Chapter 243: Calamity Gathering Momentum, Online Heavy Blows (Seeking Monthly Votes)

~30 min read 5,890 words

Emperor Tomb Village, Library.

A Lan held a thick book and sat down in the reading area.

After opening the first page, the Brain Overclocking Soul embedded in the first slot of his Star Vein Slot suddenly activated.

His body trembled slightly; he felt as if an electric current surged from his spine straight to his brain.

In an instant, a carnival feast erupted within his skull.

The blood vessels at his temples throbbed rhythmically like war drums being beaten.

The entire world became utterly different.

First, his vision sharpened dramatically; the text on the pages seemed to come alive, leaping out of the book and flowing into his mind as dancing characters.

During this process, his senses were infinitely amplified.

The rustling sound of other players turning pages in the library, the echo of distant footsteps in the vast hall, even the trajectory of dust motes drifting in the air—all became clearly distinguishable.

His thinking speed was elevated to an inconceivable level.

Originally obscure and difficult text automatically linked with information in his memory bank.

Every character, every paragraph could find a corresponding knowledge system in his memory bank for verification.

Since the Monster World lacked the materials used by the Eclipse Clan in reality, the spatial theory knowledge system was also completely different.

Therefore, much of the content required learning and understanding from scratch; this was why he had dismantled the Power Axe and allocated all his levels to Brain Overclocking.

War in the real world could break out at any moment; he had to seize the time and construct a spatial teleportation array as soon as possible.

Fully immersed in the book's content, A Lan discovered his thinking speed had been raised to a height unattainable in reality.

Concepts that were once difficult to understand now required only a single glance to materialize in his mind as vivid scenes.

His memory bank was like a dictionary.

Every passage read would automatically combine, analyze, and summarize in his mind.

During this time, his memory capacity was also strengthened to the extreme; the text he read struck his mind like brands.

It was as if his brain had become a library with infinite capacity.

His body also entered a wondrous state during this period.

His breathing became slow and deep, his heartbeat steady and powerful, as if completely disconnected from the rhythm of the outside world.

His fingers unconsciously followed his gaze, sliding across the pages; his fingertips seemed to feel the weight of the words.

In this state, time became blurred.

In merely a few seconds, A Lan had already turned over more than ten pages.

The content of each page was rapidly absorbed by him and converted into his own knowledge reserve.

During this time, new ideas continuously surged forth in his mind.

A Lan paused at this point, then summoned the library's search bar and began looking for new books.

Among the dozen or so pages he had just flipped through, some knowledge did not match what was in his memory and was difficult to understand.

Therefore, before continuing to read further, he needed to comprehend this portion of the content.

After inputting relevant information, corresponding books automatically flew out from within the library, hovering before A Lan's desk.

Then came the third book, the fourth book, and so on.

A Lan's gaze switched rapidly among the six books.

The Brain Overclocking state made his thinking like a precise machine, efficiently processing every piece of information.

After entering his brain, this knowledge gradually pieced together into a complete framework of the knowledge system, becoming clear and three-dimensional.

Much of the content was not even covered by the Eclipse Clan's existing knowledge system.

The spatial system knowledge within the books was interpreted in greater detail.

During his studies, A Lan learned that the core of a spatial teleportation array lies in the channel.

Worlds do not connect directly with one another; to travel to another world, one must first tear through the world barrier, then cross the void to reach other worlds.

Each world within the Void World is like a glowing bubble.

Before piercing the bubble, it is difficult to see clearly what lies inside.

The function of a spatial teleportation array is to establish a shortcut route connecting two worlds, allowing rapid arrival at another world.

Such teleportation arrays can be one-way arrays or stable channels that remain continuously open.

There are many methods to construct a spatial teleportation array.

The most effective method is to master spatial laws, using consciousness to drive rules and directly initiate a spatial leap.

A secondary method involves using spatial-type materials to construct a teleportation array.

For example, the popular spiritual ore "Void Origin Stone" from the Winter Snow Plains region is one such special material.

Other usable materials include Void Stone, Rift Rock, Void Anchor Stone, Fissure Crystal, and so on.

The characteristic of spatial-type materials is their ability to withstand the pressure of the void environment, maintaining the continuous and stable operation of the spatial tunnel.

