Chapter 1082: Scenery of the Void
“In the Divine Kingdom, transactions under the Holy Light are nothing special; they are just normal transactions, at most using a few small tricks and then paying a little bit of good faith. It’s not worth mentioning.”
“The shadowy underground black markets and hidden transactions are what I want to focus on.”
“When the Divine Kingdom Grand Market was initially unwelcoming to witches, a few bold Betraying Witches came together and birthed a brilliant idea. They treated themselves as commodities and entered the dark underground black market of the Divine Kingdom, auctioning themselves off.”
“From that point onward, the Divine Kingdom Grand Market had a place for witches.”
“?”
I looked at several witches, confused, as they spoke one after another, “What was the process? Did those Betraying Witches carve out a bloody path in the Divine Kingdom Grand Market, opening opportunities for the Witch Race?”
“Oh~ no no no, Xiao Yao, your murderous intent is too heavy. The Divine Kingdom has its order, and witches have their own order too. Witches can be enemies with any Extraordinary Race, but when it comes to the interests of the myriad races in the Void represented by that Grand Market, even witches must consider the impact.”
“Huh? I instinctively looked at the corpse of the Void Beast behind me.
Me? Murderous intent too heavy?
“The Witch Race also needs to develop within the Void~ Naturally, they must adhere to trading rules. However, the Divine Kingdom has its own rules, and the dark places have their own disorder. In the Divine Kingdom, it’s a competition between commodities, which is essentially a clash of interests.”
“In the end, those Betraying Witches used their methods to carve out a possibility for the Witch Race, allowing their commodities to be recognized for their benefits and value in the market of the Divine Kingdom.”
“Uh… what exactly are these commodities?” I pinched my head, uncertain about what they were.
“Military might, the most powerful and inexpensive military might of the Witch Race. This is the first commodity accepted by the market in the Divine Kingdom, even shaking the product properties of those Divine Kingdom birdmen.”
“To demonstrate the quality of this commodity and fulfill the wishes of the original master, the initial Betraying Witch blew up one percent of the dark area in the Divine Kingdom.”
“According to the official statement from the Divine Kingdom Grand Market, the Divine Kingdom openly does not recognize the existence of the dark area, so they cannot hold that Betraying Witch accountable based on this. The disorder in the dark area is established through power and influence, so there’s still a bounty on that Betraying Witch from the dark area, which later spread to a group of Betraying Witches.”
“Ah, so… in the end, it was resolved by military might?” I retorted.
“Although it was military might, it also carried the peculiar wisdom of the Betraying Witches. It was a fantastic advertisement; where there is demand, there will be market. If the Divine Kingdom Grand Market does not accept the commodities of witches, they cannot rely on the order of the Divine Kingdom to constrain our witch activities. The Divine Kingdom Grand Market is a piece of fat meat in the Void, and they must weigh the pros and cons; they also need military power. This was the early stage of witches entering the Divine Kingdom Grand Market, back when the order of the Grand Market was not yet perfected, haha~”
The witches soon shared some insights about the Divine Kingdom Grand Market.
I must say, these insights really opened my eyes!
Especially the witch sister who had bought spices from the Divine Kingdom; she described her own experiences.
And more intriguingly… she was also a Betraying Witch!
She entered the Divine Kingdom Grand Market smuggled in, and not just smuggled into the dark areas; it must be said that this Betraying Witch had real guts.
But I heard she was ultimately expelled from the Divine Kingdom, and many witches laughed contentedly; that’s the standard ending, right?
Although the Divine Kingdom claims to be a free and open Grand Market, they can still delineate guests they will not accept according to the market order, which is referred to as the blacklist.
And in the Void, the Betraying Witch group is at the top!
Although they may not be the ones causing the biggest losses, the tricks they pull are surely a headache for those birdfolk.
Of course, what the previous witch sisters talked about regarding the story of witches entering the Divine Kingdom was just for listening. To achieve such a feat is far from something that can be accomplished with small cleverness. Countless witches contributed to it, and no one knows their efforts, but the ending is something all witches look forward to.
