Grey studied the inscription lines running through the barrier, tracing how they linked its many layers together. Whoever had built this array had sealed the surrounding space as well as the forest itself.
Forcing his way through would likely alert its owner, but he had no reason to cause that kind of trouble before finding the others.
"Do you know anything about this place, World Tree?"
"I don't know much about this specific forest, but we are inside the Red Realm. This realm is connected to Zenith Heaven."
"Oh."
Grey relaxed a little after hearing that, since at least he had reached the realm Elder Tharos had spoken about. Finding everyone would have been far harder if the Dao of Space had sent him somewhere else entirely.
He returned his attention to the formation and found the inscription lines that handled repairs. By guiding a small amount of Axiom Power through them, he could briefly move a section of the barrier without breaking its other functions.