Ordinary materials are easily decomposed by pressure within the void; this is also why spatial-type materials are generally several times more expensive than normal spiritual materials.

As he flipped through the knowledge, A Lan became intoxicated in it.

He even felt a sense of joy in his heart, as if his knowledge progress bar was steadily increasing.

He continued flipping downward.

A tertiary method for constructing a spatial teleportation array involves using energy to tear through the world barrier, creating a purely energetic spatial channel.

This is the choice made by the vast majority of racial factions.

For instance, the early Heavenly Fire Dharma King used this method to bring his clansmen to descend upon the Monster World.

Not only does the process consume energy violently, but the energy tunnel is also extremely unstable.

Stable energy tunnels are somewhat better; at least they can maintain the spatial tunnel in an open state for a long duration.

However, a one-way teleportation array can be described as a life-risking transmission.

Once the transmission activates, people fly forward within the tunnel while the tail end of the tunnel gradually decomposes and dissipates in the void.

When the transmission ends, the tunnel closes along with it.

During this process, there is also the risk of being swept away by spatial backflows.

If an energy tunnel ruptures within the Void World, the resulting fissure will generate terrifying distortions, sucking away living beings near the rupture point.

They will become completely lost in the Void World, but in all likelihood will be shredded by the spatial backflow.

Seeing this, A Lan's memory automatically wove a scene.

One could compare an energy-constructed spatial tunnel to a submarine navigating ten thousand meters beneath the sea; if the submarine ruptures, the living beings inside must endure terrifying high pressure.

Their bodies would instantly explode within the spatial backflow.

Unless one's physical body is strong enough to withstand void pressure, crossing the void and walking freely.

Upon reaching such a realm, the flesh alone would be sufficient to tear through space, using blood and qi to construct spatial tunnels for traveling between different worlds.

After preliminarily mastering the spatial theory knowledge system, A Lan summoned his friends list and began contacting his clansmen.

Spatial system knowledge is complex and miscellaneous; relying solely on himself, it would be difficult to master it within a short time.

He decided to divide this knowledge into multiple fields, assigning different clansmen to study them, and then complete the construction of the spatial teleportation array together.

At that time, they would notify the players of this location.

Allowing players to go to the minor world to wreak havoc on the factions attempting to invade Earth.

At the current stage, the various races of Earth have already grasped partial information about the unknown invading factions; when going to this minor world, they will inevitably discover that the technological system mastered by the minor world's population closely resembles that of the alien races currently invading Earth.

But this issue is easy to explain.

In the information publicly disclosed by the Eclipse Clan, the original intention behind creating the Monster World was military training.

Now they Iron Face a crisis of alien invasion.

Then, creating a simulated opponent within the Monster World to conduct various experimental tests is reasonable and logical; it does not even require explanation, as the management layers of all races will think along these lines anyway.

This issue had already been explained half a year ago, with sufficient groundwork laid.

He had only one task: construct the spatial teleportation array as quickly as possible.

Before long, twelve members of the Eclipse Clan arrived at the library.

After inquiring, A Lan learned that the twelve Eclipse Clan members currently possessed a total of 1.27 million Sacrificial Power among them.

This portion of Sacrificial Power all came from the Dark Lands.

They allowed players who had purchased the Dark Lands to pay Sacrificial Power for refunds at a rate of 1.5 times the real-world amount.

This made many players who owned Dark Lands feel they had profited, and they promptly took action to request refunds.

The refund process was handled entirely by these twelve Eclipse Clan members.

The entire process was actually very simple, requiring no offline recording throughout.

There were three key points in the refund process publicly released by the Eclipse Clan.

1. Refunds are only supported for players who purchased the Dark Lands, conducted within the Monster World by paying Sacrificial Power.

2. Players requesting refunds must, as required, send their Earth Citizen Identity Code information to one of the twelve Eclipse Clan registration personnel in the game (any one of them).

3. Players requesting refunds must attach the Sacrificial Power required for the 1.5x refund in their mail.

Therefore, all twelve clansmen received the Sacrificial Power paid by players via mail; each mail contained the personal identity code information sent by the player according to the refund process, so the clansmen only needed to open the mail and take a look while streaming.

