The spatial barrier at the bottom of the Demon-Suppressing Prison and the spatial barrier at the bottom of Soul-Gathering Valley were both transparent, just like this dimensional space fissure.
Looking through that transparent wall, one could see the abyss.
When you looked into the abyss, the abyss did not actually look back at you. It was simply there.
The abyss Jing Jiu had seen back then was the void between the Mortal World and the Netherworld. He knew exactly what lay on the other side and felt no fear.
The lives tainted by the Dark Matter Sea did not frighten him either, not even the mother nest he had once encountered.
Only the other side of the universe, perhaps even the truth of the universe, could unsettle him.
"You can think of this as the true abyss," Shen Yunmai said, "but I think it's more like a well leading from the Dark Matter Sea into the main universe, or an undercurrent."
Through nine days of study at Base 857, Jing Jiu had acquired a great deal of knowledge about the Dark Matter Sea and understood what he meant.
Human civilization had deduced the existence of dark matter in ancient times, yet had never discovered it.
Only when numerous dimensional space fissures appeared in the universe over a hundred thousand years ago did humanity see that sea through these eyes.
Dimensional space fissures appeared in all sorts of ways, seemingly without any pattern, more like random events. Yet after analyzing data from an enormous number of cases, humanity reached a conclusion that left them somewhat at a loss-those spatial fissures appeared in the wake of human activity.
As humanity began making extensive use of gravitational force fields, traveling in curvature spaceships, and passing through curvature-rate voids more and more often, those
