Aksai slowly withdrew his gaze from the dark surface of the Void Water Pond.
For now, he decided not to think too deeply about how the Gu Poison King had obtained sothing this terrifying. There was no point wasting ti guessing when he already possessed Arkaal’s intact soul.
Once Arkaal was revived as a woodland fiend later, Aksai would eventually gain access to many of the old man’s mories and knowledge. Naturally, that would include the secrets related to this place. This was no ti or space to think about those questions.
"Haah... one problem at a ti," Aksai muttered softly.
His eyes slowly moved across the dark pond again.
The Void Water remained completely still. Not a single ripple existed on its surface. It looked like a patch of endless night trapped inside the raised void stone platform.
The surrounding space felt strangely quiet here.
Even the sounds from the gu insect farm below seed distant now.
Aksai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So what exactly should I do with this thing?" he murmured.
He clearly could not move it into the Enchanted Everwood Farm with his own powers. Yelia had already confird that the artifact space could not withstand the spatial pressure of the Void Water yet. And leaving this place behind also felt wasteful.
Aksai slowly crossed his arms while thinking carefully. Then suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind.
"...Might as well test it a little more."
Since he was seemingly resistant to the harmful influence of the Void Water, there was no reason not to observe it further while following certain precautions. More importantly, this might beco a rare chance to broaden his understanding of spatial laws.
Such opportunities did not co easily in Dadangar Subcontinent.
Aksai slowly inhaled before activating his three extra senses once again.
Spirit Sense.
Qi Sense.
Aether Sense.
Invisible waves spread outward from him toward the dark pond.
The mont they touched the Void Water—
They disappeared. Just like before.
It was as though his senses had been swallowed whole by an endless void.
However—
This ti, Aksai noticed sothing different. The surface of the Void Water suddenly lit up faintly.
"...Hmm?"
Aksai’s eyes narrowed instantly. Tiny azure lights had appeared deep beneath the black surface.
One.
Two.
Then dozens.
The dark pond now looked like a moonless night sky filled with distant stars.
Aksai stared carefully.
Last ti, he had been standing below the platform and couldn’t see this phenonon clearly. But now that he stood directly beside the pond, he could finally observe it properly.
The more his senses touched the Void Water—
The brighter those tiny lights beca. A faint look of fascination appeared on his face.
"What..."
The glow did not co from one source.
Instead, countless tiny particles hidden deep inside the Void Water were lighting up one after another. They looked incredibly small and distant, like clusters of stars floating inside an endless galaxy.
And every ti Aksai sent his senses toward the pond—
More of those tiny "stars" lit up.
A strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
’What happens if I keep doing this?’
There was only one way to find out.
Aksai imdiately continued. Wave after wave of Spirit Sense spread toward the pond.
His Qi Sense followed. Then his Aether Sense.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Every single wave disappeared into the Void Water without returning any feedback.
But the pond reacted more intensely now.
The tiny azure lights deep within the darkness multiplied rapidly. The entire pond slowly started glowing brighter. Soft azure radiance spread outward across the void stone platform.
Aksai’s face gradually beca illuminated by the strange blue glow. The surrounding darkness looked almost dreamlike now.He looked carefully at the tiny glowing particles inside the pond.
And soon, he realized sothing.
"...They’re eating my senses," he muttered quietly.
That was exactly what it looked and felt like. Those tiny star-like clusters seed to devour the waves of his senses the mont they entered the Void Water.
And every ti they "ate" a portion, they lit up brighter in response. The scene was both beautiful and mysterious.
Aksai continued feeding the pond with his senses without stopping. At this point, the azure glow had beco much brighter than before. His face and clothes were covered in soft blue radiance.
The Void Water Pond no longer looked like simple black water. It looked like a living night sky. Or perhaps, a hidden universe trapped inside a tiny pond.
***
While Aksai continued experinting with the Void Water Pond, the rest of the underground region was slowly changing.
Far behind him, the giant spatial vortex created by the Enchanted Everwood Farm had already finished devouring almost the entirety of the gu insect farm.
Everything was gone.
Even the complex formation networks spread beneath the underground region had disappeared completely. Only the raised Void Stone platform remained untouched in the center of the barren land.
The stretched shadows no longer moved wildly like before. The giant spatial vortex above had also started shrinking slowly.
At this mont, Yelia floated silently in the air while looking across the transford underground region calmly.
The previous gu insect farm no longer existed. In its place was an empty and lifeless underground land. The soil looked dry and gray. There were cracks everywhere.
Not even a blade of grass could be seen. It looked as though the place had been abandoned for countless years.
If an outsider entered this place now, they would probably assu that the gu insect farm had either been robbed clean or destroyed using so terrifying spatial technique.
Nobody would think that the entire region had actually been devoured whole.
After all, the surrounding spatial fabric still looked perfectly stable.
That was because Yelia had acted very quickly during the devouring process.
The mont the Enchanted Everwood Farm consud the original space, she imdiately replaced the missing portions using the stored spatial runes accumulated inside the artifact for countless years.
Old space was replaced with new space.
The quantity remained the sa.
The quality also remained the sa.
Thus, from the perspective of the Dadangar World itself—
Nothing had truly gone missing.
