Four hundred years ago, in an era before the Federation or the Empire had co into being, even before there was a division between the North Land, Central Earth, and the Southern Continent, the world was united under the rule of a nation that was hailed as the Eternal Empire.
It was the Golden Age as described in any mythology, when the Earth was as fertile as Heaven, and the firmant stretched as vast and high as a celestial do, free from natural disasters, mutants, or various upheavals.
All things thrived, basking in the glory of the Empire, dedicating their insignificant contributions to the Eternal Central Empire from birth until death.
Ti seed eternal and unending.
It was during this ti that the Non-attack Matrix was born out of the heart of the Empire... amidst its greatest peril!
Beneath the grand brilliance of the Empire, there existed an insignificant shadow.
An organization whose sole objective from its inception was to relentlessly attack all imperial organizations and institutions, a radical resistance force bent on the complete dissolution of the Eternal Empire.
Its earliest origins lay with a group of Alchemy Craftsn who had had enough of the Empire's myriad legal restraints, unwilling to sing praises within a fixed scope, seeking instead the freedom to research their crafts and create...
And the banner they raised stood in direct opposition to the pure white revered by the Empire.
Thus, they were called "Mo."
From the middle to the end of the Empire, and continuing even after its demise, this organization cast its shadow behind many significant events, or were directly responsible for inciting them.
By the start of the Disaster Era, the last traces of the Eternal Empire disappeared with the collapse and fragntation of the continents, and the existence of Mo gradually faded from history. So say that the terrorist organization Nirvana, currently most wanted by both the Empire and the Federation, is the poisonous legacy they left behind...
And whether it was cruel irony or the creator's deliberate design, the two major Heavenly Person Matrices passed down by these rebellious Mo, bearing the nas of "Universal Love" and "Non-attack."
One combined the essences of Ascension and Heart Core—the highest virtues—capable of uniting thousands with a bond both impregnable and indivisible, growing more terrifying in power as more people used it.
The other was the crystallized effort of crafters walking the Embers Path; it was capable of extending into various Paths of Superior under the will and needs of the user, acquiring different Superior Blessings with a terrifying capacity for inclusion.
For a Chosen Summoner like Ji Jue, resonating with nine Superiors at the sa ti, it was as if heaven and earth had tailored it just for him!
So here cos the question.
Daring to delve into a realm as perilous as the Crack Realm with his newbie rank, can he keep his head intact? And how can Professor Ye be so certain that the Non-attack Matrix definitely exists there?
The contemporary world can be called stable but is incomplete.
To this day, nurous shards of other worlds remain detached, pulsating like bubbles in water. Since they operate autonomously from the current world, their rules, conditions, and internal ecosystems often differ greatly from those of the present world.
They could be Hell or Paradise, and so may even retain their original state from the ti of the fracture.
These fragnts drift continuously around the current world, mostly maintaining a distance like satellites. Occasionally they overlap with the current world, forming gateways or passages.
The majority of controllable Crack Realms are precious resources, controlled and managed by various powers. For instance, the Taiyi Ring, by monopolizing various Crack Realms, dominates the production of contemporary alchemy materials, making money hand over fist, and even the slightest leakage would indicate imnse wealth.
Moreover, in such detached places, not only is the sensing of Superiors clearer and Superior Blessings easier to obtain, but also preserved are materials and treasures that appear only in special environnts... or mutant monsters!
According to observers of the Ether Path, a Crack Realm on the verge of collapse and nearing the contemporary world is in its dying days and won't last much longer. Moreover, it cannot withstand entry by Chosen Ones beyond the Transcend Rank, even those of Rebirth Rank are repelled.
Only Chosen Ones below the Transformation Rank can pass smoothly.
In short, it's an event limited to under Rank 6, lasting no more than two weeks!
To participate is to earn!
It is the perfect developnt paradise for a newbie like Ji Jue!
And more importantly, according to information from a broker at Desert Market—while externally observing the Crack Realm, they discovered a mark that is suspected to belong to 'rcury,' a Saint from the final period of the Eternal Empire hundreds of years ago.
It is highly likely that this particular Crack Realm is the domain of that Grandmaster, and it might even hold his workshop!
Any Chosen One who could be called a Saint certainly stands above the Heavenly People. And to hold such a title is to be a master craftsman in his own right, one who has completed his own Heavenly Destiny, and distilled a unique Creation Theory.
It is precisely because she received this news first that a master like Kong Qingyan was so anxiously impatient, bringing her own students to rush to Cliff City.
She was even willing to compromise her reputation by covertly probing Professor Ye.
In truth, she may have achieved her purpose the mont she stepped through the door—she had confird that Professor Ye indeed had not received the ssage, nor had made any preparations. Even if the ssage was received later, it would still be a step behind her own... The only thing she hadn't anticipated was that Professor Ye's magnanimity was narrower than she thought, with a sense of the dark intentions of her opponents that was frighteningly keen.
