Chapter 300 It turns out that our family lives in an egg
"Oh my God..." Chu Xuanyi looked up, completely stunned by the magnificent cosmic scene before him, "Is this... is this the real starry sky?"
He could even see distant galaxies slowly rotating and comets with long tails streaking across the sky. He felt that he was no longer a tiny person, but a giant overlooking the entire universe.
Just as they were shocked, the star map above their heads began to change rapidly and move closer.
Countless galaxies were left behind, and the final scene froze in a seemingly ordinary star field.
And in the center of this star field, something that was both extremely familiar and extremely unfamiliar to them appeared in their field of vision.
It was an extremely huge "sphere" emitting a light golden glow. Its surface was covered with a light film like an eggshell, and countless mysterious golden runes flowed on the light film, separating the inside and the outside into two completely different worlds.
Through the thin film of light, they could even see the azure ocean, emerald green continent, and slowly drifting white clouds.
"That's... our world." Xiao Yu's voice was a little dry.
He recognized that the outline of the continent was the Great Zhou Dynasty where they had lived for more than 20 years, as well as the surrounding four seas and eight wildernesses.
It turns out that the vast world that they have always been proud of is actually just a small "egg" wrapped in a film of light from a higher dimension.
"We... live in an egg." Chu Xuanyi muttered to himself, feeling as if his worldview was being rubbed against the ground repeatedly. "Then what is this golden eggshell?"
"World Barrier," Ah Jiu's voice rang out. She was now connected to the observatory, and countless knowledge and information that did not belong to her were pouring into her mind. "It is this barrier that protects the lives of our world from being eroded by the nothingness outside."
"Outside."
Hearing this word, Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi's hearts tightened. They followed Ajiu's guidance and looked outside the golden "egg".
Outside the "egg" is a dead, dark void without any material existence.
In that void, something that makes everyone shudder is lurking there.
It was a dark red world that could not be described in words, emitting endless malice, like a giant living tumor.
Its surface was full of pits and pits, flowing with a dark red light like pus. There was no trace of life, only pure chaos, madness and destruction.
What made them feel even more horrified was that the huge dark red "tumor" was extending thousands of dark red energy streams like tentacles, constantly, persistently and madly eroding and whipping the pale golden light film that enveloped their world.
Every impact would cause violent ripples in the golden light film, and the light would dim a little.
"The evil demon from outer space..." Xiao Yu slowly clenched his teeth. The voice he heard at the wedding, the wild words of slaughtering all living beings for betrothal gifts, what kind of terrifying existence was the source of that voice?
"What the hell is that?" Chu Xuanyi's voice was trembling. The fear that came from the instinct of life made his hands and feet cold. "It...it's eating our world."
At this moment, the star map of the observatory changed again, and the picture zoomed in, drawing their attention to a spot on the golden light film.
There was a place on the light film where the light was the dimmest, and there was even an extremely clear hole torn open.
Countless dark red tentacles were attacking the hole and trying to expand it.
And strands of dark red aura were seeping into their golden world bit by bit through the hole.
Chu Xuanyi was very familiar with the location of the hole.
"Netherworld Rift..."
He uttered these four words with difficulty, his face as pale as paper.
"So, this is the root of everything." Xiao Yu's voice was terrifyingly low. His deep eyes were fixed on the constantly eroding hole in the star map. Veins bulged on the back of his hand that gripped the hilt of his sword. "We always thought the Netherworld Rift was a natural disaster caused by the changes in heaven and earth. It turns out... it's actually a wound opened by humans in our world."
Chu Xuanyi's face was paler than paper, and he barely managed to stand by holding on to a bronze pillar next to him.
"A wound... haha, it's more than just a wound." He laughed miserably. "It's simply a blood-sucking tube inserted into the aorta of our world. That red ghost thing is draining the vitality of our world bit by bit through it."
He suddenly remembered a lot of things.
Thinking back over the years, the spiritual energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become increasingly thin, and it has become increasingly difficult for practitioners to break through.
Thinking of the land around the Netherworld Rift, where there is no grass or life, even the light has become distorted.
Thinking of those ghostly creatures that crawled out of the cracks, fearless of death, and only knew how to kill.
He used to think that it was simply too much Yin energy, but now it seems that it is not Yin energy at all, but "pollution" from another higher dimensional world, which is full of malice towards their world.
"We're like chickens and ducks locked in a cage. The butcher outside has already thrust his knife in, yet we're still fighting tooth and nail for a bite of food and an inch of land." Chu Xuanyi's voice was filled with bitterness and self-mockery. "It's ridiculous, so ridiculous..."
"It's pointless to talk about this now." Xiao Yu interrupted his self-pity. "Ajiu, can you see more details? For example, is there any way to repair this wound?"
If even the world barriers can be broken, then no matter how strong their individual strength is, they are just slightly stronger ants, and they will eventually die in the face of a true catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Jiu closed her eyes, the purple mark between her eyebrows glowing, and she was trying her best to analyze the massive amount of information coming from the center of the observatory.
After a moment, she slowly shook her head and said, "It can't be repaired."
"At least not with our current power. The World Barrier is formed by the original laws of the entire world. The laws in the Netherworld Rift have been completely polluted and assimilated by the power of the evil demons from outer space. Unless we can completely eliminate those polluted laws, any repair method will be futile."
This answer made Chu Xuanyi, who had just ignited a glimmer of hope, feel like he was falling into an icy cave again.
"Eliminating the pollution laws," he said with a wry smile. "That's easy to say, but it's the power of another world, completely incompatible with the laws of our world. How can we eliminate it? Your Highness, I think we should just go to bed and wait for that big red tumor to crack our eggshell. It would be a neat end for us all."
"Shut up," Xiao Yu shouted coldly, "Don't say such discouraging words before we reach the final step."
