Regarding discussions about higher dimensions, since ultimately it’s just talking without action, it ends up being shelved.
After a while, the Spatial Tempest ahead started a new round of expansion and spread. Nami Midori watched the rapidly expanding Spatial Tempest, and softly said: "Has the Spatial Tempest really not invaded Treasureland?"
Angel couldn’t be sure of the answer to this question.
But as time passed slowly, Angel’s heart increasingly leaned towards the thought that Treasureland was still intact. Because according to Wang Wang’s speed, even if it crossed the Spatial Tempest back and forth, it would be a matter of moments, yet until now it still hasn’t appeared, which actually explains a few things.
Perhaps, it might already be in Treasureland by now.
Of course, it could also be that it encountered danger and didn’t have time to retreat... However, Angel thinks the possibility is probably low, for the survivability of Void Travelers is extremely strong, and if something really happened, other Void Travelers nearby would surely sense something from the network, yet now these Void Travelers still show no change, indicating Wang Wang should be fine for now.
Time continued to move forward until five more minutes passed, Wang Wang finally appeared in their sight.
The first to notice Wang Wang was Angel, who had always kept the Energy Vision open, so he saw Wang Wang slowly emerging from the darkness first. But speaking purely in terms of energy fluctuations, Angel didn’t sense anything, Wang Wang’s return was as quiet as its departure.
Angel: "What’s the result? Is there an untouched land inside the Spatial Tempest?"
Angel’s query also made Nami Midori notice Wang Wang’s return; its vertical pupils sparkled with curiosity.
Yet Wang Wang didn’t reply immediately, instead, it pondered for a moment before saying: "Your judgment is correct, the Spatial Tempest here is circular, and there is indeed an empty space within."
Wang Wang’s words made Angel’s eyes brighten: "How far is the untouched land from the Spatial Tempest’s periphery? Can you take me inside?"
Wang Wang: "The distance is not far, I should be able to take you inside."
When saying this, a look of hesitation suddenly flashed in Wang Wang’s eyes.
Angel also noticed Wang Wang’s anomaly and asked: "It seems like you have more to say? You stayed in the Spatial Tempest for quite some time, did you discover something?"
Wang Wang thought for a while before continuing: "After traversing the Void and reaching the interior, I found a presence... that fills me with fear."
"Liani Whale?" Angel subconsciously thought of the Void Traveler’s archenemy.
Wang Wang shook its head vigorously like a drum: "It’s not that kind of fear, but a..."
Wang Wang struggled for a long time to find the words but couldn’t find the right description: "I don’t know how to describe it, upon entering, I was intimidated by that terrifying aura and didn’t dare to move for quite a while."
A realization flashed in Angel’s eyes; he initially thought Wang Wang was exploring Treasureland, hence it didn’t return promptly; now he understands Wang Wang was frightened upon entering and couldn’t move.
"How did you eventually get out?" Nami Midori also received the information fluctuation Wang Wang released, and after hearing its story, couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Wang Wang: "After staying there for quite some time, I realized although the aura was terrifying, it didn’t suppress my abilities, so I hurried back."
Pausing for a moment, Wang Wang looked at Angel: "Although that aura didn’t attack me, it’s extremely terrifying. I can send you inside, but are you sure you want to enter?"
If it was before, Wang Wang wouldn’t care about a human’s life or death, but Angel is related to the Dalmatian’s command, if Angel gets in trouble, the network connection with the Dalmatian can’t be established, Wang Wang definitely wouldn’t escape the blame. So, after pondering, it chose to reveal the truth to Angel, cautioning him.
After Angel listened, he didn’t immediately respond but turned to look at Nami Midori: "What do you think, Nami Midori?"
Nami Midori: "I don’t know what the aura Wang Wang is referring to, but at least four hundred years ago, when the Spatial Tempest had not appeared, there was nothing wrong with the Treasureland."
Although Nami Midori hadn’t opened the treasure, it had still been near it, and the situation was normal at that time.
Angel: "So, the aura appeared later? Could it be that a powerful Magical Creature has entered?"
Nami Midori hesitated for a moment: "I have guarded here for years and never sensed a powerful Magical Creature’s fluctuations, the Floating Flowers haven’t reacted either... probably not?"
Previously, Nami Midori was certain, but after hearing Wang Wang’s account, it became somewhat hesitant; there’s no need for Wang Wang to lie about this.
This caused Angel to fall into deep thought.
Although Nami Midori’s answers weren’t definitive, Angel still trusts its judgment more, and Wang Wang doesn’t need to lie.
If eliminating the external cause of Magical Creatures, then why does Treasureland harbor a terrifying aura?
Or perhaps, Feng had originally hidden something in the treasure that emits such an aura?
Since nobody knows what Feng’s treasure is, this remains a question mark.
Angel pondered for a long time, eventually he raised his head and said to Wang Wang: "I’ve decided to go and take a look."
Wang Wang: "Are you certain?"
Angel nodded solemnly, his decision wasn’t based purely on impulse. He had thought it through carefully, since Treasureland hadn’t been invaded by the Spatial Tempest; and the solution to the Spatial Tempest—the presence of Wang Wang—happened to appear; coupled with Wang Wang confirming it could transport Angel across the exact distance from the Spatial Tempest’s periphery to Treasureland.
Coincidentally, Angel had doubts, coincidentally Wang Wang arrived, and coincidentally Wang Wang could transport him to Treasureland.
These three coincidences appeared simultaneously, intricately interwoven.
This obviously cannot be a real coincidence, but certainly within Feng’s arrangement.
Although subjectively, Wang Wang surely doesn’t know of the existence of a "setup," it becomes a passive role due to the fate Chapters written in the Book of Kael.
Since everything is within the setup’s design, Angel speculates, the terrifying aura in Treasureland is likely another part of the setup.
And Feng arranged such a grand scheme, considering all aspects, even pinning Nami Midori’s promotion hopes on Angel, so it’s surely not a dead-end setup in the end.
Since it’s not a dead-end, Angel is still willing to give it a try.
Seeing Angel had made up his mind, Wang Wang no longer said much: "Okay, when the Spatial Tempest shrinks to its tightest, I’ll take you to traverse into the empty space."
The transport distance Wang Wang can cover is but a hundred miles or so. To avoid issues, even saving a few miles of journey can be crucial sometimes. So, waiting until the Spatial Tempest retreats to its smallest before taking Angel across is the best strategy.
On the other side, Nami Midori didn’t comment much on Angel’s choice, it wasn’t foolish, whatever Angel could think of, it could also associate.
However, even though everything is deemed as arranged by the fate Chapters, caution is still necessary where it is warranted.
"When entering, choose the moment when the Spatial Tempest is at its smallest retreat, and do the same when coming out. I have the rise and fall patterns of the Spatial Tempest here, you might want to take a look to avoid any issues when leaving." Nami Midori gently flicked her tail, and a green leaf flew in front of Angel.
