Natural God's Gift
#341 - Crossing the Divine Barrier
After receiving Si Ye's affirmative reply, they passed through the Star Voyage Channel and arrived at the Fang Country Continent.
Subsequently, they did not stop, but continued eastward, spending a month traversing the entire Myriad Country Continent, arriving at the divine power barrier on the other side.
Standing on a mountain peak, Si Ye and the Ginkgo Spider King looked up at the divine power barrier that stretched between heaven and earth, occupying their entire field of vision.
Even after seeing it hundreds of times, they were still amazed by the power of the Natural True God.
They walked to the front of the divine power barrier, walking along it, trying to find a suitable location to enter.
The area isolated by the divine power barrier here was not the sea, but normal land.
As for land, everyone understands that its appearance is diverse.
The divine power barrier on the Myriad Country Continent, from the far north to the equator, has various terrains such as hills, plains, and peaks, lakes, and so on along its path.
The Ginkgo Spider King walked in front, explaining the experience summarized by the predecessors after entering and exiting the divine power barrier to Si Ye: "When entering the divine power barrier, your vision will be severely disturbed. If you encounter mountains or rivers, be sure to stay away."
"Rivers also need to be avoided? Can't you follow the river's flow to exit the divine power barrier?"
"No," the Ginkgo Spider King said solemnly, "Within the divine power barrier, not only is the original energy chaotic and disordered, but even the astral rules are chaotic and abnormal."
"Inside the divine power barrier, water may flow upwards, or towards the abyss, soil may float in the air, trees may even grow downwards, flames may form lakes like water, and gales and thunder may appear from anywhere.
Remember, inside, you cannot trust any external force except your own eight legs."
"Wow, is it that strange?"
"So you must be extremely careful with every step you take. If you encounter a hill, retreat immediately, because you can easily lose your direction on the hill."
"Understood." Si Ye said confidently, "Ginkgo Spider King, don't worry, it's just a divine power barrier of about twenty kilometers. Maybe I can go straight through in a day."
"I even feel like I don't need to prepare so much original energy food." After experiencing the feeling in the divine power barrier on the edge of the Fang Country Continent, Si Ye was full of confidence at this moment.
The Ginkgo Spider King said, "It would be best if you could cross the divine power barrier in one day."
"As for why I asked you to prepare so much original energy food, it's not just for crossing the divine power barrier. You need to know that we don't know what the situation is on the Zhi Bai Continent. If possible, I would like you to explore it over there as well."
As they spoke, they found a plain area, preparing to enter from this direction. Although the plain area was empty and had no reference objects, it was the most suitable direction to enter, considering that all reference objects might appear abnormal.
Si Ye unloaded the original energy food from its carapace, preparing to scout the way first.
It created a stone pillar, drew a spider silk from its abdomen, tied it to the stone pillar, and then said to the Ginkgo Spider King: "Ginkgo Spider King, I'm going in first."
Ginkgo Spider King: "Inside, you won't know day or night, time is chaotic, remember to record the length of your spider silk, and come out when you feel it's about right."
"Got it!"
Si Ye pulled the spider silk thread and formally entered the divine power barrier.
The surface of the divine power barrier was like being wrapped in a layer of bubbles, and it walked in very easily.
Entering the divine power barrier, the familiar phantom-colored mist immediately covered its eight eyes, severely hindering its vision. Its vision could only see a range of two or three meters around it, and its mental power was severely compressed.
At this moment, it was no different from a blind person. More importantly, it didn't have a starship to rely on now. The only thing it could rely on was the thin spider silk drawn from its abdomen.
It was like a bug that can't swim falling into the water, with only a piece of wood to rely on, which would give the bug a deep sense of helplessness from the bottom of its heart.
Si Ye wrapped the spider silk thread around a stone to fix its position, and then groped forward little by little.
Its body size had reached five meters, and a visual range of two or three meters couldn't see anything at all, so it could only move forward by feeling.
For intelligent life, when they go to a place, they first determine the location, and then constantly adjust the position on the way forward. If they close their eyes, it is easy to go astray.
At this moment, it never felt that vision was so important to insect warriors. Perhaps this was the inferiority of intelligent life. Many things are only cherished when they are lost.