After finishing the discussion about the Divine Kingdom Grand Market, I also mentioned the Abyss.
I understand a bit about this and have some connections to it. From the time I was forced to fill out an application to the Witch Academy, to later Principal Mei mentioning that a kind Abyss lord sent a heart to help me sever the depletion of the Earth Vein in the Dirt World.
Even the current knowledge cultivation being promoted in the Witch Academy is derived from experimental subjects obtained in the Abyss.
This place is also a grand “market” of the Void.
The Abyss is not as chaotic and disorderly as its name suggests… well, it is chaotic and disorderly, powerful, and greedy.
But that’s a world aimed at the weak.
For small worlds, the Abyss seems like a bottomless pit that devours everything; however, this is merely a means for the vast world cluster of the Abyss to add new world clusters. Abyssal assimilation is just a method.
But for powerful Extraordinary Races, the civilization races of the Void Abyss are a large, warm-blooded cradle of life.
What comes out of their market is… life!
Various races, various lives, even custom-made lives, life experiments, and studies on life fusion, etc.
If there are wealthy individuals, they can even spend money to create entirely new life races in the Abyss, cultivate life sequences, and give birth to Primordials!
Of course, this is a project where money goes down the drain. Even the Abyss cannot determine how long it will take to create a Primordial, and they can’t even ascertain what kind of race they are creating; they can only interfere to a certain extent.
The Great Abyss is also a place that witches often visit. Many witches enjoy experiencing succubus customs there; if their methods are remarkable, they can even disguise themselves as a succubus and nurture it into a succubus witch.
Of course, such matters should not be stated plainly. More witches come to the Abyss for its vast life yield, used to build their own slave armies.
Many witches who open up the borders of the Void like to use demon legions as their subsidiary slave armies, clearing out remnants of life in the world as cannon fodder, capturing an entire world.
I must say, the simple conversations have completely opened the door to a new world for me!
This is the first time I have heard of the scenery beyond the Void, and it makes me yearn greatly.
However, the “strength” that the witch sisters often mention makes me understand that what we consider exciting is all built upon strength!
Without strength, one cannot stand at a sufficient height, and naturally cannot appreciate the scenery from above.
This reminds me of an initial question I asked: in the Void, is strength important or knowledge important?
Now the witch sisters have shown me the beauty of the outside world, indicating that strength is important.
But I am not amidst a miserable life in the Void; I am situated in the peaceful Main World.
So, this has shaped me into a little witch interested in knowledge.
Based on knowledge, I forge strong and unknowable means, and only now do I arrive at the answer to this question.
Both are very important; leaning towards either side is incorrect. Complementarity is the most correct approach!
What kind of environment shapes what kind of witch; being obsessed with who is important is already a mistake—steadfastly move forward, conform to the choices of the present, and any path taken is right.
……
The incident that took place in the Void did not cause much of a stir.
It happened so suddenly, and ended just as fast.
Aside from knowing that these were the good deeds of three Extraordinary Races from the Main World, there were no other clues.
However, this experience indeed broadened my horizons.
Whether it’s the immense market of the Divine Kingdom, the cradle of life cultivation in the Abyss, or the wizard alliance formed by the human races of the Void, along with the ancestral land of elves centered around the World Tree.
All of these are places within the Void that one could easily inquire about.
The Void more so hosts “peculiar places” without specific racial affiliations.
These are not world clusters centered around worlds; rather, they are bizarre places that exist directly in the Void. The existences there are no longer limited to planetary forms; some areas are vast expanses of land.
In some places, special conditions in the Void cause the flow of time to be distorted.
There are also areas where extraordinary power is completely banned, making it an ordinary area.
In some areas, space becomes chaotic, with countless spaces overlapping together, constantly intertwining the material space.
And in the Void, there exists a significantly large quantity of… planets.
That’s right, the planets present within worlds are everywhere in the Void!