The Star Net would read the identity code on the mail through the live broadcast screen, confirm the Sacrificial Power amount, and complete the fund transfer in the real world the very next second.

Even a single clansman could complete this task.

But to make the refunds more efficient, they still assigned all twelve players to handle the refund matters together.

A Lan intended to use all of the 1.27 million Sacrificial Power obtained from these refunds for the construction of this spatial teleportation array.

If the Sacrificial Power was insufficient, they would find a way to gather more.

No matter what, the offline war must be transformed into an online war.

In reality, one may act submissive, but online, one must strike with heavy fists.

After requiring twelve clan members to dismantle all their Minghun except for Food Qi and purchasing Brain Overclocking Embeddings, a new round of learning began.

A Lan divided the knowledge of the Spatial System into thirteen fields, assigning herself and each clan member to handle a separate portion.

She took responsibility for learning the interconnected parts herself.

Earth, above the Atlantic Ocean.

A silver-white beacon ship tore through the cloud layer, descending from the sky at tremendous speed.

The ship's hull displayed a smooth, teardrop-like curve, covered in a layer of silver scale-like armor that shimmered with a faint blue light during flight.

The front of the ship was sharp as a spear, while the rear featured a set of ring-shaped thrusters, with a fist-sized blue crystal suspended in the center.

Before long, the ship approached the coordinate location.

Ahead lay a massive spatial rift, resembling a wound tearing through the sky, its edges flickering with unstable black distorted lines.

Inside was nothing but profound darkness.

As the ship neared the spatial rift, the energy guidance patterns on its hull flashed, releasing a thin film of energy.

Like a protective shield, it completely enveloped the ship, isolating it from the violent spatial energy surrounding the rift.

The ship's speed did not slow in the slightest; the moment it reached the rift, it suddenly accelerated, shooting straight into the fissure like a bolt of silver lightning.

Instantly, the scene in the feedback display changed abruptly.

The originally clear sky vanished, replaced by a chaotic void.

Here, concepts of up, down, left, and right did not exist; there were only countless twisted rays of light and chaotic energy flows.

The energy film released by the ship shone exceptionally bright in the void, like a lonely lamp swaying forward through endless darkness.

The rear thrusters began to flash rhythmically.

With each flash, a tiny beacon point was released.

Flying forward, laying out the line.

These beacon points were like stars, connecting signal layers one by one, transmitting them back to Earth.

As the ship ventured deeper into the void, the beacon points gradually formed a complex network, with each point collecting spatial data information.

The ship's main control system transmitted this data in real-time to Moon Eclipse City, where it was analyzed through complex spatial algorithms.

Soon, a three-dimensional spatial spectrum appeared on the display screens of the Moon Eclipse City Security Center, clearly marking the ship's current location.

Ten-plus minutes later, a faint light appeared ahead of the ship.

It was the spatial barrier of the target world, resembling a thin water membrane emitting a soft halo.

The moment the ship's energy film contacted the barrier, ripples spread across the barrier's surface, which then slowly cracked open a fissure.

Passing straight through the fissure, the ship successfully entered the target world.

What appeared on the screen was a blurry view of the otherworld, accompanied by lag and flickering.

The ship's hull trembled slightly; the rear thrusters gradually extinguished as it began to decompose and reassemble.

A floating platform quickly formed, hovering quietly in the air to continue collecting information about the minor world.

Countless beacon points behind it still flashed, resembling a connected, brilliant galaxy.

But just as the ship successfully acquired the spatial coordinate information and prepared to conduct an in-depth investigation of the minor world, the connection to Earth suddenly severed.

It was impossible to determine whether it had been destroyed or if the signal network had been cut off by some method.

However, for the Moon Eclipse Clan, who had already obtained the spatial coordinates, this was insignificant; the beacon ship's mission was complete.

Yet, merely obtaining the spatial coordinates of the world where the invading faction resided was not enough.

At this moment, the spatial device within Moon Eclipse City activated; Administrator No. 8 donned a metal helmet and entered a state of spatial perception.

Next, he had to begin searching for the coordinates of the Monster World.

Without the coordinates of the Monster World, the spatial coordinates obtained by the beacon ship would lose all meaning.