It pulled some spider silk and simply closed its eyes, moving forward in the plain with its mental power and intuition.
Fortunately, it found that on this plain, perhaps because the light was relatively scarce, no tall trees had grown, and its groping was fairly smooth.
According to Si Ye's estimation, the thickness of the divine power barrier should be about 20 kilometers. If it was lucky, it might be able to cross the divine power barrier in one day, and even if it went astray, it could get out of this area within three days.
However, this was only in the case of no accidents and everything going smoothly.
Under the boundless phantom mist, it closed all the breathing holes on its body and walked forward with its head down.
Just as it was thinking about not having any accidents, an accident soon occurred.
When it was walking forward with its head down, it almost stepped into a pool of water.
It used its limited vision to observe the range of the pool, but it was all in vain. A line of sight of two or three meters could not detect anything.
How big is this puddle? Is it a small pond, or a small stream? Or a large lake? Is it a big river? It couldn't be sure?
Which direction is the water flowing here? Up, down? Left? Or right? It didn't know either.
Take a detour? Then how big of a range should it detour? Would it be able to find the original direction of travel by then?
At this moment, it discovered the first problem with walking in this kind of place. As long as a tree or a puddle blocked the way, it would be likely to change its original direction of travel with just a slight movement.
After thinking about it, it directly put its forefoot in the water, manipulated the water flow to condense into a water ball, wanting to see how big the range of this puddle was.
However, it also discovered the second problem. Insect warriors rely on mental power to control the elements, and its current mental power was compressed to the extreme, and it couldn't even condense a large water ball.
What to do? Si Ye hesitated.
It put its forefoot in the water, using touch and experience to judge whether it was a lake or a river when its mental power was not enough.
The range of water flow vibration was not large, and the flow rate of the river was very fast. It guessed that this should be a lake.
It originally wanted to go out, but who knew how big this lake was, and how much range it occupied? Rather than walking around the lake,
It's better to go out and find a place to re-enter.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it decided to explore the range of this puddle. It couldn't just quit when it encountered setbacks, right?
Using its old method, it tied a strand of silk to a makeshift stone pillar for positioning, and walked around the edge of the water pit, pulling the silk along. It created a stone pillar every so often, allowing it to roughly estimate the circumference of the water pit.
It walked around the water's edge and stopped when it reached the silk thread that had originally stood on the bank.
It sensed that the water pit wasn't very large, with a circumference of only about five kilometers. Calling it a pond would be more appropriate. In the outside world, it could easily cross it.
However, inside here, because the pond's shape was irregular, it was difficult to find a direction within it.
It slowly retreated along the original path, following the silk thread it had laid down.
After a while, it walked out of the range of the divine power barrier again.
"Siyue, what's wrong? Why did you come out so quickly?" The Ginkgo Spider King, waiting outside the divine power barrier, was very surprised, not expecting Siyue to retreat so quickly.
Siyue opened the pores that had been closed within the divine power barrier, greedily absorbing the natural primal force.
Its tone was somewhat solemn as it said, "I didn't go far before encountering a large pond. The range of my mental awareness is limited, and I might not be able to find the correct path after crossing the pond."
Siyue continued, "So I came to ask you if you have any good suggestions?"
The Ginkgo Spider King pondered carefully and asked, "Since you've already come out, why not choose another location to enter and avoid that pond?"
"Avoiding the pond isn't the problem, but considering the Ten Thousand Races Continent and the Myriad Kingdoms Continent, the thickness of the divine power barrier is at least twenty kilometers. Encountering a pond, a hill, or even a tree along the way could make the direction of travel uncertain. How should we solve that?"
Hearing Siyue's words, the Ginkgo Spider King also began to think. Trees could be cut down directly, and hills could be tunneled through, but what about lakes? Freeze them? What would happen when they thawed?
The Ginkgo Spider King said, "Siyue, why don't you try entering from a different location first and see how far you can go this time?"
"Alright," it wasn't a solution to just stand here, it would be better to enter the divine power barrier and explore more of the area.
