"Look below." The massive scorpion-tailed lion’s voice resonated like thunder: "From the time I became aware of my surroundings, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a scene. Are we really still in reality?"

"If not in reality, then where else could we be?" In this bizarre space, the winged sisters didn’t dare to fly arbitrarily. They could only stand on the back of the scorpion-tailed lion and say: "But genuinely speaking, I am a little scared." "I am also a little scared." "There’s no other way, there are just too many." "This number is exaggeratedly too many. It won’t be possible to proceed without expanding the Inherent Psychic Domain."

In the space where you can only move forward by using consciousness, everyone did not know the direction they were heading. They only aimed at a distant starlight and proceeded unceasingly. Fortunately, it was not too distant. After a period of effort from the scorpion-tailed lion Dillie, they finally saw that the starlight was getting bigger and eventually expanded into a vast flatland in everyone’s view. At the end of the land was a large black hole, just like what they had seen outside. That should be the corresponding teleportation gate visible from the outside. Floating above the teleportation gate and looking towards the distance, the ground was a blanket of white, continuing as far as the horizon, just like the scene after a blizzard. But everyone had figured it out - it wasn’t snow, those were tightly packed skeletons, deliberately moving mechanically in the same direction.

Everyone was originally viewing from high above, but even so, they couldn’t see the end of the torrent of skeletons, regardless of the direction they looked, all they could see were numbingly marching skeletons.

"@#￥%@#￥", atop the scorpion-tailed lion, begBearman Carl, who seldom speaks out, suddenly uttered a long string of Beastman dialect.

"Carl said that he once experienced the terrifying Wolf Tide on the grasslands." Kela timely translated: "In the vast grasslands, hundreds of thousands of giant wolves surged like a tide. That is the nightmares he often revisits in the night. But compared to what’s in front of us, the Wolf Tide completely looks like a child’s game."

"I want to go back." The thin voice is a characteristic of the goblin, Christo danced around and claimed: "To fight with the creatures below, sooner or later, we’ll be worn to death."

"Curlee you’re foolish." "It’s not that you have to kill all of them." "As long as we find our target, that damaged Divine Soul would suffice." And we can sit on Dillie and fly in mid-air, they won’t be able to touch us." "Coward, always whining about going back." "Keep whining about going back, and we’ll throw you down to feed the Undead."

"Alright, Maya Tiya, stop bullying Christo." Like a gentle older sister, Nellie crouched down and held the winged girls in her arms, stroked their wings to calm them for a while before saying: "At this height, it would be impossible to find the God Soul Fragment, right? Should we decrease our altitude a bit?"

"It’s better not to lower the altitude rashly." Kyle gazed seriously at the space below and said: "Did you all notice it? Until now, we’re unable to move forward using consciousness. Which is to say, this is a boundary. When stepping across this line, anything could happen, who knows? So it’s better to be cautious. Let’s experiment first."

"That’s easy. Throw Curlee down to try." "Agree, if he’s alright, we can follow him down."

"Hey, but what if something happens?" Christo’s skin grew even greener as he roared: "You two wicked children, do you want to start arguing again?"

"If something happens, we will mourn for you." "We will definitely mourn for three full minutes."

"Maya Tiya." Kyle adopted a stern face and said seriously: "I know you’re joking, but it’s better not to make such jokes in the future. The team absolutely forbids these kinds of voices, whether they’re jokes or not."

"Yes." Kyle’s earnest expression caused the playful winged girls to despondently lower their heads and apologetically say to Christo: "Little Curlee, we’re sorry, it was our fault."

"Kyle, you’re too serious." Elf Queen Flare protected the two girls behind her: "Though you’re right, after all, they’re still children. You don’t have to be so serious with them, you see Christo doesn’t mind."

"Being earnest is a requisite quality on the path to perfection." Kyle said with a stern face: "And this is also for their own good. That’s enough. Since they have apologized, let’s quickly start the experiment."

The method for the experiment was actually pretty simple. Kela got a regular feathered arrow from Flare and threw it vertically downwards. The arrow fell rapidly, and then... it completely crumbled to dust. The crumbling took place in just a second. During the fall, the arrow suddenly halted in mid-air, then as if it was being torn apart by numerous forces from different angles, it disappeared instantly.

"Is it a Chaotic Space?" The Guardian Dragon Mina who had been silent the whole time, watching from the side, suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Is this place already considered part of the Divine Realm?"

