Their commission was suspicious.

"You're half right. Besides the side effects you mentioned, this wear and tear has other side effects as well. Do you know what weathering is?"

"Do you mean the phenomenon of rocks, soil, and geological materials drying out, crumbling, and breaking down due to temperature changes, strong winds, water erosion, and various chemical reactions?" Xiao Shi asked.

“…semi-literate.” Xiao Jiu glanced at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Jiu said Xiao Shi was semi-illiterate because what Xiao Shi said was correct, but not entirely correct.

"But that's the gist of it. Besides the psychological damage, I also experienced damage to my very essence. Although the damage to my soul and essence that I just suffered can be automatically repaired after a while, I was only there for a few seconds. The Dimensional Sea is truly terrifying." Xiao Jiu trembled slightly.

Xiao Jiu didn't even dare to say whether the psychological damage or the damage to one's very essence was more terrifying.

Because Xiao Jiu is currently in a juvenile form, she is not afraid of psychological damage. However, there are quite a few immortal beings in the bar, and psychological damage is a special attack against immortal beings.

The Demonic Yin Body in the Starry Sky Railway World operates on a similar principle.

If an immortal being continues to drift in the dimensional sea, it might suddenly lose its mind, go insane, and commit suicide.

On the contrary, the wear and tear on the fundamental source has a greater impact on Xiao Jiu at this stage.

Fortunately, Xiao Jiu only stayed in the Dimensional Sea for a short time. If she had stayed any longer, even the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Moreover, this is just one of the many buffs that the Dimensional Sea might impose on those who enter... The Dimensional Sea Travel Guide, after being compiled, contains about 100 pages of content, and 20 of them are about these potential negative buffs! And they are all in tiny print.

There are probably... over ten thousand negative buffs, right?

No wonder the Dimensional Sea Travel Guide says that environmental factors are the biggest cause of death for travelers visiting the Dimensional Sea for the first time.

While the probability of encountering a spacetime turbulence, which is 1 in 10000, is extremely rare, wear and tear is ubiquitous.

This kind of invisible danger is often the most terrifying.

Xiao Jiu suddenly didn't want to go on an adventure in the Dimensional Sea anymore...

Chapter 1772 Chen Luo, you even want to conquer the Dimensional Sea?!

"You didn't even remind me." After calming down for a while, Xiao Jiu tugged at Chen Luo's clothes.

"Is it possible that your feeling of being unaffected by the Dimensional Sea is an illusion, while my unaffectedness is a fact? Although it's hard to explain, I truly am unaffected by wear and tear." Chen Luo jumped out of the bar and floated in the Dimensional Sea.

After waiting for a full minute, Chen Luo returned to the bar under everyone's watchful eyes.

"See, it has no effect whatsoever," Chen Luo said, shrugging.

"...That shouldn't be the case, right? Psychological wear and tear doesn't really affect you much, after all, you're still young, and young people are often more resilient. But how could you possibly suffer from fundamental wear and tear... Never mind what I said."

Xiao Jiu suddenly remembered that talent in the spiritual realm often represents a person's soul origin. Although it is not absolute, it has reference value.

My talent is SS-level, but Chen Luo's talent is EX-level...

Moreover, it is the extremely ethereal and unique essence of "wish".

That makes sense.

"What? You're not that special." After Xiao Jiu finished explaining her guess, she patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.

"..." Although Chen Luo knew that Xiao Jiu was trying to find balance by taking advantage of him, he still couldn't help but make things difficult for her.

"Um... if the wear and tear characteristic can indeed be explained by your theory, then how do you explain the other 49 buffs you have?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment.

“I mean, besides the wear and tear buff, you have a total of 49 other buffs. These include, but are not limited to, accelerated bleeding, accelerated aging, autism, weightlessness, dementia, campfire phobia… Although most of these buffs disappeared after you entered the bar, quite a few are still attached to you,” Chen Luo said.

Now, in Chen Luo's eyes, Xiao Jiu is covered in all sorts of colors.

This is why Chen Luo didn't know what Xiao Jiu was doing when she put her hand on his head.

Because besides the wear and tear buff that Xiao Jiu can feel, there are more than a dozen other buffs that can be removed by patting someone's head.

