858: Chapter 55: Sea of Void Abyss and Professionals (5300) 858: Chapter 55: Sea of Void Abyss and Professionals (5300) The Domain of Void relies on the existence of life.

Without life, there are no souls, thoughts, or dreams; neither is there faith nor persistence, nor are there delusions or resentments…

Be it good or bad, and whether evil or virtuous, they must exist in this world before anything else can follow.

If the material world is shattered and all life destroyed, even if the Domain of Void can barely hang on, it will ultimately vanish with the wind, much like how a corpse remains for a long time after death, but eventually, the flesh decays into mud, and bones shatter into ash.

But…

Is this really the essence of the Domain of Void?

If one were to say that in common human cognition, the Domain of Void is but a reflection of the material world…

then why does such a reflection like the Domain of Void exist?

Moreover, a reflection must necessarily have a medium.

If we say that the material world is the person looking in the mirror, the Domain of Void is the phantasm within the mirror…

Then, the mirror itself that casts this shadow, what exactly is its essence?

“That is the base of the endlessly profound Domain of Void, which the pre-era civilization referred to as ‘Abyss’ and ‘Sea of Void’.”

Adalbert took a piece of paper from the table in the laboratory, drew a diagram with a black pen for Ian, and explained meticulously: “What we Humans can perceive as the Domain of Void is essentially just a bubble on the surface of this boundless ocean, a light flickering within this infinite abyss.”

“But this ocean itself is utterly void, devoid of any meaning, and thus called the Sea of Void.”

“How to put it…” he thought for a moment, unable to find more suitable adjectives instantly, but Ian spoke: “Just like the planets in the universe — albeit tiny, merely dust particles in the vast cosmos, the empty cosmic space is the true void, devoid of anything else barring the particles it carries, devoid of any other significance.”

“Yes!”

Hearing Ian’s description, Adalbert happily wrote down ‘Void’ and ‘Sea of Void’ on the paper: “As I said, the vocabulary of the pre-era civilization definitely has its meanings — overall, even if the Domain of Void shatters, the Sea of Void still exists, but generally, there wouldn’t be any life in the Sea of Void unless one could find another Domain of Void beyond its endless reaches.”

“But, just as Terra has some powerful Magical Beasts and Sublimators who can soar in the void even if Terra is shattered, there are also powerful beings in the Domain of Void who can wander through the Sea of Void.”

“The Blood Demon is such a creature of the Domain of Void.”

“Regrettably, aside from the Domain of Void originating from Terra, there currently is no other grand Domain of Void…

I originally thought that Terra was the only world of life, and the Domain of Void was the only one.”

Having said that, Adalbert felt somewhat disappointed: “But now it seems, perhaps Star Prison Tianyu is blocking our path to the other side of the void, the route to other stars, and also cutting off the connection between Domain of Void and other Domains of Void, thoroughly sealing off the Sea of Void.”

Ian also sighed.

The world sealed by Star Prison Tianyu, even the Domain of Void and Subspace are locked down, the Domain of Void indeed is just a bubble on the Sea of Void, but now this bubble is already all there is on the profound ocean.

“In any case.”

Adalbert was not as sentimental as Ian; after all, he couldn’t fully comprehend the terror of Star Prison Tianyu, hence he shifted the topic: “The prototype of the Dead River Armament, ‘Abyssal Blood Demon,’ is an extremely powerful demon…

It’s one of the most terrifying Magical Beasts in the Domain of Void, second only to the ‘Twilight True Demon’ in the depths of Yen Chieng and the ‘Silent True Demon’ at the bottom of Tranquil Sea.”

“It was born after the ‘Carlin’s Flower Incident,’ stemming from the survivors’ fear and hatred of Carlin’s Flower, hence it exhibits some characteristics of Carlin’s Flower…

It can silently corrupt a person’s soul and swallow it, turning it into its own incarnation, and this incarnation continues to spread contamination, transforming all the people of a small city into its puppets.”

“Killing the Blood Demon’s incarnation in the material world is pointless; it will resurrect time and again using the consumed souls, only by going to the deepest part of the Domain of Void to the Subspace Labyrinth ‘Dream of the Blood Sea’ can it be exterminated.”

“At that time, all of Yanjiang was still licking the wounds from the Apocalypse Level crisis; the Blood Demon born in a remote city was unstoppable for a time, allowing it to grow strong.”

“It was several hunters with ancient Inheritance who drank the blood of the Great Demon, they became part of the Blood Demon, and finally in the realm of dreams joined forces to kill it, and each committed suicide afterward.”

“The blades and shields of the hunters who killed the Great Demon are still enshrined and sealed in the Ancestral Grounds of Yanjiang, covered in never-drying cursed blood, which can easily erode the will of a Sublimator.”

“But the Blood Demon is indestructible.

As long as Human memories do not fade, without completely forgetting the incidents related to Carlin’s Flower and the Blood Demon, it will not perish.

All ‘demons’ are immortal.

They resurrect with fear, reverence, and hatred, growing continuously…

Fiery Flame Land wants to use this immortal nature, along with the power to erode others’ souls, to create the ‘Blood River Armament’ representing the immortal blood.”

“But ultimately it wasn’t successful.” Ian concluded, he touched his waistbelt: “Viscount Awak only resurrected a few times, his memory and soul became tainted by others’ souls, becoming irritable and easily angered, his character completely changed…

it could almost be said to be replaced by another person.”
