Chapter 2274: Chapter 1138: Border Great Wall

On the Nephthys, Dorothy stood by the porthole and gazed at the incomparably beautiful World Flower.

It was a flower blooming in the void, too magnificent to be described with words, a seductive blossom.

Countless worlds under her stem were stitched together, becoming the fertile soil that nourished her. Lofty towers connected heaven to earth, gods to mortals, like sturdy branches. Her top was composed of petal-like and leaf-like sky islands, and in the center, surrounded by numerous petals, three suns hovered while stars shone like stamens.

This is the Witch World.

The last time the homebody witch saw this spectacle was when she first visited the Moon Rabbit World.

However, back then, Dorothy was just a freshman witch, but now.....

Well, to be honest, she still counts as a freshman, but now she’s also the commander of a mighty army.

"No matter how many times I see it, it’s still so beautiful."

Watching the World Flower gradually receding, the homebody witch couldn’t help but marvel.

It’s just that they hadn’t completely left the scope of the Witch World yet.

The Witch World is divided into the Inner World and the Outer World; the Inner World is inside the World Flower, including the Flower Bud Sky Island, Flower Pole Sky Tower, and the Flower Soil World, etc.

As for the Outer World, it’s the distance from the World Flower to the Border Great Wall at the front line.

The Inner World is relatively peaceful, with more complete world laws, perfectly protected by the powers of the Third King. But the Outer World is already considered the world’s outer region, where the sunlight transformed by the Third King has weakened by the time it reaches here, thus it’s always twilight here, also called the Twilight Realm.

And, without the protection of the Third King, being near the world’s periphery makes the world laws here chaotic and fragile, causing the boundaries between reality and the Spirit World to blur.

Therefore, compared to the Inner World, the Outer World is much more dangerous. In this vast barren void, who knows how many dangerous monsters exiled or escaped from the Witch World and terrifying Spirit World invaders might hide about. Living and operating in the Outer World requires at least the power of a Great Witch.

However, even though the Twilight Realm is eternally in twilight, it is somewhat under the protection of the Third King. If one passes through the Twilight Realm further, with the weakening sunlight of the Third King, eventually plunging into darkness, then they’ve truly reached the supposed end of the world.

Ordinary worlds have World Barriers, enveloping the entire world like bubbles in water.

This is both protection and constraint.

World Barriers are generally very hard, effectively blocking external forces from invading the inner world.

But the existence of World Barriers also limits the world’s growth. To grow, a world must shed its old barrier like a snake shedding skin and create a bigger and stronger new barrier.

However, the Witch World is quite unique; it has no barrier.

Or, to be precise, she abandoned the barrier system.

After all, the Witch World grows too fast. Where normal worlds grow over billions of years, the Witch World took merely tens of thousands of years to grow from a small world to the Calamity World.

This is akin to a snake constantly shedding skin, too troublesome, so might as well discard that layer of skin.

While discarding it also means losing the protection of hard scales and soft skin, making both itself and its interior vulnerable to external invasion.

But who cares, since the Witch World is the residence of the Third King?

With these three powerhouses presiding, the Witch World is a high-risk forbidden area feared by countless races in the Western Universe. Not invading others is good enough; who would be foolish enough to come here with ill intent?

Therefore, it’s better not to have that useless barrier; its existence would only restrict the Witch World’s growth speed.

Hmm, thinking about it, the Witch World seems like a young girl who’s growing too fast for her old clothes and decides to run freely without clothes.

Oh, Mother of the World, huh.

Dorothy’s thoughts suddenly wandered.

But she quickly remembered that Mother Superior is still a little girl, which is definitely not alluring.

Nothing to be concerned about.

At this moment, the entire Mechanical Wilderness task fleet had started the Spirit World Transition mode.

This is quite a dangerous move, as the perils of the Spirit World need no further emphasis. In the Witch World’s Inner World, under the protection of the Third King’s powers akin to Spirit World suns, witches could freely transition to the Spirit World. Once that protection is gone, entering and exiting the Spirit World becomes risky; you might dive headfirst into the lair of an ancient Spirit World demon, and death could be uncertain.

The fleet is now in the Twilight Realm, where the glory of the Third King has waned, raising the danger of further Spirit World Transition.

However, that’s a concern for regular witches; for a luxurious fleet like theirs, the dangers of the Twilight Realm are trivial.

After all, the Twilight Realm still basks in the light of the Third King. The demons here are stronger and more dangerous than those in the Inner World, but not absurdly so; truly perilous ancient demons dare not appear here.
