There was no heaven or earth, and there was nothing on all sides, only a deep darkness.

No, it's not darkness, it's just that there's no light, and here, not even the concept of darkness exists, only a real nothingness. Vision has lost its meaning here, and the only thing worth thanking is that the people around you are still close to you, shoulder to shoulder, facing an unknown world.

There is no sound either, I don't know if it is because there is no medium, sound has lost its carrier of transmission, or because the concept of sound has been completely erased by this disordered world, and all I hear in my ears is the sound of heartbeat and blood flowing, monotonous, boring, and unchanging, and it sounds more like a torture.

There was no smell, no touch, nothing here, and Shure and Moria, hovering in the air in an almost floating form, without any support points, looked eerily eerie.

There is no doubt that this is the Great Rift, the most mysterious and terrifying corner of the Twisted Void, the end of thousands of worlds.

Obviously, there is no ground under their feet, and it seems to be levitating, but the two of them have been making walking movements, as if they can really move forward in this way, of course, there is no reference in the void space, and there is no distance, whether these movements can make them move forward, I'm afraid only they know.

In fact, they can, they know that they are indeed advancing, because as a warrior, their way of perceiving the world is not only the five senses, but also the perception of energy, when the other five senses are all cut off, the perception of energy is particularly obvious, they clearly feel that a passage paved by the power of faith is stretched out under their feet into the distance, and the two of them step on the avenue of faith all the way forward.

Since entering the Great Rift, it has taken a lot of time for the two of them to learn how to move forward in this space. The rift movement was not a problem for the two gods, but it was a hassle for the two mortals, Shure and Moria, and it was an unexpected trouble, who would have thought that the act of 'walking', which had been instinctive for as long as he could remember, would become so embarrassing. It's not even as good as being in the water, at least there's something in the water that can be used to swim, but here there's no air, and you can't borrow it, but for some reason you can hover in the air.

Theoretically speaking, after all, the two of them are surrounded by the power of the gods, and if they are willing, they can completely entrust the task of moving forward to the gods to complete, but Shure insists on learning the way to act in the rift space by himself, in his words, he can't even do such basic things as 'walking', and what to talk about exploring the inside of the rift, if they let the gods do everything, then the two of them will completely lose the meaning of existence, even if they are replaced by two dogs.

As a result, the two spent a lot of time learning to walk again, which is not a simple matter, after all, it is difficult for people who have never had experience to understand what it means to move forward with consciousness.

Yes, Anika conveyed her mind through Moria, that she wanted to move here, not by movement and mechanics, but by consciousness, and when your consciousness is convinced that you are moving, you are already moving, and if your consciousness denies the perception that you are moving, then no matter how much you struggle, you will not be able to move.

This is not a simple self-deception, but a radical change in one's own perception, putting aside common sense and preconceived notions, and convincing oneself that the will can indeed move oneself. For the vast majority of people, this is almost an impossible task, after all, the solidified thinking accumulated over decades is not so easy to change, fortunately, Shur is a priest, and Moriah is the heir of the gods, both of them have been in contact with the gods for a long time, and they understand the power of the will, so after countless failures, Moria learned to move the rift first, and soon after, Shure can also move freely.

When the Faith Passage that served as a coordinate and the first displacement between the two of them, the two looked at each other and smiled at the same time, perhaps it seemed that it was just a simple matter of learning to walk again, but switching to the interior of the rift space meant that the intelligent creatures of Pavatiga had taken the first step to conquer the Great Rift.

But this is only the first step, because with it, it will be a long and boring journey.

In an unchanging environment, repeating the same behavior over and over again, although the five senses are not broken, they are compressed to a very small range, and there is no novelty in the places that pass, I don't know how large the scope of exploration of Lord Anika's will is, maybe there will be some fresh changes, but the scope of exploration of the two of them is only a little bit, and there is nothing but nothingness.

