, it would be good to treat it as a form of cultivation.

"Stranger, what are you looking for?"

Not far away, in the black sea, a twisted humanoid figure, entirely black, slowly emerged from the water and asked him a question.

"I want to create a world of absolute An Ning. A world without conflict or danger, where everyone can live and work in peace and enjoy the life they desire."

Zhang Rongfang was not surprised by the other party's appearance. The fact that someone like Bottom Crawler could appear meant that this Sea of Forgetfulness at the bottom naturally contained many consciousnesses that had forgotten themselves.

"But such a simple wish is always hindered by all sorts of difficulties and obstacles."

His eyes, blazing with crimson Blood Flame, fixed on the other person.

"That's why I'm here seeking a solution."

"This is just a bunch of losers. Losers have no right to answer this question," the humanoid replied dejectedly.

"Sometimes, success or failure may be separated by only a fine line," Zhang Rongfang replied.

Now, as long as he can figure out a way to deal with the possibility that the Heavenly Light might become stronger, he can continue to live peacefully.

Judging from the various investigations outside the Sky Curtain, he had actually come to a realization these past few days. Outside, it was all ruins; there was nothing there.

Instead of rushing out like the Moon God, it's better to stay here and enjoy life.

The Interaction Zone has everything. Why bother trying to rush out?

Wasn't his initial wish simply to live a quiet, relaxed, and leisurely life?

"You are special," the twisted humanoid continued from within the Sea of Forgetfulness. "You seem to be able to ignore the immense nature of the Sea of Forgetfulness."

"I didn't ignore it; I just still have a lot of my body left outside," Zhang Rongfang replied.

"Then take us away," the man suddenly said. "We have been forgotten here for far too long. If you wish, you can go directly to the Sea of Forgetfulness Core, where you have control over the entire space."

"Control?" Zhang Rongfang immediately became interested.

"The Sea of Forgetfulness is a shared space that includes all Interaction Zone. When the gods Gods and Buddhas were created, it was considered that since they are immortal, system disorder would inevitably occur over time."

"That's why the Sea of Forgetfulness periodically reduces the number of Gods and Buddhas to maintain balance," the twisted humanoid figure replied.

"If you can master the Sea of Forgetfulness Core, then you might be able to find a way to completely escape all suffering."

"The way to escape all suffering? You mean, to stay away from the Heavenly Light?" Zhang Rongfang realized.

"Yes, this is the solution that all Interaction Zone are searching for. It is also the hope that all powerful beings outside are seeking."

When the strongest god and the strongest body unite, an unparalleled, perfect individual can be created. Thus, one can break free from the White Pupil and journey to the Boundless Void to find a new home.

"Then let's give it a try," Zhang Rongfang straightened up, still somewhat interested in the Sea of Forgetfulness Core.

If he could master this Sea of Forgetfulness, he might be able to acquire a great deal of information in a very short time.

"From here, fly towards the center until you see a solitary island. There is a special guardian on the island. Defeat it, and you will gain the right to enter the Sea of Forgetfulness Core."

"But be careful, there, divine power and influence are useless. Just like the outside world, there is no Sky Curtain amplification. Only the most authentic individual contests." The humanoid figure said in a deep voice.

"I see."

Zhang Rongfang spread his wings and gently floated up.

He gazed at the boundless Sea of Forgetfulness, deciding to go and try it out, hoping to gain something different.

***Outside the Sky Curtain.

Is this the place?

Jade Pavilion gazed curiously at the enormous black crack below.

All around was an endless expanse of black earth. Apart from the wandering evil spirits, there was nothing else.

"It's really well hidden. No wonder no one has discovered it for so long."

She exclaimed in admiration, glancing at the Moon God who had led the way.

"Let's go down and take a look." Laf looked at Heart Fusion beside him.

"Fine, fine, it's my turn to do the dirty work again." Heart Fusion took a step forward helplessly.

He leaped lightly, and a pair of wings woven from Black Spirit Thread unfurled behind him.

With a flap of its wings, it propelled him downwards.

In the blink of an eye, Heart Fusion disappeared into the dark underground fissure.

But very quickly, within minutes.

Heart Fusion burst out of the crack again and shook her head slightly at Laf.

There was nothing inside.

Laf's face darkened as he looked at the Moon God.

"How so?"

"I've said before, my Interaction Zone may already be destroyed," the Moon God said in a deep voice.

"Destroyed?" Laf gave a forced smile. "Looks like you're forcing me to take action against you?"

"Whether you take action or not is your decision, but the Interaction Zone is gone, and that's a fait accompli," the Moon God replied calmly.

If the other party continues to pressure him, then he might as well fight and escape.

If he were afraid of death, he wouldn't have rushed out of the Sky Curtain alone and into the unknown outside world back then.

Laf and his two companions clearly understood this principle.

At the edge of the crack in the ground, all four fell silent for a moment.

Jade Pavilion and Heart Fusion gradually concealed themselves, blocking the Moon God's left and right sides to prevent him from escaping.

