Chapter 301: Chapter 195: Dimensional War Fortress_2
Everyone gasped. The Holy Kingdom is actually a war fortress in a different dimension?
“There are not many green dots, there are more red ones. Does red mean they cannot be transported? Why?” Lisa asked curiously.
“Either it’s too far away, or there’s a dimensional barrier. Take the Prime Material Plane as an example. Its dimensional barrier is much thicker than this Holy Kingdom’s. The Holy Kingdom simply can’t get there,” Negris explained.
Lisa asked, “You mean it can’t just hang upside down over our home like it is now? Doesn’t the Resting Abyss have a barrier?”
“Of course not, even approaching can’t be done, not to mention transporting. The Heavenly Ladder can’t transport to very distant locations, so in the history of the Prime Material Plane, you won’t find any records of the Heavenly Stage or Heavenly Arrival. As for whether the Resting Abyss has a barrier? If it had a barrier, it wouldn’t be called an abyss.”
The most significant difference between an abyss and a plane lies in the presence of a barrier. Those with barriers are called planes. Those without are called abysses. No dimensional barriers means it’s a world without defenses, where anyone can come and go as they please, as long as they have a beacon or coordinates.
Why does the Undead Empire build their transit stations in such defenseless abysses? Simply because there’s no barrier.
With barriers, the energy consumed by transportation would be multiplied several times or even dozens of times.
If both dimensions have barriers, then the energy consumption would multiply again. For particularly thick barriers, weak points have to be found, otherwise the teleportation array would need to multiply its energy to penetrate the barrier.
The Undead Empire purposely set up a transit station in a place without a dimensional barrier, allowing people from all major dimensions to come here freely for trade, everyone gets what they need.
The Undead Empire is confident because they are the greatest barrier in this plane.
However, his efforts were destined to be in vain. Suitable for plant growth, every plane definitely has a strong dimensional barrier.
In the following days, Negris kept dragging Ange to try and figure out how to control the whole system, but with the lack of information and instructions, their accomplishments were few. One of the few achievements they made was activating one of the crystal steles.
The Crystal Stele first showed some patterns made up of rays of light. After fluctuating for a while, a crying voice came from the crystal stele, “Supreme Light, please grant me the power to heal everything and save my child.”
The Crystal Stele kept flickering, and finally, some blurry images appeared on the stele. A two-three months old baby was crying loudly. Something had bitten off the baby’s thigh, the wound jagged and bloody.
A pair of rough hands tightly held the baby’s wound, praying tearfully for a miracle to happen.
The image displayed on the stele was from the perspective of the owner of these hands. It was blurry because his eyes were filled with tears.
Buge was just an ordinary villager from a small village. He devoutly worshipped the Gods of Light, prayed earnestly, donated monthly, redeemed his original sin, and prayed for peace for his children and descendants.
Although he had never seen a miracle in his life, from childhood to adulthood, he firmly believed that the Gods of Light would protect him. As long as he was devout enough, the Light would protect his whole family.
Three months ago, his wife gave birth to a daughter, but she died from excessive bleeding during a difficult childbirth, leaving him and his daughter to depend on each other for survival.
The devout Buge did not blame the Gods of Light for not protecting his wife. He only blamed himself for not being devout enough. For his daughter’s health and happy growth, Buge served the gods even more devoutly.
How could he be more devout?
The priest told him that everyone was born with original sin. Because of sin, they were banished from Heaven and needed to redeem the sins on their bodies to return to Heaven.
