Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System-Chapter 608 - 608: WebPath

Alex filtered through the information, comparing it with what he got from Cyrith.
He confirmed many things, and his understanding of the universe expanded again.
"Interesting," Alex muttered.
"They even have a method to establish communication throughout the universe."
Based on what he saw, the universe had something called WebPath.
It was a system built inside another dimension, the Void dimension.
No one knew who made it, or how long it had existed.
But when someone cut through the fabric of space using a specific method, they would reach that dimension.
The Void was dangerous.
It was filled with strange beings that did not follow normal rules of matter and energy.
But it had safe zones.
Those safe zones were what civilizations used as WebPath.
MingYue looked at him. "So it's like a hidden road between worlds?"
"More like a layer beneath space," Alex said.
"A place you can enter from anywhere, if you know the method."
He paused, organizing the data in his mind.
Then he began explaining it in a way she could follow.
"Normal space is like a surface," Alex said.
"We move on it, and we think distance is fixed.
But the universe is not just one surface. It has deeper layers."
He tapped the air with his finger, as if drawing invisible lines.
"WebPath works because the Void is like a folded layer behind space.
When you cut space correctly, you are not just making a hole.
You are matching a shape."
MingYue frowned. "Matching a shape?"
"Yes," Alex said.
"Think of it like this. If you cut randomly, you enter the dangerous part of the Void.
You land in unstable zones where energy and matter do not behave normally."
He pointed at the rune-covered cube.
"But if you cut with a specific method, you force the opening to follow a stable geometry.
It locks onto the safe zone, the WebPath corridor."
MingYue's eyes narrowed. "So the method is the key."
"It's the key and the address," Alex said.
"The safe zone has fixed boundary conditions. It's like a stable pocket where space is smooth and predictable.
If your cut matches those boundary conditions, the opening snaps to the same place every time."
He continued, keeping his voice steady.
"In science terms, it's like connecting two regions through a controlled tunnel in spacetime.
People compare it to a wormhole concept.
The problem is always stability, because most tunnels collapse instantly."
MingYue listened without interrupting.
"WebPath solves stability by using the Void's structure," Alex said.
"The safe zone is already stable. It's like a naturally reinforced channel."
He drew another rune in the air.
"The method is basically a resonance pattern. It's a tuned vibration in space.
When the vibration matches the WebPath safe zone, you appear at the same coordinate inside that safe corridor, no matter where you cut from in normal space."
MingYue's brows rose. "Any spot in space leads to the same spot in the safe zone?"
"Not the same spot for everyone," Alex corrected.
"The entry point is standardized, but the destination depends on the second part of the method.
The first part gets you into the corridor safely.
The second part tells the corridor where to route your signal."
He looked back at the battleship data.
"They built it like a network. A stable corridor, then nodes.
Each node is anchored to real space through fixed points.
You can't see those points from normal space, but the corridor can."
MingYue tilted her head. "How does it keep the route from drifting?"
"Anchors," Alex said.
"They use repeating reference signals. Like how navigation uses fixed stars, but this uses fixed physics.
Certain cosmic structures don't change easily, so they become landmarks."
He paused again.
"And the corridor itself is topologically mapped.
That means the safe zone treats different entry cuts as equivalent, as long as they match the same pattern.
So it doesn't matter where you stand in space."
MingYue stared at the cube.
"So it's basically like radio frequency. As long as it's the right one, we connect."
"Exactly," Alex said.
"With this method, instead of sending signals across huge distances in normal space, they dip into WebPath, travel inside the corridor, then exit near the target node."
He narrowed his eyes.
"The dangerous part is that if you mess up the pattern, even a little, you land outside the safe zone.
Then the Void answers you instead of the corridor."
Alex believed some species used that as a trap, luring new civilizations into a fatal first attempt.
"Vesa never mentioned any of this. Seems this is a new system," MingYue said.
"Probably added by the winning Progenitor," Alex said.
"Honestly, I think this safe zone was created because of the war."
"In that case, other than transmitting data, can we use it as teleportation?"
"Maybe, but let's not try," Alex said. "Based on the Mecalyte information, it's forbidden to enter the WebPath physically.
I don't know the reason, but I'm sure they have countermeasures to make sure it doesn't happen."
"So what's the method to connect to WebPath?"
Alex smiled. "Ironically, they use runes for it.
This cube doesn't come from the Mecalyte. They acquired it somewhere else."
"Doesn't that mean we can use runes to access it ourselves?"
"Yes, in theory, as long as we can utilize more space power," Alex said.
"But despite how simple it sounds, the cost is expensive. It requires a huge amount of space crystals, especially the farther you are from the universe's center."
"Why?"
"No explanation," Alex said.
"But I think it's because space here is thicker, so it's harder to cut.
The center of the universe probably has some kind of device that allows easier cutting."
He added, "It's like a mobile network."
MingYue's eyes widened slightly.
"So they have some kind of satellites that continuously cut space and stay connected through WebPath."
Alex nodded.
"And that's also good news for us.
With this system, the information we send and receive is adjustable."
That meant they couldn't use WebPath to spy on him directly.
Of course, that was a different story if the one listening was a Primordial like Byakhee.
'Now that I think of it… does Byakhee come from the Void?'
