Chapter 1 Rift Space

There is no sky or earth, there is nothing in all directions, only a deep darkness.

No, that's not darkness, darkness just has no light, and here, there is no concept of darkness, only a real nothingness left. Vision has lost its meaning here, and the only thing worthy of gratitude is that the people around you are still close to you, shoulder to shoulder with you, facing an unknown world.

There is no sound, I don’t know whether it is because there is no medium, the sound has lost the carrier of transmission, or because the concept of sound has been completely erased by this disordered world. All I hear in my ears are the sound of heartbeat and blood flowing, which are monotonous, boring, and unchanging, and it sounds more like torture.

There was no smell, no touch, there was nothing here, Shuer and Moria were hovering in the air in a nearly floating form, without any support points, and looked particularly weird.

There is no doubt that this is the big rift, the most mysterious and terrifying corner of the twisted void, and the end of thousands of worlds.

There was no ground under his feet and it seemed to be floating, but the two of them kept walking, as if they could really move forward. Of course, there was no reference in the empty space, and there was no distance. I am afraid that only they themselves knew whether these actions could allow them to move forward.

In fact, they know that they are indeed moving forward, because as warriors, their way of sensing the world is not only in addition to the five senses, but also in energy perception. When all the other five senses are cut off, the perception of energy becomes particularly obvious. They clearly feel that a channel paved by the continuous power of faith extends far under their feet, and the two step on the avenue of faith and move forward all the way.

Since entering the big rift, it took a lot of time for the two of them to learn how to move forward in this space. The movement of the rift is not a problem for the two gods, but it is a trouble for the two mortals, Shur and Moria, and an unexpected trouble. Who would have thought that the instinctive "walking" action that has become instinctive since I can remember has become so embarrassing. This is not even as good as the water here, at least there is still material to borrow force in the water, which can be advanced by swimming, but there is no air here, and there is no way to borrow force, but for some reason it can hover in the air.

Theoretically, after all, the two of them were surrounded by the power of gods. If they were willing, they could entrust the task of advancing to the gods to complete. However, Shur insisted on learning the way to act in the crack space. In his words, he could not even do basic things like "walking". What else should he talk about exploring the inside of the crack? If the gods were allowed to do everything, the two of them would completely lose the meaning of existence, even if they were replaced by two dogs.

So, the two spent a lot of time learning to walk again. This was not a simple matter. After all, it was difficult for people who had never experienced it to understand what it means to move forward with consciousness.

Yes, Anika conveyed his thoughts through Moria. If you want to act here, it is not the physical movements and mechanics principles, but consciousness. When your consciousness is convinced that you are moving, you have moved. If your consciousness denies the perception that "you are moving", then no matter how hard you struggle, you cannot move at all.

This is not a simple self-deception, but a complete change of one's own cognition, putting aside common sense and inherent prejudice, and making sure that the will can indeed move oneself. For most people, this is almost impossible to complete. After all, the solidified thinking accumulated over decades is not so easy to change. Fortunately, Sul is a priest, and Moria is the descendant of the gods. Both of them have been in contact with the gods for a long time and are more familiar with the power of will. Therefore, after countless failures, Moria learned to move the cracks first, and soon after, Sul was able to move freely.

When the faith channel that acts as a coordinate and the first displacement between the two, the two looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Perhaps it seemed like it was just a simple thing to learn to walk again, but moving to the inside of the crack space means that Pavatiga's intelligent creature took the first step to conquer the big crack.

But it is just the first step, because what follows is a long and boring journey.

In an unchanging environment, the same behavior is constantly repeated. Although the five senses are not cut off, they are compressed to a very small range, and there is no new meaning wherever they pass. I don’t know how large the scope of exploration of Lord Anika’s will is. There may be some fresh changes, but the two of them have only a little bit of exploration, and they have nothing but nothing except nothingness.