"Even though it's destroyed, we can still find some ruins and remnants. There's still a lot to loot in the large Interaction Zone." Laf suddenly smiled slightly.

He slowly approached and patted the Moon God on the shoulder.

"I've been out for quite some time now, and I really can't remember the exact location." The Moon God suddenly revealed a hint of Yue Dewen's signature smile.

"It's okay, we're comrades. If you really don't want to, then forget it."

Laf understood. "Let's go back; it's time to exchange the goods at the Perpetual Palace."

"Thank you, Commander." The Moon God remained expressionless, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief.

This is definitely not the entrance to the Interaction Zone; it's just a similar crack. He deliberately led us in the wrong direction.

"Let's retreat." Laf waved to the Jade Pavilion and Heart Fusion. Then he turned around, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and sped off in another direction.

The Moon God squinted at the other person, about to follow closely.

Suddenly the other person paused.

"Someone has passed through here recently."

Laf suddenly stopped and looked down at the ground.

On the black muddy ground, a few steps in front of him, a row of clear, small footprints were visible to the group.

"Jade Pavilion, go take a look."

"Okay." Jade Pavilion a step and brushed past the Moon God, following the footprints on the ground to trace the trail in reverse.

It only took a few minutes.

She quickly led the three of them to a brand new underground fissure.

The Moon God had already recognized the spot where he had emerged. "Do you recognize him?" Laf, who had clearly sensed something, looked at him with a smile.

"My Interaction Zone is destroyed. I naturally don't recognize this place," the Moon God said coldly.

"Really?" Laf laughed. "Then..."

Suddenly, his figure transformed into a streak of black and red light, leaping into the crevice and heading straight for the entrance to the deep Interaction Zone.

Bottom of the crack.

An invisible, transparent ripple is supporting Laf, who is standing on it.

"Since this isn't your Interaction Zone, then we don't need to give you any special treatment."

He looked at the three Moon God who were following behind.

He raised one hand and thrust it downwards with great force.

Pfft!

The ripples below suddenly paused, then quickly turned black, reverting to the Sky Curtain material composed of Black Spirit Thread.

"What great luck! Look, look! We found the entrance to another large Interaction Zone right near where Lao Yue led the way. What a coincidence! Don't you think?"

Laf burst out laughing.

"This time I'm going to get a new set of Martial Arts Diagram! My furnace core hasn't been changed in ages!" Jade Pavilion excitedly and matter-of-factly.

"I also want to change my skills. I don't think I'm suited for the current blueprint furnace," Heart Fusion said with a grin, raising an eyebrow.

The Moon God remained silent and did not speak again.

He suddenly recalled the last time the Heavenly Light shone brightly. A large hole had appeared in the Sky Curtain.

Was it the same way that time, with outsiders invading and then being absorbed and imprisoned in Great Abyss?

He felt an unusually complex emotion.

He cared whether the Great Ling was destroyed, but not to the point of sacrificing everything for it.

At this moment, staying out of it is his best option.

But at the moment she made this decision, the memories of the Great Dao Sect over the past hundred years involuntarily surfaced in the Moon God Goddess's mind.

Countless faces and expressions flashed through his mind.

In the end, it all came down to a few faces.

His only remaining old friends, his former lovers, and the two apprentices he never inquired about when he left—all of these were Yue Dewen's past, and also his past.

"So."

Laf suddenly reached out and stabbed, tearing a large gash in the Sky Curtain beneath his feet.

Let's go.

His body transformed into a black line and suddenly burrowed into the crack.

The other two laughed and followed closely behind, quickly squeezing into the crevice.

Only the Moon God remained. He paused silently for a moment, then followed her.

The four of them passed through an extremely thick black Sky Curtain, and suddenly the space in front of them opened up.

Laf was the first to fly out of the Sky Curtain, hovering gently in the wide interlayer of space.

His entire body was enveloped in dense black arcs of electricity, clearly a divine power that he naturally possessed.

Looking down from the interlayer, he could sense a vibrant life force on the earth that was far more abundant than in the other Interaction Zone, even from a distance.

"It's been such a long, long time since I've encountered such a rich Interaction Zone!" He opened his arms, his eyes filled with delighted admiration.

***The Bottom of Great Abyss: The Sea of Forgetfulness.

Zhang Rongfang, who was preparing to explore the Sea of Forgetfulness, suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and abruptly raised his head, as if he could see through all obstacles and see the direction of the Sky Curtain.

"??" The Sky Curtain that had been bothering him seemed to have been forcibly torn apart by some external force.

"So, the Sky Curtain isn't completely destroyed after just one tear," Zhang Rongfang suddenly realized.

So, the Sky Curtain can repair itself after being damaged once. "Does that mean I can tear the Sky Curtain apart and get out now?"

What he had always been worried about was that after he tore down the Sky Curtain, this Interaction Zone world would not be protected.

Now, it seems someone has validated his concerns.

"This world is really interesting."

When I wanted to go out, I could never find a way to have the best of both worlds.

Just when I didn't want to go out anymore, someone kindly offered to help me and relieved my concerns.

He straightened up, and the wings on his back slowly began to flap.
