A fortress shrouded in black fog blocked their path.

According to Liszt's investigation, the fortress was filled with terrifying blood creatures, with at least three having spiritual energy exceeding level 16, and over twenty exceeding level 15.

With the team's combat capability, it was difficult to attack.

Even worse, these blood creatures could be resurrected. Liszt had tried to lure a few creatures out of the fortress, but after being slain, their blood and flesh merged into the void and resurrected within the fortress.

Rod, Qingyu, and Horus exchanged glances; things were completely different from what they had imagined.

It turned out they had not yet made contact with Saint Reel, but had only found clues of Saint Reel's existence.

But fortunately, based on the clues currently controlled, this Fire King City outside the Trolian is certain to exist.

Qingyu smiled and said, "This might be a good thing, we'll have a better start with Saint Reel."

Horus looked serious. This was his work, his glory, but also gave him a deep sense of pressure.

"I will handle all of this, Rod, don't embarrass me."

Rod coughed and asked the doubt in his heart, "Why don't we go around this fortress?"

Liszt explained, "The fortress is in a gigantic mountain range, filled with unprecedented spiritual energy storms. The whole space is full of shrapnel and fault lines, extremely dangerous. I've explored far both up and down, and at least a hundred miles away, I haven't seen the end of the mountain range. Going too far around may lead to losing direction, and currently, the only path is the canyon guarded by this fortress."

Jelaba said heavily, "It's like the Dead Ash Mountain Range, blocking the entire direction. In fact, I suspect it's Saint Reel's barrier, just like our Dead Ash Mountain Range."

"Yes."

Grey-haired Peibela also said, "It's safer than the Dead Ash Mountain Range. Monsters are naturally uninterested in dead things, and for obstacles like the mountain range, they usually choose to bypass, but there's a possibility they might cross over. So we need to build a northern great wall on the Dead Ash Mountain Range...but this mountain doesn't need it. Monsters below King Level won't cross it."

Rod frowned, "Sounds a bit like our Black Fog Great Wall, it's not man-made, is it?"

"It shouldn't be."

The Red Queen stepped out from behind, her Fire Son robe different from all the others, a vivid bright red, very eye-catching.

"You'll know when you see it, this kind of magnificent miracle is hard to imagine as humanly possible."

Jelaba raised his giant hammer and said loudly, "Come on, let's smash this final obstacle and complete the miraculous turn of humanity during the Dark Epoch."

At this, the two teams completed their convergence.

Their strength instantly solidified considerably, with five special level combatants, ten first level combatants, and thirty-five second level combatants forming a complete combat echelon.

With Qingyu bringing a home advantage, their actual combat power instantly climbed several tiers.

Everyone felt a surge of confidence, believing they would perfectly complete their mission this time and commemorate humanity's first convergence during the Dark Epoch in history.

About half a clock hour later, they arrived at the foot of the mountain Liszt had mentioned.

Rod looked up, gray walls rose from the ground, piercing the heavens and the earth. He felt as if he saw a giant wall connecting heaven and earth.

Above the giant wall, chaotic and violent spiritual power waves rushed towards them, making Rod's soul feel uncomfortable.

Through the thick black fog, one could still see small spiritual lights constantly flickering in the space.

The countless cracks in the entire space resembled a massive glass smashed to pieces yet still held together.

Everyone was stunned by the awe-inspiring scene before them, even those like Liszt who had seen it several times.

Horus sighed, "This is indeed not man-made, it might be a naturally formed wonder."

Rod curiously asked, "The space is shattered like this, yet it hasn't collapsed?"

Gray-haired Peibela showed a warm smile; she was the oldest in the team next to Horus and had a motherly affection for the new generation of Trolian.

"Young Rod, the nature of space is the lateral differentiation of position. In the same position interval, there will be strong position pressure to flatten the space, so most spaces are uniform and continuous, like a large elastic membrane smoothing out all scars and cracks, it's just a matter of time."

Rod asked in surprise, "What about different positions?"

Peibela patiently said, "Different positions represent different space levels and dimensions. The upper layer will exert pressure on the lower layer, and the lower will also have a reaction force on the upper layer. This is the source of position pressure."

"Oh...is the Material World the lowest position?"

"No, the zero-point of position is the Void. Above the Void is the Material World, above the Material World is the Spirit Realm, and above the Spirit Realm is the higher Spirit Realm. The highest known position is the high Star Realm, where the sun, moon, stars operate, hidden behind enormous space fractures, wrinkles, and crevices."

Rod had an enlightening realization, Peibela's explanation was simple yet carried a profound power.

"I understand now, thank you, big sister Peibela."

Peibela's face blossomed into a flower-like smile, her many wrinkles could not hide the beauty she once had.
