Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 315 The Realm of Emptiness
After the first round of 450 days of exchange ended, Xu Feng confirmed that the main god regarded the two children, who were conceived entirely within the cycle of reincarnation, as natives of the cycle of reincarnation.

"If one is strong enough, staying in a magical world where one can live forever is not a bad choice."

Xu Feng squatted in front of two babies who were learning to crawl.

The older sister, Xu Yue, is extraordinary. At only four months old, she can already speak and crawls at a speed comparable to an adult walking. The younger brother, Xu Hui, looks normal, but his physical abilities also surpass those of his peers, comparable to those of a six- or seven-month-old baby.

"The flow of time in the story world relative to the God Space is related to the time and number of times a reincarnator exchanges in that world... No matter how long I spend in the story world, it is only a moment in the God Space. After such a scene occurs many times, a certain inertia will be generated, making the flow of time in the story world relative to the God Space very fast."

"The reward points from team battles, plus the extra rewards I get upon returning, should allow me to stay in this world for about ten years. Due to the flow of time, the nine days in the God's Space are roughly equivalent to five to ten years in this world, which is more than I expected."

"Based on this calculation, the pace of the War of the Rings should be slowed down."

Xu Feng revised his original plan in his mind.

He gathered intelligence on the Central Continent and planned to take advantage of the situation to change the course of events.

"Gandalf had already discovered the One Ring in Bilbo's possession... This was already destined when Bilbo killed the new Reincarnator. From the moment he raised the blade, he was inevitably trapped in the 'Gollum's' predicament and could not become a qualified Ringbearer like Frodo; the deaths of Thorin Oakenshield and others accelerated this process."

Xu Feng calculated the future: "It's a bit too fast to have Bilbo deliver the One Ring directly to Sauron. The best solution now is... to let the One Ring pass through Saruman's hands first?"

The Valley Kingdom is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Benliu River, making it ideal for developing industry and commerce.

The Kingdom of Dovenian, located in the lower reaches of the River Run, is famous for its wine, which sells well throughout the Middle-earth. Thranduil of the Mirkwood Elf Kingdom is particularly fond of its wine, and the Valley Kingdom is its largest transit point.

The newly rebuilt Valley Kingdom places great importance on trade, with several large caravans traveling by water or land to various regions of the Central Plains every month to trade.

Besides the Mirkwood Elf Kingdom, a long-time customer, Rohan, a kingdom on horseback, also became an important trading partner of the Vale Kingdom, providing it with a large number of livestock.

And Eisengard, near Rohan, naturally became a trading partner of the Vale Kingdom.

The pace of life in Zhongzhou is very slow.

Setting up this world didn't take Xu Feng too much effort. When Xu Yue was a little older, he took this daughter, who was different from ordinary people, to travel in the Central Plains.

They lived in the valley for a time; visited the Golden Forest; toured the White City of Gondor and the withering White Tree; ascended Eros Tirith... and also visited the ancient ruins of the Kingdom of Númenor and dived into the ocean depths thousands of meters deep in search of treasure.

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Numanor is not located on the seabed, but in another dimension.

In the destiny of the Lord of the Rings world, there will be an apocalyptic final battle, in which some of the people of the destroyed kingdom of Númenor will return from the darkness.

At the former site of the Kingdom of Numanor, Xu Feng encountered the first Valar... Uomu, the Lord of the Waters.

He was in charge of overseeing the Kingdom of Numanor.

Unlike the other Valar, this deity did not maintain a fixed body, but instead transformed into the ocean that encircled the Middle-earth.

Arda is about the same size as Earth.

At this time, Uomu's complete body was about the same size as the four oceans combined.

In the description of "The Silmarillion", Ulmo's power is second only to Manwë, the strongest of the Valar. However, in Xu Feng's perception, the power of this god in this state is no less than that of his Fantasy Burst state.

This Vera seemed to have foreseen some kind of destiny, behaving very kindly and answering many of Xu Feng's questions, informing him of some aspects of Numanor's situation. After descending to this world multiple times, Xu Feng discovered a location most suitable for his contemplation.

The Gate of Night.

It is the edge of the world, beyond which lies the 'empty realm' where nothing exists.

After Morgoth's final defeat, he was banished to the Void by the Valar through the Night Gate; the half-elf Eyarandil transformed into a star and lingered near the Night Gate to prevent Morgoth from returning to Middle-earth.

When Xu Feng first came here, the Star of Eyarendir would occasionally change its trajectory to come to this area, but when it found that this human was just staring blankly at the empty space, it would return to its original trajectory.

Not only Eyarendil.

Xu Feng also noticed that there were even more powerful beings watching him. Every time he left this world and returned to it, a gaze would descend upon him, but those gazes only lingered for a short time.

The fact that this visitor from outer space did not surprise the gods of Arda too much.

All the gods knew that there was more than one world in the Void. Before Arda was created, Morgoth often went to the Void in search of the Secret Fire and other worlds.

But it was all in vain.

In his third year of meditation here, Xu Feng suddenly had a strong thought... to cross the Gate of Emptiness and comprehend the Dao in the true void.

"What a delusion!"

Xu Feng closed his eyes and silently practiced the method of severing afflictions from the Huazuo Temple.

Analyze the idea of ​​stepping out of the void from its root and clarify what you really want to do.

"Hometown? Is the so-called destination really important? What determines one's realm is never the place one is in, but information. The arrogance that transmigrators cling to is only important for a few words with sufficient information depth."

The scene of the Heavenly Udumbara Flower, the most precious natural treasure he had ever consumed, dissipating resurfaced in Xu Feng's mind.

A flower blooms for a fleeting moment, and all accumulated experiences vanish into nothingness.

That process, combined with the world he knew before crossing over, created a barely perceptible crack in his consciousness.

Xu Feng felt as if his entire spirit was about to leak out through the crack, but each time he regained his senses, he realized that his spirit had not changed at all, neither increasing nor decreasing.

It's as if everything was just a fantasy.

"Vacuum is not empty, nothingness is not nothingness... This is the truth of the world."

Xu Feng stood up from beside the Gate of Night and turned to leave.

"The point of convergence has been found. The next step is to reduce the overall realism of the Pure Land... When the Pure Land in one's heart completely becomes an illusion, the Nine Contemplations will be perfected; and when the Pure Land in one's heart no longer exists, it should be the Sixteen Contemplations perfected, no, it is a realm that transcends the Sixteen Contemplations!"

"The only thing we lack now is experience and knowledge accumulation."
