The Sea of Quanta.
After taking control of the other mbers of the Stellaron Hunters, Nolan returned once again to the vicinity of the semi-transparent world bubble.
Unfortunately, Vita was nowhere to be seen, so there was no way to farm her affection.
Today, instead of searching for world bubbles, Nolan decided to first hunt down the creatures known as "Ethereals" to earn so Adventure EXP.
Before long, he arrived at the region of the seventieth world bubble. Since this world bubble contained a complete planet, it had not been rged into the "assembled continent."
However, it was still nearby, positioned close enough to facilitate future interaction and exchanges.
Generally speaking, world bubbles ford from projections of reality were rarely this complete.
As expected, this world was likely on the verge of collapse, which was why it had fallen from reality into the dinsion known as the Sea of Quanta.
If the civilization within it proved resilient enough, it might still manage to persist within the Sea of Quanta for so ti, even though eventual extinction was inevitable.
Whether in the real world or within the Sea of Quanta, all world bubbles were destined to perish one day.
Compared to the billions of years a normal planet might last, being able to survive for even a few million years in the Sea of Quanta was already not a bad outco.
If they could develop technology to continuously draw energy from the Sea of Quanta, then in essence, it would be no different from existing in reality.
However, from what Nolan observed, this world had only one remaining city called New Eridu, and its population was not large. Unless a genius on the level of the Genius Society erged, the chances of defying fate were extrely slim.
Fortunately, this world had the luck of encountering Nolan. Once it was rged into the semi-transparent world bubble, as long as no one ca to cause trouble, its extinction was no longer sothing to worry about in most cases.
Having arrived on this planet plagued by the disaster known as the "Hollows," Nolan did not head straight into the surviving city.
Instead, he turned his attention to the regions outside New Eridu.
After all, his goal was to eliminate the Ethereals. To maximize efficiency, he would be using large-scale attacks, which would easily cause collateral damage if used within the city.
Releasing his spiritual sense, Nolan scanned the surroundings and casually selected a relatively small Hollow to test things out.
Soon, he arrived at a ruined city several thousand kiloters away from New Eridu.
Most of this city was covered by a black hemispherical do. This was the Hollow itself.
From the information he had gathered while sensing New Eridu, the so-called "Ethereals" were creatures without Ether adaptability that had been transford after being eroded by the Ether inside the Hollows.
The galaxy also had Ether, but based on the properties of the Ether on this planet, it was likely not the sa as the Ether in the galaxy, which was also known as "Imaginary Substance." They simply shared the sa na.
To distinguish between them, Nolan referred to the Ether on this planet as "Hollow Ether," which made things much clearer.
As for Hollow Ether, it generally only existed inside Hollows. As a result, the Ethereals that depended on it for survival could only live within those Hollows.
Outside the Hollows, Ethereals were rarely seen. This was also the reason why humanity on this planet could still barely survive.
If the outside world were just like the inside of the Hollows, filled everywhere with Hollow Ether, then even humans with high Ether adaptability would have long since turned into Ethereals.
The civilization of this planet would have already ceased to exist.
At this mont, Nolan stood outside the Hollow, not entering recklessly. Although there was likely nothing on this planet that could threaten him, it was still better to remain sowhat cautious.
Thus, he directly extended the "Void Star Sea" over it, using it to perceive the situation inside.
As for why he didn't use his spiritual sense, it was mainly because the space within a Hollow was chaotic. Spiritual perception spreading into it could easily be severed.
However, the "Void Star Sea" did not have this problem. As long as sothing was within its coverage, no matter how complex the spatial structure, it could be perceived in complete detail.
Nolan carefully examined it, and soon obtained detailed information about this Hollow.
First, he focused on checking whether there were any survivors or humans exploring inside. Although the probability was low, he couldn't risk accidents due to negligence.
The result was, unfortunately, exactly as expected. There were no survivors or other humans here.
What filled the place were "Ethereals," numbering in the millions of all sizes. Among them were even extrely powerful individuals with levels exceeding 100.
However, when averaged out, their levels were only around 50. After all, compared to powerful individuals, there were naturally far more low-level creatures.
Nolan directly activated Rosaria's Affection Skill. A crown of thorns hovered in the sky, and a barrier rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire Hollow.
Countless ice lances automatically locked onto each Ethereal, then descended upon them in judgnt!
Adventure EXP 1011
Adventure EXP 1232
Adventure EXP 1122
A massive number of EXP notifications flooded his character panel, continuing for over ten minutes before gradually slowing down.
At this point, Nolan checked his panel:
[Adventure EXP: 3,633,656,257]
A total of over 3.63 billion Adventure EXP. He had originally had a little over 20 million, aning that clearing this Hollow alone had earned him approximately 3.61 billion Adventure EXP.
This efficiency was extrely impressive. Clearing two more Hollows of similar scale would be enough to level up!
Taking advantage of the remaining ti, Nolan quickly found two more Hollows and cleared them, gaining tens of billions of Adventure EXP in total.
After erging from the Hollows once again, he looked around. There were still a large number of Hollows scattered across this world.
Suddenly, Nolan felt that even taking ti off to return for a al would be a grave sin!
So he summoned two "Lumine's Sword Gods" to clear the Hollows in his stead. As for why he didn't summon more—
It was mainly because he had already stationed "Lumine's Sword Gods" in many places, such as Teyvat, the Herta Space Station, the Xianzhou Luofu, the Honkai Impact 3rd Earth, Jarilo-VI, and more, using them as teleportation anchors.
Each one required his control. Even when they remained stationary and didn't require much attention, they still occupied part of his focus.
In the short term, summoning dozens or even hundreds posed no issue.
But for long-term summons, they would continuously occupy portions of his attention. Human focus was limited. If he summoned too many avatars and constantly divided his attention among them—
It would begin to affect his ntal state, like trying to eat while playing a ga, where you keep picking up your phone mid-al.
That wasn't a good habit.
In any case, two Sword Gods should be sufficient to clear a large number of Hollows in a short ti. Nolan felt that if he worked through the night, he might even reach level 190!