Theoretically, such material aggregates that make up planets cannot exist in the Void. Any matter that departs from the rules of spatial material will be disassembled into the most basic units of material energy by the Void itself, appropriated by the Void, and then become nourishment for new worlds.
Thus, the planets in the Void are composed of… World Origin Fragments.
Indeed, one of the three fundamental elements that constitute a world: World Origin Fragments.
The stable matter that I researched but gained no insights from; it can evolve the material of the world but can only be transformed by the world itself.
Each planet in the Void is a “remains” of a dead world after the world’s consciousness perished, where World Origin Fragments constitute the most basic form of planets but lack the world’s consciousness to enact evolutionary creation.
Therefore, every planet in the Void is a “remnant” left by a deceased world.
And extraordinary powerhouses utilize these Void planets a second time; only the world itself can utilize World Origin Fragments. This is both a disadvantage and an advantage; at least the planets composed of World Origin Fragments are extremely stable!
Hence, these planets have formed “watching stars” that delve deep into the front lines of the Void outside of world clusters!
They can also be resting places for publicly accessible Void domains, and even short-distance anchoring coordinates for spatial teleportation between world clusters within the Void.
Their utility is vast and manifold.
And in the Void territory where the Main World is located, no world has been born, so naturally, there are no planets formed from World Origin Fragments.
Although it is a pity, it also makes the Main World quite safe in the Void.
The Void is unable to execute long-distance spatial teleportation; the instability of the Void is absolute. The teleportation techniques of Fa Mu cannot achieve stable positioning within the Void, so reaching the Main World has a high threshold.
Such an expansive “Void Abyss” without intermediate planetary anchors blocks many lives.
This also results in this section of the Void having very few wandering lives, yet the insurrection in the Verdant Forest world is clearly a deliberate maneuver.
Nevertheless, it is evident that some extraordinary races can arrive here rather easily, such as witches, birdfolk, elves, wizards, and so forth.
The experiences and hearsay shared by the Life Clone are temporarily concluded, but those witch sisters also plan to rest in the small world of the Verdant Forest for a while.
They even inquired if I needed to borrow their strength to accelerate the collision between this world and the Main World, which I ultimately declined.
After all, once accelerated, the development of many things would need to change accordingly.
There are not many days left until the end of this semester in the Main World, and the outside world is busy with matters related to the college entrance examination.
This matter is truly important, as it relates to each generation’s sources of student enrollments.
Moreover, the Witch Academy has eliminated Dayrock Academy and Blood Slave Academy, so those worlds naturally require the Witch Academy’s assistance to maintain the fairness of the examination.
The ordinary people of this world are already living in dire straits; if even the opportunity to change their lives is lost due to such circumstances, it would be utterly tragic.
Thus, the Union Society began to reorganize after the termination of the Blood Clan affiliate academy’s defeat contract ceremony, ceasing large-scale war mobilization.
Whether it’s the development of the Dayrock territory or the ceding of territory between the Blood Slave Peninsula and the Blood Clan affiliate academy, all of it exists as an undeveloped blue ocean.
These are sufficient for the Union Society to plan for the future.
As for me, I shall continue to do my own business. Regarding the issue of opening the second battlefield, I will leave it entirely to Clelan to plan, as I trust her abilities.
As for the world of the Verdant Forest, I calculate that I will let Clelan announce this second battlefield plan after the college entrance examination ends, at the start of the holiday period. After all, such an important matter would appear somewhat chaotic if I were to undertake it alone without the full cooperation of the Union Society.
Regarding whether this information will leak out?
There is absolutely no problem; this is a conspiracy without any countermeasures.
That’s an entire world!
The last clash of an entire world against the Main World shaped the Expanding Realm, and this time around, without the support of world-repairing techniques, it will only integrate into the core realm of the Main World in the most direct manner.
Such immense interests, removing the interference of Extraordinary Mentors, the students will undoubtedly find it impossible to resist such a pure temptation of benefit.
By that time, any changes will exceed the planned expectations, so the Union Society can only stir up the waters of the Main World in such a situation, so as to take advantage of the murky waters.
