Chapter 1623
While everyone was chatting, the ghost guide also moved, circling around the main body of the sixth god star and heading toward the remaining god stars, quickly diving into the vast material cloud.
This material cloud is many times larger than the Silent Dead Sea; if the Silent Dead Sea is a sea, then this is an ocean, because a large amount of matter is mixed with increasing mist and various energies, making it impossible for thoughts to penetrate deeply—such an environment makes it hard to be found once you dive in.
However, the ghost guide didn't care at all, plunging straight in, and its originally boundless vision was immediately obscured by a large amount of matter, just like encountering heavy fog—objects tens of thousands of kilometers ahead could no longer be seen clearly.
The ghost guide's movement speed exceeds tens of thousands of kilometers per second; at this distance, it's like being blind with eyes open—it could collide in the next second. But the next moment, the ghost guide's form suddenly remained unchanged, yet its position began to move slowly.
"Is it sliding? Seeing Ange, it's learning to slide in the void just like you." Nai Ge Li Si said in surprise.
Seeing Ange nodded, confirming it was sliding—a method of movement utilizing spatial curvature.
The void appears empty to the eye, but in reality it is uneven; near god stars, space is narrow, while far from them, space is thin, and encountering spatial faults or fissures can cause a cliff-like drop.
These changes are invisible to ordinary people and do not affect their movement—whether space is thin or narrow, they simply pass through if they can, or die if they can't; there's no real difference.
But for someone of Seeing Ange's level, these fluctuations can be utilized: by adjusting direction and applying just a bit of force, one can slide massive objects like surfing, letting them glide along the spatial undulations.
The speed isn't particularly fast, nor does it necessarily follow a straight line, but the greatest advantage is saving effort.
"Why would it slide for no reason? Its mass isn't large, and its speed isn't slow—wouldn't flying straight be faster?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled.
Wurseman speculated: "It should be using this method to track the direction of the 'waves.' As the lord said, space is fluctuating, but what causes these fluctuations? Probably massive objects, right? So sliding along the undulations toward the source should lead us to those hidden god stars."
"That makes sense." Everyone agreed with Wurseman's speculation, and soon, Seeing Ange's projected image confirmed this guess.
What Seeing Ange projected in the consciousness space was not the usual image they saw, but his own vision—complete with spatial undulation lines—so in everyone's eyes, the ghost guide was indeed sliding along the undulating 'wavelets,' continuously moving toward where those wavelets originated.
After sliding for over ten days, the 'wavelets' began to form a grid pattern, meaning two sources were generating ripples, and as these ripples intersected and advanced, they created this grid-like wavelet pattern.
"There are two god stars in that direction." Nai Ge Li Si said.
As soon as Nai Ge Li Si finished speaking, the wavelets immediately began showing a double-peak distribution.
"Huh? Double-slit diffraction? Not just two—there must be at least four or more, and at least one has to be large to produce this diffraction effect." Wurseman said.
"Uh, what are you talking about?" Nai Ge Li Si looked completely confused.
Wurseman clearly didn't want to explain, so he just brushed it off: "I'm talking about a physical phenomenon."
Nai Ge Li Si didn't understand, and naturally neither did the others, but they did grasp "at least four or more, with one being large."
Not long after, the image showed vast chaotic 'ripples,' and then at least five massive objects appeared in the ghost guide's perception.
The ghost guide immediately reduced its speed and silently crept forward.
Seeing Ange blinked, switching to the ghost guide's vision—this view transmitted through the faith network wasn't very clear, and its clarity couldn't compare to that of the soul network, but it was barely enough to make out the general situation.
The ghost guide only felt a blankness ahead, where a huge void appeared, inside which a massive god star was radiating dazzling bright light.
Around this god star, at least four grayish-brown rock spheres hovered, their surfaces wrapped in thick rocky shells, making them look like a plane, but their size was god-star-large—indeed, many times larger than the small fire beings.
The ghost guide halted within the material cloud, sensing the outside only through gaps, without extending its form even slightly, fearing exposure to that intense light.
In the soul network, Nai Ge Li Si suddenly realized: "It seems afraid of that bright light—is it because the light would expose its presence? Last time, Diridi's ghost guide foolishly got too close and was discovered."
"Probably," Wurseman said. "Too close, and the bright light hitting the shadow would be especially noticeable—is this Lanaya? This god star is one circle larger than the sixth god star. If the sixth god star has six ten-thousand times the intensity of the small fire beings, how many times is this one?"
Seeing Ange said: "Three hundred thousand times."
"Hiss... three hundred thousand times? Just a little larger, yet it's that much bigger?" Nai Ge Li Si said in shock.
Everyone felt a bit numb—whether six ten-thousand times or three hundred thousand times, both are unimaginable numbers. Though shocking, it didn't cause panic; it was just too far beyond comprehension.
If you said you had a few thousand magic crystal coins, people could still imagine how rich you are. But if you said you had tens of millions or hundreds of billions, they'd go numb, because they can't picture how much money that is—it's just a number to them.
At that moment, on one of the rock-shelled god stars, a beam of bright light shot toward Lanaya's direction, flashing rapidly.
"What is he doing?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled.
"They're speaking." Meilan Ya said.
"What are they saying?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.
Meilan Ya said: "I can't see the front, but from the side flashes, he should be saying 'The trap failed.'"
"Then why isn't Lanaya responding?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled.
"He is—the entire bright light in the void is Lanaya speaking. He's saying: 'Kai, you idiot, the trap failed not because of the foreign ghosts being too strong, but because my trap is ineffective. My trap is based on fork-fork-fork, and this fork-fork-fork should be translated as la-la-la...'"
Meilan Ya translated Lanaya's words in one breath, but before she finished, everyone looked at her uncomfortably, and she weakly said: "He really said that—the information density of the divine light is too high; translating it fully would take tens of thousands of words."
