She and Ye Yu exchanged a glance, both knowing that it wasn't just them who were taking action; Ye Lai Xiang had also begun her own plan.
Now, it all comes down to who can move faster and barely gain the upper hand in this silent duel.
Neither of them spoke, but a hint of anxiety appeared in their eyes, which they forcefully suppressed.
While they were lost in thought, "God" had already spread his wings again and calmly closed his eyes.
He has already granted Jiang Kehan a connection with the Silver Sea, but it will still take a lot of His effort to forcibly communicate about the future and send her to the Silver Sea that belongs to her.
Because the Silver Sea of the future will have a nominal guardian.
The Lord of America, bestowed with the titles of One and Eternity, the Great Second Seat, Little Lilith.
Little Lilith's magical properties and her will are called "Unique".
Before she came of age, she was a relatively ordinary noblewoman. Although she was quite talented, she was not as good as Jiang Kehan during her Little Witch days.
Forget about being considered a great talent, even calling her a great witch would be an understatement.
But everything changed the moment little Lilith came of age.
The unique essence of a witch lies in making up for what is missing, rather than erasing it.
Before the uniqueness is determined, although the little witch will have many different future paths, the little witch in each path will have her own biases in talent and will. To express this in numbers, the number of each existence in the future is a decimal less than one.
Although there are more dazzling and more dim ones, they all divide the existence of the witch.
Becoming a witch and establishing uniqueness is to restrain this division of the witch. Although there are no longer different paths, the witch at this time is a complete "one" in terms of numbers.
In this way, the Middle Witch gained the qualification to unite all wills, thereby transforming into the Great Witch who could make that number infinitely large.
But Little Lilith is different.
She was too domineering and willful, even disregarding what was "should".
After she naturally became a witch, the future that should have been restrained became more divergent. She even sacrificed herself so that all her different future selves would have the qualifications to become "one".
Thus, countless little Liliths, whether successful or unsuccessful, oscillate between illusion and reality. At their highest, they ascend to greatness; at their lowest, they perish the moment they become witches.
Only possibilities continue to expand, truly stepping into infinity.
These were all unconscious instincts of little Lilith, because she knew, and she was certain, that no matter what the outcome, she would eventually become nothing more than the bones beneath her feet.
Thus, countless futures converge and are constrained at the end, becoming a new starting point and beginning to spread even more magnificent possibilities.
Through this ceaseless process of iteration, after a three-year slumber, the great second seat was born.
Yes, Little Lilith went from being a little witch to the Great Second Seat simply by sleeping for three years, which is so... unreasonable.
But no one dared to question her strength, and it was even difficult to imagine just how strong she was.
All they knew was that Little Lilith's strength had been steadily increasing, without ever stopping.
While the "uniqueness" allowed Little Lilith to overcome countless accumulations, it also brought certain negative effects. For example, when she made contact with the Time Gate, the other party would only explode cleanly and decisively.
Because Little Lilith can never interfere with the past; she can only exist between the present and the future.
In addition, Lilith was young and inexperienced in the past, so she naturally became the most common and useful tool among all the greats.
Tasks such as guarding the Silver Sea, overseeing the unknown future, and being in charge of all the time portals all fell into her hands.
Therefore, in such a grueling workplace environment, Little Lilith uttered a famous quote that is etched in "A Simple History of Witches"—"Witches are all lazy, and great ones are especially lazy."
Despite the complaints and frustrations, it also reveals that witches never lose their humanity, whether they are little witches or great ones.
While "God" waited somewhat anxiously, little Lilith's decree soon arrived.
She said with a hint of indifference, "If you're going to open the door, stop dawdling and hurry up, or if something really goes wrong this time due to the historical anomaly, I'll give you a good beating."
"Also, it's you who owes this witch, not the other way around. You'd better think about how to make it up to her."
"God" raised his head in gratitude and revealed a gentle smile.
Then, His wings, the countless feathers that appeared as single eyes, emitted a pale white light, forming a pure white cocoon that enveloped Him and Jiang Kehan and Ye Yu in front of Him.
Using Jiang Kehan as the anchor and her contract with the cat balls as the point, a portion of the future Silver Sea was thrown over by Little Lilith, deceiving everyone.
Jiang Kehan felt a very slight but illogical detachment, her mind filled with what felt like white noise, which was rather annoying.
Is this stepping into the Silver Sea...? Jiang Kehan pondered, but this strange feeling was only momentary and quickly disappeared.
She knew that she and Ye Yu had arrived at the land of miracles and fantasies, the Silver Sea.
Jiang Kehan opened her eyes, then remained silent for a long time.
Before her was pure white, and the detached threads, with gaps between them, sometimes tangled together, bursting forth with white flames, burning out a little "light" invisible to the naked eye.
This is Ling Ye, whom Jiang Kehan is very familiar with, after all, she and Tania once worked together to divide her.
But the problem is, this place is too big, and there's nothing else here except for these white lines.
Jiang Kehan and Ye Yu looked at each other, both somewhat bewildered.
"Sister Ye Yu, which way should we go?" Jiang Kehan asked.
Ye Yu was unusually shy, and with his head down, he muttered, "I don't know either. I've lost all my strength and can't tell which way to go."
"But I have been to the Silver Sea before, so I can tell you what I encountered. For example, this is the shallows of the Silver Sea."
"The shallows are the quietest place, where there is no danger, but there are no suitable landmarks for Meowball to identify."
