The intelligence war continues, but time waits for no one.

After resting for a while, Hu Wei led the two of them to catch up with Bai Fei.

She has found the way to her destination.

"Brother Hu, I have a question. Didn't you guys not know where we were? How come we're so clear about which direction to go now?"

Hu Wei burst out laughing.

"Although the prophecy is vague, it can roughly define a range, and we are heading towards that range."

Cheng Shi nodded thoughtfully, then a greater doubt arose in his heart.

According to the Void Energy Department, the Void and reality are in one-to-one correspondence. Even if the four of them were traversing the Void, their speed would not be much faster. It would be almost no different from walking in reality.

So, what is the significance of coming up into the Void?

Yan Chun clearly wanted to ask this question as well. Cheng Shi saw him almost open his mouth several times, but he held back in order to maintain his persona as a "Folly" Believer.

Cheng Shi was bored, and seeing that there was something amusing, he naturally didn't want to speak first.

They even deliberately slowed down or sped up a few steps to give him an excuse that no one was around to convince himself.

Finally, after walking in silence for an hour or so, and seeing Cheng Shi's figure getting closer and closer to Bai Fei who was leading the way, Yan Chun couldn't help but speak up.

"The Void and reality are in one-to-one correspondence; there is no point in us continuing down this path."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi was in front, couldn't help but laugh and started to chuckle.

In the game of "holding back questions," the Believer of "Folly" lost.

He still voiced his doubts, even though his words sounded Folly and more like a question than a inquiry. But he had at least succumbed to curiosity.

Hu Wei glanced at him, chuckled, and was about to reply when he heard Bai Fei stop in his tracks and say in a deep voice:

"Arrive."

"Puff--"

Cheng Shi was Cheng Shi happier now.

I held back all the way, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, only to find the answer revealed the next second.

One act of taking initiative can lead to a lifetime of trauma!

Praising amusement—what could be more entertaining than making a Folly Believer suffer?

Yan Chun wasn't unaware of Cheng Shi's laughter, but his face was ashen, and he had no intention of paying any attention to him.

Hu Wei was also smiling. He strode over to Bai Fei's side and closed his eyes again to sense the Void.

A short while later, his expression turned serious, he nodded, and said loudly:

"Everyone, step back a little."

Cheng Shi's greatest strength is his ability to listen to advice. Upon hearing this, he immediately ran thirty meters away.

The speed was so fast that even the composed Yan Chun, who had been retreating, was dumbfounded.

After the two had retreated a sufficient distance, Hu Wei once again took out his greatsword, which was a fusion of Bloodfire.

With a roar, his muscles bulged, and he gripped the greatsword with both hands, using all his strength to thrust it downwards, plunging the blood-soaked tip of the sword straight into the Void beneath his feet.

"Boom--"

Blazing Flame erupted from beneath Hu Wei's feet, instantly illuminating the entire Void like iron trees adorned with silver flowers.

"Open it!"

With a roar, the Void beneath everyone's feet suddenly trembled, as if a hole had been torn in a solid piece of cotton cloth. The pitch blackness was now broken by a dazzling White Line.

The White Line cracked wider and wider, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a rift valley.

Cheng Shi stared in shock at everything, feeling the raging winds of Nothingness erupting from the rift valley, dumbfounded.

"This is..."

"Shortcut!"

Bai Fei, unusually, answered his question. The moment she finished speaking, she once again took out the invisible longbow and fired two arrows down into the ravine.

If it weren't for the raging flames illuminating everything, these two dim lights would have been almost invisible.

As the two arrows were fired, the roaring wind that had just surged forth vanished.

Just then, Hu Wei gave the order.

"Wall of True Knowledge, quick! Use the Wall of True Knowledge to block this Void and gap!"

Cheng Shi, keep the knight alive and do everything you can to maintain his Divine Power!

Upon hearing the order, Yan Chun's pupils contracted sharply.

He looked somewhat shocked, but his hands moved quickly.