This was because the acquired coordinates were marked with Earth as the origin, making them unusable within the Monster World.

The Moon Eclipse Clan could not determine exactly how large the Void World was.

In a void environment of unknown size, coordinates were constructed based on the local region as the origin, making them suitable only for one's own use.

One could understand the Void World as an infinitely large playground.

Earth represented A, the minor world where the invading faction resided was B, and the Monster World was C.

A, B, and C stood at different positions on the playground, with no reference points between them and unable to see one another.

The Moon Eclipse Clan manipulating the beacon ship to acquire coordinates through the spatial rift could be viewed as A finding the straight-line distance between itself and B.

At this point, A took out a phone and sent a text message to C, containing the coordinate positions of B and itself.

But C had no reference points to judge B's specific location; even with the coordinate information, it was unusable.

The Void World was precisely such an infinitely large playground; the spatial coordinates used by various clans were all judged with their own world as the origin, making them relative coordinates that could not be universally applied.

Under the current circumstances, the Moon Eclipse Clan, using Earth as the origin, had acquired the coordinates of the world where the invading faction resided.

However, the Monster World also had its own origin and could not use Earth's spatial coordinates.

The void environment had no center point or boundary, so the coordinate system of each world was independent, with no common reference between them.

To make the coordinates effective, they had to locate the Monster World.

Then, when Administrator No. 16, who was located in the Monster World, constructed a spatial teleportation array, he would use Earth as a reference point, combining the coordinates of Earth and the world where the invading faction resided, to precisely calculate the coordinates between the Monster World and the minor world of the invaders.

It was like C seeing A, and upon learning the distance between A and B, being able to deduce the distance between itself and B.

After the spatial perception device activated, it pulled Administrator No. 8's consciousness into the void environment.

How to find the Monster World within the infinitely vast void was not difficult.

There were two methods to achieve this.

The first method: although the void seemed infinitely large, it actually possessed a clear spatial structure.

However, mapping the void environment was akin to mythology for ordinary clans, fundamentally impossible to accomplish.

Yet, the library in Emperor Tomb Village possessed data on this very subject.

The problem was that a void map was not presented in a flat or three-dimensional form like traditional maps; rather, it was a massive database composed of countless complex pieces of information such as spatial nodes.

Such information could not be depicted with images; it could only be borne and observed by consciousness.

The amount of information contained within the nearly infinite void was unimaginable; at the players' current stage of mental strength, not a single player could bear this information.

A single glance from their consciousness would cause them to explode.

Therefore, this method was ultimately abandoned.

The second method was now being adopted: directly searching for the Monster World.

It might seem difficult to find the Monster World within the infinitely vast void environment.

But in reality, it was not, because the Monster World was too unique.

Under the consciousness observation Cultivation Mode, Administrator No. 8's vision was dragged into the endless void.

Countless world bubbles flickered like stars, resembling faintly visible constellations in the night sky.

However, amidst this sea of stars, one existence shone as brilliantly as the sun, instantly capturing Administrator No. 8's full attention.

This was the Monster World.

The light it emitted was completely different from that of other world bubbles.

It was not a single hue but woven from countless colors, blooming in the void like a magnificent aurora.

The light contained energy fluctuations that made even his consciousness tremble; every flash expanded outward rhythmically like a heartbeat, dyeing the surrounding space with a faint glow.

Even across an immensely vast distance, Administrator No. 8 could feel the oppressive force rushing toward him.

It was as if the light of the Monster World could pierce through the void and directly touch his consciousness.

What shocked him even more was that the light emitted by the Monster World was not static; it rose and fell rhythmically like breathing.

Every expansion of the light stirred ripples in the void, as if the Monster World itself was a living lifeform, constantly growing within the void.

This was clearly the reason why the Monster World attracted countless factions.

These factions were roughly divided into four categories.

The first category included those like the Lord of Extreme Bliss, the Ancient God Clan, Shu Yan, and the Ascension Clan—ambitious schemers who wished to conquer the Monster World and stand at the peak of the world.

Their greatest characteristic was bringing the rules of their homeland world, or even the core land of their homeland, to merge into the Monster World.

They had no intention of returning from the moment they arrived.

