"Fallen Firmament"
Chen Fan stood on the raised platform, looked around, and felt the strong wind blowing, making his clothes rustle. He looked up at the sky, where there were thin clouds and visibility was only a few hundred meters.
You can see the Copper Pipe disappearing into the clouds.
"It's been repaired to 14,000 kilometers?"
"Yes, Domain Lord," the Black Tortoise City Lord replied respectfully. "The highest point of the 'Black Tortoise Sky Pillar' is 14,000 kilometers above the ground, and it is still rising. It is expected to reach a height of 20,000 kilometers within fifteen days."
Chen Fan didn't speak, but just stood there silently pondering.
This world is too bizarre.
His knowledge and common sense from the previous world are completely useless in this world.
His main purpose for this trip was to build Signal Tower here. The rest could wait until the "Black Tortoise Sky Pillar" reached 20,000 kilometers in altitude. At that time, he would need to build another Signal Tower at a platform 20,000 kilometers above the ground.
After doing all this.
Chen Fan embarked on a ten-day inspection tour, during which he visited various regions of the Eternal Night Continent to conduct a detailed on-site examination of the local development.
They were all undercover investigations.
The development in each region is progressing well and is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Finally.
Ten days later.
Chen Fan returned to the Jiangbei Mortal Domain. After taking a hot shower, feeling somewhat exhausted, he stood on the Northbank Defense Line again, gazing at the horizon. The "Eternal Night Continent" was under protection for three years.
The Heavenly Dao also takes three years to set up the array.
After the three-year protection period ends.
The Eternal Night Formation will reappear on the continent, and at that time, all of them will be perfect nodes. The Strange Tide will be unable to land directly from any point and will have to be attacked directly. This is the basic defense.
Every "Second-Level Continent" that has passed the beginner stage has basic defenses, but the so-called basic defenses mean that everyone has them, and the fact that everyone has them means that in some situations, no one has them.
They wanted to strengthen the defenses of a continent.
Therefore, it is necessary to possess some special defenses, such as...
Just then
Chen Fan, who was standing on the Northbank Defense Line in a daze, suddenly felt the Message Talisman in his arms buzzing and getting hot. It was a message from Black Tortoise City, a very short message that arrived the instant he received it.
Chen Fan frowned, and without the slightest hesitation, turned and walked towards the Teleportation Formation not far away.
After Incense Stick.
Chen Fan reappeared at the Black Tortoise Sky Pillar located on the Black Tortoise Plains. Black Tortoise City had exceeded its work target, completing the construction of the "Black Tortoise Sky Pillar" to a height of 20,000 kilometers above the ground in just ten days.
And a platform was built.
He is standing on this platform now.
However, this time when we contacted him, it wasn't to ask him to build Signal Tower.
At the top of the Copper Pipe next to it, a dozen or so Mortal Domain Member in uniforms were tentatively continuing to build the Copper Pipe higher up. This section of the Copper Pipe had not yet been converted into an illusory form and was only temporarily secured with "ropes." Only when it was converted into Phantom Copper Pipe could it be completely secured.
Only.
I don't know if there's a problem with the quality of the Copper Pipe, or what the situation is.
A newly installed one-meter-long Copper Pipe immediately turned to ashes and vanished.
Domain Lord
The Black Tortoise City Lord asked somewhat nervously, "Look at this..."
Chen Fan frowned, and after watching for a while, he waved to signal the surrounding Mortal Domain Member to leave. He then personally remade a brand new Copper Pipe and connected it to the Copper Pipe at the very top.
He was certain the Copper Pipe were fine; after all, they didn't have an expiration date or anything like that. But what he was seeing was something he truly didn't understand. The next moment...
The Copper Pipe he personally crafted also turned to ashes.
This
Somewhat skeptical, he forged a brand new Copper Pipe and quickly transformed it into Phantom Copper Pipe. Then, something incomprehensible happened: the Copper Pipe that had been rapidly transformed into Phantom Copper Pipe slowly turned to ashes once again.
This was the first time he had seen the "Phantom Copper Pipe" damaged.
The damage was so severe that even the Altar could not be repaired.
Or rather, it's more like being completely erased.
"That Mr. Na."
After a pause, Chen Fan finally spoke, and the Mr. Na slowly gathered around him, his voice hoarse and somewhat grave.
Chen Fan.
"You seem to have discovered something remarkable."
"Try again, see if you can build Signal Tower here."