He pulled out his knight's lance, pointed it downwards, and thrust it into the gap. The Void gap, which was struggling to heal, was blocked by an invisible wall!

It's here! Void Ashes!

One instance is a unit of the Wall of True Knowledge.

This single unit is not large in volume, but when extended, it can still block a considerable area.

Indeed, all the Wall of True Knowledge are, at the very beginning, transparent materials with ample elasticity, like clay.

It can be molded into various shapes by the Wall Knight, but once it is formed, it is indestructible.

That is why the geographical advantages created by the Wall Knight deserve the evaluation of being "unexpected".

Because you have no idea what kind of invisible wall is blocking your way!

Yan Chun's construction speed is very fast, and Cheng Shi's logistics speed is not slow either.

He raised his hand and cast Mental Technique imbued with Shared Divine Grace, allowing the Ray of Healing to shine equally on everyone's heads.

In such a full state, the Wall Knight moved even more nimbly, and in no time, despite the pressure from the Void, he managed to build a complete passage that could accommodate one person.

Yan Chun was clearly a cautious person; to prevent the passage from collapsing, he even built another layer inside the passage.

As soon as the double-layered passage was formed, Hu Wei suddenly drew his sword and escaped from the Void.

He tossed his greatsword aside with a clang, then lowered his head, bracing himself on his knees and panting heavily, clearly exhausted.

Cheng Shi cast a Healing Art at the opportune moment, then asked with a rather puzzled expression:

"We're getting ready to go out?"

"Go out? No, go in."

"Go in?"

Cheng Shi was taken aback. He peered into the Void that was blocked by the Wall of True Knowledge and could not be closed, and frowned.

He realized he had just overlooked something.

Logically speaking, if this is Void Rift, then the power that grinds away at all reality cannot be resisted even by the Wall of True Knowledge.

But the passage in front of them was not erased; instead, it became even more solidified.

The originally transparent high wall gradually became stained with mottled colors, spreading like ivy across the outer wall of the passage.

What's inside...?

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Fei took the lead and jumped in.

As her figure disappeared from everyone's sight, Hu Wei recovered and jumped in laughing.

"You'll find out when you get down!"

Yan Chun hesitated, as did Cheng Shi, but there was no point in staying where they were now, so they exchanged a glance and jumped down.

After Cheng Shi fell into another space along the passage, he realized that he had left the Void and arrived in a space he had never been before.

This space felt like a quagmire, pulling at my entire body, and everywhere I looked was filled with vibrant, ever-changing Change.

Yes, it's about Change.

The feeling was strange. Cheng Shi felt as if he had fallen into a gel jelly. With each step he took, his various senses were stretched and deformed by the squeezed gel, and his sense of touch, hearing, and vision all became abnormal.

He looked at Bai Fei in the distance like an elongated inflatable doll, Hu Wei beside him like a large, shrunk pancake, and Yan Chun above him like a falling square table.

He himself was like a spider web, with his limbs stretched infinitely and his body disintegrating in layers.

In this space where there are no reference standards or scales of measurement, every movement reveals a completely new "world".

Because it is constantly Change.

This feeling was so novel that Cheng Shi felt like he was home.

He amused himself happily for a while, like a naive schoolchild, before finally asking:

"@#%...#..."

"..."

"#¥...¥&..."

The sound here also Change; he only heard a sound coming from afar, but when it reached his ears, it turned into all sorts of strange noises.

Cheng Shi couldn't hear what Hu Wei was saying at all; he only saw Hu Wei's figure "swimming" downwards, so he obediently followed him.

Only when the dazzling sights before him made Cheng Shi feel bored and nauseous instead of anything new did the two big shots in front of him slowly come to a stop.

Hu Wei drew his greatsword again, but in this strange space, the greatsword, flowing with Blood and Fire, looked more like a lush apricot tree.

A large pancake was seen waving an apricot tree around and banging it wildly at a mirror-like object in front of it. Soon after, a huge suction force suddenly burst out from around the pancake, sucking everyone in.
