Chapter 621: Chapter 25: Complete, Space Domain!
There are no books, no scrolls, no crystals, and no items that look like Magic Items.
This floor resembles a dusty storage box belonging to a child…
Inside, there are some faded, coarse cloth dolls piled chaotically, with crooked stitches, some even missing eyes.
A few pieces of rough cloth clothing, obviously child-sized, washed to a pale color and patched, folded neatly.
Several small wooden carved animals, carved crudely, with smoothed edges. There are also a few dark-colored pebbles, some faded feathers, a few crude drawings on rough grass paper—depicting crooked houses, the sun, and little figures holding hands.
At the top of these items lies a small booklet made from rough bark paper, about the size of a palm. The booklet has no cover, and its edges are severely worn.
Lynch picked up the small bark paper booklet. It feels very light, almost weightless.
He opened the first page with a heart full of doubts.
There were no words, only a charcoal drawing, extremely childish: a crooked little house, two stick figures standing hand in hand at the door, one slightly taller, one shorter. Next to them, a big smiling sun.
Turning to the second page, the drawing style remains childish, but the content changes: a towering building, a little figure standing alone at the foot of the tower, looking up at the tower top, where several menacing black shadowy figures are drawn. The sun is blacked out, with raindrops depicted.
On the third page, the fourth page… The content of the drawings becomes chaotic and dark. Twisted lines, crying figures, burning flames, and some indescribable graffitis representing pain and fear.
Lynch quickly flipped through, reaching the middle of the booklet.
Here, the drawing style suddenly changes, the lines becoming slightly stronger, yet still retaining a childlike touch.
On this page, there is a complex pattern composed of many circles and lines. At the center of the pattern is a giant, pupil-less eye, surrounded by chains. Below the pattern, in an extremely childish, crooked, yet unusually serious handwriting, a line of small words is written:
“The eye of Lascodo, locks up Gri Town. Once I learn how, I will break it!”
Lynch remained silent.
If he guessed correctly, these should be what Nicholas left behind, a part of his memory? His determination?
In any case,
from the contents here, it seems the person once deemed the most heinous criminal in the Wizard World was, at one time, just an ordinary person with a faith in guarding his family.
“Hmm?”
At this point, Lynch seemed to discover something, as if something was sandwiched in the middle of the small booklet.
He opened the pages, soon spotting a small shimmering item in the crevice.
It was…
A ring.
It was just an ordinary ring, not made from any rare material, and no strong Magic Energy is sensed from it, yet strangely, Lynch felt a warm familiarity upon seeing the ring.
He was sure it was his first time seeing it, but it seemed so familiar.
Puzzled, he subconsciously picked up the ring and put it before his eyes, and inside the ring was engraved a line of small letters in the oldest Rune Language:
“The past doesn’t only have to be the past, and the yet to occur can be made not to happen.”
“Someday…”
“I will change it all!”
…
A few days later, at the Guardian Tower, in the laboratory.
In the laboratory, Lynch was finishing up the final tasks for constructing the Space Domain.
He placed the three deep purple crystal shards, sealed with the deepest space mysteries of the Eternal Tower, on the central experiment platform, their internal rotating nebulae appearing profound and alluring under the dim light.
Sitting cross-legged, he submerged his mind into the Sea of Consciousness. Lynch first gathered all his stored space knowledge—from the initial Space Rune framework, folding techniques, to the later comprehensions of Dimension Slash, High-level Instant Teleportation, and insights from observing the Domain of “Kong” regarding Void devouring.
These knowledge fragments floated like stars in the Sea of Consciousness, shimmering with silver and dim light. However, they were not entirely unified; the invisible crack between the framework’s “being” and the void’s “non-being” was still clearly visible.
He picked up the first crystal shard. His spiritual power, like the most precise probe, carefully penetrated into it.
Boom—!
No longer a gentle guide, but a tsunami-like torrent of information! “Space Folding Stabilization Theory and Practice”—innumerable revolutionary formulas, energy node models, and calculations of space tension balance points flooded in instantly!
These theories were abstruse yet led directly to the fundamental logic of space structure, lighting a beacon for Lynch in the previously chaotic sea of space. He saw the minute space structure stress points at the level of rules that he had ignored during past forced integrations, which resulted in severe framework and void conflicts.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the silver Rune Array representing the space framework began to tremble, disassemble, and rearrange fiercely! The old, unstable connections were forcibly broken, while new, deeper space rule-conforming nodes were reconstructed under the torrent of information.
Lynch, like a most meticulous engineer, corrected every corner of the model’s flaws with the knowledge from the Eternal Tower as the blueprint.
Time swiftly flew by.
[Space Domain Skill Level +1…+1…+1…]
The system notifications were like intense drumbeats, the Level 9 state solidifying while subtly advancing.
Next was the second shard—”On the Interaction Relationship between Dimension Anchor Points and Void Tides.” This time, the information was more abstract, explaining how space anchor points maintain existence amidst the vast and turbulent Void “Tides,” and how to skillfully harness this tide power.
Lynch absorbed eagerly. His previous understanding of the “void” leaned more toward devouring and annihilation, as a destructive power.
But now, he saw the grand, regulated, yet destruction-filled aspect of void tides. How the void power representing “nothing” could flow like blood through the space structure network representing “existence” instead of tearing it apart? The knowledge within the crystal offered the crucial bridge!
He guided the core of the Sea of Consciousness, the restless small black dot representing the trait of void devouring. No longer attempting to rudely “weld” it onto the framework runes, he guided it like taming a rebellious river, directing it through specific “channels” in the newly reconstructed, more resilient framework network according to the void tide rules.
The black dot began to differentiate and extend, transforming into intricate deep currents, flowing along and saturating the network of silver Runes. The intense repulsion eased drastically, and a peculiar, mutually nourishing resonance began to sprout.
Time quickly slipped by, second by second.
[Space Domain Skill Level +1…+1…] The Level 9 bottleneck was loosening!
The final crystal—”High-dimensional Space Projection Interference Effect in the Material World.” This touched upon the deeper essence of space.
Lynch felt elevated to a perspective beyond three dimensions, overlooking how space folded and projected in higher dimensions, and how its subtle disturbances evoke extensive ripples in the Material Realm; this brought his understanding of space “existence” to an unprecedented depth.
At this moment, the scenery within the core of the Sea of Consciousness was entirely different! A novel Space Domain model had formed!
The main body was an incomparably precise, stable, and ice-cold silver glimmering three-dimensional Rune network, symbolizing the “structure” and “order” of space. Along every crucial node, every path of energy flow within this network, flowed deep yet much tamer void currents like ink.
They were no longer destroyers but fillers and enhancers, endowing the space framework with unimaginable stamina and annihilation traits. Silver and black, light and dark, “being” and “nothing” reached an unprecedented harmonious coexistence, intertwined, forming a profound, stable, yet terrifyingly powerful whole!
When the time reached a certain point.