Indeed, many of these factions enjoyed the process of vying for dominance against myriad races; even if failure was the probable outcome, they did not hesitate.

The second category of factions was like moths flying into a flame, deceived by the Monster World's gorgeous appearance only to be killed upon entry.

The third category consisted of factions with insufficient knowledge of space, whose homelands faced problems, forcing them to teleport randomly.

The Monster World acted like a gravitational center within the void environment, attracting these randomly teleporting factions to descend; most were immediately supered by the forces within the Monster World, turning into nutrients.

They could be termed resource airdrops for the Monster World.

The fourth category consisted of factions brimming with misplaced confidence; they were like frogs at the bottom of a well.

The Heavenly Fire Dharma King was a faction of this type; the limitations of their environment made it difficult for them to make accurate judgments, leading them to believe their clan's strength was sufficient to dominate any world.

They descended upon the Monster World harboring unrealistic ambitions.

As for the Combat Insect Clan and the Terrifying Black Black Tide, they could also be classified into the first category, but in terms of combat power, they stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid within that first category.

Gazing at the brilliant halo at the end of the void, Administrator No. 8 felt deeply shaken.

According to the description in the guidance, the area of the Monster World was continuing to expand.

He could hardly imagine how vast the final form of the Monster World would be.

The distance between Earth and the Monster World was currently unknown; what he needed to do now was measure that distance.

But his worry was how long it would take to fly in order to measure this distance.

The spatial distance calculation method mastered by the Eclipse Clan allowed for continuous mid-point jumps using consciousness, with each jump covering a distance of 80 Eclipse Spatial Points.

If the distance between the two was too vast, using this method might mean they could never reach the Monster World in their lifetimes.

Continuously shuttling forward, the dazzling Monster World remained forever on the horizon, out of reach.

Just as Administrator No. 8 decided to advance via random linear coordinate jumps to accelerate the measurement efficiency,

the voice of the Star Net rang in his mind:

"No. 8, we have the coordinates."

Hearing these words, Administrator No. 8 was instantly stunned.

"Star Net, I haven't finished the measurement yet; how can we already have the coordinates?"

"No. 16 asked the Guide in the Monster World and obtained the coordinate information for both Earth and the Monster World."

Administrator No. 8: ...

"Doesn't the Guide refuse to reveal any information outside the Monster World to players?"

Facing the inquiry, the Star Net's voice sounded once more:

"It is certain that while the High-Dimensional God will not help us directly, he supports our actions; stability in reality aligns with his needs. Therefore, I had No. 16 tentatively ask the Guide, and we received a clear response."

After understanding the reason, Administrator No. 8 gazed at the brilliantly shining Monster World in the unknown distance ahead, his feelings complex.

There was a sense that all his efforts had been meaningless.

Just as the high command of the Eclipse Clan successfully obtained clear coordinates and prepared to dispatch another reconnaissance spacecraft to the minor world to acquire more detailed data,

here in Emperor Tomb Village, A Lan and the members of the Eclipse Clan were still studying hard.

The rustling sound of turning pages rang out continuously.

Knowledge of spatial studies assembled and expanded in their minds like puzzle pieces.

Three days later.

Having mastered the method for constructing simple transmission channels, A Lan decided to begin practical implementation.

Selecting a location for the spatial transmission array.

Considering safety, A Lan chose the Colorful Mist Coast region.

The five safest novice villages were ruled out first, as players had no authority to alter the settings within those scenes.

As for the scenes outside the novice villages,

the safest was the Colorful Mist Coast region; most monsters outside had already been cleared by players, and even the level 0 crabs hunted on the beach had become scarce.

Such an environment was most suitable for constructing a spatial transmission array.

He had considered building it in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, letting the Black Black Tide and Insect Black Tide replace players in traveling to the minor world to consume the invading forces there.

However, constructing a stable spatial transmission channel in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range was far too difficult.

The moment construction began, the Evil Eye Society would instantly detect the spatial fluctuations.

Given the personality of the Ground Nian Bully,

it would inevitably interfere just to cause trouble; the more the players suffered, the happier it would be.

This would only increase the difficulty of building the spatial transmission array.

After comprehensive consideration, the Colorful Mist Coast region was ultimately chosen.