The head pat can remove 90% of psychological buffs.

Xiao Jiu didn't notice, simply because the levels of these buffs were still low.

The most terrifying thing about the Dimensional Sea is these subtle influences, which even the strongest might overlook due to a lack of adaptation.

Having left the warm embrace of the world, the traveler faces the terror brought by the entire dimensional sea.

Boundless, confused, panicked...

99% of travelers who set foot in the dimensional sea are defeated by these things.

However, Chen Luo did not see any of these buffs on himself.

After arriving at the Dimensional Sea, the library ability of the three starter Pokémon was temporarily disabled because the Book of Akasha was not present there.

However, due to the sheer volume of things and data within the Dimensional Sea, their reconnaissance capabilities are temporarily "blinded" from the outside world.

Before he can adapt, Chen Luo probably won't be able to use his investigative abilities to explore his destiny.

This is why Chen Luo cannot see how many negative buffs are in the Dimensional Sea region he is currently in.

Just like how the naked eye cannot see how many colors of light are in sunlight.

However, Chen Luo could see the difference when it came to specific individuals.

Chen Luo himself is not good enough, because he doesn't have any of these buffs.

"..." When Xiao Jiu heard that she had only been in the Dimensional Sea for less than ten seconds and had already received so many seemingly terrifying buffs, she silently walked to a corner of the bar and sat down facing the corner.

The Dimensional Sea is too terrifying; I'd rather unleash my full power in the Spiritual Realm.

Let the young and adult forms explore the dimensional sea.

The Garbage Dimensional Sea is so bad, even a dog wouldn't go there!

"You gave up way too quickly, didn't you?" Chen Luo said, laughing and crying at the same time, as he grabbed Xiao Jiu by the collar and led her to the bar entrance.

"The Dimensional Sea is no fun at all. I'm still a child! In the three stages of life, my juvenile form is supposed to be responsible for stabilizing emotions and human feelings. I'm just a useless accessory in terms of combat power, but overall, no one can do without me. Why should I go and fight?" Xiao Jiu said, pouting.

"Don't say that. You're just suffering because of different worldviews. Didn't the Dimensional Sea Travel Guide say that although vehicles are relatively expensive in the Dimensional Sea, you can afford them if you work hard for a while? With a full set of equipment, exploring the Dimensional Sea will be much easier," Chen Luo comforted him.

It is unknown how many years the Dimensional Sea has existed, but it must have existed earlier than many worlds.

As the saying goes, "Every forest has its share of all kinds of birds," and over time, there will always be reckless individuals who dare to explore the dimensional sea.

The initial pioneering work undoubtedly resulted in the deaths of many people. It was only on the bones of countless people that the creatures of the world were able to establish themselves in the dimensional sea.

After continuous exploration, they have developed a systematic set of equipment and items for exploring the dimensional sea within those special rest points.

Without these things, even the Heavenly Emperor would find it difficult to move an inch in the Dimensional Sea; with these things, even an A-level talent could thrive in the Dimensional Sea...

Just like how it's difficult to kill the giant Yhorm without the Stormbreaker! ( )

Only a storm can topple a great tree!

Industry specializing in surgery.

Of course, exceptions to this rule apply.

For example, Chen Luo.

"That makes sense..." With Chen Luo's comfort, Xiao Jiu regained her confidence.

"Your ship can be used as a vehicle to travel in the Dimensional Sea, right?" Xiao Jiu asked.

“That’s right.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Let's all get on this ship and explore the Dimensional Sea together!" Xiao Jiu said excitedly.

“Sure, you guys go ahead,” Chen Luo said.

"how about you?"

"Me? I'm not going." Chen Luo quickly shook his head.

Why?

"Even the dogs aren't going to the Dimensional Sea, okay? I have ways to continue getting stronger within the world, why would I go to the Dimensional Sea to suffer?"

"...Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Xiao Jiu immediately started punching Chen Luo's chest with her little fists.

So all that talk you gave me was just empty promises?

"That's not right. You were the one who said you wanted to come to the Dimensional Sea, I didn't force you." Chen Luo shook his head.

“…You actually read my mind!” Xiao Jiu paused for a moment, then continued to punch Chen Luo’s chest with her little fists.

