Chapter 2317: The True Face of the Infinite Continent

The content recorded in the Phantom Crystal Map is quite rich; this crystal stone is equivalent to a device that stores memory information, and only needs to be communicated with willpower to read the information inside, and can also add, delete, and modify it.

When Xiao Feng obtained the information recorded inside, he was somewhat surprised.

Because the Infinite Continent is really too big!

Previously, the map he pieced together with the Ultimate Darkness Vanguard and other squads was still too crude compared to this.

Only upon seeing the complete map did he realize that this world is far more complicated than he had imagined.

The Infinite Continent was once a place of incessant war, and the combatants on both sides were neither ordinary beings nor regular armies.

But were Overlords!

Each "soldier" possessed Overlord-level combat power, the lowest being peak Planet-level, most being Star-level and Eternal-level, and even Dao Ancestors would send avatars to fight!

How could a world that had endured such a terrifying war possibly remain intact?

Not to mention the one‑quarter of area that vanished into thin air due to Dimensional Crush; just the visible gaps of war scars on the land number as many as 1,343!

These 1,343 gaps in the land: the smaller ones are tens of millions of kilometers.

The larger ones typically start at hundreds of billions of kilometers!

Especially the largest of them, which is like a cleft cut by a heavenly god, almost splitting the Infinite Continent in two, stretching one light‑year long, and its abyss can hold countless stars.

As shown by the Phantom Crystal Map, the Infinite Continent is covered in scars, everywhere are bottomless abysses left after the war.

An "abyss" is a terrain feature relative to flat ground; if large enough, it can also be regarded as a plain located in a low‑lying area

plain.

The Infinite Continent is very thick; drilling down 100 billion kilometers underground won't pierce it, and the whole world leans against the Main Universe's barrier like a parasitic polyp, thick and fat.

But the places beneath the abyss are mostly unsuitable for survival.

At the edges of these war scars, the vertical drop can reach tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of kilometers in height, vastly different from the surface's "horizontal height".

Therefore, even if the bottom is flat and looks no different from ordinary ground, because the height difference is too great, the received surface light energy is too little and heat insufficient, so basically no organism can survive down there.

After viewing the complete map, Xiao Feng realized that his and the Ultimate Darkness Vanguard's earlier estimates were completely wrong; in fact, the various Holy Lands of the Infinite Continent are not as large as they had imagined.

Because after excluding the 1,343 war‑destroyed uninhabitable areas and the one‑quarter that vanished, the remaining areas actually amount to only about 55% of the Infinite Continent's total area.

Moreover, a large area around the war abysses retains special force fields left by powerful beings, where ordinary life cannot survive, so a further large portion must be subtracted.

Truly habitable regions actually amount to less than half of the total area.

Then…

After further subtracting wastelands, deserts, great lakes, oceans and the like, the area that finally belongs to the prosperous habitable zone may be less than 1% of the total.

Those war remnants and blank zones testify to the devastation the Infinite Continent has endured.

Even Xiao Feng, standing on the opposing side, cannot help but feel moved, feeling sorrow for the original inhabitants of the Infinite Continent from the wartime era

and sadness.

Actually, the beings themselves are innocent.

The Infinite Continent parasitizes the Main Universe, relying on devouring the Main Universe's growth energy; this is the Infinite Continent's own fault.

The beings also do not wish to be born carrying sin.

But, having been born here and nourished by the Infinite Continent's theft of the Main Universe's energy, they are like a child raised by a demon, born with demonic aura, and can never be accepted by the Main Universe no matter what.

Xiao Feng felt pity and had some sympathy for the beings of this world.

However, it was only sympathy.

He knows he comes from the Main Universe and is incompatible with the beings of this realm; even if he harbors compassion, these beings will not thank him and would rather kill him.

This relationship is irreconcilable, a destiny, an enmity innate from birth, and only death can end it.

Xiao Feng faithfully replicated the map from the Phantom Crystal Stone into the game world.

In the homeland of the Little Celestial Court, a huge map several meters across is laid out on the ground, marked with tens of thousands of tiny locations, requiring Divine Sense will to read the specific information.

The map contains a huge amount of information, not only place names and regional affiliations, but also more detailed descriptions.

For example, Slant Moon City, although merely an unimportant small town, the map notes a "Grade‑3 small city, about 4 million population, ordinary living conditions, harsh cultivation environment".

And in the region over 100 million li away where Xiao Feng previously fought the Demon Overlord Great Lord and the Illuminating Heaven Great Lord, the cities there are marked as "Grade‑2 medium city, about 10 million population, superior living conditions, moderate cultivation environment, affiliated city of the Primordial Mine Cavern, producing yellow

, green, and blue Cosmic Spirit Stones, belonging to the Illuminating Heaven Great Lord."

Of course, there are even better places.

The area nearest to Xiao Feng's current position is a large fertile zone about 30 million li away.

That region spans over 8 million kilometers in radius, entirely lush green, an environment of excellent quality; in terms of size, it can compare to hundreds of Divine Kingdoms in the game world.

Even the total land area of the Nine Provinces World cannot match it.

That region is called the Great Sky Scar Nation, the center of the Sky Scar Great Lord's territory, and altogether hosts over a thousand cities with superior living conditions and cultivation environments of medium or higher.

Moreover, at its very center stands a conspicuously marked city: Sky Scar Holy City, with about 400 million population, perfect living conditions, perfect cultivation environment, rich underground spirit veins, the central domain of the Sky Scar Great Lord, ranked 16th in environmental quality on the Infinite Continent.

Although it is only map information and not a personal visit, Xiao Feng can infer that this region is probably not much inferior to the prosperous worlds of the Main Universe.

It is like a palm‑sized patch of green grass on the Wasteland, a rare good spot in the harsh environment of the Infinite Continent, and being comparable to the outside world is no surprise.

"That Sky Scar Holy City… there must be a lot of Cosmic Spirit Stones, right?" Xiao Feng looked at the map and gave a faint smile.

Overlords consume Cosmic Spirit Stones at a breakneck pace in cultivation and combat; although the Demon Overlord Great Lord left him several thousand top‑quality purple Spirit Stones, they are not enough for long‑term use.

The Sky Scar Great Lord is merely a Planet‑level Overlord; he is not without a chance of victory.

If he could defeat it and seize the resources of Sky Scar Holy City, then at least

he would not need to worry about resources for a century.

However, judging from the previous encounter with the Illuminating Heaven Great Lord's Primordial Mine Cavern, these Overlords watch each other's backs; killing them is also tough, so only a swift, decisive, lightning‑fast kill can ensure safety.

Furthermore…… there might be a Calamity Dharma Holy Venerable eyeing them covetously, so we must be cautious, cautious, and cautious again!
