Chapter 1529
If you throw a stone into a small pond and create ripples that spread across the whole pond, it's nothing special, but if you throw a stone into the ocean and create ripples that spread across the whole sea, that's a big deal—probably requiring something like an extinction-level meteorite.
"The spatial tremor—I don't know what caused it, but you sensed it here first, then it reached me, so it must be coming from this direction." Luomu Luo'er pointed in a direction.
After saying that, Luomu Luo'er froze for a moment and said doubtfully: "Wait, I'm also projecting here—why can't I sense it, but you can? Your true body isn't even here either."
We're all projections—why are you so special?
You're clearly projecting from the Boundless Realm, and you even used your true body as a relay—this makes even less sense. Using yourself as a relay, how could you have abilities your true body doesn't?
Anthony naturally knew why Ange could sense it, so he quickly changed the subject: "My lord, divine power is omnipotent. You said it's coming from this direction—what's there? How far? Can you calculate it?"
Luomu Luo'er could sense Anthony's wariness toward him, felt gloomy inside, but still replied: "I don't know how far, but I know how fast it is, and it can transmit to another branch, so the intensity is very high."
"Can you tell what this tremor means?" Anthony asked.
"What what means?" Luomu Luo'er didn't understand.
Anthony said: "Is this naturally formed? Or is something deliberately triggering it? Is it a message? Or just a natural phenomenon?"
Just like ripples spreading across the whole ocean—are they from a meteorite naturally falling from the sky? Or did a mage cast magic to stir them up? These two meanings are completely different.
But Luomu Luo'er's focus was on the message: "Can spatial tremors be used to send messages? How?"
Ripples spreading across the whole ocean are already a tsunami—Anthony's statement is equivalent to: You're actually saying someone used a tsunami to send a message? How would you send it?
"Can't you?" Anthony froze, then spoke while looking toward Ange.
In his understanding, using spatial tremors should allow sending information—as long as the tremor matches a rhythm, it can be done.
Ange tilted his head, thought for a moment, came to the gravity midpoint, and reached out to grab it.
The gravity midpoint actually shifted toward Ange's position.
The gravity midpoint was originally the midpoint between the two Devouring Abyss forces, with gravity lines tightly wound; Ange's grab made them even tighter, and the entire gravity field began to slowly deform.
Then Ange suddenly let go, and the gravity midpoint snapped back like a string, trembling once, and a spatial tremor spread in all directions.
Everyone trembled at once—just now's tremor, aside from Luomu Luo'er, no one else could sense it, but now this tremor is too close, and they clearly felt it.
Seeing it worked, Ange immediately adjusted his direction, one hand making a virtual grip, tightening the gravity midpoint, pulling the two Devouring Abysses, forming a taut string pointing toward Luomu Luo'er's true body.
Then Ange plucked the 'string' rhythmically, sending out tremors one after another.
Luomu Luo'er sensed these tremors, hesitated, and said: "Who are you?"
Ange nodded: "True body."
Nai Ge Li Si didn't understand, anxiously asking: "What do you mean, who are you?"
Then he turned to Luomu Luo'er to translate: "He's asking if your true body sensed it?"
Luomu Luo'er exclaimed in delight: "The rhythm he plucked is exactly the 'Who are you?' in starlight—we divine stars use this rhythm to inquire about other divine stars' identities. I never thought it could be done this way—replacing divine light's flicker with tremor rhythm can indeed carry information, and every divine star can understand it."
After a pause, Luomu Luo'er added: "The true body didn't sense it—probably too far away."
Ange pulled the string again, plucked it hard—this time clearly harder than before.
"No sensation." Luomu Luo'er said.
After repeating this five times, each time harder than the last, until the fifth time, Luomu Luo'er finally said: "Got it, got it—very faint."
Ange plucked once more, harder than the sixth time.
"I sensed it—very clear, impressive, truly capable of transmitting information." Luomu Luo'er exclaimed in shock.
After being a divine star for so many years, Luomu Luo'er still discovered for the first time that spatial tremors could actually be used this way.
Ange pointed here, then pointed at Luomu Luo'er, and said: "Distance, six sections."
Wursiman, Nai Ge Li Si, Anthony, and others all jolted; Nai Ge Li Si even more excitedly asked: "Ange, what do you mean by 'six sections'? Did you just pluck six times—once per section?"
Ange nodded.
"Are you marking distance?" Nai Ge Li Si excitedly asked.
After entering the void, Nai Ge Li Si and others faced a very troublesome problem: units.
Units commonly used in the planes—like volume, weight, distance—almost all become invalid in the void.
Distance often jumps to hundreds of millions of kilometers, a plane is just a few trillion trillion tons—numbers too large, making units meaningless.
Volume and weight—fine, if not used, not used—but distance has been giving them headaches.
How far is the Little Fire Person Divine Star from the Boundless Great Void? Ten-something billion kilometers. How far is the Silent Dead Sea from the Little Fire Person Divine Star? Ten-something billion kilometers.
Until the Silent Dead Sea gathered into a divine star, they still hadn't calculated that 'several' in ten-something billion—is it one, or nine?
Without a proper distance unit, communication becomes very troublesome—can't state exact distance, can only point and say 'go straight' or 'go straight straight straight,' with distance length judged by how many 'straights'...
Moreover, can't even fix it, because nothing in the void is fixed or unchanging.
Now it's good—from here to Luomu Luo'er's true body is only six sections of distance, this is Ange's marking, and with his ability, if he says it's marked, then each section's distance should be roughly the same.
After confirming the distance to Luomu Luo'er, Ange turned direction, faced the direction the tremor came from, and plucked once—this time stronger than before, and simultaneously said: "Ten sections."
It seems he estimated it's farther than Luomu Luo'er, so he started directly from ten sections.
After waiting two hours, if the tremor was truly man-made, the other side should have received it and replied by now—so Ange plucked again: "Twelve sections."
Thereafter, Ange each time increased the distance by two sections, waited two hours, increased by two sections again, then plucked once.
He kept adding until forty sections, when a tremor finally returned—identical in rhythm to Ange's: "Who are you?"
Ten or so seconds later, Luomu Luo'er's true body also sensed it, utterly shocked, looking toward Ange: "Really man-made? Then who is it?"
