Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 891 The Continent Imprisoned

Thor was momentarily stunned by the starry sky beyond the membrane.

Many guesses flashed through his mind, the first of which was whether the Chaotic Domain was floating in the universe, just protected by a membrane, so that it would not collapse in the universe and would not have to fight against the dangers in the universe.

However, this membrane doesn't seem to completely isolate the area, since it already has a hole, and it's unknown whether this hole will eventually become an anthill causing a dam to collapse.

Thor first examined the hole through which the Fate Thread had emerged and found that the entry and exit of the Fate Thread had not affected the shape of the hole. And this tiny pinhole had not allowed anything else from the Chaotic Realm to leak out.

Even a speck of dust.

In other words, this crack is a hole in the fate line, but not necessarily in the context of the world.

After all, even a crack the size of a pinhole can allow many substances to pass through.

Saul felt somewhat relieved, so he continued to manipulate the Fate Line and continue exploring outwards.

But after continuing to explore outwards, Thor discovered that what was outside was not really the universe.

Or rather, he is in the universe, but in a place where he can see the universe.

It was only because when he first emerged from the crack, the crack was facing the starry sky that he saw all he could see.

"This is like a frog in a well with a limited view of the sky."

After drilling through the crack and extending it a bit further, Thor saw land beneath the stars.

He then realized that he was on a plane, or rather, on the ground.

The line continues to rise, then turns back after reaching a certain height.

Thor spotted land.

A land even more desolate than the chaotic wilderness.

Because here, there are no mountains, no deserts, no forests, and no rivers.

It's somewhat like the lunar surface Thor had seen in his hazy memories, but without the craters from meteorite impacts. The surface is fairly flat, though the mud and rock composition still makes it rough.

Moreover, judging from the direction of the piled-up stones, the gravity in this place is exactly the opposite of that in the chaotic region where Thor is currently located.

The two worlds exist side by side, like the soles of our feet touching.

"Could the Chaotic Realm be a world that was thrown into space, with this outer layer being a protective shell of dust that has accumulated over a long period of wandering?"

Thor continued to extend his fate line upwards, the twinkling stars above reminding him of the stars in his own consciousness space.

He felt no discomfort or sense of danger on the fate line, so he continued upwards.

After all, on a spherical celestial body, one can stand high and see far.

After ascending a considerable distance, Thor began to feel the strain. He finally stopped and tried to sense the ground below.

Unfortunately, the Fate Line cannot completely replace visual perception, and at such a distance, the information Thor can receive becomes blurred.

He noticed that there seemed to be some bumps on the ground below.

Grayish-white, enormous like a small mountain, quiet and motionless.

But Thor couldn't yet tell what those bumps were.

At this moment, Thor's mental strength began to waver, and exhaustion overwhelmed him.

"It's time to go back."

The fate line begins to shrink rapidly.

But perhaps the arrival of the fate line finally triggered some forces, because as it returned to the crack, the ground nearby suddenly trembled, and then the surface soil slid off.

Something grayish-white was revealed.

Saul accelerated his return.

His mental state is no longer stable, and he doesn't want to confront the creatures here directly.

But he was still a step too slow.

Just as the line of fate was about to close the crack, the grayish-white thing suddenly emerged completely from under the dust.

Thor paused as he was about to retreat, then confronted the newly appeared grayish-white sorcerer. After a moment, he once again directed the Fate Line to completely burrow back underground.

The Fate Thread returned to Thor's body, and Thor immediately commanded the algae to spit back the mud mixed with black powder that it had just swallowed, restoring the mountain wall to its original state.

That thing didn't chase after us, nor did it even send any mental energy fluctuations in our direction.

Thor stood there for a long time until a voice echoed in his mind.

Herbert: [Master, are you alright?]

The consciousness in the diary did not see everything that Thor saw through the clues of fate.

In their minds, Thor had been standing there, stunned, for more than ten minutes.

"It's nothing." Thor first reassured the somewhat uneasy consciousness, then tilted his head and said in a puzzled tone, "I was just outside the Chaotic Realm, let's call it the outside for now, and I saw... a human skeleton there."

……

Soon after, Thor returned to the crevice and saw Anne waiting beside the precipice.

"Master, are you alright?" An greeted him.

"Getting impatient?" Thor asked with a smile.

"I'm a little worried," Ann said frankly. "I've never been down to the very bottom of the cliff. In fact, I've never found the bottom; there's an unknown terror there for me."

Before Thor could answer Anne, he saw a little girl peeking out from behind Anne; it was Lucia, whom Anne had taken away earlier.

The girl had a round face, which was considered cute even in the chaotic world, but... she had no nose.

Or rather, there is no prominent bridge of the nose, and there are two narrow openings above the mouth.

This should be an anomaly belonging to Lucia. Almost everyone in the Chaotic Realm has it; some anomalies make them stronger, while others have little effect.

Scorpion's initial mutation was largely ineffective, which is why he was among the first to be abandoned when his tribe faced a resource crisis.

However, Scorpion was lucky enough to bring back a master conman, which turned his fortunes around.

Ann turned around and saw Lucia, glaring at her and telling her to go back.

Lucia stuck out her tongue and retreated into the tent.

Anne felt a little embarrassed, remembering that Thor had overheard her conversation with Lucia. "Her nasal cavity is mutated, allowing her to smell the unique scent of bones, so I would bring her out to find remains. Over time, the little girl became quite well-behaved, so I took her on as an apprentice."

An spoke as if giving a report.

"Of course, I won't interfere in your private lives. Did you also name Lucia? People here generally prefer single-character names."

"Yes, her original name was Lu (Deer). But I changed her name mainly because there are dozens of girls named Lu in Blackwater City. Their families always hope to hunt a deer when they go out, so many children have names of prey."

Is this such a simple and unadorned hope?

Thor's tense nerves gradually relaxed as he walked back to the edge of the cliff, his shoe kicking a small pebble.

The pebble flew out, fell into the crack, and continued to fall until it disappeared into the darkness, and finally no sound came back up.

"This chaotic region should be a broken world side."

An nodded; she had noticed too.

Thor turned his head to look at Ann, who had walked up to him and was standing side by side. "Do you know what the edge of the world looks like?"

"I haven't been to the World Side. It's mostly occupied by powerful wizarding forces and families. But I've heard from my elders that the World Side is also very dangerous. If someone who isn't strong enough occupies the World Side, they might end up being devoured by it and becoming nourishment for the world."

An frowned slightly, recalling the past, "They said the World Side is an incomplete world. That's why it's called the World Side, not the Small World. The incompleteness of the World Side seems to be reflected in its boundaries, and those boundaries are constantly breaking down and rebuilding."

"Really?" Thor said, hands behind his back. "But I discovered a membrane below, beyond which lies another world with no end in sight. This doesn't seem like the side of the world; it's more like a continent that's been locked up."
