Six months had passed since Wudi Egun began his relentless search for the elusive Innate Giants. Despite his failures, his determination remained unwavering.
As Wudi Egun rested beneath a tree, gazing out at the far horizon and watching the fleeting clouds, the tranquility was shattered by the sound of approaching horses. Surprised, he swiftly rose from his position and turned to locate the source.
Before him, a procession of majestic black horses pulled carriages and wagons, their drivers guiding them with practiced ease. Wudi Egun's eyes widened in astonishment.
"What the ...?" He smiled wryly, unsure whether to laugh or lament. For six months, he had scoured every corner of Rain Hill, searching for any sign of human life, only to find none.
Yet, here they were – travelers in carriages and wagons, moving through the landscape as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.
Curiosity getting the better of him, Wudi Egun decided to approach them and strike up a conversation. With each step, he seemed to cover hundreds of feet without effort, as if traversing multiple dimensions.
Despite covering hundreds of steps with each stride, Wudi Egun failed to reach the travelers. It was as if they existed in a different dimension, their presence merely a reflection in his reality.
Perplexed, Wudi Egun furrowed his brow. "Space Distortion," he muttered, understanding dawning on him.
In this world, aside from High Heaven, who possessed mastery over Space and Time rivaling his? He smiled, confidence swelling within.
Halting his thoughts, Wudi Egun assumed a meditative posture. His body began to float in mid-air, defying gravity as if surrendering to the vast expanse.
With unwavering focus, he delved into the intricate complexities surrounding the travelers. His consciousness merged with the space, seeking to grasp the distortion's essence.
As Wudi Egun's awareness merged with the space, threads of distorted energy revealed themselves. He saw the intricate web of manipulated coordinates, the fabric of reality warped to conceal the travelers.
This was no ordinary distortion. A Master of the Spatial Arts had woven this intricate deception.
At the beginning, his body was following the travelers while he was still in meditation. But as time passed by, the Law of Space began to manifest around him, eventually materializing into a Space Law Palace behind his head.
The Space Law Palace was now rotating with spatial energy and profundity, all the truth regarding the Space Law seeming to have come alive in that palace with nothing to hide.
Wudi Egun learned a new and interesting Space Power: Mirage. Mirage, a Space Power that can create an illusion of something and force that illusion on a target.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing before a gigantic gate forged from unknown materials. The gate was as large as a titan from the stories he used to hear in his original world, almost touching the sky.
Flanking the gate, imposing walls rose, their defenses formidable enough to repel an army of gods and demons – or even High Heaven itself.
According to ancient lore, countless powerful and heaven-defying races thrived in the era preceding Wudi Egun's birth, known as the Forbidden Era or Humble Beginning Era.
In this primordial era, strength reigned supreme. Powerful beings dominated land and sky with sheer physical prowess. Wars ravaged the landscape, as titanic forces clashed in epic struggles.
One legendary conflict stood out: the war between the Innate Giants and Terrestrial Gods.
Wudi Egun smiled and calmed his mind, ready to enter the land beyond the gate. Though uncertain about what lay beyond, he sensed proximity to his goal.
Undaunted, he attempted to push the gate, but his efforts yielded nothing. A second try proved equally futile. As a Great Cultivator at the Mortal Realm's pinnacle, nearing the Quasi-Spirituality Realm of a Dao Seeker, his strength had reached mortal limits.
Yet, against this gargantuan gate, his might was insignificant. The gate's imperviousness testified to its formidable nature.
Realizing force was futile, Wudi Egun sought alternative entry methods. His intellect and cultivation expertise would be crucial in overcoming this obstacle.
