Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 690 The Path of the Void
"Forehead……"

Upon hearing Aluga's words, Li Miao and Shang An exchanged a glance.

It feels a bit strange coming from the mouth of the hero Alucard.

However, when they thought about how long the other party had been trapped in the Long Night Divine Realm in this state due to the extinction of time, they understood a little.

In such a situation, it's already quite good if one doesn't suffer a mental breakdown.

"Speaking of the first half of the Long Night Divine Realm, weren't there some trial participants who weren't affected by the time loop? Why don't you go find them?"

Li Miao asked.

"The first half of the bridge is completely different from the second half."

"I can't get over there, and they probably can't get in either."

Aluga the Hero said that otherwise, the two of them would likely have encountered him in the first half of the Long Night God Realm.

Upon hearing this, the two stopped listening to anything else.

Next, they would travel to the place where the hero Aluga died to find that despicable trial-taker.

Soon, they arrived at a cliff.

Strangely, the magnificent palace they had seen floating in the air earlier had vanished, as if deliberately hidden away by the long night.

But it has four very bright purple stars, emitting a mysterious purple light.

"This……"

"Holy crap, where's the way?"

They were astonished when they reached the shore.

Below was a pitch-black void; if you fell, you had no idea how long you would be in freefall.

Aluga, however, remained calm and pointed to the distant night: "Do you see the stars in the distance?"

“By staring at it and overcoming the fear in your heart, you can tread through the long night and head towards where it is.”

Li Miao and his companion were immediately shocked.

"What the hell?"

"You mean, just walk towards that ball of fire in the distance? Stepping on this void?"

"No way, there's clearly nothing here!"

He was shocked when he got ashore. He wasn't stupid, though. He reached the edge and stretched out his hands and feet to test it.

But no matter how he tried, he couldn't find anything that could be called a "path".

Hearing this, Alucard sighed.

"The more you care about this endless abyss, the more it exists."

"Of course, it sounds easy, but it's not an easy thing to do. Countless trainees have already fallen into the abyss."

"That's why the trialers and raiders in those oases stopped in their tracks."

"I can't help you either; the rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Miao immediately frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he asked.

"Can't we just fly there?"

Alluga shook his head: "The more you believe that the road does not exist, the further away the land of stars will be from you, until you lose your strength and fall into endless darkness."

The two of them suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

What kind of idealistic path is this?

After struggling for a long time after getting ashore, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Then how did you get here, Hero Alucard?"

“It floated over,” Aluga replied. “After all, I’m a spirit now.”

"..."

That makes a lot of sense...

The two men's lips twitched, and they immediately found themselves in a predicament on the edge of the cliff.

"Brother Miao...why don't you go up and try first?" he asked tentatively after coming ashore.

"Why aren't you going?" Li Miao glanced at him sideways.

"I'm afraid of heights!"

"What are you scared of!"

"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we just going to stay here?"

He shrugged as he came ashore.

Li Miao hesitated for a moment, then looked in another direction: "How about... we look for other routes first?" "Agreed."

They nodded upon reaching the shore, a rare instance where the two reached a consensus.

The hero Alucard watched silently without saying a word.

After some time, the two, who had gone around in circles, quickly returned to where they started.

Sure enough, even after digging three feet into the ground, they couldn't find any other way.

The only discovery was a stone tablet used as a reminder.

"Gaze at the stars, with a single-minded focus."

They also did not overlook the NPCs at other campfires in the oasis.

But after a brief conversation, the answer they received was basically the same as what the hero Aluga had said.

The other trial participants also knew this, but they just couldn't get over their mental hurdle, which is why they stayed here.

This proves that what Aluga the Hero said was indeed true.

"Damn it, if I fall from here, I'll definitely die. My Radiant Body, which I just obtained not long ago, will be gone!"

I was extremely depressed after getting ashore.

Li Miao also remained silent.

It must be said that the appearance of the Shattered Body has indeed greatly reduced the difficulty of their exploration path.

However, their physical limitations also brought them psychological constraints.

After all, both the Shattered Body and the recently emerged Radiant Body are extremely difficult and costly to obtain.

But the effect weakens with each death.

This forces players with fragile bodies to abandon their previous indifference to death and become more cautious.

of course.

Their psychological burden is certainly not as great as that of native life.

After all, their deaths only result in a slight drop in stats, but if the native life forms are gone, then they are truly dead.

The chill of the long night is no joke.

"call--"

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Miao exhaled and then his eyes hardened.

"Forget it! The worst that can happen is I'll just die once!"

"I'm on it!"

After adjusting his mindset, Li Miao quickly cleared his cluttered thoughts, stared intently at the purple star in front of him, and then took his first step on the edge of the cliff.

Hey.

The sound of boots stepping on the hard ground could be clearly heard.

Li Miao was overjoyed, and his thoughts began to wander involuntarily, but soon he felt a sudden softness under his feet.

He felt a sudden panic, and the already soft, invisible ground beneath his feet began to become even more unstable.

'No! I can't let my mind wander!'

Fortunately, Li Miao reacted quickly, forcibly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, calming his emotions, looking at the purple star in the distance again, and then taking a solid second step.

at last.

His steps began to steady as he slowly walked into the distance.

"what?"

Upon reaching the shore and seeing this, his eyes nearly popped out of his head in astonishment. This actually worked?!

"Damn, I'm going too!"

Seeing that his good brother was actually walking ahead, his stubbornness to get ashore came over him, and he gritted his teeth and followed suit, stepping into the void.

But he instinctively closed his eyes.

This caused him to feel a strong sense of imbalance as soon as he took his first step, and then his body fell directly downwards.

"Oh dear! Ah—"

The scream that rang out as the person landed startled everyone in front of them.

His thoughts were disrupted, and his originally firm resolve began to waver, causing his legs to weaken once again.

"what--"

A moment later, he screamed and fell to the ground...