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. On this platform 20,000 kilometers above the ground, he built another Signal Tower. However, the next moment, almost the entire upper half of the Signal Tower turned to ashes and disappeared into the air, leaving only the base behind.
The remaining section is flush with the original Copper Pipe.
He understood.
An altitude of 20,000 kilometers above the ground is a limit; beyond this limit, no building can be constructed.
Limitations of Heaven and Earth?
Divine Laws?
Somewhat skeptical, he immediately waved his hand and created another Level-20 Heavenly Dao Cannon on the spot, placing it on the platform. It consumed 90 million of his Eerie Stone, and fired it into the sky.
This single attack used 500 million of his Eerie Stone.
The next moment
"Boom!"
Blazing Pillar, like divine punishment, blasted from the platform into the sky. This time, he saw it clearly; he saw a layer of Light Curtain slowly emerge above his head under such an attack.
The Light Curtain was composed of heptagons.
It has a pale Gold Grade.
It looked extremely fragile, but the full force of the Level-20 Heavenly Dao Cannon only barely made it visible and caused a slight ripple.
The instant the Golden Light Pillar dissipated.
The "Light Curtain" overhead nearby also slowly dissipated.
It was as if nothing had happened.
20,000 kilometers.
This is the limitation of Heaven and Earth; it can develop freely, but it cannot exceed an altitude of 20,000 kilometers above the ground.
"This"
The Crippled Monkey and the Black Tortoise City Lord, standing to the side, were stunned, their worldviews shaken. They had considered many reasons, but none of them had imagined that the Heaven and Earth were limiting their ability to continue exploring upwards.
"Young Master."
"Is it possible that the Thunderstorm Sea?"
"No way."
Chen Fan shook his head. He was certain it wasn't the Thunderstorm Sea, because after he fired that shot, a panel appeared on the Endless Night Lord Panel Depths of the Soul.
"Bite."
"You have become the first Player to come into contact with the Fallen Firmament, successfully triggering the Achievement 'Direct to the Firmament'."
"Reward: Dark Technology Source Point *1"
The control panel is a long-lost sight; at least the word "Player" is rarely seen.
This is the second time we've met.
The first time I saw him was a long, long time ago, when he built his first Max-Level Building, triggering the Achievement "One Step Ahead." This is the second time. At an altitude of 20,000 kilometers, it's "Fallen Firmament."
It was just contact.
They then obtained the "Dark Technology Source Point," which is enough to prove the Rare of this place.
"That Mr. Na."
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "Have you ever heard of the 20,000-kilometer limit?"
"Absolutely not."
The Mr. Na shook his head firmly and said, "I can confirm that. Perhaps after the Eternal Night Continent advances to the Third-Level Continent, I will learn about this matter after receiving more secret information, but right now I know absolutely nothing about it."
"However, this restriction seems to be completely useless."
"After all, no building on any other continent exceeds this height."
"Certainly."
The Mr. Na paused, glancing at the "Black Tortoise Sky Pillar" beneath his feet: "Except for those from the Eternal Night Continent; they just love exploration too much." "Let's smash it to pieces and go take a look."
Chen Fan said softly.
"How could that be?"
The Mr. Na said helplessly, "Didn't we just try it? A level 20 Heavenly Dao Cannon only managed to create a slight ripple in that 'Light Curtain'."
That's enough.
Chen Fan laughed, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the Elevator, preparing to return to the Mortal Domain.
There's no need for Black Tortoise Sky Pillar to come anytime soon.
He has obtained all the information he wanted.
There's an old saying in his hometown.
Even gods, if they bleed, will eventually die!
This "Light Curtain" was indeed the strongest defense he had ever seen, but it still managed to create ripples. The fact that it could create ripples meant that it could be damaged, and the fact that it could be damaged meant that if there were enough Heavenly Dao Cannon, and they all bombarded the same point at the same time, a gap would appear in this "Light Curtain." That's why he had this idea.
It's all because of those four words on the panel.
"Fallen Firmament".
This means...
The owner of this "Light Curtain" has most likely perished, making it unclaimed. That's why he wanted to blast a hole in it to see what was on it. Northbank Defense Line.
Standing atop the City Wall once more, he slammed the newly acquired "Dark Technology Source Point" onto the "Mushroom Cloud" technology on the Military Branch, marking his fifth technology activation.
He told himself this silently.
We can't go too far down the "military" path. We must develop the "economic" branch of technology. In the future, when we obtain Dark Technology Source Point, we must invest them in the "economic" branch.
So he'll just look at it; he definitely won't turn it on.
