Chapter141-The Source of the Fire Abyss Secret Realm
Seeing the outcome, the surrounding mages instinctively took a step back.In that fleeting moment, they had all witnessed the scene: a mage attempted to ambush the man who had seized the fire crystal, only to meet instant death.
No one even noticed how it happened—the attacker simply collapsed lifelessly.
At this moment, the crowd fully understood that the man who casually caught the fire crystal was no ordinary individual. He was a top-tier powerhouse, someone capable of feats beyond their imagination.
Those who had been watching from afar quickly averted their gaze, fearing that this formidable figure might direct his ire toward them.
Daniel calmly stored the fire crystal in his possession.
"It seems that only common fire stones are present here. To find better fire crystals, we'll have to delve deeper," he remarked, beginning to move forward.
The others followed behind him, treading carefully.
…
As the group ventured deeper, the heat grew increasingly unbearable.
Sparks ignited on the ground wherever their footsteps landed, prompting Daniel to halt and address the group.
"This isn't a place you should venture further into. Stay here for now."
Leaving the others behind, Daniel proceeded alone.
Reed turned to the rest of the group.
"Let's
After about half an hour of descending, Daniel finally reached the lowest level of the pit.
The world here was a sea of crimson, the oppressive heat kept at bay by Daniel's aura. Despite his resistance, he could still sense how uninhabitable this place was, saturated with an overwhelming aura of destruction and desolation.
Not far away, a river of molten lava flowed slowly, its surface occasionally bubbling and releasing bursts of energy.
When these bubbles burst, the resulting fire stones were carried upward by thermal currents.
More potent creations, resembling living entities, became fire crystals. While some fire crystals shot upward, most lay quietly along the riverbed.
Curious, Daniel moved toward the river's source, wondering where the lava originated.
To his surprise, he found the answer at the river's end—a flower.
A fiery red flower, vibrant and glowing as if aflame, was the source of the lava.
As Daniel approached, he realized that the flower was not alive but had long since turned to stone.
The lava flowed from its petals like blood, creating the river and the fire crystals it spawned.
"A single flower gave rise to this entire landscape… The lava river, the bottomless pit, fire stones, fire crystals, and even Sunken City itself," Daniel marveled at the phenomenon.
…
Reaching out, Daniel placed his hand on the petrified flower.
In an instant, his surroundings transformed.
It felt as though he had entered another world.
Daniel had encountered such a phenomenon before—when using the

to observe the universe's underlying structure.
From the flower, countless

radiated outward, connecting to unknown destinations.
Daniel extended his vast mind power along these rules, tracing their paths.
He discovered other petrified flowers in distant locations, each transformed into a unique state.
The flower before him, however, appeared to be the central hub, connecting all the others like a trunk to its branches.
"What exactly is this?" Daniel wondered aloud, delving deeper with his mind power.
Soon, a massive map materialized in his mind, showing a network of lines formed by the connections between the dead flowers.
This network outlined an enormous domain.
As he studied the map, realization dawned on Daniel.
This was a

, once a part of the world's consciousness—a remnant of its lifeblood.
The flowers had once bloomed in radiant glory. But with the death of the world's consciousness, this place had withered into desolation.
The death of the flowers had given rise to these unique, perilous regions.