However, in the bar, the others no longer cared about Chen Luo occasionally reading their minds.

If someone reads your mind just to make you look bad, you'll definitely be annoyed. But if someone reads your mind to help you achieve all your desires, who wouldn't be happy?

As long as Chen Luo doesn't openly demonstrate his mind-reading ability, everyone can just pretend they don't know.

Anyway, Chen Luo won't talk nonsense.

"In short, the fact is that this broken dimensional sea is completely devoid of people. To obtain the Primal Stone, I first need to fulfill my wish, and to fulfill my wish, I first need to see living beings... I can't say that the dimensional sea and I are naturally compatible, but the dimensional sea is definitely not suitable for me," Chen Luo said.

[Tsk tsk, you're completely wasting your talent that allows you to survive unscathed in the dimensional sea!]

However, the humanized plugin knew that Chen Luo was right. For Chen Luo, the world was his home ground, because his reconnaissance and library abilities gave him a huge advantage.

Upon arriving at the Dimensional Sea, Chen Luo's two intelligence cheats, particularly the library, became completely useless, and his reconnaissance capabilities were reduced by more than half.

Without intelligence, it would be much more difficult for Chen Luo to complete the mission.

Chen Luo must have lost his mind to switch from focusing on the world to focusing on the dimensional sea.

"Damn it." Xiao Jiu's teeth were aching from looking at Chen Luo.

It was like eating the orange that Chen Luo brought from the dimensional sea.

"So, do you want to ride this ship or not? If you don't, I'll take it back, but then you'll lose your only vehicle in the Dimensional Sea," Chen Luo asked, pointing to the ship outside the bar.

"But this boat is a bit small... Do you want to come along?" After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Jiu looked at the other people in the bar.

Xiao Jiu, Yakumo Yukari, Herrscher of Knowledge, Merlin, and Chen Luo (who may or may not be going)... a four-person team is enough, but this makes the ship seem a bit small.

“I want to go, I’m very interested,” Merlin said, raising his hand.

“I want to go too!” said the Herald of Knowledge.

While simulated universes are certainly appealing, it's clear that the ocean of dimensions is far more captivating.

There are indeed many dangers in the Dimensional Sea, but as long as you stay in a vehicle, there shouldn't be any major problems. Moreover, if something happens, you can simply summon the bar to escape.

It's perfectly safe!

"You wait here, I'm going to Golden Earth to recruit teammates right now!" Yakumo Yukari's eyes darted around, then she turned and ran off without even consulting Chen Luo, the store manager.

Yukari Yakumo kicked open the bar door, came to the foot of the World Tree, and roared.

"Get up! The sun's high in the sky! Time to begin our journey through the dimensional sea!"

The result was a riot.

"Alright, now the ship, which was already packed, looks even smaller," Chen Luo sighed.

"I know you definitely have a solution!" Xiao Jiu stood on tiptoe and patted Chen Luo's thigh.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“…Indeed.” Chen Luo nodded.

After glancing at Yakumo Yukari, who was recruiting teammates, Chen Luo walked to the bar entrance and placed his hand on the not-too-large wooden boat.

"Hyperion! Deploy!"

As a massive amount of magic power drained from Chen Luo's body, the wooden boat, which could only accommodate three or four people normally, shone brightly, appearing dazzling in the dimensional sea.

After the blazing sun that had been blocking the bar entrance disappeared, a massive warship appeared before Xiao Jiu.

"Wow..." Xiao Jiu couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Chen Luo's ship can be modified. As long as Chen Luo is willing to expend magic power and has a complete and detailed blueprint, he can expand the size of the ship.

If Chen Luo hadn't never been on a Celestial Ship before, he could have even created one capable of carrying hundreds of millions of people!

The magic power consumed might be a little too much; even if all the magic power stored in Chen Luo's body were drained, it might not be enough.

Even this Hyperion was constructed using nearly 40% of Yu's magic power.

The Hyperion appeared out of place in the Dimensional Sea.

Yes, but the Hyperion's hatches did not open and the landing gear was not lowered.

Chen Luo closed the bar door instead, but when he opened it again, the bar door was already inside the Hyperion, saving him the trouble of stepping onto the landing gear to enter the Hyperion.
