Chapter 474 - Inner s.p.a.ce, Layer, Boundary, Outer s.p.a.ce
The outer s.p.a.ce and inner s.p.a.ce acted as two separate ent.i.ties.
Why was it considered so despite both being "connected?
Because there was a large gap between these two s.p.a.ces that didn"t belong to either of them.
It was called by different names. The popular term among humans was "Boundary".
Boundary s.p.a.ce had a single defining characteristic—it pushed.
Whenever anything entered the boundary s.p.a.ce, it would push the thing to outer s.p.a.ce.
So, when a s.p.a.ce awakener wants to teleport, they"d use their s.p.a.ce power and enter this boundary.
The stronger the awakener, the farther they can go inside the boundary: away from the outer s.p.a.ce and towards the inner s.p.a.ce.
The weakest ones, level 1s could only reach the boundary s.p.a.ce just bordering the outer s.p.a.ce.
The stronger ones would be closer and closer to Inner s.p.a.ce.
And due to the "pushing" characteristic of the boundary s.p.a.ce, any s.p.a.ce awakener regardless of their level would be pushed out.
But the stronger the awakener, the more they can "resist" this push.
What was there to achieve by resisting the push?
For most, it was longer teleportation.
The s.p.a.ce in the boundary and outside world are not equivalent.
Just for the sake of comparison, if a person took ten steps inside the boundary and they"re pushed outside, then in the eyes of the outside world, they"d have moved by some hundred steps.
Of course, this "difference" would also change depending on how much they moved inside and how far they have gone into the boundary.
And again, just for comparison, if a person moved ten steps inside boundary at a distance of 1 mile away from outer s.p.a.ce, his movement in the outside world would be a hundred steps.
But if he was say, 100 miles away from the outer s.p.a.ce and moved those same ten steps, then he"d have moved more than 100,000 steps outside.
This was the reason why high awakeners could teleport hundreds, if not thousands of miles like it was nothing.
But other than longer teleportation, there was another use of resisting the push.
It was familiarizing yourself with the chaotic s.p.a.ce and especially, the Layer s.p.a.ce.
Layer s.p.a.ce or simply, the Layer was like the borderline of Inner s.p.a.ce. Once you cross the layer, you"d enter the Inner s.p.a.ce.
And Layer was also the place where all high s.p.a.ce awakeners were able to enter.
There"s a saying that if you go from one end of the layer to another end, it shows that you went from being a level 7 s.p.a.ce awakener to being a peak level 9 and perhaps even a Sovereign.
And if you cross the Layer and enter the inner s.p.a.ce, then congratulations on becoming a Celestial Ranker.
Of course, no human achieved it so far.
Regardless, Layer was a symbol of a high s.p.a.ce awakener.
But to become one, you need to break into the layer and endure being pushed out countless times before your body improves your affinity to s.p.a.ce.
Thus, all peak level 6 s.p.a.ce awakeners spend all their training time in this layer, trying to "adjust" themselves to it.
Once their affinity improves, they"d develop a "s.p.a.ce Body".
s.p.a.ce Body, simply put, amplifies their existing s.p.a.ce powers and causes a qualitative change.
This was why a level 7 s.p.a.ce awakener was fundamentally on a different league compared to his level 6 counterparts.
Now since all the training needed was to spend time in the layer and "adjust", why didn"t elite youth ask their parents to send a high awakener to "a.s.sist" them inside the layer?
Like, a level 8 s.p.a.ce awakener could take a level 6 s.p.a.ce awakener into the "Layer" forcibly.
Then this level 6 could learn and improve rapidly, right?
Wrong.
Inside Boundary s.p.a.ce and Layer s.p.a.ce, chaotic s.p.a.ce currents would be rampant.
Ironically, manipulation of s.p.a.ce powers inside this chaotic s.p.a.ce would harm you greatly.
Thus, even level 8s couldn"t a.s.sist their juniors.
So, if a level 8 takes a level 6 inside the layer, then they"re on their own.
Considering how dangerous the chaotic currents are, there"s a good chance that the level 6 would actually die.
But it wasn"t as if a.s.sistance was completely useless.
Despite not being able to protect their juniors, high s.p.a.ce awakeners could still take them inside the layer—which in itself was an extremely difficult job.
Considering the peak level 6"s 0/6 progress bar Varian followed, from 1/6 to 4/6, they"d all spend their time breaking into the layer.
Only from 5/6 and 6/6 would they spend time inside the layer. Of course, the last step actually took more time than the first four. So, the difficulty could be imagined.
And according to experts, if you directly jumped into layer, you"d have faster progress from 0/6 to 4/6 than the traditional method.
Thus, its a.s.sistance wasn"t totally useless.
So, if you had a level 8 grandpa or uncle, and are only at 2/6 peak level 6, they would take you into the layer.
But would you survive the chaotic s.p.a.ce?
Well, good luck.
"There"s no good luck!" Blue Flash yelled. "You"re barely a peak level 6 s.p.a.ce awakener. If you go now, you"ll die. Period."
Varian rubbed his forehead. He was trying to convince her to let him get into the Layer s.p.a.ce and she was refusing.
He could understand her reasoning.
She sensed his powers and judged him to be about 0/6 or 1/6.
With that strength, if he did enter the layer s.p.a.ce, it"d indeed be suicide.
But in reality, Varian had far more strength. A total of six paths currently.
If he made proper use of them, he was confident of surviving in the layer s.p.a.ce, without too many heavy injuries.
But how should he convey this to her?
"I have no issues helping you, but this is just suicide." Blue Flash gave an ultimatum.
Varian sighed and looked at her with tired eyes. "I didn"t want to do this."
"Huh?" Blue Flash raised a brow in confusion. "Do what?"
"I"m warning you, don"t be too shocked." Varian continued in the same tone.
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Blue Flash was unnerved by his words and stood up.
Had he gone mad since she declined his request? She didn"t think he was petty. But then, what the f.u.c.k about his crazy line?
"Just one piece of advice." Varian raised a finger and said. "Don"t Panic."
With that, he snapped his fingers and Blue Flash"s eyes nearly popped out.
Her knees gave out and with a thump, she fell on the couch in an awkward position.
But her gaze was fixated on Varian.
She was gaping at him as she shakily pointed a finger and muttered in a broken voice.
"Y-You…h-how?"
"Don"t Panic," Varian said with a deadpan face and snapped his fingers again.
The six distinct auras in the air vanished as if they never existed.
"Haaaa~" Blue Flash drew a sharp breath as she wiped the sweat off her forehead.
If she hadn"t checked it a dozen times in the past few seconds, she"d have thought that it was an illusion.
As she stared at Varian with a mix of fear and amazement, his words caused her a deja vu.
"Can you help me train my s.p.a.ce path?"
This time, she nodded violently.
