Inside the Bone Membrane.
Mining never stopped in the Gray White Rift.
This had once been a seam in the outer wall of the Divine Body, where the wreckage of 312 universes had been compressed together. On the surface, it looked like nothing more than hard, dead bone. Dig deeper, though, and it was packed with remnants of the Great Universe compressed to their limit. Even a piece chipped off at random carried the aura of High-Dimensional Laws.
As usual, the Abyss Players showed off their talent for naming things and gave the place a plain name.
Load-Bearing Wall Mining Zone No. 3.
Right now, No. 3 Mining Zone was so lively it seemed ready to blow the Bone Membrane off.
"Demolition crew, fall back! This bone's too hard. Bring out the Abyss High-Explosive Array Disks!"
"Don't block my pickaxe up front! My mining Proficiency's almost maxed out!"
"Who gets this gold-edged bone hide? Whoever touched it first? I was here first!"
"Bullshit! I planted a flag in the crack ages ago. My ID's carved right there. That makes it private property!"
Thousands of Abyss Players clung to the towering Bone Wall, taking turns hammering it with Spirit Power Pickaxes, Origin Flying Swords, Rule Drills, and Disposable Self-Destruct Array Disks. Fire flared, Law Fragments flew, and they made a complete mess of the mining zone.
At the edge, dozens of Pseudo-Hongmeng Wanderers had been drawn in by high-paying jobs.
They huddled behind jutting rocks, their eyelids twitching at the sight.
In the past, they had held their breath whenever they passed through this area, afraid of disturbing the wills lingering in the wall. Now these lunatics with "Abyss" in their names were sticking Demolition Talismans directly onto True God Remains.
Three layers at a time, no less.
