Chapter 258 – The Seventh
The fault ran northeast to southwest across the eastern substrate for approximately two hundred kilometres.
He read it from a day's walk away through the Source Point integration. Not through Dragon Mode—the fault was in the deep substrate at a depth below the ancient network's construction layer, and Dragon Mode alone couldn't reach it. The Source Point integration could. The fault showed up in the substrate map the source was maintaining as a long gradient of movement—the geological layers on either side of the fault line shifting relative to each other at the slow continuous rate that the substrate had been moving at since the eastern hemisphere's formation.
The ancient network on both sides of the fault was dense and well-developed—the eastern primary system in full operation. The fault zone itself was clear of staging. Two hundred kilometres of deliberately empty substrate cutting through the densest ancient network he had encountered.