Such an environment can almost be described as terrifying, ordinary people may not be able to hold on for even a few minutes, not to mention anything else, just this silence, just the sound of their own blood flowing, is enough to drive ninety percent of people crazy, that is, Shure and Moria's minds are resolute enough, holding on to a peace in the depths of their hearts, plus each other's existence is a kind of mutual encouragement, so they did not fall into a crazy situation, but even so, as they gradually deepened, the two became more and more numb, although they still held hands and stood shoulder to shoulder, but they had lost the interest in communicating with their eyes and thoughts, and focused all their energy on moving, I just hope to encounter some unexpected changes sooner.

It's not to reach the destination, it's not to find the mission goal, the pursuit of the two has been reduced to the point where they can be satisfied as long as there are any changes, which shows how much pressure the environment in the rift brings to the two, after all, the time that the two stay in the rift is so long that they can't judge.

Yes, they don't know how long they've been here, they don't need to breathe, they don't need to eat, they still get hungry, they still get hungry, it's just a natural reaction of the stomach, the body doesn't lack energy to be disturbed, eating is meaningless except wasting time and adding some trouble, therefore, the two of them haven't eaten, and they can't even judge the time by the number of hungers.

In such cases, people often have the illusion of time, sometimes only a moment has passed, and it feels like decades have passed, but sometimes it is the opposite, and it is impossible to judge. The timer brought from Pavatiga, although it is also protected by the power of the gods, has lost its effect for some reason, the hands of the timer are constantly swinging back and forth, just refusing to stop to indicate the time, of course, after seeing the strange swing, even if it stops to indicate, Shul can't believe it, therefore, the two have completely lost the ability to judge time, and can only act by feeling.

Anika had told the two that in fact, time had not passed long, and it had only been ten days since the two of them entered. Well, to put it mildly, as if it were not worth mentioning at all, however...... For the gods who can stay awake for thousands of years, it is indeed nothing to act continuously for more than ten days, but for ordinary mortals, it is unimaginable, even if there is the support of divine power, so that the body will not be damaged, but the mental wear and tear cannot be recovered by divine power, no wonder the two feel that the more they advance, the more energy is poor, and the consumption of more than ten days is indeed beyond the limit of mortals.

"So, I'll give you two news and cheer you up. ”

Anika's voice suddenly sounded around the two of them, and this was the first time since entering the rift space that a sound source from the outside world had been received from the outside world. The sudden sound made the two of them feel as if a thunder sounded in their ears, and even the eardrum was stimulated by the sound to produce a slight tingling sensation, as if it might tear at any time.

The two of them couldn't understand how Anika made the two of them hear the voice, maybe it was a small area that affected the rules of the surroundings, maybe it was in some special way, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that this voice from the gods was the fresh change that the two of them were striving for, and Lord Anika didn't know, in fact, she didn't need to announce any news at all, as long as she was often so frightening, it was enough to lift the spirits of the two.

"Why, you've found yourself?" Shure opened her mouth to tease, but found that she still couldn't speak, but Anika could clearly understand what Shul was trying to say, well, from the volume she deliberately raised in Shule's ear.

"No, I didn't find any clues. Anika didn't show much disappointment, and did not shy away from talking about the futility of the search work, but the next moment, the news she said made Shure's eyes light up, and even the corners of her mouth curled up a little, "However, I have just discovered an opening to other worlds, although the scope of the rift has expanded to an uncontrollable extent, it does not seem to affect the civilization within the world, at least not all, from the other side, Luna and I can still sense the breath of intelligent beings." ”

"What a ......," Shur asked, not knowing how to express his surprise anymore, "can you judge the situation inside, is there a god present?"

"The rules in it are more biased towards Pavatiga, suitable for the development of magical civilization, there is indeed the power of faith in it, but no gods have been born yet, so looking at it this way, the history of civilization should not be long. Anika said leisurely, "Judging from the current situation, under the threat of the Great Rift, as long as it is slightly affected, a large number of believers can be gathered, I don't know how many intelligent beings there are, I hope the number will not be too small." Luna is still observing, but remember your promise, a third. ”

"Oh, of course, a third. Shul squinted his eyes and smiled, what an unexpected gain, after the previous secret conversation, Shul believed that Luna knew what to do, so he didn't ask, just smiled and asked with consciousness, "What about the second news?"

"Congratulations, Luna said, you're halfway through the Faith Path, oh, it's worth cheering. ”

"Not at all, thank you. ”
