World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1415 - 318: Dark Energy Shock Wall Phasing Technique
"Is this the Divine Kingdom...? But why does the sky look like this...?"
After the final leg of their journey, the group finally reached the mountain peak.
Nearby, the massive Sun Furnace stretched across dozens of kilometers, yet it eerily emitted no sound.
Above, a layer of hard rock was blocking their way, and inside the wall was covered with some kind of silver powder.
Zhang Xiaoman speculated that this powder must be the method the Sun Furnace uses to release light and heat.
Countless silver powder was spread across the upper layer of this underground space, creating the "sky" seen by humans below through their reflection.
The place where the people of Erin Continent live is not just a cage; the very starry sky is an illusion.
Like ants living in an incubator, everything is just a facade created by their caretakers.
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly recalled why people in this world have no concept of stars.
Ever since he arrived here, he had never seen any stars, apart from the so-called "Sun."
On the other hand, McCarthy and the others were lost in thought.
Even though these people were natives and had never seen real space, nor understood the concept of galaxies, they were not foolish.
At least, in their awareness, the sky should not be like this, and many began pondering the reasons behind it.
"Let’s find a way to climb up; once we cross the rock wall, we can reach the Divine Country."
Zhang Xiaoman interrupted their thoughts.
"You see over there? That should be the gate to our destination, and once we pass through it, we can arrive at our destination."
The group looked ahead.
Not far away, a massive metal door, approximately dozens of meters high, was embedded in the mountain, exuding grandeur and indeed giving a sense of being the gate to a Divine Country.
"Oh? So this is the ’Gate of Paradise’ leading to the Divine Kingdom. I’ve heard of its legend, but I didn’t expect it to actually exist."
On the scene, only the Dwarf King, Yohad, seemed unworried, unaware of the seriousness, thinking all of it was just natural.
This "Gate of Paradise," composed of unknown metal, was huge, wide enough for three Frost Giant Dragons to pass smoothly.
But now a new problem lay before them: how to open it?
Zhang Xiaoman tried; though he hadn’t seen such material before, it was not transcendent like Olharast Steel.
If he wanted to open the door, forcibly breaking through could be done.
But that would be equivalent to forcibly opening a breach in this enclosed underground space, potentially causing ecological destruction here, which he couldn’t determine.
After all, many natives lived below.
Though they were "farmed," they were innocent lives, and Zhang Xiaoman didn’t want to destroy an entire world due to impulsive actions.
Therefore, he needed to devise a way.
Neither damaging the gate’s structure nor ensuring everyone’s safe passage.
"Ji Xing, what should we do now?"
McCarthy looked at Zhang Xiaoman.
"Let me just smash it!"
Yohad then punched the door, but seemingly caused no harm.
"Stop! Yohad!"
Zhang Xiaoman hurriedly called him.
"The door can’t be damaged yet; its destruction might bring disaster to the Mortal World, let me try other methods..."
Not knowing how to quickly make the Dwarves understand the consequences of a broken environmental chamber, he had to explain in a way they understood.
"Huh? That severe? Isn’t this the Gate of Paradise, not the Gate of Hell? Even if I break it, it should ’bring joy to the Mortal World’..."
"Alright, alright, I can’t understand why this is..."
"Fine, these matters will be left to you... But Ji Xing, you have to hurry, I can’t wait to smash those guys’ heads!"
Under Zhang Xiaoman’s earnest gaze, Yohad finally gave up on breaking through—though, given the metal door’s displayed toughness, he might not break it.
At this moment, everyone focused on Zhang Xiaoman.
They realized the door’s displayed strength was not easy to destroy, let alone entering without smashing it.
Zhang Xiaoman stood and pondered for a long while, slowly floating to the door, placing a palm on its surface.
Keeping this position, he maintained it for about ten minutes.
This left everyone puzzled, not understanding what he was doing.
"Ji..."
Yohad, most impatient, wanted to ask but was stopped by McCarthy.
"Don’t interrupt him."
The Holy Demon Master gently advised.
The Dwarf knew he acted rashly, didn’t argue, quietly contained himself, and continued to wait.
Time passed; Zhang Xiaoman’s palm remained stationary on the door.