Such an environment can almost be described as horror. Ordinary people may not be able to hold on for a few minutes. Not to mention anything else, it is just this silence, just the sound of their own blood flowing is enough to drive 90% of people crazy. In other words, Shuer and Moria are determined enough to keep a quiet deep in their hearts. In addition, their existence is a kind of mutual motivation, so they are not in a state of madness. But even so, as they gradually deepen, the two become more and more numb. Although they are still holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, they have lost the interest in communicating with their eyes and thoughts, and have focused all their energy on moving, hoping to encounter unexpected changes sooner.

It is not about reaching the destination or finding the mission target. The pursuit of the two has been reduced to the point where they can be satisfied as long as there are any changes. It can be seen how much pressure the environment in the crack brings to the two. After all, the time they stayed in the crack was so long that they could not judge.

Yes, they had no idea how long they had spent here. With the supplement of divine power, they did not need to breathe or eat. Although they were still hungry, it was just a natural reaction to the stomach. The body would not lack energy and be disturbed. Eating was meaningless except wasting time and causing some trouble. Therefore, the two of them had not eaten, and even judging time based on the number of hunger times could not be achieved.

In this case, people often have an illusion of time. Sometimes it only took a moment, but it felt like decades had passed, but sometimes it was just the opposite, which made people unable to judge. Although the timer brought by Pavadiga was also protected by the power of the gods, it had lost its effect for some reason. The pointer of the timer was constantly swinging back and forth, but he refused to stop and indicate the time. Of course, after seeing the strange swing, even if it stopped to indicate it, Shuer could not believe it. Therefore, the two completely lost the ability to judge time and could only act based on their feelings.

Anika told the two that time has not passed long, and it has only been ten days since they entered. Well, it seems that it is not worth mentioning at all. However... for the gods who can stay awake for tens of millions of years, continuous action for ten days is indeed nothing, but for ordinary mortals, it is unimaginable that even if the support of divine power prevents the body from being damaged, the mental loss cannot be restored by divine power. No wonder the two felt that the more they advance, the less energy they were. The consumption of more than ten days was indeed beyond the limit of mortals.

"So, let me tell you two news and cheer you up."

Anika's voice suddenly sounded beside the two. This was the first time since entering the crack space, except for the sound source from the body, that had been received from the outside world. The sudden sound made the two feel a thunder sound in their ears, and even their eardrums were slight stinging under the stimulation of the sound, as if they could tear them apart at any time.

The two could not understand how Anika made the two hear the sound. Perhaps it was because they affected the surrounding rules in a small range, or maybe they used some special method, but this was not important. What was important was that this voice from the gods was a fresh change that the two were pursuing. Lord Anika didn't know that she didn't need to announce any news at all. As long as she often scared people like this, it would be enough to make the two of them feel energetic.

"Why, have you found yourself?" Shuer opened his mouth and wanted to make a few jokes, but found that he still couldn't speak out. However, Anika could obviously understand what Shuer wanted to express. Well, it can be seen from the volume she intended to increase in Shuer's ear.

"No, no clue was found." Anika did not show any disappointment and said the futility of the search work without hesitation. But the next moment, the news she said made Shuer's eyes lit up, and even the corners of his mouth were raised. "However, I just discovered an opening leading to other worlds. Although the range of the cracks has expanded to an uncontrollable level, it seems that it has not affected the civilization within the world, at least not all. From the other side, Luna and I can still sense the breath of the existence of intelligent creatures."

"This is really..." Shur had no idea how to express his surprise and asked with his consciousness, "Can you judge the situation inside? Is there a god there?"

"The rules inside are more inclined toward Pavatiga, suitable for the development of magical civilization. There is indeed the power of faith, but there has not been a god yet. From this point of view, the history of civilization should not be long." Anika said leisurely, "Judged based on the current situation, under the threat of the big rift, a large number of believers can be gathered with just a little influence. I don't know how many intelligent creatures there are, and I hope the number will not be too small. Luna is still observing the specific situation, but remember your promise, one-third."

"Ha, of course, one third." Shuer squinted his eyes and smiled. It was a real surprise. After the previous secret talks, Shuer believed that Luna knew what to do, so he did not ask, but just asked with a smile, "Where is the second news?"

"Congratulations, Luna said, you have already walked halfway through the faith channel. Oh, it's worth being excited."
