Angel found it hard to believe that the World Will of the Tidal World would appear in the Void.
But the facts were laid out before him, leaving him no choice but to believe.
"What does the presence of the World Will in the Treasureland mean? Did Feng know about it when he arranged his layout, or was it an accident?"
Angel recalled Nami Midori’s description of the Treasureland. Nami Midori had never mentioned the presence of the World Will. Given her capabilities, she would have sensed the World Will, but since she didn’t mention it, it indicated that the World Will hadn’t appeared six hundred years ago.
This analysis sounds very familiar: the Spatial Tempest also didn’t appear six hundred years ago.
Could there be some connection between the two?
The World Will was born after the Spatial Tempest. Or perhaps, the Spatial Tempest itself was the handiwork of the World Will?
As Angel considered this, suddenly many thoughts became clearer in his mind.
Previously, he had always felt uneasy about why the Spatial Tempest could last so long, and why its intensity varied. At the time, due to insufficient information, it was difficult to obtain a definite answer. But if the World Will was introduced as an external factor, everything seemed much more reasonable.
To keep the Spatial Tempest in existence definitely couldn’t be done by ordinary means. Moreover, the Spatial Tempest’s regular expansion and contraction further indicates that those who arranged it had definitely come into contact with rule-level power, and this rule-level power was no ordinary rule; it had to involve the rules of the Void.
Such power is beyond the reach of ordinary people, yet the World Will, which is a collection of rules, has the ability to achieve this.
Therefore, if the source of the Spatial Tempest is attributed to the World Will, then many logics become coherent.
However, despite logic being coherent, it still cannot explain why the World Will would appear here?
Or perhaps, Feng’s so-called treasure was actually aimed to create an intimate encounter between Angel and the World Will?
Angel couldn’t answer it. However, if Feng’s setup indeed involved the World Will, then he believed there should be answers left here.
Angel set aside various floating thoughts and speculations in his heart and continued forward.
On the path ahead, besides contemplating issues about the World Will, Angel also thought about Wang Wang.
Was the aura that Wang Wang said made it fearful referring to the World Will? The oppressive power of the World Will is indeed strong, but making people fear, Angel thought it was not too bad.
Wang Wang could withstand the pressure of the Strange World, yet it couldn’t withstand the pressure of the World Will, which seemed odd.
Or was the aura that Wang Wang felt fearful of, not the World Will? Or did the World Will specifically target Wang Wang?
Perhaps because of loneliness, or other reasons, questions kept popping up in Angel’s mind one after another. However, this did not last long, firstly because the external pressure became increasingly strong without allowing him to indulge in wild thoughts; secondly, he drew closer to the light sources, and reality clearly became more important compared to unfounded doubts.
As Angel delved deeper, he saw not just tens, but hundreds, even thousands of light points, and it seemed there was still no end in sight.
When the light points increased, Angel also began to feel a familiar sense of déjà vu with these shimmering light points in the Void.
Initially, Angel didn’t understand where this sense of déjà vu came from, until when he was less than ten miles away from the nearest light point, he suddenly understood.
Angel stood still somewhere in the Void, then started adjusting his viewpoint continuously, finally Angel found a very suitable angle.
From this angle, looking afar—
Far away, those light points gathered according to certain rules, like a twinkling galaxy, stretching from some distant depth to the very center of his sight.
This glowing galaxy was like a luminous path in the Void, extending from some unknown distant place to the vicinity.
"You walk in darkness, with a luminous path beneath your feet." Angel stared blankly at the distance, murmuring softly: "This is... the scene Hua Que and Dororo saw in their prophecy."
The prophecy illuminated reality.
Not only the prophecy of the two prophets of the Baiyuan Clan, but Angel also saw in the painting studio in the White Cloud Village, an oil painting exactly identical to the current scene.
And the author of that oil painting was Feng.
Angel had imagined countless times that the Path of Light in Hua Que’s prophecy might be a street in the dark lit by street lamps on both sides.
But unexpectedly, this path of light was not in reality but existed deep within the vast Void.
"What does the Path of Light signify? Is its end your Treasureland... Feng?" Angel gazed at the distant Path of Light, feeling a bit peculiar.
Since Feng had painted the related oil painting, then undoubtedly, even if the Path of Light before him wasn’t Feng’s creation, it’s definitely related to Feng.
Long after, Angel gently exhaled and continued onward.
He began to somewhat anticipate what kind of scene awaited at the end of the Path of Light.
It took about five minutes or so, Angel finally reached the beginning of the Path of Light. Once here, he understood the truth of the "light points."
It was a massive heap of Void Algae.
Void Algae is actually a variant of Void Floating Algae. Void Floating Algae is a very special Demon Plant, with characteristics of spatial void as well as plant characteristics. It absorbs free spatial energy to meet its survival requirements.
The reason Angel’s bracelet space could contain living beings is because it contained Void Floating Algae inside. Absorbing spatial energy on one hand, while releasing oxygen that living beings rely on for survival, on the other.
As for Void Algae, it can also absorb spatial energy, but instead of releasing oxygen, it converts it into light energy through a special structure, allowing Void Algae to continuously emit soft light in the Void.
Many predators in the Void collect Void Algae, like deep-sea Anglerfish, wearing a hat made of algae on their heads. As most Void Creatures have a tendency to move towards light, these algae become tools for trapping.
For Wizards, although the preciousness of Void Algae is not comparable to Void Floating Algae, it is not entirely without use. Void Algae can be used to produce many items related to light energy, but to meet the production standards, the quantity of Void Algae needed would be extremely large, often making its use somewhat uneconomical.
But if you have a large amount of Void Algae as a base, choosing self-luminous Void Algae is still a great choice.
It’s just that the scarcity of Void Algae is even less than Void Floating Algae, so Wizards rarely use Void Algae to make light energy items.
However, the usually scarce Void Floating Algae are terrifyingly abundant here.
Along this Path of Light, Angel saw at least tens of thousands of light points, each composed of tens of thousands of Void Floating Algae...
Angel wondered if this was Feng’s handiwork, and if it truly was, it was quite the grand gesture.