Regarding the purchase of materials, A Lan first considered the Void Origin Stones produced in the Winter Snowfield region.

Under his sweeping purchases, the price of Void Origin Stones in the Exchange Hall skyrocketed fivefold in a single day, being completely swept clean.

Even a single Void Origin Stone listed by a player purely as a decoration at ten times the market price was purchased.

This behavior also sparked heated discussion on the forum.

One post in particular launched directly into insults.

[I just want to ask, which idiot hoarder is randomly snapping up goods in the Exchange Hall?]

Poster: Weapon of Destruction

Content:

What is going on?

In just one day, the price of Void Origin Stones has skyrocketed fivefold; I ask, which wealthy hoarder is disrupting market prices?

Our Doomsday Technology Society is currently developing spatial storage devices to improve the mining efficiency of our mining robots, but upon logging in and seeing the price of Void Origin Stones, I was stunned.

What is the point of your actions? At the current stage, apart from raising the growth-type pet "Mechanical Guardian," there is absolutely no other channel to consume Void Origin Stones.

As for expanding inventory slots, it is better to simply consume Sacrificial Power directly.

The price-performance ratio of Void Origin Stones in the Exchange Hall has long disappeared; isn't your behavior specifically targeting our Doomsday Technology Society?

Are you sick? Now there isn't a single Void Origin Stone left in the Exchange Hall; how are we supposed to proceed with our research?

I hate this kind of player who hoards goods waiting for prices to rise the most; they only slow down the development pace of our player faction, and profiting from price differences is the most disgusting thing imaginable.

You are truly annoying; I advise you to quickly relist the Void Origin Stones you purchased...

This post was published by a member of the Arms Merchant Society, furiously cursing the hoarding players.

To this, A Lan paid no attention.

He naturally knew that bulk purchasing within a short period would inevitably cause the prices of specific spiritual materials to skyrocket.

The most cost-effective method should have been gradual, step-by-step purchasing.

But he had no time.

War in the real world could arrive at any moment.

He had to establish a spatial transmission channel as soon as possible to deliver a heavy online punch to the forces about to invade.

Only under the pressure of invasion would the forces on the other side of the spatial rift be too busy to concern themselves with Earth, shifting all their energy to confronting the players.

Therefore, paying a bit more did not matter.

This expenditure could be regarded as a bonus for the players selling Void Origin Stone resources.

Just as the Star Net said, if one changes the way of thinking to serving the growth of the player legions, then this expenditure has meaning.

A Lan's sweeping purchases also made the Winter Snowfield region lively.

Many players chose to take risks, heading to the Void Origin Peak node region to Iron Face the challenges of the Snow Ridge Wilderness, all just to secretly mine some Void Origin Stones to sell back in the village.

This was exactly the result A Lan wanted.

Constructing the spatial transmission array might fail, and the Void Origin Stones on hand might not be enough; these actions could precisely replenish the Exchange Hall.

After purchasing a series of materials, A Lan began the busy work of constructing the spatial transmission channel.

The location was chosen to the west of the Colorful Mist Coast, where few players ventured, providing ample space for free operation.

Some time later, A Lan and the members of the Eclipse Clan stood on the western side of the Colorful Mist Coast; surrounding them was a quiet forest, with only the rustling sound of the breeze brushing through the leaves.

A wide open space had already been cleared nearby, with materials like Void Origin Stones placed in the center.

The vast majority of these materials had been purchased from the Mall.

Standing in the center of the open space, holding a piece of Void Origin Stone, A Lan rapidly reviewed the knowledge learned over the past few days in his mind, then directed his clansmen to divide the labor and begin attempting to construct the spatial transmission array.

The first step was simple: constructing the basic framework of the spatial transmission array.

A Lan directed several clansmen to sprinkle energy crystal powder on the ground, weaving a huge circular framework.

The conductivity of the crystal powder was excellent, making it an ideal material for constructing the basic framework of a transmission array.

Items sold in the Mall were guaranteed to be premium; their purity was far beyond what could be matched by products made by other races.

The only drawback was the relatively high selling price.

Subsequently, A Lan personally took charge, using spiritual liquid to draw spatial runes on the framework.