Jiang Kehan covered her face, wanting to sigh.
"God" is a reflection of the entire Silver Sea, so he cannot enter the interior of the Silver Sea and cannot provide them with more help.
As for the cat ball?
They only know where they are. If they want to guide Jiang Kehan and the others forward, they need to know where Jiang Kehan and the others are too!
Therefore, the most urgent task is to find a fixed landmark so that the cats can know about it.
Jiang Kehan put on her crown and staff, her eyes sharpened, and she hovered in mid-air. She randomly chose a direction and began her journey.
As long as you keep walking, you'll always find a way.
Chapter 409 Shallows, Deep Sea, and the City That Never Falls
There is no concept of space inside the Silver Sea; there are only countless white lines of varying lengths, or even more bizarre curtains that dance like fire.
These things are not things that Jiang Kehan can touch now. Even getting even a little bit of them would bring terrible consequences.
The shallows are the edge where the Silver Sea and the Cliff of Matter meet, where only white lines float; as long as you fly in mid-air, you are safe.
Ye Yu stood on Jiang Kehan's shoulder, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, while giving her instructions.
"The Silver Sea is not safe, even more dangerous than the battlefield, so we must be more cautious."
Jiang Kehan looked at the white line below, her eyes growing increasingly sharp, and asked.
"Is there an enemy?"
Ye Yu shook his head and sighed slightly, but a smile played on his lips.
"Your current strength is already powerful enough. Apart from the Great Witch and the [Supreme], you can escape from any other enemy you encounter. So the scary thing is not the enemy."
"Moreover... the creatures of the Silver Sea are actually friendlier, even harmless, than you think."
Jiang Kehan clicked her tongue slightly, but her heart grew even more serious.
Ye Yu was right. Since she could rival level 8 creatures, Jiang Kehan was no longer afraid of other hunters. In fact, she was even eager to have suitable enemies to practice against.
With her current strength, even if she went back to the future, she would be considered one of the strongest witches, not much weaker.
Moreover, the crown staff that Jiang Kehan named "Han Hai Xing Can" and she herself are both beings that grow stronger the more they fight. Without a battlefield for her to practice on, her growth rate naturally slows down.
Unfortunately, a formidable enemy is secretly manipulating things behind their backs, so naturally, the stronger they are, the better.
"Is there some special rule?" Jiang Kehan frowned as she looked at the white lines under her feet. If she wasn't mistaken, were there more and more white lines?
The snow had piled up from a single layer to a depth that was ankle-deep, and this trend was only intensifying.
Jiang Kehan's magical perception was not very effective here. These white lines were essentially the jubilant "will" that could interfere with magical detection. When detected, they were just like the static on an old TV when there was no signal.
As expected, it was true that it was best for non-Great Witches not to go to the Silver Sea... Jiang Kehan couldn't help but pour more magic into the Crown Staff, ready to use it to become ethereal at any time.
"It's not the rules that are dangerous, it's that every part of the path is dangerous." Ye Yu said, looking at the white rope knots that were gradually rising and falling in front of him, resembling the surface of the sea.
"What exists within the Silver Sea are all unclaimed wills. They are incredibly tenacious and exceptionally exuberant. If one gets tainted by them, only a great witch can remove them."
"If it's just a little bit, it's fine. At most, you'll feel a bit tired, like you have a cold, and you might have more dreams at night."
"But once you've been exposed to Yinqi VI, you might temporarily lose yourself."
Jiang Kehan shivered. Getting lost wasn't scary; what was scary was getting lost in the Silver Sea.
After all, who knows if they'll wander off aimlessly and end up picking up more and more contaminants?
Even if a witch has incredible evolutionary abilities, it still takes time. Moreover, being lost is like a dream to a witch, not activating much of her instinctive reaction, since it poses no threat whatsoever.
Therefore, even Jiang Kehan, if she gets lost here, will likely remain in this state for at least several months.
By then, let alone changing the barrier, even the daylilies might wither completely, and everything will be too cold.
Oh, maybe the food is still hot... Jiang Kehan's face darkened.
"If we're careful, we should be able to avoid it, right?" she asked cautiously.
"The real danger lies in its unpredictability," Ye Yu shook his head, but he wasn't particularly worried.
"It's alright in the shallows, but the white lines here are newly formed and lack vitality for now."
"But once you cross the shallows and reach the deep sea, which occupies the vast majority of the Silver Sea, everything is different."
Jiang Kehan stopped because she had already seen what the so-called deep sea really looked like.
The world was above and below, and the white flames adorned every corner. Countless beasts that existed only in fantasy ran around, constantly overlapping and shattering.
Jiang Kehan's first impression was that it was crazy.
After all, anyone who sees Godzilla walking backwards, a giant butterfly climbing from the side and above, and other bizarre, kaleidoscope-like sights would not think this place is normal.
However, these beasts are indeed just projections, or rather, thoughts, not real creatures.
Jiang Kehan swallowed, beginning to sense the danger lurking in Ye Yu's mouth.
While white light can be blocked, these thoughts that appear out of nowhere, like frames skipping through time, are practically the holy grail of quantum mechanics, completely unpredictable.
One instant they were hundreds of millions of miles away, and the next they were here. What's most terrifying is that the number and scale of these thoughts are inexhaustible, resulting in the area in front of them being completely full, without revealing a single breath.
