Chapter 504: Crossing the Space Monster World
The way towards the center of the Space Monster World was as deserted as Jack imagined. At least, at first. The dry ground continued unabated. Even after an hour of flying, covering tens of thousands of miles, it persisted.
“What the hell?” Jack asked mentally. “Is the Space Monster World empty?”
“At the outer provinces, yes,” Venerable Saint Thousand Shell replied. “The world is huge, but the environment out here is not the best. Most importantly, space monsters suck at coexisting. The constant killing prevents the population from growing.”
Jack took another look around. Emptiness, as far as met the eye. This world really was huge—so much it made him wonder.
The Green Dragon Realm was the masterpiece of Archon Green Dragon, who specialized in spacetime and had even used a part of his body to create the realm heart. Despite that, the end result was only a hundred thousand miles in diameter. Which Jack had never thought of as small before, but this Space Monster World was significantly larger. If the Green Dragon Realm was placed here, it would just be another province. This world was far more stable, too, almost like the universe.
“Who even made this place?” Jack asked the turtle. “And don’t tell me it occurred naturally.”
“The history of the Space Monster World goes too far back… When I was born, a billion years ago, the truth was already lost in time. We weren’t always sapient. It took millions of years for us space monsters to develop the ability to record history, and by then, whoever created this world was gone. We only know what we see.”
“Don’t give me that. What about the seal outside the world, keeping A-Grades out? What about this Dark Canal Dolly mentioned?”
“There are theories. At the time, the most powerful entities in the universe were the Old Gods, but even they would be hard-pressed to create such a vast world and such a powerful seal around it. Some monsters claim our world was created by Axelor to match Enas’s act of birthing the Ancients. Others say that we, and this entire world, are natural creations of the universe. That nobody would have the power to establish this place artificially. Some even say this is a separate universe which just failed to develop fully.”