Spatial runes were the core of the spatial transmission array.

If spiritual materials were compared to paper and brush, then runes were the words written on the paper.

These runes included Space-Stabilizing Runes, Space-Guiding Runes, and so on.

Each type of rune played a different role after being combined with the transmission array.

For example, stabilizing space or tearing space.

Every stroke of the runes had to be incredibly precise; the spiritual liquid flowed across the ground's surface, gradually forming a complex pattern.

After completing the initial drawing, he placed a Rift Crystal purchased from the Mall in the center of the framework, serving as the core node of the transmission array.

Next came the placement of spatial anchors; these were spatial inscriptions carved using a liquid made by dissolving crushed Void Origin Stones with Ink Flame.

Only with anchors could one ensure that the exit of the transmission array would not deviate from the target.

Each Void Anchor Stone was precisely embedded into the ground, tightly connected to the overall framework of the spatial transmission array.

During the initial activation test, energy began to flow through the array, gradually merging with the framework.

After a sudden flash, it stabilized and returned to calm.

Standing in the center of the transmission array, A Lan used his Analysis ability to scan the different nodes of the array; whenever a problem was detected, he quickly adjusted the rune arrangement to ensure the energy could be distributed evenly.

The clansmen assisted nearby, simultaneously checking the connection status of every node to ensure nothing was missed.

After multiple adjustments, the energy flow of the spatial transmission array gradually stabilized.

But even so, it was still far from meeting the standards for use.

This was merely the most basic setup for a simple-type spatial transmission array.

Next, he needed to inscribe more runes so that the spatial tunnel generated after tearing space could operate stably.

What was certain was that a series of problems would exist once the spatial array they constructed began operating.

Without corresponding spatial system craftsmanship, a teleportation array crafted purely by hand could never meet qualified standards.

The spatial channel generated upon activation would most likely contain multiple unstable gaps.

This would cause a series of issues during teleportation, possibly even resulting in being swept up in a spatial counter-current mid-transit and dying on the spot.

But right now, the most important thing was to exert pressure on the invading forces as soon as possible.

For a first attempt, it was good enough that it could even function.

As for the risks of teleportation, there was currently no means to resolve them.

During the first attempt, the spatial teleportation array became unstable during operation, then suddenly exploded, generating a spatial rift that devoured a large quantity of spiritual materials before quickly healing.

Failure had long been expected; in fact, structural problems had already been discovered after the analysis scan.

But the materials on the spatial teleportation array had already fused along with the inscribed runes.

To make changes, they would need to refine and decompose the fused materials again, yet they currently lacked both the technology and equipment for such a task. They might as well try operating it to see how the spatial teleportation array would behave upon failure.

The second attempt began quickly.

Learning from the lessons of the previous failure, this time they adjusted the spacing intervals in the combination of spatial runes.

Throughout the process, they continuously queried the Guidance, asking specifically which steps were problematic.

But even though the Guidance gave clear answers, A Lan still experienced hand tremors during the array's construction, causing errors in rune inscription and ultimately ending in failure.

The third attempt commenced soon after; with the experience from the first two tries, the process of constructing the spatial teleportation array was much faster this time.

After embedding energy crystal stones into the spatial teleportation array, it successfully completed its initial operation.

Harboring expectations, A Lan and his clansmen activated their analysis scan toward the spatial teleportation array, and immediately, relevant information floated up in their minds.

[Spatial Teleportation Array (Basic Type)]:

Description: A crude and unstable basic-type spatial teleportation array constructed from fundamental spatial-system materials such as Star Powder and Void Origin Stone. Due to imprecise rune drawing and uneven energy flow, multiple spatial gaps will exist within the teleportation channel generated upon activation. The probability of being swept into a spatial counter-current is as high as 54.7%. It can barely operate, but the risks of teleportation are extremely high.

Notice: No teleportation coordinates have been established; unable to tear open a spatial rift.

Upon seeing the analysis description indicating a death risk during teleportation as high as 54.7%, A Lan and his clansmen fell silent.

After a brief hesitation, A Lan seemed to figure it out, nodding solemnly as he said:

"It's not a big problem; it can be put into use. It's normal for a few players to die during the teleportation process."
