"This path leads to the Sea of Void Mirror."
"The reason this path was built is because we need to salvage the... Empty-hearted People flowing downstream."
With Genggui’s explanation, Angel finally understood the reason.
Generally speaking, the Tidal Disaster of the Sea of Void Mirror often arises without cause. No one knows when it will appear, where it will occur, or in which direction it will flow.
However, since there are regular situations, there will also be special circumstances.
The Sea of Void Mirror at the edge of the Mirror Domain is the most unique place regarding the Tidal Disaster.
Its uniqueness lies in the fact that no matter where the Tidal Disaster occurs at the edge of the Mirror Domain, it will have a common flow direction, which is towards the inner circle of the Mirror Domain.
And the place this path leads to is the necessary route to the inner circle of the Mirror Domain.
In the past, Adanis dealt with the Noah Clan by directly throwing them to the outer parts of the Sea of Void Mirror. The locations were random, but ultimately, those Empty-hearted People would pass through here.
In the past, although they could manage to salvage Empty-hearted People, it took a long time because they had to specifically search for them.
Even if they knew this was a necessary route for the Empty-hearted People, when the Tidal Disaster occurred, they still needed to retreat. Only when the Tidal Disaster subsided could they come back in.
At that time, they couldn’t determine if the Empty-hearted People were still in the outer parts or if they had been pushed into the inner circle by the Tidal Disaster.
Later, at the suggestion of Erbao, this path was constructed, and at multiple locations along the path, they installed special "Eyes" refined by the Wise Sovereign. Once the Empty-hearted People appeared, the "Eye" would lock onto them.
This way, they didn’t have to specifically search for the Empty-hearted People.
As long as the "Eye" sent a signal, they could immediately enter the Mirror Domain to search.
Even if the Tidal Disaster prevented them from entering for a while, the "Eye" could lock onto the Empty-hearted People for a certain period, preventing them from being completely lost.
Of course, the Wise Sovereign didn’t refine this "Eye" solely for the Empty-hearted People.
Although he arranged a place for each Empty-hearted Person, he didn’t consider them of major importance. The main function of this "Eye" is still for recording, analysis, and searching.
Recording and analysis are relatively easy to understand. In summary, it’s the Wise Sovereign’s research on the Sea of Void Mirror.
As for searching, the Wise Sovereign hopes to use the "Eye" to find some special things within the Sea of Void Mirror.
Such things might be Empty-hearted People, items flowing in from reality, or Secret Treasures born in the Sea of Void Mirror.
Aside from the Empty-hearted People, the other two possibilities, whether a reality-flowed item or a Secret Treasure from the Sea of Void Mirror, would not be simple if they exist in the Sea of Void Mirror.
To put it bluntly, it’s like waiting by the tree for a rabbit.
Building this path wasn’t difficult, and the gains were substantial. Thus, this is why Erbao proposed and the Wise Sovereign agreed to construct the path.
After listening to Genggui’s account, Angel also wanted to take a look below.
However, his interest wasn’t in researching the Sea of Void Mirror or "picking up scraps," but purely to see the "Eye" refined by the Wise Sovereign.
How did the "Eye" refined by the Wise Sovereign sense through worlds? Also, how could it lock onto the Empty-hearted People for a time during the Tidal Disaster in the Sea of Void Mirror? Angel was curious about what materials this "Eye" was made of.
Was it also Old Stone?
Despite his curiosity, Angel didn’t voice it. After all, to study the "Eye," Genggui wasn’t in a position to decide; the Wise Sovereign’s approval was necessary.
Moreover, he was more interested in the Sweet Dream than the Eye on the path.
...
Continuing onward, there were no more forks. Not long after, they saw the end of the corridor in the sky.
Angel thought the end of the corridor would be another mirror space shrouded in mist, but to his surprise, the end of the corridor was a grand archway constructed of vines and brilliantly blooming flowers.
The archway did not have a "door panel," but there were green strands hanging down like curtains.
Behind the archway was the Void, nothing was there. However, when looking through the opening towards the inside, one could see bright light.
This light was gentler than the gas lamps in Genggui’s space, not harsh like true natural light.
The light passing through the curtain cast a shadow of green strands onto the corridor.
As Angel approached this archway, the fragrance of the blooming flowers on the vines drifted over, matching the swaying shadows on the ground, evoking a sense of mysterious allure.
However, although one could see the bright light through the curtain, what was inside remained completely unseen.
But from these known details, it is basically confirmed that there is a space behind this wooden archway.
It should be the special space for placing the Sweet Dream.
At this time, Genggui also stopped and said to Angel, "Inside is the Lost Paradise where the Sweet Dream resides."
"Lost Paradise? Is this a name given by the Wise Sovereign?"
Just as Genggui was about to answer, a faint voice came from inside the archway: "No, I named it Lost Paradise."
As the voice fell, a figure floated out from within the archway.
Yes, it was floating out.
Angel didn’t know exactly how it floated, but seeing the person with silver hair that exceeded their height, Angel secretly speculated that perhaps it was to avoid dragging the silver hair on the ground, so they floated as they moved?
"We meet again." A cold voice came from the person.
Angel looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him and bowed slightly, placing a hand on his chest, "Yes, I didn’t expect to meet again so soon, Lady Laplace."
The newcomer was none other than Laplace, who had just recently given everyone a message.
