Chapter 1616
Anthony quietly checked his memory imprint.
A good memory is no match for a bad pen; the best way to counter forgetfulness is to record what has happened. In fact, Anthony had already forgotten about the three divine stars once before.
There's nothing to be done—this is the power of the forgetfulness imprint. Even Seeing Ange cannot control it. When the forgetfulness imprint attacks an enemy, anyone associated with the enemy is also affected, whether friend, foe, or passerby.
For example, if the enemy forgets something, his companions forget it too, his enemies forget it, and anyone who has ever seen or heard his name will forget it.
For instance, if he possesses a divine artifact and an enemy bumps into him and asks, "Where is your divine artifact?"—wouldn't that trigger a clue?
Originally, the God of Forgetfulness was forgotten even by the gods of light. Instead, some church records mention his deeds, but most of those records suffered the "Anthony's Curse" and were burned.
And Fei Ti, who was struck by the forgetfulness imprint, even forgot Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si, Harvey, and the Great Sage, among others.
As long as my own memory remains unaffected, that's fine. Anthony sighed in relief and turned to Ge Mai Zhi Bao, saying: "Your Boundless Gate—lend it to me for a moment."
Ge Mai Zhi Bao eyed Anthony warily and asked: "Why borrow it? What do you intend to do?"
"I'll use it to measure distance. Lend it or not—if not, just follow my coordinates and activate your gate; no need to open it." Anthony said.
Ge Mai Zhi Bao roughly understood Anthony's intent: "You want to use the Boundless Gate to measure coordinate ratios? You want to draw a star map?"
Anthony nodded.
"Give me a copy of the star map, or I won't lend it." Ge Mai Zhi Bao said.
Anthony said helplessly: "We need to discuss this."
After saying that, he retreated into the Soul Network. Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but say: "I can't help feeling you still want him to owe you a favor."
"Shouldn't I? I'm sharing the star map with him." Anthony said.
"But your star map is drawn using someone else's Boundless Gate, and you're probably only giving him the star map of the Infinite Realm, not the outside world—you definitely wouldn't give him that, right?" Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.
Anthony said matter-of-factly: "Of course. He can't get out anyway—what use would an outside star map be to him?"
Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si retorted: "You borrow someone's Boundless Gate, draw star maps for two worlds, give him the starless side, and he still has to thank you."
"Exactly—he should thank me. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how vast the Infinite Realm is." Anthony said righteously.
After chatting a while in the Soul Network, Anthony emerged and said to Ge Mai Zhi Bao: "Alright, but after drawing the star map, you must mark your original position on it. That way, we can compare with previous observational data."
Ge Mai Zhi Bao agreed.
Next came the lengthy mapping process. Ge Mai Zhi Bao first activated the Boundless Gate at his current position, then Anthony activated the Boundless Gate at the same position, aligning their coordinates.
Then Ge Mai Zhi Bao moved one-fiftieth of a section toward the Infinite Void, activated the Boundless Gate, and Anthony searched from his own Boundless Gate for the other's gate, observing how far the other's gate had shifted in the star map within the Boundless Gate—this shift equaled one-fiftieth of a section.
Repeating this several times to measure the displacement of each point on the star map yields the ratio between the star map and the Infinite Realm.
With this data, Anthony moved one-fiftieth of a section back to the original position, opened the Boundless Gate, and observed where it opened—thus determining the ratio between the Infinite Realm and the outside world.
"The ratio between the outside world and the Infinite Realm is one percent—meaning, moving one section here equals moving one hundred sections in the outside world." Vast data converged on Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si, and after final calculation, a concrete number emerged.
Anthony gasped: "No wonder they say this place is a divine star transfer station. Moving one section here moves one hundred sections in the outside world. If it weren't for the Boundless Gate being too small for the divine star's main body to pass through, otherwise the divine star's main body could also pass through it for transfer."
Ursman said: "Will the Star Migrants take on this kind of task? Move the divine star in, shift it to the corresponding distance, then move it out again?"
"This… we'll try later. First, let's learn the Star Migration Technique." Anthony said.
During the star mapping, Ge Mai Zhi Bao's dark star avatar and the remaining three dark stars arrived, crowding this space with thirteen dark stars and Ge Mai Zhi Bao's true body, making it unusually cramped.
Divine stars are not beach balls—they cannot be squeezed together. Each divine star is a super-massive object; when squeezed together, they form a gravitational anomaly zone, just like the two Devouring Abysses in the outside world.
The two Devouring Abysses formed a gravitational midpoint. Fourteen divine stars squeezed together, one of them still mature, causing gravitational chaos so severe that even Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si could not calculate it.
"Move aside, move aside—Ge Mai Zhi Bao, move your true body farther away." The Star Migrant shouted.
After Ge Mai Zhi Bao's true body withdrew, only thirteen dark stars of similar mass remained. Subtract the Star Migrant, and twelve remain.
In the Star Migrant's zone, following up/down/left/right/front/back orientations, pairs opposed each other, gravitational forces mutually pulling, finally forming a center point—and this center point landed on the Star Migrant himself.
"Good. Now begin: feel the gravitational tremors, feel its rhythm, adjust your own gravity to infinitely approach this rhythm." The Star Migrant shouted like a lead dancer.
Far-off onlooker Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but say: "No wonder they gather all divine stars together—originally, they used gravity to adjust the rhythm."
As gravity adjusted, the Star Migrant at the center point grew brighter and brighter. The hard shell on its surface gradually sank into stellar flames, radiating dazzling light.
Divine light blazed forth, and instantly, vast information streamed outward with the divine light, surging toward the surrounding divine stars.
"So this is what it means that divine stars have no names." Ursman murmured.
This meaningless remark left everyone stunned, and Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si directly asked: "What do you mean?"
Ursman said: "Their communication method needs no name? A flash of divine light can transmit vast information to the other party. Each divine star's divine light is a unique identifier—one flash tells you who it is."
Just like speaking: if everyone's voiceprint were unique, and you could clearly describe another's voiceprint to someone else, you wouldn't actually need names.
While everyone chatted, the remaining dark stars had already begun practicing according to the information transmitted via the Star Migrant's divine light. If viewed from Seeing Ange's angle, the entire void not only had gravity "bulging" at the Star Migrant's position, but space also undulated in ripples centered on the Star Migrant.
Until gravity "bulged" to an unprecedented height, and space undulated with an unprecedented ripple, the Star Migrant at the center violently contracted, taking its surrounding space with it, then slipped through a gap.
Seeing Ange and many others here had seen this gap before—only theirs was triangular, while this one is round.
"The wall breach—he… he ran away?" Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si said dazedly.
