Chapter 467: Stowaways of the Abyss Rift
Lin Zeyu teleported to the Tidal Sea and returned two days later with a message.
"High Priestess Sona has provided a method for contraband crossing to the Tidal Sea through the Abyss Rift."
Indeed, there exists a method for contraband crossing to other worlds through the Abyss Rift, but the survival rate is extremely low.
Since the onset of the Abyss Descent, Abyss Rifts have appeared intermittently.
Currently, there are still many areas on Blue Star enveloped in rift mists, which are the mists that emanate from the Abyss Rifts.
The probability of Abyss Demons appearing in the mist is high, as many of these demons have come from Abyss Rifts.
Since Demons can enter the Human World through the rifts, humans can naturally enter the Abyss through them as well.
However, attempting to pass through an Abyss Rift is akin to passing through a meat grinder.
The rift itself is a crack formed by spatial fragmentation, and the interior of the rift is highly unstable, even affecting the World Law.
Humans, when teleported into the Abyss World as Summoners, receive Abyss Integration granted by the Summoning Will, enabling survival in the target world.
Entering the Abyss World through the rift is another story; one would be crushed to pieces by the rift.
Even if one withstands the crushing impact of the rift and enters the world on the other side, unpredictable changes arise due to differences in world laws.
Hence, the chance of survival when attempting contraband crossing through the Abyss Rift to the Otherworld is extremely low.
The demons appearing on Blue Star mostly come through Abyss Rifts.
The reason demons can cross over is due to various combined factors.
The most crucial factor is their greater environmental adaptability and resistance to the rift.
For example, the Flame Demon is essentially an elemental creature without a flesh body. Even if torn apart by the rift, the damage it suffers isn't as severe as the damage a human would encounter.
Furthermore, Abyssal Alien creatures are even more terrifying; only one cell is needed to pass through the rift into the Human World, where it can parasitize an animal and grow into an alien larva.
These abilities to traverse the rift are ones humans do not possess.
Moreover, an individual human passing through the rift into the Abyss World gains nothing besides encountering danger.
Without incentives, few people dare to risk crossing the rift.
Of course, when a population reaches a certain size, there will inevitably be individuals who are fearless or even seek death.
Thus, some Superpower Users have attempted to enter the Abyss Rift, but nearly none have returned.
Lu Heng remembers that there was a Superpower User who successfully crossed the Abyss Rift and returned, albeit missing many parts.
After this incident, even fewer Superpower Users attempted it.
In the circles of Superpower Users, this method of crossing the Abyss Rift is also called "contraband crossing."
This term contrasts with the summonings on the Abyss Battlefield, where summoning is the official teleportation method to the Abyss World, while crossing through the Abyss Rift is naturally considered "contraband crossing."
"Contraband crossing" is extremely dangerous, and unless one's Divine Energy drops to a negative value, Lu Heng won't consider this method.
Upon hearing about "contraband crossing," Lu Heng asked, "What did Sona say? The success rate of crossing the Abyss Rift is rather low."
Lin Zeyu explained, "Sona said she can utilize the Sea God's Heart to help stabilize the Space Rift, but she mentioned that the method is still very dangerous and advised you to think it through. If you've decided to go through with it, use this Echo Seashell to convey the message."
He then took out an Echo Seashell and handed it to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng held the Echo Seashell thoughtfully, saying, "Alright, I'll consider it."
Lin Zeyu added, "This Echo Seashell only works in seawater."
Lu Heng naturally understood this and agreed, then headed out to the seaside.
Speaking a sentence into the Echo Seashell, he placed it in the seawater.
The seawater would carry this echo deep into the ocean.
Typically, the Echo Seashell only reverberates within connected seas.
This meant that, barring other influences, the sound within the Echo Seashell cannot be transmitted from the Human World to the Tidal Sea.
However, due to the existence of Abyss Rifts, there might be space connection points between the two worlds.
The first time humans were summoned to the Sea Demon World was because an Abyss Rift in the Andaman Sea was closed.
Back then, the rift in the Andaman Sea connected to the Dragon Sleep World's Tidal Sea.
Therefore, if the voice within the Echo Seashell reaches the High Priestess Sona of the Sea Demon Clan, it indicates rift points linking the sea to the Tidal Sea exist.
Of course, there may not be rift connections to the Tidal Sea, in which case the contraband crossing plan cannot be executed.
Lu Heng placed the Echo Seashell into the seawater and waited for over ten minutes without any response.
Everyone assumed there would be no response when, suddenly, a surge of seawater emerged from the Echo Seashell.
Lu Heng's eyes showed a glimmer of excitement as he picked up the Echo Seashell and placed it to his ear.
From the shell, Sona's distant voice emanated: "A rift point has been found, using the Sea God's Heart to maintain the rift passage, it can barely be traversed. The rift is unstable and can close at any time. If you're planning to come, you need to hurry."
Lu Heng held the Echo Seashell, pondering momentarily. Given his current strength, he could indeed give it a try.
"I want to try, but I can't determine the rift's position."
After waiting another ten minutes, Sona's voice again emerged from the Echo Seashell.
"The Echo Seashell will guide your direction."
