Chapter 3130

Only a few breaths of time remained for the Red General.

Before this magnificent celestial scene, Zhao Dazui asked the Red General: "Do you have any backup plans?"

The Red General replied: "I have none."

"Going all in?" Zhao Dazui remembered that these two always had backup plans before every major operation, just in case.

"Not every battle offers a choice." The Red General said lightly: "If I fail, I don't need a backup plan."

Zhao Dazui smiled. No wonder he was chosen by the Great Vessel.

As the Profound Gate was about to close, the Red General raised the Responding Thunder Spear and lightly tapped the ground: "Accelerate, charge in!"

The Great Vessel suddenly accelerated.

The surrounding scenery—whether cloud layers, the Profound Gate, or light bands—blurred into indistinct shadows.

It plunged into the Profound Gate as if thrown into the open maw of a hungry ghost.

About three breaths later, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled within the cloud wall, and the vortex dissipated.

The passage opened by the Lingxu Holy Venerable on the barrier between the two worlds vanished.

The beings on the ground looked up at the night sky, seeing only thick clouds.

He Lingchuan also lifted his gaze to the sky, then sped toward the front lines.

After passing through the sky filled with lightning and thunder, drifting clouds and mist floated ahead.

Only when the chaos formed by the Great Vessel passed through the mist did they discover that beneath was indeed a vast expanse of black continent!

The Red General's breathing eased.

Is this the Land of Laws?

This scene before their eyes is not recorded in any written text.

Because since the heavens and earth were opened, almost no living beings have come here!

Vast, desolate, lonely.

Gazing downward, this continent bore no blade of grass, yet both of their eyes were instantly drawn to a giant tree.

To be honest, that was not a real tree. Although the Red General initially saw it as a snow-white tree covering its entire body, she immediately realized it was not a plant, but a massive crystal cluster spread across the ground like countless gullies and ravines.

So-called crystal clusters refer to the prolific growth of numerous crystal aggregates.

Only when the chaos flew lower and closer could they see clearly: this tree formed from countless crystal clusters lay flat on the ground. The main trunk was extraordinarily thick, and the further forward, the more branches it had; even in other parts of the continent, it would take root and branch out, growing new trunks and limbs.

This is an immeasurably vast crystal vein, yet across the entire continent it has grown into the form of a towering giant tree—calling it the World Tree is no exaggeration.

Only when they flew lower and closer did they realize that each crystal vein, no matter how fine, was actually a massive mountain range.

Even the tiniest branch, before it, made humans seem as insignificant as a fallen leaf in a forest.

All the crystals were crystal-clear and translucent. Although called veins, they were not entirely solidified.

Zhao Dazui, entering this place for the first time, looked left and right, eyes wide open, and pointed obliquely downward: "Look there—two crystal veins are fighting."

At this critical moment, he would not joke idly. The Red General followed his finger and indeed saw two branches—no, two crystal veins—growing continuously in the same direction, finally meeting head-on and colliding.

If these were ordinary veins, such a situation would simply be superimposed growth, after all, associated veins near the main vein are commonplace.

But this is not the case here!

Although they lack life, the Red General still felt that they were locked in a deadly struggle.

The two crystal veins collided like giant pythons, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

They held their ground for over a dozen breaths, until one vein won, gaining space to continue growing forward.

The losing branch, meanwhile, turned to dust and vanished from the ground.

Before the Red General could speak, she saw that the main trunk behind it was also withering and vanishing along with it.

Such a magnificent crystal vein, stretching at least tens of thousands of miles—gone just like that?

Zhao Dazui gasped, then suddenly said: "These crystal veins and clusters are the laws of the human world!"

He pointed to the thickest main trunk of the entire tree: "That is the fundamental basis of law. For example, sunlight nourishes all things, beings in the world are born and die, and so on. These laws form the foundation of the entire world."

"Upon this foundation, new laws are derived level upon level. The finer the branch, the farther the derived law is from the trunk, the more intricate its content, and the more fragile it becomes."

Branches are not as thick as the trunk, so of course they break more easily than the trunk.

The Red General mused: "Then could the crystal cluster branches we just saw fighting be laws clashing with each other?"

"That should be the case." The Red General nodded.

"At every moment, countless laws operate simultaneously in the human world—some support, some complement, some oppose, and some directly conflict. I think, the conflict between laws is just like human strife: the final resolution either comes from measuring superiority, or mutual compromise, or ultimately mutual fusion."

What they had just witnessed was exactly a life-or-death battle between two laws.

The victor gains the chance to exist and continue evolving;

The loser perishes then and there.

But the fact that this earth-vein tree below has developed into such a lush, branching form shows that many laws ultimately merged and fused, not all being conflict.

"So the world of laws is actually this brutal in its struggle?"

This crystal world is too vast—even the Red General, at this moment, feels she cannot take it all in.

Where should our destination be?

"Right, the Lingxu Holy Venerable arrived before us—where did he hide?"

This place is too vast, hard to search! The Lingxu Holy Venerable just needs to casually find a mountain peak to crouch on, and they could search until the earth grows old and the heavens decay!

But Zhao Dazui shook his head: "This place is not big."

Boundless and endless—still not big?

"This is the Boundless Realm," that is, a non-existent world." Zhao Dazui stared at the vast continent below, unblinking: "Here, space does not exist, so-called distance" naturally does not exist either."

"Does not exist?" The Red General seemed to realize: "Then what are we seeing?"

Seeing is believing—this black continent below, this magnificent, flourishing crystal vein giant tree—could it all be fake?

If He Lingchuan's pair of lively treasures were here, they would probably think that the scene below was an illusion created by the Holy Venerable Lingxu.

In fact, this has nothing to do with Holy Venerable Lingxu. The Great Shaman answered: "Since it has merged with heaven and earth, the law is everywhere, so how could there exist a dedicated world of law? That is why it is called Wuji."

What we see now is all specially manifested by the Great Cauldron in a way we can understand.

For living beings in the world to act, they rely either on sight or on sensation; they cannot comprehend the concept of "emptiness" out of thin air.
