Chapter 1566: Closed Loop

In the Void Land, Lin Yan appeared once again.

Lin Yan had explored the Void Land more than once, wondering what lay at its depths, whether other worlds existed, and so on.

This time, Lin Yan stayed longer in the Void Land.

He explored the Void Land for a full ten million years.

"Closed-loop structure."

After ten million years, finally, Lin Yan ended his exploration and murmured to himself.

Yes, the Void Land, within Lin Yan's exploration, was entirely a closed-loop structure.

Like a shell, it tightly wrapped around the world where the Heavenly Realm resided.

As for what lay beyond this shell, Lin Yan did not know.

The shape of the world could not be simply understood as an egg.

The Void Land could not be simply understood as the shell outside this egg; likening it to a shell was merely for easier comprehension.

Moreover, after ten million years of exploration, Lin Yan discovered that while the Void Land was described as infinite, it truly was infinite—but not in the literal sense.

Simply put, no matter where you entered the Void Land from within this world and kept advancing in one direction, you would never reach a new place.

If you walked on forever, you would never reach an end, no matter which direction you chose—even with Lin Yan's mastery over Void Laws, it seemed endless.

But…

Lin Yan had realized that this infinity was like a Möbius strip: it appeared endless, yet in truth, you were always circling within the same region.

In other words, the Void Land outside the world was a profoundly intricate closed-loop structure.

Moreover, its area was immensely vast.

To Lin Yan, it felt even larger than the entire world.

The Void Land in the Heavenly Realm had actually entered when the Shadow had pierced the barrier during its great battle with humans.

This Möbius-strip-like structure formed by the Void Land could not be forcibly broken or shattered, even by Lin Yan's immense power.

"Is this a restraint, or a protection for the world?"

Lin Yan could not help but wonder.

Lin Yan's imagination was not small, and this imagination was supported by abundant details.

It was not idle fancy or baseless speculation.

Of course, if one thought deeper, it would lead to questions such as: how was this world born, and what lay beyond the Void Land?

Yet, at Lin Yan's level, after living such an immense span of time, it would be false to say he had never pondered these questions.

In fact, after living for hundreds of millions of years, though life in this world still filled Lin Yan with boundless joy, he indeed wondered what lay beyond the world, whether other worlds existed.

According to Lin Yan's understanding, other worlds should exist—after all, the world he had come from was one itself…

Yet since he could not exit the Void Land for now, he lost interest in further exploration.

He returned once more to the Heavenly Realm and resumed his "quiet life" with his women.

As time passed, some emotions grew even deeper.

His women were gods, not humans; even after over a hundred million years, they still maintained their peak states, with no sign of decline in mind or body.

As long as this world did not decay, they would never weaken—in fact, they grew ever stronger.

How long a world could exist depended on the people within it; a world's lifespan was not fixed.

It was not true that after billions or hundreds of billions of years, its primordial essence would be exhausted—that was nonsense.

Before Lin Yan's arrival, the concept of cosmic cycles existed, but this world had no such cycles.

Death was final.

This was the world Lin Yan controlled.