The Ginkgo Spider King said, "Since simple methods are difficult to use, let's use a clumsy method. When encountering obstacles, simply detour to the right. It's only twenty kilometers, I don't believe we can't get through it."
The three major difficulties of crossing the divine power barrier, the most troublesome one had now been solved, and the third one didn't need to be considered for now, leaving only the simplest problem. It didn't believe it couldn't handle it!
"Okay, I'll try this method." Siyue also felt that this suggestion was quite reasonable.
After thinking for a moment, it picked up a few pieces of dried meat it had prepared earlier. There was no concept of time within the divine power barrier, and it could use eating the dried meat to calculate time.
It would eat a piece when it was hungry, and by the time it finished eating, it would know roughly how much time had passed, and then it could return.
It changed its location and entered the divine power barrier again. This time, it still used the silk thread as a connection to the outside world, but this time it was much bolder, no longer walking cautiously, but striding forward on its eight spider legs.
When it encountered hills or trees on the way, it directly climbed over the hills and uprooted the trees.
Gusts of wind occasionally blew within the divine power barrier, and flashes of lightning appeared intermittently, but Siyue didn't care. It quickly walked forward, only avoiding bodies of water because it couldn't be sure of its direction.
It ate some dried meat when it was hungry and condensed some dew to drink when it was thirsty.
However, the more it walked, the more it felt that something was wrong. To wrap the silk thread, it made a stone pillar every so often.
But the distance it had traveled was estimated to be more than thirty kilometers, yet it still hadn't seen any signs of walking out of the divine power barrier.
"Could it be that I've gone astray?" Siyue was somewhat suspicious. If the divine power barrier was really only twenty kilometers, it would have been able to walk through it by now.
But if it had really gone astray, then the length of the divine power barrier might encompass the entire Star Realm, and it wouldn't be able to walk out even if it walked until the end of time.
However, thinking of the plan it had made earlier, it couldn't care so much and continued to walk with its head down.
After walking more than ten kilometers, Siyue encountered a river, forcing it to turn back and then adjust its route to continue walking.
The fact proved that Siyue had indeed thought too well. It originally thought that the mere 20 kilometers of the divine power barrier could be crossed in a day or even half a day.
As a result, it didn't expect that it had walked continuously for more than a week, adjusted its route countless times, but was still restricted to the edge of the divine power barrier near the Myriad Kingdoms Continent.
However, its numerous explorations were not without gains. With its repeated adjustments of angles, it left countless silk threads, and these silk threads eliminated the wrong answers, which also meant that it was getting closer and closer to the correct answer.
More than a week later, after eating and drinking its fill outside the divine power barrier, Siyue once again entered the divine power barrier to explore the path.
It walked along the original route, and every 500 meters it traveled, it made a mark.
If the distance traveled exceeded forty kilometers, it would leave the silk thread it had been carrying and return along the original path.
When it set off again, it would selectively increase the angle on the original route slightly. In this way, the route it had traveled would unfold in a fan-shaped angle, unless the range of the divine power barrier far exceeded 40 kilometers, it would definitely be able to break through the barrier limit.
In the absence of other options, using this clumsy method could also be considered a solution.
This time, it continued to grope along the route it had traveled before, and there were already many silk threads and stone pillars that it had marked along the way.
Relying on these stone pillars and silk threads, it eliminated one wrong answer after another.
It believed that it should be able to find the correct route soon.
This time the situation was the same. Just as Siyue had walked nearly 40 kilometers without success, and was preparing to make a mark and go back to continue screening the route, it suddenly felt a lightness in the primal energy around it.
It turned out that it had silently crossed the heavy divine power barrier and arrived at the neighboring continent.
"Is this the Zhibo Continent?" Siyue looked at the surrounding environment, its heart filled with joy.
On the vast plain, there was an endless expanse of green, cattle and sheep quietly grazed, and herds of wild horses galloped across the grassland.
Siyue took a deep breath of the air here and didn't feel any difficulty breathing or a lack of primal force. In fact, the concentration of primal force in the air here was even a few points higher than that of the Myriad Kingdoms Continent.
Siyue's eight eyes revealed a strong sense of joy. The Ginkgo Spider King and the others were right, the Zhibo Continent also had primal force.