Once the second technology in the Military Branch is unlocked, the details of the third technology in the Military Branch slowly emerge. "Dark Technology Name": Anti-Aircraft Cannon Enhancement.
"Dark Technology Grade": None.
"Dark Technology Type": Military Boost.
"Dark Technology Effect": The Anti-Aircraft Cannon will automatically lock onto non-friendly flying objects within its range and continuously lock on to fire automatically for aerial interception, with the rate of fire increasing to thirty rounds per breath.
"Required Dark Technology Source Point": 1 point.
Chen Fan suddenly fell silent, remaining silent for a long time.
He discovered.
The "Dark Technology Tree" is a trap.
The upgrades on the Military Branch are the most obvious and constantly tempting, especially this "technology," which is simply the best defense against the "Sky-Piercing Pillar Nuclear Warhead version." Ten Anti-Aircraft Cannon can form an extremely impressive firepower network, and a hundred can form an existence more terrifying than the Berlin Flak Tower. As long as there are enough of them, distributed in every corner of the continent, it can ensure that no missile can fall into the interior of the continent.
Especially the extra boost to rate of fire.
A "Dark Technology Source Point," not a bad deal.
"Call."
He took a deep breath, and even so, he made up his mind that in the future, when he obtained "Dark Technology Source Point", he would prioritize lighting up the "Economy". It would be best to max out the Economy, since the Economy needs time to develop, and the sooner it is lit up, the better.
No "economic" Dark Technology is directly given to the Eerie Stone.
These are all things that need time to develop and be mined in the Eerie Ore and the Black Abyss.
Then he walked towards the Behind Nameless Mountain.
I did not take the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail.
Instead, they walk on their own two legs.
He liked to think while walking. According to the information he had overheard from the "Feng Qiya Continent", it would be a long time before the other side could advance to the Third-Level Continent. At least three to five years was not an option. Putting aside everything else, the other side did not even have a "Continent Core".
This is also the most difficult to obtain.
There will be no war in the near future.
He was pondering the pros and cons of using the "Heavenly Dao Cannon" to blast open the "Fallen Firmament." He didn't know if there would be any benefits after blasting it open, what was on top, or even whether he should blast it open at all.
If you have specific information, just tell him what's on it.
He took out the Heaven-Questioning Bell from his pocket, shook it casually without much hope, and then put it back in his pocket.
But soon...
He suddenly froze on the spot.
Because what he heard in his ears was not the words "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed," but rather...
"Fallen Firmament."
"It is the Firmament of the 'Primordial Continent,' which fell after the Primordial Continent shattered, forming Endless Firmament Firmament canopy."
"If we can break through the 'Fallen Firmament,' we can absorb a portion of the 'Firmament' of the Primordial Continent, allowing endless 'Primordial Spiritual Energy' to spill across the continent through the breach, forming a series of Black Abyss."
Chen Fan stopped in his tracks, took out the Heaven-Questioning Bell from his pocket again, and saw that it was now flashing a Yellow Grade light, a reminder that the answer had been given and it was time to pay.
One million Eerie Stone, pay up quickly.
"You bastard!"
His expression was slightly strange. Sometimes, Heaven-Questioning Bell wouldn't know the answer to even the Xiaowen he asked, yet Heaven-Questioning Bell could provide an answer to questions he had absolutely no hope of answering.
But he soon realized that it was not so simple.
If the panel hadn't given him the name, he wouldn't have known about "Fallen Firmament," let alone how to ask about the "Heaven-Questioning Bell." At least
Now he understood that shattering the Fallen Firmament would only bring benefits and no harm, and judging from the answer, he should only be able to create a temporary opening, which wouldn't last forever.
So the next thing to consider is...
How many Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao Cannon?
Ten Gates?
One hundred doors?
One hundred level Level-20 Heavenly Dao Cannon —that's a force capable of initiating a continent-wide war.
Unconsciously.
While pondering, Chen Fan had already reached the Back Mountain the Nameless Mountain, putting these thoughts aside for the moment and trying out the "Nuclear Warhead version of the Sky-Piercing Pillar." Soon...
A Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar, formed from countless white lines, slowly solidified.
The next moment!
"Boom!"
A level 20 Heavenly Dao Cannon nearby quickly activated after a brief period of preparation.
A Blazing Pillar, carrying an irresistible force, slammed into the Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar.
The "Dark Technology" Mushroom Cloud had no level limit on the Sky-Piercing Pillar; he wanted to see if Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar could withstand its damage.
