Chapter 707: Chapter 404 – Don’t You Have Any Sense of Public Morality?! _1
Ange landed on the Eternity Road, startling a skinny, parched insect which began to crawl slowly towards the distance.
Ange tilted his head curiously while watching it.
Negris, who was sitting in Great Sage’s Soul Car, drove over and also landed next to Ange.
“What? There are insects? Alive?” Negris was surprised. Eternity Road hung in thin air alone with a small volume, it didn’t seem like it could retain any air. Did these insects not need to breathe air?
“There is air.” Durken waved his Gold-touch Stick, and sparse air beneath his feet showed up. An exceptionally sparse layer, it drifted up to the waist at the highest, and was almost non-existent by the time it reached the neck.
When they descended onto the ground, the thin layer of air, due to tension, extended upwards along their bodies, protruding higher than the rest of the area.
...
“If it’s a live organism, it will have to lie on the ground to breathe. However, this sparse air wouldn’t be enough to support the larger creatures unless they don’t need to breathe.” Negris said.
Among those present, only Anthony needed to breathe. Looking at the endless Eternity Road, Anthony became anxious.
Not breathing for a short while was okay, but if he didn’t breathe for an extended period, he would need to change his life form. He doubted that he could make it to the end.
“Maybe I should go back first. There are a lot of things to sort out at church.” Anthony suggested.
Ange nodded, and pulled out a Teleportation Scroll for him.
“No need, I have one.” Anthony pulled out his own Teleportation Scroll, tore it open, and a flash of light later, he was teleported away.
Only Ange, Negris, the Great Sage, Durken, and Little Sapling remained. Not even Little Angel and Little Zombie had come with them.
Ange did not wish to bring them along. He glanced at the little insect, which barely moved at all. He pulled out an Elf Bean, crushed it into powder, and sprinkled it before the insect.
The insect was startled by the sudden rain of debris from the sky and froze in place.

“What kind of insect is this? It’s too thin. Look at its abdomen, all shriveled up. It seems like it hasn’t eaten for a long time.” Durken carefully observed and commented.
“How did it survive then?” Negris asked.
“It was probably hibernating just now and we woke it up. In a place where there’s a shortage of food, normal creatures usually hibernate to minimize the consumption of energy.” Durken explained.
While they were discussing, the frozen insect finally moved. It didn’t have such complex thoughts. After remaining frozen for a while, it discovered that what fell was food and immediately bit into it, munching away busily.
The effect of the Elf Bean was very apparent. After a few bites, the insect was full, its abdomen inflated as if being inflated. Once it was full, it had energy, and it swiftly scurried away.
“It ran pretty fast.” Negris was surprised, realizing that its previous slowness was only due to hunger.
“Every place has its own ecosystem. In such a harsh environment, the species that can survive surely have unique abilities. Everyone be careful.” Durken warned.
They continued walking forward, occasionally encountering peculiar creatures, most of which were lower-level insects that seemed to be better adapted to this environment.
“Don’t you feel like the air is getting denser?” the Great Sage suddenly said.
Durken quickly waved the Gold-touch Stick, and immediately found that the air had drifted above their heads.
“Why did this happen?” Negris wondered, “On the way here, the thickness and width of Eternity Road did not increase. It shouldn’t have resulted in such unevenness unless there’s a source of air up ahead.”
Hearing this, Ange immediately quickened his pace, covering perhaps dozens of kilometers before finally noting some faint light up ahead, and feeling a clear resistance from the air. The air here was already dense enough to offer resistance.
A large flat area appeared in front, covered with green crops; some light was reflecting off it.
Eternity Road cut through this flat area; on the two ends of the road, numerous creatures crowded together, each occupying a different partition in an orderly manner.
“Is this a Farm Barrier? The air must be coming from there.” Durken exclaimed.
The Farm Barrier is a separate spatial boundary. It cuts off other dimensions, and its ecological environment also belongs to other dimensions. To grow things, it definitely needs air, sunlight, and water.
But once the boundary is set up, it doesn’t exist independently. Air will drift out from inside it, spreading along the Eternity Road. Hence, the closer one is to the Farm Barrier, the richer the air is.
The air inside the Resting Camp came in the same way. However, the Resting Camp’s space was limited. Once the diffusion reached equilibrium, it stopped changing.
But Eternity Road was in the void, with a long, slender shape. It didn’t have enough gravity to hold the air in place. The air continuously dissipated, becoming sparser the further away from the Farm Barrier.
Thus, the land near the farm had become a treasure trove that all life forms fought over, not just for the air, but also the food.
Their arrival had stirred up roadside creatures near the farm. Everyone didn’t pay much attention to this disturbance and started to observe more closely instead.
“Most of them are plant-eaters. Are those Flame Rabbits? Why are their fur colors so dull? Isn’t their fur supposed to be fiery red?” Negris remarked in surprise.