Everyone was startled by Mina’s abrupt reaction and just stared blankly at her. Mina then came to her senses and explained, "Chaotic space usually appears on the outermost edge of a divine realm, it is a thick space layer. Within this layer, every direction is confused and random. When you enter this layer, you try to move forward forcefully, but every part of your body is moving in different directions. To be more specific, for instance, your arm moves forward, your body to the left, your leg to the right, your foot backward, and your head upwards. Then you are torn apart by your own force. Of course, this is a simplistic summary, the actual situation isn’t so simple. Each and every muscle and drop of blood in your body will be torn into pieces, just like the arrow just now."

"Torn apart by our own force?" Mina’s vague explanation made it hard for Kyle to imagine, but he still roughly understood her meaning, "So, you mean that in that space, we can’t move at all?"

"No, as soon as you enter that space, unless your body is robust enough, certain death awaits. Just think about it, your heart needs to beat, your breathing causes your chest to rise and fall, your blood autonomously flows, all these will be affected. So, unless there’s divine protection, it’s absolutely impossible to navigate such a space."

"What can we do, then?" Mage Flare was full of curiosity about this unique space he had never encountered before. If they had not been on an important mission, he would have probably spent a long time studying this peculiar phenomenon. But they had an important task at hand, so he could only suppress his inherent curiosity as a mage and ask, "Is there any way to break through? Surely, our mission can’t just end because of this bizarre defensive space. I want to see the undead from the first and second epochs."

"We won’t stop here." Kyle, stroking his chin pensively, said, "The Undead broke into Yarra because both spaces had a breach. Lady Mina, if this Chaotic Space has a breach, where do you think it would be?"

"I’m not sure if there is actually a breach." Mina hesitated before replying, "But if there is, it will certainly be above the dark vortex gate. That is the most unstable point in the space."

"Dillie, let’s go, over the top of the vortex." Kyle patted the giant scorpion-tailed lion, "Let’s go there for an experiment."

"Wait a minute." Nellie suddenly grabbed Kyle’s wrist, "You guys, look over there, I think I see man-made architecture."

"Man-made?" Exclaimed Kyle, in this place only associated with death, finding man-made structures was practically impossible. Following Nellie’s gaze, far away, there was indeed an indistinct shadow of a building that seemed like a huge temple.

"There’s no need to be so surprised." Mina explained, "This is not difficult to understand, don’t forget this continent was originally separated from Yarra, it’s normal for existing structures in certain places to have been preserved."

"Indeed." Kyle nodded, "But this structure is the only one as far as the eye can see, it’s probably a good clue. We don’t have any leads in our search for the broken divine souls, so let’s consider the building that looks like a temple as our first target."

"Hey, Kyle, we’re here." The scorpion-tailed lion’s voice suddenly rang out, "What test do you want to conduct?"

Kyle poked his head out from the side of the scorpion-tailed lion. Below was the massive black spherical vortex. After pondering for a while, he took out a few camping tools from his backpack, tied them with a rope and slowly let them descend, until they dropped below the place where the feather arrows shattered. Satisfied, he nodded, "I guessed right, there is indeed a clear hole here, things drop without getting destroyed."

"Since this place is safe," Dillie said, "I am going to descend."

"Wait, maintain this altitude, loop around a few times, I want to test the range of the hole," Kyle, waving the rope in his hand, said, "We don’t want half your body getting through safely in the end."

As instructed by Kyle, Dillie circled a few times. Fortunately, the situation that Kyle was worried about did not occur, and it was eventually determined that the diameter of the hole was more than fifty meters, large enough for all of them to safely enter. Dillie flapped his wings slowly, gradually lowering the altitude. Every time he descended a few meters, Kyle would throw some debris to a parallel position in the distance to determine whether they had passed through the chaotic space. However, the thickness of that space was unexpectedly extensive. Only when they were less than fifty meters from the ground could they completely avoid the threat of the chaotic space.

"We finally made it in." The descent had everyone on edge, after all, even a mighty demigod could die without a trace while dealing with such a weird space. Now that they had avoided this invisible threat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Kyle pointed in the distance and said, "Let’s fly towards the temple, Dillie."

"Huh." Much to everyone’s surprise, just as they broke through the chaotic space and entered the world teeming with death, all the undead below seemed to sense the breath of the living on them and looked up and roared in unison. Amidst the wave of undead, a large number of skeleton archers drew their bows without hesitation, aiming at the group in the air. The arrows fell like rain.

"Dillie, continue flying towards the temple," Kyle shouted, "Everyone else, help clear out the arrow rain." (Pro tip: cozy activities are coming, cool cell phones await you!
