Chapter 1150 - World Chapter (1/2)
The longer they existed, the greater the size of the small planes, and the bigger they were, the harder it was to locate the special location.
This was due to the fact that the duration of their existence had nothing to do with their size.
Unless Lin Yun gave up looking for the Augment and directly returned to the Raging Flame Plane, he had to leave the small planes before their destruction.
But sometimes, a small plane he stepped in would already be on the brink of destruction and he would only have a couple seconds to look for the abnormality.
Lin Yun ended up leaving a small plane as it was destroyed four times.
Lin Yun’s mana was supported by the Natural Demiplane, so he wasn’t too worried about continuously travelling back and forth a few dozen times, but it was extremely taxing on his mind and it was at its limits, his soul was also exhausted.
As he travelled through a dozen small planes, Lin Yun had his Magic Array roused to work at full capacity whenever he came out of a Planar Path, all in order to find that crucial location as fast as possible.
After continuously travelling through planes, the light in Lin Yun’s eyes dimmed and his body emitted an exhausted aura. He had already forgotten how many planes he crossed. It had been just ten minutes, or maybe twenty minutes, but he could no longer remember how many Planar Paths he went through, he just kept going instinctively.
But Lin Yun suddenly froze as he saw the small plane before his eyes, because from the reaction of the Book of Death, the Augment was on this peculiar plane.
This was an entirely different small plane, the environment was like a dimly lit void. Lin Yun floated there and looked at the small mountains floating within this void. Flames transformed into rivers flowing within that void while steam transformed into dense fog that spread through certain areas, a river and glacier could even faintly be seen within the fog.
The gales transformed into hurricanes that roamed through the area. In the sky, rays of light and darkness twisted together, forming a kind of aurora continuously transforming.
He flew forward and landed on a small mountain, only to discover that it had a very low gravity. He then flew to another one, and was surprised to discover that gravity’s direction had been completely reversed, it was like his head and feet were upside down.
After landing on another small mountain, he looked around and noticed that the other small mountains were floating even faster.
After flying out of this hill, everything returned to normal. He landed on another small mountain and saw everything else being greatly slowed.
Lin Yun’s eyes faintly shone.
Time… The Law of Time was in chaos in this place, the flow of time was completely different there. The black and white radiance twisted into an aurora were like fluctuating night and day, but the laws were too chaotic, it was like a child had carelessly drawn a black and white graffiti in the void.
Following the sensation of the Book of Death, he flew to another small mountain, only to discover that the Augment was further and further away. The direction and sensation all passed through this chaotic space.
But Lin Yun grinned.
Everything was in chaos, time, space, earth, fire, water, wind, light, darkness… Everything was like that, but the formed plane wasn’t collapsing.
That chaos was actually forming a stable equilibrium, which shouldn’t exist. Such chaotic Laws and this disorderly plane simply shouldn’t exist, but it just appeared before him.
Lin Yun drank a potion to restore his spirit and when he felt better, he closed his eyes and gave up on perceiving his surroundings with mana, he only focused on the reaction of the Book of Death.
It was as if everything around him had turned dark and only a faint light was guiding him forward. Lin Yun slowly drifted as he followed that light.
Soon, Lin Yun reached a river of flames, but his body suddenly disappeared as if he was about to drift into the river of flames. A faint spatial fluctuation could be felt as Lin Yun’s body was already in the void ten kilometers away.
Lin Yun’s eyes were closed, he was drifting with no regards for his surroundings. He was like a space mage frequently using Teleportation as he kept travelling through the invisible chaotic passages within the space.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes. He stood on a hundred-meter-big small land whose surrounding space had already distorted. The distorted space looked like a circular cylinder that had been twisted into a circle. Lin Yun could see himself when looking into any direction.
A revolving transparent sphere was floating in the center of this small land.
Lin Yun walked to the side of the sphere and could see himself inside the sphere, inside that chaotic world, chaotic space. That sphere was the core of this spherical world.
Without the guidance of the Book of Death, or it could be said that even with the guidance of the Book of Death, no one would be able to distinguish the interferences and walk to this place.
Anything seen by one’s eyes, or felt by one’s magic would influence their judgement. No matter how reasonable and understanding one was, those little wisps of doubt would make them unable to walk to this spot.
This place’s space and time, as well as all elements and laws, were revolving like sealed corridors. Only by following that connection could one enter the depths.
Looking at the sphere before him, Lin Yun couldn’t help grinning.
“Sure enough, it was that thing. The most troublesome Augment to obtain among the Book of Death’s Augments, the World Chapter!”
In the future, Bane, the holder of the Book of Death, spent no less than three hundred years between discovering the World Chapter and getting a hold of it!
And the most important reason behind that was that the World Chapter’s projected plane, laws, elements, space and time were all incomparably chaotic. It was like circles piled on top of circles forming an incomparably huge ball of strings. It was perpetually chaotic and ever changing, the depths of this place simply couldn’t be entered.
In the end, Bane, that powerhouse surpassing the Heaven Rank, noticed something wrong with that space with a single glance.
But he couldn’t get closer. Even when he ultimately destroyed that projected plane, he still couldn’t do anything. That projected plane was a projection of the World Chapter, it would be reborn after being destroyed. It wouldn’t change even if it was destroyed ten thousand times.
Ultimately, Bane tested all methods before discovering that he only needed to simply close his eyes and seal his senses, as well as his instinctive mana perception, before following the Book of Death’s guidance.
After all, mana was something mages trusted the most, it was a lot more important than their eyes. All mages would instinctively believe their mana perception if there was a conflict between the feelings of their eyes and their mana.
But this habit was a huge obstruction in this place.
Lin Yun had seen the records in the decaying library, this was something that Bane had written down since it had troubled him for three centuries.
Lin Yun knew all about the process.
While moving from plane to plane, Lin Yun guessed that the Book of Death was reacting to the World Chapter.
Only the World Chapter could be connected to so many small planes, because those small planes continuously forming and being destroyed drew their power from the World Chapter.
Every major plane was connected to many smaller planes. Those smaller planes with imperfect laws were always being born and the majority of them would end up being destroyed.
But a place where so many small planes were constantly being formed and destroyed was abnormal by itself.
His guess turned into reality, it was indeed the World Chapter. Strictly speaking, that thing was different from the other Augments of the Book of Death.
Most of the other Augments needed to be attached to the Book of Death to display their power, but the World Chapter was different.
The World Chapter could take the shape of a world, and if a mage used the World Chapter to develop a World, the power of that world would be even more powerful than a Demiplane.
Because the world formed by the World Chapter had its own Law system. It was comparable to a Natural Demiplane. It had the potential to develop into a true world, not like the Demiplanes used by mages to establish their foundation.
In those years, Bane chose to spend three hundred years to find a way to obtain the World Chapter because of this. A complete independent world had much more meaning than transcending the Heaven realm.
The simplest reason was that if the world developed into a complete independent world before Noscent’s destruction, then the mage controlling it wouldn’t be implicated by Noscent’s destruction.
