Final Lord

Chapter 214 Spatial Folding Conjecture
"Let's go and take another look at the other side of the lake." With the help of the harpy, Wang Bufu arrived at the other side of the lake.

[Stagnated silkworm cocoons], [Stagnated silkworm cocoons], [Stagnated silkworm cocoons]...

Those who were sealed away and had no gold followers fared even worse; they couldn't even see their names anymore.

However, Wang Bufu was still able to discern their identities from the details of their attire.

The Yellow-Robed Apostles of the Wujin Cult are the core followers of the Wujin Cult and hold a pivotal position within it. The minimum requirement to become a Yellow-Robed Apostle is the Transcendent Level 5.

Among this group of yellow-robed apostles, Wang Bufu also spotted three people wearing deep yellow gold-embroidered badges. These were yellow-robed bishops, whose strength started at the epic level and had no upper limit.

In Wang Bufu's mind, a conjecture was deduced.

"A follower of the Wujin Cult discovered the Fountain of Life. He believed that the Fountain of Life was the reason why the Dead Wetlands had not become a chaotic area, so he reported to the church that the Fountain of Life was being corrupted."

One or more Yellow Robe Apostles came to provide support.

During their research, they discovered an anomaly—this underground space—but they only knew that the anomaly was underground; they didn't know what the anomaly was.

So, at least three yellow-robed bishops together cultivated root-extinction worms that could burrow underground, and rode them here. Then they were all wiped out here; not one of them escaped.

Meanwhile, without the bishop's supervision, the underlings mishandled the operation, causing the Fountain of Life to malfunction and leading the Goldless Cultists in the upper cave to enter a state of corruption and completely lose their minds.

With three epic bishops missing, given the cold and ruthless nature of the Goldless Cult, they wouldn't send anyone to check on them; instead, they would simply abandon the area.

The Root Extinction Worm faced north, while these Goldless Cultists faced south. They must have encountered an overwhelmingly powerful being at the location of the Root Extinction Worm, forcing them to abandon the Root Extinction Worm and flee.

The Yellow Cardinals of the Epic era must have known spatial magic. They must have used spatial magic to teleport here. But they were caught and killed the instant they arrived.

Following this line of reasoning, the chances of any remaining members of the "Gold-Free Cult" remaining alive are very slim.

Wang Bufu nodded inwardly. The threat from the Wujin Sect could be largely ignored; now, the only concern was the inherent dangers of the underground rainforest itself.

"Helan, you lead the Banshee to continue searching the surrounding area. Let me know immediately if you find anything," Wang Bufu specifically instructed. "Remember the three priority principles."

If you discover intelligent beings, please inform me first so I can handle the negotiations. If they cannot inform me, try to express goodwill as much as possible. If attacked, prioritize escape; only retaliate if escape is absolutely impossible.

Be especially careful around creatures that resemble butterflies, moths, or caterpillars; never provoke them.

"Understood, Master."

While Tina and the others were searching, Wang Bufeng wasn't idle either. He had already drawn a map using the cave dwellers' sensory abilities.

There are four very prominent areas on the map: in addition to the fern leaf area and the giant tree area explored by the harpies, there is also a fluorescent forest and a mudflat area.

This mudflat area is another exit dug out by the blind chicken. It looks quite strange. It doesn't lie flat on the ground, but rather extends horizontally to the ceiling of the underground cave in an almost vertical form.

The mudflats also mark the end of the suspended river.

All the water from the suspended rivers eventually flows into the mudflats.

Wang Bufu stroked the mudflats, lost in thought.

Wei Yi noticed Wang Bufu's state and asked in confusion:
"Brother, what are you thinking about? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can give you some advice." Wang Bufu nodded and said:

"Blind Chicken told me that the soil in the mudflats tastes very similar to that in the Dead Wetlands, and Mountain Cannon also found the highly poisonous vines unique to the Dead Wetlands in the mudflats."

This makes me wonder if this underground river is the root cause of the transformation of the desolate wetlands into wetlands.

In other words, stagnant wetlands are not formed by rainfall, but rather by underground rivers flooding into them through the mudflats.

Wei Yi tilted her head in confusion, her eyes widening:
"No way, bro."

This is 7 meters underground, and we've passed through seven geological strata. No trace of mudflats was found in any of these seven strata.

"Normally speaking, it should be impossible, but if there is space for folding, then it may be."

"What is spatial folding?" Wei Yi asked curiously; it was another new term she had never heard of before.

Wang Bufu picked up the map and pointed to the front, saying, "Assuming the front of this paper is the desolate wetlands, then the back of this paper is the mudflat area here."

The tidal flats, in a certain way, overlap with the desolate wetlands in space, representing opposites to each other. Their rules and energies can permeate and influence each other through the spatial junction—this "sheet of paper"—but they will never meet.

Physically, they are very far apart, one on the ground and the other nearly 20,000 meters underground.

However, in terms of spatial rules, they are very close, so close that there is only a thin barrier between them.

This piece of paper is both the junction and the boundary; physically, it doesn't exist, belonging to a void spatial barrier. But the rules governing it are very real.

Because of this piece of paper, we, as physical beings who have not yet grasped the rules, cannot find the mudflats located on the other side of space by moving across the desolate wetlands.

But if it were a demigod skilled in spatial manipulation, they could simply pass through this thin layer of paper and leap from the desolate wetlands to the mudflats.

"This sounds too abstract!" Wei Yi gasped. "If these two places are so close together, why don't we just dig into the mudflats when we're digging down into the Dead Wetland?"

"Because they are attached to each other according to the rules of space, not in a physical sense." Wang Bufu scratched his head.

"I only have a superficial understanding of these things and haven't studied them in depth, so I'm just making this conjecture and I'm not sure about it."

But there is a way to prove my hypothesis. If my hypothesis is correct, then monsters can definitely be found in the mudflats.

Because the desolate wetlands have been severely eroded by chaos, they belong to a semi-chaotic zone. The rules of chaos, being the highest-level, underlying rules alongside the rules of order, can definitely penetrate spatial barriers.

Just as the two were discussing, Blind Cat's excited voice suddenly rang in Wang Bufu's mind.

"My lord! Shanpao has been found! Shanpao has found the monster in the mudflats!"

Wang Bufu suddenly sat up on the ground. He clenched his fist tightly, his heart leaping with joy!
Countless players in the past were curious as to why the desolate wetlands, surrounded by three chaotic zones, had never fallen into chaos and had become the birthplace of the Elf Empire.

And now, he is finally about to unveil the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious, desolate wetland.
